DRAKE AND MURDA MOOK REUNITE 6 YEARS AFTER PROPOSING A BATTLE RAP SHOWDOWN IN ‘BLACKOUT 5’

It’s no secret that Drake enjoys battle rap, and he’s made it clear over his decade-long career that he values the genre. Drake was in the middle of a planned showdown with battle rap icon Murda Mook in 2015, but nothing came of it as Drake became a megastar.

Despite being one of the most well-known rappers on the globe, the 6 God still finds time to participate in the underground fight rap scene. Drake shared a photo of himself and Murda Mook laughing on Instagram on Sunday (June 13), leaving battle rap fans disappointed that the clash never went place.

Drake arrived by the URL NOME XI battle rap event on Saturday (June 10) and contributed $50,000 to the main event battle between Geechi Gotti and Rum Nitty. The moment Drake ran into Mook backstage during the event, though, was the one that had everyone talking. But the reunion was all about good, as the rappers exchanged a few laughs and reminisced on what would have happened if they had fought in 2015.

“Me and @murdamookez talking shit about our bars for the battle that never happened ? woulda smoked u,” Drake wrote in the caption.

Mook rushed to Instagram to post the shot, along with a post explaining why the fight with Drake never went place.

Like I told you @champagnepapi ….whoever “suggested” for u not to actually go thru with our battle….. I hope you pay them handsomely! ??? #TheySavedAGOAT #FRIENDLYHUMOR,” Murda Mook wrote in the caption.

Despite the fact that the war between Drake and Murda Mook appears to be over, the battle rap community is still waiting for Drizzy to put his bars to the test. Drake, on the other hand, may be content to work behind the scenes to help shape the culture.

Drake signed a multi-year contract with Caffeine in February 2020 to help deliver the Ultimate Rap League to audiences all around the world. In collaboration with URL, the world’s largest battle rap platform, Caffeine will co-produce and live stream rap bouts.

“I’ve always loved URL and admired what Smack and his team have been able to create,” At the moment, Drake stated. “It just wasn’t easily accessible. It’s exciting to be in a position where I’m able to bring Caffeine to the table and help provide URL with the tools they need to elevate the viewing experience and make it more accessible to fans.”

T-PAIN SAYS NICKI MINAJ GHOSTED HIM IN THE STUDIO, SO NICKI MINAJ KEEP IT A BUCK.

Nicki Minaj isn’t afraid to confess that she’s made some blunders in her career. T-Pain issued an apology after going on record with The 85 South Show and claiming she never followed through on their promises to collaborate in 2007.

“We was about to work together and she stopped responding,” T-Pain clarified. “I was like, ‘Nick, let me know what’s going on.’ She was like, ‘Hey, I’m an artist too and I’m working on my shit so ya know. Baby, chill.’ And I was like, ‘Oh… My heart.’ Maybe I was in love with Nicki Minaj.” (theshaderoom)

Despite his disappointment, T-Pain remained confident that the move was not “malicious.”

Nicki Minaj swiftly addressed the failed collaborative effort in The Shade Room‘s comment section after viewing T-interview Pain’s and chastised herself for not accepting T-offer Pain’s at the time. T-Pain, after all, had a No. 1 Billboard album and was one of the hottest singers on the scene at the time.

“I don’t remember this AT ALL but it DEF sound like smthn I would say,” she wrote. “Omg what was I thinking? He was already a really big artist. I was still underground. Chileeeeee I used to b buggin yo. I was under so much pressure to deliver. My bad babe, all love. I have nthn but respect for your talent. and thank you & Kanye for clearing ‘Go Hard’ for Beam Me Up Scotty last month. Listening to you over & over on that record taught me SM about harmonies & background vocals. Your vocals on that song alone are GOATED FOR LIFE. I listened to every single detail. @tpain.”

Nicki Minaj has risen to prominence in the music business over the last 14 years, while T-Pain has collected a discography of solo work and guest appearances. Lil Wayne, Boosie Badazz, O.T. Genasis, Russ, Profit Dinero, Tory Lanez, and Flipp Dinero all contributed to his most recent album, 1UP, which was released in 2019.

Queen, Nicki’s most recent proper studio album, was released in 2018 and debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200. She just released an enhanced edition of her 2009 mixtape Beam Me Up Scotty, which debuted at No. 2 in its first week.

Mally Mall, A Hip-Hop Producer, Sentenced To 33 Months In Jail

Mally Mall, a hip-hop producer and rapper whose actual name is Jamal Rashid, was sentenced to two years and nine months in jail in Las Vegas on Thursday. That’s a

total of 33 months, which was the maximum sentence he could obtain as part of a plea bargain.

He already stated that his escort services in Clark County between 2002 and 2014 were basically prostitution fronts. Rashid consented to a plea agreement in federal court that included a sentence of one to 33 months in jail.

Rashid was a monster in the past, according to Federal Judge Gloria Navarro, and his victims were imprisoned. She admits she wasn’t sure she’d accept the bargain because of his crimes, which she describes as “horrific,” but she adds that he now looks to be a law-abiding person. Rashid paid for prostitutes’ flights and advertised sex for sale on websites such as Backpage.

Rashid’s lawyer told the court that he was admitted to the hospital in July with COVID-19 and had lung difficulties. Due to his health, his sentence hearing was postponed multiple times.

Rashid’s ascent to stardom began with a shout-out on Drake’s “The Motto,” according to the website allmusic.com. He then put together a team that produced Drake, Chris Brown, Usher, Snoop Dogg, and Lupe Fiasco, among others.

Rashid is connected to a number of celebrities, including Justin Bieber. According to a fan site, he gifted Bieber a pet monkey. Bieber called the capuchin monkey Mally, and it made headlines again after customs officials in Germany took it away from him.

Rashid plays Nikki Mudarris’ longterm lover in six episodes of season one of “Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood.” Mudarris released a sex tape of himself in 2015.

The FBI searched his Las Vegas property after receiving claims of exotic animal and human trafficking.

The US Attorney’s Office advocated for the entire 33-month term in a sentencing memorandum.

In court on Thursday, Rashid expressed regret.

The I-Team asked him whether he had anything to say to the victims after the sentencing. His lawyer, David Chesnoff, responded:

“We have no comment. We did all our talking in court. Mr. Rashid expressed his remorsefulness, accepted responsibility, and he’s ready to do what the judge said and go back to make people happy with his music.”

Rashid has been given till August to surrender. He will serve at least three years of probation in addition to his jail sentence.

Angela Williams, a victim of Rashid, informed the I-Team in 2019 that she was one of his victims. She now claims to be delighted with Thursday’s result.

During the interview two years ago, Williams added, “I have faith that his expiration date is coming up,”

Prosecutors claim that his illicit activity netted him millions of dollars, but the judge noted that he is living above his means and is financially insolvent.

For the past few years, the I-Team has been following this tale. George Knapp was the first to report on the connection between this and an investigation into alleged corruption in Metro’s Vice Unit. There were no charges brought against the police, and Sheriff Joe Lombardo claims the unit has been cleaned up.
