The first Vultures was a relative success. There were some big songs on it like “Carnival,” although most fans could acknowledge that the music just wasn’t where it should have been. Ye was a social pariah by that point, and his production was severely lacking.

The second Vultures album was a complete disaster. There are very few memorable songs on there, if any at all. This is when Ye decided to stop supporting the Vultures series and went back to doing his own thing, which culminated in the release of BULLY.

Throughout all of this, some fans have held out hope for Vultures 3. In fact, during a live stream, Ty Dolla $ign was asked about the album and whether or not it still exists.

Ty Dolla $ign Reassures Fans

In the clip, Ty confirmed that the album is, in fact, going to be dropping. “I got you on the Vultures 3, you know we gon’ do that,” Ty Dolla $ign said.

Whether or not Ye agrees with this assessment of the situation remains to be seen. Ye himself has not confirmed anything, and it just seems unlikely that the Vultures series will continue, despite Ty Dolla’s $ign revelation.

At the end of the day, the ship has sailed. Not to mention, it came during a turbulent time for West. He is trying to apologize and move on from his past. With that in mind, it feels like Vultures is something that can be left in 2024.

Over the weekend, Lil Baby dropped off the remix to his hit single, “Dead Fresh” with a new verse from MrBeast. While it’s already baffling to think that MrBeast is rapping over a Pharrell beat, the two delivered a music video which sees them in the YouTuber’s hometown of Greenville, North Carolina.

The video begins with MrBeast claiming that the “meme is dead” and that he can’t rap, only to launch into a verse shortly after where he flexes on everyone. “Richest rapper on the scene, call me Mr. Lean,” MrBeast raps. “30 million pounds of trash, we got that ocean clean/Take a minute, feel the breeze, it’s 20 million trees,” he continues, in reference to his philanthropic efforts to remove trash from the ocean and plant trees across the planet.

MrBeast & Lil Baby Connect

MrBeast also dives into more grandiose flexes where he talks about giving back to his neighborhood and linking up with Lil Baby. It’s a strange collaboration but not one that is unexpected, especially considering that there was footage and rumors of the two working together over the past little while.

Fans quickly reacted to the video. One fan wrote, “I don’t know why, but this feels racist.” Another questioned if MrBeast did a Feastable spread.

Maybe this won’t be the last time we see MrBeast and Lil Baby collaborate together. We’ll keep you posted on any further updates. Check the video out above and sound off with your thoughts in the comments below.

6ix9ine also bragged about stealing the “Gummo” beat, which Pi’erre Bourne had originally reserved for Trippie. Tekashi is adamant that Trippie wouldn’t have known what to do with the beat. All things considered, that beat changed the trajectory of rap in the late 2010s as 6ix9ine went on to become a huge star until his subsequent RICO case.

Recently, Trippie Redd was on stream with N3on, who was recently parodied in the extended look for GTA 6. In the clip below, N3on asks Trippie Redd which of his popular songs he hates the most. The artist was quick to say “Poles 1469,” a collaboration with 6ix9ine which came out months before their beef.

Trippie Redd Still Hates 6ix9ine

“That song is nothing to me… that’s my worst song… I don’t think my part was bad,” Trippie Redd explained.

At this point, it doesn’t seem like a reconciliation between Trippie Redd and 6ix9ine is going to happen. 6ix9ine is too petty, and Trippie Redd has every reason to not be forgiving about the situation.

In fact, 6ix9ine could probably go the rest of his life without making music again. He has become a streamer and media personality who weighs in on all things snitching-related. Tekashi has always loved the attention, and that is an economy that pays well beyond music.

Throughout the stream, BenDaDonnn could be seen reminiscing about his time at the school. It made for a nice moment, especially as there was a gym full of adoring students looking to welcome him back. The streamer then went on to give a speech, telling the kids that they need to focus on their future. He also told them to believe in themselves and their dreams.

Eventually, Big30 popped out and performed Pooh Shiesty’s big hit, “FDO.” The students were enjoying the performance quite a bit, and even rushed the gym floor as if it were a moshpit. Big30 and BenDaDonnn chanted for Pooh Shiesty’s freedom, with some of the students joining in on the fun.

Big30 Advocates For Pooh Shiesty’s Freedom

If you remember, just a few months ago, Big30 and Pooh Shiesty were arrested for allegedly kidnapping and robbing Gucci Mane. Seven others were arrested alongside them, and now, they are awaiting trial.

Big30 was actually granted pretrial release and is allowed to do these kinds of visits in the meantime. In fact, he is also allowed to record new music. Pooh Shiesty motioned for a similar pretrial release, but was ultimately denied.

Everyone in the case has pleaded not guilty to the charges. A trial is set to go down on February 22, 2027. Given the parties involved, this could very well be the biggest hip-hop-related story of 2027. It’s already proven to be one of the biggest of 2026.

According to TMZ, Jomo Hankerson and Barry Hankerson are back in court, duking it out as Jomo accuses Barry of owing him money from music assets.

 Barry is the owner of Blackground Records, as well as the uncle of Aaliyah and father of Jomo. Per court documents, Barry claims Jomo “failed in his responsibility” to take care of her travel plans, referring to the private plane booked for her flight to the Bahamas for a music video. Jomo is accused of screwing up the initial travel plans. Barry said the crash “may have been avoided had [Jomo] followed through on his compensated task of travel coordination.”

Aaliyah’s Family Lawsuit

Unfortunately, the lawsuit also includes allegations against Barry, too. Jomo said that Barry breached a settlement over masters and publishing copyrights related to music from Timbaland, Aaliyah, DMX, and Toni Braxton. As part of the settlement, Jomo said that he’s owed 12% of Barry’s earnings from music assets. However, he’s now claiming that his dad used his record label to “manufacture expenses that have nothing to do with the music assets, all for the purpose of pressuring [him] into accepting less than what he is owed,” while hiding money. The lawsuit demands $1.2M in damages. 

Firing back, Barry said that he did nothing improper while asserting that the settlement was done under fraud. He simultaneously accused his son of threatening to drop unreleased music from Aaliyah if his demands weren’t met.

Blair Berk, Marilyn Bednarski, and Regina Peter have officially withdrawn as D4vd’s attorneys. They subsequently issued a statement, which was obtained by TMZ. It was here that they revealed the court has already granted their request to withdraw. They also wished D4vd well.

“This morning the court granted our request to withdraw as counsel and appointed the Los Angeles County Public Defender’s Office, after it was determined David qualified for appointed counsel,” the statement reads. “We continue to support David and his defense against these serious charges. We are grateful that the Los Angeles County Public Defender’s Office has taken over the representation and that David has a highly capable and committed team of attorneys and investigators behind him.”

D4vd Loses His Attorneys

In the aftermath of this move, D4vd has been appointed a public defender by the Los Angeles County Public Defender’s Office. As TMZ reports, D4vd is indigent, which means he lacks the funds to retain his own counsel. Instead, he has no choice but to use a lawyer appointed by the state.

D4vd has pleaded not guilty to the murder of Celeste Rivas Hernandez. His next hearing will be taking place on October 19, which means he has a month and a half in jail before he is back in the courtroom.

An official date for D4vd’s trial has not been revealed, and at this time, it is unclear if the change in lawyers will affect that.

In addition, they report that he’ll have to surrender his rights to the gun that was uncovered during his arrest. Frankly, it seems like a pretty decent deal overall, as court records indicate that the conviction will be scrubbed clean as long as he completes his sentence without any incidents or violations. 

The arrest occurred during a critical time in his career–just as he was scheduled for an album release party. He was pulled over in Dallas after police noticed his vehicle didn’t have a front license plate. However, once they began searching the car, he informed the police that there was a firearm in the vehicle, though the criminal database said that he had affiliations with gangs in Arlington. That alone became an issue since he isn’t legally allowed to possess a gun.

BigXThaPlug’s Legal Troubles

Unfortunately for BigXThaPlug, he still has other legal issues to tend to. Last week, he was arrested in Texas after a stop in Allen when he was booked on charges of driving while intoxicated, possession of marijuana, and illegal possession of a firearm. He was released after being held in Collin County Jail and was later seen performing at the Iowa State Fair the following day. 

We will keep you up to speed on any further updates surrounding BigXThaPlug’s legal troubles.

Instead, Ye is a social pariah. While he has apologized for his Nazism, this hasn’t been enough for the majority of his fans to get back on board with him. The OG Ye fans are largely gone and are never coming back. Meanwhile, the artist’s current fanbase is comprised of white frat boys who watch Sneako streams in their mom’s basement.

Artistically, Ye’s Nazism has been on display in songs like “HH.” However, there is at least one Billboard-topping hit from the 2020s that plays into Ye’s worst political instincts. That song is, of course, “Carnival.” This song features Ty Dolla $ign, Playboi Carti, and Rich The Kid. It also features loud chants from soccer ultras, as well as bars about Jewish schools, Diddy, R Kelly, and Bill Cosby.

It’s been a long time since this song was embedded in the cultural zeitgeist. Over the weekend, debates around the song returned as Twitter user @serpentpose claimed “Carnival is actually the most fascist rap song of all time.”

Kanye West’s Last Big Hit Sparks A Debate

This was certainly a head-turning take that is honestly quite hard to argue with. The tweet eventually went viral, with hundreds of music listeners weighing in to debate whether or not this assertion is actually true.

Some suggested that the real answer is “HH,” although that is not a song that was nominated for a Grammy like “Carnival.” Furthermore, the fascism in that song is explicit and almost inauthentic in a way, while “Carnival’s” is based more on the aesthetics.

Twitter Reacts

“When Kanye explicitly talked about Nazism and Hitler, it was atrocious, sure, but it was also just like ragebait without any weight beyond its literal meaning. Carnival is aesthetically fascist,” one user wrote. “The entire Vultures era is evil. Just an astonishing low for an artist to sink to and a complete abandonment of all principles. It’s kinda like the anti Jesus is king where instead of virtue signaling he just promises to get worse,” said another.

Needless to say, “Carnival” has not held up well over the years and this debate proves it.
