Method Man vows to never perform at the Summer Jam festival again.
Hip hop icon, Method Man joined Sexyy Red, Davido, Offset and Doja Cat to perform at Saturday’s 2024 Summer Jam festival. However, the Wu-Tang clan emcee met a different reality with an unsatisfactory crowd response. Hot 97 posted reels of some of the performances via Instagram in which Method Man expressed his dissatisfaction before vowing never to perform at the festival again. Explaining his stance, Method Man said the Summer Jam audience does not align with his discography, noting that the generation gap in rap has widened so much. He wrote, “Thanks again, New York and the whole tri-state (that showed up for the event)… I got love for you guys, but never again.”
Method Man says he’s never coming back to perform at Summer Jam, following the show last night.

Drake joins forces with Snowd4y for a remix of “Wah Gwan Delilah”.
Shortly after featuring on Sexxy Red’s new single, “U My Everything”, Drake has again jumped on Toronto rapper, Snowd4y’s “Wah Gwan Delilah”. After being teased in the early hours of Monday, the song was released only on SoundCloud, with Drake singing a lot of Toronto slangs with an auto-tuned high pitched voice. Most fans have been left disappointed, wondering if this is an AI-generated recording or just the Canadian rapper trolling. Fans have taken to social media to question if this is one of the summer records that he promised after withdrawing from his rap feud with Kendrick Lamar a month ago.
