Fabolous Breaks his Silence About Emily B Assault

If you looking for a caterer, don’t call Fabolous. The rapper is exquisite with the bars but can only hold down himself in the kitchen. Loso hit Instagram and told his followers he “Decided to try to cook something” and showed a bag of Top Ramen, frozen mixed vegetables, and salmon. The food didn’t come out like Saweetie’s, thankfully, but it still leaves room for jokes online.

What do you think of his struggle meal?

Fabolous Breaks his Silence About Emily B Assault

Fabolous is one of best freestyle rappers in the game, and his young son might be following his footsteps. Over the weekend, while the Brooklyn rapper cruised around in his car, he caught his 6-year-old son Jonas, rhyming over a melodic instrumental.

During Jonas’ jam session, Fabolous recorded footage, which caught the young prodigy by surprise.

Fab proudly shared the video and commented “freestyles run in THE FAMILY.”

From his Summertime Stories,  Friday Night Freestyles, Fabolous’ expertise as a wordsmith has always been on display. Earlier in Fab’s career, he had Street Dreams, now he has dreams of doing music with his son.

Prior to sharing the video of Jonas freestyling, he shared a video of him producing a beat. On that video, he captioned, “Now I understand how Lebron feels about playing wit his son Bronny,” he wrote. “If i ever get to rap over a beat my 6 yr old @mrjonasjackson made I’ll be the happiest Dad ever.”

On this date in 2003, Brooklyn mixtape rapper turned star Fabolous survived the sophomore jinx, dropping his second album Street Dreams, which was released on DJ Clue’s Desert Storm/Elektra imprint.

With production from the likes of Kanye West, Timbaland, Just Blaze, Trackmasters, and Clue, this 20 track album was bound for platinum status. The LP debuted at number three on Billboard and officially sold a million copies and was certified platinum by the RIAA six months after its release.

Singles such as “Into You”, which featured Tamia (and an alternate version, featuring Ashanti), “Can’t Let You Go” featuring Lil Mo, “Trade It All” (Part 2) with Jagged Edge, and the “Keepin’ It Gangsta” remix all served to make this album one of Fab’s best commercial releases of his career.

Salute to Fab, Clue and the entire Desert Storm crew for this timeless piece of Hip Hop history!
