BlocBoy JB Thinks PlayStation Is ‘For The Gays’ And Fans Aren’t Happy With Him

You’d think after so many rappers have put their feet in their mouths on Instagram, they’d learn to self-edit, if not hire social media managers to handle their fan interactions. Doing so would certainly have helped Memphis rapper BlocBoy JB, who incurred a backlash from fans over his opinion on the upcoming next-generation video game consoles during a recent live stream on Instagram. When he was apparently asked about which console he preferred, he offered some controversial — and let’s face it, offensive — reasoning for choosing the new Xbox over the PlayStation 5.

“If you really look into it, PlayStation, they got pride colors so PlayStation supposed to be for the gays and Xbox supposed to be for the street n****s,” he rationalized. “Not saying that the gays can’t play the Xbox but I’m just saying, Xbox for the gangster n****s. That’s my calculations.”

While it’s likely he was trying to make a joke, fans quickly reversed his “calculations” on him, turning him into the butt of the joke — which we’re sure he enjoyed. They pointed out how illogical his conclusion was by noting that many of the games on both systems fall under stereotypically masculine pursuits like combat, sports, and various combinations of the two. As one fan put it, “@BlocBoy_JB thinks I’m gay because I play violent manly video games on my manly Playstation when I’m gay for many other reasons outside of that.” Check out some of the responses below.

Blocboy said Xbox was for the heteros and PS5 was for the lgbt and now look. Sounds like the gays won this round.

Alias Wayne celebrates the beauty of genuine affection on latest release “Tribute”

Alias Wayne brings the romantic message to the fore with “Tribute,” a song written to celebrate someone whose qualities deserve recognition and appreciation. The whole release is really about love and wanting the world to know how special someone is to you. It’s a simple yet significant idea, especially since the song takes an appreciation-based approach to romance rather than focusing on the thrill of attraction.

As the track progresses, the addition of shakers and hand drum adds yet another layer of rhythmic character, giving the arrangement a lively quality. What I really like is how these elements help the song move forward without detracting from its romantic message.

The lyric direction also keeps affection at the center, expressing admiration for someone’s qualities and a desire to get closer through a personal invitation to share a dance. It gives the song a warm, accessible feel. “Tribute” is a release that celebrates someone special. Alias Wayne blends a message of love with guitar, percussion, and rhythmic movement. It’s a nice treat for fans of romantic songs with a personal touch.

Séhkou unveils a beautiful connection between faith and intimacy on latest release “Song of Songs 1:3-4 (I Know)”

Romance meets spiritual expression in Séhkou’s new single, “Song of Songs 1:3-4 (I Know),” featuring Angélica Allen. The release provides a fresh take on attraction and intimacy. The song blends hip-hop with soul and R&B influences, celebrating a bond between two people who genuinely choose and cherish each other. Rather than the indecision of chasing after someone who keeps their distance, it’s about mutual affection, desire, and the reassurance of being wanted back.

I particularly appreciate the solemn flute that flows throughout the track. This gives the arrangement an interesting musical character and strengthens the connection between the romantic and spiritual themes. The rap rhythm is also noteworthy, bringing a different feel to the track, while keeping the lyrical focus front and center.

Allen’s spoken-scripture intro and outro provide an important framework for the record, connecting its expressions of intimacy to a sense of reverence. Song of Songs 1:3-4 (I Know) has something meaningful to offer listeners who appreciate music that goes beyond surface attraction to explore love. Séhkou blends hip-hop, soul, R&B, and spiritual expression thoughtfully.
