6ix9ine will be conducting yet another premiere party on Instagram live, this time for the release of his upcoming single with Nicki Minaj, titled “Trollz,” dropping at midnight on Friday (June 12th). The news broke earlier today that Nicki, who previously collaborated with 6ix9ine on “FeFe” in 2018, would be featured on his new single, the title of which had already been confirmed by the rainbow-haired rapper himself. There had been rumours that Nicki would be serving as the special guest on 6ix9ine’s follow-up to “GOOBA,” but nothing had been confirmed until now. It looks like 6ix9ine will be ringing in the special day with his fans, as he plans to go live on IG an hour before the “Trollz” music video is set to drop.

“I’m going live tomorrow 11:00pm Eastern,” he announced on Instagram today. “TOMORROW WE BREAK THE INTERNET IM GOING LIVE BEFORE THE VIDEO,” he wrote in the caption. “I CANT BE STOPPED.” 6ix9ine pulled a similar move when he made his musical comeback with “GOOBA,” and that IG live stream ended up breaking the all-time record previously set by Tory Lanez. 6ix9ine’s record has since been broken by a Turkish reality star, but if he links up with Nicki over IG live this time, there’s no doubt that the Barbz will be racking up the views beyond belief.

In addition to the news of their collab, 6ix9ine and Nicki announced that a portion of the proceeds from the song will be going toward The Bail Project Inc., which provides free bail assistance to low-income individuals who can’t afford it.

Will you be tuning into the live stream? Are you excited for “Trollz”?

DaBaby is definitely an artist of rapid acceleration when it comes to releasing music. The man has already dropped three studio albums in the span of just over a year, and according to his recent statements, he has no plans of stopping anytime soon. Following the release of Baby on Baby in March of 2019 and KIRK in September of the same year, DaBaby came through with his latest body of work, Blame It On Baby, last Friday (April 17th). The album has received a mix response, with many fans resenting his refusal to switch up his flow. Despite some of the negative reception, the project has still been doing exceptionally well otherwise, projected to move between 130,000 and 150,000 equivalent album units and set to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. The album even garnered over 25 million streams on Spotify in the first 30 minutes of its release.

On Friday, DaBaby virtually sat down with Ebro Darden for an interview on Apple Music to discuss Blame It On Baby. At one point, Ebro begins outlining the timeline of his previous album drops, to which DaBaby asks him, “You asking if I’m gonna drop another album?”

“That’s where I was going,” Ebro tells him, to which DaBaby responds, “Damn right. Definitely, definitely.” Ebro then asks him to confirm that we’ll be getting another album from him later this same year. “For sure. I can’t not do that,” DaBaby insists. “I gotta put out more.” Check out the full interview below, where DaBaby discusses working with Future, Roddy Ricch, and Ashanti on the album, his relationship to his fans, and more:

The $17 million lawsuit against Chris Brown for alleged rape at his home has been dropped. According to official court documents, a dismissal was filed on Thursday (April 16th) for all parties involved in the case. The dismissal was filed by the alleged victim, Jane Doe, who initially sued Chris and his friend, Lowell Grissom for sexual battery, gender violence, battery, and assault, back in 2017. The document was filed by Gloria Allred’s law firm, the attorney representing Jane Doe. It is unclear whether the dismissal was the result of an agreed upon settlement between Jane Doe and Chris, as no monetary compensation is mentioned in the filing.

Back in 2017, Jane Doe alleged that she was raped at a party at Chris’ Tarzana home. She also claimed that she had been offered various drugs, including cocaine, molly, and weed, and that her cell phone was confiscated from her. During a press conference for the lawsuit, Allred said that “this is one of the most horrific cases involving alleged sexual assaults that I have ever seen.” She also mentioned that it was clear her client had been “severely traumatized” by the whole situation.

In mere hours we’re set to receive the brand new batch of music from DaBaby, gift-wrapped and appropriately packaged as Blame It On Baby. And while we’ve already seen confirmation that A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, NBA YoungBoy, Future, Roddy Ricch, Megan Thee Stallion, and Ashanti will be hopping on board, DaBaby and company have been gradually previewing a few of the project’s bangers prior to the full release.

Now, A Boogie has taken it upon himself to highlight his own guest appearance, hitting Instagram with a teaser of the upcoming “Drop.” “@dababy bout to drop that shit go listen to bro new heat,” he captions, alongside a few hockey-stick emojis…no doubt lamenting the ongoing stoppage of the NHL. DaBaby made sure to return the kindness, commenting back with a heartfelt “Preciate always my g.” 

As for the song itself, “Drop” appears to be well-suited to A Boogie’s strength, which is to say the alternation between melody and rapping. “Look I ain’t drippin I already got more money than my opps, I’m just trying to get more money than that yeah,” sings A Boogie, before dropping his cadence and kicking up the pace of his flow. “Had to stack my bread up I was sick of feeling regular.” 

Check it out for yourself below, and stay tuned for the full release of DaBaby’s brand new studio album Blame It On Baby, hitting streaming platforms at midnight. 

Lil Wayne has something in the works for all of us to enjoy, and whatever this mysterious project is, it’s coming soon. Like the rest of the world, Weezy is kicking it at home these days, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t still working. The rapper kept it cozy on Instagram while making an important announcement, letting all of his followers know that they should keep an eye out for something coming from him “real soon.” Wayne, or “Socially Distant Tune,” as he would prefer to be called these days, posted some photos of himself lounging on the couch on Friday night, writing, “Got somethin special komin real soon!”

He made sure to to tell us all to “stay safe and healthy out there !!” before signing off with his new moniker, leaving everyone to react to this cryptic announcement in the comments. While some tossed around their hopeful guesses—new music??—most fans couldn’t help but focus on Weezy’s questionable choice of footwear.

In the photos, Wayne is rocking some UGG boots on his feet, and he definitely made sure we could see them. In fact, it almost looks like he could be modelling the sheepskin boots, especially in the second shot. Could his surprise be a campaign with UGG? Is Weezy about to be their new brand ambassador? While he didn’t specify a date, “real soon” certainly implies that we’ll all still be in quarantine by the time this surprise is revealed. Could it be the release of Collegrove 2, the sequel to his collaborative album with 2 Chainz? Or are he and Mannie Fresh going to officially release the Alicia Keys-sampled track that the producer teased on Instagram live this week? If Wayne’s a man of his word, we’ll be finding out real soon.

The Weeknd‘s highly anticipated new album, After Hours, has finally dropped, in the wake of one of the most dedicated rollouts of the year. The artist revealed the album details and its official release date back in February, after releasing three of its singles and accompanying visuals, doing countless live performances, and announcing a tour to support. After the artist conducted a countdown to “let music heal us” in these trying times, After Hours arrived in the early hours of Friday morning, after garnering the most pre-saves on Apple Music in history with 975K, breaking Billie Eilish’s previously held record.

After Hours marks The Weeknd’s first album in four years since 2016’s Starboy, interrupted only by his 2018 EP, My Dear Melancholy. Notably, as we reported, the 14-track project possesses zero features from any other artists, instead kicking it old school and letting The Weeknd’s voice and star power speak for itself. Ahead of the album’s release, The Weeknd had been establishing a completely new era for himself as an artist for months, complete with a signature, Michael-Jackson-inspired red ensemble and visceral 80s-aesthetics in each of his visuals and live performances. Stream After Hours below on Spotify and Apple Music and let us know what you think of the dynamic artist’s latest offering.
