Big Sean Emphasized The Importance Of Educating The Youth About Mental Health

For the past few years, Big Sean has increased his activism for mental health awareness. The Detroit native has experienced his own issues, which he opened up about shortly after the 2020 release of his album Detroit 2. Now, more than eight months later, Sean once again spoke about the topic during a recent sit-down with Apple Music’s Ebro Darden.

The interview is a part of the Apple Music host’s series The Message, and when the subject of mental health awareness came up, Sean explained why it is important to teach the youth about it. “It really needs to be just like how they teach us about STDs and sex in health class,” Sean said. “They need to make sure they teach us about how to deal with anxiety or how to breathe properly and all of that. It all should be together, because it’s all connected. It’s not like the head is separate from anything, it’s all together.”

As for the music side of things, Sean recently joined Sada Baby and Hit-Boy to throw a mansion party in the video for their new track, “Little While.”

Sada Baby is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Nicki Minaj Celebrates The History-Making Success Behind Her Re-Released Mixtape ‘Beam Me Up Scotty’

Nicki Minaj went more than a year without new music. Thankfully, that changed earlier this month when the rapper uploaded her beloved 2009 mixtape Beam Me Up Scotty to streaming services, even adding three new songs to it. One of the new additions, “Seeing Green,” found the stars of the original Young Money crew — Drake, Lil Wayne, and Minaj herself — reuniting for the first time in nearly three years. The re-release debuted at No. 2 on the Billbaord 200 and became the highest-charting re-released mixtape by a rapper and the highest-debuting female rap mixtape in history.

After hearing of the album’s newfound success, Minaj took to Instagram to celebrate. “I love you guys so much,” she wrote to her fans. “Thank you. Can’t wait to share my album with you real soon. I have to say this. Don’t care who takes it the wrong way.” She then went on throw some shade at those who used TikTok challenges and merch bundles to boost their sales.

Beam Me Up Scotty no singles ‘Seeing Green’ is over 5 mins with no hook,” she wrote, “Singles now are 2-3 mins, catchy hook. ‘Fractions’ is just rapping for over 3 mins, no hook. No videos (which is always the biggest push for females, myself included). No RADIO, very little play listing due to a surprise release (artists get over 100 playlists for big launches).” She continued, “No TikTok challenges (which has become EXTREMELY helpful to all artists) love the app, btw. No merch to tie into sales AND NO PRE-EXISTING singles out to ADD to my FIRST WEEK SALES.”

Beam Me Up Scotty is out on all DSPs via Republic Records. Get it here.

T.I. & Tiny Drama: Sabrina Peterson Suggests She Will Drop Lawsuit

The friendship between T.I., Tiny, and Sabrina Peterson was once a close bond, but we all watched in real-time as their relationship dissolved. Months ago, Peterson appeared online with scathing accusations against the Hip Hop couple, alleging the T.I. pulled a gun on her, and later, Peterson began gathering stories from women who allegedly had sexual encounters with both T.I. and Tiny. Soon, Peterson was spearheading a movement that resulted in a reported two dozen women making allegations of drugging, rape, sexual assault, and sexual misconduct.

T.I. and Tiny have made repeated statements denying the allegations against them, however, there is reportedly an investigation into the accusations in Los Angeles. Peterson, who also has a lawsuit against her former friends, shared a video to social media where she stated she would drop her suit on a few conditions.

“Tell the truth about me, tell the truth about what you did to me, and apologize. I’m gone,” said Peterson. “I don’t want one dime. And here’s the other stipulation: Do it within seven days… Do this, what I’m saying right now, within seven days. Within seven days, tell the truth and apologize,” she repeated.

“I’m gone. Sabrina, she done with. I don’t want a dime from you, but if I gotta keep drawing this out, I gotta keep stepping away from my motherf**ckin’ brand, I gotta keep stepping away from my weed and my weed jars, I gotta keep steppin’ away from my packaging, I gotta keep steppin’ away from my fundraising.”

“Seven days. Apologize and tell the f*ckin’ truth.” The Harrises haven’t publicly responded to Peterson’s power move. Check out the video below.

Juvenile Says “F*ck Young Buck” In VladTV Interview, Royce Da 5’9″ Slams Outlet

It looks as if Royce Da 5’9″ still has issues with DJ Vlad of VladTV. The Slaughterhouse icon has regularly expressed his discontent with Vlad and some of the content he produces, including Vlad’s remarks about Minister Louis Farrakhan and comments about Eminem. Recently, Royce once again took to social media to speak about why he believes Vlad’s platform needs to be “eliminated.”

A clip of Juvenile’s interview with VladTV went viral where the Louisiana rapper shared his feelings about Young Buck. The video shows Vlad referencing his previous interview with Buck, but Juvenile interrupted him.

“Buck is a b*tch. I hate Buck,” said Juvenile. “I hate Young Buck, fam. Buck is a b*tch ass n*gga. We ain’t gon’ talk about Buck at all. Period.” Vlad said, “Okay, fair enough,” before someone off-screen told Vlad that he’s “asking all the wrong questions.” The host apologized. “Just ask me about me,” Juvenile chimed in. ”Don’t throw names out there like that. It was your interview he done that really made me trigger back to like, f*ck him. Like, I really, f*ck him for real, fam.”

The person off-screen also added that they were looking to have a positive interview. Royce Da 5’9″ reshared the snippet and advised people to pay attention to what was being said. “How he’s choosing to handle Buck is his choice but I’d be remiss not to point out that we get so triggered by each other and we are so quick to cut each other off, we forgetting that there’s a common denominator here,” wrote Royce.

“Eliminate Vlad because his platform is a direct threat to our strength,” he added. “We don’t need him… [shrug emoji] #unityisstrength [open hand emoji].” Check it out below.
