April 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ray J discussed the lack of public support for Diddy during a recent interview with TMZ at LAX. In doing so, he labeled the allegations against the Bad Boy mogul a “big question mark” and explained his associates want to know the full extent of the situation before speaking on it.

“I think a lot of people are just trying to understand it, understand what is and what’s not. It’s still a big question mark. Pray for everybody though. Prayers go up for everybody.” When asked about attending Diddy’s parties and whether he saw anything questionable, or whether he thinks the allegations stem from other “after parties,” Ray J pled the fifth. From there, he discussed his newest venture, Tronix Network.

LOL.” Authorities raided Diddy’s properties, earlier this week, reportedly as part of an investigation into alleged sex trafficking.

The Weeknd Adds Summer Walker To A High-Stakes Remix Of ‘Best Friends’

August 5, 2022 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this week, rumors circulated that The Weeknd would release a remix to “Best Friends,” a Dawn FM cut, featuring Summer Walker. The Starboy quickly confirmed the reports, saying the “Girls Need Love” singer “carried” and “f*cking crushed it.” Well, the track is officially here and he did not lie.

The Over It artist’s emotive vocals and sharp pen provide an even fresher take than the original version. The emotionally bound narrative here aligns well with what she often sings about, struggling to balance love and friendship as well. As two of the most vulnerable voices in music today, this was a smart choice.

This unexpected collaboration comes at an opportune time for both artists. The Weeknd is surfing the waves caused by his 80s-inspired January album Dawn FM featuring Lil Wayne, Tyler, The Creator, Quincy Jones and Jim Carrey. “Out Of Time” and “Sacrifice” emerged as standouts and maintained that place for some time.

As for Summer Walker, aside from verses on Lil Durk and Kendrick Lamar’s 2022 albums, she has been quiet. The “Come Thru” broke streaming records back in November with Still Over It powered by appearances from Lil Durk, SZA, City Girls and more.

Check out the “Best Friends” Remix above.
