Young Thug Backtracks Metro Boomin Criticisms

(Radio.com) On Monday, it looked as though Young Thug was trying to add another name to his list of beefs. The rapper has been famously sparring with The Game, and Tuesday he started calling out St. Louis rapper Metro Boomin on Twitter.

The whole thing started when Metro Boomin, who has been a key player in Future's numerous and well-received mixtapes, went on Twitter and said other rappers shouldn't follow in Future's footsteps by releasing mixtape after mixtape. That might have worked for Future, he explained, but it wouldn't necessarily work for anyone else.

The seemingly innocuous comments didn't appear to be directed towards anyone in particular, but Young Thug saw it differently. He went on Twitter and began calling Metro Boomin out for not naming names in his so-called accusation. "Put some names on that s- lil boy," he tweeted the rapper.

After firing off a few more choice tweets, Young Thug backtracked and apologized for getting so worked up. "I have nun in the world against future I listen to his music His music makes me happy and I hope he continues to bless me and others with it," he wrote. See the tweets here.

Lee Brice Discusses Honoring Veterans Ahead Of Stars and Strings Show

(Radio.com) Tonight, Lee Brice will join an all star lineup of country acts to play a Veteran's Day concert, paying tribute to our veterans and their families. The first CBS Radio Stars and Strings event will feature the biggest names in country music, including Dierks Bentley, Gary Allan, Hunter Hayes, Jake Owen, Justin Moore, Kip Moore, Lee Brice, Little Big Town and the Band Perry.

The stripped-down acoustic show at the Chicago Theatre will see all of the artists perform solo and in various combinations for our nation's heroes and their families.

Brice, who comes from a family of soldiers, tells Radio.com that he is proud to perform: "My great granddaddy was in World War I, my grandaddy was in World War II, my uncle was in Viet Nam. My cousin was in the Navy, for years and years."

He gives credit to anyone who dedicates their career to helping or protecting others, but he says that those who enlist for the military are a special breed. "I have a lot of respect for cops and EMT workers, but they're not away from their home for all that time [as soldiers are]. You have to put yourself in those people's shoes. If you don't, then you're taking them for granted."

This is far from the first time he's played for soldiers, and he says he's always humbled by the experience. "I get almost embarrassed when I play for soldiers and they say, 'Thank you for being here.' Like, all I did was play music. I didn't do anything I don't usually do! If I could play a show and support them in any way, shape or form, or if I can sign some item, I'm glad to do it." Read more here.
