Diddy Urges Fans Not To Wear Kanye West’s “White Lives Matter” Shirt: “It’s Not A Joke” 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Diddy has clarified his earlier comments regarding Kanye West’s “White Lives Matter,” designs after his remarks were perceived as support. 

During an interview with The Breakfast Club on Wednesday (Oct. 5), Diddy explained that while he wasn’t excusing Kanye, the rapper turned fashion designer is often misunderstood.  

Despite stating, “It really ain’t no time for no other lives matter but the tribe,” and “You have to be unapologetically Black,” some misconstrued Diddy’s remarks.  

Diddy Says Don’t Buy Kanye West’s “White Lives Matter” Designs

He took to Instagram to share a video expounding his views on Kanye West and the “White Lives Matter” slogan.  

Diddy began stating that while he doesn’t address every bit of Internet chatter, he felt compelled to clarify his remarks regarding Ye’s “White Lives Matter” designs. “I’ve always been there and I will always support my brother Kanye as a free thinker,” Diddy began. “But the ‘White Lives Matter’ t-shirt. I don’t rock with it. I’m not with it.” 

The Hip-Hop mogul went on to say that the controversy is not a “joke” like the press and the fashion industry are making out.  

“Right now, all America has planned for us is poverty, incarceration and death,” Diddy continued. He acknowledged that while all life matters, the “Black Lives Matter” movement is not to be played with. “So, before I could get to any other lives matter … that Black lives matter, don’t play with it.” 

Diddy then doubled down and urged fans not to buy or promote the controversial shirt. “Don’t wear the shirt, don’t buy the shirt. don’t play with the shirt. It’s not a joke,” he concluded. Check out his comments in full below.

Kanye West apparently saw Diddy’s remarks as “support for standing my ground.” He shared an article by the Daily Mail, writing “we broke the trauma mind control” and “nobody is trauma drunk no more.”  

Ye also boasted about the success of his “paradigm shifting T-shirt,” stating that it was the only thing worth talking about from Paris Fashion Week. Check out Kanye’s latest musings below.  

Kodak Black Calls For BET Boycott After Latto’s ‘Big Energy’ Wins Song Of The Year 

By: London JennnCategory: News

While Latto is celebrating her win at the BET Hip-Hop Awards, where she scooped the top spot in the Song of the Year category for “Big Energy,” Kodak Black is furious, and wants fans to boycott the rap platform.  

The Florida native was in the running alongside Latto for “Super Gremlin,” the hit single from his No. 1 album, Back for Everything.  

However, Latto earned the win over Kodak’s single in a category that also included Hitkidd & Glorilla, “F.N.F. (Let’s Go); Jack Harlow, “First Class”; Cardi B, Kanye West & Lil Durk, “Hot S###; Future feat. Drake & Tems, “Wait for You”; and Drake feat. Future & Young Thug, “Way 2 Sexy.” 

According to Kodak Black, Latto won in a women empowerment “plot” orchestrated against him by BET. He took to social media on Wednesday to call out the network for giving the award to Latto, who he mockingly called “Frappuccino.” 

“This whole s### looked like a damn plot,” he said during an Instagram Live session. “They probably hollerin’ at BET, like don’t give him that s###. I told [people] weeks ago. Watch they finna play with me and give it to Frappuccino.” 

Latto Responds To Kodak Black

Latto clearly caught wind of her former collaborator‘s comments, taking to her own social media platforms with a classy response. She posted a series of photos of herself with the caption “Frappuccino,” on Instagram before taking to Twitter to pose a question. “What kinda Frappuccino I look like I taste like??? 👅,” the “It’s Giving” rapper penned. Check out her posts below.

Nonetheless, Kodak Black had more to say on the subject. He upped the ante from his previous comments calling for a BET boycott. He also said the award should have gone to Glorilla instead of “that hating ass mutt.” 

“The Woman Empowerment S### Kool ! Don’t Take Nun From Nobody But You Still Gotta Work For It!” he began. “Don’t Jus Simply Give It To Somebody Kuz They A Woman !!!!! If That’s The Case Y’all Shoulda Gave Song Of The Year To Glorilla Not That Hating Ass Mutt 🐶” 

He then tagged Connie Orlando, executive vice president at BET, and called for her sacking. Finally, Kodak Black stated, “Everyone Needa Boycott,” BET. “Y’all Lame Af & Y’all Not Really For The People Fr ! BET WATERED DOWN !!!,” he added. Check out his comments in full at the end of the page.  

Meanwhile, Latto has another reason to celebrate. According to Chart Data, “Big Energy” is now the longest charting solo female rap song in Hot 100 history.

Kanye West Reaffirms “White Lives Matter” Slogan: “They Do” 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Despite the hefty backlash, Kanye West is standing by his decision to design and wear a “White Lives Matter” logo on designs for his YZY SZN 9 fashion show. 

The rapper turned fashion mogul had the internet in a frenzy after photos from Monday’s Paris Fashion Week show surfaced online. Ye was pictured alongside controversial far right-wing commentator Candace Owens – a vocal critic of the “Black Lives Matter” movement. Kanye and Owens both wore the “White Lives Matter” shirt, as did several YZY runway models.  

Kanye West became the No.1 trending topic on Twitter, with fans sharing their opinions, many critical of the move. Jaden Smith, who was reportedly at the show, walked out and condemned Ye online. “I Don’t Care Who’s It Is If I Don’t Feel The Message I’m Out, ” he penned. “Black Lives Matter.”  

Boosie Badazz and Van Lathan also called out Kanye over the controversial shirt, alongside many others.  

Kanye West Responds to “White Lives Matter” Backlash  

As with most of his recent controversies, Kanye West took to Instagram to respond. He first shared a message in his Stories: “Everyone knows that Black Lives Matter was a scam.” Ye then shared a photo of the “White Lives Matter” shirt and doubled down on the message in the caption.  

“Here’s my latest response when people ask me why I made a tee that says white lives matter… THEY DO,” wrote Ye on Wednesday.  

Instagram Kanye West

One person in Kanye West’s corner is Diddy, who said Ye is often “misconstrued,” although he added, ‘ain’t no time for no other lives matter but the tribe.” 

“Kanye, my boy, is a super, super, super free thinker,” Diddy said during an interview with The Breakfast Club. “A lot of times what he means is like misconstrued and sometimes just… I’m not making excuses. I’m just saying that if he did it, that’s the way he thinks, and so I understand white lives do matter but it’s not that. That was our slogan. That wasn’t our slogan to go share with nobody else. That’s the only message.” 

Diddy then highlighted disproportionate rates of African Americans incarcerated and living in poverty. 

“It really ain’t no time for no other lives matter but the tribe,” he stated. “You have to be unapologetically Black and love your people and love your tribe first.”  

He continued, “We ain’t got no time for no internet ‘White Lives Matter’… we need to be focusing on ourselves. Let them White Lives themselves out.” Listen to his comments in full below.

Ice Spice Responds To Sex Tape Rumors

By: IllseedCategory: Rumors

I wrote about it. I was shocked to see it, but Ice Spice is saying “It ain’t true.” A couple days ago Twitter was on fire, because Ice Spice supposedly had a sextape for all to see on the social network. As I said, I wasn’t about to post such filth on AHH. Nevertheless, it was crazy to see! Now, this supposed Ice Spice was seen in at least two capacities that I saw. Neither one gave a clear view of her unique face, but it did seem to have her unique hair.

Some people even suggested that it was Drake that did the leaking of this tape. Now, I definitely find that crazy. I do not think that Drizzy would leak his own privates for the world to see just to expose a fledgling rapper. Anyway, that is out.

She says this ain’t her in the sex tape.

I totally missed this yesterday. It seems like she ain’t tripping off it.

As nothing as this is, it did not stop people from having fun with it and I don’t mean playing with themselves.

David Biga Serves Change From A Floating Lemonade Stand

By: Staff WriterCategory: Music News

Since the release of Post Traumatic Growth, David Biga has demonstrated an ability to simplify complex ideas which have become apparent to an increasing number of supporters. With that ability in mind, we listened to his 4th project, Lemonade Stand.

Lemonade Stand is an eleven-track project, adding to David Biga‘s now four-album discography. The track list immerses listeners into Biga‘s life over the last couple of years. From lyrical mentions referring to relatable struggles and abstract dialogue referring to dealing with the stresses caused by the pandemic, each track provides insight into how Biga turned some of life’s lemons into lemonade.

It is also worth mentioning that there is at least one song for every type of hip-hop listener, as the album branches out into several different sub-genres. Lemonade Stand appears to be a symbolic representation of Biga’s choice to love himself and each song reminds listeners of their ability to do the same. 

The album artwork created by Ghanaian artist @themanyphacedgod (Samuel Blankson) portrays David Biga standing behind a lemonade stand floating in a body of water. With a closer look, this water appears to symbolize depression in the form of drowning by highlighting two hands floating underwater holding up two glasses of lemonade next to a sign reading “Lemons 4 Change”.

Although the album has a simple title, Biga and his Lemonade Stand goes much deeper than a simple glass of lemonade. The Chicago, Illinois, and Dayton, Ohio-based record label Novelist Music Group posted the artwork on Instagram with the caption: “An airplane crashes in the middle of the ocean. Soon after, a floating lemonade stand comes to the surface. It’s been a while, can I get you some lemonade?” 

We follow @DavidBiga on Instagram and in his own words he wrote,

“My 4th studio album, Lemonade Stand – is now available. Can I get you some Lemonade”

Mase Accuses Diddy Of Being High Following Diss

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Mase responded to Diddy after the Hip Hop mogul dissed the former Bad Boy Records artist on The Breakfast Club.

Diddy called Mase a fake pastor and mentioned an alleged $3 million debt on the radio show. Diddy targeted Mase while discussing accusations about stealing money from artists.

Mase addressed the comments in a post on Instagram. He claimed Diddy was mad because the rapper-turned-minister wouldn’t accept a fake apology.

“Yo, you see how people act when you won’t let them come on stage and give they fake apology so they can promote that little wack song,” Mase said.

He added in the post’s caption, “He just [angry] I did not want him to come on stage with me to give his fake apology. You’re high chill out! I’M GOOD LOVE.”

Diddy felt he was unfairly criticized for not paying artists enough. He challenged anyone, including Mase, to prove the record executive owes them money.

“I did one album with Mase,” Diddy said. “One album! How much money do you think I owe this guy? One album? And then he became a fake pastor and went and conned people? And then y’all gonna let him throw dirt on the god’s name?”

Why would you take him from me?’ And she was like, ‘B####, I literally don’t want him. I don’t wanna f### with him! Are you stupid?’”

Styles P Announces Retirement – With A Catch

By: IllseedCategory: Rumors

Without a question, Styles P is one of the best rappers ever to touch the mic. For decades, he has had the consistency of a real master. And his solo work holds up with just about anybody. Last year, he dropped a new group effort with Havoc, Wreckage Manner. Well, some stuff is about to change with a Gangster-slash-Gentleman.

He has announced his retirement from solo work. That kind of sucks, but the good thing is he revealed that he will continue with music with The Lox. I know SHEEK and Jada are relieved! I know Jada is revered, but Styles has the biggest solo body of work out of the three of them. He explained his reasons in an IG post for all to see.

I say this with a deeper over standing of self and evaluating the status of my own mental health. I have noticed I have become less spiritually healthy than I used to be . I believe I have run myself down a tad bit over the past few years. Being a super hard working emcee and a health advocate. For one, I’m not really that great at multi tasking it’s actually my drive that keeps me going and that slack falls back on my family, business partners and co workers. I thought about it harder and came to the conclusion that I need to walk away from my solo career period ( I think I gave y’all enough ). I will just do LOX s### and a feature here and there if it moves me . I’m about to be a board member on several very important boards (I am not at liberty to mention right now and a few other ventures that I also care not to mention right now ). My main focus is trying to push @farmacyforlife to the next level. I’ve realized I slacked and never adequately traveled to the juices bk location , the fordham location and barely go to the Tremont location. This isn’t fair to my partners nor is it inspirational to the youth that are watching. It’s also not fair to myself to be honest with you . For that I apologize. As a result, I am stepping away from @juicesforlife as a co founder and owner . I believe, Rather I know , the people are In good hands with my partners and brothers they have the same passion and drive and care for the people as I do .. so y’all good . Of course you will see me In the spots and of course I’m going to keep pushing the movement when it comes to health . I just gotta go figure a better way to do it and not harm myself mentally nor inconvenience others anymore. As far as any juices for life business goes I will plug you with one of my partners and the job will get done! The people need their health. Never forget, the message is always bigger than the messenger!!! So if you know the way, spread it . That is all that counts!!

Zumbi Homicide Case Not Closed Despite Reports

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Authorities are still investigating the death of Zion I’s Zumbi.

Zumbi’s mother Carolyn Gaines addressed the status of her son’s case after The Mercury News published a story claiming the investigation was closed. The article said his death had been ruled a homicide but no criminal charges would be filed.

Gaines denied the case was closed in a statement to AllHipHop. Zumbi’s mother revealed she spoke with Alameda County District Attorney Nancy O’Malley about the matter on Wednesday (October 5).

“Nothing has been finalized on criminal charges related to my son’s death,” Gaines said. “I feel assured and confident that this case is not over and criminal charges remain likely. I am holding steadfast that the institutions responsible for my son’s death will be held accountable.”

Gaines’ lawyer Elizabeth Grossman also talked to the district attorney.

“We are not sure who is responsible for the misinformation in the article, but I spoke directly with Nancy O’Malley today and a final decision has not been made,” Grossman said.

According to The Mercury News, Zumbi died after being restrained by hospital staffers and handcuffed by police. His death was ruled a homicide by Chief Forensic Pathologist Dr. Vivian Snyder.

The late rapper’s family is seeking criminal charges for his death. A spokesperson for the district attorney told the Mercury News “no criminal charges were to be filed” in an article published on September 30.

Zumbi, whose real name was Stephen Gaines, passed away in August 2021. The Zion I member is survived by his three sons.

Azealia Banks Slams “Dusty Ass” Female Rappers For Supporting Nicki Minaj; Gives Props To Cardi B

By: Kershaw St. JawnsonCategory: News

Rapper Azealia Banks took time out from shopping at a Home Depot to address the recent social media fight between Cardi B, JT, and Akbar V. 

You’ve had to be under a rock to have not at least heard of the nasty back and forth that the ladies in rap music have been engaging. Most of the mudslinging has happened on Twitter, where one might say the girls are virtually vaseline-ing up their faces and digitally discarding their earrings.

In a video from her Instagram Live, Azealia Banks called the young ladies in the mainstream “chickenhead a## f##king b##ches” for joining Nicki Minaj’s crusade against Cardi B.

Banks said, “The fact that this b##ch that would not give a f##k about you on any other f##king day … never collab with you … never share her platform with you … is making all you other b##ches risk your own f##king platform … your own f##king s### … to do her dirty work … that this p##sy a## b##ch is too f##king scared to do … all of you b##ches look stupid.”

Azealia Banks called them some “Doja a## b##ches” for jumping on Nicki’s bandwagon. And Azealia reminded the other artists that she was more than just a female rapper. 

The Harlem native shared that she was a “talented musician” and she “would never mention” any of them to give them shine.

One of her pet peeves is that the girls coming at Cardi, in her opinion, were once “in Cardi’s face” but have jumped ship to be down with Nicki Minaj.

For her part, she believes she and Cardi have twin spirits— despite having beef in the past— and noted that Cardi is like so many girls that she grew up with in Washington Heights, a neighborhood a hop skip and a jump from the Bronx where the “W.A.P.” rapper is originally from.

In her extremely linear rant, Azealia clearly articulated why she thinks the pile-on approach of getting at the Bronx bombshell is corny. She addressed what she thinks is the underlined reason for the hate.

“The fact that all of y’all girls is letting y’all Spanish girl jealousy fly right now is so f##king dusty,” she said in disgust.

Azealia Banks ended her now virtual rant with a message for Cardi, telling her to “stop taking the bait,” reminding Cardi who she is.

“You did s### that f##king n##### in the game can’t even do. Like you got a diamond single. You got a Grammy,” she fumed. “This b##ch has been in the game, how many f##king years, and she had to share her first Grammy. That’s why she is f##king mad.”

“She’s mad ’cause she lost. Let her take that L,” Azealia’s IG live concluded.

Kanye West Expands His “War” To Khloé Kardashian; Claims Children Were Kidnapped

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Kanye West squabbled with Khloé Kardashian after she defended her sister Kim Kardashian on Wednesday (October 5).

The dispute began when Kanye West scolded Gigi Hadid in wake of his “White Lives Matter” shirt controversy. ‘Ye complained about the model not supporting him when he accused the Kardashian family of keeping him away from his daughter on her birthday.

Khloé Kardashian responded to Kanye West’s latest rant in a comment on Instagram. She begged him to stop airing out Kim Kardashian and the rest of her family on social media.

“Ye, I love you,” she wrote. “I don’t want to do this on social media but YOU keep bringing it here. You are the father of my nieces and nephews and I’m trying to be respectful but please STOP tearing Kimberly down and using our family when you want to deflect.”

She continued, “Again with the birthday narrative. Enough already. We all know the truth and in my opinion, everyone’s tired of it. You know exactly where your children are at all times and YOU wanted separate birthdays. I have seen all of the texts to prove it. And when you changed your mind and wanted to attend, you came.”

Khloé Kardashian concluded her plea with an offer to talk to Kanye West in private.

“Like you have pointed out yourself, [Kim Kardashian] is the one taking care of your kids 80% of the time,” she wrote. “Please Leave her and the family out of it so that the kids can be raised peacefully. I come from a place of love and I am happy to continue this conversation privately if you wish.”

Kanye West fired back by calling the Kardashians liars. He kept complaining about his daughter’s birthday and brought up a similar grievance involving his youngest son.

“YOU ARE LYING AND ARE LIARS YALL BASICALLY KIDNAPPED CHICAGO ON HER BIRTHDAY SO SHE COULD REMEMBER HER FATHER NOT BEING THERE,” he wrote. “TRAV GAVE ME THE ADDRESS OF MY CHILDS PARTY THATS HOW YALL PLAY WITH BLACK FATHERS.”

Kanye West added, “YALL ALSO THREW A PARTY BEFORE PSALMS BIRTHDAY WHEN I WAS FLYING BACK FROM JAPAN TO BE THERE FOR HIS BIRTHDAY AND THE FIRST I HEARD ABOUT IT WAS SEEING PICS OF THE PARTY ON LINE ALSO I SHOULD SEE MY CHILDREN 100 % OF THE TIME BUT SINCE THERE’S A SEPARATION IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN 50% OF THE TIME YA’LL WOULDN’T HAVE PLAYED WITH DONDA LIKE THAT IN JESUS NAME.”

Kim Kardashian filed to divorce Kanye West in 2021. The former couple shares four children.

High School Football Team Hosts Slave Auction,” Cancels Season

By: IllseedCategory: Rumors

It is universally accepted that kids do some stupid stuff. But what does it take to be so dumb that a bunch of dudes get together and decide to host a slave auction among some football players. This is “dumb jock” redefined.

So, folks, this is how it went down, if you have not already seen in other publications.

Cali’s River Valley High School football team staged a mock slave auction with three black students that said there I their undies and let it happen. They are calling it a “stunt” and a “prank, but I beg to differ.. All of this went down in a locker room, but somebody decided to tape it and release it.

The video has their faces blurred out, but the Black football players are standing with there twiddling their hands as people point at them, in an apparent effort to buy them.

Yuba City Unified School District Superintendent Doreen Osumni said this was highly offensive in a statement to CNN. DUH.

“Re-enacting a slave sale as a prank tells us that we have a great deal of work to do with our students so they can distinguish between intent and impact. They may have thought this skit was funny, but it is not; it is unacceptable and requires us to look honestly and deeply at issues of systemic racism. The recording clearly demonstrates that this situation was orchestrated and organized, which underscores my concern that students spent time contemplating this terrible act without the slightest regard that this action is hateful and hurtful.”

The football players that started the prank were suspended. They need to suspend the Black ones too, for being so damn dumb. Go read a book, you weirdoes.

This is definitely a “Sign The World Is Coming To An End.”

I want to talk to the parents! The kids! This is insane. What do you think?

Trae Tha Truth And His Relief Gang Saved Over 300 People After Hurricane Ian Ripped Through Florida

By: Kershaw St. JawnsonCategory: News

Houston rapper Trae Tha Truth is more than just a Hip-Hop pioneer, but he is also a superhero.

At least that is what some people on the coast of Florida believe after he came to the state and spent five days as a rescue and recovery team member.

According to KHOU 11, the artist came to help people impacted by Hurricane Ian. 

Trae Tha Truth shared talked about his effort, saying, “I think combined, they said with all of us, we’ve done over 300 rescues.”

He calls his crew the Relief Gang, and they started during Hurricane Harvey.

On Monday, October 3rd, he returned to Houston to refuel after helping to secure lives.

“We rescued newborns to the elderly, to disabled to everything. It’s been a hectic weekend,” Trae tha Truth explained. “It’s definitely different to see big yachts turned upside down like they’re toy boats. I’ll have to say it’ll be a long time before they get back to normal.

“It’s hurricane season. What do we expect people to do when it comes our way? We’re going to expect help, or we’re going to need help,” Trae said.

Diddy Says “Fake Pastor” Mase Owes Him $3 Million

By: Kershaw St. JawnsonCategory: News

For years the world has heard Pastor Mase talk about how he was done dirty by Diddy aka Brother Love. 

Now Puff is sharing his side of the story, and it seems like someone hasn’t been telling the “God’s honest truth.”

On the Breakfast Club, the Bad Boy executive talked about the reputation some artists have floated about him when he believes he gave them “opportunity” and helped them make “more money” they were making before.

Diddy said, “This vibe that they got on me … like I’m ‘Big Red’ [a character from ‘The Five Heartbeats’ or something [is crazy] … I came here, and I opened up the doors.”

Charlamagne asked, “So, you don’t steal from artists is what you are saying?”

“Never,” he continued.

“Mr. Won’t Stop, Can’t Stop,” said the reason there is a narrative that he steals from artists really boils down to the artists he has worked with having the “tap out” button.

“When you get to a certain point, and the money is running low, you have to run this hustle to try and find somebody to blame,” he explained.

He added, “I have all my receipts. We are going to do a special, a retrospective, with all the artists, and we are going to get this narrative cleared.”

He then turned his attention to Mase, addressing the rumors around him exploiting the Harlem native.

“I did one album with Mase. How much money do you think I owe this guy? One album? And then he became a fake pastor and conned people?” Diddy remarked. “Then y’all gonna let him throw dirt on the god’s name?”

He challenged all those who were signed to him and believed they were done wrong to step up and bring their receipts.

Diddy, who started out the mud throwing parties back in the 80s, said he is “back outside” and going to do some fighting for his people and himself.

Charlamagne asked Diddy, “How much money would someone like a Mase owe you?”

And without hesitation, Puffy said, “Mase owes me $3 million. That’s facts. I got the receipts.” He said if someone had receipts proving he owes them, he would pay them “within 24 hours.”

Envy chimed in to get confirmation: “Second album. You gave him money to do a second album, and he didn’t deliver.”

Diddy said he was “not going to go back and forth with Mase.”

Diddy said even popular rap group, The Lox, will help him clear up his name.

This is not the first time someone has questioned Mase’s integrity as a businessman this year. 

As reported by AllHipHop.com, Fivio Foreign said Mase tried to gank him early in his career. Mase vehemently denied that was the case.

Jason Lee Terminates Work Relationship With Kanye West; Disappointed In Rapper Over “White Lives Matter” Controversy

By: Kershaw St. JawnsonCategory: News

Media personailty Jason Lee quits working with troubled rapper Kanye West a few weeks before the designer was photographed with Candace Owens wearing a “White Lives Matter” shirt.

According to Page Six, the “Hollywood Unlocked” influencer decided to leave his post as the head of media and partnerships for West, not explicitly because of his erratic behavior, trouble with big brands like GAP and Adidas, nor because of his manic position on race. 

He left to start another talk show.

He made the announcement amid all of the conversations about his former boss’ WLM shirt decision.

On his Instagram Story, he wrote, “Very humble and thankful to Ye for the opportunity to work with him, but that part of our relationship has come to an end.”

He spoke about his feelings on why West chose to wear the shirt, saying the artist is “gaslighting” people.

A post shared by JASON LEE (@theonlyjasonlee)

“I love Ye as a person, and I support free speech. But this is gaslighting black people and empowering white supremacy. Not sure if he has any friends left to tell him but this is utterly disappointing,” Lee stated.

Adding, “I’m going to exercise free speech and say, nobody Black has ever said that white lives don’t matter. But when Black people do this it just screams the need for white validation.”

“Not to mention, adding Candace Owens to this photo is beyond reprehensible,” he wrote. “I understand he believes in her right to free speech, but her speech is typically embedded in self hate, a determination to promote white supremacy, and she lacks integrity.”

Lee, a proficient media person, stated, “This is sad.” Jason Lee was named Head of Media and Partnerships for Kanye in March of 2022.

Kanye West continued to stand on his position and said on his Story, “Everyone knows that Black Lives Matter was a scam now it’s over you’re welcome.”

Cardi B Gets Tasha K’s Bank Info And Wants To Seize The $1,083.02 In The Account

By: Kershaw St. JawnsonCategory: News

Rapper Cardi B is dead set on making sure blogger Tasha K pays her every bit of the money she owes her after losing the multi-million-dollar defamation case.

While the popular YouTuber has gone on record saying she is not going to pay the Bronx Bomber her money, Cardi’s clear she is not letting anything slide.

According to Radar, JP Morgan Chase Bank contacted Cardi to tell her that Tasha and her company, Kebe Studios had a paltry $1,083.02 in their bank accounts.

As reported by AllHipHop.com, Cardi B sued the vlogger after she made allegations on her podcast/ YouTube show that the “W.A.P.” singer had Herpes, used to be a prostitute or an escort, and did hard drugs.

The Grammy-winning artist said the allegations caused her emotional distress and even caused problems in her marriage to rapper Offset. As a result, Cardi says she had to go to a therapist.

Cardi B won the case. A jury awarded the Bronx rapper $1 million in general damages and $250k in medical expenses for a total of $1.25 million and $1.5 million in punitive damages and another $1.3 million for her attorney fees.

Now, Cardi wants her cash and has asked JP Morgan Chase to fork over funds to pay her debt. Tasha K. is fighting the judgment, and the case is currently winding through a court of appeals.

Drake has the third-longest charting Hip Hop album in Billboard 200 history. 2011’s Take Care takes the #67 spot on this week’s Billboard 200, giving the project its 500th week on the chart.

Take Care joins Eminem’s Curtain Call: The Hits (599 weeks) and Kendrick Lamar’s Good Kid, M.A.A.D City (518 weeks) in Billboard‘s 500-week club. Only 16 albums have charted for that amount of time.

Upon its release in November 2011, Take Care opened at #1 on the Billboard 200 with 631,000 first-week copies sold. The studio LP garnered critical acclaim and won Best Rap Album at the 2013 Grammy Awards.

Take Care features appearances by The Weeknd, Rihanna, Kendrick Lamar, Birdman, Nicki Minaj, Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, and André 3000. The OVO rapper’s sophomore effort hosts the Top 40 hits “Marvins Room,” “Headlines,” “Make Me Proud,” “The Motto,” and “Take Care.”

Drake’s most recent LP, Honestly, Nevermind, dropped in June of this year. Honestly, Nevermind debuted at #1 with 204,000 album-equivalent units. After 15 weeks, the project remains on the Billboard 200 at #29.

Drake’s discography also includes 2013’s Nothing Was The Same which has spent 441 weeks on the Billboard 200 chart. 2016’s Views album currently sits at 333 weeks. 2017’s More Life managed to remain on the chart for 275 weeks.

In addition to Drake, several other Hip Hop artists reached impressive Billboard 200 milestones in recent months. J. Cole’s 2014 Forest Hills Drive crossed the 400-week mark in early August.

Later that same month, Tyler, The Creator’s Igor surpassed 150 weeks on the Billboard 200. Post Malone saw his Stoney spend its 300th week on the album sales rankings in September.

Back in February, R&B/Pop megastar Rihanna made it into Billboard‘s 300-week club. Her chart-topping Anti album from 2016 is closing in on 350 weeks. Anti presently maintains a 335-week run on the album chart.

Lauryn Hill’s Daughter Selah Marley Responds To Backlash Over Wearing Ye’s “White Lives Matter” Shirt

Kanye “Ye” West was not the only person to catch heat for his “White Lives Matter” shirt. Selah Marley, the daughter of Lauryn Hill and Rohan Marley, also faced significant online backlash.

Many social media users slammed Selah Marley for taking part in Kanye West’s Yeezy Season 9 fashion show. The Paris-set event featured models, such as Selah, wearing “White Lives Matter” shirts.

On Tuesday, Selah Marley addressed the controversy on her Instagram Story. The 23-year-old granddaughter of Reggae legend Bob Marley stated she would not allow people on the internet to bully her.

“The past 24 hours has allowed me to realize that most of yall are stuck in a hive mentality,” posted Selah Marley. “You do what the group tells you to do and think what the group tells you to think. Witnessing someone break free from ‘the agenda’ sends you all into such a panic that you will do whatever it takes to force them back into the box that you feel they should exist in.”

She continued, “You cannot bully me, manipulate me, or coax me into silence. Nor will you bully me into being who I don’t want to be. I don’t care how many tweets you make, DMs you send, or articles you write.”

Selah Marley concluded her IG statement by writing, “Throughout all the chaos, I have yet to speak on my experience. If you know me, you know that nothing I do is without deep thought and intention. Wait til you hear what I have to say.”

In addition, Selah Marley shared a text she apparently sent to Kanye West. The message included Selah seemingly asking Ye to help her to continue the conversation about the “White Lives Matter” apparel in order to show the “depth” and “purity” of the decision.

The negative reactions to Kanye West’s “White Lives Matter” shirts mostly stem from the belief that the phrase is a reactionary talking point used by white supremacists, white nationalists, and the Alt-Right. West also upset some people by downplaying the Black Lives Matter movement in response to the critiques.
