Quavo Lands A Starring Role In ‘Die Hard’ Writer’s Action-Thriller Movie

 

Quavo will star in an upcoming feature film about Atlanta’s street takeover automobile culture. The action thriller, scripted by Jeb Stuart (Die Hard, The Fugitive) and directed by Greg Jonkajty (Netflix’s The Liberator), will star the Migos rapper in the lead role.

Guy Miller is Quavo’s character’s name, and he’s characterized as  “a recent parolee who’s attempting to rehabilitate his life, when circumstances propel him back into Atlanta’s thriving and dangerous takeover scene. He must live up to his reputation as one of the slipperiest street operators in a lethal, head-long race against time.”

The film will combine live-action and animation to examine the infatuation with sideshows and stunts in vehicle culture. Which drivers use gimmicks to take over roadways and parking lots. Quality Films, a division of Quality Control Music, is producing the film alongside Trioscope.

On Wednesday (April 27), Quavo posted a statement in conjunction with the announcement. He expressed his excitement for the film set in his hometown.

“I’m really excited for this opportunity, especially shooting in my hometown of Atlanta,” he stated. “This film is an ideal opportunity to further delve into my craft, and I can’t wait to see how the action plays out in this animated environment.”

Pusha T Shuts Down A Possible Collaboration With Drake & Kanye West

Pusha T ruled out collaborating with Drake following their recent internet feud despite Kanye West’s reconciliation with the Toronto rapper.

Many people wondered how Pusha T felt about Ye and Drizzy reuniting and putting their differences aside for the Free Larry Hoover Benefit Concert. They also wondered if he would ever do the same. During a recent appearance on Shade45 as part of his It’s Almost Dry publicity tour, he addressed both questions.

“I thought that was good for them,” King Push said. I think they have this thing where, like, they sorta need to co-exist. Those two need to co-exist in their world and play within where they at.” 

Pusha T and Drake’s relationship deteriorated over time, and the two traded diss recordings. While King Push stated that he has no animosity toward the Toronto rapper, he also stated that he has no intention of working with him.

When asked if he’d ever collaborate with Drake and Ye on a single, Pusha T said, “Nah! No, I’m cool on all of that. I know the song I wanna make, I know the people I wanna work with, and it ain’t that. He continued, “I want Ye to produce it, but other than that, I definitely don’t wanna do a record.”

Drake Dropped From Chris Brown’s “No Guidance” Copyright Lawsuit

Drake is out of a copyright infringement case launched in October against Chris Brown for his song “No Guidance.” Songwriters Braindon Cooper and Timothy Valentine claim the song is a rip-off of their song “I Love Your Dress,” which they released in 2016.

Cooper and Valentine will pursue Brown and Sony Music Entertainment in their lawsuit. On Tuesday, the two dropped Drake’s name. It’s unclear if this was due to a settlement agreement or a lack of faith in their case against the Toronto rapper.

On June 8, 2019, the song “No Guidance” was out and reached No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100. Brown’s album Indigo featured the song.

Brown and Drake defended themselves by claiming that they had never heard “I Love Your Dress,” which they described as “obscure.”

Cooper and Valentine stated that because an artist is more famous than another does not exempt them from copyright laws.

“This argument – essentially that defendants are somehow immune from copyright infringement claims by individuals who are not as famous as they are – is both egotistical and without any legal basis whatsoever,” they both stated in February. “Undoubtedly, regardless of their fame and status, defendants may be, and should be, held accountable for their infringement.”

Travis Scott Will Perform In Front Of An Audience For The First Time Since The Astroworld Tragedy

 

Travis Scott is set to perform at the E11even nightclub in Miami next week during the Formula One Grand Prix. Scott will perform in front of an audience for the first time since the disaster at his Astroworld festival, which resulted in the deaths of various participants.

Scott has yet to give a public performance, but he did perform five songs for a private audience at a Coachella afterparty earlier this month.

Scott has been trying for weeks to recover from his disastrous performance at Astroworld. Future and Southside’s track “Hold That Heat” featured him on April 22. He’s also teased new songs with a series of billlboards across Los Angeles.

“PSST…,” “WRONG WAY!” and “Looking for UTOPIA?” displayed by Billboard.

Travis Scott Projects HEAL

Scott established Project HEAL in March, an initiative focused at making events safer and safeguarding youngsters.

“Giving back and creating opportunities for the youth is something I’ve always done and will continue to do as long as I have the chance,” he said at that time. “This program will be a catalyst to real change and I can’t wait to introduce the rest of the technology and ideas we’ve been working on. See you all so soon.” 

Scott’s E11even concert will take place on May 7.

DaBaby’s Lawyers Support His Self-Defense Claim In The Walmart Shooting Footage

DaBaby’s infamous 2018 Walmart shooting, which resulted in the death of a 19-year-old, is still making headlines. Rolling Stone released an investigation into the case, discovering unseen CCTV footage from Walmart. According to the story, the film refuted DaBaby’s claim of self-defense, but his lawyer said that it bolstered his case in court.

The rapper acted in self-defense, according to the authorities, which is why he was not charged with homicide. A judge in Mecklenburg County later watched the footage in connection with an allegation of not having the proper firearms permits.

“Witnesses were interviewed and corroborated Mr. Kirk’s statement,” DaBaby’s attorney said to TMZ. “The entirety of the surveillance video was viewed and determined to corroborate Mr. Kirk’s statement … Mr. Kirk was protecting himself and his family at the time of the shooting.”

After the victim and his friend trailed him at Walmart and displayed a weapon, DaBaby told authorities he was acting in self-defense.

On Monday morning, the rapper responded to the backlash on social media. “N***as done took 30 million from me, lie on me once a week, want my fine ass BM’s to hate me, want me to lose fights I don’t start, WHAT MORE DO U WANT FROM MEEE?”
