Is Drake Ready To “Come Clean” During An Interview With Charlamagne Tha God & The Breakfast Club?

(AllHipHop News) When Drake and Charlamagne Tha God posted a picture of them together to their respective Instagram pages, many observers wondered if that connection would lead to something more.

Perhaps Drake would finally sit down with The Breakfast Club for an interview. The highly anticipated Q&A has yet to happen due to years of Charlamagne criticizing Drake about his music.

According to DJ Akademiks, a potential Drizzy/CTG public discussion could happen. The popular social media personality revealed on Twitch that he spoke with Charlamagne after the IG photos went viral.

“I was telling him Drake is not going to have an interview with y’all. Again, I can’t tell y’all everything. He mentioned on the podcast about what conversation he had. But I don’t know, it might happen,” said Akademiks. “I was about to bet him like, ‘I bet you will not get a Drake interview on Power 105.’ But he told me some things that Drake told him that he hasn’t divulged.”

He added, “All I can say to y’all is supposedly Drizzy is… in the likelihood of him doing an interview with a real Hip Hop outlet… supposedly he’s ready to come clean… Come clean like, ‘This is what music is going on with now and I’m gonna be the change.'”

Apparently, Charlamagne told Akademiks that Drake was honest about his creative process during their encounter at the “Summer Sixteen Tour” stop in New York City.

“I was like, ‘Even if he kept it trill with you there, ain’t no way he comes on an interview and keeps it trill like that,'” stated Akademiks. “Because if he does, he’s basically admitting, ‘I’m no longer in this top emcee sh-t no more.’ Like it’s a wrap.”

Subliminal Diss? Gucci Mane and Drake’s New Mixtape Titled “The Sixers”

Zaytoven sat down with DJ Vlad to offer up some details on Gucci Mane and Drake’s upcoming EP.

Zaytoven said the new EP is going to titled the “6’ers” since Drake calls Toronto “The 6” and Gucci is from Zone 6 in Atlanta.

The name is interesting, since Drake is beefing with Meek Mill, who is from Philadelphia. And as any NBA fan knows, the pro ball team is the Philadelphia 76er’s aka The Sixers.

“We were shooting a video for ‘Gucci’s Home’ and Drake just showed up… they got to talking, you know how Gucci is, and he was like aye man we oughta do something let’s do a tape together,” Zaytoven said.

Tyga’s Former Jewelers Team With Former Landlord’s Lawyers To Try And Collect Their Money

(AllHipHop News) Jewelry store owners are renewing their legal challenge against Tyga after the rapper was recently forced to pay up in a separate unpaid bill case.

The “Rack City” star faced being arrested when he returned to the U.S. after a judge issued a bench warrant earlier this month, when Tyga failed to show up in court as part of a long-running debt dispute with a landlord. While the property owner won a $480,000 judgment against Tyga back in March, the rapper never paid up.

Tyga finally settled the debt out of court, leading to the warrant being rescinded, and now staff at the Jason of Beverly Hills jewelry store are hoping for a similar success.

They have reportedly hired the landlord’s lawyers, Danny Abir and Boris Treyzon from Abir, Cohen, Treyzon, and Sal, to help them get the money Tyga has allegedly been owed them since January, 2014, according to TMZ.com.

Company executives filed a lawsuit against the rapper, real name Micheal Ray Stevenson, in 2013 for not returning a diamond Cuban link chain he borrowed in 2012, and for failing to pay for a diamond pantheon watch.

A judge sided with the firm in January, 2014 and ordered Tyga to hand over the full amount he owed, which totaled $208,330.

At the time, Tyga told TMZ.com it was a misunderstanding and his legal team would try and resolve the issue, but company bosses claim they still haven’t seen any money.

He had previously denied the allegations on social media, claiming the watch was a gift, tweeting, “How u (you) sue for a watch that suppose 2 b a gift (sic). jasonofbh u butthurt? need press that bad? I spent over 500k with u… Loyalty ain’t shi I see (sic)!”

The landlord, Gholamreza Rezai, successfully received a settlement on August 11, after he originally began legal action in 2012, suing Tyga for unpaid rent, damages, and compensation for alleged vandalism.

The unspecified settlement was “to the mutual satisfaction of all parties,” according to TMZ.

(AllHipHop News) James “Malay” Ho played a significant role in the creation of Frank Ocean’s award-winning debut album. Malay is credited as a producer on 13 tracks off channel ORANGE.

As fans wait for Ocean to drop his highly anticipated sophomore studio album, Malay spoke with followers of the New Orleans R&B singer via a Reddit Ask Me Anything session.

One user questioned Malay about Ocean’s fans having to repeatedly deal with misleading anticipation for Boys Don’t Cry. Another user asked about the rumor that the album was supposed to be released on August 5.

“First of all we all massively appreciate and love you guys, Frank has told me this himself many times. To be fair tho, art cannot be rushed,” responded Malay. “It’s about making sure the perfect aesthetic for the situation has been reached, to do that, takes constant tweaking, trial and error.. That goes for any creative [situation].”

He later wrote, “Never heard of an actual date.. Then again I don’t pay attention to a lot of stuff.”

Safaree Samuels Addresses Drake & Tory Lanez Using Sounds From Jamaica

(AllHipHop News) While Drake and Tory Lanez continue to throw shots at each other, the two Toronto singer-rappers have both embraced including Reggae influences into their recent music.

Billboard spoke with Safaree Samuels, the descendant of Jamaicans, about Drake and Tory using sounds from the Caribbean.

“It’s like, I’m not Spanish, so I’m not gonna go and start doing reggaeton. It’s a bittersweet thing because these reggae and dancehall artists should be bigger than what they are,” said Safaree. “The dancehall artists, the people in Jamaica, just need to get more notoriety. [Reggae artists] should be doing features.”

He added, “And when [mainstream artists] shoot the video, they should shoot the video in Jamaica and have a Jamaican staff so that the people out there can make some money.”

Safaree recently released the Real Yard Vibes vol.1 project.

The Brooklyn-born performer is also one of the newest stars of VH1’s Love & Hip Hop Hollywood.

Kid Cudi Reminds Big Sean & Jhene Aiko That He Will Ether & Kill Anyone For His Family

Apparently Kid Cudi isn’t here for Jhene Aiko & Big Sean following Jhene’s divorce announcement with Cudi’s friend and long-time producer, Dot Da Genius.

Cudi is letting Jhene Aiko and Big Sean know that he will ether anyone when it comes to his family.

A fan dug up an old tweet where Cudi told Jhene he would kill her if she hurts Dot Da Genius, to which Kid Cudi replied saying,

“The funny thing is, we aint sweatin these bum b-tches and these corn ball a-s n-ggas. We too busy makin better music.”

The divorce isn’t too much of a surprise at it appears Jhene was spotted getting cozy with Big Sean more than with her own husband. Depending on how you look at it, we guess the publicity came at a great time for Jhene & Big Sean’s joint project ‘Twenty88’. Cudi isn’t with the sh-ts!

Roland Martin, Killer Mike Defend Gabby Douglas

Today on News One Now, Host and Managing Editor Roland S. Martin spoke with panelists Barbara Arnwine and NBC Black Contributor Lauren Victoria Burke about the extreme backlash of Olympic gold medalist Gabrielle Douglas’ hair while competing in the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio. During the conversation, Martin said that the attack on Douglas showcases the deeply rooted self-hatred in the Black community.

“These attacks on Gabrielle Douglas, largely by African Americans, about her hair speak to also deep seeded internal self-hatred that goes beyond entertainers that actually happens in our families, that happens at church,” said Martin. ”I’m removing Gabrielle Douglas; I’m saying this is something we have to continue with. It is so deep seeded because we have been conditioned to hate blackness.”
