Sukihana Clarifies What She Meant When She Said She “Sold Her Soul”

by

Sukihana is an artist who has exploded in popularity over the last couple of years. Overall, she has blown up thanks to the recent wave of raunchy rap that is extremely sexual in nature. Her and Sexyy Red are at the top of this lane right now, and fans have grown acustom to their outlandish lyrics. Sure, she might be polarizing, but if you want to be successful in 2024, that’s kind of the cheat code. Having said that, it hasn’t always been easy for Suki.

In a video posted to her social media in 2019, the artist was ready to quit music altogether. In fact, she came out and said that she had signed a horrible record deal and that she had ultimately sold her soul. Selling ones soul is a concept that has existed forever, and there is debate around what it actually means. Well, in an interview with Math Hoffa on My Expert Opinion, Suki got to clarify her statement. Essentially, she just meant that she was in a bad deal that didn’t give her ownership over her own work.

Sukihana Speaks To Math Hoffa

“I was in a street, hood contract,” she explained. “I was in a bad contract. That’s what I meant, but people take it out of proportion. I feel like if you do sign a contract and you don’t own a lot of your stuff, I feel like that’s selling out, that’s selling your sold.” Suki then went on to say that she is no longer in this deal. Instead, she is doing well for herself, and is excited to move forward with her current career. It’s always good to see an artist win, and we hope Suki is able to have continued success.

Saquon Barkley Could Sit Out NFL Week 1 If Extension Not Reached

by

At 4pm on July 17, the New York Giants will become unable to sign running back Saquon Barkley to a new contract until after the 2023 season. Barkley is currently set to play the 2023 season under the franchise tag after the Giants chose not to offer him a long-term extension. “Me getting tagged, was I upset about it? Nobody wants to get tagged,” Barkley in June. “To sit here and say I was frustrated, I was mad, I was upset, what really got me upset was the stories that got leaked out, how misleading they were, and how untruthful they were. I feel it was trying to paint a narrative of me, a picture of me, that is not even true. Not even close to being the truth.”

The contract deadlock comes during an offseason where Giants signed quarterback Daniel Jones to a $160 million extension. After being seen as a draft bust for much of his rookie contract, Jones led the Giants back to the playoffs last season. Barkley was drafted by the Giants in 2018, with the hype of a generational talent at the position. However, much of his career has been derailed by injury. In 2022, Barkley stayed healthy and recorded a career-high 1312 yards. However, now his career could be in peril for another reason.

Barkley Could Sit

If the deadline to sign Barkley to a longer deal passes, the 26-year-old has a big decision to make. Does he play under the tag or holdout for a bigger contract? According to ESPN‘s Dianna Russini, the latter is very much in play. “Saquon Barkley has made it clear the franchise tag is undesirable. I’m told his availability for Week 1 against the Dallas Cowboys will be in serious question if he does not get a long-term deal from the Giants,” Russini wrote on Twitter.

There have been a number of notable holdouts in the NFL in recent years. Deshaun Watson refused to play for the Texans due to disputes with the head office. However, that situation was also complicated by the first stirrings of the sexual misconduct scandal that Watson would become involved in 2022. Meanwhile, the last purely contract-motivated holdout was Le’Veon Bell in 2018. Bell left the Steelers after the 2018 season but his career nosedived. He played for four teams over the next three seasons and was out of the league before he turned 30. However, it’s hard to compare Barkley and Bell too much, given Bell’s notoriety.
