Promoters have been put on blast more than once in the last few days. Award-winning singer Kelly Price is an unproblematic celebrity, but she took to the internet to share her anger after she performed and a promoter didn’t pay her. Jeezy, too, took issue with an event he recently did after fans complained that he didn’t perform, however, the Rap mogul jumped online to clarify that he wasn’t hired to take to the stage.
“You know I have to send a PSA out to my city, my second home, Detroit,” said Jeezy in the clip. “So listen, this how it go. I came to the city to give away a thousand bikes to a thousand kids. That was my initiative and we did that and it was very successful, so shout out to everybody that came through.”
“Now, this day party, which was a day party and not a performance. A day party, contractually, in the contract it says, ‘day party.’ I just wanted to pull up and see my people real quick,” he continued. “Get in and get out. It was unorganized, understaffed, and chaos. I got there, nobody knew what to do. They wanted to put me in the skybox for me to watch the crowd from there. Absolutely not. I got my crew together, we walked down to the bleachers so we could see the people.”
Jeezy added that he wanted to make his way down to the field but the promoter couldn’t get him there. He told the public that it’s nothing but love between him and his supporters, but if they’re upset because he didn’t perform, they needed to contact the promoter to see if they could get a refund.

What led up to this confrontation is debatable, but various clips from a scene outside of a Philadelphia nightclub have gone viral. From what can be gathered, Akbar V, Alexis Skyy, and Lira Galore were all at the same club when there was some sort of disagreement. According to Alexis, she and Lira were booked to host an event and Akbar showed up. None of the women had any animosity with each other before they saw one another at the club, it seems, but Alexis said that Akbar began getting hostile without provocation.
In an Instagram Live session, Akbar claimed one of the women complained about Akbar looking at her funny. While this doesn’t seem like a reason to go to blows outside of a club, Alexis said on her Instagram Live that that’s exactly what happened.
“I have way to much going on positive in my life I , We have to pray for people like this,” Alexis wrote on her Instagram Story. “You called TC to come out to me and Lira hosting trying to prove a point in Philly … when that’s not your city. We never invited you once again & then you come starting drama for no reason you need some spiritual help & the only person that can help you is God.”
Akbar also recently had her Instagram deleted so Alexis added, “Be blessed Akbar someone help her get her IG back.” Meanwhile, Akbar tweeted that neither Lira nor Alexis will be safe in Atlanta, but Lira wasn’t fazed. “ATLANTA my second home,” Lira wrote on her Story. “AND I BE OUTSIDE. Ima TIP TOE WHEREVER I PLEASE . A b*tch can’t EVER TELL ME WHERE I CAN’T GO [crying laughing emojis] B*tch PLZ. Ion think y’all know how tf I get DOWN.”
Akbar has received backlash for the altercation as people accused her of bullying the two women. Check out the posts, explanations from all sides, and various angles of the altercation.

Drake and Rick Ross did it, once again, when they teamed up for “Lemon Pepper Freestyle.” The two have never missed on wax together and their collective ear for production is truly unmatched. So, when they came through with the stand-out cut off of Scary Hours II, it seemed inevitable that it would become the latest song that every rapper ends up remixing.
Meek Mill and Yung Bleu are just a few of the rappers who’ve tackled the production, and now, Toosii shares his take on “Lemon Pepper Freestyle.” Toosii uses the three-minute track as an opportunity to reflect on his many wins in his career and the lessons learned on his road to the top.

N***as bitches don’t argue, they just get a lil’ sassy
I don’t argue back ’cause the 30 round with the mag be
In the banana clip with smiley faces, my trigger finger happy

It seems Akon is taking notes from Tyrese’s playbook. Back in December, we reported on Tyrese running into a bit of trouble after his SUV was stolen right out of his driveway. He reportedly left the key FOB inside, making it easy for thieves to just drive the Range Rover off of the actor’s property. The vehicle was quickly found and Tyrese shared on social media that he planned on bailing the car thieves out of jail because they were just trying to make money.
Last week, Akon fell victim to vehicle theft, as well, while he was reportedly at a gas station. He left his car running and according to reports, someone hopped in and took off.
Much like Tyrese’s case, Akon’s Range Rover was quickly located, and on Monday (May 31), The Shade Room reported that they spoke with a “source” close to Akon who confirmed that the mogul didn’t plan on pressing charges. “That was him before he was blessed with this success so he understands the struggle,” the source reportedly stated.
“He doesn’t plan to press charges so he hopes they take that as a second chance to focus on a more positive approach to getting out the hood and make use of the time they have out of jail to better their lives.” Would you press charges if someone took off with your car?

The TDE camp has fans anticipating new music from just about everyone on the roster. Last month, they began to hint at a mysterious release that left fans wondering who out of the Top Dawg Entertainment roster would be dropping. Turns out, it was Isaiah Rashad. The Chattanooga, TN native unveiled “Lay Wit Ya” ft. Duke Deuce — an energetic crunk banger that offered fans a glimpse into his follow-up to 2016’s The Sun’s Tirade.
Today, the rapper shares another new record, though it didn’t actually make the cut for his upcoming album, The House Is Burning. Isaiah Rashad shared “200/Warning” which breaks down into two parts. “200” dives deeper into the Memphis-influence found on “Lay Wit Ya” with breezy guitar strings reminiscent of the production on Cilvia Demo. The Three 6 inspiration carries onto the second half of the song, “Warning” with jazz percussion brightening up the production. Nabeyin, Amaire Johnson, Rory Behr, Almatic, and Kenny Beats are credited as producers on the record.
No release date has been set for The House Is Burning but it is expected to drop in June.
Peep his new track below.
Quotable Lyrics
