If we know anything about Wiz Khalifa it’s that the man’s love affair with Mary Jane rivals that of Rick James, 90’s Redman, and maybe even Bob Marley, so it should come as no surprise that the Pittsburgh spitter dedicate his latest cut to the love of his life.
Dropping off some new visuals to “So Many Pounds Freestyle,” Wiz Khalifa shows just how faithful he is to Mary Jane as he raps about every which way she’s involved in his life over Tupac’s classic “So Many Tears” instrumental while he flies the friendly skies in a private plane before getting smoked out and performing for his adoring fans. You’d think with a title like that he’d show pounds and pounds of weed, but no, he didn’t. Go figure.
B.G meanwhile keeps his comeback tour going and in his clip to “I Don’t Give A F**k,” the OG Hot Boy stunts from his hotel room to the streets as he styles in a gang of ice and strolls alongside his ride-or-die chick and some guard dogs that look ready for action.
Check out the rest of today’s drops including work from DJ Paul, Akon and Krayzie Bone, Fredo Bang and Tec, and more.
Kendrick Lamar has reached a new milestone on the TikTok Billboard Top 50 chart. Keep watching to see how he’s dominated this week!
Tetris Kelly:
Kendrick Lamar dominates the chart this week, while a throwback becomes our only top 10 debut. “Not Like Us” not only returned to the top of the Hot 100, it also reached the peak of the TikTok Billboard Top 50 for the first time on the chart posting February 20th. Thanks to his exposure from the Super Bowl, his songs occupy the top four spots. It’s the first time any artist has charted more than two songs in the top 10 of this chart. Debuting at No. 7 is Fergie’s 2000s hit “Big Girls Don’t Cry” 18 years after it topped the Hot 100 thanks to the Valentine’s Day lyrics. Every Thursday, Billboard will bring you the verified list of the hottest songs on TikTok by monitoring music discovery and engagement on the platform in the United States. To find the TikTok Billboard Top 50 each week, users can simply go to any sound detail page and tap the top right button to access the charts page.

A$AP Rocky, if you guys did not hear, was found not guilty after, an alleged shooting incident that took place in 2021 in November of him allegedly shooting his one time friend A$AP Relli. He was facing two felony counts of a firearm. If convicted, would have been facing 24 years the maximum. And yesterday, we got the news around seven o’clock/ four Pacific that he was found not guilty. It’s gonna be a meme now, the way he ran over to Rihanna and just, literally just jumped over the railing.

Tetris Kelly:
A$AP Rocky is not guilty. The rapper’s trial is over and we have his girl Rihanna’s reaction and all the details. In viral videos, A$AP Rocky was full of emotions on Tuesday the moment a jury ruled he was not guilty in his 2021 felony shooting case — so much so in a beautiful moment he leapt straight over a courtroom barrier into the arms of the first person he wanted to celebrate with: Rihanna. She posted to IG: “THE GLORY BELONGS TO GOD AND GOD ALONE! THANKFUL, HUMBLED BY HIS MERCY!”
The two share two young sons. The Harlem native and his team have maintained that the gun used in the incident was a prop weapon throughout the courtroom proceedings. For more on the story, head to billboard.com.
