Chief Keef “Almighty So 2” First Week Sales Numbers Revealed

by

Chief Keef’s Almighty So 2 is one of those rare cases in which a mythical album actually lives up to the hype set by an artist’s die-hards. However, while fans definitely hold him in high regard, the charts are not as forgiving, and thus many were curious as to how the project would perform. As it turns out, Almighty So 2 cracked the Billboard 200’s top 30, and debuted with almost 23,000 units sold in its first week of release. Sure, it’s not a show-stopping performance, but it’s still amazing to see records like that and Knocked Loose’s new album appear alongside chart dominators like Drake’s For All The Dogs and Travis Scott’s UTOPIA.

Furthermore, a lot of Chief Keef fans took to the comments section of the Instagram post below to sing their praises for Almighty So 2. With songs like “Runner,” “Believe,” “Neph Nem,” and “Grape Trees,” there’s plenty of quality to go around and enough moments of levity to break up the relentless bangers. There hasn’t really been one particular hit off of the album, but most of the tracklist is getting its due flowers. Even if it doesn’t go up commercially from here, we’re sure that it will stay in listeners’ rotation for 2024.

Chief Keef’s Almighty So 2‘s First Week Sales

Elsewhere, Almighty So 2 arrived amid a bit of a career renaissance for Chief Keef, whose strong bond with the likes of Sexyy Red further cements himself as a legend that the new generation looks up to. He’s been a legend for years now, but now that we have a project worthy of that title after 4NEM a couple of years ago, it’s that much more pronounced. Maybe this is something that Sosa will continue to capitalize on throughout the year. Or should we say, hopefully.

Meanwhile, what did you think of Chief Keef’s Almighty So 2 and its commercial performance? Let us know down in the comments section below and check out our list of the seven best beats on the album. With a tour this year garnering a lot of hype, these live renditions might inject even more life into the project. Let’s see how that fares, and what else is in store for an amazing year for the Glo Gang boss.

Billie Eilish Parties To Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” Drake Diss

by

It seems like, after her listening party for her new album HIT ME HARD AND SOFT, Billie Eilish went out to have a great time with some friends. Inadvertently (and unsurprisingly, given that it’s the number one song in the U.S. right now), she then “took a side” in the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef, as she partied to the latter’s “Not Like Us” diss track against the former. It’s a small clip and just one of some friends hanging out, but people will probably still make their assumptions and jokes about the whole endeavor. Even some OVO die-hards out there can’t deny that this cut might have a longer shelf life than the average diss track.

Still, this development is particularly interesting because of the history between Billie Eilish and Drake in particular. For those unaware, she had revealed that they texted each other when she was still underage, and then defended The Boy against criticism insinuating an inappropriate relationship or advance. “The Internet is such a stupid-a** mess right now,” the Los Angeles artist told Vogue. “Everybody’s so sensitive. A grown man can’t be a fan of an artist? There are so many people that the Internet should be more worried about. Like, you’re really going to say that Drake is creepy because he’s a fan of mine, and then you’re going to go vote for Trump? What the f**k is that s**t?”

Billie Eilish Vibes Out To “Not Like Us”

Millie Bobby Brown, who Drake also had text message exchanges with, expressed a similar sentiment when he faced scrutiny for this before the Billie Eilish situation. Of course, this all carries a different context now with the Kendrick Lamar beef in mind, and especially with a song that makes such heavy accusations in as catchy of a way as “Not Like Us” does. While we probably won’t hear a specific statement from Billie Eilish on that anytime soon, it would also be unfair to just assume her feelings based on what a DJ put on at a function.

Meanwhile, “Not Like Us” continues to impress both critically and commercially, so it’s likely that Billie Eilish will hear it at least a couple more times while on a night out. Perhaps that’s the biggest oddity about the Kendrick Lamar and Drake battle’s fallout: seeing the rest of the industry react or shy away. Maybe there isn’t much to break down here. But as we wait to see if this is really the end, we can’t imagine how this wouldn’t be a big point of context for fans of either side as their careers move forward this year, and the next one, and the next one.

It’s no secret that there’s a lot going on in the world of Ice Spice at the moment. The Bronx-born baddie is currently in the process of readying her upcoming debut album, for one, Y2K. The project doesn’t have an official release date yet, though she did give her supporters a taste of what’s to come with a new track last week. The Sean Paul-sampling single, “Gimmie A Light,” arrived alongside a fun smoke-themed music video, and left listeners impressed.

While it remains unclear exactly when fans will get to hear the entirety of Y2K, Ice Spice is keeping her followers entertained in the meantime with various social media updates and interviews. In a recent conversation with Zane Lowe for Apple Music’s New Music Daily, for example, she revealed what inspired the album. According to the rapper, her mother’s aesthetic growing up was the perfect blueprint. “I’d see her really embody the Y2K aesthetic in its truest form,” she explained. “It’s duck nails, it’s a tramp stamp. It’s brown lip liner no matter where you go.”

Kim Porter’s Alleged Friend Kola Boof Claims Pneumonia Can Be “Faked So Easily”

by

Yesterday, CNN exclusively released some disturbing footage of Diddy and his ex-girlfriend Cassie, which has since gone viral. In the footage, the Bad Boy Records founder seemingly kicks the songstress after pulling her to the ground at a hotel in 2016, then attempts to drag her back to his room. He’s yet to address the graphic footage, though Cassie’s lawyer Douglas H. Wigdor issued a statement shortly after it surfaced. “The gut-wrenching video has only further confirmed the disturbing and predatory behavior of Mr. Combs,” he said via email. “Words cannot express the courage and fortitude that Ms. Ventura has shown in coming forward to bring this to light.”

As the footage made its rounds online, a post by Sudanese author, poet, and activist Kola Boof started to trend on Twitter/X. In her post, Boof alleged that she was a friend of Diddy’s ex-partner Kim Porter before her 2018 passing. She made various shocking claims about Porter and Diddy’s relationship, accusing him of multiple forms of abuse.

Kola Boof Accuses Diddy Of Abusing Kim Porter

Boof also went on to insinuate that Diddy could have allegedly had something to do with Porter’s death. Two months after her passing, the Los Angeles Coroner’s Office confirmed that Porter died from pneumonia. There have since been countless conspiracy theories accusing Diddy of being involved in her unexpected death, which are all completely unconfirmed.

“Pneumonia can be faked so easily by a Doctor or by The Morgue,” Boof wrote. “Please read up on this. She was about to turn in a book she wrote about her life & she suddenly DIES at just 47.” What do you think of Kola Boof insinuating that Diddy could have allegedly had something to do with Kim Porter’s untimely death? What about her accusing him of abusing the late model throughout their relationship? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.
