The new album will be a step for Offset, who is ready to go hard at being a solo artist.

“This is me going full-fledged into my solo career,” Offset said. “The objective is to do it fully and smash shit and fuck the game up as a solo artist. I’m coming through, bustin’ through the door. It’s all set, my next chapter. It’s my time.”

Offset revealed a Takeoff verse in his trademark float in March, rapping alongside Icewear Vezzo. In the interview with Variety, Offset didn’t mention Vezzo as a feature, so the track could have changed, or it’s a completely different verse. Offset is seen in the clip enjoying the single with a nice lil bit of flexing in for good measure.

There are currently no details on when we will get the album, but you can read his full interview here.

Megan Thee Stallion Graces Variety Magazine for Power of Young Hollywood Issue

megan thee stallion power of young hollywood 4 2

Megan Thee Stallion shines through adversity in Variety Magazine’s latest cover. The last month for the multi-platinum rapper has not been the easiest after she suffered gunshot wounds on both feet. The outcome required surgery. She called the situation “the worst experience of her life.” Following the traumatic incident, she endured the insensitivity of social media, leaving her to clap back at those who made light of the situation.

In her first public statement, she took to Instagram Live. Bearing with emotion, she fought back tears as she expounded on what had occurred the night of her surgery. Despite the Twitter trolls, she received love and support from Beyoncé, Rihanna, Lizzo, Michael B. Jordan, and more.

“I don’t like to be sad or keep myself in a dark place, because I know it could be the worst thing happening, but the pain and the bad things don’t last for long.”

From her upbringing and early success to juggling the demands of a music career while pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree, Megan is turning her hot girl dreams into a reality. Through it all, she is one of music’s brightest superstars today. Earlier in the week, she announced a new collaboration with Grammy Award-winning femcee, Cardi B, entitled, “Was.” The track is set to release on Friday.

She scored her first Hot 100 chart-topper, after teaming with Beyoncé for “Savage” remix. They met after the Roc Nation signee was invited to Bey and Jay’s New Year party.

“She treated me like family, and now I feel like I am family. We talk all the time, said Megan about Beyonce.”

Now the buzz for her highly anticipated debut album has shot further into the stratosphere. According to the story, she hopes to drop her first full-length release by the end of the Summer. Read the full Variety cover story here.

Comeback SZN: Tyga Inks Multi-Million Dollar Deal With Columbia

Tyga keeps proving why he really had the greatest comeback of 2019 as we learned on Wednesday that the former Young Money artist has inked a multi-million dollar deal with Columbia Records.

Following his fallout with Cash Money/Universal, Tyga took the independent route and dropped hit records like “Taste” featuring Offset and “Dip” featuring Nicki Minaj. He’s independent success grabbed Columbia’s attention and now the rapper is signing a deal with a better knowledge of the game.

“The independent thing taught me a lot. It’s like I already know the ropes,” Tyga told Variety. Tyga is hoping to take what he learned from the solo grind and do it on a larger scale with the multi-million dollar backing of Columbia.

Had it not been for Tyga’s hunger, the collapse of his relationship with Cash Money could’ve been the end for the “Make it Nasty” rapper. Tyga once claimed on Power 105.1’s The Breakfast Club that he had never received a check from Young Money.

Instead of continuing what would’ve been a long legal fight to get what he felt he was owed, Tyga just asked for his freedom from the label and it turned out to be a good decision. Throughout his Young Money issues, Tyga has maintained a strong relationship with his former boss, Lil Wayne, who he paid homage to in his video for “Lightskin Lil Wayne.”

We’ll be following updates on Tyga’s new label situation including a future album and tour dates.

Fans will remember her New York Fashion Week dispute with Cardi B that resulted in some online shots from both sides. Nicki also went after Travis Scott and Kylie Jenner when the ‘Sicko Mode’ rapper’s ‘Astroworld’ album earned the number 1 spot on Billboard beating out Nicki’s ‘Queen’ album, which Nicki has disputed as being inaccurate.

The multi-platinum rapper has also struggled to execute her latest tour, which could be part of the reason Minaj and her management decided to part ways. Since the announcement, artists like Future dropped out of the tour.

This is not the only change in the tour.

Future and Tekashi 6ix9ine were both originally supposed to tour with Nicki overseas, and now neither will perform with her. Since Future decided to drop out of the tour and 6ix9ine is incarcerated, Nicki was left with the rising star, Juice Wrld.

Not only did the acts change, but Minaj caught a lot of flack for canceled shows that her team claimed was related to technical issues at different venues. The Variety report says that Minaj and her management team made the decision prior to Nicki’s performance at Coachella.
