Nav And Lil Baby Explain Why They ‘Don’t Need Friends’ In A Tempestuous Video

The video arrives on the heels of Nav’s ‘Emergency Tsunami’ LP. …

After securing back-to-back No. 1 albums with Good Intentions earlier this year, Nav decided to drop yet another project. The rapper shared his record Emergency Tsunami Friday, which boasts features from the likes of Lil Baby, Young Thug, and Gunna. Celebrating the release of his second LP of the year, Nav and Lil Baby teamed up to flaunt their success in the stormy “Don’t Need Friends” video.

The visual opens with Nav remaining calm in the face of a towering thunderstorm. Nav then joins Lil Baby to show off their chains while rapping about others being jealous of their rise to fame. The two aren’t fazed though, as they know they can lean on their wealth for comfort rather than waste time with two-faced friends. “Whole pool heated up and it cost a hundred thousand / ‘Cause I left this sh*t runnin’, I can turn nothin’ to somethin’ / Book me a show and I fly out the country / I eat at Nobu when I get the munchies,” Nav raps.

Just ahead of Nav’s album release, the rapper teased the upcoming project with a brazen trailer. Nav stitched together recognizable scenes from the 2009 Korean natural disaster film Tidal Wave, apt scenery to present an album titled Emergency Tsunami.

Watch Nav’s ‘Don’t Need Friends’ video with Lil Baby above.

Suge Knight Calls Out Kanye West Over Offensive Comments on Carter Twins

HonkMagazine

Suge Knight is known for speaking his mind, and in a recent interview on a show called Art of Dialogue, he shared strong opinions about Kanye West’s recent behavior. Kanye, who is often in the spotlight for his controversial actions, made headlines after insulting Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s children in a tweet. Suge found this particularly unacceptable. “I need to talk to Kanye,” Suge said, clearly upset. “We should never disrespect anyone’s kids.” He was disturbed by Kanye calling the Carter twins a hurtful name, emphasizing that this kind of behavior is unacceptable in both hip-hop and society in general.

“You don’t talk about Jay and Beyoncé’s kids and call them names. That’s crossing the line.” For Suge Knight, this isn’t just about one tweet, it’s about a larger issue. He feels that such hurtful comments not only impact the people involved but also reflect poorly on hip-hop and Black culture as a whole. “I expect more from people in hip-hop and our community,” he stated. “We’ve come a long way, and we should stand up for each other, especially when it comes to protecting kids and those who are vulnerable.”

This isn’t the first time Kanye has faced backlash for his controversial remarks, but Suge clarifies that calling out children is where he draws the line. “That’s not funny to me, not at all,” he remarked, suggesting that there should be real consequences for Kanye’s words. “He needs an old-fashioned lesson.” Suge Knight’s comments remind us that, regardless of how famous an artist is, there are still moral limits that shouldn’t be crossed, especially when it comes to children. His call for accountability sends a strong message to Kanye West and anyone else who might think it’s acceptable to attack innocent kids in the hip-hop world.
