Miami’s 17-year-old musician Lil Pump is the most recent artist to sign onto Gucci Mane’s 1017 Eskimo Records label.
All week, there’s been rumors floating around that Lil Pump’s got a deal after wearing a 1017 chain on his Instagram. Finally, Dooney Battle of The Lights Global confirmed on his Instagram story that he did, captioning “Signing Day, Lil Pump signing day.” There aren’t any details upon the deal yet, but let’s be real we all know it’s a nice, high price given the long lasting bidding war for him. This year, the teenage rapper received a platinum plaque for his hot hit single, “Gucci Gang”. Congratulations to Lil Pump, Gucci Mane, and those apart on 1017 Eskimo Records. Keep an eye out for Lil Pump’s upcoming “Harvard Dropout” mix tape that’s on the way.

We’re going to hope that Chris Brown was serious when he announced his idea via Twitter about what he believes would be a CRAZY world tour. Indeed it would be with the line up Chris has in mind. The 28 year old tweeted: “Just thinking…A CRAZY WORLD TOUR would be Beyonce, Rihanna, Bruno Mars, CHRIS BROWN. ‘2 for 2’. And if y’all decide to do it without me… give me 10%.” Of course the mention of his ex girlfriend Rihanna raised some eyebrows. People also mentioned that Mars will be busy on his tour with Cardi B. Maybe one day Chris. We hope!
