Recently, Rihanna was at a Fenty Beauty event. It was here that she was asked how many songs she is sitting on. The artist actually gave a pretty honest answer, with a ballpark of roughly 170 songs.

“If there are 10 products [in the Gloss Bomb Vault] then I have at least 17 Vaults,” Rihanna said. The “at least” suggests that there could be a lot more than 170, although at this point, who’s counting?

It’s a large number, and overall, it proves that Rihanna has been making music over these past 10 years. While some fans are curious about her desire to release new music, there is no denying that the creative edge is still there.

Rihanna On Unreleased Music

Throughout these past 10 years, Rihanna has been focused on different endeavors. She is heavily involved in her Fenty Beauty business. Moreover, she has been raising her family with A$AP Rocky.

Ultimately, she just hasn’t had the itch to drop a new album. Even with all of the anticipation, there hasn’t been a single moment when an album actually felt close to happening. While that is unfortunate, fans are simply being asked to respect the decision.

There is still a possibility that Rihanna drops new music in the future. However, don’t expect R9 to be released anytime soon. Instead, you will have to continue exercising patience.

As a result, they will have to upgrade the venues to accommodate the demand. 

“NY was INSANEEE … We now have to upgrade all cities to bigger venues. LA just upgraded to a larger venue , & put new tickets on sale in the bio,” a post on Tory Lanez’s Instagram page reads. “For Pittsburgh and New Orleans, tickets are being refunded until new dates and bigger venues are secured.”

The tour has consisted of listening parties, DJ sets, and guest appearances. In New York, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, Bobby Shmurda, N3on, A$AP Ferg, and Pressa were all in attendance. With his upcoming events in Los Angeles, DC, New Orleans, and Pittsburgh, he’s bound to have several more guests pop up on stage.

However, this series of events hasn’t gone down without backlash. Many fans have expressed their condemnation of these live events due to the nature of Tory Lanez’s conviction. It ultimately became a topic of debate on a recent episode of The Joe Budden Podcast, where co-hosts Marc Lamont Hill and Mona said that they couldn’t support the initiative because of the case. However, QueenzFlip argued otherwise, stating that Tory is innocent and pointing to specific evidence that he believes points to the Canadian rapper’s innocence.

The “Not On ‘Tor,’ Tour” continues in Los Angeles on October 15th at Catch One. From there, it will head to Washington, DC’s Culture on October 22nd.

Evidently, the public comment brought forth a strong co-sign from 50 Cent, whose issues with Lil Meech and his father, Big Meech, are well-documented.

“No lies detected Meme was throwing up at weapons test because he was high. Spent all his money pretending to be his dad off camera, and kept getting in trouble im bailing him out of jail to get him on set to shoot, and snitching on his friends,” 50 Cent wrote.

50 Cent Co-Signs Da’Vinchi’s Comments On Big Meech

During the interview, Da’Vinchi said that the show likely would have continued had it not been for Lil Meech’s behavior off set.

“I think that Curtis Jackson’s biggest thing was that it was really hard to contain Demetrius Flennory Jr.,” he said, adding that he has nothing but love for his former co-star. “You was like a private school kid, went to college, figuring life out, and now, your life just blew up. I don’t know what that’s like, and I can not sit here and say if I was in a situation, I would have done better.”

BMF had a strong four-season run, though the rumors about its run were plagued by external factors, it seems. Lil Meech’s off-set controversies and public feud with 50 Cent, which became an extension of his father’s issues with Fif, appeared to contribute to the issue. However, Deadline previously reported that 50’s feud with Big Meech wasn’t the reason for the cancellation, though it did create unease among the cast and crew about how long the show would go on. At the time, they suggested that Starz’s CEO planned to save money on content by creating new shows rather than sustaining their current roster of series since they become more expensive over time.

“We have a whole bunch of unreleased material. I go through stuff from 2014 and 2015, like… really unheard stuff,” Wayne revealed. When asked if there’s a possibility of an official release, Wayne sounded hopeful. “I edit stuff up and just send it to his phone so he can hear the new versions of it and get him going.”

Apparently, Drake constantly responds enthusiastically, asking when they plan on releasing it. Hopefully, the two can lock in some time to actually make these records see the light of day.

Lil Wayne & Drake Collaborations

It’s, unfortunately, been a minute since the two of them have been on the same track together. The last time was on Certified Lover Boy’s “You Only Live Twice” in 2021. They also appeared on Nicki Minaj’s “Seeing Green” that same year.

The talks of a collaborative album aren’t new by any means. Back in 2011, Drake confirmed that they scrapped plans to drop a project together due to the success of Watch The Throne. However, roughly eight years later, Wayne suggested that the idea could be back on the table during an interview with Vibe.

“We’re both doing what we do, but he already know,” Wayne said of the possibility of a joint mixtape. “We still text and send songs here and there, change a verse because he killed me or change a verse ‘cuz I killed him. It’s still the same competition.”

Evidently, the process hasn’t changed much, but fans could only hope that we’ll at least get a new song from them in the near future.

Steel has consistently advocated for the rights of the accused. He has also called out the system for being racist and biased against black men in rap. While speaking to T.I. on his expediTIously podcast, Steel explained just how much he hates the discussion behind using rap lyrics in trials. In his view, rap lyrics are protected speech, and don’t belong in a prosecutor’s wheelhouse.

“The prosecutors don’t take William Shakespeare’s words as reality,” Steel said. “The prosecutors don’t take Stephen King. The prosecutors don’t use opera or country music or hard rock and roll, but they use rap. It’s discrimination.”

Brian Steel Chats With T.I.

Steel then went on to say that even tattoos are being used in court. He finds that to be absolutely abhorrent, as once again, it should fall under freedom of expression.

“People have a right to say what they want in their lyrics and people have the right to walk around with tattoos on their face if that’s what they want,” Steel added.

The fight to keep rap lyrics out of the courtroom has been a prominent one over the last decade or so. However, with a lack of legislation around this, lyrics will continue to be brought up. It’s an unfortunate situation for the artists, who are now under the microscope more than ever before.

Lawyers like Steel are fighting the good fight and advocating for the First Amendment.

On the very first day of the trial, he accused Durk of being a snitch. Subsequently, he would get pressed outside the courtroom. Although he stood his ground, the increased security presence around him proved that he was feeling uncomfortable.

In livestreams with Ceddy Nash, Trap Lore Ross made it clear that he felt as though Durk would lose. In the end, Durk came out victorious, and Ross had some egg on his face.

Now, Durk is set for a VICAR trial in August of 2027. During an interview on Tony Yayo and Uncle Murda’s The Real Report, Trap Lore Ross was asked about this trial, and whether or not he wants Durk to come home.

Trap Lore Ross Pressed About Lil Durk

The content creator refused to give a solid answer, and it had Uncle Murda and Tony Yayo visibly annoyed. Ross refused to say whether or not he wanted Durk home. Instead, he claimed that he just wants the trial to be fair, and that he will accept the results no matter what. “I don’t care either way… I just want a fair trial,” Ross said.

Some may see this as Trap Lore Ross attempting to hedge his bets. Although some could read between the lines and say that he is hoping for a conviction.

Either way, it’s going to be a year before we see Ross back covering the trial in person, as that August 30 date is far away.

Despite all of this, Quavo appears confident in his art. In a recent social media post on X, the artist wrote “Yall got me fkd up watch dis!” Clearly, it seems as though the artist has heard the noise and wants fans to know that new music is, indeed, on the horizon.

Quavo Wants Fans To Watch His Next Move

Unfortunately, some fans simply are not buying what the artist is selling right now. For instance, a Quavo stan account replied to the tweet, saying “DROP SATCHAMO ALBUM FROM 2024-2025! QROMELIFE SUCKED!”

This subsequently led to a swift response from Quavo, who said “QRÖMELIFE IS 1 CHAPTER INTO Book of QRÖME. U KNOW WHAT CHAPTER IS GANG CHILLLL TF OUTTT!!! Be ready to receive.”

Quavo is going to have a busy next few months as he prepares for his album with Takeoff, his Migos reunion project, and Takeoff’s posthumous solo album. These projects will require lots of time and effort, and there is quite a bit of anticipation surrounding them.

Of course, the Migos reunion is what fans are most curious about. Hearing Quavo, Offset, and Takeoff on a record again is going to bring about lots of nostalgia. That said, there are certain expectations that come with that, and fans don’t want to be left disappointed.

Let us know your thoughts on QROMELIFE, in the comments. Do you believe it is as bad as some on the internet are saying?
