Popcaan had a smashing performance at Wireless Festival on Sunday, and the OVO deejay is still riding on a high wave as his career climbs new heights.

On Sunday, Popcaan was added to the lineup at the last minute despite Lil Durk being advertised on Wireless’ poster for the event on Sunday, which said Nicki Minaj, Summer Walker, and other artists were performing.

Wireless has not addressed why Popcaan replaced Lil Durk, but some fans online were not happy about the switch up and have pointed out that the festival was aware that Lil Durk was previously denied entry into the UK due to his past criminal record.

While many claimed that Durk “pulled out” of the event, according to Wireless, there are reports that he wasn’t even booked and couldn’t legally pass the border.

Lil Durk has a song named “Denied in UK” that speaks to a previous attempt at entering the UK but not being allowed in by the UK’s Home Office. The country has shown itself to be very serious in not letting in artists who have criminal records. In the past, Lil Wayne has been banned for the same reason.

In the meantime, fans were not disappointed as Popcaan brought the vibes. Many videos were shared by fans praising his performance as “10/10”.

Another said Popcaan “delivered an outstanding performance in the UK.”

Popcaan also shared a post of gratitude for being able to hit the big stage as he addressed critics.

“Some little people always ago ina them feelings because this lil country boy from St. Thomas not supposed to make it like this. But them never see you at the starting line. Gwaan dweet enuh. Me glad fi see you a dweet it me brother. Words from bilberber,” he wrote in an Instagram Story.

Meanwhile, Skillibeng and Shenseea also delivered dancehall hits to fans at Wireless Festival, the first time that two young dancehall entertainers have graced the stage in a long time.

Popcaan also reportedly got a collab with Lil Durk in the works, a snippet of which has been making the rounds.

Kevin Gates is a little too real and open on the next episode of Careesha Please hosted by Yung Miami on the Diddy-owned Revolve TV.

The City Girls rapper popped out with a brand-new podcast last month with none other than her boo Diddy Love on her inaugural episode, and she’s coming back with another provoking interview with Kevin Gates, who lays out his sexual fantasies that have left the hip-hop world shocked.

In a preview shared online, Yung Miami asks the rapper whether it was really true that he was having sex with his cousin unknowingly, to which the rapper explains that after he was told, he wasn’t ready to stop.

In 2015, the rapper had first revealed that he was in a three-month-old relationship when he found out that he was having sex with a blood relative.

“I ain’t about to stop fucking with her,” the rapper had said on Instagram after his followers had criticized him about the revelation.

“Y’all done got the hard part out of the way,” Gates said. “Why f*** up a good thing?” he said to the initial post, which made the announcement, “Newsflash: I’m proud that I’m having sex with my cousin.”

In other interviews, the rapper also confirmed years later that he and the cousin continued to date for about two years. Well, the preview already raises so many questions, which hopefully Gates can reveal in the full show.

As for the interview set to air on July 14, the rapper appears to also be speaking about his freaky sexual proclivities, which he has hinted at in his recent song “Super General,” where he speaks about his freaky desires for Rubi Rose and also for Nicki Minaj and Beyonce.

Even Yung Miami seems blown away by the rapper’s fantasies, “I’m speechless,” she says in the preview to Gates as he’s rattling off his nasty fantasies.

Usain Bolt was officially honored by Brunel University London for his outstanding contributions to track and field.

Brunel University announced the conferral two days ago and shared photos of Usain Bolt in his robe and cap accepting the award. In a statement, the university said that Botl held a special place at the institution as he prepared for the 2012 Olympics, one of if not the most transformative years of his career, where he earned the title ‘Fastest man Alive’ due to his 9.58 seconds record time.

“Mr Bolt trained at Brunel a number of times over his career, including in the lead-up to the 2012 London Olympics, where his world beating performances scooped him three gold medals and cemented his place as the greatest sprinter of all time,” the university said on its website.

The statement said that in accepting his award, Bolt addressed graduates at Brunel’s Indoor Athletics Centre in Uxbridge as he impressed the value of hard work and dedication.

“I want to say to the graduates, hard work does pay off, just remember that the road won’t be easy, there will be ups and downs, and you will fail,” Bolt began.

“But always remember, learn from your failure and try again. Never give up on your dream, because as a young man I never knew I’d be this great. Always work hard, dedicate yourself, and remember, anything is possible, don’t take limits,” Bolt added.

Bolt has left the competitive track and field sport, but he has left an indelible mark on the work as he remains the holder of the 100m and 200m world records and a share of the 4x100m record, all of which he earned while preparing at Brunel in 2012,” the university said.

Bolt also expressed his gratitude to the institution.

“I want to thank Brunel University for this honorary degree, I really appreciate it. I have only fond memories of training at Brunel, you guys have really helped me to conquer the world, and I must say I really appreciate that. “

In the meantime, Bolt is now a Doctor of the University or DUniv. The award was conferred by Professor Costas Karageorghis, Professor of Sport and Exercise Psychology at Brunel.

“It’s been a delight to welcome Usain back to Brunel to recognise his great achievements, not only on the track, but in promoting sport and a positive attitude towards life,” Karageorghis said.

“As a university, we’re immensely proud to have played even a small part in his journey to greatness, and I’m sure Usain knows he’s welcome back any time!” he added.

Usain Bolt previously received an honorary doctorate from the University Of The West Indies, UWI.
