Carl Crawford Denies Owing Erica Banks Money

A new snippet from an unreleased Erica Banks track sees the artist claiming that her label, 1501 Certified, owes her money. “And they owe me some money, they greedy,” she says in the snippet. Fans jumped on the accusation, noting the ongoing legal battle between the label and Megan Thee Stallion. Now, the head of the label has taken to social media to defend himself.

Former pro baseball player and CEO of 1501 Certified Entertainment Carl Crawford denies Banks’ accusation in a new clip. “Erica not even making no money for me to take,” he begins. Crawford goes on to claim that the only reason Banks is coming forward with the accusation is due to his ongoing drama with Megan Thee Stallion. “This is a good time to try to press the issue,” he says, “you think everybody will believe you because you know I’m going through this with Megan.”

Carl Crawford Claims Erica Banks Isn’t “Making No Money” For Him To Take

Viewers in the comments section shared their thoughts, with several believing that the two accusations can’t be purely coincidental. “He’s clearly a bad business man,” one user writes. Another says, “everyone can’t be lying. Stop the gas lighting.” Megan Thee Stallion is suing 1501 for royalties. In April, the “Body” rapper brought the financial stability of the label into question. She filed a motion that claimed 1501 allegedly had less than $10,000 in its primary account.

Beef between Crawford and Meg got pretty ugly in the past, with both parties taking shots at one another. Earlier this year, Crawford addressed their feud saying, “Unfortunately, me and Megan haven’t talked since 2019.” “We been going through what y’all seen online,” he said, “That’s unfortunate, too, because I never wanted to go have a situation where I was going back and forth with her on the internet. I never had problems with Megan Thee Stallion, but this social media stuff turned it really sour. You take this social media stuff out of it, and we won’t have a problem. You won’t hear me mention Megan Thee Stallion’s name unless it’s a big-time interview.”

6ix9ine And Anuel AA Exchange Fighting Words Over Instagram

Beef seems to be brewing between rappers 6ix9ine and Anuel AA. The two got into a heated back-and-forth via Instagram on Thursday, July 6th, causing fans in both camps to go up in arms. Both of them threw out salacious details of the other. According to comments on DJ Akademiks’ post on the matter, Spanish translator-commenters said, “Anuel calls 69 a Pedo even [though] he knew this while recording 2 songs [with] him.” This is a reference to 6ix9ine’s plea deal from child sexual performance charges back in 2015.

Apparently, 6ix9ine clapped back with “[saying] Anuel beat his ex while pregnant.” This is a serious accusation about a musical artist who has had a plethora of romantic relationships and has children with a few women. It’s a bit of a setback for 6ix9ine, who seemed to be righting the ship of his career by gifting the people of the Dominican Republic money mere days ago. Now, he’s getting into yet another confrontation with someone in the rap game.

A post shared by DJ Akademiks (@akademiks)

It’s fair to question Anuel AA about his pedophile claim about the New York hip-hop performer. The two created a couple of songs together back in the day. Insta commenters pointed out that Anuel would’ve known about the pedo thing at that time. Whether Anuel knew or not is up for speculation. But what is known is the two now have bad blood. How did the former collaborators reach such irreconcilable terms?

This seemed to have all started when 6ix9ine and Anuel AA’s brother appeared to get into an alleged altercation back in February. They could be heard in a video arguing and possibly throwing fists. It was only a matter of time before Anuel AA got involved. With the tirades screenshot by DJ Akademiks, we will have receipts for when this beef continues to grow. After both of them traded secrets in public, who knows where the fight goes from here?

Soulja Boy Claps Back To Desto Dubb’s Fight Challenge

The Soulja Boy-Desto Dubb-Drakeo The Ruler beef is getting out of hand. It all started back when Soulja gave himself the “Big Draco” nickname while Drakeo was imprisoned in 2020. Drakeo, of course, took exception to this and started talking back to Soulja Boy. Sadly, Drakeo passed away in 2021 due to an LA stabbing, but streetwear designer Desto Dubb took up his position, defending Drakeo and calling out Soulja on July 5th.

On Instagram Live, he told his fans, “Hey, everybody tell Soulja Boy I want a boxing match… C’mon, Soulja, show me some money.” Soulja, not one to shy away from any controversy or beef, responded in kind on his own Instagram Live rant. While Desto says he’s got “$100k saying I’ll slap the taste out of your mouth,” Soulja clapped back with, “I’ll air this b*tch out, 100 rounds, n*gga.” It sounds like he’d be ready to step in the ring — or the streets — to settle this feud once and for all.

What Will It Take To Squash The Soulja Boy/Desto Dubb Beef?

This all started with Drakeo The Ruler and Soulja literally trying to take his name from him while Drakeo was at his lowest. Now, with Drakeo gone and his murder still unsolved, the beef between Soulja and Desto Dubb is unsavory, to say the least. Arguing over absolutely nothing and threatening to fight for $100k makes little sense when a man is dead and gone. But that’s how Soulja rolls, getting in tussles with almost everybody.

For example, in the same video, Soulja goes after Adam22, the podcaster and controversial figure dealing with multiple sexual assault accusations. Adam22 and Desto Dubb recently did a podcast episode together. But Soulja was not about what was said on the air. Back in the day, he also beefed with Bow Wow and other rappers. This problematic trend is concerning, so hopefully, Soulja Boy gets some help from friends soon. All this beef is not good for anyone’s health.

Sukihana Calls Tasha K A Bully: “This Lady Evil”

Sukihana has taken to Twitter to respond to Tasha K’s latest diss. The YouTuber recently compared Sukihana’s career to Sexyy Red’s, trashing both of them in the process. “I can’t believe that in #HoCultureMusic, #SexyyRed would ever outsell over #Suki, who’s been drinking bodily fluids on camera way longer than Red!,” she wrote. In a clip, she’s also seen dragging Sukihana because Sexyy Red got a co-sign from Nicki Minaj before her. Now, Sukihana has responded on social media, claiming that the content creator is a “bully.”

“Tasha is targeting me because of Cardi we all know it,” she began the now-deleted series of Tweets, “I realized it when I asked her could she leave me alone and she said go ask that b***h Cardi for a feature.” Sukihana went on, “I’m not going to lie this lady evil and I been trying to ignore her cyber bullying for a longgggg time.” I even pray my anger away,” she says. “I ain’t gone lie I was scared to go up against her because she a old head but I’m finna rip this b***h out the frame,” she added, “[You’re] a bully.”

Sukihana Was “Scared” To Go Against Tasha K

In a recent video posted by Tasha K, she discusses the recent 2023 BET Awards. In the clip, she trashes both Sexyy Red and Sukihana. The YouTuber says she saw Sukihana walk the carpet “half naked.” “Nobody called her on stage, nobody asked her to read an award, nobody gave her an award,” she claims.

Tasha K then ripped apart Sexyy Red’s outfit, calling it “some jeans from Rainbow […] and a swimsuit top,” and saying it cost $23. The content creator also says Sexyy Red “Performed in front of Deacons, ‘Bootyhole brown,’” meaning her song “Pound Town.” “And she gets a cosign from Nicki Minaj before you?,” she asks Sukihana.

Lil Yachty Reveals Why He Hates Sean Paul

During the first episode of his new podcast, “A Safe Place,” Lil Yachty revealed the reason he isn’t a fan of Jamaican artist Sean Paul. He explained that the artist dissed him during a radio appearance, and ever since, he doesn’t “f**k with” him. Lil Yachty announced the new podcast earlier this month, urging fans to send him questions he can answer on the show.

In the episode, titled “The Art Of Hate,” Lil Yachty and his co-host MitchGoneMad discussed artists that fell off. When MitchGoneMad mentioned Sean Paul, Yachty explained that the artist never really “fell off,” but instead simply stopped putting out music. He then revealed that he doesn’t like the artist, saying “f**k Sean Paul.” A clip then plays of Paul dissing him. “If it was really about talent in the hip hop industry,” Paul says in the clip, “you wouldn’t have some of these younger cats talking that.” When someone is heard mentioning the rapper, Paul agrees that he falls into this category and calls him “boat boy.”

Sean Paul Dissed Lil Yachty

Sean Paul isn’t the only artist to throw shade at Lil Yachty recently. NBA YoungBoy also took shots at the rapper in his song “F**k The Industry Pt. 2” last month. “Play with me, Lil Yachty mad about JT, f*ggot / B*tch, play with me, half of y’all ain’t got more money than me,” he raps.

YB later explained the diss on Twitter, revealing that he had tried to “check” him for talking to City Girls’ JT. “Mama, that b*tch really check me ’bout that girl,” he explained, “That b*tch checked the gangsta man.” He continued, “If I ain’t mistaken, bro, you say you asked me about trying to talk to your b*tch. And I was confused ’cause you a hoe and you was coming at me, like, I ain’t really do that. B*tch, I got a mental problem over here and I got too much money.”

The Game Clarifies That He Never Wrote Songs For 50 Cent

Recently, rumors have circulated that The Game had a hand in the writing of 50 Cent’s classic track “What Up Gangsta.” In a recent interview with Bars And Nuggets, Game cleared things up. He didn’t mince words shutting down the rumors either. “I didn’t do no writing for 50 and 50 ain’t do no writing for me,” he says in response to the rumors. Not only did he shut down this specific story, but also the idea that either artist had ever written for the other.

Even with the strong denial many fans in the comments still didn’t believe The Game. “50 cent wrote the hooks and provided the melodies for some of his biggest hits,” one comment says. “Well no, Jayceon, the difference is that there are reference tracks done by 50 for you on the internet,” another reads. Many fans take issue with the claim that 50 never did any writing for The Game. “I don’t understand how it’s reference tracks out there and he still denying it,” was a common sentiment.

The Game Clears Up Rumors

In addition to the rumors, The Game has also been dealing with legal battles. He could end up having to forfeit his wallet of cryptocurrency to pay for a 2016 sexual assault case. It’s the newest development in Priscilla Rainey’s quest to get the money she’s owed from the lawsuit. Earlier this year she targeted Game’s label Universal Music Group for the money.

The Game has been relatively quiet musically in 2023. While he’s appeared for a handful of features he hasn’t released any material of his own. Last year The Game released his 11th studio album Drillmatic – Heart vs. Mind. The album had an absolutely stacked feature list including Kanye West, Pusha T, A$AP Rocky, Lil Wayne, Roddy Rich, and MANY more. The album’s 30-song tracklist spans nearly 2 hours of music. What do you think of The Game’s claim that he and 50 Cent never wrote for each other? Tell us in the comment section below.

Erica Banks Claims 1501 Owes Her Money In New Snippet

Erica Banks is the next in a long line of artists to take issue with her label. A new unreleased snippet of her music emerged where she called out the label. “And they owe me some money, they greedy,” the song’s lyrics read. She followed up the snippet by saying that she is no longer with the record label. Each of her 3 most recent projects were released on 1501 Certified including her breakout 2020 mixtape Erica Banks. Her debut studio album 2022’s Diary Of The Flow Queen was also released on the label, but it could be her last.

In the comments under the post, many pointed out Megan Thee Stallion’s similar issues with 1501 certified. “Meg tried to tell it but she was so pressed to be the new head female of that label she ignored it..well a lesson learned,” one comment read. “Megan Pete baby add this to your court docket and y’all team up to take his a*s straight to the bank because everybody need to see this label for what it really is and you can tell they have absolutely no respect for women!!” another comment says.

Ginuwine Discusses His Strained Relationship With Aaliyah

During his recent interview with Drink Champs, Ginuwine discussed his difficult relationship with the late Aaliyah. He revealed that the “beef” between them revolved mostly around the singer’s family, claiming that he sadly never got the opportunity to set things straight with her before she died.

“We were all a family,” he told the host, “Missy [Elliot], Timbaland, her [Aaliyah], myself, Magoo, Playa, Tweet.” He explained that “all of [them] had a close-knit bond before tensions between them began to rise. “[Aaliyah] and I weren’t seeing eye-to-eye,” Ginuwine revealed. He then explained that the beef he had with Aaliyah was actually beef with her family. “I think it had to do a lot more with her loyalty to her uncle, Barry Hankerson,” the artist explained, admitting he had “a little bit” of beef with Hankerson. “He was the record head and the company was my manager,” he says, “I just decided to leave because whatever reason. Of course, her loyalty was to her family. So, that’s where that stemmed from.”

Later on in the interview, Ginuwine also shared that Missy Elliot had come to him before claiming to have had a dream that Aaliyah forgave him.

Wack 100 Calls Gunna A “Bozo,” Responds To Diss

Wack 100 recently appeared on the No Jumper podcast, where he discussed Gunna’s apparent diss. Allegedly, Gunna calls Wack 100 out on his song “i was just thinking,” which is part of the new album he released earlier this month, a Gift & a Curse. On the song, Gunna appears to reference him with the lyrics, “You wack n***as can’t get with this, I’m one hundred for sure.” “What he should have said,” he explains, is “Wack 100 never be a Gunna.” He then described his new line as “bars.” When the host asked him how he felt about Gunna calling him out in the song, he responded, “Good looking out, Gunna. Bozo.”

You took the motherf*cking bait,” he explains, “you took the cake.” He then went on to call Gunna a “bozo” several more times. “Learn how to sit down and shut the f*ck up,” he tells Gunna, “and not do what we want you to do.” “That’s why your a*s is a little bitty a*s boy,” he says, “thanks for the clout.” Wack 100 continued, describing clout as “the new cocaine.”

Wack 100 Thanks Gunna For The Clout

Wack 100 had previously shared his thoughts on allegations that Gunna “snitched” on Young Thug amid the YSL RICO trial. He discussed thinking Gunna is guilty of “snitching” following the release of a Gift & a Curse. “He told,” he said during a Clubhouse discussion. “Listen… you’re not pleading guilty to a RICO, and they’re freeing you. He did something.” 

Gucci Mane also recently dissed him on his new song with Lil Baby, “Bluffin.” In the song, he raps “I ain’t arguin’ on no internet, I’m not Wack100.” He later took to social media to respond. “You dissed me huh,” he wrote, “I heard dat sh*t.” He added, “Diss track response coming in 2 days ‘KNOCK OFF GUCCI’ IM REALY THE MANE! Sit down nay sayers we’re family Go stream dat sh*t NOW.”

Gunna’s “a Gift & a Curse” Sells 83k In Its First Week

Gunna has been in the news a lot recently for reasons that don’t have that much to do with his music. Consequently it can be easy to forget that Gunna just dropped his first new album in over a year last week. The album sports 15 tracks and no features and generated 83k sales in its first week. Almost all of those sales came from streaming and it puts Gunna with artists like Lil Durk and Karol G for the best-selling rap albums of the year so far. The 83k is a somewhat significant bump from the 78k the album was originally projected to do a few days ago.

Some fans have pointed out that this is the lowest first week’s sales for a major Gunna release yet. Previously, his lowest debut, 2019’s Drip Or Drown 2 sold 90k. Although that seems condemning at first many fans were quick to point out logical explanations for the slip. The clearest purpose for the dip in sales is likely the album’s lack of promotion. Gunna has largely been absent from any social media for over a year, which is the primary channel for most artists to promote their music. The record was also released very shortly after its announcement and lead single. Those tighter release schedules and lower promotions have caused lower sales for many artists in the past.

Gunna’s First Week Numbers Are In

For the past few months, Gunna has faced allegations of snitching from all sides. Two former collaborators of his, Lil Durk and Lil Baby both reportedly called out his actions. That resulted in him appearing to unfollow both on Instagram this morning. Alternatively, Gunna might be dealing with shade from someone even closer to him.

Young Thug’s brand new album Business Is Business features lyrics calling out snitches. Subsequently many have interpreted it as a shot at Gunna. Other fans online argue that the song was recorded long before his plea deal. What do you think of Gunna’s first-week sales numbers? Tell us in the comment section below.
