HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Marc Piasecki / Getty Kanye West’s beef with Pete Davidson on social media has gone up another notch over the weekend, this time involving Kid Cudi by declaring he won’t be on his upcoming album.

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Paras Griffin / Getty One would think that the days of wannabe artists desperately shopping around a demo tape were a thing of the past. However, P. Diddy found out that the practice is very much alive and well in 2022. According to TMZ, a musician who goes by the name of Smalls went above and beyond the norm to get his demo into the hands of the Bad Boy legend. Smalls not only showed up to Diddy’s L.A. estate to pound on the security gate to get himself attention but eventually hopped over the gate and made his way onto the property. Naturally, things didn’t go too well for 23-year-old rapper born Isaiah Smalls as security stepped in and handled their business. “We’re told Diddy’s security had refused to let him in before he took matters into his own han...
