Say What? Lil Yachty Reveals He Wrote “Act Up” For City Girls Except For J.T.’s Last Verse

Source: Other / Radio One Apparently J.T. and Yung Miami ‘s big hit has more “City Boy” influence than originally thought. In an interview with Kerwin Frost, Lil Yachty acknowledged that fans were correct to presume that he had a writing credit on City Girls ‘ latest hit “Act Up”. What did he actually write? In Yachty’s words, he penned almost the entire song while in the studio with his friend and frequent collaborator EarlThePearll . “When it came out, people was so shocked and they didn’t believe it,” he said. “I wrote the whole song, except for J.T.’s last verse. But everything that everyone is singing, I wrote the whole thing.” Yachty is credited with Jatavia “J.T.” Johnson and EarlThePearll who produced the song. City Girls’ other member, Caresha “Yung Miami” Brownlee” does not have a writing credit. Yachty says that Earl asked him to try his hand at writing for City Girls, and he pulled off the feet simply be getting into their mindset.

I know them personally and I know what women like to hear,” he explained. “I was like, ‘What’s some raunchy shit?’ So before I went in the booth, I said, ‘No homo y’all.’ Because all my boys was in the room. And I started saying just crazy shit. But I came out and I was like, ‘Y’all watch, this is about to blow up.’” So every time you hear that catchy “Real ass b****, give a f*** about a n***a,” thank Lil Yachty for it. Ironically enough, it was Yachty’s first time writing for someone else. “I always wanted to write a song for somebody. And I did it, and when it blew up I felt so good,” he said. “Because people always try to discredit me. So when I seen it, I realized now I get my credit a different way.” RELATED: Yung Miami Of City Girls On Touring Without JT, The #ActUpChallenge & More [EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW] RELATED: Watch The Official Trailer For ‘How High 2’ With DC Young Fly And Lil Yachty [VIDEO]

Victim Shot In Nipsey Hussle Murder Arrested For Parole Violation

Source: FayesVision/WENN.com / WENN Kerry Lathan , the man who  Nipsey Hussle  was buying clothes for on the day that beloved rapper was gunned down, has been arrested on a parole violation . Lathan, 56, who was one of the two men who were shot and wounded during the March 31 shooting has been in jail since Monday. One of the terms for most California parolees is that they have no interaction with felons or gang members. Due to Hussle’s affiliation with the Rollin 60’s Crips, it is widely believed that Lathan may have violated his parole that way. Lathan had served 20 years for murder before being released on parole. “Gov. Gavin Newsom should order the immediate release of Kerry. His arrest sends a horrible message to parolees trying to integrate into society and for [corrections] officials to label Hussle, who was a Grammy-nominated artist entrepreneur, gentrification fighter and philanthropist, as a known gang member is a slap in the face to his family and our grieving community,” community activist Najee Ali told  The Los Angeles Times on Friday. RELATED:  Watch Nipsey Hussle’s Celebration Of Life On March 31, Hussle went to The Marathon Store to get some clothes for Lathan so that he would be fresh to see his family and friends for the first time in well over two decades. Then, tragedy struck. Lathan, Hussle and another man were standing outside of The Marathon Clothing store when  Eric Holder approached them. After a brief verbal confrontation between he and Hussle, the two shook hands and Holder left. He then later returned, opening fire, hitting Lathan in the back and shooting Hussle numerous times. Hussle died at an LA area hospital. Holder was arrested on April 2 and has been charged with murder and two counts of attempted murder in the killing. A public memorial service was held Thursday for Hussle at the Staples Center followed by a long procession through the streets of Los Angeles, culminating in a large gathering on the newly minted Nipsey Hussle Square where The Marathon Clothing Store is located. “The Marathon Continues,” was an underlying theme throughout as the streets of South Central L.A. filled with well wishers, fans and more. He was laid to rest in a private ceremony in Hollywood Hills on Friday.
