Drake kicks back and celebrates the Toronto Raptors’ NBA Championship victory onstage in his new Money in the Grave music video which dropped on Monday.

In the video, Drake can be seen exiting a vehicle while an excavator digs out a grave nearby. Throughout the clip, the Canadian rapper hangs out on a basketball court and sips some wine, all while sporting 14-year-old LeBron James Jr.’s Strive For Greatness AAU team jersey. LeBron James Sr. even took notice, commenting “So tough!!!” followed by a bunch of fire emojis.

Meanwhile, Rick Ross smokes a cigar and performs live at Toronto’s OVO Fest after the team’s victory. Ross can also be seen rocking a Percy “Master P” Miller jersey. Miller played for the team in the 1999 pre-season.

The two collaborated on the song in June after the Raptors’ NBA win, according to Rolling Stone. They also got together shortly after in July for another single, Gold Roses. The song is Drake’s most popular on Spotify.

Drake’s “Care Package” Helps Him to Achieve Ninth No. 1 Album https://hiphopenquirer.com/2019/08/12/drakes-care-package-helps-him-to-achieve-ninth-no-1-album/ https://hiphopenquirer.com/2019/08/12/drakes-care-package-helps-him-to-achieve-ninth-no-1-album/#respond Mon, 12 Aug 2019 15:02:37 +0000 https://hiphopenquirer.com/?p=99701

Drake achieved his ninth No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart with his new compilation album, Care Package. 

The album consists of 17 popular tracks such as How Bout Now, Trust Issues, Draft Day, and Paris Morton Music, which were never officially released on an album. All songs were available on platforms such as Soundcloud or YouTube. Care Package was released on Aug. 2 through OVO Sound/Republic Records, and launched with 109,000 equivalent album units in the United States for the week ending in Aug. 8, according to Nielsen Music. Of that, about 16,000 were in album sales.

Drake has now extended his own record for the most No. 1 albums this decade, as all nine of his top spots have arrived since 2010. Additionally, Care Package is the first No. 1 album that Drake has released through OVO Sound, which is the label co-founded by Drake. All of his other album’s were released through Young Money/Cash Money/Republic.

The Money In The Grave rapper has charted 11 entries on the Billboard 200 chart, with just two of them missing the top slot. His So Far Gone mixtape was originally released for free, but never officially released through a streaming service. Drake later dropped the So Far Gone EP back in 2009, which was a distillation of the original So Far Gone mixtape. It marked Drake’s first commercial album release and peaked at No. 6.

Many other popular artists are tied with Drake for the most No. 1s on the Billboard 200. Garth Brooks, The Rolling Stones, Madonna, Eminem, all have nine each, according to Billboard.

None of the songs released on Care Package were singles, as the album dropped suddenly. However, by the looks of it, they are well on their way to climbing the charts.

Drake’s OVO Fest Included Star-Studded Lineup https://hiphopenquirer.com/2019/08/06/drakes-ovo-fest-included-star-studded-lineup/ https://hiphopenquirer.com/2019/08/06/drakes-ovo-fest-included-star-studded-lineup/#respond Tue, 06 Aug 2019 15:16:25 +0000 https://hiphopenquirer.com/?p=99568

Drake’s annual OVO Fest started on Sunday, August 4, and included some pretty big names.

This is the rapper’s annual festival, which takes places in Toronto, where he performs with a series of unannounced special guests, according to Pitchfork. The first night included performances from B2K, Ying Yang Twins, Lloyd, Pretty Ricky, Mario, and Bobby V.

However, the lineup for Monday nights’s performances included some of the hottest acts right now. He brought to the stage artists such as Megan Thee Stallion, Meek Mill, Chris Brown, YG, Tyga, Gucci Mane, Cardi B and Offset, Rick Ross, Lil Baby, and DaBaby.

Lil Baby even posted a photo of him and Offset on Instagram, captioning it “I got so many felonies I thought I’ll never go to Canada ‼???????? But Drake Fucc Round An Pulled Some Strings An Now I’m On The Calendar????????”

Drake also performed some of his old tracks during his performance. This comes after he dropped his singles album, Care Package, which is a compilation of songs which were never officially released on an album. The tracks were only available on platforms such as YouTube or Soundcloud. The project includes popular songs such as How Bout Now, Trust Issues and 4pm in Calabasas.

The album is projected to debut at No. 1, according to Billboard. If Care Package does achieve this goal, this will be Drake’s ninth No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart. It could potentially earn more than 100,000 equivalent album units in the week ending Aug. 8. Additionally, the album was released via OVO Sound/Republic Records.

Drake Releases “Care Package” Compilation Album https://hiphopenquirer.com/2019/08/02/drake-releases-care-package-compilation-album/ https://hiphopenquirer.com/2019/08/02/drake-releases-care-package-compilation-album/#respond Fri, 02 Aug 2019 13:10:44 +0000 https://hiphopenquirer.com/?p=99487

Drake surprised fans with a new 17-track compilation album called Care Package on Friday, August 2.

The Canadian rapper most recently dropped Omertà and Money in the Grave which features Rick Ross.

He announced the project via Instagram on Thursday afternoon stating that the album would include some of his songs which were never officially released.

“Available Friday on all platforms,” he said. “Some of our most important moments together available in one place. Care package.????”

While the album does not offer anything new, it does feature fan favorites such as Trust Issues, 4pm In Calabasas, Girls Love Beyoncé, and How Bout Now. All of the songs on Care Package never made an appearance on an official LP, but were available through YouTube and Soundcloud.

Fans were quick to express their gratitude through social media.

“Drake Care Package dropping tomorrow ????????.. No more searching YouTube YouTube my some of favorite joints,” one fan said, while another stated “Drake ‘Care Package’ is exactly what I’ve been needing for some years now wtf. I was tired of going to YouTube.”

Additionally, the album was released under the OVO banner. Drake’s most recent The Best in the World Pack release was dropped under Frozen Moments, LLC., according to Complex. Neither of those names are the usual Young money/Cash Money which Drake normally releases his music under.

Following the release of Care Package, Drake is now preparing to drop his highly anticipated follow-up to his 2018 album, Scorpion.

Rick Ross And Drake Release New Song https://hiphopenquirer.com/2019/07/26/rick-ross-and-drake-release-new-song/ https://hiphopenquirer.com/2019/07/26/rick-ross-and-drake-release-new-song/#respond Fri, 26 Jul 2019 13:19:33 +0000 https://hiphopenquirer.com/?p=99373

Rick Ross and Drake have collaborated together once again for their new single, Gold Roses, which is featured on Ross’ new album, Port of Miami 2.

The two have previously worked together on a handful of tracks such as Diced Pineapples, Ashton Martin Music, Lord Knows, and I’m On One. The two most recently collaborated on their song Money in the Grave on Drake’s The Best in the World Pack.

Ross’ album is the sequel to his 2006 debut album, Port of Miami, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and sold 187,000 copies in its first week. The album references Miami being a major arrival destination for cocaine shipments to America. It ultimately went platinum and includes singles such as Hustlin’ and Push It.

The track is nearly six minutes long, and both rappers deliver lengthy verses which include personal tales of loses and accomplishments. Drake even references the NBA finals on the track and alludes to Kevin Durant’s game five injury when he states, “All smiles, Kevin Durant trials/Had to blow it on the court, I must of blew a milli’/I’m walkin’ on all charges, that’s my new Achilles.” This is the second collaboration between Ross and Drake since game six.

Port of Miami 2 is set to be released on August 9. Ross has also released a trailer for the new project which is set to drop the day after what will be the 13th anniversary of the original Port of Miami. Listen to Gold Roses below.

Apple Launches “Rap Life” Playlist https://hiphopenquirer.com/2019/07/20/apple-launches-rap-life-playlist/ https://hiphopenquirer.com/2019/07/20/apple-launches-rap-life-playlist/#respond Sat, 20 Jul 2019 14:38:43 +0000 https://hiphopenquirer.com/?p=99239 Apple Music recently replaced its The A-List: Hip-Hop playlist which features contemporary rap artists and culture, and renamed it Rap Life.

Rapper J. Cole kicks off the rebranded playlist with his popular track, Under the Sun, which features DaBaby. He will appear on the cover throughout the week. Drake’s Money in the Grave featuring Rick Ross also makes an appearance, as well as Future’s 1000 Shooters and Lil Tecca’s Ransom.

Apple Music’s Global Editorial Head of Hip-Hop and R&B, Said Ebro Darden, said that the rebranding stems from wanting to tap into deeper music.

“Rap isn’t just a genre. There’s a reason it’s sometimes simply called The Culture: It’s a way of life. And this playlist—formerly known as The A-List: Hip-Hop—is where rap lives, breathes, and moves,” Darden said. “Topped today by J.Cole and the Dreamville crew’s Under the Sun, off their Revenge of the Dreamers III album, Rap Life is home to hip-hop’s heavy hitters and vanguard—the stars and the songs that speak to the moment and define the culture today.”

The playlist competes against Spotify’s popular RapCaviar playlist, which has more than 11 million followers and potentially more. Apple has also revealed they plan to have a Rap Life show on Apple Music’s Beats 1 which will feature music from playlist and cultural discussions about hip-hop. Darden is also set to host a companion Rap Life segment during his daily Beats 1 show.

Apple Music has been a leading streaming platform for hip-hop since 2015, and has reportedly surpassed Spotify in engagement for major releases like Drake’s Scorpion and More Life albums.

Drake’s Euphoria Renewed For Season 2 https://hiphopenquirer.com/2019/07/17/drakes-euphoria-renewed-for-season-2/ https://hiphopenquirer.com/2019/07/17/drakes-euphoria-renewed-for-season-2/#respond Wed, 17 Jul 2019 15:31:42 +0000 https://hiphopenquirer.com/?p=98993

Drake’s groundbreaking HBO show, Euphoria, staring Zendaya has been renewed for a second season.

The show is the American adaptation of the Israeli show by the same name. It centers around a girl struggling with drug addiction, and follows a group of high school students as they struggle with real life issues and battle through identity, trauma, drugs, and sex. The show has already curated buzz, and has since been praised for its realistic outlook on young adulthood. The cast is star studded, and includes actors such as Zendaya, Angus Cloud, Jacob Elordi, Maude Apatow, and Barbie Ferreira.

Executive Vice President of HBO programming, Francesca Orsi, said in an interview with Hot New Hip-Hop that she is extremely grateful for the show’s creator.

“Euphoria’ creator Sam Levinson has built an incredible world with an extraordinary cast led by the supremely talented Zendaya,” Orsi said. “We are so grateful that he chose HBO as the home for this groundbreaking series. We look forward to following these complex characters as their journeys continue through the challenging world they inhabit.”

Drake serves as the executive producer for the show, which aired back in June. Given his TV show history, it seems fitting that Drake would work on the show. The 32-year-old played Jimmy Brooks on Teen Nick’s Degrassi from 2001 to 2008. The show also followed various young adults as they navigated their way through tough situations.

More information for the second season is said to be revealed soon.

Los Angeles PD Was Praising Nipsey Hussle While Having Him Under Surveilance https://hiphopenquirer.com/2019/07/16/los-angeles-pd-was-praising-nipsey-hussle-while-having-him-under-surveilance/ https://hiphopenquirer.com/2019/07/16/los-angeles-pd-was-praising-nipsey-hussle-while-having-him-under-surveilance/#respond Tue, 16 Jul 2019 18:24:47 +0000 https://hiphopenquirer.com/?p=99080

The late rapper Nipsey Hussle is currently under investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department for potential gang ties.

The Grinding All My Life rapper was shot and killed outside of his store, Marathon Clothing, in Los Angeles on March 31 of this year. Hussle was known for his 2013 mixtape, Crenshaw, as well as his collaborations with artists such as Drake, Kendrick Lamar, YG, Young Thug, and Ty Dolla $ign.

Hussle was a member of the Rollin’ 60s Crips a long time ago, however he disowned the gang life and worked to help former gang members who got out of prison get back on their feet. He was most notably recognized for his contributions to his community, as he actively worked to end gang violence and was even scheduled to meet with LA Police Commissioner, Steve Soboroff, and LAPD Chief, Michael Moore the Monday following his death, according to Soboroff’s Twitter.

However, the same police force who was constantly praising the late rapper are now investigating him for possible criminal prosecution for alleged gang activity, according to TMZ. Police believe that his clothing store was potentially a hangout for gang members, which is what ultimately took Hussle’s life. The New York Times states that a few year’s before his death, the City of Los Angeles was trying to convince Hussle’s landlord to evict him from his store.

Hussle reportedly bought the building with the help of some investors, according to TMZ. While the city can no longer prosecute Hussle, they are continuing to investigate his business partners.

Singer Chris Brown recently released his newest double album, Indigo, on June 28 which has since hit No. 1 in the Billboard 200.

The album has had more than 96,000 album equivalent units sold, with 16,762 of those coming from pure album sales. Brown has previously hit No. 1 with his albums F.A.M.E. in 2011 and Fortune in 2012.

Despite sparking major controversy for a lyrics in his song Need a Stack, where Brown states that he only like black girls with “nice hair”, the album has still reached the top spot.

Other albums which debuted that same week and made the top 20 include Mustards Perfect Ten which hit No. 8, OASIS by J. Balvin and Bad Bunny at No. 9, and Daniel Caesar’s Case Study 01 at No. 17. Additionally, Lil Nas X was able to maintain his No. 2 spot with his 7 EP, while Gucci Mane’s Delusions of Grandeur fell from No. 7 to No. 36. Lastly, Chance the Rapper’s 2013 mixtape, Acid Rap, was recently re-released and made its way to the No. 5 spot.

Singles from the album Indigo include No Guidance which features Drake and has so far peaked at No. 9 on the music charts, according to Billboard’s website.

Migos Hit With Copyright Lawsuit Over “Walk It, Talk It” with Drake https://hiphopenquirer.com/2018/10/24/migos-hit-with-copyright-lawsuit-over-walk-it-talk-it-with-drake/ https://hiphopenquirer.com/2018/10/24/migos-hit-with-copyright-lawsuit-over-walk-it-talk-it-with-drake/#respond Wed, 24 Oct 2018 18:55:40 +0000 https://hiphopenquirer.com/?p=96721

 

The Migos tore down the clubs and the charts this year with their collaborative smash “Walk It, Talk It” with Drake from their platinum Culture II album but Durham. NC emcee M.O.S. is calling a flag on the hit single and has accused the Atlanta trio of jacking his 2007 underground banger “Walk It Like It Talk It.”

That’s right, M.O.S. claims his version was released in 2008 on the DJ Folk hosted mixtape It’s Like A Movie and he wants to be paid. The trap anthem also featured fellow North Carolina rapper B $tack$.

In documents obtained by TMZ, M.O.S., whose real name is Leander C, Pickett, is suing Capitol Records and the “Bad and Boujee” hit makers. M.O.S. claims he heard the alleged biting violation back in January when Culture II dropped and his suit claims the Top 10 Billboard hit uses a “substantial portion” of the song. The lawsuit was filed in March and also calls for the group to stop performing the track.

 

 

M.O.S. was a former protégé of early Jay Z beatsmith Ski Beatz and previously worked with the late Ensayne Wayne.  Ensayne Wayne was the older brother of platinum producer Drumma Boy who was murdered in February.

As the NC rapper prepares to do battle with Quality Control’s three-headed monster, check out the two versions and decide for yourself if M.O.S. has a solid case.

It seems like every time we turn around for longer than a second Drake is spotted “boo’d up” with a new girl. This time around he’s rumored to be dating a gorgeous model, Bella Harris.

Harris is quite young, she’s freshly 18 and just graduated high school about two months ago. Making this union a little sketchy. She’s been spotted hanging around more than a few stops on his tour with The Migos. She has even worked with Drake on the OVO fashion campaigns.

She’s the daughter of producer Jimmy Jam, and the Goddaughter of Janet Jackson so she’s no stranger to the limelight. But is she ready for the scrutiny of being Drake’s new shorty? Champagne Papi has some of the most diehard fans, and many have been criticizing his new choice, commenting mostly on her age.

The Instagram photo sparking all the rumors, pictures them hugging a little to close just to be friends. Harris captioned “no place I’d rather be ????” while snuggly in between Drake’s arms, raising even more eyebrows.

Drake’s love life has taken us on some exciting turns in the past, from Nicki Minaj, to Serena Williams, to the infamous Ri-Ri. So buckle up and get ready for a ride.

@theshiggyshow Tells Drake To Pay Up https://hiphopenquirer.com/2018/07/25/theshiggyshow-tells-drake-to-pay-up/ https://hiphopenquirer.com/2018/07/25/theshiggyshow-tells-drake-to-pay-up/#respond Wed, 25 Jul 2018 13:20:08 +0000 https://hiphopenquirer.com/?p=94852

Out of all the songs on Drake’s new album, Scorpion, “In My Feelings” has generated the most social media noise thanks to a viral dance challenge created by internet personality @theshiggyshow. #DotheShiggy and #InMyFeelingsChallenge were two major factors that contributed to the song’s No. 1spot on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart.

After @theshiggyshow and Drake posed for social media photos last week, rumors began to surface claiming that Drake had paid Shiggy $250,000 for helping the song reach No. 1. However, during an Instagram Live video, Shiggy denied receiving any money from Drake. He even ran up on Drake to ask about the money.

In any case, Drake did publicly acknowledge that the internet personality’s challenge helped the song go the distance, but shiggy’s big payout may never happen.

Pusha T’s diss helped Drake Shatter Music Streaming Records with New Album ‘Scorpion’ https://hiphopenquirer.com/2018/06/30/pusha-ts-diss-helped-drake-shatter-music-streaming-records-with-new-album-scorpion/ https://hiphopenquirer.com/2018/06/30/pusha-ts-diss-helped-drake-shatter-music-streaming-records-with-new-album-scorpion/#respond Sun, 01 Jul 2018 03:37:43 +0000 https://hiphopenquirer.com/?p=94466

Drake has finally released his fifth studio album Scorpion and it is one of his best pieces of work as of yet. Featuring collaborations for some of music’s greatest artistic visionaries Jay-Z and Michael Jackson. Scorpion is packed with Mellow Moods, tight beats,  crafty lyrics and the response we have all been waiting to hear addressing Push T’s allegations in diss track revealing Drake has been hiding a son.

Not only is Drake’s album trending via social media. Several music streaming outlets have reported record breaking numbers. Apple Music reports that Scorpion has been streamed over 170 million times. Billboard reports Scorpion  racked up more than 3 million tweets on the day of its release, with the majority of posts referencing the “Emotionless” track, in which Drake admits to having a son. Spotify announced that Scorpion is now on course to break the Spotify record for the most album streams on the day of release.

 

Some may say the latest lyrical attack against Drake set him up for failure. But by the way the numbers look Pusha T only set Drake up to dominate the charts. Many are expecting Drake to reach no. 1 on the Billboards in a week.

Check out his new video to his mo st streamed song “Emotionless” where he talks about his son.

Prince talks about his upcoming book The Art and Science of Respect and why he told Drake to fall back with the beef with Good Music’s Pusha T. “I feel Pusha T was disrespectful because he crossed the line in music. Pusha T went to a “Pig Pen” mentality however Drake was cocked and loaded and ready to fire a response.”

“I call it a pigpen mentality. We gonna put this to bed because we can’t get in the pigpen with pigs, because pigs turn into hogs, and then hogs get slaughtered. That’s not his character. We ain’t worked this hard to cheat ourselves over nothing,” he continued.

“The ingredients was overwhelming. I know for a fact that it would have been bad for Kanye and my man,” he said of the track. “It just wouldn’t be good. It’s beyond music at that point. It’s going to affect the livelihood. It’s going to interfere with his whole lifestyle from that moment.”

Drake Out Here Soliciting Information on Pusha T for 100K Reward

Is it true? Is Drake really paying 100k for personal information on Pusha T? Well according to TheSource.com  Pusha T thinks so, the ‘Story of Adidon’ rapper accused Drake trying to get some tea on Pusha for a hefty award.

Earlier this week, Pusha T slaughter Drake with the song “Story of Adidon,” in which he accused Drake of being a deadbeat father. The two rappers have had a longstanding feud that doesn’t look like it will be squashed any time soon. Pusha has insisted Drake would fail to find any incriminating information about his past that would make for a response to Pusha’s ‘Story of Adidon’.

No one from Drake’s camp has confirmed if this allegation is true or false, but there were rumors that A$AP Rocky was the person that provided the personal material about Sophie Brussaux, the woman Pusha T claims is the mother of Drake’s son.

Lil Wayne & Drake Freestyle to “Family Feud” on Wayne’s Dedication 6 Mixtape https://hiphopenquirer.com/2017/12/29/lil-wayne-drake-freestyle-to-family-feud-on-waynes-dedication-6-mixtape/ https://hiphopenquirer.com/2017/12/29/lil-wayne-drake-freestyle-to-family-feud-on-waynes-dedication-6-mixtape/#respond Sat, 30 Dec 2017 00:10:15 +0000 https://hiphopenquirer.com/?p=91034

Lil Wayne releases another banger from Dedication 6. Weezy’s version of “Family Feud” features a long verse from Drake, which includes a demand for a salute from Donald Trump as well as support for Meek Mill. “I need my paper long, like a Milly verse/Too long, like a sentence from a Philly judge/Fuck is the point in all the beefing, when we really blood?” Drizzy raps.

The first version of D6, released on Christmas, did not contain “Family Feud.” The song was briefly on Wayne’s YouTube page before being taken down and then reappeared minutes later.

Drake also has bars for Birdman and the financial lawsuit Wayne brought against the Cash Money Records co-founder. “Tell me if TD Bank is approving loans/I’m thinking of paying Wayne what Universal owes/My n***a spent a lifetime going platinum and gold/He should own half of the label, shit out of control.”

House Hunting? Birdman At Risk of Losing Miami Home Because of Loan Default https://hiphopenquirer.com/2017/12/19/house-hunting-birdman-at-risk-of-losing-miami-home-because-of-loan-default/ https://hiphopenquirer.com/2017/12/19/house-hunting-birdman-at-risk-of-losing-miami-home-because-of-loan-default/#respond Tue, 19 Dec 2017 16:08:07 +0000 https://hiphopenquirer.com/?p=90965

It appears the bank that extended a loan to Cash Money Millionaire mogul Bryan “Birdman” Williams wants the home back after they are alleging he defaulted on a $12,000,000 million dollar loan.

According to court documents obtained by The Blast, Birdman borrowed the $12 mil in 2015 from a company called EMG Transfer Agent. The rapper put up his Miami mansion — the one he bought in 2012 for $14.5 million — as collateral for the loan.

But Birdman defaulted on the loan and EMG wants the house foreclosed on so they can get their money. They are looking for their $12 mil plus interest and late charges.

This is the same home that was once owned by music producer Scott Storch who decided to sell after experiencing serious IRS issues.

Birdman put the home up for sale months ago for $20 million however after no interest was shown for the home, he dropped the price to $16.9 million.

It is not easy selling a home that has appeared in countless video shoots. The mystic of it is gone.

Fun fact: Birdman’s net worth is estimated at a cool $180 million dollars.

The small screen is not new to Drizzy, off the heels of the success of his latest album playlist More Life, Drake has acquired the rights to the London-based drama show Top Boy.

The show’s creator Ronan Bennett met with Drake last week to discuss potential story lines and ideas. According to a quote from Ashley Walters, who stars in the show, a special role should be carved out for the head honcho at OVO. “We met up to start talking about the show and we are working out a role for him…” he told the Daily Mirror

It is well-known that Drake got his big start in the industry when he stared in the television show Degrassi:The Next Generation. He has since gone on to become one of the biggest musical artists today and this move would show he wants to conquer the silver screen too.

Florida rapper XXXTENTACION has been souring Drake’s name ever since there was a debate between fans if Drake had stolen or bit his flow on the song “KMT”. On XXXTENTACION’s behalf there really seems to be an issue, as he went on Twitter and not so subliminally told Drake not come to Florida or it could get violent.

Member of the Migos, Offset, was on Instagram live today and listened to comments made by XXXTENTACION disparaging Drake found them ridiculous. The “Bad and Boujee” rapper said in the video,”You niggas is silly. How you unheard of talking about a nigga stole your swag? We ain’t even heard of you, shorty. Get your ass out of jail and run that shit up. Whatever your name is. You tripping.”

These words have seemingly prompted XXXTENTACION, as he responded on twitter with the following tweet.

//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js

While this tweet would seem fairly inauspicious under any other circumstance, the day’s transgressions make it obvious who he is referinge to. If you still could not read between the lines he retweeted a post where Offset appearing to be wearing some merchandise of XXXTENTACION’s.

Are two grown men about to begin a beef over another grown man? It actually appears so.

Compton rapper The Game is probably one of the few you don’t want to have beef with if you are not up to his caliber of lyricist as time has proven he can deliver one of the best lyrical beatings of mostly anyone in hip hop today. Apparently there is some issues between him and rapper Meek Mill that has going from him calling him a snitch to The Game acknowledging that he wants to hook up with Nicki Minaj.

Here is an excerpt from his latest diss song “Pest Control”:

“Keep it 100, you Nicki Minaj sideshow,”. “Still chasing dreams, I made ‘Dreams’ in ’05, though.

“You jumped Quentin Miller and now you don’t scrap,” he adds. “It was time to go at Drizzy and now you don’t rap / Ask your bitch, she know I ‘Beez in the Trap’ / You gotta move out of L.A., I’ll put them Bs on your back.”

Looks like Meek Mill is 0-2 after rapper Drake served him up on a platter as well.

Birdman Debunks Rumors That He’s Holding Back Carter V “Lil Wayne Is Holding The Masters” https://hiphopenquirer.com/2016/09/14/birdman-debunks-rumors-hes-holding-back-carter-v-lil-wayne-holding-masters/ https://hiphopenquirer.com/2016/09/14/birdman-debunks-rumors-hes-holding-back-carter-v-lil-wayne-holding-masters/#respond Wed, 14 Sep 2016 21:09:45 +0000 https://hiphopenquirer.com/?p=86437 Lil-Wayne-and-BirdmanThe ongoing feud between Cash Money head-honcho Birdman and Young Money boss Lil Wayne has a new twist to their problems. According to sources, Lil Wayne’s constant complaints about his Carter V album being shelved is just pure nonsense since Lil Wayne hasn’t even turned over the masters to the label. Here’s where it gets tricky; according to a clause in Lil Wayne’s contract, his Cash Money label is supposed to give Lil Wayne a cash advance of eight million dollars and then an additional two million dollars once the album is completed and delivered. The fact that Lil Wayne is claiming that he is owed millions and haven’t received even the advance money for his album, essentially puts everything on hold. TMZ is reporting the following:

In Wayne’s original lawsuit, he said he was owed an $8 million advance for the record, plus another $2 mil upon its completion. We’re told that amount, plus a few more million — for past Young Money album sales — would be the best shot for the record to see the light of day.

On September 3rd, Lil Wayne tweeted this cryped message to his millions of fans:

This is becoming an interesting chess game and unless someone decides to move their pawn across the board, a stalemate is surely the future of this relationship.

We have to ask the question, should Lil Wayne go ahead and turn over his masters to the label before receiving monies owed and trust that Birdman will do the right thing afterwards?

#ChrisBrown Accuser Stripped of Her Beauty Pageant Crown for Lying and Allegedly Taking Nude Photos https://hiphopenquirer.com/2016/08/31/chrisbrown-accuser-stripped-of-her-beauty-pageant-crown-for-lying-and-allegedly-taking-nude-photos/ https://hiphopenquirer.com/2016/08/31/chrisbrown-accuser-stripped-of-her-beauty-pageant-crown-for-lying-and-allegedly-taking-nude-photos/#respond Wed, 31 Aug 2016 15:12:37 +0000 https://hiphopenquirer.com/?p=86341 Screen Shot 2016-08-31 at 10.53.46 AM

Where there is smoke, there certainly is fire and Baylee Curran has some explaining to do. According to TMZ, the former beauty queen was stripped of her crown by pageant officials after they discovered she had nude photos taken of herself but failed to disclose it to them. To compound the situation, Baylee tried to deny the images were her but when pageant officials wanted to give her a second chance, she failed to do other things that was required of her to maintain the crown.

An official tells TMZ, shortly after she won the title someone sent nude photos to the pageant director, who confronted Baylee, saying, “This is not what the pageant stands for.” We’re told Baylee insisted it was not her in the photos.

The director told her she’d give her another chance, but we’re told Baylee repeatedly screwed up and deceived them. She would fail to show for community functions … while photographers were tagging photos of her frolicking on a boat. She was also MIA for events … choosing various photo shoots instead.

The director had enough 2 months into her reign, and told Baylee she was stripping her of her crown, but Baylee shot back, “You’re the director. You can make or bend the rules. I’m keeping the crown and we can move on.”

She still hasn’t returned the crown.

Failing to return the crown after it was requested of her? Sounds a bit larceneous if you ask us. In an earlier report, Baylee Curran was accused of grand larceny in NYC for allegedly stealing a Louis Vuitton bag that also contained a large sum of money. There is currently a warrant for her arrest when she steps on the soils of the NYC.  Could it be plausible that she fabricated the story of Chris Brown pointing a gun at her? Perhaps being asked to leave a residence she wasn’t invited too hurt her ego? Whatever the case, there is three sides to the story and right now things are looking extremely sketchy.
