WENN Young Thug Is In The Studio, And His Next Project Could Be ‘Barter 7’ One of Young Thug’s most frequent producers Wheezy posted a photo on Instagram this weekend with Thug adorned with the caption, “BARTER 7.” He just released his latest project ‘Beautiful Thugger Girls’ a few weeks ago, but it seems Jeffrey is already back to work on his next mixtape. The prelude to this supposed next project, ‘Barter 6’ was released in 2015 and followed an extremely controversial release. The initial title was ‘Carter 6,’ because Thugger wanted to release that before Lil Wayne had the chance to release his highly-anticipated ‘Tha Carter V.’ Due to threats of legal action, Thug swiftly swapped the C for a B, and there you have ‘Barter 6.’ This isn’t the last time Jeffrey would anger others with his album titles, either–for his last album release, he dropped the “easy breezy” from ‘Beautiful Thugger Girls’ due to complaints from CoverGirl. Because it’s only been a month since we last got music from the self-proclaimed New Tupac, if ‘Barter 7’ is really happening it’s most likely in the beginning stages. Many of Thug’s diehard fans and general music lovers alike consider ‘Barter 6’ to be a new-age classic, so the follow-up is undoubtedly highly anticipated. Thugger said before that he was “paying homage” and since Lil Wayne had already done Carter 1-5, he would continue with Carter (well, Barter) 6-10, and it looks like he’s actually keeping that promise. He’s known to crank out music pretty quickly, so hopefully we can expect this next project before the end of the year.

Mashonda And Alicia Keys Club Together In Germany The side-chick saga that led to Swizz Beats’ divorce from Mashonda and marriage to Alicia Keys is beyond water under the bridge at this point. So much so, in fact, that Mashonda and Alicia’s relationship goes well beyond cordial and mature into an all-out firendship at this point. Alicia and Mashonda have both gone on record to praise their blended family preciousness and talk about how they were all able to mature to get things working functionally for the kids…but we’ve never seen these two just chilling one-on-one without any of the boys or Swizz around. But, as both ladies were in Berlin last night for Swizz’s “No Comission” Art Event , the two decided to hit a spot together and rock out to Kendrick Lamar. Welp good for them! We definitely don’t want to tell all the adulterers out there that they’re on the right track…but things certainly worked out swimmingly for this trio. Unless Mashonda is on some secret mission to get close enough to Alicia to end her life and not be implicated…but it LOOKS like everyone is cool. Ladies, if you lost your marriage this way, do you think you could kick it in VIP with your ex-husband’s lover-turned-new wife years on down the road? WENN/Splash/Instagram
Kylie Jenner’s reality TV series might be going the way of Rob & Chyna. By that, we mean it’s probably going to be a steaming pile of garbage that still manages to pull in solid ratings. Life of Kylie has been in production for a while now, but apparently, insiders of the show are furious with the way the 19-year-old has been acting . Hey, it’s not like anyone ever compliments a Kardashian for the way they act. We’re convinced Kris Jenner holds weekly classes with her brood to make sure they know what their plan is to stay in the headlines for the week. With Kris resorting to promoting healthy tea products on social media, the family must be in dire straits. If you watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians online , you will already know that Kylie Jenner is one of those teenagers who gets everything she wants. That’s sort of what happens when you are brought up in front of reality TV cameras and you have a life that most would kill for. As sad and pathetic as it sounds, Kylie’s blatant attempts to get in the headlines are probably brought on by her desire to be the biggest celebrity in the family. Just like her brother, Rob Kardashian did during the production of his own series, Kylie has allegedly been holding up the shooting of Life of Kylie and has even been skipping out on production some days. Jenner “refuses to go into the studio and do her pickups,” a source close to production revealed to Radar. We always hear things about the Kardashians being difficult people, and we’ll be taking these claims with a pinch of salt. There’s no confirmation of it. “It is like Kylie doesn’t even care, she just ignores any schedule that dictates when she is supposed to be in the studio.” Being in production, it takes a lot to set filming days up, so you can only imagine the looks of disgust Kylie must be getting if this is, indeed, how she’s been acting. “Kylie just doesn’t show up when she is needed, and no one knows that she isn’t coming,” the source continued. That’s totally uncool, and it won’t be doing much for the morale on set. Maybe Kylie is worried about the show being a failure and is having second thoughts about sticking with it. It’s not exactly the best time to launch a new iteration of the series when you consider just how terrible the parent series is performing in the ratings. “Kylie is upset at how the show is turning out, and she is running out of content. She does not want to give too much away … but the footage just seems boring and basic to her!” Keeping aspects of her life hidden from the series is not going to do much to make it a success. Viewers will be able to pick up on Kylie keeping quiet about things. “She’s totally spoiled and doesn’t care about anything. It’s unprofessional,” the report concluded. Something tells us the Kardashian family will be blacklisted by E! if they are really skipping out on filming. What’s the point of signing up for a TV show to bail on filming at the drop of a hat? There’s also the possibility Jenner is too busy too filming because she’s trying to find a way to deflect the latest scandals that rock her young life. The series is set to debut this month. If you like watching someone showing lots of cleavage and a side dose of sass, you will love it. If not, then you can make it watchable by taking a drink of vodka every single time she takes a selfie. Yawn. View Slideshow: Kylie Jenner Channels Barbie in RACY New Photo Shoot!
Young Thug Donates Money From Performance To Planned Parenthood Young Thug cares about the reproductive rights of all the Easy Breezy Beautiful Thugger Girls out there. So much so, that he gave all the profits from his show in NYC to make sure that stuggling reproductive healthcare provider Planned Parenthood had a little extra funding. Thug announced on his Twitter that 100% of the proceeds from his Thursday night concert at Terminal 5 in New York would be donated to the organization, amid constant attacks on it by the US government. I'm donating the proceeds from my show tonight to @PPFA . I was a teenage parent. Planned+unplanned parenthood is beautiful ❤️ — Young Thug ひ (@youngthug) June 30, 2017 Welp, Young Thug is probably one of the last rappers most “mumble rap” haters would think to take a stand on any issues facing Americans. Good for him on this one! WENN/Splash
Jay-Z Adresses Rumors on New Album Jay-Z is known to remain relatively mum on the headlines about his personal life …even to the point of his wife making an entire album about him cheating and her journey to forgiveness and opting not to say a single word. But uncle Hov let all his feelings fly on his highly anticipated 13th album release, 4:44 . After it dropped at midnight on July 30, fans instantly began dissecting his lyrics and finding perhaps one of his most personal projects ever. Jay jumps out of the gate on the album’s first track, “Kill Jay-Z” attacking some of the issues that have been floating out there in the media for years now. He’s talking to his ego, and even dips by the subject of his “insane” Little Brother ‘Ye lashing out at him last year … You dropped outta school, you lost your principles I know people backstab you, I feel bad too But this ‘f*ck everybody’ attitude ain’t natural But you ain’t the same, this ain’t KumbaYe But you got hurt because you did cool by ‘Ye You gave him 20 million without blinkin’ He gave you 20 minutes on stage, fuck was he thinkin’? “F*ck wrong with everybody?” is what you sayin’ But if everybody’s crazy, you’re the one that’s insane He even addrressed that lil elevator situation between him and Solange, saying that his actions not only egged her on, but almost cost him Bey… You egged Solange on Knowin’ all along, all you had to say you was wrong You almost went Eric Benét Let the baddest girl in the world get away I don’t even know what else to say Nigga, never go Eric Benét I don’t even know what you woulda done In the future, other niggas playin’ football with your son In the album’s title track, 4:44 , he even responds to Lemonade and goes on record apologizing to Beyonce for risking it all to spend time with Becky instead of focusing on his soul mate. And if my children knew, I don’t even know what I would do If they ain’t look at me the same I would prolly die with all the shame “You did what with who?” What good is a ménage à trois when you have a soulmate? “You risked that for Blue?” Well, get personal with it then, Jay. What do you think of Jay’s soul-bearing bars? Getty/WENN
Rap Royalty Out In Full Force At Mobb Deep Front Man’s Homegoing 50 Cent was among the hip-hop heavyweights who turned up to say goodbye to Prodigy. 50 Cent spoke at a private wake for the star at the Frank E. Campbell Funeral Home in Manhattan Thursday before a public viewing. The “Power” star later took to Instagram to open up about the experience: “I never spoke at a wake or a funeral before, but I felt like I had to say something at P’s Rest In Peace Prodigy,” 50 wrote. “God bless.” [protected-iframe id=”79347ef1ae53910dc21b1621b1fb2883-568005-78804252″ info=”//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js” class=”instagram-media”] Several thousand people waited in a line that stretched down Madison Avenue to see Prodigy for the last time. Among the guests were Prodigy’s rap partner Havoc rapper Ice T, Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan and LL Cool J, who emerged from the chapel dabbing at tears. Prodigy died June 20th after performing in Las Vegas. He was 42 years old, and leaves behind a daughter. Scores of people filled the chapel, where large bouquets of white flowers flanked Prodigy’s closed casket. [protected-iframe id=”a68352284f71951b9faf02f814696808-568005-78804252″ info=”//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js” class=”instagram-media”] Outside the chapel, a crowd gathered across the street to blast Prodigy songs and rap along. Rapper Mic Geronimo told BOSSIP that he and Prodigy were neighbors, and he always used to see the “Quiet Storm” rapper taking his daughter to the park and riding bikes with her. He said he’d hung out with Prodigy and Havoc recently, and they promised to do a show to raise money for cancer and sickle cell anemia. “I think I can honestly say that right now, it’s hit me,” Geronimo said. “I’m glad to have had him as a friend.” Hit the flip for more pictures from Prodigy’s homegoing:
