Travis Scott Reportedly Faces Investigation For COVID-19 Violations

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY) Updated Feb 25, 2021 at 7:55amCategory: News

Will Travis Scott be the latest celebrity to deal with the consequences of being too social during the COVID-19 pandemic? The “Sicko Mode” rapper’s special pop-up shop in West Hollywood may have violated local coronavirus regulations.

According to TMZ, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works is looking into Scott’s gathering earlier this week. Apparently, the 29-year-old entertainer was not issued a permit for the “Cactus Jack Newsstand” event that saw a large crowd of his supporters converge in the area.

The outlet is also reporting that Public Works officials are planning to consult with the City Attorney’s office. Scott could be fined once an investigation is completed. Previously, Scott was hit with a fine last September for not having a permit for an impromptu function at a McDonald’s location in Downey, California.

Travis Scott and his fans at the WeHo event were celebrating the Houston native covering the “Utopia” issue of i-D magazine which included the publication and the recording artist partnering to create the “i-D x Cactus Jack” limited edition merch collaboration.

In recent months, other music stars such as Trey Songz and Bow Wow have also made headlines for possibly violating COVID-19 restrictions by taking part in large gatherings. Bow Wow eventually offered a mea culpa to Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner by writing on Twitter, in part, “I understand the time we are living in so I apologize.”

Sada Baby On Getting “Canceled”: Nicki Minaj’s Barbz Fanbase Is Like A Cult

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY) Updated Feb 25, 2021 at 7:05amCategory: News

Fanaticism has been part of the music business for decades. Beatlemania led to extreme levels of hysteria from Beatles fans, and the King of Pop Michael Jackson caused his fans to pass out just by seeing the man step onto a stage.

Eminem immortalized the maniac fan with his 2000 song “Stan” which later became a term embraced by super-fans of celebrities. With the introduction of social media, “stans” can now be a source of positive support or a mob armed with digital pitchforks.

Sada Baby apparently became the target of a particular fanbase. Last October, he was facing accusations of being colorist, homophobic, and misogynistic after his tweets from 2011 resurfaced. One tweet read, “I wanna slip [one of my followers] a roofie [and] rape her ass all night.” Another read, “I hate dark skinned [people].”

At first, the Detroit-raised rapper downplayed the situation by claiming he did not care that people were offended by his old tweets. However, the then-27-year-old rhymer took to Instagram to offer a 3-minute video apology where he said, “I don’t stand on none of them views. Them views is not the Sada of today.”

This week, the “Whole Lotta Choppas” performer was on Adam22’s No Jumper podcast. Sada Baby talked about how that song’s remix with Nicki Minaj played a role in him supposedly being “canceled” on Twitter four months ago.

When one of Minaj’s followers demanded on Instagram that Sada Baby do more to promote his collaboration with the Queens-bred rapstress, he responded to the person by saying, “Suck my dick f##### ass fan page.” Those seven words were the catalyst for Barbz and others to go back through his tweets in order to find any problematic posts.

“I had to apologize and all that type of s###,” Sada Baby told Adam22. “The crazy thing is, what I said is some s### that I probably said like five times earlier that week. I think there was so much going on with the song, and her fanbase is like a cult.” He added, “They went and found old ass tweets. I’m like, ‘Damn, I said that?'”

Sada also offered, “The s### that they went and found, at the time, I’m like, ‘Yeah.’ But I was young though. When I was young, half the retarded s### a n#### would say, he was believing it… I think at one point in time on Twitter that was the thing to do at like, 4 o’clock in the morning… It was like a competition to say the worst s###.”

CyHi Drops “Black Superhero” Performance Video From ‘Barcode’ Series

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY) Updated Feb 25, 2021 at 5:57amCategory: News

CyHi recently shared that he had a very traumatic experience when he was the apparent victim of attempted murder. He wrote on Instagram, “Somebody tried to gun me down on the highway. I tried everything I could do to lose them, but they were [adamant] about taking me off this Earth.”

While the Atlanta-based rapper/songwriter expressed he is thankful for surviving the life-threatening ordeal, CyHi is now trying to once again focus on his God-given talents. Yesterday (February 24), the veteran emcee released the new “Black Superhero” performance video.

The “Black Superhero” visual was taken from an upcoming episode of CyHi’s Barcode digital series. He premiered the first 30-minute installment of Barcode on the Tidal streaming service in November. The show features appearances by B. Simone, Emmanuel Hudson, Desi Banks, Nav, Karlous, Phillip Hudson, Chico Bean, Wallo267, and more.

“I’ve been kept silent for a while, just biding my time, but now I’m ready to start sharing myself in a way I haven’t done before,” stated CyHi back in November. “Barcode has allowed me to showcase my screenwriting skills and acting ability in the most creative and impactful way possible.”

CyHi (formerly known as CyHi the Prynce) is responsible for creating the well-received Black Hystori Project, Black Hystori Project 2: N.A.A.C.P., and No Dope on Sundays. He also was heavily involved in writing songs for Kanye West’s Yeezus and The Life of Pablo albums. The 36-year-old lyricist also contributed to G.O.O.D. Music’s Cruel Summer compilation.

Prior to his passing, Pop Smoke dropped the Meet the Woo and Meet the Woo 2 mixtapes. His posthumous album Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, making the New Yorker just the fourth Hip Hop act in history to posthumously hit Number One following The Notorious B.I.G., 2Pac, and XXXTentacion.

‘Yo! MTV Raps’ Set To Return On The Paramount+ Streaming Platform

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY) Updated Feb 25, 2021 at 4:39amCategory: News

One of the most influential television shows in Hip Hop history is coming back to the small screen. ViacomCBS announced that Yo! MTV Raps will be available on Paramount+ after the streaming platform officially launches on March 4.

The original Yo! MTV Raps ran on MTV in the United States from 1988 to 1995. Additional versions of the series were created for other markets around the world. The return of Yo! MTV Raps will include hosted segments, live performances, cyphers, and lifestyle content.

In addition, Paramount+ will be the home of the classic music shows Behind the Music from VH1 and Unplugged from MTV. A new six-part, unscripted television series from director Dave Grohl, titled From Cradle to Stage, is part of the lineup as well.

“We are thrilled to re-invent some of our most storied and impactful music franchises, including Behind the Music and Yo! MTV Raps, for Paramount+,” states Bruce Gilmer, ViacomCBS President of Music, Music Talent, Programming & Events.

Gilmer adds, “In addition, we will partner with some of the biggest names across the music industry to bring exclusive and unique content to the platform, such as Dave Grohl’s Cradle to Stage based on his mom’s critically-acclaimed book, and many more to come.”

Yo! MTV Raps helped introduce Hip Hop culture to a wider audience. Many of the rap stars of the 1980s and 1990s gained international exposure from their appearances on the show. Legendary Hip Hop presenters Fab 5 Freddy, Ed Lover, and Doctor Dré once served as hosts for the MTV program.

Pharrell Williams Gets Extremely Emotional After Learning About Family’s Roots In Slavery

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Feb 24, 2021 at 10:04pmCategory: News

Pharrell Williams has been known for his efforts to celebrate being “human.”

However, he has always known that the world sees him as a Black man. Dr. Henry Louis Gates, Jr., through his “Finding Your Roots” PBS program, helped the “Happy” multi-hyphenate connect even further with his Blackness and all the strength that he can lean on from his past, to make his future even more powerful.

In a clip, Williams is asked by Gates if he ever wondered about the origins of his surname, Williams. And was told that it was derived from a man named William B. Williams.

Pharrell replied, “I knew … it’s not an African name. I knew we got it from somewhere. You know, when you start to fill in the blanks, it just intensifies. It puts a very vivid, intense context behind what it means to be African American.”

“And I thank God I got to hear it … but I’m so sorry that they went through this … It’s a lot man. I have to say I’m forever changed.”

This change is an evolution of what was already there. Pharrell’s work to honor Black contributions are just as profound as his statements in his universal human movement.

He has played a major part in working with the Virginia Governor Ralph Northam to make Juneteenth a permanent paid state holiday.

Hit Producer Mr. Lee Creating New Documentary On His Great Grandfather Who Pioneered Flight Before The Wright Brothers

By: Kershaw St. Jawnson Updated Feb 24, 2021 at 9:50pmCategory: News

Most people don’t know that a Black man was the first to create and receive a patent for the airplane. Bet you didn’t know that said Black man has a direct connection to Tupac, Do or Die, Scarface and so man more.

Well, Hip-Hop producer, Mr. Lee is working to make sure everyone knows this bit of Black History. And he has a reason to be so passionate about informing the masses: it’s his great grandfather that we are talking about.

The multi-platinum music producer, who has worked with Pac, Nipsey Hussle, Scarface, Slim Thug, Trae tha Truth, and many more, is a direct relative to Charles Frederick Page (1864-1937).

According to FOX8Live, Page and the Wright brothers were testing their models the same year (1903) but the Black man was the first to receive a patent for what he called his “airship” in 1906. It was even covered in the paper, a huge marker for this young inventor.

New Orleans’ Times-Democrat newspaper noted on April 21, 1906, in an article entitled, “Pineville Colored Man Has Invented An Air Ship,” the following:

“Charles F. Page, a colored citizen of Pineville, and a native of that town, aged about 31 years, has for a number of years been engaged in trying to invent an airship. He first made an application for a patent on April 24, 1903, and has now secured a U.S. Patent which was issued to him on April 10, 1906.”

“The Town Talk was shown Wednesday a copy of the patent which gives a description of the invention. After an examination, we feel confident that the invention is one of merit, and many ideas brought out by the inventor entirely new, and we believe that with this invention of the navigation of the air, in a safe manner, is nearer insight than it has ever been.”

And continued, “The strength of the invention is, that the main portion of the machine is boat-shaped, made of wire, and covered with strong canvass. The lifting air balloons are two in number and are strongly fastened in the hull of the boat, with proper values to permit gas to be pumped in or out of the balloons, to give or take away buoyancy as desired. The balloons are fastened securely to the wired boat. Attached to the boat is a rudder for steering purposes, and it also has a propeller, operated with a gas motor, which can be used to send the airship in any direction.”

“There are many other new things in this invention which we do not have the time or space to enumerate, but anyone who sees the model and has knowledge of mechanical contrivances can see that inventor Page has made a valuable addition to air navigation machines.”

It was noted that Page wanted to share it at the World’s Fair for a cash prize of $100,000 but the craft was stolen and destroyed before he could get it there.

As an in-house producer at Rap-A-Lot, Mr. Lee was connected to a lot of stars and history makers.

Yet, it is his own blood that probably is the biggest star of them all.

Charles Frederick Page is more than just a Black History celebrant, but a world history icon.

Brit Rapper Lady Leshurr Was Offered A Huge Amount Of Cash To Diss Nicki Minaj

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Feb 24, 2021 at 8:02pmCategory: News

British rapper Lady Leshurr was offered $352,000 to call Nicki Minaj out on a diss track.

The “Queen’s Speech” star admits she couldn’t believe the record label offer but couldn’t take up the challenge – because she was such a fan of Nicki.

“I didn’t know Nicki Minaj then, we never spoke or anything like that,” Leshurr, who is currently starring in the British TV hit “Dancing On Ice” told the “Thanks A Million With Angela Scanlon” podcast. “I’d seen her journey and thought she was amazing.

“I’ve never been the type of person to pull another female down that’s doing their thing. That to me is so cringey. It turns my stomach thinking about it, because some people do that.

“I like to be in my own zone, in my own lane, minding my own business and doing what makes me happy, never trying to pull people down in the process.”

The rapper admits the deal made her cry, adding, “All I’d thought about was buying my mom a house and that would’ve been the right amount of money.”

And she’s quick to mention that her passion for protecting the planet has led her to make the line “99 percent plastic-free”.

“As you may know, personal care is one of my passions, but so is sustainability,” Jada shared in the video on Tuesday (23Feb21), before quickly giving a shout out to another of the family’s business moguls, her son Jaden, who owns a company that supplies eco-friendly water.

“As a family, we’ve loved supporting Jaden on his journey with Just Water. And now we have Hey Humans, which I am proud to present as the first personal care brand to be 99 percent plastic-free across category. We have toothpaste, deodorant, body wash, and lotion, all in the collection, exclusively available at Target. And all the products are under $6. Our scents are gender-neutral and formulated with naturally derived, upcycled ingredients to best respect our planet’s resources.”

The footage also featured Jada out walking and relaxing at home, while husband Will got into the promotional fun, too, sharing his own video on Instagram, in which he tried out Hey Humans toothpaste.

“This is Clean Mint Rush whitening toothpaste,” Will smiles, as he squeezes the paste onto his brush, and then keeps talking while cleaning his teeth as subtitles are added, explaining “the tubes are made from aluminum and the tops from plastic waste”, and that the product “comes in fluoride and non-fluoride” versions.

“Give it a shot, you won’t be disappointed!,” the Men in Black actor added, “Jada changed out all the products in the bathrooms in the house so nobody’s allowed to use nothin’ else!”

Lil Uzi Vert Working With Blink-182 and Pharrell On New Collaboration

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Feb 24, 2021 at 4:00pmCategory: News

Rapper Lil Uzi Vert is stepping into the world of rock by recording a new track with Blink-182.

The band’s drummer, Travis Barker, has revealed the group has recruited Pharrell Williams to produce a song on their upcoming album, and it features a guest verse from Uzi.

“There’s a song with Uzi that’s really, really cool that we did with Pharrell,” he told Spotify’s “Rock This” with Allison Hagendorf podcast.

“I mean, it’s not like Blink’s making a rap song or anything. It’s like bringing Uzi over to our world. So it’s more of a punk kind of like reggae-feeling song.”

“I don’t think Blink will ever be anything but a pop-punk band,” Barker added. “That’s who we are, and I feel like our fans have journeyed with us when we’ve done songs like Miss You or ballads like Adam’s Song.”

Uzi isn’t the first rapper Blink-182 have worked with – they previously collaborated and toured with Lil Wayne, while Barker has worked with hip-hop star Trippie Redd, executive producing his new project NEON SHARK vs. Pegasus.

The new Blink-182 album, the follow-up to 2019’s Nine, will also include a tune with singer Grimes, which Barker describes as “really, really cool.”

The rockers are currently working to complete the project, ahead of a release later this year.

Travis Scott Explains How Becoming A Dad Has Changed His Life

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Feb 24, 2021 at 3:04pmCategory: News

Becoming a father to daughter Stormi has altered Travis Scott’s approach to his career.

The “Sicko Mode” rapper has admitted that not only has his three-year-old girl – whom he has with “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” star Kylie Jenner – been a “major” source of “inspiration for his music, but she also made him realize he needed to take “more responsibility” for his platform because young eyes and ears are consuming more than previous generations ever did.

In a wide-ranging interview with director Robert Rodriguez for i-D magazine, Travis said: “Fatherhood influences my job. It’s a major inspiration, you know what I’m saying? Especially Storm, she’s just acting like a kid. She’s always interested, she catches on and learns things and adapts to things so fast.”

He continued: “Stormi’s generation is way different from mine, and she’s way different from my younger brother and sister.

“Kids show you a different outlook on life, how they view things, the type of pressures they have and what makes them happy, what makes them move… She realizes she’s there, she’s ready to see now. I realized my job is way more important than what I thought because of her. More responsibility, you know? You’ve got to use that properly.”

The 28-year-old hip-hop megastar added that he doesn’t “live for myself anymore” and prioritizes his daughter over everything else.

“I was already going so hard for the fans and now, oh man, Stormi, it’s like … I love that,” he added.

One way the “Highest In The Room” hitmaker has used his platform to benefit others is by offering students scholarships as part of his foundation.

Travis set up The Cactus Jack Foundation to give back to the local community, while he also set up the Waymon Webster Scholarship – which he named after his grandad – in 2020.

Speaking about why he decided to set up the foundation, he said last year (20): “My grandfather wanted me to take it all the way through college, I feel there is a power in education so to be able to give someone the opportunity to fulfill that dream as my papa thought for me is amazing.”

Travis offered the students financial support for their tuition fees, as well as helping those who are struggling amidst the coronavirus pandemic.

Michael B. Jordan Says Chadwick Boseman’s Death Made Him Cry The Most This Year

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Feb 24, 2021 at 2:05pmCategory: News

Michael B. Jordan has opened up on the impact of losing his “Black Panther” co-star Chadwick Boseman, admitting it made him cry often.

In an interview for Vanity Fair’s 27th Annual Hollywood issue published on Tuesday (February 23rd), for which Michael appears on the gatefold cover of the magazine alongside stars Charlize Theron, Zendaya, Sacha Baron Cohen, Michaela Coel, LaKeith Stanfield, Maya Rudolph, Awkwafina and Dan Levy, the “Creed” star shared the loss of Chadwick, who died of cancer last August aged 43, “hurt a lot.”

“Losing Chadwick. Our relationship was a very personal one and had a lot of great moments—some that I couldn’t fully appreciate and fully understand until now, ” the 31-year-old told Vanity Fair when asked what made him cry hardest this year. “I wish I had more time to have our relationship evolve, and grow, and become closer and stronger.”

He continued: “We got a concentrated dose of Chadwick. He did more in his 43 years of life than most people have done in a lifetime. And he was here for the time he was supposed to be here, and he had his impact and his legacy.

“That was clear with the abundance of love that he has gotten from people all over the world. There are generations of kids coming up that look to him. It’s incredible. And losing him was…Yeah, man, it hurt. It hurt a lot. That’s probably what made me cry the most this year.”

As well as praising “Da 5 Bloods” actor for being “an incredible person,” Michael extended it to salute the late star’s wife, Simone Ledward, and his family, describing them as “strong” and “truly special people.”

“He’s an incredible person. His family and his wife are so strong,” he stated. “The people that he had around him are truly special people.

“To keep something like this quiet for so long—our town is nearly impossible to do something like that in. It speaks to the type of person he was, to work as hard as he did into his last moments. It’s truly incredible.”

Cardi B Explains How Plastic Surgery Boosted Her Confidence And Changed Her Life

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Feb 24, 2021 at 1:03pmCategory: News

Cosmetic surgery helped Cardi B overcome her childhood insecurities.

Now 28, the rapper admits she had a miserable childhood and was bullied for her “skinny” looks.

In a new chat with Mariah Carey for Interview magazine, the “WAP” hitmaker says, “I was really skinny when I was younger, and in the Bronx, it’s about being thick and having an ass, so young boys would be like, ‘Look at your flat ass. You ain’t got no t######’. And it would make me feel so ugly and undeveloped.”

But, thanks to a few nips, tucks, and enhancements, Cardi feels good about herself – and her success.

“I feel so vindicated,” she tells Mariah. “Even when I was 18 and became a dancer, I had enough money to afford to buy boobs, so every insecurity that I felt about my breasts was gone.

“When I was 20, I went to the urban strip club, and in the urban strip clubs, you had to have a big butt, so I felt insecure about that. It took me back to high school. So I got my ass done. And then I felt super confident.

“When I was younger, I didn’t really know how to take care of my hair. So now I make my own hair mask and take care of my natural hair, and it makes me feel better, like what people were saying about me isn’t true.”

Cardi shows off her assets in the Interview cover photo, wearing nothing but thigh-high gold armor boots, covering up her breasts and genitals with well-placed arms.

In the interview, she also tells Carey she started stripping to support her marijuana habit, adding, “I needed the f###### money. I was living with my boyfriend at the time, but he wasn’t doing s###. I used to smoke weed back then, so I felt like weed was necessary. I wanted money for weed and to move out. I just wanted enough money to rent a room. That’s how desperate I was to get the f### out of the situation I was in.”

Tiger Woods Surgery A Success After Horrific Car Crash

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Feb 24, 2021 at 12:42pmCategory: News

Tiger Woods is “awake and responsive” after successfully undergoing a “long surgical procedure” on his right leg and ankle following a horror car crash on Tuesday (February 23rd).

The sportsman had to be cut out of his Genesis 80 sports utility vehicle after it smashed into trees near Rancho Palos Verdes, California.

He was taken to the nearby Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, where he underwent surgery, and his team released a statement on Wednesday on Twitter, which read: “We thank everyone for the overwhelming support and messages during this tough time…He has undergone a long surgical procedure on his lower right leg and ankle after being brought to the hospital.”

It also included a statement from his physician, Dr. Anish Mahajan, who said: “Mr. Woods suffered significant orthopedic injuries to his right lower extremity that were treated during emergency surgery by Orthopedic trauma specialists at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, a level 1 trauma center. “Comminuted open fractures affecting both the upper and lower portions of the tibia and fibula bones were stabilized by inserting a rod into the tibia. Additional injuries to the bones of the foot and ankle were stabilized with a combination of screws and pins. Trauma to the muscle and soft-tissue of the leg required surgical release of the covering of the muscles to relieve pressure due to swelling.”

According to the statement, Woods is “currently awake, responsive and recovering in his hospital room”.

Following news of the crash, Woods’ ex-girlfriend Lindsey Vonn was among those sending her prayers, while Rachel Uchitel – with whom the golfer had a brief affair which triggered a reputation-denting meltdown and the end of his marriage to Swedish model Elin Nordegren.- admitted she was “shaken” by the incident, and wondered how it would affect his career in the long run.

“He’s an athlete and his legs are essential to his sport and to him being who he is and he’s already had trouble with his body up until this point,” she told the New York Post. “He didn’t need any more injuries.”

Woods is one of the world’s most famous golfers and holds many records in the sport. He is tied for first in the amount of PGA Tour wins by any golfer and is also ranked in second in men’s major championships.

K. Michelle and her Butt!

I did not wanna write this but I see that it is already a thing on social media so I am going in. We saw K. Michelle‘s butt fall out! I am sorry if I have to be critical of her or even just malign her, but it looked so crazy. She was on her Instagram live twerking and dancing and her butt looks like it just dropped!

Take a look!

Her butt fell out, and it was quite a sight. It is difficult to talk about this because of the political correctness that exists in media and society but people definitely had something to say. One dude said, “So we’re just going to ignore the fact that K Michelle‘s a## fell out on live?” And you know the other comments weren’t even as nice as that!

Well K. Michelle did not ignore the Furrer around her and she even took to Twitter to comment! She said that she has open stitches in her at this very moment and fights through pain as she is healing! She is open about the plastic surgery that she has received in the past and is looking to rectify that now. In the meantime, she continues to enjoy her life as an alllllll accomplished singer and now producer.

Here’s what she said:

“So the video of me dancing is sad that I even have 2explain. I walked y’all through how difficult this process of removing silicone from my body for 3YEARS/16 surgeries Did we not forget I almost died due 2this?????? Now i’m in the process of 3 reconstruction steps. What u saw in the video was a happy woman with a faja and my extra fat! I’ve been very open so I can heal ladies. I didn’t have to tell anybody and I could’ve covered up until the process was done,but NO. Ladies need to see and hear the truth. I decided to use my platform to help. I havent bothered anyone Ive been out of the way so What I dont understand is what was the purpose or what was so entertaining about a woman FINALLY bein able 2walk again with EXTRA fat from the removal.I saw the comments and of course it was Black women filled with so much hate” “Oh fun fact in the video and still right now I have [stitches] in me and a open wound that we have 2care 4 every morning.

Man, shout out to Que Michelle! She keeps us talking, but she still beautiful to me! I would like to see what her butt looks like since it’s all being talked about right now! LOL!

No Charges Or Lawsuits Have Been Filed Against T.I.: What Does It Mean?

By: illseed Updated Feb 24, 2021 at 11:18amCategory: Rumors

It looks like Tiny and T.I. might just get out of this scandal alive and intact. Remember, they ALWAYS maintained their innocence and said loudly that nobody was ever raped by them/him. The couple had been previously accused of numerous infractions dealing with sex, drugs, and even sexual assault. The charges only seem to get worse as more and more allegations came out from more and more people. Presumably.

As time has gone on, and the alleged victims appeared to lawyer up, it seemed as though things were bleak for Tip and Tiny. Although it seems like that, maybe that is not the case. As of the present time there have been no charges filed against either of the two. Also it has been extremely quiet in the press, social media and normal legal proceedings. This means no lawsuits have been filed either, per TheJasmineBrand. The cops have not even been CONTACTED!

Former friend Sabrina Peterson accused T.I. of holding a gun to her head and then, through social media, she promoted numerous other women that claim to have experienced some sort of impropriety from the rap mogul. Some of those women were complete fabrications. There was so much talk on social media that it seem to be eminent that somebody was going to press charges or file a report, but that just didn’t happen. I am deeply concerned with this because it seems like people are being tried and convicted in the court of public opinion! Once again!

Are T.I. And Tiny Being Set Up?

I have a hard time thinking that this is not something we should worry about for the future and present, because it just seems to happen over and over and over again. This is not to say that somebody is not telling the truth, but it is simply to over-stress that we have to have proof and truth when somebody is making an accusation. You have to back that up with something!

In the past, based on the timing of all of this, I felt as though perhaps there was some sort of political conspiracy against T.I., Because he was one of the instrumental artists that helped turn Georgia blue. This is not something that can be understated! Remember the NFAC had some march down in Stone Mountain, Georgia because there was a Klan haven there that was very threatening to the immediate Black community? They also had to go down and help out in the area in which there was other racist activity in ATL, Georgia. Now the leader of the NFAC is under duress over some nonsense! So this is not something to be taken light! These forces that are looking to suppress and oppress us work differently than the old days of the Ku Klux Klan.

“Whoopty” Rapper CJ Gets Questioned On How He Responds To Online Hate

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY) Updated Feb 24, 2021 at 8:58amCategory: News

Earlier this year, Staten Island-raised rapper Christopher “CJ” Soriano Jr saw his name etched into the Top 10 of the Hot 100 for the first time. His breakout single “Whoopty” has already spent 15 weeks on the Billboard chart, peaking at #10.

It is rare that success in the music industry happens without some type of controversy associated with the artist. CJ is not the exception. The newcomer faced accusations of being an “industry plant” because he is reportedly related to James Cruz who is a longtime music business insider.

CJ was also hit with accusations that he was pretending to be aligned with the Bloods without actually being initiated into a set. There was also talk that real Bloods members were upset that CJ was trying to establish his entertainment brand off of false connections to the street gang that was founded in Los Angeles.

Certain sectors of the internet ran with both of those rumors which led to some people blasting CJ on social media for being fake. Apple Music’s Ebro Darden recently spoke to the New Yorker about the release of his Loyalty over Royalty EP. The conversation also included CJ being asked about dealing with online negativity.

“There’s no response. I don’t pay that no mind,” said CJ. “Everybody got an opinion, you can’t satisfy everybody. I’m gonna keep doing what I do, and elevating, and perfecting my craft. I don’t really pay no mind to what the internet’s saying. I’m good on this side.”

Loyalty over Royalty landed on DSPs on February 19. The 8-track project features French Montana, and the Warner Records release hosts “Whoopty” on the tracklist. That body of work is short on guest appearances, but CJ told Darden he plans to collaborate with Brooklyn’s J.I the Prince of N.Y. soon. He also wants to work with A Boogie wit da Hoodie, Lil Tjay, Cardi B, and 50 Cent.

Travis Scott Talks Pressure To Follow Up ‘Astroworld’ & COVID Pandemic Impacting His Creativity

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY) Updated Feb 24, 2021 at 7:50amCategory: News

There can be a lot of pressure on a recording artist after he or she drops a triple-Platinum, Grammy-nominated instant classic. Will the creator successfully follow up on that well-received body of work? Travis Scott is currently in that space.

The Houston rhymer’s Astroworld arrived on the scene in 2018 by debuting at #1 on the Billboard 200 with 537,000 first-week units. The LP garnered another 205,000 units in its second week to remain atop the chart which angered Nicki Minaj and her Barbz fanbase.

Despite Astroworld becoming one of the best-selling and most acclaimed albums of that year, Scott insisted he does not feel burdened by his own musical triumphs. Filmmaker Robert Rodriguez (From Dusk till Dawn, Spy Kids) interviewed the Cactus Jack Records founder for i-D, and he asked his fellow Texan about feeling pressure to succeed.

“I don’t feel no pressure, except to keep the fans alive. There’s so much more ground I can cover, and I want to cover it, and I love the challenge of it. I want to make a f###### new sound. I might spend days banging my head against a wall trying to figure it out, but once I do it, it’s like ultimate ecstasy,” said Scott.

Travis Scott’s connection with his followers is partly based on the live show experience. The “Sicko Mode” performer’s “Astroworld – Wish You Were Here Tour” grossed more than $34.3 million during the first 32 dates of the trek. Netflix later released a documentary about the album and tour called Look Mom I Can Fly.

The COVID-19 pandemic essentially shut down the tour industry for nearly all of 2020. At the moment, there is no clear sign of when artists can go back on the road. Rodriguez wanted to know how else did the COVID era affect Scott’s creative process.

“It made me way more productive,” answered Scott. “You know, you’re not doing any shows. You not really doing too much traveling. You in the crib, and I got the studio at home and I have the peace to record all day, you know? Obviously like, you lose a little bit by not being able to travel and, you know, just see the earth.”

Since the release of Astroworld, Travis Scott tallied three more #1 singles on Billboard‘s Hot 100. “Highest in the Room,” “The Scotts” with Kid Cudi, and “Franchise” with Young Thug and M.I.A. each debuted in the chart’s pole position before quickly slipping down the rankings.

The immediate chart success of those records suggests that there is still high interest for new Travis Scott music among his diehard fans. His Ragers are patiently waiting for his fourth studio LP which is tentatively titled Utopia. When Rodriguez jokingly told Scott to hurry up on his new album, the 28-year-old hitmaker replied, “It’s coming. Coming soon. You can bet that.”
