Meek Mill Doubles Down On His Kendrick Lamar Versus Drake Stance

Meek Mill is one of many artists who have given their take on the Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef without outright participating in it, which is honestly harder than it sounds. After all, most people remember Rick Ross’ hilarious IG roasts of The Boy more than they do his “Champagne Moments” diss track. Nevertheless, Meek’s never been one to take either side ever since “Like That” dropped, instead choosing to praise both artists. “Nah I f**k with drake he cool,” he responded to a fan’s inquiry on Friday (September 20). “Him and Kendrick beef has nothing to do with me I fw k dot too I have all their disses on my playlist right now.”

Of course, this is pretty ironic given Meek Mill’s squashed beef with Drake and his place among the ten rappers that Kendrick Lamar competitively challenged on “Control” 11 years ago. But as he indicated in this latest tweet, he’s just a fan of the back-and-forth hip-hop displays that these two rivals engaged in this year, dropping freestyles of his own for both “euphoria” and “Family Matters.”

But as you probably already know, Meek Mill’s social media presence became much more notable in past months for reasons completely unrelated to the Kendrick Lamar and Drake battle. His alleged connection to the Diddy scandal, whether as an alleged victim or alleged participant, resulted in a lot of jokes, jabs, and attacks that came his way online. “I will personally give you a million dollars if these stories add up in anything weird …” the Philly rapper tweeted frustratedly on Thursday night (September 19). “it’s 2 things we can’t do in the trenches … it’s no way yall know what type of man I am. #cybertruck at 12 tap in lil buddy!”

Meanwhile, as for the Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef, it looks like Meek Mill and the rest of us can finally deem it dead and buried. Now, most of the conversation that puts them in opposition to each other revolves around K.Dot’s Super Bowl halftime show and whether or not this was a direct jab at Young Money. But as far as the bars that Meek and so many of us love, there are no Round 2s.

TiaCorine Is Erratic & Expressive On “Different Color Stones”

Someone who’s never going to hide their idiosyncratic and bubbly personality is TiaCorine. It comes off in such a genuine way that it makes her feel more relatable compared to a lot of her femcee contemporaries. It’s not necessarily something you need to have to be a successful artist, but a lot of listeners listen to music to find someone who they can say they share things with. She just happens to possess that ability, and it helps her stand out from the rest of the pack. We also think it’s really been helping her expand her career outlook and brand, as 2024 has perhaps been the North Carolina native’s biggest year yet.

In these first nine months, TiaCorine has worked some pretty impressive talent. Luh Tyler, Denzel Curry and A$AP Ferg, Key Glock, Zelooperz, and Rich Brian are just a few of them. In addition to her collaboration run, she put out a new EP called Almost There. With a title like that, we could be in for a LP in the near future. Especially since her last project was 2022’s I Can’t Wait. It’s been a little bit of time also since her last solo release, but today, that all changes. TiaCorine is already generating buzz in these first few hours of “Different Color Stones” being out thanks to her off-the-wall vocal performance. She experiments with different voices ranging from cutsy and melodic, to unhinged TiaCorine is doing it all. Lyrically there isn’t anything too interesting going on, but her incredible personality makes up for a lot of its shortcomings.

ASAP Rocky Out Of iHeartRadio Festival After Contracting Illness

ASAP Rocky announced on Thursday that he will no longer be performing at this weekend’s iHeartRadio Music Festival 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada. “UNFORTUNATELY, I ENDED UP GETTING SICK & I WON’T BE ABLE TO PERFORM AT THE @iheartfestival. IM SORRY TO MY FANS & THANKFUL TO @iheartradio FOR THE OPPORTUNITY!” he wrote on his Instagram story. “I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO PERFORMING SOME NEW MUSIC FOR YALL! ENJOY THE SHOW THE LINE UP IS [three fire emojis].”

ASAP Rocky was set to headline the festival on Saturday evening. Though he’s no longer performing, the event still boasts a star-studded lineup. The Weeknd, Dua Lipa, Doja Cat, Big Sean, and Paramore are among the names scheduled. Rocky’s replacement has not been named, though an educated guess will probably lead fans to believe either The Weeknd or Doja Cat will step in at the top of the bill.

ASAP Rocky Pulls Out Of iHeartRadio Music Festival, No Replacement Named Yet

The “new music” that ASAP Rocky promised to perform during his set may have been from his upcoming album DON’T BE DUMB, which he delayed at the beginning of last month. The album, which is six years in the making, was originally supposed to drop on August 30. However, it is now without a hard release date. Rocky cited the years of leaks as the main reason the album got pushed back. However, he also confirmed that it is still planned for a 2024 release.

In the meantime, ASAP Rocky has released some new music. He released the music video for “Tailor Swif,” a track that leaked a while back but became a fan favorite. He also dropped “Ruby Rosary,” an Alchemist-produced cut that features a strong J. Cole verse on the back half. It is not immediately clear if either track will make the final album, but they’ve kept fans happy during what is hopefully the home stretch of Rocky’s tumultous rollout.

Rich Homie Quan’s Girlfriend Posts Heartbreaking Tribute After Funeral Service

After Rich Homie Quan’s funeral service on Tuesday (September 17), his longtime girlfriend Amber Williams took to Instagram a couple of days later on Friday to post another tribute to his memory. “This has to be the toughest thing I’ve ever endured,” she captioned the post. “Don’t even know how to gather my words. When I met you I had no idea how our life was gonna change for the good. You got locked up & that time apart brought us closer. Fast forward, on the rise of your career I knew what I signed up for. No one could tell me anything about you, I wasn’t going for it. Support is an understatement!

“I’m still gonna go hard for you til this day,” Williams continued in her caption of a photo dump with Rich Homie Quan. “Never had anything hit me this close. I did all I could to make you smile despite what we’ve been through it taught me to be stronger. All this time I thought I was strong but this got me weak. Our boys worship the ground you walked on. Feel like someone ripped my heart out of my chest.

“You worked your a** off & I finally convinced you that we need to start vacationing in which we did,” Williams said of Rich Homie Quan. “Always made sure you be an active father to all your kids. I couldn’t treat you like an artist because you’re still human. My 1st love & my last. I can’t question God but I can call on him just like I could call on you. You had so much more to do but it’s on us to keep your name alive. I’m hurt, devastated, numb, angry, disappointed, just flat out numb. I do know one thing for certain is that I gave you your flowers while you were here with us & I did my part!

“Idk if I’ll ever be okay!” Williams concluded. “No matter what it was we never spent holidays & birthdays without each other. You’re truly missed & loved by us all. Nothing could define us, nothing could stop us but this hit me where it hurts the most. I love you. can’t nobody tell me how to grieve or cope with this! Just want peace, you would always say ‘until death do us part’ but this was way too soon!”
Rest In Peace Rich Homie Quan.

Diddy’s Son King Combs Parties With Girlfriend Raven Tracy After Father’s Arrest

Diddy’s family is undoubtedly going through a lot right now. Earlier this week, the Bad Boy Records founder was arrested in New York City following months of shocking allegations and lawsuits. According to TMZ, he was charged with “racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, and transportation to engage in prostitution.” If found guilty, he could face a minimum of 15 years or a maximum of life in prison.

Despite the seriousness of his father’s current legal issues, Diddy’s son Christian “King” Combs was recently spotted with his girlfriend. He came out to support her at an event for her brand, Body by Raven Tracy. The two of them appeared to be in good spirits, with Tracy penning a heartfelt message about her partner on her Instagram Story shortly after.

“Yall know i love my man i love my man i love my man,” she wrote. “Don’t f*ckin play wit me.” Tracy also shared various photos of the two of them together, with King looking relatively unfazed. The photos arrive just after King’s publicist Linda Luna found herself in a great deal of backlash for her response to Diddy’s arrest.

“This Diddy controversy is truly so unfortunate,” her statement, shared on Facebook began. “I work with his son Christian as his publicist in the music area and I have worked with Justin too. I’ve been around Diddy many times. I’ve been to his parties and after-parties and I’ve never seen what they are claiming. But, I do feel like maybe he was trying to change over the past year, but it seems like it was too late and his past transgressions have come to light and now he has to face the consequences.” What do you think of King Combs supporting his girlfriend Raven Tracy at her brand event after his father Diddy’s arrest?

6ix9ine Hit With Revenge Porn, Abuse & Assault Accusations From Ex-Girlfriend In New Lawsuit

Despite continued success, 6ix9ine continues to get more bad news his way, and this one is a really nasty and serious issue. His ex girlfriend, Yailín La Más Viral, reportedly sued him with a laundry list of accusations, according to supposed court documents reportedly obtained by TMZ. Moreover, the specific allegations are as follows. Yailín (real name Jorgina Lulu Guillermo Díaz) claims that the rapper (real name Daniel Hernández) has a long history of inflicting physical, sexual, emotional, and financial abuse on her, as well as publishing revenge porn of her on social media after they broke up in August of this year.

Furthermore, Yailín La Más Viral claims that 6ix9ine consistently abused her, drugged her, and stole hundreds of thousands of dollars from her for his own luxury gains. In addition, she accused him of manipulating her into getting plastic surgery and other cosmetic modifications that she didn’t want through shame and coercion. Yailin’s overall narrative is one of the New York MC’s alleged psychological, physical, and industry-related exertion of power over her in order to gain resources from her and keep her in a frightful position through drugs and a lack of independence.

According to Yailín, she ended the relationship this August once she learned of 6ix9ine’s alleged fraud and robbery, which is when she claims he posted explicit pictures videos of her online on Twitter without her consent. While the posts are no longer up, she expressed in the suit that she still suffers from emotional harm and seeks over $1 million in damages, plus for the court to eliminate his ability to propagate more revenge porn.

All that jewelry is mine …” 6ix9ine stated to TMZ about Yailín’s accusations, expressing shock that she allegedly betrayed him with accusations that he claims are totally false after he helped her out when she had no money. “That car she’s riding in I bought. The penthouse shoe [sic] got in the Dominican Republic I bought … I took care of her family, daughter – when I met her she had 2 month old baby – I put pampers and food on the table for them.”

DaBaby Leaves Off Two-Pack Of “Did It” & “Can’t Keep Keisha” Amid New Project Announcement

Let’s gooo”, is what a lot of DaBaby fans have to be saying right now because he’s got a new tape on the way. Just several hours ago, the Cleveland born, Charlotte bred rapper made this big announcement on his Instagram account. “HOW TF IS THIS A MIXTAPE?” 💣💿 GOOD DOPE SELL ITSELF😤 NEXT FRIDAY. 14 HITS.” A gift before the album 🔥 Oh yea… “CAN’T KEEP KEISHA” out now bae. 🖤”, DaBaby adds. “Threw another lil surprise out today too. LETS FLOOD. NEXT WEEK WE GO CRAZY 💨”.

What this essentially all means is that DaBaby is going to be dropping HOW TF IS THIS A MIXTAPE? next Friday, September 27. There’s going to be 14 new songs, with two of them out now. They include “Can’t Keep Keisha” and “Did It”. With this two-pack, you are getting some duality. On the former, you are getting some more introspective and personal bars about family and love. DaBaby also tries to sing some of the chorus, which comes across just as how you might expect. However, we can appreciate the delivery switch up. Then, on the latter, you’ll hear more traditional DaBaby which is that aggressive, Pit bull-like demeanor over a booming trap instrumental.

If they with me and they standin’ on business, I’ll stand in front of that
That’s the type of man I am
I’ma keep on goin’ through hell and back to be a family man (N****)
You play with my family, you get whacked, I’ll shoot your cameraman (N****)
I’ve been around the world, I’m talkin’ from Hong Kong to Amsterdam (N****)

SOCIALizing: Nicki Minaj Shades Atlantic Records Layoffs: “UPS is Hiring”

image

Nicki Minaj took her pettiness to new heights. The Pink Friday rapper gave zero F’s when she took to social media on Thursday (Sept. 19) to clown the recent layoffs of staffers at Atlantic Records.

Get this, Minaj’s longtime rival Cardi B is signed there, along with several other artists. Notably Cardi usually doesn’t express much love for her label so not sure if it was a shot at Cardi or not.

Anyways, in a post on X (formerly Twitter), Minaj wrote, “Dear fired executives & A&Rs: Don’t be mad, UPS is hiring,” while also promoting her own record label, Heavy On It. She followed up with another jab, stating, “They’ve been wanting empty arenas so bad. Obsessed with me while all your friends r getting fired is nasty work.”

ICYMI, these remarks came shortly after the announcement of significant layoffs at Atlantic Records and its sister label 300 Elektra, as part of a larger restructuring effort across the music industry. Warner Music Group, Atlantic’s parent company, had already seen the departure of high-ranking executives, including Julie Greenwald, who stepped down as chairwoman in August, and Kevin Liles, who left 300 Elektra earlier this month.

Here’s how they gave the staff the bad news. In an internal memo, Atlantic Music Group CEO Robert Kyncl addressed the layoffs, saying, “As part of this reorganization, we will unfortunately be saying goodbye to talented people.” He expressed gratitude for the contributions of departing staff, adding, “You’ve made an indelible mark on this company and the careers of the extraordinary artists you’ve championed.”

What’s more, several key executives from 300 Elektra, including Margo Scott (EVP/general counsel), Chris Brown (EVP), Katie Robinson (head of marketing), and Adam Abramson (sales/streaming chief), are among those impacted by the restructuring.

Petty season is here. We thought it was spooky season. Guess not.
