LA Clippers Tease Quavo With A 10 Day Contract

Leave a reply

 

The LA Clippers teased Quavo with a 10 day contract after becoming 2018’s NBA Celebrity Game MVP!!

On Dj Vlad site, they caught Balleralert comment creeping up under Quavo’s twitter post, and pointed out how the L.A. Clippers commented “We got that 10 day contract for you when ever your ready”

This type of announcement should not come off as no surprise for Quavo scored an amazing 19 points during the game that led to his team winning the game! Quavo Huncho had 7-10 FG, 5 rebounds with 3 assists! He almost knocked NBA 2K host, Rachel DeMita, out her shoes when he blocked her shot!

Quavo, being the talk of the night, was so excited about his win that he even brought his MVP trophy out with him to The Beats By Dre party!

Being a major fan of the Migos, I been knew that Quavo was very athletic & during his down time he stays active by continuing to play sports. Quavo, whose real name is, Quavious Marshall, was the starting quarterback for Berkmar High School. During his high school years Quavo led the county in passing yards and set game records.

According to Bleacherreport Quavo’s former coach, John Thompson, believed Quavo was a great player and was quoted as saying “He was a joy to coach; he made it fun,” Thompson adds. “The thing they all had to learn was that for me, to be on time you have to be five minutes early. Quavious would always walk in exactly five minutes early and smile that little grin he has: ‘Coach, I’m here!’ I think sometimes he did it just to aggravate me, but he was always there. He was a prankster.”

Even though the LA Clippers were making a joke, they know that if Quavo was not a part of the Migos, he will prolly take the deal! While watching the game I thought Chris Brown was going to be the show off for the game, like he usually do! SIKE!! Quavo proved me wrong!

I do believe that once the Migos reach a certain level of fame, Quavo will return back to his roots and will start a little league team like Snoop Dogg did years ago. When you’re blessed with talent, its only right to spread those blessings back to our youth for they are our future!!

Jamie Foxx Walks Off During Live ESPN Broadcast

Jamie Foxx walked off during a live ESPN broadcast when host asked about Katie Holmes!

Jamie Foxx, actor, was in the middle of prepping to play for the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game on Friday night until Sport Center’s Michael Smith tried to interview him, but due to asking the wrong question, the interview ended abruptly.

It seemed as if the beginning of the interview was going well! Jamie Foxx was seen in the video saying “I’m ready-made, all you gotta do is add water,” he told an ESPN reporter on the court. “They’re ready to pour some water on me and I’m ready to rock!” until Smith mentioned about photos of Jamie Foxx and rumored girlfriend, Katie Holmes, were seen together playing basketball on Valentines Day. Once mentioned, Foxx, who had on a headset, quickly went to take them off, stood up, smiling at the camera, not uttering one word went back to the court looking like he was ready to play!

“Uh oh, did we lose him?” Smith said as Foxx was seen beginning to stretch out on the court. “Oh, he ready to go, he ready to hoop.”

While the Oscar winner did not return to finish his interview, he did look like he was still in great spirits while standing next to singer, Justin Beiber. SELRES_51b87a0d-fd44-4073-804f-eb1dde24662cTMZSELRES_51b87a0d-fd44-4073-804f-eb1dde24662c made sure to catch the video of the quick interview, which I have posted above.

I have no idea why the media is shocked about Jamie’s reaction, he has always been very private about his personal life! I remember I did not know he had a child until he was nominated for an Oscar back in 2005, and brought her as a date. Think about it….we still have no idea who her mother is! I do respect that he wants to keep the relationship with Katie silent. Their was a time when Katie was constantly in the news about her marriage with Tom Cruise, their child together, and even the break up! I believe she is another individual who prefers to keep her personal relationship quiet too! I can not list off the top of my brain as to whom she dated in her past prior to Tom Cruise!

Well, peers if you did learn anything from Jamie Foxx short interview is to not question about his personal life regardless if he with Katie Holmes or not allow him to be the one to make the initiative! We here at 216 The Beat wish both Katie Holmes & Jamie Foxx the best!

No mention of the track list yet, but we can assume that “Motorsport” featuring Nicki Minaj & Cardi B, and the new club single produced by Pharrell “Stir Fry” will be included on the album.

As for who will be producing the album we will have to wait patiently for that until then Quavo did deny rumors of Kanye West being a guest producer. Well, I am so proud of the Migos, they also are nominated for “Best Rap Album of The Year” catagory for the 2018 60th Grammy awards which will airing live on January 28th at 7:30pm eastern. I also had the pleasure of interviewing hot producer Cash Clay Beats in December regarding being Grammy nominated for his contribution to the album on the single “Kelly Price“.

Leave a reply

21 Savage and Metro Boomin collab “Pause” surfaced online yesterday!

Well….back in 2015, 21 Savage premiered a snippet of the song “Pause” on his Instagram page for we thought back then the song was going to be included on his and Metro Boomin collab album “Savage Mode”, but unfortunately it was not included. Thankfully, World Star Hip Hop decided to post the full version of the song yesterday on its website. I can expect all 21 Savage fans to be excited about this leak due to him sounding like the old Savage fans got know prior to his superstar status. I think it will be another hit for the “Bank Account” rapper who also recently did a collab album with OffSet & Metro Boomin called “Without Warning” back in October 2017. Click here to read more!

Xscape Dropping New EP Without Kandi Burress

Leave a reply

Xscape will be dropping a new EP without member Kandi Burress

Per Ebony, the group Xscape will be coming out with a new EP without Kandi Burress. Even though Kandi wrapped up the tour with the group, she opted to not record any new music with them. The new EP which is titled, Here For It,is due to be released on February 14th and will only feature the remaining members Tameka “Tiny” Cottle, LaTocha Scott, and Tamika Scott. The EP will include six tracks including the two tracks the group released late last year while on tour called “Wifed Up” and “Dream Killa”.


The song “Wifed Up” is a song directed towards telling males that if they have a good woman to wife her up!


“Dream Killa” is about the idea of being in love with someone who keeps doing you wrong therefore killing the dream of being in a happy relationship.

I personally love the song “Dream Killa” and I am overly excited for the group EP to be released. Even without member, Kandi Burress, the remaining three’s vocals are good enough to keep me satisfied with their work.

Now, Kandi did opt to not record any new music with Xscape, but it was not due to any negative drama, its due to her starring as Matron “Mama” Morton in the Broadway play, Chicago that will be running from January 15th to March 11th at the Ambassador Theatre in New York City.

The production will star Tony award nominee, Charlotte D’Amboise as Roxie Hart, original cast member, Leigh Zimmerman as Velma Kelly, YouTube sensation and Broadway star, Todrick Hall as Billy Flynn, Raymond Bokhour as Amos Hart, LaVon Fisher-Wilson as Matron “Mama” Morton, and R. Lowe as Mary Sunshine.

Make sure to purchase a ticket to the play if in New York City to support Kandi for her first Broadway play performance now!! Click here to read more of the article.

Checking In With Grammy Nominated Producer Cash Clay Beats!

1 Reply

I had the pleasure to do a phone interview with Grammy nominated producer, Cash Clay Beats, a couple days prior to Christmas. Being this was my very first interview, I admit I was very nervous, but with the help of Cash Clay Beats positive energy, the vibe during the interview was overall great!

Cash Clay Beats is being nominated for producing the single, Kelly Price, off the The Migos album, The Culture. This will be the producer’s first time ever being nominated for a grammy! According to Cash Clay Beats, he has been doing music for quite some time now, first starting off as just an artist then switching to doing productions only, and shopping his beats around to those he was networking with.

An original St. Louis native, Cash Clay Beats has also produced a couple of songs for K Camp titled “Racks Like This” & “Rob Kardashian”, a single for YFN Lucci that features Trouble that just came out early December, and other songs for Boosie, & even R. Kelly! Cash Clay Beats started off as a barber, which is how he met K Camp! From being a barber is how he learned to network & promote himself. The producer advises up n coming producers to learn how to network! He states ” Sometimes you may have to network with people who are not on the 2 Chainz level, network with anyone who is involved in the music game for you never know who they might know.”

One of Cash Clay Beats goals is to produce movie soundtracks or to even work with artist as such as Katy Perry. Since he originally came from hair cutting, he will like to open up more barber shops & selling merchandise by branding his production company called Street Certified Beat Cartel.

Cash Clay Beats said to be looking out for him in 2018! He has a TV show on Comcast coming out called “The Drop”, three documentaries he is in,a compilation CD with TIG, Think Of The Game Records coming out soon, and to check out his website http://www.cashclaybeats.com for any further ventures or new music.

I know I will definitely be watching the Grammy’s this year especially since this will be the first time no Caucasian artists were nominated for “Album of the Year”, which includes Jay-Z’s the “4:44” album & Kendrick Lamar’s “DAMN”. I wish Cash Clay Beats much blessings & I hope to be writing about his Grammy win!
