The songstress originally dropped “Triggered” back in May before also released a video for the song. While a lot of people took this as a diss song toward her on-again off-again boyfriend Big Sean , Jhené took to Twitter following the track’s release to assure everyone that the feelings she felt on the track are no longer. “triggered” was a moment. a moment that for me has passed. it is new to you because ur just now hearing it, but for me… it's something i moved on from the moment i expressed it. — Chilombo (@JheneAiko) May 8, 2019 Hopefully, this new remix means we’re closer and closer to some more new music from the California native, whose most recent album came out 2 years ago. In the meantime, take a listen to the “Triggered” remix down below:

Source: SOPA Images / Getty Rick Ross Is The Latest Guest To Stop By Joe Budden’s Pull Up Joe Budden is really in his hip-hop journalist bag with his Pull Up series, and most recently, he sat down with none other than Rick Ross to talk about everything under the sun. During the interview, the rappers talk about how many revenue streams you need to be a millionaire, investing in businesses outside of music, the differences in the world of hip-hop today, and so much more. Check out the full interview down below to hear some of the gems dropped by these two throughout their hour-long conversation:
If, for some reason, you were feeling nostalgic for the gangsta rap feuds of the early ’90s — a time when life was cheap in the recording industry, as young artists were struck down with alarming frequency — then you might be getting a kick out the latest twists in the strange saga of Tekashi69. For the rest of us, of course, the whole thing is just sad and horrifying: Back in November Tekashi — whose real name is Daniel Hernandez — was arrested in connection with a list of crimes that would make Al Capone blush. Attempted murder, extortion, soliciting sex from a minor — you name it, Hernandez has been accused of it. Not surprisingly, Mr. 69 was denied bail and is still awaiting trial. Tekashi is still facing life behind bars, but he improved his chances for a dramatically shortened sentence this week when he took the stand to testify against [checks notes] the entire hip hop community! Okay, that may be a bit of an exaggeration, but Tekashi has named a lot of names during his two days of testimony in the trial of Aljermiah “Nuke” Mack and Anthony “Harv” Ellison. Mack and Ellison are alleged members of Hernandez’s former gang, the Nine Trey Bloods. Tekashi linked the pair to numerous crimes in his first day of testimony, but they’re certainly not the only ones he’s implicated. Of course, given what we now know about his strained relationship with the Nine Treys, it’s possible that Hernandez’s snitching is motivated by more than just a reduced sentence. TMZ has obtained dashcam footage that shows Tekashi being kidnapped by members of the gang. The rapper says he was later pistol-whipped by his captors. In his comments about the Nine Treys, Hernandez also identified rapper Jim Jones as a member of the gang. Prosecutors corroborated the claim and played a tape of what they say is a phone conversation in which Jones collaborated with Nine Trey top brass in a scheme to murder Tekashi. “[6ix9ine] was never a gang member. They going to have to violate shorty because shorty is on some bullsh-t,” Jones reportedly remarked. He has not yet commented publicly on the matter. Of course, 69 isn’t just playing the victim here. In today’s testimony, he admitted to putting out a $20,000 hit on rival rapper Chief Keef. When his hired gunman missed the target, Tekashi says, he lowered the price to $10,000. Hey, at least he’s frugal! As has been the case throughout the trial, today’s testimony inspired a number of top-notch memes. It’s true that Tekashi could still wind up serving a decade behind bars. After all, hiring contract killers is not something that prosecutors take lightly. However, it’s also possible that with time served, he could be out in less than a year. Legal experts speculate that the rapper will promptly enter witness protection upon his release. Smart idea — but the rainbow hair and face tattoos might make it difficult for the rapper to blend in rural Arkansas.
Source: Victor Boyko / Getty Another Twenty88 Album Is Reportedly In The Works Big Sean and Jhene Aiko’s relationship is confusing, to say the least. The two have been collaborating on music for years now, but they released their first collaboration album under their name Twenty88 back in 2016. Though rumors were flowing before that, this is the same year they went public with their romantic relationship, as well. Things got so serious that Jhene got Sean’s face tattooed on her, but fans started to suspect that they broke up once she got it covered about a year later in 2018. Their break-up wasn’t confirmed by either of them until more recently, as Jhene released a freestyle about Sean titled, “Triggered” and Sean followed that up with a single aptly titled, “Single Again.” Though this is about as much confirmation as someone needs to know these two are broken up, things got even more confusing once fans realized Jhene was the one singing on her ex’s song about being single. This suggests that the two are still good friends post-break-up and want to put their personal feelings aside to keep their working relationship alive–which Sean seems to have confirmed on Friday. Once again causing some confusion on the status of their rollercoaster of a relationship, the two were seen having lunch together at Il Pastaio in Beverly Hills on September 13. Though they reportedly dined together, they left separately, and paparazzi caught Sean as he was driving away. When The Hollywood Fix asks Sean if another Twenty88 album is coming, the rapper smiles and gives a big nod. See his confirmation of new music with Jhene for yourself:

But found time to team up with Hot 107.9 to pop up on his former high school Lithia Springs High School and surprise the students with a performance. Lithia Springs High students went absolutely crazy when Lil Nas X showed up at their pep rally to show the students love. He then performed a few of his hits, including “Old Town Road,” which shut the gym down!

Source: George Rose / Getty Ladies and gentlemen, it’s officially the end of an era! While many fashionistas loved browsing the racks at Forever 21 , we’re afraid that the retail giant may have to take a loss and file for bankruptcy. What does this mean for fans of the brand you may ask? Many locations may have to close their doors! According to Bloomberg , the company has been working tirelessly to avoid bankruptcy. “The company has been in talks for additional financing and working with a team of advisers to help it restructure its debt, but negotiations with possible lenders have so far stalled,” Bloomberg reports. “Focus has thus shifted toward securing a potential debtor-in-possession loan to take the company into Chapter 11, they said, even as some window remains to strike a last-minute deal that keeps it out of court.” Naturally, a bankruptcy filing would give the retailer a little bit of room to close down underperforming stores and help rebuild the business. However, this move may affect some of the biggest mall management companies. Bloomberg reports that if Forever 21 closes a significant number of stores, landlords such as Simon Property Group and Brookfield Property Partners (two of the largest mall owners in the country) may have trouble filling the vacancies. Most people blame fast fashion brands such as Fashion Nova and Pretty Little Thing for the decline of many stores. Some people also blame the fact that the brand has stolen images of hip hop stars and have even been accused of sending of diet bars with plus size orders as the culprit for its demise. While this all may be true, we can’t deny that consumer shopping habits change like the wind. In order for retail locations to stay ahead of the game, they must provide shoppers with what they need. While there is no word on the retailer closing any of its 800+ locations in Asia, Europe, Latin America and the U.S. at the moment, it hasn’t stopped shoppers from anticipating the inevitable. This move is definitely troubling for business, but Forever 21 shoppers are green with delight! The possibility of stores closing means one thing- closeout sales! In the meantime, Black Twitter has been on one since the news broke. Here are some of the funniest and real reactions: 1. Been walking around in forever 21 leggings with my ass showing through.
