Doechii’s “Anxiety” has become an undeniable force online in 2025. The breakout single, which has sparked a wave of over 1.8 million TikTok videos, is at the center of a viral dance trend loosely inspired by The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air’s debut episode. The challenge has been picked up by everyone from the cast of The White Lotus to Will Smith himself. Even Sesame Street joined the wave! WOW.
But the momentum isn’t stopping there. The newly released official music video adds even more fuel to the blaze. Set inside a chaotic house, the visual features Doechii navigating a maze of expressive choreography. Sharp-eyed fans will notice a nod to Gotye’s“Somebody That I Used to Know,” the song Doechii samples in “Anxiety.” Her background characters sport the same iconic body-paint design made famous in the 2011 video.
The video also has a deeply personal layer, as a Doechii recreates her childhood bedroom. This is the same place she recorded the original version of “Anxiety” back in 2019. On top of that, her real-life twin sisters make appearances throughout the video! Now, they look like the eerie twins from The Shining, but that is another story.
“Anxiety” is a cultural statement and Doechii’s momentum shows no signs of slowing down.
Tory Lanez turned a court-mandated deposition into a circus of defiance, sarcasm and hair-related insults — all while seated in a California prison, facing questions tied to a lawsuit filed by Megan Thee Stallion.
The Canadian rapper, whose legal name is Daystar Peterson, was compelled to testify in Megan’s $10 million defamation suit against YouTuber Milagro Gramz (real name Milagro Cooper).
The lawsuit accuses Gramz of spreading false claims that Megan lied under oath, suffers from alcoholism, is mentally incompetent, and shared deepfake p### — all allegedly part of a coordinated smear campaign fueled by Lanez and his father from behind bars.
After resisting attempts to sit for the deposition, Lanez was finally forced to appear via Zoom on April 9, 2025. What followed wasn’t just combative — it was off-the-rails.
Early in the session, Tory Lanez made his tone crystal clear. When asked to confirm he understood he was under oath, he paused and said, “No, I don’t understand that.”
From there, things spiraled. When Megan’s attorney asked if he’d prepared for the deposition, Lanez fired back with an off-topic insult that immediately disrupted the process:
He then questioned whether Megan’s lawyer, Mari Henderson, was even allowed to question him, launching into a freewheeling speech about his rights.
“I want this to be known on record that I don’t trust this woman. I know that the fact that these people are the same people who have me in prison, wrongfully convicted of a crime that I did not commit, that no physical evidence even says that I have. I don’t trust this woman,” Tory Lanez said.
When reminded he was under oath and expected to answer clearly, Tory Lanez grew more agitated, mocking basic definitions after she asked about meeting with his lawyer to prepare the deposition.
He asked for the Webster’s dictionary definition of the word “meet” to clarify what Henderson meant.
“Meat could be a hot dog; meat could be a steak; meat could be red meat… You could watch p###. Meat — meat is a whole thing different over there,” the rapper said.
Later, after a break was called to fix his video feed, Tory Lanez returned with more distractions — now laser-focused on the prosecutor’s appearance:
“I just want to say on record that Ms. Henderson’s hair is distracting me.”
Megan’s legal team shut it down after nearly an hour of circular arguments, accusations and interruptions. Attorney Mari Henderson announced they would be filing a motion to compel Lanez to cooperate during a second round.
Here are more outrageous quotes — all said verbatim by Tory Lanez under oath:
“I don’t know why I can’t see the actions that my body is doing, if I’m being recorded…They had me seeing myself before. I was looking pretty good. Pretty damn good, if you ask me.”
“You’re not good with depositions. You didn’t want to give me the definition to the other s### either. Which is crazy ’cause aren’t you a lawyer?”
“She should have waited to wait for that hair dye. It is the wrong blonde.”
“What exactly do you mean by who is this man? Do you mean who is he spiritually? Do you mean who is he physically?· Do you mean who is he personally? Do you mean who is he, like, to me? What do you mean, Ms. Henderson? Please, clarify.”
“Your hair is distracting me. There’s a reason for what I am asking. Your hair is distracting me.”
“Why are you screaming? Please, lower your voice…You are making me feel threatened.”
“Change your hair next time. Just comb it at least. Will you ·comb it at least?”
Kanye West shares four children with ex-wife Kim Kardashian—North, Saint, Psalm and Chicago. According to a recent tweet from the divisive rapper/producer, he pays more than $200,000 a month in child support payments, which is apparently the highest figure in U.S. history.
Sitting significantly below West is Alex Rodriquez, who was ordered to pay Cynthia Scurtis roughly $115,000 per month. Talk show host/singer Kelly Clarkson agreed to pay Brandon Blackstock $45,600 in monthly child support, while Nas was ordered to pay Kelis $44,000 in monthly alimony and child support.
Then there’s Nick Cannon, who pays out approximately $3 million a year to his 12 children with four different women, taking a non-traditional approach to child support.
West and Kardashian married in May 2014 but began facing significant challenges in their relationship by late 2020, leading Kardashian to file for divorce in February 2021. The split was reportedly amicable, with both parties agreeing to joint custody of their four children.
In addition to the $200,000 per month in child support, the divorce settlement included half of the children’s educational and security expenses.
Throughout the divorce proceedings, Kardashian opened up about her struggles with the marriage on Keeping Up With the Kardashians and its Hulu successor, The Kardashians. She described feeling overwhelmed by the need to “clean up” West’s public controversies and his relocation to Wyoming, which strained their relationship further.
Kardashian admitted that she wanted a more grounded partner who shared her interests and could be present for day-to-day experiences. Meanwhile, West publicly expressed regret over the split, even attempting to reconcile during his performances.
Most recently, West claimed he never wanted children with Kardashian and insisted she “sex traffics” them. But that’s just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. West has fired several other outrageous tweets, including one about wanting to recreate the infamous Ray J sex tape that put Kardashian on the map.
Jalen Hurts Faces White House Dilemma As Eagles Head Toward Trump Meeting
Champion Jalen Hurtsand Donald Trump might just be the two most reluctant dance partners in America right now. As the Philadelphia Eagles prepare to make their ceremonial trip to the White House after another Super Bowl run, rumors are flying faster than an A.J. Brown slant route. Word on the block is that Hurts might skip the whole thing.
Now, if you know your recent NFL history, you remember the first time the Eagles won the Super Bowl a few years back. They gave Trump the ultimate stiff arm. They took a stand and did not show up at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue at all. Good for them.
Donald Trump somehow found himself reelected president. Let’s be real, Elon and his tech bros rigged the election for the diaper-wearer-in-chief. The Eagles are back on top as champs and expected to visit the White House on Monday.
Early reports suggested the Birds might boycott again. But in today’s climate, where unchecked power looms heavy and retaliation is real, it seems the organization as a whole is tiptoeing carefully. I hate it, but I also understand. Jalen Hurts? The young king is being quiet about what he plans to do. When asked if he would attend, Hurts gave a textbook non-answer. That only manes the rumor mill go crazier.
Jalen Hurts was asked if he plans on visiting the White House next week. #FlyEaglesFly
Before this, there were already whispers that Hurts planned to sit this one out. It’s still anyone’s guess if he’ll go. This isn’t an easy call. In a perfect world, he’d move on principle alone. In reality, there’s team dynamics, owner pressure, and all the messy politics.
Do not forget the fact that Donald Trump openly rooted against the Eagles just a few months when they faced off against the Chiefs in the Super Bowl. He LEFT at halftime once it was clear Mahomes and company were cooked like roasted ducks.
Hurts has already proven he’s built different.
I am hoping the Eagles can run it back and catch another W this season! For the culture!
The 35-year-old ex-lawmaker from New York will serve 87 months behind bars after pleading guilty last August to wire fraud, aggravated identity theft and theft of public funds.
Prosecutors said George Santos used fake campaign documents, stole donor identities and even collected pandemic-era unemployment benefits while running for office.
He’s also on the hook for $373,000 in restitution and a $205,000 forfeiture judgment and will be under supervised release for two years after serving his sentence.
The sentencing caps a spectacular fall from grace for the embattled Republican, who was expelled from Congress in December 2023 following a scathing House Ethics Committee report that detailed widespread misconduct.
Prosecutors described George Santos as a “pathological liar and fraudster” who showed “no genuine remorse.”
But before his legal troubles reached a boiling point, Santos made headlines for a different kind of controversy involving Nicki Minaj, COVID-19 vaccines and a now-infamous tweet about swollen testicles.
In 2021, during the pandemic, Nicki Minaj tweeted: “My cousin in Trinidad won’t get the vaccine cuz his friend got it & became impotent. His testicles became swollen. His friend was weeks away from getting married, now the girl called off the wedding. So just pray on it & make sure you’re comfortable with ur decision, not bullied.”
The post quickly went viral and was condemned by everyone from Joy Reid to Dr. Terrence Deyalsingh, the health minister of Trinidad and Tobago.
In 2023, Santos introduced a bill called the Medical Information Nuanced Accountability Judgement Act, or MINAJ Act, a nod to the rapper’s claim.
The bill aimed to establish a development period for new vaccines to boost public confidence. Unfortunately for Santos, the bill was never passed.
President Donald Trump suffered a major legal defeat on April 24 as federal judges in Maryland, New Hampshire and Washington D.C. halted his administration’s attempt to cut off billions in federal funding to K-12 public schools over diversity, equity and inclusion programs.
The rulings came after a wave of lawsuits from teachers’ unions and civil rights groups, who argued the policy was unconstitutional and “unconstitutionally vague.”
Judges agreed, pointing out that the administration failed to define what counts as a DEI initiative, making enforcement arbitrary and legally shaky.
The blocked policy would have required schools to certify that they were not engaging in what the administration called “discriminatory” DEI practices to keep federal support—especially Title I funds, which serve low-income students.
The Education Department had issued a warning in February, threatening to withhold funding unless schools dismantled DEI programs.
Critics said the policy could have chilled classroom discussions about race and history and disrupted school operations already facing resource shortages.
The injunction prevents the Education Department from enforcing the policy against the plaintiffs and their affiliates, though the rulings are not yet nationwide.
While the administration is expected to appeal, the decisions mark a significant blow to President Donald Trump’s broader campaign to dismantle DEI efforts across federal agencies and public institutions.
This is just the latest in a string of courtroom losses for Trump since returning to office in January 2025. Judges have also blocked his efforts to:
Cut off federal funding to sanctuary cities, require proof of citizenship for voter registration, fire thousands of federal employees en masse, freeze federal grants and foreign aid, transfer transgender women inmates to male prisons and arrest immigrants in places of worship.
He also flopped on his attempt to shut down the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, deport individuals in violation of court settlements and dissolve the U.S. Agency for International Development.
Two judges who ruled against the DEI policy were appointed by Trump himself, adding to the sting of the defeat.
The administration’s attempt to sidestep Congress—where education funding is ultimately controlled—has drawn criticism from lawmakers and legal experts who say the executive branch overreached its authority.
The legal battle is far from over, but the court orders stand for now.
Diddy was caught on hotel surveillance attacking Cassie Ventura in 2016 during a disturbing incident the federal government has now officially detailed for the first time.
Federal prosecutors have laid out a precise timeline behind the now-infamous video showing the Bad Boy Records mogul assaulting Ventura at the Intercontinental Hotel in Los Angeles—marking the first time authorities have publicly confirmed the sequence of events surrounding the violent footage.
According to newly disclosed court documents, the assault occurred on March 5, 2016, around 11 a.m. PT, shortly after Ventura tried to leave their hotel room. Diddy, wearing only a towel, chased her to the elevator and then physically attacked her—punching, kicking, dragging her and hurling objects in her direction. The entire incident was captured by hotel security cameras.
The night before (March 4), Diddy and a male commercial sex worker had participated in what was described in the documents as a “Freak-Off” inside the same hotel room. The assault on Ventura followed the next morning.
A hotel security guard responded to the scene in the elevator lobby and later escorted Ventura back to the room to collect her belongings. Portions of what happened after that remain redacted in the official filings.
The footage remained out of the public eye until May 17, 2024, when CNN aired clips from the hotel surveillance video. The Department of Justice confirmed it preserved the publicly available footage but could not force CNN to hand over the full video unless the network agreed to do so voluntarily. CNN declined.
“I make no excuses,” he said. “My behavior on that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video. Disgusted. I was disgusted then when I did it. I am disgusted now. . . . I’m so sorry.”
Prosecutors noted that Diddy never challenged the authenticity of the video, which has become the subject of an intense legal battle between prosecutors, who want to use the video and diddy’s defense team, who want to ban it from trial.
“At no point did the defendant dispute the accuracy of the video or the events it depicted,” the filing stated.
The government also confirmed it will call witnesses with direct knowledge of the incident or the recording.
Offset was catching heat on social media after posting about children and the internet, with fans calling him a hypocrite.
The Atlanta native fired off a warning shot on social media, telling critics, “Kids off limits ” in a tweet that quickly ignited backlash.
While some users backed the Atlanta rapper’s stance, others accused him of hypocrisy, pointing to his past defense of rapper Bia after she referenced his children. One reply read, “Didn’t you just defend Bia when she mentioned both of your children ??”
Another user didn’t hold back, writing, “baby you been playing in this womans face for years fck what a n#### like you gotta say.”
A third added, “Kids should be off limits but you [don’t give a f###]. If you did, you would be making a public announcement like you announce and address your ex wife.”
Offset doubled down with a second tweet, pleading, “Stop posting inappropriate stuff with my kids on this app please!!”
Nonetheless, it only fueled more criticism, with users questioning why his children were visible online at all.
The 32-year-old father of six shares children with four different women. His oldest, Jordan Cephus, was born in 2009. He also has Kody (born 2015) and Kalea (also born 2015) from previous relationships. With Cardi B, he shares Kulture (born 2018), Wave (born 2021) and a newborn daughter born September 7, 2024. the former couple has not revealed her name.
As the online debate escalated, trolls took aim at Offset’s music career, calling him the “worst” member of Migos and claiming he “fell off.” Offset fired back at some users before deleting several of his posts.
Offset Hints At New Album
The drama came just days after Offset teased a new solo album.
On April 24, he posted a studio photo with the caption “Album trimmer than you,” prompting mixed reactions. While some showed support, others mocked the announcement with replies like “we will not be streaming” and “No ones buying that album boo.”
Offset responded with a photo of himself performing, smiling into the mic. The caption? A string of laughing emojis and a ghost emoji. One user defended him, asking, “Why mf be hating on Set?? F## he do to yall.” Offset replied, “The money don’t stop trust.”
The Migos alum has been promoting solo work since February, when he dropped “TEN,” a dancehall-infused track that raised eyebrows for lyrics seemingly aimed at estranged wife Cardi B.
Offset and Cardi’s split has played out publicly since she filed for divorce in August 2024 while pregnant with their third child. Cardi has accused him of harassment and emotional manipulation, claiming, “He was pleading for his life, begging me to keep quiet” and “harasses me, leaves voicemails, tries to lower my self-esteem.”
Despite the tension, Offset appeared unfazed when Cardi was spotted dancing with NFL player Stefon Diggs at Coachella 2025, commenting, “I’m happy for her!!”
Kanye West unleashed a barrage of accusations and personal grievances during a livestream with producer Digital Nas, claiming he was the reason A$AP Rocky walked free from jail and slamming the rapper for not speaking up about West’s ongoing issues with his children and ex-wife Kim Kardashian.
The divisive rapper didn’t hold back while venting about his daughter North West’s appearance in FKA Twigs’ music video “Childlike Things,” using the moment to take aim at the Kardashians, Kris Jenner and what he described as the silence of Black celebrities.
He then pivoted to A$AP Rocky, claiming he personally intervened to help secure the rapper’s release from Swedish custody in 2019 and expressing disappointment that Rocky hasn’t publicly backed him.
“Y’all saying Rocky should say something, man,” West stated. “I called Trump and got that man out of prison, man. He supposed to be making a diss record for them.”
Ye talks about FKA Twigs collaborating with North without his consent and mentions Kris’s influence over decisions involving his children pic.twitter.com/vGJtYjMDxU
Kanye West’s comments likely reference A$AP Rocky’s high-profile arrest in Sweden in July 2019, which escalated into an international incident.
Then-President Donald Trump publicly advocated for Rocky’s release, tweeting, “Give ASAP Rocky his freedom” and later adding, “Sweden has let our African American community down.”
Trump even called Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Löfven, though Löfven declined to interfere with the country’s judicial process.
Rocky was ultimately convicted of assault but avoided jail time, receiving a suspended sentence and being ordered to pay damages.
In the 2021 documentary Stockholm Syndrome, Rocky said Trump’s involvement “made it a little worse,” suggesting the political spotlight complicated the case.
West, however, appears to believe his own efforts were instrumental.
50 Cent didn’t hold back when he roasted Trey Songz for trying to square up with undefeated boxing champ Terence “Bud” Crawford during 2022’s Tycoon Weekend in Houston — all over a $100 basketball bet.
The Hip-Hop mogul confirmed Crawford’s retelling of the bizarre moment during a recent podcast tour, jumping online early Friday morning to clown the R&B singer’s decision-making.
“This is true Trey ain’t no sucker,” 50 wrote. “He will fight anybody. I just saw it was Bud and said, this [ninja] could beat up everybody here if we jumped him. you dumb mother f##### what you want to fight him for. The R&B [ninja]’s gotta go! LOL”
Crawford had already detailed the incident on Cigar Talk, explaining that the tension started during halftime of a pickup basketball game when Songz challenged him to a shooting contest.
“He said, ‘Shot for shot, bet $100,’” Crawford recalled. “I shoot, I make it, boom. He shot, he missed… I said, ‘So you got me a $100?’ He was like, ‘Bet that.’”
Things escalated quickly. Speaking on Club Shay Shay, Crawford admitted he nearly lost his cool.
“I wasn’t gonna punch him, I was gonna choke him,” he said. “I wanna choke you, I don’t even wanna punch you.”
Crawford also questioned Songz’s state of mind that day.
“I don’t know if dude was drunk or something, but he just started tripping… I think he might be on drugs or something.”
Terence Crawford Recalls 50 Cent Intervening Before Trey Songz Threw A Punch
Luckily, 50 stepped in before things got physical.
“50 come over like, ‘Woaaaah… Hold up, man. T, don’t f### up the bag on this n####,’” Crawford said.
Later that evening, the tension had cooled off. At a dinner event, 50 Cent joked about the near-fight on stage.
“We got Bud about to beat up Trey Songz,” he said, prompting laughter from the crowd. Songz reportedly laughed it off and gave Crawford a dap.
But this wasn’t the first time 50 Cent called out issues with Songz’s behavior at Tycoon Weekend. Back in September 2022, 50 publicly banned him from future events, citing past incidents.
“Last TYCOON he crashed a Wraith,” 50 posted. “This TYCOON he was acting crazy, wanting to fight and s### over the girls. He broke some s### up in his room. Nah tell @treysongz he can’t come. SMH.”
Donald Trump has rolled out “Trump 2028” gear through his company’s online store in April 2025, fueling speculation about a possible third presidential bid despite constitutional limits.
The merchandise—red caps for $50, T-shirts for $36 and beer koozies for $18—features slogans like “Rewrite the Rules” and “The future looks bright,” phrases that appear to nod at Trump’s long-running hints that he’s not done with the Oval Office just yet.
Trump told NBC News in March, “A lot of people want me to do it… I’m not joking.” He previously told Time magazine he “wouldn’t be in favor” of the 22nd Amendment, which restricts presidents to two terms.
The 22nd Amendment, ratified in 1951, clearly bars any U.S. president from serving more than two terms.
However, Trump and his allies have repeatedly floated the idea of finding a workaround. “We’re working on it,” former White House strategist Steve Bannon said, claiming a “team” is exploring legal avenues to challenge the rule.
The Trump Organization’s online store leans into the idea with product descriptions encouraging buyers to “make a statement” and “change the game.” The marketing language mirrors Trump’s long-standing strategy of turning political controversy into brand loyalty.
Eric Trump Hints At Donald Trump’s 2028 Run- “Never Say Never”
Eric Trump joined the promotional push by posting a photo of himself wearing the red “Trump 2028” hat on social media with the caption “#NeverSayNever.”
Asked about the merchandise, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told NBC News, “Refer to the Trump Organization since it’s their website,” before adding, “But it’s a cool hat, and I suspect it will be highly popular!”
Nonetheless, legal experts say a third term remains out of reach despite the buzz. Constitutional scholars have called the idea “fanciful” and “unconstitutional.”
Still, Rep. Andy Ogles, a Republican from Tennessee, introduced a bill to exempt Trump from term limits—a move widely seen as symbolic with little chance of passing.
Critics argue the merchandise campaign is more than just a marketing stunt. Some Democrats and legal analysts say it erodes democratic norms and flirts with authoritarian messaging.
Young Thug has returned to the spotlight with a new single, linking up with Future on “Money on Money” just months after walking out of jail.
Released Friday (April 25), accompanied by a slick music video, the track marks Thug’s first solo drop since his October 2024 release and serves as the lead single for his highly-anticipated upcoming album UY SCUTI.
The song, produced by Southside, Wheezy Outta Here and Dez Wright, features Thug’s signature melodic flexing and Future’s slick delivery.
“Money on money, these millions, you dig?/Gon’ spend in this s### on my b#### and my kids,” Thug raps, while Future adds, “Spoiled little b#### wearin’ a Patek/Rose gold snake, she a baddie.”
Young Thug, Future – Money On Money
The song’s release followed a cryptic post on X, where Thug wrote, “It’s time. Red Planet,” alongside the launch of a merchandise site selling UY SCUTI vinyl, CDs and apparel. The album is expected to drop in May.
Thug and Future’s chemistry is nothing new. The duo first teamed up for their 2017 joint project Super Slimey and later collaborated on chart-toppers like “Relationship,” “Pushin P” with Gunna and “Way Too Sexy” with Drake.
According to Lil Baby, Thug was still pulling strings behind bars. “He was like, ‘Aye, call Pluto. I want y’all to do a tape together,'” Baby said during Spotify’s A Day in the Life. He also hinted at a possible trio project, saying, “We might have something big in store… [Thug] ‘s a lab rat. All he do is stay in the studio.”
Thug’s post-prison momentum has been building. After accepting a plea deal that gave him 15 years probation, he’s been working closely with Metro Boomin on the new album.
He’s also set to take the stage at Summer Smash 2025 in June, performing alongside Future.
The album title, UY SCUTI, is a nod to one of the largest known stars in the universe, a fitting metaphor for Thug’s ambitions. He first teased the project last month, and even wore a custom “UY SCUTI” jersey courtside at a Miami Heat vs. Golden State Warriors game. His girlfriend, singer Mariah The Scientist, sat beside him, holding a matching jersey that read “The Scientist.”
Boosie Badazz clapped back at Kanye West with a graphic and profanity-laced post on X after West insulted him during a livestream, calling him “poor” and saying he “smells.”
West made the remarks during a recent live stream with producer Digital Nas. “I know that n#### smell poor and I’ve never met him,” West said of Boosie. “That n#### is poor; what the f### I’m talking about, smell?”
He added, “They took a p############ and made him smell s###. He talking himself.”
Boosie didn’t hold back in his response. The Baton Rouge rapper posted a heavily edited image of West appearing to perform oral sex on a man, clearly referencing West’s controversial lyrics from his recent track “Cousins.”
“I SMELL LOL NEVER,” he tweeted Thursday night (April 24). “YOUR MOUTH [SMELLS] LIKE A HAM N CHEESE HOT POCKET WHEN IT COME OUT THE MICROWAVE!! WHAT U NEED TO DO IS WATCH WHAT U TWEET BRO.”
Boosie continued, “U HAVE SONS WHO LOOK UP TO U N VALUE YOUR WORDS. U JUST MOTIVATED YOUR SON TO PUT A DICK N HIS MOUTH. YOURE MAKING YOUR SON SUSPICIOUS OF WHAT A DICK TASTE LIKE!! Ye ‘The professional dick sucker.’”
The reason behind West’s outburst remains unclear, but it follows previous tension between the two artists.
Kanye West Reacts To Boosie’s Car Crash
Earlier this month, after Boosie was involved in a car crash, West posted a now-deleted tweet implying divine retribution was at play.
“Man, can everyone let this be a lesson: Don’t have handlers make you go against God’s favorite,” West wrote, hinting that those who cross him face consequences.
Despite their rocky history, Boosie had recently expressed sympathy for West after the rapper revealed disturbing childhood experiences in his song “Cousins.”
“DAM KANYE I FEEL BAD FOR THIS DUDE THIS DUDE BEEN THREW SOME S### BRA. THE RANTS MAKE SINCE NOW. THIS MAN WAS SUCKING DICK AS A CHILD,” Boosie wrote on X.
He continued, “SMH HIS MIND IS F##### UP I HATE HIM HAVING TO GO THROUGH THIS AS A CHILD THIS MAN COMING FOR ANY N EVERYONE WITH A RAPTURE WHOEVER WRONGED HIM N THEY IN TROUBLE.”
The two have clashed before, including when Boosie publicly criticized West for wearing a “White Lives Matter” shirt and commenting on civil rights icons.
Ye’s latest single, “Cousins,” has drawn intense scrutiny not only for its explicit lyrics about incest and now the rapper is courting even more controversy – in a more subtle manner.
The artwork for “Cousins” features a painting once owned by Adolf Hitler, further fueling concerns about the rapper’s repeated admiration for the Nazi dictator.
The cover image for “Cousins,” now streaming on all major platforms, is “Leda mit dem Schwan” by German artist Paul Mathias Padua.
The painting, which depicts the Greek myth of Zeus seducing Leda in the form of a swan, was purchased by Hitler and displayed in his second bedroom at the Berghof, his mountain retreat in Bavaria.
The mythological theme was consistent with Hitler’s preference for classical images that aligned with Nazi ideals of A#### beauty.
The Leda and the Swan motif has appeared in Western art since at least 1508, when Leonardo da Vinci created his own version.
However, Padua’s interpretation gained notoriety due to its Nazi ties.
The artwork is in line with Ye’s long-documented praise of Hitler. In 2025, he posted “I love Hitler” and “I’m a Nazi” on social media, echoing earlier comments from a 2022 interview with Alex Jones, where he said, “Every human being has something of value that they brought to the table, especially Hitler.”
Ye’s fascination with Hitler is not new. Former collaborators have said he read Mein Kampf and once considered naming an album after the dictator.
“Cousins” is no less controversial.
Ye details a sexual relationship with his male cousin that began in childhood and continued until he was 14. He describes how they read adult magazines together and reenacted what they saw.
He links his behavior to his cousin’s later crime—murdering a pregnant woman, for which he is now serving a life sentence.
Oh man, the internet is a horrible place. I have to admit, I lurk in some of the darkest corners online. And while I’m there, I see some wild things—like, truly terrible. I don’t even know how I come across them, but somehow, they show up. Sometimes they’re rooted in reality and other times..not at all.
Take this Shannon Sharpe situation. My guy might lose his ESPN job and a possible $100 million deal because of a YT Only Fans woman. People are calling him “Unc,” but at this point, he might be “Gramps” in real life. I can’t say exactly what happened, but this whole thing feels like a finesse. I’m not sure he’s out here “taking it.” It looks like they had some kind of weird “thing” going on that’s sketchy to us regular folks—but probably feels normal to them.
What’s definitely not normal is that she was 19 when they met, and he was 54. She’s now 20, and he’s 56. That’s… strange. But she’s allegedly an “OF model,” which puts some of it into perspective. With over 500,000 followers on Instagram, it kind of starts to make more sense.
I say all that to say—look what the internet did with this mess. AB put a battery in this one.
They made one of those weird AI dolls of Shannon Sharpe and his accuser bae. That’s wild. Disrespectful? Maybe. Funny? Also maybe. But one thing’s for sure: y’all can’t have anything without misusing it.
Now here’s part two of why the internet is a terrible place—what did Will Smith do to deserve this? Last time I checked, Big Will was that guy—someone we could count on to rep the culture in Hollywood. He’s given us movie after movie, hit after hit. One flop and y’all lose your minds. Just look at this below.
Whoever posted this clip didn’t even care about the context. They just ran with it and slandered our “Prince” of Hip-Hop. But here’s the thing: this is actually from a video Will posted earlier this year.
Makes a bit more sense now, right? The original poster tried to clean it up and show some love afterward, but I feel like the damage is already done. SAD!
50 Cent has followed through on his warnings about Skill House by filing a $5 million lawsuit in Los Angeles to stop the horror film’s release, claiming he never signed off on using his name, image or voice.
And if you know 50, maybe the most grave mistake was playing with his money – because he claims he was never paid for his work on the project.
The Hip-Hop mogul is taking legal action against producer Ryan Kavanaugh and Skill House Movie LLC, accusing them of falsely promoting the movie as a “50 Cent Movie” and listing him as a star and producer without a finalized contract.
According to the lawsuit, Fif never authorized the use of his likeness or voice and says he was never compensated for his acting role or promotional involvement.
The dispute centers on 50 Cent’s claim that no final agreement was ever signed and that he would not have participated in the project without creative control and a formal deal.
The lawsuit states that the producers “have no signed agreement with Jackson, yet they continue to exploit his name and image.”
The legal filing follows weeks of public criticism from 50 Cent, who has repeatedly called out Kavanaugh online, referencing the producer’s past financial and legal issues, including his DUI.
Skill House was initially scheduled to premiere in July 2025 as part of the launch of the GenTV streaming platform. The lawsuit may prevent the film from ever seeing the light of day.
The suit seeks at least $5 million in damages and punitive damages and it asks the court to block the film’s release entirely until the matter is resolved in court.
We are getting some leftover Dreamville Festival content and it is giving us some good rumors! One of our favorite moments was a cool chat between Grammy-winning rapper Rapsody and actress Gail Bean. We know Gail from a lot of things, but she became an icon through her role as Wanda Bell on FX’s Snowfall. The duo caught up with Chuck Jigsaw Creekmur and they had a lot of laughs and fun that gave us some solid rumors.
Then there’s Gail Bean, who’s captivated audiences with her portrayal of Wanda Bell in Snowfall. Starting as a young woman entangled in the drug scene of 1980s Los Angeles, Wanda’s character arc has been one of redemption and resilience. I love it.
A Potential Collaboration in the Works?
During their conversation with Jigsaw, Bean hinted at the possibility of Rapsody joining the upcoming Snowfall spin-off. “In the new season, you’re gonna see music,” Bean teased. “So maybe we can get a Grammy Award-winning, beautiful, amazing Black woman to come play a character.” Say less!
You gotta see the video to see Rapsody, Gail and Jigsaw create a new song on the spot about her getting her SAG card. “She gonna get that SAG card!” Bean yelled. You gotta see how how she gives love to Rap! And vice-versa The camaraderie between Rapsody and Bean was palpable. “Gail inspires me every time,” Rapsody said.
Here is a transcript!
Jigsaw: AllHipHop is here with two legends—one Hollywood, one not quite Hollywood, but since you got a Grammy, we putting you in Hollywood too!
Gail Bean: [Laughs] Rapsody!
Rapsody: Speak life!
Jigsaw: Speak life, that’s a fact! First off—how y’all doing? We’re out here at Dreamville. The sun gave us some grace today, some mercy. Y’all good?
Rapsody: I didn’t get out here till 5:30. I knew what was up.
Gail: I’ve been out here for a minute, but I ain’t gonna lie—seeing Rapsody brightened my day. Refreshed my armpits—I’m feeling good!
Jigsaw: Refreshed your armpits!
Rapsody: Yeah, I got up and hovered by! (Rap was on crutches.)
Gail: You made my day too!
Jigsaw: Gail, I gotta ask—you’ve got a Snowfall spin-off coming. I’m excited. I loved your character’s arc. Can you tell us a little bit about the new season?
Gail: In the new season, you’re gonna see music—so hopefully, we can bring in someone special. You know what? There is music. So maybe we can get a Grammy Award-winning, beautiful, amazing Black woman to come play a character. I think me and her, side-by-side, would be fire. There are some real icons and legends from the ’90s LA music scene—especially powerhouse women—and we could both represent that.
You’re gonna see gangs, the ’90s, LA culture—it’s deep. That era is my favorite. The story is beautiful. I can’t say too much… but I said enough!
Jigsaw: And Rap’s already got the beanie on—she’s ready. Fit, fly, official!
Rapsody: Gail inspires me. Every time.
Jigsaw: That’s beautiful.
Gail: Yes! If you haven’t streamed Rapsody’s latest album, go stream it right now! Let us know your favorite track, drop lyrics on Twitter, IG, TikTok—run it up.
Jigsaw: We didn’t even catch you on the red carpet at the Grammys. You were in full zone.
Rapsody: Man, my feet were hurting!
Gail: Should’ve caught her after she won!
Rapsody: But I’m catching y’all here—and this is perfect.
Jigsaw: When the show hits, we streaming it. All the streams! You heard it here first: Gail Bean and Rapsody in the Snowfall spin-off!
The son of former NBA All-Star Gilbert Arenas, Alijah Arenas, suffered life-threatening injuries in a violent car crash in Los Angeles early Thursday morning.
The accident placed the 18-year-old basketball phenom and USC commit in critical condition and cast uncertainty over his promising future in the sport.
According to authorities, the collision occurred around 4:55 a.m. on April 24 in the 7900 block of Corbin Avenue in the Reseda neighborhood.
Arenas was behind the wheel of a Tesla Cybertruck when the vehicle slammed into a fire hydrant and a tree. First responders arrived to find the truck engulfed in flames and heavily damaged.
As of the latest reports, he remains in serious condition.
Arenasis is widely regarded as one of the country’s top high school basketball players.
A five-star recruit, he recently reclassified to the class of 2025 and committed to play for USC, turning down offers from powerhouse programs, including Kentucky, Kansas, Arizona and Louisville.
The Chatsworth High School standout made history by becoming the first player in LA City Section history to surpass 3,000 career points in just three varsity seasons.
He also led his team to consecutive CIF State final appearances and a regional title.
Arenas was named co-City Player of the Year, earned High School SI’s SoCal Offensive Player of the Year honors and scored 11 points in the 2025 McDonald’s All-American Game.
His sudden hospitalization has stunned the basketball world, as many had pegged him as a future NBA star.
Kanye West’s wife, Bianca Censori, appears to be firmly back by his side despite their rumored separation over his troubling tweets.
On Thursday (April 24), West appeared in a stream with Digital Nas and revealed he was spending time at a retreat in Spain. Some of the most viral and or controversial moments from the stream include a rant in which West speaks on Spanish Holy Week processions and Hitler while saying Jews are meant to be workers.
In a subsequent plea, the Chicago native called on streamers such as Adin Ross and Sneako to promote the rollout of his upcoming CUCK album, making his belief clear that they would comply with his request if they believed in God.

Neither of the clips spawned from West’s aforementioned rants have gained as much traction online, as the brief clip of his rumored estranged wife accidentally making an appearance on the stream.
“Are they streaming outside,” Censori responded to one of West’s associates, who alerted her she was on stream. “Oh s###,” she concluded while covering the phone’s camera with her hand once she realized she was blocking the stream.
Though the tweet above featuring the clip has racked up well over a million views in a matter of hours, it’s hardly the only piece of content linking West to Censori, who West claimed left him on April 3. The pair were also spotted having dinner at Indian fusion restaurant Cala d’Or on the Balearic Island of Majorca in Spain. On top of that, West and Censori began trending on social media on April 24 after video captured the pair reportedly visiting a sex shop in Spain together.
Unc has 99 problems and, well, here’s another one.
Shannon Sharpe‘s career is being torn apart. He’s already under the spotlight due to a $50 million r#pe lawsuit! Now, he has a new explosive new allegation! He allegedly choked a female production assistant during his time at FS1’s Undisputed. Whoa!
Two sources with knowledge of the incident told Front Office Sports that while Sharpe was cohosting Undisputed between 2016 and 2023, a serious workplace altercation occurred in which he allegedly put his hands on a female colleague in a choking motion. The sources say the matter never saw a courtroom but was quietly settled for several hundred thousand dollars. No formal charges or lawsuits were ever filed.
Sharpe’s camp quickly responded with a deflection, claiming, “There was no incident of choking involving Shannon on the FS1 set. On one occasion, he and a few colleagues were involved in some light physical interaction in a playful context.” Fox Sports chose not to comment, maintaining a firm “no response” stance when contacted.
This newly surfaced claim, whether “playful” or not, drops into a highly charged moment for Sharpe, who’s already under legal pressure in a Nevada civil case where a woman accuses him of rape during a rocky relationship that began when she was 19. That woman is represented by Tony Buzbee. This lawyer is best known for suing Jay-Z. All of this lines up because he recently leaked audio of Sharpe threatening to choke the plaintiff.
We’re putting this in the rumors, but it would fit right in the news very nicely based on the charges. I think we’re trying to give Unc the benefit of the doubt even thought it looks pretty bad.
Sharpe’s lawyer, Lanny Davis, didn’t deny the “choking” audio was real, but said it was taken out of context and was part of consensual “role-play” during the relationship. “It is our opinion, this is a classic case of blackmail,” Davis stated, revealing Sharpe offered up to $10 million to settle before the lawsuit was filed. Interesting.
There is more.
A decade ago, Sharpe was also forced to step away from CBS’s NFL Today after a sexual assault accusation. He did return after the restraining order was dismissed. All of this will flow into the perception and the court of public opinion.
Facing renewed scrutiny and calls for accountability, Sharpe announced he’s “electing to step aside temporarily” from ESPN duties, vowing to return by the start of the NFL preseason. ESPN echoed the seriousness, saying, “This is a serious situation, and we agree with Shannon’s decision to step away.”
Is a temporary setback? Or is Unc’s career unraveling in real time?
Ray J pivoted sharply on his stance toward Sean “Diddy” Combs, telling viewers during a livestream with YouTuber Sneako that he believes the embattled Hip-Hop mogul could walk away from his federal case despite facing serious sex trafficking and racketeering charges.
“Puffy ’bout to get out too, on the dead homies” Ray J said during the stream. “All that s### they’re trying to charge that n#### for is nonsense, bro. He did something bad that we all seen and that s###’s unacceptable, but that’s not what the charges are for. The charges are weak, and it’s not funny and it’s not okay.”
The remarks mark a dramatic reversal from Ray J’s earlier comments on Shannon Sharpe’s “Club Shay Shay” podcast in January 2024, where he called for Diddy to be publicly punished.
“The homie need a public whipping… 100 lashes… 1,000 lashes. That would help. 1,000 lashes from everybody that you’ve slained and hurt. 1,000 lashes publicly,” Ray J said at the time. “1,000, that would help. 1,000 lashes made by you, somebody your size that’s gon’ give it to him. Not my size. My arm hurts. Your size, n#### ain’t gon make it past nine.”
Ray J’s shift in tone comes as Diddy remains behind bars in New York, where he’s been held without bail since September 2024. His federal trial is scheduled to begin May 5, 2025, after a judge denied his request for a delay.
Diddy, 54, is facing five felony charges, including racketeering conspiracy, two counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, and two counts of transporting individuals for prostitution. Prosecutors allege the crimes occurred over a 20-year span and involved coercing women—sometimes with drugs or threats—into sexual acts, some of which were filmed and involved male sex workers.
He has pleaded not guilty and denies all allegations.
Meanwhile, Shannon Sharpe—once imagined by Ray J as the man to deliver public justice—now faces his own legal troubles.
The former NFL star and media personality is being sued for $50 million in a civil case involving rape accusations, making him an unlikely candidate for any moral high ground in the Diddy saga.
The judge presiding over Diddy’s case has ruled that most unrelated sexual assault claims will be excluded from trial, and most alleged victims will be allowed to testify under pseudonyms.
Karlie Redd was arrested in Atlanta on April 22 on a felony burglary charge after allegedly breaking into her estranged husband’s home and stealing personal items during a heated divorce dispute.
The “Love & Hip-Hop: Atlanta” was taken into custody by DeKalb County authorities after being accused of unlawfully entering the residence of Teleau Belton, her husband of less than a year.
According to court records, Karlie Redd allegedly accessed the home through a back door and took a watch, a birth certificate and a card.
The alleged break-in occurred on January 13, 2025, but the arrest came months later as tensions between the couple escalated.
The two married in 2024 and filed for divorce within six months. The case has since grown more contentious, with a judge recently ordering Belton to pay Redd over $18,000 per month in temporary spousal support.
Redd was released on a $15,000 bond following her arrest.
Shannon Sharpe has temporarily stepped down from his ESPN duties as he confronts a $50 million civil lawsuit filed in Nevada accusing him of sexual assault and misconduct during a relationship he insists was consensual.
The Pro Football Hall of Famer and media personality issued a statement confirming his decision to pause his on-air role while addressing the allegations.
“My statement is found here and this is the truth. The relationship in question was 100% consensual. At this juncture I am electing to step aside temporarily from my ESPN duties,” Sharpe revealed. “I will be devoting this time to my family, and responding and dealing with these false and disruptive allegations set against me. I plan to return to ESPN at the start of the NFL preseason. I sincerely appreciate the overwhelming and ongoing support I have received from my family, fans, friends and colleagues.”
The lawsuit, filed in Clark County by a woman identified as “Jane Doe,” accuses Sharpe of rape, battery and emotional abuse during a nearly two-year relationship that began in 2023 when the woman was 19 or 20.
She claims the former NFL star assaulted her twice—once in October 2024 and again in January 2025—and alleges he recorded their sexual encounters without her consent, sometimes sharing the footage with others.
According to the complaint, Shannon Sharpe allegedly threatened her life, choked her, and gained unauthorized access to her apartment.
The woman also claims he verbally abused her while a firearm was visible and that she tried to distance herself after he accidentally live-streamed a sexual act with another woman.
Shannon Sharpe has denied all accusations. His legal team has described the lawsuit as a “shakedown” and a “blatant set-up” orchestrated by the plaintiff and her attorney, Tony Buzbee, who is known for representing clients in high-profile sexual misconduct cases.
His attorneys have released what they say are explicit text messages that show a consensual relationship involving role-play and fantasy scenarios initiated by the woman.
Sharpe has also demanded the release of the full, unedited sex tape referenced in the lawsuit, claiming it will clear his name.
Shannon Sharpe plans to file a defamation countersuit and previously offered at least $10 million to settle the matter, which the plaintiff reportedly declined.
