Kanye West Criticizes Adidas For Yeezy Day

When Kanye West is angry, he has a reputation for speaking his thoughts. When anything doesn’t go his way, whether it be in music or design, Kanye makes sure his voice is heard. Kanye has never been afraid to criticize the companies he has worked for, including Nike, since he takes his business seriously when it comes to his footwear.

Adidas’ support has helped Kanye’s Yeezy brand succeed in the present, but it soon became clear that Kanye is not now content with the company. The company is reissuing a ton of famous Yeezy sneakers in honor of Yeezy Day today. According to a recent statement published by Sneaker News, Kanye disapproves of Yeezy Day and believes Adidas is operating behind his back.

Kanye continued by alleging that Adidas has been illegally stealing workers from his Yeezy brand and that the company stopped producing his shoes with Balenciaga. Kanye is obviously upset and is praying to God to take care of this matter.

According To Ye: “Adidas made up the Yeezy Day idea without my approval then went and brought back older styles without my approval picked colors and named them without my approval went and hired people that worked for me without my approval stole my colorways without my approval stole my styles and material approaches without my approval went and hired a gm of Yeezy without my approval took talent on the production side and sprinkled them throughout Adidas Originals without my approval.”

Boosie Badazz Thinks The Industry Is Moving Away From Gangsta Rappers

Rappers are making sure their lawyers are prepared for action as news has emerged that Atlanta prosecutors are planning more RICO cases. We have followed the latest developments in the explosive case involving YSL, which led to the detention and prosecution of over two dozen individuals. However, the D.A.’s office has confirmed that additional indictments are imminent. These suspects have included Young Thug and Gunna, who are still detained and continue to vehemently deny all charges brought against them.

Boosie recently gave one of many interviews to VladTV, during which he discussed the changes taking place in hip-hop and how the genre seemed to be moving away from gangsta rap culture and toward a less contentious sound.

“They basically doing all this to separate gangbanging from Rap,” Boosie stated. “They gon’ basically tell you, you can’t be a gangbanger and Rap… I’m not a gang banger, but I think it’s a bad thing for them. Gangbangers. Because what they’re preaching about, they’re not gonna let happen. The power that bring it, they’re not gonna let it stay. The impact you’re having on people, they’re not gonna it stay. You’re gonna have to be a fake rapper.”

“If they see you goin’ that way, they’re gonna stop you,” he added. “That’s why [they said], ‘We’re gonna get YSL.’ Who everybody lookin’ up to. And that’s the way they can do it with the gangbanging thing. That’s a tool they got right now, and it’s become successful, but I want all them boys free. I want all them boys at home. I just tell ’em, get close with God, man. Get close with God in the motherf*cka. You never know.”

Drake Pays Tribute To Sidhu Moose Wala, An Indian Rapper

Drake pays tribute to Sidhu Moose Wala, an Indian rapper and politician who was shot and killed over the weekend.

After being shot in the Mansa district, one of India’s most well-known rappers died last week. Sidhu Moose Wala, 28, was shot and died in his homeland of Punjab, according to rolling stone. On Sunday, videos and photographs of the murder scene leaked, showing him sitting in an SUV while people tried to resuscitate him. Moose Wala’s automobile was hit with at least 30 rounds of bullets, according to Punjab’s chief of police, VK Bhawra. Bhawra further alleged that Moose Wala’s death was the result of a gang feud.

Moose Wala was born in India but relocated to Brampton, Ontario, a suburb near Toronto, after graduating from university with a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering. On Sunday night, many Toronto artists, including Drake, paid tribute to Moose Wala. “RIP MOOSE,” wrote Toronto’s hometown hero with a photo of the murdered artist and his mother.

Sidhu Moose Wala became a leader of Congress in 2021, in addition to pursuing a promising musical career. In a Facebook post, Goldy Brar, a mobster stationed in Canada, claimed responsibility for Moose Wala’s death as retaliation for Vikramjit Singh Middukhera and Gurlal Brar. His death, however, was a political assassination by the Punjab Congress. Just one day before Sidhu Moose Wala’s murder, Punjab police removed the security of 424 politicians, including him.

Freddie Gibbs Makes His Film Debut In The Trailer For "Down With The King"

Freddie Gibbs Makes His Film Debut In The Trailer For “Down With The King”

Freddie Gibbs Makes His Film Debut In The Trailer For “Down With The King”

Freddie Gibbs’ much awaited feature film debut “Down With the King,” has finally released its first trailer. On Monday, the Gary, Indiana rapper gave fans a first peek at the album via Twitter.

Gibbs plays Money Merc, an artist who declares his retirement from the profession and begins spending time in a small-town farming community in the film.

Diego Ongaro directed Down With the King, which he co-wrote with Xabi Molia. In addition to Gibbs, the film will feature David Krumholtz, Bob Tarasuk, Sharon Washington, and others.

“I had to quit being Freddie Gibbs for six months that I had to be Mercury,” While discussing the film with Complex last year, Gibbs said. “There’s a lot of flaws that I have as a human being and as a man that I added to him to give it a little more sense of reality. Because I’ve been, not necessarily at the point where I wanted to retire, but wanting to quit with the music thing and just the way things are with the atmosphere, with the constant grind, trying to keep people entertained; that’s a difficult thing. 

He continued, “You see a lot of entertainers commit suicide and turn to drugs. I’ve had my run-ins with drugs and mental health and things of that nature, so this was a good way for me to kind of put that on canvas without necessarily kind of talking about it to anybody. This movie was more therapeutic for me than anything, even with some of the music.”

On June 28, Down With the King will be available on demand and through streaming.

In an interview with BigBoysNeighborhood, the rapper said he has a great leadership skills and his impeccable tastes for high level things. Asap Rocky has been a good husband to Rihanna even before they welcome their first child.

Rihanna gave birth to a baby boy on May 13th, according to official records. The name of their child, however, the name is unknown yet. Neither Rihanna nor A$AP Rocky have made any public announcements about their child’s birth. But it’s safe to say that parenthood is already keeping them busy.

In late January, Rihanna and Rocky revealed that they were having a child together with a series of prenatal images shot in New York City. Rihanna hasn’t been shy about flaunting her baby bump in public since then.

Rocky appears unconcerned about his desire to start a family. “I think I’d be an incredible, remarkably, overall amazing dad,” he told GQ in a cover interview released May 19. “I would have a very fly child. Very.” He has no doubt that the mother of the aforementioned fly child is “the One.”

Snoop Dogg Reveals Why Death Row Catalog and Dr. Dre’s ‘The Chronic,’ Was Removed From DSPs

Snoop Dogg joined DJ EFN and N.O.R.E. on a recent edition of Drink Champs to talk about a variety of issues. Among them, the new owner of Death Row Records explained why he removed certain Death Row titles from digital streaming services. A decision that angered fans of the legendary West Coast rap company.

“First thing I did was snatch all the music off those platforms traditionally known to people, because those platforms don’t pay,” he stated. “And those platforms get millions of millions of streams, and nobody gets paid other than the record labels. So what I wanted to do is snatch my music off, create a platform similar to Amazon, Netflix, Hulu. It’ll be a Death Row app, and the music, in the meantime, will live in the metaverse.”

Snoop Dogg on His Mother’s Death

The rapper also mentioned his mother Beverly Tate, who died in October 2021. Snoop went on stage at Big Night Live in Boston only hours after revealing the news.

Instead of canceling the show, he addressed the audience. He said, “I wasn’t even gonna come out here and perform tonight ’cause my mother passed away earlier tonight, but in the spirit of the people of Boston, I wanted to come out here and represent for y’all because this is what my mama would have wanted me to do.”
