• Joyner Lucas Disses Machine Gun Kelly & Lollapalooza, Pulls Out Of Festival

    Joyner Lucas called out Lollapalooza for writing his name in small letters on the festival lineup, pulling out of the gig and dissing headliner Machine Gun Kelly.

    Worcester, Massachusetts-based rapper Joyner Lucas is not happy about the Lollapalooza lineup reveal, despite being booked for the festival. The 33-year-old hip-hop artist called out the festival’s organizers for placing his name in tiny letters on the lineup, claiming that less popular artists got higher billing than him and dissing Machine Gun Kelly, who is one of Lolla’s headliners this year.

    Letting his frustrations out on Twitter, Joyner said, “These festivals is gon stop playing with me like I ain’t that n***a. Putting my name next to the names of a bunch of random n***az that nobody heard of and offering me a weak ass [bag]. Then I say no to the offer and these hoe ass n***az put me on the flier anyways. @lollapalooza.”

    He continued, “N***az is on gon start putting respek on my name. For years I been getting these weak ass offers like I’m some lil n***a. Then n***az who ain’t even on my level or doing my numbers is getting put in BIG LETTERS while they write my sh*t hella small on the flier! How sway?!! I’m the biggest independent artist period with the exception of my n***a tech [N9ne]. And I got the numbers & the fans & the [bag] to back that statement up. How is it that these festivals keep tryna bunch my name up with a bunch of n***az who ain’t on my level?. N***a I’m JOYNER LUCAS.”

    He went on to direct his attention to the festival’s organizers, saying, “All I know is @lollapalooza better take my f*kin name off that flier. I ain’t agree to that lineup and I don’t want that weak ass [bag] n***az tried to give me. Next thing I kno the flier goes out and they gon put my name in some tiny ass letter like i ain’t me. F*ck outta here! Bro hit me up today asking me what time is my set at @lollapalooza. I said huh? went and looked at the flier and had to find a microscope to find my name. Disrespectful. They said i had to get my numbers up to be respected. So I went top 10 billboard independently. Still this.”

    Joyner went on to diss Machine Gun Kelly, who is one of this year’s headliners at the festival, saying, “Then you got this goofy ass n***a headlining? Smh how sway?”

    Fans warned him to be careful with MGK, considering his previous rap beef with Eminem, but Joyner isn’t afraid, answering, “Someone said ‘don’t bring out the rap devil’… maaaaannnn listen. Lol What my brother Marshall did to this n***a @machinegunkelly is light compared to what’s waiting if he wanna walk down that street wit me. Ain’t nobody worried bout a n***a who paints his nails. foh.”

  • Carl Crawford Claims Megan Thee Stallion Is A “Coke Head” In Latest Slander

    Carl Crawford continues to slander Megan Thee Stallion as their legal feud bubbles over to the online space.

    1501 Certified Ent. and their former artist, Megan Thee Stallion, have been feuding since 2020. Megan sued the label for blocking her from releasing music after attempting to renegotiate her contract under Carl Crawford’s 1501 label.

    The most recent news following the situation involves Megan’s latest release, Something For the Hotties. The H-Town hottie planned for it to be the last project she created under the label’s contract, but Crawford refused it, resulting in a countersuit.

    After going back and forth on social media about the incident, Crawford began to make some pretty wild accusations by insinuating that Meg does hardcore drugs.

    In an Instagram live video, he stated, “You better come tell your fans about this coke sh*t before I get to really telling who the coke head around this motherf*cker is.”

    He went on to explain that he has receipts and that it would be easy for him to expose the truth, and he’ll only let it go when he gets back the millions of dollars he spent.

    “You mean to tell me if somebody owed you millions of dollars, you’d let it go,” he asked.

    Despite always standing up for herself, the Texas native has yet to respond to his allegations. Nonetheless, her hotties stood beside her on social media and accused Carl of being a liar.

    Do you believe there is any truth in these rumors? Share your thoughts in the comments.

    Push responded under the Hip-Hop Wolf’s Instagram post, writing, “I trust @cthagod, I think u should too.”

    We’ve received a handful of teasers from Push in the lead-up to his forthcoming project. The rapper shared “Diet Coke” earlier this year which boasts production from Kanye West and 88Keys. Ye and Pharrell Williams will be producing the entirety of this project, as well. No word on feature guests, either, with the exception of Jay-Z.

    No release date has been confirmed but recent rumors surfaced indicating that the album would arrive next month. Pusha T previously hinted at a spring release date a few months ago, so it seems like he’s on pace to release his fourth solo studio album.

    We’ll keep you posted on more info regarding Pusha T’s upcoming project.
