Kanye West & Ty Dolla Sign Team Up With Lil Wayne For “Lifestyle,” Featuring Bars About Taylor Swift

August 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign have finally released their highly-anticipated second collaborative album, Vultures 2. One track that’s causing waves on social media is the eighth song, “Lifestyle,” which features an appearance from Lil Wayne. With his verse, Wayne trolls Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift. “Ice up in my veins, old flames tryna melt me / I twist my Taylor spliffs tight at the end like Travis Kelce,” he raps. The bars are noteworthy considering West and Swift’s longstanding feud. Swift previously mentioned Kim Kardashian and West in an interview with TIME Magazine, in 2023, for the publication’s Person of the Year piece.

“Make no mistake—my career was taken away from me,” Swift remarked, referring to Kardashian leaking her and West’s phone call over the song “Famous.” “You have a fully manufactured frame job, in an illegally recorded phone call, which Kim Kardashian edited and then put out to say to everyone that I was a liar.” Wayne is one of several high-profile artists with appearances on the project. On other tracks, Don Toliver, Playboi Carti, Kodak Black, Future, Young Thug, and many more rappers all contribute. Be on the lookout for further updates on Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign as well as Vultures 2 on HotNewHipHop. Check out “Lifestyle” below.

Kanye West & Ty Dolla Sign Team Up With Lil Wayne

Quotable Lyrics:

And I start talkin’ dirty like I’m Nelly
Give me mouth and lip service like a celly
Codeine and cocaine, that’s Lisa Turtle when it’s Kelly
Ice up in my veins, old flames tryna melt me
I twist my Taylor spliffs tight at the end like Travis Kelce

Producer Sues Estate of Late Juice WRLD For Unpaid Royalties in “Girl of My Dreams” Song

July 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Well, here we go, another day, another legal claim. This time the estate of the late rapper Juice WRLD is in the crosshairs of Joshua Jaramillo. Let’s get into it …

Jaramillo is a producer who is suing Juice WRLD’s estate in a claims that is all too familiar in not just Hip Hop but music in general. TMZ reported he is looking to recover royalties owed to him for his work on one of Juice WRLD’s posthumous tracks.

Now you know TMZ are masters at getting their all seeing eyes on filed legal documents and in the paperwork, Jaramillo alleges he helped produce the 2021 song “Girl of My Dreams” and was promised 5% ownership of the track along with 1% of its royalties.

Sounds like a standard deal Not a huge percentage but depending how the song streamed and any other revenue that may have come from the song, that percentage could mean a few bucks.

Why sue now? Get this, despite repeated requests, Jaramillo asserts that he has not been fully compensated and has not been informed about the total earnings from the song. Naturally, he is seeking unspecified damages and a complete accounting of the track’s revenue. He wants his money owed and damages for all that comes with the ordeal. Lawsuit 101 tbh.

If you recall, Juice WRLD, born Jarad Higgins, tragically passed away in December 2019 at the age of 21 due to an accidental overdose. The worst thing ever, for real. The Medical Examiner’s Office reported that he had toxic levels of oxycodone and codeine in his system at the time of his death. Super sad. Hopefully this story ends with as little stress as possible for all those involved.

Kanye Finally Finds Buyer For Unfinished Malibu Mansion Under Construction

July 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West has finally found a buyer for his Malibu mansion, which had been sitting unfinished, gutted and pretty much an eye sore as far as beachfront properties go. The property entered escrow last Thursday, according to online records. So, yea, somebody is about to cut the check.

West had been trying to sell the estate for some time, and in April, he slashed $14 million off the original $53 million asking price from January, bringing it down to $39 million. That’s about 25%. Think he is taking a loss? Quite possibly.

The final sale price remains undisclosed – do don’t ask.

ICYMI, the mansion was stripped down as part of a renovation project that Kanye never completed. Like, eh, $50 million dollar crib. Let’s strip it down to the studs and just move onto something else. Gotta love it. Not to mention, the architect is like award winning. Ye left it in a state that requires significant repairs. The property lacks walls and feels nearly uninhabitable, making it a major fixer-upper for the new owner, assuming escrow closes successfully. Who ever is taking it on has a project on their hands.

Get this, Kanye enlisted the help of “Selling Sunset” star Jason Oppenheim to market the property. Oppenheim promoted the mansion as a blank canvas, which seemed to appeal to the buyer. Oh, Ye thought it was a canvas too. Let’s see how that works out.

Any who, the 4,000-square-foot estate includes 4 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, outdoor decks, and expansive views of the Pacific Ocean. Beautiful conceptually. Time will tell what it actually looks like when it’s all said and done.

Drake’s Massive Toronto Estate Damaged by Flooding After Record Rainfall; Jokingly Posts “This Better Be Espresso Martini”

July 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Drake can’t get a break these days and his home is yet again in the spotlight for the wrong reasons.

The 6 God recently posted on Instagram that his massive Toronto mansion called “The Embassy” was not immune to the record setting rainfall in the region on Tuesday, triggering flooding throughout his estate.

Widespread power outages were recorded across parts of Canada and sources say some 167,000 were without electricity following the storms.

Get this, on Drakes Gram story @champagnepapi, the “Tootsie Slide” rapper posted what appeared to be brown water flooding a vanity room, closet and more within his luxurious home.

Drizzy waded through the ankle-deep water and found a bit of fun in distressing scene by hilariously captioning the scene:

“This better be Espresso Martini.”

The 4 inches of rain across Toronto may have flooded 700 basements or more.

Drake’s mansion, was designed by Canadian architectural and interior designer Ferris Rafauli.

It’s beautiful.

The 50,000-square-foot estate features an NBA-sized indoor basketball court, a recording studio, an awards room, an indoor swimming pool, modern Art Deco interiors, and a chandelier made of over 20,000 Swarovski crystals, as highlighted in an April 2020 profile by Architectural Digest.

“Because I was building it in my hometown, I wanted the structure to stand firm for 100 years. I wanted it to have a monumental scale and feel,” Drake told Architectural Digest. “It will be one of the things I leave behind, so it had to be timeless and strong.”

Thankfully, Drake can afford the repairs and probably have to shell out hundreds of thousands to rectify the damage caused by massive flooding. Sadly many others in Toronto won’t be that lucky.

Wiz Khalifa Issues Apology To Romania After Overseas Weed Arrest

July 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

ICYMI, Wiz Khalifa was in Romania this past weekend performing at the Beach, Please! Festival in Constanța County and while that’s not really earth shattering news, Wiz, got himself arrested. Apparently, he lit a joint “cannabis under the shape of a craft cigarette,” and supposedly was in possession of additional cannabis. Now out in Romania, recreational marijuana is illegal.

Get this, according to a press release, that was translated thanks to Hollywood Reporter, he was in possession of over 18 grams of weed. Hmm, okay, that’s something.

So Wiz was released from custody pretty fast after the detainment and seems like he got himself a Popeyes chicken sandwich but more importantly issued an apology to the people of Romania.

“Last nights show was amazing,” Wiz tweeted Sunday. “I didn’t mean any disrespect to the country of Romania by lighting up on stage. They were very respectful and let me go. I’ll be back soon. But without a big ass joint next time.”

Glad Wiz is not being treated like an arch criminal. He obviously learned a lesson. On that note, check out his mea culpa below.

Wiz Khalifa Hit With Illegal Drug Possession Charge in Romania

July 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Wiz Khalifa just caught a case in Romania. Here we go, SMH. The charge? Illegal drug possession. Not to be taken lightly in Eastern Europe.

It all went down following a show at a seaside festival in Romania.

Get this, Wiz allegedly took a puff of cannabis on stage, prosecutors announced on Sunday. Just out in the open, huh?

The “Black and Yellow” rapper was headlining the “Beach, Please!” festival in Costinești, a village on the Black Sea, beautiful part of the world FTR.

Reports allege he was found in possession of the drugs Sunday morning, according to prosecutors out there.

Here’s what they said in a press release from the Directorate for the Investigation of Organized Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT) – Constanța Territorial Service:

“The prosecutors…ordered the initiation of criminal proceedings against a defendant (US citizen), investigated for the crime of unlawful possession of risk drugs.”

Okay, “Organized Crime and Terrorism” made a statement? Who do they think he is, Al Capone?

They went on to say in their grand statement:

“During a recital held at a music festival in the resort of Costinești, Constanța county, [Khalifa] possessed over 18 grams of cannabis (risk drug) and consumed another amount of cannabis on stage in the form of a craft cigarette.”

So obviously in Romania this is no laughing matter. Cannabis is actually classified out there as a “risk drug,” and possession of the substance is, get this – punishable by up to 10 years in prison. Sheesh.

Although While Khalifa has been hit with charges, he was not taken into custody. The investigation is ongoing. Now exhale. Pun intended.
