Travis Scott Drops New Netflix Documentary
Travis Scott’s new Netflix documentary, Travis Scott: Look Mom I Can Fly, hit Netflix today, on Wednesday, Aug. 28.
Kris Jenner took to Instagram on Monday to share a clip of the trailer, captioning it “Wednesday on @netflix!!” In the clip, the 28-year-old rapper can be seen attending an ultrasound appointment with girlfriend Kylie Jenner, performing on stage at a concert, crowd surfing, and playing with daughter, Stormi Webster.
While the majority of the film focuses on concert footage, part of the documentary will reportedly shed light on his relationship with his family, as he “juggles controversy, fatherhood and career highs,” according to the documentary description.
Kylie Jenner first gave fans a glimpse into the couple’s lives in an intimate YouTube video after she announced that she had giver birth to Stormi back in February of 2018. Scott however, is rarely featured on Jenner’s reality show, Keeping Up With the Kardashians, so this inside look on the rapper’s life will hopefully serve as a sweet treat for fans.
Travis has since posted about the documentary on Instagram with a photo of what appears to be a DVD of the film. He captioned it, “GOT SOMETHING U MIGHT WANNA SEE IT..!!! MEET ME HERE NETFLIX AND NO CHILL,” followed by a Houston, Texas address.
As for expanding the Webster/Jenner clan, a source from People says that the two are in no rush to get married or have more children.
“Kylie and Travis are very happy with where they’re at in their lives and relationship and with Stormi,” the source said. “They aren’t trying to rush into a marriage. They’re also considering expanding their family, but again, right now that’s not the appropriate time for that to happen.”
Travis Scott: Look Mom I Can Fly is on Netflix now.
Meek Mill Pleads Guilty In Old Gun Case
Meek Mill will not get his 2008 gun conviction dismissed, as he has decided to make a plea deal.
Meek and his team had previously tried to avoid a retrial after the original conviction was thrown out, however he appeared in court on Tuesday to plea guilty to misdemeanor possession of a firearm without a license, according to TMZ. The remaining six charges for which he was originally convicted were all dropped. Additionally, Meek had been found guilty of seven charges back in 2008, four of which were related to the gun.
During the hearing, he stated “I’m extremely grateful that my long legal battle is finally behind me and I appreciate that it has sparked a much-needed discussion about probation reform and the inequalities that exist within our two Americas,” he said. “I have always told the truth — that as a teenager, who saw many around me die from senseless gun violence, I carried a gun for protection.”
He continued, “I take responsibility for that and – in conjunction with my work on the REFORM Alliance – I’ll continue to use my platform to make communities safer and reform our criminal justice system.”
As for a trial, Meek could have had one if he wanted to, however it appears that he was looking to put this legal drama behind him. It is also likely that he would have won the case, since the key witness turned out to be a dirty cop and the trial would have taken place more than a decade after the alleged crime.
The rapper even spoke to the public after he left court, thanking his supporters and others who came out on Tuesday. He said that he was not on probation anymore, as confirmed by the D.A. in Philadelphia.
Whatever Meek’s logic, he now has some of his legal drama behind him.

Diddy Shows Support For Jay Z’s NFL Partnership
P Diddy recently showed his support for long-time pal Jay Z, and clapped back at those criticizing him for his NFL partnership.
Jay Z previously announced his partnership with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell earlier this month. Roc Nation will provide music, entertainment and social justice efforts for the league, according to TMZ.

The rapper has publicly supported Kaepernick in the past, however Jay Z has stated that he is trying to turn Kaepernick’s kneeling protest into a “tangible change” for people affected by police brutality.
Diddy took to social media to come out and shown his support for both Jay Z and Kaepernick.
“Hov is one of the greatest to ever do it, he has been there more than anybody from the hip hop culture, including me,” he said. “He always has been so selfless and fights for other people. We as a people can not be divided and conquered at this time!!”
When it comes to Kaepernick, he stated that he will “continue to support him in every way possible.”
He continued to explain why he cares so much about Jay Z’s success.
“I was just watching everything last week but it hurt me to my heart because I know this man personally,” he said. “He’s one of the most genuine and intelligent black leaders we’ve ever had. We cannot go against each other, there’s not enough of us. I applaud Jay Z and I applaud the NFL for bringing him in.”
“I believe in taking action, taking steps towards the right direction and I support all my brothers that are out here taking action,” he said. “Together we are unstoppable. #BLACKEXCELLENCE!!”

Cardi B Faces Yet Another Lawsuit
Cardi B is being sued once again for the artwork on her Gangsta B*tch Music Vol. 1 mixtape.
On Thursday, the U.S. District Court Judge Cormac Carney rejected Cardi’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit. The artwork allegedly violates a man named Kevin Brophy Jr.’s right of publicity and portrays him in a false light. The man on the artwork can be seen with his head in between Cardi’s legs.
The judge ruled that Brophy has a plausible claim for using his likeliness without consent, as most people recognize the Plaintiff by his tiger snake tattoo, which is the same artwork shown on the cover.
“Defendants argue that Plaintiff’s claim fails because he fails to allege that his face was visible or his name was used,” Carney wrote in the order. “Defendants, however, cite no authority for the proposition that a commercial misappropriation claim requires the use of the plaintiff’s face or name. Plaintiff here alleges that his tattoo is part of his likeness because it is unique and distinctive.”
Cardi responded, stating that this lawsuit is disruptive to her life since she is busy with other priorities.
“I’m really upset because I really have to be with my kid. All because of some bullsh*t trying to get money and then $5,000,000,” she stated in her deposition. “Are you f**king kidding me? That mixtape didn’t even make, not even a million dollars. I got real lawsuits with real sh*t, and I got to deal with this bullsh*t. This is four hours long taking away from my time, my job, my motherhood.”

Currently Marky D is putting the finishing touches on his debut album Same Energy that is set for release this Fall.
“I just make music! I’m 24 and I’m based out here in So Cal putting in work. I was raised by my Grandma so I really grew up on the old school soul like James Brown, the Commodores and all that stuff that we listened to together. Of course, I listened to the Biggie, Tupac, Suga Free and all that, but I never really had one artist or genre that I listen to consistently. I pulled from a bunch of artists,” Marky D said.
“I’m excited for the world to see and really appreciate what’s going on. This is a big record for me and my fans who are along for the ride. You gonna see the team is ready and we are building an empire. You gonna hear the name Charlie Bryd floating around a lot, its supply and demand type thing. I’m gonna show up and show out and then leave the building. That’s it!”
