Travis Scott Drops A Video For ‘Drugs You Should Try It’ A Decade After ‘Days Before Rodeo’ Mixtape’s Initial Release

by

Travis Scott’s nostalgic days are far from over. In fact, the “Yeah Yeah” rapper’s time digging through his past musical releases has just begun. Today (August 27), a new music video for a standout Days Before Rodeo track hit YouTube.

As Uproxx’s hip-hop editor Aaron Williams argues here, “Drugs You Should Try It,” is probably the strongest track on the body of work. Now, to immortalize the record, Scott gifts supporters with a visual to match its compulsive vibe.

The video for “Drugs You Should Try It” blends together the thematic nature of the mixtape’s title, Scott’s Southern upbringing by way of Texas, and his highest in the room raver persona. From flashy of Western classics to the aftermath of a chaotic party, the viewers are taken on a quick tour of Scott’s creative influences.

Before the video closes, Scott subtly nods at tour merchandise that draw inspiration from those wild nights. Instead of encouraging his fans to turn away from party favors, an inverted D.A.R.E. logo flashes on the screen. The viewers’ sobriety is respected, but just know as Scott reaches for the moon he might be on cloud nine in more ways than one.

Watch Travis Scott’s official video for the song “Drugs You Should Try It” above.

With sexually explicit music seemingly at an all-time high, listeners are growing more appreciative of lyrical subtleties. From breakout tracks such as Cardi B & Megan Thee Stallion’s “WAP” to Sexyy Red’s “Pound Town,” many rap acts aren’t leaving anything up to the imagination.

But over on the R&B front, Beyoncé has made a rather extensive collection of track’s riddled with innuendo. So much so that the leader of the Beyhive, Tina Knowles (more affectionately referred to as Momma Tina) just discovered the true meaning behind her daughter’s 2009 single, “Ego.”

Over on Instagram, Knowles reposted a clip from the Can I Vibe With Y’all podcast (view here), where hosts Cazo Wilborn and Chris Mathis sing along to NSWF lyrics, which many believe to be about…penis (more specifically’s her husband Jay-Z’s package).

“Wow, I just realized that she wasn’t talking about that ego,” she wrote. “Ohhhhhh Myyyyy!!!!!!! 😂😂😂 I’m serious, I really didn’t Know til now!!!!! That’s crazy! Nooo! Really? Maybe not ! I don’t know! What y’all think?”

When Bey sings, “It’s too big / It’s too wide / It’s too strong / It won’t fit / It’s too much / It’s too tough / He talk like this ’cause he can back it up,” let’s just say the double entendre has aided in the expansion of the Carter family.

If Miss Tina is just learning about “Ego,” wait until she truly listens Beyoncé’s records “Levii’s Jeans,” “Blow,” “II Hands II Heaven,” and “Rocket.” Momma dearest might just clutch her pearls.

“I wonder if ‘Blue Waffle’ and ‘Herpes’ are coming next,” joked another.

Instagram

“Gonorrhea and yellow discharge is insane,” penned another.

The-Dream Slams His Former Protégée’s Rape And Sexual Battery Lawsuit As: ‘False and Defamatory’

The-Dream (real name Terius Gesteelde-Diamant) is caught up in a legal nightmare. The multiple Grammy Award-winning producer and songwriter, has issued a response to sexual assault allegations made by his former protégée.

Back in June, singer Channii Monroe (real name Chanaaz Mangroe) accused The-Dream of rape, sexual battery, and more in a lawsuit obtained by the New York Times. Yesterday (August 16), The-Dream and his legal representatives filed a response to Mangroe’s claims.

According to Rolling Stone, in The-Dream’s filing, he slammed Mangroe’s allegations. “Diamant categorically denies Plaintiff’s allegations in the Complaint,” reads the motion. “They are simply disconnected from reality, and the Complaint fails in its entirety.”

The document proceeds to address each of the claims made by his accuser’s original lawsuit, starting with who initiated contact and the roots of their romantic relationship. The-Dream argues that Mangroe reached out to his friend in order to jumpstart their professional relationship.

He also alleged that Mangroe “made the first move on him,” which lead to their short-lived romantic entanglement, which he then ended. The-Dream accused Mangroe of continually attempting to make advances at him after the fling fizzled out. His legal team is asking the courts to dismiss Mangroe’s lawsuit.

Their motion supposedly includes “sexually text messages” and other supporting screenshotted communications to support The-Dream’s claims. The-Dream’s filing argues that Mangroe’s lawsuit as an attempt to “overwhelm defendants with an unclear mass of allegations and make it difficult or impossible for defendants to make informed responses to the plaintiff’s allegations” and “nothing more than a legally insufficient hit piece.”

YouTubers looking to carelessly discuss the private matters of Nicki Minaj have been put on notice. The “Barbie World” rapper has reportedly secured a major legal victory against one commentator on the platform.

According to TMZ, Nicki Minaj’s court case with YouTuber Nosey Heaux (real name Marley Green) panned out in her favor. In the outlet’s report, it states that the pair reached a settlement over the content creator’s September 2022 claim that Nicki Minaj was a “cokehead” and “shoving all this cocaine up her nose.”

As part of the settlement, according to TMZ, Green must publicly acknowledge that “everything she said about Nicki Minaj using or abusing cocaine was false.” Green must also publicly admit that “she never had any evidence of Nicki Minaj using or abusing cocaine or any other drug.”

Green’s past video did include several harsh remarks about Nicki Minaj’s son, affectionately known as Papa Bear (whom she shares with husband Kenneth Petty).

In additional to the previously mentioned retractions, Green has supposedly agreed to several other stipulations. Green is not to publicly discuss Petty and Papa Bear. Online, Green has reportedly agreed to not repost others comments about Nicki Minaj doing anything or partaking in anything, both illegal or unethical.

Although Nosey Heaux can no longer push the narrative. Unfortunately, for Nicki Minaj, it has already been subtly used by her foes in songs such as Uproxx cover star Latto’s “Put It On Da Floor” and “It’s Givin.”

Last week, Kehlani’s world (which unfortunately includes their family life) was rocked when their ex Javaughn Young-White reportedly filed for full custody.

In Young-White’s supposed paperwork, her suggested that the “Next 2 U” singer was involved with a cult, which TMZ mistakenly reported was a sex cult. After Kehlani issued a short response to the claims, they then requested privacy. But users online begun to use their subsequent silence against them. Today (August 11), Kehlani clapped back to critics by way of their Instagram Stories.

“My silence is focus,” they wrote. “I am focused on my daughter. I’m tired of my silence being framed as anything by. My daughter and the work I have to continue, so her life remains as wonderful as it is, is my focus.”

Kehlani ended the note, writing: “I have no ill wishes even for those who have ill wishes towards me. I’m a mother first and foremost, and a person who believes in God.”

Days ago, Kehlani’s ex and father to their daughter, Javaughn Young-White, expressed regret over the claims he made in an updated statement posted to his own Instagram page (which you can read here).

T.I. and Tiny’s can put one of their legal battles behind them.

On August 8, the couple (real name Clifford and Tameka Harris) received news regarding this longstanding 2021 sexual assault lawsuit. According to AllHipHop, the case against them has been dismissed by a judge, a notion that the legal team of T.I. and Tiny argued for.

In the outlet’s report, it states Judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett of United States District Court of California formally approved the case’s dismissal. A representative for the couple shared a statement with AllHipHop following the court’s decision.

“The court agreed with Tip and Tameka that Jane Doe doesn’t appear to have any viable claims,” said the rep. “As Tip and Tameka stated three years ago, these allegations are some of the many false, salacious allegations thrown out into the media in a cheap attempt to extort money from them.”

Although the sexual assault lawsuit were reportedly dismissed, it was supposedly dismissed without prejudice, meaning should the Jane Doe complainant wish to refile at a later time, she can.

In 2021, a filer’s (only named as Jane Doe) attorney came forward claiming to have at least 11 others who were victimized by the couple or their entourage. The attorney said the supposed victims cases were pushed off from being properly investigated because as the statute of limitations had passed. T.I. and Tiny have maintained their innocence.

On August 5, Kehlani found themselves caught up in a media storm they had no idea was brewing. The “Next 2 U” singer’s ex and their daughter’s (Adeya Nomi) father, Javaughn Young-White, reportedly filed for legal custody.

But it was what Young-White alleged in the filing documents in what had the potential to tear the blended family apart. Young-White claimed Kehlani was involved in a cult and feared for their daughter’s safety. By August 7, both parents had slammed the exaggerated headlines (specifically TMZ) surrounding Young-White’s claim.

Yesterday (August 9), Young-White shared another statement to his official Instagram page. In the post, he acknowledged that he “deeply regrets” insinuating that Kehlani was involved in a cult. He also doubled down on that fact that his initial statement, submitted by way of his former counsel, was “never approved for submission.”

Read his full statement below.

Prior, Kehlani addressed the allegations in their Instagram Stories. “What has been published in the media over the past 24 hours is incredibly hurtful, inaccurate, inappropriate, and simply untrue,” they wrote. “I strongly deny any claims that I have put my child in harm’s way, or left my child alone with anyone deemed dangerous or unsafe. I also do not align with any of the allegations made against my former religious community that have been stated in the media.”

Megan Thee Stallion’s NSFW New ‘Mamushi’ Video Sees Her Transform Into A Gigantic Snake

by

Megan Thee Stallion has frequently proven that she’s a lover of Japanese culture, whether she’s busting out Sailor Moon cosplay or presenting at the Anime Awards. Her love for the country continues to shine through in her latest output, a new video for the Yuki Chiba collaboration “Mamushi.”

A mamushi is a venomous type of viper found in Japan, and it turns out that Meg herself becomes one in the video. It starts with a man, played by Japanese actor Shô Kasamatsu, visiting a spa. There, he’s given a variety of women to choose from (in an apparent Rush Hour 2 reference), and he opts for Meg. Quickly, though, she transforms into a gigantic mamushi, which doesn’t bode well for Kasamatsu’s character. Between transformations and other goings-on, Megan hangs out in the spa and raps the song while frequently naked.

The video was filmed in multiple locations in Tokyo including the Tsurumaki Onsen Jinya (an onsen is a type of bath facility) and the Engaku-ji Temple (a major Zen Buddhist temple in Japan).

The visual arrives during a busy time for Meg: She just popped up at a Kamala Harris rally, she features on Latto’s new album, and a documentary about her life appears to be on the way soon.

Watch the “Mamushi” video above.

Both Kehlani And Ex Javaughn Young-White Go After The Media Over Young-White’s Supposed ‘Sex Cult’ Allegations

On August 5, TMZ published an eye-popping report about Kehlani and ex Javaughn Young-White, with the headline “KEHLANI Baby Daddy Wants Full Custody Fears Daughter’s Victim of Sex Cult.”

It turns out that neither Kehlani nor Young-White are happy with how their legal situation has been covered in the media.

In a written statement shared on their Instagram Story last night (August 6), Kehlani wrote:

“What has been published in the media over the past 24 hours is incredibly hurtful, inaccurate, inappropriate, and simply untrue. I wanted to take the time to ensure that I responded to these accusations from a calm and considered space rather than a reactive one.

I strongly deny any claims that I have put my child in harm’s way, or left my child alone with anyone deemed dangerous or unsafe. I also do not align with any of the allegations made against my former religious community that have been stated in the media.

I have always taken great care to ensure that my child remains protected and safe at all times. My child and my commitment to motherhood have always been my sole driving forces in this life and will always remain so.

This is who I am and what I have always been focused on.

This is a legal, private, familial matter that will be handled accordingly, and I will now be taking space for my own personal well-being and, most importantly, for the well-being of my child.

Thank you for your support and for respecting our privacy.

I will not be commenting further and will let the legal due process take place.

-Kehlani.”

Then, in a statement shared in an Instagram post, Young-White tagged TMZ and wrote:

“I never said that I think Santeria is a sex cult. Nor did I say that my daughter is in a sex cult. That’s factually incorrect and I think it’s disgusting that TMZ would exploit a child’s image like that. Further, I have not been made aware of any court ordered mediation as of writing this per the account of TMZ. Personally, I would love for TMZ to justify to me, the father, how they came up with this narrative.

The TMZ article sensationalized aspects of what was said while simultaneously breaching my confidentiality. Further, the filing of my case was incomplete and did not have my authorization by error of counsel. I am no longer represented by the aforementioned counsel. There will be an amended filing soon which will illustrate the full range of my concern.

I do not need to paint an unfair image of my co-parent for my justifiable feelings to be respected by the court of law. This unfortunate trauma only increases the obstacles in ensuring my child’s wellbeing.

For now, I am hoping to clear the discrepancies made by TMZ. I hope to see a formal retraction and apology.

Sincerely,

Javaughn Young-White.”

TMZ has not yet responded to Kehlani and Young-White’s posts.
