Another artist has taken issue with their label. For as long as the music industry has existed, so have stories about artists being at odds with their labels, management teams, or agencies. Doja Cat called out her label over incorrect lyrics, Tory Lanez put Interscope on blast back in 2019, Summer Walker stated that her label didn’t approve on her posts about protests, and now Smokepurpp has a bone to pick with Alamo Records.
The rapper recently shared his Psycho EP earlier this month and has been pushing his singles and music videos to support the project, but something behind-the-scenes has the rapper unnerved. “@alamorecords y’all got 24 hrs before I expose everything you guys do and how y’all do Your ‘artist,'” wrote Purpp. “If this post gets deleted y’all know exactly who it was. STOP TAKING THIS POST DOWN B4 I GO LIVE.”
The rapper also added, “Go tell them b*tch ass n*ggas @alamorecords f*ck you and free purpp.” He didn’t specify why he’s airing out his contention with his label, but his posts have been taken down. It’s unclear if he’ll make good on going Live to discuss his issue. Check out the posts below.
Tekashi 69 has come after a number of artists and celebrities throughout his career. It was just last week that he was involved in an altercation with Meek Mill at a Miami parking lot. Now, Tekashi has shifted his attention to a new target: Cardi B. In a post to his Instagram Story, the rapper asked his followers, “If I took women to hotels and drugged them and then robbed them would I be canceled?” The question was a reference to a March 2019 Instagram Live session that Cardi held in which she said she drugged and robbed clients back when she was a stripper.

Cardi joins a long list of people Takashi has attacked, in one form or another. Last year, a video of him allegedly taunting boxer Gervonta Davis made its way to social media, though at least it didn’t escalated into an actual fight. He also mocked King Von’s death just days after the rapper passed away from a gunshot wound in Atlanta. Tekashi left a laughing emoji under an Instagram post that detailed how Lil Durk, a close friend of Von, learned about his death, an action that left hip-hop fans extremely furious at him.

The allegations recently made against T.I. and his wife Tiny are serious, and the couple isn’t taking them lightly. However, they’ve remained adamant that they never were involved in forcing anyone to do anything non-consensual, and while they were ridiculed in the headlines and on social media apps, we recently reported that there aren’t any lawsuits against or investigations into the famed Hip Hop couple. Their reality series, T.I. & Tiny: Friends & Family Hustle, has been placed on pause for the time being, and once again T.I. has come forward with a message about facts and fiction.
He recently caught up with The Shade Room for a virtual interview where he was asked how he manages his presence in the media, whether it be good or bad. “Focus on my truth and my purpose,” said T.I. “You know what I’m sayin’? Can’t nobody tell me about me. You dig what I’m sayin’? Your opinion of me will never overrule my opinion of myself. Your fantasy of me will never overrule my fact of myself. The facts that I know about me, about my life. That’s what I’m gon’—I’ll never—the tail shall never wag the dog, ya dig.”
“I think that, you know, one thing social media has shown us, and society at large, is one, that anytime a Black man is in a position of power and he uses his platform to speak on behalf of the community and to help people who need the most help…that’s gon’ be objected to, challenged, ridiculed,” T.I. continued.
“I mean, from Malcolm X to John Africa to anybody. To Fred Hampton, it’s gon’ always be challenged as long as you tryin’ to be a voice for the voiceless. You just gotta believe enough in your purpose. Stand up, and go on through it. But other people’s fantasies and fiction of me will never overrule the facts I know of myself.” Do you agree with him?

For those who say R&B is on the decline, Bobby V returns with an offering that says otherwise. The singer launched his career in the 1990s as apart of the group Mista, and soon, he became a solo act with three No. 1 albums under his belt. As a veteran in the industry, Bobby V is making it known that he’s not slowing down anytime soon, and recently, he shared his smooth slow jam, Reply.
In March, Bobby V slated to release his forthcoming album The Appetizer, and to whet his fans’ appetites, he shared his latest single, “Reply.” On the track, the singer wants to link up with a lady friend but she has yet to hit him back. “I’m just so thankful and appreciative of all my family, friends, and fans. They motivate me daily and are the reason why I keep going,” says Bobby in a statement. “They are the real MVPs. I am excited for this new album and new chapter going into 2021.”
Stream “Reply” and let us know what you think
Quotable Lyrics
Please tell me you could read my mind
Before I get to textin’ you
And usually, I’m not hat type
But I really wanna come through
Girl, I got some things in mind
That I wanna do
And I can’t even relax
Until You hit me back, babe, yeah

Drill is not going anywhere anytime soon. As it emerged into mainstream consciousness throughout 2020, the sound that particularly associated with Brooklyn’s rendition of drill began to make its way across America. However, it’s still Brooklyn that’s holding the flag high these days.
Canarsie rapper Quelly Woo is one of the most exciting names bubbling in the Brooklyn drill scene. With tones of Pop Smoke’s raspiness scattered in his delivery, he slid through with his third single from his forthcoming project, Tactical Pressure. “Pain Into Passion” is a guttural banger that finds Quelly reflecting on the brightside of things and turning his losses into wins.
Check out the latest banger from Quelly Woo below and keep your eyes peeled for Tactical Pressure dropping April 2nd, 2021.
Quotable Lyrics
My demons ain’t don’t got a conscience
Slam a n***a, Onyx
Take off, Sonic
Shake it, earthquake
Said she want me in the worst way
Although she’s been actively working on her music for some time, it seems that Cardi B has only been receiving her shine for the last few years. Cardi went from stripping to being a social media star, then she moved on to reality television on Love & Hip Hop New York where viewers witnessed her rap dreams get dodged by her co-stars. Now she’s a Grammy-winning artist whose tracks reach the No. 1 spot effortlessly, but Cardi recently sat down with Mariah Carey for Interview magazine where she spoke about her fears in releasing her second album.
In the industry, the sophomore slump is a real thing as many artists believe their second album can ride the successful wave of the first. However, those with hit debut records often find themselves wondering why their sophomore efforts tank. Carey wanted to know if Cardi was concerned about the unofficial curse.
“People always have crazy expectations, especially when it comes to female rap,” said the Bronx artist. “It’s not like it’s a competition, but people are always comparing and comparing and comparing. It’s almost like they want to see you fail.” We often see this when fans of artists pit women in Rap against each other when they aren’t even at odds.
“I hate the feeling when I don’t do something really good,” Cardi continued. “So I want my sh*t to be good because my last album did so well, and if this one doesn’t do well, I’m going to feel really sad.” Her Bardi Gang is awaiting news of Cardi’s next project. “Up” is the first offering from the record, leaving many to believe that the album will arrive sooner than later.
