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

/0 Comments/in , /by

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

/1 Comment/in , /by

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.

More than six months after Kim Kardashian (40) filed for divorce from Kanye West (44), the reality star seems to have put that intention on the back burner. According to a source, Kim would be “open to working towards a reconciliation,” reports ‘E! news’.

“Nor has the love between them diminished”

“Kim isn’t speeding up, because she and Kanye are currently communicating well. Their four children are also doing well, which is the most important thing for them. They have done a lot as a family, without giving the children false hope. Most importantly, Kim and Kanye have grown closer, something that is especially important to her as Kanye betrayed her trust, he has never doubted that he wants her back, but it has to be both ways. coming,” the source said.

To everyone’s surprise, Kim appeared in a wedding dress at Kanye’s album launch last week. “She really wanted that herself, because she thinks it is very important to continue to support Kanye and vice versa. She has great respect for him as a creative person, just as he has for her. It has never been about that. They haven’t diminished between them, but there are quite a few hurdles to overcome before they really get back together.”

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

/0 Comments/in , /by

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 put up ‘Donda’ Ads in Toronto, in an apparent bid to boost his new song’s popularity

/0 Comments/in , /by

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.

Kanye West Steals Logo for New Album

Kanye West Steals Logo for New Album

According to Randy Dawkins, the creative director of the fashion label ‘Infinity G8ds’, Kanye West (44) would have stolen their logo for his new album ‘Donda’. The logo can be seen on t-shirts and hoodies, among other things, but does not come from Kanyes. This reports ‘The Daily Beast’.

“As black artists you have to support each other, which has not happened”

The company is run by black entrepreneurs, making Kanyes ‘playing borrowed neighbor’ extra hard. “It’s disappointing. We have nothing against him at all and even think he’s a good artist, but there are a few things wrong in business,” said Randy.

Randy says he was approached at the end of July by Kanye’s personal chef Willie Wallace, with whom he was friends, after which he got to speak to the singer himself. “He said, dude, I absolutely love your design, when can I meet you to talk about this? Then we drove from Miami to Atlanta to talk to him. That conversation was great, we explained to him what we do and he thought that was cool. Then he invited us to dinner together, which was really nice. But we haven’t heard anything since, and not long after that dinner we suddenly saw our logo on his merchandise.”

He continues: “Obviously I misjudged the situation. As black artists you have to support each other, which has not happened. He could also have helped me create some visibility, but that’s not how it works. I am very sorry to be treated this way and others are showing off your work.”

Kanye sold the shirts and hoodies with the ‘stolen’ logo at his listening sessions in Atlanta starting at $85. Spokespersons for the singer declined to comment.

I Was The First Rapper Kim Kardashian, Soulja Boy Tells Kanye West

/0 Comments/in , /by

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

/0 Comments/in , /by

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 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 West’s New Album Hits #1 on Apple Music

/0 Comments/in , /by

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.
