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.
Busta Rhymes is honoring his late friend D’Angelo in a truly moving way. The rapper released a heartfelt tribute track titled “Magic,” marking one of his most emotional releases in years. The song celebrates the neo-soul legend D’Angelo, who sadly passed away earlier this month after a private battle with cancer. Over the smooth, soulful backdrop of D’Angelo’s “One Mo’ Gin” from his 2000 classic Voodoo, Busta reflects deeply, sharing raw and powerful emotions through his storytelling.
Throughout the seven-minute piece, Busta takes listeners on a journey through his 34-year friendship with D’Angelo. He recalls their early sessions with A Tribe Called Quest and describes the lasting connection they built over the decades. Instead of simply celebrating the music, Busta pays homage to the person behind it. He describes D’Angelo as a rare, once-in-a-generation artist who “never needed a co-sign” and “touched the souls of the people and everything between.”
During an interview with Okayplayer, Busta called D’Angelo “a godsend,” reflecting on his influence across R&B and hip-hop. “The Earth shifted when D came to do music,” he said, a statement that perfectly sums up D’Angelo’s impact. Anyone familiar with Brown Sugar, Voodoo, or Black Messiah knows his legacy speaks volumes.
“Magic” feels like a conversation between two lifelong friends. Busta Rhymes gives fans an intimate look at a bond that helped shape decades of soul-infused hip-hop. The tributes pouring in since D’Angelo’s passing highlight not only his extraordinary artistry but also the love and respect he inspired among peers. Lauryn Hill expressed it beautifully, writing, “Thank you for being a beacon of light to a generation and beyond who had no remembrance of the legacy that preceded us.”
