Tobe Nwigwe And Big KRIT Go Against The Grain In Their ‘Bozos’ Video

The two Southern rappers warn, ‘Don’t join the circus if you ain’t a clown.’ …

DIY rappers Tobe Nwigwe and Big KRIT link up to advise listeners to embrace their individuality in the exquisitely-styled video for “Bozos.” Set in an empty amphitheater, the video sees the two Southern rappers flanked by a flight of dancers and draped in crimson tunics emblazoned with their iconic album art as they call out “Bozos” who just go along with the crowd. “Don’t join the circus if you ain’t a clown,” they warn while spitting verses full of warm encouragement for the iconoclasts who follow their own path.

If you haven’t heard of Dallas rapper Tobe Nwigwe before this, it’s time to get familiar (here’s his immaculate NPR Tiny Desk Concert as a primer). Earlier this year, Tobe went viral with a series of short songs this summer referencing Breonna Taylor and police brutality. Displaying his full capabilities as a rapper, singer, designer, director, and producer, the videos for “I Need You To (Breonna Taylor)” and “Try Jesus” took off on Instagram after being shared by Diddy, LeBron James, and more. They launched the rapper, who’s been steadily toiling as an indie artist for the past several years, to a new level of well-deserved stardom. He’s an artist that serious rap fans should be keeping an eye on in the future, as he’s just getting started.

HonkMagazine

Ray J is no stranger to drama, and recently, it all unfolded at his own home, even though he wasn’t directly involved. A wild scene erupted when his security guard spat on a well known reality star, Aaron The Plumber (whose real name is Aaron Sloan and is also called “The Biggest Turtle”). This altercation happened during a heated moment over something as simple as a phone charger. According to a voice message about the incident, things escalated because Aaron had been drinking, which made the situation more volatile.

Surprisingly, Ray J wasn’t present when this incident occurred, which has left many people questioning whether he knew anything about it happening in his home. Even without being there, Ray J’s name is still connected to the drama since it all took place at his place. He has faced his share of conflicts lately. For example, he recently looked back on a past argument with rapper Kodak Black, acknowledging that he could have handled things better and admitting his previous behavior wasn’t great. He’s trying to be more thoughtful about picking his battles, but the same can’t be said for the people around him.

As for Aaron The Plumber, he’s used to being in the spotlight, so this latest incident is just another chapter in his life as a reality TV star. Whether the fight was a big deal or just blown out of proportion, it’s attracting a lot of attention, and social media is buzzing about it. Meanwhile, Ray J probably has bigger issues on his mind. With ongoing disputes on social media, industry pressures, and reflections on his past fights, a drunken argument over a charger is likely low on his list of concerns. For now, fans wonder if Ray J will speak out about this latest drama or let it fade away like so many other celebrity squabbles.

Playboi Carti Opens Up to Kai Cenat About Adin Ross, New Album MUSIC

HonkMagazine

Playboi Carti has always done things his way, whether it’s in music, fashion, or even when he’s online. With the release of his new album, MUSIC, the mysterious rapper has been making headlines in his typical unconventional style. Recently, he joined a Discord call with popular streamer Kai Cenat and other streamers Young Dabo and ImDontai to share his thoughts and plans. However, an old topic came back into the spotlight, his awkward experience streaming with Adin Ross. In late 2023, Playboi Carti stirred up some buzz when he appeared on Adin Ross’s stream after a concert with Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign.

But his appearance was brief, he showed up just long enough to get paid and then left, leaving Adin and viewers disappointed. The reaction was quick, with Adin expressing his frustration and fans flooding social media with jokes about what happened. During the recent call with Kai Cenat, while he didn’t mention Adin by name, Carti clearly understood the reference. When asked if he’d consider doing another stream, he admitted he didn’t vibe with the last experience, “I ain’t really mess with bro like that,” he said, showing he wasn’t comfortable with the situation.

This isn’t surprising for fans who know Playboi Carti well, he is very selective about where and with whom he works. He values authenticity and prefers to engage in situations that match his energy. While his relationship with streaming is tricky, he maintains strong connections within the rap community, as seen in the impressive list of artists he collaborates with on MUSIC. So, will Carti join another stream in the future? It’s possible, but only if it’s what he wants. As he continues to explore new creative paths with MUSIC and beyond, Playboi Carti doesn’t just follow trends, he sets them.
