Just when you thought Wednesday (July 21) evening was going to end on a peaceful note, Cassidy comes through with a few accusations. Tory Lanez has continued to rise through the ranks year after year, and although he’s currently fighting a case where he stands accused of shooting Megan Thee Stallion, the Canadian-born artist has remained a force to be reckoned with.
Lanez recently visited Funk Flex to fire off the rapper’s latest freestyle, and as Lanez’s fans were praising his bars, Cassidy was dissecting them because he believed they sounded a tad familiar. According to the hitmaking Rap veteran, an icon known for his lyrical prowess, Lanez has been pulling from his playbook for years.
On his Instagram, Cassidy shared a video where he compared Tory Lanez’s lyrics, flow, and delivery, and it seems that Cassidy wants the world to see that there are more similarities than one thinks. The clips kick off with freestyles dating back to 2017. “I’m @torylanez favorite rapper #RNS Ain’t no denying that [eyeball #GoatGang [goat emoji] Show me the respect I deserve &#LetsGetToThisChicken [money emoji] #BARSisBack #DaEnergy [lightning emoji].”
Some lyrics are so similar it caused several rappers to jump in Cassidy’s comment section, calling out Lanez without hesitation. Lanez has yet to respond to the accusations, but Cassidy’s video is quickly going viral and Rap fans have quite a bit to say about it. Back in 2017, Lanez was accused of stealing lyrics following a freestyle, but he came forward to deny the allegations.

The State of California has filed a lawsuit against one of the most popular game manufacturers and the news has caused fans of Activision Blizzard to discuss the company’s practices. New reports have surfaced about the Call of Duty creators following a two-year investigation that has resulted in the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing filing a lawsuit against the company, citing their “frat boy” workplace environment as problematic.
According to Deadline, Activision stands accused of sexual harassment by its executives toward women within the company, while also claiming that men in the workplace “joked about rape and drank alcohol.” Their behaviors were described as being “inappropriate” toward women, as well.
Additionally, Activision is accused of paying women less than men and the DFEH stated the environment “is a breeding ground for harassment and discrimination against women… Female employees are subjected to constant sexual harassment, including having to continually fend off unwanted sexual comments and advances by their male co-workers and supervisors and being groped at the ‘cube crawls’ and other company events.”
Deadline also reports that the lawsuit includes a story about male employees sharing “explicit photos” of a female coworker. During a business trip, she reportedly took her own life. Activision has responded to the suit with a lengthy statement, stating that what they are being accused of “is not the Blizzard workplace of today.”
Activision also alleged that the DFEH did not contact them to go over the accusations. “There is no place in our company or industry, or any industry, for sexual misconduct or harassment of any kind. In cases related to misconduct, action was taken to address the issue.” They added, “It is this type of irresponsible behavior from unaccountable state bureaucrats that are driving many of the state’s best businesses out of California.”
You can read through portions of the lawsuit, as well as Activision Blizzard’s statement, below.

Quotable Lyrics
Audemars, Travis, Cactus

Talkin’ shootin’, got no assists
Earlier this year, BROCKHAMPTON released their second-to-final album, Roadrunner: New Light, New Machine, that came complete with features from artists like ASAP Rocky and Danny Brown. The Hip Hop collective is one of few of its kind in the industry, and as they prepare for the release of their last record together, Kevin Abstract caught up with GQ and spoke about his feelings regarding the respect they’ve received in the Rap industry.
During the discussion, there was an emphasis placed on BROCKHAMPTON’s initial desire to redefine how music lovers—and beyond—viewed the concept of “boy bands.” As they’ve all grown and matured they’ve edged away from that, but the lingering effects seem to have pigeonholed them into a specific category.
“My goal for us was to be a Rap group who called themselves a boy band,” Abstract said, admitting that his vision may have backfired. “But now a lot of Rap fans look at us like a boy band—or like soft music—so they write us off. We’re always overlooked in that way. And I want to be respected in the Rap world more, ’cause that’s the sh*t I listen to. It’s made me feel like, ‘Damn, people still don’t really view us as true MCs. True rappers.'”
The group will be in the studio for the next few months ironing out their final record, a project that is slated to arrive before year’s end. “Everybody’s given their life for the last 10 years,” says BROCKHAMPTON’s Romil Hemnani. “And at a certain point, people deserve to give their lives to themselves. So it feels like it’s time to let everyone just spread their wings and do the things that they want to do.”
Do you agree with Abstract about the respect BROCKHAMPTON receives?
