Chris Brown Lashes Out At Kehlani

Chris Brown has some choice words for Kehlani following her "fake" suicide attempt. It’s been a rough couple days for Kehlani to say the least. The Bay Area singer is currently recovering at her home after being hospitalized last night for an apparent suicide attempt to end her life. It all started following Monday’s drama when OVO affiliate PartyNextDoor posted a picture on Instagram with Kehlani in his bed, sparking up rumors of why her & Kyrie split. While an apparent suicide is never anything to joke about, one particular artist, named Chris Brown, thought the who ordeal was a publicity stunt. Taking to Twitter Tuesday night, Breezy decided to voice his opinion on the whole situation, and he didn’t hold back. "Girls be mad at a nigga for fucking around wit bitches but her DMs got more names then the Declaration of Independence. #YEAHIMTHROWINGSHADE," he began. He then went onto say "they look like they have stank sex," before implying that she was only doing this for attention. "There is no attempting suicide. Stop flexing for the gram. Doing shit for sympathy so them comments under your pics don't look so bad," he wrote. He ended things by saying she would have to watch Kyrie's games from the TV now instead of box seats. For what it’s worth, Chris is good friends with Kyrie and we all know his past relationship with the OVO camp, so this random-ass rant could be more about Chris' loyalty than actually Kehlani. Because let’s be real, there’s no reason for him to step in and comment on Kehlani’s issues if it weren’t for the guys who are involved.

Metro Boomin Releases "If Young Metro Don't Trust You..." Merch

Make sure Young Metro trusts everyone around you. Metro Boomin’s DJ tag turned meme “if young Metro don’t trust you I’m gon’ shoot you” has quickly become a ubiquitous part of the internet Zeitgeist. People have asked presidential candidates about it, and Ben Affleck used the meme to promote his new movie “Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice.” Young Metro is too savvy of a businessman to let an opportunity like this pass, so he’s created a few t-shirts based around the popular meme. One shirt flips the well-known “Uncle Sam Needs You” propaganda poster into “Does Young Metro Trust You?” The other three play on one of the original loose cannon shooters, Dirty Harry. Check out the merch over at Metro Boomin’s site and make sure to keep it locked here for new pieces that are already on their way. While you're at it, familiarize yourself with the origins of the meme.

Kanye West Says Pablo Pop-Up Shop Sold Over $1 Million Worth Of Merch

According to Kanye West, his surprise pop-up shop sold over $1 million dollars worth of merchandise in just 2 days. Kanye West was back at it with twitter fingers Tuesday evening, however this time it was all about love and positivity following the success of this past weekend’s surprise pop-up show in NYC. According to Kanye, his pop-up show sold over $1 million dollars worth of clothing over a 2-day period in NYC. It’s not that surprising of a number considering thousands of fans had lined the streets starting early Friday morning in hopes to get their hands on some ridiculously over-priced clothing gear. “But there is no other brand that could sell 1 million dollars of clothing in 2 days from 1 location!!!” wrote Kanye in a series of tweets earlier this evening. Judging on the excitement and success of this latest pop-up shop, don’t be surprised if Kanye pulls the trigger on another location in the coming weeks, maybe Chicago or LA?

Rihanna's "ANTI" Returns To The Top Of The Billboard 200

After over a month spent in lower positions, Rihanna's "ANTI" is back at number one. Rihanna pulled out a nail-biter against Kevin Gates about a month and a half ago when their respective albums ANTI and Islah were released, barely edging him out for the top spot on the Billboard 200. After that week at number one, Rih's surprise release ceded its spot to Future's EVOL, Kendrick Lamar's untitled unmastered, and of course, Adele's commercial juggernaut 25 in between. Now, after a month at number two or lower, ANTI's back on top. Billboard's chart for the week of March 17th records 54,000 equivalent album units for Rih, 17,000 of which were deemed pure album sales. The rest, 69% of the total, came from streaming. Elsewhere, Adele moves down to number 2, Justin Bieber's Purpose moves up to 3, untitled unmastered falls back to 5, Islah sits at number 9, and Flatbush Zombies' 3001: A Laced Odyssey debuts at number 10 with 28,000 EAUs. Interestingly enough, 24,000 (about 85%) of that number came from pure album sales. So even though they're several rungs below Rihanna, FBZ sold more actual albums this past week.

Wale Plans To Release Two Albums In 2016

Wale announces plans for two 2016 albums, shares details on MMG's "Self Made Vol. 4." Back in January, Wale announced a new album by the name of Shine, giving us the name only and no other details, and now we've got a slight update. In an interview with Complex at SXSW, the MMG rapper spoke on his upcoming fifth album and gave some additional hints about two more new projects. First off, Shine is apparently an acronym that stands for "Still Here Ignoring Negative Energy," and it's about 80% complete. Kehlani and Nez & Rio are involved, but there's no release date yet. In addition, Folarin said that he'll "for sure" have another solo album out in 2016, and will also executive produce MMG's upcoming group project Self Made Vol. 4.

Drake & Rihanna Surprise Fan With Cancer In Miami

The Make-A-Wish foundation sent Drake and Rihanna to visit a devoted young fan in Miami. Last week, as the "Anti" tour hit Miami, Rihannabrought out Drake to perform their smash hit "Work," currently the No. 1 song in the country. During their stop in Miami, the two megastars took the time to visit a young fan of theirs named Megan, who's currently undergoing cancer treatment. Megan certainly looks elated in her picture with both Drake and Rihanna, though the highlight of the visit, organized by the Make-A-Wish Foundation, was meeting the OVO rapper, for whom her obsession rivals any girl her age. "BEST DAY OF MY LIFE! I MET THE LOML," wrote Megan in the caption of a video post she put on her Instagram, one that has been reshared via a Drake fan account

Rich Homie Quan Says Young Thug Is Still His Best Friend

Even though Thug dissed him at a recent show, Rich Homie Quan has still got love for his former Rich Gang partner. And he intends to prove it on an upcoming track. During a recent concert, before dropping "Lifestyle," still the biggest hit to his name, Young Thugshouted, "Hey, fuck Rich Homie!" -- Rich Homie being the other collaborator on the track, taken off their 2014 joint tape Tha Tour: Part 1, which they released as the duo Rich Gang. Since the dissolution of Rich Gang, Thug has seemed to disown his former partner, but Rich Homie Quan, on the other hand, has no interest in contributing to the bad blood, as evidenced in a new track he's planning to release, which he previewed last night on Instagram. The unreleased track seems to provide Quan's take on the highly scrutinized Rich Gang breakup. "I had to separate myself from Rich Gang," lip syncs Quan as the track plays in the background. "No disrespect to Birdman," he continues. With the next line, Quan confirms that "Thugga Thugga still my BEST FRIEND, BEST FRIEND, BEST FRIEND," perhaps a nod to Thug's big hit off Slime Season. Then again, maybe Quan will drop a "Best Friend" of his own.

Are Quavo & Rick Ross’ Ex-Fiance, Lira Galore, Dating?

According to rumors, Migos rapper Quavo & Rick Ross' ex, Lira Galore, are reportedly dating. Rumors have been swirling online today that Rick Ross’ ex-fiance, Lira Galore, has a new man in her life and it’s reportedly Migos rapper Quavo. According to TheShadeRoom, Quavo & Lira Galore were spotted together hanging out in the VIP of a club in North Carolina recently. While the video captured (below) doesn’t provide much proof of an exclusive relationship, reports are claiming the two are indeed an item. Galore, who just ended her engagement with MMG’s Rick Ross, had rumors circulating back in November that she had cheated on Rozay with another rapper, causing their first initial break up. She later denied those allegations, but it’s now looking like that may have been Quavo, if true.

Z Rejects Google Play Deal & Signs another deal

We had received word that the Official Vizion camp was making power moves by signing deals with companies like “Freemantle”, but now weve gotten word that rapper/ceo of Official Vizion has denied a deal with google play reported to be worth 500,000-2,000,000! Definitely a large sum of money compared to a normal income! We’re receiving word that Z turned down the deal because he felt that “Official Vizion” could make more money outside of the deal and it would be restricting for the labels growth! Stay tuned for more information on rapper Z aka Zeus!

Problem Reveals Release Date & Artwork For “Hotels 2”

Problem's "Hotels 2" arrives early next month. Aside from a couple recent releases, Problem has been overall relatively quiet ever since he dropped off last summer’s Mollywood projects, but thankfully that’s all about to change here soon. On Thursday night, the West Coast spitter announced that his sequel to 2011’s Hotels mixtape will be arriving in just two weeks. Due out April 1, Hotels 2: The Master Suite is being hosted by DJ Hed, and led by the previously heard single “Best Pussy,” which dropped earlier this week. Coinciding with the announcement, Problem also revealed the project’s artwork in the process as well, sharing both on twitter a couple hours ago.

Lyor Cohen Says "We're Gonna Bury 'Slime Season 3'"

In a video that can only be described as cryptic, 300 Entertainment label boss Lyon Cohen claims that “today in Austin, we’re going to bury Slime Season 3. We’re going to have a funeral procession right through South By Southwest.” So, is that good or bad Lyor? It sounds bad. Thugger fans have been clamoring for Slime Season 3 for a while now. It was supposed to drop last month, but instead fans got I’m Up. However, Young Thug confirmed that Slime Season 3 was its own project, and would still be releasing. Nothing more was said about it until Lyor Cohen’s strange video. Cohen is no stranger to blocking some of Thug’s releases. In a prior interview, Offset of Migosclaimed that the 300 Ent. honcho was the one who prevented Migos Thuggin from releasing on Christmas Day. We’ll be on the look out at SXSW for any sort of funeral procession and will report back if we hear more

Rihanna Speaks On "Rivalry" With Beyonce In Vogue Cover Story

Rihanna isn't buying into the media's narratives about her. Rihanna is at the top of her game, riding the success of ANTI and launching her own collection with Puma. Vogue tailed the mercurial singer for a cover story and got her perspective on a few different questions that have been following RiRi. For one, Rihanna says she tried to take a break from music after her previous album Unapologetic, but that break “lasted a week.” She was back in the studio before she knew it, working on what would become ANTI two years later. When Beyonce’s “Formation” released during the same week, many people took it as a way to steal Rihanna’s thunder, but RiRi doesn’t see it that way. “They just get so excited to feed on something that’s negative. Something that’s competitive. Something that’s, you know, a rivalry. And that’s just not what I wake up to. Because I can only do me. And nobody else is going to be able to do that.” She also has kind words for “Work” collaborator Drake, saying, “everything he does is so amazing.” She also recently brought Drake out at a show in Miami. But don’t start calling the two a couple any time soon, because she specifically address dating and complains that, “my schedule is so crazy right now. It’s definitely going to be a challenge when I do decide to pursue a relationship … but I have hope!” Rihanna is a woman of varied interests, and she speaks on different ventures she’s working on, including an agency for make-up artists and stylists. She likens her Fenty by Puma collection to “if the Addams Family was wearing gymwear.” It’s not just for women either. Just like much of the fashion world, her collection is unisex. “I always wanted to do what my brothers were doing,” Rihanna explains, “I always wanted to play the games they played and play rough and wear pants and go outside.”

Duke Was In The Studio With YG, Young Thug & Nipsey Hussle Last Night

Lil Duke was cooking something up last night with Young Thug, Nipsey Hussle and YG. Now this is a dope collaboration in the making. Last night Lil Duke posted a picture to Instagram showing himself, YG, Young Thug and Nipsey Hussle together in the studio last night. As expected, double cups were in full effect. No word on what the four artists were collaborating on, but Duke captioned the posts on Twitter and Instagram “ITS GONE BE A HOT SUMMER & WINTER.” Sounds like they’ve made more than one banger based from that recording session, but we’ll have to wait and see. YG is currently working on his follow up to My Krazy Life, while Thugger is gearing up for his much-delayed album Hy!£UN35. Lil Duke has been putting out a lot of music as well, so it seems most likely this is something that will appear on a project of his. Of course, Lyor Cohen could throw a wrench in the whole process, as he may have done earlier today with statements that he would “bury” Slime Season 3.

Amber Rose Lets Her Nipple Go Free

Amber Rose finally frees the nipple, albeit with some minor resistance from Instagram. Amber Rose is proud of her body, and she won't let conservative notions of how a female should present herself stop her from showing it off. Even she, however, has been hesitant to reveal two small regions on her voluptuous bosom, and those would be the nipples and their surrounding areolae, one per breast, for those unfamiliar. We all have them, and Amber decided to free one of hers today in a picture taken by professional photographer Solmaz Saberi. Amber posted the picture, in which one of her breasts is covered by her white fur coat and the other is left wholly exposed, to her Twitter and Instagram accounts simultaneously. It seems that Twitter has adopted a more progressive stance regarding which parts of the female body the platform is able to reveal than that of Instagram, which has remained stringent on its no-nipple policy. Still, the photo left on Amber's Instagram, which you can see below, doesn't leave much to the imagination, as she has obscured about 80% of the nipple in question with markings that match the photo's all-white background.

Jay Z Quietly Pulls All 3 "Blueprint" Albums From Spotify

A power move by Sean Carter. After Tidal’s launch last year, Jay Z was quick to pull his seminal debut Reasonable Doubt from Spotify. It would make sense not to allow your competitor to have your music, even if it might eat into streaming royalties. Jay Z has enough money to cover those short-term losses though. For a long time, it looked like Reasonable Doubt would be the only exclusive on Tidal. However, as of last week Jay Z pulled the entire Blueprint series from Spotify as well. While a few singles from The Blueprint, The Blueprint 2, and The Blueprint 3 are still available via compilation albums they appear on, Spotify users can no longer access classic tracks like “Renegade,” “Song Cry” or “On To The Next One.” It’s unclear what took Jay Z so long to pull these albums, but now everyone has just a little bit more incentive to make the switch to Tidal.

Stream Joell Ortiz’s New Album “That’s Hip Hop”

Joell Ortiz gets features from Kool G Rap, Billy Danze of MOP and more. Joell Ortiz is fully a student of New York hip hop, and he wears those influences on his sleeve in his new album That’s Hip Hop. That means dope lyricism that never slows down throughout the album and some OG features in the likes of Billy Danze and Kool G Rap. Fans of turntablism will also be pleasantly surprised to find some work on the ones and twos throughout the album. The beats are fairly old school as well, favoring more mid-tempo boom-bap sounds over trap’s quick snares and booming bass. The most fast-paced part of the album comes from the album’s lyrical buzzsaw of a single, “Kill at Will” featuring Token.

Foxy Brown Endorses Donald Trump

Foxy Brown is leaving the Democratic team for Donald Trump. It looks like Azealia Banks isn't the only female rapper who's endorsing Donald Trump. Brooklyn's own Foxy Brown is also joining team Donald. In a recent interview with New York Daily News, Brown endorsed the billionaire frontrunner and said she would be doing “a lot” for his campaign in the coming months. “I know so many people won’t agree with me and will try to change my mind, but I’m a smart girl,” said Foxy. “I’m excited…I haven’t been this excited in so long.” Brown, who ironically is a lifelong Democrat, said she loves Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, but is most impressed with Trump’s ability to get things done. “No matter how many people sabotage his campaign, it keeps growing and growing and growing,” she said. “I know people say he’s a racist, but that’s just crazy.” Read Foxy’s full interview with New York Daily News right here. [Update: Foxy Brown Says She's Not Endorsing Trump] Foxy Brown took to Instagram following the article's publishing to clear up the allegations of her Trump support.

Kendrick Lamar Calls Lil Wayne "The Greatest"; Weezy Responds

Kendrick Lamar says Lil Wayne is one of his biggest style influences. Kendrick Lamar recently sat down with The Coveteur while out in Manchester, England for an in-depth interview about his new deal with Reebok, fashion, style, and how the youth are shaping the culture. But it was his comments about Lil Wayne, that not only caught the internet’s attention, but the YMCMB boss man himself. It all started when K Dot named Lil Wayne as one of his biggest style influences, before adding that he was “the greatest,” not just musically, but for what he’s down for the culture. K Dot can be quoted, “Yeah, man, we was heavy. That’s a real story like, we was just huge, still to this day, huge Lil Wayne fans. Lil Wayne is the greatest. Not only because of his music but also because of the culture he put behind it. It was a big part of what he was talking about, so we always hold Lil Wayne in high regards. Juvenile as well. And yeah, it’s the impact of them man. To be a part of it the same way he was a part of it years later is just a great feeling.” Not long after the interview had been published, Weezy caught wind of the compliment and took to twitter to acknowledge K Dot. Tune simply stated “Kendrick Lamar a real one #Respek."

Mariah Carey Announces New Docu-Series On E! Network

Mariah Carey will be taking her talents to the small screen on E! network. It looks like Mariah Carey is taking her talents to the small screen. On Tuesday, E! network announced that Mariah has an upcoming 8 part docu-series on the way called "Mariah’s World." The show will reportedly give fans a closer look into Mariah’s personal life, including motherhood, her career, tour life, and relationship with fiance billionaire James Packer. ”I refuse to call it a reality show,” she said to the NY Times. “I thought it would be a good opportunity to kind of, like, show my personality and who I am, even though I feel like my real fans have an idea of who I am,” she explained. “A lot of people have misperceptions about this and that.” With filming beginning two weeks ago, the show is being produced by Bunim/Murray Productions, the same group behind “Keeping Up With the Kardashians,” “I Am Cait” and “The Real World.” Jeff Jenkins, executive vice president for programming and development at Bunim/Murray, said that “Mariah’s World” would be shot differently from the company’s other shows.

Kanye West Updates “Wolves” Featuring Vic Mensa & Sia

Kanye West releases the updated version of "Wolves" featuring Vic Mensa & Sia. Staying true to his word, Kanye West just released a new updated version of “Wolves” tonight on TIDAL featuring Vic Mensa & Sia, who were on the original version we first heard at the Yeezy 2 fashion show. The Frank Ocean outro has now been added as a separate track entirely on The Life Of Pablo simply dubbed “Frank’s Track.” As for the highly anticipated Drake version we’re still waiting for, that’s anyones guess, but lets hope it’ll still sees the light of day someday. For what it's worth, "Wolves" isn't the first record to be re-worked on either. Just the other day, Kanye fixed "Famous" on Tidal, switching up a couple lines and vocals from Rihanna.

Young Thug Disses Rich Homie Quan At California Concert

Young Thug is back to dissing Rich Homie Quan. A couple of years ago, Atlanta rappers Rich Homie Quan and Young Thug were on similar career trajectories. They often appears on each others songs, most notably with Travi$ Scott on Days Before Rodeo and with Birdman as part of Rich Gang. Since then, Young Thug has further entered the stratospheres of fame while Rich Homie has fallen out of the spotlight a bit. Despite the two emcees’ divergence, fans still clamor for the duo to work together. However, they’ve had a few social media disagreements recently, and it looks like Thugger isn’t quite ready to let those go. At a recent gig in Santa Ana, a fan captured video of Young Thug during the intro to the Rich Gang track “Lifestyle.” In the video below, you can hear Thug say “Hey, fuck Rich Homie” more than once. Young Thug doesn’t seem particularly worked up, but he’s definitely not shouting out his former partner-in-crime in a positive light. Rich Homie hasn’t really spoken on Thugger in a minute, so it’s unclear what would have prompted Young Thug to say this. We’ll see if Rich Homie Quan goes on another TV show to air out his feelings

Lil Wayne Sued For Failing To Pay Lawyer $300,000

Lil Wayne's financial woes continue. Just when Lil Wayne seemed to be righting his often capsized ship, a story like this one comes out. According to the NY Daily News, Lil Wane owes one of his lawyers just shy of $300,000. That isn’t an insurmountable sum for Lil Wayne, but its enough for the Michael B. Kramer to file a lawsuit against his former client for failing to pay up. The suit, filed in New York City, charges that Lil Wayne failed to finish paying after a December 2015 agreement that stated Wayne would pay the money in $20,000 per month installments. Kramer contends that Lil Wayne paid in December and January, but has failed to send any money the lawyers’ way since then. The legal fees stem from when Kramer represented Lil Wayne in his $51 million lawsuit against Birdman. It’s unclear if the lawyer is seeking any damages beyond what he’s owed. Lil Wayne has not issued a statement as of this posting. He also owes $900,000 to the IRS.

Meek Mill & Chief Keef Are Looking To Face Off In Grand Theft Auto V

Meek Mill has found a good way to spend time under house arrest. As of now, Meek Mill is not allowed to record music while serving his 3 month house arrest, so he's settled for the next best thing-- playing video games with fellow rappers. Meek jokingly taunted Chief Keef on Instagram earlier today, throwing up a screencap of his Grand Theft Auto V squad with the suggestion that he's coming to look for the rapper, who's known to be a big fan of the game. It didn't take Sosa long to respond, warning Meek that he shouldn't try him on GTA V "No u aint dont do it meek! We'll fuck yo whole everything up," he said, accompanied by a good helping of cry-laugh emojis. Keef then went on to post a collection of screencaps from his side, claiming he's on the lookout for Meek and his crew. So far, they don't seem to have met up, but we will definitely keep you posted if a face-off ensues. Meanbwhile, OG Maco has also expressed interest in joining in on this battle on Twitter.

T.I. Posts Angry Video Message For Donald Trump

T.I. has some strong words for Donald Trump. As Donald Trump continues to remain the frontrunner for the GOP nomination, big names from the hip-hop world have begun to proclaim their disapproval of his potential presidency. Just yesterday, John Legend called Trump a racist in a Twitter back and forth with the real estate tycoon's son (Donald Jr.), and a few days ago, Chris Brown went on a heated Instagram tirade (in written form) against Trump's allegedly racist policy stances. Rapper T.I. is the latest to voice his opposition to the controversial candidate, as he went on Instagram today to post a video message directly intended for Trump's own ears. "Donald Trump, this message is for you," began the Grand Hustle boss. "My name is Clifford "T.I.P." Harris. I say this as nonviolently but unapologetically as possible: Fuck you and fuck what you stand for! Nobody who supports me will support you. End of message."
