Hot Boy Turk’s removal from the Cash Money Millionaires 30th Anniversary Tour has sparked public backlash and the threat of legal action.
The rapper, a founding member of the Hot Boys, was abruptly cut from the lineup just days before releasing his new album Joseph. He claims his dismissal stemmed from a financial dispute with organizers, accusing them of offering him an unfair deal and retaliating when he declined.
On Saturday, Turk posted a statement to Instagram alleging that the tour’s promoters branded him a “security risk” after he refused reduced compensation. “The same day I rejected less than what was owed, I got hit with a bogus termination notice,” he wrote. “Instead of admitting they couldn’t pay fairly, they labeled me a threat.”
Turk’s wife, who also serves as his manager, joined him in a video response to the termination. The couple rejected the “security” label as defamatory and insisted they would not remain silent. The video fueled speculation about deeper fractures behind the scenes of what was billed as a long-awaited reunion.

By Sunday, Turk announced his legal team had issued a cease-and-desist order targeting tour figures including Andrew Ellington and Dope Shows. “We won’t tolerate slander or false narratives that damage my name or business,” he wrote. “This will be handled the right way—through the courts.”
The Cash Money 30th Anniversary Tour was promoted as a celebration of the label’s legacy, with Birdman and Lil Wayne. Though Wayne missed several dates, fans still expected a complete Hot Boys reunion. Turk had already performed at multiple shows before his abrupt departure, which left some attendees frustrated.
The fallout coincided with the release of Joseph, Turk’s latest studio album. The project dropped on July 27, accompanied by a video for “You Too Movement.”
While the tour continues without him, Turk’s absence threatens to cast a shadow over the historic reunion.
MGK has unveiled his high energy new single “Fix Ur Face” featuring Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst.
The intense collaboration sees the rapper turned rocker dive deeper into the hard hitting sound he has been refining over the past few years.
Fusing the raw edge of 90s nu metal with Machine Gun Kelly’s modern alternative style, the track stands out as one of his most aggressive releases so far.
The song dropped alongside a bold black and white video, which premiered across MTV Live, MTVU, and the Paramount Times Square billboards.
Directed by frequent collaborator Sam Cahill, the visual was shot in several cities during mgk’s lost americana tour, including Berlin, Dublin, Düsseldorf, London, Prague, Cologne, Nashville and Los Angeles. It highlights the intensity and intimacy of touring, from packed venues and sweat drenched crowds to the blurred line between performer and fans.
The track was created with his close knit creative team, including SlimXX, BazeXX, RookXX, Nick Long, and No Love For The Middle Child, giving it a gritty and multi generational energy that sets it apart from today’s mainstream rock and rap.
Durst brings a high powered performance, channeling the same raw intensity that shaped Limp Bizkit’s early era.
The video’s look was further developed by street artists Lugosis and Strato, who painted a large mural in Berlin, while Slawn Olaolu designed the character face and jackets featured throughout the clip, adding a distinct DIY feel.
MGK first previewed “Fix Ur Face” during the European run of the lost americana tour, then later shared a snippet during shows in Australia, building strong anticipation among fans.
His relationship with Durst stretches back over a decade, with the two having performed together on multiple occasions, including mgk’s 2014 tour alongside Limp Bizkit.
The lost americana tour is now set to return to the United States, resuming on May 15 with Wiz Khalifa joining as support.
