In her feature that coincides with the cover, conducted by Tyra Banks, Megan opened up about wanting to hide her aspirations of rapping from her mom. “My mom was a rapper,” Meg said. “She didn’t know I […]
It looks like DONDA might be happening after all. Kanye West teased his DONDA album last year, but the release date came and went without any release or subsequent fanfare, and fans were forced to move on. But a new muted clip, which Consequence uploaded to Insta, suggests the project may be happening after all. […]
2 Chainz cryptically tweeted today that either 2020’s So Help Me God or its anticipated follow-up would be the rapper’s “last trap album.” “This gone be my last trap album,” Tity Boi wrote on Twitter, “enjoy.” While it remains unclear whether Tity Boi was speaking about 2020’s So Help Me God or his next record, it will be interesting to see where the rapper takes […]
