Freeway Shows Appreciation For Joe Biden’s Condolences After Son’s Death

It’s looking like a tight race but if the polls are any indication, Donald Trump could possibly be out of the White House. With the election’s taking place tomorrow (Nov. 3rd), both Donald Trump and Joe Biden are hitting the campaign trail hard for their final push. Of course, their tactics are different — Trump is allowing the coronavirus to spread at packed rallies while Biden has taken on the drive-in approach.

On Sunday (Nov. 1st), Joe Biden held a rally in Philadelphia where he gave a special shout-out to Freeway. The State Property MC performed at the rally and Biden thanked the rapper for showing his support, especially after losing his son this past week.

“I also want to thank Philly Freeway for being here and performing,” Biden said. “I know he’s heartbroken about the loss of his son. I know the pain of burying a son and he does too now, unfortunately. It means the world to me he chose to be here because the election is that important.”

Joe’s son Beau Biden passed away in 2015 at the age of 46 after losing a battle with brain cancer. Before he was sworn into office, Biden also lost his wife and 13-month-old daughter in a car accident. 

Freeway took to Twitter today where he expressed his appreciation for Biden who had expressed his condolences for his son’s death. “Me & my brother @oschinovasquez1 both lost our sons in the same week. @joebiden thank you for the kind words. I know you know the pain that comes with losing a son. We are from two totally different World’s but we can relate to each other. You have my vote on Tuesday!” Freeway tweeted.

The Philadelphia MC took to Instagram last week where he shared a powerful message revealing the death of his son, Jihad.

F1lthy Challenges DJ Akademiks to a Boxing Match After Controversial Comments on Playboi Carti’s MUSIC

HonkMagazine

The hip-hop scene is buzzing with excitement, and it’s not just about the music this time. F1lthy, a prominent producer who played a big role in Playboi Carti’s new album MUSIC, has thrown down a bold challenge that caught everyone off guard. This all started when DJ Akademiks, a well-known media personality, made some waves with his comments about the album’s launch, including some questionable claims about who was really behind its direction. Akademiks suggested that rapper Kendrick Lamar was the one creatively guiding the album, but F1lthy stepped in to set the record straight.

Instead of accepting the correction, Akademiks dismissed F1lthy, saying he didn’t even know who he was. For someone as influential as F1lthy, known for his work since Carti’s Whole Lotta Red, that comment felt personal. In response, F1lthy took to social media and issued a playful challenge, “You owe me a boxing match at Barclays Center.” Many fans are now excited about the idea of these two going head to head in the ring. Recently, it’s become trendy for celebrities to settle their disputes through boxing matches.

However, beneath this playful banter lies a more serious issue about how much respect producers deserve in the music industry. F1lthy has heavily influenced the unique sound of MUSIC, and his talent deserves recognition. While Akademiks may grab headlines with his commentary, it’s F1lthy’s beats that listeners truly enjoy. As the back and forth continues, it’s clear that their tension is far from resolved. Whether we’ll actually see a boxing match at Barclays Center is uncertain, F1lthy is ready to defend his name and fight for recognition.

He candidly points out, “I know that people might target me just because they’re upset with 50.” It’s a reality he’s learned to accept.

In the music industry, there’s an unspoken rule that being loyal can come with sacrifices. For Yayo, this often means dealing with conflicts from those who see him as closely connected to 50 Cent. Despite facing disrespect through feuds and insults, Yayo remains steadfast, refusing to let outside pressures influence him. Rather than feeling bitter, Yayo approaches his experiences with a positive mindset. He recognizes that loyalty can be costly. “There are no rules in this game,” he remarked, highlighting the unpredictable and sometimes harsh nature of the industry. For him, the key is to stay smart and focused.

Yayo’s down to earth attitude is evident as he underlines the importance of perseverance. “I’ve faced a lot in this industry, and I just try to remain humble and keep pushing forward,” he shared. His strong mindset shows that while drama often grabs attention, it also reveals true strength. As fans of G-Unit know, the relationship between Yayo and 50 Cent goes beyond just music.
