There was a lot of online banter after Tekashi 6ix9ine and Akon got acquainted in the studio this weekend, sharing a preview of their upcoming record “Locked Up Part 2.” Hip-hop fans are angry at Akon for collaborating with the formerly-incarcerated rapper. Styles P issued his response and so did Tory Lanez.

“So what y’all telling me is …. Akon gave the #LockedUpRemix / SAMPLE to someone else !?!?? And not me?!????” exclaimed Tory on Twitter.

This led another party to get involved, suggesting Tory should just “steal” the record like he allegedly did with a number of others.

“@torylanez you should just stole it like you did Grind On Me and Your Body. Why stop now ….. Just keeping it 2 Virgils,” said Spectacular of Pretty Ricky. 

As expected, the shady reply garnered a response from Lanez.

“STOLE WHAT ??!? Actually I BOUGHT the rights from whoever signed u and publishes your music,” said Tory. “But I guess you weren’t apart of that conversation. Go stare in someone eyes and rub on someone thighs and leave me outta this one.”

Spectacular got the final word in, leaving a comment on the post.

“Ever since you got that new hairline, you been acting different,” he said. “Stop with the [cap]. Last time I checked, I owned my own masters. What type of bootleg business you running. You acting like Virgil but not keeping it 2 Virgils.”

Yo Gotti just released his brand new album Untrapped, which his fans are hailing as a return to form for the celebrated Memphis rapper. Spending two decades in the rap game, the 38-year-old is considered a veteran, somebody that up-and-comers can model their careers off of to achieve tremendous levels of success. Founding his Collective Music Group and working with some of the hottest stars in his city, Yo Gotti has been taking on more of an executive role in the business, perfecting his strategies and learning how to masterfully operate a successful record label. In doing so, he learned enough to come through with a historic thirty-one days to start off the year, dropping an album, getting out of his deal, and earning ownership of all of his master recordings.

The rapper made a sweet announcement this morning, telling all of his fans that he’s untrapped in every sense of the word. It’s not just the title of his new album… it also describes his current situation in the industry. “Drop My Album, Out My Deal, Own My MASTERS …. ALL IN DA 1st Month of da Year 2020 GONE BE DIFFERENT,” wrote Gotti on Instagram. He tagged CMG and Roc Nation in the post, which are the remaining two organizations he’s dealing with. One of them is notably his own brand.

Congratulations to Yo Gotti on this tremendous career achievement. Stream his latest project below.
