Kanye West continued to keep the momentum high for his highly-anticipated album, DONDA, by throwing yet another listening party. This time around, Ye hosted the listening session at Soldier Field, which is located in Chicago. The most absurd promotional act of that evening was when West set himself on fire. Luckily, it was more of a stunt than a mysterious cry for help. 

Along with previous LP parties, this one was held at the Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta, where West currently resides amidst the completion of DONDA. 

Another significant moment from the DONDA listening party was when West re-enacted his marriage ceremony to ex-wife Kim Kardashian. Amid the head scratches, the fashion mogul stepped onstage wearing a white Balenciaga Couture wedding dress. The two did this special scene while West’s “No Child Left Behind” blared through the speakers. 

DaBaby and Marilyn Manson, who are currently facing cancel culture, also made an appearance. A track that once included Jay-Z now carries a verse by the “Ball If I Want To” megastar. 

Instead of getting applause from fans, they continue to question DONDA’s release. One wrote, “Please for the love of god drop this album,” while another fan penned in all caps, “OKAY? NOW WHERE IS IT?”

Given these points, it’s time for West to stop cutting corners and instead put DONDA front and center for the whole world to hear. 

Are you tired of Kanye West’s delay for DONDA, or do you think it correlates with Drake putting off Certified Lover Boy? Feel free to comment below with your opinion.

Meg Thee Stallion says “it’s about time” for representation and acceptance in hip hop.

Cash Sh*t collaborator, Da Baby, has been under fire recently for his homophobic rant about HIV/AIDS. During his Rolling Loud Miami set on July 25, the rapper brought out Tory Lanez, who has been charged with shooting Meg thee Stallion last summer, before proceeding to go on his homophic rant:

“If you didn’t show up today with HIV, AIDS, or any of them deadly sexually transmitted diseases that’ll make you die in two to three weeks, then put your cellphone lighter up,” he said. “Ladies, if your p—y smell like water, put your cellphone lighter up. Fellas, if you ain’t sucking di– in the parking lot, put your cellphone lighter up.”

It didn’t take long before fans and celebrities started speaking out against Da Baby 

Music industry icons, like Madonna and Elton John, expressed their disgust in Da Baby’s views. The outpour of contempt over Da Baby’s rant has been severe. More than 8 festivals (so far) to pull the 29-year-old rapper from their line ups. Some of them being pop-culture festival traditions, like Lollapalooza, iHeart Radio, and the Governer’s Ball NYC.

Back in June 2020, the “ex-work couple” Meg thee Stallion and Da Baby argued back and forth on Twitter about Da Baby’s involvement with Tory Lanez. Prior to Baby releasing his song “Skat” featuring Lanez, controversy arose. Several fans pointed out a retweeted post by Da Baby that made light of Megan getting shot.

“I guess @DaBabyDaBaby and @torylanez cool now bc they both shot somebody and don’t have to do no jail time,” the tweet read.

Da Baby denied these allegations, claiming the retweet came from a Twitter bug or a hacker.

Without mentioning her foe by name, in her most recent interview with People, Meg the Stallion expressed the need for acceptance of the LGBTQ+ community 

“It is about time. Representation is important, and it is really crucial for us all to have compassion and acceptance of every human.”

In June 2019, Meg the Stallion made sure to hold herself accountable when her old homophobic tweets from 2011 and 2012 resurfaced online. The Houston rapper acknowledged she made the insensitive comments back in high school and “obviously meant no harm.” A more mature woman now, she tweeted,

“I’ve already apologized for tweets that obviously do not represent my views now. I don’t do nothing but show love to everyone so just stop.”

Megan talks about her love for the LGBTQ+ community, becoming a college graduate, and learning BitCoin in the full interview with People here.

Future Emcees

Lil Baby has really made his mark in the industry, but can we say he has the right to say who the future belongs to music-wise. During an interview with Billboard, he was asked to speak on multiple topics. The one to catch media attention is the future of the rap game in a decade.  Lil Baby expresses that the future emcees will consist of Roddy Rich, Da Baby, and Meg Thee Stallion.

Lil Baby Predicts the Future Top 3 Emcees

Roddy Rich, Meg Thee Stallion, and Da Baby have left their mark the previous year, and it’s only the beginning. A low blow from the pandemic, artists are gearing up for the opening, and when it happens, it’ll be a never-ending celebration. Who knows if Lil Baby and the future emcees will collab down the road, but news of Lil Baby and Drake is in the air.

DeMarcus Cousins took to Twitter to share his thoughts on an unreleased Lil Baby X Drake song.  Lil Baby was asked and even provoked the thought that he and Drake have tracks on the way.

“It just so happened that one of the songs I recorded was at James Harden’s studio. I ain’t delete the songs out the computer so the songs were still there. James probably got the team at the house and they just listening in the studio. So when I seen [the tweet] I was like, “Damn. How did he hear this song before?”

We can trust Cousins’ word, but with the release of Certified Loverboy Next month, maybe Lil Baby will make an appearance and share what we’ve been missing.
