He had been going at X for months, unable to deal with the “Montero” rappers’ openness regarding his sexuality. Boosie was vilified widely after his last round of remarks, now Azealia Banks has made her views known, and she did not hold back.
Now, in a series of posts, she calls out both Boosie and Dave Chappelle, branding them “highkey embarrassing.”
“Dave chappelle is also about four years late to the transphobia outrage attention grab. And Lil boosie gets no extra streets cred for antagonizing a young black kid for who he chooses to love,” wrote Banks on her Instagram Stories. “Lil nas x is not the catalyst for the generational debris left behind from centuries of psychological terrorism and the sexual exploitation of black men AND women on southern plantations via forced slave breeding/buckbreaking/bed wenching.”

Lil Nas X Is Not Responsible For Your State Of Mind
She continued adding that Lil Nas X didn’t invent “systemic oppression thru food apartheid, anti-literacy laws and the for profit prison industrial complex.” She added X is not responsible for those who continue to value those trappings and wear their “trauma & oppression as a badge of honor.”
“The fact that you have the confidence to publicly suggest he kill himself for living a life free of all the things that have completely obliterated your ability to see yourself as anything other than a ward of the state is absolutely heartbreaking.”
Then Azealia added that those with that mentality are “on your way to becoming a felon.”
She continued: “There’s a lot of corporate money invested in clandestinely and insidiously putting yoou and other black men n situations to trap you. It’s the hip-hop to prison pipeline. This is how they make their money. And keep you out of power.”
She added her belief that Chappelle is “more than obviously attracted to transwomen. And that is okay!” She ended with “Life is short, explore!”
Azealia Banks calls out Dave Chappelle for transphobic & homophobic special and Boosie for homophobic rant against Lil Nas X.
“The violent rhetoric surrounding Lil Nas X is very very concerning… As far as Chappelle goes… you are more than obviously attracted to transwomen.” pic.twitter.com/V2r0jD2s3C
Florida-based hip hop artist Rojah Larue entered 2021 with a bang on his track ‘Miss Me.’ The artist has found success independently, amassing hundreds of thousands of streams on his music online.
On ‘Miss Me,’ Larue delivers a heartfelt message about cutting someone off that he cared deeply about. The artist explains that some relationships aren’t worth the peace of mind they might be taking away.
The artist offers up a fast-flowing melodic performance, carefully utilizing auto-tune throughout the track. The song is based on a guitar and keys, adding soothing elements to the overall vibe of the track.
One of the three drug dealers accused of selling counterfeit oxycodone Mac Miller pills laced with fentanyl agreed to plead guilty.
TMZ reports at the hearing on Monday (Oct. 25), Steven Miller agreed to plead guilty to federal charges of distribution of fentanyl. In exchange, an additional charge of conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance was dropped.
Walter still faces up to 20 years in federal prison. Additionally, he could be subject to a lifetime of supervised release and a fine of $1 million “All parties agree that this is a just and fair disposition of the case,” Walter’s lawyer said in a statement. The prosecution recommends a sentence of 17 years in prison and 5 years supervised release.
Prosecutors highlight the fact that Walter’s guilty plea means knew he was selling Mac Miller counterfeit oxycodone pills laced with fentanyl. Furthermore, Walter was on supervised release for his involvement in a prior drug case when he sold Mac the pills.
According to the plea agreement, filed in federal court in the Central District of California, Walter “knowingly and intentionally directed Ryan Michael Reavis to distribute fentanyl in the form of counterfeit oxycodone pills, to Cameron James Pettit” on September 4th, 2018. Reavis was the runner and Walter, the dealer who went on to deliver the pills to Mac Miller.
Miller died three days later in September 2018. The toxicology results revealed Mac had fentanyl, cocaine, and alcohol in his system. He was only 26 years old at the time of his death.
Mac’s music still lives on through his fans. His 2014 Faces mixtape was released to streaming platforms for the first time in September. It debuted at No. 3 on Top Album Sales. The vinyl was released on October 15 and has broken records.
‘Faces’ mixtape debuts at #1 on this week’s Vinyl Albums chart with the biggest sales week for a rap album in Nielsen history (32K).”

Jeezy and Jay-Z have had a longstanding relationship. During an appearance on TV One’s “Uncensored” The Snowman revealed some of the history between the pair, including an incident where hands got thrown.
“Me and Hov, mentally we was connected because even if we wasn’t doing music we would rock with each other in a sense because we both had old souls and we both came from the same struggle,” Jeezy explained. “But the only thing is, his struggle started before mine and he started walking his path before me. So, I have to look at somebody like that how I would look at somebody in the hood who was already getting money before I was.”
Jeezy revealed he wondered how Jay was able to keep progressing in business and stay out of the streets. “The craziest thing, me and Hov don’t even talk about music,” he shared. “It’s like, rare. It’s one of them one-off things.”
He recalled an incident when his team got locked up while they were on tour. “I ain’t have no stage manager, I ain’t have no manager, no nothing. Just me,” Jeezy reminisced. He went on to say Hov had done that a few times, even in serious situations where indictments were handed down and his record label “turned they back on” him.
“Hov’s Got Hands”
He Continued. “They wouldn’t pick up my calls, they wasn’t trying to hear what I was saying. Hov called me,” said Jeezy. “A lot of people don’t know, we done been in some fistfights and everything. Some things popped off in Vegas… I gotta say, Hov’s got hands, ’cause we was getting down. We was back to back. I hear his assistant say, ‘Jay, get in the car!’ and he was like ‘I ain’t leaving Jeezy!’ I was like, I rock with him.”
He sums up their relationship by saying, “For me, I just respect somebody who has enough respect for themselves not to lose their integrity to please people.”

Based out of New Jersey, independent artist Jeremiah GvG has been popping off in the music industry starting in 2018 with his unique sound. After the passing of his older brother who was a musical artist as well, he felt inspired to start creating his own music in honor of his brother and to show the world that no matter what happens in your life to keep moving forward and to hold God close. While achieving many things throughout his life, one of his greatest is creating a new and unique sound while establishing a strong social media presence and cultivating a team around him.
When asked about who inspires him musically, he states Travis Scott, Juice WRLD, Kid Cudi, Kanye West, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, and Tame Impala. Although if there were one musical artist, he would collaborate with it would be Travis Scott.
Struggling with his own mental health issues as well, it’s extremely important for Jeremiah GvG that his audience feels relieved that someone out there feels their struggles and to make people understand that God is always on their side. His latest single “DOING GOOD” produced by LilRebahh, is one of our favorite tracks so far. Jeremiah GvG is also dropping a “DOING GOOD” music video as well as another single called “Work” in the next few months.
U.S. politicians from Prince’s home state of Minnesota intend to recognize the late superstar with a posthumous Congressional Gold Medal.
Senator Amy Klobuchar and Minnesota state representative Ilhan Omar introduced a resolution to the U.S. Congress on Monday (October 25th) to award the state’s most famous musician one of the nation’s highest civilian honors.
According to The Associated Press, the resolution cited Prince’s “indelible mark on Minnesota and American culture.”
The prestigious honor was previously bestowed on such historical figures as first U.S. President George Washington, American aviation pioneers the Wright Brothers, Civil Rights icon Rosa Parks, Mother Teresa, and the Dalai Lama.
“The world is a whole lot cooler because Prince was in it – he touched our hearts, opened our minds, and made us want to dance. With this legislation, we honor his memory and contributions as a composer, performer, and music innovator.”
“Prince is a Minnesota icon,” said Omar in a statement. “He showed that it was OK to be a short, Black kid from Minneapolis and still change the world. He not only changed the arc of music history; he put Minneapolis on the map.”
The legislation notes that Prince is “widely regarded as one of the greatest musicians of his generation,” with seven Grammy Awards, six American Music Awards, an Oscar for the score to his 1984 film “Purple Rain” and a Golden Globe.
The “Little Red Corvette” superstar was inducted into the American Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2004, one of the many honors he received in his lifetime.
If the gold medal is approved and made, the bill requests it be given to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., where it would likely be put on display to the public.

Who says that YouTube is the end all be all for new artists? At least not indie rapper Bryson Gray, whose song “Let’s Go Brandon” was banned from the video-sharing platform recently.
Now, the hit song is resting comfortably at the top of the iTunes Hip-Hop charts according to the artist.
If the song is so great why was it banned? That’s a great question.
“Let’s Go Brandon” was banned because it went against YouTube’s policy about spreading “medical misinformation.” In a Twitter post, the artist shared a screenshot of the message his channel received about the song.
He tweeted, “YouTube has banned the “Let’s Go Brandon” song from YouTube due to “medical information”. What medical misinformation is in the song? Whoa.”
The document said that “YouTube doesn’t allow claims about COVID-19 vaccinations that contradict expert consensus from local health authorities or the World Health Organization (WHO).”
Well, does that song have bad information in it?
Not really.
The term “Let’s Go Brandon” is a term birthed out of the very anti-vaxxer, patriot Trumpian fueled NASCAR community. At one event, the crowd was chanting “F### Joe Biden,” however the commentator did not hear the slur to President Biden. He said that the crowd was rooting for the race winner, Brandon Bilt.
Many believe that it has gone viral because the song inadvertently became their anthem against President Biden.
“While social media pushed various untrue hoaxes involving Donald Trump – even after they clearly were untrue – but they immediately censored and shut down ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ even though it’s currently #1 on Apple Itunes!” one user wrote.
While social media pushed various untrue hoaxes involving Donald Trump – even after they clearly were untrue – but they immediately censored and shut down 'Let's Go Brandon' even though it's currently #1 on Apple Itunes!
“Remember, ‘FDT’ (F### Donald Trump) by @YG was totally allowed on iTunes, YouTube, everywhere music is available. Millions of views — not a peep was said. But @RealBrysonGray‘s #1 TOP OF THE CHARTS “Let’s Go Brandon” is deplatformed, banned by @YouTube, etc. #TechCensorship,” another user fumed.

Despite the controversy, Bryson posted that when he woke up, he was beating out Drake, Kanye, NBA YoungBoy and others on iTunes.
He tweeted, “Good morning family! Still in Scottsdale, AZ. Performance was amazing. Our LGB song is still #1 in the US and #1 rap song in AUS and the UK on iTunes. Thank y’all so much. God is GOOD! No breakfast yet. How are y’all doing this AM?”
Rapper NBA YoungBoy scored a huge win today (October 26th): he was cleared for house arrest!
NBA YoungBoy will be released from the St. Martin Parish Correctional Center within the next 24 hours.
He will head straight to his house in Utah, where former soldiers will guard him, to ensure his safety. YoungBoy must also abide by the strict rules Judge Shelly Dick has laid out.
He is only allowed to have three visitors at his Utah property at any given time, and Judge Dick must approve those people. And, the rapper’s guests have to leave his house by 9:00 p.m. and cannot return until 7:00 a.m.
NBA YoungBoy’s string of legal problems started in September 2020. The rapper was one of 16 people arrested in Baton Rouge during a video shoot.
Investigators claimed those arrested are members of the violent gangs, Never Broke Again and Bottom Boy Gorilla. Numerous firearms were recovered.
NBA YoungBoy was not indicted on Federal gun charges until March of 2021. A grand jury decided there was enough evidence to charge him with possession of a firearm as a felon and for possession of a firearm that was not registered to his person in a national database.
According to The Advocate, a .45 pistol and ammunition were recovered from the vehicle, leading to more weapons charges the rap star must face. He will be arraigned on those charges in November.
Until then, NBA YoungBoy will reside in Utah. He is planning on building a recording studio and getting back to making music.
Nowadays more than ever, it seems the world has finally caught up to the height of what Afrobeats is and stands for.
Oxlade, who hails from Lagos and is here to spread that feel-good energy and positive vibrations from Africa to the rest of the world.
Serving as one of the new fresh faces in the pool of talented Nigerian recording artists, the singer, songwriter, and rapper has an unwavering love for music, and it bleeds through in each release.
In describing himself, Oxlades states, “I’m a Nigerian boy from Lagos. I’m an Afrobeats artist and I’ve been doing this music thing for 3 years professionally, but all my life because I started from the church. I didn’t know I could do music for the money, I was doing it for the love of it. When the time and opportunity came, I became Oxlade and the rest is history.”
Last year, Oxalde unleashed his global smash hit titled “Away,” which hails over 3.4 million views on Youtube alone.
The song will undoubtedly make you move and dance, even catching the attention of Drake who posted the record to his story. To keep on with the momentum, Oxlade most recently unleashed his newest single and visual for “Ojuju.”
AllHipHop: What does Afrobeats mean to you?
Oxlade: Afrobeats is beyond a genre for me, it’s a movement. It’s an identity, it’s part of being an African now. Everywhere you go to as an African, you put people on to new sounds. Our sounds are now crossing over, our songs are charting. More people need to know about it. It’s an identity and we’re trying to work more ethnic groups into it, to dig the Afrobeats sound.
AllHipHop: What was a young Oxlade like growing up in Lagos?
Oxlade: I grew up in the streets, so it was tougher than the normal, standard childhood. I lost my mom when I was 3, so I moved to my grandma’s. My grandma stays in the ghetto side of Lagos, it’s called Mushin. Anytime you come to Lagos and they take you to that side of Lagos, you gotta be careful because it’s the ghetto. Literally it was tough. I used to sell stuff for my grandma: water, soft drinks, and other stuff to survive. She raised me through primary and secondary school. When I was done with my secondary school, she sent me to my pops. It was survival, literally. Moving in with my pops, I started my university. I dropped out of my finals due to some reasons that got really complicated, then I decided to face music. Even since then, I’ve been doing music and the rest is history.
AllHipHop: Who were you listening to?
Oxlade: A lot of Afrobeats legends. A lot of Lauryn Hill, Michael Jackson, Bob Marley, Chronixx, then we have the Wizkid, Burna Boy, Davido. My biggest influence and the person that inspired me to go to the studio is named Wande Coal He’s a Nigerian artist I want you guys to check out. He’s a veteran, he’s been doing it for years. He inspired me and a lot of Nigerian kids to go through this type of music I be doing. I sing and my kind of music is from the soul, he’s one of the legends that paved the way for us with the R&B singing/Afrobeats artist.
AllHipHop: What do you hope to achieve in the United States?
Oxlade: Greatness man, there’s nothing stopping my music from crossing over. There’s nothing too big as a megahit song or a #1 hit record on the Billboard charts that’s an Afrobeat song. It’s not impossible anymore. You see some Afrobeat songs crossing over and doing the most. Anytime I go to any restaurant, studio, or anywhere I go, I hear Afrobeat songs and I feel proud to be Nigerian. I feel proud to come from where that sound comes from. That’s what I wish for, that’s what I’m working towards. I’m trying to collaborate and connect with people, connect with creatives. Make more music, bring different genres together with mine to create new world sounds.
AllHipHop: How did it feel to have Drake post “Away”?
Oxlade: It felt special. [laughs] He screenshotted the song on Apple Music and he posted it on his story. Ever since then, it’s been really crazy for me.
AllHipHop: How many followers did you get from that?
Oxlade: I had 3 million streams the next day. [laughs] Extra, that’s the Drake effect man. Everybody needs the Drake effect.
AllHipHop: Have you talked to him?
Oxlade: I obviously hit him up, I thanked him and everything. Hopefully, we got something. Hopefully, I’m optimistic.
AllHipHop: Did you make a record specifically for him?
Oxlade: Obviously, it’s a couple of songs that he’s got.
AllHipHop: How does it feel to get a million views in one week on “Ojuju”?
Oxlade: If the song’s good, you’re going to get those types of numbers. It felt great and now it’s at 1.5 million so you understand how organic it is. It keeps going crazy. I just dropped the “Pay Me” visualizer. “Pay Me” is one of the songs on the project where “Ojuju” is. The name of the project is Eclipse, it’s doing amazingly well. You can check it out, it’s a 4 track project. It’s Troniq featuring myself, Troniq is my management. We’re joining together to create a project. It has “Ojuju,” “More,” “Pay Me” and “Incomplete.” You can check it out on all platforms too.
AllHipHop: How was it collaborating with Fireboy DML on “Sing”?
Oxlade: Fireboy is my homie, we started making music together. “Sing” was one of those songs we had to put out. I’ve known him for 5 years now and we found ourselves around the same circle. You see Fireboy, Joeboy, lots of Afrobeat artists we started together. It’s a circle, a movement.
AllHipHop: Anything else you want to let the people know?
Oxlade: Stream Eclipse, and I got more music coming out. They can follow me on all platforms: @oxladeofficial.
Nicki ultimately lawyered up and hired an attorney named Judd Burstein, who successfully had the default judgment set aside – for now.
Earlier this week, Kenneth Petty hired the law offices of Stephen D. Isser to defend him against Hough’s allegations.
Hough claims Nicki and Kenneth have been terrorizing her for years. She insists they have been trying to bribe her into recanting the rape allegations Petty was convicted of in 1995.
Kenneth’s lawyer is asking Judge Eric Vitaliano to vacate the certificate of default entered against his client, in addition to some extra time to respond to Hough’s complaint.
Nicki Minaj also told Judge Vitaliano that a process server never formally served her and her husband with the lawsuit – a claim that could come back to haunt both of them if it is proven to be untrue.
Kenneth Petty is facing prison time for failing to register as a sex offender in California after moving to the state to be with Nicki.
He pleaded guilty to failing to register as a sex offender, and he will learn his fate in January of 2022 when he is sentenced.
According to emails obtained by AllHipHop.com, Jennifer Hough’s lawyer is disputing the claim that the couple was not served and accused them of lying to Judge Vitaliano.
In a series of nasty emails sent between the lawyers, Hough’s attorney Steven Gordon threatened to accuse the couple of perjury, which could impact Kenneth’s sentencing on January 24th, 2022.
Gordon is asking Judge Vitaliano for a Traverse Hearing where Judge Vitaliano would determine whether or not Nicki and her husband were served correctly.
“The proof of service was submitted for both Mr. Petty and your client, in which the process server swore under penalty of perjury that he served Mr. Petty,” Gordon wrote to Nicki’s lawyer Judd Burstein.
Gordon took issue with Burstein and Nicki Minaj’s claims that they were not home when the lawsuit was served, while Hough’s lawyers maintain that Kenneth Petty was the man served with the lawsuit.
“We will also call our process server to the stand and submit additional documentary evidence that service was proper…we will also immediately advise the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of your client’s and Mr. Petty’s perjury. I’m sure that will assist him during his January 2022 sentencing hearing for failing to register as a sex offender,” Steven Gordon threatened.
Judge Vitaliano has yet to rule on any of the motions.
However, today (October 26th), Judge Vitaliano set forth a schedule, and all parties must submit their formal replies on or before November 22nd, 2021.
Chicago native Chance the Rapper has purchased a home for him and his ever-expanding family. The 28-year-old has just copped a beautiful mansion in the north suburban neighborhood Bannockburn for $2.3 million.
His wife, Kirsten, and his two daughters Kensli and Marlie Grace will be moving into their new home, bringing some swag to the conservative area.
The house is perfect for them. It is five bedrooms and covers over 9,251-square-foot.
While you might be in awe of his new place, it is 1/3 less than what he paid for his previous home. He paid $3.7 million in 2018 for a condo that had only three bedrooms and was 4,500-square-foot.
Chance the Rapper and Kirsten Corley
The house was built in 1996 and sits on 3.71 acres. Reports list other amenities that the home has, stating that it has “6½ bathrooms, six fireplaces, a great room with authentic Iowa barn beams and a kitchen that has a large center island, a marble baker’s counter, granite countertops, a Thermador range, two Thermador ovens, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, two sinks, and two Miele dishwashers.”
The coolest thing is how he found out about the new place. His mom put him on to it.
According to the Chicago Tribune Lisa Thompson-Bennett, the “Family Matters” artist’s mother, presented the deal in her capacity as a real estate agent. She works for Crown Heights Realty. She actually did the deal for his last residence.
One of the upcoming dates for the “Move the Crowd” tour featuring Rakim, KRS-1, and Slick Rick has recently been canceled by the promoter. After receiving pushback from the fans, he revealed that he shut the show down because the venue requires people to be vaccinated to enter.
According to Metro Times, he contends that the Hip-Hop “demographic aren’t vaccinated.”
Detroit’s Masonic Temple, the venue where the show was supposed to happen at, has a strict vaccination mandate enacted to help curb the spread of the deadly coronavirus, a disease that paralyzed the entire world in 2020.
AEG Presents, the company that runs the venue, posted its new vaccination policy over the summer. Without discrimination, the venue has to require proof of vaccination for guests, staff, and talent. The century-old venue is beautiful.
Jay Marciano, the COO of AEG and chairman and CEO of AEG Presents says, “We have come to the conclusion that, as a market leader, it was up to us to take a real stand on vaccination status.”
The concert promoter Derrick Kearney of 2D Productions & Entertainment says that despite the Nov. 7th date being pushed back, he is working to find a different location to accommodate the large number of fans that want to see these kings of rap music, but don’t want to get stuck with the needle.
“We’ve received 100’s and 100’s of texts, voicemail’s and comments on social media about the Masonic temple’s vaccination mandate,” Kearney said in a statement. “We have also found out that the majority of concert-goers in that HipHop (sic) demographic aren’t vaccinated. So the vaccination mandate with the Masonic Temple is the reason.”
A native of both Miami and Brooklyn, Lady Keyz has been a mainstay on the music scene since her arrival, amassing an evergrowing Caribbean fan base with her raw vocals and brazen beats.
After finding her footing in a unique space that exists between Hip Hop, House, Dancehall, and Soul, it is no surprise that her star continues to rise with each impactful release.
Since debuting in 2019, Lady Keyz has remained consistent with a steady stream of visuals much to the joy of her audience. Each release packs a punch that catapults her into a different stratosphere and this one is no different.
Now as 2021 comes to a close, Lady Keyz returns with her brand new music video for “Queen of My City.”
Directed by Panoramic Films, the clip finds Lady Keyz in her element as she rides through the city in a foreign, all while boastfully staking her claim to the throne.
The single appears on her recently released EP titled ‘The Journey,’ which is currently available on all streaming platforms. Check out the video below, and be sure to stream the project in its entirety on the platform of your choice.
Kangol Crew. Nightmares. Delancey Street. Artist. Hip-Hop Legend, He’s Dana Dane and we welcome him to “AllHipHop.com presents The Library with Tim Einenkel.”
Tim sits down with one of Hip-Hop’s great storytellers, Dana Dane. The Kangol Crew member talks about the origins of the group, performing live shows from the basement of the High School of Music & Art and what drew him to Hip-Hop culture.
The Brooklyn, NY artist discusses his friendship with Slick Rick (which started in High School), their impacts on each other, rhyming with an English accent, learning from the legendary producer Hurby Luv Bug, first meeting Kwame and helping him chose his name, his own solo work, his newest track “Nightmares Again” and so much more.
“Perfect in every way. God made you for me,” he wrote to Ciara. “He made you to fit perfectly in my arms. Made you to be the amazing woman and mother you are. God made you to entertain the world with your gift to sing & dance! He gifted you with the ability to Tilt the room.. when you walk in ALL the furniture slides towards you. He gifted you with the ability to smile and bring joy to ALL things! Gifted you with the ability to LOVE. Happy Birthday my Queen @Ciara Heaven sent!”
Ciara, in response, wrote that her husband was her “everything” and that she was a better woman because of him.
And while there was no shortage of fans who gushed over Wilson’s sweet words to his wife, there were also — as per usual — Future stans who littered the comment section with proof that their fathers didn’t love them, that they resent their mothers for not tolerating the nonsense, and that Ciara should have just tolerated Future’s cheating (and subsequent impregnation of several women) because he wrote “Mask Off.”
French Montana decided to self-own over a Squid Game joke.
For those who are unaware, Squid Game is a popular Netflix show that originated in South Korea, where players who are deep in debt sign up to participate in child-like games with the hopes that winning them would get them out of said debt.
And so, a popular meme on the Internet is to offer “players” a challenge with the premise being that the challenge was insurmountable, thus eliminating them from the “Squid Game.“
So, a random tweeter challenged their followers to name five French Montana songs that don’t have a feature on them.
And so, without a second thought, French Montana immediately jumped into the tweeter’s replies to rattle off the list of his songs that, he claimed, had no other features on them.

People are loving it. Even the female battle rap outlet OTFMZ posted it.
And so a few of battle rap’s golden pens (and voices) commented and are now following! What a way to get that clout up.
The video of the wildly accurate impersonations has caused a sensation on Twitter.
Battle rap legend Tsu Surf’s response was hilarious, especially as he’s on the card! “I should PURPOSELY USE THIS,” he joked.
