Joey Bada$$ “The Rev3nge,” Cordae ft. Gunna “Today” & More | Daily Visuals 1.18.22
HipHopWired Featured Video Joey Bada$$ might be good with that $2 million he said 50 Cent gave him to appear in Power Book 3, but that doesn’t mean he’s giving up his regular everyday gig as one of your favorite rappers in the game. Today the Brooklynite returns to where it all started with some new visuals to “The Rev3nge” in which JB preaches to the choir in a house of God where he commits a sin or two before taking to the night in a limo looking like Nino Brown or something.

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Supplied by WENN.com / WENN Last week, we reported that Kanye West and The Game collaborated on their new track, “Eazy,” which included a not-so-subtle diss directed towards comedian and Kim Kardashian’s new boo, Pete Davidson. “God saved me from that crash/ just so I can beat Pete Davidson’s a**,” Yeezus rapped.

But it seems like Kanye’s at least squashed some lingering drama he had with Big Sean as the two were recently spotted leaving the studio together in Los Angeles just a day ago.
