Gunna basically invented drip, but his style has been hit-or-miss as of late with fans. Most recently, the Atlanta-bred rapper appeared at New York Fashion Week in a designer outfit, but the way he put the pieces together wasn’t exactly a winner with his followers.
If you look up Gunna’s name on Twitter right now, you’ll find dozens of people going in on the rapper for his latest outfit, which people are not fans of. “Gunna can’t keep getting away with this,” said one popular hip-hop Twitter account. “This man Gunna got albums named after it but got NO drip,” said somebody else. “Once you realize Gunna‘s name is Sergio Giavanni Kitchens, his fits makes sense,” joked another fan.
The general public isn’t alone in absolutely hating Gunna’s outfit from New York Fashion Week. Even his peers, including Joe Budden, are trashing the 28-year-old for his style choices. Budden reposted the photo on his own page and wrote to his followers, advising them to never complain about his own style decisions in the future.
“I’m don’t wanna hear a word about my outfits ever again,” said Joe Budden.
Gunna originally posted the picture with a teaser for his upcoming mixtape, which is a continuation of the Drip Season series, but as it stands, fans are unsure about his level of drip. Do you think Gunna is one of the best-dressed rappers, or could he use a stylist?
Aaliyah tragically passed away at the age of 22 in 2001, and 20 years after her death, her third and final studio album, Aaliyah, will finally be accessible via streaming platforms. Following the re-release of One In A Million in August, Aaliyah’s acclaimed self-titled album is scheduled to hit DSPs this Friday, on September 10.
Aaliyah was originally released in July 2001, just one month prior to the singer’s untimely death, and the now two-times platinum record spawned her hit record “Rock The Boat.“
Other tracks on Aaliyah’s self-titled album include the Timbaland-produced tracks “Try Again” and “We Need a Resolution,” the Static Major-assisted “Loose Rap,” and the timeless ballad “I Care 4 U,” which was one of the most unforgettable collaborations between Aaliyah, Missy Elliot, and Timbaland. As already mentioned, Aaliyah will be available on all streaming services starting this Friday, but if you would like to purchase a physical copy for your personal collection, Blackground Records 2.0 is currently selling CDs, cassettes, and vinyl as well.
In anticipation for the re-release of Aaliyah, Blackground Records 2.0 has also brought back the iconic singer’s original 2001 commercials for the album. Check out the anime-inspired ad below.
I Care 4 U and Ultimate Aaliyah, the two posthumous Aaliyah compilations, will also be releasing at the beginning of October, but for now, be on the lookout for Aaliyah’s self-titled album when it re-releases via Blackground Records 2.0 this Friday.

We are knee-deep into The Mysterious Death of Eazy-E series on WEtv and in a recent episode, a doctor has made some eyebrow-raising statements. In 1995, the Compton rapper was admitted to the hospital after feeling ill. While there, Eazy reportedly discovered he had HIV/AIDS, and within weeks, the N.W.A. icon had passed away.
Unsurprisingly, conspiracy theories have abounded for decades as people have given their takes on what truly happened to the 30-year-old rapper. There have been allegations that he was purposefully injected with the virus while others have stated that he was murdered in the hospital and his death was covered up.
Yet, Dr. Wilbert Jordan told Jasmine Simpkins on the WEtv series that he personally treated two women who contracted HIV after having sex with Eazy-E. “What I’m hearing you say is that as his immune system diminished, the likelihood of him transmitting it to someone increases,” Simpkins said to Dr. Jordan. “The woman that he married was pregnant [and] had a child.”
Tomica Wright reportedly met Eazy-E in 1991 and the couple wed just 12 days before he died in 1995. They had two children together, the youngest being born six months after the rapper passed away. Tomica does not have HIV/AIDS.
“If she’s negative, the baby’s gonna be negative,” said Dr. Jordan. “She’s lucky ’cause she was exposed enough she could have.” Simpkins mentioned that Eazy had “other women in his life,” and Dr. Jordan chimed in to say, “And two of them was my patients.”
“One is still my patient,” he added before clarifying that the other is still alive, as well. Check out the clip from The Mysterious Death of Eazy-Ebelow.
