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.

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

/1 Comment/in , /by

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.

/0 Comments/in , /by

The long-awaited debut album of Lil Nas X (22) will soon see the light of day and that is why the rapper has done a maternity photo shoot for ‘People’ complete with baby belly. He declares in the accompanying interview that his new record ‘Montero’ is his baby.

The rapper, whose real name is Montero Hill, says he made that baby comment to his stylist before, who joked that he might have to have maternity photos taken. “And then I was like: That’s actually a brilliant idea!”

Lil Nas X poses in one of the photos wearing a flower crown by a pool. In another shot he is lying on a couch with an open dressing gown. The photos were not appreciated by everyone. On Twitter, the musician reacted laconically to a number of hateful comments. He joked, among other things, that he is accused of desperately trying to get attention by people who then give him all that attention.

Still, at one point, he seemed done with the response, tweeting, “I’m going to go offline for a while, all this negative energy isn’t good for the baby.”

Dog walker says Lady Gaga Helped Him Process Trauma

Ryan Fischer, the man who walked Lady Gaga’s two French bulldogs when they were stolen, told his side of the story in an interview with Rolling Stone. He says, among other things, that he had “a very hard time after his near-death experience”, which led to him accusing the singer of not having supported him enough. He now regrets those statements.

“Gaga and her team were anything but supportive”

The incident happened in February, when Fischer was walking the dogs and was ambushed by a pair of dog kidnappers. The dogs were stolen and Fischer ended up injured in the hospital. Immediately afterwards, Gaga made a public appeal for her beloved animals to be returned for a high finder’s fee, without asking any further questions. The critters returned home not long after. The singer had nothing but praise for Fischer, especially because the two had not only a business but also a long friendly relationship. However, things went wrong after that.

Fischer set up a GoFundMe campaign to raise just under $35,000 to cover his expenses because he “felt abandoned and unsupported.” “When you go through such a trauma, you blame everything and everyone. Especially the people closest to you. I was depressed and languished in self-pity. When I look back at the video I put online at the time, I see I also know that that’s not okay. I should have handled that differently.”

The former dog walker says Lady Gaga did support him. “She let me stay at her house in the Hollywood Hills because so many media came to me. There I could rest and recover. She also flew in a trauma therapist who worked with me daily. When she was in Italy for filming she sent me balloons every day to cheer me up, until the hospital where I was then was no longer allowed due to fire.”

Fischer’s assistant Elisha Ault has a very different take on the matter. “Gaga and her team were anything but ‘supportive’. They were constantly telling us not to worry about anything, but when I sent them an invoice to pay him for six months because he was injured on the job, I came from a I was told by a text message that they expected to support him financially until three months after the accident. While Ryan was still in full rehab, the plug was pulled. He was shot for protecting her dogs. you can still assume that there is something in return, but that was not the case.”

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.

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

/0 Comments/in , /by

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.

DaBaby Meets With 9 HIV-Awareness Organizations and ‘Apologizes,’ for Making ‘Inaccurate and Hurtful Comments’

/0 Comments/in , /by

When DaBaby took time away from his Rolling Loud 2021 Miami set to unleash a homophobic diatribe against the LGBTQ+ and HIV/AIDS communities, he dug himself a hole. After weeks of apologies that were ignored, DaBaby is taking another step in repairing the harm he caused by apologizing again.

On August 31, Variety revealed that DaBaby had met with a group of nine American HIV organizations who sent him an open letter on August 4 demanding that he meet and talk about facts regarding HIV and hear personal stories from individuals living with the disease. Over 125 groups joined together to back the open letter addressed to Grammy-nominated rapper.

“The open letter to DaBaby was our way to extend him the same grace each of us would hope for,” the group wrote in a press release. “Our goal was to ‘call him in instead of calling him out.’ We believed that if he connected with Black leaders living with HIV that a space for community building and healing could be created. We are encouraged he swiftly answered our call and joined us in a meaningful dialogue and a thoughtful, educational meeting.”

Representatives from Black AIDS Institute, Gilead Sciences COMPASS Initiative Coordinating Centers, GLAAD, National Minority AIDS Council (NMAC), The Normal Anomaly Initiative, Positive Women’s Network-USA, Prevention Access Campaign (U=U), the Southern AIDS Coalition, and Transinclusive Group attended.

The organization wrote that DaBaby was “extremely engaged” in the meeting and apologized for his hurtful comments. The group also credited DaBaby’s great respect for others’ stories, as well as his eagerness to listen to them.

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

Despite the fact that DaBaby’s concerts were canceled several times, he would appear on Hot 97’s Summer Jam stage on August 23 and Boosie Badazz’s Boosie Bash five days later.
