Whether it's his album titles or controversial comments, Young Thug seems to find a way to keep his name in the headlines.
In typical Thugger fashion he provided more bulletin board material when he discussed his preference for wearing female clothing in a recent GQ interview.
According to the Atlanta rapper, he chooses to do so “because women’s clothes are [slimmer] than men’s clothes. The jeans I got on right now, they’re women’s jeans. But they fit how they’re supposed to fit. Like a rock star.”
He went on to give a breakdown of what you would find in his closet.
“The only thing I probably have in men’s is like briefs. T-shirts. Ninety percent of my clothes are women’s,” Thug explained.

Rapper Frost was the first Latino artist to sign with Eazy E's Ruthless Records. In a clip from the upcoming documentary, For The Record: The Story of Latinos in Hip Hop, he details finding out Eazy had AIDS and offers his opinion on how he believes the Compton rapper got it.
"I'ma tell you what happened with Eazy getting AIDS. And I believe this to this day. And I don't care if you guys got it on film. You can tell the world," Frost says. "They gave him tainted needles with acupuncture. He got hurt in Honda Valley on Quad Runners And what happened was someone...I won't say the name, but people know the name. I don't want to say that name because it's the devil's name. If you know your history on West Coast rap you'll know who I'm saying. They really had a strong hold in giving him tainted needles with the AIDS virus in them through acupuncture. How else could somebody die that fast of AIDS? Have you even heard of somebody dying in two weeks of AIDS, bro?”
Frost also says he believes the government was involved in the deaths of Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G.
{Tupac's death] happened from a sniper, not a gang bang killer," Frost continued. "Think about this...A dude that's gonna come and meticulously put five to six bullets in a circle [of a car door] is not a gang banger. Because gang bangers that come and shoot are just gonna hit bullets on the wall, on the top of the thing and hope that they got enough rounds to clip one of their enemies. Not like that, no fucking way. Biggie...no fucking way. These dudes were not just gang bangers shooting like that. Those were marksmen, government fucking snipers."

The last couple of months have been a whirlwind for Drake. He found himself in the middle of a beef that he did not start with Meek Mill over ghostwriting allegations. By most accounts the Toronto rapper emerged victorious. Then he dropped a successful mixtape with Future.
FADER selected him for the cover of their 100th issue. In it Drake discusses the Meek conflict publicly for the first time.
“I’m just gonna bring it up ‘cause it’s important to me,” he says. “I was at a charity kickball game—which we won, by the way—and my brother called me. He was just like, ‘I don’t know if you’re aware, but, yo, they’re trying to end us out here. They’re just spreading, like, propaganda. Where are you? You need to come here.’ So we all circled up at the studio, and sat there as Flex went on the air, and these guys flip-flopped [about how] they were gonna do this, that, and the third. Given the circumstances, it felt right to just remind people what it is that I do. In case your opinions were wavering at any point.”
Drizzy released "Charged Up" as a response. Then sat back and waited for Meek to fire back. There was no immediate reply so he dropped "Back to Back."
“This is a discussion about music, and no one’s putting forth any music?” he says. “You guys are gonna leave this for me to do? This is how you want to play it? You guys didn’t think this through at all—nobody? You guys have high-ranking members watching over you. Nobody told you that this was a bad idea, to engage in this and not have something? You’re gonna engage in a conversation about writing music, and delivering music, with me? And not have anything to put forth on the table? It was weighing heavy on me,” he says. “I didn’t get it. I didn’t get how there was no strategy on the opposite end. I just didn’t understand. I didn’t understand it because that’s just not how we operate. I was like, ‘I’m gonna probably just finish this.’ And I know how I have to finish it. This has to literally become the song that people want to hear every single night, and it’s gonna be tough to exist during this summer when everybody wants to hear [this] song that isn’t necessarily in your favor.”
Drake then addressed the issue of ghostwriting.
“It’s just, music at times can be a collaborative process, you know? Who came up with this, who came up with that—for me, it’s like, I know that it takes me to execute every single thing that I’ve done up until this point. And I’m not ashamed.”

Like other West Coast artists, B.G. Knocc Out has stories for days when it comes to his affiliation with Eazy-E, Suge Knight and the Death Row family. Days before Eazy-E was diagnosed with AIDS, him, B.G. and Dresta were in the process of recording "D.P.G. Killa," the diss track aimed at Tha Dogg Pound. It was then Eazy had another bout with his bronchitis, a condition not many were aware he had at the time. 'People don't know Eazy's voice sound the way he does is because his lungs wasn't that good," B.G. explains. "That's why he projected that sound out of his voice."
"Yeah there's foul play, ain't no doubt about it," B.G. continues as he's asked about the conspiracy-theories revolving Eazy's death. "He just went from having it, and dying from it in a matter of weeks." B.G. doesn't necessarily believe Suge Knight killed him, but he definitely feels the Death Row Records executive was "made privy to it." "Just the fact that he said that, and where he could've got the information from, I have no clue," says B.G. in reference to Suge's "joke" about injecting people with AIDS needles. "But that's how most of us feel, that's what really happened. "I don't think it was him, though, to be honest." Had he had the authority to do so, B.G. says he would have "exhumed his body and really checked."
B.G. is later asked about the well-known time Suge and his crew allegedly jumped Eazy, an incident he claims Dr. Dre was behind all along. "Eazy was smart so, he didn't put his real signature on the paperwork and that's why it never held out," he explains. "Dre set it up, though."

(Reuters) At least 717 pilgrims from around the world were killed on Thursday in a crush outside the Muslim holy city of Mecca, Saudi authorities said, in the worst disaster to strike the annual haj pilgrimage for 25 years.
At least 863 others were injured. Saudi King Salman said he had ordered a review of haj plans after the disaster, in which two large groups of pilgrims arrived together at a crossroads in Mina, a few kilometers east of Mecca, on their way to performing the "stoning of the devil" ritual at Jamarat.
Thursday's disaster was the worst to occur at the pilgrimage since July 1990, when 1,426 pilgrims suffocated in a tunnel near Mecca. Both incidents occurred on Eid al-Adha (Feast of the Sacrifice), Islam's most important feast and the day of the stoning ritual.
Photographs published on the Twitter feed of Saudi civil defense on Thursday showed pilgrims lying on stretchers while emergency workers in high-visibility jackets lifted them into an ambulance.

Other images showed bodies of men in white haj garments piled on top of each other. Some corpses bore visible injuries.
Unverified video posted on Twitter showed pilgrims and rescue workers trying to revive some victims.
The haj, the world's largest annual gathering of people, has been the scene of numerous deadly stampedes, fires and riots in the past, but their frequency has been greatly reduced in recent years as the government spent billions of dollars upgrading and expanding haj infrastructure and crowd control technology.
Safety during haj is a politically sensitive issue for the kingdom's ruling Al Saud dynasty, which presents itself internationally as the guardian of orthodox Islam and custodian of its holiest places in Mecca and Medina.
BLAME
Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said the Saudi government should accept responsibility for the crush, in which more than 100 Iranian nationals were reported to have died.
"The Saudi government should accept the responsibility of this sorrowful incident ... Mismanagement and improper actions have caused this catastrophe," Khamenei said in a statement published on his website.
King Salman offered deep condolences.
"We have instructed concerned authorities to review the operations plan ... (and) to raise the level of organization and management to ensure that the guests of God perform their rituals in comfort and ease," the monarch said.
The Interior Ministry spokesman, Mansour Turki said the investigation would look into what caused an unusual mass of pilgrims to congregate at the location of the disaster. "The reason for that is not known yet," he told a news conference in Mina.
U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and the White House offered condolences.
"The United States expresses its deepest condolences to the families of the hundreds of haj pilgrims killed and hundreds more injured in the heartbreaking stampede in Mina, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia," White House spokesman Ned Price said.
Iran's Tasnim and Fars news agencies reported that 125 Iranians were among the dead. Fars reported that Tehran summoned the Saudi charge d'affaires to lodge an official complaint over the disaster.
South African Acting President Cyril Ramaphosa extended condolences to families of the victims and said his government was awaiting information about his country's pilgrims.
JAMARAT
Street 204, where the crush occurred, is one of two main arteries leading through the camp at Mina to Jamarat, the site where pilgrims ritually stone the devil by hurling pebbles at three large pillars. In 2006, at least 346 pilgrims died in a stampede at Jamarat.
"Work is under way to separate large groups of people and direct pilgrims to alternative routes," the Saudi Civil Defence said on its Twitter account.
It said more than 220 ambulances and 4,000 rescue workers had been sent in to help the injured. Some of the wounded were evacuated by helicopters.
An Arab pilgrim who did not want to give his name said he had hoped to perform the stoning ritual later on Thursday afternoon but was now too frightened to risk doing so.
"I am very tired already and after this I can't go. I will wait for the night and if it not resolved, I will see if maybe somebody else can do it on my behalf," he said.
Efforts to improve safety at Jamarat have included enlarging the three pillars and constructing a three-decker bridge around them to increase the area and number of entry and exit points for pilgrims to perform the ritual.
More than 100,000 police and thousands of video cameras are also deployed to allow groups to be dispersed before they reach dangerous levels of density.
"Please pilgrims do not push one another. Please leave from the exit and don't come back by the same route," an officer kept repeating through a loudspeaker at Jamarat.
Two weeks ago 110 people died in Mecca's Grand Mosque when a crane working on an expansion project collapsed during a storm and toppled off the roof into the main courtyard, crushing pilgrims underneath.
