Drake turned 35 this weekend and celebrated the occasion with a star-studded Halloween party in Los Angeles.  The superstar rapper went full-cowboy for the bash wearing a costume that included a Stetson, fringed suede jacket, and cowboy boots with spurs!  

However, some of the other guests were a little more casual and opted out of the theme.  

According to TMZ, the Narcos-themed night was dubbed “Chico Amante” which translates to “Lover Boy,” a nod to Drake’s latest album “Certified Lover Boy.”

Drake’s One-Of-A-Kind Gift

While Drake isn’t short of a car or two, his insane luxury car collection is worth a reported $8 million. But for his 35th Birthday, he was gifted an automobile that meant so much more than money. Drake took to Instagram to share the full-circle moment with a video of the Rolls Royce Phantom he used to rent back in 2007 “to convince people in the city we were destined to make it.” 

https://www.instagram.com/p/CVbov3nl1eu/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Drake revealed in the caption how he “used to scrape together 5k a month somehow to keep up appearances. We whipped this to Ottawa to see @belly and @cashxo and to Montreal for my first show ever. I used to pick up @ovoniko and roll every day or wait outside @nebzilla class for her. Park outside 15 Fort York while me and @ovo40 and @oliverelkhatib would be upstairs cooking what would eventually become So Far Gone.”  

He explained that he didn’t hire the car to stunt but rather as a means of “extreme manifesting.” “Even though I don’t recommend putting yourself in financial trouble for material things I realize now that this was just my way of extreme manifesting,” he explained in the caption. “I needed to see it and feel it and have it to believe that I could see and feel and have anything I wanted. Today in 2021 my brother @futuretheprince tracked down the exact car I use to stress over and gifted it to me…it’s mine now. Manifestation complete.” 

He ended by thanking his fans for their love and appreciation. “More than just loved I feel truly appreciated and that is the only gift I ever needed”

In May of 2021, Snoop revealed his mother was fighting an unknown illness. Earlier this summer in July, the rapper asked for prayers as he stood beside his mom in the hospital.

Snoop was very close to his mother. Ms. Tate, 70, raised the rapper born Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., as a solo parent for much of his childhood.

She was also an ordained minister and a well-known community activist who created The Mothers of Entertainers (M.O.E.) in 2005.

Through her ministry, Ms. Tate mentored underprivileged children, abused women, and homeless people.

In February of 2017, Ms. Tate was honored with the key to the city during an event in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Daz Dillinger, Xzibit, Busta Rhymes, E-40, and others offered Snoop their condolences.

After 30 years of disrupting the status quo, Luther Campbell will be recognized for his charitable and philanthropic works in Liberty City.

A major landmark has been named after him, and it is not a strip club.

Mayor Francis Suarez and the City of Miami Parks and Recreation recently dedicated The Luther Campbell Football Field in his honor.

The city’s top politician said, “This community should know that they have something special. It’s very rare for celebrities or famous people to do what Luke has done, and that is giving his most precious asset, his time.”

Luther Campbell

For years, Uncle Luke has made a point to invest in the community with his resources and contacts, hoping to build a stronger community. He has done so for over three decades with his organization, the Liberty City Optimist Club.

“You have to be really, really small to not appreciate what was done today,” Commissioner Jeffrey Watson shared, blasting those who wanted to look at the explicit content of his music and not his community service.

Luke was all smiles.

He said, “I always said if I ever get two cents over my lunch money, I would come back and do something special in this community, at this very park I grew up playing in.”

“I brought in many of my friends to help bring all of this to fruition,” Luke said. “We started something fresh and new, and when I look at what we have done here, I am as proud as I have ever been.”

Rap mogul Master P will be taking care of business as his son Hercy Miller plays basketball for Tennessee State.

In March, Percy committed to TSU Tigers. His proud pop decided to relocate to Nashville, where he resides part-time.

“This is like my second home now. I just fell in love with the culture and the people,” Master P told BizJournals. “My son plays basketball for TSU: He’s an A student, majoring in business. I’m in and out and will be able to spend a lot more time here.”

Master P. will be making good use of his time in the city by expanding his restaurant franchise, Big Poppa Burgers.

The No Limit founder already operates two Big Poppa Burger locations in New Orleans and now he is looking to set up shop in Nashville.

“I’m looking for places to put that here and create over avenues of income in the real estate business here,” Master P revealed.

Once he is set up shop, Nashville residents will be able to enjoy menu items like the delicious “Make Em Say Ugh Burger,” the “Master Piece Burger,” smothered in Big Poppa Burgers’ secret sauce.

According to P., he wants to mentor local Nashville residents and encourage them to broaden the business community.

“Creating that diversity in the business world in Nashville and also bringing people together. The goal is to build generational wealth. The key is to get started,” the rap mogul said.

Master P. launched Big Poppa Burgers in 2019. A portion of the proceeds of the businesses goes back to the local communities where the brand operates.

“It’s about helping those kids. I made it out of the ghetto, I was able to change my life, and it’s all about education. I say knowledge is more important than money,” Master P told AllHipHop.com.

Casanova Associate Trap Smoke Takes Plea In RICO Case Against Untouchable Gorilla Stone Nation

By: Mike Winslow Updated Category: News

Another associative Casanova and member of the Untouchable Gorilla Stone Nation will be heading to prison.

Jamal “Trap Smoke” Austin was one of the 18 members of the gang to be charged in a sweeping RICO indictment in December of 2020.

Casanova, Trap Smoke, and 16 other Untouchable Gorilla Stone Nation members were charged with numerous crimes, from drug dealing and gun running to assaults and murder.

According to the Feds, Trap Smoke was a large-scale cocaine/crack dealer who peddled synthetic drugs like K2.

Prosecutors said Trap Smoke was a vital member of the gang because he supplied crack to the Westchester-based members of Gorilla Stone.

The Feds intercepted phone calls and text messages between Trap Smoke and Naya “Baby” Austin, who was pegged as the Godmother of Untouchable Gorilla Stone Nation.

In addition to discussing drugs, the pair were caught attempting to purchase guns as well.

The evidence against Trap Smoke was incriminating because he already has two prior convictions for illegal firearms possession. Trap Smoke is also currently on New York State parole for one of those firearms possession charges.

According to documents obtained by AllHipHop.com, Trap Smoke will enter a guilty plea on November 24th, 2020, at the courthouse in White Plains, New York.

Trap Smoke’s decision makes him the sixth Untouchable Gorilla Stone Nation member to take a plea deal.

Trap Smoke faces a minimum of 10 years in prison and possibly life when he is formally sentenced.

Rapper Casanova is being held in the Westchester County Jail on two counts: intentionally manufacturing, distributing, and dispensing crack cocaine, cocaine, and marijuana.

The Brooklyn rapper, born Caswell Senior, is also charged with possessing a firearm and furtherance of a drug trafficking crime.

Westside Gunn’s love for pro wrestling may have landed him in legal trouble.

The “WrestleMania 20” rapper is being threatened with a lawsuit for illegally sampling the voice of Greg Hamilton.

Hamilton, an announcer on WWE’s Smackdown franchise, fired off a series of threats at the Griselda rapper for using his voice on various projects.

In a pair of deleted posts on IG, Hamilton demanded cash from Westside Gunn, or he would face the powerful lawyers from the WWE.

“Well @westsidegunn @buffalokidsgallery let’s hope that since you STOLE my voice for your incoherent kindergarten fables….that you saved up enough delivering for Door Dash….because….You….are…. 🤬’d,” Greg Hamilton fumed.

“You’ll be paying me for years….apologize and I’ll think about not collecting every dime for the rest of your life,” Greg Hamilton threatened. “Or I can just get WWE lawyers… .that’s ok too. Settle with my lawyer. And don’t EVER use my voice again….so wrong.”

Greg Hamilton demanded an apology from Westside Gunn, who has yet to address the situation, which appears to be escalating.

“Tick… tock… the longer this goes, the longer I have in court… you ready to settle or do u wanna dance with WWE lawyers? It’s a slam dunk. Price goes up by the day,” he snapped.

Man Arrested For Stalking Kim Kardashian – Again

Being rich and famous has its perks, but there are also drawbacks, and no one knows this better than the Kardashians.

Over the years, the famous clan has dealt with numerous stalkers, and another obsessed fan is at it again.

The guy who sent Kim a diamond ring and some Plan B back in July is at it again.

According to reports, the cops swarmed Kim’s San Fernando Valley house last week after Nicholas Costanza was found on her property again.

The incident is disturbing because Costanza already has a restraining order against him, barring him from contacting Kim.

Thankfully, security guards around Kim’s home perimeter detected the man and immediately called the police.

Nicholas Costanza was arrested and booked for felony stalking since [a restraining order was already in place. He’s also facing some serious time because he popped up at her house in February and May.

During one of the prior incidents, Costanza even told her security guards he was there to pick him up to take her to dinner.

The judge believed he was a significant threat over his wild behavior, which included posting crazy messages on social media, as well as a phony marriage certificate.

In July, Costanza was ordered to stay at least 100 yards away from Kim and to stop contacting her. So, after the latest incident, a judge ordered Nicholas Costanza to be held on $150,000 bail.

Hip-Hop mogul Jay-Z has already told us that he is not just a “businessman,” but is a “business” man!

And now, he has made the ultimate boss move by investing in the next generation.

This fall, the artist behind the success of Tidal, Roc Nation, and Ace of Spades is throwing not just his weight but also his capital behind a young person who dreams of making it big in tech.

The young man’s name is Iddris Sandu, and he is a 24-year-old Ghana-America with his sights on being a major change agent and innovator.

Over the last 11 years, Sandu has collaborated with leading tech companies like Apple, Google, Facebook, and sports brands like Adidas and Nike to hone his love for entrepreneurship.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CUVp3i1hpbD/

Two years ago, in 2019, he became the recipient of the Thiel Fellowship, a two-year program founded by Silicon Valley veteran Peter Thiel, one of the earliest investors in Facebook, PayPal, and SpaceX.

Sandu founded halt LABS, an early sister entity to his company spatial Labs (sLABS).

spatial LABS (sLABS), a Venture Capital studio, will debut with LNQ, “a new blockchain-enabled platform changing the way artists mobilize and create new physical and digital media formats.

LNQ intends to make the metaverse more accessible and give creators decentralized tools to engage with their communities through LNQ.

How can such a young man accomplish all of this? He has Hov in his corner.

Jay-Z’s Marcy Venture Partners (MVP) is poised to invest in Sandu’s tech incubator in what is being called a multi-tiered partnership that is aimed to exhaust the intersection between tech, culture, and humanity.

The precursor of this relationship has already yielded fruit.

Sandy and Jay-Z have worked on several Augmented Reality partnerships with Beyoncé’s Ivy Park, Nipsey Hussle’s The Marathon Clothing Store, Rihanna’s Fenty line, and Kanye West’s Yeezy brand.

Jay-Z said, “Iddris has a conscious world view and a youth-centric vision that is innovative and refreshing to witness.”

“We share similar parallels in how we imagine impacting people in our lifetime,” Jay-Z added. “Partnering with him on this journey and others is very exciting.”

Can’t wait to see what brilliance is birthed out of this partnership.

Mike Tyson To Fight Logan Paul In Boxing Match, Reports Say!

Mike Tyson is back again and he is going for that big, big bag! The Champ will square off with YouTuber Logan Paul next February in another exhibition bout. Remember, Iron Mike Tyson fought Roy Jones, Jr. almost a year ago and it was a cool bout to see. We definitely wanted to see Evander Holyfield, but Evander dropped the bag. He went on to fight some dude and getting clobbered!

Tyson beat Roy Jones, but they were more than cool. They got the bag too! Anyway, shout out to Roy for getting in there.

Logan Paul was bested by Floyd Mayweather over the summer. At times, it looked like Money May carried the Paul Boy through the fight, but he walked away with this respect intact. A news show called DramaAlert reportedly made this call before anybody else.

“Logan Paul vs Mike Tyson, Feb 2022, sources tell DramaAlert,” he tweeted.

I will wait and see if this really manifests! I really hope Mike legit knocks bro out. I know Jake Paul and Mike Tyson are pretty cool. So, I am thinking this may be a fixed fight in addition to being a money grab. There is no shame in losing to Mike Tyson so he can keep on after that. They know a lot of people will pay to see the white, cocky non-boxing YouTuber get flattened by Mike.

Here is the fight:

DNA Test May Prove DMX Had 15th Child According To His Estate

By: Kershaw St. Jawnson Updated Category: News
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

Months after rapper DMX’s untimely death in April, his estate is checking the paternity of a woman claiming to be one of his heirs.

If DNA tests confirm a biological relationship between the two, this person will tally up as the former Def Jam emcee’s 15th child.

According to Page Six, her name is Raven Barmer-Simmons, and she has already reached out to several of The Dog’s adult children.

Feelings are torn as some in his family are flat out rejecting her claims to be that chart-topping artist’s child. Chief among the naysayers is his fiancée Desiree Lindstrom.

Reports state that Lindstrom has other issues to worry about. One of which is getting the courts to acknowledge her as his common-law wife and the administrator of his estate.

If that happens, she could have more say over disseminating his estate to her child and DMX’s 14 (possibly 15) other heirs.

According to TMZ, the estate is currently only worth an estimated $1 million, despite selling over 70 million albums, having a successful film career, and other ventures.

It is projected that his estate will drastically jump as streams and sales of his music were on the rise earlier this year.

The Honorable Helen Blackwood, the presiding judge overseeing the case, has appointed three of DMX’s children as temporary administrators over the estate.

Xavier, Tacoma, and Sean, all children from his first marriage to Tashera Simmons, are working together to figure out what’s best for their father’s legacy.

Perhaps, that includes Raven.

New Classic Hip-Hop Station Taking Over NYC Airwaves

By: Kershaw St. Jawnson Updated Category: News

New York City will be getting a new Hip-Hop radio station.

Gen X and Baby Boomers will be soooo happy because the format will be “Classic Hip-Hop” music!

Finally, terrestrial radio has remembered a population throughout the five boroughs who need to be entertained — thusly reformatting the city’s only country station WNSH/94.7 to the new brand, 94.7/The Block.

Radio giant Audacy, the company that purchased WNSH in 2019, released a statement to explain the new direction.

The company’s Senior Vice President, Chris Oliviero, said in a statement that 94.7/The Block will feature “songs and artists that are synonymous with New York’s iconic hip-hop culture and that still strongly resonate with listeners today across all generations.”

Oliviero further expressed that the station will “feature a wide collection of classic hip-hop hits and throwbacks, including favorites from Jay-Z, Fugees, Rihanna, Snoop Dogg, Beyoncé, LL Cool J, The Notorious B.I.G., Mary J. Blige and more.”

When asked why they chose Hip-Hop as the new lane for the new 94.7/ The Block, the President of JVC Broadcasting, John Caracciolo, said, “you don’t see line-dancing country places in the Bronx, in Queens, in Brooklyn.”

If country music fans want to listen to Kenny Rogers or Willie Nelson, they can go up toward the Long Island frequency and check out “My Country 96.1.” This station can only be heard in Suffolk County and not in King, Queens, New York, Richmond, or Bronx County.

You Good, Fam? Lil Nas X Trolls Boosie, Boosie Goes Nuclear — And It’s Not Cute At All

Lil Nas X trolled Boosie earlier today — and Boosie, in his typical unhinged fashion, went on a Twitter rampage.

TMZ is reporting that the “Montero” rapper — who seems to live to troll others — got on Instagram Live to claim he had a collaboration with the Louisiana native coming out soon.

And the response was way over the top, to say the least.

“The Louisiana rapper unloaded on LNX Saturday with an expletive-laden diatribe that’s shocking — calling Nas X the f-slur, among other things … while also telling the ‘Montero’ artist that he should kill himself,” reports TMZ.

Boosie 1
Boosie 2

To say that Boosie’s response was over-the-top would be the height of understatement. To say that his response was homophobic, horrific, and just plain disgusting would also be the height of understatement.

The only appropriate response to this would be what it has become: there’s absolutely no reason for any of this. It’s not cute. It’s not appropriate. And it’s nowhere near funny. All this proves is that Lil Nas X lives rent-free in Boosie’s head — to the point that he literally cannot go a day without tweeting about him.

Think about it: can you name a Boosie song off the top of your head? No, you probably can’t. You know why? Because he’s in the news more for his stupid behavior than he is for any music he’ll ever record. And that doesn’t look like it’s going to change anytime soon.

But this isn’t just “stupid behavior.” This is indicative of a severe, deep-seated issue. Someone please get Boosie some chamomile & a massage. Or psychotherapy. Or some Xanax. Something. He desperately needs it.

NBA YoungBoy Freedom Delayed Over Los Angeles Gun Charge

NBA YoungBoy, hip-hop news, brand new school

Rapper NBA YoungBoy will be getting out of jail soon.

A federal judge has granted the native Louisiana rapper a bail release. He will do his house arrest in a residence in Utah, serving out his sentence for his boot state weapons charges.

According to The Advocate Chief U.S. District Judge Shelly Dick changed his mind about keeping the chart-topper, whose real name is Kentrell Gaulden, incarcerated.

In April, after he was arrested, Judge Dick refused to offer bail because she believed the rapper was “inclined toward reckless, illegal, dangerous behavior” and would endanger the community around him.

Now Judge Dick is saying something different. The judge told the rapper’s team that they must post a $1.5 million property bond or put $500,000 cash into a trust account for him to be released.

His lawyers seem to be with it.

The rapper’s attorney, Andre Belanger, added that NBA YoungBoy would need to appear before a Los Angeles court next week before he can go to Utah.

The LA judge will review the felon in possession of a firearm charge he caught earlier this year.

Still, the representation is hopeful and thankful.

Belanger said, “We are grateful for Mr. Gaulden’s release and know he will abide by the bail conditions imposed by the court.”

“That’s been on his mind non-stop,” he added.

As reported by AllHipHop.com, NBA YoungBoy has been on lockdown since the Spring.

On March 22, federal agents brought him into custody after arresting him in California.

They sent him back to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where a grand jury indicted him two weeks earlier on possession of a firearm as a felon and for possession of a firearm that was not registered to his person in a national database.

Is Kid Capri Going At DJ Scratch In New Freestyle?

By: illseed Updated Category: Rumors

DJ Kid Capri.

DJ Scratch.

Two Greats.

DJ Kid Capri is a legend out here. DJ Scratch is a legend out here. Neither one really has a peer and they have their own lanes. I mean, if you were a DJ, you are definitely looking at the good standard with these two. If you don’t know, I think you will soon know. The recent battle between KRS-One and Big Daddy Kane resulted in a subplot that is manifesting right before our eyes. DJ Scratch, a producer/DJ for people like Busta, Jay Z, EPMD, and now Big Daddy Kane, has already put out there his narrative of things. Both men essentially say the other instigated a mini-DJ battle during the Verzuz battle.

Here is Scratch’s version of it all.

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

I am trying not to rehash all of this, but it deserves some mention. During the Verzuz battle between the Bronx titan (KRS-One) and the Brooklyn titan (BDK), it began to manifest that there was a conflict between the Kid and Scratch. Scratch did a turntable trick that said “wack DJ Kid Capri,” which Kane shut down almost immediately and then Kid Capri kicked a full rap! Now, that rap MAY have been an old, generic rap, but it came off like a battle rap towards DJ Scratch AND Kane (that’s how Scratch took it). It all degenerated from there. SO, here we ARE.

Kid Capri has released a new song that SEEMS to be taking some shots at Scratch! Is he? You have to be the judge of that. When asked, a member of his team was “mum” on what the DJ/rapper was actually saying.

“I ain’t gonna talk like Johnny Carson / I’m in my bag everytime you see the kid bossin’ / I stay quiet very often / just know who you crossin.”

“‘Why is Kid spittin’? I can’t believe he said that!’ I can talk sh#t for real – celebs rap!”

“Watching all these liars out here – telling more lies / talking about you gon’ do something…with that little crew you got, you gonna need more guys.”

“You wanna see me gone, I can see the look in your eye / you hate that you had to deal with the surge in my rhymes – well the Kid is here to stay…like burgers & fries!”

Check out the song here and judge for yourself.

DJ Scratch has not commented, but he spoke with his hands last night on ScratchVision. To be continued…

Oscar-winning actor Jamie Foxx is looking for love again.

The “Django Unchained” star is back on the market and ready for a new romance.

“I’m single… sangle,” he quipped to Extra, while promoting his new book, “Act Like You Got Some Sense: And Other Things My Daughters Taught Me.”

“You know what runs in my mind all the time? James Brown – remember that interview? ‘James, how are ya?’ ‘Well, I’m single and ready to mingle…’ That’s in the back of my head,” he added.

The “Baby Driver” standout dated “Dawson’s Creek” actress Katie Holmes from 2013 to 2019, and was later linked to model/singer Sela Vave.

However, Jamie is making his family – which includes his two daughters, Corinne, 27, and Annalise, 13 – his priority right now.

“It’s like, right now, I don’t know how to figure it out… I’m cool with where I am right now with the fam. We doing our thing.”

And he revealed his latest work includes lessons he’s learned as a parent and in life.

“It’s a little bit of everything,” he explained, “and it sort of like goes with who I am and how I’m able to present it to two wonderful little girls that God gave me.”

Grand Opening — Grand Closing! Donald Trump’s New Social Media Platform Deactivated After TWO HOURS Thanks To Hack Attack

By: Bernadette Giacomazzo Updated Category: Rumors
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

At this point, if you trust Donald Trump to do anything besides baby-sit your pet rock, it’s all your fault.

We told you, yesterday, that Trump was launching his own social network after getting deplatformed from all the existing ones, mostly for reasons that include being a cockwomble, inciting a literal insurrection, and encouraging his followers to drink bleach and eat horse paste. (You know, when your mother asked if you’d jump off the Brooklyn bridge just because your friend did, she was really hoping you wouldn’t say yes. Your devotion to Donald Trump makes your mama cry, people.)

As can be expected, Trump’s social network almost immediately caused problems the second it hit Beyoncé’s Internet. According to The Verge, Truth Social stole its entire platform from Mastodon (the open-source version of Twitter), which violated “a free and open-source software licensing agreement. The Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) has 30 days to comply with the terms of the license before its access is terminated — forcing it to rebuild the platform or face legal action.”

You mean, Donald Trump broke the law again? No way. I can’t believe it.

Anyway, less than two hours later, somebody hacked into Trump’s account and posted a picture of a pig sh*tting on its own s######. Access to the site was then shut down.

Check out the proof below.

Later, it was revealed that this was a beta version of the Truth platform set to be launched next month. Regardless, it seems like Donald Trump has abandoned his plans to go forward with the social media site.

Grand opening…grand closing.

Blueface’s Stepdad Attacked And Hospitalized In Violent Home Invasion

The police in Santa Clarita, California, are looking for four men who attacked Blueface’s mom and stepfather.

According to reports, the rapper’s mother Karissa Saffold, and stepfather were targeted in a violent home invasion earlier this month, on October 11.

The incident unfolded when one of the intruders broke a window inside of a house Blueface owns around midnight. His mother and stepfather called the cops, who came out and took a report.

According to TMZ, a few hours later, the men returned, and this time they managed to get into the house.

The rapper’s stepdad and his mom ended up fighting with one of the suspects.

One of the men struck his stepfather with a blunt object, which left him with a concussion as well as a severe wound near his left eye, which required ten stitches.

“They all began to run … to leave, the stepdad tried to grab one of them by the arm, slipped and fell on the rug,” said Sergeant Brian Shreves of the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station. “While he’s on his back, the suspect stood above him, kicked him in the face once, causing a laceration to his head.”

His stepfather was treated at a local hospital and has been released.

Police believe Blueface may have been the target of the home invasion. 

The cops in Santa Clarita county are investigating the home invasion, but no arrests have been made as of press time.

Jack Harlow Reveals Pushback He Received Over Working With Lil Nas X

Lil Nas X and Jack Harlow’s “Industry Baby” is the latter’s biggest hit to date, but some people didn’t want to see the two collaborate.

In an interview with GQ, Jack Harlow discussed the opposition he faced over working with Lil Nas X. The Atlantic Records artist admitted certain folks in his “corner” weren’t in favor of the collaboration.

“I had people in my corner that didn’t recommend I do that song, that don’t want to watch that video, you know?” he said. “But I just realize there is a fundamental difference with how the world is seen by some people. Some people think certain things are wrong.”

Jack Harlow continued, “There are some people, at the root level – although they don’t want to hurt any gays; they don’t hate gays – they think it is wrong, whether it’s religion or whatever reason it is. But for me, I have never been this way. Never.”

For Jack Harlow, working with Lil Nas X was a must. He viewed his “Industry Baby” collaborator as someone making Hip Hop more progressive.

“That’s what attracted me to [Lil Nas X] as an artist: he’s at the front and center of it, fearlessly,” he said. “But, you know, there is a long way to go … There are some people that will always feel like you are forcing it down their throats and that they are going to convert the children.”

Lil Nas X and Jack Harlow released “Industry Baby” in July. The single hit No. 1 on the Billboard 100 chart dated October 23.

Pitbull, hip-hop news, gold school

Cuban-American Hip-Hop artist Pitbull is in the news again, but it’s not for his music.

Critics are calling the “On the Floor” chart-topper out for having double standards regarding human rights and for not social distancing.

According to the Middle East Eye, many are blasting the Miami native for performing in Saudi Arabia — touting that the kingdom’s international human rights violations and their involvement in the Yemen war as evidence that he excuses some countries for treating people poorly while holding others to the fire.

Those critics, many of those fans, took to social media to express their outrage.

“Forget the human rights abuses and the starving Yemenis. Celebrate 250,000 Saudi men singing along to Pitbull instead.”

“This is jaw-dropping, but not as astonishing and horrifying as their involvement in massacres across the region”

The organization Human Rights Watch (HRW) states in their World Report 2021 the following about the Saudi’s over six-year record of human rights abuse:

“Saudi authorities in 2020 continued to repress dissidents, human rights activists, and independent clerics. Prominent women’s rights activists detained in 2018 remained in detention while on trial for their women’s rights advocacy, including Loujain al-Hathloul, Mayaa al-Zahrani, Samar Badawi, Nouf Abdulaziz, and Nassima al-Sadah.”

“In March, Saudi Arabia opened a mass trial of 68 Jordanians and Palestinians detained beginning in 2018 on vague allegations of links with a “terrorist organization.” Family members of defendants described a range of abuses by Saudi authorities following the arrests, including enforced disappearances, long-term solitary confinement, and torture.”

“Over a dozen prominent activists convicted on charges arising from their peaceful activities were serving long prison sentences. Prominent activist Waleed Abu al-Khair continued to serve a 15-year sentence that the Specialized Criminal Court imposed on him after convicting him in 2014 on charges stemming solely from his peaceful criticism in media interviews and on social media of human rights abuses.”

The organization also touches on the Yemen conflict:

“As the leader of the coalition that began military operations against Houthi forces in Yemen on March 26, 2015, Saudi Arabia has committed numerous violations of international humanitarian law. As of June, at least 7,825 civilians had been killed in the conflict, including 2,138 children, and 12,416 wounded since 2015, according to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), although the actual civilian casualty count is likely much higher. Most of these casualties were a result of coalition airstrikes. The Armed Conflict and Event Data Project estimates that 112,000 people have died from the hostilities, including 12,000 civilians.”

“Since March 2015, Human Rights Watch has documented numerous unlawful attacks by the coalition that have hit homes, markets, hospitals, schools, and mosques. Some of these attacks may amount to war crimes.”

People are up in arms in the artist’s hypocrisy. As reported by AllHipHop.com, he recently blasted Cuba sympathizers for their support of an inhumane and what he believed is an unjust government— one so abominable that his own parents had to immigrate into the United States.

The fans also got on Pitbull because the Saudi’s have a relaxed relationship with COVID-19. And throughout the packed crowd, not a mask could be seen.

“This Is Riyadh, Saudi Arabia last night. Feels like Covid is done n dusted here. Touch wood! All the best to the organisers.”

Pitbull has not released a statement about the controversy, though he did shout the city out for hosting him… Oh, no he quiet.

“Grateful to everyone who came out to party with us on the #IFEELGOODTOUR Also want to say a big thank you to @IGGYAZALEA, a REAL ONE. Amazing having you on the tour with us Dale! @TheMostBadOnes”
