The ever evolving beef between Kim Kardashian’s former hubby Kanye West and her current beau Pete Davidson has everyone from Charlemagne Tha God to D.L. Hughley weighing in on the publicly controversial back and forth between the music/fashion mogul and his ex’s new comedian boyfriend. Now, boxing prospect/YouTube star Jake Paul has offered up $30 million to West and Davidson to square up on pay-per-view.

Even though it’s highly unlikely that West or Paul would step into the ring to fight, the offer by Paul is the bait that would seem to draw Ye out front for a response.

Fivio Foreign and Quavo In The Studio Working On New Music

Fivio Foreign has been racking up on many accolades in his career in the industry. Despite working with hip-hop greats such as Kanye West, Alicia Keys, Playboi Carti, and more, the New York drill rapper has still yet to release his debut studio album.

The album, titled B.I.B.L.E. (Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth), was initially set to release on March 25th, but the “Wetty” rapper announced this Sunday that he would be pushing the release date back until April, after believing that is it not quite ready yet.

“My album gon’ be pushed back,” he stated on Instagram. “I pushed it back one more time. This is the last time though, for sure. It was March 25, now it’s April 8. It ain’t really a reason or anything, I just wanted to make that sh*t perfect. I want it to be the perfect album. That sh*t is going to be viral. Stay tuned, that sh*t gon’ be viral. April 8.”

Previously, Fivio revealed that Kanye West would be producing his entire album, leading fans to believe that this pushback could be well worth the wait. Check out the snippet of his single featuring Quavo below!

Coi Leray Grateful For Industry Experiences Following Nicki Minaj Feature

It’s safe to say bottles in the club are on Coi Leray this weekend. The 24-year-old emcee recently announced her collaboration with Nicki Minaj, expected to release this Friday, March 18th, titled “Blick Blick.”

Just last month, Coi Leray made headlines after her father Benzino seemed to have spilled the beans on the upcoming collab during a clubhouse chitchat.

“She got the song with Nicki Minaj that’s gonna be coming out that’s gonna be crazy,” he revealed. The news immediately circulated the internet as people were excited for Coi Leray, who is still trying to beat the odds in the industry. Nicki Minaj denied any upcoming collaborations with anyone, and Leray told her father to let her handle her career.

“He gotta play the back gracefully because it’s my turn now,” Leray stated on Instagram. “You know? It’s my turn, daddy. I’ma need you to sit the fuck down, grab some popcorn, enjoy the show and clap for me when it’s time to clap for me.”

It seems as though her father didn’t take away the special moment for Leray after all, as Nicki Minaj admits to fans that she did pull away from her verse from the single. However, she continued to work with Leray because she really respects the New Jersey native as an artist.

“I did pull it,” Nicki responded to a fan. “The label hit me going hard. But rlly I had a private convo w/coi & that’s what changed my mind. Not the label. I just felt bad that she was robbed of telling the world in her own way @ her own time. But that’s water under the bridge now. Good vibes all 2022,” Minaj penned.

While fans were quick to defend Benzino, stating that he was actually telling the truth, Leray stepped on Twitter with a few words of her own following the exciting news. “My dad has to realize that Im my own person. Not only am I [an] artist but ima young black WOMEN FIRST and he has to understand his actions and what he does can possibly affect me overall as a brand. Most important part of it all is, all this is bringing me and him closer,” she wrote.

It’s great to see Coi Leray get her moment. Will you be tuned into “Blick Blick” this Friday?

Sending a 21 gun soldier salute Rest In Peace one of Hip Hop’s favorite crooners

There were many who tried, but nobody put R&B into Hip Hop the way it was supposed to sound better than the late, great Nate Dogg of the legendary Dogg Pound. The Source Magazine would like to send him a posthumous shout in recognition of his contributions to the game.

Besides his obvious links to Snoop Dogg and the original Death Row Family, Nathaniel Hale, born on this date in Clarksdale, Mississippi in 1969, Nate appeared alongside several iconic artists in the game including 2Pac, 50 Cent, Eminem, Mary J. Blige and Jay-Z. The world lost a talented singer, actor and musician when Nate succumbed to multiple strokes on March 15, 2011. He was 41 years old.

Condolences go out to Warren G, Dr. Dre, Snoop and the entire 213 on the day an entire community lost a Hip Hop legend.
