Sexyy Red Reveals Chief Keef And Kayla B Drama Was Simply A Genius Promotional Tactic

Sexyy Red is clearly handling her massive success quite well, inviting controversy and speculation to further her own rollout goals and image. Moreover, you might have heard that she and Kayla B (King Von's sister) got into some salacious social media spats over Chief Keef, being that both of them claimed to be romantically involved with him. However, it looks like all that (at least, on Sexyy's behalf) was just for show, as she recently previewed a Maury-parodying music video for her remix collab with Sosa, "Bow Bow Bow (F My Baby Mama)." It's a reimagining of her original hit, "Bow Bow Bow (F My Baby Dad)."

Furthermore, it seems like all the Internet attacks and jokes about polyamory were just that: jokes and antics to get us invested. It's a pretty smart scheme, albeit one that risked actually driving a wedge in between Sexyy Red, Chief Keef, and Kayla B. But we're sure that the music video will at least be a pretty comical and entertaining visual treatment, so all's well that ends well. We just hope that King Von's sister got the memo and that they're all a part of this together. If they're not, that's when things could really get messy.

Sexyy Red Teases New Music Video

Regardless, Sexyy Red is also going on tour soon, so she's understandably got a lot to promote and move with. However, this provided a pretty stark contrast compared to how other celebrities in the rap game choose to handle their extracurricular antics and headlines. While other artists seem more comfortable with keeping that drama at arm's length of their art and career, the St. Louis native knows the strength of using both in tandem. It hasn't always been a successful experiment, but it's been much better than many predicted.

Meanwhile, the "N.P.O." MC has a lot more to look forward to this year. Maybe she's actually pregnant again as she teased with this music video snippet, but at this point, who knows? Nevertheless, Sexyy Red definitely has a great marketing team behind her, or this was just the stars aligning and blessing her with an extra boost. As long as she can capitalize on that, then she'll handle future antics as swimmingly as this one.

Tyler, The Creator is getting copyright strikes lifted so fans can react to ‘Chromakopia’ on social media

Tyler, The Creator has revealed that he’s trying to get copyright strikes lifted so that fans can react to his new album in full on social media.

Following the release of his latest album ‘Chropmakopia’ in late October, fans of Tyler, The Creator have been sharing their reactions to the record on social media. However, many of said fans have begun experiencing copyright strikes and blocked for their content, with either the sound being removed from their videos, or the videos and accounts being taken down completely.

Now, the rapper has assured a fan on Instagram that his team are working on getting the copyright strikes lifted so that complete reactions can be shared on social media without penalty. In response to one fan flagging copyright bans, Tyler commented, per SleepingOnGems: “Gonna make sure the block gets lifted man, hit my squad up early this am”.

The fan later responded saying: “Video is up and all blocks lifted. Appreciate you helping”.

 

Earlier this year, in the midst of their heated feud, both Kendrick Lamar and Drake had waived all copyright stipulations from their diss tracks targeted at each other, resulting in the mass reacting and sharing of their songs on social media.

In May 2023, Grimes criticised the use of copyright in regards to music: “Copyright sucks. Art is a conversation with everyone that’s come before us. Intertwining it with the ego is a modern concept. The music industry has been defined by lawyers, and that strangles creativity.

“I think everything about copyright is problematic,” Grimes added. “There’s too much top down control. In the early days of TikTok there was a lot of weird music going viral, but now the gatekeeping stranglehold means less interesting stuff coming out.”

In the wake of the ‘Chromakopia’ release, Tyler has announced more dates for his massive ‘Chromakopia’ world arena tour. He’s added three shows in his hometown of Los Angeles, along with New York, Austin, and Seattle, while adding on to his European leg with another Paris date. Australia has also received three new shows on the tour.

In NME’s three-star review of ‘Chromakopia’, Fred Garratt-Stanley wrote: “Within the chaos [of the album], there’s beauty — the sensitivity of ‘Hey Jane’, the infectious hip-hop bite of ‘Thought I Was Dead’, the rising cacophonies of brass and percussion on ‘I Killed You’. But perhaps a less frantic approach would’ve benefited the listen overall.”
