    AceShowbiz – Jack Harlow wants no part in JW Lucas’ drama. Shortly after the latter came under fire for his controversial comments on the murder of Breonna Taylor, the rapper distances himself from hip-hop music producer, who is credited as one of the producers for his hit “Whats Poppin”.
    On Thursday, July 30, the 22-year-old artist claimed that he ever met with Lucas and denied that the producer was one of the creative minds behind his chart-topping single. “I’ve never met or spoken to that JW Lucas person. And he didn’t even produce WHATS POPPIN. Jetson and Pooh made it. That’s all,” he wrote in a now-deleted tweet.

    Jack Harlow distanced himself from JW Lucas.
    Harlow’s claim is contradicting the fact that Lucas has always been listed as producer alongside Jetson Made, Pooh Beatz as well as Los the Producer in the song’s credits. Lucas has not responded to Harlow’s tweet.
    The music producer started catching flak earlier on Thursday after he posted a tweet in which he seemed to justify the murder of the 26-year-old black woman. He wrote on the micro-blogging site, “Why is the world asking for justice for #BreonnaTaylor…of course she shouldn’t have lost her life….but do you realize that she was involved with multiple drug dealers who were using her house as a trap spot? If you sign up for that life there are consequences.”
    The backlash was almost immediate, but Lucas did not think he said anything wrong and defended himself during an Instagram Live session. Responding to people who accused him of being a white supremacist, Lucas said, “That ain’t me. I don’t give a f**k about what color skin I have.” He then lashed out at people who said that he was canceled because of his tweet.
    He later got into a heated argument with activist Tamika Mallory and proudly stated that he should be a leader of the Black Lives Matter movement because he believed that he’s more capable than her.

      Artist of the Week: Jack Harlow

      The Louisville rapper explodes with his bouncy song ‘Whats Poppin’, conquering the internet, dominating the charts, and earning recognition within hip-hop community.
      Jul 13, 2020
      AceShowbiz – It seems summer 2020 belongs to Jack Harlow. The Louisville rapper is everywhere, dominating the internet and Billboard music charts. Starting selling his CD in middle school and playing sold-out venues in high school, he got his major breakout with his single “Whats Poppin”.
      Produced by JetsonMade & Pooh Beatz, the masterminds behind one of 2019’s biggest hip-hop songs “Suge”, “Whats Poppin” is such a bob with feel-good lyrics. Released in January before pandemic hit the United States, it quickly went viral during the lockdown after grabbing the attention of TikTok lovers.
      As countless homemade fun clips using the song popped up nonstop online, the track is steadily rising on the charts. It additionally earned the Private Garden star recognition from big rappers. The likes of Lil Wayne, Tory Lanez, and DaBaby jumped on the remixed version.
      With the additional boost from those heavyweight names, the song climbed to a new height on the charts. It rose from No. 8 to No. 2 on Hot 100, vaulted from No. 5 to No. 2 on Streaming Songs with 34.1 million streams, reached No. 11 on Digital Song Sales, and peaked at 23 on Radio Songs.
      However, the 22-year-old rapper who was signed by DJ Drama and Don Cannon to their Generation Now label imprint wanted his music to last beyond the warm season. He wanted to produce a classic so he continued to learn and broaden his horizon.
      “I’m really taking this time to try and absorb stuff I never absorb. There’s hit songs from the ’70s and ’80s. I don’t know that everyone knows, so I’m going back and every day I’m doing my research,” so he explained in an interview with Revolt.
      “I’m listening to a lot of older music. I’m listening to a lot of ’70s music. A lot of David Bowie, Hall & Oats, and Marvin Gaye. I’ve really been doing my studying because there’s a lot of music that’s iconic to people and shifted cultures that I missed out on,” he said.
