Pusha T Claims Drake Is A Deadbeat Dad On "The Story Of Adidon" Diss Track

Hot 97’s Funkmaster Flex aired Pusha T’s response to Drake’s seething diss track on Tuesday (May 29) titled “The Story Of Adidon.”

Over JAY-Z’s beat for “The Story Of O.J.,” the G.O.O.D Music president accuses Drake of hiding a son and being a “deadbeat” father. He also says he’s “angry and full of lies” as he tells Drizzy’s father Dennis Graham to “stay off the ‘Gram.”

Pusha goes on to allege the Toronto superstar has a hidden son with nude video model Sophie Brussaux. She reportedly said the conception took place in January and accused the 6 God of ordering her to get an abortion.

The back-and-forth kicked off last week when Pusha fired shots at Drake and Cash Money CEO Bryan “Birdman” Williams on the DAYTONA cut “Infrared” and Drake retaliated with the “Duppy Freestyle.”

Turkish Rapper Ezhel Arrested For Allegedly Promoting Drug Use With Lyrics

Turkish rapper Ezhel was arrested on May 25 for the charge of “promoting use of drugs,” according to The Independent. The arrest came after he was released on probation last month.

Ezhel’s manager Riza Okcu told The Independent, “writing a song cannot be a crime — the government should arrest the real criminals. Rap music tells the truth about what happens in the streets.”

Ezhel can face five to ten years in prison for promoting drug use, according to Bianet. With support from fans and popular venue Babylon, the hashtag #FreeEzhel was trending at #1 in Turkey on the night of his arrest.

KOVL, a collective Ezhel started with producers Buggy and DJ Artz, stated that Ezhel turned himself in on the charge.

The 28-year-old MC from Ankara, Turkey is scheduled to perform with Wiz Khalifa on July 4 at Küçükçiftlik Park in Turkey and at the Sziget Festival in Hungary in August.

Watch his most recent music video, which has over 32 million views, and stream his latest project below.

Beatboxers In Wheelchairs Creating Highlights During R.A. The Rugged Man’s Euro Tour

Anyone following rapper R.A. the Rugged Man via Twitter is aware of how much of an open book he is — especially when it comes to showing love to his loyal fanbase. Currently on tour in Europe, he’s been sharing his experiences including what’s becoming a trend involving accessibility and beatboxing.

“This physically disabled man was wheelchair bound at my show,” he tweeted following a show in Bergen, Norway. “I asked if there was a beatboxer in the crowd and he raised his hand … I gave him the microphone, and he KILLED IT. Best beatboxer of the tour.”

That beatboxer — Charles Kirby, who also goes by the moniker Chairman Furbz — is an aspiring MC and didn’t take the moment lightly.

“Big moment,” he wrote on his Instagram. “Thanks again, Rugged … from one head to another.”

That story ended up inspiring another man, named Alexander Peterson, to show up at a tour date to beatbox for R.A., who took to Twitter to share his excitement.

“The other day I posted footage of a disabled man in a wheelchair beatboxing at my show … so my next show in a completely different country fans brought another disabled man in a wheelchair to beatbox.”

“I hope this is a new trend at my shows because it’s a beautiful thing,” he added. R.A.’s US tour, alongside A-F-R-O, kicks off June 4 in Rochester, New York.

Lil Xan Dedicates “Heartbreak Soldiers” Mixtape To His Fans & Dog

Lil Xan has revealed the cover art for his upcoming mixtape, Heartbreak Soldiers.

The burgeoning Redlands, California rapper hit Instagram to unveil the cover, and disclose who he’s dedicating the project to.

“This Tape is dedicated to my beautiful fans and my old dog Butters ! I miss ya butters lol,” Xan wrote in his post’s caption field.

As of press time, details surrounding Xan’s upcoming mixtape remain scarce, though he did hint at a potential Fetty Wap collaboration last week. In the same post, he also suggested 808 Mafia members Southside and TM88 may be among the project’s producers. He also teased a collab with Lil Skies earlier this month.

Heartbreak soldiers mixtape finished ? S/o my bro @fettywap1738 @808mafiaboss @tm88 @wheezyx5 F got something crazy coming soon ! ??????”

A post shared by ?DIEGO?HEARTBREAK SOLDIER? (@xanxiety) on May 21, 2018 at 2:10pm PDT

Xan released his debut album, TOTAL XANARCHY, in early April. The project received a 3.5 out of 5 from HipHopDX, with Editor-in-Chief Trent Clark writing, “The tirelessly lit debut album will go the distance in separating his talent from his nameless peers but won’t propel him to the same ranks of a Travis Scott or Rae Sremmurd just yet.”

Xan also made headlines earlier this year for his controversial views on 2Pac. During a February interview with REVOLT, Xan called Pac’s music “boring.” His comments angered many and Waka Flocka Flame even called for him to be “banned from Hip Hop.”

Check out the cover art for Heartbreak Soldiers below.
