Rap royalty was in the house at billionaire sports mogul Michael Rubin’s Fourth of July party in the Hamptons over the weekend.
Inspired by Diddy’s legendary White Parties in the late ’90s and ’00s, the star-studded function — held at Rubin’s $50 million oceanfront estate — attracted Hip Hop A-listers such as JAY-Z, Drake, Travis Scott, 21 Savage, Lil Baby and more.
Footage from the exclusive bash shows the 6 God entertaining the crowd by performing his dance-influenced “Sticky,” from his latest album Honestly, Nevermind, as well as dueting with 21 Savage for “Knife Talk” and Lil Baby for “Yes Indeed.”
Travis Scott cranked the energy levels even higher by performing his Astroworld banger “No Bystanders,” while Lil Uzi Vert dusted off his 2017 hit “XO Tour Llif3” and Meek Mill and A$AP Ferg joined forces their “Me (FWM)” collaboration.
Although he didn’t jump on the mic, JAY-Z was seen chopping it up with La Flame in the middle of the party before watching the Fourth of July fireworks next to his wife Beyoncé. Hov also delivered bottles of his Ace of Spades champagne in custom cases that read “Michael Rubin’s White Party.”
DJ Khaled, Lil Durk, Quavo and Yo Gotti — who immortalized Rubin’s White Party on his CM10 track “Just Left the Hamptons” — were also in attendance alongside NBA stars such as James Harden, Carmelo Anthony, Jayson Tatum, Joel Embiid and Devin Booker.
Michael Rubin — who is the CEO of the sportswear company Fanatics and, until last month, part-owner of the Philadelphia 76ers — hosted his inaugural White Party in the Hamptons on July 4, 2021. The event boasted a similarly star-studded guest list, but it was overshadowed by an altercation between Travis Scott and Meek Mill.
The rappers’ heated exchange was caught on camera, with Meek shouting, “Don’t touch me, bro! I’m not touching nobody. I’m not even moving! Fuck Travis Scott. What is you doing!? This is my situation. Move, muthafucka. What you doing!? We don’t give no fucks about no Travis Scott! We don’t a fuck about no Travis Scott!”
Thankfully, no such incident took place this time around and the fact that Meek and Travis both performed at Rubin’s latest Hamptons party suggests they’ve put their issues behind them.
There’s maybe 250 people tops on that list for their party. Pretty easy to control culture when you look at it simply instead of over complicating things. All these rappers are just spokesmodels and pitchmen for. White billionaire organizations. They are high paid employees
Yep. Why the genre is in the shitter and not coming out anytime soon.
perform!! or ull never get endorsed peseants
Damn. This and that Bobby Shmurda epic records video giving off the same vibes fr. Selling out to the highest bidder or some shit.
So black men can’t be friends with wealthy white men without being a peasant to them?
Nope
Nothing to do with them being friends with them. The fact is that if they didn’t work for him, they wouldn’t be there. It’s another data point on how hip hop lost its edge. You could apply this to every genre of music too. Imagine the hard rock dudes going to a black tie event with the label boss and still be considered connected to real people.
Need a Hov album tho
He can smash me, all y’all can if you see me in the comments hmu. #iSwallow
Damn they skipped Juneteenth and partied on July 4th lol
Probably one of the corporate guys who ruined rap. Got all of the top commodities at his party. Then, some of you wonder why rap is where it’s at. Imagine Pac going to a Jimmy Iovine party in the 90s. Imagine the Geto Boys hanging out with David Geffen. It is what it is because they essentially work for him and other corporate heads, but that’s how far removed from the roots this rap shit is now.
u die first tho i never stood for like that youwant to go head
you don’t have to be an enemy of the state to be used as an agent and an agent may not necessarily be an enemy of the state these are the current conditions the field – good people do good faith things never think going wrong or “rogue” is any option. being a citizen is not as choice it is a requirement of all
