G-Eazy’s current European tour hasn’t got off to the best start. After the tour’s opening night in Stockholm, G-Eazy hit the club for the after-party and was allegedly acting wild before throwing punches at a security guard, hitting one guard in the face several times.
TMZ obtained video of G-Eazy being loaded into the police car, while girlfriend/singer Halsey is heard in the background about getting hit in the face (TMZ was told Halsey may have been struck by a security guard). When detained, police allegedly discovered cocaine in the rapper’s pocket.

After his interview with Charlamagne Tha God started to answer a lot of question fans had for Kanye West’s recent controversial support for President Donald Trump, Kanye found himself back in the fire of controversy after his visit with TMZ Live.
Engaging in a discussion with the TMZ Newsroom, Kanye West said the following:
“When you hear about slavery for 400 years, for 400 years? That sounds like a choice? You were there for 400 years and it’s all of ya’ll? We’re mentally imprisoned. I like the word ‘prison’, because slavery goes too direct to the idea of blacks. So prison is something that unites us as one race.”
While Kanye certainly could have articulated his point in a better way, given the greater context of his “slavery sounds like a choice” soundbite, it was evident that Kanye was not literally saying that slaves had a choice of whether or not they were slaves, rather there is a notion of mental imprisonment that people face. Kanye articulated this point further on Twitter, following the TMZ appearance.
So while the context of Kanye’s TMZ quote and his following tweets show that Kanye West was not literally saying slaves had a choice, of course the internet (and now many musicians and celebrities) ran with the out-of-context quote to attack Kanye. On May 2nd, 2018, Kanye is as hated as he has ever been, all because his was trying to unite people.
One person who has since come to Kanye’s defense is TMZ’s Harvey Levin, who shared a conversation with himself and senior producer, Van Lathan, who stood up on-air to Kanye over his comments. Levin puts Kanye’s now famous and controversial soundbite into context and shows a lot of empathy for how media outlets have since picked up the quote and attacked Kanye. Levin admitted he has not slept since people’s takeaway from the conversation is that Kanye thinks slavery was a choice.

After about a million tweets and highly publicized support for Present Trump, fans have had a ton of unanswered questions when it comes to Kanye West. And today those same fans received answers to many of their questions, as Kanye took to YouTube to share his anticipated interview with Charlamagne Tha God.
Speaking on Donald Trump, Obama, Jay-Z, Virgil Abloh, mental health and more, Kanye West gave fans a very person window into his last year.
One thing that will give Yeezy’s more liberal fans a ton of comfort is when Kanye opened up about his recent support of President Trump. When describing a Kanye West run for presidency, Ye described it as a “Trump campaign with maybe the Bernie Sanders principles.” Kanye reiterated that Donald Trump becoming president showed him that he could one day become president, which clearly resonates a lot with Kanye. Although fans don’t like seeing Kanye in a MAGA hat, they should take comfort in knowing that Kanye West doesn’t agree with the majority of Trump’s controversial policies and political views.
It’s also not entirely surprising to see Kanye to move away from the Democratic Party, after hearing how Kanye was affected by interactions with President Obama. Not only was Kanye upset when video leaked of Obama calling West an asshole (with no apology after), but Kanye also shared a story of when he performed for an Obama fundraiser, but the President left right before Kanye performed, with no explanation. Let’s hope the two can talk and mend things real soon.

We shouldn’t really need to spell out reasons of why you need to attend Rolling Loud this year, the stacked lineup practically sells itself, but we’re going to anyways.
Not only is the rap music festival in Miami arguably the best music festival of the year (for a second straight year), but fans will have opportunities to hear a bunch of exclusive performances for the first time. From La Flame to Postey and more, you can expect a number of artists to make some live debuts at Rolling Loud.
Check out our list of our five reasons you can’t miss Rolling Loud 2018 below.
It’s the best festival lineup of the year

Let’s be real, for the second straight year, Rolling Loud’s Miami festival has the best lineup of all music festivals. Perhaps even the greatest rap festival lineup of all-time, this year’s lineup boasts performances from Future, J. Cole, Travis Scott, Lil Wayne, N.E.R.D., Lil Uzi Vert, Young Thug, Post Malone, Russ and many more. From Friday to Sunday, start to finish, Rolling Loud has the best rappers in the game right now!

Post Malone is celebrating the release of his brand new album, Beerbongs and Bentleys, and fans will get a chance to hear Post perform the album’s tracks live at Rolling Loud this year. Don’t be surprised if Post Malone makes a number of live performance debuts from the new LP in Miami next month.
New music from Travis Scott?

Travis Scott possibly had the best set at Rolling Loud last year, and you should expect him to deliver the same energy for his performance this year. Anything can happen at the night show, even the debut of new music. Travis Scott told fans on Twitter today that this week is the week that fans eat, which likely means new music. Scott and Kanye West hinted at the release of a brand new collaboration with Lil Uzi Vert, so perhaps La Flame and Uzi will perform the track at Rolling Loud. Wishful thinking!
The undercard is ridiculously good

It’s not just the headliners that make Rolling Loud 2018 so great! A simply review of the festival poster will show you how deep the lineup really is this year. You shouldn’t only be excited for J. Cole and Travis Scott, you also need to get excited for Smino, Jaden Smith, Juvenile, Bas, Lil Xan, Wifisfuneral and J.I.D. to name a few.
Be one of the first to hear KOD live

J. Cole just released his new record breaking album, KOD, and it’s an instant fan favorite. Cole’s loyal fan base will definitely come in waves for Rolling Loud 2018, and Rolling Loud will be Cole’s first U.S. performance since releasing the album. Therefore it will be your first chance to hear the new LP live and in person. Needless to say, you’ll want to be at Rolling Loud in person as J. Cole shuts thing down on Friday night.

Bon Jovi was the first act to sell out the Bradley Center (now the “BMO Harris Bradley Center”) nearly 30-years ago for the Milwaukee arena’s first concert season. So it was only right that the New Jersey rock icons brought their “This House Is Not For Sale Tour” to the downtown arena for it’s last concert ever.
After the Milwaukee Bucks lost a hard fought game 7 to the Boston Celtics, and therefore did not advance in the NBA playoffs, the stage was set for Sunday night, making the night’s event the last ever fan event in the Bradley Center (only a Northwestern Mutual conference will follow).
Needless to say, a lot of emotions filled the sold-out building for fans young and old. So many memories were made in the 30-year-old building, and a lot of them included Bon Jovi. Sunday night marked Bon Jovi’s sixth ever performance at the arena, and when the building is demolished in the following months, only fellow New Jersey native Bruce Springsteen will have performed at the Bradley Center more times.
With such an historic night, expectations were at an all time high for Jon Bon Jovi and company. The newest inductees to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Bon Jovi are rock legends who have found a second home in Milwaukee over the decades. And Bon Jovi certainly did not disappoint.
Performing cuts from their 2016 album, This House Is Not For Sale, and of course their catalog of hits from the ’80s and beyond, Bon Jovi rocked out with their Wisconsin fans from start to finish. And what better way to end the performance than Jon Bon Jovi going down into the crowd to perform the band’s 1992 single ‘Bed of Roses’, and a memorable encore performance of ‘Wanted Dead or Alive’ and ‘Livin’ on a Prayer’, two of the band’s biggest hits.
While on the surface tonight was just another stop on Bon Jovi’s current tour, the night was so much more for the city of Milwaukee, and fans in attendance experienced a night that they will not soon forget.

The rapper formerly known as “Krispy Kreme”, aka the one and only Froggy Fresh, invaded Reggie’s Rock Club in Chicago last night for his headlining tour across the country. Known first for his viral music video ‘The Baddest’, which amassed millions of views upon its release, Froggy Fresh has kept his hustle and continued to create some Grade A content through the years.
With Money Maker Mike by his side, the rapper’s trusty sidekick who single handedly made Mac Miller’s merch cool, Froggy Fresh delivered an entertaining performance for a packed crowd of his Windy City fans. Although neither are from Chicago, the duo famously repped the hometown Chicago Bulls in their hit ‘Dunked On’, so it was only right that Chicago embraced the pair at Reggie’s Saturday night.
Last night’s setlist consisted of all the fan favorites, from Froggy’s “Krispy Kreme” days with ‘The Baddest’ and ‘Haters Wanna Be Me’, to his more recent tracks (which feature some of the best story telling in rap) like ‘Dunked On’ and his ‘Stolen Bikes’ series. Froggy Fresh even made the live debut of his new track ‘Prank Call’.
Froggy’s tracks and videos are remarkably fun and addictive, leaving fans left to wonder whether Froggy Fresh is a joker or a genius. The truth is likely a little bit of both.
Froggy Fresh has co-signs from everyone, from John Cena to Mac Miller, and of course his dedicated fans who filled the venue last night while asking “Why Is James crying?” Do yourself a favor and see Froggy Fresh in 2018 to find the answer to that question, at one of his many tour dates across the U.S.
