Pooh Shiesty Going For Trial - Will The Rapper Get A Life Sentence In Prison? image

Pooh Shiesty Going For Trial – Will The Rapper Get A Life Sentence In Prison?

Lontrell “Pooh Shiesty” Williams, a Memphis artist, surrendered to authorities in July. Pooh Shiesty was said to be involved in a shooting incident. Pooh Shiesty surrendered shortly after hearing that the police had an arrest warrant against him.

According to XXL Magazine, Williams was accused of shooting a security guard. The alleged occurrence took place during Memorial Day weekend. There is genuine video evidence of the event. Despite the fact that the video footage does not clearly indicate who fired the shot, authorities obtained an arrest warrant for him. His career was just beginning to take off. However, his career came to a screeching halt after this incident.

Nonetheless, if found guilty, Williams will face some severe penalties. Originally, Williams was supposed to appear in court on December 19th. However, according to The Source, Williams switched his mind about the delay. And attorneys for both sides agree. As a result, William’s hearing has been rescheduled for October 25th. A four-count federal indictment had been brought against him. The maximum possible sentence for WILLIAMS is life imprisonment.

From what I’ve seen, I don’t think Williams will get much time. Of course, there are aspects of the case that are problematic for Williams. His showing off hundred-dollar bills on Instagram and a Louis Vuitton bag with over $40,000 in cash might be the nail in his coffin.

Kanye West's latest album, "Donda" debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart image

Kanye West’s latest album, “Donda” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart

On Sunday, Billboard revealed that Kanye West’s 10th studio album Donda debuted at No. 1 on the chart with 327,000 total album-equivalent units. It’s Kanye West’s best first week on the chart since 2013’s, which debuted with over 327,000 sales. His 2018 album Ye, debuted with approximately 208,000 total album-equivalent units sold, whereas his 2019 gospel album “Jesus Is King” debuted at No. 1 and sold an estimated 264,000 album-equivalent units.

Despite the controversy surrounding the release of his album, including Kanye accusing Universal Music Group of releasing the record without his final permission, the album saw the second-largest debut on Spotify.

A song between Kanye West and André 3000, which was removed from Donda, was a collaboration titled “Life of the Party.” Three Stacks pouring out his heart over his late mother while also addressing Kanye’s mother, Donda West, in “Life of the Party,”

Rather than being excluded from the final cut, Drake leaked the song while hosting a guest DJ on SiriusXM on Saturday (September 4), prompting longtime Kanye collaborator Consequence to retaliate with a diss track.

André 3000 Issues a Statement in Response to the Drake + Kanye West Feud, addressing “Life of the Party”

It’s unusual to see André 3000 on social media these days. These days, the Outkast frontman mostly prefers to stay solitary, occasionally playing his flute and minding his own business throughout various cities. However, while acting as a guest DJ for SiriusXM’s Sound 42 radio program, Drake inadvertently leaked an unreleased Kanye West and André 3000 song called “Life Of The Party.”

Kanye freestyled the track, which was originally supposed to be on Donda, and addressed Drake directly. It’s very likely he decided to release it as part of their social media tussle.

Three Stacks explained why his verse wasn’t included in a statement shortly after the song started circulating.

“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. The track I received and wrote to didn’t have the diss verse on it and we were hoping to make a more focused offering for the Donda album but I guess things happen like they are supposed to.

André went on to say how disappointed he was that “Life Of The Party” was released at the height of Kanye and Drake’s perceived rivalry.

“It’s unfortunate that it was released in this way this way and two artists that I love are going back and forth,” he continued. “I wanted to be on Certified Lover Boy too. I just want to work people that inspire me. Hopefully I can work with Kendrick on his album. I’d love to work with Lil Baby, Tyler and Jay-Z. I respect them all.”

Donda was given her name in honor of Kanye West’s late mother Dr. Donda West, who passed away in 2007. André 3000 understands this all too well. He mentioned that he had lost his own mother in 2013 and dedicated the lyrics to her memory.

“Hey Miss Donda, if you ran into my mama, please tell her I said, ‘Say something,’” he raps. “I’m starting to believe ain’t no such thing as Heaven’s trumpets/No after-over, this is it, done/If there’s a Heaven, you would think they’d let you speak to your son.”

Trippie redd snuck a no. 1 hip hop album onto the charts before the ‘clb’ + ‘donda’ craziness hit.

In 2021, Trippie Redd may be a rapper with fantastic timing.

After the release of his fourth album Trip at Knight on August 20, which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, The “Dark Knight Dummo” rapper notched his fourth No. 1 on the chart with 81,000 equivalent album units in its first week.

The Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart also includes ten of the album’s songs.

The collections of artists on the big screen include Lil Uzi Vert, SoFaygo, Playboi Carti, Juice WRLD and XXXTENTACION, as well as Drake. The latter collaboration arguably sparked the present streaming wars between Kanye West and Certified Lover Boy, with both artists releasing albums over an extended period.

On the track “Betrayal,” on the Trip At Knight album, Drake fired off a quip heard throughout the world: “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 shot fired at Donda’s unpredictable release.

The lyrics were as intense to Kanye West as the Michael Jordan meme was, and he allegedly leaked Drake’s house and location, prompting him to visit his Toronto headquarters with Donda advertisements.

The Trip At Knight’s Billboard feat succeeds previous albums A Love Letter to You 3, A Love Letter to You 4 and 2020’s Pegasus, which will undoubtedly bring great news for diehard fans across the country.

Drake, Future, and Young Thug Get 'Way 2 Sexy' for a New Video With Nba Star Kawhi Leonard's Help image

Drake, Future, and Young Thug Get ‘Way 2 Sexy’ for a New Video With Nba Star Kawhi Leonard’s Help

On Friday (September 3), Drake delivered his long-anticipated Certified Lover Boy, followed by the release of the first music video. The song “Way 2 Sexy” from CLB features Future and Young Thug, who are known as Super Slimey.

Mr. Meyers serves as the main director, while Drake takes on a number of roles, including taking an aerobics class, transitioning to Rambo, getting older as he walks the beach with his protruding stomach out, becoming a pirate, and even releasing his own line of fragrance.

Fans had heard “Way 2 Sexy” was one of the songs being recorded in August, when Akademiks uploaded video footage from the shoot and claimed it would be released as a single to compete with Kanye West’s Donda release. However, they decided to save the TM88-produced song for CLB instead.

Drake Finally Releases His Album After Months

Drake (34) released his long-awaited new album on Friday. ‘Certified Lover Boy’ is the Canadian rapper’s sixth album and the first since his 2018 hit album ‘Scorpion’.

The album contains a total of 21 songs and numerous collaborations with other artists. Among others, Lil Baby, Jay-Z, Travis Scott, Young Thug, Future, 21 Savage, Ty Dolla $ign and Kid Cudi.

Certified Lover Boy was supposed to be released in January, but Drake postponed the release several times.

Kanye West's Manager Says He Could Squash the Beef With Drake Depending on 'Clb' Jabs image

Kanye West’s Manager Says He Could Squash the Beef With Drake Depending on ‘Clb’ Jabs

Kanye West and Drake resurrected their feud in August, with several jabs emerging from Drizzy’s verse on Trippie Redd’s “Betrayal,” which was released in January. Despite all of the insults launched, Kanye’s manager Abou “Bu” Thiam thinks they have a chance to put it behind them.

In a recent interview with TMZ, Bu offered his views on the situation preceding Certified Lover Boy’s anticipated release on Friday (September 3).

“It’s two creatives taking jabs at each other, but they could rectify it, man,” he admitted. “Yeah, of course. You know, we’ll see. His album comes out I think in a couple days … Friday. Depending on what he says on his album, we’ll see.”

He agreed with the interviewer’s assessment that it was too soon to judge since Drake might have future disses up his sleeve.

Also, while answering a question, Bu also spoke about Chris Brown and Soulja Boy’s disappointment with Kanye West for not using their vocals on Donda.

“It’s Kanye’s album, man,” he said. “He’s painting his picture. You can’t tell someone to use your verse or not use your verse. There’s 10001 artists that didn’t make the album. That’s why I was so surprised when I heard the responses from all these artists. I’m like, ‘People do that shit all the time.’ No disrespect, Chris [Brown] is like my little brother, that’s family, Soulja Boy… it’s all love and it wasn’t intentional.”

Bu also hinted at Kanye West’s issues with Universal Music Group, which he says released Donda without his permission.

Kanye West has escalated his feud with Drake to new heights — literally.

In past month, the Hip Hop legends renewed their long-brewing rivalry after Drake attacked Kanye West on Trippie Redd’s “Betrayal,” to which Ye responded by releasing Drake’s home address on social media, a move that received a Joker-like giggle from the OVO rapper.

Kanye West and Drake are now competing for billboard space, on Drizzy’s home turf.

Kanye West promoted his new album on Wednesday by putting up Donda advertisements all over Downtown Toronto. Kanye’s billboards outnumber and tower above those purchased by Drake to advertise his own upcoming project Certified Lover Boy, which will be released Friday (September 3).

Of course, it’s not unusual for a major label artist to acquire billboard space to promote their newest project. But every move in Kanye West and Drake’s simmering feud seems to have more significance.

For example, earlier this week, Drake appeared to take a planned swipe at Mr. West when he reposted Soulja Boy’s photo on Instagram, which is an odd choice given that Big Draco has spent the bulk of this week taking potshots at Kanye for removing his verse from Donda.

Despite the fact that his backyard is infiltrated by Donda advertisements, Drake’s Certified Lover Boy billboards are certainly not going unnoticed.

DaBaby Reacts to Character Assassination in Wizkid “Essence” Freestyle Video

Despite the fact that he’s looking to put his controversial Rolling Loud Miami speech behind him, DaBaby wants to return to music. On Wednesday (September 1), the Charlotte native returned with his own spin on Wizkid’s popular “Essence” for a rap-heavy remix.

He transforms the track’s texture and tempo with his compact spit-fire rhymes, breaking down the Nigerian singer’s fan-favorite, which has recently become the most Shazamed song in the United States.

He even addresses the criticism he’s received for his homophobic remarks and how he plans to restore himself.

“I just feel like, you know, when situations like this present themselves, man/And people try to, you know, assassinate your character, man/And assassinate who you are, man/And everything you put that hard work in for, man/Sometimes you gotta demonstrate, you know, that’s how I came here,” he says.

DaBaby met with a group of nine HIV organizations from the United States who organized an open letter in order to meet and discuss HIV and hear personal experiences of people living with it. Over 125 organizations joined together to support the statement.

During the meeting, DaBaby apologized for his remarks while organization executives praised him for being willing to listen.

“DaBaby’s willingness to listen, learn, and grow can open the door to an entirely new generation of people to do the same,” said Marnina Miller of the Southern AIDS Coalition.
