الثلاثاء، 27 فبراير 2018 / No Comments

Following YoungBoy Never Broke Again’s arrest in Tallahassee, Florida, the Baton Rouge-based rapper has been extradited to Georgia’s Ware County Jail, according to county records. TMZ reports the judge handling the case is holding him without bail.

YoungBoy was arrested on a fugitive warrant on Saturday (February 24) and is facing charges of assault, weapons violations and kidnapping after allegedly beating his girlfriend, Jania Jackson.

Video of the incident surfaced online and shows the two entangled in an altercation at a hotel. YoungBoy can been seen throwing Jackson to the ground outside of their room before he picks her up and drags her through the hall.

Jackson went live on social media after the footage emerged to say that the two of them were just “playing.”

According to Leon County Sheriff’s Department inmate database, YoungBoy’s warrant comes from pending charges in Georgia. He’s reportedly facing charges of assault, weapons violations and kidnapping. He is due in court on Monday (February 26).

YoungBoy’s latest arrest comes at an inopportune time in his career. He’s been preparing for the release of his debut album, Until Death Call My Name, which is scheduled to drop on Friday (March 2) via Atlantic Records.

Drake Chews Out Peter Rosenberg For Criticizing "God's Plan" Video

/ No Comments

NEW YORK, NY – As Drake’s “God’s Plan” single spends it fourth week at the top of Billboard’s Hot 100, apparently everything isn’t all roses for the Toronto superstar.

Following the release of the “God’s Plan” video last week, Hot 97’s Peter Rosenberg questioned Drake’s intention behind the visual, which saw the 6 God give away almost $1 million to the people of Miami.

“Is it a little bit cheap to use those emotions of, ‘Look at this person in need getting something good,’ and transfer those emotions onto yourself?” Rosenberg said. “I don’t know the last time I saw a four-minute montage of ‘Look at all the nice things I do.'”

Once Drake’s mother told him about Rosenberg’s comments, he felt inclined to call the longtime radio personality and give him a piece of his mind.

“I’ve never heard his Canadian accent that strongly,” Rosenberg explained on Thursday’s (February 22) episode of Ebro In The Morning. “Drake yelled and he was very passionate.”
As Rosenberg described, Drake screamed, “What’s your problem with me? How did you make this a negative thing?”

He added, “I could hear in his voice that this was very clearly the most important thing that he’s ever done. He was clearly very effected by doing something so good for people. That’s ultimately very great for the culture. But, I still would have said the video is not for me.”

After the release of the “God’s Plan” visual on February 16, Drake called it the “most important thing” he’s ever done in his career.

/ No Comments

Less than a month after announcing the Unfriendly Reminder Tour featuring Playboi Carti, Shy Glizzy, and G4shi, Big Sean is postponing the 31-city run. Instead, the Santa Monica-born, Detroit-bred rapper wants to stay focused on his current studio workflow.

“I’ve been in a deep creative space and decided I need to stay focused in the studio,” he wrote in an official statement. “Unfortunately, I am postponing my upcoming tour … I learned in life you have to follow your intuition — I hope you do the same.”

“Thank you for your continued love and support,” he continued. “It means the world to me. Trust, we are working on something special for you all.”

After announcing the tour, Sean gave his fans the opportunity to help curate his set list by submitting their top 20 songs for their cities via uknowbigsean.com. There were also plans to release curated, limited edition merch that was exclusive to select cities.

Whatever Sean is working on, many are likely hoping he steps up his bars. His most recent release, Double Or Nothing with Metro Boomin, made our Most Disappointing Rap Albums Of 2017 list.
