Atlanta rapper 2 Chainz has come forward to publicly apologize to hip-hop personality Big Tigger for allegedly spreading a rumor about him being physically assaulted this week.
Chainz took the L and admitted he had jumped the gun on Instagram Monday (March 7).
Big Tigger addressed the aftermath on his Instagram page yesterday (March 7).
This week, 2 Chainz talked about releasing his new Lil Wayne collaborative ColleGrove album.
“[Why the secret?] I think that’s the new way to promote and market things. The original way or the old way was to set a date to get the fans excited about putting the project out and then doing marketing and promo leading up to the album. But today’s youth’s attention span is so short I felt like I could just put out an album and the impulse of it being a surprise album would drive them to buy the project. So it’s called ColleGrove. … This album is my album but it’s like my dedication to him – I have a great relationship with Cash Money/Young Money. He’s like my brother, my friend, actually my favorite rapper. So I just felt like it was time to put out a project or somebody to just acknowledge the fact that he had a lot to do with moving the culture to where it is now.” (“The Wendy Williams Show”)
The new album is expected to sell at least 35,000 copies in its opening week.
One of Friday’s two sneak attacks, Kendrick Lamar’s untitled unmastered project, looks headed for a resounding #1 on the forthcoming HITS Album Sales and SPS charts.
Kendrick Lamar (TDE/Interscope) 140-150k album, 175-185k SPS
2 Chainz (Def Jam) 35-45k, 55-65k
Ninja Sex Party (Ninja Sex Party) 24-27k (HITS Daily Double)
