Teyana Taylor’s highly anticipated K.T.S.E. album arrived more than a day late to streaming services, and we finally may have some explanations as to why there was a holdup. The 27-year-old stopped by Big Boy’s Neighborhood for an interview, and she admitted that there were huge issues with sample clearances, which resulted in the scrapping of an entire song.

The G.O.O.D. Music artist felt pressure from fans to put the album out on the expected release date to complete Kanye’s vision of a five-album rollout. It’s also been four years since her debut effort. She mentions a track heard at her album’s listening party titled “We Got Love,” which didn’t make the final version of the project thanks to sampling issues.

Taylor plans to add the missing track onto K.T.S.E. for streaming services by this weekend. “Saturday, Sunday, you’ll hear the complete version of the album,” Teyana stated. “At the end of ‘Issues,’ I had the Sade piece in there. The end of ‘Rose in Harlem,’ I had [Lauryn Hill’s] ‘Lost Ones’ in there, and I was really talking that shit,” she continued. “Once y’all hear the album next week, you’ll see what I’m talking about, because it’s way more complete.”

The Harlem native wasn’t ready to place blame solely on Kanye’s last-minute tendencies. “I’d have to blame a little bit of everybody because we set the date and we had the listening party, and then we had clearance issues. As far as the clearance issues, I don’t know. I feel like everybody plays a part,” she explained. “With Ye, he really wanted me to be happy, and he knew that the wait was killing me.”

Keep an eye out for updates to K.T.S.E. throughout the week. For now, listen to Teyana’s interview in its entirety with Big Boy’s Neighborhood below.

Bruno Mars might be in some hot water with MGM.

The “24K Magic” singer announced a multi-year residency with MGM Resorts International in 2016, performing at the hospitality giant’s Park MGM resort in Las Vegas.

However, the relationship between the 38-year-old and the hospitality giant may have gone sour as the singer’s gambling has allegedly racked up large debts at the poker tables in Las Vegas, according to NewsNation.

“He owed millions to the MGM,” a Vegas insider told the outlet.

Another source added that the debt is as high as $50 million.

“[MGM] basically own him. He makes $90 million a year off of the deal he did with the casino, but then he has to pay back his debt,” added the insider, claiming that the singer only makes $1.5 million per night after taxes.

Part of Mars’ MGM contract reportedly included the creation of The Pinky Ring, a cocktail lounge inside the Bellagio Resort. NewsNation reports that another project is in the works as well.

Method Man is one of Wu-Tang Clan‘s most recognizable MCs, yet he’s revealed he’s not watched a single episode of Hulu’s Wu-Tang: An American Saga series.

The New York rapper joined Kevin Hart for a recent episode of his Golden Minds Podcast where Meth explained he’s never watched an episode because he wanted to allow the show to take creative liberties with its story and not feel a way about it.

“So to see this come to fruition on screen, it was a no-brainer for me knowing how RZA works,” he said. “In the beginning, it was like, ‘Wow, they’re taking a lot of liberties here with the story.’ In hindsight, knowing how some of these things work, and embellishments and sometimes dudes still be having open cases and shit so I could understand.

“I haven’t watched an episode, personally, but I get the scripts ahead of time. Everything ain’t for everybody, that’s all I could say.”
