Pretty Vee sparks controversy after praising Tory Lanez on ‘The Breakfast Club’

Pretty Vee has found herself in the center of a social media uproar after making controversial comments about Tory Lanez during her recent interview on The Breakfast Club. Given the ongoing legal troubles between Lanez and Megan Thee Stallion, people online responded quickly, especially Megan fans, who weren’t pleased with what Vee had to say. To give some background, Lanez was found guilty in 2022 of shooting Megan in the foot, which led to a long prison sentence in 2023.

Despite being incarcerated, he somehow offered Pretty Vee advice about her career, suggesting that she should produce her own stage plays. That part didn’t seem too shocking, but things took a turn when Vee openly called for Lanez’s release, which caught many off guard. Charlamagne Tha God, known for stirring the pot, joked that Megan Thee Stallion would probably stop following Vee on social media after her comments. Vee brushed it off, mentioning that Megan wasn’t following her. Still, she insisted she was a fan of Megan, but this didn’t seem to ease the backlash from Megan’s dedicated fanbase.

Many of Megan’s fans were disappointed that Pretty Vee was supporting someone convicted of hurting another Black woman. This situation reignited conversations about accountability, loyalty, and how the entertainment industry deals with challenging topics like this one. While some people defended Vee, arguing that she was sharing personal advice, others thought her call for Lanez’s release went too far, given the seriousness of the situation. It’s unclear whether Vee expected such a strong reaction, but this incident shows how much this case continues to divide people. Pretty Vee might be reconsidering what she said, while Megan’s fans firmly support the artist.

BuYufu turns the symptoms of love into a soul-filled dance with “Side Effects May Include”

In “Side Effects May Include,” BuYufu has made the irrational symptoms of hopelessly falling in love playful and highly musical. Love’s a hell of a drug, and it has some weird side effects. Missed calls, dancing on the spot, and acting completely out of character. It’s a simple idea, but the track really brings it to life.

It’s written as a song for a 70s soul club performance, influenced by crossover soul, northern soul, Afro-Cuban soul, and Latin soul. Horns, strings, shuffle guitar, Latin percussion, Hammond organ, and an active drum break surround the song’s central feeling. The arrangement keeps the song feeling lively, but the vintage influence is very clear.

“Side Effects May Include,” has subtle callbacks for those who have been following the project. This connection gives the song a sense of finality. It’s warm, raw, and deliberately human in its subject matter, capturing the odd thrill of love while showing how an old-school soul feeling can still speak naturally to the present.
