Rihanna knew fans would be anticipating a new album as soon as she announced her upcoming Super Bowl Halftime performance. However, according to RiRi, The Navy will have to wait.
The superstar singer’s last studio album was Anti in 2016. Since then, Rihanna has made major moves, building her Fenty empire and bringing new life into the world. Her son with A$AP Rocky is not yet a year old, and Rhianna didn’t want to return to the stage unless it was significant.
“It was a challenge that I welcomed. If I’m going to leave my baby, I’m going to leave my baby for something special,” Rihanna told Associated Press in an interview.
Her next performance is indeed “something special,” the coveted Super Bowl Halftime show. Despite previously declining the offer, “It was now or never for me,” she said, having it turned down in 2019 in solidarity with Colin Kaepernick. “It was a challenge that I welcomed. It was a stage bigger than anything I’ve ever done,” Rihanna added.
Last week, the multi-Grammy Award winner shared her first musical offering in six years, appearing on the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack. Rihanna has a message for those fans who believed this was a sign that a new album was incoming.
“Super Bowl is one thing. New music is another thing. Do you hear that, fans?” Rihanna said. “The second that I announced this, I said, ‘Oh, my God, they’re going to think my album is coming. I need to get to work.”
The multihyphenate has been enjoying motherhood rather than focussing on her highly anticipated comeback album. Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have kept their son shielded from the public, although this could soon change.
“We just didn’t get around to it yet, really. We’ve just been living. But I guess there’s a certain freedom that comes with kind of just like getting it out there,” she said before describing the challenges of raising a child with two high-profile parents. “We have to navigate it extremely, extremely cautious right now.”
Kodak Black and Desiigner took notice of 21 Savage’s comments about the 2016 XXL Freshman class.
During a conversation on Clubhouse, 21 Savage claimed he can beat anyone in the 2016 class in a Verzuz battle. The class featured 21 Savage, Anderson .Paak, Dave East, Denzel Curry, Desiigner, G Herbo, Kodak Black, Lil Dicky, Lil Uzi Vert and Lil Yachty.
“Nobody from that Freshman cover [can] beat me in no Verzuz,” 21 Savage said on Clubhouse.
Kodak Black reacted to 21 Savage’s remarks in an Instagram Live session.
“I admire yo confidence though and s###,” Kodak Black said. “That’s how you should feel. I’ma always put myself first over any n#### any day too. But that’s cap … You know you cap! Nah boy, that s### cap.”
Desiigner also took to social media to share his thoughts on 21 Savage’s boasting.
“Why you talking like that?” Desiigner asked. “You 21. [I] went platinum 20 times. I’m just chilling right now. I ain’t even dropping nothing right now. I quit rap for a minute. Stop playing.”
Desiigner hasn’t dropped a project in years and suggested he’s done with rap following Takeoff’s death. Kodak Black just released his Kutthroat Bill Vol. 1album on October 28, and last week, 21 Savage teamed up with Drake for a collab album titled Her Loss.
Drake postponed his Apollo Theater debut in light of Takeoff’s death.
Takeoff’s funeral will be held in Atlanta on Friday (November 11). Drake was booked to perform at the Apollo on the same day, but he announced a change of plans on Monday (November 7).
“The Apollo show has been moved to allow us to pay respect to our dear friend this weekend,” Drake wrote on Instagram. “We have added a second date for the fans.”
Drake’s first-ever show at the Apollo has been rescheduled for December 6. He will also perform at the legendary theater on December 7.
Last week, Drake paid tribute to the late Takeoff on SiriusXM. The OVO rapper spoke about their bond during an episode of his Table For One radio show.
“I’m sure people know how we started, of course, with ‘Versace,’” Drake said regarding Takeoff. “And from there, we formed a brotherhood. I always talk about the fact that this was one family. My friends in the music industry are not friends, they’re family. So, our deepest condolences. Tragic loss for all of us and a dark cloud over this business that we love so much.”
Takeoff was shot and killed in Houston on November 1. He was 28.
Xzibit’s ex-wife wants a lifetime of spousal support. Is she asking for too much? Or is she asking her former lover to honor his promise?
Kista Joiner and Xzibit have called it quits after eight years of marriage. Although she filed for divorce in February of this year, she is suing her ex for breaking his financial commitment.
According to the civil lawsuit, Xzibit agreed to provide for all her needs throughout their relationship. In exchange, Joiner was to be “a confidant, companion, social and business partner, homemaker, housekeeper and consultant” to the rapper. Furthermore, Joiner believes that Xzibit’s financial commitments should continue even if the relationship ends.
Court documents show Joiner feels entitled to an equal share of any assets gained during their relationship. Mr. X to the Z may want to consult the advice of his longtime friend Dr. Dre because his ex-wife has mounted an offense out of the Nicole Young playbook. Nonetheless, this is an ongoing development that we will be monitoring.
Despite the ongoing legal battle, let’s not act as if we forgot about her boyfriend. What are your thoughts? Does she deserve spousal support for life?
Rick Ross insisted he’s not a hoarder despite the piles of clothes in his home.
Rozay provided a look at the mess in his mansion on his Instagram Stories. Rick Ross asked fans for advice about what to do with all his apparel in a video posted on Monday (November 7).
“I’m trying to organize some of this s###,” he said. “Man, I got this s### spilling out every g###### where … C’mon, man. Y’all tell me. C’mon, man. Should Rozay have a damn yard sale? C’mon, man. I’m talking ‘bout all the closets full … I’m fighting through shoes.”
Rick Ross refused to consider himself a hoarder amid the heaps of clothing. But he admitted the video didn’t even show the full extent of clutter in his mansion.
“This ain’t a hoarder,” he said. “This rich boss s### going on right here. Don’t get it twisted. But I’m not finna be caged in … This was one day’s worth of s###. And I still got at least two more days’ worth of s###.”
Rick Ross continued to deny he’s hoarding in subsequent videos on Instagram Stories. The 46-year-old rapper claimed he’s only keeping things of value.
A funeral for Takeoff will be held at State Farm Arena in Atlanta on Friday (November 11).
According to multiplereports, Pastor Jesse Curney III of the New Mercies Christian Church will handle the eulogy. The service is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. EST.
Takeoff, whose real name was Kirsnick Khari Ball, was shot and killed at a Houston bowling alley on November 1. He was 28.
The Migos member died from gunshot wounds to the head and torso. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police haven’t publicly identified any suspects in the fatal shooting. A video showed Takeoff’s uncle and longtime rap partner Quavo involved in an argument before shots were fired.
Last week, authorities urged witnesses to come forward and help identify the shooter. The deadly incident occurred following a private party, which police said at least 40 people attended.
“We’re looking for anything to help us from there,” Sgt. Michael Arrington said at a press conference. “We want to find justice for [Takeoff’s] family. They’re going through a lot right now. And the only thing that we can do is hope that y’all reach out and assist us in any way to lead to evidence that will help us to apprehend and get charges and arrest on the person responsible for the death of Takeoff.”
Houston police asked anyone with information about the shooting to contact the Homicide Division at 713-308-3600 or call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 713-222-8477.
While Americans are questioning if Kanye West has the right to freedom of speech, an Iranian rapper has just been physically tortured by the government for his songs of protest and his activism after a young woman was murdered by the police for not wearing a hijab.
According to India Today, the famous rapper and activist Toomaj Salehi was arrested by Iranian security forces for being an anti-hijab protester.
Sources say the rapper, who has over 700,000 followers on Instagram, was taken to an undisclosed location by troops, detaining him while he tried to cross the country’s western borders.
Family members of the artist have denied that this is true.
They allege the political artist was located in the southwestern provinces of Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari when he was arrested.
Salehi is also not being treated well, the family relayed to the press.
The rapper’s uncle Eghbal Eghbali revealed on Instagram that Toomaj is currently a victim of the government’s “cruelest methods of torture.”
He asked the Iranian people and the international community to bring justice to Salehi, fearing his life was in danger and that he could be killed due to his political views.
Toomaj Salehi had frequently spoken out against Iranian officials on his platform, sources say, and standing in support of the national protests over the last few weeks over the death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Kurdish-Iranian woman.
Amini died on September 16th, 2022, in a hospital in Tehran. The Guidance Patrol, aka the “morality police,” arrested Amini for not wearing a hijab in public.
The police claimed she had a heart attack and slipped into a coma. However, witnesses and two of her friends who were with her when she was detained said Amini was severely beaten by officers with The Guidance Patrol.
An independent autopsy concluded Amini died of a cerebral hemorrhage. The news set off the largest protests in the country since 2009. Unfortunately, the Iranian regime has targeted the protesters with extreme violence.
According to human rights watch groups, over 300 people, including over 20 children, have been killed by security forces since the protests started in September.
Earlier that evening, the tech billionaire – who officially became the owner of Twitter last month – issued a warning about impersonation.
“Going forward, any Twitter handles engaging in impersonation without clearly specifying ‘parody’ will be permanently suspended,” he wrote. “Previously, we issued a warning before suspension, but now that we are rolling out widespread verification, there will be no warning… Any name change at all will cause temporary loss of verified checkmark.”
However, the 62-year-old swiftly evaded the ban by using her late mother Maggie’s Twitter account instead.
“I’m back from the grave to say… #FreeKathy,” she wrote, before clarifying to a user: “Oh by the way this is KG. I’m tweeting from my dead mother’s account. She would not mind. #FreeKathy.”
She added, “My wonderful mother had an account that I ran for her. She passed away, but I always kept the account. Trust me, she would be with me on this. Relax. #FreeKathy.”
Musk later responded to a tweet about Griffin’s suspension by joking, “Actually, she was suspended for impersonating a comedian… But if she really wants her account back, she can have it… For $8.”
Griffin then accused him of stealing a joke with his first tweet and added, “Look, please do a better job running this company. It used to mean something. This is KG btw.”
Last week, Musk introduced Twitter Blue, which costs $8 per month and allows anyone to buy a verified blue checkmark.

AllHipHop spoke with SoGaudy via FaceTime to discuss his roots in Vegas, his Top 5, being a businessman, his name, “Oh Well,” goals, and more!
AllHipHop: You’re from Las Vegas, what was that like growing up?
SoGaudy: Vegas is a fast city. Vegas is a city of hustlers, a city of people who if you don’t put your foot on the ground, you’re gonna be walked over. Out here, you gotta stay on your hustle to get what you want. Vegas is real fast, I’ll say that much.
AllHipHop: Talk about coming from a legacy of musicians in your family.
SoGaudy: I’ve been involved in music my whole life. My grandfather was an opera singer out of South America. Big time, big name. My mother’s mom was a big time piano player in France. My father comes from music. My parents are a lot older. My father’s 78, my mother’s in her late 60’s. My father used to work with Jimi Hendrix back in the day, toured with him. I’ve been surrounded by music my whole life. It’s something I came up in. As a youngin’ up, it’s always been a part of me. Music and me are just one.
AllHipHop: Who’s your Top 5 all-time?
SoGaudy: People I like the most: Biggie, Wiz Khalifa, DMX. I really mess with Bone Thugs, and Ice Cube.
AllHipHop: At what point did you realize this music thing was forreal?
SoGaudy: It always seemed like music could be something that I could make a future from. Music never seemed like it’d be so easy to get into. Just because I wanted to do music and wanted it to be my future, I mean yeah I’ve always wanted that. But I’m a keep it real, it didn’t seem it was always something that I could make my future. I had to work hard at it.
AllHipHop: What were you doing before music?
SoGaudy: I’m a business entrepreneur. I own a music studio, I have my own brand. I have my own clothing line, I have my own weed brand. I’m a hustler, so I got a few different things that I’ve always worked on. I’ve always worked on more than a few, not just settled my mind on just one.
AllHipHop: What was the inspiration behind your name?
SoGaudy: To be real with you, one of my homeboys named me SoGaudy because I’ve always been a real chain wearing, diamond wearing, big rings… I’ve always been real bright of a person. A lot of ice. I don’t really come from that genre of kids that’s ever wore fake jewelry. I’ve always worked hard and spent big money on anything I had. I got my name when I was about 17 or18 years old.
AllHipHop: You just released “Oh Well,” who or what inspired this record?
SoGaudy: What inspired “Oh Well” is honestly all the b####### that we go through in life, our ups our downs. At the end of the day, just having an understanding that nothing’s ever gonna stop. You gotta always keep on going. If you sit on some b#######, you’ll never get past it. F### it, oh well. I’m a keep on pushing and keep going.
AllHipHop: LouieKnows is my guy, talk about linking with him on the video.
SoGaudy: I’ve been f###### with LouieKnows since he was working with Jonathan and Ace, back in the day with blkdmnds. If you go back and look at some of my old old videos, you’ll see I used to shoot with Jonathan Andrioli. Ace used to do all my photos, that’s honestly how I met Louie back in the day. Louie t shoots real dope videos, I like his visuals. I like how he puts his s### together. Not only that, Louie shoots some of the biggest artists right now in the game. I’d be a fool to not go and f### with Louie.
AllHipHop: Best part of the video shoot?
SoGaudy: The plane scenes were dope.
AllHipHop: What is it you want fans to get from your story?
SoGaudy: To never give up. If you got a dream and you’re working hard on it, to go hard and don’t stop. Don’t let nothing discourage you. Keep going until the wheels fall off, you’re gonna get what you want.
AllHipHop: 3 things in the studio?
SoGaudy: Weed, water, and good beats.
AllHipHop: What’s an average day in the life of SoGaudy?
SoGaudy: An average day in the life of SoGaudy is nothing but filled with work, nonstop phone calls, and keeping s### organized. I’ll be honest: every day I wake up, I take myself to the gym. I got my engineers with me in my studio right now. Right now, we’re mixing up the new GRE project I’m about to release with all GRE artists. Get Right Entertainment, that’s my label.
My day is filled up, I’m in the studio everyday. But if I’m not making music, I’m printing clothing. These are some of my ski masks, some of my sweatsuits. I’m selling these off to my other boy, I’m always doing something. My days are filled with nonstop work.
AllHipHop: Goals for yourself?
SoGaudy: I have major goals. My first goal is to honestly shoot to the moon with this music, come out with dope world-changing music and to try to do something different. Changing the world obviously. I’ve already changed my life and my ways so really making music for me, another success that’s brought me to landing one of my main dreams that I’ve always wanted. Landing that and handling it how I need to handle it. Third, really to keep succeeding and living life. And positive things keep happening for me.
Britney Spears told followers she has nerve damage on the right side of her body.
In a now-deleted Instagram post, the “Hold Me Closer” singer revealed she has nerve damage.
In a caption of a video of herself dancing, Britney wrote, “there’s no cure except God” for the nerve damage she incurred, though she didn’t specify the incident that caused it.
“Nerve damage is caused sometimes when you don’t get enough oxygen to your brain,” she said. “Your brain literally shuts down.”
Calling it an “old story,” Britney referenced “in that place where I didn’t breathe,” seemingly referring to the medical facility she was brought to against her will in 2019.
“The last 3 years since I got out of that place I’ve been in a mild unconscious state,” the singer wrote. “I couldn’t face it.”
How the facility connects to Britney’s nerve damage is unclear.
Elsewhere in the post, Britney detailed the symptoms of her condition, writing, “Nerve damage causes parts of your body to go numb. I wake up like 3 times a week in bed and my hands are completely numb.
“Nerves are tiny and it feels like pins and needles from the right side of my body it shoots (sic) up to my neck and the part that hurts the worst is my temple on my head… it stings and it’s scary.”
Michael B. Jordan is open to making a return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
The “Creed” actor portrayed Erik ‘Killmonger’ Stevens in the 2018 superhero movie “Black Panther,” though his character ended up meeting his demise.
But in an interview with Extra, Michael shared that he is interested in taking on another role within the comic book-inspired franchise.
“I don’t know if it’s a possibility… Being able to be in the Marvel Universe was a dream come true, and if there was an opportunity for me to come back, of course, I would… I’m not one of those guys like, ‘No, I would never,'” he told the outlet. “Working with Ryan (Coogler, director) what we did on that first project, and what Marvel does as a whole, is something that as a fan and a nerd and as a geek that I am, I just love to see those movies and those characters come to life.”
Michael has made his directorial debut with the upcoming sports drama “Creed III,” in which he also reprises the part of Adonis’ Donnie’ Creed.
And he is glad he took the opportunity to helm the project after being inspired by his collaborations with “Fruitvale Station” filmmaker Ryan.
“I think the more I’ve been on sets, the more I learn from everybody. All the moving pieces, all the department heads, everything that goes into a film or television show. I think over time, being in front of the camera, you start to have a stronger opinion,” the star continued. “I think just over the years, especially after working with Ryan on our first film Fruitvale Station, think being able to see somebody who looks like me, same age, kind of commanding the set and directing the film, it definitely gave me that kind of feeling that I could do it, too.”
Rev. Jamal Bryant, a pastor of the New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Lithonia (close to Atlanta), took to his pulpit with a message to young Black men about violence.
He called the males up to the altar for a prayer that has gone viral.
“Today, I want to pray a hedge fence of protection for our young Black men in this community. I want to ask all of our young Black men to come to the altar, Black men,” said Bryant, according to WSB-TV 2.
The Morehouse graduate presented a powerful message, “I’m afraid that this generation is adjusting to a culture of violence with no redress. This summer and this fall, we lost six rappers to gun violence.”
“Yet, we wonder why our young people are under distress, anxiety, under depression, because all of the people they look up to are now falling below zero,” said Bryant. “Y’all better shout for these young men. Come on, you better shout for these business leaders. Would you open up your young men? These young men are going to change the world.”
“Now I want all Black men to come to the altar and surround our boys,” he also said.
“I believe that prayer works,” the preacher said. “But Fredrick Douglas said I got more prayers answered when I got my off my knees. I think prayer is the beginning, but an actionable executable plan has to come behind it.”
Snoop Dogg denied a claim that he smokes the equivalent of 75-150 blunts every day.
The “Gin and Juice” rapper shared a post reporting he smokes “roughly 75-150 joints a day” on his Instagram.
The post referenced Renegade Piranha, who identifies herself as Snoop’s “professional blunt roller.” During an appearance on “The Kyle and Jackie-O Show,” Renegade said the rapper smokes half a pound of weed every day, and that she had twisted 450,000 blunts since taking the job in 2016.
Snoop captioned the screenshot, “The b#### is conning you man.” He posted a video to the platform showing the amount of weed he smokes in a day.
The video features ten half-used joints lying on a table.
“B#### said I smoke… b####, this is all in a day’s work. Stop lying,” Snoop can be heard saying in the video. “F### I’m a smoke all that weed in one day. What am I, a f###### machine?”
He continued, “B####, this is the roaches. See… roaches.”
In 2013, Snoop wrote on Twitter that he smokes 81 blunts in a day.
During a 2019 appearance on “The Howard Stern Show,” he confirmed that he has a “professional blunt roller,” saying, “That’s his J-O-B – his occupation… On his resume, it says, ‘What do you do? I’m a blunt roller. P-B-R, Professional Blunt Roller.'”
In June, the rapper responded to a tweet from UberFacts saying his PBR had been given a raise due to inflation.
Yet another member of the Harris household has become a live performer. T.I.’s oldest son, Messiah Harris, recently made his on-stage debut.
Messiah Harris follows in the footsteps of his famous father. Tip “T.I.” Harris is widely considered one of the greatest southern emcees of all time. T.I. has four #1 songs on the Hot 100 and three #1 albums on the Billboard 200.
Additionally, T.I.’s wife, Tiny Harris, was a member of the R&B group Xscape. She is also a Grammy-winning songwriter. Messiah’s stepsister, Zonnique “Star” Pullins, led the teen pop girl group known as OMG.
“Can you tell it’s my first live performance? You all made it feel so good being up there, I appreciate it very much. 🖤 The song I’m playing is out right now: ‘When I Dream’-Buddy Red,” wrote Messiah on Instagram.
The “When I Dream” single arrived on DSPs last month. Another track titled “Insanity” is also listed on Buddy Red’s official Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, and YouTube artist pages.
Tiny Harris & Domani Harris Celebrate Messiah’s First Live Show
Many television viewers likely best know Messiah Harris as the soft-spoken sibling on the T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle reality series. The program ran for six seasons on the VH1 cable network.
T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle featured members of the Harris family living their lives in Atlanta. Zonnique Pullins, Domani Harris, Deyjah Harris, King Harris, and Major Harris joined Messiah Harris and his parents on the program.
“Had an amazing time watching our son do his thang at his very first show! I love how he got so interested in the guitar that he taught himself how to play; now that’s talent!” posted Tiny on her Instagram page.
The College Park-bred vocalist continued, “[Messiah] stepped so far out [of] the box and found his own lane! Show @phase_4 some love and make sure to check out #BuddyRed.” Several celebrities – such as Cynthia Baily and Countess Vaughn – showed support for Messiah in Tiny’s comment section.
Domani Harris, who is a recording artist in his own right, also commented about his older brother’s performance. The “Friends” rapper wrote under Tiny’s IG video, “Bro walked on stage and started a fire last night 🔥🔥🔥.”
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers had a poor showing in his team’s November 6 game against the Detroit Lions. Longtime Packers fan Lil Wayne appears to be over Rodgers’s run as Green Bay’s on-field leader.
Aaron Rodgers threw three interceptions during yesterday’s game. Wayne’s favorite NFL franchise suffered a 15-9 loss to the Lions which dropped the Packers to a 3-6 record.
“GO PACK GO!!!!!” tweeted Lil Wayne on Sunday morning. He returned to the social media platform around 4:15 pm ET to add, “RIP to the season we should’ve gotten rid of 12 before the season.”
RIP to the season we should’ve gotten rid of 12 before the season.
The Packers have lost five games in a row. The Matt LaFleur-coached squad still sits in second place in the National Football Conference’s NFC North division behind the Minnesota Vikings (7-1).
Aaron Rodgers has played for the Packers for his entire NFL career. The Super Bowl Champion and four-time NFL MVP presently has a 36.3 quarterback rating for the 2022 season. That QBR stat puts him in 27th place among quarterbacks this season.
Louisiana–raised Lil Wayne explained his love for the Packers stems from his father attending Super Bowl XXXI in New Orleans. The Packers defeated the New England Patriots for the NFL Championship at that 1997 game.
In 2011, Lil Wayne released “Green & Yellow” as the Packers headed into Super Bowl XLV to face the Pittsburgh Steelers. Aaron Rodgers and the Pack outlasted the Steelers by winning SBXLV 31 to 25. The NFL presented Rodgers with the Super Bowl MVP trophy that year.
Compton performer Roddy Ricch joined Post Malone for the Twelve Carat Tour of North America. Apparently, Ricch experienced difficulty getting into Canada for the November 6 date in Vancouver.
On Sunday evening, Roddy Ricch took to his Instagram Story to offer an explanation for missing the show at the Rogers Arena. “The Box” hitmaker placed the blame on the Canadian government’s immigration authorities.
“The Federal Border Patrol did not allow me into Vancouver, BC. I apologize to my fans,” posted Roddy Ricch on Instagram. Ricch went on to say that he may not return to Canada in the near future.
The Live Life Fast album creator continued, “I don’t believe I’ll be revisiting Canada anytime soon because they’ve harassed me every time I’ve come and Imma be completely honest, I’m tired of the harassment.”
Earlier this year, New York law enforcement officials detained Roddy Ricch (born Rodrick Moore Jr.) for weapon possession on June 12 outside Citi Field. Ricch was on the lineup for the Governors Ball festival at that venue in Queens before officers took him and two associates into custody.
Roddy Ricch’s Live Life Fast album dropped on December 17, 2021. The studio LP debuted at #4 on the Billboard 200 chart by earning 62,000 first-week units. Ricch plans to gift his fans with the Feed Tha Streets 3 mixtape on November 18.
“The Kid Cudi stuff, I think I want to put it on the back burner and chill out with that. I think I want to be done with it. I think [about] closing the chapter on Kid Cudi,” said Mescudi in September.
The 38-year-old entertainer took to Twitter over the weekend to provide more details about his music career. Apparently, Kid Cudi is on the verge of parting ways with Republic Records.
Kid Cudi Teases Singles As Hold-Overs Until His Next Body Of Work
“I’m doin 1 more album and then I’m done [with] my deal and not sure what ima do after that but yea, 1 more. Won’t be next year. Keep u posted,” tweeted Cudi on Sunday.
He also added, “This is for all my fans that have been ridin [with] me for so long. This will be all new music. The songs I’ve teased I’ll [probably] put out as singles here and there to hold [you] over.”
Entergalactic landed nearly two years after Kid Cudi dropped 2020’s Man on the Moon III: The Chosen. His album catalog also includes 2009’s Man on the Moon: The End of Day and 2010’s Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager.
Cudi’s other solo LPs Indicud, Satellite Flight: The Journey to Mother Moon, Speedin’ Bullet 2 Heaven, and Passion, Pain & Demon Slayin’ came out between 2013 and 2016. The former G.O.O.D. Music affiliate also partnered with Kanye West for Kids See Ghosts in 2018.

Maino had some questions concerning the controversy surrounding Kyrie Irving after he shared a link to an antisemitic film hosted on Amazon.
The NYC rapper took to Instagram on Sunday evening (Nov. 6) to address the situation in the wake of Nike suspending their relationship with Kyrie Irving. The news from Nike comes despite the athlete’s lengthy apology. Kyrie also offered a $500,000 donation, and was given a five-game suspension handed down by the Brooklyn Nets.
Maino wants to know why people aren’t keeping the same energy with Amazon.
“So Kyrie Irving is being held for being responsible for a link to a documentary that’s on Amazon and Amazon is a platform that it’s being shared,” Maino questioned. “So he’s being held accountable by Nike and whoever else, but Amazon is not?”
Check out Maino’s comments on Kyrie Irvin and Amazon in full below.
Last week, Kyrie issued an apology after sharing a link to “Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America.” Like Maino, many wondered whether Amazon would face any consequences for hosting the documentary as Kyrie Irving did for sharing a link to it.
However, according to New York Times, the Brooklyn Nets and the Anti-Defamation League have contacted the retailer. They sent a letter to Amazon asking the company to address the “deeply and unequivocally antisemitic” documentary.
An Amazon spokesman said the company is exploring adding a disclaimer to the film. Anyone buying or renting the documentary or the book the film is based on would see the potential disclaimer.
