DJ Khaled says he nearly lost his mansion in Miami in the mid-2010s while investing too much capital into his We The Best company. In doing so, he found himself struggling to make rent payments on the property. He recalled the tough period during a new interview with Rolling Stone.
“I remember I had like a month to come up with this [large] amount of money. I kept saying, ‘There’s no way in the world that we worked this much this far and we don’t have nothing to show for it.’ I changed that right away,” he recalled. “I was like, ‘Yo, if I want a family, I got to get my shit right.’ And I gambled on myself. I always bet on myself from day one. But I tripled down that day.”

Elsewhere in his conversation with the outlet, he discussed his upcoming album, Til Next Time. He says that the name is in reference to a transition he’ll be making into TV and film. “I’m treating it like it’s my last album. But it’s not a goodbye,” he said. “You’re going to start seeing and hearing about all these new things that I’m doing. I’m going to be doing more TV and film. We taking over the TV and film. That’s what Til Next Time is — it’s like, I’m going to give you an incredible album, but also while I’m giving you that incredible album, you’re going to see all these big new moves that I’m doing and new categories that we going to take over.”
In that vein, Khaled is currently producing a documentary on Shyne’s life. The rapper-turned-politican previously revealed that he’s heard Khaled’s Til Next Time and described it as a “masterpiece” on Instagram. Be on the lookout for further updates on Khaled’s new album on HotNewHipHop.

A lot of people have been talking about Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears in the wake of Britney’s new memoir. She released The Woman In Me last month which drew quite a bit of attention for her honesty in regard to how the music industry at large treated her. One of the people who came out looking the worst as a result of the memoir was Justin Timberlake. Britney revealed all kinds of details about their relationship which left fans pretty upset with Timberlake.
The first big reveal came in the form of the bombshell that Timberlake got Spears pregnant while the two were dating in the early 2000s. They reportedly both agreed that it wasn’t the right time to have a child though. In the memoir itself, Britney discusses the “excruciating” process of ending the pregnancy in secret. Even more disrespectful for fans was that Timberlake reportedly broke up with Spears by text. The backlash from her fans got so bad that Timberlake was forced to turn off all the comments on his Instagram.

I’m genuinely shocked and disappointed timbaland said this,” another comment reads. While some have tried to come up with justifications for the comments, most are calling him out for the disrespect.

Chirs Brown is one of the most prolific R&B crooners of this generation, if not the most. He drops albums fairly regularly and when he does they are massive listens. For example, his most recent offering, Breezy, was 24 songs and lasted over an hour and 20 minutes. But, it did not stop there.
A deluxe version came out, adding nine more cuts, extending the runtime to almost two hours. Finally, Chris Brown added one more extended edition on November 18 near the holiday season called, BREEZY – It’s Giving Christmas. It brought the final total to 35 songs with a listening experience lasting one hour and 56 minutes. Because of this, fans were saddened by the fact that 11 tracks were originally making the cut.

However, Brown decided to add another 11 songs. We already have some singles out for the project, with “Nightmares” being the most recent. This one features Byron Messia and it has a similar Afrobeat vibe like “Sensational” did. Furthermore, Sean Kingston has a production credit on it as well. Brown could possibly be taking this tape in a different direction based on what we have heard so far.
What are your initial thoughts on this brand-new single from Chris Brown and Byron Messia, “Nightmares?” Is this going to be the best song on 11:11? Are you excited about this new album, or will it be too long like the last few records? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this.

More time alone, soldier nah trust no one
If he ever see the pagan them, him turn evil (Yeah)
Him say, “Me depressed, so Henny my medicine”
It’s just me and my Remington

Drake’s love of basketball is well-documented, from his friendships with NBA stars to his noted gambling habit to his alleged purchase of $100,000 rings to celebrate a championship win in his rec league.
So, it’s only natural that his clothing line with Nike, NOCTA, would eventually get a line of basketball apparel and gear, along with a campaign featuring NBA all-star Kevin Durant. Durant previously appeared in Drake’s “Laugh Now, Cry Later” video featuring Lil Durk, which was shot at Nike’s Oregon headquarters campus. Here’s how you can get your hands on the new collection before it inevitably sells out and ends up on StockX for triple the price.
You can pull up (heh) on Nocta.com to check out the options currently in stock, which include basketball jerseys (of course) and shorts (absolutely), basketballs (naturally), shoes (they are Zoom Flight 95s, fam, just get those instead), base layer tops (why not), shooting sleeves (alright), socks (sure), and a “sideline trench” jacket (oh… kay). There are also tights, briefs, and caps if you want to go all out on the Drake-branded apparel thing, and a $400 Goretex rain jacket, which — where the hell are you planning to play? The usual assortment of sweats, tees, and the like are also on display, including pants with a Swarovski crystal Swoosh logo.
Dog, I swear, if you show up at a run with those on, you better play like Kevin Durant. Guys around my way aren’t having it.
Starting November 8 at 7 am PT / 10 am ET, you can also grab everything (except those crystal pants, I’m warning you, don’t do it) on the SNKRS app.

Kendrick Lamar’s song “XXX” (pronounced X-Rated) from his critically acclaimed album DAMN. is a sonic journey that delves deeper into the themes found across his fourth studio album, specifically those surrounding politics and religion. With a feature from the legendary Irish rock band U2, this track is a standout moment in the album, one that doesn’t necessarily receive the credit it deserves. Although the collaboration may have looked odd on paper, Kendrick Lamar and U2 delivered a poignant message that arrived towards the latter half of DAMN.
Produced by Mike WiLL Made-It and DJ Dahi, “XXX” boasts a unique and unconventional sound that mirrors the chaotic and uncertain times of 2017. The song opens with Bēkon’s hauntingly somber vocals (Bēkon later re-purposed this intro on “America) that reflect on the realities of the American Dream. However, it’s the minimalistic production that leads Kendrick Lamar’s first verse that allows each word to pierce through. He parallels biblical stories to the experiences he faced growing up in Compton as a child, specifically as it pertains to surviving the often volatile environment U2’s Bono lends his distinctive voice to the bridge, adding an unexpected but powerful layer to the track, crooning, “It’s not a place, this country is to me a sound / Of drum and bass, you close your eyes to look around.”

The significance of “XXX” lies in its lyrical content, which delves into themes of social injustice, racial tension, and political disillusionment. Kendrick Lamar, known for his thought-provoking and socially conscious lyrics, paints a vivid picture of the divisive state of the United States and the effects it has on its citizens. The song explores the idea of “wickedness or weakness,” suggesting that individuals are constantly tested by their environment and must decide whether to fight against corruption and inequality or succumb to it.
One of the most striking elements of “XXX” is its abrupt shift in the middle, where Kendrick’s flow changes, and he discusses his own struggle with violence and revenge, reflecting the inner turmoil faced by many people living in dangerous environments. This change of pace adds depth to the song, showcasing Kendrick’s storytelling prowess.

In conclusion, Kendrick Lamar’s “XXX” from DAMN. is a groundbreaking track that poignantly highlights the profound exploration of societal issues. Its unconventional sound, poignant lyrics, and collaboration with U2 create a powerful and thought-provoking experience.

Just when the internet digested the idea of Lori Harvey and Damson Idris potentially spending the rest of their lives together, the rumour mill is speculating that the pair have split. We’re still awaiting official confirmation from either the Memphis native or the Snowfall actor, but for now, their subliminal signs are telling us everything we need to know. The gossip began when social media sleuths noticed both stars removed all traces of each other from their Instagram pages.
On Monday (November 6), Idris was photographed arriving solo at NFL star Odell Beckham Jr.’s birthday party. Throughout their relationship, he and Harvey frequently partied together alongside their friends. The fact that they’ve now skipped that tradition for Kendall Jenner’s Halloween party, and last night’s function has only further raised questions about the status of their relationship. Even if he’s in his feelings over a split, Damson still looked dapper in his red, white, and blue Tommy Hilfiger polo.

Harvey was also in the Big Apple yesterday, first stunning on the red carpet at the CFDA Awards before later also stepping out to celebrate OBJ. It’s reasonable to assume that Idris and his alleged former lover would’ve arrived at the athlete’s party as a duo if they wanted to dispel the rumours that they’ve likely heard about by now. Instead, the Southern socialite rolled up on her own in little more than tights and a graphic tee, somehow still looking elegant.
