Moneybagg Yo Drops 'Wockesha Remix' Featuring Lil Wayne, Ashanti

Moneybagg Yo dropped a remix of his A Gangsta's Pain track "Wockesha" on Thursday (September 23). The remix features Lil Wayne and Ashanti.

The remix sees Wayne offering an additional verse and a section helmed by Ashanti. In the original "Wockesha" video, Wayne had made a cameo.

Wayne begins the remix with his thoughts on "Wockesha" while Bagg takes the chorus, and Ashanti closes out the track, lending her vocals to a powerful verse.

"Some say the lean makes the drink seems spectacular / Wockesha ain't no activist, but she can act like her," Wayne raps. "Fire I'm blowing like King Koopa, Yoshi / Murder she wrote me with a purple emoji."

Ashanti, who added a sample from her 2002 hit "Foolish, added a new verse: "Double cup love, both got each other fiendin' / You better change yo habits / Cuz boy you fu**in' with a classic."

"Wockeshaw" topped Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart last month, peaked at No. 11 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart for the week ending September 4, and also earned Moneybagg his third Top 40 hit on the Hot 100, bowing out at No. 33 earlier this summer.

Beyoncé Shares Thoughtful Letter Thanking Fans For 40th Birthday Wishes

Beyoncé has posted an emotional letter thanking her fans who sent greetings through social media on her 40th Birthday on September 4.

A lengthy handwritten note that Queen B wrote to her fans, and published on her website Thursday, reads, "I'm so thankful for every inspiring human who took the time to send me all the beautiful messages."

"I cried tears of joy and was covered in chilly bumps. Your videos, your posts, your countdowns, your playlists, and your well wishes, I will cherish forever. I'm grateful to everyone involved, especially the fans for the time and level of detail it took to organize such beautiful tributes. I admire and respect all of you and I thank you from the bottom of my heart."

"This is the first year that I really understand what it means to be alive and to live in the moment," the Grammy award-winning pop star said looking back on a year that was dominated by the pandemic.

"It's the first time that I have an understanding of how fragile life truly is, how hard life can be at times, and therefore how important it is to stop and smell the roses during the good times," she added.

Beyoncé said she will cherish forever the videos, posts, countdowns, playlists and the well wishes that her fans shared on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter pages.

Later in the letter, the singer declared, "This has absolutely been the best I've felt in my life. I'm so grateful to be GROWN, GROWN!"
