Luh Tyler Admits He Started Smoking Weed At Just 13

Luh Tyler says he began smoking weed at the age of just 13. He reflected on the first time he smoked as well as a particularly memorable experience with marijuana during an appearance on The Progress Report podcast.

“I ain’t gon’ lie I was probably about like 13,” he said. As for a memory that sticks out to him regarding smoking, he opted for more recent incidents. “Phone on 1%,” he recalled. “They just handed me the charger. I done hit the blunt, let my phone die the whole time. Let my phone die with my charger in my hand, and I be doing high shit all time. I be having lighters in my hand. Like, ‘Bro, where the lighter at?’ Lighter be right in my hand. It be a lot of high shit, I ain’t gone lie.”

Tyler broke into mainstream success with the release of his song, “Law & Order.” He went on to release his debut project, My Vision, back in March. On the project, Tyler was able to land a collaboration with Lil Uzi Vert on the song, “Ransom.” He discussed how that effort came about during a recent interview with Complex.

He recalled to the outlet: “I think that was my first time out here [in New York]. When he hit me up he just hit my DMs, and he asked where I was at. And I was like, ‘Oh man.’ Then he was like, ‘Pull up to the studio.’ And I just pulled up on him. Then we was in that bih all night. We did another song too. But he got that one, and then we did the ‘Ransom.’ I had went to sleep, because he was in that bitch so long, he was just doing shit. He comes in there, does a song, comes out, be like, ‘Nah, that ain’t good enough.’ Delete the whole song.”

Akbar V Revists Being Slapped By Young Thug: “We Are A Family”

After getting her Twitter account suspended in the midst of a nasty feud with Cardi B and her husband, Offset, Akbar V has taken some time to address other past beef that caught her a lot of attention in the media.

During a sit-down on The Progress Report podcast, the mother of five opened up about the 2017 incident during which YSL rapper Young Thug reportedly slapped her across the face in a parking lot, and although it was undeniably a tense moment at the time, she seems to have found peace with the situation now.

“It wouldn’t just like that, we was beefing, me and that boy…” Akbar began. “I done got in fights with all of them. Y’all got to understand, like, this is a family.”

Though she seemed to be having trouble getting words out, the rapper eventually said, “Chile, we done jumped down… We done… It’s family!”

“My little cousin Slug, we done jumped him at the park, like… We are family!” Akbar continued. “We gon’ have disagreements and arguments, I’m never gon’ say like ‘Oh, he beats women,’ and all of that.”

The “Super Freaky Girl (Queen Mix)” collaborator went on to describe Thug – who she reportedly previously hooked up with – as a “good person” with a “good heart,” even with all their past drama.

“I love him,” she said of the currently incarcerated rapper, earning her some backlash down in @theneighborhoodtalk’s comment section.

“Bruh. Nah. Idgah if we really are family. You smack me we enemies! We fighting,” one user wrote. Another added, “Don’t get me wrong, she’s talented, but she want fame sooooooo bad she’s willing to go through anything with big celebrities, girl that’s not family behaviour.”
