Trick Daddy has never been shy about discussing his sexual preferences. Back in 2014, the South Florida-raised rapper told AllHipHop.com about his mission of establishing the Eat A Booty Gang as a national force.

Apparently, the “Nann N####” rhymer likes to receive oral pleasure as much as he likes to give it. A clip of Trick Daddy talking about analingus on the Drink Champs podcast made the rounds on social media.

“Women [are] eating the booty too… Yeah, I get ate out,” Trick Daddy told Drink Champs hosts N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN. The conversation continued with N.O.R.E. asking his guest, “You don’t have your legs in the air though?” Trick responded, “It depends.”

Trick Daddy was ridiculed seven years ago when he admitted to performing analingus on his female partners. Other people believed the promotion of the Eat A Booty Gang was just the Based on a True Story album creator trolling for attention.

“I’m a man. Real men love women. I’ve been talking since 96-97… I was the first one that got on a record and ate the p####. On ‘I’ll Be Your Player’ I said, ‘I’ll eat your coochie with your legs up, down your back, up your crack.’ See, I already ate the booty. I just didn’t say it yet. But I did say it,” explained Trick Daddy in 2014.

When questioned if analingus would no longer be so taboo by 2030, Trick Daddy told AllHipHop.com, “I think they already do [eat booty]. They just don’t say it. I’m that person that says whatever. They tell me, ‘You got no filter, Trick.’ I just say things everybody else wanna say, but everybody ain’t got the heart to say. That’s all.”

Trick Daddy shared more of his personal life with his 2010 memoir Magic City: Trials of a Native Son. An audio version of the book was released earlier this year.

“I wanted to give a voice to all the folks who weren’t blessed enough to share our trials and tribulations and share the inspiration that was found after surviving those storms both natural and man-made,” stated Trick Daddy.

Magic City co-writer Peter Bailey added, “The culture needs this moment to reflect on where we are as a society right now; we need the honesty and lessons presented in Trick’s story.”

Kanye West has been the talk of the music world for the last two months. The G.O.O.D. Music label founder was effective at building anticipation for his new studio LP.

Donda finally landed on August 29. Kanye West’s tenth album, named after his late mother Donda West, became a top trending topic on social media upon its release.

With all the hype surrounding Donda, how many units is the project expected to move in its first week? HitsDailyDouble reports Kanye West’s latest offering is presently on pace to sell 300,000 copies out the gate.

Donda looks to be a streaming juggernaut, so far. The album reportedly pulled in 99 million global streams on Spotify and 60 million U.S. streams on Apple Music on its first day.

There were a lot of controversies connected to the release of Donda. Kanye West accused Universal Music Group of putting Donda out without his approval. Sources associated with the record company denied that accusation.

Kanye West also got heat over Donda from fellow artists like Soulja Boy and Chris Brown. Additionally, the album has been met with mixed to poor reviews from professional music critics.

Donda includes features by Jay-Z, Playboi Carti, Lil Baby, The Weeknd, Baby Keem, Travis Scott, Lil Durk, Lil Yachty, Young Thug, Kid Cudi, The Lox, and other acts. The 27-track LP is forecasted to open at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart which would give Kanye West his tenth career chart-topper.

The popular Instagram model was found dead at her home on Sunday at around 4 pm at the Cortland Apartments located at 5200 Pointe West Circle in Richmond, Texas. It is being reported that police were responding to a welfare check.  

Richmond police say that the body of a man, now identified as 34-year-old Kevin Alexander Accorto was also discovered at the scene. Investigators do not believe there was a relationship between Accorto and Gagnier. An official cause of death is still pending autopsy results.   

Neighbors inside the Cortland Apartments report that the complex is quiet and safe, “What I thought was safe it seems is not. We have so many rules and so many guidelines I would never expect someone to breach our security and someone be murdered on this property,” a neighbor told reporters. Another stated, “It’s safe over here, we have the gates, the fence, you got to have a code to get in, a code to get out, I’m just in shock.” 

Resident Field Ledford told reporters, “It would be kind of surprising to know that this was an intruder, someone that broke into the house because I wouldn’t think that would happen here.”  

Tributes and condolences have poured in from loved ones and fans alike. Tory Lanez was one of the first to confirm the tragedy posting a photograph of the beautiful young woman on his Instagram story along with the caption “Rest in peace Queen.” 

Bow Wow commented on Gagnier’s latest Instagram post, writing, “Stop playing we just spoke on thurs dont do me like this yo! Naaa.”

Oscar winner H.E.R. will make her acting debut in Blitz Bazawule’s “The Color Purple movie musical.

The singer, who scored her first Academy Award for the song “Fight For You” from “Judas and the Black Messiah,” has been cast as “Squeak” in the latest adaptation of Alice Walker’s book.

Inspired by the Broadway musical version of Steven Spielberg’s film, the movie will also feature Corey Hawkins as Harpo Johnson.

H.E.R., real name Gabriella Sarmiento Wilson, will tackle the character played by Rae Dawn Chong in the 1985 film.

Oprah Winfrey, who made her feature acting debut in Spielberg’s movie, is producing via her Harpo Films banner, alongside Spielberg and Quincy Jones.

In related news, Oprah has been recruited to help Broadway producers encourage fans to return to theaters when they re-open next month following the COVID shutdown.

The Great White Way’s venues have been closed since March, 2020, and now theater bosses are trying to generate interest in plays and musicals as part of the “This Is Broadway” campaign, which will launch on Monday.

It features a new video featuring archival footage of past and current Broadway shows and stars like Hugh Jackman, Bruce Springsteen, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and Sara Bareilles, narrated by Oprah.

The footage will appear on screens throughout New York City’s subway and bus stations, in taxis, and on a Times Square electronic cube.

It ends with Winfrey stating, “This is Broadway and we can’t wait to welcome you home.”

Casanova Co-Defendant Accused Of Robbing Drug Customer Says Lawyer Is Ruining His Shot At Freedom

By: Mike Winslow Updated Category: Exclusives

One of Casanova’s co-defendants in a racketeering case claims his lawyer is ruining his chance at freedom.

Isaiah “Zay” Santos is one of 18 defendants the government claims are members of the Untouchable Gorilla Stone Nation.

In December of 2020, the Feds charged Casanova, Zay, and 16 other members of the gang in a 16-count indictment.

The gang members are charged with carrying out orders on behalf of Gorilla Stone’s leader, Dwight “Dick Wolf” Reid, who is accused of running the gang from prison as he serves a life sentence for a brutal murder.

Gorilla Stone, which has thousands of members across the United States, is accused of running guns, selling drugs – and in one case – murdering a 15-year-old boy.

The Feds claim Zay is a large-scale trafficker of marijuana.

Investigators obtained Zay’s price lists for his drugs, after tapping his phone and getting search warrants for his iCloud account.

In addition to dealing drugs, prosecutors claim Zay robbed a customer in February of 2020 after the victim refused to pay him for a previous purchase.

Zay wrote a letter to Judge Philip Halpern to complain about the “ineffective counsel” of his lawyer, John Burke.

Zay says Burke is screwing up his case, by failing to provide him Discovery material and status updates from the government.

“These matters are unconstitutional and hinder me from understanding what’s exactly going on,” Zay told Judge Halpern. “He has even denied sending my Discovery because of the amount of pages it is. He claims the government has offered plea bargains, but I’ve never received such notice.”

Isaiah “Zay” Santos is requesting a new lawyer to fight three charges: racketeering conspiracy, narcotics conspiracy, and possession and brandishing of a firearm.

If he’s convicted, Zay faces a mandatory minimum of 17 years and prison.

Black Doctors Check Busta Rhymes After Anti-Mask Rant Goes Viral

By: Kershaw St. Jawnson Updated Category: News

After Busta Rhymes made a huge statement about COVID-19 earlier this summer in June, but somehow over the last few days the rant about his “civil liberties” and rights have gone viral.

Now a medical professional from the culture speaks out to give the “facts” about the various mandates and vaccine options.

In the video that was originally uploaded on June 20, 2021, Busta shares how relieved he is to be in front of human life.

The “Pass the Courvoisier” rapper said, “It’s called the God-given right of freedom, right? No human being is supposed to tell you that you can’t even breathe freely. F*** your mask… some of y’all might feel differently, but f*** your mask.”

Media influencer and news broadcaster, Roland Martin hosted a few Black doctors on his “Roland Martin Unfiltered” show to clarify if there was any weight to the chart-topping rapper’s claims.

Dr. Kristy McDowell said on August 24th’s episode of “Roland Martin Unfiltered” the following, “It angers me, and it vexes my soul when I hear entertainers and other people who have mass followings say ignorant things such as Busta Rhymes. I was telling my students today about wearing a mask and getting vaccinated.”

“If you don’t get the vaccine you are gambling with your life,” she added.

“It’s one thing to do stupid things that put your own life at risk,” another doctor named Dr. Joseph Graves, Jr. shared. “It’s an entirely other thing when you take a public platform, and you use your celebrity to get up there to tell other people that it’s OK in the middle of the deadliest pandemic since 1918. Those people who die because they listened to a video.”

Fans started to take to social media to check Busta!

“When Andrew Caldwell is making more sense than Busta Rhymes these days…”

“A throat doctor later discovered that there were polyps in his throat, restricting 90% of his breathing and he had to have emergency surgery.”<- You’d think Busta Rhymes would be more concerned about a virus that attacks your respiratory system given his history. Dumb ass”

“Confirmed: Busta Rhymes is better when he’s rapping too fast for us to really understand what he’s saying.”

“Busta Rhymes: “F*** your mask” Black Twitter: ”

“Very disappointing to see Busta Rhymes going on a rant against masks and COVID safety protocols”

RIP: Lee “Scratch” Perry Dead At 85

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Category: News
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

Reggae legend Lee “Scratch” Perry has died, aged 85.

The pioneering singer and producer passed away on Sunday at the Noel Holmes Hospital in western Jamaica, according to the Jamaica Observer.

Andrew Holness, the Prime Minister of Jamaica, was quick to pay tribute, tweeting: “My deep condolences to the family, friends, and fans of legendary record producer and singer, Rainford Hugh Perry OD, affectionately known as Lee Scratch Perry.

“He has worked with and produced for various artistes, including Bob Marley and the Wailers, the Congos, Adrian Sherwood, the Beastie Boys, and many others. Undoubtedly, Lee Scratch Perry will always be remembered for his sterling contribution to the music fraternity. May his soul Rest In Peace.”

Perry’s career spanned seven decades and he was beloved by the greats, including Rolling Stones star Keith Richards, who once called him “the Salvador Dali of music”, and Afrika Bambaataa, who claimed Perry’s sound “inspired us to start hip-hop.”

Born in Jamaica in 1936, Perry moved to Kingston in the early 1960s, and worked for Clement Dodd’s Downbeat Sound System and Studio One, producing dozens of songs for the label.

Following a spat with the reggae mogul, Perry moved to Amalgamated Records before launching his own label, Upsetter Records.

His 1968 single, “People Funny Boy,” became a huge hit in the U.K. and Jamaica, allowing Perry to build his own backyard studio, where he would master the art of dub by remixing his own tracks, and record 1973’s Blackboard Jungle and the 1976 album Super Ape, which would become a classic.

He also co-wrote and produced several tracks which would help establish Jamaican music globally, including Junior Murvin’s “Police & Thieves,” which would become a huge hit for The Clash from their self-titled 1977 debut album. Perry also produced the U.K. punk band’s single “Complete Control.”

A mental breakdown in 1978 halted Perry’s run of hits and he took a hiatus before returning to form and he has spent the past three decades releasing new albums annually, while collaborating with the likes of the Orb and Brian Eno.

Another longtime collaborator, Mad Professor, was quick to pay tribute to Perry, calling his death “the end of an era!”

“We first worked (together) in the early eighties, recording several tracks and doing tours, having many laughs, sharing many dreams…,” the dub producer wrote. “we spoke together with his wife a week ago… What a character! Totally ageless! Extremely creative, with a memory as sharp as a tape machine! A brain as accurate as a computer!

“We traveled the world together… Japan, Russia, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, Argentina, Columbia, All over the USA and Canada… and many more places. Never a dull moment! All the Bob Marley stories… all the Dodd stories!! And many more…(sic)”

He and Perry first worked together on 1989’s Mystic Warrior and went on to release several joint albums, including 1995’s Super Ape Inna Jungle and 1996’s Dub Take the Voodoo Out of Reggae.

“A clear understanding of the music and reggae industry… he guided me through the complicated reggae landscape, taught me how to balance a track to create hits…,” Mad Professor adds. “I am happy to have learnt from him… I am missing him already, but happy to have known him.”

The producer claims he has enough unreleased Perry material to release another 20 albums.

There seems to be no limit to the excellence in Percy Miller’s family.

Master P’s son has recently committed to attend a prestigious undergraduate school to play basketball as a high school freshman and the mogul couldn’t wait to share the news with the world.

Mercy Miller has committed to being a student-athlete at the University of Houston. The proud poppa took to social media to share the good news.

He shared on Instagram the following caption:

“Hard work pays off! My son @mercymiller is a 6’4 High School Sophomore shooting guard at Minnehaha Academy, ranked #1 Basketball Player Class of 2024 in the state of Minnesota. He has decided to make an early commitment to be a student-athlete at the University of Houston. #TheFuture Salute to coach Sampson @uhcougarmbk.”

The former Charlotte Hornets and Toronto Raptors baller was once offered a scholarship to the University of Houston when he was a teen.

Mercy, the ninth of the No Limit rapper’s cluster of children, also took to Instagram to announce to his friends and fans.

He said, “COMMITTED! #UofH ❤️🤍 God got a plan for me that no man can stop. #gocougars #blessed.”

His brother, Hercy commented, “So proud & congrats Lil bro ❤️🤍 Love you! #Htown #courgars.”

Mercy played with his brother Hercy at one of Minnesota’s top programs at Minnehaha Academy (Minneapolis).

At 6-3, the freshman guard averages 9.9 points per game. His season-high was 14 on February 15 against Stewartville. The game was televised on ESPN.

Hercy is a senior. The same height as his little brother, this year Hercy averaged 10.1 points per game. He also received offers from LSU, Missouri, Morgan State, USC, and Western Kentucky.

The two will not only follow in their dad’s footsteps but also their oldest brother Lil Romeo. While many know Romeo Miller for his rap career, he also played ball on the college level at USC with DeMar DeRozan.

Again, as their dad has imparted in all of his children, there is no limit to what any of them can do.

Crazy White Man Attacks Black MSNBC Correspondent on LIVE TV

What in the world is going on???

MSNBC location reporter Shaquille Brewster was covering Tropical Storm Ida from a Gulfport beach in Mississippi when a white man races up to and threatens him.

The harassment transpires live on television, while the young Black man is doing his job.

In a video, that has been trending online, one can hear Brewster report, “We’re in Gulfport Mississippi and I tell you the biggest sign (or) indicator about the force of the storm last night is that the mail has returned. We saw postal workers going out and delivering mail this morning. Just a couple of minutes ago people are walking their dogs and are back on the beach.”

He continued on saying, “That gives you a sense of what … The rain has stopped, the wind is still going,” as the man winded-ly jogs through the sand into his broadcast frame.

The Howard grad never skips a beat as he comments, “I think we even have a random person … going around,” as the man rants about “accuracy.”

As Brewster turns his back so that he is facing the man, he continues to do his brief.

“One thing we are noticing is that the Mayor says that the curfew is still in effect …” he starts to say when within a minute, the out-of-control white guy races up to his face.

Face red with flush, fist clenched and hair whipping back, the cameras cut off and it seems that the young man is in trouble.

But he was ok. Brewster tweeted, “Appreciate the concern guys. The team and I are all good!”

No word on if the man was arrested for disorderly conduct.

#ICYMI: Lizzo Said Work Overload ‘Lessened My Patience With People & Bullsh*t’

Lizzo isn’t here for your drama.

In a recent interview with Audacy’s V-103, the multi-talented singer and songwriter — who has been under fire from social media trolls — made clear that her work overload has tried her patience, and she’s at the end of her rope.

“I was really exhausted,” she said to the Atlanta radio station. “I went from sitting in my house, quarantine, doing nothing for the last year-and-a-half to rehearsals, filming, promo and press, and working every single day. 14-hour days. So that kind of pressure I think kind of lessened my patience with people and bullsh*t.”

Lizzo also said that the best advice she got was from Cardi B, her co-collaborator on “Rumors.” “Your revenge is on the charts,” the Bronx native reportedly told her. “You just keep making your music and shut the haters up.”

But if you think that Lizzo will be releasing new music anytime soon, you’re in for a disappointment. “There’s no tea, unfortunately,” she said. “I have a list of people of who I want, but nobody is on it yet. I want to finish my songs. I don’t know when it’s coming, but it’s not coming this year.”

Well, that’s certainly disappointing — but understandable. You can check out the video of the full interview below.

Somebody is expecting a baby … and the Champagne Papi wants you to know that it just might be your girl.

The rapper took to his social media to creatively announce his upcoming project.

And while some rappers are having all kinds of hiccups with their roll-out, Drake is in his full-flawless promotional bag prepping for the debut of his highly anticipated album, Certified Lover Boy.

As reported by AllHipHop.com, CLB will be dropping the very first week of September.

Last week, he appeared in a Sports Center commercial. Antsy fans instantly believed that he was sending them a message about the release.

Now, those same fans are leaping for joy as he posts on Instagram, CERTIFIED LOVER BOY SEPTEMBER 3.

The caption is where he gets very “cheeky.”

In true lover boy fashion, he posted twelve pregnant ladies of different colors. There are a few messages that can be perceived from the messaging like maybe all of the women around the world are expecting Drizzy’s baby.

But the more accurate one, according to Elliot Wilson, is that this image is the actual cover of the project. The noted Hip-Hop journalist posted on Twitter, “Confirmed that’s the cover art. #CLB”

That makes it worse. Drake fin to drop this new Certified Lover Boy album and steal everyone’s girl, figuratively and literally.

With the chart-topping, club-banger, and girl-snatching record that he has, no one is surprised. But you all better be a little scared.

He is telling you all plainly— girls are getting knocked up with his new project.

Rapper Soulja Boy is still fuming mad at Kanye West after the Chicago rapper cut his verse from his latest album Donda.

According to Soulja Boy, he was supposed to be on the song “Remote Control,” but his bars were replaced with a verse from Young Thug on the final version of the album.

Donda was released yesterday morning (August 30) and was surrounded by controversy.

First, Kanye accused DaBaby’s manager of holding up the release (a claim he denied), then the Chicago rapper said his label Universal dropped Donda without his consent (they denied that as well).

And then, As AllHipHop previously reported Chris Brown, Donald Glover, and Soulja Boy took shots at Kanye over Donda.

Chris Brown labeled Kanye a “hoe” for scaling back his participation on Donda, while Donald Glover implied Kanye West stole the solid black cover idea for the artwork for Donda from his album 13.5.20.

But Soulja Boy seems to be harboring the most anger towards Ye after being slighted – again.

Soulja Boy threatened to take the issues with Kanye to another level. He has been tweeting at Kanye all morning with warnings of violence.

“On God. You a b#### @kanyewest and if u got a problem with what im saying I’ll knock u out my n####,” Soulja Boy said. “B#### ass n####. How u get so lame?

This isn’t the first time Soulja Boy has been cut by Kanye West.

Soulja was supposed to appear on the song “RoboCop” with Kanye, on his hit 2008 album 808s & Heartbreak.

“He did this same s### on ‘Robocop’ when Amber Rose was in the studio years ago. I hate working with this dude. He needs help seriously,” Soulja Boy fumed.

“If he didn’t like the verse he should of said that don’t text me acting like u f### wit it then secretly take it off. What kind of s### is that I was working on my album too I don’t got time for this s###,” Soulja Boy said.

Then he leaked his verse from “Robocop.” Take a listen below:

Is Tory Lanez Running An NFT Scam? Some Fans Seem To Think So

Tory Lanez is just the latest rapper to get in on the NFT craze. But some fans think that he’s trying to pull a fast one.

In a recent Instagram post, the controversial rapper claimed that “all the avenues were taken away from [him]” thanks to the blowback from the alleged shooting of Megan Thee Stallion.

To make up for lost income, Tory Lanez turned to the world of NFTs.

Check out his Instagram post below.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by FARGO’S CRAZY LIFE (@torylanez)

NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, are a fancy way of saying “digital authentication.” AfroTech explains that, in a nutshell, anything that was digitally created should get an NFT to verify that what you’re seeing is the original digital creation, which sets it apart from replicas. Because NFTs have helped their owners earn a pretty penny, Tory Lanez — and other artists like Rick Ross, Waka Flocka, and John Legend — have invested their money in them.

Naturally, Lanez’s move into the NFT market has earned him kudos from his contemporaries. Timbaland, in particular, sent his well-wishes in the IG comment section. But some fans — who claim to be experts in the NFT market — claim Tory Lanez is running a scam.

An anonymous tipster sent us some of the more damning comments, which you can see below. What do you think the truth is? You be the judge.

Summer Walker is not here for y’all roasting photos of her little baby.

According to Revolt, the singer took to Instagram to announce that she was leaving the popular social sharing app and starting her own social media app. The announcement came shortly after photos of her child were met with harsh criticism from trolls.

“I’m bout to look into creating a app similar cause this IG s### going to hell,” the post read. “Idk if I even wanna drop my Galactawhore merch on here.. lol it might go against they ‘guidelines.'”

The post has since been deleted.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CSaZVeTF93M/

But other rumors suggest that Summer Walker doesn’t want to create the competing app because of trolls coming for her baby. Rather, Walker’s posts criticizing the United States’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic have been removed by Instagram, and the singer claims this is a violation of her constitutional rights.

“I’m done w this app, and really this whole plandemic agenda,” she said in another deleted post. “It goes against guidelines to say sleep, water, vegetables, exercise, meditation, fasting & yoga is extremely beneficial to your health but an experimental jab is completely fine to recommend.”

Around 9:30 PM on Sunday night, hundreds of New York subway riders were terrified as almost 100 trains went dead —while in motion— after a power surge impeded the city’s transit system. Trains on the NYC MTA system had to have their passengers evacuated because of this awful black-out, one that the state’s newly sworn-in governor called, “unacceptable.”

According to ConEd, its underground transmission feeder was the reason for the outage. The electrical distribution company also says that the voltage disturbance only lasted for a split second.

But that doesn’t mean it didn’t cause widespread chaos.

The MTA says that it experienced “extremely limited service” on the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and L lines, however, because there was an actual power surge, the Rail Control Center couldn’t make the announcement to the passengers nor their signaling systems.

ConEd addressed this communication mishap, “We understand the MTA lost some communications to and from their Rail Control Center located in midtown Manhattan. We are in contact with the MTA to understand why they lost this communication at their rail center during this voltage disturbance.”

Public servants like the FDNY and MTA police helped secure hundreds of people off the stalled trains. At the 149th St and Grand Concourse stop, servicing the 2,4 and 5, 300 people were removed from as many as five trains.

She took to her social media during the black-out promising to get to the bottom of this.

“I have directed the MTA to do everything possible to mitigate the impact of tonight’s service disruptions. MTA personnel are assisting customers and NYPD is in the system supporting these efforts. We are in talks with ConEd to determine root cause & rectify as soon as possible.”

Gov. Kathy Hochul said that this was “unacceptable” and told New York’s 5.5 million subway drivers, “the system failed you.”  

While people were scared, no one was hurt.

For her part, Megan Thee Stallion is enjoying a wave of success thanks to the “Butter” remix featuring Korean boy band BTS. After what was a bit of a contentious legal battle, Billboard reports that the remix is considered the “fan favorite” of the week.

Ciara, meanwhile, is enjoying the success of her new clothing line, LITA (Love is the Answer), which was officially released today. According to Yahoo, the line is being released under The House of LR&C, which she founded with her husband Russell Wilson and Christine Day in 2020.

As for Normani, the success of the “Wild Side” single featuring Cardi B — which was released earlier this summer — has earned her plenty of accolades as of late.

Previously, Cardi B worked with Megan Thee Stallion on the super-smash hit, “WAP.” So, is this a sign that these ladies will all be collaborating in the future?

Meek Mill took part in another Q&A on Twitter over the weekend. This time, Meek began interacting with his fans as a way to promote his new single “Sharing Locations” featuring Lil Baby and Lil Durk.

The “Sharing Locations” music video has collected over 3 million views on YouTube since its premiere on August 27, and the visuals are still trending at #2 in the platform’s music section. On Saturday afternoon, Meek Mill tweeted, “Tag #sharinglocations and ask a question let’s get it!!!!”

Followers of the Dreamchasers leader began questioning him about upcoming show locations, posthumous Lil Snupe music, religion, African Hip Hop, and other topics. Meek Mill also responded to inquiries about his next official body of work which he confirmed will have 18 tracks.

“When is the album dropping?” one person asked. Meek Mill responded, “Album done so soon!” Plus, the Philadelphia-raised rap star later added, “I’m back now!! I’m about to drop!!”

One Twitter user told Meek Mill his music provides motivation for the mind, body, and soul. The Atlantic recording artist replied, “This album I’m really talking wayyyyyy better!!!”

Meek Mill also provided a big hint about when the follow-up to Championships would actually arrive on DSPs. After being asked what’s the chance of an album, the 34-year-old entertainer wrote, “Like a matter of days lol.”

Championships was released in 2018. Meek Mill’s fourth studio LP debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart with 229,000 first-week units. The collection included features by Cardi B, Rick Ross, Jay-Z, Future, Roddy Ricch, Young Thug, Drake, 21 Savage, and other acts.

There was recent speculation that “What’s Free” collaborators Meek Mill and Jay-Z were joining forces again on a forthcoming track. The two Roc Nation-backed emcees were photographed together in the studio earlier this year.

If Meek Mill is planning to drop an album in the coming days, he could have to deal with commercial competition from Kanye West’s recently released Donda. In addition, Drake’s long-anticipated Certified Lover Boy will debut on Friday, September 3.
