Show # 226 - Shots Fired!

As we continue to deal with COVID-19, the news and bullsh%$! don't stop, lol! In very unfortunate news, Megan Thee Stallion was shot multiple times Sunday morning in the Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles, July 12, and presently is recovering from her wounds. The rapper detailed the ordeal on Instagram. The alleged incident occurred the same weekend that Tory Lanez was arrested on gun charges. Snoop Dogg and DMX are the two latest artists to face off in Swizz Beatz and Timbaland's Verzuz battle on social media. DMX had been angling for a battle with Jay Z, whom he has a long history in rap with, but Jay has remained silent. Snoop has also revealed that he wanted to battle Jay. July 22nd it's about to go down!! In 2017, it was revealed that Kanye West trademarked the name and idea for Yezzy Sound - a new streaming service. Over the weekend, Kanye shared what appeared to be a roster of artists that would initially be featured on Yeezy Sound, if it ever really launches. G.O.O.D. Music’s CyHi The Prince, his cousin Tony Williams, Pusha-T, No Malice’s Clipse, Abstract Mindstate (a Hip-Hop duo out of Mississippi), and of course, ‘Ye, himself. It’s reportedly a fusion of exclusive video content, music, and a TV streaming platform, one that would rival some of the big dogs, including TIDAL, Apple Music, and Spotify. There have been no confirmed plans of the platform's launch. Could be interesting? The search for Glee actress and former girlfriend to rapper “Big Sean” Naya Rivera is over, now that the police have recovered the actress's body. Naya went missing last Wednesday (July 8th) after she took her son Josey on a pontoon boat ride on Lake Piru. A massive search began when the four-year-old was found on the pontoon boat by himself in a life preserver, asleep. R.I.P. On Tuesday, Vanity Fair released their July/ August cover, which features none other than Viola Davis. The cover was shot by Dario Calmese, who has become the first black photographer to shoot a Vanity Fair cover. The photo of Viola shows her wearing a gorgeous blue dress that shows her bare back. According to The Hill, the image is meant to channel the slave portraits taken by Louis Agassiz in the 1880s, in which they were photographed with their backs towards the camera showing off their scars.
