When it comes to music stars, no one in hip-hop has had quite the breakout like Roddy Rich.

His album, Excuse Me For Being Antisocial, dominated the charts with five singles, but none bigger than “The Box” which spent a total of 11 weeks at number one and even blocked mega acts like Justin Bieber from claiming a #1 in his album rollout. The song would go on to get non-stop radio play until the end of 2021 and would only be replaced by another song with Da Baby, which featured Roddy. After the massive success of that album, the bar was set high for his follow-up, Live Life Fast, which came in at number four on the Billboard charts and started a narrative that Roddy had fallen off.

Roddy is less than 25 years old and to say he is falling off is insane, but leave it to internet trolls to push the narrative regardless. Roddy has promised to come back harder with the next installment of his Feed The Street series and prove that isn’t the case.

This weekend, Roddy took to social media to tease an unreleased track called “Out of My Mind” and social media wasted no time attacking him with the trolling narrative that his music is “trash.” Fans viciously commented and tweeted at the rapper about how bad the track was, some even insinuating he fell off harder than Chance The Rapper, who has been MIIA from music for some time. Roddy took to Instagram to write “Guess Im A Flop Now, S**t Crazy”.

Following the backlash, Roddy deleted his social media pages, leaving some people to come to his defense. Hopefully, the Los Angeles native is taking care of his mental health and expressing frustration in his new music. Like the old saying goes, “a one hit record can fix anything and shut anyone up.”

This week in politics, the vibes are messy, alarming, and straight-up confusing. From late night TV being snatched off the air to vaccine policies getting hijacked, it’s giving “WTF is going on?” Let’s break down the headlines everyone’s talking about inside. First Amendment on the Chopping Block Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show has been pulled from ABC, and Stephen Colbert’s show? Cancelled completely. The official line is murky, but the bigger picture is loud. Free speech is being tested under the Trump administration. While Trump once said he’d “honor” the First Amendment, recent moves suggest he’s working off a remix version that only benefits him. Case in point? The Guardian reports his $15 billion lawsuit against The New York Times. A judge already tossed it out, saying Trump’s claims about “false content” violated federal rules. Still, the fact that these lawsuits and cancellations keep happening has people questioning the future of free expression in America. CDC Shake-Up Sparks Health Concerns Meanwhile, over at the CDC, things are getting political fast. Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has basically turned the agency upside down, firing all 17 members of the vaccine advisory committee and replacing them with appointees that include vaccine skeptics. On top of that, the CDC director is out, high-level staffers are resigning, and decisions about vaccine safety are suddenly more about politics than science. Public health leaders are calling this move dangerous, saying it dismantles independent oversight just when Americans need clarity most. According to California’s government website, they are one of the few states pushing back on the federal government’s stance. California, Washington, and Hawaii aren’t taking it lying down. The states have formed an alliance pushing back on the feds, promising to keep vaccine guidance rooted in science, safety, and transparency. Their health officers are reviewing guidelines from trusted medical groups like the AAP and ACOG to ensure communities still have access to clinically recommended vaccines. Trump & Xi Meet About US TikTok’s Next Chapter And then there’s TikTok. After years of “will they, won’t they?” drama, Trump announced that he and Chinese Premier Xi Jinping approved a deal for TikTok’s U.S. operations. According to BBC, the plan reportedly hands control to a group of U.S. investors, sidestepping a shutdown. Trump called the call with Xi “productive” on Truth Social, and even, teased a face-to-face meetup at the APEC summit in South Korea this fall. From free speech battles to vaccine wars and TikTok drama, this week in politics has us all asking the same thing: WTFGO?
