In a recent interview, T-Pain discussed the comments Usher once made to him on a flight going to the BET Awards in 2013. Pain alleged that Usher told him to his face that he “really f*cked up music.”

“Usher was my friend. He was like, ‘You really, like, fucked up music for real singers,'” Pain recalls in the clip. “Literally, at that point, I couldn’t listen. Is he right? Did I fuck up music? And that is the very moment — and I don’t think I realized this for a long time. That’s the very moment that started a four-year depression for me.”

While the clip ultimately went viral and fans have been demanding that Usher offer an apology to T-Pain, the “Can’t Believe It” singer explained that he harbors no ill feelings towards the “Burn” artist.

“I still love and respect @Usher telling that story was in no way meant to disrespect that man. Ppl talk shit about me 24/7 but when it comes from someone you truly respect it hits very different. I never said f*ck Ursh it was a drop in the ocean of shit I was already goin through,” Pain tweeted. As Twitter attempted to bring up that time Pain tried to ask about the public’s stance on Tory Lanez, T-Pain explained how he wants no part of the “Stan convo.”

“And for the ppl goin back 48 weeks to dig up a tweet,” he continued. “Pls find something to do. That was before shawty said anything and the song never came out after I got the information I needed. Leave me out of the Stan convo thanx.”

Flint’s own BFB Da Packman has proven himself to be among hip-hop’s more unconventional rising artists, having earned acclaim through his sharp comedic timing, bluntly amusing self-deprecation, and quotable punchlines. Determined to establish himself as one of the game’s most noteworthy bar-spitters, Da Packman has set the stage for his upcoming debut album Fat N***as Need Love Too, unveiling the tracklist and guest appearances to come.

Clocking in at eighteen tracks — skits included — BFB’s big release is set to feature appearances from Sada Baby, Noodah, Wiz Khalifa, Coi Leray, Benny The Butcher, Payroll Giovanni, Zack Fox, Lil Yachty, and DDG.

Of course, many are already familiar with the project’s fourth track, the viral “Free Joe Exotic” with fellow Detroit rapper Sada Baby. Released in the summer of 2020, the Tiger King-inspired banger became an instant sensation, to the point where its inclusion on Fat N***as Need Love Too was a no-brainer. It should also be interesting to hear how BFB fares trading bars with Benny The Butcher, a man widely regarded among the game’s elite lyricists.

Luckily, we won’t have to wait much longer for the album to arrive, as it’s currently set to drop this coming Friday, June 25th. Should you be interested in a little bit of a sneak preview, be sure to check out the tracklist embedded below, courtesy of BFB’s IG.

Fans of the DC Extended Universe have been waiting patiently for the standalone sequel of the 2016 film Suicide Squad. The forthcoming film, which features an ensemble cast of Hollywood’s most elite actors, has received a new trailer, although it seems it was leaked online earlier than expected. 

The fresh trailer, which is available on YouTube through an unlisted video dubbed “The Suicide Squad – Early Access Trailer Do Not Share,” highlights Suicide Squad member Bloodsport, who will be played by Idris Elba. James Gunn took to Twitter to joke about the circulating trailer, placing blame on some of the cast members for debuting the trailer online early. A first look trailer was already dropped back in March. 

“It seems like Margot…John Cena, Idris Elba…have already done that earlier than expected. How dare they,” tweeted Gunn in response to a fan asking for a trailer. As for the contents of the new trailer, Idris Elba’s Bloodsport is spotlighted in the action-packed clip. Bloodsport is the tech-enhanced mercenary who went to prison for shooting Superman with a kryptonite bullet, which earned the applaud and attention of squad boss Amanda Walker (Viola Davis).

Elsewhere in the trailer, you also see more of Sylvester Stallone’s King Shark character, the fan-favorite Margot Robbie rendition of Harley Quinn, and the rest of the team continuing their tirade already witnessed in the previous trailer. In addition, Pete Davidson stars as Blackguard, David Dastmalchian as Polka-Dot Man, Alice Braga as Sul Soria, Daniela Melchior as Ratcatcher 2, Nathan Fillion as T.D.K., Mayling Ng as Mongal, Michael Rooker as Savant, Peter Capaldi as Thinker, Sean Gunn as Weasel and Flula Borg as Javelin. 

The Suicide Squad is scheduled to hit theaters and HBO Max on August 6th. Although briefly being fired as director, his next superhero project will still be MCU’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, which is set to arrive in May of 2023. Check out the new trailer above.

Rowdy Rebel has shared a few tracks since his release from prison including collaborations with Young Thug, Nav, and A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie. On Friday, he blessed fans with a rack, he shared a brand new freestyle over Meek Mill’s “Flamerz Flow.” Closing out the track is a special message from Rowdy who announced the title of his forthcoming project.

“Look, Sacrifices coming soon, man. I sacrificed a lot for this shit. Basketball, streets, school. Just for my n***as, my family. So don’t play. Make sure you tune in when that bitch drop,” he says in the clip.

While no release date has been set, the recent stream of releases and appearances have been a strong indication that he’s coming prepared on his new project. Most recently, he was spotted with Lil Durk in the studio and Bobby Shmurda so hopefully, that collaboration ends up dropping soon.

“iSpy” artist KYLE has announced that he’s officially an independent artist, effectively ending his working relationship with Atlantic Recording Corporation. The Ventura-based artist will be releasing new music this week, sharing a message with his day-one fans that he’s finally happy to be working on his art again.

“I have not felt like myself now for some time.. I felt like I was getting pulled in every direction and I had zero control of what means the most to me, my art. It is important to me that I give you all the best of me, and I couldn’t do that without being free, so I’m happy to announce that as of today I am an INDEPENDENT ARTIST and a self-owned business,” wrote KYLE on Instagram.

“In the short term I’m turning down millions of dollars but I’m taking a risk and betting on what got me to where I am today.. myself and my fans,” he added. “I’m starting to feel myself align.. It’s been an amazing feeling recording these new records free from all restraints. My fans are about to get the artist they deserve from me.. I’m being unapologetically myself. Thank you to everyone who’s stuck along for the journey and helped me get to this point.”
