[WATCH] Polo G Breaks Silence On His Mother Shooting At His Sister

Screenshot 2024 08 05 at 10.25.46 PM

Back in June, a video made rounds on social media which showed Stacie Mac, the mother of rapper Polo G, allegedly shooting at her daughter and Polo’s sister Leilani.

In the footage, Mac can be heard screaming after what sounds like a gunshot goes off, “Get off my s**t. You tough b**ch. You tough b**ch,” while chasing Leilani. Another gunshot sounds off and screams from a woman, presumably Leilani, are heard. Stacia then walks back into her home, still visibly upset.

Polo G addressed the video in a new interview with The Breakfast Club, saying that he will always intervene in situations like that because he does not want to see things “go too far.” That prompted jokes from Charlamagne, who pointed out that they were already fighting and shooting at each other. He remarked that since Polo G is from Chicago, his definition of “too far” is different from everyone else’s, which Polo laughed at.

Shortly after the video surfaced on Instagram, Polo G’s mother claimed that Leilani had a manic episode that night. She added that she fired shots because she wanted her off the property immediately. Leilani claimed that her mother was “jealous” of her and “wants to be a thug.”

Polo G is in the middle of a difficult situation, one that Breakfast Club co-host DJ Envy asked if he started working to help resolve. He responded by saying he wants to help the two of them put their issues aside. At the same time, he also wants to “let it breathe” before attempting to do so.

Polo G recently confirmed that his next album, Hood Poet, is dropping on August 9. Polo first teased the album in 2022. However, his legal issues led to an indefinite postponement of both the album and his next tour. He was arrested in April on an illegal firearm possession charge at The Dominick Hotel in the SoHo district of New York City. Those issues seem to be behind him. At least enough for him to go forward with his album rollout. Hood Poet features collaborations from several big names, including Future, GloRilla, Offset, The Kid LAROI, Lil Durk, and more. Hopefully, Polo can mediate a peaceful resolution to the feuding family members.

Polo G Reunites With Lil Durk For “We Uh Shoot” Single Off Upcoming Album

by

It’s clear that Polo G has been dealing with a lot mentally speaking over the last couple of years. In a recent interview with Kurrco, the Chicago, Illinois native kept it a buck about how superstardom was something he wasn’t really ready for. “I feel like I took a three-year break after being scorching hot”, he began. Later in the talk, he cited that same break was equally as challenging because he loves he what does so much at the same time. “That s*** really f***ed with my mental, a lot”, he added. However, Polo G is officially ready to reinstate himself and remind everyone who he is with “We Uh Shoot”.

This is just one slice of the pie, as the “Martin & Gina” rapper and singer is ending the album drought next Friday. To follow up on 2021’s Hall of Fame, he will finally be delivering the highly teased and awaited HOOD POET. Polo G announced the August 9 release date a couple of days ago on Instagram, along with the stacked feature list that includes Future, GloRilla, 42 Dugg, Offset, Lil Durk, and more. The latter is featured on “We Uh Shoot”, an aggressive gun-toting track. Similarly, Polo G is shelving out a lot of money for this album to sound crisp because Allen Ritter, Southside and TM88 are all credited producers on this single. Give the record a spin with the link below.

“We Uh Shoot”- Polo G & Lil Durk

Quotable Lyrics:

We got the guns, we’ll shoot
No, I ain’t worried ’bout what he’ll do
Inside this Louis book bag, all you see is blue
I just stuck to the plan, had to see it through
And I ran up them bands, you could see the proof
Penthouse on the top floor, you should see the view

Polo G And Lil Durk Warn Their Foes ‘We Uh Shoot’ On Their Menacing New Collaboration

by

Polo G’s long-awaited fourth studio album was finally given a release date this week, as well as an updated title. While it’s still called Hood Poet, the title is now an acronym, which according to a press release for its new single “We Uh Shoot” with Lil Durk, stands for He Overcame Obstacles During Pain Or Emotional Trauma.

And on “We Uh Shoot,” Polo teams up with the perfect person to represent that concept in Lil Durk. Both of the Windy City rappers grew up heavily entrenched in street life, but at the same time, both have distanced themselves from a lot of that aspect of their artistic expression. Both rap a lot about how their experiences shaped them — and yes, traumatized them — but also have more optimistic outlooks in their music than many of their Second City compatriots, many of whom went the other way and got downright nihilistic during the drill days.

H.O.O.D. P.O.E.T. has seen a bit of a rough rollout; initially announced nearly a year ago in August 2023, the album was pushed back a few weeks later in light of Polo’s arrest for kidnapping, robbery, and assault charges. After getting back to business in February of this year with “Sorrys & Ferraris,” he was derailed again by legal trouble, this time an arrest in New York on weapons charges.

With the album’s new release date just a week away, Polo’s given himself less time for getting into trouble, and that should be good news for fans.

You can listen to “We Uh Shoot” up top.

H.O.O.D. P.O.E.T. is due on 8/9 via Columbia Records. You can find more info here.

Unfortunately, due to ongoing legal woes, Polo G hasn’t been able to fulfill a promise him made to fans back in August 2023. Well, that’s until now. After several unforeseen delays, the “Sorrys & Ferraris” rapper’s long-awaited album, Hood Poet, finally has an official release date.

Today (July 30), Polo G took to X (formerly Twitter) to reveal the exciting news. “Hood Poet, August 9th,” he wrote. “The wait finally Over 🖤🖤.”

That information alone would have been sufficient. But after nearly a year of setbacks, Polo treated his followers to a bit more. “Plus, me and Smurk this Friday #weuhshoot,” he wrote.

A fresh collaboration between Lil Durk and Polo G set users online off.

“Finally getting my therapy collab, Polo G X Lil Durk yaayyyy🕺,” wrote one user.

The forthcoming single will mark the project’s forth singles, following “Barely Holdin’ On,” “Distraction,” and “Angels In The Sky.”

According to the promotional graphic, Polo G shared alongside the newly unveiled artwork, Hood Poet will feature guest appearances by GloRilla, Future, Offset, G Herbo, 42 Dugg, Hunxho, The Kid LaRoi, and Fridayy.

According to the tracklist uploaded to Apple Music, Hood Poet has a total of 18 tracks. With a release date formerly locked in, fans have one question—is a tour in the works?

Hood Poet is out on 8/9 via Columbia. Find more information here.

Wack 100 Weighs In On Polo G’s Beef With DJ Vlad

by

Wack 100 and DJ Vlad talked about several things in a new interview for Vlad’s YouTube channel. One of the topics that arose this time was Polo G. Specifically, Polo G’s issues with DJ Vlad. Police arrested Polo G at a Manhattan hotel for possession of a loaded firearm in April. His brother, Trench Baby, reportedly committed multiple crimes. Polo G previously referred to DJ Vlad as “the Feds” for some of his interview questions. Fans referring to Vlad as “the Feds” or as a “snitch” are the most persistent critiques of Vlad’s channel. Their tension culminated with a FaceTime call where Polo demanded to meet Vlad face-to-face, which Vlad declined.

In the new clip with Wack 100, Vlad emphasized his concern about Polo G’s livelihood. Vlad listed nineteen rappers he interviewed who’ve since died. Some were murdered, others died of other causes. Vlad pointed out the path Polo and his associates seem to be on. He remarked about having to bring his own gun to a meeting with Polo, since he and his brother still have one foot in the streets. Wack100 agreed with Vlad, drawing parallels to infamous family feuds.

Wack 100 Reacts To Polo G And DJ Vlad

“What they don’t realize, Vlad, is that you’ve been in the game for 16, 17 years. You’ve seen a hundred different scenarios that ended in jail, death, someone in a wheelchair, someone else being killed, said Wack 100. “You’re mimicking these nineteen people that [Vlad] interviewed that did exactly what you’re doing, and it ended in a tragic death.”

The authorities arraigned Polo G at the Manhattan Criminal Courthouse in April 2024. A maid discovered a black Glock on the loveseat while she was cleaning his room at the Dominick Hotel in SoHo. The criminal complaint said the gun had one bullet ready to go and nine additional bullets loaded. He was also arrested on a weapons charge in August 2023, after police raided his home and found “numerous firearms.” Polo postponed his fourth album, Hood Poet, after the August arrest, and he has not announced a new release date. Maybe Wack 100 can mediate a conversation between Polo G and DJ Vlad.

It’s been a long time coming for Canadian rapper TwoTiime. The Ottawa-born rapper has been revving up for the release of a new project since the latter half of 2023. His deal with Polo G’s Capalot ODA label and Columbia Records sparked curiosity about his next move, and the two singles he released after the announcement felt left many longing for a release date for his major label debut. Fortunately, he’ll be coming through with some new heat before the end of the year. His new single, “Yesterday,” indicates promising things to come from the budding Canadian star.

On “Yesterday,” TwoTiime reflects on this transitional period in his life, where he speaks on adjusting to his newfound lifestyle and manifesting his dreams while detailing the hardships he faced to get to this point. It’s a heartfelt single that showcases TwoTiime’s vulnerability but also, his resilience through the tough times. “I’m the top dog, I’ve been known for having motion/When it gets hard, that’s a test to your devotion,” he raps in the second verse. The song was accompanied by a new visual that heavily features appearances from Polo G. 

“Yesterday” marks the second release from the “Off Some” rapper this year, following his Valentine’s Day-inspired single, “4 U.” However, “Yesterday” truly sets the tone for what we should expect from him for the remainder of the year.
