00:00Cardi B accidentally donates her hair.

00:05Nicki Minaj is begged to cancel her performance.

00:09Plus, A$AP Ferg reacts to A$AP Rocky's Sweden drama.

00:14Hey guys, it's Ali for Hollywood Life with your hip-hop roundup,

00:17starting with Elvis Presley because he's dropping a mixtape with G-Eazy.

00:22Eh, just kidding.

00:22But TMZ reports that G-Eazy is one of the top names in consideration

00:27to play Elvis in his upcoming film.

00:30The site says the rapper is in talks with Warner Brothers

00:32and made a pitch to the director to show how serious he is about portraying the king.

00:37But alright, let's talk about Detroit's Afrofuture Fest

00:40because after discovering their segregated ticket pricing,

00:44rapper Tiny Jag has backed out.

00:46The tickets for the festival reportedly cost $10 for people of color

00:49and $20 for people not of color.

00:52Tiny Jag caught wind of the situation from a fan

00:55and took to Twitter to announce the cancellation of her performance.

00:58But speaking of canceling a performance,

01:00the Human Rights Foundation is asking Nicki Minaj to cancel her performance

01:04at the Jeddah World Fest in Saudi Arabia later this year.

01:08Their letter states that if Nicki were to move forward with her performance

01:11for the festival sponsored by the Crown Prince,

01:14she will be in league with people who respond to freedom of expression

01:17and thought with murder.

01:19The letter was sent out to Nicki as well as Robert Stevenson

01:22and Belle Adelson at Republic Records.

01:25At the time of this recording, none of them have responded to the letter.

01:28Now to A$AP Rocky, the rapper is being held in Sweden following a brawl last week.

01:33Rocky's lawyer spoke out in a video recently explaining

01:36why the judge sided with keeping Rocky in custody.

01:39The court found that he's suspected of an assault but not a severe assault

01:45as the prosecutor wanted.

01:49But the court unfortunately found that there is a risk of him leaving the country

01:54which is very unfortunate and I really don't understand why the court could find that

02:00because this is a very famous artist of course and he would be glad to come back to court trial later on.

02:08A$AP Ferg took to Instagram to talk about the situation and said Rocky is being held in solitary confinement

02:14with no visitors or phone call privileges and urged for the rapper's release.

02:19But okay, let's talk Cardi B because she got a little carried away during a recent performance in London

02:24and tossed her wig into the crowd.

02:27Afterwards, the rapper took to Instagram to say she wants the wig back

02:30and asked whoever has it to DM her.

02:32But alright guys, hit that sub like and bell button,

02:34follow me on social media at Ally Steggita

02:36and stick with us for all the latest.
