Offset’s Family Doesn’t Trust Cardi B In The Kitchen

(AllHipHop News) Cardi B still hasn’t won the trust of her husband Offset’s family when it comes to cooking.

The rapper has revealed she and her man will be spending Thanksgiving with his family in Atlanta, Georgia, but she doesn’t expect anyone to let her set foot in the kitchen.

The “Bodak Yellow” star told People, “I could help mash up the potatoes, know what I’m sayin’? ‘Y’all want me to peel some vegetables, I’ll help you with that! I mean if y’all want me to cook a dish, I’ll do it. But I don’t guarantee it. I think I could do a really good mac and cheese… I feel like if I’m gonna go in and do it, I’m gonna do it good. But I don’t think they’re gonna trust me enough.”

But Cardi doesn’t mind – she’d rather be hanging out with her daughter, Kulture, and her three stepchildren.

“Now that my daughter’s a little bit older she likes to interact with kids,” she adds. “I’m excited to see her with her siblings. It’s gonna be fun. A lot of open space down there in Atlanta.”

Jack Thriller Explains Beef With 2 Chainz & How He Ran!

(AllHipHop Rumors) I never knew that Jack Thriller had beef with one 2 Chainz! Well, that is exactly what they had once upon a time! He says 2 Chainz wanted to MURDER HIM. What? I am not sure what is going on but give this a listen. 

“I am a comedian…I’m not a gangster!” I can respect that. 

If you do nothing else, watch the video to see Jack Thriller scream like a bish! Too funny!

Too funny! The funny thing is he mentions how he was out of pocket trying to ride for 50 Cent, but 50 wasn’t riding for him in that situation. 

Who Is Out To Kill Hollow Da Don?

(AllHipHop Rumors) In battle rap, people get killed all the time. They kill more people that most genres of music. Hollow Da Don is known to be one of the illest battle rappers around, but things have just gotten a bit too ILL. The rapper claims that somebody is out to kill him! 

Usually, people deal with this stuff on the low or the c### back the hammer and brace themselves for what comes next. But this is why I am thinking it is real, because he almost seems desperate to get help. He is not going to the cops, but this is absolutely the distress signal those laws may need to pick up the case. Is that considered dry snitching? I don’t think so (I don’t know for sure), because although Hollow raps, he may just be a law-abiding citizen. That makes him able to go around the rules of the streets. Right? Check this out!

Here’s the message in case it gets deleted because he answers ALL the stuff I just mentioned!: 

“Yall can make all the jokes you want but I left the streets in 2015, I conduct business. I don’t sell drugs and I dont hang out with people that do illegal activities. I’m putting out this video because I truly feel my life is in danger and I spent all morning thinking about getting an assault rifle. Then I thought about my son and started at the thought I’d be willing to take someone life over clothes and money. He gonna grow up without me because I was scare to look corny and just tell the people I’m scared for my life. I don’t know what else to do. I don’t want to go back to prison and I don’t want to die. So it’s either this or read “Battle Rapper Hollow Da Don go caught with a Ar-15” “Battle Rapper Hollow Da Don shot and Killed”. I’m here alone in Los Angeles, I have no enemies here and I bother no one. I’m sorry to the people I did bad business with. Things have gon too far when you are spending thousands of dollars to try to take someone down. Invest that into building yourself up and bringing out the God in you. You can make a brand 10x bigger than LOM with this time, money and energy that has been spent. It’s doing on 2 years now. FYI this is called dry snitching for people that’s in the street. I pay taxes and don’t qualify for the streets. I’m a square. Period, I like life better that way at 35. I’m not a kid, and the people doing this are mid 40’s that what so crazy. Please dont text me, I’m turning my phone off.”

May the good Lord be with him!

Now, what do you think? Could this ruin him as a rapper? I always thought his name represented “hollow point bullets” or something. If that is the case, this is over. I hope the brother is safe and lives long enough to get roasted at a battle over this! 

At the day’s end, he’s a father…nothing really beats that. 

Stay safe! 

Moroccan Court Sends Rapper Gnawi To Prison For Calling Out The King On Song

(AllHipHop News) Moroccan rapper Gnawi has been sentenced to a year behind bars for releasing a video in which he insults police officials.

In the video, he also attacks Morocco’s drug use issues and expresses frustration with the king.

The former military serviceman, real name Mohamed Mounir, was handed a one-year prison sentence on Monday.

Fans believe the punishment was prompted by the hard-hitting viral video for “3acha Cha3b (Long Live the People),” released last month, which also took on his homeland’s economic and migration issues.

Insulting police officials is a crime punishable by up to two years in prison in Morocco.

Many Moroccans were shocked by Gnawi’s opposition to the king.

The rapper’s “3acha Cha3b” collaborator Lz3er tells the Associated Press his friend was not trying to stir up controversy, adding, “We voiced what the majority of Moroccans feel but fear to say…”

“All of us are in the ‘see and be quiet’ mode, but I do this because I don’t want to see and be quiet. That’s why people respond to my music.” 

Travis Scott Ditches Formula 1 In Abu Dhabi Over “Unforeseen Circumstances”

(AllHipHop News) Travis Scott has pulled out of his headline gig at the final Formula 1 Grand Prix of the 2019 season in Abu Dhabi.

The rapper was due to perform at the du Arena near the United Arab Emirates’ capital’s Yas Marina Circuit on Friday (November 29th), as part of a weekend of concerts accompanying the race.

However, organizers announced he had canceled the gig and will be replaced by fellow hip-hop stars Gucci Mane and Future.

A statement posted on Twitter by organizers reads: “Due to unforeseen circumstances Travis Scott will not be able to perform at the Friday Yasalam After-Race Concert.

“But Mask Off! Get ready to party & serve the base with @1future & @gucci1017, the doubleheaders for the Friday 29 Nov #AbuDhabiGP #Yasalam2019 After-Race Concert.”

No further details have been provided as to the reason for the cancellation.

Other acts performing during the weekend include superstar DJ Marshmello, Lana Del Rey, and The Killers, who will close out the weekend by performing after Sunday’s Formula 1 finale. 

Cam’ron Mourns Unexpected Death Of His Girlfriend In Touching Post

(AllHipHop News) Rapper Cam’ron been left heartbroken after the unexpected death of his girlfriend.

Tawasa Harris passed away last week, and Cam’ron took to Instagram to post an emotional tribute to his best friend, revealing they had first dated “years ago”, and reconnected romantically early last year (18).

Alongside an old photo of the couple, the “Hey Ma” hitmaker, 43, began with a message of gratitude for the outpouring of love he had received in the wake of his loss.

“First off I want to thank my family, friends, and fans for their condolences, I really appreciate it,” he wrote.

He then explained his relationship history with Harris, with whom he had been planning his future.

“we got back together a year and a half ago. And I had the best time of my life during that period,” the hip-hop veteran explained.

“She was the person I spent 3-4nights a week with, the person I spoke to on the phone with 7-8times a day, the person I fell asleep on the phone with, the person I spent all summer with, the person that I was planning thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years and our birthdays with, the person who put me on to hi-end fashion, my biggest supporter, the person that wouldn’t let u talk about me while she was around, I could go on and on..but..this was really the love of my life…!!”

“Tee I’m truly going to miss you. You are my best friend.. and the the true definition of HOMIE, LOVER, FRIEND,” he added.

Cam’ron brought his touching post to a close by sending condolences to her family, including Harris’ three children, before promising not to wallow in sadness.

“Time for me to get out and get back to it. I know that’s what she would want,” he concluded, adding the hashtag, “#BestFriends”.

Further details about the cause of Harris’ passing have yet to be made public. 

Did French Montana Have A Heart Attack!?

(AllHipHop Rumors) First of all, our prayers are with French Montana! The rapper has been having some serious issues with his heart and we aren’t talking about some sh#t with a girl! He has been in ICU for a week and people are starting to get worried because this isn’t normal. French is a relatively young dude that has also been exposed to an opulent lifestyle, which I tend to translate into good living as well. I am not sure if that’s not the case, but it seems like it to me. 

First of all, let me state that French has already got Megan Thee Stallion! That alone can get you really excited to get out of the damn hospital, especially if you command it. “Get you motherfn’ ass out this motherfn’ bed and go home! They can’t keep a real n###a down!” Meg also states that she loves him in the video. 

ANYWAY, here is the skinny! French Montana was admitted to the ICU somewhere out there in Calabasas…he had some issues. French Montana has updated fans on his health, revealing he has been in intensive care over the weekend. He was having some cardiac issues and nausea and went straight to the hospital. In a tweet, the 35-year-old wrote: “Six days in icu,” and added a praying emoji. There are rumors that Frenchie had a heart attack, but the facts/reports don’t seem to suggest that. Right now, he suffering from an “elevated heart rate and stomach pains, possibly as a result of eating contaminated food.” GET BETTER BRO!

By the way, can we just admire Megan Thee Stallion.

21 Savage Serves Up Delicious, Hot Thanksgiving Meals

(AllHipHop News) 21 Savage helped the needy by serving Thanksgiving meals at a local community center on Tuesday.

The rapper helped serve an early holiday feast to 300 families in need at the DeKalb County YMCA center in Stone Mountain, Georgia, with fans thrilled to see the musician among the evening’s volunteers.

His mother, Heather Joseph, joined him, as they helped serve plates of turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, stuffing, macaroni and cheese, and gravy.

21 Savage, real name Sheyaa Bin Abraham-Joseph, is active in his local community, helping organize school supply drives and teaching youth the basics of money.

Tuesday’s event was held by his Leading By Example Foundation.

Meanwhile, the “Bank Account” hitmaker’s music career is on hold as he faces deportation from the U.S. and is unable to leave the country to tour, impacting his career and income.

Summer Walker Denies Delaying Concert To Hit The Town With Drake

(AllHipHop News) R&B star Summer Walker has hit back at fans after coming under fire for the delayed start to her Monday night concert in Toronto, Canada.

Ticketholders took to social media to vent after they braved frigid temperatures to attend the REBEL show, only to be left waiting more than three hours for the gig to start, while the singer also reportedly left the crowd further disappointed by exiting less than an hour into the set.

To make matters worse, Walker, who recently scaled back her tour commitments due to her battle with severe social anxiety, had posted photos of herself hanging out with hometown hero Drake and producer London On Da Track shortly before the performance, leaving many fuming.

However, on Tuesday, Walker took to Instagram Live to fire back at her detractors, insisting she had endured a nightmare journey to get into the country after misplacing her identification documents, and then clashed with sound technicians responsible for setting up the show.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nk2XvLN9GXY

“Y’all don’t even know what goes on behind-the-scenes. I had to fire my sound team twice,” the Georgia native claimed.

“I couldn’t find my passport and birth certificate. I had to be up at 5 a.m. to go to two different offices to get a new passport and birth certificate. By the time I got to Toronto, all I had time to do was check-in (to her hotel), wash my a##, and get to the venue. I didn’t even know I was motherf##king late.”

Walker went on to insist promoters were responsible for her stage time and made it clear the delay wasn’t because she had been chatting to special guests like Drake and Meek Mill, who were both in attendance at her concert.

“I go on stage when I’m told to go on stage,” she ranted. “Drake told me he was going to come to my show, and I told him not to come because I suck. He comes – very grateful and nice man. He’s extremely sweet. The thing is, we only spoke for two minutes.

“Him, Meek, and some other n##gas walked in. We say hello and take a picture. We probably exchanged about two sentences and then they said, ‘Summer, it’s time to go on stage.’ I did what I was supposed to do. If I had known motherf##kers were waiting for four hours, I would’ve apologized.”

Michael B. Jordan Reportedly Pitched A New Vision For ‘Superman’ To Warner Bros

(AllHipHop News) Michael B. Jordan played Marvel’s Human Torch in Fantastic Four and Marvel’s Killmonger in Black Panther. Is the veteran actor ready to try his hand at a DC character on the big screen?

According to Variety, Jordan met with executives at Warner Bros. Entertainment to pitch a new “vision” for Superman. The publication reported that the 32-year-old entertainer did not commit to the superhero movie because filming is not set to begin for several years which could conflict with his other projects.

Christopher Reeve established himself as the quintessential film version of Clark Kent in the Superman franchise from the 1970s/1980s. Brandon Routh played The Last Son of Krypton in 2006’s Superman Returns, and Henry Cavill took on the role in 2013’s Man of Steel.

Michael B. Jordan’s next part comes in the upcoming legal drama Just Mercy via Warner Bros. Pictures. The based-on-a-true-story motion picture also stars Jamie Foxx, Rob Morgan, Tim Blake Nelson, Rafe Spall, and Brie Larson. Just Mercy lands in North American theaters on December 25.

A Conversation With YouTuber KSI On His Music Career, Top 5 Rappers & Breaking Into The American Market

(AllHipHop Features) Long gone are the days where an aspiring rap star has to hit the pavement to make sure his demo tape gets in the hands of the people that matter. The typical path to Hip Hop stardom now involves occupying smartphone screens instead of selling CDs out the trunk of a car.

YouTube has 2 billion monthly logged-in users and reaches more than 91 countries. In an average month, 80% of 18-49 year-olds watch content on the Google-owned platform. Masters of the YouTube universe, such as Olajide Olayinka Williams Olatunji, have converted sections of that global audience into a devoted fan base that follows their every move.

Whether he’s called JJ, KSIOlajidebt, or KSI, the British national’s name is regularly listed among the most successful internet personalities on the planet. The financial effects of KSI’s recent victory in a professional boxing match against fellow YouTuber Logan Paul even garnered coverage from Forbes and Business Insider.

While mainstream outlets were reporting that Olatunji and Paul each earned $900,000 for the six-round bout, many Hip Hop fans were just as interested in the fact that MMG boss Rick Ross and QC hitmaker Lil Baby co-signed KSI inside the Staples Center that night. Then Rozay, Baby, JJ, and S-X linked up in Los Angeles to film the Nayip Ramos-directed music video for their collaboration “Down Like That.”

An American audience may be discovering KSI as a performing artist because of his 1-0 boxing record or his new connection with two southern rap luminaries, but the London-born entertainer already scored three Number Ones on the U.K. R&B Album chart. No. 1 projects, 29 million YouTube subscribers (over two channels), 5 billion YouTube views, and 2 million monthly listeners on Spotify are impressive, but not enough for the Sidemen collective member. KSI’s objective as a rapper is to be the biggest fish on the other side of the pond as well. 

[ALSO READ: A Conversation With Brooklyn Johnny On New Label, A&R Work & The Rise Of Cardi B]

AllHipHop: Can you talk about how you connected with Rick Ross and Lil Baby for “Down Like That”?

KSI: M###, my music manager, pretty much made the whole thing happen. S-X sent me the track with the hook already on. I got gassed. I made several verses just to try and find the right one. I talked to M### about making this bigger than just a track with me and S-X: Let’s try to make this international and get some bigger artists. Rick Ross was in mind, as well as Lil Baby. And I just made it happen. I’m still in shock. With everything I do, I want it to be big. The whole boxing thing was big. Every time I’ve done a boxing match, I released a track. So with this next track, I wanted it to be huge and we made it happen.

AllHipHop: You’ve released a few EPs. Are there any plans to release a full-length album?

KSI: I released a joint album with my friend Randolph this year. Then we went on tour as well. But I think, definitely, for next year I want to have my own album. I feel like it’s time. It’s due.

AllHipHop: Your project with Randolph, New Age, made it onto the U.K. charts. A few of your songs have charted too. Are you looking to break onto the American charts? You mentioned wanting to become international. Is that a goal for you?

KSI: Yeah, 100%. Rick Ross and Lil Baby, that’s why I wanted those names. Obviously, in England, I’m already a big name, but when it comes to America, I’m still like a small fish in a big pond. Or a big fish in a big pond, shall I say. [laughs] I feel like it makes sense for me to collab with more American artists. So yeah, I definitely want to start charting more in America. I feel like the music video will bring a huge amount of attention. No other YouTuber is attracting international artists besides Jake Paul and Gucci Mane. For me, and for everyone who watched that, it kind of put YouTube in a bad light because Jake Paul is not respected as an artist. Everyone was like, “Nah, Gucci. Don’t do that.” Hopefully, now I can pave the way so that YouTubers can make good music, and chart, and be international, and make waves in the music scene.

AllHipHop: Do you feel like you’ve already gained respect from artists that are already working in the industry?

KSI: Yeah, definitely. They see that I can do YouTube, I can do boxing, and I can do the music. It’s not like I just woke up and went, “I want to do music.” I’ve been doing music since I was like 11 or 12 to help me remember things and subjects in classes. I only decided I wanted to make music because I thought it would be cool. It’s not like I started making tracks. It’s kind of cringy, but when I was younger, I was making videos online where I would rap about what I was doing in Call of Duty. Also, I would pretend to be a footballer and I have a mate, another footballer, and we would have rap battles. So I didn’t make tracks until “Lamborghini” which was one of the first tracks I ever made. It was literally me rapping about my Lamborghini. I wrote that and it was a smash. From then on, I’ve always just rapped about my life. Everything just gelled together so well to the point where I’m able to do tracks with Lil Baby and Rick Ross.

AllHipHop: Who are some of your favorite rappers? If you had to name your personal Top 5, who would it be?

KSI: I’m a big fan of Skepta. I just think he’s sick. I’ve seen his whole journey, and as an artist, he goes against the grain. But it works. I’m obviously a big fan of Drake. I feel like everyone’s a fan of Drake. I just love his music. When he raps or sings, he kills it. Slowthai, I rock with him a lot. I think he’s pretty sick. AJ Tracey is another one. A$AP Ferg is another one. I just love his energy. That’s Top 5, but I could go on. It’s not like your obvious list, but I just like certain energy. Even right now, I’d love to put Tyler, The Creator in there. Oh my God, Kendrick Lamar as well! There are so many names that pop up and I’m just like, “How could I not put Kendric Lamar in there?!”

AllHipHop: I want to go back to something you said before about the perception of YouTubers who make music. What are your thoughts about how the mainstream media covers YouTubers in that space?

KSI: They just think we’re talentless. [laughs] And we’re just cringy and we don’t take it seriously. That’s just not the case. As YouTubers, we know what to do when it comes to hard work. I guess it’s like always proving people wrong. Maybe we don’t have the resources of certain artists, but we make do with what we have and we have a fanbase. There’s a huge audience on YouTube, musically, especially. There are people that rock with me, rock with Quadeca, rock with Token, and all these other YouTube artists.

AllHipHop: What do you think your fight with Logan meant for YouTubers? It got a lot of attention outside of just the YouTube community.

KSI: That’s it. I knew this would bring a lot of attention. You got to remember that everything I do is smart and calculated. When I fought Joe Weller, I released “Uncontrollable.” That’s just a track with me and Big Zuu. I knew this was going to gain a lot of traction. That’s why in the music video I showed off my body, I showed that I’d been working hard. It just built the hype. Then with the hype, people then listened to the music. And they said, “Oh, this is actually pretty good. I might listen to more of his stuff.” Then with the first fight with Logan Paul, I released “On Point.” It was a bit of a diss, but it was also showing my rapping skills. It did numbers! It got 30-plus million views! The attention was phenomenal. The attention with the fight was phenomenal. A lot of people, with the hype, saw the music and went, “Yo, he’s actually sick at this.” They realized that I’m actually good and I can make good music. Then with this rematch where I beat Logan – “Down Like That” with me, Rick Ross, and Lil Baby – I’m gradually showing people that I’m making moves on the music scene. It’s not in your face. It’s in the background. But it makes people pay attention to it. Right now, people are like, “JJ’s here to stay when it comes to music.” I think people are starting to respect and realize that.

AllHipHop: I think one thing that you can’t ignore is that you’ve really mastered marketing. You’ve really learned how to promote yourself. Did you study marketing or branding?

KSI: No, it’s just something you learn over time. It’s literally something to experience. I’ve been in the game for ten-plus years, so I know what works and what doesn’t. I’ve failed a lot of times, but people don’t pay attention to that. People only pay attention to when you succeed. Eventually, you get good at something and you keep trying it and trying it again. That’s why I’m at this point where I guess you’re saying I’m good at marketing.

AllHipHop: You’ve said you’re not interested in boxing Justin Bieber, but would you be open to fighting another Bieber-backed YouTuber?

KSI: I’m definitely interested in fighting another celebrity. I feel like YouTuber wise, there isn’t really anyone for me. Besides maybe Jake [Paul], but I think Jake needs to prove himself. That’s why I’m always telling people he needs to fight [AnEsonGib]. If he beats Gib, then, fine, he can fight me. Then it makes sense because then there’s hype. Right now, me fighting Jake, there’s no hype. It doesn’t make sense. Jake is worse than Logan, and I beat Logan. So why would I fight Jake? Jake needs to prove he’s better than Logan. Then people would be intrigued. Then I’ll make another track. That’s how we roll. [laughs] I’m interested in fighting a celebrity for sure, and there are a few celebrities that want some. I can’t say who they are, but we’re working on it for next year.

AllHipHop: We’ve seen Tyson Fury jump into WWE. You did a video with Rule’m Sports where you were wrestling. Have you thought about jumping into the WWE?

KSI: Oh wow. I’m surprised you saw that. [laughs] I like doing that type of stuff. Of course, I’m always open to doing WWE, AEW, or whatever organization there is. I’ve been a fan for years. Man, that’s my childhood. I used to watch Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, Hulk Hogan, Sting, Mick Foley/Mankind, The Undertaker, all these guys, Triple H. I’m a fan, so it would be a dream come true to fight in the WWE. It’d be a bit too mad for me. I think at that point I’d probably need to check into a hospital just to check that I’m sane. [laughs]

AllHipHop: The Grammy nominations just came out. What was your favorite Hip Hop album of 2019?

KSI: My favorite Hip Hop album? I love Igor a lot… I’m going to say Igor. The thing is that I’m a Tyler, The Creator fanboy, so I’m biased. [laughs]

Jay-Z Sues Australian Online Retailer Over Children’s Alphabet Book

(AllHipHop News) Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter is claiming an Australian online retailer infringed on his intellectual property. The billionaire American Hip Hop mogul filed a lawsuit with the Federal Court of Australia on November 22.

Jessica Chiha’s The Little Homie is selling a children’s book titled AB to Jay-Z. Lyrics from Jay-Z’s song “99 Problems” are repurposed in AB to Jay-Z as “If you’re having alphabet problems I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but my ABC’s ain’t one.” 

Carter’s legal team reportedly asked Chiha to stop selling the books in 2018. She allegedly continued to “deliberately and knowingly” use the Roc Nation founder’s IP in a “flagrant, glaring” way. 

The Little Homie also sells other Hip Hop-inspired books such as First 50 Words With 50 Cent, 1 2 3 With the Notorious B.I.G., and Where Are My Homies At? In addition, the company offers clothing items featuring lyrics by Jay-Z, The Notorious B.I.G., 2Pac, and Beyoncé.

“Whilst pregnant, the thought of becoming a parent frightened me a hell of a lot. I didn’t want to leave the life I knew behind me, and lose myself in the process. This was the catalyst I needed to create something that I could better connect with my daughter with, by combining my new family with my love of Hip Hop,” reads a message from Jessica Chiha on The Little Homie website.

 

Producer Ronny J Claims Kanye West & Dr. Dre Are Working On “Something Special”

(AllHipHop News) Ronald Oneil Spence Jr. (aka Ronny J) co-produced “Everything We Need” on Kanye West’s Jesus Is King album. According to the New Jersey native, Ye and another Hip Hop legend are actively collaborating on an additional version of the project.

On November 18, Kanye and Dr. Dre uploaded the same picture from the studio to their respective Twitter accounts. Both captions for the photo read, “Ye and Dre Jesus is King Part II coming soon.”

https://twitter.com/kanyewest/status/1196524372044861440https://twitter.com/drdre/status/1196526595864875008

People began to wonder if the two creators were just trolling their followers. TMZ caught up with Ronny J, and he seemed to confirm that a sequel to West’s Gospel-inspired rap LP is really in the works.

“Honestly, shout out Ye cause we definitely got some sh*t on the way – me, Dr. Dre, and Kanye,” said Ronny. “It’s something special. It’s something a little extra for the fans.” He added, “I was just in Wyoming working on it last week… Dre wasn’t there this time around… Dre’s working on some additional work from Jesus Is King.”

Anderson .Paak Responds To GoldLink’s “Disrespectful, Narcissistic” Post About Mac Miller

(AllHipHop News) GoldLink is catching some backlash for a new social media post. The “Crew” performer wrote a lengthy message directed to the late Mac Miller. Anderson .Paak was also mentioned in GoldLink’s Instagram statement, and he reacted to what he called a “disrespectful, narcissistic, jealous grossly unnecessary post” on his own IG account.

GoldLink wrote:

Mac Miller

I’d be lying if I said I was surprised to hear that you died on us. Not because you were necessarily troubled, but because you were special and because of that, you were troubled. At your peak, you were the archetypal rapper all of us wanted to be; which was independent. But also just a kid with really bright eyes about life. I’ll keep it short because I want to continue our conversation for when it’s my time to go. But I think what made you and I special is that we weren’t always on the best terms. So I didn’t always have great things to say about you. When we were on the GO:OD AM tour, I played you my album “and after that we didn’t talk”, and you thought it was absolutely incredible. I released it under the“Soulection” label and the single for my album was called “Unique” ft. Anderson Paak, and that was your favorite song at the time. You loved it so much that you made the entire tour party listen to it, and surprised me with a cake after my set. I always thought you drove yourself insane about your own music. So much that, you would adopt styles as homage to those around you that you loved. That’s where our problem started. Divine Feminine was an actual blueprint of “and after that we didn’t talk”. Your single was called “Dang!” Ft. Anderson Paak…you had Souelction support you on the Divine Feminine tour and when I tried to contact you, about anything at all…you never hit me. A close mutual friend ended up just hittin’ my DJ saying “listen man, we love Link, but we just had to do what we had to do. And Mac said if he needs a verse at anytime, he got him” We are family, you could always call me. Afterwards, we seen each other at Coachella, and you put your head down like an innocent child, but I told you to pick it up and I hugged you like the brother you are to me. You were the first person brave enough to openly say “he’s dope.”, and gave me a platform. That meant more to me than anything else. 3 days before you died, I remember pullin up on you at the crib, walking in the house and seeing the Divine Feminine album plaque on the wall. I was so proud of you and what YOU created for yourself. And I’m forever grateful for that

Paak responded:

@goldlink I would imagine yo weird ass posted up somewhere just like this when you decided to make that disrespectful, narcissistic, jealous grossly unnecessary post. Why you would do it I can’t even understand It . maybe your belt was wrapped around your Gotdamn waist too tight or maybe it was the choker cutting the circulation off to the brain but since you felt it necessary to bring me up twice and my boy ain’t here to respond ima say it like this. You ain’t the first to make an album inspired by a relationship, you ain’t the first to make a song featuring Anderson .Paak but you are the first to disrespect my friend who is no longer here for absolutely no reason and I can’t stand for that. I’m not a tough guy I’m not about negativity but this bugged me bad bro. I’ve called you and dm’d and you havnt responded. So since this is what you like to do in order to get attention we can do it like this. You’re not surprised huh? Well I’m in disbelief!!! If Devine feminine was such a blue print of your record then tell me where the plaques are for whatever your s### was called!! Mac brought your ass on tour and opened up his fan base to you when you had nothing and this the type of appreciation you give? You should of just been grateful for the op! Whatever issues you had with Mac should have been addressed in person and ended there. what’s the point of bringing this up after his passing and disrespecting his name? You really woke up feeling like that was the move? That ain’t how you go about promoting whatever you got coming. Some things simply have nothing to do with you but when you have a God Complex im sure it’s easy to think everything comes from you or was inspired in some way. Whatever it is I ain’t giving it no more energy. I pray you get back to the music and spreading good energy, ima do the same. Mac Miller forever, love to his family and y’all have a blessed one.

Kim Kardashian Admits She Cannot “Understand” Kanye West Sometimes

(AllHipHop News) Kim Kardashian has admitted she and Kanye West don’t always “understand” each other, but their relationship has “never stopped being fun”.

The 39-year-old reality star has been married to Kanye for the past five years and has seen the rapper through some of his more controversial moments, including his frequent Twitter rants and public support of U.S. President Donald Trump.

Kim opened up about the couple’s marriage in a new interview with New York magazine and said that she’s learned “it’s okay” to have moments when she and her spouse question one another.

“The one consistent thing is our relationship has never stopped being fun,” she said. “And it’s okay to not understand each other. It’s okay to not have the same exact feelings all the time.

“It’s just about figuring out how do we grow from that? Or, what’s the lesson from that? And, giving each other space and time to figure that out.”

Kanye recently disagreed with Kim’s Met Gala look for the 2019 event, with his reaction shown on reality show “Keeping Up With the Kardashians. “

And as for how his opinions have changed her, the mother-of-four admitted she’s more conscious of being “too sexy” with her ensembles these days.

“I saw this whole thing where it’s like, ‘She’s so demure, and she’s covered.’ And I was like, ‘Guys, I had a shearling coat on and a turtleneck because it’s, like, freezing,” she explained. “I think I have (changed) a little bit. I don’t know if it’s the fact that my husband has voiced that sometimes too sexy is just overkill and he’s not comfortable with that.

“I listen to him and understand him. Still, at the end of the day, he always gives me the freedom to be and do what I want.”

Joycelyn Savage Patreon Account Yanked Offline Over Identity Concerns

(AllHipHop News) The person behind the Patreon account alleging to be R. Kelly’s former girlfriend Joycelyn Savage has failed to verify her identity with the crowdfunding platform.

Joycelyn took to the site on Saturday, claiming R. Kelly led her to believe he would help launch her career as a model and singer and even recorded songs with her, but then gave her commands as she started to realize she was a prisoner in his home.

“I didn’t have any type of privacy at all now that I think about it,” she wrote. “If I showered one of his assistants would have to be by the door while I shower. I couldn‘t talk to my parents in private sometimes. I was told what to say on the phone to them.”

However, the person behind the page has yet to confirm their identity so they have been shut down.

The account has been raking in money with a reported 2,000 users signing up for a membership, with fees ranging from $3 to $25.

If the account does turn out to be fake, the money will be returned.

R. Kelly was arrested earlier this year on a 13-count federal indictment. He has pleaded not guilty.

Savage, along with another of the “I Believe I Can Fly” star’s ‘girlfriends’, Azriel Clary, previously stood by the musician and claimed their parents were trying to “scam” money out of him with their allegations of abuse.

According to Jocelyn Savage’s Instagram account, she is considering going live with Azriel to prove it’s really her.
