More About The Russ Tour & Cancellation

It’s a very hefty decision when an artist decides to cancel something as expensive as touring. The last-minute decision comes with an honest & human reason from Russ. The Billboard charting artist reveals that his mental health is severely suffering right now. According to Russ himself, “I could make up excuses so that I don’t lose money but the reality is mentally I feel like sh*t.” The Journey Is Everything tour features tons of global shows across Asia, South America, New Zealand, etc. Unfortunately, Europe won’t be a part of this global experience anymore.

Is Lil Pump Trying To Make A Comeback?

Whether you agree with Lil Pump or not, do you wonder why Lil Pump even cares this much? The two don’t have a great relationship at all, but a lot of their issues existed way before the 2020s. Some speculate that Pump’s video could just be a promotional stunt done to fuel a comeback. He did release a new single last Friday, August 26th, titled I’m Back. Do you think the new record will be enough to fully revive the rapper’s career?

Lil Pump Goes Viral For His Generosity

The public persona of Miami rapper Gazzy Garcia, widely known as Lil Pump inspired fans and supporters across the world. His love and affection for children, and vulnerable and disabled communities earned him immense respect amongst fans. His new viral video on Instagram became an instant hit and accumulated million views. On May 29, Lil Pump posted a short video on Instagram where he interacted with a young fan.

“Gucci Gang” Rapper Gifted a Luxury Pair of Shoes to a Fan

 The “Gucci Gang” rapper generously gifted a luxury pair of shoes after losing a game of rock paper scissors.  In that video, a young kid challenged Lil Pump to play the game at a high-priced sneaker store. After a tie, Pump purposefully lost the game. He discarded the paper and was cut by the young boy’s scissor. He then invited the fan into the store and  the young kid chose black paisley Nike dunks. Pump acknowledged his choice and said, “You’re a smart kid. I got those same ones. We match.”

Lil Pump Encouraged a Fan On Wheelchair

This was not the only account of Lil Pump encouraging a fan. In the beginning of May, the Miami rapper asked a fan on a wheel chair  to come on stage as he performed at the Metro Festival in Montreal, Canada. The fan’s name was Woody Belfort and he joined Pump as he performed some incredible dance moves to his anthemic track, “D. Rose”.

Lil Pump Is Not Out Of Controversy

As we all know Lil Pump earned huge popularity with his 2017 release “Gucci Gang”. Other releases such as “D Rose”, “Boss”, “Be Like Me” attracted millions of views on YouTube. However, Lil Pump’s personal life is not apart from controversy. Reports suggested he is indebted approximately at $1.6 million in back taxes from 2018 and tax authorities is considering to seize his Miami mansion he acquired for US$4.6 million in 2019. In 2020, Lil Pump was in the limelight again as he refused to wear a mask on a JetBlue Airways flight during the Covid-19 pandemic. This led to his ban from the airline.

Rapper Smokepurpp Claims That Kanye West Owes Him $9 Million

Kanye West is reportedly worth over $2 billion, but Smokepurpp believes he is owed a slice of Kanye’s fortune. In addition, Purpp took to social media on Wednesday (Apr 13) to claim Yeezy still owes him $9 million, without specifying the reason for his claim.

“And Kanye, n**ga, you owe me like $9 million, n**ga. Hit my line, n**ga, or my lawyer’s gonna hit your lawyer,” he said.

Smokepurpp did not precisely specify the cause of the issue. However, we can assume the tension stems from his writing credit on Kanye West and Lil Pump’s hit single “I Love It.” However, the “Audi” rapper revealed on No Jumper in 2019 that he wrote “I Love It” with Lil Pump on his 18th birthday.

“The “I Love It” sh*t. I wrote that sh*t,” Purpp said. “Basically, it was on Pump’s birthday. Basically, this ni**a [Kanye West] just called Pump, blah-blah-blah. He wanted to make a song about this, and I just wrote the song. And it randomly just came out. And he’s like, ‘Yo, the sh*t you wrote came out.'”

Smokepurpp Believes He Is To Receive Some Of Yeezy’s Money

Furthermore, Smokepurpp is one of seven credited writers on “I Love It.” This song certified double-platinum and topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart at No. 6. Also, he clearly feels he is yet to receive a fair share of the proceeds for his contributions to the record.

Ultimately, Kanye West and Purpp share even more history. During an interview with HipHopDX in 2020, Smokepurpp discussed how he had to remove a Kanye West verse from the track “No Problem.” Kanye disapproved of himself for cursing in the song.

Lil Pump Stands To Lose $15 Million Mansion

Not everything is coming up roses for hip hop artist Lil Pump. According to recent news coverage, Lil Pump is in danger of losing his 15-million-dollar mansion.

And for what reason? Well, his debt to good old Uncle Sam.

Is Lil Pump in too Deep?

It seems like indebtedness is a normal thing for Pump. Reportedly, the rapper was previously sued by American Express over a $26,000 bill he had racked up.

And that’s not chump change. If that isn’t enough, Lil Pump reportedly also had a tax lien for $89,000.

So, what is the artist doing about this? Supposedly, he’s not doing much of anything.

Supposedly he isn’t doing anything. And now, sources report he’s under threat of losing his home due to failure to pay a tax payment worth nearly 1.7 million dollars. Documents state Pump’s pricey property will be seized if he fails to pay the fine.

Ain’t Nothing but a Thing

Before being hit with the latest debt, Pump seemed chill on the subject. In fact, after receiving the news of the $89,000 lien, Pump reportedly had this to day,

“90k ain’t s*** to me.”

However, there is no current word on his response to the possibility of losing his home.

 

Lil Pump’s Come Up

Lil Pump has been in the spotlight since 2016, when he arrived with Sound Cloud release Lil Pump featuring the addictive hit track “Gucci Gang.” A year later, he was a signed artist, and he’s continued his grind in the music industry. In fact, according to celebritynetworth.com, the artist holds a net worth of $8 million, which he received as an advance upon signing.

But according to the same source,

“An $8 million advance means Pump can’t earn any more money until his advance is paid back.”

 

What Does it All Mean?

So given the details, it’s not hard to see that amassing large amounts of debt is not exactly a smart thing.

No one wants young talent to go to waste. And it would be a shame to see Lil Pump homeless. So, hopefully, he can resolve some of his debt soon.

Artists Who Are Younger Than You Think!

At this day and age, music really is one of the major things in life that keeps us going. With younger hip hop artists entering the music industry, it has become their time for their generation! Let’s look at some hip hop artists who are younger than you think. The information will shock you!

Younger Than You May Think!

More success came for him after the smash hit, releasing new albums and singles. For someone so young in the hip hop industry, Lil Nas X is just getting started!

Next up is Khalid, even though he looks like he’s 28, he is much younger than that! Shockingly, the hip hop and pop artist is only 22 years old. This was one of the biggest shocks of all time. Many people think that Khalid is older than 22 because of his mature content and overall looks like he’s older. Knowing that Khalid is only 22, he has a lot more in store for fans in the future.

With some of Lil Pump’s biggest hits, “I Love It” and “Gucci Gang”,  it’s shocking that he’s the one of the youngest hip hop artists. He’s been in the industry since he was 16 (2017), time really has gone by. With so many achievements at such a young age, Lil Pump has many more surprises for fans. The journey has just begun!

#CherryJuice: Kanye West Its Bigger Than Rap Maga Hat

@elliottwilson

Kanye West Its Bigger Than Rap Maga Hat

Kanye West has undeniably gone above and beyond to make sure he is getting the proper media coverage in the upcoming weeks to his latest project releases.  Making the Maga Hat the center of attention Mr. West has indeed evolved from the sunken place and has met the level of a new low.

Kanye West’s performance on Last Nights SNL Premiere for their New Season got exactly what he was looking for; attention!  Kanye’s performances throughout the show was a disconcerting attempt to draw as much attention as possible to himself and his latest singles. The performances that featured guest appearances from Lil’ Pump, dressed as a what appeared to be a suavitel fabric softener bottle with Ye dressed as a water bottle, the two performed their latest duet “I Love It”. Ye also premiered a new song with Teyana Taylor titled “We Got Love”. Kid Cudi and Ye put on a show for a stage full of the SNL team as they looked on in awe of Kanye and Cudi’s High energy performance.

Teyana Taylor and Kid Cudi gave different energies throughout their performances. Some may compare the unbalanced nature of his performances as a representation of Kanye’s current state of mind.

Addressing Memes that suggested that he should get out of a sunken place came hand in hand with a Pro- Number 45 speech; which outshined every performance of the night. Kanye’s defense and/or logic behind wearing the Maga Hat comes off as a hollow attempt to justify a foolish idea that not only went left but caused an internet frenzy! At whose expense?

Its Bigger than Rap

SwizzBeats definitely made it clear that he was not feeling the antics! Swizz is standing his ground on what he feels and expressed that he has love for Kayne despite the fact that he can not agree with Kanye’s current marketing ploy. Kanye stated that he felt bullied due to his difference of beliefs, these statements fall on deaf ears to a nation of people that get bullied on the daily basis just because of their skin color.


“I just seen that SNL, Kanye,” he says at the start of a video he posted to Instagram. “And I hear you talking about being bullied for the hat. It feels kinda funny because we were just talking about the hat less than 48 hours ago…. I was just addressing how uncomfortable the culture feels with you representing somebody who’s blatantly hurting our people.”-SwizzBeats 

The Sunni Side of Things

Beyond talent still lives logic, Kanye’s current state in his career is riding on a concept or marketing ploy. How could this supersede your purpose when you hold the type of Power that Kayne West has. Kayne appears to be in a drunken state of Power and for whatever reason has deliberately chosen to use the power of attention to dilute the power of his purpose as an artist.

Every person with a platform has a responsibility to serve a God-given purpose to the millions of people in the world that tune in to your music as an artist. Going against the grain for the sake of attention is a smack in the face to the legacy that this culture helped Kayne to create. It’s a smack in the face to every person that ever used Kanye West Music as a tool to conquer our own daily  Monster. 

@kanyewest

The biggest lesson the hip-hop community can take from Kanye West and his recent antics are to invest in the artist that invest in YOU!!!  We can not continue to promote or ignore artist that blatantly disregard our culture for a dollar and a headline. #TalkAboutIt
