With that being said, Blue has been on a bit of a media tour as of late, and during this tour, he has been brutally honest about how he feels regarding Chrisean Rock. For instance, he said that she is the type of person to set you up to get robbed. Furthermore, he made the claim that Chrisean Jr. is not actually his child.

Last night, Chrisean made it a point to find Blue. The artist is currently on tour, and Chrisean was seen getting up on stage before searching for him backstage. Eventually, the two reunited, and it was all caught on live-stream cameras.

In the end, Blueface and Chrisean Rock were able to have a civilized conversation about things. In the video, Blueface commended Chrisean for looking towards the church and trying to change her life around. It was a far cry from the rhetoric he had espoused during an interview with Jason Lee.

Whether or not these two will ever completely see eye-to-eye remains to be seen. At the end of the day, their relationship was one of toxicity and chaos. They are both doing their own thing right now, and it would be a shock for something to be rekindled.

Whatever the case may be, it is good to see two individuals letting bygones be bygones.

From there, things got even weirder as the music videos for “Not Like Us” and “luther” were taken off of YouTube. This led to numerous questions about Kendrick Lamar’s stance on these bodies of work and whether or not he was recanting his claims against Drake.

Given the fact that ICEMAN is dropping later this week, the timing has proven to be bizarre, to say the least. DJ Akademiks remarked this on social media soon after the deletions went viral online.

This led to a sarcastic response from the commentator, who made the claim that Kendrick is deleting his disses so that he can be on ICEMAN. Ak went so far as to say that Lamar is excited for the album and is tired of being a hater.

DJ Akademiks Has Been Paying Attention

As it turns out, that is not at all the case. We know this because just moments ago, “Not Like Us” and “luther” were re-uploaded to YouTube. All the views have been erased, meaning each song now has to start from scratch. Meanwhile, “Euphoria” has found its way back to Apple Music.

GNX has yet to make its return to Apple Music; however, the album is still available on platforms such as Spotify.

Kendrick Lamar Re-Uploads “Not Like Us & “Luther” Videos

There are going to be some conspiracy theories, looking for the reasons why this happened. At this time, there is simply no explanation why Kendrick Lamar or his label would delete these songs and projects. It’s a mystery, and we’re sure there will be some answers in due time.

Until then, fans are going to speculate and craft their own reasoning, for better or for worse.

From there, the artist found herself wrapped up in Diddy’s legal case. At the time, the two were a couple, and the artist was asked numerous uncomfortable questions about the nature of their relationship. To this day, it remains unknown where she stands with Puff and what awaits the music mogul when he is released from prison.

More recently, Yung Miami has been trying to work her way back into the music industry. She has released a couple of singles and has even appeared on a remix or two. However, she is not getting the same industry push she was used to five years ago.

While speaking to Nessa on Hot97, Yung Miami got brutally honest about the switch-up from the music industry and how it has impacted her.

Based on her reaction to the question, it is clear that the industry’s change of heart has left her feeling ostracized. “Everybody pushed me out — left me for dead,” Yung Miami explained.

While working on her new album, Yung Miami admitted to emotional moments that brought her to tears. Ultimately, this entire process has been quite the jump for her. She is putting herself out there and trying to accomplish something she has never done before. It can be a scary task for any artist, and Yung Miami is no exception.

It is going to be fascinating to see what Yung Miami is able to pull off next. This is a big moment for her career, and the fans are looking forward to what’s next.

Due to a lack of talent, Hinchcliffe has had to rely on an annoying brand of edgelord-ism. The only way he gets attention is by being as offensive and as inflammatory as possible. It’s why his Madison Square Garden set became such a talking point amid Donald Trump’s Presidential Election campaign.

As a direct result of Hinchcliffe’s proximity to people like Joe Rogan, he gets invited to all of the big comedy events. Kevin Hart’s roast was no exception. Not long into Hinchcliffe’s set, he made a disgusting joke about the death of George Floyd.

“The Black community is so proud of you… right now George Floyd is looking up at us all laughing so hard he can’t breathe,” Hinchcliffe said.

Quite frankly, none of this is very surprising. Hinchcliffe is the type of comedian to make a joke like this. However, the fact that he was even invited to The Roast of Kevin Hart is what is leaving some fans disappointed. On X, Kevin Hart was heavily criticized for numerous reasons. Firstly, fans felt as though he fostered an environment in which white supremacy was tolerated. Secondly, he laughed at Hinchcliffe’s George Floyd joke, which rubbed many the wrong way.

Fans Are Upset With Kevin Hart

Below, you can find some of the critical tweets regarding Kevin Hart and his roast. Hart’s laughter has proven to be a big problem for many of the folks who tuned in, and it is easy to see why that would be the case. At the end of the day, no good was ever going to come from Hinchcliffe’s inclusion in the proceedings.

Elsewhere in the broadcast, Hart mended his relationship with Katt Williams. This was seen as the most wholesome section of the show. Although that did not stop Williams from cracking jokes, regardless.

According to Kurrco, it was discovered today that Kendrick Lamar’s GNX was no longer on Apple Music. If you go to the platform, it will tell you the album is not available. You simply cannot find it. Google links to the album on Apple Music bring up errors.

As for his diss track, “Euphoria,” that appears to be gone too. Interestingly enough, songs like “Not Like Us” and “Meet The Grahams” are still available. This has led to some confusion from fans, especially when you consider how GNX and “Euphoria” remain on Spotify.

GNX & “Euphoria” Leave Apple Music

One has to wonder why this is happening today. After all, the rest of Kendrick Lamar’s discography is on Apple Music. Had GNX and “Euphoria” been removed from Spotify, then there would certainly be a pattern worth following. However, this entire ordeal makes us wonder what may have happened.

It could be a glitch, or it could be deliberate. It could have been Lamar’s team who did it, or it could have been a hacker. At this stage, the possibilities are practically endless.

The timing is also incredibly peculiar when you factor in the fact that Drake is going to be dropping ICEMAN later this week. It is the kind of timing that will inspire all sorts of conspiracy theories. Of course, if the album and track return to Apple Music in fast fashion, then this will have all been for naught.

UPDATE: The music videos for “Not Like Us” and “luther” have also been deleted from YouTube.

FINAL UPDATE: In addition to re-uploads of “Not Like Us” and “luther” on YouTube, GNX and “Euphoria” have been added back to Apple Music.

According to The Jasmine Brand, DDG went off after news broke about the collab. Audemars Piguet is teaming up with Swatch on a drop landing May 16th. The watches are expected to retail between $300 and $500. DDG owns an AP worth around $200,000, and he has now threatened to sell it.

His reasoning is simple: the exclusivity is the whole point. When a $200K watch brand makes a $400 version, the original loses something. DDG put it plainly on X: “That’s like buying a Ferrari and they collab with Honda and make a Ferrari Civic for $30k.”

It’s a fair analogy. It’s also the same conversation that comes up in sneakers constantly. When a brand opens up access to something rare, the people who paid full price feel it most. That tension between accessibility and exclusivity never really gets resolved.

DDG later softened slightly, writing “my bad for pissing y’all off! get ya AP!” But the initial reaction was real. A lot of people in the luxury space shared the sentiment they just didn’t say it out loud.

Overall, the collaboration is still set to drop on May 16th and is still generating lots of excitement, even if there is some criticism as well.

DDG’s Take on the AP x Swatch Collab

The AP x Swatch collab follows a blueprint Swatch has used before. The most famous example is the MoonSwatch, a collaboration with Omega that launched in 2022.

Lines wrapped around stores globally. Pairs flipped for multiples on resale. The watch world had a legitimate cultural moment.

The MoonSwatch made Omega feel accessible without diluting the core product. Whether AP x Swatch lands the same way remains to be seen.

But DDG’s reaction reflects a real tension in luxury culture. The people who paid for exclusivity don’t always want the brand letting everyone else in. That’s not unique to watches, it happens in sneakers too.

It’s not a terrible strategy to employ. After all, fans love surprises. They love being sent on a wild goose chase. The ICEMAN sculpture in Toronto was a perfect example, as fans went out of their way to melt the structure in hopes of figuring out the release date.

With four days to go until the release of the album, the hype for ICEMAN has never been higher. It is becoming more difficult for Drake to conceal elements of his project. For instance, Charlamagne Tha God went on The Breakfast Club this morning and leaked that A$AP Rocky and DJ Khaled are on the receiving end of some “direct shots.”

Now, Twitter leaker @thesourcemzk is claiming that Drake will feature Future, Molly Santana, and Karol G on his album. Presumably, there are a lot more features to come, although these are the three that are circulating online.

Insider Drops Some Alleged Drake Features

Future has been rumored to be on ICEMAN for months. However, fans weren’t sure if they should believe the rumor. After all, Future was a huge catalyst for the Drake and Kendrick beef in 2024. “Like That” was featured on We Don’t Trust You, a collaborative album with Metro Boomin.

Meanwhile, Karol G is an artist who would help Drake break into the Reggaeton sound. As for Molly Santana, she is a phenomenal underground artist who some compare to the likes of Playboi Carti.

These are three very different artists, and if the insider is correct, we will be interested to see what kind of songs they are featured on. For now, this small sample size has created some intrigue, and there is no denying that fans would love to know who else made the album.

Wallace filed a lawsuit against Hay last year on claims of defamation surrounding public comments Hay made in interviews. The defamatory accusations included Hay alleging that Wallace and Diddy engaged in “sexual relations,” that Wallace set up Hay to be assaulted by Diddy, and that the son of Biggie Smalls was also involved in the alleged criminal behavior that took place at the “freak-offs.”

Ultimately, Wallace emerged victorious because of a default judgment. According to the report, Wallace tried to serve the defamation lawsuit to Hay seventeen times across two addresses in Florida. When those proved to be unsuccessful, Hay failed to respond to a substitute service.

Even though Wallace was cleared in this lawsuit, he still faces a separate sexual assault complaint alongside Diddy, where Hay mentions similar allegations that he’s made in interviews. That suit is ongoing and was filed in the Los Angeles Superior Court.

CJ Wallace Wins Default Judgment

One major factor in Wallace’s defamation lawsuit was that he accused Hay’s comments of coming after a remix project for Biggie that didn’t yield much result. The two worked together on the single “Ready To Dance” in 2020. However, the project ultimately fell apart, and many of the songs never came out because of conflicts, including Hay’s alleged “erratic behavior.” Wallace claims that the lawsuit was part of a “calculated smear campaign” because the project failed to materialize.

Quotable Lyrics from I Will

Double cup filled up I’m missing a tech, go live on a Wednesday
You got a friend and I got a twin, girl go see what your friends say
She a 10 we fuck off the perk 10’s, let’s see what them drugs do
Put ya neckand ya wrist on a hundred bands, shit I’d be in love too

Ultimately, it is a friendship that has endured. Throughout the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef, the former lost out on his friendship with LeBron James. James was at Lamar’s “Pop Out,” and he had also rapped along to “Not Like Us” on more than one occasion. However, Durant has remained steadfast in his support of the ICEMAN artist.

Of course, ICEMAN is dropping later this week, on May 15. Fans are extremely excited about this new album, and Durant’s personal jubilation is palpable. In fact, on social media, KD couldn’t help but poke a little bit of fun at none other than Joe Budden while hyping up the album.

Kevin Durant Is Excited For ICEMAN

In the Instagram story depicted above, you can see a frame of Joe Budden from his infamous altercation with a group of young Drake fans. Budden chased the kids down with a rock in his hand. In this photo, Budden can be seen holding a big block of ice instead. The caption on the story simply says, “Ice week.”

For fans of Drake, this is an album two-and-a-half years in the making. This is the amount of time that has passed since the release of the artist’s last solo album, For All The Dogs. Furthermore, this is the artist’s first solo project since his beef with Kendrick Lamar. Having said that, there is a ton of pressure on Drake to perform with this project.

There is this hope that Drizzy can catch a few hits and find himself back on top of the Billboard charts. It is a tough road to climb, given everything that has happened over the past couple of years. That said, if one thing is for certain, it is that ICEMAN will dominate discourse.
