Earlier this week, Dody6 took to social media to make a surprising revelation about his financial situation and call out his "Hey Now" collaborator Kendrick Lamar. “N***a I lost my house. I’m homeless. On Crip, I admit that sh*t,” he announced. “I fell down. I’ma bounce back up though, watch this. It’s all good, cuh.”
He went on to address those suggesting he should be in a better position due to his appearance on GNX, claiming that it didn't change his circumstances at all.
“N***a that f*cking song with Kendrick ain’t change sh*t. What the f*ck does that change n***a?” he asked. “I’m still from 40s. I’m still over here. You act like a n***a got a million dollars for that sh*t. The f*ck? Only thing a n***a got is some clout and f*ck clout!”
Adam22 later shared screenshots of some text messages he exchanged with Dody6, which were concerning, to say the least.
“Post that sh*t now. Why you not answering?” he texted the No Jumper host. In response, Adam22 told Dody6 he was busy, and to let him know what he wanted to tell people. "Bro post I’m on meth. Idgaf. Post Dody is on meth and say k dot is a b*tch ain’t tapping in," he wrote.
Now, however, it looks like Dody6 has had a change of heart. Today, he hopped online to apologize to Kendrick, and to say that his impact on his life has been nothing but positive. “I WANNA PUBLICLY APOLOGIZE TO Kendrick Lamar for CALLIN Cuz ah b*tch," his message reads, per a screenshot shared by NFR Podcast on X. “He Is Far FROM THAT & Ain't Did Nothing But Bless Me n My Life.”
For now, it remains unclear what exactly prompted Dody6's change of heart. After his initial confession to being homeless, however, he received harsh criticism from some of his peers. This includes Hitta J3, who rushed to Kendrick's defense following Dody's rant.
Jade Thirlwall has been learning to lean into a softer approach with her voice as she steps into life as a solo performer.
The former Little Mix member shared that she’s been carving out her own sound since the British girl group decided to go on an indefinite break in 2022.
Speaking with ELLE, Jade opened up about discovering that not every track on her debut solo album, That's Showbiz Baby, needed a full vocal showcase.
“That’s what I’ve discovered with this project, especially after Little Mix, is that I don’t always need to give a big vocal moment,” she said. “It’s actually been really nice to understand that part of my voice.”
She pointed to the group’s 2016 single Power, which has at times faced online comments about being a little too intense vocally.
“I’ll scroll through TikTok and see people talk about Power like, ‘These girlies are out here like, AHHH,’” she told the outlet. “Everyone trying to top each other with the loudest note for three minutes straight.”
Although Jade still loves that kind of performance, she said she’s learned the value of holding back.
“I still adore that energy, but it’s been kind of freeing to realise, babe, it doesn’t always need to end with this massive ad-lib run,” she shared.
She also mentioned that her song Angel of My Dreams was first recorded with a much bigger vocal take before she decided to go back and do it in a more relaxed, softer tone.
Jade officially dropped That's Showbiz Baby on 12 September. The record includes 14 tracks, among them IT Girl, Plastic Box, and the lead single Angel of My Dreams.
