Cam’Ron Claims Kanye West’s Recent Behavior Is All A Performance

by

Many have been discussing Kanye West’s behavior for his entire career. He’s been a controversial public figure for almost two full decades now and every single fan and fellow rapper seems to have their own theories and explanations for his behavior. That was also the case for Cam’Ron, who recently sat down with the hosts of All The Smoke to discuss his take on the rapper, who he’s collaborated with multiple times in the past.

“Kanye, he play crazy with who he wanna play crazy with, you know what I’m saying? That n*gga’s crazy when it’s convenient,” he begins his argument. It’s certainly no secret that some of Kanye’s antics, particularly in recent years, have led many to question his mental state. “I seen Kanye about a year and a half, two years ago… the n*gga was sane as a m*thaf*cka! Two days later he going crazy on the news and all type of sh*t. Every time I seen Kanye he’s perfectly fine. I’ve never seen the crazy Kanye, personally. Ever,” Cam elaborated. Check out the video of his comments about Kanye below.

The date was then changed to New Year’s Eve, before being pushed back once again into January.

Kanye also recently announced plans to build an entire new city in the middle east. The ambitions plans were revealed by a call for collaborators on the project, which West claims will be over 100,000 acres.

Jermaine Dupri’s Father Accuses Bow Wow Of Refusing “Scream Tour” Lawsuit

by

Back in September, Jermaine Dupri’s father Michael Mauldin sued Bow Wow for allegedly using the trademarked name Scream Tour without permission. Mauldin would have needed to serve him a notice of the complaint within 90 days of filing, however, he claims that he’s been unable to do so. In court documents obtained by AllHipHop, he asks for an extension, accusing Bow Wow of refusing service of the complaint.

“The extension of time would aid in timely locating and serving defendant, who has been thus far unattainable since the initial filing of the complaint on September 21, 2023 due to the refusal of service by defendant’s counsel and the refusal of service at defendant’s address in Atlanta, Georgia,” the motioned, filed earlier this week reads. “The extension of time would also prevent further delay in the case by avoiding a dismissal without prejudice and subsequent refiling of the Complaint. The proposed extension of time to serve the Defendant would extend the current deadline from December 20, 2023 to March 19, 2024.”

While only time will tell what ends up happening with his trademark infringement lawsuit, Bow Wow has certainly kept busy in other areas of his life. For instance, he took to social media in October to share his thoughts on the current state of the music industry. According to him, music coming out these days is “trash.”

“All of this sh*t trash,” he told fans on Instagram Live. “All they have to do is get out of their bed and get on their laptop. It’s easy because of the internet, they utilize the internet. Sh*t takes work.” What do you think of this latest development in the legal battle between Bow Wow and Jermain Dupri’s father?

Playboi Carti Reveals DMs With Vince Staples

by

Playboi Carti has a new album coming out and it is by far the most anticipated project in hip-hop right now. Overall, fans just want to hear it. They know that it is going to be good, especially since all three singles so far have been great. Ultimately, Carti is changing up his sound, and the supporters are messing with it. Moreover, even the Carti skeptics can’t help but agree that his new vision is pretty damn good. Hopefully, the album is going to live up to those lofty expectations.

Throughout this rollout, a few artists have actually reached out to Carti. One of them was Drake, whom Carti was talking to just the other day. Most recently, however, he got a DM from none other than Vince Staples. Staples reached out to Carti directly and praised him for the new songs. The Whole Lotta Red artist took to his IG story and posted the DMs, saying “LOVE U CRIP.” In the message, Staples said: “Never forget what I told you way back when you the one outta the youth just keep being yourself. They’ll catch up.”

A collaboration between these two artists on Carti’s new album is highly unlikely. While they may respect each other’s work, they are in very different lanes. However, the fact remains that Carti is leaving a lot of people impressed with his new work. If he can keep this momentum going, then there is no doubt the new album could be a very early 2024 album of the year contender. If you were to ask his fans, they would say he already deserves that award, and then some.

Let us know what you think of the two new Carti songs, in the comments section below. Are they what you were hoping for from him? Or did you want something else from the artist?

Chance The Rapper Announces New Album Coming Next Spring

by

Fans of Chance The Rapper have been waiting a LONG time for a new album. His last project The Big Day dropped all the way back in 2019. And on top of the long time fans have had to wait for new material, many also weren’t that fond of his most recent release. The Big Day was panned by critics and fans alike for the seemingly low-effort style of much of Chance’s writing and performances. He hasn’t exactly been silent since then, releasing a number of singles in the years since. But now fans finally have a concrete timeline of when they can expect a new project from Chance.

He’s been teasing a new album called Star Line Gallery for years now. While very little has been known about the album, Chance recently made a major revelation. During an Instagram Live he surprised viewers with a surprise announcement. “My album coming out next Spring” he says in a clip from the live. Even though it isn’t a precise release date fans were hyped to hear that the album is nearing completion and Chance plans on releasing it relatively soon. Check out the announcement video and some of the fan reactions to it below.

Bill Belichick Says Balls Were Underinflated For Patriots-Chiefs

by

Bill Belichick has confirmed that the balls used for placekicking during Patriots-Chiefs last weekend were underinflated. “We don’t have anything to do with it. Were we aware of it? Yeah, definitely. As I understand it, they were all the same. I don’t know what the explanation is. It was the same for both teams. You’d have to talk to the league about what happened on that. That part of it, they control all that,” Belichick said during his weekly press conference. The news was first reported by MassLive but any parallel to the infamous Deflate-gate scandal were dismissed as the issue affected both teams.

Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker, who missed his first field goal of the season in the first half against the Patriots, said he was informed of the deflation at halftime. “[They told me] the balls were a little deflated [and] they just let me know they pumped [them] up,” Butker said. Furthermore, he didn’t blame his miss on the state of the ball. “I think it was technique, one of those misfires that you wish you had back. My second kick of pregame warmup, I had a 38-yarder middle, and it kind of sliced off to the right like that. So it showed up, kind of, in warmup. I made a lot of big kicks with flatter balls, and shoot, even in college, I kicked a lot of flat balls,” Butker added.

Chiefs Kicker Explains Deflated Ball Situation

Furthermore, Butker revealed that a kicker can tell the different between balls in various states of inflation. “I didn’t notice anything on that opening kickoff and then second half, once you make that [field goal], you have the kickoff and you can feel the ball. And it was noticeably more pumped up. But again, cold weather is going to make the inflation go down. I’ve even had games where the bladder of the ball might pop or something, and maybe you feel it on kickoff and then you just ask for a different ball. So stuff like that happens and you just roll with it. I’ve made decent kickoffs with balls that maybe aren’t perfect 13 PSI indoor room temperature, but it’s just kind of the nature of the game. Sometimes that stuff happens,” Butker explained.

Despite Butker also calling the process “routine”, the situation has called back memories of Deflate-gate. The Belichick-led Patriots were fined $1M, docked two draft picks, and lost QB Tom Brady for four games after it was determined that they purposefully underinflated balls to gain a competitive advantage in the 2015 AFC Championship Game.
