1090 Jake Hit With Snitching Allegations

by

1090 Jake has made a name for himself by exposing alleged “rats,” but it looks like he’s now got some snitching allegations of his own. Earlier this week, a handwritten letter penned by the internet personality while he was behind bars was uncovered. The letter details a prison altercation, and some believe it appears to showcase him telling on his fellow inmate.

Amid the allegations, 1090 Jake went live with No Jumper‘s Riem to defend himself. He explained that he broke down the situation in a YouTube video years ago, adding that he had watched an inmate get beat up by officers in prison.
“This ain’t no new story,” he claims. Several users in the comments section of No Jumper‘s clip of the conversation think that his explanation doesn’t cut it. “A statement is a statement,” one commenter writes, “That’s snitching.” It doesn’t look like the accusations are getting to him, however, and he took to his Instagram Story to share his thoughts.

1090 Jake Discusses Snitching Allegations

1090 Jake reposted a fan’s story that reads, “Writing a grievance is not the same as snitching and if you haven’t been to prison then you wouldn’t know that sh*t. So f*ck all the haters I’m still team @1090_jake they just mad cause he been lifting skirts so all the rats trying to save face.” The internet personality added the caption, “They ain’t been to court nevermind prison,” alongside a laughing emoji. He later joked that he’d be taking a “mental health break” amid the allegations, before posting a clip of himself dancing with the caption “Sikee.”

As of late, 1090 Jake has been beefing with Wack 100, with both of them taking shots at each other online. After a heated phone conversation between them aired on the No Jumper podcast, Jake showcased some photos of Wack posing alongside alleged “snitches” on Instagram. Keep an eye on HNHH for more updates on 1090 Jake.

Halle Bailey Reflects On “Love” For DDG Influencing Her Upcoming EP

by

Halle Bailey says that she’s “in love” with DDG and recently discussed how that experience has inspired her creativity while working on her debut solo EP. Speaking with Cosmopolitan, Bailey hinted at the direction of the new music while confirming that it’s “definitely” dropping this year.

She began by explaining that her recent work in film has served as a major inspiration, having recently starred in The Little Mermaid. From there, she went on to say that her love life has been a major source of creativity as well. “And all musical inspiration really just comes from life experiences,” she said. “Love has been a really big one for me too, because that’s something I’m experiencing for the first time, and it’s, like, ‘whoa’ in your brain. It’s just fireworks, a spark for creativity.”

Bailey then confirmed that she considers DDG her first real love. “You know, you have puppy love experiences, you think that’s love. But this is my first deep, deep, real love,” she said. Despite the inspiration, she says she doesn’t plan on getting too into specifics on the project.

“I don’t really talk about my personal stuff, but I will tell you where I get my creativity from,” she said. “This has been a really beautiful transformative time for me. I have all this new material to write about. It’s like, What the heck did I just experience and go through? A whirlwind of amazingness. You never know what you’re capable of until you’re put through it. I was very creatively inspired, and then from there, I fell in love. And so I really just played with those themes in my music. Sound-wise, it’s a little modern R&B-ish, with all the jazz elements and hints of pop that I love.” Be on the lookout for the new EP later this year.

by

There is more reason to celebrate for A$AP Rocky and Rihanna. The Harlem native could not help but be thankful for a very flattering award he picked up the other night. Flacko was called to attend HFR’s (Harlem’s Fashion Row) 16th Annual Fashion Show & Style Awards on September 5. The ceremony took the time to honor all of the stylistic pioneers of today back in New York. It was also there to recognize the 50th anniversary of hip-hop music.

According to Vibe, Kelly Rowland was also in attendance. She scooped up possibly the biggest award of the night, the Fashion Icon Of The Year. The HFR website lists all of the other five categories. Those included, Stylists Of The Year, Hip Hop Trailblazer Award, Editor Of The Year, Designer Of The Year, and last but not least, the Virgil Abloh Award. TMZ got footage of A$AP Rocky’s acceptance speech and he gave the late great designer and artist all of the praise.

Rocky told the crowd a story of when Virgil began to recognize the A$AP Mob. He says, “Virgil discovered us, A$AP, us as a bunch of kids before I got my record deal.” Furthermore, he goes on to tell how Virgil helped him with the creative process behind his breakout album LONG.LIVE.A$AP. It is a nice moment to see the rapper take this award since the inspiration is strong still to this day. Now, he gets to take home a precious award that remembers a truly great legacy. Additionally, it symbolizes the great relationship Rocky and Abloh shared.

What are your initial thoughts on A$AP Rocky winning the award from Harlem’s Fashion Row (HFR)? Is Rocky deserving of this achievement? Is Virgil Abloh one of the greatest designers/artists ever?

Swedish Gang Members Are Apparently Using Spotify Streams To Launder Money, Somehow

A newspaper in Sweden titled Svenska Dagbladet has recently claimed that gang members are using Spotify as a tool to launder money. The paper had sources of four Swedish gang members and an anonymous police offer.

The laundering is apparently done by converting money into Bitcoin through Facebook, using the cryptocurrency to purchase fake streams for artists tied to the gangs, and then cash out the money made from said streams.

“Spotify has become an ATM for them,” the cop said (via Music Business Worldwide.) “There is a direct connection to the gangs and therefore also to the deadly violence.”

“If you’re a network and you want to attract kids and you have a rapper who’s going big, that’s half the job for you,” he added. “It is very good for recruiting purposes.”

In a recent study from France’s Centre National de Musique, they noted that only 3% of streams across platforms are fake — with MBW noting that this accounts for the ones they actually find. And, considering how little the streaming services pay artists for single streams, it seems difficult to be able to get a large return.

The paper also reached out to Spotify for the chance to comment on the matter. While they declined an interview, a spokesperson did offer a statement.

“We have no evidence that money laundering occurred via Spotify,” they said. “Less than one percent of all streams on Spotify have been determined to be tampered with.”
