42 Dugg Arrested By the Feds in Detroit Airport

‘We Paid’ rapper 42 Dugg has run into some serious legal trouble in the midst of returning to his hometown.

42 Dugg Forced to Face the Music

42 Dugg was reportedly arrested in Detroit, Michigan, Thursday afternoon (May 5). Federal agents apprehended the Midwest artist swiftly after he de-boarded a flight from Memphis, Tennessee. According to The Detroit News, Dugg was jailed for failing to surrender to a six-month prison sentence on Apr 12.

This is yet another arrest for the 4PF rapper, who has an extensive rap sheet.

It scales back to 2010 when 42 Dugg was convicted of carjacking and felony firearm possession. Since then, he’s had a hard time keeping himself out of trouble. In March 2020, he was again caught possessing a firearm as a felon. He was taken into custody just five months later for evading the police.

Despite all these charges, the ‘Maybach’ rapper narrowly avoided jail time last May. Dugg’s lawyers managed to grab a plea deal for the 10-year sentence felony gun charge. However, the celebration was short-lived. The judge quickly revoked 42 Dugg’s probation and instead sentenced him to six months in jail with two years of supervised release.

Midwest rappers vs. 6ix9ine continues

This comes at an already tumultuous time for 42 Dugg. The Detroit rapper recently blasted sixnine for popping up on Lil Durk’s viral doppelgänger. He subsequently challenged the New York artist to a boxing match, but only if they each earn 500,000.

“I hate it when bitch ass n-ggas do hoe shit to good people,” Dugg said in defense of Perkio. “rat ass n-ggas involving white boys in street shit n-ggas be lames and hoes n-ggas could’ve pulled up on so many other n-ggas they a pull up on a kid with nothing to do wit nothing. Y’all can never expect Ah non street person to understand the streets these n-ggas blowing down on kids tryna ruin kids life knowing Ah real N-gga Ah spit on you bitch n-ggas.”

6ix9ine, of course, didn’t hesitate to respond. “42 Dugg talking about, ‘Yo, if n-ggas see n-ggas ah ah, like’ — yo, 42 Dugg, I’ll smack the shit out you. I will smack fire out you, n-gga. That’s word to my life. I’m on parole, but just me and you, bro? And you say, ‘Yo, let’s lock in a room and get it’? I will smack fire out you with your consent. Stop playing with me, n-gga.”

42 Dugg hasn’t made any further comment at this time. However, with both 6ix9ine and 12 possible years in prison looming over his head, this Michigan mc has a long 2022 ahead of him.

Yo Gotti Extends CMG Label With A Business Division: “I Came Up With A New Hustle”

Yo Gotti

CMG, Yo Gotti‘s record label, continues to dominate hip-hop. With the launch of a management division earlier this week, the Memphis native’s record label is set to expand.

Furthermore, Gotti will be responsible for overseeing the project and managing artists on the side. He will identify two or three artists who are likely to turn their rap dreams into Grammy Awards.

“I just left the Grammys and I figured something out,” he said. “I ain’t see enough of the artists we worked with or artists I feel like should be a part of this sh*t whether it be performing or winning… Long story short, I came up with a new idea — I came up with a new hustle — From now on, I’m finna start managing artists. I want to start with two or three artists and I’m trying to get muthaf**kas on the Grammys.”

Yo Gotti Welcomes A New Signee To The Label

Creating the CMG Management Team’s Instagram page was the first step in Gotti’s business project. Likewise, it has more than 8,500 followers. Moreover, future artists must DM Gotti and the management’s Instagram account if they have the skills.

Mozzy made his way into the CMG family last week with his chaining day. Members of the CMG crew, including Moneybagg Yo and Blac Youngsta, surrounded him and gifted him with a heavy chain. Furthermore, Yo Gotti released his CM10: Free Game album in February. On April 8, EST Gee and 42 Dugg (signed to 4PF in a joint venture) will release their collaborative album, Last Ones Left.

2 Chainz reveals that he features Canadian singer Justin Beiber on his new album, “Dope Don’t Sell Itself.” The Atlanta rapper, also known as Tity Boi, shares insight on the deluxe album edition during his appearance on Drink Champs hosted by N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN.

The “new & exotic” album

Just months ago, he deemed the album “new & exotic”. He addressed his fans via Instagram:  Hey you how you been !?, Its been a minute I know ,but im back with something new and exotic.” He ended the announcement, “Sincerely Yours , Two Tone.” Toni

The Atlanta rapper shares he has a feature with Gucci Mane as well. 2 Chainz plans to release five additional songs, after intentionally making the project 30-minutes long. This album is not the first time Tity Boi and Beiber have worked together. The hit single “Boyfriend,” released by Justin Beiber in 2012, features 2 Chainz on the remix.

“One of them is this hard-ass shit I got with [Justin] Bieber,” Tity Boi says. “And then me and Gucci [Mane] got one.”

2 Chainz gives insight on the new project.

The “Dope Don’t Sell Itself” album is not heavy on lyricism. However, 2 Chainz tells the host more about his future projects. Next, he will collaborate on a sequel with Lil Wayne, which he explains to be out of this world.

I’m about to drop this project with me and [Lil] Wayne, ColleGrove 2,” Tity Boi says. “We rapping in the metaverse. It has a title that I haven’t put out yet.”

In addition, 2 Chainz is preparing to release a project with producer Statik Selektah. “These projects are already done. I know what I got,” he says.

The original “Dope Don’t Sell Itself” album features 42 Dugg, Moneybagg Yo, NBA YoungBoy, Lil Baby and many others. Notable songs are “Kingpen Ghostwriter” and “10 bracelets.” The album is currently streaming on all platforms.

42 Dugg Says Rae Sremmurd Could Have Dominated TikTok

42 Dugg went on Twitter to claim that Rae Sremmurd would dominate TikTok, if it was around earlier. Swae Lee has also asked him to feature in “SremmLife 4.”

Rae Sremmurd, TikTok And Mannequin Challenge

TikTok is an app that was first launched in 2016 in China. It is a social media app that is focused on short-form videos. This has caused it to become the perfect place for the challenge videos that incorporate copyrighted music. The music in these challenge videos would then blow up, causing the song to become famous.

Coincidentally, also in 2016, Rae Sremmurd became famous for the Mannequin Challenge. The challenge video is to act like a mannequin in time with the song “Black Beatles.” The trend was so popular that it caused the composition to become a No. 1 Hot 100 single and even caused Paul McCartney to hop on the bandwagon.

On February 2, 42 Dugg tweeted that if TikTok was around earlier, then the album Rae Srummurd would dominate the platform.

The next day, Swan Lee responded to the tweet, requesting 42 Dugg to feature on the upcoming “SremmLife 4″ album.

“Need you on that Sremm 4. We started viral challenges to be honest it’s crazy how people react to the music …New albums on the horizon. Take 1 step back to take 10 steps forward.”

“SremmLife 4”

“SremmLife 4” has been in the works since 2018. Rae Sremmurd talked about the upcoming record at the time too. The album was previously promised a 2019 release date, which obviously did not pass.

“SremmLife 4,” we’re sticking to the script of what we do on the “SremmLife;” making club bangers, making timeless classics, and just bringing the vibe,” he explained in October 2018. “Me and Slim Jxmmi are coming together for another classic album, our fourth album. “SremmLife 4″ will come early next year.”

What makes Dope Don’t Sell Itself so special? It might be the last trap album of his career. Last summer, 2 Chainz left a cryptic message on Twitter hinting that he was working on his final collection of trap music. It leaves many questions about the next step in 2 Chainz’s career as a veteran MC.

First Glimpse of a First Single

As 2 Chainz teases his new album Dope Don’t Sell Itself, he also announced that its first official single will drop this week. The song, “Million Dollars Worth of Game”, features budding Detroit rapper 42 Dugg. 2 Chainz shared a snippet of the lead single on his Instagram page, and it appears to be a real banger with tons of hit potential. The combination of the airy flute lead melody and bouncy 808 drums form the recipe for a solid 2 Chainz song. Check it out yourself below:

Lakeyah Dreams Of Making It To Hollywood In Her ABCs

Lakeyah

During XXL Freshman’s ABCs” segment, Quality Control signee, Lakeyah listed Hollywood when asked to define the letter “H.” 

“H stands for Hollywood because that’s where I’m a be,” Lakeyah shares. “We in Atlanta now, but that’s next.”

The rising artist also listed several notable items while doing XXL’s ABCs. For “B,” she declares, “B is for bossy because that’s what I think my music is.” Once Lakeyah reached the letter “O,” she signified it as outstanding. She went on to give Megan Thee Stallion some cred for displaying this attribute. 

“Shout-out Meg, she said, ‘I don’t stand outside ’cause I’m too outstanding.'” 

When it comes to the letter P, she defined it as something she’s currently doing within the rap industry.

 “P is for pressure,” she reports. “I’m pressure. I’m coming with the pressure. I got the pressure.”

Elsewhere in the video, we learn that she’s a hopeless romantic, tall, and ambitious.

Lakeyah surely defines a go-getter as she traveled from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to Atlanta, Georgia, to become a successful artist. Because of having busy mornings and sleepless nights, the hip-hop figure made a dream into reality. Some songs that fans recognize her from are “Big FlexHer,” “Poppin,” and City Girls’ “Female Goat.” Recently, she dropped a song titled “Young And Ratchet.”
