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.

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.

Aaron Hall Has Vanished According To Woman Suing Diddy & Singer

Aaron Hall is evading legal papers, prompting Liza Gardner—who accused Hall and Sean “Diddy” Combs of sexual assault—to request serving him through newspaper notices after months of unsuccessful attempts to track him down.

Gardner, represented by attorney Tyrone Blackburn, has diligently attempted to serve Hall since filing the lawsuit in November 2023.

The suit accuses Hall and Combs of sexually assaulting Gardner when she was 16, following an MCA Records event in 1990 or 1991.

Gardner alleges Combs gave her alcohol and forced her into sexual acts at Hall’s New Jersey apartment. She further claims Aaron Hall then “burst into the room” and assaulted her as well, leaving her “shocked and traumatized.”

Blackburn stated clearly why Gardner now seeks to serve Hall through newspapers.

“I believe that service by publication is now the only remaining option to provide notice of this lawsuit to Mr. Hall. We have effectively exhausted all reasonable methods of locating him. I am unaware of any additional addresses, locations, or persons we could rely on to get the summons directly to Hall. Therefore, publication in newspapers is being sought as a last resort.”

Court documents detail Gardner’s extensive efforts to locate Aaron Hall. Process servers tried to serve him at a View Park, California address on June 12, 2024, but neighbors and current residents confirmed Hall had moved.

Another attempt on June 20, 2024, at a Tarzana, California residence also failed, with the current homeowner stating Hall had relocated two years prior.

Gardner expanded her search to Ohio, attempting service twice at a Cleveland address in early September 2024. On September 5, no one answered the door and the following day, the occupant who responded denied knowing Hall.

Further investigative efforts identified a Woodland Hills, California apartment as Hall’s potential last-known residence.

Gardner’s team attempted rush service there on November 6, 2024, and again in January 2025 after filing an amended complaint, but Hall remained elusive.

With Hall’s current location unknown and possible ties to Georgia and California, Gardner now seeks court approval to publish notices in newspapers circulating in both states.

The lawsuit, filed under New York’s Adult Survivors Act—which provided a one-year window for survivors to file claims—also names MCA Inc., Universal Music Group and other entities as defendants.

Former co-defendant DeVanté Swing of Jodeci, initially accused of witnessing the assault without intervening, was voluntarily dismissed from the suit without prejudice in January 2025.

En Vogue’s Dawn Robinson Blasts Jermaine Dupri For Judging Her Lifestyle

Dawn Robinson fired back at Jermaine Dupri after he openly questioned her claim to be homeless and said she chose to live in her car. 

Speaking out during an interview on “Way Up With Angela Yee” on Tuesday (March 25), the former En Vogue singer didn’t hold back her disbelief at Dupri’s remarks, insisting he had no genuine insight into her personal circumstances.

“He doesn’t know my story,” Robinson asserted. “I’ve only met him once in my life, if that.”

Robinson responded to Dupri’s skepticism about her financial situation and her choice to embrace “car life.” 

Dupri had openly doubted Robinson’s claims of financial hardship, particularly after learning she employed an assistant while living in her vehicle.

“Having an assistant is not something you should even think about if you don’t have no money,” Dupri remarked during an Instagram Live earlier this month. He further expressed disbelief, adding, “Ain’t no g###### way she got an assistant and she ain’t got no money.”

Dawn Robinson Was Stunned By Jermaine Dupri’s Remarks

Robinson, however, wasn’t amused by Dupri’s assumptions and was frustrated by his lack of empathy.

“So I was shocked,” Robinson explained. “He doesn’t know my story, so he’s assuming. Instead of reaching out to me directly and saying, ‘Hey, you know I heard about your situation, what do you need? Are you OK?’ or ‘Hey, I don’t know her story but she’s being very brave.’ Like, be quiet.”

She also criticized Dupri’s approach, noting that artists typically show solidarity.

“We don’t attack each other like that,” she added. “You would swear that he knows me directly, like he knows my story and why. It’s like, where are you coming from? It was a shock, but I’m like, some people have to just be negative, and he doesn’t know my story.”

Robinson also clarified her living arrangement, emphasizing that her decision to live in her car was a personal choice rather than a forced circumstance.

Dead Prez Talks JAY-Z, Kanye West, Lord Jamar, Obama, Loud Records & Getting More Free

The always revolutionary dead prez isn’t holding back. The legends keep it 100, whether discussing Barack Obama’s legacy, their one-time shocking collaboration with Jay-Z or their experience with Kanye West. AllHipHop‘s Chuck Jigsaw Creekmur talks to dead prez members M-1 and Stic.man partially to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their groundbreaking album Let’s Get Free and secondly to explore their impact.

These are deep dives into dead prez’s revolutionary creative process, their plight with Loud Records and even their interesting views on gangs, also known as street tribes. They honor the powerful influence Public Enemy Mobb Deep, The Black Panther Party, Curtis Mayfield and others. The duo also candidly addresses their rough-n-tumble experiences with the music industry, leaving space for new creative ventures.

With a new book and fresh music on deck, the dpz continue their mission of liberation and empowerment through movement and organization. Real Hip-Hop remains revolutionary. Below is a highly redacted version of an hour-long video conversation between Jigsaw, M-1 and Stic.

AllHipHop: It’s been a minute, but we’re finally talking to the revolutionary duo dead prez—M-1 and Stic.Man—to celebrate 25 years of their groundbreaking album Let’s Get Free. What’s good, fellas?

M-1: Salute, blessed to be here, man.

AllHipHop: Let’s Get Free is 25 years old. Can you reflect on the urgency and mindset during its creation?

Stic: Man, when we created Let’s Get Free, we didn’t even know if we’d get another chance. We were facing homelessness, uncertainty, and the industry pressures. It was do-or-die. We went kamikaze, said what needed to be said. The album is like our “table of contents,” covering police brutality, wellness, sexuality, and mental liberation.

M-1: Exactly. Brooklyn was our battleground. We were revolutionary-minded, feeling the looming presence of white power structures that still dominate today. It was about fearless truth-telling.

AllHipHop: You famously collaborated with Prodigy on “Be Healthy.” What was your relationship like?

M-1: Prodigy was deeply introspective and revolutionary-minded behind closed doors. He didn’t care about industry expectations. We respected him greatly as an intellectual, as someone well-read, pushing boundaries in his own lane.

Stic: Mobb Deep was a huge inspiration, from their beats to their gritty storytelling. They showed us how to keep it street and sophisticated simultaneously.

READ ALSO: In BK, dead prez Celebrates 25th Anniversary Of Their Revolutionary Debut “Let’s Get Free”

AllHipHop: Kanye West produced a remix for “Hip-Hop,” which surprised many. How did that happen?

M-1: Kanye used to hang around our sessions—he was influenced by our message and even our fashion sense! He produced the “Still Bigger Than Hip Hop” remix, which happened organically as our song gained momentum on MTV and BET.

AllHipHop: Did you clash with Loud Records artistically?

Stic: Steve Rifkind believed in us but there was friction, of course. Labels want comfortable artists, and we wanted ownership—masters, publishing—things that matter.

AllHipHop: The phrase “Revolutionary but Gangster” paired with red, black, and green bandanas was provocative. Why choose such controversial symbolism?

M-1: We spoke the language of street tribes to connect with warriors, aiming to unify gangs against a common oppressive system. It was symbolic of our revolutionary approach—organizing through street culture.

Stic: Exactly. Gang culture is everywhere—police, politicians, corporations—all are gangs. We used our art to show unity and strength. We need to bang for real issues: health, community control, and liberation.

AllHipHop: During Obama’s presidency, did you feel differently about America’s potential for change?

M-1: No, Obama was charismatic, intelligent, but he embodied neo-colonialism. He expanded U.S. military presence in Africa significantly. It’s not about color, it’s about power dynamics.

Stic: Obama had charisma, but policy-wise, nothing fundamentally changed. His symbolic value was high, but real systemic change didn’t follow. The system remains intact.

AllHipHop: What’s your take on today’s Hip-Hop landscape?

Stic: It’s become monotonous and artificial. Authentic messages are rare, which makes revolutionary music more necessary than ever. Today’s artists should seize this open lane and deliver meaningful messages.

M-1: Hip-Hop now reflects broader cultural issues—capitalist exploitation and devaluation of art. There’s a void for artists genuinely committed to cultural integrity.

AllHipHop: What’s next for dead prez?

M-1: We have a new book dropping soon, “Music Message Movement: dead prez’s Liner Notes For Liberation,” covering insights from our journey, including working with Jay-Z.

Stic: New music is definitely coming. We’re here to keep drawing that line in the sand, pushing for health, wellness, and community empowerment. Revolution doesn’t retire, it evolves.

AllHipHop: Your legacy is undeniable. Any final message?

Stic: Consistency is key. Impact is the point. We stay grateful, grounded, and committed to the struggle. Revolutionary love always.

M-1: Much love to AllHipHop for keeping it real. We’ll keep the conversation going as long as we’re breathing.

Boosie Badazz Responds To Scholarship Controversy: ‘I’m Suing Everybody!’

Boosie Badazz is vowing to sue Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill and others after threats of legal action surfaced over his scholarship honoring late Southern University student Caleb Wilson.

The Baton Rouge rapper took to Instagram Live Tuesday (March 25) to vent his frustrations.

“I’m going to fight them with tooth and nail,” he declared, adding, “I’m suing the state of Louisiana. I’m suing everybody.”

The controversy began after Boosie announced the Caleb Wilson Memorial Scholarship during his sixth annual Boosie Bash Festival at Southern University. 

Wilson, a Southern University student, tragically died in a hazing incident. Boosie explained he wanted to honor Wilson’s memory and assist the family.

However, Wilson’s parents objected, claiming they had no prior knowledge of the scholarship and never authorized using their son’s name or likeness in promotional materials. 

Attorney General Murrill stepped in, accusing Boosie of exploiting Wilson’s tragedy to promote a commercial event. 

Murrill labeled the rapper’s actions “disgusting” and a “dramatic misrepresentation.” Murrill also demanded the immediate removal of Wilson’s name from all event promotions.

Boosie denied the allegations, insisting he never intended to profit from Wilson’s death. 

He emphasized that the Boosie Bash was advertised months before Wilson’s passing and claimed he was explicitly asked to assist the family upon returning home.

“I can’t believe how this city doing me,” Boosie said during his Instagram Live session, highlighting his contributions to Baton Rouge’s economy. 

He also stressed the peaceful nature of his annual festival, noting that no violent incidents occurred in its seven-year history due to strict rules he implemented.

“I’m lost for words,” he said. “This s### hurt my feelings.”

The rapper previously described Murrill’s legal threats as “the ultimate betrayal” and “another money grab,” calling the situation a “slap in the face” and “completely wrong.” 

He also alleged that Southern University officials and others prevented him from directly contacting Wilson’s family. Despite the backlash, Boosie offered a $10,000 donation to the Wilson family.

Murrill questioned whether proceeds from the Boosie Bash were genuinely allocated to the scholarship as initially advertised. Meanwhile, Wilson’s family clarified their understanding was that Boosie intended to contribute to an existing scholarship fund rather than create a new one connected to his event.

Additionally, Boosie said this year’s event could be the final Boosie Bash held in Louisiana and is considering relocating the festival elsewhere.

Sexyy Red Accused Of Inciting Online Mob Against Child’s Grandmother In Shocking Lawsuit

Sexyy Red faces a multimillion-dollar lawsuit after allegedly urging her social media followers to attack her child’s grandmother at the woman’s Hazelwood home.

The 26-year-old St. Louis Hip-Hop artist, whose real name is Janae Wherry, is accused in court documents filed this week of posting the address and an image of Nicole Barnes’ residence on Facebook, along with instructions for her supporters to “kick in the door” and “conduct acts of violence” against Barnes, STLToday reports.

Barnes, 51, is the paternal grandmother of one of Sexyy Red’s two children. She reportedly discovered the alarming social media posts on December 3 and immediately feared for her safety.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by SEXYY RED (@sexyyred)

According to Barnes’ attorney, Steven Weaver, the dispute between Sexyy Red and the father of her child has nothing to do with Barnes, who was unexpectedly thrust into the center of the controversy.

“Sexxy Red and her baby daddy are getting into beefs, for whatever reason, that have nothing to do with my client,” Weaver stated. “We did try to informally resolve it, and her attorneys thought it was a joke.”

The lawsuit accuses Sexyy Red of assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and negligent infliction of emotional distress.

Barnes is seeking $5 million in damages, citing ongoing trauma and emotional harm.

Since the incident, Barnes and her family have vacated their Hazelwood home, citing serious safety concerns.

According to the lawsuit, Barnes has struggled to find comparable housing within her budget, forcing her into a difficult financial and emotional situation.

The complaint further alleges that Barnes now lives in persistent fear and has required professional counseling to cope with the stress and anxiety caused by the rapper’s alleged actions.

Sexyy Red has not publicly commented on the lawsuit or any allegations. 

Meek Mill Slams “Fake Thug” Luce Cannon’s Wild Kidnapping Allegations

Meek Mill clapped back at Luce Cannon’s kidnapping claims after Cannon’s allegations resurfaced following his recent arrest in Los Angeles.

The Philadelphia rapper didn’t hold back, dismissing Cannon’s accusations as a desperate attempt to muddy the waters amid serious legal troubles. 

“This guy must be using a story to confuse his indictment,” Meek Mill tweeted Tuesday (March 25). “Because I never seen him B4 …I woulda put him to ‘gods test’ on the spot! I never even met buddy but I don’t ‘negotiate’ with fake thugs.'”

Meek added, “Ask him what chain because all my chains some s### lol watches all 300k up vibes.”

Luce Cannon Claims Rick Ross Paid $50K Ransom For Meek Mill

Cannon, who recently landed behind bars alongside Eugene “Big U” Henley Jr. and other alleged Rollin’ 60s Crips members, previously claimed that he kidnapped Meek Mill at a Los Angeles nightclub. According to Cannon, he held Meek hostage, demanding a $50,000 ransom. Cannon alleged Meek was forced to call rapper Rick Ross, who paid the ransom to secure Meek’s freedom.

Cannon further claimed the incident was retaliation for Meek “talking reckless on Twitter,” calling it strictly a “business transaction,” not extortion. 

He also suggested Meek would have ended up “in the trunk” had Ross not paid the ransom. 

Cannon even connected the alleged kidnapping to Meek’s subsequent friendship with late rapper Nipsey Hussle, suggesting the incident led to them becoming “cool.”

Meek Mill, however, vehemently denied Cannon’s narrative.

“We can see clear d########,” he stated. “The jig is up from all These bought of fake hip hop pages! That s### work for kids not for grown men!”

The rapper also emphasized his strong ties and mutual respect with West Coast artists and clarified his stance on regional feuds.

“ME NIPSEY YG MUSTARD AND FEW OTHERS MADE SURE WE DIDNT FOLLOW THE EAST COAST WEST COAST narrative!” Meek declared. “I changed my life by blessings …. but i always  been down to meet up with ‘fake street bully’s’ in abandon areas’ where it’s no civilians and take they heart!”

Cannon now faces federal charges, including robbery, murder, human trafficking and extortion as part of a sweeping RICO indictment. 

Donald Trump’s Executive Order Sparks Outrage Over Voting Rights Restrictions

Donald Trump has signed an executive order mandating proof of citizenship for voter registration in federal elections.

The move sparked immediate backlash from voting rights advocates who warn of widespread disenfranchisement.

Under the directive, prospective voters must present official documents such as passports, Real IDs or military identification cards to register for federal elections. 

The Election Assistance Commission has been tasked with swiftly updating federal voter registration forms.

The executive order also compels states to purge noncitizens from voter registration lists. 

Additionally, states will no longer be allowed to count mail-in or absentee ballots received after Election Day. States refusing to comply risk losing critical federal election funding.

Trump’s administration claimed the order was a necessary step to combat voter fraud, explicitly targeting noncitizen voting. 

However, critics pointed out that documented cases of such fraud are extremely rare, suggesting the measure is unnecessary and potentially discriminatory.

Legal experts and advocacy groups condemned the order, arguing it exceeds presidential authority and violates constitutional protections. 

Voting rights organizations also raised alarm over the potential disenfranchisement of millions of eligible voters, especially in marginalized communities lacking easy access to required identification documents. 

The threat of withholding federal election funds from states failing to comply has drawn additional criticism. Opponents label the tactic coercive and an intrusion into state governance of elections. 

Multiple lawsuits challenging the order are expected.

50 Cent Celebrates As Ambitious Shreveport Project Officially Greenlit By Council

50 Cent has sealed a major deal after the Shreveport City Council approved a 30-year lease agreement with his company, G-Unit Film & Television, for the Stageworks Building.

The rapper-turned-media mogul unexpectedly appeared at Tuesday’s council meeting (March 25), surprising city officials and attendees. According to the Shreveport-Bossier City Advocate, 50 Cent playfully addressed the council members, remarking, “I’m looking at all these faces and wondering who won’t be voting for me.”

Under the terms of the agreement, G-Unit will pay Shreveport a modest monthly rent of $200 for the use of the Stageworks facility. 

The lease includes an option to renew for an additional 15 years. 50 Cent’s company will also be responsible for the building’s maintenance and operational expenses.

50 Cent admitted to feeling unusually anxious about the council’s decision despite his extensive experience performing in front of large crowds. 

After the successful vote, he confessed, “You know, I’ve been in places with a lot of people. And I’ve never been this nervous before.”

The Stageworks Building will be transformed into a multi-purpose venue hosting various events, including professional and amateur sports competitions, mixed martial arts and boxing matches, car exhibitions, conventions, and seminars. 

The ambitious project is part of 50 Cent’s vision to establish Shreveport as a significant entertainment hub.

The lease will begin seven days after the mayor signs off on the agreement.

50 Cent Vows To “Overdeliver With Shreveport.”

50 Cent expressed genuine enthusiasm for his growing connection to the city, stating, “I just want to say, in a short period of time, I’ve come to like the people of Shreveport in a different way like it feels like a home away from home for me and it will eventually be home because I have so much work here.”

He further pledged to exceed expectations, promising the community, “I promise I will overdeliver with Shreveport.”

Following the council’s approval, 50 Cent took to Instagram to celebrate the news.

“All Roads Lead to shreveport!” he wrote. “Stop hating its show time.”

Nelly Reveals Why “MTV Cribs” Was “Worst Thing” He Ever Did & How It Affected His Mom

Nelly has explained why he has regrets about his appearance on one of MTV’s most beloved, now defunct, original series in the early 2000s.

During a recent interview with The Cruz Show, Nelly opened up about his appearance on MTV Cribs and why he considers it a major misstep in his career. According to the St. Louis-bred lyricist, after his episode aired in 2002 amid the fourth season of the hit show, the opportunity to flaunt his lavish lifestyles turned into somewhat of a cautionary tale—in hindsight.

“Hell yeah, that one was real,” Nelly confirmed when asked if his episode of the show accurately reflected his home at the time. “I sold it. I had to get rid of it. It was the worst thing I did.”

Nelly explained that showcasing his home on national television made it a target for unwanted attention, leading to an incident that directly impacted his family. The house, located in a historic area in in his hometown, was built in a prime lakeside spot with no gated protection. This lack of security led to an alarming situation involving his mother.

“People were pulling their boats up to the dock—my mom was out by the pool,” he recalled. “Muthaf***as pulled a boat up on the dock. Walk up the dock. And y’all don’t know my mom, but my mom is off the chain. She started, ‘Yo, what the? Get your ass—’ you know what I’m saying?”

Nelly soon realized the house was no longer a safe place for him and his family, leading him to install gates and eventually sell the property. Looking back on the move, the “Grillz” rapper explained he was using the in-home studio for his artists at the time and had even invested sentimental value into the property before letting it go.

“I thought I was going to be there forever,” he admitted. “I never knew. I was like, ‘This is it. This is fly.
I’m going to be here forever’. No, I won’t be here another year.”

Now, with a new chapter in his life alongside his wife and mother of his child, R&B singer Ashanti, Nelly is considering a move out of California in search of a quieter, more spacious environment.

“We’re looking to probably move down to Tennessee or some s###,” he admitted. “No state tax. Love an old Nashville right about now. Somewhere quiet. Some acreage.”

While he appreciates Los Angeles, he finds the lack of privacy frustrating.

“You can’t p### off your balcony without hitting the neighbor,” he joked. “We’re on top of each other out here. It’s insane.”

As for other relocation options, Las Vegas is off the table for Nelly due to his gambling habits.

“I gamble too much. I’m not going to lie to you,” he admitted. “I think I’m a winner. I’m going to fight. To the end. To the very end.”

NLE Choppa Compares “Gay Baiting” Controversy To Michael Jackson & Prince Scandals

NLE Choppa believes his struggles with public perception and speculation about his sexuality connect his experience with fame as an entertainer to icons such as Michael Jackson and Prince.

On Tuesday (March 25), the Memphis rap star made the comparison during an appearance on The Breakfast Club while promoting his upcoming role in the film Black Heat starring Dream Doll, Jason Williams and more.

In the midst of discussing several topics, NLE Choppa and the hosts of the show got caught up keke’ing about the “S### Me Out” rapper’s appearance on Kai Cenat’s stream last year.

While Charlamagne Tha God was giving him a hard time about the viral moment, when he raps his vulgar “let me nut on your butt” lyrics while sitting next to Cenat, the conversation shifted to the “gay baiting” backlash NLE Choppa has been receiving for years now. He started off addressing the scrutiny he receives by explaining his belief that “the greats” always had something negatived pinned to them—often times by those who they effectively represent.

“Hey, you want to know something?” NLE Choppa questioned rhetorically. “What I realized was, like, with the greats, everybody thought it was something with them. They said Prince was gay. They said MJ [Michael Jackson] touched kids. Some people thought he was gay.”

NLE Choppa appeared to suggest the cause of the judgement against him is rooted in prejudice instilled in people, especially within the Black community, as a result of the damaging affects of slavery.

“Bruh, everybody that’s great, especially that’s of melanin color, we get crucified the most,” he said. “And it’s really by our own community a lot of times. It was like, we ain’t innocent until proven guilty no more. We guilty, for real. And that’s like something that’s been instilled in us since slavery, I guess.

Choppa continued, “It’s just like something that we ain’t really broke out of. Like, I feel like n##### would have been hating on me for s### back in the day if I got promoted to house n####. Like, how you mad at me? Because I’m finna be in the house chilling.”

NLE Choppa’s latest comments follow a scandal earlier this year which prompted him to speak out after being accused of pandering to the gay community. In a string of tweets, he offered his direct response to a user’s claims that he’s “gay baiting” due to a revealing photo circulating of him wearing designer underwear.

“Never been gay baiting,” NLE Choppa wrote flat out in the tweet. “It’s me showing freedom. Anything now a days is called gay or it’s baiting. In reality I’m comfortable enough, and have the upmost confidence in how good God designed me head to toe. Call me what you want but a straight man comfortable in my skin, I AM.”

Sauce Walka Suggests Weed Partially Responsible For Sayso P’s Death

Sauce Walka has revealed what he believes were the final moments that transpired before his collaborator and friend Sayso P was fatally shot in Memphis earlier this month.

On Tuesday (March 25), the Houston rapper shared a tribute post on Instagram featuring a lengthy caption dedicated to the deceased signee of his record label, The Sauce Factor (TSF), who was fatally shot on March 22. Sauce Walka also sustained shots to his leg.

While the video in the post showcased the bond he and Sayso P shared via a variety of images and positive memories, the caption of the post was far from joyful. According to Sauce Walka, Sayso P’s stubborn personality may have been his fatal flaw when it comes to how the situation transpired.

“Words or tears can’t explain the loss I feel!” Sauce Walka wrote in the post.

Sauce Walka detailed how multiple TSF members, including himself, attempted to sway Sayso P from smoking what would end up being his last blunt, solely for the purpose of moving safer rather than sorry.

“Splatt I wish your fat ahh listened to me and stayed in the room,” he said. “I told u we could smoke that blunt after security and the rest of our familia pull up.. SOSAMAN TOLD U F .. dat weed wait til we leave an hit superior first.. You always so hardheaded blood but u kno ima ride wit u regardless we come together we leave together.”

Sauce Walka also expressed his regret over the situation, seemingly placing part of the blame on himself because Sayso P could’ve been on vacation out of the country had he not agreed on the trip to Memphi, which was apparently years in the making.

“Wish u just went DR wit shimmy and shot off and skipped this trip to Memphis but u was to excited i finally agreed to come to da M..” he remarked. “Its been 4 years since @tsf1punch_10100 brought u to the familia did everythingi could to help u change ur lifestyle from miami to all 50 states we been mashing and splashing together.. I learned a lot from u young spilla and I thankful for all the loyalty and support city to city hood to hood wit them sticks RAP HUSTLING”

He added, “U left earth as a RICH YOUNG BOSS U left this earth happy an successful ima make sure the world knows that who u really are. But unfortunately most our kings and bosses are at war with each other. I hope one day we all STOP TAKING LIVES from our communities and actually start to enjoy and build better futures for our cultures. But the streets are the streets so ℹ accept what came with being your big brother. I love u Splatt #TSFMemphis #tsfbidnezz #TheBiggest #SplattMafia”

Sauce Walka’s tribute post arrives as new surveillance camera footage of the deadly shooting began circulating on social media. Memphis Police Department officials confirmed the shooting was not random.

“So we’re convinced that vehicle has fled the downtown area. Certainly want everybody to be on the lookout for this white vehicle. We put out a citywide broadcast on that vehicle,” MPD Assistant Chief Don Crowe told WREG. “Currently, we have detectives from the homicide unit. We have detectives from the CSI unit on the scene conducting the investigation. Hopefully, we’ll be able to develop suspect information real quickly.”

Vic Mensa Recalls Terrifying Mob Encounter That Ended His Drinking Days

Vic Mensa revealed an intense run-in with the Italian mob helped convince him to finally quit drinking during a candid social media post on Sunday (March 23).

The Chicago native recounted the chaotic evening, which began on his tour bus after he’d already consumed alcohol. Mensa said he arrived drunk at a friend’s DJ performance, only to find his friend caught up in a heated confrontation.

“I’m a nut, so I already had the bottle of Ace of Spades in my hand. Boom, I crashed his ass,” Vic recalled. “Immediately, this s### turned into a melee. I told you, I only got one friend in the building. Now this s### not going well. I’m getting punched up, down like a cartoon, fists in a cloud.”

The situation quickly escalated, leaving Mensa outnumbered.

“I’m getting wrestled by eight n##### at one time, no Diddy. Next thing I know, I, too, am getting choked out of the club. I’m dolo in the alley. I see a black Suburban truck. I’m thinking this s### a fairy tale. I’m thinking this m########### is sent by God to save me. This not my car at all. I try to open the door, the n#### locked the door on me,” Mensa said.

The rapper later revealed he had to fork out $10,000 to ensure his safety for his performance the following night.

He explained the incident was one of the key reasons he decided to quit alcohol altogether.
