IDK & Young Thug Link For “PradadaBang”

by

We’re receiving more music from IDK now that he’s in full album mode as the release of USEE4YOURSELF looms, and for his latest single, he teamed up with Young Thug. IDK has been making major moves behind the scenes with new partnerships with both Nike and Harvard. The famed Ivy League university has linked with IDK for a new business school program that reportedly caters to Black, Indigenous, and People of Color.

IDK and Blue Rondo are responsible for production on “PradadaBang” with Young Thug, and it’s a track that targets women who are in it for the cash, more than love. The two ping pong back and forth throughout as the track paves the way for USEE4YOURSELF‘s arrival next week.

“The idea of love is a complicated thing,” IDK previously shared in a post about the record. “It’s even more complicated for a black man in an environment that limits your vulnerability. I needed the truth to heal. I’m only now starting to see that.” Stream “PradadaBang” and let us know what you think.

Quotable Lyrics

We get in one argument
You gon’ live in that purse when I’m kickin’ you out
I don’t f*ck with no broke b*tches, ain’t no doubt
That be chasin’ them rich n*ggas for the clout
Put they head in the ceilin’, in the clouds (Poof)
And then they go runnin’ they mouth (Uh-huh)

Logic Is Back With His Quick-Rhyming Single “Vaccine”

by

Aside from declaring that his retirement is over, Logic has been enigmatic about what fans can expect in the months to come. He had a good run with Madlib, dishing out several singles under their combined MadGic moniker, and while there were rumors that the rapper-producer pair would be releasing a joint project sometime soon, there have been few updates regarding that collaboration.

Two weeks ago, Logic resurfaced with his single “Intro,” his first release since announcing his retirement was a thing of the past. On Friday (July 2), he popped back in with another delivery, this time with a track titled “Vaccine.” Once again Logic stands alone as he spits bars over a beat he created alongside 6ix. Stream “Vaccine” and let us know what you think of Logic’s latest.

Quotable Lyrics

I be right back in a bit
Sippin’ on something, I’m lit
Internet throwin’ a fit
Couldn’t give a sh*t, b*tch get the f*ck off my d*ck
This is that sh*t that gon’ hit (Bet!)
Bobby don’t play no set, but it’s just me and my gang
Ready to f*ck up the game
BT3 now we at it again, mane

Machine Gun Kelly “Good News” Film To Get New Name Following Mac Miller Backlash

by

After being called out by Mac Miller’s brother, changes are being made to Machine Gun Kelly’s upcoming film, Good News. The title of the movie gives a nod to Miller’s first posthumous single “Good News,” and the storyline of the film is said to be inspired by fallen artists like Miller, Juice WRLD, and Pop Smoke. Kelly is set to portray an artist trying to make his way in the industry, but Miller’s brother, Miller McCormick, wasn’t impressed.

“F*ck you, f*ck your movie, at least change the title,” McCormick recently wrote on social media.

After McCormick’s reaction went viral, production reportedly issued a statement regarding the controversy. “Our film is about a fictional musician on the rise with a troubled life. It’s not in any way a biopic or based on any artist’s true life. We realize the title, which was intended as an homage to Mac Miller, and other artists gone too soon, feels disrespectful.”

The statement continued, “We’ve heard from many people on social media who have found offense with the title so, without hesitation, we will change it.” Filming will reportedly begin on July 8 ini Los Angeles. At this time, it is unclear ho will star in the film alongside MGK.

Demi Lovato Crowns Lizzo A ‘F*ckin Queen’ For Correcting Their Pronouns To The Paparazzi

Toward the end of May, Demi Lovato revealed that they now identify as non-binary and have changed their pronouns to they/them. The news was shared during a video introduction to a new series called, 4D With Demi Lovato.

“This has come after a lot of healing and self-reflective work,” they said with the announcement. “I’m still learning and coming into myself, and I don’t claim to be an expert or a spokesperson. Sharing this with you now opens another level of vulnerability for me.”

It’s been more than a month since Lovato shared this and while some have adjusted to the change, people like Lizzo have no issue with correcting those who fail to use the correct pronouns for Lovato. An example came when the paparazzi caught up with Lizzo, who was wearing a shirt with Lovato’s face on it, after she attended dinner at Catch LA.

“Is that a message to Demi? Should she reach out?” one of the photographers asked Lizzo in a video, to which she replied, “They,” while holding out her finger. The photographer seemed to miss Lizzo’s correction and continued, asking, “Have her team contact your team?”

Lizzo once again corrected them, saying, “Their team,” adding, “Demi goes by they now.” After catching wind of the video, Lovato reposted it to their Instagram Story and wrote, ”@lizzobeeating you f—ing queen I love you [kissing emoji] thank you.” Lizzo reshared the post to her Story with a heart emoji.

You can watch the video of Lizzo’s interaction with the paparazzi above.

Lizzo is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Sha’Carri Richardson Allegedly Tests Positive For Marijuana, Faces Olympics Suspension: Report

by

She has recently been celebrated for her triumphant performance dominating the 100-meter heat in 10.64 seconds, making her the fastest woman in the world. The win secured Sha’Carri Richardson a spot on America’s Olympic team, but on Thursday (July 1), reports surfaced that the sprinter allegedly failed a drug test. It was initially reported that Richardson “tested positive for a prohibited substance,” and soon, rumors of what that substance could be ran wild online.

Enquirer reporter Tyler Dragon surfaced on Twitter with an update, claiming that he has spoken with sources that confirmed Richardson did not test positive for steroids, as first thought.

However, he did report that Richardson’s Olympic Trials tests showed marijuana and the runner is reportedly facing a 30-day suspension as a result. Earlier today, Richardson shared a cryptic tweet that read, “I am human” without further explanation. There is speculation that she could be disqualified from the Olympics altogether, but it is reported that if a 30-day suspension is put in place, Richardson will miss the next 100-meter event.

CBS News states that Richardson’s “Olympic Trials win has been provisionally disqualified. Jenna Prandini, who came in fourth in the event at the trials, is expected to replace her if the disqualification stands.” Richardson has also reportedly withdrawn from this weekend’s “Diamond League meeting in Stockholm, where she was scheduled to run the 200 meters.”

Following her Olympic Trials win, Richardson told reporters, “This year has been crazy for me. Going from just last week, losing my biological mother, and I’m still here. … Last week, finding out my biological mother passed away and still choosing to pursue my dreams, still coming out here, still here to make the family that I do still have on this earth proud. … I’m highly grateful for them. Without them, there would be no me. Without my grandmother, there would be no Sha’Carri Richardson. My family is my everything, my everything until the day I’m done.”
