Ari Lennox Demands Release From Dreamville/Interscope Records – The R Report
Ari Lennox has publicly demanded she be released from her recording contract with both Interscope and Dreamville. In a lengthy rant posted on Instagram, the R&B singer laid out her issues with the labels, which center on marketing support and the release of her recent single “Smoke.” “I’m so tired. Where do I fucking start? My heart’s beating so fast,” she began. “I don’t know what else to do. I try to do things the right way and no one takes me seriously. And so we’re here on social media. Again. I’m trying to be respectful but I feel played right now.” She continued: “I told management I didn’t want the ‘Smoke’ video to come out because I’m tired of people treating me like I’m the face of mental health. I’m tired of people treating me like they’re so sorry for me. I’m a human being who has been very transparent about my life and it’s just weird how everyone gets really agitated. “The whole point of the ‘Smoke’ video was to take back every fucking negative thing people have said about me and to try and own that shit and be like, ‘Fuck y’all.’ People are hellbent on portraying me as an insecure person who is just the face of mental health.” Lennox also claimed that Interscope and Dreamville refusted to comply with her request to remove the music video for “Smoke.” “I changed my mind about releasing this video and I told management and I told the label and they told me that they would take it down,” she added. “Apparently, the people in charge of the video were unresponsive but they’re like, ‘Everyone loves the video so we’re gonna keep it up.’ “No, you are not going to manipulate me. Y’all are gonna be accountable for that, Interscope. I told you I wasn’t comfortable with it. I wish I had a label that cared and wanted to protect me. I just wanna be released. It’s that simple.” She also complained about a lack of promotion for “Smoke” and described the dispute as “the last straw.”

50 Cent Turns Down Trump’s $3M Offer To Perform At MSG Rally – The R Report
50 Cent has revealed that he turned down a lucrative offer to perform at Donald Trump’s recent campaign rally at New York’s Madison Square Garden. The G-Unit mogul appeared on The Breakfast Club on Tuesday (October 29) where he spoke about rejecting a $3 million payday from the Trump campaign to make an appearance at the event on Sunday (October 27), which has stirred controversy thanks to racially offensive jokes made by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe. With the presidential election looming, DJ Envy asked 50: “Is it true Donald Trump tried to give you money to endorse him one time?” 50 replied: “I got a call — they wanted me for Sunday,” referring to the MSG rally, before revealing that Trump’s team offered him $3 million. Explaining his decision to turn down the offer, the Queens, New York native said: “I’m afraid of politics. I do not like no part of politics. When you do get involved in it, no matter how you feel, someone passionately disagrees with you. I stay away from religion, I stay away from politics.” He then joked: “That’s the formula for the confusion that has sent Kanye to Japan. He said something about both of those things, and now he can only go to Japan.” 50 confirmed that he also declined an invitation to perform at the Republican National Convention this past summer. Despite turning down the opportunity to perform at Trump’s rally, 50 Cent has been complimentary of the controversial former president in the past. https://youtu.be/qXB3wZoH51E?si=SxG21ULzWkMja_5L
Kanye West & Adidas Reaches Out Of Court Settlement Agreement – The R Report

The settlement occurred two years almost to the day from when West was dropped by adidas. On October 25, 2022, the German sportswear giant announced its decision to terminate its lucrative partnership with Kanye with immediate effect, citing his antisemitic remarks.

Lil Durk has been arrested over his alleged role in a murder plot against Quando Rondo to avenge the death of King Von. The Chicago rapper (real name Durk Banks) was arrested on Thursday (October 24) in Broward County, Florida on a charge of murder for hire, according to police records. Five other men, alleged to be members of Durk’s OTF (Only the Family) collective, have also been arrested on charges of murder for hire and murder for hire conspiracy in connection with the 2022 killing of Quando’s cousin Saviay’a “Lul Pab” Robinson. Durk is currently being held without bond at Broward County Jail and is awaiting transfer into the custody of U.S. Marshals. Neither he nor his team have yet to comment on the arrest. The newly-unsealed indictment, filed in the U.S. Central Distict Court of California, charges five men with Robinson’s death: Kavon London Grant, Deandre Dontrell Wilson, Keith Jones, David Brian Lindsey and Asa Houston. They are accused of attempting to murder Quanda Rondo in Los Angeles in August 2022 but killing the rapper’s cousin, who was with him at the time, instead. The group carried out orders from and relied on the resources of OTF, according to prosecutors, with flights and rental cars paid for with a credit card associated with the label. While Lil Durk isn’t mentioned by name in the indictment, it claims that an unnamed co-conspirator offered “money and lucrative music opportunities” to anyone who would take part in killing Quando Rondo. Quando was with Lul Pab at a gas station in Beverly Hills when they were shot at. The Georgia rapper escaped unscathed but his cousin was fatally wounded. It is believed that the attempted hit on Rondo was in retaliation for the death of OTF rapper King Von, who was shot and killed during a scuffle with Rondo and his crew in Atlanta in 2020. https://youtu.be/xq9xBu5UGSU?si=hJVj2_xXqBlyaJrn

Young Dro Almost Gets Into Fight During Breakfast Club Interview – The R Report
ATLANTA, GEORGIA - AUGUST 21: Rapper Young Dro attends the Monster Energy BIG3 Celebrity Basketball Game at State Farm Arena on August 21, 2022 in Atlanta, Georgia. (Photo by Paras Griffin/Getty Images for Idol Roc) Young Dro‘s appearance on The Breakfast Club nearly erupted into violence after the Atlanta rapper was heckled by a member of their entourage while talking about his sobriety. Appearing on the radio show alongside frequent collaborator and former Grand Hustle label boss T.I. on Monday (October 14), Dro was opening up about his past drug addiction and stint in rehab when a friend who was sat on a couch behind them began laughing and interjecting with jokes. Dro and Tip initially saw the funny side of his flippant reactions, but the mood in the room changed when the man burst into laughter as Dro was explaining how his near-overdose coincided with his daughter also being on drugs. “Aye, you finna get slapped. I mean, we cool but I’ll slap the shit out you ’bout that,” Dro warned him after turning around in his chair. The tension escalated when the heckler refused to back down and replied: “You ain’t gonna slap me now,” to which Dro threateningly asked: “What you wanna do?” Fortunately, T.I. quickly diffused the hostility by urging Young Dro to calm down while also scolding their friend. “Aye, look! Remember who you came in with! Remember what we doing here, man. Come on, man. Get this shit together, bruh. Aiight?!” he said in a raised voice. The interview resumed without any further flare-ups and Dro later apologized to his friend, saying: “I got beside myself. I shouldn’t have taken feelings to that. That’s my dude right there. I ain’t finna be slapping no goddamn body.” https://youtu.be/_1Z2pLp5O1c?si=mQIh05exDn7edj6B
Bow Wow Catches Heat For Insensitive Diddy Comments – The R Report
Bow Wow has been sharply criticized for claiming that he misses going to Diddy‘s parties since the mogul was arrested for sex trafficking and racketeering. The rapper and actor made the controversial comments on Rocsi Diaz’s More to the Story podcast, where he was asked about the legal drama surrounding the Bad Boy boss. “Bruh supposed to be on a 250-foot yacht with his wife, legs up, chilling, this how you ride it out,” he said. “It seems unreal at times. Me and Jermaine [Dupri] spoke about and I was like, ‘I never thought we would see him in this position. Ever.’ “He’s like the gatekeeper to the game. To the point where… BET Awards weekend? The past two, they just didn’t feel right ’cause there was no motion, there was no parties, there was nowhere to go.” Bow Wow then clarified that he was refering to Puffy’s star-studded parties and not the alleged “freak offs” that are at the heart of his criminal case, before continuing his original point. “I said, ‘Jermaine, there’s no parties!’ You feel it, it’s like a hole. He was everything Hip Hop!” he added. “For that to die out, you just would have never thought … It’s sad and it’s messed up that we gotta witness this.” Bow Wow was criticized by many online for his comments about Diddy, who in addition to his federal charges has been hit with numerous sexual assault lawsuits since last year. “Bow Wow needs to STFU. This is some insensitive bs,” one critic wrote on X (former Twitter), while another added: “This just pissed me off… N-ggas worried about parties meanwhile women were getting abused and assaulted…” https://youtu.be/VpAK3qABN3Q?si=kMO2eRvP8gzP-Wgm

Kanye West’s New Album “Bully” Returns To College Dropout Blueprint – The R Report
Kanye West is reportedly going to be the sole producer on his forthcoming album Bully, marking the first time he’s handled all (if not the vast majority) of the beats on a project since his 2004 debut The College Dropout. According to journalist and podcaster Touré, Ye is now living in Japan and hard at work on his first solo album since 2020’s Donda. Touré said in a video posted on Instagram: “Kanye is now living in Tokyo and living in a hotel hard at work on his next album Bully. He’s recording the album in the hotel room. Like, all the machines are set up in the hotel room.” He then shared more details about the project, saying: “It’s a concept album and he plans to be the only producer on it. Traditionally, Kanye is the product of a team, there are producers helping him, there are writers helping him, he comes with the big ideas but there’s others in. “Not this time. This time, Kanye is gonna make this pretty much by himself. A fresh chapter in his life because in Tokyo he can be who he wants to be.” On his Substack, Touré added: “He’s pulling from an eclectic pool. He’s traveled the world a lot so he’s aware of a lot more music than probably ever before. So I think sound-wise, it’s probably varied. But in a Kanye-esque form.” He also noted: “This album is 100% him. They meant it’s pretty much made by Kanye alone. He’s producing everything 100% himself. This will be 100% Kanye West, which it hasn’t been in many, many years.” Touré, who has interviewed Kanye in the past, most notably in 2004 for Rolling Stone, cited an unnamed source close to the rap legend. Ye himself revealed the existence of Bully during a show in China last month, where he also previewed material from the album.
