Pop Smoke's 'Shoot For
Khia Destroys Lil Wayne For His Drug Abuse And Treatment Of Black Women
KHIA
LIL WAYNE
Khia has turned her focus away from Trina for a few minutes to absolutely destroy Lil Wayne in a recent episode of her web TV series Gag Order.
A clip of the show started making the rounds on Tues- day (June 30) in which the “My Neck, My Back” rapper accuses Wayne of letting the “heroin (pronounced hare- on)” go to his head.
Wayne came under fire last month after some com- ments he made about the po- lice killing of George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter movement in general. While speaking to Fat Joe on Insta- gram Live, Wayne said, “We have to stop placing the blame on the whole force and the whole everybody of a certain race, everybody with a badge. We have to actually get into who that person is. If we want to place the blame on any- body, it should be ourselves not doing more than what we think we’re doing.”
Khia, like plenty of others, took issue with his perceived lack of empathy toward the BLM movement.
“Crusty has never been for the people,” she says in the clip. “You claim you’ve never experienced hate and racism and now you’re saying there’s nothing more we can do as a people about the wrongful deaths and the killing and murder of black people that’s going on in America.”

Pop Smoke is on pace to have one of the biggest Hip Hop debuts of 2020.
According to HITS Daily Double, the NYC rapper’s posthumous album Shoot For The Stars Aim For The Moon is estimated to earn around 175,000 to 195,000 equiva- lent album units. It would mark Pop’s first No. 1 effort.
Shoot For The Stars Aim For The Moon is also ex- pected to have major success in regards to streaming. HDD is reporting around 200 mil- lion streams for Pop’s album, a giant jump from

when the “Dior” artist re- leased Meet The Woo 2 in February. That project de- buted at No. 7 on the Bill- board 200 with roughly 36,000 units earned.
Few have translated from rags to riches with a DIY men- tality quite like Master P.
The New Orleans mogul has not only embodied the motif of a “Black Superman,” he’s passed down jewels along the way for younger genera- tions to not only stress owner- ship but also individuality. From Forbes covers to playing in the NBA for a spell and changing the entire record label dynamic with No Limit in the mid-to-late 1990s, few have done it quite like P and his history backs it up.
In an hour-long sitdown with reporter, P not only broke down why he feels

Black ownership is an ab- solute must for the next gen- eration and how he’s establishing a new line of po- tential generational income with Rap Snacks and his Uncle P brand as well as stay- ing involved in the commu- nity.

Union’ Is As ‘Inappropriate’

Public Enemy made a giant splash at the 2020 BET Awards on Sunday night (June 28) when they opened the annual ceremony with an alternate version of “Fight The Power” featuring Nas, Questlove, YG, Black Thought, Rapsody and Enemy Radio’s Jahi.
The performance came on the heels of Chuck D, Fla- vor Flav and DJ Lord’s new video for “State Of The Union (STFU),” an in-your-face, anti-Trump protest anthem. On Tuesday night (June 30), Chuck appeared on CNN’s Cuomo Prime Time segment with host Chris Cuomo and talked about the DJ Pre- mier-assisted song.
Chuck insisted it was

time for Trump to vacate the
office, or as he put it, “Nixonize” him.
“We’re saying go back to your casinos, your buildings, your fake reality shows — go back to the USFL,” he said. “You just don’t need to be president ... You have to be a fool not to see this ridiculous- ness going on right now and the song answers to that.
Lil Wayne’s Young Money Radio show has boasted a handful of notable guests, including Drake, Eminem and DJ Khaled. On Episode 8, Wayne wel- comed his longtime collabo- rator Mannie Fresh and confirmed they were once again teaming up for a new album.
During their conversation, Fresh revealed he’d already finished a few songs for the highly anticipated joint ven- ture. “Everybody always know, the chemistry started
with me and you,” Wayne says. “And they always wanna know when we gonna have the actual Wayne and Fresh project,” to which Fresh replies, “Oh yeah, bro ... as soon as you free up, I’m coming out there. But what you just said, that’s some- thing the whole world has been asking for forever.”
He adds, “Before it’s over with, 2021, after this whole coronavirus bullshit, we will drop the album and it’s just gonna be solely me and him [Wayne].”
