His mainstream debut was back in 2012 on a song titled Smile On Me which was produced by Jay Sleek. His latest release, Condo which was produced by E Kelly, is his biggest recor...

Kim K is defending her 17 year old sister Kylie Jenner who recently admitted having lip injections after lying about it for years, claiming the pumped up lips was as a result of make-up. Defending her Kim said Kylie has always wanted lips like hers and wondered why she wasn't blessed with it "What you’ll see on the show is, Kylie, for a really long time, she was over-lining her lips. That was her method. That really was the truth for a while, then she decided to plump them.
