This week in Hip Hop, Kendrick Lamar’s DAMN. tears up the charts as consumers and critics back the Compton rapper’s fourth studio album. Also, Drake gets into all types of mess, from a model claiming to be pregnant with his baby to claiming he was racially profiled at a country club during his Coachella stay, among other happenings. Lastly, T.I. and Tiny’s relationship makes headlines again over Bernice Burgos.

Kendrick Lamar “HUMBLE.” Hits Billboard

Kendrick Lamar’s “HUMBLE.” had the highest Billboard Hot 100 Hip Hop debut since 2010, inserting itself into the #2 position on the chart. It was the appetizing record TDE fans had until DAMN.‘s release on April 14. DAMN. actually pushed over 600,000 in equivalent album units (including around 300 million streams), beating out Drake’s More Life.

The excitement surrounding DAMN.’s debut is still on a euphoric high. Although we didn’t get that theoretical Easter Sunday album, and willwon’t be getting new K.Dot music, he did put on a pretty lit Coachella performance.

Yet, nothing was more exhilarating than watching Kung Fu Kenny and Don Cheadle act out the lyrics to “DNA.”

Drake’s Problems

Besides getting dethroned by Kendrick Lamar for the highest-selling album of 2017, Drake’s week was swarmed with drama.

First, an Instagram model by the name of Layla Lace claimed that she was carrying Drake Jr. in her womb. She provided receipts too and blasted the Toronto superstar for dodging her after presenting him with the news. Now Drake’s team has denied the claims and the woman’s IG account has disappeared.

Not only that, YOLO Estates was burglarized by a thirsty fan who stole Pepsi, Sprite and Fiji water while the “Passionfruit” rapper was at Coachella. The 24-year-old intruder also took the opportunity to comb Drizzy’s bedroom and play dress up in one of his hoodies before she was caught by one of his friends. Originally charged with a felony, Aubrey contacted the Los Angeles D.A. office and asked for the charges to be dropped.

Furthermore, Drake’s stay at Coachella didn’t go without problems as well. The 6 God and his crew chose to stay at The Madison Club in La Quinta, California and says he was met with racism. “The most offensive place I have ever stayed at in my life with staff who pick and choose who they are going to accommodate based on racial profiling,” Drake wrote in the caption to his since-deleted Instagram post.

Fans took it as a sign to ravage the uber-exclusive country club’s Yelp and Facebook pages with less than favorable reviews. The Madison Club’s Facebook rating is currently sitting at a mere 2.7 stars.

Tiny and Bernice had previously gone back and forth on social media over Tip. Bernice took to her own social media networks and made unsolicited comments about Tiny and T.I.’s marriage.

“He’s not even with her, first of all,” Tiny said. “And she had nothing to do with whatever was going on with us before, anyway. We were already going through whatever we were going through. She just came in the picture after I filed for divorce.”

Tiny says she had to check Tip about his sideline chick staying quiet.
