Drake Says He's "Hurt" Over Father Saying He Made Up "Absentee Dad" Lyrics

Drake’s ever-eccentric father Dennis Graham was a recent guest on Nick Cannon’s Power 106 show, Close Conversations. During their discussion, Graham claimed the 6 God embellished his lyrics about his father to sell records.

“I have always been with Drake,” Graham said roughly five minutes into the interview. “I said, ‘Drake why are you saying all of this different stuff about me, man? This is not cool.’ And he goes ‘Dad, it sells records.'”

He added, “I exposed him to every aspect of life. I never hid anything from him … I showed him this side of life. I showed him that side of life.”

Drake took to his Instagram Stories to respond to Graham’s allegations, explaining everything he wrote about his sometimes strained relationship with his father was factual.

“Woke up today so hurt man,” he wrote. “My father will say anything to anyone that’s willing to listen to him. It’s sad when family gets like this but what can we really do that’s the people we are stuck with … every bar I ever spit was the truth and the truth is hard for some people to accept.”

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.

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

Wiz Khalifa Sued For Allegedly Stealing "Most Of Us" Concept

A Georgia rapper is suing Wiz Khalifa, alleging the Taylor Gang boss stole the concept for “Most Of Us” off the 2016 album Khalifa.
In court documents obtained by TMZ, Cymple Man claims to have met Khalifa in 2012 at the airport in Salt Lake City, Utah. Cymple expressed his desire to collaborated and gave Khalifa a copy of a song called “Most Of Us,” which was released in 2007.

Years later, after never receiving any contact from Khalifa, Cymple heard the weed connoisseur’s own song titled “Most Of Us” and believed he was the victim of some biting. The lawsuit claims Khalifa’s track “unmistakably copies the essential elements” of Cymple’s version of “Most Of Us.”
Both songs do contain a similar structure with each line of the verses starting with “most of us.” That’s where the common elements end though with no other noticeable similarities.

Cymple is suing for damages and seeks to stop Khalifa from using “Most Of Us” ever again. Khalifa’s version currently has 30 million views on YouTube.

Jeezy Criticizes Rappers Promoting Opioid Use

Jeezy is bothered by the proliferation of opioids in society, specifically within in Hip Hop. In a new interview with Mass Appeal, the Snowman was critical of rappers glorifying the dangerous drugs.
“I got a family member that’s a nurse,” Jeezy said around the 5:30 mark of the video below. “Just to hear the stories … she might call me, I’m like, ‘You good?’ [She says] ‘Aw man, we had five kids come in overdosed on this and that. I’m just like, what the fuck? You know what I’m saying? Percocet … I was just like, ‘Wow, that’s crazy. In one day, five kids come and die?’ She’s like, ‘Yeah, one 13-year-old.’ That’s crazy to me. But they listening to the music.”
The trap rap pioneer explained that he was fine with Hip Hop artists using opioids but had an issue with it being a focal point of their music.
“I can get it if that’s your vice, that’s what you like doing,” he said. “We gon’ respect that. But once your words get out, and you tell the people that this is it and that’s how it is, it’s like I don’t know if I can respect that. Ok, the music is cool but what you stand for though? If I had a conversation with you, you gonna be too doped up to tell me something cool? You gonna be too high to … I can’t follow you to the end of the earth. Like for one, you don’t even know what the fuck you talking about.”

Jeezy noted how kids, for better or worse, look up to rappers. He believes artists don’t realize how influential they are.
“These people are leaders,” he continued. “I don’t think they understand that. It’s one thing to be a culture vulture — get in and getcha money. But don’t act like you the realest thing since Makaveli, Scarface or Jeezy or Boosie or T.I. These are stand up guys. These guys are living legends.”
As a veteran, the Pressure MC believes it’s his duty to speak up when he sees such a problem.
“It’s important for me to come when I come, when it’s too much,” he said. “It’s too ignorant. It takes people like me to step in and say, ‘That’s cool, man, but you could do this also over here.'”

XXXTENTACION Out Of Jail But Slapped With House Arrest

After being taken into custody last week on multiple felony charges, XXXTENTACION is expected to be released from jail on 60 days of house arrest, according to TMZ.
As indicated on the Miami-Dade Corrections website, the polarizing Broward County, Florida native was released on felony bond Wednesday (December 20).
The 17 rapper’s attorney David Bogenschutz reportedly said the judge is willing to let X fulfill his contractual obligations while on house arrest, meaning he’ll still be able to make music and record in a local studio. As part of his house arrest conditions, he’s strictly forbidden to have contact with the alleged victim or any witnesses in the case.
Bogenschutz added that once X’s house arrest expires, his team will try to get him released on bond while they prepare for trial.
X, who’s brief career has been shrouded in controversy, was arrested on seven felony charges stemming from a 2016 domestic violence case. On Monday (December 18), he was slapped with eight more felonies for alleged witness tampering, bringing the total felony count to 15. Prosecutors discovered the evidence after combing through his jail calls he made last year.
X’s next trial date is January 24, 2018.

African Producer Yo Asel Sues French Montana For Allegedly Stealing "Lockjaw" Beat

French Montana’s 2016 smash hit “Lockjaw” is now the subject of intense scrutiny since it’s been placed as the centerpiece of a lawsuit against the New York rap star, while guest star, Kodak Black and producer Ben Billions, Cocaine City Records, Bad Boy Records, and Sony are all named in the suit as well.
According to Bossip, a Morrocan-born producer claims that French stole the beat from him and flipped it without giving him any credit or profits from the song.

The producer named Assil Youssef – who goes by “Yo Asel” – sued French for copyright infringement in December at the Manhattan Federal Court. Being a well-known producer in North Africa, Youssef decided to reach out to French (real name is Karim Kharbouch) in 2015 and sent a beat via email. According to court documents, French responded, telling Youssef to send more beats.
In 2016, Youssef said that he was shocked to hear “Lockjaw,” with the beat being a slightly different version of the production that he sent in the email and being accredited to Billions. He attempted to reach out to French on social media about the situation but Montana blocked him from communicating with him.
Youssef is suing for monetary damages, a percentage of the track’s profits, and an injunction on the single’s distribution. He believes that his reputation has been damaged because of the alleged theft of the song.
So far, French Montana and the other defendants have yet to respond to the lawsuit but this isn’t the rap star’s first discrepancy with a production credit.

 During his August 2017 Breakfast Club interview, French apparently forget the names of the producers who spliced together “Unforgettable,” his biggest record to date.
