Swae Lee Says Ex-Girlfriend Left Him For A Truck Driver Because He Made More Money

April 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Swae Lee is opening up about the first heartbreak that made him the man he is. The father of two has had his share of women troubles hit the internet. Last year, he was feuding with the mother of his first child for allegedly keeping the baby a secret. He filed for joint custody shortly after his current girlfriend, Victoria Kristine, announced her pregnancy in August. Since then, it appears all is much calmer, but his first real girlfriend is the one who might’ve influenced his playboy ways.

Lee made the revelation during a chat with Million Dollaz Worth of Game alongside brother Slim Jxmmi. Lee explained the breakup occurred when he was around 18 and living in his producer’s basement. During this time, his girlfriend ended things with him while he was down on his luck. Her reasoning? Lee says he left her for a guy that was a truck driver. The Grammy-nominated rapper and singer revealed the man he lost his girl to made roughly $12,000 a month. At this time, this was way more than Lee was bringing in. Still, the girl wanted to have her cake and eat it, too, allowing Lee to drive her new boyfriend’s car while he was on the road.

These days, money is no object. Celebrity Net Worth reports Lee’s net worth to be around $9 million, with Slim Jxmmi bringing in the same amount. Jxmmi has also had his fair share of lady drama. In 2022, he was arrested for allegedly attacking his ex-girlfriend, Kee, and the mother of his 1-year-old son. Then there was more drama in February when Jxmmi was pictured with rapper Sukihana. Kee was upset that the two linked up, resulting in a word war on social media.

Recently, the brothers reunited for a new album, “Sremm 4 Life.” The two hadn’t released new music together in several years as Swae Lee worked on his own career. Jxmmi has not amassed much solo success. He dropped a few singles, such as “Brxnks Truck” and “Fine Wine & Hennessy,” though they have not reached the same peaks as his brother. The brothers are now returning to group life without any distractions, not even from the ladies.

Rae Sremmurd’s Slim Jxmmi Wanted To Rap Like Eminem Growing Up, Admitting: ‘He Was Definitely My Favorite Rapper’

April 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Melle Mel might think Eminem is only ranked amongst the greatest emcees list because of his race, but 50 Cent and Rae Sremmurd’s Slim Jxmmi beg to differ. During the duo’s interview on The Bootleg Kev Podcast the duo talked about Eminem’s impact.

On their new album Sremm4Life, the pair was able to clear their sample of the rapper’s 2000 song “Stan.” The track featured on Em’s album The Marshall Mathers LP, has been emmortilized in pop culture and the English language for shining a light on some fans’ unhealthy obsession with public figures. The song in question, “Not So Bad (Leans Gone Cold),” which caused a short-lived clash with rapper Millyz who also recently sampled the track.

When discussing Em’s impact on them personally, Slim Jxmmi confessed, that growing up he ‘used to want to rap like [Eminem].’ Despite Em proudly hailing from Detroit, Michigan and Jxmmi from Tupelo, Mississippi, the geographical distance and regional cultural differences didn’t stop him from being inspired by him.

“That was definitely my favorite rapper [growing up. Man what, I used to do all that ‘Hi, my name is’ [stuff]. I used to like the way he rapped. I [even] used to try and rap like him at one point in time in my life,” proclaimed Jxmmi.

It seems like Eminem’s self-appointed nickname of “Rap God,” was appriorately designated.

Swae Lee Says He Would Choose Trump Over Biden In The 2024 Election: ‘He Freed Kodak, He Freed Wayne, He Tapped In’

April 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Former President Donald Trump may not have the stamp of approval from the late rapper Tupac’s family, but he did earn one from Rae Sremmurd’s Swae Lee. During an interview on the Bootleg Kev Podcast, while discussing Slim Jxmmi’s move to Miami, Florida, the conversation took a right turn into politics.

Lee shared that the main reason he moved to Miami and eventually convinced Jxmmi to follow him was the tax benefits. “It’s tax-free — so, you’re making a lot of money, but you’re giving half of your money to Uncle Sam,” said Lee before diving into his disdain for Biden’s allocation of American tax dollars.

“You’re giving half of your money away to Joe Biden for him to send that sh*t over to another country,” declared Lee, referring to American financial aid to Ukraine, “He got [Ukraine straight before he got his own country straight. I don’t really agree with that.”

When the host asks if he would vote for Trump if he decided to run for re-election in 2024, Lee answers, “If I had to choose between the A and the B, I’d definitely go with Trump over Biden for sure.”

As the camera panned to Slim Jxmmi to document his answer, he said, “I choose not to speak on politics.”

To which the host responds, “You’re a smart man.”

Lee goes on to add that taxes weren’t the only thing that played a part in his decision. “He freed Kodak [Black]. He freed Wayne. He tapped in.” Lee’s comments referred to Trump’s providing rappers Kodak Black and Lil Wayne with presidential pardons near the end of his term.

Black took to Twitter to thank Trump after his release, writing, “I want to thank President Donald Trump for his commitment to justice reform and shortening my sentence,” following the release of his song, “Last Day In.”

After a year-long wait, hip-hop duo Rae Sremmurd, comprised of Swae Lee and Slim Jxmmi, have released their high-anticipated album Sremm4Life. During an interview with GQ, the pair shared that the album would “show a more evolved side of them.” According to Jxmmi, “We’ve got to give them something new, man. As an artist, it’s hard to be yourself, and I feel like with this album, it was like we’re not following a trend.”

With the tracks “Community D*ck,” featuring Flo Milli, “Denial,” and “Sucka Or Sum” being dropped as loosies, fans were looking forward to what else the group had in store. Well, Sremm4Life is officially available across streaming platforms, and here’s everything you need to know about the project.

Features

Artwork

The official cover is quintessential Rae Sreummurd. Photographed by Atlanta-based hip-hop visual artist veteran Diwang Valdez, it shows Swae Lee and Slim Jxmmi throwing up four fingers to represent that they are in this together for life, as the album’s title drills home.

Singles

Rae Sremmurd Recruit Young Thug For The Petty ‘Royal Flush’ On ‘Sremm 4 Life’

April 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Rae Sremmurd‘s new album Sremm 4 Life is out now. Though it’s not as laden with collaborations as their records usually are, the LP does feature two exciting artists: Future and Young Thug.

Young Thug’s feature is on the petty anthem “Royal Flush.” It immediately starts off with fiery resentment: “Leave me on read, you must be out of yo’ head / Leave me for dead, you must be out of yo’ head,” Swae Lee deadpans.

Last year, the duo teased this new record in interviews. “We’ve got to give them something new, man. As an artist, it’s hard to be yourself, and I feel like with this album, it was like we’re not following a trend,” Slim Jxmmi told GQ. “We want set the tone.”

In January, they kicked off the year by unveiling the song “Sucka Or Sum,” getting fans excited for their comeback. They announced Sremm 4 Life shortly after. They shared the single “Tanisha (Pump That)” just last month, which was produced by Mike Will Made-It as well as Pharrell Williams.

Listen to “Royal Flush” above.

Rae Sremmurd Gear Up For Summer With “Sremm 4 Life” Album Featuring Young Thug & Future

April 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Nearly five years after delivering 27 unforgettable tracks on their 2018 SR3MM album, Slim Jxmmi and Swae Lee have finally returned with Sremm 4 Life. While their last effort saw the partners in rhyme team up with an incredible roster of collaborators, such as The Weeknd, Travis Scott, and Juicy J, this new release features just two hip-hop heavyweights. The first is Young Thug, who’s still behind bars awaiting his fate in the YSL RICO trial that’s seen plenty of foolish antics so far.

He appears on the project’s second track, “Royal Flush,” which is already earning plenty of praise across social media. The Chopsquad DJ and Mike WiLL Made-It-produced track finds Thugger getting his bars off on the first verse. “Pinstripes on my jeans, they designer cut / Black, red, and yellow bitches, I’m Jamaica’d up,” he cleverly rhymes. “Yellow strands from the land like I’m smokin’ Xans / Put Balenci’s on my ass, I got bags of cash.”

Young Thug Shows Out on Rae Sremmurd’s “Royal Flush”

Sremm 4 Life‘s only other guest appearance comes from Future, who joined the brothers on title seven, “Activate.” Prior to delivering the 14-track album today (April 7), RS teased fans with singles like “Torpedo” and “Tanisha (Pump That).” Additionally, they worked with rap diva Flo Milli on 2022’s “Community D**k,” though that didn’t wind up appearing on their album. Other tracks to come from Rae Sremmurd between LP’s three and four include “Denial,” “Finger Food” with Duke Deuce and Rolling Loud, and finally, “Sucka Or Sum,” which is surprisingly missing from their record’s lineup.
