YG Confronts Being Sexually Assaulted At Early Age On “2004” Single

YG has released an extended snippet of his new song, which includes several explosive allegations as well as an earnest nod to his deceased collaborator Nipsey Hussle and another rap heavyweight.

On Thursday (March 27), The Breakfast Club premiered part of YG’s single “2004,” which will officially drop on Friday (March 28) after being leaked during his appearance on N3on’s Twitch stream earlier this month.

In addition to confronting the trauma he sustained from his childhood sexual assault, the 4Hunnid mastermind makes a deeply personal reflection about the loss of collaborator Nipsey Hussle while referencing Biggie Smalls and JAY-Z. In the opening bars of the track, YG raps about the assault and how the scandalous encounter forever changed his outlook.

“When I was young, I got raped by a b#### twice my age,” YG raps. “Picked me up from school, took me to hers and got laid. Ever since that day, I never looked a s### the same. Been f##### up in the brain.”

YG briefly explains how his already altered perception of life has been further skewed by the frequent loss of life, including the fatal 2019 shooting of Nipsey Hussle. While paying homage to his friend and fellow L.A. native, YG also mentioned JAY-Z and Biggie.

“How I’m supposed to change with all the f##### up s### that done seen,” he raps in part. “Nipsey left me like how Biggie left Hov.”

Elsewhere on the introspective track, YG delves deeper into the details of the sexual abuse he faced, revealing it was perpetrated by an individual who had custodial ties to a mutual connection.

“The b#### took advantage of me I ain’t have no choice,” he raps. “At 14 years old, I got my s### sucked/At 14 years old, I got my s### f#####/The hoe was 30 years old, and I never told/Was dating her niece when it happened.”

According to host Loren Lorosa, YG has never previously addressed the alleged sexual encounter nor discussed it with his immediate family members, including his mother, who will hear the allegations for the first time when the song is released.

N3on accidentally played the first bar of “2004” while streaming with YG at a restaurant. Though YG wasn’t present at the time he played the clip, N3on was visibly disturbed by the song and quickly attempted to delete the stream and wipe any evidence of the leak from the internet, although he was unsuccessful in his efforts. The viral clip and subsequent single release follow YG’s recent promotional run for “The Gentleman’s Club.”

“Will Smith Way” Unveiled In West Philadelphia To Honor The Fresh Prince

Will Smith returned home to West Philadelphia this week to see a street next to his old high school officially renamed “Will Smith Way.”

The tribute Wednesday (March 26) brought out city leaders, longtime friends and even his favorite childhood teacher.

The newly named street, formerly the 2000 block of North 59th Street, sits just steps away from Overbrook High School, the Philly native’s alma mater, where his iconic nickname was born.

During the dedication ceremony, Smith shouted out Brenda Brown, his tenth-grade teacher. Brown first dubbed him “Prince Charming,” a moniker he famously adapted into “The Fresh Prince.”

“The name `The Fresh Prince’ was coined in that building,” Smith said, gesturing toward Overbrook High. “I added the ‘fresh’ because it was Hip-Hop slang.”

Mayor Cherelle Parker and other Philadelphia officials joined Smith for the festivities, which included dedicating a basketball court in his honor and presenting him with a ceremonial key to the city.

Smith shared highlights of the event on Instagram, captioning his post, “Philly, I am yours. This is the honor of a lifetime.”

Sauce Walka Shooting: Police Identify Murder Suspect As Rapper Continues To Mourn Sayso P

Sauce Walka is determined to keep the legacy of his collaborator and The Sauce Factory (TSF) signee Sayso P alive whilst authorities work to bring his murder suspect to justice.

On Wednesday (March 26), a WREG Memphis report revealed authorities identified a suspect in the fatal downtown Memphis shooting on March 22 that claimed the life of rapper Sayso P and left Sauce Walka injured.

Memphis Police announced that an arrest warrant has been issued for 21-year-old Jayden Dandridge in connection with the shooting incident near the Westin Hotel on Lt. George W. Lee Avenue. Officials are offering a $6,000 reward for information leading to his capture.

Dandridge faces multiple charges, including one count of first-degree murder, two counts of attempted first-degree murder, two counts of employment of a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony and auto theft. Investigators recovered a stolen white 2021 Dodge Charger 392 Scat Pack believed to be tied to the case. Memphis Police Chief C.J. Davis credited surveillance footage and other data for helping authorities quickly piece together crucial details.

“The Memphis Police Department’s homicide unit has worked tirelessly around the clock to bring justice to the victims and their families,” Davis said.

Sayso P, whose legal name was Letorian Hunt, was 27-years-old at the of his death. Meanwhile, 34-year-old Albert Mondane, known as Sauce Walka, was transported to Regional One Health in non-critical condition, treated and released. In the days following the shooting, Sauce Walka has made an effort to visit all of the spots in the city of Memphis which he says Sayso P set up for him prior to his shooting death. According to the TSF head honcho, the pilgrimage throughout the city serves a memorial in real time for his fallen friend Sayso P.

JAY-Z’s Extortion Case Survives Dismissal As Judge Weighs Explosive Recordings

JAY-Z scored a significant courtroom win Wednesday when a judge decided to keep his extortion lawsuit against Texas attorney Tony Buzbee alive, citing recent explosive audio evidence as a key factor in the case.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mark Epstein reversed his earlier indication that he might dismiss JAY-Z’s extortion claim, stating in his tentative ruling on Wednesday (March 26) that recently uncovered audio recordings have “thrown a monkey wrench” into his previous considerations.

The recordings, obtained by a private investigator at the Alabama home of the woman known publicly as Jane Doe, allegedly reveal Doe stating that “Buzbee brought JAY-Z into it.” 

The audio suggests Doe never authorized Buzbee to include JAY-Z in her lawsuit against Sean “Diddy” Combs and that Buzbee allegedly “pushed” her to name JAY-Z publicly as an assailant.

Judge Epstein emphasized the significance of the new evidence, writing that it “supports not only the defamation cause of action but also the extortion cause of action.” 

JAY-Z’s lawsuit, filed in November 2024, accuses Buzbee of attempting to extort him through a demand letter seeking private mediation and a monetary settlement. 

The Hip-Hop mogul labeled the letter an “existential threat” in his sworn declaration. 

Buzbee, who represents dozens of plaintiffs in claims against Diddy, has denied any wrongdoing, calling accusations that he pressured Doe into false allegations a “blatant lie.”

Doe later claimed the recording was altered to misrepresent her statements. 

However, JAY-Z’s attorney, Alex Spiro, dismissed Doe’s claims earlier this month, asserting that the “tape speaks for itself” and calling any suggestion of his client’s involvement “effectively a lie.”

Judge Tosses Jane Doe’s Lawsuit Against JAY-Z & Diddy

The controversy surrounding JAY-Z and Buzbee intensified after Doe’s lawsuit against the Hip-Hop moguls was dismissed with prejudice last month, barring her from refiling. 

Following the dismissal, JAY-Z filed a defamation suit against Doe and her counsel, citing severe damage to his reputation and career due to the false accusations.

Doe continues to stand by her original allegations in a sworn declaration but claims she withdrew her lawsuit due to fear of intimidation.

Judge Epstein has scheduled the next hearing for April 7.

T.I. Goes Viral For Embarrassing Son King With Lewd Comments About Wife Tiny

T.I. set social media ablaze after making explicit remarks about his wife, Tiny Harris, during a live-streamed phone call with their son, King, on Wednesday night (March 26).

The viral moment unfolded as King was streaming live online and received an unexpected call from his famous rapper dad. Before hanging up, T.I. casually dropped an NSFW bombshell, telling his son exactly what he planned to do with King’s mother once the call ended.

“I done talked long enough to you. I got your mama right here,” T.I. said before launching into graphic details about his intentions with Tiny.

King visibly recoiled in embarrassment, immediately responding, “Hey bro, stop playing! Why you always playing?” Meanwhile, T.I. could be heard laughing hysterically on the other end of the line.

King soon realized the awkward exchange was destined for internet infamy. “Bro, that’s gonna go viral,” he yelled. Before T.I. could reveal any more private details, King ended the call, telling viewers, “I’m off of here.”

T.I. Embarrasses King Harris On Stream

The Harris family is no stranger to public attention. T.I. and Tiny have been a high-profile couple since the early 2000s, officially tying the knot in 2010.

Their blended household includes seven children: Zonnique, 28, Tiny’s daughter from a prior relationship; Messiah, 23, Domani, 22, and Deyjah, 22, T.I.’s children from previous relationships; and their three children together, King, 20, Major, 16, and Heiress, 8.

The family’s daily lives and adventures were chronicled in the popular VH1 reality series T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle, which aired from 2011 until 2017. A follow-up series, T.I. & Tiny: Friends & Family Hustle, continued documenting their experiences from 2018 through 2021.

Several of T.I. and Tiny’s children have followed their parents’ footsteps into entertainment, pursuing careers in music and acting. King himself recently stepped into fatherhood, welcoming his first child, a son named King Jr., on November 5, 2024.

While T.I.’s latest viral moment may have left King mortified, the Harris family clearly remains comfortable sharing their candid interactions with the public–even when things get awkwardly personal.

Sheff G Headed To Prison After Pleading Guilty To Violent Gang Crimes

Sheff G pleaded guilty to attempted murder and conspiracy charges in a high-profile gang violence case in Brooklyn Supreme Court on Wednesday.

The Brooklyn-based rapper, whose legal name is Michael Williams, agreed to a plea bargain that would land him behind bars for five years, followed by another five years of supervised probation, according to FOX5 New York.

Williams’ guilty plea comes amid a sprawling 140-count indictment targeting 32 accused members of the notorious 8 Trey Crips and 9 Ways street gangs.

Prosecutors initially pushed for a 20-year sentence, citing Williams’ alleged role in orchestrating gang violence, but Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Danny Chun accepted the reduced five-year prison term.

The rapper admitted guilt on charges of second-degree attempted murder as well as second and fourth-degree conspiracy.

Authorities accused Williams of funneling profits from his music career into financing and coordinating violent gang activities, including shootings and illegal firearm possession.

Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez criticized Williams’ actions, stating, “Notoriety could not shield this defendant from justice. He used his fame to fund and direct violence, terrorizing our streets.”

Gonzalez added, “Brooklyn will not tolerate gangs that endanger our communities.”

The charges stemmed from an incident in October 2020, when a mass shooting left one person dead and five others injured. Williams was allegedly involved in the planning and execution of the attack. Prosecutors also claimed Williams celebrated the shooting afterward at a Manhattan steakhouse dinner alongside fellow rapper Sleepy Hollow and other gang affiliates.

Sleepy Hollow remains among 14 defendants whose cases are still pending. He faces accusations of participating in the conspiracy alongside Williams and other alleged gang members. Seventeen other defendants have already entered guilty pleas.

Sheff G’s’ sentencing hearing is scheduled for August 13, 2025.

Damon Dash Hit With $4M Judgment After Defamation Lawsuit Loss

Damon Dash lost big after a California judge slapped him with a $4 million default judgment in a defamation lawsuit filed by filmmaker Josh Webber.

The hefty ruling came after the Roc-A-Fella Records co-founder failed to follow court orders, skipping required mediation sessions and neglecting to file necessary pre-trial paperwork.

Judge John F. Walter cited these repeated violations as justification for the multimillion-dollar penalty.

The legal drama traces back to Dash’s appearance on the “Earn Your Leisure” podcast in March 2024.

During the episode, Dash fired off harsh words aimed directly at Webber, labeling him a “d#######” and accusing him outright of theft.

Dash also alleged Webber and attorney Chris Brown “trigger me and steal my s###,” according to Webber’s lawsuit.

Josh Webber Claims Damon Dash Lost Him $4M Movie Deal

Dash’s heated comments stemmed from lingering bitterness over a prior legal dispute involving the film Dear Frank. That earlier case ended badly for Dash, who was ordered to pay Webber and other producers more than $800,000.

Webber argued that Dash’s inflammatory podcast remarks cost him dearly, claiming he lost a lucrative $4 million directing and producing deal for a new movie starring Hollywood veteran Billy Bob Thornton.

According to court documents, Webber stated Dash’s comments garnered hundreds of thousands of views online, severely damaging his professional reputation.

Dash, never one to shy away from controversy, suggested during the podcast that his freedom of speech was being unfairly targeted.

“There’s no real freedom of speech,” Dash said, implying he was unjustly penalized for expressing his opinions.

This latest judgment adds another chapter to Dash’s ongoing financial and legal troubles.

Webber’s attorneys have requested that Dash’s engagement ring be sold at auction to help satisfy the $4 million judgment.

Dame Dash has faced a string of legal setbacks and monetary woes in recent years.

With the court’s decision finalized, Dash now faces the daunting task of paying the substantial judgment or risk losing personal assets. 

Diddy Faces Disturbing Sexual Battery Allegations From Hollywood Photographer

Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing further serious accusations after a Hollywood photographer filed a lawsuit alleging sexual battery on the set of a commercial shoot in either 2022 or 2023.

According to the lawsuit, the photographer, a heterosexual man whose identity remains undisclosed, claims the Hip-Hop mogul invited him into his private trailer under the pretense of discussing career opportunities. Once inside, the photographer alleges Diddy quickly shifted the conversation into sexual territory, unzipped his pants, and made explicit advances.

The lawsuit contains disturbing details, including an alleged statement from Diddy: “If you suck right I’ll make your career take off.” 

The photographer claims he ultimately complied with the demand, feeling pressured and fearing for his safety and career.

Further allegations in the lawsuit describe a graphic scenario in which the accuser claims Diddy forced him to hold his semen in his mouth “like a squirrel” after the rapper climaxed.

The photographer says the incident caused severe emotional distress and psychological trauma, significantly impacting his mental health.

Diddy Denies Lawsuit Allegations

Diddy’s legal representatives swiftly responded to the allegations, firmly denying wrongdoing. In an official statement, his legal team declared, “No matter how many lawsuits are filed—especially by individuals who refuse to put their own names behind their claims—it won’t change the fact that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted or sex trafficked anyone—man or woman, adult or minor.”

The statement continued: “We live in a world where anyone can file a lawsuit for any reason. Fortunately, a fair and impartial judicial process exists to find the truth, and Mr. Combs is confident he will prevail in court.”

Meanwhile, Diddy faces federal charges under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, sex trafficking and transportation for prostitution, stemming from an extensive government investigation​.

A federal judge in New York has set key dates for the trial, set to begin on May 5, 2025.

The entire trial is anticipated to last around a month.

LeBron James Mocks Stephen A. Smith’s Fighting Words With Savage Response

LeBron James hilariously mocked ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith after the veteran sportscaster claimed he’d swing at the NBA star if things turned physical during their recent courtside spat.

On Wednesday night (March 26), James took to social media to poke fun at Smith, uploading a playful video showing the outspoken commentator shadowboxing. 

Doubling down on the trolling, James also shared a meme featuring Key Glock and Young Dolph laughing hysterically, captioning it with a sarcastic “WHOMP WHOMP WHOMPPPPPPPP” alongside multiple laughing emojis.

James responded to Smith’s recent claims that if the legendary athlete had physically confronted him, he would have “immediately swung” back. 

Smith even referenced the infamous Oscars incident between Will Smith and Chris Rock, acknowledging he’d probably get his “butt kicked” if a similar scenario unfolded with James.

However, Smith began catching heat online and quickly clarified his remarks. Smith insisted he wasn’t intimidated by the idea of a physical altercation but admitted he’d likely face severe consequences if it ever happened.

“Nice try folks. On my show, I said I would’ve swung on @kingjames had he slapped me — like lots of y’all said I was scared he would’ve done a few weeks ago,” Smith tweeted. “I also said immediately after that I would’ve gotten my ass thoroughly kicked by the 6’8″, 250lb Goliath, but folks just left that part of my Youtube sentence out, huh? Okay. Have fun!”

LeBron James Urges Stephen A. Smith To “Chill Out”

LeBron, appearing on “The Pat McAfee Show,” likened the commentator’s behavior to a “Taylor Swift tour run,” implying Smith was chasing attention. 

The Lakers star also explained that Smith “completely missed the whole point” of their courtside exchange. James said he welcomes fair criticism of his game but draws a line at “personal” attacks, suggesting Smith had crossed that boundary.

James humorously predicted Smith would be “smiling from ear to ear” upon hearing his comments, joking that Smith would probably “grab some ice cream out of the f###### freezer and sit in his chair in his tighty whities on the couch” to savor the moment. 

He wrapped up his remarks by advising Smith to “relax” and “chill out,” implying the ESPN host was overreacting.

Ice-T Proves Even Tough Guys Love Puppies With Greeting Card

Ice-T swapped his tough-guy persona for a cardigan and cupcakes in a playful new birthday ecard inspired by “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood” from American Greetings.

The legendary rapper and “Law & Order: SVU” actor temporarily ditches his trademark leather jacket for a cozy purple sweater, transforming himself into a cheerful alter-ego named “Nice T.”

In the humorous digital greeting, Nice T tackles birthday party preparations, from decorating cupcakes and wrapping gifts to sculpting ice and serenading viewers with a clarinet solo.

The clip culminates with Ice-T surrounded by a pack of puppies, proving even the toughest Hip-Hop icons can’t resist adorable animals.

“Birthdays have always been a reflective time for me,” said Ice T. “I appreciate every day throughout the year but hearing from so many friends and family on my birthday reminds me of just how lucky I am. Knowing I can now be a small part of someone’s birthday celebration is truly a gift.”

Rob Matousek, an executive at American Greetings, praised Ice-T’s diversity and expressed excitement about bringing the Hip-Hop star into their digital lineup.

The rapper’s SmashUp ecard is available on the American Greetings and Blue Mountain websites and their respective apps.

Kanye West Sued By German Artist Over “Unauthorized” Sample & Antisemitism

Kanye West is facing yet another legal battle stemming from both his music and recent rants expressing his controversial beliefs.

On Wednesday (March 26), TMZ revealed German singer Alice Merton filed a lawsuit against West claiming he used an unauthorized sample of her song “Blindside” in his track “Gun to My Head,” which she originally wrote and recorded in 2022. The song, which also features Ty Dolla $ign and Kid Cudi, was included on West’s 2023 album Vultures.

In February 2024, West formally requested permission to use the song through BMG Rights Management, but Merton rejected the request. When BMG followed up, asking for a reason, Merton responded that “the artist’s values are contrary to our values” and specifically pointed to Ye’s “antisemitic, racist remarks which were made publicly and continue to be made publicly.”

The lawsuit now adds to the growing pile of legal troubles West has faced in recent years, many of which have been tied to his increasingly inflammatory rhetoric. Most recently, he stirred even more outrage by describing his album Bully in a way that many see as another provocation.

Taking to his Twitter (X) account, West posted, “This next album got that antisemitic sound. My new sound called antisemitic.”

Last month, West unveiled plans to launch a cryptocurrency called Swasticoin, claiming high demand for the digital asset despite widespread backlash. Though the digital financial endeavor didn’t end up coming to fruition, West didn’t abandon his infatuation with the Nazi symbol and went as far as debuting a S####### custom chain on social media.

Despite previous attempts to walk back some of his most inflammatory comments, West continues to double down. His recent string of antisemitic remarks has drawn widespread condemnation, with many questioning whether he truly believes the things he says or is merely courting controversy.

His history suggests it may be both. A former employee once revealed to CNN that West allegedly wanted to title an album after Adolf Hitler in 2018, citing admiration for the Nazi leader’s power and influence.

North Carolina Democrat Wants Petey Pablo’s “Raise Up” To Be State Anthem

Petey Pablo could soon see his 2001 hit “Raise Up” enshrined in North Carolina history as the state’s official Hip-Hop anthem under a new Senate bill.

The proposal, introduced by Durham Democrat Natalie Murdock, aims to recognize the song’s artistic ties to the state, where it has long been a staple at sporting events and celebrations.

The track, produced by Timbaland, was released in August 2001 as the lead single from Pablo’s debut album, Diary of a Sinner: 1st Entry.

It climbed to No. 25 on the Billboard Hot 100 and earned a Gold certification in 2002.

With its unmistakable hook and shoutout to North Carolina, Petey Pablo’s song became an unofficial anthem, often blasting through stadium speakers at Carolina Panthers and Hurricanes games.

If passed, Senate Bill 512 would give “Raise Up” the same official status as other state symbols like the dogwood flower and the cardinal.

The decision now rests with lawmakers, who will decide if “Raise Up” will take its place among North Carolina’s official state symbols.

Additionally, Thug tweeted, “KING SPIDER THE BIGGEST STAR,” on March 26, further adding to speculation that he’s teasing some sort of body of work ahead of pulling the trigger on its release.

The latest rumors surrounding Thugger’s music follows the fever-pitch uptick in demands for new material from the Atlanta lyricist following a leak earlier this month. unreleased snippet clocking in at roughly 15-seconds captured the Atlanta rapper seemingly delivering bars conveying his frustration with the forfeiture of his property to the authorities following a police raid on his home in 2022. Though Thug recently successfully retrieved several pieces of valuable jewelry seized during raid as part of a racketeering case there appears to be one major prized possession in particular he is missing badly at the moment.

Benzino Calls Out Tony Yayo To Fight While Blaming YouTuber For Beef Between Black Men

Benzino went on an explosive livestream, revisiting years of tension with Tony Yayo while simultaneously claiming he holds no current issues with the G-Unit rapper.

In the midst of the rant, he also took direct aim at DJ Vlad, accusing him of fueling conflicts between Black men for entertainment and profit. For reference, the former Source magazine co-owner and Yayo were both caught up digging into old wounds on multiple occasions last year on various media platforms.

For instance, Yayo told a story about a confrontation with Benzino during the height of his beef with Eminem in addition to claiming he was broke during interviews with Vlad. On the other hand, Benzino appeared on platforms in which he told disparaging stories about Yayo allegedly being ridiculed during his time in prison.

As for Benzino’s latest rant, he added on to the lore of his aforementioned claims about Yayo in detail while attempting to make some haphazard point about media manipulating rapper’s and their feuds for content opportunities. While launching into a string of past altercations, Benzino alleged Yayo allegedly had cereal and “jail milk” poured over his head.

“You know, jail milk’s way worse than regular milk,” Benzino said mockingly.

A post shared by AllHipHop (@allhiphopcom)

He then brought up another alleged incident apart of Yayo’s beef with former record executive Jimmy “Henchmen” Rosemond, who the G-Unit rapper purportedly became at odds with after striking his teenage son.

“We’re talking to Tony Yayo, whose mother’s house got shot up after Jimmy’s son got smacked up, and he didn’t do nothing after that,” he said. “That Tony Ayo?”

He also described the aforementioned run-in with Yayo on Collins Avenue in Miami, where Yayo and his crew allegedly jumped out of a suburban, made threats, but ultimately left without conflict.

“That story’s no story,” he argued, before claiming that had the roles been reversed, the outcome would’ve been different. “At that time, if it was me and my boss, a bloody bean, we would have been in the suburban with them.”

Despite resurfacing these past incidents, Benzino insisted that there’s no actual beef. While maintaining that he harbors no ill will toward Yayo, Benzino also issued an open challenge.

“If there is a beef between me and him, he knows how to contact me,” he said. “I’m not hard to find. We could do these [mimics boxing motions] or we could do these [mimics shooting a gun].”

The rant took a turn as he directed his frustration at DJ Vlad, blaming him for stirring up old tensions.

“Your pilgrim ass, your Plymouth Rock landing ass keeps trying to instigate beef between Black men and this is a perfect example,” he charged.

According to Benzino, Vlad’s platform thrives off rekindling dormant feuds.

“The way it happens is you keep bringing it up, he’ll say something like I just said something, he’ll say something, then we’ll see each other and then sh*t’ll go down,” he said. “While you are at the crib, safe and sound.”

Benzino warned his viewers about the alleged pattern, suggesting that platforms like VladTV profit from Black men incriminating themselves. “These devils don’t go to jail. The Vlads don’t go to jail. They’re getting so rich off of the stories being told on their platform. Even when dudes get locked up in the RICO, the content still goes on.”

Benzino’s claims follow rumors circulating online that platforms such as DJ Vlad and No Jumper contributed to the arrest and charges against Big U—who currently faces RICO charges and a slew of other serious offenses.

Lil Novi, the youngest son of Lil Wayne and singer Nivea, has been steadily building his own rap career, appearing alongside his father on projects such as “No Ceilings 3.”

In a recent 2024 interview with Flophouse Atlanta, Lil Novi made headlines when he compared Carti to his legendary father.

When asked who he considered the greatest rapper of all time, Novi initially responded, “Obviously, my dad.”

However, he quickly added, “But for me, I’d say like because Carti is like the Wayne now, so yeah, Carti.”

The host pushed back on Novi’s comparison, prompting the young rapper to clarify his statement.

“If you really like think, he’s there,” Novi explained. “He’s reached that level. He’s done crazy numbers.”

Lil Novi’s comments reflect a growing sentiment among younger Hip-Hop listeners who see Playboi Carti as a defining artist of their generation.

Born in November 2009, Lil Novi is the youngest of Lil Wayne’s four children, joining siblings Reginae Carter, Dwayne Michael Carter III and Kameron Carter.

Despite his young age, Novi has already begun carving out his musical path, inspired by his father’s extensive catalog and contemporary artists like Carti.

Novi previously expressed his preference for Lil Wayne’s recent music, naming Tha Carter V as one of his favorite albums. 

SIGNS: FBI Plots Tesla Attacks Task Force After Incendiary Devices Found On Cars

The war on Tesla just turned into an explosive federal affair.

The FBI has launched a high-powered task force to hunt down those responsible for a wave of violent attacks against the electric car giant and its owners, a CNN report revealed. The announcement of the task force follows a shocking development in which incendiary bombs were found planted at a Tesla dealership in Austin, Texas on March 25.

Authorities say officers responded to a distressing call Monday morning about “suspicious devices” at the dealership. The Austin Police bomb squad swiftly determined the devices were incendiary in nature and safely removed them before disaster could strike. Now, the FBI is taking the lead in the investigation, and agents are racing to find out who is behind this terrifying act.

FBI Director Kash Patel issued a tweet about the nationwide string of Tesla attacks a day before the devices were discovered in Austin.

“This is domestic terrorism. Those responsible will be pursued, caught and brought to justice,” Patel declared on March 24.

Additionally, earlier this month, a masked arsonist torched multiple Tesla vehicles at a repair facility in Las Vegas, a horrifying scene that left onlookers in shock. Attorney General Pam Bondi echoed the urgency, calling these attacks nothing short of a national crisis. Bondi insisted that law enforcement will not tolerate these acts of destruction.

Meanwhile, Tesla owners are feeling the heat too. One woman in Wichita found her bright red Tesla viciously scratched after parking at a restaurant. “Damaging a personal vehicle does not affect Elon Musk,” she told CNN. “It’s not damaging who you’re thinking it is.”

The violence against Tesla and its properties is escalating at an alarming rate. Molotov cocktails have been hurled at charging stations. Gunshots have ripped through showrooms. Vandalism, arson and sabotage have been reported across at least nine states.

Musk tweeted he was furious and called out the perpetrators, writing, “Tesla just makes electric cars and has done nothing to deserve these evil attacks….There is no doubt that shooting bullets into Tesla stores and burning down Superchargers are acts of terrorism.”

Sean Kingston Trial Kicks Off, Witnesses Offer Damning Testimony & Fake Wire Receipts

Sean Kingston and his mother, Janice Turner, are facing decades behind bars as their federal fraud trial begins in Broward County.

Kingston and Turner were indicted in Miami federal court on one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and five counts of wire fraud.

The singer and his mother are accused of orchestrating a million-dollar scheme involving luxury goods, bank fraud, and wire fraud, with both pleading not guilty to the charges.

Prosecutors allege the duo used fraudulent documents and fake wire transfers to obtain high-end items, including nearly $500,000 in jewelry, a $160,000 Cadillac Escalade and an $86,000 luxury bed.

Authorities say the scheme also involved over $300,000 from two different banks.

Turner wasted no time making waves in court, requesting a new attorney on her first day.

On Tuesday (March 25), several victims took the stand, including a watch dealer who claimed he lost hundreds of thousands of dollars because of Kingston’s scheme.

Other witnesses claimed Kingston and his mother created fake receipts for wire transfers of money to defraud their victims out of luxury items, including a TV valued at over $100,000.

A car salesman also testified that he received a fake wire transfer receipt after Kingston attempted to purchase a luxury vehicle.

The alleged fraud unraveled in May 2024 when Kingston was arrested at Fort Irwin, California, during a performance, while Turner was taken into custody the same day during a raid at Kingston’s rented mansion in Southwest Ranches, Florida.

The arrests came as Kingston was already serving two years probation for trafficking stolen property.

Turner, meanwhile, has a prior conviction for bank fraud. If convicted on all counts, both face up to 20 years in prison for each charge.

Kim Kardashian To Relive Paris Robbery In Court Testimony

Kim Kardashian will testify in France about the infamous Paris jewelry heist nearly nine years after armed robbers stole $10 million worth of her valuables.

The reality star and entrepreneur is set to appear in court in May 2025, TMZ reports, marking a significant turning point in the drawn-out legal drama surrounding the 2016 robbery. 

Kardashian previously gave a formal statement to a French judge, but this will be her first time testifying before a jury, offering a detailed retelling of the terrifying night.

The heist unfolded during Paris Fashion Week at the exclusive No Address Hotel, where Kim Kardashian was staying. Masked intruders held her at gunpoint, making off with approximately $10 million in jewelry, including a 20-carat diamond ring from then-husband Kanye West valued at around $4 million.

Twelve suspects will face charges ranging from robbery and kidnapping to organized gang activity. The trial follows a lengthy five-year investigation that concluded in 2021, finally paving the way for a jury to hear the case.

Kim Kardashian Reveals Kanye West’s Warning Before Paris Robbery

Earlier this month, The SKIMS founder revisited the traumatic event on her Hulu series “The Kardashians,” recalling how Kanye had warned her about the risks of flaunting expensive jewelry online. 

After posting an Instagram video showing off both of her extravagant engagement rings at a Madison Square Garden event, Kanye cautioned her, “Don’t you ever wear both of your rings at the same time. Are you looking to get robbed?”

Taking his advice seriously, Kardashian left her original 15-carat engagement ring at home when she traveled to Paris, a decision she credits with saving the sentimental piece from theft. 

She explained, “My first one that I got engaged to Kanye [with] was a cushion cut and that was the only piece of jewelry I owned that I didn’t take to Paris.”

For several years after the robbery, Kardashian avoided wearing extravagant jewelry in public, adopting a more understated style.

The trial is scheduled to begin in May 2025.

Joe Budden Faces Lawsuit Over Naked “Sleep Walking” Incident

Joe Budden is facing a lawsuit from two of his neighbors over allegations that he attempted to enter their residence naked and created a disruptive environment with his podcast.

According to TMZ, the lawsuit was filed by attorney Thomas Mirigliano on behalf of John and Yuliya Aksoy and claims that Budden, his podcast co-host Melyssa Ford and the condo association engaged in a “campaign of intimidation and retribution” after the couple raised complaints about the excessive noise from Budden’s podcast recordings.

The Aksoys allege that Budden and his associates frequently smoked marijuana in the condo’s common areas, leaving ashes on the property and creating a “hazardous environment” for their young daughter.

The couple’s grievances led them to file a complaint with the condo association, which sparked a tense exchange with Budden. According to the lawsuit, Budden accused Yuliya of making racially charged comments and claimed to have recorded evidence of the remarks, though the couple asserts that no such recording has surfaced.

The lawsuit also highlights an episode of the “Joe Budden Podcast” from October 19, 2024, during which Budden and his co-hosts allegedly played loud music, simulated gunshots and “sirens for more than eight minutes” in an apparent effort to antagonize the Aksoys. Furthermore, the couple claims that Budden openly mocked the allegations of his naked hallway incident on the podcast, referring to them dismissively and joking about the situation.

They have included screenshots from a door camera that purportedly show Budden in the hallway without clothing in December 2024. Following the incident, Budden was temporarily barred from the condo but allegedly returned about a week later.

Joe Budden’s attorney, Nima Ameri, has denied the allegations, calling the lawsuit “a money grab attempt by a person we believe to be a racist.”

In response to the growing controversy, Budden recently relocated his podcast recordings back to the basement studio of his engineer, Parks. While Budden cited municipal bylaws as the reason for the change, he denied that his personal legal troubles influenced the move.

“You cannot film anything in any of those buildings,” Budden explained. “What I’m going through personally is totally separate.”

Despite this, speculation among fans has been rampant. Many believe Budden’s decision to move the podcast was directly tied to the legal dispute. Social media users pointed out that the building was already unhappy with the podcast being recorded there and the fallout from the naked hallway incident may have escalated tensions further. Some listeners also noted that co-host Flip inadvertently confirmed they were still recording in the building after the incident, potentially leading to their removal.

As Budden prepares for his January 16 court date on disorderly lewdness charges, his legal team maintains his innocence.

GloRilla Forced To Abruptly End Chaotic St. Louis Concert Early Following Multiple Fights

GloRilla abruptly halted her St. Louis concert at The Factory in Chesterfield after multiple brawls erupted in the audience on Monday (March 25). 

The Memphis native was midway through her Glorious Tour performance when chaos unfolded among attendees. 

According to Fox 2 Now, at least three altercations broke out consecutively, forcing the rapper to pause her set repeatedly.

Eyewitnesses described the scene as initially enjoyable before quickly spiraling into disorder. One concertgoer told reporters, “It was real fun. Up until the fighting.” 

The same attendee vividly recounted the chaotic scene.

“It was actually like a WWE fight; it was really fun; we’re up there peeking over—I had front row in the balcony, and it’s like a sea of people,” they added. “Then you see a little scramble for a second, and people would start running to it.”

Social media footage captured the rapper’s frustration as she attempted to regain control of the crowd. GloRilla stepped in multiple times, pleading with the St. Louis audience to calm down.

One witness explained, “She was very involved,” adding, “Every time she had to interrupt, they’d turn the lights on, the song would stop, and they’d have to restart. They did it three times, which I thought was pretty disrespectful, but she never got through that last song.”

Despite her repeated efforts, the disturbances continued. 

Ultimately, safety concerns compelled GloRilla to wrap her St. Louis show prematurely. Clips circulating online show the rapper stopping mid-song, visibly distressed by the unfolding situation.

Before the fights, the concert had progressed smoothly, with fans enjoying GloRilla’s energetic set.
