Jadakiss Explains Why He Pushed 'Ignatius' Album Back For Pop Smoke

by Daryl Nelson

Jadakiss recently spoke with For The Record about pushing back his Ignatius album because of Pop Smoke's Death.  

The album was supposed to come out on Feb. 28 and will now be out later this week. Before delaying the album, Jada pulled the single "Hunting Season" with Pusha T from streaming services. [Jump to 5:22 mark].

"Yeah, we held back to pay respect for Pop Smoke, the untimely passing and demise of Pop Smoke," he explained. "We actually pulled that song back and we pulled the project back as well [by] a week. Instead of February 28, the album is going to come out March 6. The song, the video is very artsy but it's a little crazy so, just to pay respect and shed light on that whole...you know."

"Even with Kobe and his daughter and the memorial and all that, it just didn't seem like the right time to release the song or the visual or the project," added Jada. "So we just pulled it back for a week. The song will be on the album ... Just after stuff dies down a little we'll let the visual out."

Are you looking forward to the Ignatius album?
