On the song Party Time Consequence disses Drake Hours after Kanye West and Andre 3000 Leak THEURBANSPOTLIGHT.COM

On the song “Party Time”, Consequence disses Drake Hours after Kanye West and André 3000 Leak

/0 Comments/in , /by

Kanye West and Consequence have been friends for over 15 years. Despite their differences (Cons split from G.O.O.D. Music in 2011 on bad terms), their relationship has withstood every storm. So it’s no surprise that he is firing back with a new diss song called “Party Time.”

The song was released on Saturday night (September 4), hours after Drake leaked the Kanye West and André 3000 collaboration “Life Of The Party,”.

In the first minute, Consequence makes a slick allusion to Pusha T’s seething Drake diss in which he claimed that OVO boss had fathered a kid with ex-soft porn actress Sophie Brassaux. He also accused him of shamelessly pursuing Kanye West’s wife, Kim Kardashian.

“You might as well say you’ll take the next man’s life,”

“Cause that’s the dark place that makes most men fight

But from the outside, a person can tell

You going through your own personal hell

Your parents out here like Sonya and Dell

And ever since Sophie had a story to tell

You been taking Ls and coming out the cage

And thought we couldn’t tell you were coming after K.”

Last month, a purported feud between Drake and Kanye West was reignited when Trippie Redd’s song “Betrayal” featured Drake throwing a few shot at Kanye. From there, it became more petty, with Kanye posting Drake’s Toronto address on social media and Drake giggling hysterically as he mocked himself.

But it took a step up when Drake leaked the “Life Of The Party” track, an outtake from Donda. It prompted André 3000, who rarely communicates on social media, to react and explain why it wasn’t included in the final album.

“A few weeks ago Kanye reached out about me being a part of the Donda album,” he wrote. “I was inspired by his idea to make a musical tribute to his mom. It felt appropriate to me to support the Donda concept by referencing my own mother, who passed away in 2013. We both share that loss.

“I thought it was a beautiful choice to make a clean album but, unfortunately, I didn’t know that was the plan before I wrote and recorded my verse. It was clear to me that an edited ‘clean’ format of the verse would not work without having the raw, original also available. “So, sadly, I had to be omitted from the original album release.”

He called it “unfortunate” that it was leaked just as Kanye West and Drake were squabbling, but he said he’d be open to collaborating with both artists in the future, as well as Lil Baby, Tyler, The Creator, and JAY-Z.

After his verse was supposedly deleted from Donda, Soulja Boy isn’t letting Kanye West off the hook. On Tuesday (August 31), the 31-year-old rapper uploaded his removed lyrics from “Remote Control” to Instagram with the tag “Fuck Kanye.”

He then took things a step further by posting a flashback photo of himself with Kanye’s soon-to-be ex Kim Kardashian, implying he had previously slept with her — long before “Kimye” became a pop culture allusion. Soulja Boy taking credit for being “the first” at anything is a running gag at this point.

“I was the first rapper with @kimkardashian,” he wrote. “not u @kanye west.”

In February, Kim Kardashian filed for divorce from Kanye West, just as he was attempting to run for president and had several Twitter drifts. He accused her of sleeping with Meek Mill.

“I wanna play.” Soulja Boy wrote on Instagram after Kardashian posted a series of photos of herself on the tennis court wearing only a bralette and underwear.

However, according to TMZ, all is not lost for the pair. In Chicago on Thursday night (August 26), Kanye brought out Kim in a white wedding gown and they appeared to re-create their “I Dos,” which fueled rumors that they’d gotten back together.

And they might not be entirely out of pocket. For the sake of their four children – Saint, North, Chicago, and Psalm – the pair is said to be “privately” trying to work things out.

Soulja Boy Publishes Another Missing ‘Donda’ Verse, Criticizing Kanye West — Again

Kanye West’s delayed Donda album debuted on Sunday, unexpectedly featuring numerous special guests including JAY-Z, Travis Scott, Lil Durk, and The Weekend. However, some performers who are said to have worked on the 27-track project were left out.

Apart from Chris Brown, who referred to Kanye as a “hoe” for neglecting his contributions, Soulja Boy was apparently cut. Soulja Boy was asked about Donda on Twitter soon after the project went live. He replied, “IDK how to feel, Kanye sent me that song ‘remote control’ and I don’t hear my verse on it…hmm fuck that n-gga.”

On Tuesday, however (August 31), Soulja Boy resurrected the unused verse from his song “Remote Control,” and he fired another shot at G.O.O.D. Music founder Kanye West in a Instagram video clip.

It was shared under the caption, “Here’s my ‘Remote Control’ verse,” “Fuck Kanye #Donda.”

The omission of artists such as Soulja Boy and Chris Brown wasn’t the only thing that angered fans. During Thursday’s (August 26) listening event at Soldier Field in Chicago, listeners noticed Kanye replacing JAY-Z’s verse on “Jail” with one from DaBaby. However, when the album was finished, DaBaby’s lyrics was missing.

According to Bu Thaim, Kanye’s manager, the line was never authorized by Arnold Taylor, DaBaby’s manager, which he flatly denied on Instagram.

“This is CAP,” he wrote. “I woke up this morning to this social media bullshit. I never got a call or email from @kanyewest @__bu @johnmonopoly I just received it today and Cleared it in 2 seconds.

Then, according to Kanye, Universal released the album without his consent and blocked DaBaby’s verse.

Trippie Redd Confesses He Completely Missed Drakes Kanye West Betrayal Shots THEURBANSPOTLIGHT.COM

Trippie Redd Confesses He Completely Missed Drake’s Kanye West ‘Betrayal’ Shots

/0 Comments/in , /by

Trippie Redd was recently on an interview with Big Boy’s Neighborhood and during the interview he made a surprising admission.

According to Trippie Redd, he had no idea that Drake was dissing Kanye West on the song “Betrayal,” which premiered earlier this month on Trippie Redd’s Trip At Knight album.

“I thought he was talking about a strap or something, forty-five, forty-four,” he says. “I didn’t know what he was talking about. It is what it is.”

The statement that seemed to rouse up Drake and Kanye’s 2018 beef from its slumber was, “All these fools I’m beefin’ that I barely know/Forty-five, forty-four (Burned out), let it go/Ye ain’t changin’ shit for me, it’s set in stone,” a reference to their album release dates.

In response, Kanye West posted an image of Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker in the discussion, then added Pusha T, a long-time adversary of Drake.

“I live for this,” he wrote in the since-deleted post. “I’ve been fucked with by nerd ass jock n-ggas like you my whole life. You will never recover. I promise you.”

The release of Kanye West’s Donda album on streaming services on Sunday (August 29) ended the dispute as to who would drop their projects first. On Monday (August 30), Drake revealed that his long-awaited sequel to 2018’s Scorpion album, Certified Lover Boy, will be released Friday (September 3).

In terms of high-profile debuts, Kendrick Lamar is next in line. On August 20, the renowned MC appeared to start his album rollout when he revealed that his next studio project would be his last for Top Dawg Entertainment.

Kanye Wests New Album Hits 1 on Apple Music THEURBANSPOTLIGHT.COM

Kanye West’s New Album Hits #1 on Apple Music

The long-awaited new album ‘Donda’ by Kanye West (44), which was launched on Sunday, has immediately been noted as the highest entry at Apple Music. ‘Donda’ reached the number 1 position in 152 countries within 24 hours. Also on Spotify, it was the most streamed album so far in 2021. In addition, the record, named after Kanye’s late mother, was streamed 60 million times in the United States.

The singer held three listening sessions prior to the release of his new album: two in Atlanta and one in Chicago. During that last session, the singer brought the controversial Marilyn Manson and DaBaby on stage, something that was not appreciated by all his fans. Manson is under fire for multiple sexual abuse charges filed against him and DaBaby recently slammed out highly homophobic lyrics at one of his concerts.

The singer announced on Sunday that the record was released by the record company Universal without his permission. Universal also allegedly kept the song ‘Jail pt 2’ with DaBaby off the record without his knowledge. The record company contradicts this, calling his words “absurd.”

Donda is West’s tenth studio album and the follow-up to the 2019 gospel album Jesus Is King.

Alleged Male Victim of R. Kelly Testifies in Court THEURBANSPOTLIGHT.COM

Alleged Male Victim of R. Kelly Testifies in Court

After several women have told their story about R. Kelly (54), the first alleged male victim of the singer was now in court to make a statement. The witness believes that he was exploited by Kelly as a minor student. This is reported by The New York Times.

“He then told me to keep this incident between the two of us”

The man, whose identity has remained anonymous, says Kelly placated him in 2007 with promises to help him with his music career after they met at a McDonald’s branch.

“He asked me what it took me to succeed in the entertainment industry, to which I replied that I would do anything for him from carrying his bags to other chores. But he didn’t mean that, because then he asked me if I ever fantasized about having sex with a man. Then he knelt in front of me to give me oral sex, which I didn’t want to do. He then told me to keep this incident between the two of us.”

It didn’t stop there, because during a meeting the singer subsequently summoned a young naked girl to provide both him and the underage boy with oral sex. When asked why the alleged victim kept seeing Kelly despite everything, he replied: “Because I really wanted to make it in the industry and kept hoping he could help me.”

Kelly has always denied all allegations against him.

There seems to be a chance that Kim Kardashian (40) and Kanye West (44) will get back together after all. When the reality star appeared in a wedding dress at the listening session of the rapper’s new album last Thursday and the two reportedly left the stadium in Chicago hand in hand, the rumor mill started spinning. Insiders now tell ‘TMZ’ that it is not impossible that the exes will try again.

Although Kim, according to the insiders, does not intend to put the divorce papers through the shredder for the time being, they are talking to each other. They would talk together about how to “rebuild the foundation of their relationship.”

The reality star and the rapper would mainly work on their band because of their four children. If it turns out that the two do not want to divorce, then that is only a bonus for the whole family, the couple thinks, according to insiders.

Kim filed for divorce in February after nearly seven years of marriage. Kanye would then have briefly dated model Irina Shayk.

The three listening parties that Kanye West (44) has organized for his new album ‘Donda’ have certainly not done him any harm. According to an estimate of ‘Vice’, the rapper has earned 7.5 million dollars (6.4 million euros) from the first two release parties in Atlanta. ‘Billboard’ even thinks that the third listening event in Chicago on Thursday will bring the total to more than 12.5 million dollars (10.6 million euros).

Kanye was set to release his tenth album, named after his mother, in late July. He booked a stadium in Atlanta for a release party, but afterwards he announced that he still wanted to tinker with the record. On August 5, he gave a second listening party in the stadium, which was also not followed by an album. Thursday there will be another release party for Donda , now in Chicago, after which the new music will really come out, according to the rapper’s manager.

Although the 80,000 visitors to the first two listening events all bought a ticket, the merchandise sold during those concerts is the gold mine, Vice states . After deducting production costs and the fifteen percent that his manager withholds from his income, the rapper would still have $3.3 million (2.8 million euros) left on the shirts, sweaters and other goods sold during the concerts.
