Rapper Snoop Dogg has made it no secret his longstanding disdain for the sitting president Donald Trump, but some say he took a step too far when he – alongside BADBADNOTGOOD & Kaytranada  – recently unveiled the controversial video for ‘Lavendar (Nightfall Remix),’ a visual that sees the Doggfather shoot a toy gun at a clown-faced version of the U.S. Commander-In-Chief (named Ronald Klump).

Trump’s lawyer took to TMZ to call the clip ‘disgraceful’ while Senator Marco Rubio suggested it could encourage assassination attempts on the president.  Their sentiments are far from few as a number of Twitter users took to the social media platform to not only echo, but also damn the Grammy-nominated emcee for his treason and mocking the Donald.  Birthing the trending topic #BoycottSnoopDogg, the Jesse Wellens and James DeFina-directed video got so much traction reports are coming in the U.S. Secret Service is “aware” of the video may be keeping an eye on Snoop (read more on that by clicking here).

Rihanna‘s former flame Travis Scott has found a friend and collaborator in Gentleman’s Quarterly!

Responsible for more Urban smash hits than he is credited for, the maestro rocked GQ’s latest edition with a cover launched to support his 2016 release ‘Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight‘….and his new release ‘AstroWorld.’

It might be the best music that I made. I have two records on the album that are like, man, they are the best. They tore down ‘AstroWorld’ to build more apartment space. That’s what it’s going to sound like, like taking an amusement park away from kids. We want it back. We want the building back. That’s why I’m doing it. It took the fun out of the city.

Exciting times!

At this point, Rihanna‘s name will be so scribbled across music history books they should just categorize everything by “records Rih has broken” and “records Rih has not broken” (we’re sure the latter may only be one page).

Just two weeks after learning her latest release, ‘Love on the Brain,’ broke a Michael Jackson and Madonna Hot 100 record (read more about that by clicking here), the ‘Anti’ songstress has now learned she’s surpassed the stats of another highly revered musical monarch:  King of Rock N’ Roll Elvis Presley.

As we reported here 9 months ago, Rih tied Presley’s historic Hot 100 Top 5 record when her Calvin Harris-helmed hit, ‘This Is What You Came For,’ worked its way into the chart’s upper quintet of positions.  Now, with the upgrade of ‘Brain,’ she leaves the ‘Heartbreak Hotel’ hitmaker in her rearview…
