Blac Youngsta Mourns The Loss Of His Brother: “Life Will Never Be The Same”

by

Blac Youngsta recently suffered an earth-shattering tragedy in his life that made many fans reach out with their condolences. Moreover, the rapper’s brother unfortunately lost his life in a shooting at a Memphis gas station, reports indicated. At the time that these developments emerged on social media, no outlets were able to confirm in a surefire way that it was the CMG MC’s relative who had been killed. However, he took to his Instagram Story to share a brief but saddening tribute to his brother. While it was vengeful, heartbroken, and deeply tragic, we hope Youngsta finds the strength to heal healthily and privately amid this loss.

“I Love U Baby Brother Rest Up,” Blac Youngsta wrote along with several broken heart emojis. “I’m Gone Make The World Pay. I Swear To God Nobody Safe. Standing Over Everybody. Everybody #4LIFE. Gone Make Sure They Feel Me I Promise. Life Will Never Me The Same But God Got Me. I’m The Strongest Man N The World.” Furthermore, fans and regular viewers alike shared their sympathies and hoped that his other feuds and rap beefs, or just violence in general within their community, will not result in more bloodshed.

Blac Youngsta Speaks Out After Brother’s Death

As far as the tragedy itself, it took place on Friday (August 18) at a BP station on South Parkway East around 9:30am in Memphis. Police were able to confirm the event, but not the identity of the deceased individual in question. Regardless, it seems like outlets still caught wind of the relation, as publications like No Jumper claimed that the victim was Blac Youngsta’s brother, though no official source existed for it. With this new tribute message in mind, further details concerning the shooting will likely emerge in the coming days or weeks.

Meanwhile, it’s an especially disheartening loss, given that the two should’ve been enjoying the 33-year-old’s new music releases together. Still, memories live on, and surely Youngsta will continue to pay tribute to his brother’s memory throughout his life and career. It’s a hard time for Memphis, and stories like these remind us of the importance of coming together, not driving each other apart. Stay posted on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Blac Youngsta.
Rest In Peace.

Jim Jones Mourns Takeoff On “Drink Champs”

by

Iconic New York rapper Jim Jones once again returned to the Drink Champs studio to chop it up with N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN. There was a lot on the table, which is fitting for a man of Jones’ reputation. One of the topics was Jones helping kickstart Kid Cudi’s career. “What’s the dude that sings ‘Day ‘N’ Nite’? You know how he got his stardom? Dudes wanted to direct a video for me at the time. I was like, ‘Shit, let me see some of the videos y’all directed.’ He was on the roof looking crazy and shit. I’m like, ‘I’ll let y’all do the video if y’all tell this kid [to] give me his beat, so I can remix this record,’” Jones recalled. “Somebody ripped it off the internet from HOT 97…That’s how Kid Cudi ended up getting his deal.”

He also took time to address the rise of Michael Rubin’s White Party. “No disrespect to Michael Rubin, and this is not about that. It’s about the power that we have that he’s tapping into ‘cause he knows we have that power. We need Diddy to come back out. The Black Party. It’s not even about a Black or white thing. It’s just that we have the power to do the same type of things.”

Jones Mourns Takeoff

However, the most emotional part of the interview came during a discussion of Migos. Jones reportedly recorded the final Migos track, “We Set The Trends”, before Takeoff’s tragic passing. “Yeah. RIP, Takeoff. I’ll miss your soul, baby boy. He was just a great person, I had a great relationship with him,” Jones stated. “It would make me feel good to know that someone like Takeoff was giving me my flowers. We came to the studio in LA. He said, ‘Where you at? I’m pulling up.’ We in the studio, he’s like, ‘Nah, we gotta get on, Unc.’ [The] producer started playing beats. He’s like, ‘This it. This it.’ He did his hook, and he did his verse, and then I did a verse. Then I was like, ‘Nah, I gotta come back and fix my shit tomorrow,’” the artist continued.

Elsewhere, Jones played coy about his beef with Pusha T. “Shout out to Pusha T, very dope artist. Everybody knows he’s a monster when it comes to doing music. I can’t take nothing away from him,” Jim Jones explained. The Harlem rapper continued, “I know everybody seen everything that was going on inside the media and the internet. I believe it was cool. For one time in my life, I got to engage in some verbal warfare, and it don’t have to go beyond that.” Be sure to watch the full episode, now live on YouTube.

Kid Cudi Mourns His Grandma

It’s sad that the 39-year-old won’t get to enjoy this release with his grandma, but we’re sure she will be with him every step of the way. Although it was in a much lighter context, and perhaps is insensitive to refer to within this piece, Kid Cudi recently shared how he sees himself aging. This was after fans clowned him for hopping on the McDonald’s Grimace shake trend. “I see people dont get my humor and thats ok but dont be an a**hole on here cuz im being myself,” he wrote on Twitter. “I dont care what anyone thinks, ima always be myself. My silly goofy self. And my friends and family love me for it.”

“Soooo im suppose to like, lose my childlike spirit becuz im almost 40??” he continued in other tweets. “Maybe thatll be ur sad fate my friend, but ima be a happy silly dude til im old and grey. As u get older life sucks ur soul from u bit by bit and u lose that light u had inside when u were a kid. Ive always fought to preserve this spirit becuz I knew I didnt want to lose it.” For more news and the latest updates on Kid Cudi, check back in with HNHH.
Rest In Peace to Scott Mescudi’s grandmother.
