IN RED STATE GEORGIA, YUNG BLEU SCREAMS RACISM ON COPS

In an Instagram post on Monday, Alabama rapper Yung Bleu accused Gainesville, Georgia police officers of racial profiling (August 23). When the owner of the firm phoned authorities, the “You’re Mines Still” musician said he was trying to acquire a trailer for his forthcoming tour.

“THESE GAINESVILLE, Ga POLICE OFFICERS are racially profiling us !” he wrote alongside videos of the incident. “They approached me and my team for absolutely nothing trying to buy a trailer for my tour at (Absolute Trailers) the owner was a old white guy who called the police talking about they suspect fraud ! I was just trying to buy a trailer !

“The first officers walk up with hands on guns . damn near drawn on us saying ‘What y’all doing here’ …We have a brief back n forth and then As I leave the cop is sitting in the middle of the highway waiting on us . They trap and get get behind me ! say my tag is obstructed but she clearly had her lights on way before she saw the back of my car ! 5 cars have pulled up on us since then ! Saying we do fraud and all type of lies !”

He added, “I HAVE MORE VIDEO BUT I will use only as evidence . We did nothing wrong !”

According to The Shade Room, Yung Bleu was arrested for a suspended license and cited for an April party. He admitted after posting bond that he never made it inside the trailer business and that he remained outside for 10 minutes before police arrived.

Following an apparent run-in last week, cops were summoned to investigate a possible fraud case, but Yung Bleu was originally permitted to leave the scene because investigators lacked sufficient cause. He was hauled over by another cop not long after that.

Bleu wrote in the comments, “They made that tag shit up to stop me u pulled me over before u even got behind me dumb and u smiling cuz u no u racist.”

DRAKE’S HOME ADDRESS IS EXPOSED BY KANYE WEST, BUT DRIZZY CAN’T STOP LAUGHING.

Kanye West is taking his fight with Drake to the next level, as their feud has continued to escalate over the weekend.

Kanye West took his next move in the early hours of Monday morning (August 23), revealing Drake’s home address on his Instagram account after appearing to tell him he’ll “never recover” following his verse on Trippie Redd’s “Betrayal.”

Drake’s Toronto house number and street name, as well as its position on the map, were seen in a snapshot from Apple. Kanye has now taken down the post, but many of his 7.3 million followers weren’t quick enough to notice.

Drake quickly responded on Instagram Stories, casually laughing about the incident while driving a convertible.

Drake referenced Kanye West during his line on Trippie Redd’s “Betrayal” from his Trip at Knight (Complete Edition) album on Saturday (August 21), kicking off the latest back-and-forth.

“I done done it all, it’s like I’m Shawty Lo (Shawty),” Drizzy raps. “All these fools I’m beefin’ that I barely know/Forty-five, forty-four (Burned out), let it go/’Ye ain’t changin’ shit for me, it’s set in stone.”

It didn’t take Kanye West long to figure out what the songs were about. On the same day, Yeezy uploaded a screenshot of what seemed to be a group conversation with Drake, in which he posted a photo of Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker and a threat.

“I live for this,” Kanye wrote. “I’ve been fucked with by nerd ass jock n-ggas like you my whole life. You will never recover. I promise you.”

Not only that, but Pusha T, Drizzy’s other foe, was also brought up in the chat.

Kanye West and Drake are both finishing up their albums, with Donda and Certified Lover Boy set to drop before the end of 2021, with the possibility of release dates clashing.

ON INSTAGRAM LIVE, DRAKEO THE RULER WAS ARRESTED AFTER HIS UBER DRIVER STOPPED FOR TINTED WINDOWS

On Sunday (August 22), Drakeo The Ruler was detained after his Uber driver was allegedly pulled up for tinted windows. As the incident progressed, the Los Angeles resident broadcasted the conversation on Instagram Live.

In the video, one cop warns Drakeo that if he doesn’t come out of the car, they’ll “do whatever it takes” to get him out before threatening him with jail.

Noticeably frustrated, Drakeo says, “This is crazy, bro. What the fuck is going on bro? What did I do? Y’all pulling over my Uber driver. What is going on?”

After another officer orders him out of the car, he shouts, “Why are y’all pulling me over!? He said he pulled him over for tinted windows. This is an Uber driver, yo! This has nothing to do … what is he talking about? This shit is crazy, bro. What are we dealing with, bro?”

That’s when the officer notices Drakeo’s youngster in the car and tells him he’s going to pull him out, which Drakeo says,“What is going on, bro? What the fuck is going on right now bro?” Then, two masked officers start to put him in handcuffs as Drakeo screams, “What are y’all doing, bro!? I’m on Live!”

“If you don’t think the LA Sheriff’s and the LAPD have been watching Drakeo’s every move and IG story since he came home — and listening to every song — I have a tunnel on 2nd Street to sell you,” he wrote. “Who ever heard of someone getting pulled over on a Sunday morning at 11 a.m. with their toddler son, while riding in the back of an Uber, WHOSE ONLY VISIBLE CRIME WAS HAVING TINTED WINDOWS? It would be ridiculous if it wasn’t so glaringly sinister.” Thankfully for Drakeo The Ruler, his jail stint was short-lived. In the wee hours of Monday morning (August 23), Weiss tweeted he was “out on bail.”

In July 2019, Drakeo was declared not guilty of murder and attempted murder, but he was nonetheless imprisoned owing to two gang-related offenses based on the belief that his Stinc Team rap collective was a gang.

The jury was hung 10-2 and 7-5 in favor of acquittal on the gang-related counts, but the District Attorney’s office chose to retry Drakeo for those crimes, imprisoning him without bail for a year. He still faced life in jail if convicted on the murder and attempted murder counts, notwithstanding his acquittal.

He was freed two days later after the Los Angeles District Attorney’s office gave him an unexpected plea agreement for time served on November 2, 2020. The plea came only one day after Jackie Lacey, the Los Angeles County District Attorney, lost her re-election attempt.

The reason for his arrest has yet to be revealed, however his arrest is listed as a felony on the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department website, and his bond has been set at $35,000. His next court appearance is set for December 23 in Long Beach Superior Court.

DURING DRAMATIC ARREST, ‘WHO WANT SMOKE’ RAPPER NARDO WICK WAS TAKEN INTO US MARSHALS CUSTODY.

The U.S. Marshals reportedly apprehended Jacksonville rapper Nardo Wick (actual name Horace Bernard Walls III) on Wednesday (August 18). The 19-year-old wannabe rap artist and another man are shown sprawled facedown on the sidewalk as law enforcement officials surround them at gunpoint in video footage from the dramatic arrest.

His accomplice is handcuffed and brought away to an awaiting car, and Nardo Wick is treated the same manner.

He was detained on concealed weapons charges, according to a post from Akademiks, but no further information were revealed. “UPDATE: Nardo Wick Arrested For Concealed Weapon by US Marshals,” the message simply stated. According to court papers, the arrest is linked to a case that will be heard in 2020.

On the song “I Declare War,” Nardo Wick was featured on the 2020 soundtrack for Judas and the Black Messiah. He’s signed to RCA Records and had a hit with “Who Want Smoke” earlier this year, which placed him on the radar of G Herbo and Lil Durk. His music is mostly focused on pursuing his targets, and it’s not uncommon to see a lot of firearms in his videos.

Nardo Wick stated in an interview with Dirty Glove Bastard that he had to shoot the “Who Want Smoke” video twice because the original version contained too many firearms and he couldn’t advertise it on social media. Despite the loss, “Who Want Smoke” has received over 13 million views on YouTube.

Take a look at the video below.

SHE KNOWS, A SONG BY J. COLE FROM 2013, HAS BECOME A TIKTOK HIT

TikTok has become a platform for rappers to release new songs or have fans create a trend in order to increase their stream counts. J. Cole is a rap veteran from a generation that predates social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram, yet he doesn’t have an account on either. But, due to some inventive folks, he’s already experiencing some early success with one of them.

J. Cole raps on his adultery and problems with faithfulness on “She Knows,” which features Amber Coffman and Cults. The song was released as the third single from Cole’s Grammy-nominated album Born Sinner, and the accompanying video perfectly reflects the song’s emphasis.

Fans are utilizing the song as the soundtrack to videos in which moms and girlfriends discover that someone close to them is lying, such as their children or significant others. The fad has taken on a life of its own, with the song spawning almost 197,000 creations and the majority of videos surpassing one million views.

J.

BRUNO MARS & ANDERSON .PAAK’S FANS SILK SONIC WILL REQUIRE PATIENCE

In 2021, Bruno Mars and Anderson.Paak released two tracks as Silk Sonic, but fans are clamoring for more from the soulful band. Bruno and Andy stated in the newest edition of Rolling Stone that their An Evening With Silk Sonic CD has been postponed.

“I don’t want [the album] to be binge-watched,” Bruno Mars added. “We’re really in touch-up mode now. We’ve got the bones of most of the album, so it’s really about touching up parts that need a little more grease.”

KANYE WEST ANNOUNCES THE DETAILS OF HIS 3RD ‘DONDA’ LISTENING PARTY IN CHICAGO

Kanye West is returning to his hometown. After reports of a third — or fourth, if you count Las Vegas — Donda listening party surfaced earlier this week, Kanye confirmed it on Wednesday (August 18), confirming plans for a third — or fourth, if you count Las Vegas — Donda listening party, this time in Chicago’s Soldier Field on August 26.

On Instagram, Kanye West disclosed his plans with a flier that says,

While some fans have lost trust in the project, others are excited to hear what other changes Kanye has made to the album’s 20+ tracks. JAY-Z, Travis Scott, Roddy Ricch, Lil Baby, Lil Durk, The Weeknd, Lil Yachty, Ty Dolla $ign, Jay Electronica, The LOX, Griselda, Playboi Carti, Baby Keem, Fivio Foreign, Vory, the late Pop Smoke, Pusha T, and others all appear on Donda, which is a star-studded effort in the style of a DJ Khaled album

Apple Music was the only streamer of Kanye West’s two Atlanta listening events, when he was cooped up temporarily inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

With over 5.4 million viewers, the second event became the most-watched Apple Music exclusive ever. Kanye West allegedly made $7 million in item sales at each of the in-person events, which drew over 40,000 people.

Fans should “expect a more detailed show on a whole other level,” according to Kanye’s confidant Ameer Sudan, who told Billboard.

With the Chicago listening scheduled for next Thursday (August 26), there’s renewed optimism that Donda may eventually drop in the hours after the event on Friday (August 27).

Abou “Bu” Thiam, Kanye’s manager and Akon’s brother, reacted to a fan by claiming the album will “100%” come after the Chicago listening.

LUDACRIS CONFESSES TO HAVING A HOARDING PROBLEM, BUT FOR GOOD REASON.

Ludacris has a hard time parting with some possessions, but with 22 acres of land on his Georgia home, he has plenty of room. Luda acknowledged to being a hoarder of his belongings when he joined The Breakfast Club on Tuesday (August 17).

“My wife will tell you I am the worst when it comes to hoarding,” he explained. “My wife’s family, they still live in Africa, so everything I hoard we put on this container that goes across the water and I give it to everybody in Africa who’s going to appreciate it so much more than any family members or anybody I could give to in the United States of America. I am the worst hoarder of all, trust.”

DJ Envy started the debate by thanking Ludacris for bringing his vintage Acura Legend from the 1990s to his car show, which he still drives and has over 250,000 miles on. Since he got it before his popular rap career took off, the automobile has personal importance for the Atlanta legend.

“I’ve had that car now two decades,” Ludacris admitted. “There are things that you have for your whole life and that’s one of those things that’s a staple in my life. I had it before the deal and commercial success, so I’m gonna ride it literally until the wheels fall off.”

In other developments, Ludacris has entered into a relationship with Jif. Luda uses Jif peanut butter as a hidden ingredient in the advertisement, which leads to him developing an Auto-Tuned flow to rap with and generating another smash single. Gunna also appears in the video and will be featured on the remix of his current single “Butter.Atl.”

IN RESPONSE TO FANS DISSING HIS HAIRCUT, DRAKE REVEALS HE HAD COVID-19

Despite the easing of limitations, COVID-19 cases are on the rise in North America due to the infectious Delta form. Drake replied to the backlash over his heart-inscribed haircut in a recent shot of him in the studio by admitting he was fighting COVID-19 and couldn’t keep up with the upkeep due to quarantining.

“I had COVID that shit grew in weird I had to start again It’s coming back don’t diss,” After watching himself flamed, he commented in the comments.

Drizzy Drake Videos tcaptioned their post, “That heart is stressed,” prompting Drizzy’s response.

Drake’s current hiatus while he recovers from coronavirus might be one of the reasons why a release date has yet to be confirmed.

Drake appeared as a special guest on SiriusXM’s Sound 42’s Fri Yiy Friday radio show at the end of July, revealing that CLB is completely done.

“Album’s cooked,” Drake began. “Looking forward to delivering it to you. I hope everybody in the world is blessed. I hope everybody has their drinks, everyone’s locked in. Good vibes and good energy for this weekend.

“And for the rest of you heathens, I wanna tell you, ’cause I know you’re listening, don’t trouble people’s kids, don’t bother people’s soul. OVO, we aim for that head. We don’t aim to please. Certified Lover Boy on the way. And that’s for anyone in the way.”
