Doja Cat trolled her own dad, sending her estranged father an X-rated link instead of concert tickets for her South Africa show.

The rapper shared the whole awkward exchange on TikTok and people can’t stop talking about it.

Her father is South African actor Dumisani Dlamini. He told her he couldn’t make the Pretoria performance because they don’t message enough and she never calls him on WhatsApp.

“On a lighter note, I was messaging my father ’cause he’s here in Africa and he said that he couldn’t make it to my show because I don’t message him enough and I didn’t call him on WhatsApp,” Doja Cat said in the video.

She figured it would make buying tickets super easy for him since he was too busy to pay attention to his superstar daughter. But the link wasn’t what he expected. It was adult content.

Dlamini’s response was wild. He said he’d send it to his management team to handle.

@dojacat

LOOOOOOOOOL i sent him tim tales

“He said, ‘Oh yes, I will send this to my management; my management will handle all of this. At the moment, I’m just very busy … doing costume and rehearsal, so I cannot do this myself,'” Doja Cat recalled.

Once he clicked the link, he was very confused as to what exactly he was looking at.

“What I’m seeing, is gay p###. It’s like a p#### on my screen, and I don’t know if it’s a scam because I feel like they’re scamming here, I can’t get the ticket,” she said, bursting into laughter.

This isn’t new territory for Doja Cat. She’s called her dad a “deadbeat” in interviews before. Their relationship has always been rocky and distant.

The TikTok video just shows how strained things still are between them.

Kentucky man buys old house. Then he finds the strangest thing behind a little door on the second floor

Nothing can prepare you for this bizarre room in this Kentucky lawyer’s house. It’s so bizarre that viewers think it must be part of a reality TV show prank. So what’s going on with this room?

If you like the beach, you might not think this room is a terrible idea. But at the very least it will surprise you. TikToker @courtroom_shenanigans recently bought a house that has a small room on the second floor behind a tiny door.

In a video exposing the room, the TikToker says, “I have to share this thing with you about my house. It’s the craziest thing I’ve ever seen, and we’re about to remove it, so I want to share it with the world before we remove it forever.”

The room has orange walls, a small chalkboard, a tiki-style bamboo wall—and two to three inches of sand covering the entire floor. Could the room be a giant litter box for his cats, a beach paradise, or something else?

“Needless to say, we are getting rid of it as quickly as possible,” the TikToker says. The video has 10.6 million views and over 2,000 comments.

Viewers Weigh in on Mysterious Beach Room in Kentucky Home

Viewers are just as appalled about the sand room as the TikToker seems to have been when he first bought the house.

“The Cat- ‘COME LOOK AT MY MASTER BATHROOM!'” jokes one person.

“You could’ve given me 1 million guesses and there is no chance I would’ve gotten it right,” says another comment about the room’s grand reveal.

“Explain how your realtor approached this room,” asks another comment.

“Not me immediately getting mad because people are always changing older houses. Never mind. Go ahead and get rid of that,” says another comment.

“This room musta been on Trading Spaces,” guesses another viewer in a comment with 19,000 likes.

‘Trading Spaces’ Theory

In fact, several comments hypothesized the room might be a victim of a “Trading Spaces” episode. “Trading Spaces” was an early 2000s reality television show where a pair of neighbors were given $1,000 each. Then, with the help of interior designers, they redecorated a room in each other’s homes. However, those rooms often ended up worse than their original state.

Viewers think this is from an episode of Trading Spaces due to one of the show’s most infamous makeovers that involved a lot of sand. As recalled by People Magazine, one episode featured a cabana-inspired room where one of the interior designers brought in a wheelbarrow of sand to dump on the floor. 

“The homeowners wanted an adult retreat, so what’s more of an adult retreat than a cabana?” says the designer responsible, Hildi Santo Tomás.

However, the room in the TikTok was not on an episode of Trading Spaces.

The Truth About the Kentucky Sand Room

In another video, the TikToker explains what the room was actually used for.

“A lot of people have been guessing or trying to guess what this was here for,” he says. “We talked to the original owners when we bought the house. … This was clearly like a little playroom for their kids or, I think, grandkids. … It’s been here for a very long time. The sand room has been here for, like, 15 years.”

In a different video, the TikToker justifies why he and his family felt this house was a good idea to even buy. He says that finding a house in his area of Kentucky was hard enough. After a six-month search, they decided to go with this house that checked everything off the list but just happened to come with a sand room.

French Montana Secret Marriage Billionaire Heiress Rumors Sprout Up

French Montana is back in the rumors. (He is not in here much, by the way.)

We are now talking alleged matrimony, money, and a Middle Eastern mystery! The rumors are jumping like Jack Flash!

According to rumors making the rounds online, the Bronx rapper has allegedly tied the knot with his Dubai based fiancée – finally. There’s more. The chatter – which is not confirmed – suggests there was no prenuptial agreement involved. Now, that is hard to believe and yet, perhaps it isn’t. You already knows is a royal and. they are moving heavy.

Her father is reportedly worth more than $45 billion. Yes, billion with a B.

French may have secured not only the bag, but possibly his wife’s future inheritance. Rumor has it that an agreement exists and that, whatever that is,her father is allegedly aware of the arrangement. None of this has been confirmed! French Montana has not said a word and nobody even close. This is just chatter online.

If true, WILD.

Of course, with no shred of evidence online, some are are wondering if the story sounds a little too perfect to be real. Marriage without a prenup when billions are involved sounds unusual. They protect their generational wealth.

Still, French Montana has always moved differently.

He’s an immigrant kid from Morocco, sold mixed CDs and he is now a global rap figure. His strong ties to the Middle East are well documented, so a serious relationship in Dubai is not a stretch. No marriage certificate has surfaced.

If this turns out to be true, this might be one of the most fascinating love stories Hip-Hop has seen in a long time. Let her walk the red carpet

One thing is certain. People are watching closely…

Chance The Rapper Defeats Former Manager’s Multi-Million Lawsuit & Wins $35 Bucks

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Category: News
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

Chance the Rapper walked out of a Chicago courtroom Friday with a legal victory that felt more like a draw.

A jury rejected his former manager Pat Corcoran’s claim for $3.8 million in unpaid commissions, but the rapper only pocketed $35 from his own $1 million countersuit.

The two-and-a-half-week trial ended with a verdict that left both sides claiming some form of vindication, though the numbers tell a different story.

Corcoran, known as Pat the Manager, had been Chance’s right hand since 2012, building the rapper’s empire from the ground up.

He claimed a 15 percent management deal that included a three-year “sunset clause” allowing him to collect commissions even after they parted ways in 2020.

The problem? They never put it in writing.

Corcoran’s lawyer, Robert D. Sweeney, pointed to Chance’s 2016 album Coloring Book, which spent 125 weeks on the Billboard 200 and earned three Grammy Awards the following year, as proof of Pat’s value.

He argued that Chance’s 2025 album Star Line only lasted one week on the chart after they split, suggesting the rapper needed Pat’s guidance.

Chance’s legal team painted a completely different picture. His lawyer, Precious S. Jacobs-Perry, argued there was zero evidence of any sunset clause beyond Pat’s word.

She highlighted 24,000 unfulfilled merchandise orders dating back to 2019 and accused Corcoran of using his position to enrich himself through side ventures unrelated to Chance’s career.

The jury sided with Chance on the breach of fiduciary duty claim, but the $35 award suggested they didn’t believe his damages claim held much weight.

Woman leaves the Amish to do ‘0 f’ full-time. Then she tries to do her taxes

By: Rachel Thomas Updated Category: Newsbreak
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

A woman left the Amish to star in the adult entertainment industry. Then she realized taxes exist, and they’re actually pretty complicated for small business owners on “0 f.”

TikTok content creator Brittany (@brittanymomma1) didn’t realize when she left the Amish that she’d have to pay taxes on every type of income, including the income she received “0 f.” Now, she owes “so much” money to the IRS and has no idea how to reconcile the situation. She explained her situation in a video with over 607,000 views, adding that accountants won’t help her because of her career. For that reason, she feels stuck and unable to fix her predicament. 

What Is ‘0 F’ and ‘the Industry’?

When Brittany referred to “0 f” and the “industry,” many commenters seemed confused. They didn’t know what she meant or what she really did for work based on her video. 

But, a few viewers realized she was discussing OnlyFans and the adult entertainment industry. OnlyFans creators are technically small business owners from a tax perspective, and therefore they have to pay their taxes like other small business owners. 

How Does a Person Typically Do Taxes for ‘0 F’?

Creators of OnlyFans are considered small business owners and therefore have to pay taxes in a similar manner to them. For that reason, they’re responsible for paying self-employment tax, filing their own returns, and making quarterly payments.

Brittany didn’t know this due to her Amish background, adding, “When I left the Amish and joined the industry, I did not know you had to pay taxes on ‘0 f’ because everybody was telling me it’s not a real job.” But everyone has to pay taxes, regardless of how they get their income. 

OnlyFans should send each proprietor who makes over $600 a 1099-NEC, which is available by Jan. 31st. Typically, these tax forms are available for download inside of “statements” under the tax documents tab. 

While the taxes for OnlyFans content creation can be extremely heavy, there are plus sides. For one, any equipment that’s used to create content can technically be written off. That means cameras, expensive equipment, and other high-value items should be deducted. 

Creators can also deduct a home office from their taxes if they film at home, which means that they can technically deduct a percentage of their rent, mortgage, internet, and other bills, as long as that deduction accurately matches how much they use for a home office or space. 

In total, OnlyFans content creators might end up using the 1099-NEC alongside a Schedule C, Schedule SE, and a Form 1040. There’s also the 1099-K for those who make income using Venmo or other digital platforms. That can make tax season extremely complicated, especially for anyone who hasn’t been keeping track of their taxes. Couple that with penalties for late fees and issues with the IRS, and the entire situation makes for a difficult-to-reconcile combination if it’s not done properly. 

Do Accountants Really Reject ‘0 F’ Creators Based on Their Occupation?

In her video, Brittany mentioned that accountants were outright rejecting her because of her occupation.

“Nobody will do my taxes, um, at the tax offices this year because they’re saying, ‘Oh, well, you’re in the industry. I don’t wanna do your taxes,’” Brittany shared. 

Based on her experience, it does seem as though some accountants actually reject clients based on their occupations. But it’s important to note that not every accountant would be unwilling to help out someone who does “0 f.” 

Commenters urged her to continue pushing for an accountant and to consider that “if you make more than 600 you pay…always. Even if you win 600 in the future.

Black Thought & Mach-Hommy “Black-Hommy” Collaboration Coming

By: Houston Williams Updated Category: News
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

Black Thought and Mach Hommy are set to unite for a collaborative album aimed at pushing Hip-Hop lyricism forward. Two of rap’s most technically respected wordsmiths are officially preparing a joint project.

Mach-Hommy revealed the partnership directly to supporters through his newsletter, offering a rare glimpse into his upcoming release plans.

“I have a few projects in the chamber: one with August Fanon, one with Ras G … and last, but not least, Black-Hommy,” he said.

A release date or tracklist have not been disclosed. But, the announcement alone has already generated interest among those that appreciate dense lyricism.

The groundwork for this collaboration was planted years earlier. During a 2024 conversation with Pigeons & Planes, both artists hinted their creative chemistry.

“Sometimes I send cats’ verses back [to them] because it’s like, I don’t believe it enough,” Black Thought said. “So when you find somebody that’s on that same type time, it’s going to best serve the culture for y’all to collab. So I think we’re probably gonna continue to build.”

Mach confirmed the feeling was mutual.

“Oh yeah, we’re building, I got a folder for you,” he said.

Their studio connection is not theoretical. Fans already heard their sharp back and forth on “Copy Cold” from Mach-Hommy’s 2024 album #RICHAXXHAITIAN. They also previously appeared together on Your Old Droog’s 2020 track “Pravda,” which also featured El-P and Tha God Fahim.

Mach once described how unlikely the Black Thought collaboration initially felt while discussing the origin of “Copy Cold.”

“I made this song like a decade ago … and the inner voice is like ‘Black Thought.’ And then the rational mind is like, ‘f#ck outta here,’” Mach said. “So I put it away, because that’s never gonna happen. Then 10 years later I’ve got Black Thought in my phone, talking about some, ‘Where’s the record? When are we gonna cook?’”

Black Thought has also publicly championed Mach’s abilities. During a 2023 appearance on Questlove Supreme, he singled Mach-Hommy out as an artist deserving broader recognition.

“That’s my ace,” he said. “I think he’s one of those ones. Someone who understands a sensibility of, you know, a person who’s been around since the ’90s, but who also still feels cutting edge. I think his association with the whole Griselda family and that movement, but the way that he’s distinctly different, is huge too.”

The timing suggests both artists are entering another active chapter. Mach-Hommy has not released a solo album since #RICHAXXHAITIAN, while Black Thought’s last major release was his 2023 collaboration Glorious Game with El Michels Affair. He has also hinted at a follow up to Cheat Codes, his acclaimed project with Danger Mouse.


Woman’s 40-something co-worker starts bringing her honey buns mid-shift. Then she takes care of his dog—and things take a turn

By: Mars Ramos Updated Category: Newsbreak
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

After doing a favor for her co-worker, this Florida woman is in the middle of an awkward situation. In a nine-minute-long video that has since been deleted, Lizz (@5.0lizz) explains what’s going on.

Lizz says that after becoming work friends with a man at work who she calls “Joe” for the sake of the story, things got weird. At first, Lizz thought they clicked and worked well together in a platonic way. Then, Lizz says she began to feel like Joe was flirting with her. Still, when Joe mentioned he wasn’t going to have a place to live for a month and needed someone to take care of his dog, Lizz was happy to help. Lizz says she took the dog in for a month while Joe figured out his new living arrangement.

‘Work Boyfriend’

Lizz explains how after she took his dog in, his flirting started to escalate.

“A week goes by … he’ll come in and he’ll start saying things like, ‘Everyone thinks we’re dating,'” explains Lizz. Lizz also explains that he started making jokes about being her “work boyfriend,” suggesting they make the guy she was dating jealous, and saying that he wanted to make her dinner. Lizz says that she never flirted with him and made it clear she wasn’t interested in dating someone his age.

“I ended up starting to say, ‘Well, I don’t really date. I don’t really wanna date anyone. I’m enjoying being single.’ I also told him that I don’t date anyone over 25. I made that clear. Trust me. … I guess he just ignores that and doesn’t respect my standards. He eventually went on to say things like, “If you ever want to date me, let me know,'” Lizz explains.

Love Letter

Lizz says that Joe eventually picks up the dog. He then sends Lizz a picture of the dog settled in. The note is written from the perspective of the dog and says, “P.S. my daddy has a crush on you. I think he loves you.” Lizz says that’s where the story ends for now but that she will see him at work soon. She has offered no further updates since posting the video.

The video received 91,600 views and almost 200 comments before being deleted.

Viewers weighed in with their thoughts on it all.

“Lots [of] early 20s [women] want guys in the 40s. You have the youth. He has the $$$,” says one comment.

“If you don’t say no to a guy they still think they have a chance, you have to be direct!” says someone else.

“You need to bluntly draw the boundary right now. slam the brakes. he is escalating,” says another person.

How to Properly Reject Someone

The comments encouraging Lizz to clearly reject Joe might be on to something. While Lizz has hinted at the fact that she is not interested in dating him and ignored most of his flirty comments, it doesn’t seem like she’s been explicit with him about not wanting to pursue him romantically.

So, what are some ways Lizz can maybe communicate more clearly with Joe about not wanting to pursue him? The mental health platform Very Well Mind offers some points to consider.

  • Be kind and direct when saying no to someone, avoiding false hope or clichés.
  • Use “I” statements to focus on your feelings without blaming the other person.
  • Enforce your own boundaries

“Although you may be humoring the other person to avoid hurting their feelings, they won’t appreciate being led on. Being clear and communicative from the start avoids confusion, preventing misunderstandings and even more hurt feelings down the line,” experts say.

AllHipHop has reached out to Lizz for comment via TikTok and Instagram direct message. We will update this story if she responds.

Teyana Taylor and the Essence Festival New Orleans will converge this summer as the multitalented entertainer takes on a new leadership post designed to reshape one of Black culture’s most important gatherings.

Teyana Taylor: News, Rumors & More

Organizers announced Taylor and her creative collective The Aunties will serve as Chief Curator for the 2026 Essence Festival of Culture set for July 3 through July 5 in New Orleans. The newly formed position places the singer actor and creative director at the center of the festival’s programming strategy as the event continues to expand its cultural footprint.

Taylor enters the role with a resume that spans music film directing and creative development. An Oscar and Grammy nominated artist and Golden Globe winner she also received recognition from Essence through its Black Women in Hollywood honors. Festival leaders said her experience both onstage and behind the scenes made her a natural fit to help guide the experience.

Her company The Aunties which she founded in 2017 has built a reputation for developing ambitious visual projects and supporting artists seeking stronger creative control. That same philosophy is expected to influence how she approaches the massive cultural event which annually draws hundreds of thousands of attendees.

That’s what I’m bringing to this programming.”

Taylor and her team will work alongside Essence staff across talent booking community engagement and programming development. Their influence is expected to reach everything from major concert moments to smaller conversations and cultural activations designed to connect attendees beyond the stage.

She carries the lived experience of our community, the creative vision to shape culture, and the genuine love for Black women that has always been at the heart of everything we do,” said Kirk McDonald CEO of Sundial Media and Technology Group.

“This is what it means to steward the festival with purpose. Having Teyana as our Chief Curator for 2026 is a statement about who we are and what we believe programming can be when it is truly created by and for the people it is meant to serve. We are honored to welcome her home.”

Afroman Verdict Triggers Wave Of Calls Dircted At Pennsylvania Cops

By: Mike Winslow Updated Category: News
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

Earlier this week, Afroman turned a jury victory into a free-speech masterclass after Ohio cops lost their defamation lawsuit against him.

The seven Adams County sheriff’s deputies sued the rapper over his viral “Lemon Pound Cake” music videos that mocked their 2022 raid on his home, but the jury sided with him on all 13 counts this week.

Translation: America’s still got freedom of speech, and Afroman proved it in court. Here’s where it gets funny.

Pennsylvania’s Adams County Sheriff Joshua Fitting had to post on social media Thursday, saying, “We did not arrest Rapper AfroMan” because his office was getting flooded with calls from confused fans.

The wrong state’s cops were catching heat for something Ohio deputies did.

Fitting joked that all the calls and “colorful language with accents from around the county” had been lovely, but he needed people to double-check which state they were calling.

Back in August 2022, Ohio deputies kicked down Afroman’s door looking for drug trafficking and kidnapping evidence. They found nothing, filed no charges, but his family was home.

His wife filmed the raid as Afroman’s kids, then 10 and 12, watched armed officers tear through their house. The deputies also allegedly took $400 in cash and damaged his property.

So Afroman did what he does best: he made music about it.

The Lemon Pound Cake album dropped in 2023 with tracks like “The Police Raid” and “Why You Disconnecting My Video Camera.”

The music videos used actual home surveillance footage. One deputy got immortalized for getting distracted by a cake on the kitchen counter.

The deputies claimed Afroman’s content invaded their privacy and caused mental distress. They wanted $3.9 million in damages and the videos removed.

But Afroman’s lawyer argued it was comedy and social commentary, protected speech. The jury agreed. After less than a day of deliberations, they ruled completely in Afroman’s favor.

“I didn’t win, America won,” Afroman told reporters outside court, rocking his signature American flag suit and white fur coat. “America still has freedom of speech. It’s still for the people, by the people.”

The rapper maintained that the deputies brought this on themselves by raiding his house and putting themselves on his cameras.

The trial lasted three days and became a viral sensation. One deputy testified he’d received hundreds of pound cakes at work from people making jokes.

Another said he had to quit his job because of Afroman’s allegations. But the jury wasn’t buying the damages claim.

Afroman, best known for his 2000 hit “Because I Got High,” has released 18 studio albums and maintains a massive social media following. He’s still using his platform to make songs clowning the cops, too!

J. Cole Opens Up About His Kendrick Lamar Apology At Dreamville

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Category: News
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

J. Cole sat down at his childhood home in Fayetteville, North Carolina, to discuss his complicated feelings about the Drake and Kendrick Lamar battle that consumed Hip-Hop two years ago.

The Dreamville founder opened up about why he stepped back from the beef and what he’s learned since then.

“I admire these dudes, I got genuine love for these dudes,” Cole explained during his recent Apple Music interview. “I hate to see the world s### on either one of them in defense of the other. Even saying it out loud is a little silly.”

The sentiment reveals a man caught between loyalty and the pressure to pick sides in Hip-Hop’s biggest moment.

J. Cole’s participation in the battle began with “7 Minute Drill,” a diss track targeting Kendrick Lamar, released in April 2024.

The move came after Kendrick’s “Like That” verse took shots at both Drake and Cole, forcing the North Carolina rapper into an uncomfortable position.

But Cole’s involvement lasted only two days before he made a dramatic decision.

At Dreamville Festival in April 2024, Cole took the stage and publicly apologized to Kendrick Lamar.

“It hit me an hour before my set,” he recalled. “Before that, I was stressing the f### out. The moment the idea came to me, I lifted.”

J. Cole explained that he felt he’d misrepresented himself by contributing to division and negative narratives about an artist he genuinely cares about.

“I felt like I misrepresented myself. I’m giving life to division and to negative storylines and negative perceptions on somebody that I f### with and got love for,” Cole said.

His wife saw how much the situation weighed on him, and the realization hit him hard. Cole eventually removed “7 Minute Drill” from all streaming services.

The apology marked a turning point for Cole, who’s now focused on his new album The Fall-Off.

He’s made peace with his decision to step back, even though it meant sitting out one of Hip-Hop’s most significant battles.

Le’Veon Bell Dragged For Dissing Latto After Pregnancy

By: Mike Winslow Updated Category: News
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

Le’Veon Bell went off on Twitter about Latto’s pregnancy announcement becoming part of her album rollout for Big Mama, and the backlash was swift.

The former NFL running back didn’t mince words when he saw the Atlanta rapper turning her personal news into a marketing strategy for her May 29 project.

“Latto just announced she’s pregnant by a married man with three kids and made it part of her ALBUM ROLL OUT,” Bell posted. “And that’s who today’s women look up to? We’re doomed.” His take spread fast across social media, with people either backing his perspective or calling him out for judging.

The whole thing centers on Latto’s pregnancy with 21 Savage, who’s allegedly married to Keyanna Joseph.

21 Savage’s alleged marriage to Joseph came after his 2017 visa situation, which led to his green card status after he was almost deported by ICE for being a British citizen.

They’ve got two sons together, Kamari and Ashaad, and 21 has a daughter named Rhian from before. Joseph actually liked the pregnancy post on Instagram, which suggests the family is handling it well.

Latto confirmed 21 Savage as the father through her “Business & Personal” music video. A hand with his exact tattoos touches her baby bump in the visual, settling years of speculation about their relationship.

Bell also threw in a sarcastic comment about Latto’s anti-Trump bars from Young Nudy’s “WHAT’S HAPPENIN’.”

The former athlete, who’s been loud in his support for Trump, sarcastically said they had common ground based on her lyrics. It read more like a shot than a genuine agreement, given his public political history.

Big Mama arrives May 29, 2026, and fans are already wondering if Latto will address Bell’s criticism or the relationship drama in her bars.

His comments immediately sparked fury from people, wondering why it even mattered to him.

Takeoff Murder Suspect Brings Top Texas Attorneys To Try & Beat The Case

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Category: News

Patrick Xavier Clark is making a serious power move with his legal defense as his murder trial approaches.

The man accused of killing Migos rapper Takeoff outside a Houston bowling alley in 2022 just swapped out his entire legal team, bringing in some of the heaviest hitters in Texas criminal defense.

Prosecutors claim Clark fired into a group of people near the downtown Houston bowling alley on November 1, 2022, and the gunfire struck Takeoff. The Migos rapper was 28 years old.

Court filings show he’s replacing his previous attorney with Kent Schaffer, a Houston defense lawyer known for handling high-stakes cases, and he’s also added Dan Cogdell and Anthony Osso to the roster.

This isn’t just a casual shuffle either.

The timing here matters because, according to Click2Houston, prosecutors have been building a case that includes some pretty damaging allegations.

They claim Clark searched for information on how to obtain fake plane tickets to expedite his passport, suggesting he was trying to flee the country.

He also allegedly made multiple online searches asking whether he was a suspect in the case. These kinds of details can look really bad in front of a jury, so bringing in experienced defense attorneys makes strategic sense.

Carl Moore, Clark’s previous attorney, filed a motion to withdraw from the case, which is standard procedure when a defendant brings in new counsel.

The court filings specifically state that this change of attorney isn’t intended to delay the trial, which is currently scheduled for November 2026.

That’s still months away, giving the new legal team time to prepare their strategy and review all the evidence prosecutors have compiled.

With the trial just months away and a new legal team now in place, the case is heading toward a critical phase where every detail will matter.

LaRussell Flees Social Media Over Heaven Sent Backlash But Not Before Explaining Himself Again

By: Nolan Strong Updated Category: News

LaRussell just pulled the plug on his social media presence after his latest track ignited a firestorm of criticism across the internet.

The Vallejo rapper performed “Heaven Sent” at a recent show, and the backlash that followed was immediate and intense.

On the song, he called Donald Trump, Adolf Hitler, and Jeffrey Epstein “heaven-sent” alongside figures like Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., and Kanye West.

His engineer had warned him not to release it. He released it anyway.

The message behind the track was theological, not political. LaRussell explained that God created everyone, regardless of their actions or beliefs.

The song was meant to highlight the range of human capability, from the most righteous to the most evil. But that nuance got lost in the noise.

As of Friday (March 20), his Twitter and Instagram accounts are now unavailable. A fan account posted an IG Story clarifying that he’s taking a break and will return soon.

Before his social media break, LaRussell didn’t stay silent for long. He dropped what he called his “final statement” on the controversy, and it was unfiltered.

He also discussed it during an interview with Bootleg Kev.

“They think it was me showing support, but they didn’t think it was me showing support to Martin, Malcolm, and Kanye, who I also mentioned. They just think it was me showing support to him,” he told Bootleg Kev.

“No one sits down like I’mma write about Epstein. It’s just like what comes to you. And in that realization was like God made a n#### like Martin Luther King, who did so much and changed the world, and he also created a n#### like Epstein, who was like the lowest of the low, you know, and they come from the same source. And it was just a realization of like damn…free will…you could go either way in this world.”

He called out what he saw as selective outrage and fake righteousness from critics. He pointed out that people have been complicit in supporting murderers, drug dealers, and pimps through their music consumption for years.

“If you gone be outraged be outraged about it all,” he tweeted. “Turn the murder music off and every other detrimental form of art you consume.”

The 31-year-old has built his career on independence and artistic freedom. His album Something’s In The Water, produced by Lil Jon, dropped earlier this month.

The controversy comes just weeks after LaRussell inked a deal with Jay-Z’s Roc Nation.

The question now is whether he’ll return to social media or let the controversy fade before making his next move.

Cardi B just locked in another major business move, proving her empire keeps expanding in every direction.

The Grammy-winning rapper announced a multi-year partnership with Zevia, the zero-sugar soda brand, making her both a shareholder and official brand ambassador.

This isn’t just a sponsorship deal; it’s a full-scale collaboration that positions Cardi B at the creative helm of the brand’s cultural strategy.

“I love soda but I can’t be out here drinking a whole can of sugar. Zevia, it’s zero sugar, no fake ingredients, and it hits. This year, we are taking it to the next level together,” Cardi B revealed.

Zevia is now the official sponsor of Cardi B’s “Little Miss Drama Tour,” which kicked off February 11 in Palm Desert and runs through April 18 in Atlanta.

The tour’s already hit major cities like Seattle, Phoenix, Denver, and Minneapolis, with Chicago, Newark, and Toronto still on the schedule.

The partnership goes way deeper than tour sponsorship. Zevia’s launching a major campaign this summer with commercials, in-store displays, a sampling tour, and exclusive product collaborations.

Cardi B’s literally helping design new flavors and bringing her signature style to the better-for-you beverage space. This move fits perfectly into what she’s already building.

Cardi B’s been stacking business wins like crazy. She launched Grow Good Beauty, her first-ever haircare brand, just weeks ago after three years of development.

Whipshots, her vodka-infused whipped cream, has sold over 4 million cans since 2022 and continues to grow in popularity. She’s also collaborated with Reebok and NYX Cosmetics.

What makes this Zevia deal different is the shareholder status. Cardi B isn’t just slapping her name on a product; she’s got an actual ownership stake and decision-making power.

The collaboration emphasizes radical transparency and authenticity, values that align with how Cardi B has built her entire brand. She’s not doing deals that don’t match her energy.

Cardi B’s proving that building generational wealth means diversifying beyond music.

She’s got her hands in beverages, beauty and fashion.

According to Atlanta News First, Lo Jr. and his family are putting together to make sure everybody remembers what his pops meant to the city.

“Down For A Lo Week really just came from my pops. His day was coming up, and I wanted to have a way to celebrate him and honor him. So I called two members from my team. I was like, ‘hey, we should do something for my dad.’ And one person said my dad [was] the type of person, he would party for the whole week or the whole month for his day. And we came up with Down For A Low Week.”

A candlelight vigil at Club Crucial on Hollowell is where it started, as a tribute to a man who built a movement that still echoes through the streets today.

Shawty Lo passed away in 2016 in a car crash, but his influence on snap music and Atlanta Hip-Hop remains untouchable.

He was a founding member of D4L, the group that gave the world “Laffy Taffy,” a track that topped the Billboard Hot 100 in 2005 and became a cultural moment.

Beyond the hits, he was known for bringing neighborhoods together and showing younger artists how to stay connected to their roots while building something bigger.

Down 4 Lo Week is proof that his legacy isn’t fading, it’s growing. The family’s making sure that every year, Atlanta stops to remember what Shawty Lo built.

Is Remy Ma Dating Red Cafe After Eazy The Block Captain Split?

By: illseed Updated Category: Rumors

Remy Ma is back in the rumor mill and this time the whispers connect her to Red Cafe, a familiar Brooklyn name with street credentials and industry ties that go back years. According to chatter circulating through Hip-Hop media circles, the Terror Squad MC may have quietly moved on following her very public split from battle rapper Eazy The Block Captain. And if the blogs and YouTube commentators are even halfway right, this situation has more layers than a Queensbridge housing project staircase.

The latest spark comes from Showoff, a rapper with ties to Eazy, who seemed to casually drop what many believe was not meant to be public information during a recent appearance. He topped everything he said off with “allegedly…”

He said: “Yo, you you also dropped a jewel a little earlier today, man. And you know, you you said Red’s with the hottest in the hood. Allegedly. allegedly, you know what I mean? Salute, Red, man. And I ain’t gonna front, man. Allegedly. Yo, Remy. Allegedly, that’s a good look.”

That “allegedly” did a lot of heavy lifting, but fans immediately connected the dots.

Red Cafe is not just some random name either. The Brooklyn rapper has long been respected in New York circles and has business interests including nightlife ventures. Observers quickly pointed out that Remy previously held an event at a venue reportedly connected to Red Cafe, which only added more fuel to the speculation.

Meanwhile, the backdrop to all this is the still messy fallout involving Papoose, Remy’s estranged husband, and Eazy The Block Captain. Internet talk continues to rehash the alleged physical confrontation between Pap and Eazy, something that remains part of the ongoing narrative around their fractured relationships.

Adding even more intrigue, some online voices have suggested Red Cafe may still be married, though none of the principal figures involved have confirmed any romantic relationship. As always in these situations, perception often moves faster than facts.

REAL ALSO: Red Cafe’s “Top 5 Dead or Alive”

One thing is clear. Remy Ma remains a central figure in Hip-Hop conversation whether she drops music or not. And if history tells us anything, it is that personal drama and rap culture have always been uncomfortable neighbors.

For now, everything remains in the rumor category. But as we all know in Hip-Hop, today’s whispers sometimes become tomorrow’s confirmations.

Marlon Wayans and Keke Palmer have made headlines after Lionsgate acquired their upcoming film “Ride or Die.”

This latest comedy-action flick features Wayans in the role of Martin Banks, a robbery detective, while Palmer takes on the character of Tami Moore, a narcotics detective.

Together, they must team up to prevent a staggering $2 billion worth of opioids from hitting the streets of Chicago, which definitely sets the stage for some high-stakes drama.

Wayans didn’t just act in this project; he also crafted the screenplay.

The actor described “Ride or Die” as a blend of romance and action reminiscent of “When Harry Met Sally” but with plenty of gunplay involved, according to Deadline.

It’s a unique premise that fans are likely going to appreciate, especially considering the chemistry both stars bring to the table.

Kanye West Malibu Mansion Curse Strikes Again With Foreclosure & Bankruptcy

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Category: News

Kanye West’s Malibu mansion has become the real estate equivalent of a horror movie, and the latest chapter just got darker.

The $57 million beachfront property he purchased in 2021 is now headed to foreclosure after its current owner, developer Steven “Bo” Belmont, defaulted on an $18.5 million loan and filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

This isn’t just another celebrity real estate fail, it seems to be a curse that keeps on giving.

Kanye West bought the Tadao Ando-designed architectural masterpiece with grand visions of transforming it into a minimalist sanctuary.

Instead, he ordered handyman Tony Saxon to strip the home of everything: wiring, plumbing, fire pits, jacuzzis. The rapper’s plans shifted constantly during construction, moving from “bomb shelter” to “monastery” to “recording studio” to “playground.”

None of it happened. Kanye West sold the gutted property in 2024 for $21 million, taking a $36 million loss.

The mansion’s troubles didn’t end with West’s exit. A jury awarded Saxon $140,000 in March 2026 after the handyman sued for unpaid wages and hazardous working conditions.

West had originally been sued for $1.7 million, but the court sided partially with the contractor, finding the rapper liable for damages.

Belmont’s ownership proved even more chaotic. The developer purchased the stripped-down mansion with promises to restore it, then pivoted to a crypto-backed timeshare model that attracted hundreds of small-time investors.

The scheme collapsed faster than West’s original vision. Belmont attempted to flip the property multiple times, listing it for $50 million, then $34.9 million, then $30 million. Nothing stuck.

The foreclosure auction was scheduled for March 19, 2026, in Pomona, California, with the property’s loan balance sitting at $21.1 million.

Belmont’s bankruptcy filing temporarily halted the auction, pushing the sale date to April.

This mansion has consumed everyone who’s touched it. West lost $36 million. Saxon fought for justice and lost in court.

Belmont’s investors lost millions. The property itself remains a concrete shell on Malibu’s most expensive real estate, a monument to ambition gone wrong.

Rick Ross delivers “Minks In Miami” with French Montana and Max B as the Miami heavyweight rolls out a new single tied to his upcoming album and a packed season of releases.

The Grammy-nominated Hip-Hop artist announced the track will hit all major streaming platforms on Friday through Maybach Music Group and gamma.

The release marks the second single from his forthcoming album “Set In Stone,” following “For The Money,” produced by Pharrell Williams.

The record brings together French Montana and Max B, blending Miami luxury with New York street influence over heavy 808s and polished production. Ross trades verses with Montana while Max B anchors the track with a melodic hook.

“When you operate at this level, it’s about making statements, not just making songs,” says Rozay. “I wanted to capture that feeling of stepping off a private jet into the South Florida heat, draped in the finest things money can buy. Having my family French and Biggavell on this record? It’s iconic. We brought the Wave down to Biscayne.”

The single arrives alongside a wider slate of moves for Ross. He is preparing for the Port of Miami 20th Anniversary Orchestra Tour, which begins May 29 at the James L. Knight Center in Miami and features orchestral renditions of his catalog, backed by the Sainted Trap Choir and the Renaissance Orchestra.

Ross is also set to release his third book, “Renaissance of a Boss: Notes from a Creative Awakening,” on May 12, adding to his résumé as a two-time New York Times best-selling author.

The “Minks In Miami” video, directed by Kid Art and filmed in Miami, premiered on BET Jams on March 20.

Gunplay Responds To Rick Ross, Clears Up Accusations

Gunplay is pulling back the curtain on his MMG past, and now another name is entering the chat. Along with Rick Ross, the rapper is also pointing a finger at former management figures including Matt Middleton as he revisits old business deals that he believes did not work in his favor.

Ross made it clear he is not coming from a place of hatred. “Not laughing at my little bro situation cuz I got nothing but love for him,” he said.

Still, the Ross did not hold back when explaining what he believes really happened during a difficult stretch of his homie’s career. “The distributor had done dropped you. They ain’t want nothing to do with you,” he said, suggesting the business had already shifted even if he was not fully informed. “They ain’t give you the bad news. We told you just keep working, just keep grinding, don’t stop, don’t quit.”

Gunplay pushed back on some of this. He specifically named Megan Price while also clarifying her role. “She did my management from I think like like 20 like 12 to 16 or something like that.”

But the most eyebrow raising claims involved contract changes he says he only discovered years later. According to Gunplay, both Megan Price and Matt Middleton played roles in decisions made while his legal situation was uncertain. We have not talked to either of them to answer to these comments, but he’s said both in multiple interviews.

“She ended up her and Matt Middleton thought I probably was going to be cooked with that arm robbery case and they amended my contract,” he said. “When I turned in my album, it was 150,000 advance. 75 up front, 75 after album completion.”

He claims that structure changed without his knowledge. “They amended the contract and rerouted the 75,000 to them for my for my first album… Cuz they thought I was going to be cooked.”

Gunplay said an auditor later helped him piece together what happened. “He was like, ‘Yo, who’s Matt Middleton?’ I’m like, ‘I don’t the name sound familiar.’ And he was like, ‘Who’s Megan Price?'”

According to Gunplay, the answer shocked him. “They rerouted the contract for your back end for 75,000 to them. And Matt Middleton got 10 I think 10 or 15%.”

Even with these revelations, Gunplay admitted he may have said too much publicly. “I’mma take accountability for for for being too transparent with family business.”

And while he says he remains loyal to Ross, the emotional weight seems to come from feeling forgotten during key moments. “I didn’t even get a welcome home gunplay… really disappointment if anything. Disappointment. Very disappointed.”

If anything, this sounds like a complicated story of contracts, loyalty and the fine print that can sometimes change friendships in Hip-Hop. Whether this becomes a bigger MMG conversation or quietly fades away may depend on whether anyone else decides to respond.
