Travis Scott Visits Michael Jordan’s Crib In His Latest Visuals To “FRANCHISE”
Source: Vevo / Youtube While heads are out here trying to win one of those five limited edition Travis Scott McDonalds figures (why all his stuff gotta be limited though?), La Flame continues to do what he does best: music. Premiering at IMAX theaters ahead of showings for Christopher Nolan’s TENET, Travis Scott’s visuals for “FRANCHISE” was shot on location at Michael Jordan’s glorious Chicago estate and features Cactus Jack, Young Thug and M.I.A playing golf, flaunting cars, and enjoying some pool action at the G.O.A.T.’s private property. Well, Travis and Thug were living it up anyway. M.I.A. was somewhere where the sheep roam free and the flowers are made into garments. We’re lowkey disappointed we didn’t get a look at MJ’s sneaker closet. Y’all know Mike must have all kinds of heat we...

During an interview with DJ Vlad for Vlad TV, Charlamagne was asked about Gucci calling Angela a “Punk a** b*tch” and how it affected his friendship with Angela Yee when he didn’t push back on the slander. “It wasn’t a good affect...

One artist, in particular, Ma$e, came with the receipts in an Instagram post calling out Yeezy for his hypocrisy. If you remember, on the track “Devil in a New Dress,” West spoke on Ma$e’s sudden exit from the rap game, “don’t leave while your hot, that’s how Ma$e screwed up.” Now the “Feel So ...

Amazon decided to wait a bit later before it opened up its site to pre-orders and technically did wait till the 17th dropping its link at the stroke of midnight.
