(AllHipHop News) Wiz Khalifa is getting into the mobile gaming business with the release of his upcoming app.
The Pittsburgh rapper has partnered with design shop Metamoki to create a game called Wiz Khalifa’s Weed Farm.
The rapper’s game is interesting: users must cultivate and grow their own marijuana, and reinvest the proceeds successfully.
“It’s a fun game and I play it all the time. Better than Pokémon!” Wiz Khalifa said in a statement released today (April 12).
Wiz attempts to give users an authentic experience, by mirroring the current status of the legalized marijuana industry.
Makers of the game say “In subsequent releases, the player will be able to expand their operations across the US and eventually the entire world as weed is legalized within the game.”
Wiz Khalifa’s Weed Farm will be available in the Apple App Store and Google Play o 4/20, which is also an unofficial holiday for stoners.
(AllHipHop Rumors) I honestly and truly don’t know what to even make of rapper Troy Ave.
As you know the infamous Irving Plaza incident, last year, left his bodyguard, Ronald McPhatter dead from a violent shoot out that took place at the venue.
Troy soon after created a scholarship in his late friend’s name. In another plot twist surrounding the controversy of the night and life since, McPhatter’s family have struck down the scholarship and Troy Ave in general, as they have accused the rapper of using McPhatter’s death for street credibility.
The family wants to distance themselves from the rapper because they feel that him using McPhatter’s name in songs and referring to himself as the new Tupac, further solidifies that he’s hung up on this whole street cred thing.
Ronald McPhatter’s family recently asked that his name be removed from a $2,000 annual scholarship for graduating student athletes created by Troy Ave at New Utrecht High School, saying they don’t want anything to do with Ave who launched it in the wake of the Irving Plaza shooting that claimed the slain bodyguard.
“We hold him responsible for the death of our brother. My family is not trying to stop kids from getting money, but we don’t want him to use our brother as a publicity stunt. We didn’t get a call, none of us were aware of it until we saw it in the news,” said Jamie Albert, McPhatter’s sister.
“We’ve done nothing to him, but he’s exploited our family and this tragedy in such a negative way. He used our brother as a human bulletproof vest. Instead of apologizing, he bashes us and he disrespects and he talks down on us. We’ve been too gracious about some of the things that happened to our little brother,” she added.
Troy Ave is certainly Mr. Can’t Get Right! What are your thoughts?
(AllHipHop News) The jewelry rapper Boosie Badazz accused Mississippi authorities of stealing has been found in a police impound.
The hip-hop star blasted Biloxi cops in two Instagram videos posted online on Tuesday (April 11), when he slammed them for taking $1 million in accessories following a search of his van on Sunday (April 9).
Boosie explained his vehicle had been pulled over as he and his pals tried to leave Edgewater Mall after clashing with security officials in what he claimed was a racially-motivated incident, and five members of his entourage were subsequently arrested for assault.
The MC, formerly known as Lil Boosie, was not directly involved in the bust-up, but he claims the gold jewelry taken from the van belonged to him and he vowed to “fight” for its return.
Police chiefs initially denied Boosie’s allegations, but now the Biloxi department’s Public Affairs Manager Vincent Creel tells TMZ.com the jewelry has been found, admitting it was actually impounded, along with a stolen gun and the van itself.
Creel maintains Boosie and his crew were given instructions on how to get their valuables back, but they failed to follow through.
The gold jewelry was stashed in a suitcase along with the gun, which has yet to be claimed.
Boosie, real name Torrence Hatch, isn’t buying the cops’ explanation and in a new Instagram video, he questions why the jewellery only turned up after he made a fuss in public.
“I told you these mfs (motherf##kers) r (sic) thieves, racist etc. all of sudden it’s found smh (shaking my head),” he captioned the new post, adding, “I’ll see y’all n court (sic).”
(AllHipHop Rumors) As you know, back in January, Washington University in Saint Louis introduced a class for students that focuses on the “politics” of Kanye West.
Dr. Jeffrey McCune decided to switch things up a bit for his final lecture of the spring semester.
McCune will use West in a case study for mental illness as he explores the belief that Ye is both a “genius” as well as “crazy” at the same time, as far as society is concerned.
McCune’s goal with the lecture is to not just discuss Kanye West, but it’s to also explore the larger notion of “crazy” and how we address and utilize it.
The ‘Name One Genius That Ain’t Crazy: Kanye West and the Politics of Self-Diagnosis’ lecture explores how Yeezy Yeezy is sometimes labeled crazy because he acts outside the box that he believes society tries to put him in. It will also explore how race can play a part into one being called crazy.
“I want to give people permission to be enraged. Give people permission to be upset, to be angry, to be frustrated. Give people permission to have moments where they break. Give people permission to have moments where they experience depression. I want to give them permission to have those moments without being characterized as being some type of deviant figure in the community. I don’t want to take away that experience and call it crazy. It’s reasonable, and it must be addressed with love, compassion, care, generosity.”
For those interested, the lecture is open to the public today at 6 p.m. at Washington University.
(AllHipHop Rumors) The fall out following T.I. and Tiny’s previous [pending] divorce announcement keeps getting worse and worse.
Many now feel that T.I. basically friend zoned the heck out of Tiny during a recent interview with Angie Martinez. Tip referred to his marriage as a distraction, and stated that he’s a better best friend than a husband.
SMH!
Now remember Tiny and T.I.’s current side chick, Bernice Burgos, have already been trading all kinds of shots on Instagram! Bernice even took it so far to record a snap singing along to Tiny’s group Xscape’s music, and offering her the fade. Tiny told Bernice that while she was being petty, the man she spoke of [T.I.] was actually laying up with his wife.
90s fans couldn’t help but to hear Mokensteff’s “He’s Mine” while reading Tiny’s clap back. LOL!
Anyway Tiny has appeared to be slightly unbothered while all of this has been going down, but as you know, her best friends are some true riders, and one in particular, Sabrina, always gets in T.I.’s azz.
Sabrina took to Instagram to send a note to herself with Tip’s downfalls as her inspiration.
“Dear Self, Don’t give a man your good years, become a felon for him, let go of friends, give up your career to support his, don’t be too loyal because one day he might get to where y’all worked to hard to be and consider you a “DISTRACTION”. Love Always, Me,” said Sabrina.
I ain’t gon’ lie, seeing Tip call his marriage a distraction seemed crazy with Tiny holding him down all of this time.
Oh yeah, T.I. has also taken credit for “creating” trap music. T.I. says there was no such thing as trap music before him, and all we had was OutKast, Organized Noize and crunk music.
While speaking on his upcoming album, T.I. said he wanted to bring back the sound of his early days when he released his 2003 album ‘Trap Muzik’.
“We’re just gonna make sure we give everybody the best Tip album we can give them. I’m going for Trap Muzik on this, ’cause a lot of people don’t really know that I created trap music, like I got that old,” said T.I.
(AllHipHop Rumors) Omillio Sparks recently sat down with Doggie Diamonds and gives a funny account of the first time he and Jay Z heard Nas’ “Ether”.
HILARIOUS! Omillio said he and Jay Z were walking into Cheetah, and the DJ dropped “Ether” when him and Jay came into the club.
Omillio says that they felt the DJ played the record to intentionally disrespect Jay Z. Could you imagine hearing that for the first time especially since the songs starts with the, “F-ck Jay Z”?
Omillio explains that it was crazy and threw them up, and they were like hold on, we have to get to the studio fast because it can’t happen like this!
Sparks did explain that with being in the music business they had moments, so today he can’t really be mad about it.
According to Omillio, it was crazy because Nas really attacked Jay, and the public definitely was in Nas’ favor. Omillio says Jay Z was really laid back with it at the time, but when it came to Hot 97, they went up there to flame Mobb Deep and anyone else who were their opponents at the time.
Mannnnn that had to be an awesome time to be alive and of age in Hip Hop. Where were you the first time you heard “Ether”, and what were your thoughts?
(AllHipHop Features) Snoop Dogg is back and he’s got a new album coming called Neva Left. The album is appropriate on so many levels as the Long Beach O.G. has a career that spans over 20 years in the entertainment game. On Neva Left, Snoop returns to his roots in dope lyrics and dope beats and brings a gang of people with him. KRS-One, Too Short, DJ Battlecat and references to Slick Rick and Whodini. The album sounds like vintage, classic Snoop with a modern twist.
But this is more than just music and Snoop is more than a rapper.
Snoop Dogg has informally become one of the leaders of those speaking out about President Donald Trump. A rap song portrayed him pointing a toy gun to a clown that just happened to look a bit like The Donald. Recently he also was bestowed with the landmark honor of inducting friend and Death Row Records label mate Tupac Shakur into the Rock-N-Roll Hall of Fame. Check out this exclusive conversation with AllHipHop’s Chuck “Jigsaw” Creekmur and Snoop Dogg and understand the real reasons Snoop never left.
Neva Left drops May 19th.
On the direction of Neva Left:
“I wanted to make a record that could represent who I’ve always been. Who I’ve been for the past 25 years and at the same time put a brand new twist on it. Musically, sonically and lyrically. And just do what I do best. Representing hip hop, the way that I represent Hip-Hop.”
On the KRS One and Too Short features:
“A lot of the old school artists and music … it’ll never die. It’s all about how you present it. One thing we like to do is present music in a fashion to where it’s musically first and it makes you feel good. Dynamically, you can’t put a time or an era or period on it because it feels good right now. Anytime you play a record that feels good right now, it’s gon’ feel good later in life as well.”
On the difference between 2016’s Coolaid and this one:
“I believe that album was more about me creatively making a record that was about that moment. And really wasn’t about me making a statement. It was just me throwing a record out that I felt good about, ’cause I wanted to do it.
This one is more about a statement to be made as far as … I really wanted to go in and fine tune it. And make sure it was lyrically on point, the production was tight, the concept was on point. And that the record had a meaning. So, when people heard it and listened to it they knew what it was about as opposed to trying to figure it out.”
On collaborating with other song writers:
“I’m open to let other people get down with me ’cause that’s how I got my start, writing for Dr. Dre. I’m never too big to say you can’t write for me or present me something. But on the ‘Neva Left’ record I went in 100% by myself. ‘Cause I felt like it was statement time. Sometimes you gotta go to war by yourself. That way, in case it don’t work you get all the blame. And if it do work, you get all the blame.”
On his relationship with Tupac Shakur:
“We were like brothers. If you know anything about siblings. You argue, you fight, you love, you got each other’s back and you do anything for each other. That’s basically our relationship wrapped up in one big ball.”
On where the United States is at as a country:
“Man, I don’t know where we’re at as a country. It’s like [Trump] is running audibles at the line of scrimmage. What is his playbook? I’m sitting back watching like y’all. I don’t want to offend nobody and say nothing the wrong way, but at the same time I’m confused.”
(AllHipHop News) The world of entertainment has been rocked by the seemingly sudden death of comedian Charlie Murphy. Murphy died after a bout with leukemia. He was 57.
Many in the Hip-Hop community held Murphy in very high regard.
For example, rapper/comedian Jay Pharaoh tearfully remembered Murphy, who he said was “an uncle.”
Jay said, “My condolences to The Murphy Family and everyone that knew Charlie Murphy personally. He was literally as close to me as any of my uncle’s HE WAS MY UNCLE. It really hurts that I’m performing on the first stage he put me on this weekend and he’s not going to be able to be there physically. I loved him and I thank him for opening doors for me and always believing in me..my heart is sick right now. R.I.P uncle Charlie

Both Shad “Bow Wow” Moss and Ludacris went to social media to express their feelings of love and admiration.
“You a legend, you an icon, legends never die,” he said, “Rest easy. Rest in paradise.”
Ludacris said, “Man…up and at it…hearing about the news about Charlie Murphy, man. It has devastated me. May he rest in peace, man.

She is also the author of the pioneering civil rights book, Get It From the Drums.
So let me get this straight – in 2013, with a hostile congress and facing possible impeachment if he goes unilateral with an airstrike against Syria for using chemical weapons on its own people, President Obama, in keeping with a proper reading of the law, asked for congressional consent for an airstrike into Syria. The Republican congressional leadership said, “No.” Then-Citizen Trump, repeatedly told Obama to “stay the hell out of Syria” but now Don Trump and Republican congressional members are applauding the same airstrike and claiming victory at being ‘better than Obama?’ When in fact y’all blew 59 tomahawk missiles, price tag: at least $70 million and you did not hit the actual air strips, did not disable the airport and did not hit the chemicals. Plus you gave Putin an hour’s notice to move his boys, for good measure. The Syrian target, so-called, had planes back up and flying in 36 hours. Wow – very impressive double hit of two-faced hypocrisy. Me think white man speak with forked tongue. Don Trump giving Batman’s Two-Face a run for his money.
And you should have had congressional approval yourself, Don Trump. And a genuine Syria Policy too.
Don Trump – this ‘fixed’ show-bombing will NOT FIX your demonstrated affection for Russia and the paper trails left by you, Flynn, Manafort, Kushner and Bannon. By the way Don Trump – nice killing on that house you oversold to the Russians – what was your mark-up percentage on the Palm Beach mansion that went for $95 million? You guys are so slick. Y’all get a whole 3 hours before we all know what you’re up to. Congrats!
But Wait there’s more of the continuing madness that has befallen 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Here are just some of the worst mistakes:
Much Whiter White House
— National Security Adviser Michael Flynn forced out of office after only 24 days.
— Bye Bye Bannon tossed off the Security Council he had no business on in the first place
— ‘Repeal and Replace ObamaCare’ went down in flames as the Negotiator-in-Chief fails then quits like a spoiled millionaire.
— Trump immigration bans have themselves been banned by the Courts and found to be racially biased and Trump’s repeated anti-Muslim speeches were cited as proof of his anti-Muslim bias.
— Congressman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) had to recuse himself from leadership of the House Intelligence Committee probe into Trump’s affairs. Nunes’ insane behavior at the obvious behest of his boss, Don Trump, was just too bat-____ crazy. Nunes was supposed to represent the People of the United States in that Congressional investigation into Trump administration connections with Russia. Nunes blew it like a rank amateur. He blew it so bad, fellow Republican Senator John McCain told NBC, “I have not seen anything like it and it’s very disturbing.” Equally concerned about the country’s fate and fellow patriot, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham told NBC’s TODAY, Nunes’ behavior is “bizarre”… “he’s lost his ability to lead” and compared the Nunes White House charade to the comic bumblings of the inept Inspector Clouseau of Pink Panther movie fame.
Trump is apparently blind to the fact he is producing a whole new TV show of his moronic apprenticeship in the White House, soon to be renamed the ‘What House.’ How much televised proof does Trump have to create before he stops showing us he is the Most Ignorant Man in the history of the U-S presidency. I never thought anyone would beat George Dumya Bush for that title but here we are. And I guess we have Putin and Carl Rove to thank for it. Rove discovered you can train apes to perform in the White House and Putin bought an orangutan.
Trump told Obama to stay out of Syria and now blames Obama for staying out of Syria.
Trump continued his attempts to destabilize his own country by lying continually, while also calling actual provable facts, lies. His guilt and shame in this area is mammoth.
Trump shows he has no solid policy on anything. He’s too lazy and too ignorant to form actual policy concepts and does not know why such plans are important.
After tons of criticism on health care, his TrumpRyanCare fails in record time and Trump’s official response is – “Nobody knew healthcare could be so complicated.”
Nobody knew? Nobodyknew ? ? ? Everyone knew but you Don Trump. And now everyone also knows your prior gangsta blowhard statements on how you’re the only one who can fix things are ALL complete garbage.
He signs an Executive Order – no cameras please, shhhh – secret, that sold your privacy rights to the oligarch internet providers so now your search engine entries are going public and are effectively spying on you. They’ll be selling your info, behind your back, to whoever has the biggest bag of gold.
Trump fires patriot and Acting-Attorney General Sally Yates and U-S Attorney for New York, Preet Bharara, who had a number of Trump-related investigations underway. Yates, bless her heart, holds the keys to the Trump Timeline Kingdom which will show what a criminal ex-National Security Adviser, General Michael Flynn is and how far in advance Trump & Company knew it. Trump probably got Nunes to destroy his own career, skulking around the White House for spoon-fed bogus info, as a trick to block the upcoming Yates testimony, that indeed was canceled, for no actual reason. And all of that’s going on their permanent record cards too – it’s called ‘obstruction of justice’ and someone should indict Nunes, right after they indict Flynn. This is one tangled web they wove. This must be why they invented the term ‘rat’s nest.’
Meanwhile, every day that goes by, the evidence suggests Trump was illegally conducting secret business meetings behind President Obama’s backand Trump conducted those meetings or used others to conduct them in possible violation of the Logan Act and God knows what else with likely traitors, on the run from the law – I mean you Erik Prince – then suddenly Trump strategist for white supremacy, Steve Bannon, is removed from theNational Security Council’s Principals Committee, while Flynn desperately tries to cut an immunity deal. And if Flynn was Black, he’d be indicted by now. Someone better grab Flynn’s passport before he ends up in the Emirates with Erik Prince, mercenary kingpin of Blackwater infamy, who’s on the run because of his crimes against the People of the United States, et al.
TRUMP then attacks former genuine National Security Adviser Susan Rice, saying she
committed a crime without citing one shred of evidence regarding her reported unmasking the identities of Trump associates under surveillance, including the disgraced Russian and Turkish foreign agent, Michael Flynn.Like the inane Obama accusation, Trump is so ignorant of how our government works, he accuses people of things that government structures and protections do not allow. There’s a paper trail on it. And as if the attempted smackdown of Susan Rice wasn’t bad enough for his image.
— Don Trump then backs Bill O’Reilly in his nationally-outed, serial violation of women.
$13 million dollars and counting, in pay-outs for O’Reilly’s serial sex-based crimes against women and Don Trump says O’Reilly “didn’t do anything wrong,” spewing smack downs for women again. At least Mercedes Benz, [a brand named for and built by women] BMW and over 50 other sponsors know better. They pulled their ads Don Trump – they left.
— Don Trump’s budget was ‘dead on arrival’ and that quote’s from Republican Senator Lindsey Graham – who, like McCain, continues to impress, with his ability to tell the truth about Trump, regardless of party affiliation:
Sen. Graham on Trump budget proposal for State Dept. budget cut: "It's dead on arrival. It's not going to happen. It would be a disaster." pic.twitter.com/EeRNr6Gcmy
— NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt (@NBCNightlyNews) February 28, 2017
The budget was plain nasty – Trump even cut money to Meals on Wheels which feeds the sick and elderly.
Trump cuts funding to Meals on Wheels and others so he can give Billions to Billionaires, in tax breaks. When you hear them say, “The country doesn’t have the money for health care – Don’t you believe it. We’re so rich we give billions to billionaires and millionaires. That whole TrumpRyanCare bill was a massive tax-break enchilada for the top 2% and Medical/Insurance crew, wrapped in a flimsy healthcare tortilla.
And still in Trump’s first 100 days – make that 100 ‘Daze’d and confused
— FBI Director James ‘Was Playing Possum’ Comey finally announces he is investigating Trump administration members and Russia, in matters regarding the 2016 election attack on our country and other possible Trump connections to Russia. That long awaited probe will likely include former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort, Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner, Erik Prince, Attorney General J. Beauregard Sessions, Trump buddy Roger Stone, Flynn, Carter Page, former chief cover-upper Kellyanne CONway and on and on and on…..
— Comey’s FBI joins the United States Senate and the U-S House of Representatives for a total of at least 3 major Trump investigations.
— Trump has also lied by continually taking credit for business deals Obama put together. Conservative news outlet CNBC reported Trump stealing credit from Obama on the Ford- Michigan deal, Ford-Kentucky deal, Exxon’s Gulf Coast project, Charter Communications $25 Billion In-Sourcing project, Intel in Arizona and SoftBank of Japan.
— In the now infamous ‘Obama wire tapped me’ tweet, Trump lied about that, lied and implicated England to try and prove he didn’t lie about Obama, and further offended a genuine world leader and another staunch ally, Angela Merkel of Germany, when he wouldn’t shake her hand and lied about Germany owing the U-S money over NATO. The Germans are all paid up. They owe nothing. He lied again. I guess the real historic headline is – ‘100 Days of Lies and Soaring Incompetence.’
To cite again, the timeless wit of Congressman Charlie Rangle, Trump and his administration’s band of vapid embarrassments certainly ‘shatter the myth of white supremacy once and for all.’
(AllHipHop News) Rapper T.I. has silenced reconciliation rumors with his estranged wife Tameka “Tiny” Cottle after declaring marriage a distraction.
The “Live Your Life” hitmaker and his spouse of six years separated in December, when she filed for divorce.
The former couple has spent ample time together since the break-up, prompting rumors the divorce was on hold, but the hip hop star has denied they’re looking to get back together.
“There is no beef, we good, we straight,” he explained during an interview with New York radio station Power 105. “Everybody else (is) the one that got the problem. We see each other. We speak, we talk. We spend time together. We good. She’s still one of the best friends I have in the world. I can just be a better best friend than a husband.”
T.I., real name Clifford Harris, admitted his focus on work made him forget about the romance at home, and in light of his split, he’s not sure he’ll ever wed again.
“Ultimately man, I’m on a mission,” the hip-hop heavyweight declared. “I’m striving to take my family, its name and our legacy as far and high as it can possibly go. And in my life there will be two different things. There will be people, places and things that help me get there. And there will be people, places and things that distract and deter me from getting there.
“It seems to me that marriage and what marriage means and what marriage does – it’s just one of those things that’s going to distract and deter me. I just have a purpose and I don’t always have the time to do the thoughtful, considerate things that a husband should do.”
T.I. and Tiny, who first began dating in 2001, share three biological children together and he is also stepfather to his estranged wife’s eldest daughter Zonnique Pullins from a prior romance.
The rapper is also dad to three other kids from previous relationships.
(AllHipHop News) Kendrick Lamar held a cordial meeting with controversial political and religious leader Louis Farrakhan,
The 29-year-old rapper was all smiles as he met the Nation of Islam chief, who he namechecked while guesting on a verse on Big Sean’s 2013 hit “Control.”
Farrakhan posted pictures of their meeting, writing beneath one image, “I was very honored to meet and talk with my powerful brother and Hip-Hop artist Kendrick Lamar. The Cultural Revolution is On.”
Under another he added, “The artistic community has historically been in the vanguard of social change.”
In a speech last year, the 83-year-old religious leader lavished praise on Kendrick for his politically charged performance at the Grammy Awards, which saw the hip-hop star perform his track “The Blacker The Berry” while dressed as part of a prison chain gang.
In the speech hailing black artists for taking on political issues, Farrakhan also singled out Beyonce for her Super Bowl performance referencing revolutionary nationalist and socialist organization the Black Panther Party.
The meeting with Farrakhan comes ahead of Kendrick releasing the long awaited follow-up to his acclaimed 2015 album To Pimp A Butterfly, DAMN on Friday April 14.
(AllHipHop News) Rapper Tyga ran into some legal problems last night (April 11), in Hollywood.
According to reports Tyga was cuffed after he ran a stop sign in his brand new custom Mercedes-Benz G Series.
Although Tyga was initially cited for running the stop sign and having paper plates, police suspected him of driving under the influence, after leaving Avenue nightclub.
Tyga was handcuffed and taken to the station and luckily, passed all DUI tests.
According to TMZ.com, the police took Tyga to the station to conduct the sobriety test because of a growing crowd and the paparazzi swarming the rapper.
(AllHipHop News) Will Smith helped his son Jaden to prepare for a new movie project by chopping off his signature dreadlocked hairstyle.
The “Suicide Squad” star shared photos of the dramatic big chop on his Facebook page on Tuesday (April 11) including one snap which shows Will excitedly holding up the lopped off bundle of blonde dreads he’d just cut.
“Getting Jaden Smith ready for the first day of filming #LifeInAYear,” a grinning Will captioned the picture. “Maybe I should’ve used scissors?!”
Jaden can be seen in the of the photos sporting a short blonde afro.
The 18-year-old actor, who has appeared in several films alongside his famous father including The Pursuit of Happyness and box office flop “After Earth,” has cut his hair in preparation for a role in a new romantic drama, “Life in a Year.”
In the movie, Jaden will play teenager Daryn, who discovers his girlfriend Isabelle, played by Cara Delevingne, only has a year to live, so he sets out to give her a year’s worth of their life experiences in the time she has left.
“Empire” star and Oscar nominee Terrence Howard will also star in the movie as Jaden’s no-nonsense on-screen father, with Mitja Okorn directing.
Fellow New York rapper Mysonne is one of the people that took issue with Troy seemingly glorifying his legal problems and the violence he has encountered.
After addressing Troy in a video blog, Mysonne further explained his issues with the Brooklyn rapper during his own The Breakfast Club interview.
“My statements were that he was a bozo,” said Mysonne about Troy Ave. “I was so outraged just watching the interview because this man almost lost his life, this man is fighting for his life, this man is going to court facing real charges.”
He added about Troy’s gangsta tales, “It’s just not authentic. That’s not what I want you to tell my son. My son is watching. He might like some of your music. I like your music, so he might listen to your music and see you and be like, ‘That’s real.’ And if I don’t say it ain’t real, then I’m wrong. Because I know it’s not real.”
Mysonne also made it clear he does not have a personal problem with Troy Ave and is not looking to do him physical harm, but the Bronx native also does not want a friendship with the “Bang Bang” performer.
“I’ve been in a situation where I was around him when he said things that were totally dis-supporting to anything that I felt was real,” stated Mysonne. “So I said to myself, ‘This ain’t somebody I will call on. This is somebody I have to call out and say this ain’t real.'”
Troy was also blasted by Casanova when the “Don’t Run” rhymer uploaded a video making fun of the controversial The Breakfast Club interview.
Prior to the release of the Mysonne interview, Troy Ave posted a tweet directed at his critics.
“This is what all the fuss is about cause if I wasn’t successful they would have no interviews and no slander,” wrote Troy.
