Pusha T Leaves Def Jam, Relationship With Kanye Is More Complex

The music industry is a complicated space, but there are times when people do things and let you know their friendship is greater is more important than the deals.

Rapper Pusha T took to social media to let fans know that Kanye West, his label head and friend, has amicably released him from his Def Jam contract. The post caption reads simply, “Some people call you their brother, other people show you you’re BROTHERS. Thanx ‘Yezos…’”

The Virginia native posted the last page of a contract with Def Jam, one of the most iconic Hip-Hop labels in history. The business arrangement is between the house that LL built and Getting Out Our Dreams, Inc. It has long been whispered that Push wanted to concentrate on blowing up his own Heir Wave Music Group imprint, but in order for this to have happened, some things will have to change.

In 2010, Pusha T signed with G.O.O.D. Music and by 2016, he was appointed the President of the label.

Over the years, the label has signed over 25 artists. The list includes big megastars like Common, John Legend, Big Sean, Mos Def, Kid Cudi, Desiigner, and Teyana Taylor. Pusha T is one of the last big names — notwithstanding Q-Tip and Ye— to still be listed on the roster.

Since he still loves his fans, new music like It’s Not Dry Yet (INDY), which is supposed to drop in February, will be on the label.

Victor, an associate close to Pusha, says that he is still affiliated with G.O.O.D. Music and this will be his last album on Def Jam.

Despite what people are trying to say, even though King Push has left the label, it’s all over at G.O.O.D. Music.

KiDD LUCIDD And Her Music Are A Different Look At The Houston Scene

Growing up, the only thing Houston artist KiDD LUCIDD can remember is music. If she wasn’t learning a new song on the piano or pretending, she knew how to play guitar until she actually did, KiDD LUCIDD was diving headfirst into the discographies of a plethora of artists that she now refers to as her inspirations. Now, KiDD LUCIDD is working to join the ranks of the artists who once inspired her. Through everything she has overcome in the past few years, she is in a prime position to take the music industry by storm. 

Accompanying her gift and penchant for music, KiDD LUCIDD was also writing poetry at a very early age. She wasn’t sure where her life was headed but was certain she needed to get away from everything going on in her life. So, when a recruiter approached her about joining the military, she got packed and shipped off to basic training. While it was tough, KiDD LUCIDD felt that Houston was a place she needed to run from at the time. Things only got harder for the aspiring musician, and the stress of everything going on in her life and the lack of support from her family pushed KiDD LUCIDD to attempt suicide in 2019. 

KiDD LUCIDD said people often wonder how she’s still here after everything she’s been through. “My answer will change every day because every day you wake, there’s something different about the last, something else you have to do before your times up.”

Since her attempt, KiDD LUCIDD has buckled down and has dived headfirst into her own music, hoping to share her gift with the world. “I’ve been an outcast my whole life, and more than anything, I know how it feels to keep giving love to people over and over again because you feel as if people will do you right if you do it too, but they won’t,” she says of the energy she puts into her music. KiDD LUCIDD crafts her music to be a beacon of hope for people who feel the same way she does. With a big year approaching for her career, KiDD LUCIDD says she is prepping the release of a few tracks for this summer. “My music is evolving, but I’m definitely putting in the work to bring all there is to a song.”Keep up with Houston’s KiDD LUCIDD by following her on Instagram, @kiddlucidd.

Ella Mai Talks Recording Her Sophomore Album

It has been three years since British singer Ella Mai released her self-titled debut studio LP. Ella Mai eventually received 2x-Platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America.

The 27-year-old London native is back this week with the new single “DFMU” which was produced by Mustard and J. Holt. Apple Music 1’s Zane Lowe spoke to Ella Mai about her song for New Music Daily.

“This song in this process was very, very hard for me because it was like my life in real time. So it was almost a therapy session when I was in the [recording] session,” admitted Ella Mai. “But I think that’s the best way. All the people that I grew up listening to are always very, very honest. And I’ve always just appreciated honesty.”

Ella Mai’s “DFMU” followed 2020’s “Not Another Love Song.” Some fans were expecting that Gold-certified loosie will lead to a new full-length project, but Mai still has not dropped her second LP. The Interscope recording artist also spoke to Zane Lowe about her unreleased sophomore album.

“I think, and especially with this difference to the debut album process. Sorry. Like I said, I was naive. So I was just going in the studio and doing whatever and writing with a bunch of people,” said Ella Mai. “And I wasn’t really thinking about it. But this time around, I’m obviously a lot more experienced. So I think you just can’t even help but to think about it, which then makes everything a lot more difficult.”

She continued, “But I also work with a lot of people that feel like are family too. So it just is. There’s a balance. There are some days that are horrible, going to the studio and nothing happens, but they feel horrible at the time. But you have to have those moments in order to have great [music].

Ella Mai became an international sensation in 2018 with the Mustard-produced “Boo’d Up.” The track went on to peak at #5 on the Hot 100 chart, earn 7x-Platinum status from the RIAA, and win a Grammy Award for Best R&B Song at the 2019 ceremony.

Lauren Smith-Fields’s Family Credits Cardi B For Criminal Investigation Into Her Death

Connecticut social media influencer Lauren Smith-Fields was found dead last month in her Bridgeport apartment. The 23-year-old, African-American woman reportedly died following a date set up on the Bumble app.

A white man named Matthew LaFountain, 37, called 911 on December 12 after he reportedly discovered Lauren Smith-Fields unresponsive with a nosebleed. Medical examiners ruled her death as the result of an accidental drug overdose.

Lauren Smith-Fields’ mysterious passing became national news because many social media users highlighted the situation. The local law enforcement agency also faced significant scrutiny for how investigators handled the case.

In particular, Lauren Smith-Fields’ family claimed the Bridgeport police’s handling of the probe was “racially insensitive.” Her loved ones also questioned why officers allegedly did not recover critical evidence from the apartment until two weeks after she died.

On January 23, Hip Hop artist Cardi B tweeted about how the media was covering Lauren Smith-Fields and Matthew LaFountain. The Invasion of Privacy album creator’s first post included a screenshot of a Daily Mail headline.

“Naa this man [doesn’t] look old and it’s not old at all and yet the media made it seem like she was wit [an] old ass man lookin to trick on her. I’m disgusted on how they spin the narrative [especially] because I see people saying online ‘that’s [what] she gets,'” wrote Cardi B.

That same evening, the “Bodak Yellow” performer added, “This is sooo scary!!! A fictional murderer character but in real life!! Justice for Lauren. Connecticut you have failed that young lady!!!”

Apparently, those tweets by Cardi B caused the Bridgeport Police Department to take Lauren Smith-Fields’ death more seriously. Smith Fields’ family attorney, Darnell Crosland, credited the Bronx-bred musician for drawing attention to the case.

TMZ reports:

The family’s attorney says Cardi B’s Sunday night tweet calling for “Justice for Lauren” — and accusing Connecticut of failing her — brought extra attention and made a big impact … because there’s been a ton of progress ever since. Cardi’s got an open invitation to check in with the family, in Connecticut or virtually, for an update on the investigation’s progress… and we’re told Lauren’s fam is overjoyed CB used her platform to speak out on behalf of their loved one.

Cardi B also made headlines in recent weeks for pledging to cover the funeral costs for the victims of the Twin Parks North West Complex fire in the Bronx, New York. The 29-year-old Cardi Tries star also recently won a landmark liable lawsuit against YouTuber Tasha K that could lead to more legal consequences for content creators who purposely share disinformation about celebrities on their platforms.

Kanye West Rep Denies Skid Row Fashion Show Collaboration

There were reports that Kanye “Ye” West was working with Skid Row Fashion Week to produce a special runway show. However, someone connected to the rapper/designer is denying those rumors.

TMZ recently published an article claiming Skid Row Fashion Week founder David Sabastian met with Kanye West earlier this month. An alleged collaborative fashion line with Ye was supposedly dropping on February 22. 

“Ye has a deep and solution-oriented commitment to addressing issues surrounding homelessness,” a Yeezy GAP spokesperson told Complex.

The Ye representative continued, “But this reported event is not on our schedule at this time nor are we aware of any product collaboration in development.”

In 2020, Kanye West announced a multi-year deal with Gap for a Yeezy collection. Last month, the 44-year-old entertainer united GAP with luxury fashion house Balenciaga.

While Ye is apparently not preparing to create homeless-influenced clothing, the Grammy winner is supposedly set to drop his Donda 2 album on February 22. Future is said to be executive producing the project.

Kanye West Announces “DONDA 2” Due February, Produced By Future

Kanye West has given his fans what they have been waiting for and announced “DONDA 2.”  

The multihyphenate took to Instagram to reveal the release date and artwork for the project. He also announced the album is executive produced by Future.  

“DONDA2 COMING 2 22 22 EXECUTIVE PRODUCED BY FUTURE,” he wrote in the caption. 

https://www.instagram.com/p/CZPbxWfJSRd/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

The album cover features a burning home and could refer to his listening event for “Donda” in Chicago. The event in August last year closed with his childhood home on fire. A Twitter user noted:  

“Kanye basically ended Donda with Come To Life with his home burning down. Donda 2 cover has the home continuing to burn down as he moves on from his past and enters a new life, a new beginning. He is reborn.” 

Kanye West also shared a post via his Instagram Stories revealing the significance of the date the album will drop. “According to the stars,” he wrote. “The United States is finally getting a spiritual makeover with its fest-ever Pluto Return on Feb 22, 2022. Astrologically, Pluto return is when the heavenly body returns to the same position in a birth chart where it was when the chart began.” 

Notably, Pluto is also the nickname of “DONDA 2” producer and the title of his debut studio album. However, an eagle-eyed Twitter user pointed out that February 22 is also the birthday of Kim Kardashian’s later father, Robert.

Will “DONDA 2” Arrive On Time?

However, many fans were concerned that the album would be delayed, as is often the way with Kanye West projects.

Kanye West X Future

Others also commented on the fact “DONDA 2” is produced by the poster boy for toxicity, Future.  

Meanwhile, TMZ reported on Wednesday (Jan. 26) that Kanye West would be collaborating with Skid Row Fashion Week for his next Yeezy commercial. However, according to a rep for the rapper, that’s just not true.  

“This reported event is not on our schedule at this time nor are we aware of any product collaboration in development,” a Yeezy Gap spokesperson said in a statement to The New York Post

Drakeo The Ruler Killed In “Modern-Day Lynching” Says Attorney Ahead Of Lawsuit

The music industry suffered a loss after the tragic murder of Drakeo the Ruler, who was brutally stabbed to death at a concert in Los Angeles.  

Rolling Stone spoke to the mother of the rapper’s five-year-old son, who is planning to sue the event promoters. Drakeo the Ruler died following his performance at the Once Upon A Time in L.A. festival in December last year.  

Tianna Purtue said she is filing a wrongful death lawsuit against the festival’s organizers, Live Nation, on Monday (Jan. 31). Indie promoters C3 Presents, Bobby Dee Presents, and Jeffrey Shuman will also be named in the lawsuit. The family’s lawyers say they will be seeking at least $20 million in damages.  

Purtue said her legal team played a recording during a press conference on Thursday (Jan. 27) which reportedly shows the backstage attack on Drakeo the Ruler. She has also heard reports of an earlier attack on the rapper minutes before the fatal stabbing.  

Drakeo The Ruler Was “Targeted” Says Attorney

“It just makes no sense,” Purtue told Rolling Stone. “There was no security in sight. No one was there to help until the absolute last moment where he’s fighting for his life. That’s when EMT comes around.” 

She continued, “Where was security? Where were they? Where was their post?” She questioned the absence of backstage security and said “He’s supposed to be protected as an artist. He’s coming to do a show for his fans, and he’s not even protected. It just doesn’t make sense.” 

James Bryant, Purtue’s lawyer, claimed the video shows Drakeo ambushed by at least 40 people. Furthermore, he only had a small entourage with him, and there was no security around. Furthermore, “the fence that separates the public from the artists was opened like it was a wide-open door. They were opening it and closing it like it was a door,” he said.  

Bryant said that though Drakeo the Ruler was not a gang member, the concert was held in an area with deep ties to gangs, South Los Angeles. However, he said as Drakeo was at one time acquitted of the murder of an Inglewood Family Blood, concert promoters should have taken the location into consideration.  

“I looked at that video, and I saw a sea of red. I don’t know if it was specifically gang-related, but I can tell you that all of those people attacking him were dressed in red, and that to me signifies that they were probably Bloods,” Bryant said. “If you look at the video, 40 to 60 people attacked this man who basically had no one there to help him. It was truly a modern-day lynching. They targeted him, knew what they wanted, and achieved their goal.” 

Benny The Butcher And J. Cole Body The Alchemist-Produced “Johnny P’s Caddy”

An unholy alliance has formed.

Benny The Butcher and J. Cole have joined forces on a new banger called “Johnny P’s Caddy.” It is not immediately known what that means, but what is immediately known is that his is an incredible collaboration. The song seems to be from the looming Tana Talk 4 project on the way.

Lets just get this out the way: J. Cole spits like a man possessed. He literally chides the Son. “I’m probably gonna go to hell if Jesus ask me for a feature,” the rapper says as he also ushers in his birthday (Jan. 28.) Benny is no slouch on the song and waxes poetically about escaping the trap, but still securing the bag.

Check out the song and put it on repeat. There’s quite a lot to appreciate on this Alchemist-produced track.

Nicki Minaj Accused Of Provoking Kenneth Petty To Attack Security Guard

Nicki Minaj and her husband Kenneth Petty are facing further legal woes. The couple are being sued by a former security guard who says a blow from Petty left him with five plates in his face. 

TMZ has the details of a lawsuit filed by Thomas Weidenmuller. He is the former head of security at a German concert where Nicki was performing. An incident occurred where a fan ran on stage during her setback in March 2019. According to Weidenmuller, Nicki Minaj blamed a female security guard and began yelling at her. During the tirade, Nicki allegedly called her “a f###### b####.” Furthermore, he says he recorded the outburst. 

Weidenmuller spoke to Nicki about the incident after the security guard was left in tears. He claims the rapper then turned on him, screaming, “Who do you think you are?” According to the lawsuit, the security guard claims Nicki Minaj also threw a shoe at him, though it missed him. 

Nicki Minaj Allegedly Provoked The Attack

He claims his injuries were caused by Kenneth Petty when he was called back to Nicki’s dressing room later that day. Weidenmuller alleges that while Nicki laid into him a second time, Petty blindsided him and punched him in the face, breaking his jaw. 

TMZ reached out to the couple for comment, but they have yet to respond at the time of going to press.  

Weidenmuller claims Nicki provoked the attack and is suing both her and Kenneth Petty for damages. He claims to have had 8 operations to fix his jaw, leaving him with five plates in his face. He is also suing for medical bills and says he needs a further six surgeries to fix his jaw.  

Meanwhile, Jennifer Hough, who is also suing the couple – but to the tune of $20 million, is going through her own struggles. AllHipHop reported yesterday (Jan. 27) that a lawyer on her team was terminated due to a disagreement in her legal team over strategy.  

Rising Rapper Jacari is Taking Over The Music Industry

A few years after releasing his debut single, Jacari has taken over the music industry and is attracting attention in the US and beyond. He has shared a stage with notable artists, among them are The Migos, where he opened for them on tour, and Blink 182.

Jacari’s most recent album “Hate” has also gone on to receive thousands of streams across the various platforms. At just 23 years of age, his incredible talent, diversity as an artist, and impeccable sound have enabled Jacari to cement his place in the fiercely competitive music industry.

He says that his goal is to produce good and impactful content, a decision that has helped him grow his fan base as they can relate to his music. Jacari has written and composed various tracks, including “Falling Apart,” “Forever,” “Sorry,” “Light,” and others.

He found refuge in music, and Jacari aims to inspire and encourage others through his songs. He is sharing his story with the rest of the world, addressing some of the most common issues in society.

Music is the only language that transcends all distances, says Jacari. He adds that while we may have differences, music brings us together and is the perfect art form to spread love and positivity. According to Jacari, one of the main reasons he started his journey in the music industry was because he wanted to help others. He is using his passion to create everyday music.

He says that although it has not been easy, he is grateful that by telling his story, he is encouraging others. Before his rise to stardom, Jacari had lost all his music. He had saved it in his email and had no other backup, which meant he had to start over. Even so, Jacari didn’t give up. He started afresh, and through hard work, determination, and resilience, he rewrote all his songs. 

Challenges are inevitable in life, and not everything works as you had expected, says Jacari. However, that should never stop you from chasing your dreams. Speaking about how COVID-19 has affected his music journey, he says that, like every other artist, he has had losses, especially with the cancellation of events. But he hasn’t let that get in his way. Rather than focusing on the negatives, Jacari chooses to see the brighter side. He has used this period to create more music.

The experience that he has gained has allowed him to perfect his skills and meet high-ranking people in the industry. Jacari has been in the studio with Blink 182, getting the opportunity to learn from him and experience a different style of music. The solid network he has built over the years is also helping him in his career. He is attending and performing in various events.

Jacari’s career in the music industry is just getting started. Looking into the future, the up-and-coming rapper says he has so many projects in store for his fans. He is planning a global tour, and he says his dream is to one day perform in Australia. “I love the energy & vibe there. I visited it before for a festival; it was honestly the best I had experienced,” says Jacari.

Making His Debut: Upcoming Swedish Artist Robin Kadir is Headed to LA

It’s hard to pick a single highlight from Robin Kadir’s 3 ½ years professional career; from playing at Boston Calling to making hits in Dubai, the young Swedish artist is quickly making a name for himself as a producer, DJ, and creative visionary. 

Touring as a DJ since 2018, Kadir has more than a little experience working with a crowd. He’s currently a resident at Spy Bar, Stockholm’s most exclusive nightclub, which is where he can be found when he isn’t touring the country or flying to another one. 

Kadir thrives on an active lifestyle… one which he was forced to adapt when the pandemic hit. With live shows out of the picture, Kadir booked himself a flight to Dubai where he spent several months focusing on his music production. It was there he collaborated with Swedish rappers JireelMacky, and A36 to create Sanka, a single which has since gone on to sell gold in Sweden and do millions of streams.

It wasn’t the first time the world heard Kadir produce – back in 2019 he dropped his debut single Corazón to the reception of 2 million streams. But with only 4 singles released to date, it’s safe to say Kadir has a lot more to unveil. Working on his debut album, Kadir is excited to fully flesh out his sound like an international hip-hop lover. 

What Kadir does – both on and off the stage – isn’t just a matter of sticking to trends. Back in 2018, he directed, shot, and edited music videos for fellow Swedish artist Felix Sandman that went on to win the Best New Talent Music Video award at the Clubbing TV Awards in France. Kadir has both an eye and ear for creative production, as well as a vision that stands on its own.

Never one to take his foot off the gas, Kadir is maintaining his momentum with big plans for both music and travel. Moving to LA in less than two short weeks, the young artist plans to work with English-speaking artists for his debut album, slated for release later this year. And with his management already booking him shows in the post-lockdown USA, it’s time for this young man to go global.

Chris Brown Allegedly Drugged & Raped Woman, Sued for $20 Million

Chris Brown is accused of drugging and raping a woman on a yacht moored at Diddy’s mansion on Dec. 30, 2020. 

TMZ reports a lawsuit filed by a Jane Doe claims she was drugged and then raped by Chris Brown after he asked her to come and see him. 

The woman, who says she’s a professional choreographer, dancer, model, and musical artist said a chance encounter led to the alleged assault. She was on a facetime call with a friend who happened to be with the singer. Chris Brown took the phone from her friend and asked her to come to Diddy’s Star Island home.  

Chris Brown Handed Jane Doe Two Drinks

According to TMZ after she arrived, Chris escorted her to the yacht’s kitchen, where he offered her a drink. The lawsuit states he mixed her a drink and gave it to her in a red cup, and the pair began talking. However, once she took a second drink, she claims she began to feel “a sudden, unexplained change in consciousness.” 

Jane Doe also claims she felt “disoriented, physically unstable, and started to fall in and out of sleep.” It was at this point, she alleged Chris took her into a bedroom. She described her condition as “drugged” and “half-asleep.” 

From there, she claims Chris Brown closed the door once they entered the bedroom, preventing her from leaving. He then removed her bikini bottoms and began kissing her. Despite her mumbling for him to stop, she claims he continued and ultimately raped her, e########## inside her. He then got up and said he was “done.” 

She alleges Chris contacted her the following day, demanding she take a Plan B, which she did.  

She claims the alleged rape has caused her to suffer severe emotional distress and is seeking $20 million in damages.
