Yo Gotti drops his new album I Still Am and you can stream and download it on iTunes/Apple Music.
Gotti already scored a platinum-selling single off the project with “Rake It Up” featuring Nicki Minaj. During the summer, he also released a joint EP with Mike WiLL Made-It, Gotti Made-It. But this new album I Am Still is the follow-up to his 2013 project I Am and is a bit of a sequel.

I Still Am is the ninth studio album from the Memphis rapper who continues to show growth in an era when the industry is competitive. “Rake It Up” with Nicki Minaj is perhaps the biggest hit of his career. That song peaked at No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and has been certified platinum. Chris Brown is featured on the single “Save It For Me,” Meek Mill and YFN Lucci is featured on the single “One on One,” and 21 Savage is featured on “Yellow Tape.”

On Thursday night, Tyrese checked himself into the hospital for chest pains and dehydration after spending the day in court over a custody battle with his ex-wife.
According to TMZ, Tyrese began to experience chest pains shortly after leaving the courthouse and subsequently went to the hospital. He received fluids to treat the dehydration and is undergoing tests to determine the cause of his chest pains. The singer also reportedly suffered from anxiety
This comes after Tyrese spent Thursday in a court battle with ex-wife Norma Gibson, who has accused the singer of hitting their daughter, Shayla. She also claimed that he spied on her and that she had reason to fear for her safety, and she was granted a temporary restraining order against Tyrese in which he is not allowed near her or their daughter.
Tyrese wore all black to the courtroom and declared that he had done so because the day was a funeral for the abuse allegations being leveled against him.

Tyrese defends calling his wife #BlackQueen amidst backlashRecently, Tyrese hopped on Instagram with a lengthy tirade about women, railing against women who change their looks with “manufactured beauty.”
“This all started over dinner listening to a group of women tear down what they proudly called #Aints***Men and said men are all stupid and will sleep with and marry damn near anything? Huh?” he began his tirade before he jumped into his message.
“I just feel the need to send a message to all of these ‘type’ of ladies all races of ladies who just think Dudes are just STUPID??……. WE KNOW the difference in real hair and fake clips on’s we know eye lash extensions, we know fake hard titties pointing in 4 directions with your ribs showing in the middle? Why so much separation? We knw when you got little chicken legs and it leads to an oversized #fake a** you guys are really starting to go TOO FAR with manufactured beauty – fake lips, skinny nose barely can even breathe through your own nostrils – Sitting across from you and you couldn’t even HIDE your wave tracks?? Come on.”
He then went on to knock the idea that men will sleep with anyone while putting down women who turn to purchased beauty:IM NOT trying to be mean I’m just sending a message that US REAL MEN SEE THE BULLS*** and IF He decide to rock with you it’s just cause they wanna get one off no one will EVER take you serious like that or really make that move………. Cause you look like a manufactured clown – Some of you have convinced yourself that it’s OK cause of how many dude be trying to get at you……. Please let me explain…. You got your temp fix and you will continue to ‘attract’ men who ONLY want a temporary fix.
Then, Tyrese turned his attention to women who don’t make changes to themselves, saying, “Shout to #TeamNatural #TeamSquats and #TeamTakeMeAsIAM – #TeamMatureEnoughToConsiderHarshTruths because you’re single doesn’t mean you’re lonely – know this… Hoes, sluts, tramps are never without a man… You’re single cause YOU have standard and know your actual value- I had to rip out a chapter from my New York Times best selling book #MANOLOGY to let y’all know us as MEN are much more aware and smarter than some of you think…… If your beauty has been purchased that’s fine…. own it, enjoy it….. Just know that us REAL ones out here see the REAL….”Singer and actor Tyrese Gibson had to confirm with the public that his new wife was, in fact, part black which is why he referred to her as his #BlackQueen. This came after many questioned whether she was black at all.
Gibson cleared up the confusion by sharing the TMZ report that noted her ethnicity was Ecuadorian, Jamaican and African-American.
“TMZ actually got it right! This time!” He said.
The Fast and Furious actor didn’t share his Valentine’s Day wedding news until Tuesday, February 28 on Instagram. In his post, he shared photos of him and his new wife Samantha Lee both at their ceremony and having a romantic walk along the beach at sunset.
Gibson has since deleted many of his posts referring to his wedding and his “black queen.” But before he did, he shared that, ”We’re humbled by the outpouring of love! We appreciate all of the prayers and well wishes,” before going on, “Sometimes, when you pray you get exactly what your heart desires. I got #MyBlackQueen I didn’t just marry her I married my daughter’s new example. ‘We are all flawed, sinners and have made mistakes but I hope you decide to keep loving, keep the faith and God will to send you what’s yours…. #Amen.’”
It didn’t take long for fans to start questioning Lee’s looks.
They really got into it too, digging into her ethnicity with fervor. They found out that her given name is Samantha Schwalenberg according to LinkedIn. Then they found out that she had participated in the Mr. and Mrs. Latin UGA pageant in 2011.
According to Straight From The A, her mother is Latina and her father is white.
