Quavo Premieres New Song ‘Gilbert Arenas’ on ‘From the Block’: Watch

Quavo has been quietly active this year, releasing a slew of singles and features, most notably “Tough” with Lana Del Rey, which briefly sparked dating rumors. He was also involved in a rap battle with Chris Brown that was overshadowed by the madness that was Drake vs. Everybody.

He recently premiered a new song on the popular YouTube performance series From the Block entitled “Gilbert Arenas,” named after the former NBA star turned podcaster. “Yeah, top sh—t, b—ch, I mean it/Walk in the lobby, it’s too many opps/My gun out, Gilbert Arenas,” he sets things of with as he references the 2009 incident when Arenas and Washington Wizards teammate Javaris Crittenton brought unloaded guns into the locker room over a card game dispute (said incident also provided the Internet with this doozy of a picture.)

Arenas seems to be a fan of the song, as he quoted tweeted a clip of the performance with GIF from The Last Dance docuseries where Michael Jordan can be seen enjoying an unreleased Kenny Lattimore CD.

The Atlanta rapper name drops Kevin Durant, Gervonta Davis, Elon Musk, Kai Cenat, and Rod Wave, as well. He singled out the Cenat line while promoting the video in an Instagram post with a caption that reads: “Got 33 casr in the driveway/N—a, like Kai Cenat, but I ain’t streamin’!”

Quavo was recently in the news after his friend Rich Homie Quan suddenly passed. As he reminisced on his IG Stories about the fun times they had together, he mentioned that he and his estranged childhood friend Offset had a “good convo.”

Val Blavatnik to Oversee Warner Music Canada in New Role at Warner Music Group

Blavatnik will oversee Warner Music Canada as managing director of Warner Music North America, U.K. and Corporate Development at WMG. As part of a slew of executive announcements, Simon Robson will be leaving the company, while Alejandro Duque takes the top international role.

Val Blavatnik, the 28-year-old son of Warner Music Group majority owner and vice chairman Len Blavatnik, has been named managing director of Warner Music North America, U.K. and Corporate Development at the Warner Music Group, the company announced Friday (Sept. 25). In his new role the younger Blavatnik, who has held several roles at the company in recent years, and has been a board member since 2023, expects to “unify and drive business and operational strategy across these markets while guiding the company’s investment strategy to support growth,” according to a press release.

The Blavatnik announcement is part of a flurry of new executive announcements that CEO Robert Kyncl made this morning. In addition, Atlantic Music Group chairman/CEO Elliot Grainge will take on ADA in the U.S. as its new chairman, while Alejandro Duque, who has held the dual roles of president of Warner Latin and president of ADA since last July, has been named president of Warner Music International, adding Asia-Pacific and Europe, the Middle East and Africa under his oversight. (Duque will continue to oversee ADA outside the U.S.) Zach Friedman, currently COO at Atlantic Music Group, will add the title of vice chair of ADA U.S. to his resume.
