YK Osiris Cries In Instagram Post Celebrating Independent Release

by

YK Osiris has had a turbulent time in the wake of his drama with Sukihana. The rapper was caught on video being extremely physically forward with her during a basketball game last month. Dozens of fans and celebrities weighed in on the controversy and the video went extremely viral. Osiris issued an apology but many, including Sukihana’s own mother felt like it was deeply insufficient. He ultimately issued another apology later on. Instead of laying low, he’s remained pretty active on social media. He weirded plenty of fans out when he posted a bizarre staged video to his Instagram with veiled responses to his controversy.

A few days after that video was posted YK Osiris returned to Instagram. This time he treated fans to a snippet of an upcoming song he was working on. The track seemed to address his die-hards directly and was titled “Dear Fans.” Now the song is finally out and he celebrated it with another strange video. The short clip features Osiris crying and is accompanied by a caption celebrating his shift to independent releases. “THANK U GOD 🙏🏾🙏🏾 MY FIRST INDEPENDENT RECORD DROPPED , I COULDN’T ASK FOR NUN ELSE 🔥🙏🏾🙏🏾❤ ‘DEAR FANS’ OUT NOW LINK IN BIO,” the caption reads.

YK Osiris Drops First Song Since Sukihana Drama

The last time YK Osiris addressed his fans it was with a different tone. Last month he made a post claiming that fans were “putting him in his place” following all the Sukihana drama. Fans weren’t the only ones doing it either as numerous fellow rappers came to Suki’s defense.

YK Osiris hasn’t released a studio album since 2019’s The Golden Child. His biggest hit song “Worth It” peaked at number 48 on the Hot 100. While he hasn’t had any other songs of his own chart he has appeared on one other. Dababy’s 2019 hit “Gospel” features Osiris alongside Chance The Rapper and Gucci Mane and peaked at number 55. What do you think of YK Osiris’s newest bizarre Instagram video? Let us know in the comment section below.

Brent Faiyaz Shuts Down Major Label Deals In Favour Of Staying Independent

by

It’s been quiet on Brent Faiyaz’s front since he delivered WASTELAND back in 2022. Thankfully, the R&B crooner came back to Instagram on Monday (May 1) with some major news, which he’s only been able to top in the time since. Not only does he have a collaboration with Marshmello dropping as his first single of the year on Friday (May 5), but he’s also heading out on tour later this summer and for most of the fall. The F*ck The World It’s A Wasteland tour will kick off on July 16th, followed by stops in North American cities like Chicago, Toronto, Miami, Houston, Oakland, and Los Angeles before he heads overseas to the United Kingdom for more fun.

While in Europe, Faiyaz is set to hit up Glasgow, London, Stockholm Copenhagen, Berlin, Milan, and Barcelona, among other beautiful cities before closing things out with a final concert in Paris on November 19th. Tickets will go on sale to the general public this Friday at 10 AM PDT, while presale will take place on Thursday (May 4). While fans of the “ALL MINE” artist wait in the online queue to purchase their passes, they’ll at least be able to stream his upcoming “Fell In Love” single.

Brent Faiyaz Announces 2023 Tour Dates

Brent shared a teaser of the highly anticipated song earlier this week, along with a video that sees him seemingly putting the charm on a love interest. “You ain’t fall in love with me,” he sings. “You fell in love with the man I could be.” As always, the 27-year-old proved that he knows his demographic all too well and that plenty of women who have a habit of seeing potential, rather than what’s right in front of them, will certainly be un their feelings over this one.

Along with all of those announcements, it was also revealed by Variety that the Maryland native has turned down several major label record deals in favour of remaining independent. He’ll be partnering with UnitedMasters for the time being, who hope to “further amplify his creative vision and support his entrepreneurial ambitions” through their work together. Check out Brent Faiyaz and Marshmello’s “Fell In Love” single teaser below, and tap back in with HNHH this weekend to stream it along with our other new release recommendations.
