Donald Glover Recruits Malia Obama As Writer For TV Series

Donald Glover has hired Malia Obama as a writer on his new TV series.

At the season three premiere of his show “Atlanta” in Los Angeles last week, the multi-hyphenate told Vanity Fairthat the daughter of former U.S. President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle Obama is “an amazingly talented person.”

“She’s really focused, and she’s working really hard,” Donald shared. “I feel like she’s just somebody who’s gonna have really good things coming soon. Her writing style is great.”

It is believed Malia has been hired to work on Donald’s upcoming Amazon series, tentatively named “Hive,” which follows a Beyoncé-like character.

Donald’s brother, Stephen Glover, is collaborating on the project as well, and also took the time to praise the 23-year-old’s contribution.

“Donald always says perspective is important, and people with different perspectives are important for a writers’ room. And for sure, she definitely has a unique perspective on everything,” he told the outlet.

“So, we wanted to hear her stories and have her work with us. Listening to her stories and having her involved really gave us a lot of good ideas.”

Malia graduated from Harvard University last year.

She previously completed an internship at The Weinstein Company in 2017, and garnered summer work experience at several TV studios.

Rapper G Herbo Friend’s Death Linked To U.S. Soldiers Gun Ring

Members of the United States militia may be linked to the killing of a No Limit Muskegon Boys gang member in early 2021. 

The deceased was an associate of Chicago rapper G-Herbo, and his murderer used a gun sold to him by one of the soldiers.

According to NBC 5, the handgun used to kill Gregory Jackson III at Studio Nineteen barbershop on January 28th, 2021, was traced to a trio of U.S. soldiers at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, who had an illicit gun racket with Chicago’s underworld.

The firearm was a .40-caliber Glock, and law enforcement connected the gun to the three men by matching the firearm’s serial number to one of the guns the soldiers are accused of selling.

The Feds reported another Glock, reportedly linked to the same cache of weapons, wounded seven people and killed one man at a mass shooting during a party in the 2500 block of West 79th Street on March 11th, 2021.

Law enforcement suspects that this shooting was gang-related also.

One of the three soldiers accused of selling the guns was Brandon Miller a former Chicago resident. Along with Jarius Brunson and DeMarcus Adams, the three men conspired to buy more than 90 guns at stores along the Tennessee-Kentucky border, near the Fort Campbell base.

There is a Federal gun trafficking conspiracy case against them in Nashville, TN. The evidence is mounting against the soldiers.

Prosecutors claim the empty gun cases discovered in Clarksville, Tennessee, correlated with the guns recovered by the Chicago police in the two killings.

The military base where Miller currently lives is in the town of Clarksville. 

Federal agents testified that Miller would get an order. Then, other soldiers would buy the guns for him. He would smuggle them to his connection in Chicago after he received them.

Miller has been held without bail in jail since May 14th, 2021, two months after the last shooting. Miller’s co-defendants were arrested also but released on bail.

A trial is still pending.

G Herbo talked about Jackson’s death shortly after his brazen murder.

“SHORTY ALL I KNOW IS YOU!! FROM THE F###### CRADLE 2 THE GRAVE LITERALLY! AS IM WRITING THIS CAPTION TWIN I AIN’T EVEN DROPPING TEARS CUZ 4 WHAT WE ALWAYS BEEN STRONGER TOGETHER & YOU STILL WITH ME RIGHT NOW.. I FEEL YOU!” G Herbo said. “I DREAMT ABOUT YOU IMMEDIATELY & WHEN I DID I DIDN’T EVEN UNDERSTAND IT TOOK ME A COUPLE DAYS & IM STILL UNDERSTANDING MORE BUT RN I GET A CLEARER PICTURE… YOU KNOW HOW WE LIVE & YOU KNOW HOW WE PLAY.. NUN ELSE TO SAY.. IT BE SO KRAZY HOW I RYHME EVERY TIME I WRITE A CAPTION DAMN NEAR CUZ THIS S### NEVER PRACTICED! LOL I KNOW YOU 1 N#### THAT WANT THE BEST FOR ME & WANT THE BEST OUT OF ME!!!! IM TRYING TO BE MY BEST RN LIL BRO & ITS HARD BUT IM TRYINGGGGGGGG FOLKS!!

Machine Gun Kelly Worried His Career Will Stall If He Settles Down

Machine Gun Kelly fears his “stable life” will have an impact on his music.

During an interview for the latest issue of Billboard magazine, Machine Gun Kelly pondered whether pursuing a career in the entertainment industry, as well as his life in Hollywood with fiancée Megan Fox, might have an impact on his songwriting.

“The torture is real. However, do I invite the torture or create it for myself? Probably,” the 31-year-old admitted. “Do I fear a stable life? Do I fear that it’s going to stop my writing? For sure. Sometimes I wake up and it’s like, ‘It’s sunny today. I live in this house today. What am I? I am a mainstream sellout, dude.'”

Machine Gun Kelly, real name Colson Baker, went on to note that he put on an “exoskeleton of arrogance and cockiness” when he was first starting out in the music industry to protect himself.

“I’m overcompensating so much for how I actually was inside. I was scared to be myself,” he added.

The couple announced they were engaged in January of 2022. They broke the news by sharing a video of the proposal on Megan Fox’s Instagram page.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CYpcFruB2UB/


“In July of 2020 we sat under this banyan tree. We asked for magic,” the Transformers star wrote. “We were oblivious to the pain we would face together in such a short, frenetic period of time. Unaware of the work and sacrifices the relationship would require from us but intoxicated off of the love. And the karma.


“Somehow a year and a half later, having walked through hell together, and having laughed more than I ever imagined possible, he asked me to marry him. And just as in every lifetime before this one, and as in every lifetime that will follow it, I said yes…and then we drank each other’s blood.”

The 31-year-old musician followed up the announcement with a close-up video of the custom diamond and emerald engagement ring he created with British jewelry designer Stephen Webster.


“Yes, in this life and every life,” Machine Gun Kelly captioned the video. “Beneath the same branches we fell in love under, I brought her back to ask her to marry me.”

The star’s sixth studio album, Mainstream Sellout,” was released on Friday.

Casanova Claims His Constitutional Rights Were Violated; Seeks To Have Key Evidence Tossed

Embattled rap star Casanova claims his Fourth Amendment rights were violated, and he is seeking to have critical evidence against him tossed from court.

Casanova says the Feds overstepped their boundaries when they seized and reviewed information from his iCloud account. 

The rapper’s lawyer James Kousouros, Esq. argued that the warrant for his iCloud account violated Casanova’s Fourth Amendment rights in numerous ways.

Casanova claims the government targeted him and his iCloud account simply because he took pictures with various Untouchable Gorilla Stone members.

Kousouros said there was no probable cause to believe that the iCloud account contained any evidence, let alone “extensive” evidence, of his suspected criminal activity.

While the agents swore under oath that Cas’ Cellphone was “listed” on his iCloud account, “iCloud was built into the phone, and there was no probable cause to believe that he had ever set up his iCloud account, enabled it, and backed up data on it,” Kousouros argued.

The lack of proof that the iCloud account belonged to Casanova constitutes a “fatal flaw” in granting the original search warrant. 

“Even if there was probable cause that [Casanova’s] iCloud account contained stored data and that he committed some or all of the Subject Offenses, allegations that [Casanova] used his cellphone an unidentified number of times to facilitate crimes did not provide reason to believe that criminal activity “pervaded” his iCloud account. As such, the warrant was overbroad in its sweeping authorization to search potentially the entire universe of [Casanova’s] life,” his lawyer said.

Casanova’s lawyer also said the warrant to search his iCloud account did not provide any details about his suspected criminal activity other than referencing the names of co-conspirators, “the underlying criminal enterprise,” and several criminal statutes he allegedly violated.

The rapper says the inadequate parameters allowed the Feds to rummage through his life, even though there was more than one phone connected to the account. 

“The warrant permitted the government to seize and review a repository of [Casanova’s] entire life and then rummage through it on an unconstitutional fishing expedition merely on the basis that he allegedly used an Apple device to facilitate crimes,” Kousouros explained. 

Casanova is one of 18 people charged with various criminal offenses in a sweeping indictment charging the gang with dealing large amounts of drugs and guns, committing acts of violence, and even murder.

The rap star is accused of dealing crack and marijuana to benefit the Untouchable Gorilla Stone Nation.

Casanova is also charged with attempted murder over a violent shooting in Miami on October 24th, 2020, which left two rival crip gang members seriously wounded after they were shot.

Casanova surrendered to authorities in December of 2020. He is currently being held in the Westchester County Jail.

Travis Scott Performs First Time Since Astroworld At Pre-Oscar Party

Rap star Travis Scott is slowly working his way back to performing.

The embattled rapper hopped on the stage during a celebrity-filled pre-Oscar party in West Hollywood.

TMZ caught footage of Trav’s return to the stage during a brief set where he rapped and DJ’ed.

Several A-listers were in the room to watch Travis pick the microphone back up for the first time and almost 7 months.

Celebrities who watched Travis rock included Leonardo, DiCaprio, Tyga, Venus and Serena Williams, Tobey Maguire, and others.

Travis may have been shaking off the rust since his hiatus from performing after the AstroWorld tragedy.

Travis Scott was headlining his event in Houston, Texas, on November 5th when the crowd surged, resulting in 10 fatalities and hundreds of injuries.

The youngest of the ten victims was nine-year-old Ezra Blount, while the oldest was 27. Around 300 people were injured and treated at the festival site, and 25 were taken to hospital.

Officials announced that the people killed at the event died from compression asphyxia, meaning they could not breathe due to external pressures on the body.

According to Kanye West, Travis Scott will make a surprise appearance during his set at the Coachella Music Festival in April. 

The 2022 Coachella Festival is slated to begin on April 15th. Billie Eilish is headlining on April 16th and 23rd, while Kanye West is atop the bill on April 17th and 24th.

Kim Kardashian Flaunts Pete Davidson Tattoo To 295 Million People

Kim Kardashian is taking full advantage of Kanye West’s absence from social media by flaunting new ink on her boyfriend, Pete Davidson.

Kim showed off a piece of ink Pete dedicated to her in a post on her Instagram stories feed.

The picture displayed the “Saturday Night Live” stars amateurish looking tattoo which simply reads: “My Girls A Lawyer.”

Kim Kardashian Shows Pete Davidson's Tattoo

Pete Davidson reportedly had the word “KIM” branded on his chest. 

That particular body art was revealed when a conversation between Kanye and Pete Davidson made its way to the internet.

The comedian posted a shirtless picture of himself in bed with Kanye’s ex-wife, as the two men argued over text messaging after the rapper’s repeated attacks on Kim and Pete.

Kim confirmed Pete had honored her with the body art on a promotional run for her upcoming series on Hulu, “The Kardashians.”

“(It) isn’t a tattoo, it’s actually a branding,” Kim Kardashian said during an interview with Ellen DeGeneres, making a stamping gesture. “Because he wanted to do something that was really different. (Pete told Kim), ‘I don’t want to be able to get rid of it or to cover it up, and I just wanted it there as like a scar on me.'”

In addition, Kim disclosed that Pete, 28, has several other tattoos devoted to her.

“He has a few tattoos, a few cute ones, that he got,” the 41-year-old revealed, indicating that the actor has at least three new pieces of body art. “(They are) cutesy things…my favorite one… says, ‘My girl is a lawyer.'”

Kim and Kanye, 44, started dating in 2012 and tied the knot in May 2014. They have four children – North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm.

After filing divorce proceedings in February 2021, a judge declared Kim legally single. The mother-of-four started dating Pete last November.

Kim Kardashian Explains Why It Was So Hard To Be Pregnant With Kanye’s Child North

Kim Kardashian discussed how difficult it was to be pregnant and in the public eye while pregnant with North, her daughter with Kanye West, in 2013.

During an appearance at Vogue’s Forces of Fashion conference in New York, the reality TV star revealed she was hurt by the nasty comments aimed at her weight gain.

“(I remember) the whole experience of being pregnant in the spotlight, how nasty people were to me in the press for gaining weight while pregnant, (but) you get to a place where you realize it doesn’t matter,” the 41-year-old continued. 

Kim Kardashian has since discovered that she does not need to waste time pondering what other people think.

“It took me until recently to reach that point, but you do figure it out. (Eventually) you get to this place where you don’t care, even though there are all these messages about you. It can be hard to take the high road and avoid correcting the narrative.”

Elsewhere in the chat, Kim revealed North is not afraid to criticize her famous mom’s outfits.

“North is very opinionated when it comes to what I’m wearing,” Kim Kardashian said of the eight-year-old. “She’ll always complain when I’m wearing too much black. I showed up at her school on Valentine’s Day wearing head-to-toe pink, and she got so excited she ran over and hugged me.

“(Of course), she opened my coat, saw the black lining, and says ‘Mom, you’re still wearing black.'”

Lizzo Seeks Out Friends For Advice About New Album; Teases Huge Deal

Lizzo knows she has a hit on her hands when her friends start twerking to a track.

During an appearance on “The Late Late Show” with James Corden, the “Juice” hitmaker offered fans a preview of her upcoming song, “About Damn Time.”

In addition, host James asked Lizzo to whom she goes for honest feedback about her new music.

“My friends. They’ll tell me. They’ll be like, ‘This ain’t it girl.’ Or once they start twerking, I’m like, ‘This is it,'” she replied. “And then, I play it for my mom. But she is last to hear it because she is a Virgo woman and she’s a harsh critic… but she cried, she loved it.”

Lizzo didn’t confirm the release date for the track, or divulge when she plans to release her fourth studio album, which she recently completed.

In related news, Lizzo is celebrating the release of her new show “Watch Out for the Big Grrrls,” which just debuted on Amazon Prime. 

The show follows the rap star as she searches for women to join her as backup dancers. And the new show on Amazon is just one of several power moves she is making. 

According to Lizzo, she has a massive deal in the works but has yet to reveal more details.

“I know what y’all thinkin.. ‘damn lizzo you just announced a TV show… A single… and SNL,” Lizzo said referencing her upcoming appearance on the hit show on April 16th. 

“Now what??’ But y’all don’t understand- I can’t be stopped,” Lizzo stated confidently. “This is my season. I’m about to be everywhere and I’m about to announce the biggest thing YET. Bigger than anything I’ve ever done. 3 years in the making. A Dream Come True. Stay tuned b####.”

Despite His Peers Boycotting The Awards, Producer Hit-Boy Says Grammys Still Matter!

Even though J. Prince, Damon Dash, and Kanye don’t believe winning Grammy awards should matter to artists in the Hip-Hop community, there are still those who value the golden gramophone trophies.

One example is Nas’ producer, Hit-boy, who has won three out of his nine nominations for producing for artists like Jay-Z, Ye, Nipsey Hussle, and Nas.

During a recent interview with ABC News, Hit-boy was asked if he believed the Grammys still matter, especially considering some of his peers talking about canceling it and Kanye, one of his friends, being disinvited because of his erratic behavior.

Hit-boy said, “It’s a little extra stamp of all the hard work you put in. You don’t just get one of these by just playing around. You have to be at the top of the top. It’s like the NBA Finals or the Super Bowl.

“It’s that extra piece of motivation to know you’re doing the right thing musically,” he said. “The nominations alone. But winning with Nipsey, winning with Nas, I have real meaningful Grammys. Kanye West and Jay-Z. I didn’t win by just playing around. I made some records that will stand the test of time.”

J. Prince has called for a boycott of the award show and plans to do an alternative concert.

As reported by AllHipHop.com, J Prince blasted the ceremony saying it has a “slave master” mentality around it, and called for artists to stand in solidarity against The Recording Academy.

“I’ve been watching the Grammys control and dictate our culture to their benefit up close and personal for the past 30 years,” J Prince said. “And all the artists, managers, and executives would do is complain, but never have the nuts to come together to do anything about it.”

“This is a slave master, punish a n#### mentality and act to remind us that no matter how much money we have, we’re still n##### in their eyes,” J Prince continued.  

“I recommend that the artists I mentioned above—and more—come together in Las Vegas and perform at the same time as the Grammys on a special network and streaming platform to prove that ratings will change where the Grammys are concerned when the No. 1 selling genre in music—hip-hop—come together,” he said. “Because there’s power in numbers.”  

He then concluded, “The powers that be will be mad at me about this one. But f### ’em! I love the culture. The seed has been planted; let’s water it.”

LESANE On Why He’s “The World’s Best Kept Secret”

Lesane is in his own lane, creating his own sound on his own terms. Hailing from a small town called Handsworth in the heart of Birmingham, England, the rising star creates his own version of emo trap, with an undeniable knack for melodies and heartfelt lyricism. 

Listing Chief Keef, Tupac, Kendrick Lamar, 50 Cent, and Michael Jackson as his biggest influences, LESANE made the conscious decision at 14 years old to commit to his music career, eventually dropping out of school and moving to New York City to pursue his dreams. 

In describing himself, LESANE states he’s “the world’s best kept secret.” 

Upon hearing any of LESANE’s songs, you’re immediately drawn and sucked into his musical soundscape. It’s refreshing, it’s unique, and it’s versatile. To date, LESANE has been releasing a slew of music for his growing fanbase, seeing much success with his breakout single “Don’t Do Drugs” which has accumulated over 8.6 million streams to date.

Fast forward to today, the 24-year-old returns with his newest single titled “Love (Boo Thang),” which holds fans over until the release of his forthcoming project titled GENRELESS.

AllHipHop: How are you doing?

LESANE: Still alive. Still breathing. Just drinking some tea. 

AllHipHop: How is it over there in Birmingham?

LESANE: Mundane. 

AllHipHop: How would you describe your sound?

LESANE: I try to be fluid. I don’t like to operate in the same realm so I try to do as much as I can in terms of creating different sounds. 

AllHipHop: What was it like growing up in Handsworth?

LESANE: I always felt like an outcast. I always felt like I wanted to express myself differently from how people usually express themselves. It was a lot of character building. It was tough. It was rough, but it was a good story building moment. 

AllHipHop: When did you fall in love with music?

LESANE: I remember one time when I was a kid, my cousin Chami saw me making melodies and tapping on tables. He said “Yo, one day you’re gonna be a musician.” When he died, that just replayed in my head so I said “okay, maybe I should become a musician.” I also knew I didn’t want to do the typical school route and figuring it out that way, so music just became the path that I was most passionate about.

AllHipHop: Talk about moving to New York City to pursue your dreams. 

LESANE: New York was sick. It gave me perspective, because I was operating under the collective consciousness of Handsworth. I used to think that life was only as big as where I was from. Going to New York changed my perspective because it’s like, “Oh, there’s so many different people out there and everyone has their own perspective.” New York is filled with so many different types of people. When you’re having conversations with people, you can see the difference, especially when you’re from a small town. New York was a dope part of my life because it showed me that if you want to figure something out, you have to put your work in and eventually you’ll figure it out. 

AllHipHop: How’d it feel to drop out of school? What did your parents think? 

LESANE: My parents didn’t know I dropped out of school. I dropped out of school at the beginning of the year. I’d leave the house every morning and act like I was going to school, but I wasn’t. I was just going out, speaking to girls and stuff. But when my mom found out. she was going crazy. She didn’t approve of the music stuff in any way. Over time, she started hearing the music and she started seeing how serious I was. She just started supporting heavy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mdpXDUYaQU

AllHipHop: What inspired your song “Houdini”?

LESANE: “Houdini” and “Don’t Do Drugs” was me tired of not expressing myself the way I wanted. So those were the two records I made that were completely different from what I usually do. It was fun. It was sick. That showed I can make records outside of what I’m used to. Make it still sound cool, even though those two records are foundational in terms of my sound. “Houdini” and “Don’t Do Drugs” were the beginning of where the Genreless tape ended up sounding like. Genreless is like punk rock, pop music, but the foundation of it was “Don’t Do Drugs” and “Houdini.” Because that’s when I said I’m done expressing myself in a limited way. I’m a do whatever I want, whenever I want. [snaps]

AllHipHop: How was it shooting with Nicholas Jandora?

LESANE: Nicholas is a good guy, him and the team were great. They’re so easy to work with. We got the video done ASAP. 

AllHipHop: How did you guys link originally?

LESANE: I think it came from Patrick. Patrick sent me some of his stuff and I said, “Yeah, we’ve got to get him on a video.” Patrick is marketing at UM (UnitedMasters).

https://youtu.be/yaaKon0993k

AllHipHop: Talk about your new song “Love (Boo Thang).”

LESANE: It feels good man, it’s good. It’s always good to have new records out. I’m just excited to keep pushing music.

AllHipHop: Is there a certain female that inspired this record?

LESANE: I just wanted to create something that was wholesome for couples. I wanted to drop it for Valentine’s Day so couples could live with it. One day, it’s going to be the Valentine’s Day soundtrack. 

AllHipHop: Is there rock influences in this record?

LESANE: I don’t think I’ve ever had any rock influences, that’s why it’s weird I make the type of music I make. Most of my influences are rappers:. Travis Scott. Kanye West, Bob Marley, Tupac. Biggie. Michael Jackson. It’s weird for me to end up making rock music. I used to see rock songs on the TV, but that’s about it. The first rock band I ever heard was Neck Deep and I was about 19. 

AllHipHop: What can we expect from the music video?

LESANE: I’d rather not say anything. I rather people watch it and create their own perspective on it. I’m just excited to get another video out. I’m excited to get all the videos out.

AllHipHop: What do you want fans to get from your story?

LESANE: That I’m just a kid that’s expressing himself in his bedroom. Just a normal guy, making normal songs. Talking about how i feel in hopes to find people that relate.

AllHipHop: 3 things you need in the studio?

LESANE: Just a laptop and microphone, and we’re good to go.

AllHipHop: What can we expect from your new album, Genreless?

LESANE: Music that you wouldn’t expect from some who’s from where I’m from. Genreless is expressing yourself through different sonics and sounds, without being restricted to anything specific. 

https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ7med5snoW/

AllHipHop: I think I saw you play the guitar too?

LESANE: I’m actually learning to play the guitar. I’m still in the early stages trying to figure it out. It’s hard, but it’s a fun process.

AllHipHop: What do you like to do when you’re not making music?

LESANE: Think about what song I want to make next. [laughs] There’s literally nothing else that I do apart from make music.

AllHipHop: How’s the independent grind?

LESANE: It’s fun. It’s a lot of character building. It’s a lot of trials and tribulations… Life’s a process, everything always unfolds how it’s supposed to. What I’m learning is you can’t really expect to reach greatness without going through the grind. You gotta put the work in to build a foundation that will last. 

AllHipHop: Do you have any goals for yourself?

LESANE: I hope to find myself one day outside of music, just find myself. That would be a personal goal. Right now, it’s just about music. Hopefully one day I can change the world, but right now the focus is getting these records heard, making people relate, and inspiring people.

Tory Lanez Claims Self-Defense In “Love & Hip Hop” Star Prince Altercation

Rapper Tory Lanez, who was accused of beating up reality star Prince from “Love & Hip Hop,” has asked a judge to dismiss the case. 

The singer/rapper believes he did nothing wrong and was justified claiming he acted in self-defense.

The two men were involved in a fight at the LIV Nightclub on Nov. 8, 2019.

Prince, whose real name is Christopher Harty, filed a lawsuit in 2020 alleging the Canadian artist “verbally antagonized” him and “attempted to engage [Prince] in a verbal confrontation.” 

He is also said the artist’s security, on Tory’s command, jumped in and assaulted him, causing him physical, psychological, and mental distress “from blunt force trauma” to his neck, chest, and back.

The VH1 star said another Tory Lanez employee attacked him at the Vendome Nightclub in May of 2021. Prince was hanging out with Malcolm Butler in a VIP area of the club. 

When Prince was alone, Tory Lanez allegedly went on the offensive and attacked the reality star. Prince ended up with a headache and a swollen mouth. 

Prince is seeking unspecified damages. But Tory’s team says the altercation was an act of self-defense.

According to RadarOnline, Tory has answered the claim by saying, “A person is justified in using or threatening to use force against another when and to the extent that the person reasonable believes that such conduct is necessary to defend himself or another against the other’s imminent use of unlawful force.”

He asked a judge to dismiss the lawsuit because they allegedly agreed to square up.

The judge has not responded with a ruling.

Chika Appears Suicidal On IG Post

Chika has startled her fans with a post that suggests that she may try taking her own life.

The Grammy-nominated singer/rapper made a lengthy post on Instagram that rang out like a precursor to suicide.

Chika has long wrestled with the rigors of the music industry. Last year, she “retired” from music due to the “mental toll” it took on her. At that time, she also expressed the cruelties of social media. She last released new music in March of 2021.

In the post, she said she is exploring her options.

“i went to the top of the intercontinental, but could not jump. not because i don’t want to, but because the metal stairs were scary,” she said, “it looks like crying wolf, but it’s not. it’s just difficult to find the right way. the quickest way. the painless way. i am tired of myself too.”

Fan and music industry types posted uplifting messages for the 25-year old creative.

Brownstone singer Nicci Gilbert made a touching post.

I don’t know what to say except that I LOVE YOU! I think you’re DOPE AF and you inspire so many artists and creatives. I hope you keep going I hope you know this feeling is temporary. There are people who care and can help you. Please reach out to my friend and advocate @shantidas404 @silencetheshame If there is anything I can promise you it’s that one day when you’ve lived long enough, you will see why it’s so important to FIGHT & LIVE through the most painful times of your life and career. I pray GOD covers you sister and I don’t know you… but I feel you.

Is Lola Brooke The Next Queen Of Brooklyn? Check This Interview!

Lil Kim said it best … Brooklyn is the home of the greatest rappers.

There is a legacy in the borough that has curated extraordinary emcees, some that you’ve heard of and some that will forever be lore of the streets.

Biggie. Jay-Z. Fab. AZ. Big Daddy Kane. Joey Badazz. Pop Smoke.

While we can go on and on about the dudes out of Kings County, we can’t forget the females’ impact in the space. MC Lyte. Foxy Brown. Again, Lil Kim and now Lola Brooke.

Straight out of Bedford-Stuyvesant, the pint-size emcee brings more to the table than good looks and a rugged flow. Lola is a complete artist — with a pen, versatile style, and desire to be great. No … scratch that. A desire to be extraordinary.

Just ask her, and she will tell that she is the child of DMX and Lil Kim, two of Hip-Hop’s most extraordinary artists.

Kim’s name comes up a lot with Lola because she seems to be carrying the torch in her honor. The only difference is, there is no male crew behind her.

What she does have is a whole hood, rooting for her to win.
In an exclusive interview with AllHipHop.com’s Nikki Duncan-Smith, she talks about her journey, her process in the booth, celebrates a few milestones in her career (this year she appeared on four stages at SXSW, one of the most respected music festivals in the world) and talks about scamming to get a little person’s check with Lil Nikki (who is taller than she by ¼ inch).

Rapper Ksoo Indicted By Grand Jury; Upgraded Charges For Two Murders

A grand jury has indicted rapper Ksoo for first-degree murder in two cases.

The artist, whose real name is Hakeem Robinson, is alleged to have killed Adrian Gainer (aka Bibby) in February 2019 and Charles McCormick (aka Lil Buck) in January 2020.

Police believe the Jacksonville native murdered the two men during separate gang-related events.

Ksoo has been in on locked in Duval County jail for close to two years ago in September 2020, after being charged with Buck’s death earlier in the year.

The rapper’s record label, Cinematic Music Group, stepped up to pay his bond, but while he was in jail, law enforcement hit him with a charge for Bibby’s death in 2019.

They alleged that Ksoo shot Bibby at the Hilltop Village Apartments on West 45th Street.

A week before the indictment for the two murders, Ksoo appeared for a bond hearing in a Duval Court. The question of who was going to cough up a $4 million bond to get him out of jail was raised.

Ksoo’s lawyers wanted the rapper’s bond lowered. Ksoo told the judge that he had no income because he was incarcerated.
.
The prosecution played his 2021 song and video “Been Dead,” where Ksoo brags about killing people to further justify the high bond.

Cinematic Music Group boss CEO Jonny Shipes was willing to put up some money towards the hefty bond before the indictment came down.

Abdul Robinson Jr, Ksoo’s brother, was also indicted for first-degree murder for one of the men. The two men’s father, Abdul Robinson Sr., is charged with being an accessory to at least one of the crimes.

Joyner Lucas Suggests “Russian Hackers” To Blame For His Twitter Tirade About Machine Gun Kelly & Lollapalooza

Joyner Lucas apparently regrets his recent rant about Machine Gun Kelly and Lollapalooza.

The East Coast rapper deleted a series of Twitter posts blasting MGK and the music festival. Joyner Lucas blamed hackers for his social media outburst.

“Them Damn Russian hackers dun hacked my phone yesterday smh,” he wrote.

Joyner Lucas aired out Lollapalooza – and music festivals in general – after seeing his name in small font on the event’s flyer.

“These festivals [are] gon stop playing with me like I ain’t that n####,” he wrote. “Putting my name next to the names of a bunch of random n##### that nobody heard of and offering me a weak ass [money]. Then I say no to the offer and these hoe ass n##### put me on the flier anyways. @lollapalooza.”

He continued, “N##### is on gon start putting respek on my name. For years [I’ve] been getting these weak ass offers like I’m some lil n####. Then n##### who ain’t even on my level or doing my numbers is getting put in BIG LETTERS while they write my s### hella small on the flier! How sway?!!”

Joyner Lucas claimed he’s the biggest independent artist not named Tech N9ne. He also slammed Lollapalooza for booking Machine Gun Kelly as a headliner.

“Then you got this goofy ass n#### headlining?” he wrote. “Smh how sway?”

Joyner Lucas then dismissed the notion of facing any blowback from MGK.

“Someone said ‘don’t bring out the rap devil’… maaaaannnn listen,” he wrote. “Lol. What my brother Marshall did to this n#### @machinegunkelly is light compared to what’s waiting if he wanna walk down that street wit me. Ain’t nobody worried bout a n#### who paints his nails. Foh.”

Lollapalooza 2022 is scheduled to take place at Grant Park in Chicago on July 28-31. Tickets are available here.
