B.o.B Announces Final Studio Album 'NAGA'

The decline in buzz that B.o.B has seen over the years is not experienced very often. He had everything going for him: platinum singles and albums, number 1 songs in the country, premium brand partnerships and everything else that a major artist hopes for. But somehow, it all began to slide around his third album Underground Luxury in 2013.

Kendrick Lamar Shakes Up The Super Bowl With Bold Drake Diss And Surprise Guests

Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl 59 halftime performance was nothing short of legendary, leaving fans buzzing with surprise cameos and bold moments that took his long-running feud with Drake to new heights. Kicking off with an unreleased song snippet and followed by “Squabble Up” from his latest album GNX, Kendrick immediately set the tone for a game-changing performance. Fans eagerly waited to see if Kendrick would play his diss track Not Like Us, especially with Drake's ongoing lawsuit against him and his label for defamation and harassment. Lamar's performance included an unexpected appearance by SZA and a quirky cameo from Serena Williams, along with Samuel L. Jackson’s comedic interruptions, all building the suspense around the Drake drama. In the middle of his performance, Kendrick turned up the heat, looking straight into the camera and directly addressing Drake with his famous lyrics, “I heard you like them young," as fans held their breath. Despite the tension, Kendrick censored himself when it came time to call Drake a "certified lover boy" and avoided saying “pedophile,” which had been widely speculated. Social media lit up with mixed reactions, with some fans mocking the performance as a "mid mashup" and others noting the intense hostility toward Drake. With the hashtag #KendrickBowl trending, it’s clear that Kendrick’s performance was a cultural moment that pushed boundaries—but has he gone too far, or is this just another chapter in hip-hop history? Only time will tell, and Drake has yet to respond.

What’s strange is, the music was still good and he was showing off his multi faced personality like B.o.B the guitarist more than ever, but there was something that wasn’t resonating with the audience. His last album Ether released last year had some solid music but it debuted at a dismal #179 position of the Billboard 200.

Bobby Ray has now announced his next studio album NAGA which will his final one. The name seems to have been taken from the old Indian term which means a member of the head-hunting community. Taking to Instagram, B.o.B has also shared the release date for the album: July 5th.

Last November, B.o.B released The Upside Down, which he called “the world’s first Instagram album.” It’s sad to see the talented artist go out like this but we hope he goes out with a bang.
