  • Reason Clarifies Kendrick Lamar ‘GNX’ Comments

    Did Reason throw shade at Kendrick Lamar? Not so fast! The former TDE rapper recently found himself in the middle of online chatter after comments he made on The Bootleg Kev Podcast were seemingly misinterpreted. Let’s clear the air about what he actually said regarding Kendrick’s influential ‘GNX’ project.

    Clarifying the ‘GNX’ Conversation

    During his appearance on the podcast, Reason discussed how Kendrick Lamar’s ‘GNX’ might have influenced the West Coast sound. While he praised Lamar’s ability to make any genre work and expressed his love for the 2024 project, he also noted that not everyone connected with that particular sound. This nuanced take was quickly twisted by some online pages.

    When Bootleg Kev suggested that some featured artists and West Coast artists, in general, didn’t follow up with strong material post-‘GNX,’ Reason partially agreed. He remarked, “If Dot would’ve picked artists that are more consistent in their art to be on there, I feel like post-GNX would’ve went differently.” This comment, however, was misrepresented as a direct criticism of Kendrick’s artist curation.

    Reason’s Response to Misinformation

    Taking to Twitter, Reason directly called out a page that claimed he said Kendrick’s artist curation was poor and that Kendrick failed to fulfill his intentions with ‘GNX.’ “This tweet is SO FAR from what I actually said it’s sick,” Reason wrote. “The internet is a scary place because most ppl will not watch this video. They’ll just read this tweet and respond. Smh.”

    It’s understandable how these kinds of misinterpretations can arise, especially given Reason’s past issues with his former label, TDE. Now enjoying an independent career, Reason is focused on his own music, including his recently released album ‘Moving Towards Love PINK’.

    Focusing on His Own Path

    While rumors of new Kendrick Lamar music continue to swirl, and fans might still debate the dynamics of past label situations, Reason is clearly prioritizing his artistic vision and ensuring his message is heard accurately. He’s making sure folks actually understand him, and there’s no disrespect intended.

  • Blueface: Chrisean Rock Slept With Offset

    The drama surrounding Blueface, Chrisean Rock, Offset, and Cardi B continues to unfold. In a recent appearance on The Bootleg Kev Podcast, Blueface addressed long-standing rumors, confirming that Chrisean Rock allegedly slept with Offset during his marriage to Cardi B.

    Blueface Breaks His Silence

    Blueface, who was released from prison earlier this year, sat down with Bootleg Kev to discuss the controversies surrounding his life. A significant portion of the conversation focused on his tumultuous past relationship with Chrisean Rock and the allegations that she was involved with Offset. These rumors first surfaced about two years ago, with Blueface claiming they were together at the time.

    While both Offset and Chrisean Rock initially denied the allegations, Cardi B reportedly took them as a sign and ended her relationship with the Migos rapper. Now, with Cardi B and Offset’s divorce proceedings underway, the resurfaced claims have gained new attention. Blueface stated on the podcast (around the 56:30 mark), ‘Yeah, she got f***ed,’ referring to Chrisean and Offset’s alleged encounter. He clarified that he and Chrisean were not together at that point and he was already engaged to someone else, so he ‘didn’t care’ about the situation itself.

    The Motivation Behind the Claims

    Blueface explained that his decision to bring up the allegations stemmed from Chrisean Rock’s attempts to make him appear jealous. He suggested that she engaged in certain behaviors, like hanging out with other rappers, to provoke a reaction. ‘My whole thing was, once you become an artist, certain s**t is frowned upon,’ he remarked, noting that while networking and studio sessions are fine, some actions seem designed to exploit a ‘buzz.’

    He further elaborated that his public statement about the Offset situation was primarily a response to Chrisean allegedly calling him gay. ‘The only reason I put that out there is ’cause she [said], ‘Oh, he’s gay,” he told Bootleg Kev. He emphasized that his issue wasn’t with the act itself, but with ‘when you try to portray it as something else.’

    • Blueface confirmed Chrisean Rock allegedly slept with Offset.

    • Blueface stated he and Chrisean were not together at the time.
