Lil Mari Reportedly Dead After Allegedly Mocking BloodHound Q50

Another tragic loss has hit the Chicago rap scene, as reports have surfaced that Lil Mari was shot and killed just days after the death of BloodHound Q50. No Jumper confirmed reports of Lil Mari’s death Tuesday night, but details surrounding the incident remain limited as the investigation unfolds.

To our knowledge, Lil Mari had disrespected BloodHound Q50 after Q50’s death. Lil Mari reportedly went to the scene of Q50’s murder and mocked the deceased rapper. No Jumper apparently reposted a video of the alleged incident to bring more attention to the situation.

But there is no confirmation that the video or Lil Mari’s alleged actions are related to his subsequent death. A police investigation is said to be taking place, but no arrests have been made. The link between the two incidents has yet to be established as the situation unfolds.

Lil Mari had been working hard for the last couple of years trying to get recognition as a recording artist, and his music and videos were getting a lot of buzz. His career was beginning to draw large online audiences, with some of his music videos garnering millions of views.

BloodHound Q50’s death is also an ongoing investigation. The rapper was reportedly shot in his Tesla at a Chicago gas station a couple of weekends ago. No arrests were made as of this report, although security video of the shooting reportedly exists.

Another disturbing development in a story already unfolding has been reports of Lil Mari’s death. The timing is concerning given the reported incident surrounding Q50’s death, but it’s still important to separate what’s been reported from what investigators have determined.

Both cases are still ongoing and developing at this time. No arrests have been made in connection with either death, and the information currently available does not establish a connection between Lil Mari’s alleged actions and his killing.

Meek Mill Draws Mixed Reactions With Drill Take on Nico & Vinz’s “Am I Wrong”

Meek Mill has released a couple of songs that leaked online recently, giving fans a proper way to hear the tracks after they popped up over the weekend. “Philly Heathens” has been praised for its attention to street culture and youth affected by violence, but his other new album, “Am I Wrong,” has received a much more divided response.

“Philly Heathens” has been praised for its lyrics about street culture and the young people who get caught up in violence. “Am I Wrong,” however, takes a vastly different approach, remixing the song of the same name by Nico & Vinz as a drill centric interpolation.

“Am I Wrong” is now 12 years old, and its connection to the EDM sound of the time makes it especially recognizable to those who grew up with it. So Meek’s take is built on a familiar musical reference, but the response has been far from universally complimentary. A lot of the criticism has been directed at the hook. The production has also been called dated, but the track was leaked, which may explain its sound. But the strongest reactions have focused on Meek’s chorus vocals.

Drake Joins Karol G in Houston for First Live Performance of “Ahi”

Drake made a surprise appearance in Houston this weekend, joining Karol G on stage for the first-ever live performance of their collaboration, “Ahi.”
The surprise appearance took place during Karol G’s show in Houston, where Drake jumped out from the bottom of the stage to perform the song with her. “Ahi” is the latest from Karol G’s project No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto, and the Houston show marked the first time the pair had performed the collaboration together on stage.

Drake made his entrance to a loud reception from the crowd. The rapper popped out from under the stage, bowed to Karol G, hugged her, and launched into their collaboration. With “Ahi,” the performance was not over. Drake stayed on stage and carried on with the set, performing “Janice STFU” and “One Dance” and giving the Houston crowd a long set from the Canadian rapper.

The collaboration also sparked speculation about Drake’s upcoming music. A rumor started that Karol G was one of the collaborators on the project, along with Molly Santana and Future, days before ICEMAN is expected to drop. Future and Molly Santana were among the names on the rumored list, and Future ended up on “Run To Atlanta.”

Drake’s Houston appearance comes as he continues to promote music outside the traditional album release cycle. He released FOMO, a visual YouTube project featuring visuals for several songs from Habibti and Maid Of Honor nearly two weeks ago. The project also featured a couple of unreleased songs, including new material with Yeat and new unreleased music with Don Toliver.

Drake and Don Toliver have also dropped a remix of Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas.” The remix has recently sparked speculation about the artists after re uploaded visuals allegedly erased all footage of Langley.

But the Houston show shifted the focus back to Drake and Karol G. The surprise appearance turned the stop into the first live showcase of “Ahi” for the audience, while Drake’s renditions of “Janice STFU” and “One Dance” extended his surprise time onstage. It also gave fans their first chance to see the two artists perform their collaboration together, adding a live chapter to the release of “Ahi. “
