Lil Nas X, Da Baby Drops a New Album and More in the Monday Morning Spill

Lil Nas X hopped on Twitter to let fans who planned to attend Twitchcon and/or the Sandbox Music Festival that he would not be performing – or even in the building.

His announcement comes not too long after Queen Barb, Nicki Minaj, announced her retirement from the industry to focus on family. Luckily, that retirement was not retroactive and her feature on “iPHONE”, a song off KIRK, which was released by Da Baby on Friday.

The album gives fans a new look into how Jonathan has matured in success since his debut, Baby on Baby. Other features on the album include, Migos, Lil Baby and Kevin Gates, who dropped a project of his own titled I’m Him the same day.

Angie Martinez has a hit on her hands with Untold Hip-Hop Stories, as the pilot bolstered some juicy, behind-the-scenes information on LBC representative, Snoop Dogg, and Cardi B. An extended trailer of the series bolsters A$AP Rocky, Nelly, Fat Joe and Queen Latifah. The show airs on WE TV, Thursday at 10 pm.

Promoter Van Silk used Facebook to relay information of the passing of hip-hop legend, Jimmy Spicer. Spicer was diagnosed last year with stage 4 brain cancer and lung cancer and his condition began to turn for the worse. His daughter started a GoFundMe page to absorb the costs for his care and those funds will now be used for his burial. At the ripe age of 61, Spicer remained an active member of the hip-hop community he contributed to and was praised for as much in remembrance.

Megan Thee Stallion is rolling into Hot Girl Fall flashing some his and hers drip that she procured from Iceman Nick for Moneybagg Yo’s 28th birthday. The pieces are half-hearts, covered in ice, and appropriately rested upon two individual chains – one for the hot girl, one for the hot boy. According to TMZ, the price tag for the matching set was about $150K.

Swae Lee took a little tumble at a performance on what appears to be a bar top Friday night. One little fall doesn’t stop the show, as Lee ended up right back on the counter, with his shirt off and a fan-owned Hennessy bottle in hand. And that my friends, is the perfect way to cap a good week.

So much to talk about, but so little time.
