Young Thug went to the airport to apologize to the employees he might have offended during a recent trip.
He shared picture evidence of his trip on Instagram noting that his mom encouraged him to go back. “When your mama make u go to the airport and apologize sorry love ones….,” he captioned the photo of him near what appears to be an airport seating area.
Partynextdoor has finally spoken out following the removal of Jeremih from the lineup of their joint Summer’s Over Tour.
“I appreciate everybody filling up this room, and standing in this room, and not refunding your ticket, because you want to see a real person,” he told the crowd. “I might not have the most hits in the game that’s under my name—I might not sing the best falsetto…Everyone knows I’m a real person and I don’t have time for any other fake shit. I can’t do fake shit. I’m not calling nobody fake, I’m just saying.”
The whole thing allegedly began because Jeremih wanted to be listed as a co-headliner on the tour. News of a beef started to surface after the Chicago stop when Jeremih dropped the mic and stormed off stage. “Truth is ‘they’ didnt want me 2 perform tonight..it sad people will take ur money and blatantly make it seem like I only want to do 2 songs,” he later tweeted of the incident. Then, he allegedly sent a stunt double to perform for him on the Houston stop of the tour. The tension seemingly came to a head after Jeremih dissed PND on stage in Dallas, calling him a “bitch ass ni**a.” Jeremih was removed from the final dates and Live Nation offered fans full refunds on tickets to the tour.
Prior to the tension and tour, Jeremih actually announced that he and PND were working on a collaborative album. As recently as November, PND even discussed how the two were hitting the studio together. “Our energies are similar, you know? When you get into the studio, you never know who is going to fit your energy. I’m just glad that we can co-exist. It’s never competitive with us. It’s just fun.”

More good news for Chance the Rapper fans: We now have a behind-the-scenes look at his Magnificent Coloring World Tour.
This weekend, Virginia-based filmmaker Tahjee Wallace shared a 16-minute video with rare footage of Chance’s journey around the globe.

If you weren’t able to attend the show, or you’re just curious how it all went down, this film is a must-watch.
There’s a reason why the “platinum with no features” meme took off after J. Cole dropped 2014 Forest Hills Drive: dude can move units. It looks like that streak will continue with 4 Your Eyez Only, as Billboard projects Cole’s latest effort will move around 550,000 units in its first week. Of that total, 360,000 to 380,000 will be in traditional sales.
To put that into perspective, only two albums have had a higher first week total this year: Drake’s Views (1.04 million) and Beyoncé’s Lemonade (653,000). The 550,000 mark would easily pass 2014 Forest Hills Drive as Cole’s highest first week total, which bowed at 371,000 in December two years ago.
Of course, that final tally would also handily take the top spot on the Billboard 200 album chart, making 4 Your Eyez Only Cole’s fourth consecutive album to hit No. 1. It will also count as his third to debut at No. 1: Born Sinner debuted at No. 2 before hitting the top slot in its third week of release.
J. Cole has yet to do any press around 4 Your Eyez Only. Aside from a 40-minute doc, the most we’ve gotten from him so far has been a tweet on album release night. And he’s about to do over half a milli first week. Incredible, to say the least.
Complex did recently catch up with Elite, co-executive producer of 4 Your Eyez Only, to get some insight into the making of the project. 4 Your Eyez Only is available on iTunes.
Nicki Minaj has the internet thinking that she and Meek Mill might have broken up after sharing some confusing Instagram posts.
“Thank God u blew it. Thank God I dodged the bullet. I’m so over u. Baby good lookin out. #BestThingUNeverHad thank u for this epic gift @sincerearmani?,” she captioned a picture of some new Chanel sandals on Sunday.
Travis Scott and Chase B. are chatted with Migos for the seventh episode of their Beats 1 .Wav radio show.
Of course, they played some recent bangers like Kid Cudi and Travis Scott’s “Baptized in Fire” and Meek Mill’s Quavo-featured “The Difference.”
The conversation covered Quavo making his acting debut on Donald Glover’s hit new show, Atlanta with him admitting he hops he gets to continue on the show. “They got a season two going so hopefully I get a call back.”
Quavo was then pressed about upcoming tour plans. “Hell yeah I plan on going on tour after we drop this album,” he revealed. “The album is going to come real soon. I’m still scared to let you know when it’s all dropping,” he aid before adding that it is coming soon. The rap trio even headed out to Tahoe recently to shoot their video for their album track, “T-Shirt.”
Of course, the Wav hosts pressed Quavo to ask when his own album might be coming out. The rapper has been dropping a string solo releases as of late including “My Pockets” and “Trapstar,” which dropped at the end of November. “Quavo album right after we get that Quavo and Travis album,” he said. Whether or not the joint album actually happens remains to be seen, but it sure would get fans excited.
Towards the end of the interview, Takeoff stepped into the room for a quick minute to join the conversation. The pair then launched into a Migos freestyle, lighting up the waves with some heavy bars.
50 Cent has a documented history with the Fox drama Empire. Things began with some tweets directed at Empire star Taraji P. Henson, and the two had a brief social media exchange as viewers compared Empire to 50’s Starz drama Power. With Power having wrapped up a third season and Empire in the midst of its third season as well, 50 doubled down on his criticism of the rival show.
Soulja Boy is extending an olive branch to Shia LaBeouf to squash the feud—sort of. Shia dropped a freestyle earlier this week in response to Soulja Boy banning him from Atlanta and now we’re getting the first response from the rapper.
“You a bitch. You can’t come to Atlanta,” he said in a video grabbed by TMZ. “Only way I’d give Shia LaBeouf a pass—he gotta put me in the next Transformers movie. Put me in a movie. Put me in something and you can come to Atlanta and I’ll do a song with you and we can squash the beef.”
Drake’s Views and “One Dance” both earned the top spot as on iTunes’ best-selling album and single list, respectively.
This news isn’t too surprising considering Drake has a very tight business relationship with Apple and first debuted his latest album on Apple Music’s Beats 1 Radio earlier this year. Views went on to become the first album to earn more than a billion streams on Apple Music.
The rest of iTunes’ list is filled with other huge projects of 2016 including Rihanna’s Anti that landed in the No. 2 spot. Adele’s 25, Frank Ocean’s Blonde, and Justin Bieber’s Purpose rounded out the rest of the top five of the best-selling albums list.
“One Dance” was another huge hit for Drake and the No. 1 song dominated iTunes. It was followed by Justin Timberlake’s “Can’t Stop the Feeling,” Rihanna’s “Work,” which features Drake, Flo Rida’s “My House,” and Lukas Graham’s “7 Years.”
The list is determined by combining the number of downloads from iTunes with the number of streams on Apple Music, according to AP.
On top of dominating iTunes, Drake’s Views recently scored multiple Grammy nominations including a nod for the honor of Album of the Year. It was also recently certified quadruple platinum, making it the second of Drizzy’s projects to do so with Take Care previously reaching the same milestone. The rapper was also recently named the No. 1 artist on Spotify with “One Dance” becoming the most streamed song in Spotify’s history with over 880 million streams. Not too bad, Drake.
NBA YoungBoy, who now goes by YoungBoy Never Broke Again, has reportedly been charged with attempted first degree murder.
He is currently being held at the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison. A deputy at the prison confirmed to XXL that YoungBoy is being held on $200,000 bond for the attempted murder charge.
The rapper was arrested back in November in Austin and was held without bond after police raided his show. All that was known at the time was that he was being held on an out of state warrant for an undetermined felony. He was then extradited from Austin to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, his hometown and booked on Wednesday.
Earlier this week, his Twitter account sent out a special message to his fans. “I appreciate all my fans for my letters #FREENBAYOUNGBOY,” the post said.
