Kanye West Cuts Ties With Controversial DaBaby

/0 Comments/in , /by

It seems very likely that Kanye West is trying to distance himself from the previously discredited rapper DaBaby. Kanye has a single with DaBaby removed from a number of streaming platforms.

Kanye has removed his remix of the song Nah Nah Nah, which features rappers DaBaby and 2 Chainz, from Spotify, Apple and Tidal Music, among others. The music video for the song is still available on YouTube. His action is not completely out of the blue. DaBaby was previously discredited by the homophobic statements he made during a concert. During a show at a festival in Miami, the rapper asked everyone in attendance to turn on their cell phones except gays “having sex in parking garages” or those who are HIV-positive. He also claimed that people with HIV ‘die within two or three weeks’.

In a now-deleted Instagram post, DaBaby apologized for the homophobic statements. DaBaby was removed from the line-up of the American festival Lollapalooza after his statements. Celebrities such as Elton John, Dua Lipa and Madonna also disapproved of his comments.

The Nah Nah Nah remix was Kanye’s most recent single, who is about to release his new album Donda. The release of his new record was delayed twice because Kanye missed the deadline. Fans can pre-order Donda through Apple Music. It now states that the album will be released on August 13. Whether that is correct is not clear. The rapper has not yet confirmed the new date.

Famous Philadelphia Rapper Dark Lo Faces 7 Years In Prison

Famous Philadelphia rapper Dark Lo faces nearly a decade in prison for writing a threatening letter to a witness during AR-Ab’s drug trial.

A Philadelphia judge ultimately convicted rapper Dark Lo (real name Charles Salley) in a case that linked the rapper to gang violence and drug trafficking.

The federal court sentenced him to 7 years in prison, saying the eminent artist should have learned better.

According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, US District Judge Mark A. Kearney admitted that the rapper had too much to lose teetering in the music industry and the streets.

The artist apologized to the court for accusing a government witness that he could be “stabbed up” if he testified during the trial of his friend Abdul “AR-Ab in 2019.

The rapper sent a threatening letter to a team member named Donte “Taz” Stewart who collaborated with the government.

The letter threatened violence against the witness and his girlfriend.

Dark Lo appeared in court during the AR-Ab trial in 2019, the day Tez testified. The FBI seized the letter and arrested Dark Lo at his Delaware home.

Dark Lo said he didn’t want to scare anyone.

But it was reported that he released a rap song called “Allegations” which seemed to mean he “can’t wait to see” the one who opened his mouth to the police…

The judge, after reviewing all of this evidence, noted how he had turned his life of drug dealing into becoming a commercial rapper and said, “You are the word blacksmith. You chose these words. You know how to write words to create an effect.”

But he still sentenced Dark Lo to nearly a decade in prison for threatening a witness in the case. Dark Lo pleaded guilty to these charges earlier this year.

Nicki Minaj Husband Kenneth Petty Pleads Guilty After Failing To Register As A Sex Offender

Kenneth Petty (43) pleaded guilty to failing to register as a sex offender in California. The husband of Nicki Minaj (38) thus escapes the hefty prison sentence.

According to TMZ , Kenneth made a deal with the Public Prosecution Service whereby he will receive a lower sentence in exchange for his confession. Sex offenders who fail to submit mandatory registration can face up to ten years in prison plus life in probation. It is possible that he will also have to sit for a while. The prosecutors would also have pointed out in the papers that the minimum sentence is five years’ probation.

Kenneth was arrested in March of 2020 for moving to Nicki, California, but not registering as a sex offender there. He has had to do so since he was convicted in New York in 1995 for attempted rape. In addition to the registration, he must also adhere to a curfew. Earlier this year, he was allowed to be with the singer at any time of the day at the birth of his first child. The couple became parents of a son in October.

Kanye West Misses Donda Deadline Again THEURBANSPOTLIGHT.COM

Kanye West Misses Donda Deadline Again

/0 Comments/in , /by

Kanye West (44) has again failed to release his new album ‘Donda’ on the planned date. The record was supposed to appear on Friday, after having been postponed twice before, but is still not online on Saturday.

Fans can pre-order ‘Donda’ through Apple Music. It now states that the album will be released on August 13. Whether that is correct is not clear. The rapper has not yet responded to the news that he is late again.

‘Donda’, Kanye’s tenth studio album, was supposed to be released last year. The rapper postponed this and chose July 23 as the new date, but even then he was not satisfied enough with the songs. He decided to stay at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, where he threw a release party on July 21, to continue tinkering with his music. Last Thursday he organized another event in the stadium to celebrate the arrival of the album.

It is more common that the rapper decides at the last minute not to release an album on the planned date. For example, the release of his previous album ‘Jesus Is King’ (2019) was postponed several times and fans also had to wait longer for previous albums.

Meanwhile, the rapper would be busy with a new sweetheart in his life.

Kanye West Takes A Nap During New Album Release Party THEURBANSPOTLIGHT.COM

Kanye West Takes A Nap During New Album Release Party

/0 Comments/in , /by

Kanye West (44) has thrown another release party for his new album ‘Donda’. The launch party was even more exuberant than the first time, American media report. The rapper took a nap and a number of push-ups during the event, among other things.

The launch again took place at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. There, the artist held a big listening event to share his new music with his fans. According to attendees, he regularly made use of a makeshift bed during the session and the rapper also occasionally used his phone to call someone.

One of the highlights of the event was when the rapper let himself hoist and hover above the stage. Images of a ‘flying’ Kanye were widely shared on social media.

Named after West’s mother, ‘Donda’ was actually supposed to come out on July 23. The night before, the musician also held a major listening event to share his new music with his fans. That event was simpler set up than the second party. The first time, the rapper stood alone in the middle of the stadium, moving along quietly, occasionally saying something through a microphone while the album was playing.

The day after the party, however, he went into a makeshift studio in the stadium because he still wanted to tinker with the album. To date, the real album has still not been presented. That is expected to happen on Friday. For Kanye, delay is not an unusual move, because he has often decided to go into the studio again at the very last minute. The release of his previous album ‘Jesus Is King’ (2019) was also postponed a few times.

Rapper C Murder Claims Sealed Documents Hold Keys To His Freedom THEURBANSPOTLIGHT.COM

Rapper C-Murder Claims Sealed Documents Hold Keys To His Freedom

/0 Comments/in , /by

Rapper C-Murder, no-limit rapper, has been serving a life sentence since 2009 for his alleged role in the murder of 16-year-old boy in 2002. He has claimed his innocence from the onset.

Today, after a series of major twists and turns during his trial, the rapper claims there are sealed documents that hold the key to his freedom.

In a press release from his publicist on Wednesday August 4, rapper C-Murder claims there are 31 hidden documents showing illegal DNA reports that were not presented during his attempted murder.

He claims a match was found when analyzing his DNA in the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) database, but the Attorney ordered that the genetic data be pulled from the system and marked as unknown.

Miller called for a full investigation into the “corruption that led to his current imprisonment” and for the press to demand that the 31 documents be turned over to him and his legal department. The courts are apparently fighting against the disclosure of these documents.

“Half of my life has been stolen by the Louisiana courts and it stops now!” said C-murder.

The press release also said that the no-limit rapper, currently housed at Elayn Hunt Correctional Center in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, has gone on a hunger strike to protest the medical negligence he and other inmates have suffered since the Covid pandemic.

He also added that “While quarantined, the inmates are on constant lockdown and are not allowed to leave the dorm to receive fresh air. The tests that they provide are not up to standard and they are giving many erroneous results. There are many inmates that have ailments that were not properly treated and as a result, have died after contracting the virus.

“I believe that the world should know what is occurring here and their loved ones deserve to know the truth.”

Justin Bieber Criticizes Media For Using Unhealthy Photos THEURBANSPOTLIGHT.COM

Justin Bieber Criticizes Media For Using ‘Unhealthy’ Photos

/0 Comments/in , /by

Justin Bieber (27) is definitely not happy with the fact that the media regularly posts old photos of him, where he doesn’t look his best. According to the pop star, this makes it seem like things are not going well with him, while that is actually not the case.

“Hundreds of photos of me have been taken over the years and I keep seeing the same ones online or in the magazines. These are often images from my time fighting Lyme disease. When those photos were taken, it was suggested that I was on crystal meth, because I had a pale face and had lost some weight. It’s very annoying, of course, if you actually have something among the members. That’s why I don’t think it’s okay that those photos are used again and again,” said Justin.

However, it is not as simple as Justin says. Almost all media use a photo press agency, which has various images in their image bank. Because Justin has hardly been present at red carpet events in recent years or has offered photographers the opportunity to take new shots themselves, the media has to make do with what is available.

Fortunately, Justin also has plenty of reasons to be happy.

Miley Cyrus Does Stand Up for DaBaby and Wants To Learn From Each Other THEURBANSPOTLIGHT.COM

Miley Cyrus Does Stand Up for DaBaby and Wants To Learn From Each Other

/0 Comments/in , /by

Miley Cyrus (28) reached out to DaBaby (29). The rapper has come under fire after he uttered homophobic lyrics during the Rolling Loud festival in Miami. It earned him criticism from, for example, Elton John (74) and Madonna (62), who accused him of his ‘ignorance’. Miley wants to do something about that, she announced via Instagram.

“I would like to talk to you to see how we can learn from each other”

The 28-year-old singer posted a message on the social medium that was addressed to DaBaby. “As a proud member of the lgbtqia+ community, I’ve devoted much of my life to embracing love, acceptance and an open mind. The internet is a place that can instigate a lot of hatred and anger and is at the heart of ‘cancel culture’. But I believe it can also be a place where you can learn, communicate and come into contact with each other.’

She continues: ‘It’s a lot easier to ‘cancel’ someone than to forgive someone and seek compassion in yourself to perhaps change someone’s mind. There is no more room for division if we want to keep making progress! Knowledge is wisdom. I know from myself that I still have a lot to learn in any case.’

Miley addressed her post specifically to DaBaby. “Check your DMs, I’d love to talk to you to see how we can learn from each other and help each other get more understanding in the future.”

Fans are divided on Miley’s post. ‘No, someone who is so ‘ignorant’ doesn’t deserve this. You only give him attention in this way and that is exactly what he does. Exit with that guy,” one fan wrote. ‘It’s good that you bring this up. If someone grew up and brought up with these kinds of ideas, then he or she simply doesn’t know any better. Then it is only good that people stand up to make a different picture clear to him,’ says another.

Rapper T.I. Arrested in Amsterdam Over Bicycle Incident Involving Police Officer THEURBANSPOTLIGHT.COM

Rapper TI Arrest in Amsterdam was a ‘miscommunication’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Clifford Joseph Harris Jr., also known as TI, is back in Los Angeles after vacationing with his wife Tiny in Amsterdam. There, the 40-year-old rapper was arrested by the police after he drove his bicycle through a red light. But in the end it all went well, he told ‘TMZ’ at the airport.

“Here in America you have to immediately fear for your life”

“It was all very blown up, because there wasn’t that much going on. As I said before, I was very surprised at the relaxed approach of the Amsterdam agents, who didn’t even try to draw their weapons. It wouldn’t have been necessary for such a minor offense, but here in America you have to immediately fear for your life. That was an eye-opener,” said TI

He continues: “The fact that the officers and I couldn’t understand each other caused miscommunication. I didn’t understand the accent of the officer who spoke to me, it was a kind of mix of English with Dutch, at least I think. I didn’t immediately think he was a cop. In America, these kind of men come up with a little more fanfare, so to speak. Then you immediately know that it is wrong and now I was actually quite nicely received. I was not handcuffed and was allowed to getting in the car yourself. We are not used to that in America.”
