Baby Keem’s Album: Certified Gold For Baby Keem’s Album “THE MELODIC BLUE”

Baby Keem’s debut album ‘The Melodic Blue’ has been certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

On Wednesday (April 13), Keem was presented with a plaque indicating that the project had sold over 500,000 certified units. Given how influential the album was when it was released, the achievement should come as no surprise to Keem fans.

Artists Who Featured On The Album.

Kendrick Lamar made two guest appearances on “Range Brothers” and “Family Ties,” as well as the songs “Durag Activity” with Travis Scott and “Cocoa” with Don Toliver, which all helped to elevate the album. On the day of its release, September 10, the album received 70.1 million on-demand streaming, placing it second behind Drake’s chart-topping monster Certified Lover Boy. With an estimated 53,000 total album-equivalent units sold, The Melodic Blue eventually reached No. 5 on the Billboard 200 list.

“I don’t think music has anything out right now, like this project,” Keem told Billboard last September. Adding to that, he said, “I took my time carefully recording every vocals. I was going through a lot during that process, just becoming a man.”

He continued, “I just want to make sure I’m always giving people something new — maybe not what they want to hear, but what they need to hear. If it was up to some people, I’d just make a bunch of ‘Orange Soda’s and call it a day.”

The 21-year-old is presently on the road with his Melodic Blue Tour, which will conclude on the Coachella stage on April 15.

Cardi B is Back on Instagram to Promote Kay Flock’s Remix of “SHAKE IT.”

Cardi B was not pleased when fans ridiculed her for skipping the 2022 Grammy Awards in Las Vegas, Nevada. She then reacted by removing all of her social media accounts; however, the Bardi Gang’s leader has since returned to Instagram.

Cardi B shared a series of photos on Instagram on Thursday (April 14) that showed her striking a variety of poses from various perspectives. She was on a mission to put on a show for her followers, who hadn’t seen her in two weeks. She also talked about her future appearance on Kay Flock’s “Shake It” remix, which also includes Dougie B.

Cardi added in her caption, “Takin you to The Bronx with my Amiris on….SHAKE IT OUT TONIGHT AT MIDNIGHT MUSIC VIDEO ASWELL!!!! @officialkayflocka @dougieb”

 

Cardi B Made A Stunning Appearance on ‘Shake It’ Remix And It Has Been A Hot Topic For Her Fans

For fans in New York, the “Up” rapper’s inclusion on the remix to “Shake It” has been a hot issue, as Kay Flock will be getting his greatest co-sign of his short career. Many people assumed Cardi was trying to join the gangsta craze, but her detractors are unaware that she is no stranger to the streets.

To respond to the hate she was receiving following her appearance on “Shake It,” the Grammy Award winner took to Instagram before deactivating her accounts. Cardi claims that the song has been in the works for months, and that many have forgotten about her Gangsta Bitch Music days, when she regularly released street-inspired videos.

On April 13, however, Muaddi uploaded a photo of Rihanna wearing one of her famous pink heels.

A$AP Rocky, on the other hand, follows Muaddi, who follows him back.

Meanwhile, Rihanna’s admirers are refusing to believe the claim, pointing out that she tagged Rocky in a post on Instagram two days ago. Rocky appears to follow Rihanna on Instagram, but she does not appear to follow him.

50 Cent Is Trying to Buy Starz's 'Power' Universe

50 Cent Is Trying to Buy Starz’s ‘Power’ Universe.

50 Cent is about to leave the Starz network permanently. Since the premiere of Power in 2014, the executive producer has worked with Starz. Since then, he’s worked on Power Book II: Ghost, Power Book III: Raising Kanan, Power Book IV: Force, and BMF, among other projects. Despite the fact that 50 Cent’s series are the most popular on the network, his relationship with Starz has remained tense. 

For years, 50 Cent has been dissatisfied with Starz.

50 Cent has publicly voiced his dissatisfaction with Starz since joining the network in 2014 for the premiere of Power. When Starz wanted to schedule the series on Saturday, he admitted that he had to fight for it to show on Sunday. He’s agitated by leaked episodes, production schedules, and a slew of other issues.

He recently publicly criticized Starz CEO Jeffrey Hirsch, claiming that after the premiere of the Force Season 1 finale, none of the Power programs will air on the network for the next six months. Now he wants to make a big change.

50 Cent is attempting to acquire Starz’s ‘Power’ Universe.

It appears like 50 Cent is pondering his next move with his television business. On April 12, he posted a video of a UFC fight to Twitter. “Everybody ready to work, I’m trying to buy my universe back from STARZ so it goes where ever I go,” he stated. “Only 5 months left in my deal, and I’m not on the air for 6 months so We Out!”

Still, it’s improbable that Starz will sell its most successful series to 50 Cent. After all, the shows are the most popular not only on the network, but also on cable.

Pusha T Reacts To Kanye West’s Remarks That He Regrets Signing Big Sean.

Pusha T’s anticipation for next album “It’s Almost Dry” is building as the release date approaches. The Rap God has been making the rounds in the press, hopping from one interview to the next, and he just spoke with Ebro in the Morning. 

He brought up the album and his earlier spat with Drake, which he claims is over but doesn’t feel the need to rehash with the OVO mogul face to face.

During the discussion, Pusha also discussed Kanye West’s contentious appearance on Drink Champs. West dubbed John Legend and Big Sean “sellouts” and said signing the latter to G.O.O.D. Music was the “worst thing I’ve ever done” among the many takeaways from the talk.

How Pusha T Reacts To A Question

“Nah, t be a lot of underhanded stuff that goes on [behind the scenes],” he replied. West is known for being unfiltered when it comes to revealing his truth, and Pusha T has not only learnt but accepted this.

“I feel like, Ye gon’ say what he gon’ say. He gon’ speak what he gon’ speak,” the rapper added. “That type of stuff doesn’t bother me. I think, if you feel like that, and if you feel like you were slighted in any way, shape, or form, then you speak on it. I didn’t have a problem with that, necessarily.”

Archie Eversole, The ‘We Ready’ Rapper, Has Been Reported Dead At The Age Of 37

 

Archie Eversole, best known for the 2002 hit “We Ready” with Bubba Sparxx, has died, according to reports. Eversole’s family confirmed his death on Wednesday (April 13), according to Atlanta radio station Hot 107.9FM, though no cause of death has been provided.

When Eversole released his debut album, Ride Wit Me Dirty South Style, he was only 17 years old. Because of “We Ready,” a popular song during sporting events, the album was eventually certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Steam’s 1969 smash “Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye” was widely sampled in the song.

Fans Pay Tributes To Archie Eversole

Archie Eversole was chosen by Atlanta United of Major League Soccer to write the single “United We Conquer” in 2018, further cementing his status in the sports world.

“The man who gave us ‘We Ready, the greatest Game Day anthem ever, has passed away at 37 years old. Rest In Peace Archie Eversole. Prayers up to his family and loved ones.” Former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III wrote on Twitter.

“This song, “We Ready”, helped me push through my re-injured ACL back in high school in 02. I still use this song when I work out, or right before I get out the car at the gym. A classic banger that will never fail to get people pumped, myself included.” Eversole was acknowledged by another fan with assisting him in regaining his footing.

DaBaby has a home in North Carolina. The new about the house began spreading, claiming that a shooting incident occurred on Wednesday evening (April 13), at 7:45 p.m.

The Troutman Police Department in North Carolina released a statement, but did not name DaBaby.

“Due to the ongoing nature of this investigation, no information as to the names of those involved or the circumstances can be released at this time,” it added. “This is an isolated incident and there is no threat to the community at large.”

While the Troutman Police Department refused to name identities, Iredell Firewire360, a local news organization, claimed to have more information.

An alleged trespasser on DaBaby’s house is being treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

Pusha T Announces A New Grill Worth More Than Six Figures.

 

Pusha T buys a new grill which cost him a pretty penny. The rapper marked the occasion with the new buy as he prepares to release his follow-up to Daytona, “It’s Almost Dry”.

Pusha flaunted the new gems on Instagram, praising his longtime associate Gabby Elan, who designed them.

“@gabbyelanjewelry been doing this for me since 99…It’s the staggered big stones, paves, crowns and skip tooth like Jamaican Peter…the inspo…you had to be there. All love to those who lived thru the those times. #ITSALMOSTDRY,” he posted on Instagram.

Elan Vs Pusha T

Elan later spoke with Complex and explained the new ice’s composition. With 405 total stones and VVS+ hearts and arrow cut round diamonds, the grill is crafted in 14 carat white gold. Six VVS+ pear shape rose cut diamonds ranging from 0.80 carat to over 1 carat each make up the costly piece. While Elan did not reveal the amount, he did say the grill was valued roughly six figures.

Pharrell and Ye Praised Elan For His Creativity.

Elan is known for creating one-of-a-kind jewelry. In an interview with Complex, Pharrell, who is executive producing It’s Almost Dry alongside Kanye West, praised him.

“I was always thinking outside the box and he was always willing to try things,” the famed producer explained. “At first, I was just getting simple things like one gold tooth on each side. Then, I got a couple down bottom. Then I started mixing it up, arranging grills and just going crazy. But it was all because he allowed me to push him.”

Smokepurrp Believes Kanye West Owes Him $9M

Smokepurrp Believes Kanye West Owes Him $9M.

Smokepurrp believes a piece of Kanye pie belongs to him. Purrp claimed on Twitter on Wednesday (April 13) that Yeezy owed him $9 million, but he didn’t elaborate on why.

“And Kanye, n-gga, you owe me like $9 million, n-gga. Hit me line, n-gga, or my lawyer’s gonna hit your lawyer,” he stated.

Smokepurrp Didn’t Go Into Detail About What Was Causing The Problem.

Although Smokepurrp didn’t specify the source of the problem, it’s likely that it arises from his writing credit on Kanye West and Lil Pump’s smash hit “I Love It.” On No Jumper in 2019, the “Audi” rapper said that he wrote “I Love It” with Lil Pump on his 18th birthday.

“The ‘I Love It’ shit. I wrote that shit,” he said. “Basically it was on Pump’s birthday. Basically this nigga [Kanye West] just called Pump, blah, blah, blah. He wanted to make a song about this and I just wrote the song. And it randomly just came out. And he’s like, ‘Yo, the shit you wrote came out.’”

Purrp Claims Ye Owes Him a Large Sum

Smokepurrp is one of seven credited writers of the double-platinum single “I Love It,” which reached No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100. He evidently believes he is owed a large sum of money for his services to the album.

Kanye West and Purrp have a long history together. Smokepurrp explained how he was forced to erase a Yeezy verse off “No Problem” because Kanye didn’t like him cursing on the explicit track.
