Rick Ross And James Harden Are Having The Time Of Their Lives At Kendrick Lamar’s “Pop Out” Show

By now, everyone should know that Rick Ross is not particularly fond of Drake. Overall, they found themselves at odds with one another over a cease & desist pertaining to a French Montana track. However, this ultimately led to diss tracks like “Push Ups” and “Champagne Moments.” Since the feud, Ross has continuously taken shots at Drake in the media. It has made for some hilarious moments, and there is no doubt that Ross has no plans to slow down.

For instance, Kendrick Lamar is hosting his “Pop Out” show in Inglewood, as we speak. There has been lots of speculation about who would be performing. While Rick Ross hasn’t been on any lists, that has not stopped him from pulling up. In the video below, you can see that Ross even showed up with none other than James Harden. Ross seemed to be having an incredible time, and so did harden. It just goes to show that this whole event is one big party.

Kendrick Lamar’s Fans Are Committed

While this certainly shows an impressive amount of commitment on fans’ part, it doesn’t necessarily come as a shock. Tickets for the event went on sale to the general public earlier this month and sold out in a matter of seconds. Supporters grabbed screenshots from the queue while waiting to purchase tickets, revealing that there were more than 100K others in front of them. The performance should be quite the spectacle and could go down as one of the biggest events in hip-hop this year.

Fortunately for those unable to make the LA show tonight, it’ll also be available to stream on both Prime Video and Twitch. DJ Hed and his crew will kick things off with a set starting at 7 p.m. EST, followed by Mustard at 7:45 p.m. Kendrick himself is expected to go on at 8:45 p.m., along with his mystery special guests.

Roddy Ricch Reveals He’s Performing At Kendrick Lamar’s Show Today

Roddy Ricch is a Los Angeles artist who has certainly made some West Coast anthems during his young career. Overall, he has also done some incredible work with DJ Mustard. Of course, the song “Ballin’” comes to mind. Having said all of that, there has been a lot of chatter about Roddy and his upcoming project. Moreover, there are rumblings that he could be featured on the new Kendrick Lamar album. Roddy is poised for a comeback, and these rumors have fans incredibly excited.

As it turns out, the Kendrick Lamar and Roddy Ricch rumblings may have just gotten a whole lot more validity. We say this because the artist seemingly confirmed that he would be at Kendrick’s “Pop Out” show today. Roddy posted an image of the concert’s flyer and said “ITS LIKE INCOME TAX DAY IN LA TODAY!” Needless to say, Roddy Ricch was one of the many “Friends” that the concert’s name was alluding to.

Rick Ross Bails On Montreal Show For “Personal Reasons,” & Performs In Nashville Instead

Rick Ross appeared to have bailed on a performance in Montreal to instead take the stage in Nashville on Saturday night, after the Mural Festival announced last minute that “personal reasons” prevented Ross from showing up. Despite the explanation, Ross made an appearance at the Blavity House Party Music Festival in Nashville the same night.

“For personal reasons, Rick Ross has made the decision to cancel his performance at the Festival
In the coming days, we will provide a full refund of the daily tickets you purchased or a partial refund of Weekend 2 Passes and Festival Passes if applicable,” the organization said in a statement translated by Google.

When MtlFlex TV shared the news on Instagram, fans posted various theories to explain why Ross decided to perform in Nashville instead. One user wrote: “DJ Akademiks said Rick Ross banned from Canada after dissing Drake.” Another remarked that he “canceled his show because of the law 101 he didn’t want to convert his name in French.” Ross has been feuding with Drake in recent months, even dropping the diss track, “Campagne Moments,” back in April. Drake threw some shots back on his tracks primarily addressed to Kendrick Lamar. Check out Mural Festival’s statement on Instagram below.

Bad Bunny Concert Allegedly Targeted For Mass Shooting & “Race War,” FBI Reveals

Bad Bunny was on a big North American tour this year in support of last year’s album, nadie sabe lo que va a pasar mañana, a trek that federal authorities claim was almost the target of domestic terrorism. Moreover, the FBI recently unveiled an indictment against white 58-year-old Arizona man Mark Adams Prieto, and it claims that he tried to carry out a mass shooting at an Atlanta rap concert in mid-May, which lines up with the Puerto Rican superstar’s tour stop in the city this year. Adams allegedly sought to provoke a “race war” before the 2024 election, and to target Black people and other ethnic minorities at this event.

Furthermore, the FBI claimed to have learned of this supposed plan through an alleged confidential informant, and sent an agent for Adams to recruit and confide in. Apparently, he sold some rifles to another of his close connections, and spoke with little reservations about specific details of the alleged attack on this tour. Informants claim that Adams told them he chose to target Atlanta due to Georgia’s previous history as a conservative state before more Black folks moved there. Allegedly, he picked the Bad Bunny concert due to the high number of Black people he thought it would hold, and planned to distribute Confederate flags in the area after the attack while screaming “Whities out here killing” and “KKK all the way.”

Then, federal authorities reportedly pulled over Adams on May 14, the day of the Bad Bunny Atlanta show, as he drove through New Mexico, and seized seven firearms during the arrest. A grand jury delivered the indictment and prosecutors charged Adams with firearms trafficking, transfer of a firearm for use in a hate crime, and possession of an unregistered firearm. Neither Kendall Jenner’s rumored boo nor his team have responded to these claims or the indictment.

Meanwhile, Bad Bunny just wrapped up his tour for his latest album with a spectacular three-night in San Juan, Puerto Rico, which you can find our review of here. Fortunately, none of the violence that Adams allegedly planned took place at this Atlanta show nor at any other. Hopefully federal authorities, colleagues, and communities at large can continue to prevent these horrific attacks when faced with their deliberation.

Kacy Hill Reveals How She Escaped Kanye West’s GOOD Music Deal

Kacy Hill is one of several talented artists who were signed to Kanye West’s GOOD Music label. She got her start as a backup danger on the Yeezus tour, before inking a deal with West and releasing her debut album Like a Woman in 2017. Hill left GOOD Music in 2019, however, after an elongated waiting period for her second album. It would eventually come out independently. The singer didn’t have much to say about her time on GOOD Music. That is, until a recent performance on her Bug Tour.

Kacy Hill took time out between songs to detail how and why she Kanye West’s label. She said that she tirelessly tried to terminate her contract, but struggled to get in touch with West amidst his busy musical schedule. “At that time, [Kanye] decided he didn’t want to use an email,” she told the audience. “And he also didn’t have an assistant. So I was like, that is so crazy. And so for like six months of my life, and this is a true story, I’m not exaggerating anything. It’s crazier than I could even tell it. For like six months of my life, I went to Sunday Service.”

Kacy Hill Spent Months Tracking Kanye West Down

The singer’s attempts to track West down persisted. She eventually managed to corner him in an office in Calabasas. Despite West’s reputation for being difficult, and the lengthy process of tracking him down, the rapper obliged Kacy Hill’s request. “He was like, ‘OK, what do I need to do?’ And I was like, ‘You can text literally anyone and say that I’m done,’” Hill told the crowd. “And so he did, and he texted someone and said I was done, and I was done.” Things were so comfortable between the two artists that Hill even played some of her second album for West. “I played him some of my second record, and he was like, ‘This is cool. Could you make it a gospel song?’,” she recalled being asked. “And I was like, ‘Sure, like, whatever you want.’”

Hill’s career has flourished since leaving GOOD Music. She’s released two albums to critical acclaim, and feels as though she’s getting progressively better. The singer detailed this process, and how it’s changed since her GOOD Music days, during an interview with Paper Magazine. “When I was making music back then I didn’t know what I was doing,” she noted. “I feel like my music wasn’t great, and I wrote so many songs that were so bad. My first album sounds like the first album of someone who’s just learning. But I feel like with each album, I’m like, ‘Okay, cool.’ I’m learning more, and I’m getting better.”

Earlier this week, Kendrick Lamar made an exciting announcement on his Instagram Story, revealing that he’ll be putting on his first post-Drake beef show later this month. The event, dubbed “The Pop Out,” has generated a ton of interest from fans itching to see him perform his now-infamous diss tracks. While it’s unclear whether or not he plans to do so, it looks like his supporters can’t wait to catch him live. Tickets went on sale today. Judging by the shocking number of people waiting in the queue to buy some, it’ll be packed.

The event is scheduled to take place on June 19th, also known as Juneteenth, at the Forum in LA. Unfortunately, the venue only holds around 17.5K people, meaning that many fans won’t be able to attend. Fortunately for those who couldn’t secure tickets, however, it was recently announced that the performance will be livestreamed on Twitch and Prime.

Chris Brown Charges Fans $1K For Concert Meet-And-Greets

Chris Brown is one of the best-selling artists of all time. He’s moved over 217 million albums worldwide, and notched countless number ones since he broke out in 2005. He’s also an incredible dancer, which makes his live shows a must for fans. Ticket prices for a Breezy show are nothing head-turning, but it turns out that he more than makes up for it with meet-and-greets. The R&B superstar is believed to be charging fans over $1K to meet with him and take photos after shows.

This revelation came about on June 6. Chris Brown kicked off his 11:11 tour in Detroit, which meant VIP packages were made available to fans. A VIP package that includes a meet-and-greet option for an eye watering $1,111. XXL reported that Brown usually charges $1K flat, but the fee was rounded up to line up with the title of the new album, 11:11. The meet-and-greet comes with additional perks, in case you were wondering. Fans get to meet Breezy, pose for photos, and two signed personal items. They also get early entry to the show, a tour gift, and an 11:11 calendar. It may sound steep, but fans are snatching up these VIP packages left and right. Chris Brown obviously knows his audience.

Chris Brown Has Been Charging This Price For Years

This is not the first time the singer’s meet-and-greet prices have been a talking point. He was criticized when the $1K prices were revealed back in 2022 (yes, he’s been doing it since then). The criticism grew so loud that Chris Brown took to Instagram to address it. He defended the price tag on the grounds that fans aren’t forced to pay these prices. They go VIP because they want to. “PSA,” he wrote. “When artist (everyone) does concerts, they all have something called a VIP package… I have the coolest fans on the planet. I appreciate the f*ck outta them. These are memories that will last them forever.”

Brown also took other artists to task for charging similar prices while blowing off their fans. “Unlike most of these lame a*s artist that won’t make eye contact with the people who made it possible to even have a career,” he wrote. “I only exist because these fans saw something in me I never thought possible. So Ima go all out for my fans!” The singer’s point is validated by the fact that the meet-and-greets are sold out at all of his 11:11 shows. This means Brown will take home a staggering $800K just from meet-and-greets alone.

😱 Kendrick Lamar Draws Shocking Number Of Fans Hoping To Get Tickets To “Ken & Friends”

Earlier this week, Kendrick Lamar took to his Instagram Story to make an exciting announcement. He revealed that he’ll be putting on his first post-Drake beef show later this month, and won’t be doing it alone. The event will take place on June 19th, also known as Juneteenth, at the Forum in LA.

It’s been dubbed “Ken and Friends,” though Kendrick has yet to confirm who will be joining him for the performance. Rumors are running rampant either way, and fans are hoping for appearances from some other TDE artists, Baby Keem, DJ Mustard, and more.

100K Kendrick Lamar Fans In Queue To See Him Live

In a screenshot posted by No Jumper from earlier today, it can be seen that over 100K fans were waiting in a queue to buy tickets. It’s unsurprising that the event generated a ton of interest, seeing as though Kendrick’s Drake diss “Not Like Us” has been sitting atop the charts for weeks now. He’s also managed to break various records with the now-infamous diss track. Nonetheless, those numbers are extremely impressive. Unfortunately, the Forum only has a capacity of 17.5K. Hopefully, at least some of his most dedicated supporters who got in the queue early will have the opportunity to attend.

Aside from possibly getting to catch a live version of “Not Like Us,” Kendrick fans are also hoping to get to hear some of his unreleased material. He’s speculated to have a new full-length album dropping sometime this year, though this is unconfirmed. What do you think of Kendrick Lamar announcing his first performance post-Drake beef? What about 100K fans sitting in the queue to secure tickets earlier today? Who do you hope will join Kendrick onstage?

Lil Wayne Reveals The Real Reason He Doesn’t Perform “Mona Lisa” Featuring Kendrick Lamar

Lil Wayne has an absolutely stacked catalog that spans over three decades, with so many hits that his concerts are always going to miss at least a couple of classics. But a recently surfaced clip from one of his concerts sees him give an explanation for why he doesn’t perform one of his biggest hits of the late 2010s: 2018’s “Mona Lisa” featuring Kendrick Lamar off of Tha Carter V. Of course, a lot of people might assume that this might be because of the K.Dot and Drake beef that reached its peak this year, given Weezy’s bond with Drizzy through Young Money. However, even though he has reason to obfuscate if this is really the case, his actual explanation for this omission seems much more reasonable and honest.

“People in front, listen, listen,” Lil Wayne’s remarks not performing “Mona Lisa” featuring Kendrick Lamar began. “This is the second time I seen this within my last three shows. Somebody had a sign that said to do ‘Mona Lisa.’ I’m not sure if that means you, if y’all said y’all real Lil Wayne.

“So if you real Lil Wayne fans, do you know I don’t know the lyrics to my s**t?” Lil Wayne asked the crowd. “Do you know how hard that f***ing song is, girl? You know what I mean? I don’t like to rap the words, but I’m going to learn that s**t. I’m going to learn it. I’m going to learn. I got you. This is for her and for the ‘Mona Lisa’ lovers. But this ain’t ‘Mona Lisa,’ but this for y’all. Let’s go,” he concluded before playing another song.

“That moment in the studio with Wayne, I never told Wayne this,” Kendrick Lamar had said of Lil Wayne a couple of years ago. “That changed my perspective on work ethic. These not no motherf***ing ‘fly by night’ verses. These is set right there and thought out right in front of your face. And he’s excited about it, and he’s loving music, and he loves what he’s doing. That gave me a whole other appreciation, and we took that same intensity and work ethic, and applied it moving forward.”
