NLE Choppa Claims He’s The Most Accomplished Rapper For His Age After Roddy Ricch Comments

NLE Choppa has thrown his hat in the ring for the discussion surrounding the “Top Rappers Under 25” conversation that arose recently after Roddy Ricch named himself, YBN Youngboy, and Kodak Black as the elite three.  

He took to Twitter with a reminder for his fans. “Best under 25.. it’s crazy to not mention me when you realize I’m only 19,” NLE Choppa began before listing off his accolades. “You don’t have to like my music but my numbers are undeniable. 16 Gold And Platinum Plaques, 6 Songs Over 100M, 6 Billion Streams Worldwide, Sold Out Tour In US, Also Currently Selling out EUROPE TOO 🐐” 

NLE Choppa continued, stating he’s without comparison and laid claim to the title of most accomplished rapper for his age.  

“You can’t compare me to no n####,” he said. “I’m literally the youngest doing it and it ain’t one person at my age done what I’ve done so far. Everybody else got atleast 3 years on me average. Then it’s me 3 years in the game and I’ve already did more than some n##### whole career.” 

While he didn’t mention what or who prompted his tweets, Roddy Ricch’s recent comments on Power 106 may have come his way. During the interview, the host asked who he considers the “Big Three” of his generation. “There’s a few,” he replied before asking for a specific age range. Once they settled on 20 to 25 Roddy Ricch decided on his three. “I’d say me, and Youngboy, and Kodak. That’s the age range right there.” Roddy added. 

Back in April, NLE Choppa claimed to be the successor to NBA Youngboy. “The hottest youngin since YB, the hottest out my city,” he raps on “Yak Flow.”

While fans debated the question under his tweets, NLE Choppa took to Instagram to show off his international earnings.  

I don’t do dollars anymore,” NLE Choppa declared before flaunting a stack of Euros. “New Name International CHOP,” he added in the caption. “Pay Me In Euros, Franks And Pounds!”

Cardi B has a new single coming, and after teasing the track earlier this week, she’s giving her fans some more info. 

The Bronx native announced that her” very masculine” forthcoming single “Hot Sh*t” features Kanye West and Lil Durk and has been sitting on the back burner for almost three years.  

Belcalis shared the cover art on social media and revealed that “Hot Sh*t” arrives on Friday (Jun. 27), featuring the two Chicago-bred rappers.

Cardi B also joined her fans to discuss the new music during a Bardi Gang Twitter Space. “I have this record already for almost three years,” she said. “I think this record is actually older than ‘WAP.’ It is everyone’s favorite.” She then added, “The record is very masculine too.” 

Cardi B Announces New Music

Furthermore, Cardi B plans on coming right back with new music after dropping the upcoming single. “I’m already working on the next record,” she announced. “I’m already planning the rollout for the next record. It’s not gonna be a couple months, this and that, after this record. I know I’ve been really lowkey with s###, but I’m ready to be outside outside outside.” 

While explaining that the song will arrive without an accompanying video, Cardi revealed her frustrations. “With the promo, I just don’t feel like doing too much this time around,” she said on Instagram Live. “Because I’m just exhausted with everybody.”  

Elsewhere on the Livestream, she also let slip that she’s moving in a different direction on this song. She continued, “I’m so tired of people not doing their f*cking job correctly,” Cardi B added. “I’m so tired of people just doing things their way. Just…I’m just over it, you know what I’m saying? I’m over it. I’m gonna put this record [out], if it do good, it do good. I think it’s gonna do good ’cause at the end of the day, the record is amazing. I love the record. It’s something that I feel like you haven’t heard from me before.” 

Ray J Capitalizes On Verzuz & BET Awards Viral Moments; Teases New R&B Group & Noodles Deal

Ray J has a canny ability to turn some of his most controversial moments into a business venture, and his chaotic Verzuz performance last week (Jun. 23) is no different. 

The R&B singer teamed up with Pleasure P to go head-to-head with Sammie and Bobby V ahead of the main showdown between Omario and Mario. However, the show got off to a hilariously bumpy start providing meme creators with days’ worth of material.  

One of the most talked-about moments was Ray J’s “One Wish” performance. The singer-turned-entrepreneur delivered a shaky vocal display before his teammate joined him. His opponents also got in on the act, leaving Ray J thoroughly unimpressed.

Nonetheless, they all hopped on Ray J’s live to discuss the fallout from the night’s events. It appears there may be a new R&B group on the horizon.  

“First order of business is the music,” Sammie declared, although this soon led to a debate about who makes the best music. There may not be much the new group agree on as they soon began arguing over who was the group’s spokesperson. However, if the new group comes to fruition, all the back-and-forth could be caught on camera. Sammie asked Ray J to reach out to his contacts at BET for a reality show capturing the behind-the-scenes of the making of the group.  

They also discussed that “One Wish” performance elsewhere during the conversation. While he can now admit he wasn’t his best vocally during the Verzuz, he didn’t realize “I needed help at the time.” Sammie said he wasn’t trying to steal his moment and blamed the shaky singing on “too many Casamigos.” 

Check out the Live below.

Ray J also appears to be capitalizing on another moment that had the Internet talking this weekend. His hunger pangs got the best of him during the BET Awards on Sunday night. He was pictured chowing down on a Cup of Noodles snack.

Omarion Has Something Up His Sleeve

Omarion.

What does Omarion have in store? The singer, the former lead of the group B2K, has been on the tip of the tongue of a lot of people recently. There have been varying degrees of good and bad. I was upset with him because he openly ate watermelon on stage for no apparent reason.

But, he is following up quickly with the Verzuz battle with Mario. He put up a cryptic message on Instagram stating that something is going to drop on July 7. He used the song by T.I. to punctuate his point. I am not sure what he has in store, but I do not have a problem with him capitalizing off of the attention.

Some people do have an issue with it. The watermelon, some of the responses to Mario and even the comments towards his former band mates have turned some people off. Not everyone though!

Now, some people aren’t even assuming that it is an actual project. I just assumed it was, but it may not be. The caption, which says something in and of itself “the dark will come to the light,“ suggest that he may be opening Pandora’s box against his enemies. I wonder…nah, he wouldn’t get into the Chris Stokes stuff.

Anyway, it seems like the Verzuz loss to Mario still stings a bit. He has made it clear that he is the HEADLINER of the next show they share.

But, it was a win for all, no matter what. Omarion recently highlighted that the Verzuz got over 5 million total viewers, which is a sum total that includes all platforms. He also included there were 725,000 peak viewers at one point in time across all platforms. And they were trending for quite some time over the course of the battle and after. So, even though it was a huge fiasco and the singing was quite horrible, they did what they had to do. And what they had to do was command the eyeballs and attention of a large number of people. Mission accomplished! Anyway it seems like Omarion‘s new movement is called “Unbothered.” I think that’s pretty cool. He has a book coming out as well as other aspects of the movement and so he seems to be resolute in moving forward in a positive way. I can’t even be mad at that!

It seems like this guy is really on the positive side of things and when it’s time to sweat a few flies, that’s what he does! So shout up to Omarion! And shout out to Mario! Shout out to everybody, because rappers are getting shot, arrested, and a bunch of other things that’s bad. So the worst is the worst and, Omarion is hardly the worst.

Roddy Ricch May Never Be Allowed To Perform In Long Island If Politician Gets His Way

Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman wants to prevent Roddy Ricch from performing in Long Island.

According to a letter obtained by the New York Post, Blakeman seeks to ban Roddy Ricch over a “f### NYPD” chant.

Blakeman asks the UBS Arena to not allow Roddy Ricch to perform at the venue. The West Coast rapper is scheduled to open for Post Malone at the arena on October 9.

“The last thing these officers need is some ‘celebrity’ inciting violence and hate against them,” Blakeman writes. “As violence against police is on the rise, and woke politicians fan the flames of the defund the police movement, we should be showing more support for our police, not less.”

He continues, “On behalf of the 1.4 million residents of Nassau County, I strongly condemn [Roddy Ricch’s] rhetoric in the strongest possible terms. The Nassau County Police Department works closely with the NYPD every day to keep communities safe across Nassau County.”

Roddy Ricch led a “f### NYPD” chant at Hot 97’s Summer Jam festival on June 12. He put the police on blast after authorities dropped gun charges against him.

The Atlantic Records artist missed his scheduled performance at the Governors Ball in Queens on June 11. Police arrested him and two other men on gun charges before he could enter Citi Field.

Black Ink Crew star Ceaser Emanuel faces more allegations of abuse in wake of VH1 firing him.

Emanuel’s ex-girlfriend Suzette Samuel accused him of abusing her in an Instagram Stories post on Monday (June 27). Samuel shared a photo of her bruised arm along with details about his alleged behavior.

“I tried not to do this to you but here we go,” she wrote. “You know I know EVERYTHING you’re an abuser!!! Member Christmas time when u found that dude in my dm?! This was the result. U played with the wrong one! You used the network to manipulate me and threatens to use the show to destroy my brand for months. I left you your birthday weekend stop playin!”

Samuel aired out Emanuel after he claimed an ex leaked the dog abuse video that got him fired by VH1. The Black Ink Crew boss didn’t mention Samuel by name but insisted the footage surfaced online following a breakup in an interview with the OnThaRadar Podcast.

“They always dangled it over my head,” Emanuel said. “You know how it felt having that dangled over your head? Like yo, you bugging. And it’s for years. And finally, after I say I’m single, the next day that drops.”

SpotemGottem found himself behind bars again on Sunday (June 26).

According to multiple reports, police arrested SpotemGottem after he led them on a chase while operating a jet ski. The 20-year-old rapper allegedly fled when an officer tried to stop him for recklessly driving around boats near Miami Marine Stadium.

SpotemGottem, whose real name is Nehemiah Harden, was charged with reckless operation of a boat as well as fleeing and eluding a law enforcement officer.

The bond for each charge was only $1, but SpotemGottem will stay in jail through Monday night (June 27). The Geffen Records artist was already out on bond for charges of aggravated assault with a firearm and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

“Because he has two felony bonds, he’s going to see the judge tomorrow,” a spokesperson told the Miami Herald. “So, he’ll be with us tonight.”

SpotemGottem is no stranger to running afoul of the law. But he also faced life-threatening danger as the victim of a 2021 drive-by shooting. He suffered multiple gunshot wounds in the incident but managed to recover from his injuries.

The Florida native is best known for his breakthrough single “Beat Box.” The track peaked at No. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Ludacris’ longtime manager Chaka Zulu survived a deadly shooting in Atlanta.

The veteran music executive and two other victims were shot in the Buckhead section of Atlanta on Sunday (June 26). Former Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed issued a statement about Chaka Zulu’s condition on Monday (June 27).

“We are fortunate to report that Chaka Zulu is in stable condition and recovering,” Reed told WSB-TV’s Michael Seiden. “The family thanks everyone for their well wishes and prayers, and asks for their privacy at this time.”

According to 11 Alive News, officers said the shooting stemmed from an argument in a parking lot behind a shopping center on Peachtree Road. One man died from injuries suffered in the gunfire. Chaka Zulu and another victim needed surgery but survived the shooting.

Police haven’t apprehended the gunman as of Monday afternoon. No information about the suspect has been released to the public.

The investigation into the shooting is ongoing. Authorities hope surveillance video will provide more details about the deadly incident.

Chaka Zulu co-founded Disturbing Tha Peace Records with Ludacris. He also worked with artists such as Jeezy, Swizz Beatz, Big K.R.I.T. and Childish Major.

Questlove and Juicy J offered prayers after learning about the shooting.

Did Lil TJay’s Shooters Shoot Each Other?

By: illseed Updated Category: Rumors
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

Oh noooooooooooooooooooo!

This sucks already.

Not only was Lil Tjay reportedly lined up, but new information reveals, his mans and them probably didn’t bust back.

So, undoubtably the plot is thickening with Lil Tjay. The Bronx rapper was shot seven times and the man arrested is probably the perpetrator of the crime. Right now, nobody is guilty legally, but there’re a lot of smoking guns around. Edgewater, New Jersey is a pretty quiet and the food place, certainly not known for crime. A lot of the locals were shaken up after this recent shooting.

Hassan Campbell is all over this situation, and seems to have ties to the family. He has disclosed a number of things that I personally did not know.

First of all, he informed me in a lot of people that little TJ‘s homeboys did not shoot back. He alleges that it was actually the shooters trying to kill Lil Tjay that shot each other. So there was no shoot out as initially reported. At least that’s what he says. So those guys shot each other and then were caught, rather unceremoniously. What he says is that they were caught with guns in various places, but none of them had discharged. So this is still in fraction jail worthy at the moment.

https://youtu.be/j2w9Hy-VZ2w

The second thing is that A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie and Lil Tjay apparently have beef between them. This is also something I did not know. He does not incriminate A Boogie or anything of that nature, but mentioning it does raise a couple of eyebrows. Also Fivio Foreign‘s name comes up, but he seems to absolve him of all “guilt” because he did in fact go visit Lil Tjay almost immediately.

There has also been a very powerful rumor that suggests that Lil Tjay might be paralyzed, but the latest is that that is untrue and that he is improving. That is an amazing slice of good news on a rainy day.

All of this is to say “stay out of trouble kids! “The stuff just isn’t worth it. In fact, I am hopeful and hoping that the entire culture of Hip-Hop decides to straighten up and tighten up and understand that the forces of evil are actually against us. But we’re too busy fighting each other to even fight back at the real enemies.

Take it away!

“Scumbag” Rudy Giuliani Was Patted On Back, Not “Assaulted,” Says ShopRite Worker’s Legal Team

By: Kershaw St. Jawnson Updated Category: News

Former New York City mayor and Donald Trump flunky Rudy Giuliani was assaulted in Staten Island over the weekend.

On Sunday, June 26th, while Giuliani was shopping at the ShopRite grocery store, the lawyer was smacked on his back as the assailant said, “What’s up, scumbag?”

The man who hit the disgraced lawyer was a worker at the supermarket and was taken into custody. A 39-year-old named Daniel Gill was charged with attacking “America’s Mayor.”

Gill was charged with third-degree assault, third-degree menacing, and second-degree harassment.

“I got hit as if a boulder hit me. It knocked me forward a step or two. It didn’t knock me down, but it hurt tremendously,” Rudy Giuliani said during a press conference.

Giuliani was at the ShopRite assisting his son Andrew, who is running in the state’s gubernatorial race 

“It’s a sad day when New Yorkers’ greatest crime fighter, ‘America’s Mayor,’ is attacked,” his son said. “I blame the left-wing for encouraging violence. This is crazy.”

Giuliani has not been making friends with the left, particularly those in entertainment.

As reported by AllHipHop.com, Rudy Giuliani criticized rapper Eminem when he kneeled at the Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show. He also felt compelled to talk bad about Snoop Dogg’s anti-police lyrics.

“Let’s get right to Eminem taking a knee,” Rudy Giuliani said.

“Why doesn’t he go to another country? I mean go take a knee someplace else. You know how many cops were defending him and protecting him at that game yesterday? I mean crime is way out of control in Los Angeles,” he continued, “He thinks that all happened because everybody loves Eminem? The simple reality is the NFL has made a mockery of law enforcement, particularly with its support for the cop-killing Black Lives Matter.”

The MAGAmaniac said he refused medical attention.

So, it is universally known that Diddy is now dating Caresha aka Yung Miami from The City Girls. This is all good. And we all approve of it, because why not? But, in his incredible speech for the lifetime achievement award at the BET Awards, he recognized his two exes Kim Porter, rest in peace, and Cassie, the one-time ride or die chick. Cassie has moved on and is now married to another man. Kim Porter passed away and is eternally in our hearts, as the mother of his children but also as a beautiful soul. And now, there is Caresha who is one of the City Girls. We like her too, but she’s relatively new to the scene. He did not recognize her in his speech, but she recognized him from the seats. She held up a sign saying “Go Papi,” for everyone to see. She was extremely exuberant and happy to be supporting her man in his finest moment.

However, there was a glaring disparity with the excitement between the two of them. Diddy stared into the camera and shouted out Cassie and paused. It was almost like he was saying something other than love. It was almost like “I still got you,” “I still love you” or “You’re still mine.” I don’t know, but it was very interesting. Nevertheless, Caresha probably wanted to put that sign down after he said that. If she didn’t, good for her. Stick it out! However, it just seemed like a disconnect.

All of that aside, the dedication to Diddy was amazing and he ran the gambit. The highlight of the display was a performance by Shyne Poe, also known as Shyne Barrow, who is also a politician now and believes he performed his hit from the Bad Boy era but he put a positive spin on it. And I thought that was a incredible Shine as one of our favorites, because his loyalty was so ironclad and he also managed to stay cool with the heaviness of Hip Hop. Diddy get props because he gave his former artist a platform on one of the largest stages of music and entertainment.

UPDATE: Sources Says Lil Tjay “Doing Better” Debunking Paralyzed Rumors

By: Kershaw St. Jawnson Updated Category: News

Rapper Lil Tjay’s shooting has left a ton of rumors drifting in the wind. 

Some say he was left paralyzed and brain dead after being shot seven times on Wednesday, June 22nd.

According to FOX3 reports, fans have taken to social media to talk about his injuries. In one tweet, one person predicted the artist was left “crippled.”

According to a fan tweet, a man named Dr. Raheem Smith said, “Lil Tjay will be paralyzed for the rest of his life. He got 5 of 7 shots in the chest area and 2 in the spine. He is not able to move his upper body. He also has only a 15% chance to survive the attack.”

The alleged medical professional nor the person reporting gave any statement from someone close to Tjay regarding his injuries, nor did they cite any hospital sources about the rapper’s trauma.

FOX3 attempted to debunk the rumor after speaking to a source close to Lil Tjay. The news outlet stated that their source said he was “out of surgery” and “appears to be doing better.”

This seems to dead the conversations about the severity of his injuries. Fans who heard the good news are happy now but also were upset about the miseducation.

“So once more for the new people waking. There is no paralysis affecting Lil Tjay. We have not received any information of his paralysis from close friends, doctors, or major news outlets (sic). You can’t believe everything you read on these bogus troll pages.”

“Nothing accurate verified that Lil tjay is crippled!!!,” said another outraged person. “If you all would read instead of making assumptions, you would already be aware of it. It’s for the clout and all fake pages. Stop believing everything you see!”

https://twitter.com/Victorriaa_Lynn/status/1541195101485031425?s=20&t=BurbXZ1SwtLI61glloRyhA

So far, Lil Tjay or his family has not made a statement about the rapper’s condition. 

Nick Cannon Says God Isn’t Done With Him In Seemingly Impossible Quest To Be Monogamous

Nick Cannon says he just cannot be monogamous in a new interview and said he had had a few mid-life crises! Read more!

Nick Cannon has admitted he has “failed miserably” at monogamy.

While speaking to Shelley Wade, the television host, who is reportedly expecting his eighth and ninth child with two different women, was asked whether he would consider marrying again.

“I’ve failed miserably so many times at monogamy and relationships,” Nick said. “But God ain’t done with me. We’re gonna figure it out.”

On what the “deciding factor” would be for marriage, he responded, “I’ve probably had a few mid-life crises, (but) I’m liking the man that I’m growing into. And I feel like (I’d marry) someone who will understand me and can stand by me… where they’re weak, you’re strong.

“And if I can ever find somebody who knows how to hold me down through all my madness, through all my chaos and toxicity, that’s probably somebody I could rock with for life.”

Nick married Mariah Carey in 2008, with the two welcoming twins Monroe and Moroccan in 2011. They finalized their divorce in 2016. Before Mariah, Nick dated Christina Milian and Kim Kardashian.

Since his divorce from Mariah, he has fathered five more children – two with Brittany Bell and twins with Abby De La Rosa. Zen, his son with Alyssa Scott, sadly died at five months following a battle with cancer in December.

He is currently expecting his eighth child with model Bre Tiesi and reportedly has another on the way with Abby.

Nick recently revealed that he’d had a consultation about getting a vasectomy to stop him from having more children.

Ain’t nothing wrong until there is something wrong. Ray-J has mastered the art of staying relevant! The “I Wish” singer decided to dominate the attention of a Verzuz that wasn’t even his. All the memes and outtakes were amazing. I still am not sure if he can sing, but I have to salute him for getting as much eye time as Omarion and Mario. Anyway, Joe Budden has Ray-J on speed dial and called him. He managed to get a hilarious moment and also apologized for his singing mishap. He essentially says all holding the baby and hoping around wasn’t in the plan.

On another note, Ray-J managed to get caught out there eating a cup of noodles at the BET Award. I am not sure why he didn’t fill up before the show, but he managed to get his grub on. Some people were critical of him for being “ghetto” and others simply chalked it up to the game of hunger.

Will Chris Brown earn another Number One? According to music industry prognosticators, it appears Breezy will not make it to the pinnacle of the Billboard 200 chart out the gate.

HitsDailyDouble projects Breezy will open with 60,000-70,000 first-week units. Chris Brown’s tenth studio LP is presently expected to miss the #1 spot on next week’s Billboard 200.

Lil Durk dropped the deluxe version of 7220 on the same day Breezy landed on DSPs. HDD has the extended version of 7220 bringing in another 65,000-75,000 units over this tracking period.

Growin’ Up by Luke Combs is part of the three-way chart race as well. The Country album also looks to amass around 65,000 to 75,000 first-week units.

Other debuts include R&B singer/songwriter Giveon’s Give or Take. The 15-track project will likely open with 33,000-38,000 first-week units. Machine Gun Kelly’s Mainstream Sellout, which got a deluxe/vinyl release, is on pace to collect 20,000-25,000 units this week.

If HDD is correct and Chris Brown’s Breezy only tops off with 70,000 first-week units, it would be a decline from 2019’s Indigo. That project premiered at #1 with 108,000 album-equivalent units. 2020’s Slime & B mixtape with rapper Young Thug peaked at #24.

Throughout his career, Chris Brown has scored three Number Ones on the Billboard 200. Indigo spent one week in the top spot. Furthermore, 2011’s F.A.M.E. and 2012’s Fortune remained at No 1. for one week, respectively. Brown also has ten Top 10 entries on the Billboard 200.

Breezy includes features by Lil Durk, Capella Grey, Fivio Foreign, Lil Wayne, Yung Bleu, Lil Baby, Wizkid, H.E.R., Bryson Tiller, Ella Mai, EST Gee, Jack Harlow, Blxst and Tory Lanez. Chris Brown tapped Ye Ali, Nate Rhoads, Yonni, Leon YoungBlood, and others to handle the album’s production.

Aubrey Drake Graham has established himself as one of the most commercially successful artists of the last decade. The OVO Sound boss continues to rack up accolades for his already illustrious career thanks to his latest effort, Honestly, Nevermind.

This week saw Drake’s name added to an exclusive list of legends. Drizzy is now just the fifth act in music history to have more than ten No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 chart.

Drake’s Honestly, Nevermind debuted at #1 on the latest Billboard 200. The 35-year-old rapper/singer joins The Beatles (19), Jay-Z (14), Bruce Springsteen (11), and Barbra Streisand (11) on the all-time rankings of musicians with the most No. 1 projects.

Honestly, Nevermind started atop the Billboard 200 with 204,000 equivalent album units. That opening total is significantly lower than Drizzy’s previous studio LP. 2021’s Certified Lover Boy also launched at #1 on the Billboard 200 but managed to collect 613,000 first-week units.

Drake Could Have The No. 1 Album & No. 1 Single At The Same Time

Additionally, Honestly, Nevermind brought in the fourth-largest streaming week of 2022 (250 million streams). Drake’s new collection only follows Bad Bunny’s Un Verano Sin Ti (357 million streams), Kendrick Lamar’s Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers (343 million streams), and Future’s I Never Liked You (284 million streams).

Un Verano Sin Ti currently sits at #2 on the Billboard 200. Post Malone’s Twelve Carat Toothache slipped three spots to #7. Khaza by Kevin Gates debuted at #8. After hitting #1 earlier this year, Future’s I Never Liked You slides one position to #6. Kendrick Lamar’s former #1, Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers, dropped from #7 to #9.

Honestly, Nevermind only has one feature performance. Industry forecasters predict Drake’s “Jimmy Cooks” with 21 Savage could start off at #1 on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart. If “Jimmy Cooks” does become a Number One single, Drake would also earn his 11th chart-topping Hot 100 song.
