Vince Staples Shares “Get The Fuck Off My Dick” Single Following GoFundMe Campaign

Vince Staples has officially released his new single, “Get The Fuck Off My Dick,” which he teased in a comment about his trolling GoFundMe campaign on Thursday morning (March 8). The brash record features him targeting awards shows over snubs and taking issues with the media.

“Press is tryna block my blessings, no mo’ talking to Vince/NPR and XXL, I can’t tell which is which/Missed the mark, I think my label need a marketing switch,” Staples raps.

Vince Staples’ newly launched GoFundMe page to get him to shut up forever doesn’t seem to be working.

Staples unveiled artwork for a new song — titled “Get The Fuck Off My Dick” — via Twitter on Thursday (March 8), showing a branded condom and writing, “I’ve seen distaste for my campaign from allover the world…. luckily we do accept most forms of currency…. in the meantime lll just leave this here.”

The sentiment parallels his money-raising campaign, where he says he will disappear and never be heard from again if his critics and haters raise $2 million.

While it’s unclear whether Staples plans to sell his condoms, the single has already appeared on Spotify, which likely means it’ll drop with new releases late Thursday night (March 8).

A short while before unveiling the artwork, Staples hit Twitter to troll those criticizing his newly launched campaign.

To celebrate passing the $1,000 mark (it currently sits at $1,284 from 103 backers as of press time), Staples revealed he had begun looking at puppies, something he says he will purchase if his $2 million target is met.

Too $hort Says Explicit Text Messages Prove Rape Accuser Is Lying

Los Angeles, CA – After Too $hort was accused of sexual assault by Teana Louis in January, the Bay Area rap pioneer adamantly denied all allegations and now, he says he has proof she’s lying. According to TMZ, $hort has disclosed a string of salacious text messages that he says prove the two were dating.

$hort’s attorneys, Rob Reichman and Sean Macias, reportedly filed documents on Wednesday (March 7) that show Louis was sexually pursuing the veteran rapper. In the text messages, Louis, who is suing $hort for sexual battery, reportedly says she loves him and refers to herself as his wife.

Louis reportedly also mentions his “big penis,” while another text reads, “Baby I wish you were here right now, just talking to u on the phone makes me wet.”

Reichman and Macias assert there’s no evidence to back up her claims of sexual assault. $hort believes her accusations are money motivated.

(The original version of this article was published on January 23, 2018 and can be found below.)

Teana Louis, a woman who alleges Too $hort sexually assaulted her multiple times in 2016, is reportedly planning to sue the legendary Bay Area rapper for sexual battery. But according to $hort, they never had intercourse and her accusations are simply a ploy to extort money from him. He denies any sexual assault ever took place.

“Once again, I am reading false allegations about myself in the media,” $hort tells HipHopDX. “I have not been served. However, if there is a lawsuit against me, at most it is an extortion plot and at the least an attempt to defame my character.

“These are the same accusations from over a year ago, which were falsely reported then as criminal charges,” he continues. “At that time, there were no charges, never an investigation and there was no lawsuit. I released a statement saying as much and refrained from attacking my accusers character. I did not sexually assault her and I will now resume the suit I had begun to file against her for slander.” 

The “accusations from over year ago” he’s referring to stem from March 2017, when the Hella Disrespectful MC was alleged to have raped an artist who was previously signed to his label, something he also refuted.

In regard to the most recent allegations, TMZ reports they obtained court documents filed by Louis that say $hort held her down and had vaginal sex with her, and “brutally sodomized” her.

$hort, who recently dropped the new single “You Came To Party” as part of the Meter Mobb, vows to move ahead with the countersuit to clear his name.

Charges Dismissed Against 2 Men Indicted For BTY YoungN’s Murder

New Orleans, LA – After New Orleans rapper BTY YoungN was shot and killed last September, two suspects were indicted for his murder. Now, charges against the two men — Darryl Bannister Jr. and Kyron Williams —  have been dropped. According to Nola.com, their second-degree murder charges were dismissed on February 23.

A spokesman for the New Orleans district attorney said, “Based upon the totality of evidence available, we decided it was not prudent to proceed to trial at this time.”

BTY YoungN was killed last April outside of a gas station in New Orleans’ Hollygrove area just days before he was meeting a lawyer to discuss signing with Cash Money Records.

The investigation “remains open and ongoing.”

(The original version of this article was written by D.L. Chandler and published on May 14, 2017. It can be found below.)

The shooting death of rising New Orleans rapper BTY YoungN last month sent shock waves throughout the region with many scrambling to make sense of the killing. City police have identified a suspect in the murder of the 27-year-old Rich Gang affiliate and are currently on the lookout.

BTY YoungN, born Desmone Jerome, was shot several times and killed while at a gas station on the night of April 29 in the Hollygrove section of town. NOPD are on the hunt for 31-year-old Daryl Bannister Jr. and are looking to charge the man with second-degree murder when located, reports the Times-Picayune. According to the court records obtained by The Advocate, Bannister admitted to an unrelated shooting during an investigation which resulted in a guilty plea to a state racketeering case involving a Pigeon Town street gang known as “The Taliban.”

BTY, who possessed a criminal record, left his street ties behind to focus on a music career according to a mentor who spoke to local outlets last month. Things were improving on that front for BTY, this after winning the “Breakthrough Artist of the Year” at the 2016 Nola Music Awards.
