Safaree Samuels is quite literally "dehydrated" to the point exhaustion after making a record number appearances in the past month. A photo recovered by The Shade Room, shows the ailing rapper sitting upright in a hospital bed in the company a friend or relative. The timing this hospital visit comes as a bit a surprise to those us who have witnessed his recent upsurge.

It has been a busy month for Safaree as he has willingly answered questions about his "penis" almost on a day by day basis for weeks on end. He has also amped up his campaign for new single "Hunnid," launching him into a prolonged run media appearances, culminating with the release  a music video which is nearing the one million mark in views. It seems his hard-won tactics are paying f, but have come at the price physical and mental exhaustion.

Safaree has also made the headlines for having another portion his private life leaked, as he is reportedly dating Cam'ron's ex girlfriend JuJu, herself an entrepreneur. These intermingling factors all point to Safaree needing a little R&R, but in all likelihood suggests that he is living out a healthy swarm  activity, career-wise.

We sincerely wish him a quick rebound, as this looks to be a great moment for him to break out  the shadow posed by his ex-girlfriend Nicki.

Lil Xan Says He's Not Doing Anymore Interviews

There's a lot people in the public eye who stop doing press because they feel the media spins what they say to make a headline. While that may be true, a lot times artists just say things that they may feel like they shouldn't have down the line. Being in the public eye ten means that you're opinions and views are broadcasted for the world to see. Earlier today, Lil Xan aka Diego took to Twitter to announce that he won't be doing anymore interviews.

Lil Xan won't be doing interviews any more, or so he claims. The rapper took to Twitter to explain that he won't be doing any more interviews with companies because he says they're taking advantage him to further themselves.

"No more interviews," he wrote, "I love my fans to death but I can’t let these companies keep taking advantage me and using me to further there shit,it’s fucked."

This comes after he did a segment with REVOLT where he was asked to rate things on a scale 1 to 10. The topic 2Pac came up and he rated it a 2 and described it as "boring music."

The rapper then quoted the Tweet that the company posted and said, "You know what ima just stop saying how I feel and I’m done doing interviews."

In other Lil Xan related news, the rapper recently revealed a few features on his upcoming Total Xanarchy album. He said to expect features from an array artists such as Diplo, Chali XCX, YG and 2 Chainz.

The Chainsmokers Take A Shot At The Media In New Single

The Chainsmokers have just released their newest single “You Owe Me,” presenting a dark and brutal portrayal depression and the media’s influence on their recent lives. The song is ostensibly pop, even with the questionable drop in the latter half, but none that should detract from the overall meaning the song.


Right f the bat, Drew sings about reading the papers and feeding back into them with his actions – but even still, he admits that his friends don’t read them, and don’t care about what they say; nevertheless, the papers want to see him “hang on the wall,” as people do with important stories they’ve penned.

Getting back to the music video, it’s hard to find a connection between the plot and the lyrics, unless The Chainsmokers themselves are meant to represent the media, in which case it’s still fairly loose. That being said, the story itself, when taken apart from the lyrics, is entertaining and the way that the ending ties back into the opening scenes is rather fun.

Musically, the song is as far from EDM as we’ve come to expect from The Chainsmokers lately. However, yesterday, they made sure to tease that the song actually had “a drop” and that got fans a little excited.

The drop is… underwhelming. It’s discordant and the lead synths are nearly fputting, but it’s rather short so it doesn’t completely detract from the overall tone the track. Still, it’s a question why that version was the one kept in the final product.

In addition to today’s release, The Chainsmokers have ficially paired “Sick Boy” and “You Owe Me” on Spotify, signifying that these two songs really do “go together.” And don’t forget, we still have the “Everybody Hates Me” they debuted in Prague to look forward to.

For now, check out the music video for “You Owe Me” below.

The Chainsmokers – You Owe Me Lyrics

Verse 1]
I don’t really say this that ten
But there’s something that the papers forgot
Every time I read them, I know I feed them
But I know, they’re painting but they can’t leave a mark
Because my friends don’t read the papers
And they don’t really care if we’re awesome or not
So every time I read them, I know I feed them
But I know, they wanna see me hang on the wall

Chorus]
You don’t know me
Don’t you think that I get lonely?
It gets dark inside my head
Check my pulse and if I’m dead you owe me
If you’re lonely
Don’t you think you’re on your own
When it gets dark inside your head
Check my pulse and if I’m dead you owe me

Verse 2]
Say it to my face if you mean it
Say it to my face, but you won’t
I know I’m not losing
But I’m losing my mind
Does anybody know what that’s like?

Chorus]
You don’t know me
Don’t you think that I get lonely?
It gets dark inside my head
Check my pulse and if I’m dead you owe me
If you’re lonely
Don’t you think you’re on your own
When it gets dark inside your head
Check my pulse and if I’m dead you owe me

Refrain]
If I’m dead, you owe me
If I’m dead, you owe me
You owe me, you owe me
You owe me, you owe me
If I’m dead, you owe me

Drop]
If I’m dead, you owe me
(If I’m dead, if I’m dead, If I’m dead, you owe me)

Outro]
You don’t know me
Don’t you think that I get lonely?
It gets dark inside my head
Check my pulse and if I’m dead you owe me
If you know me
Don’t you think you’re on your own
When it gets dark inside your head
Check my pulse and if I’m dead you owe me
