The Astronomical Kid’s run on X Factor finally came to an end last night, but perhaps the best is yet to come for the teenage sensation.
The 15-year-old rap prodigy from Brownsville, Brooklyn was voted off the show and failed to move into the final five contestants. Immediately following his elimination, however, rumors sparked that Jay-Z had signed him to Roc Nation.
Collin West, Astro’s step-father and manager, would neither confirm or deny the rumor when XXL reached out to him this morning, only offering with a laugh:
“We can’t talk about anything right now.”
West did state that Astro will be doing a full day of press in Los Angeles today, before returning to his hometown of New York City tomorrow. He also confirmed that Astro has already been booked on The Wendy Williams Show.
Perhaps that’s why the cocky, pint-sized MC seemed to take his elimination in stride.
“Hey, man, it’s for the better,” Astro told the show’s host Steve Jones after being cut. “The only reason I’m mad is ’cause I don’t get to see my girl that lives in Cali, but I will be back. … I love my time. I’ve gained a lot of fans.” –Mark Lelinwalla
astro said after being eliminated ” IT WAS FOR THE BETTER, I WAS OUT HERE TO SEE MY GIRLFRIEND ANYWAY”..what a loser, I dont care if he is 14, at that age you still should have learned sportsmanship and how to act with CLASS..he a punk kid and thats the bottom line, soear loser bitch…
And you are a dumb BITCH who cant spell! So who cares what you think you swine!
funny how lil bitches like you start internet beef and THEN call someone else an internet thug……i bet your poor single mother cant wait for you to move out you stoosh
how the hell am I starting internet beef??? tell me how u freak? i stated my opinion about astro being a immature brat, then i get a comment from EDITOR calling me a dumb bitch,…I HAVE A RIGHT TO STATE MY OPINION and SHOULDNT BE INSULTED FOR IT..now u starting with my SINGLE MOTHER?? i need to go to a site where the people are abit more educated..not my fault your moms dropped you too many times..peace..
if u have noting to write about Astro…shut up.
Everyone is hating because they have to work a 40 hour week getting minimum wage, You can’t tell me you’ve NEVER been cocky once in your life time…..And you can’t even tell me You can match up with his skill, 15 years old, and has more talent than you….More money too, That’s why your jealous, Because you failed yourself, Have fun flippin them burgers
You are a dumb bitch. You know him , he doesn’t know you, yet you call him a loser. Idiot, you the type of hoes i hate and send home without a cab fare
@editor, it was a misprint first of all..my finger slipped on the key pad..and you are a straight BATTI boy with ASTRO…i know for sure you a internet thug…mommy didnt hug you enough littlegirl…
not signed to roc nation – no one can sign any deals until the show is over and simon agrees to release him
@ the truth. First off, you quoted Astro wrong. He didn’t say it like that and he is arrogant and he is cocky a bit but he is very talented. He wrote original pieces every single week. His lyrics were great too. It’s ok you can hate on hip hop and Astro but you know what, at the end of the day you will be seeing a lot of that 15 year old kid. He didn’t win the competition but he gained way more. I know Jay Z is gonna take him under the wing. And while you sit there and hate he will go further then EVERYONE in that competition including the winner. And on that note suck a dick cause your a dumb ass bitch!
I have something to say about Astro. He’s an 11 year old piece of shit making hip hop looking like a mockery. No talent, and he has done covers, which nobody has made look good since Everlast. Fuck this punk.
you’re an ignorant jealous idiot!! dont be mad cuz ur a nobody wishin uuu were on tv! astro is a VERY TALENTED FIFTEEN yr old, and even if you DID think he was 11, whyyyy would u say something like that??? u damn sure dont need any kids…cant IMAGINE what u would say to them or about them
If u say astro has no talent,u’re a big 4 nothin fool
Astro is very talented. If you haters don’t like him, then keep your mouth shut. i bet you are more arrogant and useless. You will sit right there while astro will be busy hitting platinum.
Fuck astro! The mf sucks anyway!! All he does is cover someone else tracks anyway!! I can’t even believe he made it this far! Will see how you do if you are signed bitch! You not evn onna go copper!!
OMG STOP HATING ON THAT LIL BOY!!! U JUS MAD CUZ U SITTIN AT HOME WATCHIN HIS ASS ON TV!!! HATERS PISS ME OFF!!
Hate… hate… hate… The kid has talent and that’s a fact, not opinion. Every judge said so, and I think they know what they are talking about more then some non-business internet poster. Another fact is this kid will go far and has already. Five million will be pocket change to this kid in a few months. I think that’s what he meant by “it’s for the better”, because now he can start to work on his career instead of winning a competition. The kid did covers because that’s what the contest required but he also re-wrote all of the lyrics and made the songs his own. The kid did not curse or get out of line in his rhymes and that’s more skill then 90% of the garbage played today. I’m an Astronaut since I heard the kid spit the first time. Egotistical, yes. Cocky, yes – and that’s what you need to be the best. Astro WILL set a new ground for the music industry and be here for a very long time because it’s natural to him. I believe there are a few people from this show that will make it big and produce more talent then AI ever has. BTW non of you guys used proper grammar and it’s built in to browsers these days… Leave on a high note and bang it out…
Fuck asshole!! I mean astro! Dude sucked literally!! Real hip hop is not astro! Little smart ass bitch! Want to slap his lil ass..
Beatz,talk to me in a year when this lil clown who does not appreciate the door that’s been open is forgotten!
u sound like a bitter ass wanna be rapper thats jealous cuz a lil kid made it farther than u ever will lol IGNORANT IDIOT
