Last week, Chose What The Future Brings (CTWFB) radio engaged in a conversation with rappers8 Zippand$hayBand$ to talk about what they’ve been up to since their last interview, upcoming plans for 2024, and more. Throughout the hour and a half podcast, CWTFB host Charlie inquired about the artists’ situation with Shooterz Muzik. 8 Zipp responded, “Kind of like we had this thing going on, but it was just like, man, you seen’t the fucking movies. It’s real simple, and you know what I mean? So I seen it, but I’m not gonna sit here and put whatever I have going on on me on any of them niggas. It ain’t about disconnecting. It’s just about, you know what I mean? Finding, like Shay said, our true potential, you feel me? And we’re always gonna scream where we at, but you know what I mean? It’s just like when you find shit out, there’s no way in the world you’re gonna play yourself.
$hayBand$ then chimed in, “Always know your worth, because it’s taught me that. So I know my worth, and I’m standing on it. Y’all can never feel like there’s a breakup with Shooterz Muzik because I played a major role in Shooterz Muzik. I am who I am to Shooterz Muzik. I’m first lady. If bitches feel like they First Lady in Boston, if bitches feel like they first lady in Mass, Bitch, you ain’t never First Lady. Bitch, I’m the first First Lady.”
Although some may still be confused about the sudden departure of the two artists, it ultimately came down to money. 8 Zipp and fellow ShooterzMuzik founder Chilla engaged in a back-and-forth regarding money owed to the label’s artists acquired from streaming services back in October. Chilla took to Instagram Stories to share his side of the story after CWTFB released footage from their latest interview.
“I don’t do this to badmouth anybody,” 8 Zipp continued. “Especially somebody that I prayed for. Like I told you, for me to even speak about them purposefully, them people, I’m gon’ tell them just like this—you know what the fuck is going on. There’s no way in the world motherfucker say I’m wrong about going about something because I never put a nigga out there still. When you asking me a question, I’m still not gonna put a nigga out there because they know who the fuck they are and it’s never gonna be that way.”
Presumably independent for the time being, 8 Zipp is gearing up to release his next project, “Who Would’ve Thought,” on Friday, January 26, while $hayBand$ recently made an appearance on Rosewood Bape‘s Rose From Nothing LP cut, “Purfect.”
A year ago last week, 8 Zipp and $hayBand$ dropped their collaborative project, ‘Beauty and the Beast.’
In a clever nod to Kendrick’s previous diss, Drake aptly chose to dub his latest diss “The Heart Pt. 6.” Kendrick, who had previously named his diss track “6:16 in LA,” borrowed from Drake’s signature style of titling tracks with timestamps in various cities. Notably, Kendrick Lamar has gained renown for his ongoing “The Heart” series, releasing “The Heart Pt. 5” back in 2022.
The Heart Part 6 out now
And we know you’re dropping 6 mins after so instead of posting my address you have a lot to addresshttps://t.co/hL9tOiuuhh
In his latest diss, Drake unveils revelations about Kendrick being misled regarding Drake’s alleged daughter on “Meet the Grahams.”
“You waited for this momеnt, overcome with the desperation / We plotted for a week and then we fed you the information / A daughter that’s 11 years old, I bet he takes it / We thought about giving a fake name or a destination / But you so thirsty, you not concerned with investigation,” he raps.
He continued with, “You gotta learn to fact check things and be less impatient / Your fans are rejoicing thinkin’ this is my expiration / Even the picture you used, the jokes and the medication / The Maybach glove and the drug he uses for less inflation / Master manipulator, you bid on the speculation.”
Drake also doubles down that Dave Free fathered one of Kendrick’s children and questions why Kendrick hasn’t seen his children in six months.
“And why isn’t Whitney denying all of the allegations? / Why is she following Dave Free and not Mr. Morale? / You haven’t seen the kids in six months, the distance is wild / Dave leaving heart emojis underneath pics of the child,” he raps.
The saga continues as Kendrick has unleashed yet another scathing diss track titled “Not Like Us.” Over Mustard‘s production, Lamar continues to confront Drake, exposing allegations of underage relationships, entanglements with Lil Wayne’s girlfriend, and much more.
The cover art for the single shows Drake’s Toronto mansion with markers typically reserved for identifying sex offenders.
“Say Drake I hear you like em young, to any b*tch that talk to em and they in love, make sure you hide your little sister from em,” Kendrick spits.
On the latest diss track, Kendrick is extremely direct, bringing up Drake’s mother, father, and son. He also reveals that Drake is hiding another child, a baby girl, and doubles down on claims that Drake is dating underage girls.
On Drake’s alleged second child:
“I’d like to say it’s not your fault that he’s hiding another child/Give him grace/That’s the reason I made Mr. Morale.”
Drake’s mother, Sandra:
“Dear Sandra, your son got some habits/I hope you don’t undermine them.”
“Your son’s a sick man with sick thoughts/I think n—-s like him should die/Him and Weinstein should get fucked up in a cell for the rest of they life/ And we’ve gotta raise our daughters knowing there’s predators like him lurkin’/Fuck a rap battle, he should die, so all of these women can live with a purpose.”
Drake’s father, Dennis:
“You raised a horrible fuckin’ person/The nerve of you, Dennis”
