Ice Spice’s Manager Drops A Bombshell Following Cleotrapa’s Allegations
Ice Spice’s manager, James Rosemond Jr., has been speaking out on the situation involving Cleotrapa and the Y2K! World Tour on X (formerly Twitter) throughout the day. In one post, he claimed to have spoken with her manager and that he admitted Cleo was in the wrong and blamed himself for the situation. In one statement, Rosemond revealed: “My team spoke to the artist’s mngr this morning & the artist’s mngr said he blames himself becuz he pushed his client to stay becuz it was a great opportunity…but he knows his client is 100% wrong. The mngr realized his client didn’t have the financial backin to be on the tour.”
In another, Rosemond said that it was on Cleo’s manager to set realistic expectations for how the tour would go. “If another bigger artist hit my client & say come on tour w/ her or him w/one day to prepared. As the manager I would advise my client this is risky, I would then connect w/ the other artist’s mgmt & agent immediately to advance logistics to see if it makes sense. To avoid hiccups,” he wrote.

When facing more criticism over the lack of preparation time he and Spice afforded Cleo, Rosemond reiterated: “We gave her opportunity to showcase her talent to all age crowd. She could have said something in the lines of ‘hey this is last minute invite & I won’t come out the next show day but I start on this later tour date so our teams can handle logistics and I can be prepared for it’” In conclusion, he wrote: “I came on here to put a perspective out there. All artists don’t understand the nuances of business. The ins and outs. An artist can talk to another artist direct & offer or extend invitation to an opportunity out of the kindness of their heart… I’m big on fairness & unity, peace & love. Best way to live to sleep at night. But we have to be grateful of opportunities that we get. Sometimes the experience is NOT what we expected & that’s OK. You learn from it & move forward. The public bashing just means therapy is needed.”
Ice Spice’s Manager Speaks Out
Cleo came out with her accusations about mistreatment on the tour on Monday, claiming she was denied food, forced to prepare in bathrooms, and more. Check out the back-and-forth on social media below. Be on the lookout for further updates on Ice Spice and Cleotrapa on HotNewHipHop.

Travis Scott’s ‘DAYS BEFORE RODEO’ Loses No. 1 Spot On ‘Billboard’ 200 Chart To Sabrina Carpenter
Despite unloading several iterations of the project, Travis Scott’s DAYS BEFORE RODEO was unable to secure the top spot on the Billboard 200 chart. Today (Sept. 3), the publication announced that Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet claimed the throne instead.

B.G. & Turk To Put Their Beef Aside Thanks To Lil Wayne In A Surprising Turn Of Events
Lil Wayne has seemingly pulled off the impossible. According to HipHopDX, the Louisiana rapper is hosting another Lil’ Weezyana Fest, this time in New Orleans at the Smoothie King Center on November 2. Tickets are going to go on sale Friday, September 6 at 8 a.m. PT on Ticketmaster. Cash Money label mate Mannie Fresh and Rob49 are two of the night’s performers, with more special guests coming soon. However, easily the biggest storyline from this announcement is the fact that this will be a Hot Boys reunion. That means that B.G. and Turk are supposedly on good terms now.
This is a major plot twist, especially considering just how ugly things were between them. If you remember, the Hot Boys were supposed to link back up at ESSENCE earlier this summer. However, due to some “business issues”, Turk was a no show, prompting B.G. to put him on blast on an Instagram Live. The real reason(s) as to why they were beefing are still unknown, however, when the former responded to the latter’s comments, he was bringing up the fact that he didn’t want to be disrespected.

“Disrespect won’t be tolerated, n****. I don’t give a f*** who a n**** is”. After that, things would heat up even further, with B.G. piling on in an interview saying that no one would care if Turk never returned to Hot Boys. Furthermore, the recently released rapper would go on to diss him on a YouTube exclusive track “Hands Up”. Overall, it still feels like things could take a turn at any minute, but if this remains true, then we are happy to see the Hot Boys getting the band back together.
What are your thoughts on B.G. and Turk seemingly making amends with one another? Do you think this performance at Lil’ Weezyana Fest will go over well? Do you think they will publicly speak about them reuniting? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding B.G., Turk, Lil Wayne, and JUVENILE. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Travis Scott Projected To Land No. 1 Debut On Billboard 200 With ‘Days Before Rodeo’ Project
Several news outlets have confirmed That Travis Scott’s highly anticipated Days Before Rodeo mixtape is slated to take the No. 1 spot on Billboard 200, beating out Sabrina Carpenter’s Short N’ Sweet album for the pole position.
New media reports have Scott’s project sales projected to be 365,000 in the first week while Carpenter’s album is counted at around 354,000.
Neither side knows how this will end even with Travis in the lead, with both artists having heavily pushed deluxe versions, physical copies and extra tracks in order to secure that number 1 spot.
Check out the numbers HERE
Critics, such as rapper turned podcaster Joe Budden, believe that the numbers of Scott’s Days Before Rodeo have been embellished. “Numbers all across the board everywhere else are down,” he said on his podcast. “What YG do, 8,000? Everybody else is between 20 and 30,000. They’re saying that Travis Scott is one of the first examples of the latest trend in music where the artists are signing directly to tech companies. The tech companies are offering different packages. I don’t believe those numbers for a second.”
