Young Thug certainly does it to himself and by now we’ve realized he does it on purpose. The rapper’s sexuality has always been in question, and it probably always will be for his antics and some of the things he says. While his action’s say another thing, Thugger maintains that he is a heterosexual man. Well so does Yusaf Mack, but that’s another story. As we know, Thugger likes Instagram, and he decided the first person he would follow is Caitlyn Jenner. It seems like he’s courting her early.

Vince Staples: “The 90’s Get A Lot Of Credit – I Don’t Really Know Why” (VIDEO/POLL)

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) The 1990’s is routinely regarded as the high point of Hip Hop culture. It is practically impossible to measure the number of legendary emcees and classic albums to emerge from that decade. But is Hip Hop’s love for the 90’s based on merit or nostalgia?

1993 born rapper Vince Staples sat down with Time to discuss the 90’s era. According to the Summertime ’06 album creator, people may want to reevaluate their opinions on the Golden Era.

“The 90’s get a lot of credit. I don’t really know why. Biggie and 2Pac those were the staples of the 90’s. I think that’s why they get the ‘Golden Era’ credit,” stated Staples. “There’s not a 50 Cent in the 90’s. Did they even have a Kanye? Jay Z’s biggest song – his only number one – happened a couple of years ago. The early 2000’s is where it’s at.”

Vince goes on to name Bow Wow as one of his favorite rappers of all time. The Long Beach native also comments on his appreciation for all genres and artists keeping it real in their music.

EXCLUSIVE: A Rep For The Singer Who Sued Beyonce Over “XO” Issues Statement

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) Ahmad Javon Lane filed a $3 million copyright infringement lawsuit against Beyoncé claiming the superstar ripped off his song “XOXO” for the Houston native’s “XO.” Javon claims he sent a copy of “XOXO” to one of Beyoncé’s backup singers in 2013. Bey’s “XO” appeared on her self-titled album released that same year.

A judge recently ruled in Beyoncé’s favor in the case. District Judge Paul Engelmayer concluded the two songs had little in common outside of the titles, but Javon may not be done with the legal fight.

A representative for Javon issued the following statement to AllHipHop.com:

The judge’s ruling in the lawsuit was unfortunate. Javon has stated that it is unclear how Beyoncé came across his song but it was shopped to close artists and producers of hers shortly before her version came out. Javon is disappointed with the judge’s ruling and is strongly considering fighting his case with an appeal. He is also corresponding with NASA which was sampled in Beyoncé’s “XO.”

-Domenick Nati (Nati Celebrity Services)

Some NASA astronauts and their families expressed their concern that “XO” included audio from the 1986 Challenger Space Shuttle disaster. Former NASA employee and founder of NASAWatch.com Keith Cowing called on Beyoncé to remove the audio from the song.

By: Tanay Hudson (@NYStateOfMind2)Category: News

Offset of the Atlanta trio Migos has been denied bail for the third time, according to the Statesboro Herald. Bulloch County Superior Court Judge John R. Turner denied his bond after a Oct. 9th hearing and filed documents to deny bond on Monday (Oct. 26). He previously denied Offset’s bail during May and June hearings.

Offset was arrested back in April, along with Quavo and Takeoff, at Georgia Southern University after police found guns and drugs in their van. While Takeoff and Quavo were released, Offset was held due to previous criminal charges. The 23-year-old made matters worse after he had an altercation at the Bulloch County Jail in May, causing him to be charged with riot in a penal institution and battery.

Besides the riot charge, Offset is charged with possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, possession of a schedule II controlled substance, marijuana possession and carrying a weapon in a school safety zone.
