Tory Lanez Responds To Roddy Ricch's Accusation Of Biting "Ricch Forever"

Tory Lanez defended himself via social media after being accused of biting Roddy Ricch’s work. The outspoken artist, who often drops remixes and freestyles using popular instrumentals, was called out by Roddy for using the West Coast rapper’s “Ricch Forever” beat in a Fargo Fridays series song titled “Watch For Your Soul.”

“u can’t bite no harder than this,” Roddy wrote in an Instagram comment. “@torylanez i thought we was better than this.”

Tory responded, “I used your beat because I loved your version and wanted to tell my own story about my dog that got killed. I didn’t use anything of yours but a Beat (Millions of niggas go on other beats everyday).”

He then told Roddy he wanted to take the conversation off social media since they have each other’s phone numbers.

Tory’s desire to move the conversation away from social media didn’t stop him from elaborating about the creation of “Watch For Your Soul” though. In a separate Instagram post, he slammed claims of jacking Roddy’s style.

“I made this song about my dead homie … Idgaf what y’all niggas is talking bout right now,” he explained. “It really means nothing .. I went on @roddyricch beat cuz I got luv for his music . And his song . I even did certain things in the song to pay tribute/homage to his song and show love .. not for y’all to tell me Im biting someone who ain’t been in the game making PLATINUM records with THIS style for even half the time I have.”

He added, “One thing I want y’all to stop doing tho . Is acting as if my voice ain’t been the same for the last 9 years .. and that I don’t play a part in a lot of these new niggas sounds and styles . First time I met him he told me I inspired him . Y’all niggas can be funny man . But fuck it … let’s just enjoy the music.”

Kanye West Reportedly Denounces Secular Music Forever

As Kanye West inches closer to releasing Jesus Is King to the public, there are already a handful of select people who have heard the project in its entirety.

Among them is Chicago music industry insider and Valee’s manager Andrew Barber, who says the Kanye who created “Gold Digger” and “Famous” is no more. According to a recent tweet, ‘Ye will only make spiritual music.

“Kanye also announced that he is no longer making secular music,” Barber wrote on Saturday (September 28). “Only Gospel from here on out.”

Although Jesus Is King failed to arrive on Friday (September 27) as originally planned, Kim Kardashian announced the album would materialize on Sunday (September 29) in one of her Instagram Stories.

While not much is known about the project, Barber revealed ‘Ye reunites Clipse [Pusha T and No Malice] on one of the tracks and said the production is a combination of past Kanye albums.

“It was great to hear the Clipse on a song together again,” he tweeted. “Hopefully this feature on the Kanye album opens the door for another project from Push & No Malice. I think a good shoulder / bad shoulder album from them would go crazy.”

He added, “The beats on Jesus Is King sounded fire. He definitely pulled from elements of previous sounds that people loved from WTT, 808s, Yeezus, Cruel Summer & MBDTF and put a gospel spin on them. Of course I need to hear them again, but they were knocking on the sound system he had.”

Tekashi 6ix9ine ID's Cardi B As Bloods Member

Apparently Dipset OG Jim Jones wasn’t the only person Tekashi 6ix9ine identified as a gang member during Anthony “Harv” Ellison and Aljermiah “Nuke” Mack’s trial.

Page Six reports at Thursday’s (September 19) hearing, the controversial rapper also named Cardi B as a member of the Bloods. Complex obtained a court transcript that showed Page Six misidentified 6ix9ine’s claim, which incorrectly identified Cardi as belonging to the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods.

Under cross-examination, 6ix9ine confirmed the “Bodak Yellow” superstar was a Bloods member but denied he followed in her footsteps by having fellow members appear in his videos.

“I knew who she was. I didn’t pay attention,” he reportedly told the court.

In a 2018 interview with GQ, Cardi admitted she had ties to the Bloods and Brims but discouraged young girls from ever walking down that path.

“When I was 16 years old, I used to hang out with a lot of Bloods,” she said. “I used to pop off with my homies. And they’d say, ‘Yo, you really get it poppin’. You should come home. You should turn Blood.’ And I did. Yes, I did.

“People always be like, ‘Oh, Cardi never used to rep it when she wasn’t making music.’ Yeah, because I already got signed. I can do that now. I’m smarter than what people think. There’s so many things that I limited myself because I wanted a million-dollar contract. When I do interviews, I don’t talk about it, because I will lose my endorsements. But since the cat is out of the bag, that’s how I feel. Why? For what? Why would you join a gang?”

6ix9ine was originally facing a mandatory 47-year prison sentence in his racketeering case but as the government’s star witness in the Ellison and Mack trial, he could receive time served and be out early next year.

Kanye West Beats Jay-Z, Drake And Eminem On Forbes' 2019 Highest Paid Hip-Hop Acts

 Kanye West reigns supreme in the rap world according to Forbes as he was named the highest-paid Hip Hop act in 2019. Mr. West beat out frenemies JAY-Z and Drake, who entered in at the second and third spots, respectively.

Most of the Chi-town native’s income comes from his shoe company, Yeezy, which is expected to exceed over $1.5 billion by the end of 2019. The company helped raise pretax profit to $150 million over the past year, which gave him the number one spot on the list for the first time.

“There was a beam of light on the idea of me making athletic footwear,” West stated in an interview with Forbes.

The 21-time Grammy Award winner continued, “A paradigm shift. Like the Yeezy is desired as much as a Jordan.” Yeezy pulled in about half the revenue of the Nike Air Jordan line that originated in 1985.

Elsewhere on the list Diddy comes in at No. 4 with $70 million, Nicki Minaj appears at No. 12 with $29 million and Nas shows up at the 18th spot with $19 million.
