Takeoff’s Brother Vents On Social Media About His Loss

Takeoff’s brother YRN Lingo just posted a series of messages on his Instagram Story, venting about his tragic loss. As he and the late Migo’s family continue to heal, many expressed their support and best wishes after his messages. Moreover, Lingo referred to people being fake when posting their love towards Take, especially from within the industry. Regardless of the validity of their claims or statements, the 25-year-old expressed his own struggle to cope with his brother’s absence. While his words are tough to read and even more difficult to imagine, hopefully his post helped him let some of that energy out.

“Damn take brother I’m crying rn,” he began. Furthermore, he wrote some of these messages on a picture of the two of them together with another loved one. “I talk out loud cause I’m thinking you still here. But when I turn around and not see you I feel lost and sick to my stomach. I’m sitting next to your favorite chair rn. The one you smoke, eat and slept in. I never lost a close one like this before. A person I woke up to, spoke to everyday, ate with everyday! This s**t ain’t fair.”

Also, he switched to a black background to messages aimed more towards the Migos member’s industry colleagues. “Getting sick of y’all n***as thinking y’all can say whatever to me. When this man was alive they all was on d**k. Now sine he gone they no where to be found sucka d**k ass n***as. All that fake crying s**t n***as be so flaw and lame it don’t even make any sense. I don’t have any brothers only brother I have is gone. And if you feel like I’m talking about you the shoe fit mf.”

“Nobody has to worry about what’s going on over here we straight!! And stop claiming y’all fw my brother! This man didn’t even know half of y’all lame ass, peon ass n***as. LLT,” concluding his messages with a rocket emoji. Moreover, as Takeoff’s brother and family continues to reckon with his loss, their love and affection will keep his spirit alive.

Kendrick Lamar Surprised Fans At Coachella By Joining Baby Keem To Perform ‘Family Ties’ And ‘Vent’

Kendrick Lamar has been stepping out a bit more as of late and it comes after he said his fifth album Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers is finally on the way. The public appearances for the typically-secluded rapper began earlier this year when he joined Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, and more to perform at the Super bowl LVI Halftime Show. More recently, Lamar was spotted at a Los Angeles Dodgers game against the Atlanta Braves earlier this week casually sitting with fellow fans in right-field rather than in a press box. For his next act, Kendrick brought his talents to the second weekend of Coachella’s 2022 Festival.

On Friday night, Kendrick made a surprise appearance at Coachella by joining Baby Keem to perform “Family Ties” and “Vent,” both of which are from Keem’s 2021 debut album The Melodic Blue. The latter track also became Keem’s first and Kendrick’s 14th Grammy Award after it won in the Best Rap Performance category earlier this month. During their Coachella set, Baby Keem performed the first half of “Family Ties” before he welcomed Kendrick to perform his verse in front of a large video screen that displayed fire and water. Kendrick’s surprise appearance concluded with their first-ever performance of “Vent.”

Kendrick’s Coachella appearance comes after he confirmed his fifth album Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers would arrive on May 13. It’s one of this year’s most highly-anticipated projects as it’s the rapper’s first album since 2017’s DAMN.

Baby Keem Faces Down His ‘Issues’ In The Latest Video From His New Album, ‘The Melodic Blue’

More than two years removed from his last project, Baby Keem has arrived with a new body of work for his growing cast of supporters to enjoy. The Melodic Blue is out now and it comes with a small, yet star-filled cast of guest acts. Kendrick Lamar, Travis Scott, and Don Toliver each stand beside Keem at various points on the album, with Lamar marking the most appearances on the 16-track project. The new album arrives after Keem stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to debut “Issues,” while he follows up with a desolate video with a similar setting.

In addition to “Family Ties,” a previously-released single that ramped up anticipation for The Melodic Blue and Kendrick’s own upcoming fifth album, the TDE rapper also connects with Keem on “Range Brothers” and “Vent.”

“Range Brothers” arrives as a two-part track that begins with Keem delivering laid-back raps over bass-heavy production. Things take an odd and chaotic turn in the second half as Lamar arrives join Keem as they deliver off-kilter bars that, if anything, sound more like a troll as Lamar checks in and repeatedly chants “top of the morning.” As for “Vent,” that collaboration between Lamar and Keem is quite the bashful single as the duo combines their energies for a mosh pit-friendly track.

You can watch the “Issues” video and listen to Baby Keem and Kendrick Lamar’s additional collaborations in the videos above.
