According to XXL, Jimmy Duval is suing XXXTentacion’s estate for $1 million, asking for unpaid royalties from the song that boosted X’s career. While he is technically asking for $1 million, the amount is negotiable according to the producer. He intended to keep this a private matter but, since he was left off of the credits for the song, he felt a need to come forward. Duval issued a statement, which you can read below.

“It was my intention to keep the pending matter involving the estate of the late XXX Tentacion a private matter. However, in lieu of recent developments and out of respect for someone who was truly a legend in his own right and someone I called my friend, it is imperative that I clear things up. It is important to note that as the producer behind “Look at me”, an inarguable platinum hit, I was removed from all credits, which in turn meant that all rights and royalties owed to me, were immediately averted. It goes without saying that everyone deserves credit for their contributing works. My friend is no longer with us and Im only asking to remain a part of the legacy that we created together with “Look at me”. X changed my life and the lives of many others and we want to continue widening the positive impact that our music creates. I would never under any circumstances disrespect X or his legacy. Im only asking for what is rightful and fair.”

Shortly after the lawsuit was made public, DJ Scheme took to Twitter to call out the producer. “Jimmy Duval is a fucking pussy for this…” wrote X’s DJ.

“To my REAL fans I love you to death,” began the Texan. “To the people trying to dig so fucking hard to try and get me to leave my girl, y’all ain’t real fans and it needs to stop. The past is the past and it has nothing to do with anything. Have some respect. who gives a fuck? let us live our lives.” Obviously, if you’re unfamiliar with Posty’s personal life (as many of us are) then the previous statement is confusing. Thanks to XXL, we know that people managed to find old photos that Post’s girlfriend used to post on Instagram and those same shots were reposted after she deactivated her account. The acts that fans have taken are shameful and can be considered bullying, so Malone felt a need to speak up.

It seems like Post and his girl are working through it, though it may be an emotional time for them.

“The marvel of HBA is that we never really had a backer backer. We always did it on our own … It was an insane ride and we felt like we wanted to elevate to the next level. Then we began a partnership with New Guards Group in Italy, and that was only a temporary situation. After [Fall 2016], we kinda had to come back to be on our own. That was when the question came up: “Why am I doing this?””

Kanye also complemented Oliver by saying that he feels as though Hood By Air helped to elevate streetwear. Oliver was pretty modest when hit with the praise as he explained that streetwear is something that anybody can be a part of no matter what walk of life.

“I think that opens streetwear up to a larger market of people, because the culture it comes from is very insular. It’s weird because they say that about fashion people, but it’s the same thing within the streetwear world, you know what I mean? When I see streetwear, I see silhouettes. Some people tend to be more intuitive about it, like the people that I grew up with from inner-city backgrounds, but in the larger discussion about luxury, streetwear is already in the merchandising plan.”

Rich The Kid’s new project The World Is Yours 2 is set to arrive on March 22nd, 2019. The rapper made the announcement via Spotify Canvas, which, as Complexpointed out, makes him the first mainstream rapper to make use of the Spotify tool. The release date for The World Is Yours 2 comes a few days short of the one year anniversary of his major label debut, The World Is Yours.

Rich The Kid kicked off the campaign for his new album in December when he released the song, “Splashin” which is presumably the first single off of the project. Over the course of 2018 following the release of The World Is Yours, the rapper released a ton of one-off singles such as “Leave Me” and “Nasty.”

Earlier this year, the tracklist to the project was posted to Migos Twitter before being quickly taken down. The tracklist featured the newly-released, “4 Phones” as well as “Splashin.”

Keep your eyes peeled for Rich The Kid’s The World Is Yours 2 dropping next month.

Apparently, the family has “declared war” on Tristan Thompson for hooking up with Jordyn while they’ve urged Kylie to cut ties with her best friend. She’s agreed but everyone thinks she’s truly indecisive of her decision because of her tightknit relationship with Jordyn.

While Travis Scott might be appreciating the tour life now more than ever, he has been trying to hold does his lady throughout it all and lending her an ear whenever she needs someone to listen. However, he doesn’t really have any sides to choose from so ultimately, he’s going along with whatever Kylie’s decision is.

While he’s been distancing himself from the Kardashians in California, he was recently honored with the key to the city of Houston, Texas earlier this month. The mayor of the city presented the key to Scott on stage and revealed that they’ll be building a new amusement park due to the enthusiasm he brought with Astroworld.

“We owe so much to this guy for keeping Houston on the map,” the Mayor said about Travis. “With ‘Astroworld,’ man, and those of us that remember Astroworld, and because of him, we’re gonna bring another amusement theme park back to the city. This city loves you.”

“Yeah, I’m working on it now,” Biggs told Revolt TV. “It’ll probably be separate stories of Jay, Damon [Dash] and myself. Showing us as kids to understand what we’ve went through — the pain and hardships.”

As he opined himself, Biggs has already laid out the storytelling framework, with three separate converging narratives, elucidating the come-up story of the three founding fathers of the ROC, himself included. In the Revolt interview, Biggs spoke about his struggles living in homeless shelters before the hitting pay dirt with the formidable three. He also hopes to gain a clearance that would allow him to retell Jay-Z’s early struggles of losing his father at the age of four and the similarly tragic circumstances that plagued a teenage Dame Dash.

Offset also reveals that Ric Flair personally called him, informing him that “Ric Flair Drip” was to be the official anthem of the Flair wedding. “I’m like he seriously finna walk his marriage listening to a rap song, usually it’s like a love song. When I seen his walk, he was lit, he was happy. He told me it was one of the best things to ever happen to him. He was going through a little health issue, he was like, it just gave him more drive. It was inspirational. Ric Flair was the first one with these rolexes and these jets.”

He also opens up about revealing some of the nontraditional elements of a trapper’s life, including the more vulnerable moments. “It’s okay to show a vulnerable side as a man. It’s really a great thing to do as a man, cause most men run from it,” says Offset. “I feel like you a stronger man by doing it. Instead of holding back, you just holding back your feelings, and that’s not true. We all got feelings, I don’t care how tough you supposed to be.”
