Chief Keef just can’t seem to get his hologram concert going having it cancelled yet again. Keef has some outstanding warrants in Chicago so he is banned from performing there. The last show in Hammond, Indiana was shut down in just minutes by police and the latest show that was all the way across the country in L.A. has now been cancelled as well. The reasoning for the cancellation was said to be an altercation that happened during rehearsals and the venue shut it all down.
According to the mother of Jayden Vaden, a young boy recently diagnosed with Retinoblastoa, Fetty Wap has deeply inspired her son. An image of Jayden was posted on Instagram by his mother with this caption: “(Warning: long sentimental post ahead) Today I am forever thankful to a young man named Willie Maxwell aka Fetty Wap. While his music is catchy (not always agree with his lyrics but hey who am I to judge…), I’m not necessarily his fan (although Trap Queen is my jam), BUT today I’m his biggest fan. Many close friends, and of course our family know that Jayden was diagnosed with Retinoblastoma at the age of 1. In result of that he had his right eye removed 2 weeks after his 1st bday. He’s worn a prosthetic eye since then. He has always been terrified of taking it out and would not be caught without it…and then comes along Fetty Wap… Similar to Jayden he lost an eye at a young age and along the way he decided that he didn’t want to wear his prosthetic eye anymore, so he stopped. Jayden, let it be known, is a Fetty Wap fan, a real fan, not like me ha! Well, today, after weeks of asking, Jayden is venturing the world without his prosthetic. I of course am a wreck because this world can be cruel, but so proud of our Boogies. This young rapper unknowingly gave Jayden something we weren’t able to give him-the confidence to be different- and I am grateful to him. Thanks to Fetty Wap for saying F the world this is me, and for helping make our baby boy just a little more remarkable than he already is. And we’ll be purchasing his album, a small thank you to him for changing Jayden’s life forever.#oneeyeandawesome #jaydenismyhero #thankyoufettywap @fettywap1738”
While asked a few questions during an interview, Travi$ Scott details the creation of his song “3500”: “I was staying at Kanye’s crib and we just kept playing the album over and over and over. I really woke up and slept every day on this album, man. It starts with ‘3500.’ ‘3500’ was something that was supposed to be on the ‘Ye album. Something I did in Malibu. And that beat sounded completely different. That hook came cause ‘Ye put my verse in the ASR and chopped it up. That was going to be his single, but he was working on his album so long and my album was coming up, so I was like ‘Yo, I wanna fuck with this.'”

Any human being anywhere gonna have a hard time…The thing is it’s very difficult to be the new kid and to be the butt of the jokes and to be just directed with all the direction of the negativity. It came at a time where culturally this nation, which she’s not from here, we were actually looking for a source for somewhere to place our pent-up aggression. And they just kinda got it for no reason…In some cases, it was the easiest place to put some pent-up aggression.”
