Lil Pump & Smokepurpp Bring XXXTENTACION’s Mom On Stage During "SAD!" Tribute

Miami, FL – Lil Pump and Smokepurpp were performing at the Lit Up Music Festival in Miami over the weekend when they brought out a special guest.

As they began to play XXXTENTACION’s “SAD!” over the speakers, Cleopatra Bernard — the slain rapper’s mother — entered the stage with her arms in an ‘X’ formation.

The crowd cheered while the song continued to play.

At the end of the tribute, Smokepurpp says, “Rest in peace X. We love you, man.”

X was killed on June 18 outside of RIVA Motorsports in Deerfield, Florida during an alleged robbery. Three suspects are currently in custody, including Dedrick Williams, Robert Allen and Michael Boatwright.

Allen was apprehended by U.S. Marshals in Eastman, Georgia last week. A fourth suspect, Trayvon Newsome, remains at large. All four were indicted by a grand jury on charges of first-degree murder with a firearm and armed robbery with a firearm earlier this month.

Shortly after X’s public, open casket memorial, Bernard shared a photo of his final resting place.

He was 20 years old.

Kanye West’s Father Reportedly Diagnosed With Stomach Cancer

Kanye West’s father, Ray West, is reportedly ill. Radar Online spoke to ‘Ye’s former stepmother Cheryl Carmichael West, who confirmed he’s battling stomach cancer.

“His dad is sick with stomach cancer,” Carmichael West said. “He’s getting treatment and from what I understand the treatments are working.”

She revealed Ray was diagnosed last spring.

‘Ye’s father was reportedly spotted recently during a father-son sushi outing at Nobu in Malibu, California. The outlet described him as looking thin and tired.

The G.O.O.D. Music boss lost his mother, Dr. Donda West, in 2007 following cosmetic surgery. Her death is often cited as one of the reasons for his mental breakdown in 2016.

“Kanye was very close to his mother,” Carmichael West said. “One of the things that I recall is that that he never really grieved his mother and went back to work right away.”

Jazz Cartier Drops "Fleurever" Album

Toronto musician Jazz Cartier has provided a fresh new offering for fans with the release of his new album, Fleurever.

Coming in at 16 tracks, Fleurever is low on guest appearances with producer KTOE serving as the only listed feature.

In a past interview with Billboard, Cartier offered some insight into the album’s intriguing name.

“It comes from my nickname in French, which is fleur. Essentially, in my head, or in my world, it’s the flower that will live forever,” Cartier said. “It will just never die. It just has so much energy from everybody for years to come, and it’s my take on that.”

Cartier had previously shared the video for “Which One” earlier in July.

Check out the stream, cover art, and tracklist to Fleurever below.
