Flavor Flav Says He is ‘King Swiftie’ After Discovering Taylor Swift’s Music

by
Who knew Flavor Flav was a huge Taylor Swift fan. Flav hit the The Grove in Los Angeles for the premiere of the Eras tour film. During his time at the event, Falv mingled with Swift's family and exchanged the frendship bracelets that have become a practice at Swiftie events.

Flavor Flav is standing ten toes down in his Taylor Swift love. Speaking on Hot 97’s Ebro in the Morning, Flav dubbed himself “King Swiftie.”

“It started because I got a girl that lives in Detroit and her kids wanted to go to the Eras Tour concert. So my manager got in contact with Taylor Swift’s people and they hooked me up some tickets and passes,” Flav said. “When we walked over to the tent where I was supposed to be at, a lot of these fans were coming up to me. These young kids, man, I’m surprised they even knew who I was!

“They start giving me these friendship bracelets. Next thing you know, I have friendship bracelets all up and down my arm. We were trading bracelets and everything! Her fanbase embraced me, and I embraced them back.”

Flav said after the show he began to take a deep dive into Swift’s music and made a comparison to Mary J. Blige.

“Mary writes about her experiences that she goes through, then when she gets out there on that stage and she sings those songs, mostly every single woman in that audience relates to Mary because all of the women go through similar things. Same thing as Taylor.”

You can hear the full story and more from Flavor Flav below.

In Cotber, Flav hit The Grove in Los Angeles for the premiere of the Eras tour film. During his time at the event, Flav mingled with Swift’s family and exchanged friendship bracelets that have become a practice at Swiftie events.

The Eras premiere also saw the two biggest stars on the planet, Beyoncé and Taylor Swift, hanging out. Making for a cute moment, the two sat in the first row at a movie theater and posed for a picture. Beyoncé would playfully toss popcorn to the camera.

“I’m so glad I’ll never know what my life would’ve been like without Beyoncé’s influence,” Swfit wrote on Instagram. “The way she’s taught me and every artist out here to break rules and defy industry norms. Her generosity of spirit. Her resilience and versatility. She’s been a guiding light throughout my career and the fact that she showed up tonight was like an actual fairytale.

50 Cent Says He “Shouldn’t Talk To” Rappers With Low Record Sales

by

Between rap fans debating the merits of their favorite artists and rappers themselves flexing their accomplishments, sales are a big deal in the genre. Despite some strong debuts early in the year from artists like Lil Durk and Young Thug, almost half of 2023 went by without a single rap album selling enough copies to reach number one on the Billboard 200. Since then, Lil Uzi Vert, Drake, and Travis Scott have all released their new project and delivered on increasingly massive first-week sales.

Now, somebody who is no stranger to selling lots of copies is chiming in. A newly released video of 50 Cent seemingly behind the scenes at one of his shows on The Final Lap Tour this year sees him sharing some feelings about rappers who don’t exactly do numbers. He says that he “shouldn’t talk to” any rapper who can only sell 31k copies. That sparked plenty of debate among fans both in regards to who he was actually talking about and whether he still has the right to make that kind of talk in the first place. Check out the full clip and fan reactions below.

50 Cent Doesn’t Want To Hear From Rappers With Low Numbers

Some fans speculate that 50 may be talking about a recent album whose sales numbers were lower than expected. “Damn.. ross & meek fell off . HARD!!” the top comment on the post reads. Two rap titans Meek Mill and Rick Ross recently teamed up for a collaborative album, the kind of thing that you’d expect to sell tons. But the album only ended up doing 35k sales in its first week adding up to a relatively modest total.

Elsewhere in the comments fans debate how many copies 50 himself would sell with a new album in 2023. “Ain’t no way 50 cent selling 31k these days,” another one of the top comments reads. What do you think of 50 Cent’s observations about rappers who only sell 30k copies? Let us know in the comment section below.

Khia Serves Stunning Look For “Body” Music Video Following Sexyy Red Feud

by

Behind-the-scenes shots from the filming of her new “Body” music video shows Khia rocking a stunning look. Khia wrapped herself in a low-cut, figure-hugging feathery dress and matching hat. Fans were tripping over themselves to complete the artist on the stunning look. “Body” is set to be Khia’s first single in five years. Her last release was 2018’s “Kash Only”. Of course, Khia is something of a one-hit wonder. Her most successful track was 2002’s “My Neck, My Back (Lick It)”. Furthermore, it appears that this is Khia’s response to her recent beef with Sexyy Red.

At the end of October, she spoke out on what she saw as unfavorable comparisons to the likes of Red and Sukihana. “It’s respect me, it’s snatch the motherf*ckin’ cat back. It’s don’t trust no motherf-ckin’ n-gga get your own sh-t. It ain’t eat no n-gga’s a– and suck no n-gga’s toes,” Khia said. She doubled down. “Your a– is being charged with not being ashamed of your God damn self. Doing h-e sh-t then being mad about it. Being a deadbeat mama, a deadbeat daddy, a deadbeat daughter, and a deadbeat Young Thug lookalike.” Additionally, she also took some low shots about Red’s sexual history and her current pregnancy.

Sexyy Red Claps Back At Khia

Of course, Khia serving “Body” comes after Red fired back in her own unique way. “Khia will get dem ol bones dragged in real life but she don’t got enough money to b in the same room as me,” Red said. Furthermore, the St. Louis rapper also called Khia a “hater”, “miserable”, and “jealous” of Red’s success.

However, not everyone is hating on Red. Both Nicki Minaj and Drake showed love for Red ahead of the release of the deluxe of Hood Hottest Princess. Minaj wrote “SEXY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” in response to the announcement. Meanwhile, Champagne Papi, who has formed a close friendship with Red this year, also liked the post. Furthermore, Red teased that the deluxe was going to be loaded with features.
