Trapper Of The Year
DJ Khaled Slices Into 24K Gold Steak
updated
Over a more somber and harrowing beat, Laflame slows the tempo on this one and raps “Baby girl think she in Honolu' (Wonderful)/ Don’t you know you in the I-5 loop?/ How many chickens fit in the coop? (How wonderful, wonderful)/ Wonderful, she don't wanna leave/ She jump up, bounce back like trampoline.” Griselda then comes in with his gritty bars and spits “ayo, whip the cocaine to the pop ups/ You was on the porch, I was locked up (I was locked up, ah)/ Two-tone Maybach truck with the Maxwells/ Think a nigga shot somethin’,” he spits.
It’s unclear at the moment what the song is called, but Genius has it listed as “How Wonderful” featuring Westside Gunn AND James Blake, who we’ve yet to hear on it.
In addition to the Griselda feature, LaFlame also teased another record, a more uptempo rager that will presumably see life on his forthcoming Utopia album.
Posting a video of himself working out with a trainer, Blueface said that he'll be making his in-ring debut on July 23.
"July 23rd my first professional fight," wrote the rapper before stating that he's going to win regardless of who his opponent will be. "He’s going to bed it don’t even matter who it is it’s a extra 25k knock out bonus ona line."
Clearly, Blueface will be aiming at his opponent's head in an effort to claim the $25,000 knockout bonus. DDG is seemingly rooting for his "Moonwalkin in Calabasas" collaborator, writing in the comments, "BlueFloyd MayBleedEm."
"Long Live @xxxtentacion," he captioned the photo. He added: "#FreeMelly."
XXXTentacion was fatally shot at a motorcycle dealership in Florida back in 2018 at just 20 years of age. The shooters stole a Louis Vuitton bag containing $50k from him and fled the scene. Four suspects have been arrested and are awaiting trial.
"Come alive Jahseh because I need an angel. I know you didn't know you can die like this," Black raps on his new tribute song. The track was released on the three-year anniversary of X's death.
Melly was arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder back in 2019. He currently faces life imprisonment or the death penalty if convicted and is awaiting trial.
Melly's mother Jamie King, reflected on her son's incarceration, two years after his arrest, earlier this year.
"Today makes 2 years that you been locked up... Free my heart in human form," King captioned a heartfelt post on Instagram.
However, it may have taken some time, but Lanez and DaBaby dropped the song with an accompanying music video, and now Lanez is publicly petitioning for Nicki Minaj to hop on the remix.
A Twitter user suggested Minaj for the updated version of the track and Lanez agreed. "IF THE QUEEN GET ON SKAT REMIX .... ITS GONE ! I mean the song is already gone ... but THAT SH*T AT THE MOON AFTER THAT," he tweeted. "She would def kill the beat too !!! I was happy to see that she liked the video !!! SHES A REALER N*GGA than most THE N*GGAS in our industry."
This week, internet sleuths did a little digging and found that after the "SKAT" video was released, Megan stopped following DaBaby on Instagram. Some believe it's because of the collaboration, but that hasn't been confirmed. Check out Lanez's tweet
RZA, who headlined his own episode of Verzuz against DJ Premier last year, also appeared during the show. Cappadonna and Masta Killa both came on to perform verses from “Ice Cream,” and “Glaciers of Ice" respectively. Inspectah Deck also came on to perform Wu-Tang Clan’s classic hit “C.R.E.A.M.”
“This is something we’re doing for culture,” RZA told Complex before his appearance with Premier, in April 2020. “People could take it as a fight, a battle, whatever they want, but it’s more about us celebrating the culture of hip-hop. I’m a big fan of DJ Premier.”

"Look Pump. Hey, what's up Lil Pump? I'm mad at you lil' bruh," Kodak said during an Instagram Live session. "Don't be doing all that fingernail polish bullsh*t, man. Leave that for Lil Yachty, man. I'm sayin'? Don't do that sh*t Lil Pump. See, when Lil Yachty do that sh*t, he be like for fun though, when you do that sh*t Lil Pump, it's like you serious. Stop that sh*t Lil Pump. I'mma block you. I'mma block you over that sh*t."
He added that he was allowed to deliver the message to Pump the way he did because the rapper is like Kodak's "lil' bro." Check out the clip and a look at Lil Pump's acrylics
According to TMZ, the New York rapper and his crew were shot at while visiting a local Walmart. Five men reportedly approached their vehicle in the parking lot with guns demanding they hand over their belongings. After firing a shot at Benny's leg, the robbers fled the scene. From there, he was taken to the hospital.
An investigation into the armed robbery is reportedly underway. At this time, no suspects have been identified.
“‘Blueface, come to the set,’ they said,” he says in the first clip. “‘It will be fun,’ they said. Now I’m sitting in some random person’s front yard tryna get home. This is why I stay my ass at home, on Crip. I’m running from a helicopter right now, dead homies. Y’all hear, cuz. I’ma make it home, though. I just wanna go home, cuz. I’m still runnin’. Police right there, on Crip. All we gotta do is get past that street.”
Although the 23-year-old rapper doesn’t explain why he initially fled on foot, he does ultimately escape without any run-ins with the law.
After DJ Envy said he's more of an "ask twice" and then never ask again type of person, 2 Chainz admitted he's more of a "twice" person, as well. "Not even saying that towards Hov, it's just like...I've said it a couple times, even on my bucket list, I said something recently. Being on the Rolling Stone, Obama, Hov... If it happens, it'll be a blessing, if it don't happen, it just be something that don't happen."
"Rappers can’t dive or swim. I just haven’t been caught yet. LOL," Fif wrote in the caption. Snoop Dogg got a kick out of the post because he left a comment of three crying laughing emojis.
A video has started going viral from pop smokes Brother Obasi Jackson, showing the original verse from "Dior," which is arguably Pop's most popular song.
American Sole, which chronicles the rise of the billion-dollar sneaker re-selling industry, offest to star as a savvy computer engineer.
“We got Tribe Called Quest and Outkast, pending,” he says with a menacing grin. “I wasn’t even supposed to say that. I might have just fucked that all up. Q-Tip is my brother but that man…whoo! André 3000 my brother but that man…whoo! But you know, we love them and we got patience, and whenever they ready, we ready.”
Swizz added he and Timbo plan to continue Verzuz with or without the COVID-19 crisis, explaining, “Verzuz is not just something for the pandemic, it’s something for the culture, permanently and that’s what I want people to understand. We got so many lined up, we ain’t even start yet.”
The interviewer asked him about his relationships, wondering how old his limit is when it comes to the ladies. Apparently, Choppa doesn't have much of a care, responding that, when he was just 16-years-old, he was dating a 46-year-old woman.
He realizes that the 30-year age gap is pretty extreme, but he doesn't seem regretful of it.
"She was bad, though!" exclaimed NLE Choppa. "I could have been her son's son! I don't wanna show you no pictures but if I was to show you a picture, you'd think she was 22. No surgery, no nothing. Just natural Black beauty. Black don't crack."
In fact, this recent snippet seems to be one of his most pop-friendly sounds thus far, perhaps signaling a possible direction for his next project. Between the autotune soaked vocals and the abundance of spacey reverb, Future's lyrics are all but impossible to make out. The vibe, however, is reminiscent of early The Weeknd in a way, with Future's main melody occupying the bulk of the largely minimalistic space. It's unclear if the track will open up as it progresses, or if it will remain a stripped-down and largely sung cut in the vein of "Love Thy Enemies."
Either way, it seems to indicate where Future's creative headspace currently sits, a conclusion that will likely spark different responses depending on stylistic preference. Though it's unlikely we'll see another new album before 2020 wraps up, don't be surprised to see him come out swinging with another early winter release in 2021.
DaBaby and his manager Arnold Taylor sat down at REVOLT Summit this past weekend they went deep on their history, their approach to the industry, and what the rapper has in store next. Though he's only two years in the game, if not less, DaBaby's learned lessons through trial and tribulation and is passing those gems on to the next generation.
"I know, at the point Toosii is now, I even chime in with him on and off on my own. On my own time just to remind him like, 'Aye, stay right there in that mode that you in' or go even crazier 'cause I know who he's dealin' with," DaBaby said. "He's the hottest new artist in the world, you know what I mean, right now... Definitely the hottest new emerging artist fasho."
Toosii is also a North Carolina native signed to South Coast Music Group, the same label that signed DaBaby, making them labelmates. The Poetic Pain rapper previously revealed that DaBaby has offered him mentorship and guidance in the past.
"The night before I dropped my album, [DaBaby] sat in the hotel parking lot and listened to my whole album," he said in a February interview. "Every time he see me, he be like, 'Yo, keep like...' You dig what I'm sayin'?" Though Toosii insists that he has to stand alone, DaBaby is sitting in his corner rooting him on.
Pope shared the Outkast legend’s appearance on the single while livestreaming multiple unreleased cuts from Yeezy’s vault. The final version of “Cops Shot The Kid” without 3 Stacks was released on 2018’s NASIR album, which was part of Kanye’s “Wyoming Sessions” projects.
Although fans weren’t able to enjoy the André 3000 and Nas collaboration on the NASIR LP, the respected MCs have worked together before. The two previously teamed up on R&B singer Lloyd’s “I Want You (Remix)” in 2007.
An André 3000 guest appearance getting shelved is unfortunate though since he rarely drops any music these days. Outside of occasional features, the respected artist hasn’t dropped a full-length project since Outkast’s Idlewild LP in 2006.
Nas, on the other hand, remains quite active. Just a few months ago, he released his King’s Disease album, which debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200.
Now, a brand new Kodak Black song is being previewed on social media, and it just so happens to feature the likes of Tory Lanez. The Canadian singer is currently in the midst of a court case surrounding the alleged shooting of Megan Thee Stallion, and recently dropped his own project called Daystar. In the snippet below, Tory can be heard using a fast flow before Kodak enters into the song with his signature Florida cadence.
It's unknown as to whether or not this song will be featured on Bill Is Real, although it's clear that new music involving Kodak Black is going to be released in the not-so-distant future. To add more legitimacy to the song, Tory Lanez himself liked the Instagram post featuring the snippet which indicates that this was indeed meant to be a teaser for fans to hear.
T.I. has continuously denied battling Busta Rhymes, suggesting that there is a generational gap between the two rappers. In his place, T.I. suggested Busta Rhymes battles LL Cool J instead: "I spoke to Busta," said T.I. "I gave him LL [Cool J]'s number. I told him, that's the tree you want to bark up. You might want to get back in the generation of yours that you want to represent for. Busta is an incredible talent. An undeniable legend. Ain't no quarrels or ain't no criticism. There's no dispute here. Just as I know with great certainty that he belongs in the generation that he represents."
"If you play a record that came out in '87, what I'm gone do? Play a record that came out in '93? What am I gone do," asked Tip. "I don't know, it just doesn't feel even keel. You know, Busta and LL... Busta and Twista... I think all of those are excellent match-ups. I know he wouldn't be avoiding them to come into the 2000 generation just to avoid a true match-up from someone in his generation."
T.I. is scheduled to battle Jeezy during the series' upcoming second season. "#VERZUZ is back with Season 2!! T.I. vs Jeezy. Let the celebrations begin," the series' Instagram, page posted, Saturday.
The matchup is scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 19, at 8:00 PM ET and will air on Instagram and Apple Music.
Celebrating his 34th birthday, Drake posted a teaser video for the album which shows him recreate several of his most iconic album covers, including Take Care, Nothing Was The Same, and Dark Lane Demo Tapes.
While the album has been rumored for several months, the Toronto rapper dropped his first single for the project, “Laugh Now Cry Later" featuring Lil Durk, in August.
Hype for an announcement began to pick up steam earlier this week when a fan on social media spotted a truck with Drake's Certified Lover Boy on it on a highway in Ontario headed toward Toronto.
“He’s gon’ pull the trigger when he wants to pull it,” Drake's longtime producer Noah “40” Shebib recently said. “Whether or not he thinks he’s ready or not, he’s always ready. If he had to drop the album tomorrow, he drops it tomorrow.”
A new album announcement isn't the only thing Drake is celebrating on his birthday. Earlier this week his single "God's Plan" was named the most-streamed song in Apple Music US history.
While their previously heated feud has been relatively dormant of late, an incident involving both Young Buck and his girlfriend was enough to lure Fif out of hiding. Yesterday, it was reported that Buck's girlfriend was arrested and booked for reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon after firing a gun during an argument with the rapper. And while Buck appears to have emerged from the scuffle unscathed, 50 Cent appears determined to leave at a singular bruise on his ego.
"Better stop playing with them boys on Ig Buck," writes 50, implying the root of the issue on Twitter. "She want YOUR pass word. LOL." To further emphasize the taunt, he made sure to add a loose visual reenaction of his interpretation. It's clear that the rapper has no intention of easing up on his former group-mate, and at this rate, don't be surprised to see the pair engaging in another spirited war of words. Who knows -- perhaps the disrespect will spur Buck to drop off another "Story Of Foofy," a refreshing transition from social media to the booth. And given the history between these two artists, perhaps on wax is where this feud belongs.
This week, the rap legend tried to take on T.I. but the King of the South "respectfully declined" his offer, citing their generational gap. Instead, people are begging Tip to take on a battle with Jeezy.
As for who Busta Buss is battling, that's still up in the air. After hearing Tip's refusal, he had some words for the rapper, taunting him with a 4-minute video on Instagram.
"Ayo Tip, you're my brother and I love you very much, King," says Busta Rhymes before praising his new album. Those were the only kind words he had, though. "It's okay to let people know that you backed down from this Verzuz offer," he adds. "Come on now, let's be honest. It's okay, Tip. You respectfully declined, I guess that's the fancy way to say that you turned down this Verzuz battle. You wanna talk about generational gap? That's a very... respectful way of not saying that you don't really want to sit in the smoking section with me and that you actually just turned down the opportunity to do this Verzuz battle with me. It's cool, Tip. You can say it, King."
Busta continued picking on T.I., egging him on to admit that he wasn't down to do battle.
"You should just say it, man," continued Buss. "Just let the world know truly that you don't want this bust ass that you was about to get. It's okay. Cause, see, the difference between me and you, my brother, and we're both kings, I'm actually a god. I don't run from no situation and age don't make no difference to me. You know what makes the difference? The work you put in."
Finally, Busta leaves Tip with a final word, imploring him to admit that he wasn't ready for their proposed battle.
"Let's not make no excuses, King. Tell the people. You was really not ready to get this ass-whooping on a world stage. That's the truth," finishes Busta.
He concludes by proposing something historic to Timbaland and Swizz Beatz, saying that he doesn't mind going up against two artists at the same time. That would be the first time three artists battle each other on Verzuz.
Who do you want to see Busta Rhymes battle on Verzuz? And who do you think would have won between him and T.I.?
First, the Atlanta rapper announced to the world that he would be releasing his new mixtape Michigan Boy Boat, a possible collaborative effort with Sada Baby, before the end of the year.
Today, Lil Boat re-upped with another major announcement, revealing his return to the stage with a virtual experience next month.
"Tickets are on sale now kiddies, link in bio see you guys there for the fun," wrote Lil Yachty on Instagram, sharing an outrageous video to promote the event.
It's being marketed as a "housewarming party" and, in the promotional clip, several different versions of Lil Yachty make appearances in his playhouse, teasing a children's show type of vibe.
More information is given on the official website for the party, explaining: "2020 has made it nearly impossible to perform, so I'm doing the next best thing and making the dopest livestream of all time. I'll be performing my favorite songs, bringing special guests, and dropping exclusive merch. This sh*t's LIVE, so I can't wait to interact and make y'all part of the show."
It's all going down on November 12. It will take place in Yachty's dreamland, making this a must-watch for any fan of the rapper.
The rapper celebrated his birthday last night and three guests made sure he was dripping hard around his neck. The party was 70s-themed and, after all, what's a pimp without some diamonds? Metro Boomin got him a special Boominati chain to celebrate the success of their new album Savage Mode II and G Herbo ended up cashing out on a diamond dagger pendant to match the knife on his forehead.
He tried on the chain, pairing with two others that were gifted to him on the same night.
"This is just today," he said, showing off his ice. "My birthday tomorrow though."
After opening the jewelry box, it doesn't look like 21 thanks Herbo, simply accepting the gift and remaining silent but they were in a loud nightclub, so maybe the camera just didn't catch their exchange.
As he continues to plot his next moves, which seemingly include a sequel to the highly-regarded The Recession album, Jeezy is starting to preview his next music video, which will come at the end of this week.
Sharing a trailer on social media, Jeezy is teasing the new music video for "Back", which shows him and Yo Gotti as business partners, attempting to get a loan. The trailer, which is Rated-R, looks as though it could be hyping up an actual movie, and not just a short film from Jeezy and Gotti.
"BACK 10/23 Available on All Platforms," wrote Jeezy as the caption, adding his snowman emoji and finally giving people a date for the wider release of the song.
The video looks to be highly cinematic and, from the looks of it, it will be a can't-miss premiere.
Fans are hoping that an album announcement accompanies the video release. We'll need to tune in and see if that's the case.
In a video he shared to Instagram, Jeezy made it clear that all he needs is a date and time. "Say bruh. You done been around the whole world on your campaign. Now you back here," said Jeezy. "I don't know what you avoiding me for. I'll tell you what though, since it mean that much to you, put a date on it. I ain't gon' meet you there, I'm gon' beat you there. Straight up. Big Snow."
T.I. jumped in Jeezy's comments. "Hmmm could this long time constituent of mine be referring to me??? @jeezy," he wrote. Swizz Beatz was watching the exchange and left a series of eyeball emojis, so this may be something that will actually go down on Verzuz. Do you think this is a fair match up?
"You think I enjoy this?! You don't think that I want to be just drinking all this Ace Of Spades and D'Usse. This is abuse," he jokingly declared in an IG video showing off the many bottles. "Jay-Z's bullying me! This is the best form of bullying I've ever been bullied," he continued with a laugh. "Okay, fine! I'll drink all this shit!" He sarcastically continued.
If you didn't know, N.O.R.E is a huge fan of champagne. Jay's Ace of Spades, specifically. Last month, the rapper took to the 'Gram where he declared that he drinks more Ace of Spades that Jay-Z himself which doesn't actually seem too far fetched, if you think about it.
"To be honest, I just might send Jay-Z this video' cause I think I drink more Ace Of Spades than Hov' do," he said before doubling down on the claim. It doesn't seem like it wouldn't be the case but perhaps, one day, Jay will sit down on the Drink Champs and clarify that for himself.
"I'm so tired of people saying I've got to continuously explain myself. I didn't put my divorce out there, a f*cking court clerk put it out there," she said during an Instagram Live session, according to E! News. "And because people are making rumors up, 'Oh, this guy has a girl pregnant,' I have to address it." Cardi seemed to be addressing the non-stop online speculation about her on-again-off-again relationship with Offset, who she claimed is being harassed by her fans.
"Then you guys want to be harassing this n*gga Bro, if I work things out, why are you going to this n*gga's Twitter to harass him? That don't make no f*cking sense,” she continued.
Cardi announced, earlier this week, that she got back with Offset. The rapper had previously filed divorced last month.
"A whole bunch of 15-year-olds telling me how to live my life like I'm mother f--king Ariana Grande or something,” Cardi added. “Like I came from Disney or something.
“Y'all want to call yourself fans, I don't give a f*ck. I'm tired of it," she said. "I do whatever the f*ck I want to do. I love my fans and I'm grateful and thankful for what you do but some of y'all really be acting like I be sleeping with y'all."
"Lexington, Kentucky!! Dec 11th 2020!! The 1st indoor arena concert in the country since the pandemic!!," the group announced on Instagram. "Approved by the Governor! THREE 6 MAFIA PERFORMING LIVE @rupp_arena limited tickets avail in pods of 4 people or less!! @ticketmaster on sale NOW!!" The caption was posted in addition to a video from Juicy J.
The venue will be allowed to hold 3,152 guests, 15 percent of its maximum capacity. Tickets will be sold in groups of four, which will allow for grouping of the audience to help follow social distancing guidelines. Fans will also be required to undergo temperature checks upon arrival. The show will feature Sean Da Don and Project Pat.
Three 6 Mafia recently held an outdoor concert at Newcastle Racecourse in the U.K. in August. While outdoors, the event followed similarly strict social distancing guidelines to keep audiences safe during the coronavirus pandemic.
"Oftentimes, I get accused of being thirsty on Instagram. Why am I getting accused of being thirsty? Because I tend to like pictures that I like," said Slim Thug. "I comment when I feel like I need to. People tend to think I'm thirsty for this. I'll say I'm the realest dude on Instagram and all y'all fake." He then called out people who hold themselves back from "liking" social media pictures because they don't want to come across as being "thirsty."
"You gotta answer to your b*tch like a b*tch," Thug added. "I'm a boss. I don't answer to no b*tch. I don't give a f*ck, b*tch. If the b*tch fine, I'm liking the picture. If I think she fine, I'm gon' put heart eyes under. I don't bow down to no b*tch, ever. I'm gon' always be the man in the relationship and the b*tch is gon' bow down to me, period."
He went on to criticize men who "let the girls be the men now" and called them "soft ass n*ggas." Slim Thug added, "The b*tch can say whatever the f*ck she wanna say and get mad if she wanna get mad, and I don't give a f*ck! 'Cause I'm the man and I can do what the f*ck I wanna do."
"This the point I'm making to all the small-time cats," Lil Yachty said in a clip of his Instagram Live with another person. "It's a different ballgame. It's not the same arena, you feel me? It ain't the—look bro, and we don't do the whole, 'Oh, rent on the first.' We don't do the whole, 'I gotta pay on the first.' Rent, whatever the case may be. I ain't seen rent since...and this is my house! Like I own this house. And on the 28th, I actually bought a house next door."
The person was surprised and Yachty revealed that he decided to scoop up the property because "I didn't want no neighbors. I already got the contract." The rapper was enthused to show off the property, but he decided to wait for another time.
"If you used to rap and now if I call a Uber X and you pull up then stay out of rich folks business," Ari tweeted. She later clarified that there's absolutely no drama or beef between Herb and Moneybagg, despite what Joc suggested. "They spent more time together when Yosohn was getting dropped off at home then they did in that picture. Please mind yo business. God bless you and your bank account."
Joc then responded, trying to absolve himself of any wrongdoing by claiming that, though he shared it to his account, he didn't actually create the meme.
"Respectfully, I'mma say this. You know, the post that I made today -- I didn't create that post. That's been circulating. It's just when it came to my timeline and really stopped me 'cause it was like, damn. On one end, it really happens," he said before explaining why he used a picture of Fizz and Omarion. "I'm not aimin' to disrespect anyone in the imagery. It was just the imagery that caught my eye, you know what I'm sayin'? On one end, you know with Fizz and O. I mean, we know they have a personal friendship. On one end, that's like whoa but to each their own."
On Bagg and Herbo, he said, "I don't know how well they had a relationship but the depiction of the imagery, it was amazing how it made me assume the same type of situation that's goin' on on top of it. I didn't make the post, you know what I'm sayin'? I just saw it."
The rapper made it clear that he had no beef with Bagg or Herbo and specifically clarified that he meant no disrespect towards Ari.
The Compton rapper came onto the scene in a major way last year, proving all of his day one fans correctly by becoming one of the most buzz-worthy artists of the year. Despite not releasing a project in 2020, his late-2019 drop remains in rotation and was one of the best albums of the year. He has been described as one of rap's MVPs of this year and, from the sounds of things, he'll be taking over next year as well.
Landing in Atlanta, Roddy Ricch hopped out of the private jet and made a major declaration, claiming to be in "album mode" and getting us all riled up. Considering the fact that he's working on the album right now, we can possibly expect a release in 2021, perhaps when the world is a little more normal.
Roddy was recently featured on the "Lemonade" remix, which has been dominating the charts globally for the last few weeks.
"I am [stressed out]," wrote the rapper. "I miss MRS.WAP....call her for me but private."
Cardi tweeted last night that she's not speaking with Offset.
Cardi filed for divorce from the Migos rapper several weeks ago, telling fans that she was doing so to prevent another cheating scandal.
"The reason for my divorce is not because of none of that shit that ever happened before. It's not because of cheating," said Cardi B. "I just got tired of fucking arguing. I got tired of not seeing things eye to eye. When you feel like it's just not the same anymore, before you actually get cheated on, I'd rather just leave."
Despite her clearly wanting to start things fresh as a single lady, Offset appears to want a reconciliation, doing the most in his fight to get her back.
We just saw the billboard that he seemingly set up in West Hollywood, wishing her a happy birthday in advance and, as though we needed more confirmation that he's trying to get back with Cardi, he just told a fan that he's stressed out because he misses her.
Thus, it's not too surprising to hear that his first label advance after signing wasn't a lot of money. However, you would be surprised by the actual amount of money that he was given to use toward his first music drops.
Speaking with Fat Joe on his podcast, the Detroit rapper provided Joe with yet another "Joprah Moment", revealing that his first cash advance from Kanye West was only worth $15,000.
"[Kanye] just signed me because he heard me rap, I had nothing going so, yeah, my first advance was... bro, I don't even wanna say the number. It wasn't a lot at all," says Big Sean during their conversation.
Like a good interviewer, Joe pressed Sean to give him the exclusive information, which he reluctantly gave up.
"My first advance was $15,000 bro," revealed Sean.
"All I'mma say is, we got a nice catalog," Swae Lee said with a laugh. "We got some classics, I got some classics... The numbers don't lie." The host asked if Swae would be "down to do this" just in case the Verzuz head honchos were watching. "That would be good 'cause they got some hits," the rapper added. "We got some hits, they got some hits."
As usual, this brief moment during the interview has caused a discussion regarding if this is a fair match-up. We'll have to wait and see if Timbaland and Swizz answer the call.
In a chat that aired on Instagram Live, the Long Beach rapper initially said when he learns that a woman has dated or messed around with "four to five" rappers or ballplayers, he thinks she's just looking for a come up. He then specified that if it's just people who are verified on social media, that may be different, but if a woman admits that she's been with four or five rappers, "it's a wrap."
O.T. Genasis then revealed that the maximum he'll accept is the woman having dated two rappers in the past. "We slimey." He also added that the "coolest" women are usually those who "been through the most n*ggas."
Cardi shared that she was speaking with a consultant while discussing selling one of her properties and he told her about what was happening between Armenia and Azerbaijan. He asked her to share information about Armenia "for a good cause," so she went ahead and did him the favor. However, people from Azerbaijan began writing Cardi with accusations that she supported terrorism, so she wanted to make sure that she addressed the allegations while denying the criticism. She claimed that she didn't even know that there was a conflict going on.
The rapper recalled her times in both countries and stated that she hoped they would find a peaceful resolution. "My wish is, since I did a little bit of research today because you guys left me so much comments, my wish is that both the countries would just be at peace. You guys already have big pieces of land. There's no tiny land that is worth chaos, death, fighting, especially in this year," said Cardi. "I’m sorry that I offended anybody, that is not my style, I don't like that type of stuff ... we just really wish peace, and that's it."
