King Von’s Manager Says Rapper “Genuinely Loved” Asian Doll

Asian Doll has been publically grieving the passing of her ex-boyfriend, Chicago rapper King Von, who was killed last year. People have been extremely critical of Asian’s posts about Von, picking her apart in her comments and disrespectfully accusing her of using Von’s death for clout. She has been vocal against her haters, but Von’s former manager Track is coming to her defense as well, speaking about the genuine connection that the two rappers shared in the latest clips from his interview with VladTV.

We’ve been keeping you posted on the latest statements from Track, including the video where he says he doesn’t wish jail on Lul Tim, the man accused of killing Von. He went on to speak more about the rapper’s relationship with Asian Doll, touching on her confusing claims that Von texted her that his friends set him up before she later revealed that Von’s spirit told her that through an advisor. Track agrees with Vlad that her claims were “silly” but he doesn’t want people to continue disrespecting the Dallas representative, saying that Von really loved her.

“No lie, you know how the media is like, ‘yo, she’s overplaying the situation, she’s doing it for clout’? Man, you’re crazy. That girl loved Von,” said Track about Asian Doll. “For real, for real. They was really in love. I can vouch for that. That was really a real situation. She’s probably f*cked up from that situation. This girl just lost somebody that she considered her soulmate. I feel for her and I wish her nothing but love and I wish she can heal from it. I don’t like when people downplay that like she’s doing it for attention.”

Track says that he thinks Asian and Von were broken up for a few months at the time of his death, whereas Asian Doll has said that it had only been about a week since they broke up

Tamar Braxton’s Ex-Fiance’s Restraining Order Against Her Dismissed

Tamar Braxton has had a tumultuous last year, and a lot of the drama seems to be surrounding her ex-finance David Adefeso. When Braxton attempted to commit suicide in September 2020, originally Adefeso was among those blamed. Nonetheless their relationship is clearly confusing, because that same month, the tables seemingly turned when Adefeso filed a domestic violence restraining order against the singer.

In court documents, Adefeso stated that Tamar attacked him and started to punch him while he was driving his Rolls-Royce and threatened to have him killed. Then, allegedly, Tamar violently socked him in the jugular, disorienting him and nearly causing him to crash. When he parked the car Tamar started trashing it, apparently smashing the camera and rear view mirror. He says he suffered bruising to his neck and shoulder area along with the damage to his Rolls. 

Tamar Braxton denied all of these allegations publicly during a visit to the The Tamron Hall Show.

Now, the two were due back in court, but since neither of them decided to show in court the restraining order was dissolved and the case was dismissed.

The reason for their absence in court still remains a mystery, but apparently they are at least on good enough terms that they do not wish to maintain the restraining order. We’ll keep you updated when we hear from either party on the situation.

Ludacris May Not Be Able To Cook But He Can Fly A Plane Now

Ludacris firmly established the limits of his talents with his Discovery+ television special Ludacris Can’t Cook, but as he captioned his latest Instagram post, “If you don’t evolve, you’ll evaporate.” By the way, he used that post to showcase an example of exactly what he means; apparently, he’s expanded his list of useful skills to not only include cooking but also piloting his own private jet. Maybe he wants to do his own stunt flying in the next Fast And Furious movie or maybe he just wants to save on hiring chefs and pilots, but it’s a cool thing to see him sitting at the yoke.

Of course, for fans on social media, it was just another prime opportunity to fire up the joke machines. Many of the jokes focused on Luda’s flight demeanor. As Chance The Rapper put it, “He look like a lane finna merge and he tryna get over.”

Other fans humorously pointed out the gumption of learning to fly a plane while many of us are still adjusting to the last year of social distancing.

Meanwhile, others imagined their responses to hearing the phrase “This is your captain, Ludacris, speaking” over the plane P.A.

Quavo Introduced His Movie Co-Star Robert DeNiro To Migos’ Music

As a member of Migos and as a solo artist, Quavo could be considered among hip-hop’s A-listers. That said, there’s no guarantee that someone would be familiar with him or his music — especially a septuagenarian like Robert De Niro. However, the Academy Award-winning actor is probably well aware of his Wash Me In The River co-star’s musical credits now.

In an interview with Billboard about his upcoming two-on-two basketball game with Jack Harlow, 2 Chainz, and Lil Baby, Quavo was kind enough to answer a couple of questions about his upcoming film debut. When asked about his experience interacting with the screen icon, Quavo explained why he’s pretty sure De Niro Googled the Atlanta rap trio at the first chance he got.

“I told him I said a line in one of my new songs about the trip I just took, and he was just like, ‘For real. M-I-G-O-S, right?’” Quavo recalled. “I was like, ‘Yeah, he’s finna go home and look me up.’ It was too hard. I couldn’t wait to tell my Mom dukes that I’m gonna be on the screen and kicked it with him. He’s a nice dude.” De Niro won’t have to wait long to check out his castmate’s latest; Quavo promised in February that Migos’ next album is due in “a month and a half.”

Regarding the upcoming B/R Open Run challenge between Quavo and his teammate Harlow and 2 Chainz and Lil Baby, Quavo said he’s betting on his high school varsity team-honed skills. “You know anyone with me is going to win,” he boasted. “Let’s get it. I hope they bring their A-game.”

Megan Thee Stallion Joins Maroon 5 For The Charming Single ‘Beautiful Mistakes’

After nearly three decades in the business and three Grammy Awards to their name, Maroon 5 know how to craft a buoyant pop hit. Now teasing a new era of music, the group recruited Megan Thee Stallion for their latest offering, the shimmering single “Beautiful Mistakes.”

Over a trap-influenced beat, Maroon 5 and Megan Thee Stallion recount their regrets about an ending relationship. “I’m in love with the past / And now we liе awake, making beautiful mistakes,” they sing.

Speaking about the single in a conversation with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, Maroon 5 vocalist Adam Levine said, “I’m absolutely obsessed with the song. We love how it came out.” Levine went on to praise Megan as “a superstar” for her role on the track. “The way she built her part was just, it couldn’t have been a more epic kind of climax for the song,” he added. “I mean, it really is absolutely perfect. So, I mean, what she did was just miraculous, and it brought the song to a whole new level.”

“Beautiful Mistakes” isn’t the only exciting project Megan released on Wednesday. The rapper also announced that she’ll be one of the new faces of Calvin Klein’s 2021 campaign alongside pop singer Rina Sawayama and actor Anthony Ramos.

TM88 Connects With Future & Lil Uzi Vert Back To Back

TM88 is making moves. The acclaimed producer recently made waves when he shared a tantalizing hint about J. Cole’s The Fall Off, a claim that had many speculating about his involvement in the anticipated project. And while he has since been relatively quiet insofar as the teasers go, TM88 recently took to Twitter to share an update on what he’s been working on this week.

As it happens, his schedule found him taking a pair of trips to Pluto, planning sessions with both the grown and baby versions of the once-planet. In other words, back-to-back studio sessions with Future and Lil Uzi Vert, both of whom recently collaborated on the low-stakes project Pluto X Baby Pluto. “Started the week working w/ Pluto , Ending it w/ Baby Pluto,” confirms TM, insinuating that his sessions with Lil Uzi Vert are about to kick off.

It should be noted that TM88 played a pivotal role in shaping two of their most acclaimed tunes, in “Codeine Crazy” and “XO Tour Lif3.” Coincidentally, or perhaps not, both are notably melancholic in nature. One has to wonder if TM88 will be reverting to that clearly successful formula on whatever he’s got cooking up right now, presumably for Future’s Monster 2 and Uzi’s untitled Eternal Atake follow-up. Check out TM88’s message below, and sound off if you’re excited to see what he’s got cooking up with Plutoes big and small.
