Pop Smoke’s Family Thankful For Travis Scott’s Dior Collab

-

If you missed it this week, Travis Scott’s Cactus Jack company partnered up with Dior at Paris Fashion Week and launched an exclusive Dior collection, including a new shirt which payed homage to the late rapper Pop Smoke, who loved the brand Dior and rapped about often. The shirt featured Pop's face on the front and lyrics from his popular song on the back (see below).

Well following the exclusive shirt release, Pop Smoke’s family is speaking out and thankful for the collab, believing it could be the first of more to come. Pop Smoke’s brother, Obasi Jackson, spoke with TMZ recently and said him and his mother were appreciative for the love he showed.

“Me personally, I definitely appreciate the love he's trying to give and create around Pop with his new music coming out.” He later continued, "thank you so much for being a part of his legacy, continuing to support and love. We appreciate the sentiment that Travis Scott put out with his t-shirt and that he put his creative essence together to put a Pop Smoke shirt with Dior.” Watch the clip (below) and cop the shirt right here.

In other related news, Pop Smoke’s estate is gearing up to release another album from the late rapper on July 16th. The first posthumous album Shoot For The Stars, Aim For The Moon can be streamed right here. 

R.I.P. Pop Smoke.

Chicago Mom Charged After Son, 8, Takes Gun To School & It Accidentally Goes Off: Report

-
Charges have been set against a Chicago mother after her child was somehow sent to school with a firearm in his backpack. Because minors are involved names have yet to be released publicly, but it was reported by The Associated Press that an eight-year-old boy went to class at Walt Disney Magnet School on Chicago's North Side with a gun in his bag. It was reportedly around 10:00 a.m. yesterday (May 17) when the firearm discharged inside of the child's classroom, striking another student. A seven-year-old classmate was grazed in the abdomen after a bullet ricocheted off of the floor, but he was treated and reportedly was in good condition when he was transported to the hospital. "The student said his mother's boyfriend put the gun in the bag," police dispatch relayed. "One student has some kind of  scrape on his stomach but they don't know how or where it happened and they did not want an ambulance." The child's grandmother, Edwina Watkins,

Kimya Dawson has released a song about Aesop Rock's emotional abuse towards her

-
This is almost two weeks old but I didn't see any discussion about it here so I thought it was worth sharing. It is NOT released in relation to Aesop having a new album coming out, as this was uploaded before he had announced or made any teasers. The song, Whisperers , was posted alongside a caption that read "I’m not self righteous and I’m not perfect by any means. I don’t expect perfection from anyone but I’d like to see some real fucking effort. I have done fucked up things in my life that I will regret forever but I recognize that and that remorse helps me grow and do better. It’s fucking hard. I know that. And I don’t want an apology. I don’t care who gets dropped or cancelled. I want dudes to stop being the gatekeepers who enable abusive behavior. And in the meantime I want those gatekeepers to stop pretending that they don’t know what they know. I want to see men held accountable rather than nurtured in environments that make them think they can keep getting away w
