Young Thug Denied Dissing Saweetie On ‘Business Is Business’ By Clarifying The Lyric In Question

by

Given his current legal affairs, Young Thug’s ability to speak directly with his fan base is limited. However, the “Parade On Cleveland” rapper has nothing but space and opportunity to get several messages out via his new album, Business Is Business. After the initial excitement of the project wore off, fans began to take a deep dive into the lyrics speculating that his former friend Gunna wasn’t the only one to be dissed on a track (although he wasn’t a target either).

Several supporters jumped onto social media to accuse Young Thug of dissing Saweetie on his track “Want Me Dead,” which features 21 Savage. The lyric in question reads, “My n**** ain’t even tryna hit sweetie / That b*tch turn me off, no kizzy.” While Young Thug is not above being shady on a record, he ensured this wasn’t one of those instances.

To make it crystal clear, Young Thug took to Twitter to deny dissing Saweetie but also took it a step further to clarify that stanza. “Her name is Saweetie. I said, sweetie. #BusinessIsBusiness,” wrote the entertainer.

Young Thug, for context in another tweet, wrote, “Also, that song is 6 years old,” to nip the rumor in the bud.

Listen to the track above.

Business Is Business is out now via 300 Entertainment/Atlantic Records. Find more information here.

Jim Jones Hit The Streets Of Harlem To Deliver A Diss Track In Response To Pusha T’s Shots At Him

by

Latto told her haters to put it on the floor. But when it comes to the sizzling beef between Jim Jones and Pusha T, they’d instead put it on a beat. In response to the latest round of shoots, Jim Jones hit the streets of his hometown, Harlem, New York, to deliver yet another diss track to Pusha T’s shots at him.

What started over a simple matter of opinion, when Jones stated that he didn’t feel that Pusha T wasn’t one of the 50 greatest rappers of all time, has turned into a musical feud that won’t die out. On Jim Jones’ new diss, “Summer Collection,” he aimed not only at Pusha T but also his brother No Malice.

In one of the track’s opening punches, Jones rapped, “Y’all n****s don’t know what to do in a raid / Kanye gave y’all whips, but that’s what they do to the slaves,” a cleverly worded double entendre referencing both the brutality of chattel slavery as well as Pusha T’s business dealings with Ye and his record label G.O.O.D. Music.

Jones is letting it be known that he wasn’t a fan of the jabs Pusha T threw during the Louis Vuitton fashion show by poking fun at Pusha’s style. “You be dressing kinda weird man you really need a stylist/Plus we all know what you identify with / Plus you kinda, sorta dress, n***a, you been a fly b*tch/And then he said I was trying to chase a feature / N***a’s a gorilla cause he got some apes in his features/All my gorillas got stones, I’ll have these apes come and meet you,” rapped Jones.

Before the song ends, Jones is sure to take a dig at Pusha T’s brother and Clipse member, spitting, “Plus, you got your brother rappin’ / What you tryna bring the Clipse back? / Speaking of your brother, what happened to that boy? / It looks like they’ve been selling crack to the boy.” Jones must’ve figured that if Pusha T can mention Drake’s young son in his 2018 diss “The Story of Adidon,” then his adult brother and fellow rapper is up for decision.

Megan Thee Stallion Rocks A Bikini In New NSFW TikTok

by

Megan Thee Stallion has fans stunned by her latest TikTok. She’s seen rocking a tiny, neon bikini while she dances for the camera to her song “Body.” It’s clear that Megan has been feeling herself as of late, which fans can attribute to the time she’s been taking to heal. Last month, the artist spoke with InStyle, revealing that fans can expect to hear new music following her self-care era.

“Fans can expect new music when I’m in a better place,” she told the outlet, “Right now, I’m focused on healing.” She elaborated, revealing that her icon status can be taxing at times. “The music and entertainment industry can be a grind, so it’s important to take time off and avoid burning out,” the rapper insists, “Life is all about balance.” She did, however, perform at LA Pride earlier this month, serving fans hits like “Body” and “WAP.”

Megan Thee Stallion took to TikTok again earlier this week to share a vlog with fans. “Y’all miss me? Don’t ask me ’bout no dang music [right now] lol,” she captioned the post. Followers see the star heading to the spa, hitting the gym, buying a Birkin, and more. She later attended Pharrell’s debut runway show as Men’s Creative Director of the brand. “So anyways, I went to the show and this ni**a look like a scammer,” she joked to fans in the vlog.

Tory Lanez, who’s currently awaiting sentencing for his part in Megan Thee Stallion’s shooting, filed a motion to have the judge disqualified in May. Lanez and his defense team accused the judge, David Herriford, of showing favoritism to the prosecution. His team’s request was denied earlier this month. His sentencing was scheduled for June 13, but it’s been postponed to August 7. The rapper is currently looking at potentially serving over 22 years in prison for his part in the case.

Prosecutors Allege Quando Rondo Told Affiliates To Get Their Guns After Seeing His Opps

by

Prosecutors have claimed in court that Quando Rondo called on his affiliates to get their guns after seeing his opps at a movie theater. The state is arguing that they shouldn’t release the rapper on bond following his arrest on drug charges. DJ Akademiks shared a clip of the prosecution’s comments on Instagram, Sunday.

All-in-all, Rondo has been charged with two counts of conspiracy to violate Georgia’s controlled substances law, one count of participating in criminal activity affiliated with a street gang, and one count of illegal use of a cell phone to facilitate a drug deal.

In Rondo’s defense, his attorney, Jonah Pine, argued that his client belongs to “one of the greatest record labels in this country” and that they’re willing to speak up for him. “He’s got the support of one of the greatest record labels in this country,” Pine said. “The same record label as Led Zepplin and Ray Charles, that’s his label. They’ve provided a letter to us, it’s very heartfelt and talks about his career.”

On the other hand, the prosecution argues that Rondo is a top figure in the Rollin’ 60s gang and is dangerous to the public. “The Rollin’ 60s are currently one of the largest and most violent street gangs in Savannah. That man is a leader of it. That is a dangerous community,” said state attorney Christian Stolfe.

Antonio Brown Explains Viral Gold Grill Photo From Central Michigan

by

Antonio Brown has explained the background to the viral photo of himself flexing his golden grill while at the University of Central Michigan. Brown says that the photographer told him not to smile and that, in response, he shot back the meanest mug he could. Brown discussed the picture while appearing on Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill’s podcast, It Needed To Be Said.

“I had a permanent grill at the bottom, 8-pack and I just smiled, and the dude said, [Don’t smile],” said Brown. “So he pi**ed me off so much I gave him the meanest mug I could give him. I was really trying to scare him.”

Brown continued: “We had just won the championship, too, in 2007 for the school. So for me, I wanted to really put some swag in the picture. I had the pork chops. You know, I couldn’t really get a full beard at the time. So I had to give him a cr*zy mug like.”

Brown attended Central Michigan from 2007–2009. Elsewhere in the interview with Hill, Brown discussed his final game with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He infamously stormed off the field in the middle of the third quarter without explanation.

Antonio Brown Explains The Viral Photo

“We (were) about to play the Jets and I am already hurt,” Brown said. “So I took pictures to send to the coach and told him ‘Look, If we’re going to win the Super Bowl I’m going to need to take these last two weeks to recover up so I can give you my best when we go to win the Super Bowl,’ but the coach called me saying that I wasn’t resting. So then Tom (Brady) called me and told me he’d hit me with 10-12 (passes), so he gassed me up, and that’s all I needed to hear. But you know as a player, if you f***ing up but your team needs you then you just suck it up for the game and for the team. I already know they were being fake to me the whole time I was there. I got suspended (for breaking Covid-19 rules) and I came back and they had some guys hurt, so they wanted to get everything out of me — they treated me like I’m a dog.”
