Boosie Badazz Blasts Kanye West Over George Floyd Comments

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

Kanye “Ye” West once again has a lot of people upset, including Boosie Badazz. After presenting “White Lives Matter” shirts and sharing anti-Semitic rhetoric, West took aim at murder victim George Floyd.

During a highly-criticized appearance on the Drink Champs podcast, Kanye West suggested George Floyd died from a drug overdose. West decided to push that narrative despite the fact that a jury convicted former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin for the murder of Floyd.

In addition, Chauvin pleaded guilty in federal court to violating George Floyd’s criminal civil rights. A Minnesota judge sentenced Derek Chauvin to 22 1/2 years in state prison. His federal conviction came with a 252-month prison sentence.

“They hit him with the fentanyl. If you look, the guy’s knee wasn’t even on his neck like that,” said West on Drink Champs. Footage of Derek Chauvin kneeling on Floyd’s neck for nearly nine minutes circulated around the globe in 2020.

USA Today ran a fact-check article in 2021 detailing how the Hennepin County medical examiner’s office ruled Floyd’s “cardiopulmonary arrest” death was a homicide caused by “restraint and neck compression.” The Floyd family’s independent autopsy also confirmed George Floyd died as a result of “asphyxiation from sustained pressure.”

Following The “White Lives Matter” Controversy, Boosie Has More Words For Ye

Boosie Badazz had a serious issue with Kanye West’s latest conspiracy theory about George Floyd. On Sunday, the outspoken Baton Rouge native slammed Ye on social media with a cap-locked message.

“@kanyewest THE HATRED YOU HAVE FOR BLACKS IS SAD. [AND] they STILL SUPPORT YOUR COON ASS. First Slavery was a choice, white lives matter, now George Floyd etc. [AND] IT’S SAD THAT BLACKS WITH A PLATFORM AIN’T TELLING U S### for ATTACKING OUR RACE LIKE U DO #WELLIAM U SICK FRFR,” tweeted Boosie.

The “Wipe Me Down” rapper also posted, “[Trying] to s### on [George Floyd] & F### UP HIS GLORY SMH. #really. I THINK U ON FENTANYL.” Kanye West has admitted in the past to being addicted to opioids, and the musician has been open about his bipolar disorder diagnosis.

Kanye West has been at the center of racial/political controversy for several years. Previously, his support for former right-wing President Donald Trump and his ahistorical statement that Africans chose to be slaves in America generated significant negative reactions.

This was not the first time Boosie Badazz called out Kanye West over his public comments. Earlier this month, Boosie denounced Ye for designing and promoting a “White Lives Matter” shirt. He tweeted at the time, “@kanyewest. After all [we’ve] been through as a race you put this disrespectful s### on!!”

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

Atlanta’s Lil Baby is on pace to score his third #1 album. The Quality Control Music signee dropped It’s Only Me on October 14. Early forecasts have Baby bringing in respectable sales numbers.

According to HitsDailyDouble, Lil Baby’s third studio LP will open with 185,000-210,000 first-week units. That range is likely enough to ensure It’s Only Me launches atop the Billboard 200 chart.

If It’s Only Me does land at #1 next week, Baby will earn the third chart-topper of his career. 2020’s My Turn debuted in the top spot and spent five weeks at the pinnacle of the Billboard 200.

My Turn came out the block at #1 by racking up 197,000 album-equivalent units in its first seven days of release. Lil Baby also made it to the pole position with The Voice Of The Heroes, a 2021 joint project with Chicago-bred rapper Lil Durk.

So far, Lil Baby has six entries on the Billboard 200. In addition to My Turn and Heroes, 2017’s Too Hard only hit #80. The following year, Baby’s Harder Than Ever studio LP peaked at #3. 2018 also saw the Street Gossip mixtape make it to #2.

Lil Baby partnered with his Atlanta-bred comrade Gunna for Drip Harder. The 2018 mixtape topped off in the Billboard 200’s #4 slot. Drip Harder hosts the Diamond-certified “Drip Too Hard” collaboration.

As far as It’s Only Me, Lil Baby recruited Nardo Wick, Young Thug, Fridayy, Future, Rylo Rodriguez, Jeremih, EST Gee, and Pooh Shiesty as guest features. The 23-track body of work dominated Apple Music’s Top 100: USA chart upon its release.

“F.N.F.” Producer Hitkidd Calls Out GloRilla Over Contract Issues

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

Memphis-raised rapper GloRilla reached a national level of stardom with the viral hit-turned-summer anthem “F.N.F. (Let’s Go).” Hitkidd produced the track which has gone on to rack up over 23 million plays on Spotify.

Following the commercial success of GloRilla’s breakout single, it appears there are now some legal issues surrounding the song. Hitkidd took to social media to air out his grievances.

“So basically these folks are trying to take me to court over ‘FNF’ because they want to OWN the song, BUT they want to own the song to put it on this EP which both parties knew,” tweeted Hitkidd on Sunday.

He continued, “So tell me how you gone PUT ‘FNF’ in your contract without telling me, AFTER I told you & your MANAGER [every day] that we [were] in LA with Saweetie, that labels are going to try to sign you because of ‘FNF’ so watch out. I also told you to let me know when labels reach out so we can be on the same page, but you still went and signed my song without telling me.”

GloRilla and Hitkidd’s “F.N.F. (Let’s Go)” dropped on April 29. By July, GloRilla announced she signed to Yo Gotti’s Collective Music Group record label. The Hip Hop newcomer later contributed to CMG’s Gangsta Art compilation.

Hitkidd Says He Warned GloRilla About Having Her Own Lawyer

Additionally, Hitkidd tweeted, “I did my best to protect you and the girls. This is only a portion of what I’ve been through. I’m bringing light to this before word gets out like I’m the bad guy. I’m a stand-up guy and I stand on business and morals.”

The fellow Memphis representative appeared to slam 300 Entertainment Vice President Jenn Essiembre as well. Hitkidd wrote, “And Jenn from 300 Ent [is] lame too for telling her boss I was signed to them and I wasn’t 🤣… Everybody mad ’cause I wouldn’t sign to them.”

Hitkidd also claimed he warned GloRilla and her management not to hire a lawyer connected to Collective Music Group. Later, the music producer insisted he did not have any malicious intent. Hitkidd posted, “This ain’t to make anyone look bad either.”

“F.N.F. (Let’s Go)” peaked at #42 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. GloRilla also presented the “FNF (Remix)” featuring Latto and JT. The winner of the 2022 BET Hip Hop Award for Best Breakthrough Hip Hop Artist later teamed up with Cardi B for the “Tomorrow 2” collaboration. That single became GloRilla’s first Top 10 hit.

Nicki Minaj’s Songs Reportedly Still Up For Grammy Rap Categories

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

A dispute over potential Grammy nominations caused a firestorm on Twitter. Hip Hop star Nicki Minaj called out the Recording Academy for allegedly moving her “Super Freaky Girl” single to the Pop categories.

“I have no prob being moved out [of] the RAP category as long as we [are] ALL being treated FAIRLY. If ‘Super Freaky Girl’ has [to be] moved out RAP then so does ‘Big Energy’!” tweeted Nicki Minaj on October 13.

The New York City-bred rapper continued, “[Anyone] who says [differently] is simply a Nicki hater or a troll. I’d actually LUV 2 c a more street record win- male OR female! IJS rightIsRight 🫡.”

“Do We Have a Problem?” By Nicki Minaj Could Land A Rap Nomination

According to a new report, some of Nicki Minaj’s music will still have the chance to win a Grammy Award in the rap division. Variety ran an article claiming Minaj may appear in rap categories, just not “Super Freaky Girl.”

“Grammy voters who’ve received their ballots tell Variety that Minaj is in contention in the best rap performance category for another song of hers, ‘Do We Have a Problem?’ which has a featured appearance from Lil Baby,” wrote Chris Willman.

The publication’s Senior Music Writer added, “The Grammys’ rap screening committee apparently considered this more of a true [Hip Hop song] and ‘Super Freaky Girl’ more Pop in nature, splitting the difference.”

“Super Freaky Girl” & “Big Energy” Likely Would Not Have Faced Off For Best Rap Performance

According to Willman, Nicki Minaj appears eight times on the Grammy ballot. “Super Freaky Girl” remains in the Pop category. The Recording Academy listed Minaj five times in rap categories. She also has the chance to earn two nods in the music video section.

Nicki Minaj’s complaints about the Grammy nominating process led to a bitter Twitter feud with “Big Energy” creator Latto. Over the course of several hours, the two rappers went back and forth on social media.

Apparently, only a live version of Latto’s “Big Energy” is included in the Best Melodic Rap Performance submissions instead of Best Rap Performance. The Atlanta native could see other Best Rap Performance nominations for “Sunshine,” “Mind Yo Business,” or “Booty.”

Megan Thee Stallion “Physically And Emotionally” Exhausted, Taking A Break  

By: London JennnCategory: News

Megan Thee Stallion needs a break! 

During the last two years, the Houston native has toured the world, performing on the biggest stages while putting out her latest album, Traumazine. Megan has also earned a Bachelor’s degree in Health Administration from Texas Southern University and acted in shows including She-Hulk: Attorney at Law.  

At the end of next month, she continues her grueling tour schedule heading out to Australia before returning stateside to perform in L.A. in December. However, as she announced to her fans on Saturday, Megan Thee Stallion is “physically and emotionally” exhausted and in need of rest.  

The “Plan B” hitmaker returned to Saturday Night Live this weekend (Oct. 15), performing as host and musical guest.  

Megan Thee Stallion Needs A Break

“Hotties im really sorry but after SNL I really gotta take a break,” Megan Thee Stallion announced before the show. “I’m so tired, physically and emotionally.” 

Megan shared the announcement hours after TMZ reported the rapper’s home was burglarized on Friday. Two thieves broke in and allegedly made off with $300k-$400k in jewelry, cash, and electronics. Cops say the men smashed a glass door to enter the house. Megan Thee Stallion was not home at the time. No arrests have been made. 

“Wow,” she tweeted on Friday evening, seemingly in response to the alleged burglary. “Material things can be replaced but I’m glad everyone is safe.” 

During her SNL monologue, Megan Thee Stallion explained how important it is for her to help the people in her community. She then gave a shout-out to her new mental health resource site.  

“That’s why I launched my website that provides access to resources for those struggling with mental health. ‘Badbitcheshavebaddaystoo.com’” she said referring to her site. “That’s a real website. I can’t believe the domain wasn’t already taken. It’s supposed to be called ‘Hotgirlbummer’ but somebody stole It. You know who you are.” Watch her monologue in full below.  

N.O.R.E. Responds To Backlash Over Kanye West’s Controversial Drink Champs Interview  

By: London JennnCategory: News

N.O.R.E. is feeling the heat after being widely criticized for not pushing back on Kanye West’s comments about George Floyd’s death.  

N.O.R.E. has outraged many Drink Champs fans over his recent interview with Kanye West, where the rapper pushed a conspiracy theory surrounding George Floyd’s death, among other controversial claims. 

Viewers heavily criticized the rapper-turned-podcaster for not checking Ye when he said Floyd died from fentanyl rather than asphyxiation. “If you look, the guy’s knee wasn’t even on his neck like that,” Kanye West added.  George Floyd’s family are considering suing Ye over the comments, their attorney revealed on Sunday.

Even before the episode aired, fans slammed N.O.R.E. online once clips of the show began circulating. 

“I’m sorry, but @noreaga should be ashamed of that interview,” read one tweet. “And I love N.O.R.E. – music, everything. I don’t know him personally, but he seems like a good guy, but he should be ashamed of that interview. You can’t do that unless you are going to challenge and discuss things.” 

N.O.R.E. Questions Kanye West About “White Lives Matter” Comments

An extended clip of N.O.R.E. questioning Kanye West about his recent “White Lives Matter” stance was uploaded to the Drink Champs YouTube channel.  

“But when you wear the White Lives Matter shirt,” N.O.R.E told Kanye West, “it kinda takes away from everything from Black people. Because what it is is the same way you wear the confederate flag, and we’re like, ‘Damn.’ And I know you. I love you. I f### with you, you my brother. So I take this. And I’m a real n####. And I’m a real n#### in the streets every day. But, even me, I question, like, why would you try to… Like, even when you said, George Floyd […] ‘I can prove that somebody wasn’t on his neck.’ We don’t even care about that, Ye.”  

N.O.R.E. continued: “We Black people. We… we’re Black Panthers. We’re the people that you gotta f### with. You… we f##### with you when it was time to say that we f##### with you. We wanna continue to follow you. We do. You are Ye. But when the White Lives Matter… We know White lives matter. We know that. But Black Lives Matter…When we are getting killed every f###### single day, we have to notice that.”  

Eventually, Kanye stated, “’White Lives Matter'” doesn’t mean that Black lives don’t matter.” N.O.R.E. replied, “That’s what we need you to say, Ye.” Watch the clip below and read the tweets criticizing the podcast host at the end of the page. 

N.O.R.E. also took to Twitter to respond to one critic. “Relaax we all make mistakes!!!” he penned before adding, “I’m sorry my fault!!!” 

Meanwhile, N.O.R.E. shared another video revealing the last three days have given him pause for thought. “I’m starting to realize free speech ain’t free,” he claimed. “Some people got to pay for free speech. Im just not one that’s willing to do it.”

George Floyd’s Family Considering Suing Kanye West For Claiming Floyd Died Of Fentanyl 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Kanye West continues to cause outrage with his controversial remarks and could now be hit with a lawsuit by the family of George Floyd following the DONDA rapper’s latest appearance on Drink Champs, where he claimed Floyd died as a result of fentanyl.   

On Sunday (Oct 16), civil rights attorney and attorney for George Floyd’s family, Lee Merrit, confirmed a lawsuit could be on the way.  

“While one cannot defame the dead, the family of #GeorgeFloyd is considering suit for Kanye’s false statements about the manner of his death,” Merritt penned on Twitter. 

During the Drink Champs episode, Kanye West incorrectly stated that George Floyd died from taking fentanyl. “I watched the George Floyd documentary that Candace Owens put out… They hit him with the fentanyl. If you look, the guy’s knee wasn’t even on his neck like that,” Ye said. 

Floyd was killed in 2020 after Minnesota police officer Derek Chauvin kneeled on his neck for over nine minutes. While it was determined Floyd had a trace amount of fentanyl in his system, a coroner and medical experts confirmed it was Chauvin’s knee cutting off his oxygen supply that killed him. Chauvin was later convicted of Floyd’s murder and sentenced to 22 years in prison. 

Merritt continued: “Claiming Floyd died from fentanyl not the brutality established criminally and civilly undermines & diminishes the Floyd family’s fight.” 

Kanye West made his comments after attending the premier of “Greatest Lie Ever Sold: George Floyd and the Rise of BLM.” The documentary was made by controversial conservative commentator and vocal “Black Lives Matter” critic Candace Owens.  

Elsewhere during his Drink Champs interview, Kanye discussed his controversial “White Lives Matter” design. He also spoke on the antisemitic comments that resulted in his social media suspensions.

Issa Rae Calls Out Hollywood For Giving Ezra Miller A Pass

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Issa Rae has called out the Hollywood movie industry for protecting Ezra Miller despite their controversial behavior.

The “Justice League” actor, who uses they/them pronouns, has been involved in a string of controversies, legal issues, and run-ins with the police this year, but Warner Bros. still intends to release their standalone superhero movie “The Flash” next June.

In an interview with ELLE magazine, the “Insecure” actress criticized Hollywood for being “literally the worst industry when it comes to punishing people for misdeeds and actions” and cited the Miller case as a clear example of Hollywood being “very bad about consequences.”

“I’m gonna be real, the stuff that’s happening with Ezra Miller is, to me, a microcosm of Hollywood,” she said. “There’s this person who’s a repeat offender, who’s been behaving atrociously, and as opposed to shutting them down and shutting the production down, there’s an effort to save the movie and them. That is a clear example of the lengths that Hollywood will go to to save itself and to protect offenders.”

The embattled actor hit the headlines in March when they were arrested for disorderly conduct and harassment in Hawaii. The 30-year-old pleaded no contest to the first charge and paid a fine and court costs while the harassment count was dropped.

In June, they were slapped with two restraining orders, the first to prevent the actor from seeing an 18-year-old activist they were allegedly involved with, and the second to stop them from allegedly harassing a mother and her child. 

The “Fantastic Beasts” star was also charged with felony burglary in Vermont in August.

Miller apologized for their erratic behavior in August and announced that they are undergoing treatment for “complex mental health issues” following a period of “intense crisis.”

Ye Says Jewish Zionists “Own The Black Voice,” The Media, Disses Meek Mill, Diddy In Controversial “Drink Champs” Interview

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

Ye sat down for a wide-ranging interview with the “Drink Champs” podcast and hosts N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN, where he discussed some controversial topics. 

First, Ye discussed his controversial “White Lives Matter” T-Shirt he debuted and his comment that he was going to go “death con 3” on Jewish people, a statement that got him banned from Twitter. 

He said Dov Charney, the CEO of Los Angeles Apparel, was ready to manufacture and distribute the White Lives Matter T-shirt, despite the uproar it caused in the black community.

But Charney halted the deal when Ye started making anti-semitic comments on Instagram and Twitter.

“And I’m like, see. This is my exact point that I’m making. Jewish people have owned the Black voice, whether it’s through us wearing a Ralph Lauren shirt, or all of us being signed to a record label, or having a Jewish manager or being signed to a Jewish basketball team, or doing a movie on a Jewish platform like Disney,” Ye said. 

“I respect what the Jewish people have done, and how they brought their people together,” the rapper said, claiming Jews came into money as lawyers on Wall Street who would divorce people when Catholics would not. 

“With me and Jay with our culture, with the darker Jews, the 12 Lost Tribes of Israel, who we are, because we Jewish also. We from Africa, we the blood of Christ. So we’re not just black. We are a Jew, just like the Jewish people. And now we’re coming into money. 

“But the main thing is, I got to drink the D’usse [Black owned] over the Hennessy as the first step to us coming together. Like how to Jewish people came together,” Ye said. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9poSAJyXNA

“I remember Ben Horowitz called me after 4:44 and said ‘I don’t know about Jay giving up Jewish business secrets.’ These secrets, they not finna be a secret no more. If somebody tells me ‘I want to tell you this, but it’s a secret.’ I’m like, ‘I’m not your personal hard drive.’ Like if you want [it] to be a secret. Don’t tell me,” Ye said.

His discussion on Jewish people did not stop there. He also discussed the role Jews have played in the music and entertainment industry and how they have supposedly held Black artists back so they could make money for the Jewish community. 

“The Jewish community, especially in the music industry and entertainment period, they’ll take one of us, the brightest of us, that can feed a whole village and take us and milk us till we die. And then Stevie Wonder’s son got to get a job,” Ye explained.

“But Cameron Azoff [Irving Azoff’s son] got a job at Apple. He’s already set up because of the way [Irving] Azoff [former CEO of Live Nation] is connected. And we have to make our own connections,” the rapper said. 

Ye also claimed that the Jewish-controlled media was intentionally attempting to make him look crazy due to his well-known battle with bipolar disorder.

Ye said this was highlighted in the Netflix documentary “jeen-yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy,” directed by his childhood friends Coodie & Chike. The Chicago native seemed particularly bothered by part 3 of the documentary, which touched on Ye’s mental health and his nervous breakdown in 2016. 

“So they’ll go and get a dude that’s supposed to be my friend, and that’s been taping me the whole time, and buy this n#### out for $30 million. I ain’t co-sign it, but you get used to that. Paparazzi taking a picture you, you ain’t getting no money off it. You just get used to getting screwed by the Jewish media. And I’m saying y’all done poked the bear too f###### long. When I wore the White Lives Matter tee, I had four SoFi Stadium shows. They canceled my shows. I said it’s up.”

Ye also had some strong comments for Sean “Diddy” Combs, whom he has accused of being a pawn of the Jews. Ye also went in on Meek Mill, who criticized him for wearing the White Lives Matter shirt.

The rapper blasted them both for failing to speak up when The Kardashians “Kidnapped” his daughter North and attempted to keep him from attending her birthday party. 

“I don’t got no celebrity friends. Because when I was on TV on Instagram saying, ‘I don’t know where my child is,’ and ‘the Kardashians kidnapped my daughter in public,’ and ‘I didn’t have the address to my child,’ none of these n##### that want to say something now…as far as Meek Mills, Puff Daddy, all you fake hard n##### f### you. You can’t shoot nobody anyway.

The reason why you got to talk is because you did a deal, you f###### fed. That’s why you got to come at me because part of the deal for you and…to get out of jail is that you promised that you gone to go pull my coat card. So y’all n##### shut the f### up about me. Let me say calm. You n##### shut the f### up about Michael. I’m Michael [Corleone]. I don’t get enough celebrity friends.

Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak Decided To Drop Out Of Grammy’s

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Silk Sonic stars Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak will not submit their album An Evening with Silk Sonic for Grammy consideration.

Bruno revealed in a statement that the duo are not submitting the 2021 album to the Recording Academy to be considered for nominations for the 2023 Grammy Awards.

“We truly put our all on this record, but Silk Sonic would like to gracefully, humbly, and most importantly, sexually, bow out of submitting our album this year,” he said. “We hope we can celebrate with everyone on a great year of music and partake in the party. Thank you for letting Silk Sonic thrive.”

An Evening with Silk Sonic received rave reviews when it was released in November and was considered a top contender for Album of the Year at the 2023 ceremony.

“Andy and I, and everyone that worked on this project, won the moment the world responded to ‘Leave The Door Open.’ Everything else was just icing on the cake,” Mars continued. “We thank the Grammys for allowing us to perform on their platform – not once but twice – and awarding us at last year’s ceremony. We’d be crazy to ask for anything more. Thank you to everyone that supported this project and championed it.”

The 2023 Grammy Awards will take place on February 5th at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.

Kiss Group Member Paul Stanley Says Kanye’s Mental Illness Not An Excuse For Hate Speech

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

KISS frontman Paul Stanley has insisted mental illness is no reason to excuse Kanye West’s antisemitic outbursts.

West’s Instagram and Twitter accounts were locked last weekend after he shared posts that violated both platforms’ guidelines – including comments aimed at fellow rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs accusing “Jewish people” of telling him to call and “threaten or influence me.”

He later doubled down on the antisemitic comments by tweeting he was, “going death con 3 (sic) On JEWISH PEOPLE”.

The comments drew widespread condemnation from the likes of Jennifer Aniston, David Schwimmer, Jamie Lee Curtis, John Legend, and Jack Antonoff, as well as leaders from Jewish community organizations.

However, some expressed concern that a mental health episode might be behind the comments, as West has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and the latest comments came amid a spate of erratic behavior.

Paul Stanley, who is Jewish, has been supportive in the past when West has faced criticism over his actions but tweeted that mental illness cannot be used as a pass for spreading hate.

“Mental illness IS a disease but should NEVER be used to minimize the danger of hate speech, advocating antisemitism and violence against religions or ethnicities,” he wrote. “We have found ways over centuries to rationalize this behavior and viewed the atrocities that followed. SPEAK UP!”

Kanye West shocked fans last week when he wore a “White Lives Matter” shirt during an appearance at Paris Fashion Week, drawing a backlash. 

He later doubled down on his views as part of an interview on Fox News and made an inflammatory comment about Lizzo’s weight.

Swizz Beatz opened a pop-up skating rink in Saudi Arabia.

The veteran producer launched Al-‘Ula on Wheels, which is described as an immersive sound skating experience. Swizz Beatz curated the pop-up to offer three weekends of skating and music in the city of Al-‘Ula.

“If you know me, you know I love roller skating,” Swizz Beatz told Page Six. “There is no other feeling quite like the energy of a skating rink. Bringing the first immersive roller skating experience to Al-‘Ula is an incredible honor.”

Al-‘Ula on Wheels attendees get to skate on an open-air rink with an international DJ headlining each weekend.

“To merge … roller skating and local culture… at this ancient, and almost mythical location is really special,” Swizz Beatz said.

He added, “Al-‘Ula on Wheels is the ultimate expression of feel-good nostalgia. To bring the world’s freshest music and all-star talent to an open-air skate rink in the ancient city is a dream come true.”

Swizz Beatz’s Al-‘Ula On Wheel will be open until October 22. The Grammy winner created the pop-up with his Good Intentions creative agency, which he founded in Saudi Arabia in 2021.

The skating rink experience is part of the 2022 Al-‘Ula Wellness Festival.
