(AllHipHop News) Bronx, New York rapper Mysonne has a major problem with Young Thug. Thugger hit the headlines earlier this week, when footage of the Atlanta berating airline employees went viral, and sparked some outrage on the Internet.
Young Thug was p##### at the airline employees and decided to film himself offering one of the female agents, as they attempted to duck out of the camera’s view.
Young Thug also slammed the staff members as “peasants” and “ants” and then pulled out $15,000 and offered the cash to the women to quit their jobs.
While it’s not clear what exactly sparked the argument, Young Thug was unable to board his flight and, as a result, had to cancel his Seattle performance, which has since been rescheduled for Monday.
Mysonne, who has become known for his activism within Hip-Hop over the past decade, in addition to checking rappers, blasted Young Thug in a post on Instagram, and questioned Young Thug’s place in Hip-Hop and his membership in the Bloods.
“You know what I think what’s happening now is we move so far from consciousness as black men that we don’t even have a standard,” Mysonne said. “You know, we just accept anything. People get a little celebrity status, they can say and do anything and we just make excuses for them or they’re young and you got to understand and like you don’t know, you don’t got to understand. Because I was young before and I done some dumb s##t, but there’s a certain level of stupidity that’s not even acceptable.”
Mysonne was not amused with Young Thug’s antics, and slammed the Atlanta rapper for his respose to belittling the women, who were simply trying to do their job.
“If a ni##a put a b##ch in place for playing games, y’all try to bash ’em. Y’all be the same motherf##kers to upload 15 black girls around this motherf##ker fighting and trying to kill each other with knives and bats and s##t.”
Mysonne wasn’t amused, nor impressed and he urged the Hip-Hop community to hold the artists to higher standards.
“The sh##t that Young Thug did, it’s just like, what, that could have been somebody’s mother, what if that was my mother that was working in that airport? You know what I would’ve wanted to do to that man?.”
Bronx, New York producer Amadeus has landed hit records for a lot of big acts. Artists like 50 Cent, Jennifer Lopez, Young Jeezy, Chris Brown, Fabolous and T.I. have turned to the producer’s Platinum Boy production company for hit records.
In addition to his own hard work and enterprising spirit, the producer, born Antwan Thompson, credited Hip-Hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs for teaching him valuable lessons, as a member of the legendary production team, The Hitmen.
AllHipHop.com: One of the first bosses is your man, Diddy. I’ve got to ask you, I’ve got to ask you … How is it working with that man?
Amadeus: It’s very inspiring. It was very inspiring. It was very motivating. You know, I’m one of the newest hit men. I was a baby when they were working on Big and Faith and 112 and that’s when I was really inspired to become a producer. Just to even be able to be a part of that legacy was just like, wow. I’m hitting it, man. You know what I’m saying? We were talking about it earlier, I came in with Sherry Dennis and Danity Kane and Day 26 and when he was doing … “Making The Band” and that era. Just being around and watching him put together records for Press Play.
I watched him put together records for the Dirty Money album, Last Train to Paris and just seeing this dude work is like … It’s everything that you think it is. The endless hours and coming from the offices and I’m sure having meetings all day and just then transforming into … From CEO to artist mode and really pushing the creative envelope.
One thing about him it’s like he knows what he wants and he knows how to explain it. It’s just about you understanding what it is and delivering. I would be challenged, man. I would be making beats and making beats and making beats and he’d be like, “I like that … almost.”
It’s like just when you think you got it, it’s like, “Nah, go back.” That’s dope because it challenges you as a record producer. Imagine if we always … We nailed it on the first shot. How dope are we really? You know, is it really dope or are you settling? So he’s always someone that’s challenging to work with. Like I said, very inspiring, very motivating.
When you see him now … This is years later. I’m sure he’s about to reach 50 pretty soon and it’s like man, are you still going? And he’s like, “Yeah,” and he’s on top. So that’s like, wow. He’s dope. He’s just hands down, dope and if you’re not inspired by him then I don’t know what to tell you. Even not working with him. Even not being a part of the team, just watching him on Instagram and seeing him move and having his DeLeon tour and the Ciroc tour and doing this and doing that. It’s like man, you still going? Revolt … and you’re like, man.
AllHipHop.com: Yeah I look at him on Instagram and he’s getting his hair cut and he’s just popping off. You’re just like, “Yo, Diddy’s popping off.” Sometimes he says something about Barak, I’ll be like, “Yo, Diddy.” But you know, that’s power.
Amadeus: People are listening and if you’re in that position to have that power to influence the masses, why not? At the end of the day, it’s his feelings, it’s his thoughts, it’s his emotions. There’s no right and wrong to it, it’s just how you feel.
AllHipHop.com: Has he ever cussed you out?
Amadeus: Nah. No cuss outs, man.
AllHipHop.com: No cuss outs? Okay.
Amadeus: No cuss outs. But we’ve … Of course I respect him as a mogul, as a king, as a man, as a label owner, as a CEO and a producer and musician. But I’ve earned that respect as well as an individual, as a dude that works hard. He respects me, he respects my family and respects me as a God fearing man and we’ve connected on that level as well, besides the musician and the musicianship. So that’s dope to be able to have that type of place with him. There’s so many people that’s surrounding him and so many people that surround, so to be able to be respected in that light is definitely a blessing.
You know, I ran into him … I think we were doing [a] festival in Vegas and I [hadn’t] seen him in maybe about a year. I ran into him in the dressing room. Me, him and Tre [Songs] and Kevin Liles and he didn’t know it was me.
I’m like, “Yo,” and he turned around and he’s like, “Yo,” and gave me the illest hug and just for that to come from someone like him, it’s just like, wow. I don’t take that lightly. We’ve known each other and you’ve seen me grow as a person, as a musician, as a producer. You’ve been supportive of me from the start. I’m honored to sit here, still being a part of the game, still being relevant. Even to wear this, man. Everybody can’t wear this.
When I go through the airports or I walk, people always stop me and show love and it’s funny how like … I guess I look like a producer because people always nail it. They’re like, “Oh man, are you part of Bad Boy?” I’m like, “Yeah, yeah, yeah, no doubt.” “Producer,” and I’m like, “How do you know?” I guess I just carry that musicianship and that producer look.
AllHipHop.com: Yeah, that’s that energy.
Amadeus: But I wear it with honor and I wear it with respect. It’s a huge legacy. You know, 20 years, so to be a part of that 20 years it’s like, man.
(AllHipHop News) Troy Ave might be facing attempted murder charges, but that hasn’t stopped the rapper from offering up some inspiring words to a group of high school students earlier this week in New York.
Troy was a guest of professor Christopher Emdin at Teachers College at Columbia University and served as a motivational speaker to 20 high school students.
He even showed the students his ankle bracelet, which monitors his whereabout as he remains free on $500,000 bail. “This comes from choices, choices I had to make at the time,” Troy Ave told the students. “It was either fight for my life or fight for my freedom. Now I gotta fight to clear my name.”
Professor Edmin said that Troy represented a powerful story of redemption to his students, some who are at risk, and have already been suspended, or kicked out of school altogether.
“It’s always more powerful to show a story of redemption than the story of a hero,” Emdin told The New York Daily News.
“Only way that I give Shia LaBeouf a pass, he got to put me in the next Transformers movie. Put me in the movie,” Soulja Boy snapped in a social media post. “Put me in something. Put me in a TV show, and you can come to Atlanta, and I’d do a song with you and we squash the beef.”
Shia’s latest freestyle also name checked Drake, Lil Yachty and Peter Rosenberg.
While Drizzy will probably never reply, Peter Rosenberg replied with some bars of his own.
Now Soulja said he’s also thinking about releasing some new music aimed at Shia LaBeouf, since it’s the second time he’s name checked the “Crank That” hitmaker.
Shia also threw shade at Soulja during a freestyle on “Sway in The Morning.”
“He keep making songs. He keep dissing me, he keep dissing me. You know what? I’m going to go to the studio, and I’m going to drop my diss song,” Soulja Boy said.
(AllHipHop News) Rapper Brisco was taken into custody earlier this week, after agents connected him to a South Florida based fraud ring.
The feds claim Brisco, born British Mitchell, was responsible for at least $200,000 worth of criminal activity.
They also claim he sold counterfeit money to an undercover agent. According to the Sun/Sentinel, the rapper had been wanted since August when he led agents on a high speed pursuit in Broward County.
Another chase ensued in Miami-Dade County, where speeds reached up to 100 mph.
Investigators tracked Brisco down earlier this week, when another performer posted that he would be making an appearance at a Hallandale Beach strip club.
He was taken into custody without incident. Brisco, who has worked with artists like Rick Ross, DJ Khaled and Lil Wayne, is currently facing eight federal charges and is being held without bond.

Coast To Coast, Owned by Three Young Black Men Committed to bringing fashion to a city known for its music.
Based in Nashville, TN. C to C is one of the hottest emerging urban apparel brands for millennials on the go.
The new clothing company sets itself apart with designs inspired by cultures across the globe. The designs are creatively integrated into its fresh new collection of long sleeve crew necks, custom [INSPIRE] jacket, and signature [Make Wave$] hoodie. Every product, in order to simulate how culture and fashion change in today’s digitally driven age is unique and never restocked.
The brand’s earlier releases included The Wave Tee, an elongated t-shirt made from polyester which featured different variations of waves wrapped around the shirt. In addition to the Wave Tee, the Flag Bucket Hat creatively featured flags from Japan, South Africa and Brazil, strategically stitched together in order to represent unity and world peace.
In the unreleased Holiday Capsule, the brand outlines four very dominant pieces which include the Blue “Make Wave$” hoodie. “This hoodie represents where I see the company now says Evan Mann, part owner of CtC. We’ve learned a lot from our past mistakes and are confident in who we are as a brand. That confidence is what allows us to make waves in fashion to achieving the success we’ve been working for.”
In addition to the “Make Wave$” hoodie, the young men decided to create a very stylish multi-zipper bomber jacket with the word Inspire wrapped around the right arm of the jacket. “The Inspire Bomber Jacket represents where I see the company in the future, says part owner William BeAird, it’s design has a refined, luxury feel to it. I see Coast to Coast Sailing Co. becoming a major brand in the industry, providing inspiration for other young people to achieve their own dreams and success.”
“The Grid Tee represents the stage where we really came to know our brand identity, Owner Justin Miller said. As a result it features the three words that make up the core of our company’s message, [Explore. Create. Inspire.] The actual GRID represents us becoming more strategic in how we move business wise.”
The three college students agreed to mold their love of the West and East Coast cultures together to launch a new brand based on their life experiences.
“The Lighthouse Tee represents the struggles we experienced in the beginning of our career, finding our own path. The worn edges around the picture are a visual representation of us making it through the hard times. The lighthouse represents the hope and determination that has guided us through those times.
Where we’re from, people don’t get out much. We’re fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to grow up in families who traveled the world. Using our experiences and our brand’s unique fashion, we want to encourage people to get out of their comfort zones, we want to encourage them to explore new places, meet new people and take in new experiences,” says Justin Miller.
Coast to Coast is a unique brand with owners who come from totally different backgrounds. The diversity makes it possible for everyone to relate to our brand which encourages us to Explore, Create and Inspire.
Side note: My favorite is the bomber jacket! Definitely a tasteful item. I’m looking forward to rocking that during Christmas.

The Contemporary R&B singer, songwriter and producer, TeeFlii – who brought you radio hits “24 Hours” and “This D” — drops a serious reminder of why he’s one of the West Coast’s hottest artists, with the release of his highly anticipated new double album “Annie R U O’Tay 5.”
The L.A. artist gets creative with his latest project “Annie R U O’Tay 5” with a creative cassette tape throwback touch featuring two sides: Side A is strictly all TeeFlii, and Side B spotlights the West Coast star teaming up with the likes of Glasses Malone, Keke Palmer, Casey Veggies, Dom Kennedy and more.
“I’ve put a lot of hard work and dedication into this project. A lot of people weren’t around to help me on this project. No [DJ] Mustard, no YG…just ME,” notes the LA native. “It’s pretty much just me going ahead with what I believe. I want everyone to know how much this project means to me and how hard we worked. I mean, we started off creating this project in hotel rooms, ya feel me. It took a lot to get this project to where it is.”
The fifth installment of TeeFlii’s original “Annie R U O’Tay” series – which began with Vol. 1 in 2012, produced by DJ Mustard and the Futuristiks — showcases his unique vocals, raunchy lyrics, and true talent as an artist and a songwriter.
“I wanted to show the growth of TeeFlii on this new project and show that you don’t always have to have a feature to get your point across as an artist,” TeeFlii says. “My music is raunchy and straight to the point. I say things a lot of other singers think about singing, but they are too scared or shy to express. I give them hope to be able to say the things they actually want to say.”
(AllHipHop News) Ab-Soul is back with his latest album Do What Thou Wilt.
The TDE emcee opens the collection with a song called “RAW (backwards)” which includes a few bars directed at Jay Electronica.
Soulo rapped in part:
I was like a swami of Jay Electronica until he
Figured Dizzle wouldn’t admit that he would body him for a milli
I told Kenny keep quiet, I’ma get him
We don’t need dirt on your hands getting the key to the city ya feel me
Hurts when your OG, who is supposed to be a G-O-D
Is standing next to King Kunta feeling like Toby
Moos what I gotta do boy?
I’m just waiting on your cue to take him to school boy!
F### all this wordplay
Top, tell these f###### stooges I’m dangerous, keep away!
Mayday
Watch the throne, my n-gga, watch the throne
How you gon’ compare the king to a gnome?
How you gon’ compare Jango Fett to the clones?
The game can celebrate today cause daddy’s home
“He’s got eleven Grammy nominations, y’all not equal”
Man f-ck these white people
My grandma died at 82, scrubbin’ floors
And n-ggas still running round begging for awards
Is he Jedi or is he Sith?
Is he Neo in the Matrix or Mr. Smith?
During an interview with The Breakfast Club, Ab-Soul explained the reasoning behind his response to Electronica.
“That was a conscious decision for me to tell Kendrick not to address it. I feel like I had a spiritual relationship with Jay Electronica,” said Ab-Soul.
He continued, “Dot was going up for the Grammys. I just really didn’t like that. We’re really brothers, and Kendrick’s album wasn’t even about that. His album was a real positive album… I had to step in and say something.”
Ab-Soul told the Power 105 crew that Electronica was aware of the verbal assault before the LP was released because he performed the lyrics at Pro Era’s Steez Day Festival.
However, the Carson, California-bred spitter has not heard from J.E. about “RAW (backwards).”
(AllHipHop News) Young Thug is still responding to the backlash from posting a video online where the Jeffery mixtape creator insulted female airport employees.
Thugger returned to the internet with a series of Instagram videos.
He said in part:
Y’all so much of hypocrites. If a n-gga puts a b#### in place for playing games, y’all try to bash them. But y’all be the same motherf-ckers that upload fifteen black girls fighting, trying to kill each other with knives and bats, and posting n-ggas laying cold-blooded and got shot down in the street on the motherf-cking internet. But try to go to the extreme with the situation I had when a hoe made me miss a $150,000 show.
He added:
Y’all ain’t ever seen me on the internet arguing with black people. I’m not against blacks. I’m black. F-ck wrong with you? Black Lives Matter forever. I just don’t do politics. Y’all saying y’all don’t feel like I’m black because this and that. And I don’t ever say nothing about Black Lives Matter. I just choose not to get into that because I know me. I’m the type of person that’s going to be like, “If we ain’t gonna stand up for our culture and kill and get this sh-t together, it ain’t no use for me speaking on it.” I ain’t gonna speak on something and then nothing be done about it. I don’t respect n-ggas who say “Black Lives Matter” and don’t do nothing to help black lives.
According to Thug, the airport employees were rude and caused him to miss his flight to Seattle where he was scheduled to perform.
The 300 Entertainment representative chastised people that tried to suggest the airport incident meant he had an issue with all people of color.
He added:
Don’t take a situation about me arguing with these two black, p-ssy ass hoes for making me miss my money, and try to mix everybody black in to it. I wasn’t talking about everybody, lames. I was talking about them.
Thug then continued his attack on “fake ass rappers” by blasting some of them for not doing more to financially assist their families and fans.
(AllHipHop Rumors) Someone wake the Beyhive up because it might be time to STING.
The Grammmy nominations were announced earlier this week, and it was revealed that Queen Beyonce has nine nods this year, making her the most nominated female artist in Grammy history.
After the racist backlash she received at the Country Music Awards, many of her fans began side eyeing The Academy wondering if Bey could’ve been eligible for more nominations.
Rumor has it, that she would’ve actually been eligible for more, but allegedly the Grammy’s Country Committee rejected her COUNTRY song “Daddy Lessons.”
According to Billboard, an insider who is very familiar with the Grammy nomination process told the Associated Press that Beyoncé allegedly submitted her song “Daddy Lessons,” to the country category.
The source chose to remain anonymous because they are not supposed to speak publicly about the matter. The insider did go on to say that the Country Music Committee did not accept the song though.
If the song was accepted, Beyoncé would have been eligible to be nominated for categories such as “Best Country Song,” and “Best Country Performance.”
When Beyonce performed the song with the Dixie Chicks at the CMAS, she received a warm welcome from Country artists like Dierks Bentley and Blake Shelton, but a lot of hate from other country artists, and their fans.
I don’t know man. I kind of want Bey to have a Kanye West moment about this one. LOL. What are your thoughts?
It appears that Funkmaster Flex is still NOT here for the 6 God!
Remember Flex wasn’t too excited about Drake telling an audience at Madison Square Garden a while back that he’d stop by Hot 97 if they fired the veteran DJ and personality.
As usual, Flex took to Twitter to inform his fans that he had something up his sleeve for Drizzy. Flex went on a 23-minute rant dropping all kinds of bombs for Drake. He informed Drake that he was no threat to him, and he didn’t fear losing his job at the station.
Flex also made it clear that he did not feel like Drake was in the top 5 rappers list, as he’s not down with the ghostwriters.
Well if you were ever wonder would Flex move past his issues with Drake, the answer is probably not. Flex took to Instagram to post a jab at Drake with a Biggie meme with a caption that read,
(AllHipHop News) A significant number of Hip Hop artists chose to wait until the last month of 2016 to drop new bodies of work.
In particular, December 9th became the release date for a good number of rap albums.
J. Cole’s 4 Your Eyez Only, Ab-Soul’s Do What Thou Wilt, Post Malone’s Stoney, Tech N9ne’s The Storm, Yasiin Bey & Ferrari Sheppard’s December 99thall arrive today.
Fellow Hip Hop representatives Charles Hamilton, CJ Fly of Pro Era, and Hodgy of Odd Future dropped their respective projects Hamilton, Charles, Flytrap, and Fireplace: TheNotTheOtherSide as well.
Next week is expected to feature new projects from Kid Cudi (Passion, Pain & Demon Slayin’), The Lox (Filthy America… It’s Beautiful), and Gucci Mane (Return of East Atlanta Santa).
M City Jr is a proverbial hit-making machine. The Detroit rapper returned with “Diddy’d That,” a song of conversion jawns into dimes. Basically, he’s remixing the ladies, if you get it. The infectious song has already caught in the hood and now the internets are next. Shout out to M City. This is a follow up to hits like “B**ch Bye” and “Addicted To My Ex.” Listen up below.
(AllHipHop Rumors) Say no to drugs kids. Soulja Boy has to be on something.
It’s pretty safe to say that everyone wants Soulja Boy to stop with these ridiculous “fake” rap beefs. However, Soulja hasn’t yet decided to let his beef with Migos member Quavo go.
We know Soulja Boy is on something because he thinks he started the internet. Soulja you may have had a run with the ringtone era friend, but the internet was started, and poppin’ long before you forced your way into our musical lives.
Soulja Boy says he put the Migos on, and he has more followers than anyone he’s ever beefed with, so how could he possibly be beefing with anyone for a publicity stunt. SB says if it weren’t for him, none of these other rappers would be on.
Soulja also claims that he is the President’s daughter’s favorite rapper. He already “reminded” y’all that he supposedly still has 50 Cent’s backing and protection, and now he believes he has the Secret Service’s protection as well, because he’s allegedly one of the President Obama’s daughter’s favorites.
When Soulja Boy says “PUBLICITY” in his rant, we can’t help but to fall out laughing. Carry on.
(AllHipHop News) Kanye West showed off new blonde hair during his first appearance since he was hospitalized as he attended an art installation in Los Angeles on Thursday night (December 8).
The “Bound 2” hitmaker spent nine days at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Medical Center, when he was admitted for a mental evaluation after reportedly suffering from exhaustion and sleep deprivation.
He was released into the care of his personal physician on November 30 and is now recuperating at home while wife Kim Kardashian and their two children are reportedly staying with her mother Kris Jenner.
In his first public outing since the medical drama, Kanye decided to attend the Rick Owens: Furniture exhibition at the MOCA Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood.
The rapper has long been an art fan, and looked in good spirits as he sat on a wooden chair for the snap taken by artist Giovanni Bassan, who captioned it on social media: “K s in da house (sic)”.
In the picture, Kanye is seen wearing a grey sweatshirt, black pants and white sneakers, while fans were quick to comment on his newly-dyed hair.
The 39-year-old’s outing came as his close friend Fonzworth Bentley opened up about the reasons behind Kanye’s meltdown, putting it down to the ninth anniversary of his mother Donda’s death.
“He never mourned his mother, and that’s at the root of this, and you don’t have to be a clinical psychologist to figure that out,” Fonzworth told the Tequila Avion podcast Rich Friend: The Elevated Conversation. “That is at the core of this. I think a lot of these things are coming up and coming out now.”
He also said Kim’s traumatic armed robbery ordeal, when she was bound and gagged by a group of masked men wielding guns in Paris, France, in October had a massive effect on Kanye’s mental state, as did the negative reviews he got for his Yeezy Season 4 show at New York Fashion Week.
Kanye’s hospitalization came just hours after he made the call to cancel the remaining dates of his “Saint Pablo Tour.”
But the singer didn’t take that decision lightly, and called everyone together backstage at his concert in Sacramento, California, to break the news before it hit headlines.
Fonzworth also dismissed recent allegations that Kanye and wife Kim are set to divorce, insisting the reality star is by her husband’s side as he gets back on track.
(AllHipHop News) Baton Rouge rapper NBA YoungBoy’s budding career has been derailed, thanks to recent attempted murder charges.
The 17-year-old rapper, who has recently released tracks with artists like Boosie Badazz, Kevin Gates and 21 Savage, has been charged with two counts of attempted first-degree murder.
NBA YoungBoy, born Kentrell Gaulden, was arrested last month at a show in Austin, Texas. On December 7, he was booked into the East Baton Rouge Juvenile Court, is currently being held on $200,000 bond.
This is not his first brush with the law.
The rapper also did a six-month stint in a juvenile detention center in Tallulah, Louisiana, where he wrote songs for his 2015 debut mixtape, “Life Before Fame.”
Even though NBA YoungBoy is under the age of 18, he can still be tried as an adult under Louisiana law.
(AllHipHop News) Longtime production partners Boi-1da and Vinylz once again teamed up for “Deja Vu” off J. Cole’s new album 4 Your Eyez Only.
The track for “Deja Vu” resembles Bryson Tiller’s “Exchange.”
1da and Vinylz took issue with Foreign Teck of The Mekanics for creating a beat they claim was originally their work.
“Maybe [Foreign Teck] can explain why to y’all why [Bryson Tiller’s] ‘Exchange’ and ‘Deja Vu’ sound similar… right [Vinylz]?” Boi-1da posted on Twitter.
Teck responded with, “damn [Boi-1da] wake up everyday tryna come for me lmao i’m honored. at the end of the day you one of my favorite to ever do it man.”
The two producers exchanged more tweets, and Vinylz added his thoughts to the online conversation as well.
“Lol thief .. all good tho.. our run continues as always without stealing sh-t …we create not remake..,” tweeted Vinylz.
He added, “I sent this thief a video of me making the ‘Deja Vu’ beat..a week later he post a beat on ig with the same drums. I made him take it down. He said ‘I’m sorry bro.. I was inspired . I look up to you’ few months later he decides to remake the whole beat and give it to Bryson.”
Then Teck posted, “here’s how honest i am [Vinlyz] the drums off you know were definitely your drums i was 19yrs old and just really learning sh-t. ‘Exchange’ however [Vinlyz] i made myself and sent it to [Daniel Worthy] to finish. he got stuck on it and never sent it back.”
The Florida native then blasted Boi-1da and Vinylz for claiming to own certain sounds.
Maybe @ForeignTeck can explain why to y’all why Exchange and Deja Vu sound similar… right @Vinylz ?
Hmmm and “you know” by meek mill..is the exact pattern as “Deja Vu” I rest my case man… thank you for telling the ppl the truth . ? https://t.co/iK94m7B7mr
(AllHipHop Rumors) They say trolling is an art form!
Who knew Gucci Mane had such a sense of humor. Someone let this man know how the Grammy’s process works! I’d like to believe he’s truly trolling his fans for a good laugh here.
The announcement of Grammy nominations brings excitement and disappointment every single year. Some artists rejoice in happiness, some go on rants, and others post on social media about how disappointed they are, see Travis Scott.
Anyway, Gucci has been in great spirits since his prison release. So much so, that he’s super excited about his forthcoming project ‘The Return Of East Atlanta Santa.’
Gucci took to Twitter to express his disappointment in the album not being nominated for a Grammy. There’s one problem, the album isn’t even out yet, but according to Guwop, “that’s not the point.”
If his album would’ve been out earlier, do you think it would’ve been Grammy worthy? I’m just going to say Gucci clearly has a great sense of humor, and he’s trolling his disappointed peers with this one.
So you telling me #TheReturnofEastAtlantaSanta 🎅🏿🎅🏿didn't get nominated for a Grammy SMH. Pure Fuckery! I'm sick 😷 of it!!
One thing about him it’s like he knows what he wants and he knows how to explain it. It’s just about you understanding what it is and delivering. I would be challenged, man. I would be making beats and making beats and making beats and he’d be like, “I like that … almost.”
