Joey Bada$$ Won’t Perform Under Trinidad Jame$ On “Under The Influence” Tour
When it comes to live performances, Joey Bada$$ won't be put in the corner by anyone - and that includes his fellow XXL Freshman Class of 2013 member Trinidad Jame$.
In a series of Tweets that have since been deleted, the Flatbush rapper said that he would refuse to perform as an opening act on Wiz Khalifa and A$AP Rocky's "Under the Influence" Tour. He said that while he meant the Tweets as no disrespect to Trinidad Jame$, who appears after Bada$$ on the tour flier, he feels that he is more of an "APEX" artist.
If I'm under Trinidad James I'm not doing the Under The Influence Tour. Straight
