NBA YoungBoy has announced a new album titled, I Just Got A Lot On My Shoulders. Sharing the cover artwork on Instagram, Sunday, he confirmed that the project will be dropping at some point in 2024, but didn't provide an exact date. "I just got a lot on my shoulder [top hat emoji] ?/?/24," he captioned the post.
In addition to fans sharing plenty of excitement and calls for him to drop the project, others commented on how frequently he's been releasing albums. "You can never get tired of dropping," one fan wrote. Others were disappointed in the cover artwork. "He just don’t care no more his album covers even showing that," another user responded.
The announcement of I Just Got A Lot On My Shoulders comes just under two weeks after putting out his latest album, Compliments Of Gravedigger Mountain. Following the release of that project, YoungBoy listed his mansion in Salt Lake City, Utah for sale at $5.5 million. Outside of music, he's currently preparing for trial in the federal gun case for which he's been under house arrest for several years. The United States Attorney for the Middle District of Louisiana recently filed a motion claiming the rapper violated his pre-trial release conditions. "The undersigned has learned that the defendant has violated Condition Number (10) and has informed his supervising officer that he has no intentions to discontinue using the substance that resulted in the violation," they wrote.
His trial will be kicking off in July of this year. Be on the lookout for further updates on NBA YoungBoy and his upcoming album on HotNewHipHop.
Perry Farrell has released another public apology following an on-stage confrontation involving his bandmate Dave Navarro.
The Jane's Addiction frontman was involved in a physical altercation with guitarist Dave Navarro last year during a live performance, an incident that prompted the band to cancel their reunion tour and eventually led to their split.
“I'd like to address what happened on stage last year,” Perry, 66, said in a statement shared across both his personal Instagram account and Jane's Addiction’s official page. “I've reflected on it and know I didn't handle myself the way I should have. I apologize to our patrons and my bandmates for losing my temper and for disrupting the show.”
He went on to admit that he did not meet fan expectations and described himself as deeply remorseful toward everyone impacted by the incident.
“Jane's Addiction has been at the center of my life for decades. The band, the songs, the patrons, and the impact that we've had on music and culture mean more to me than any words I could ever possibly write down,” he shared.
“My aim has always been to give our audience the best possible show, something real, honest and positive. In Boston, we fell short of that, and I'm truly sorry to everyone who was impacted.”
Jane's Addiction also issued its own statement regarding the altercation, which ultimately led to the group’s remaining members filing a lawsuit against Perry alleging assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, and breach of contract.
“Today we are here to announce that we have come together one last time to resolve our differences, so that the legacy of Jane's Addiction will remain the work the four of us created together,” the band wrote, signaling that the group would not move forward with Perry. “We now look forward to the future as we embark on our separate musical and creative endeavors.”
