Joe Budden Claims He’s Planning Therapy Sessions With ‘JBP’ Co-Host Rory

The complicated co-hosting shakeup at The Joe Budden Podcast has played out over the last few episodes. Many fans of the popular, long-running internet show want to know if the absence of Rory Farrell and Mal Clay is temporary or permanent.

Joe Budden repeatedly said both co-hosts can return whenever they are ready, but some listeners are still wondering exactly why the team of friends is fractured in the first place. YouTube viewers even expressed their frustration by negatively skewering the like-to-dislike ratio on the recent videos without Rory and Mal.

The two missing men at the center of the situation have yet to directly address the apparent fallout with Budden. Meanwhile, the former Slaughterhouse member insists there is no beef between the co-workers but the show must go on with other associates as interim replacements.

At first, Budden claimed Rory and Mal were on vacation before having to acknowledge that the podcast is “working through things.” Apparently, that work includes Budden and Rory going to therapy sessions together to help settle the issues may be causing the personal and/or professional problems between them.

“I don’t think I’m supposed to divulge our therapy plans publicly, but we are going to therapy. I am a therapy baby, man,” said Budden on Instagram Live when asked about Rory. “Some of y’all know this. I know some of y’all only get your perception of me from the internet. But I’m a therapy baby. When something is wrong, we’re calling the therapist. Let’s get to the bottom of it, baby.”

The 40-year-old rapper-turned-media personality also said, “I called my man [Rory] up and said, ‘You wanna go to therapy or nah?’ We out. That’s it. We’ll get to pod business later.” In the past, Budden appeared on Vice Media’s The Therapist series where he talked about his anger-fueled conflicts like the infamous 2017 BET Awards red carpet standoff with the Migos.

NLE Choppa Arrested In Florida, Reports Say

Multiple news outlets are reporting that rapper NLE Choppa was arrested in Florida on burglary charges. Information online its relatively scant in the regular news, but not in the Internet chatter. The rumors are definitely talking, and numerous YouTube reporters are stating sources that say that he was arrested over the weekend.  Yesterday to be specific.

We haven’t gotten a formal report that officiates this news. However it seems like the charge is presently saying he was allegedly in possession of a concealed firearm, possession of marijuana, and possession of Xanax. It certainly does not look good but I am hoping that it is all wrong.

NLE Choppa was one of my favorite young rappers and he seem to be moving in a completely different direction. He definitely showed enlightenment as well as maturity as he’s aged. At the same time, he is still an 18-year-old kid and is prone to do some stupid stuff. Just like kids! But his mug shot looks pretty clean he smiling and he is probably out already on bond.

Here’s Johnny!

YG Gives Away “Block Runner” Sneakers To Homeless At Skid Row’s Union Rescue Mission

Keenon “YG” Jackson recently launched The Flame footwear as part of his 4Hunnid brand. The West Coast emcee’s “Block Runner” sneakers became available on March 26 via 4Hunnid.com and reportedly sold out in less than seven minutes.

YG and Chris Burnett began developing “Block Runner” in 2018. The shoes come in a red/white colorway that features a red The Flame logo across the quarter panel. More “Block Runner” designs are set for release over the next year.

“The Block Runner name is inspired by what 4Hunnid represents: the Westcoast,” states YG. “It’s only right our first sneaker caters to the streets and glorifies The Block because [the block] is where everything starts for me.”

The My Life 4Hunnid album creator adds, “The name The Flame came from spending too much time trying to think of a krazy kool name but it was there the whole time, the logo; less is more.”

YG is set to host an exclusive pop-up event for his hometown of Los Angeles on April 2. In addition, YG gave back to his local LA community by distributing more than $10,000 worth of The Flame shoes to the Union Rescue Mission in Skid Row.

Nike Denies Designing Or Endorsing Lil Nas X’s “Satan Shoes”

Nike wants the world to know the company did not have a hand in the creation of Lil Nas X’s controversial modified Nike Air Max 97s. LNX partnered with the MSCHF art collective to design what is being described as “Satan Shoes.”

“We do not have a relationship with Little Nas X or MSCHF,” reads a statement from the billion-dollar athletic apparel corporation based in Oregon. “Nike did not design or release these shoes and we do not endorse them.”

The black and red sneakers are decorated with a pentagram pendant and supposedly contain “one drop” of human blood. There is also a reference to the Bible passage Luke 10:18. Only 666 pairs of the “Satan Shoes” were made. Each pair are being sold for $1,018.

MSCHF x Lil Nas X’s “Satan Shoes”

Even though Lil Nas is facing significant backlash from Christians, conservative pundits, and even other recording artists for embracing Luciferian symbolism, the “Montero (Call Me by Your Name)” creator seems to be taking the negative reactions in stride. Trolling his naysayers appears to be LNX’s tactic of dealing with the criticism.

“Y’all gotta admit… The shoes hard! U cannot sit here and lie,” tweeted Lil Nas after news of the “Satan Shoes” broke online. He later posted a picture of a fake Chick-fil-A-inspired sneaker with John 3:16 written on the side. In 2012, the fast-food chain’s CEO was an outspoken opponent of same-sex marriage.

Earlier in the day, LNX also tweeted a link to an “apology” video on YouTube. Viewers that watched the clip expecting to see the openly gay internet personality repent for using Satanic imagery in his artistic work were likely shocked by what they discovered.

Cardi B Reacts To Being Drawn Into Lil Nas X’s “Satanism” Controversy

Two weeks ago, Cardi B was the main target for cancellation by many conservatives. Her performance of “WAP” featuring Megan Thee Station at the Grammy Awards was blamed for destroying the American empire. Cardi was even compared to Hitler.

This week, the right-wing outrage machine has placed its attention on Lil Nas X. The Grammy winner angered some Christians with his new “Montero (Call Me By Your Name)” music video which depicts the openly gay rapper dancing sexually on Satan.

Lil Nas doubled down on the Devil imagery by offering “Satan Shoes” that reportedly contain real human blood. The 21-year-old entertainer was accused of endorsing Satanism, promoting an evil “gay agenda,” and attempting to corrupt the minds of America’s children.

This latest controversy involving Lil Nas X did not involve Cardi B at all, but her ardent critics drew her into the situation anyway. Right-wing agitator/constant Cardi complainer Candace Owens even argued that the two “Rodeo” collaborators are more dangerous than white supremacy.

Owens suggested the “Bodak Yellow” rapper, LNX’s Satan Shoes, and George Floyd have caused more damage for African Americans than systemic racism. Floyd was the Black man who was killed in May 2020 when Caucasian police officer Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds. Footage of Floyd’s death ignited Black Lives Matter protests around the world.

Cardi responded to Owens by tweeting, “Always gotta bring me up in something [face with rolling eyes emoji]. GO: [touch some grass].” The Invasion of Privacy album creator later stated that she does not want her form of sexual expression on songs like “WAP” to be tied to Lil Nas X’s form of expression that involves religious imagery.

“Don’t confuse and compare my sexual confidence with anything that has to do with religion. Ya keep putting me in these tweets and I don’t play that s###. I have very strong faith in God and I don’t play with him neither. Leave me [the] f### alone!” tweeted Cardi.

She added, “My issue is every time a celebrity [is] facing backlash or some dumb s### like the Dr. Seuss and [Pepé Le Pew] s### happened people always gotta bring my f##### name up and s### don’t be having nothing to do wit me. Like. S### DONT MAKE SENSE!”

WWE Wrestler Randy Orton Compares Soulja Boy To His Penis

Even though World Wrestling Entertainment’s television programming is labeled as TV-PG, one of the company’s biggest superstars went full TV-MA on social media. The month-long feud between Randy Orton and Soulja Boy continued over the weekend.

Orton’s beef with Soulja began weeks ago after the “Crank That” hitmaker tweeted, “Rap game faker than WWE.” The bad blood eventually led to the wrestler using racial stereotypes to bury Soulja Boy which caused the master of the RKO move to face some backlash from fans.

Soulja Boy then reheated the beef yesterday when he tweeted, “WWE scared of me. And Randy organ p####. They big [cap] use somebody else name for ratings. I knew they [were] too fake to have me there. I’ll slap the s### out dude live.”

That latest shot seemed to be a reaction to the news that YouTuber Logan Paul will be involved in the build-up to WWE’s Wrestlemania 37 event in April. Soulja wrote, “You a b#### @RandyOrton and I mean that [hundred points emoji] p####… Still gon knock Jake Paul out when I see him. Gotta get that get back for Nate.”

Orton, the 14-time wrestling world champion, returned fire at Soulja by comparing the performer to his penis. He tweeted, “My dick taller [than] you. Weighs more too. Go to bed you f###### infant. You’re welcome for the boost. Go choke on a keyboard.’

The former Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood reality show star answered by bringing up finances. Soulja responded, “Bro you wear thongs. Leather thongs at that. Stop the cap [cap emoji] my money taller than you. To be real I think you scared of me. All that talk I’ll smack the s### out [of you].”

 

Lil Nas X Responds To Joyner Lucas Complaining About Children Seeing “Montero” Music Video

Montero “Lil Nas X” Hill is currently the talk of the internet. The 21-year-old rapper/singer shocked a lot of people when he dropped his “Montero (Call Me By Your Name)” video last week.

The visuals feature religious and mythological imagery, including a scene where LNX performed a lap dance on the devil in hell. He followed up the MV with even more controversy by presenting unofficial redesigned Nike sneakers called “Satan Shoes.”

Several conservatives pundits and politicians took to Twitter to express their outrage over the Lil Nas X video and the MSCHF collaborative footwear. “Devil’s Work” emcee Joyner Lucas shared his thoughts on the platform as well.

“That @LilNasX video is wild but as [an] artist he doing everything he supposed to do. Creating viral moments, making people talk, and creating content he already knew you [were] going to react to. It’s a formula guaranteed to work. I doubt he actually worships the devil,” posted Lucas.

The Massachusetts representative added, “I think the biggest problem for me is the fact he [doesn’t] understand ‘Old Town Road’ is every [kid’s] anthem. Children love him for that record. They tuned in and subscribed to his channels. So with no disclaimer he just dropped some left-field ish and all our kids seen it. Smh.”

In response, Lil Nas quote-tweeted Lucas and pointed out that his 14x-Platinum single “Old Town Road” contained adult-centered lyrics too. The Georgia native wrote, “I literally sing about lean and adultery in ‘Old Town Road.’ U decided to let your child listen. Blame yourself.”

Previously, the openly gay recording artist tweeted, “I spent my entire teenage years hating myself because of the s### y’all preached would happen to me because I was gay. So I hope u are mad, stay mad, feel the same anger you teach us to have towards ourselves.”

Besides Joyner Lucas, Lil Nas X has also been reacting to complaints from other individuals like former Golden State Warriors basketball player Nick Young, Republican South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, and right-wing commentator Candace Owens. LNX’s responses are mostly just him trolling his detractors.

Foogiano Wants To Slap Up Trey Songz…Trey Laughs

Foogiano is Gucci Mane’s artist. And he is going in an interesting path, considering he is currently in jail. He was really just on house arrest, but he removed an ankle monitor that was mandated by the court after he got caught out there on some burglary mess. And then he was foolish enough to take the monitor off and go on the lam. He was captured and then charged with being a fugitive from justice without a warrant.

But now he’s in a another type of beef, with singer Trey Songz. Trey did nothing wrong really he just gave Foogiano’s girlfriend props. And I guess, from the confines of jail, on the jail phone, Foogiano decides to threaten the singer with the slaps. Granted homey‘s gal is pretty dope, but is it worth it to possibly break another law while about to get another case. I’m thinking he needs to stay squeaky clean until he goes through the system and comes out OK. But no he is sounding like a whole MENACE. A Menace to singer’s society!

He called Trey all kinds of b#tches and said he was going to “slap the s##t” out of the VA boy!

Lil Reese Comments On Lul Timm Getting Out

First of all, I did not know that Lil Reese could even talk. Not trying to be funny, but he got shot in the neck and I just thought he was no longer able to use his voice. I think he was not able to speak for a long time, but I kind of stopped looking. At any rate, he’s talking now.

Lul Timm is the accused murderer of King Von in Atlanta. What should have been a fair fight turned into a homicide. At the time, it just seems unfathomable. And then it happened. Lul Timm is not going down without a legal fight. So, he managed to get out on the town and..celebrate!

Durk seems to be making a veiled threat to the boy. I honestly don’t know all the slang, but they are going to roll him up and smoke him.

Meanwhile, Quando Rondo and them are basically chillin….not cool. King Von is dead. They should have squared up and lived.

 

Rappers Mourn The Death Of “Today I Got Time Cuz” Viral Sensation Vincent Lee Brown

Millions knew the late Vincent Lee Brown as the “Today, I got time Cuz” white Crip gang banger from Colorado who went viral in 2014.

Today, his family mourns his death after receiving the news that his lifeless body was found in front of a tire store by local Aurora police on Sunday, March 21.

The tragic loss has the world wondering if the street culture Brown celebrated so aggressively snatched his 22-year-old life.

His mother Linnea Brown said that by the time of his death, Brown had not been active and that despite the “cuz” talk, he was not an actual member of one of the largest street gangs in the country.

She also spoke about how kind he was as a kid and that living on the streets made him hard. She said, “He kind of, more or less, grew up on the streets in his teenage years.”

In the video that made him notorious, he was “trippin” on someone who questioned his gangsta. His voice squeaked, “I got time, cuz,” which led to him being featured as an intro to Trippie Redd’s “It Takes Time” video.

“Though his voice was used by professional artists Snoop Dogg and Trippie Red’s, he never received royalties. He grew to be a caring and protective friend and son. He was the kind of person would literally give a stranger the shoes off his feet, or his last $5,” his mother said.

Brown was an artist as well. His mother posted a “Black Lives Matter” tribute to Michael Brown written and performed by her son.

The visual featured him rap/singing, displaying a gift that could have helped him become something greater than the streets that claimed his life.

Brown’s mother also set up a GoFundMe to help fund her son’s funeral. She wrote:

“I wanted to update everyone that has asked about a date and time for services, the coroner has not released Vincent. Due to there being an active investigation, it could take 2+ weeks. I promise to release that information as soon as I have it. I do intend to have his Services at Fairmont Cemetery…where his grandma is resting.”

As of publishing, they have raised less than $2,000. The goal is $20,000.

RIP young man.

50 Cent Sends Message To The NAACP After Power Racks Up Wins

50 Cent is a businessman. Don’t you ever forget that.

The Queens multi-hyphenate took to his Instagram to drop a quick “Thank You” video to the NAACP for his wins during this year’s awards program.

The 52nd NAACP Image Awards blessed his team with three prestigious awards.

Queen of Hip-Hop Soul, Mary J. Blige took the award from Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for her work in “Power Book II: Ghost.”

Clifford Smith, Wu-Tang Clan’s Method Man, won the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series category for the same project — that also won the Outstanding Drama Series at the celebration.

50 was most eloquent when he said, “I’d like to thank the NAACP for recognizing the work of the cast and crew of Ghost: Michael Rainey, Mary J. Blige, Clifford Smith better known as “M-E-T-H-O-D Man.” We are excited that the fans are still continuing to support the Power universe.”

https://www.instagram.com/p/CM548wFnQnr/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

He captioned the video, “when it come to diversity the NAACP is all that matters, 🤔yeah that part ! 🚦Green light Gang #bransoncognac #lecheminduroi.”

“Power Book II: Ghost” is the first of several spin-offs from the hit Starz series, “Power.”

 

Are Nike And Lil Nas X Making An Air Satan Sneaker With Blood?

Are Nike And Lil Nas X Making An Air Satan Sneaker With Blood?

Lil Nas X is welcome to do whatever he wants in this world, as long as he’s not hurting anybody. And I am welcome not to do anything about it. So, last week in a last ditch effort to be relevant and not be a 1-hit wonder, this guy makes a video were he busts it open for Satan. I have not even bothered to watch it, it is so NOT what I am about. Satan….HELLLLLLLLLL NAH! Big Pun intended!

So, the internet is afire, because Lil Nas X (gotta say the whole name to respect the god Nas!) is supposedly going to create an Air Satan sneaker.  It swept all over the world. And the twist was: there was real blood in the sole. WTF!? I have good news and bad news. 

The good news is Nike has let the media know that they have NOTHING to do with this. They need to sue! Satan? Human blood? Wackness!? Nah, Nike is not with that. However, Lil Nas X and another company have collaborated and that is the bad news. This Lil Nas X Satan shoe is coming to life, because they are taking preexisting Nike shoes and customizing them. This includes blood. 

Not what I am cool with. Those of you that are cool with it, enjoy! 

I am not providing any more info on this.

I wonder what the king of evil thinks?

Famous Dex Hit With 19 Charges, Facing 18 Years In Prison

Famous Dex, 27, could be heading to prison because he’s facing over a dozen charges for some serious crimes.  

The rapper is facing 19 charges over three different incidents, ranging from domestic violence to gun possession.

Dex has finally been charged over an incident in November of 2020, when LAPD showed up at a house after receiving a call from his ex-girlfriend, claiming he had assaulted her.

The police feared Famous Dex was inside and armed with weapons because he had been flashing pictures of himself with a semi-automatic weapon on social media.

A SWAT team was called in to raid the house, but Famous Dex had already taken off.

According to TMZ, the cops have charged him with domestic violence, weapon possession, dissuading a victim from reporting a crime, and defacing property over the November incident.

Famous Dex is also being charged for an altercation with another woman in October. 

Apparently, an argument between Famous Dex and the woman became violent, resulting in more charges against the rapper.

For that fight, Famous Dex is charged with corporal injury domestic violence, threatening a domestic partner, exhibiting a firearm, inflicting bodily injury, dissuading a victim from reporting a crime, defacing property, and illegal possession of a firearm.

Finally, Famous Dex is looking at some serious charges over his arrest for possessing a gun earlier this month.

Dex, born Dexter Tiewon Gore, Jr., was a passenger in a vehicle in Los Angeles when police stopped his vehicle and found a loaded gun under his seat.

Famous Dex was quickly taken into custody and the cops threw the book at him. 

He’s charged with prohibited from possessing a firearm due to a restraining order, so they charged him for that plus possession of a firearm without a serial number.

In total, Famous Dex is looking at 18 years in prison. The charges end a dramatic month for Famous Dex. 

Earlier in March, thieves targeted the rapper in robbed him at gunpoint as he was on his way to a video shoot. Famous Dex was relieved of a $50,000 watch he had borrowed, as well as thousands of dollars in cash.

In January, Famous Dex was released from a rehab facility for abusing drugs.

Meet Jermaine Dupri’s New Artist: LaTheGoat

LaTheGoat is exactly what his name embodies: the GOAT. Hailing from Tampa, Florida, the rising star just inked his new deal with Def Jam through the legendary Jermaine Dupri and his joint venture So So Records… and it’s only up from here.

Describing himself, LA the GOAT states he’s “just a regular dude. Everyday s###, everyday ghetto, everyday struggle.”

After exploding onto the scene with his two projects, Goat Mode and Goat Mode Deluxe, it was the standout single “8 Bands” that left listeners in a frenzy. 

Released at the end of last year, “8 Bands” was recently revived after Rick Ross and Jermaine Dupri hopped on the remix. The original visual sees LAtheGoat on FaceTime with JD, chronicling early conversations before the signing.

After taking off locally in his city of Tampa Bay, LA was the only artist still getting booked for shows throughout the pandemic. During the quarantine, the East Coast spitter was inspired to start his own Instagram Live show called Goat Lounge, which upped the streaming numbers even further. 

AllHipHop caught up with LATheGoat at Record Plant Recording Studio in North Hollywood, while he has been locked in the lab creating. 

AllHipHop: What was the household like growing up in Tampa?

LaTheGoat: I got a lot of sisters. I got 6 sisters and a little brother, I’m the oldest. Life, it’s regular s###. I gotta be the big brother, I gotta sacrifice.

AllHipHop: When did music come into play?

LaTheGoat: I always liked music, but I started rapping 4 or 5 years ago. I’ve always been a big music fan. I used to rap on my own, but never to people. 

AllHipHop: Who were you listening to that made you fall in love with hip-hop? 

LaTheGoat: Rick Ross and J. Cole, out of them two.

AllHipHop: What do you like about Rick Ross?

LaTheGoat: His flow, his cadence, and the s### he talks about. He’s talking about everyday street s###, but he’s talking about it with a different vocabulary. He uses different words, his wordplay.

AllHipHop: At what point did you realize you could do music for a living? 

LaTheGoat: When I was doing it for free and I didn’t care. That’s when you feel like you could do it. You can make money off of it if you enjoy doing it for free already. If you’re spending money to make money, you gotta like it. 

AllHipHop: When did you start spending money to make music?

LaTheGoat: Probably 3 or 4 years ago. I had a few people trying to help, but it doesn’t ever last because they don’t see the bigger picture.

AllHipHop: What were you doing before the music?

LaTheGoat: Working jobs: call centers, getting fired. Warehouses, getting fired. Quitting. Regular s###.

AllHipHop: What‘d you get fired for?

LaTheGoat: I was always late, and I don’t really do good with people telling me what to do. I don’t want to come, don’t want to listen, because it’s a job. Nobody wants to go to work.

AllHipHop: How’d you get your name?

LaTheGoat: That’s my real name. Lader Andrews is my initials, so that’s LA. The Goat is ‘cause I feel like I’m the best at what I do. That’s my opinion on myself. I got what it takes.

AllHipHop: What sets you apart from the other rappers?

LaTheGoat: I don’t got no one style. I’m versatile. I can make melodic songs, lyrical songs, catchy songs, whatever I’m feeling at the moment.

AllHipHop: What did “8 Bands” do for your career?

LaTheGoat: It showed people that I ain’t f###### around, I’m here. He can make music as well. It wasn’t overnight, it was overnight to some people. It was out for a year, then the remix came out with Rick Ross.

AllHipHop: Oh Okay. Talk about it blowing up after a year, that says a lot too. 

LaTheGoat: It blew up, but it didn’t really blow up. It just got me signed. 

AllHipHop: I mean, that’s big.

LaTheGoat: Yeah, it is in a sense. Because I don’t really get excited until you start making them millions of dollars.

AllHipHop: Talk about getting signed. To Jermaine or to Def Jam?

LaTheGoat: To both, we got a partnership deal with Def Jam and So So Def. It’s exciting. It’s cool to work with legends, but it’ll be all the way when I started making all that crazy money. That’s when I’ll be excited for real, for real.

AllHipHop: How did JD find you?

LaTheGoat: It was through Instagram. I was rapping on “Money Ain’t A Thing,” his song with Jay Z. I had my followers tag him. He got enough tags where he came and he started double tapping. He found “8 Bands,” then we started DMing. That’s when we got the situation going.

AllHipHop: Just like that?

LaTheGoat: Yup. I was signed a month later. It’s exciting, but now it’s time for the real work. I ain’t really too excited. I’m young, I’m tryna get to work to where I could start being hyped.

AllHipHop: Jermaine’s big, that’s a huge co-sign.

LaTheGoat: Yeah, but you still got to work even when someone co-signs you. It’s dope, because he’s been around for a long time and he knows a lot. So I be getting game.

AllHipHop: Best piece of advice he told you?

LaTheGoat: Save your money. You gotta save your money. He lets you know “you’re gonna make a lot of money so you gotta save your money. Because you ain’t gonna always be making a lot of money.”

AllHipHop: What’s the energy in the studio with him? I know he’s supposed to pull up today.

LaTheGoat: It be a vibe. Definitely a vibe because he likes good music and I like good music, it goes hand in hand. I’m no excited type of dude, let’s just do it. Let’s work, let’s get it done. After we get all the accolades, then okay, now we could be excited. If we working, we put out music and it doesn’t do nothing, I’m just an artist who work with Jermaine Dupri.

AllHipHop: Can you define good music?

LaTheGoat: It’s whatever makes you think and listen, take you to a place. 

AllHipHop: You just released a music video for “For Me.” Bring us back to that recording session.

LaTheGoat: It’s how all the sessions be, just a vibe. Smoking weed, eating, talking about regular life s### and we started recording. We recorded In Tampa, at Grand Bay Studio.

AllHipHop: Were you in Memphis doing scams?

LaTheGoat: Nah, that’s just rap music. Not me. It sounded good.

AllHipHop: Where was the video shot?

LaTheGoat: It was shot at this little club called D’Luxe in Tampa. We’re vibing with everybody. Everybody was vibing in the video, no BS. No drama or nothing. 

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

LaTheGoat: Some real s###, real life s###. Not no Lamborghini’s, I don’t like any of that s### all the time. When I get one then I’ll rap about one, but people get tired of hearing that. Just real s###.

AllHipHop: What does music mean to you?

LaTheGoat: It just makes me vibe. Good music makes you chill, so I be chillin’. 

AllHipHop: Talk about getting Rick Ross on the “8 Bands” remix, and JD’s on it too. 

LaTheGoat: Yeah I was excited for that for the moment. I ain’t gonna lie, when I first heard it, yeah that’s hard! But it’s time for the real world. We gotta put it up, we gotta make sure it is streaming.

AllHipHop: How did the collab come about?

LaTheGoat: Well I’m from Florida and I’m signed to Def Jam, he’s from Florida and he’s the only other rapper that signed to Def Jam from Florida. It was right on time.

AllHipHop: What was your reaction when you heard his verse?

LaTheGoat: I was excited because he did his thing. It wasn’t no weak verse, I was hyped. But again, it’s time to work. It’s time to put it out and shoot a video and all that.

AllHipHop: What are you striving to achieve?

LaTheGoat: To make as much money as I can being an artist because that’s what it’s all about at the end of the day. It’s about the passion too, but passion don’t pay no bills. There’s a lot of people I want to help. ‘Cause everyone’s alright, but I want to make sure they’re super alright.

AllHipHop: What would you be doing if you weren’t doing music?

LaTheGoat: I’d probably be an online video game player or something. I like to play games: Call of Duty, 2K, Madden. I’m not really a Fortnite fan.

AllHipHop: Is there something fans may not know about you?

LaTheGoat: I’m flat-footed. [laughs] My feet are wide. They’re flat, there’s no arch in my feet. My feet hurt sometimes in shoes.

AllHipHop: Top 5 artists in rotation?

LaTheGoat: I like DaBaby, Lil Baby, Kodak, Pooh Shiesty, and Young Thug. I like Kodak because he makes vibing music. It’s good vibes. It is not to punch line-y, none of that, he just vibes.

AllHipHop: What can we expect next?

LaTheGoat: We’re trying to decide which single we gonna put out now. It’s between 4 or 5. Hopefully soon, we have it narrowed down.

Man Arrested For Shootout At Circle K – And Then Writing A Rap About It

A millennial man named Delanie Jamal Battle-Donson was arrested on March 25th, after shooting at a group of bikers Sunday in Escambia County and barricading himself inside his home in Gonzales, Florida.

Interestingly enough, the 32-year-old wrote a rap song detailing the dramatic event.

The shooting happened on Sunday (March 21st) at a Circle K gas station on Nine Mile Road near I-10.

A group of bikers was pumping up when Battle-Donson arrived driving his white Honda Civic. Somehow the young man got into an argument with one of the bikers and it ended up in fisticuffs.

After the fight was broken up, Battle-Donson jumped into his car, “looped back around the gas station” and started letting off. It has been reported that one of the motorcyclists busted back, though no one was injured.

The police received a search warrant for Battle-Donson’s home and found the gun used at the shooting. They also found lyrics to Battle-Donson’s song called “Shots Fired/Strike Back” that seems to have incriminated the suspect.

The deputies’ report said, “The lyrics of the song are a play-by-play of the events of the shooting at Circle K.”

Talk about art imitating life.

According to the local ABC news affiliate, Battle-Donson has been charged with three counts of aggravated assault with a firearm, one count of criminal mischief (felony), and one count of criminal mischief (misdemeanor).

He is currently in the Escambia County Jail, locked up without bond.

Lil Nas X Checks Trolls Claiming His Video With The Devil Is As Bad As Slavery And The Holocaust

Lil Nas X is the latest artist to come under fire by the right, for expressing his sexuality.

For the past two weeks, conservatives have been up in arms over a raunchy performance by Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion at the Grammy Awards. 

Cardi’s performance of “Up” and “WAP” made talking heads like Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens furious, due to the graphic display of lust and sexuality in front of a national audience. 

Lil Nas X must have been taking notes, and preparing himself for the backlash over his latest video “MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name),” which features the rapper in the garden of Eden, surrounded by sin and temptation. 

 Lil Nas X ends up in chains and gets stoned to death.W hen presented with the option between heaven or hell, Lil Nas X chooses the latter. 

While he’s enjoying purgatory, the “Old Town Road” hitmaker grinds on Satan and even gives Beelzebub a lap dance.

While he’s been mostly praised for being an openly gay Black man, Lil Nas X has been receiving some pushback over the video. 

Twitter user @robbystarbuck said: “It’s just sick and depraved and an attempt to destroy our society.”

Lil Nas X took offense to the comment.

 

“There is a mass shooting every week that our government does nothing to stop. me sliding down a cgi pole isn’t what’s destroying society,” the 21-year-old rap star quipped, referencing recent mass shootings in Georgia, and Colorado. 

Rap star Big Sean also commended Lil Nas X for his fearlessness. 

“The creativity n confidence to do you fully is my favorite part! Keep rockin bro,” Big Sean told Lil Nas X who replied: “Wow bro thanks! means a lot coming from you! i’m blasting deep reverence today!”

Kim Kardashian Having Difficult Time Divorcing Kanye According To Her Mom

Kim Kardashian is having a difficult time during the process of divorcing her soon-to-be ex-husband.

Kim filed for divorce in February of 2021, citing “irreconcilable differences,” after seven years of marriage to Kanye, which produced four children: North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm.

News of Kimye’s divorce has made headlines around the world. 

Kim’s mom Kris Jenner and her sister Khloe said the divorce process was taking a toll on her on the last episode of “Keeping Up With The Kardashians.”

“I just feel like she’s struggling a bit with all the stuff going on,” Kris Jenner said during the second episode of the 20th season of the reality show.

Kanye has been silent on Twitter since November, after his failed attempt to become President of the United States.

But the rap star did serious damage to his marriage in July of 2020, during his campaign kickoff event in South Carolina, when he revealed Kim K. had considered aborting their oldest child North.

Kanye – who suffers from bipolar disorder – also fired off a series of incendiary tweets, in which he likened his life to the horror movie “Get Out,” in addition to labeling Kim’s mom “Kris Jong-Un.”

He eventually apologized and took down the offensive tweets.

During the same episode of “KUWTK,” Khloe revealed Kanye West contacted her during the divorce proceedings, and she gave him a reality check. 

“He said, ‘It would be nice to be able to say things…’ I said, ‘Yeah, say what you want to say. Maybe it’ll start people thinking a certain way or getting a thought in their head, but did you have to say those tweets publicly?'”

So far, the couple’s split appears to be amicable, although reports suggest Kanye is having a difficult time with the divorce as well, which should be expected, since they spent almost a decade together. 

Now the couple is living separate lives.

Kim has been residing in their $40 million mansion in Hidden Hills, California, where she is expected to live with the four children.

Kanye has been holed up at his massive estate in Cody, Wyoming where he is laser-focused on co-parenting with Kim, in addition to building out his partnerships with Adidas and The Gap.
