There's something going on with the Ks, and we're not talking about the Kardashians. Bay Area artists tend to stick together like glue, but some have wondered if there's a bit of animosity between Kehlani and Kamaiyah. The songstress and emcee have been friendly in the past, but after Kamaiyah hopped on Instagram Live on Tuesday (April 28), fans took to social media with questions about a rift between the two artists.
While on Live, Kamaiyah was just laying back and speaking candidly with her fans. At one point, someone commented something about Kehlani and then Kamaiyah began speaking about not being friends with a certain person. She didn't name Kehlani directly, but people have assumed it her because of the placement of the comment and because Kamaiyah is signed to YG's record label, 4Hunnid.
"And I don't answer no questions," Kamaiyah said after a laugh. "I ain't answering no questions. That n*gga know what it is. It's been up for a while now. Y'all keep asking me questions. I don't f*ck with her, at all. At all. She know why. That's that." Prior to that, Kamaiyah seemed to bring up Keyshia Cole, another Bay Area native who was rumored to be beefing with Kehlani, as well. Check out the clips below for more insight.
YG’s 4Hunnid Label Announces Joint Venture With Epic Records
YG’s 4Hunnid label announces partnership with Epic Records.
Earlier this week, YG’s 4Hunnid label announced a joint venture with Epic Records. The deal will see Epic exclusively handling the release, distribution, and marketing of new music from 4Hunnid, with the first release set to be something new from YG’s “Her Story” collaborator Day Sulan.
“Me and my team have been doing innovative, legendary stuff for years—helping keep the West Coast alive,” YG said in a statement to Variety. “Now, Epic comes through at the best possible time with a platform for our expansion. I’m proud of this opportunity and will make the most of it.”
Epic CEO Syl Rhone said the team at the label was “delighted” by the deal, touting YG’s brand as a “forward-thinking” voice that “perfectly represents the new face of hip-hop music.”

According to the announcement, 4Hunnid “encapsulates YG’s versatility and impact, touting impeccable branding, inimitable style, and ambitious vision for both the label and its affiliated clothing line.”
Speaking with Complex a couple years ago, YG opened up about his bad business deals and the early lessons he learned in the industry. “I came into this game in a fucked deal, and I didn’t get the money I was supposed to get,” he said at the time. “The kids that are coming up now know a lot more than I did on this business shit, and the times are different. You just need to make sure you don’t get taken advantage of.”
YG’s 4Hunnid Label Announced Joint Venture With Epic Records
YG is taking his label to new heights.
YG‘s making major boss moves in his own right with the 4Hunnid imprint. The rapper just announced that his label has signed a joint partnership with Epic Records. The label under the Sony Music branch will be the ones who release, distribute and market any new music he has on the way.
“Me and my team have been doing innovative, legendary stuff for years—helping keep the West Coast alive,” YG said in a statement to Variety. “Now, Epic comes through at the best possible time with a platform for our expansion. I’m proud of this opportunity and will make the most of it.”
YG’s certainly put his best foot forward with the 4Hunnid label since its inception. YG’s been able to turn 4Hunnid into a clothing and lifestyle brand as well.
Chairwoman and CEO of Epic Records, Syl Rhone, expressed her excitement over the new partnership deal with YG’s label. “We at Epic are delighted by this joint venture with YG and his forward-thinking 4Hunnid brand,” she said. “YG perfectly represents the new face of hip-hop music: versatile, creative, multifaceted, and steeped in history but versed in current trends. This marks an exciting addition to our roster and offerings.”
The rapper recently released his last single, “Konclusions” earlier this month for Valentine’s Day. Unfortunately, days later, Kehlani had aired out her own problems. Perhaps this might be what inspires YG’s next album.
