“Due to issues with the plane I’m sorry to say I won’t be able to make the show in Irvine tonight. Portland I’ll see you Friday – tune,” Lil Wayne tweeted just hours before he was supposed to take the stage.
Fans were p##### over the last-minute announcement, which sparked some backlash on his Twitter account.
This is the third time Lil Wayne has bailed on his performance during the joint tour blink-182.
Dubbed the “Princess of New York,” Lil Keyu is a Florida-bred, New York-raised native who claims she’s a “regular girl who wants to change the world.”
Dedicated to leaving an imprint, her At 19-years-old, Lil Keyu is ready to go full-fledged into this music game.
Her passion and love for music is evidenced in her high-energy records.
Most recently, she unleashed the official music video for “Play Dumb,” which sees Keyu talking her s##t.
While she only recently moved to Los Angeles to pursue her rap dreams even further, she still manages to find time to balance being a single mother and recording artist.
AllHipHop: Your music is a cross between rock & hip-hop. How would you describe your sound?
Lil Keyu: Like an urban rockstar.
AllHipHop: When did you start making music?
Lil Keyu: I’ve always been into music. I started doing this officially not even six or seven months ago.
AllHipHop: At what point did you realize this music thing was forreal?
Lil Keyu: It’s not that I wanted to take forreal because I always did, but I was also a young mom. I’m like “I need something serious because this is not cutting it right now.” I was in that mindset, but then I prayed one night. Two days later, I was hitting up a whole bunch of people who did management. I just kept on and on and on.
Finally I found @abon15, who’s Miguel Solano. He used to do Lil Pump when he first started. He answered me back then read my message of why he should have me.
He just read it, so I sent another long message why he should have me. Don’t read and leave me on seen! I’m gonna fight for this, this is something that I want and this is why. This is not for no reason, this is not for fun and games. I really wanna go hard, this is my passion.
I also have a kid and everything. Not just that, I want to do something that’s fun for me. I’ve never been the type of person for someone to tell me what to do. I want to be doing stuff by myself and doing stuff I love at that.
AllHipHop: What was the inspiration behind your name?
Lil Keyu: I started off as Keyeezus. Key is literally in my name and I was into the Kanye stuff. I put Keyeezus but I couldn’t really keep that name because it had something to do with him, so I stuck with Key and I kept the ‘u’ in ‘eezus’. It’s Lil Keyu. I had a little era where I was listening to Kanye West’s music, liking his clothing line, etc.
AllHipHop: What’s his influence on your own rap career?
Lil Keyu: More of the aggression in trying to get a point across. My music is tryna get a point across like he’s trying to get a point across. Not saying that I use him as a mentor, that’s something I could be like “oh damn alright, I see what he’s tryna do.” When I listen to his music, I can see it.
AllHipHop: Best memory from the video shoot?
Lil Keyu: The water scene, that’s when I really got into it. I really liked that part when it was raining. [chuckles]
AllHipHop: How’s feel being compared to 6ix9ine?
Lil Keyu: I don’t like it. I hate it.
AllHipHop: Who started that?
Lil Keyu: To be honest, I really don’t know. That s##t is so annoying. Because if you gonna say that, it’s like okay so 6ix9ine copied Waka Flaka. Waka Flaka had that yelling stage he went through. If you gonna say he copied Waka Flaka, then Waka Flocka copied one of these rock stars. Come on, why you saying that? I just feel like it’s ‘cause I’m from New York. I just feel like it should just be a genre, people shouldn’t make names and s##t like that.
The reason why these old heads and OGs are mad towards these youngins is because they actually do hip-hop. What they do is hip-hop, what we do isn’t really hip-hop to me. It’s hip-hop, but it’s mixed with something else.
There needs to be more genres for us to open. It won’t be like “alright so you can’t say that I really do hip-hop,” because my music ain’t really hip-hop. If you said, ”oh she does hip-hop.” someone else could be like “nah she don’t do hip-hop.” And I agree with that, because I don’t do hip-hop.
AllHipHop: What do you do?
Lil Keyu: I do whatever I feel like.
AllHipHop: Who’s in your Top 5?
Lil Keyu: The Weeknd, Pop Smoke, Ski Mask The Slump God, Alicia Keys, and Linkin Park. I live two different lives, I like R&B and reggae.
AllHipHop: What can we expect on your upcoming EP, A Different Key?
Lil Keyu: Songs I’ve been previewing before. Old songs that OG fans have been wanting me to drop but I haven’t, they’re gonna finally hear it.
(AllHipHop Rumors) Eminem! Can we cannot seem to say it enough: he is one of the best rappers of all time. We say that more than any other rapper! Are we trying to convince ourselves? I don’t know, but he is. Eminem really doesn’t say a whole lot and doesn’t come out to play until he drops an album or something.
That said, I think Em is getting ready to do a lyrical drive-by one somebody. Check out what he posted on Twitter:
Well, honestly – the only person I think he COULD be talking about is Lord Jamar. But, why is he subbin’ the situation? I think he needs to say it!!
Do like this!
And to think: this is all old stuff! Royce mentions Lord Jamar. Lord Jamar calls Eminem Tarzan: Lord of the Apes! This is huge! Lets get off social media and RAP!
“I don’t want no problems with nobody and I don’t want to have to f##k nobody up,” Royce said. You are not the measuring stick of what street n##gas listen to. I don’t look at you like no type of street n##ga, I look at you the same way you look at Marshall. You say he talks about a bunch of s##t he don’t do, I feel like you rapped about a bunch of s##t you never did and you still ain’t doing,” Royce fumed.
Lord Jamar replied once again and has even sparked a debate over whether or not Eminem’s music gets burn in “the hood” or not.
“People don’t really ask me about you Royce, they asked me about Eminem, but for some reason, you like to respond. Okay, I get it, you’re a loyal guy,” Lord Jamar said in his latest reply. in general, black people don’t f##king listen to Eminem. It’s not a f##king disc, it’s a f##king fact,” Lord Jamar said.
Either way, Eminem looks like Eminem is sick of his name being in other people’s mouths, and he’s prepared to do battle.
“People think they want this problem ’til they get it.”
People think they want this problem 'til they get it.
Eminem could have also caught some recent comments from his old nemesis Benzino, who trashed the rapper in a post on Instagram.
The former Source owner labeled Eminem a “trailer park hick” who can only put “silly words together” during a debate on Choke No Joke’s Instagram feed after an interview.
“I’m a real street n##ga who actually did it, he’s a trailer park hick who puts silly words together that rhyme and acts hard when he knows he would faint and break out in a rash if he ever was in a room alone with me, you see hip Hop is from the streets, not the work place, not college, not from white neighborhoods, from the dangerous, poor, and ruthless streets. So his foolishness don’t move me and if you are a black man from the struggle still idolizing that cracker then we can’t see eye to eye,” Benzino said.
(AllHipHop Features) Andy Mineo has had a long history of pushing the boundaries of acceptable norms in Hip-Hop. The Syracuse, New York, native has been a staple amongst different subsets of Hip-Hop, including what people have inaccurately labeled Christian Rap, but his newest project Work in Progress, offers fresh, revealing introspection on Mineo. He’s got his sights on an ever-expanding audience and galvanizing his existing fanbase. Basically, he’s not interested in being inside any box that you may want to trap him in. “I take a lot of risks creatively, just trying to push to find interesting sounds sonically and lyrical concepts that are usually very vulnerable,” he explains. “I’m very honest in my music and I think that’s the thing that people are most drawn to about what I create.”
Mineo has no problem discussing his growth as an artist over the years, however, during his sit-down with our boy Slops, he reveals that he can take risks in his music because it’s more rewarding for him and his fans. “I‘ve found that when you’re vulnerable in your music it actually creates more unity,” he says. “More people are able to resonate with what you’re saying and understand where you’re coming from.”
(AllHipHop News) Rapper LL Cool J may be one of television’s biggest stars, but he still takes time to give back to the boro that birthed him.
Over the weekend, LL Cool J was in Queens where he hosted the closing ceremonies of the 15th Annual Jump & Ball Community Camp.
Over 200 youths participated in LL Cool J’s month-long camp, which was held for kids from his old neighborhood in Southeast Queens.
The 5-week athletic program was dedicated to health, fitness and team building.
The students not only learned the game of basketball, but they were also taught critical skills needed to make it through life.
To top it off, the Queen’s legend provided the students with a performance by the Harlem Globetrotters, some free food, back to school supplies and free haircuts as well.
Take a look at some photos of the closing ceremonies of LL Cool J’s 15th annual Jump & Ball Community Camp.

(AllHipHop News) Troy Ave (born Roland Collins) is set to return to a Manhattan courthouse on September 13. Back in 2016, the Brooklyn rapper pleaded not guilty in his pending attempted murder and illegal weapon possession case.
Those charges stem from a fatal shooting inside New York City’s Irving Plaza. Troy Ave’s friend/bodyguard Ronald “Banga” McPhatter was killed. Collins has insisted he acted in self-defense, and that will likely be his legal strategy in the upcoming trial.
“Sh*t, everybody knows what happened. It ain’t even nothing to argue. It’s right there, the proof is in the pudding. The proof is in black and white paperwork, in the FBI paperwork. I don’t even have to argue anything, it’s there,” Troy tells AllHipHop. “They see that it’s not my gun, I never brought no gun in the club. DNA evidence proves that, so where’d I get it from?
“
Assistant District Attorney Christine Keenan admitted the prosecution does not believe Collins brought the weapon into Irving Plaza. Tax Season podcast host Daryl “Taxstone” Campbell’s DNA was reportedly found on the gun used in the shootout. Taxtone pleaded guilty to firearm charges as a result of the violent encounter that took place at a T.I.-headlining concert in May 2016.
“I got [the gun] from the assailant. I didn’t make this up, we didn’t splice the genetics on the one gun. They should just free Troy Ave,” expressed the “Money Ova Here” rhymer. “If this were to happen somewhere else, I would have been a hero. Because if you look at it, I saved mad people from getting shot. There are three other victims, more people could have died. If I didn’t do what I did, fought the gun away and wrestled — it’s fight or flight. I chose to fight.”
The 33-year-old father added, “I went head-on with a gunman and by the grace of God, took the gun out his hand. So why am I not looked at as a hero? Why am I not praised like ‘wow this guy did something heroic’? Instead, the media paints you like he’s coming in the club shooting all crazy. That’s not true, I was coming out of a room. I was already in the club. I was supposed to be there. I was the special invited guest to perform, but they made it look like I just came in doing sh*t.”
Troy Ave was shot in the leg during the melee within Irving Plaza. Maggie Carrie was also wounded in the venue that night. The model/bartender was struck in the leg and had to undergo physical therapy to recover from the injury.
(AllHipHop News) The MTV Video Music Awards were once a must-watched television event. Iconic moments such as Michael Jackson kissing Lisa Marie Presley on stage,Diana Ross fondling Lil Kim’s bare breast, and Kanye West interrupting Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech sparked water cooler conversations.
It appears Millenials and Gen Z are not as interested in watching the Video Music Awards on TV as much as members of Generation X were in the past. The 2019 ceremony only drew 1.93 million viewers and a 0.9 rating which is reportedly an all-time low for the MTV network.
The Sebastian Maniscalco-hosted show was simulcast on eleven other Viacom channels, including MTV2, Comedy Central, BET, and VH1. The total numbers for all twelve channels hit 4.9 million viewers which were also down about 6% from 2018’s 5.2 million viewers on 10 channels.
Even though the VMAs hit rating lows the past three years on television, MTV seems to be succeeding in the digital realm. Social media and online video views increased by 85% from 2018. That is a sign young people preferred to engage with VMAs content via the internet.
Pop superstar Taylor Swift opened the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards with a performance of “You Need to Calm Down” and “Lover.” Other notable performers included Missy Elliott, Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, Shawn Mendes, Camila Cabello, Lil Nas X, Lizzo, Normani, and Queen Latifah. Many A-list celebrities – such as Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Rihanna, Drake, Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Ed Sheeran, and Nicki Minaj – did not attend this year’s VMAs.
(AllHipHop News) Wyclef Jean was one of the New Jersey-based rap legends to close out the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards on Monday. Besides being an award-winning Hip Hop performer, the founding Fugees member is also moving into the streaming motion picture space.
Last October, it was announced that Wyclef is working with Netflix to create an animated film about his childhood. AllHipHop caught up with the Haitian immigrant to get some more insight into the upcoming movie named after his home country’s capital city.
“Netflix just did a big deal with me. So we’re doing a Prince of Port au Prince. Y’all could look out for that, read about it. It’s on Netflix. It’s going to be animated for kids that are six to twelve years old,” said Wyclef.
He added, “The premise is how you escape poverty, through the imagination. So if you have kids, it’s important that they watch this. I came to America, I seen Aladdin, I seen Cinderella, and now y’all get to watch Prince of Port au Prince.
While part of the Fugees with Lauryn Hill and Pras Michel, Wyclef Jean released the albums Blunted on Reality and The Score. His solo discography includes Wyclef Jean Presents The Carnival, The Ecleftic: 2 Sides II a Book, and other studio LPs.

(AllHipHop News) In his latest comedy special for Netflix, Dave Chappelle presented jokes about the LGBT community, white school shooters, the #MeToo Movement, and Michael Jackson. A section of Sticks & Stones also tackled Surviving R. Kelly.
Executive Producer Dream Hampton’s Emmy-nominated docuseries covered the sexual, physical, and mental abuse allegations against R&B singer R. Kelly over the last three decades. According to Chappelle, Hampton asked him to be part of the program but he turned down being in the documentary because he did not have any personal interactions with the accused pedophile.
The back-and-forth over Surviving R. Kelly went from Netflix to Twitter. Hampton responded to Chappelle in a series of tweets that referenced the classic Chappelle’s Show skit “P### On You” which depicted Chappelle performing as R. Kelly in a music video.
Hampton tweeted:
Quick fact check: I didn’t personally (or casually) invite Chappelle to be interviewed for the doc. The producer responsible for celeb outreach officially asked him, more than once. I haven’t seen or talked to him in about 8 years. Weird he told his joke that way. I also, obviously, didn’t need Chapelle to talk about R. Kelly personally. I wanted him to talk about the two pieces of cultural criticism he produced about R. Kelly for the Chapelle show. I also have never in my life said the words “too hot for tv”, because, B####, that’s not how I sound. There is nothing more radical—or necessary, than comedy that takes on power. An actual brave and brilliant comic can collapse regimes and shift culture in ways nothing and no one else can. I hope someone emerges… No, I wasn’t trying to just invite “anybody” that “would possibly say something bad about R Kelly” I asked our producer T. Farris to invite him on because [Dave Chappelle] already “said” this [link to Comedy Central’s “P### On You” YouTube video] This really isn’t rocket science… I a) care about Black girls b) don’t think abusing as many Black girls as R Kelly did happens without many, many people refusing to speak up about it. If that’s hilarious, then awesome, thanks for coming to my Netflix special.
Back in January, Dream Hampton also had a public spat with Neo-Soul songstress Erykah Badu over Surviving R. Kelly. Hampton claimed she asked a producer to contact Badu about appearing in the program. Badu denied rejecting a request to be in the Lifetime docuseries, and she demanded Hampton apologize for wrongfully suggesting she was approached about Surviving R. Kelly.
Hampton replied, “Apologize? Are you kidding? Again, you PUBLICLY said he did more for black people than anyone? If you want to apologize for that, fine, apology accepted, on behalf of Harriet and the whole crew. What you meant by calling him your brother from the stage, I’ll never know..”
(AllHipHop News) Robert “Meek Mill” Williams is no longer under the supervision of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Yesterday, news broke that the Philadelphia-raised rapper pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor firearms gun possession charge, ending an 11-year legal battle.
Meek had been on probation since being convicted in 2008. In July, the Pennsylvania Superior Court overturned the felony conviction and ordered a new trial in the drug and gun possession case.
I really put that s### behind me today ….. I beat the streets 👌🏾
The “Stay Woke” spitter addressed his newfound freedom on Twitter. Meek told his 8.2 million followers, “I really put that sh*t behind me today ….. I beat the streets.”
Since being released from state prison in 2018 for a probation violation, Meek Mill has become an advocate for criminal justice reform. He joined with Roc Nation founder Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter, Philadelphia 76ers co-owner Michael Rubin, New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, CNN political contributor Van Jones, and others to launch the REFORM Alliance.

A judge has finally ruled in a $1.8 million breach of contract lawsuit filed by his former representatives at a company called iGo Marketing & Entertainment.

(AllHipHop News) Lizzo gave herself some liquid courage by sipping tequila onstage at the MTV Video Music Awards on Monday.
The singer/rapper delivered a show-stopping performance of her hit “Truth Hurts” during the show, which included an inflatable booty prop – a nod to the star’s signature twerk.
And speaking shortly after coming off stage, the star revealed what was in the mysterious bedazzled bottle that she sipped from before addressing the audience after her song.
“So this is a bottle of tequila,” the 31-year-old revealed. “Now here’s the tea: I wasn’t allowed to have a full bottle of tequila, so we had one shot. And I took the whole shot on accident right before my speech.
“So I was lit! Whatever I said, I don’t remember.”
In the empowering speech, the “Juice” singer urged fans to ignore the “bulls##t” and learn to love themselves, adding: “It’s so hard trying to love yourself in a world that doesn’t love you back. So I want to take this opportunity to just feel good as hell because you deserve to feel good as hell!”
And Lizzo later said that the whole performance was “a moment,” admitting: “It was a spiritual catharsis for all of us. It was a release. We were feeling good as hell and the whole crowd felt good as hell and hopefully the whole world.
(AllHipHop News) The two men in the cross-hairs of Dave Chappelle’s Michael Jackson jokes have come forward to reply to the funnyman’s wisecracks about their alleged molestation.
The comedy legend’s new stand-up show debuted on Netflix on Monday night and contained explosive material about the allegations James Safechuck and Wade Robson made about Jackson in the HBO documentary “Leaving Neverland” earlier this year.
“I don’t believe these motherf##kers,” Chappelle said of the two accusers, before telling his audience not to watch the two-part film, because it’s “f##king gross.”
I mean, it’s Michael Jackson. I know more than half the people in this room have been molested in their lives, but it wasn’t no g###### Michael Jackson, was it? This kid got his d##k sucked by the King of Pop. All we get is awkward Thanksgivings for the rest of our lives. You know how good it must have felt to go to school the next day after that s##t?” “I’m heartbroken for all those children who look to see how they will be received when they finally find the courage to speak out about their sexual abuse,” James Safechuck said in a statement. ‘I just want to reach out to other survivors and let them know that we can’t let this type of behavior silence us. Together we are strong.”
“It’s unfortunate that he has chosen to use his platform to shame sexual abuse victims, and spread his ignorance of sexual abuse and the way it is perpetrated upon children, in an attempt to resurrect his career,” added Wade Robson’s lawyer Vince Finaldi added.
During his candid set, the 46-year-old also said he was “pretty sure” R. Kelly was guilty of charges relating to the alleged sexual abuse of underage girls.
And added he had been asked to appear in the investigative documentary series “Surviving R. Kelly,” but declined, as he didn’t know the R&B singer.
Ras Kass is one of the dopest lyricist to grace the West Coast, period. In fact, he’s probably your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper on the low.
Ras Kass, real name John Austin IV, has been spitting since the early 2000’s.
He has undeniably solidified his name in the hip-hop space and has never switched up for anyone.
Now, Ras Kass follows up his 1996 debut Soul On Ice (via Priority Records) with a part 2, enlisting a gang of both producers and artists including Diamond D, Pete Rock, Snoop Dogg, Immortal Technique, Justice League, Cee-Lo Green, DJ Green Lantern, Everlast, Styles P and M.O.P.
AllHipHop: What was the inspiration behind your name?
Ras Kass: He’s actually a real person, an Ethiopian king.
AllHipHop: Are you Ethiopian?
Ras Kass: I’m not, I’m Creole. Historically, he and Menelik II were fighting for control over a particular part of Ethiopia. He was Yohannes IV and I’m John the 4th.
AllHipHop: Who’s in your Top 5?
Ras Kass: I don’t got a Top 5. KRS-One is my favorite rapper. He’s my favorite favorite favorite, there aren’t too many after that. He’s my favorite because it was smart and it was gangster.
He could do entertainment and tell you history dates, he was beating cats and throwing them off stage. Album covers with 9mm’s. Everything else… there’s too many. I probably couldn’t get a top 50. There are really dope amazing MCs and some aren’t as popular as the others.
AllHipHop: Any new guys?
Ras Kass: Lots of them. I named Ab-Soul, there’s a lot of dope people. It’s unfair to do that unless… I had this idea: every 4 years, it’s almost like going for President. There should be this Olympics, all the proceeds go to a charity. You take whoever thinks you’re nasty, the people vote. 5 topics, you have 16 bars and you have an hour. No one gets to talk before, they draw ‘em out and put you in a room with no cell phone, no sidekick. Everyone gets the same beat at the same time. You can watch it, livestream it.
Whoever smokes it, you get to lay your version. You get to hear the next person. All 50, let’s see who can write on the spot. You have to mention these 5 topics that the world voted for, and you’ll find out that half these n##gas are trash. [chuckles] And not that smart.
I don’t want to not mention people, so many dope people and it might be the dude we haven’t heard of. Little dude that’s 14 from Ireland you don’t know, it’s dope people everywhere.
AllHipHop: How has the state of hip-hop changed?
Ras Kass: The state of hip-hop is the same. Now there’s a predominant form, the popular one that girls like.
Whatever the girls like is what the guys like, that would be trap music basically. That’s fine, it can all exist. Aesthetically, I like trap beats.
AllHipHop: Talk about linking with Styles P & Lil Fame on “Guns N Roses.”
Ras Kass: I’ve been acquainted with those brothers individually for years. Actually me and The Lox had the same management for a while, so I’d always see Fame out with Statik Selektah at different clubs and bars in New York.
I was on a song with him back in the day with M.O.P for Big Jaz-O who Jay Z just signed. That’s Hov’s big homie, so I used to be in the studio with them and he put me on record.
I heard the beat and felt “this could be sick.” It was really dope to be able to reach out to both of them, they nailed it for me. I’m a big Lox fan and M.O.P fan.
AllHipHop: 3 things you need in the studio?
Ras Kass: Cigarettes. I roll my own little buglers, I need that. A little bit of Jameson, or coffee. A little water, little Jameson, a little coffee. That’s when I first go in because I like to work early. I work at noon. Some kind of snacks.
AllHipHop: What kind of snacks do you like?
Ras Kass: Louise’s Trattoria: chicken fettuccine alfredo. It’s this spot on Hollywood, they have a few of them. They have the sun-dried tomatoes that’s fire.
AllHipHop: Anything you want to let us know?
Ras Kass: The lyric book (for Soul On Ice 2) is available with Patchwerk in Atlanta, we partnered up. This is the prototype. It’s a companion piece to the album. The album will be dropping September 6th.
(AllHipHop News) Azealia Banks stays in some drama. The “212” rapper ran into some problems when she was trying to leave Stockholm, Sweden.
Azealia Banks maintains she was racially profiled on her Scandinavian Airlines flight to Los Angeles today (August 27).
Azealia took to her Twitter account, where she posted footage of an encounter with a woman.
Apparently, the woman thought the rapper and her boyfriend were having sex on the flight.
The dispute escalated when Azealia Banks claimed one of the crew members on the flight assaulted her.
So far, no one has been charged, but a rep for Scandinavian Airlines released a statement.
“We can confirm that there was an incident on the flight to Los Angeles from Arlanda,” a rep told The Blast in a statement. “A passenger’s behavior toward other passengers and flight staff caused the legal authorities to be contacted, and they were present when the aircraft landed in Los Angeles. We cannot provide any further information surrounding our passengers onboard.”.
