Jim Jones Claims That He’s ‘Solely Responsible’ For Kid Cudi’s Career
At the end of 2020, Kid Cudi released the seventh album in his decade-long career with Man On The Moon III: The Chosen. It’s a career that first gained steam back in 2008 after the success of “Day N Nite,” Cudi’s breakout single. The record originally appeared on his 2008 mixtape A Kid Named Cudi before it was later added to his 2009 debut album Man On The Moon: The End Of Day. “Day N Nite” would also go on to peak at No. 3 on the singles chart. As history and Cudi himself tell it, many of us have credited Kanye West with helping Cudi rise to fame. However, Jim Jones claims that the credit is all his.
In a recent interview with VIP Saturdays on Sirius XM, Jim Jones spoke about being the first big-name artist to appear on “Day N Nite.” Jones also spoke about his first meeting with Cudi. “Kid Cudi was nobody,” Jim Jones said. “He worked in a f*cking store under Koch Records. I was signed to Koch Records. I didn’t even know Kid Cudi worked down there.” He added, “Lisa Brunt’s nephew at the time was doing some work for me in my studio, and he’s like, ‘Yo, I manage these video directors, and I want them to shoot a video for you,’ and sh*t like that. I’m like, ‘Show me the video.’ They showed me the video, ended up being a Kid Cudi video that they shot for free for him.”
Jones continued, “They’re like ‘This is the kid that works in the f*cking rock-n-roll store under Koch. They just did it for him,’ and I was like, ‘Give me the record, and I’ll let y’all shoot me a video.’ They got me the record, they shot the video.”
Jones was then asked how the version of him on “Day N Nite” ended up on HOT 97’s radio airwaves and why he was eventually removed from the song.
“I put it on YouTube. Somebody at Hot97 ripped it off of YouTube and started playing it at Hot97. When he got his deal, they took me off the record and went for ads without me on the record. DJ Cassidy did that, you dig. You know I bumped into him, but that’s my man, though. It’s always a joke, though, but it happens like that. I’m solely responsible for Kid Cudi’s career. You can go tell him that, and he’s going to tell you, ‘He’s right.’”

Gina Hunyh Apologized To Cassie For Allegedly Cheating With Diddy
Their relationship came to a screeching halt in 2018, but for 11 years, Cassie and Diddy were one of Hip Hop’s most (seemingly) stable relationships. The Bad Boy mogul and the songbird were photographed together on red carpets around the world and she had even been signed to his label, but the pair surprised fans when they announced that their romance had ended. By the conclusion of that year, Cassie shared that she moved on with Alex Fine, and by 2019, the new couple was expecting their first child.
Now married to Fine with two young children, Cassie has obviously moved on with her life, but her time with Diddy was once again revisited by the Rap icon’s “friend,” Gina Huynh. The apparent on-again-off-again situationship involving Diddy and Gina resurfaced following her spat with Yung Miami, and now Gina tells TheJasmineBrand that she cheated with Diddy while he was with Cassie.
Gina began by saying that she always told herself that she would never “mess with a guy with a girlfriend,” but after meeting Diddy, “he was so charming.”
“I just kinda fell for it,” she added. “I was young, naive about it. Didn’t know no better. It was enticing. It was very tempting to like—and it was also hard not to. And, um, I do feel bad, though. You know? ‘Cause I’m a girly girl, I’m for the girls, I’m woman empowerment and I want to stand for that. I apologized to her afterwards.”
Gina specified that she did speak with Cassie after the singer’s relationship with Diddy ended. “‘Cause deep down, I do feel bad, I was so crazy in love and it was just hard to…I just could not not talk to him. It was really, really hard.” Check it out below.
Adam22 & “Island Boys” Star FlyySoulja Get Into Heated Exchange: “You Inbred F*ck”
Through his time in the industry, there have been plenty of people who have had issues with No Jumper‘s Adam22. He’s commented on controversial moments in Hip Hop and pop culture on not only his podcast but others, as well, and it has often caused backlash from those being mentioned. Adam’s confrontation with Dame Dash has been well-documented with the two men even coming together for a face-to-face discussion. This time, however, it isn’t Dame who has taken issue with Adam, but one of the “Island Boys” rappers who is apparently upset by something Adam said on a podcast.
It looks like FlyySoulja slid into Adam’s DMs and the two engaged in a heated exchange. “Don’t talk about me if you don’t got nothing nice to say,” the Florida rapper told Adam. “And you said I’m clueless.”

“Have you seen how I’m built I actually work out go to the gym you know?” Flyy continued. Adam seemed confused. “Huh,” he said. “1) I will whoop the dog sh*t out of you and make you look like a child and 2) what I say.”
Then, FlyySoulja sent a voice message to which Adam replied, “You gotta be kidding me. You ain’t made enough cameo money to fight me [crying laughing emojis] you gotta fight house phone [crying laughing emojis].” After FlySoulja continued to send voice messages, Adam let him know he wouldn’t be listening to any of them.
“Not sure what I said that made you upset but stop acting tough you are a b*tch FACT… Not listening to those. learn to type you inbred f*ck.” FlyySoulja wasn’t deterred. Check it out below.

Pharrell Williams Is Also Annoyed By His Song ‘Happy’
For those who aren’t fond of Pharrell Williams‘ hit single “Happy,” you may have something in common with the artist himself. Williams admits the song annoys him too.
The song was originally released in 2013 as part of the soundtrack for Despicable Me 2. It reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart the following year on Williams’ second studio album, Girl. But almost a decade after the song’s release, several Twitter users have said that they don’t care for the song.
“No song annoyed me like Happy by Pharrell did,” said Twitter user @javroar. Williams quote-replied to the tweet saying, “Same.”

“Happy” was one of the biggest hits of 2014, largely in part to the song’s 24-hour music video. When speaking of the video’s creation in a 2013 interview with NPR, Williams said, “We kind of gotta do it ’cause the premise was perfect with the song, ‘Happy,’ and if we can help people rediscover happiness within themselves — and notice, we’re not trying to make anyone happy, we’re just trying to, like I said, help people rediscover it within themselves.”
Despite Williams’ intent to help the listener rediscover happiness, it is clear by the general consensus that the song largely had the opposite effect.

Candace Owens Congratulates Johnny Depp, Uses His Win To Bash #MeToo
The cult-like fascination with the Johnny Depp v. Amber Heard case has taken a new turn now that a verdict has been rendered. Both Depp and Heard sued one another for defamation after making public allegations that they were abusive to each other. Depp filed a $50 million lawsuit against his ex-wife after she wrote an op-ed piece about him for The Washington Post, detailing allegations of violence. Heard countersued the Pirates of the Caribbean actor and it seems that a jury sided with both parties, albeit Depp has taken home a larger monetary judgment.
Depp was awarded $15 million while Heard received $2 million, and this verdict has caused an uproar on the internet. Although this has been a case fraught with allegations of domestic violence and sexual abuse, the public has reacted as if this were a season of its favorite television show.

Following the news of the jury’s ruling, controversial political commentator Candace Owens took to her Instagram Story to fire off a message about the #MeToo movement.
“Congratulations to Johnny Depp for being the first man in recent history to win against a toxic, lying, mentally unstable female who used the #MeToo movement to advance her career,” she wrote. “Also, congratulations to every woman in the world who never bent to the #MeToo peer pressure campaign, and always acknowledged that yes, women lie too.”
“So congratulations to me!! For being right again. Even though it was popular to believe Amber Heard in the beginning, and I was attacked for refusing to. Women lie. Men lie. Facts do not. Believe facts.”
