Dame Dash Fires Back At JAY-Z For His Latest Move Regarding “Reasonable Doubt”

by

Dame Dash isn’t fazed by JAY-Z’s attorneys filing a notice that the rights to his 1996 album Reasonable Doubt will switch from Roc-A-Fella to his possession in 2031. The label’s co-founder is still trying to sell off his shares of the company and reaffirmed his plans in a post on Instagram on Tuesday. “They can say what they want, this sh*t is still for sale,” he clarified. “You’re not buying a copyright, you’re buying a piece of a company ROC A FELLA INC. Please only serious inquiries only!”

Fans shared their support for Dame in the comments section of his post. “Rocafella wouldn’t be a household name if it wasn’t for Dame!! Marketing genius! Shout out to #Harlem,” one user wrote. Another top comment added: “Jay Z can’t break bread, he has to have the whole loaf, crust & crumbs.”

It’s unclear whether anyone will actually step up and buy the shares from Dame. Lupe Fiasco recently suggested that Drake has the means and should do so in a post on social media. “@champagnepapi will keep it safe for generations to come,” he wrote. “This is grail and influenced an innumerable amount of rappers to see it peddle such a lack of grace genuinely hurts my feelings a little bit. But also on savages st fk it…either donate it to a museums for safekeeping or seriously let Drake make an offer so he can put in where it needs to be. Or just keep the s**t OG you should be infinitely proud of this. Without it there is no me as I am and I’m sure other MC’s will agree.”

by

Jaden Smith allegedly has a new girl in the picture thanks to some sneaky snapshots from TMZ. The rapper, model, and actor is currently spending some time in Ibiza with an Instagram model who goes by Khleopatre. The photos are steamy, as these two were smacking lips intensely, grabbing backsides, and taking photos of each other. Jaden was exclusively performing those last two acts, though. Both were spotted taking dips into the gorgeous waters, as well as on their presumably private sailboat.

From the images, it seems that Jaden and Khleopatre were having a blast and really enjoying each other. As for their attire, the “Icon” MC was rocking some black compression shorts under pink and light blue striped swim trunks. Khleopatre, on the other hand, was revealing quite a bit more. She donned a barely-there matching black bikini set.

Kanye West And Ty Dolla Sign’s “Vultures 2” Suffers Steep Sales Fall Off In Week 2

by

Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign’s new album, Vultures 2, is looking at a major drop-off in its second week on the Billboard 200 chart. After debuting at number two and moving 107,000 album-equivalent units, DJ Akademiks reports that the project is only on pace to sell 31,000 units this time around.

In response to the news, fans have been sharing plenty of jokes on social media. “Give us drakes 3 track ep sale numbers,” one user on X (formerly Twitter) wrote. Another joked: “Now Kanye is competing with Latto.” One former fan wrote: “I never imagined Kanye would ever be selling this poorly. As a huge Kanye fan, I don’t even listen to him anymore. The last album I listened to was Jesus Is King.”

Despite only debuting at No. 2, Ty Dolla Sign mistakenly remarked that the project topped the Billboard 200 chart during a recent concert. “Number one motherf*cking album, man,” he told the crowd before performing the track, “Promotion.” In actuality, Taylor Swift beat out the duo with her latest project, The Tortured Poets Department. It was that album’s 14th week atop the chart.

In addition to falling sales, Vultures 2 has also been battling brutal reviews from critics. On Metacritic, the album is maintaining a score of just 40, positioning it as one of the worst hip-hop albums of the decade. A primary concern of reviewers was West releasing the project in an unfinished state. He’s since made several adjustments that fans have been appreciating. Be on the lookout for further updates on Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign on HotNewHipHop.
