Wack 100 Still Doesn’t Believe Tory Lanez Shot Megan Thee Stallion

A California jury convicted Tory Lanez on three felony charges in 2022, which were connected to the 2020 shooting of Megan The Stallion.

Megan Thee Stallion publicly named Tory Lanez as the shooter. Following his trial, a judge sentenced Lanez to 10 years in prison for assault with a semiautomatic handgun, having a loaded and unregistered firearm in a vehicle and gross negligence in discharging his firearm.

Despite the judicial system ruling Tory Lanez guilty, there are rap personalities who believe the Canadian singer/rapper’s claims of innocence. For example, Wack 100 still thinks Lanez didn’t pull the trigger that night.

“Tory’s innocent… He didn’t do that s###,” Wack 100 said on No Jumper’s Adam & Wack 100 Show. Wack also went on to say, “He’ll be home in two years.” No Jumper founder, Adam22, disagreed.

Adam22 argued anyone claiming Tory Lanez didn’t shoot Megan Thee Stallion essentially accepts a conspiracy theory about the case. At one point, Lanez’s father, Sonstar Peterson, pushed an unsubstantiated narrative that Roc Nation somehow conspired against his son.

“Who do you think shot [Megan Thee Stallion]?” Adam22 asked Wack 100. The longtime manager of rap acts like The Game and Blueface responded, “Kelsey… accidental they’re struggling for the gun, yeah.”

Kelsey Harris, Megan’s former friend, was at the scene of the shooting on July 12, 2020. Harris testified during Lanez’s trial. Prosecutors also presented a text message from Harris that night which read, “Help. Tory shot Meg. 911.”

Akademiks previously expressed skepticism about Tory Lanez’s guilt. The podcaster said, “I’m still kinda a little doubtful, but the verdict is the verdict. I think the people who were reporting at court at that time were biased.”

Megan Thee Stallion recently delivered a message to her doubters and condemners. During her set at the Outside Lands Festival, the Grammy winner declared, “F### all my haters! None of that s### you was doing or saying broke me.”

R&B veteran Ciara let her 7-track CiCi EP loose on August 18. The project hosts songs such as “BRB,” “How We Roll” featuring Chris Brown and “Forever” featuring Lil Baby.

A Twitter (X) user took aim at Ciara for her “BRB” song. College of William & Mary women’s basketball assistant coach Kenia Cole posted, “She making Tik Tok music [at this point.]”

Ciara responded to Coach Kenia Cole’s critical take. The Grammy winner shot back, “And… you’re watching… 🙂 taking time to comment. Gotta love it. #CiCi EP.”

One of the singer’s fans showed her support by posting, “THANK YOU FOR LETTING #CiCi OUT ON THESE HOES! SHUT ‘EM UP, FAVE!!!!!!!! #CiCi outside [for real], lmaoooooo YES!!!!!!”

That comment led to Ciara stating, “Not the assistant coach of a women’s basketball team taking time to hate… that makes no sense.” She added a GIF of actress Viola Davis grabbing her purse.

CiCi joins a discography that also includes full-length albums like 2004’s Goodies, 2006’s The Evolution, 2009’s Fantasy Ride and her self-titled LP in 2013.

The music video for “How We Roll” co-starring Chris Brown racked up 8.8 million YouTube views since its premiere on August 4. “Forever” with Lil Baby already surpassed 1.1 million plays in three days.

Soulja Boy Denies Being In Illuminati, Claims He’d Have Fewer Haters As A Devil Worshipper

Hip-hop artists have long faced allegations of belonging to the Illuminati, with some of your favorite rappers accused of selling their soul or sacrificing loved ones in the pursuit of fortune and fame. 

Soulja Boy is no different, and his rise in the industry was subject to the same Illuminati conspiracy theories after he seemingly came out of nowhere and was propelled to early viral success when he emerged onto the scene in the late 2000s.  

During a recent Instagram Live session, the Atlanta-based rapper addressed accusations he’s part of the occult. However, according to Soulja Boy, if he were involved in the Illuminati, he’d have already shut down all his haters.  

“‘Soulja Boy joined the Illuminati, that’s how he got his money. That’s how he got famous, that’s how he got rich,’” he told his IG Live viewers, recounting the gossip. “But guess what? All I ever did was pray to God and stayed in the studio and stayed down until I made it, until I got on. They always gon’ try to discredit you for anything you do.” 

The “Crank That (Soulja Boy)” hitmaker  explained his belief in God means “you gon’ go through s###.” Among these trials are facing lies in the media and beefing with unknown haters. “You go through more s### when you f#####’ with God.” 

Moreover, Soulja Boy insisted his life would be easier if he actually dabbled in the dark forces.  

“If I was like a devil ass artist that worship the devil and s###, I’d be straight,” he surmised. “It wouldn’t be no blogs lying on my name, it wouldn’t be no rappers beefing with me, you know what I’m saying? But since I f### with God, I’ma go through more s### than the average person.”

Lul Tim’s Attorney Confirms Rapper Beat King Von Murder Charges 

By: London Jennn Updated Category: News
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

Lul Tim’s attorney has reportedly confirmed the murder charges against him have been dropped. 

YouTube creator Mickey Truth broke the news this weekend, claiming Lul Tim—who was initially arrested for the murder of King Von—beat the murder charges after prosecutors classified his actions as self-defense. However, at that time, there was no official confirmation, and a search for Lul Tim’s government name in the Fulton County case records garnered no results.   

King Von was fatally shot during a fight outside an Atlanta Hookah lounge on November 6, 2020. Cops arrested Lul Tim the following day. He was charged with felony murder in King Von’s death.   

Authorities believe Von was fatally shot during an altercation between his entourage and a group of people that included Quando Rondo and Luh Tim. Six people were shot during an exchange of gunfire. Three of them, including Kin Von, died from their injuries.  

Lul Tim posted a $100,000 bond in March 2021 and was released from Fulton County Jail. 

However, Lul Tim’s attorney recently confirmed murder charges have been dropped. “The case against Mr. Leeks was dismissed prior to ever being indicted,” Noah Pines said in a statement to XXL.  

Meanwhile, Asian Doll, King Von’s girlfriend, reacted to the initial rumors on social media. She claimed it wasn’t a surprise that cops dropped the charges against Lul Tim because he didn’t do it. According to Asian Doll, King Von was taken out by the authorities.  

“Because the police said Tim ain’t kill him the police did,” she shared in a since-deleted tweet.

Lil Wop has announced he is calling off his transition after revealing earlier this year he was taking steps to become a transgender woman. 

The former Gucci Mane artist took to social media over the weekend to inform fans of his plans. According to Lil Wop, he made the decision because the baddies “need” him. However, he will still wear women’s clothing and identify as gay.  

“I ain’t transition no more the bad b###### & the trans b###### need a real n#### like me,” Wop wrote August 18. “And just to clarify I’m not saying I’m not gay or I’m not gone be dressing up I’m just not fully transition.” 

He added, “I’m gone be a boy to sometimes lol.”  

In May, Lil Wop took to social media to announce his plans to undergo a gender transition. “In The Transition Into Becoming A Full Transgender,” he wrote in the since-deleted post.  

He had previously come out as bisexual to his fans, revealing “I like Guys & Girls” in 2022.  

Days after announcing he will no longer be transitioning, Lil Wop turned X (formerly Twitter) into X-rated. He shared a trio of very explicit videos from his OnlyFans account with his followers. While he appears to be the person in the extremely graphic clips, it is unclear if the videos are throwbacks or if the Chicago-based rapper has cut off his dreadlocks.

Halle Bailey is the topic of internet gossip with unfounded speculation she’s pregnant, and her sister Chloe is not here for it, telling the rumor mongers to stop talking about her lil sis.  

The star of Disney’s The Little Mermaid remake was at the center of a social media storm over the weekend, with users claiming she’s pregnant sparked by clips of Halle Bailey wearing baggy clothes. Many people shared recent videos of Halle wearing an oversized shirt dress, claiming she’s hiding a growing baby bump.  

The videos are from August 14, when Halle and Chloe attended Beyonce’s stop on the Renaissance World Tour in Atlanta.  

Others posted a clip from her rapper boyfriend’s YouTube Vlogs. In one video, a woman who appears to be Halle wearing a baggy tee walks past DDG. She only appears on screen for a brief moment, but it was enough to convince many that Halle is pregnant. In another, fans catch the swiftest glimpse of her stomach while she’s wearing a bathing suit.  

However, big sister Chloe heard the whispers and stuck up for Halle during a recent Instagram Live chat. While she didn’t shut down or address the gossip directly, she told folks to stop talking about Halle.   

“Y’all better keep my sister’s name out your mouth,” Chloe declared. “Thank you. Amen, hallelujah. ‘Bout to get me riled the hell up. Anyways…”  

When somebody off camera remarked, “We don’t play about Halle, “Chloe replied, “No. Like, what the heck? Period.”

Chrisean Rock Facing Backlash For Smoking During Pregnancy

Chrisean Rock and Blueface may have broken up, but their trials and tribulations are still being played out on their reality show, Crazy In Love. 

In the latest episode, which aired Sunday (20 August), the toxic couple is engaged in yet another argument. In one clip circulating on social media, Blueface and Chrisean are discussing how much money she makes.

However, rather than the usual backlash over the couple’s antics, viewers were more concerned about the expectant mother smoking. 

Many took to X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, to voice their thoughts. 

“Chrisean smoking while pregnant on an opening scene is insane,” one person wrote.  

“I can’t believe Chrisean Rock just smoking weed while she months pregnant on tv for the world to see,’ another added.  

One person challenged those who said pregnancy and motherhood would “change” Chrisean Rock. 

“Wait…Chrisean is on tv smoking a blunt while pregnant,” they wrote. “Which one of y’all FOOLISHLY said “this baby would change her”?” 

Despite the backlash, this isn’t the first time Chrisean Rock has been spotted smoking during her pregnancy. 

Back in March, Blueface defended her actions, despite previously condemning her for smoking while pregnant.  

“Lots of women smoke weed until their last trimester,” he posted on social media. “There is no effect don’t shoot the messenger.” 

However, the CDC states: “Marijuana use during pregnancy can be harmful to your baby’s health. The chemicals in marijuana (in particular, tetrahydrocannabinol or THC) pass through your system to your baby and may harm your baby’s development.” 

Meanwhile, despite their separation, Blueface and Chrisean Rock were spotted together at a party over the weekend, sparking reconciliation rumors. 

Nile Rodgers Threatens Far-Right Political Group In Switzerland For Using His Music

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Category: News

Nile Rodgers has threatened legal action after a far-right political group used the hit song “We Are Family” in a campaign.

The songwriter/musician has asked Switzerland’s rightwing populist Swiss People’s Party (SVP) to stop using a “soundalike” version of Sister Sledge’s song “We Are Family” in its election campaign.

In preparation for the Swiss parliamentary elections which will take place in October, SVP, who adheres to national conservatism, released “Das Isch d’SVP (That’s the SVP).”

The song’s chorus directly echoes the 1979 hit “We Are Family,” which was originally written by Rodgers and the late Bernard Edwards.

“I wrote ‘We Are Family’ to be the ultimate song about inclusion and diversity at all levels, regardless of race, ethnicity, age, gender, religion or sexual orientation,” the musician wrote on Twitter/X. “I condemn its use by the SVP (Swiss People’s Party) or anyone else not keeping with the values of the song and all decent people. The purpose of the song is to bring joy to all with no exclusions!”

Rodgers, 70, added, “@HipgnosisSongs, @sonymusicpub and @warnerchappell are all working to have the SVP cease and desist their use of the song.”

SVP delegate Thomas Matter has been credited as the artist behind the political group’s song, under the name DJ Tommy. Matter told Blick, a Swiss tabloid, that the track “has nothing to do with” the well-known hit.

“I know the song by Sister Sledge, that’s also a super song,” the former businessman told the outlet. “But ‘Das Isch d’SVP’ was written especially for this project and has nothing to do with ‘We Are Family.””

Matter, 57, added, “Of course, in pop music there are a million songs that sound alike, there’s nothing surprising or new about that.”

SVP’s song is no longer available to listen to on YouTube.

Lul Tim Might’ve Beat King Von Murder Charges—But Asian Doll Says He Didn’t Do It Anyway

By: Devon Jefferson Updated Category: Rumors

Lil Durk and members of the O’Block family aren’t going to be happy if the news about the prime suspect in King Von’s murder case is true.

According to multiple reports, Quando Rondo’s close associate Lul Tim, who’s accused of fatally shooting King Von in November 2020, is no longer facing charges in the murder case. Word on the street is YouTube creator Mickey Truth broke the news the charges against were dropped after discovering prosecutors reportedly now classify Lul Tim’s actions as self-defense. All of this information has flooded social media after several new videos from the deadly altercation surfaced—seemingly providing evidence that King Von was assaulting Quando Rondo before he died.

While Mikey Truth is obviously not an official source from the State of Georgia criminal justice system, Mr. Truth claims he got his information from the Fulton County Magistrate. And while confirmation that the charges against Lul Tim have been dropped hasn’t been fully vetted yet, a search for Lul Tim’s government name in the Fulton County case records turns up no results.

However, according to King Von’s former girlfriend Asian Doll, the charges being dropped against Lul Tim weren’t a surprise to her—because she claims he didn’t even do it. As other reacted to the news, Asian Doll also took to Twitter (X) and said she’s leaning toward an unconfirmed theory that King Von was taken out by authorities.

At the end of the day, it’s hard to even consider Asian Doll’s conspiracy theory, mainly because there appears to be video clearly showing Lul Tim allegedly firing the shots that killed King Von. But in all honesty, I’m not sure what to believe. Did Lul Tim really beat the case? Was King Von a serial killer like all of these Chicago drill rap YouTubers are claiming? Has Asian Doll exposed one of the wildest Hip-Hop police conspiracies of 2023?

I guess only time will tell.

Blac Chyna has opened up about her co-parenting relationships with Rob Kardashian and Tyga.

During a new interview with Entertainment Tonight, the model, 35, opened up about her co-parenting relationships with the fathers of her two children.

Chyna, real name Angela White, shares a son King Cairo, 10, with Tyga and a daughter, Dream, six, with Rob.

“I feel like with everything, time heals everything, and people change, and situations change, and you get to see the situation for what it is, and the situation is Dream,” the model told the outlet, referring to her shaky past with Rob, 36, and his family.

“And also too, let’s not leave out King and also co-parenting with Michael (Tyga) too, with King, so I feel like, as long as my kids are good and happy on both sides, that’s all I care about as a parent.”

Chyna continued, “My kids are really smart, and they have common sense, and they’re like the sweetest people, like little people, so they’re gonna be good, just them in general.”

She added, “I don’t ever worry when they go over to the other parent’s house, ’cause it’s like, ‘What are they doing over there?’ But I’m like, ‘Nah, my kids are good. They’re pretty smart.'”

Elsewhere in the interview, the Washington D.C. native addressed Khloé Kardashian recently claiming to be a third parent to Dream.

“You have to think, too, they’re so close, you know? Rob and Khloé. So of course, Dream’s gonna be like (that) with True, you know what I mean?” Chyna said, referring to Dream’s relationship with Khloé’s five-year-old daughter, True.

The model and Tyga, 33, began dating back in 2011 and welcomed King in October 2012. They decided to go their separate ways in 2014. Chyna was first linked to Rob in January 2016.

The pair announced their engagement three months later and welcomed Dream in November 2016. The pair split in 2017.

Pharrell Williams has recalled being appointed the men’s creative director of Louis Vuitton.

During a recent interview with GQ, the style icon admitted that he never expected to be asked to fill the role that was left vacant after iconic designer Virgil Abloh passed away in November 2021.

According to the outlet, the 50-year-old revealed that executives at the luxury fashion brand first broached the subject of the job out of the blue while he was in his studio in Miami Beach in December 2022.

“It wasn’t an interview or anything,” the “Happy” hitmaker said of his conversation with Louis Vuitton CEO Pietro Beccari. “It was like, ‘Will you accept this position? Will you accept this appointment?’ I’m looking at the water and I’m just like, ‘What?'”

Pharrell told GQ that he had been involved in conversations with the Louis Vuitton team about who might take over from Virgil and he even offered names, including Alexandre Arnault, son of Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton (LVMH) founder Bernard Arnault.

The star, who has had a relationship with Louis Vuitton for almost 20 years, had expected the position to go to his longtime friend Nigo, who is the creative director of Kenzo.

“He’s my hero, he’s my brother, and he’s the general,” Pharrell said. “I’ve been championing him for a minute. And whenever me and Alexandre talk about LV, we would always just talk about different people. I’ve always been in the background, just advising. I never thought that it would be me.”

Louis Vuitton announced that the musician would be taking on the position of men’s creative director on February 14. He debuted his first collection in June during Men’s Fashion Week in Paris.

Doja Cat is in a “chaotic place” when it comes to fashion. During an interview with Harper’s Bazaar for the September Icons Issue, the 27-year-old Grammy winner confessed that she is going through a “chaotic” time regarding her style.

“I’m in this kind of chaotic place right now when it comes to fashion, where I’ve just been going into my closet and picking out the most random, weird, not-fitting thing to mix with another thing that does not really fit,” Doja, real name Amala Dlamini, told the publication.

“It’s like mashed potatoes. But I’m embracing that,” the Woman artist continued. “It’s a little punk. It’s experimental for sure. It’s very manic. But I am going in a darker direction when it comes to visuals and fashion.”

Doja, who is known for her striking and adventurous style, noted that she likes to channel her emotions into her looks.

She added, “I have a lot of pent-up feelings and anger, and I want to express it with beauty.”

The artist shared that she has been experimenting with prosthetics lately, for example, when she famously wore cat prosthetics to the Karl Lagerfeld-themed Met Gala earlier this year.

Elsewhere in the interview, the “Say So” hitmaker revealed that she would like to branch out into other industries, including fashion and beauty.

“There are other kinds of projects I want to branch out into. I want to make clothing, dabble in makeup. I want to explore acting,” she stated.

Rapper Ugly God was arrested in connection with the fatal shooting of a 50-year-old man in Gulfport, Mississippi in June. According to WLOX, police responded to 911 calls of a shooting just before noon local time on June 29. When officers, they discovered Renaldo Delavallade dead from multiple gunshot wounds. Police Chief Adam Cooper later revealed they had a suspect in custody.

Ugly God has been relatively quiet since then—until Friday (August 18) when he resurfaced on Twitter, posting several photos of himself brandishing stacks of cash in his kitchen. In one of the photos, he’s holding a handgun in one hand and stacks of cash in the other. He wrote in the caption, “a lot can happen in a year. #dontbelievethehype.”

While Ugly God didn’t include any further details, many concluded he was referencing the deadly incident. Delavallade, who was purportedly Ugly God’s father’s best friend, was 50 years old at the time of his death. His sister, Tishia Delavallde, has essentially launched a smear campaign against Ugly God, posting several videos on social media accusing the rapper of murdering her brother.

She claims Ugly God wasn’t prosecuted for the crime after he argued he retaliated against the man in self-defense. In response to Ugly God’s latest tweet, the sister called Ugly God names and suggested the cash bundles in the photos were nothing more than props.

“YALL WE HAVE A #1 STUNNA!!!” she wrote. “Yall please give him a round of applause, lil PISSY UGLY GOD for flashing the most amount of fake money!!!”

Post Malone has revealed the change he made to his diet to help him lose weight.

During an appearance on “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast, the Circles rapper shared that he weighed approximately 240 pounds before switching up his diet.

The 28-year-old then revealed that after minimizing his soda intake, he reduced his weight to 185 pounds.

“Soda is so bad. It’s so good, but so bad,” Post told the podcast host. “(If) I had a great show, and you know what, I’m feeling a little bit naughty. I’m gonna have myself a Coke on ice.”

In a July interview with Zane Lowe for Apple Music, the rapper shared that becoming a father motivated him to change his lifestyle.

“I guess having a baby really put a lot into perspective and it’s really slowed me down a lot, party-wise, going out and being crazy. But it’s the most beautiful thing,” he told Zane at the time. “I just want to take some time now. And actually you mentioned all the accoutrement of success and everything that comes with that. Now I just want to take a second and enjoy it.”

Post, real name Austin Post, and his fiancée welcomed their first child, a daughter, last year.

Lil Nas X To Debut “Groundbreaking” Documentary At Major Film Festival

Lil Nas X has booked a trip to Canada for the premiere of his new documentary Long Live Montero. The pop star’s film will debut at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival, which runs from September 7-17.

The upcoming film offers a behind-the-scenes look at the rapper/singer on his first global tour. Carlos López Estrada, one of the filmmakers behind Disney’s Raya and the Last Dragon, directed the documentary with Zac Manuel.

“Long Live Montero is a triumphant ode to the extraordinary power of self-expression, music, and identity,” TIFF CEO Cameron Bailey said. “In this groundbreaking documentary, we witness Lil Nas X challenging boundaries and reshaping the artistic landscape. The film’s captivating journey underscores the profound impact of Lil Nas X, who fearlessly brings audiences together through the universal language of music. We are thrilled to host [him] at TIFF this year.”

The booking provides a boost to the festival, which will likely lack star power due to the SAG-AFTRA strike. Top actors would normally attend TIFF, but they won’t be promoting their films at any festivals while on strike.

Lil Nas X embarked on his global tour in support of his Montero album, which dropped in 2021. The project peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart.

Will Smith Tells How Steven Spielberg Got Him To Star In “Men In Black”

Will Smith is one of Hollywood’s biggest and most bankable stars (even with the Oscar’s debacle), but that wasn’t always the case.

The rapper-turned-actor met with Kevin Hart, and the two Philly natives talked about how he got one of the biggest gigs of his life, the lead in Steven Spielberg’s Men In Black franchise.

“I kind of understood ‘Men in Black’ a little bit, but I didn’t want to make ‘Men in Black.’ That was the next year after ‘Independence Day.’ So, I didn’t want to make two alien movies back-to-back,” Smith said.

Hart asked what changed the West Philly hometown hero’s mind.

“Steven Spielberg sent a helicopter for me,” he said. Smith said he was gagged. “It landed at his house, and he had me at hello,” he recalled.

If he had continued, he would’ve said, “Joker, you know, I made ‘Jaws’ or, you know, I. made ‘E.T.’”

Smith was very aware of that. He said when he walked into his house, he saw the Jaws and the Jurassic Park posters on the wall. The rest is history.

Logic evidently has no shame. Last week, a July performance from the former Def Jam Recordings artist started making the rounds online. In the clip, he rips off his shirt, revealing his “less-than-fit” upper body. He also seems to mimic a signature move from Ice Spice as he bends over and gyrates his hips.

While the emboldened act was intended to go along with the song he was performing, the aptly titled “DadBod,” social media was ruthless in its reception. Fans are now calling for Logic to be “canceled” immediately. Not long after the video was shared on Instagram and Twitter, comments like “cancel this man expeditiously” and “on behalf of the whites, you guys can keep this guy he’s not one of us” began littering the posts.

Some fans found the oddest part of the video to be the moment Logic sticks his finger in his belly button then sniffs it. As one person asked, “Did I just watch him finger swipe his g####?” while another demanded, “Man delete this s###.”

Logic has been the target of online ridicule for years. More recently, he was dragged from here to his hometown of Gaithersburg, Maryland for his cover of Ice Cube’s “It Was A Good Day.” For more than two minutes, he sings the G-Funk classic like he’s performing at a pretentious jazz lounge for hipsters. He ends the clip with a smile and the words, “That’s pretty authentic.” While one person attempted to defend Logic, others quickly came for his Hip-Hop card.

“Logic is half white, half black,” one person wrote. “There should have been some sort of internal conversation between both of those halves where one side explained how wrong this is to the other. It’s like watching someone club a baby seal. Just wrong.”

Ice Cube’s own son, O’Shea Jackson, weighed in after someone said the “Kim” line was cringy. He replied, “Bruh it made you cringe and that’s not yo moms. Lmfaooooo.” [Jackson’s mother is Kimberly Woodruff, Ice Cube’s wife.] But, there were more people concerned about his use of the “N” word. Although Logic has always claimed to be bi-racial, most agree he doesn’t get a pass.

Jack Harlow will be going on tour in his home state of Kentucky.

The 25-year-old musician took to Instagram to announce his upcoming tour, No Place Like Home: The Kentucky Tour, which will kick off in November.

“The only tour I’m going on this year. Six shows across the state of Kentucky. No Place Like Home 2023,” the “First Class” hitmaker wrote on Instagram alongside a graphic of him next to a map of Kentucky featuring the tour stops.

The trek will hit six cities within the state and commence on November 24 at Owensboro Sports Center in Owensboro. The rapper will then hit Pikeville, Covington, Murray and Bowling Green.

The tour will come to an end on December 3 in Lexington at the Rupp Arena. The trek comes three months after Jack was honored with a Hometown Heroes banner in Louisville.

In May, he launched The Jack Harlow Foundation, which will “serve as the Louisville, KY native’s primary philanthropic vehicle to reinvest, uplift and support organizations aiming to make the city that raised him a better place,” according to a statement.

The artist released his third studio album, Jackman., earlier this year.
