Last month, a 31-year-old woman who was shot and killed at a bowling alley in Atlanta was identified as LaKevia Jackson, the mother of rapper Young Thug‘s oldest child. Today, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, Atlanta police working with US Marshals arrested 25-year-old Joshua Fleetwood, charging him with felony murder, possession of a firearm while committing a felony, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
Jackson was attending her best friend’s birthday party at the bowling alley on March 17 and was allegedly shot by Fleetwood while leaving the venue after an argument over a bowling ball. Jackson’s 14-year-old, Kyvion Jackson, is Young Thug’s oldest child, conceived when they were living in the same apartment complex before his rap career took off. Jackson’s mother, Sherina Jackson, told CBS 46, “I didn’t know that was going to be the last time I talked to my baby. I could hear her over the phone crying and screaming then her best friend said, ‘She’s not breathing!’ … I lost my baby all over a bowling ball.”
Lt. Ralph Woolfolk, an APD homicide commander, made a video statement regarding the arrest, saying, “This was a relentless investigation in which we worked through the night and into the next day in trying to gather all the facts and circumstances regarding the investigation.”

Could we be getting a Floyd “Money” Mayweather verse in 2022? The undefeated boxing legend was photographed in the studio with popular NFL Wide Receiver Antonio Brown that has, of course, gone viral. The photo surfaced on Thursday morning (Mar 24), which shows AB and Floyd laughing with the billionaire in front of a mic, appearing to be rapping. No audio has surfaced; therefore, a collaboration between the two is merely speculation.

The possible collaboration would mark Mayweather’s music debut. Mayweather has been around hip hop his entire career, even as far as launching his record label, TMT, several years ago. However, the label has yet to produce a single release.
AB has been recording in Miami this week, preparing for his forthcoming debut album. AB has been in album mode since his controversial abrupt exit from his former team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, during last season’s game against the New York Jets in January. The Buccaneers and AB have parted ways since. After the departure, AB released his new single, “Pit Not the Palace,” which has already accumulated over million views on YouTube.

Young Thug‘s YSL Records artist T-Shyne drops his debut album Confetti Nights in two weeks, on April 1, but first, the New York rapper has shared the tracklist for the Kevin Durant-produced project. Coming in at 15 tracks, the album might be something of a departure for YSL Records, which is made up primarily of Thugger’s fellow ATLiens, but it manages to stay relatively close to home with its impressive guest list. Features on the album include 6lack, Dougie F, Gunna, JID, Meek Mill, Nav, Swae Lee, and of course Young Thug.
Of the 15 songs, five have been previously released: “Top 5,” “Feed The Fam,” “30 For 30,” “That Go! (which he previously performed on UPROXX Sessions),” and “Sugar Water” featuring Young Thug. Naturally, as T-Shyne’s benefactor, Thugger appears on the album three times, on “Fighting Demons,” “That Go!” and “Sugar Water.”
In a recent interview with AllHipHop, T-Shyne broke down the album’s concept, saying, “It’s that championship mentality. That feeling, that Mamba mentality. The story of Confetti Nights goes from a rookie going through the seasons. At first, he might not get no playing time. Eventually, you start doing your thing and then go on to win championships. The image I originally wanted for the cover was this picture of Kobe, it’s him with his hands up and all the confetti falling down. Rest in peace, Kobe.”
Confetti Nights is due 4/1 via YSL Records and 300 Entertainment.

Karlae carries the title of YSL First Lady title high with her latest release “Did That.”
The track samples Mase’s hit song, “Feel So Good,” taken from Kool & The Gang’s “Hollywood Swinging.” As one of the heirs of Bad Boy Records, King Combs even makes a cameo in the video as well.
Karlae is fresh off the heels of last month’s release, “Blind.” The Lil Yachty assisted single displays Karlae’s versatility as she sings the hook and raps over Murda Inc sampled “Down 4 U.”
The video shows Karlae as a school girl, while Yachty plays her classmate and love interest.
The ATL-based artist first stepped onto the scene with a cameo on the YSL compilation, Slime Language. It was followed by the Young Thug and Gunna assisted single, “Jimmy Choo.” Last year the label released its sequel to the compilation, Slime Language 2, where Karlae shined on both “I Like” with Coi Leray and “Trance” with Yung Bleu.
Karlae’s previous works puts the momentum in her favor for what’s to come on her forthcoming EP, Enter.

Young Thug and his family are facing an unfortunate tragedy after the mother of his oldest child, who is 14, was shot and killed in Atlanta. LaKevia Jackson, who was only 31 years old, was shot in the parking lot of Metro Fun Center in Atlanta following what police say was “a dispute over a bowling ball.” The incident was confirmed by Atlanta’s CBS46 and the publication reports that investigators say Jackson was at the bowling alley for her best friend’s birthday party. It was there that she had an argument about a bowling ball, and before she could leave the alley, she was shot by the unnamed suspect.
