Yung Bleu releases Jeremy album
Yung Bleu has had a tumultuous year. Last August, his wife Tiemeria publicly accused him of cheating on Instagram. Then, in September, Bleu got into a heated online feud with Boosie BadAzz over a contract dispute. Everything came crashing down in October when the 30-year-old rapper was arrested and charged with domestic battery. According to TMZ, Blue is accused of assaulting a woman during an argument about his 10-year-old son.
Bygones are bygones, and Blue is ready to set the record straight with his new album, Jeremy. The record’s title is based on his real name, Jeremy Biddle, so you know it’s going to be personal. The album has a total of 17 songs, including Fridayy, Lil Wayne and Jacquees.
To promote the project, Blue shared a trailer for the album, which can be viewed below. In the video, the “You’re Mines Still” singer sits in a chair and recounts some of his past trials and tribulations in real time.
