YG’s latest hit “Fuck Donald Trump” featuring Nipsey Hussle has been getting a lot of attention lately and some of it has not been so good. TMZ actually spoke with YG recently asking if Donald Trump has reached out about the track but he says the secret service has been keeping an eye out for him and looking into the lyrics of his song. “They asked to see the lyrics on my album to see if I’m talking about Trump on my album, because if I’m talking about him on my album they’re going to try and take it off the shelves.” YG said so it looks like people are really taking notice and hopefully it doesn’t ruin YG’s album sales.

Rick Ross pulled a Drake and sent six bottles of Luc Belaire Rose to Charlamagne for him standing up to Birdman in the recent interview. It is well known that Ross has a problem with Birdman even going so far as to call him a “pussy” on his track “Color Money”. Of Course Rick Ross feels this way because Lil Wayne is his friend and he knows that Birdman doesn’t pay his artist allegedly which is why he spoke out about him in the first place.

Desiigner is the latest addition to the G.O.O.D. Music roster and his track “Panda” that gained a ton of popularity thanks to Kanye’s song “Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 2. The track has been charting for six weeks and has now taken the top spot pushing Rihanna’s “Work” down to the number two spot. This hit record has become the only hip-hop song to get the top spot since Wiz Khalifa’s “See You Again” track from last year. So it looks like Desiigner is on the right track but we’ll have to see if he can reach this level again.

Though Kodak Black has been having a little bit of a rough time with the law he has managed to get out on bail. Today he posted a video on his Instagram showing his mother his cover on XXL magazine and she cries tears of joy. It is a very touching video but Kodak has to start staying out of trouble because going to prison just when you hit the spotlight makes your career awfully short just look at Bobby Shmurda.

Birdman is trending all over the internet today but not for reason he would hope but because he stormed out of an interview with The Breakfast Club early morning radio show. The interview only went on for around two minutes and everyone know Charlamagne Tha God is not shy and will get straight to the point with whoever is on the show. It didn’t even get to that point though because Birdman came into the room telling all the host to respect his name. But as soon as the show started up Charlamagne called him out telling all the listeners how Birdman was acting and the final straw was when he asked Birdman why he didn’t pull up like this on Rick Ross or Trick Daddy who were the people originally talking bad about him. This lead to Birdman and all of his “goons” walking out on the interview. Now Birdman did apologize later to DJ Envy and said that he wants to do the show again but Charlamagne and him may still have some problems because this situation is just more ammo.

This story is happening more and more often now days but Action Bronson has been dropped from another college concert. A few weeks back Bronson was dropped from a George Washington University concert and now it is Trinity College who has shunned the rapper. Students signed a petition to stop him from performing signed by students and teachers. This all stems from lyrics that Bronson has that are misogynistic, homophobic, and or transphobic. Now I’m sure Bronson hasn’t put anything like that in any recent music but of course the past will always come back to haunt him.
