Kylie Jenner Claims Blac Chyna Slashed Tyga With Knife

Kylie Jenner testified about Blac Chyna’s alleged violence in a civil trial involving the Kardashians.

According to TMZ, Kylie Jenner said Tyga once told her Blac Chyna attacked him with a knife. The slashing allegedly left Tyga with a six-inch scar on his arm.

Tyga also informed the socialite about Blac Chyna’s drug and alcohol abuse, which led to the knife attack. Kylie Jenner relayed the info to her brother Rob Kardashian when he was dating Blac Chyna.

“I felt it was my duty to express my concerns, but ultimately it was up to him,” she reportedly explained in court.

Blac Chyna is suing the Kardashians for $100 million over the cancellation of her reality show Rob & Chyna. The TV series aired for one season in 2016.

She’s accused Kris Jenner, Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian and Kylie Jenner of defamation, claiming they plotted to get her show canceled. The Kardashian family’s lawyer Michael G. Rhodes argued the E! Network simply canned the show because Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashians’ relationship ended.

Last week, Kris Jenner revealed Tyga’s allegations about Blac Chyna during her own testimony in the civil case. The matriarch of the Kardashian family also accused Blac Chyna of threatening to kill Kylie Jenner in the past.

Gucci Mane’s Career Origins To Be Explored In Sign Ya Self Documentary

Production has been completed on a new documentary about Gucci Mane and his old group S.Y.S.

Filmmakers announced a two-part documentary titled Southumentary, which looks back at the beginning of Gucci Mane’s career. The film utilizes two decades of never-before-seen footage to tell the story of S.Y.S. a.k.a. Sign Ya Self.

Producers describe Southumentary as “an intimate and revealing portrait of rap star Gucci Mane’s formative days with S.Y.S. and their quest for fame and fortune in the competitive music industry as they hustled in the rough streets of Eastside Atlanta, Georgia during the early 2000s.” Emmy-winning cinematographer Ben Mesker shot interviews for the documentary.

“This film contains the humble beginnings of one of the biggest entertainers in the world,” the documentary’s producer Raymond Forchion said in a press release. “We are excited to bring this entertaining and passionate piece of underground Hip Hop story with tons of unseen footage and unheard music to the world.”

Atlanta’s H.B. and Mojo formed Sign Ya Self Records in 2002. The S.Y.S. group included Gucci Mane, 4Tre, Bolo, Cold Blooded Da Don and honorary member South Boy, who directed the upcoming documentary.

Southumentary does not have a release date. A platform for the film hasn’t been determined.

Antonio Brown Drops New Hip-Hop Album “Paradigm” After Packed Listening Session At Lemonnade

Antonio Brown made a name for himself as a wide receiver in the NFL, and now he is bringing that same energy into music and cannabis. 

One day prior to every smoker’s favorite holiday, 4/20, AB took over Lemonnade Van Nuys to host an exclusive listening party for his debut album Paradigm and to celebrate the release of his new strain AB Biscotti (in partnership with JUUG).

Anyone who has been to Lemonnade knows this is not a regular dispensary. Created by hip-hop mogul Steve Lobel, the space serves as a one-stop-shop: a full-service dispensary, a hip-hop museum with endless memorabilia, a grow facility you can see threw the windows, and even a private studio for artists to record in privacy.

With DJ Carisma on the turntables, Antonio Brown drew an influx of fans who were able to get photos, bobbleheads, jerseys, football helmets, CDs, and pictures signed.

Steve Lobel said, “To have a football player that wasn’t scared to come to a dispensary, had his own strain and publicly publicized it and promoted it, was great. He’s gonna go back to the NFL, and he’s had a great career, he’s a great rapper. A lot of athletes try to rap, and they’re not great at rapping. Like Damian Lillard is a great athlete and a great rapper. AB had his album come out that day, we rushed to make CDs which was a great idea.”

He added, “It’s never been done before where someone has an album release and a strain drop on the same day at a dispensary, right?”

Celebrity activations are nothing new at Lemonnade Van Nuys, where everyone from Dave East, Benny The Butcher, Conway The Machine, Krayzie Bone, OhGeesy, and India Love hosted their events. 

6ix9ine Gives Away $20,000 To Family, Despite Telling A Judge He Is Still In A “Hole”

In an early morning act of kindness, rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine filmed himself giving away $20,00 to a Latino family selling flowers on the side of the road. 

The artist says he was going to waste the money the night before at the club, but while on his way to the airport decided to be a blessing.

He posted it on his social media to show the world his generosity. The video, posted on Sunday morning around 5:00 a.m., shows him on his way to catch his flight.

6ix9ine captions the Instagram post, “I was going to spend 20,000 last night in the club but I didn’t get to do so, but I spent it on something better LET’S GET BACK TO IT.”

“IF YOU KNOW ME, I BEEN DOING THIS AND ITS NEVER GONNA STOP,” he continued to write in all caps, sharing a glimpse into why he did what he did. “I WOKE UP TODAY FEELING GREAT. THE LITTLE THINGS IN LIFE MATTER MORE THEN EVER NOW.”

6ix9ine also shared that he tried “to give at least $50,000 away to someone random for people in need.”

https://www.instagram.com/p/CcvyxKXFrqM/

This money is believed to be real, unlike the $2 million he was flaunting on the ‘gram.

According to AllHipHop, the artist confessed in an interview, that money was fake. I ain’t got it right now,” 6ix9ine admitted during a recent interview. “That was prop money.”

6ix9ine even told a judge last week that he was still “digging his life” out of a hole due to outstanding lawsuits and possible restitution.

The recent good act comes a week after he went viral with an appearance on a podcast with Wack 100, DJ Akademiks, and Hassan Campbell.

Since then, AllHipHop.com reports that Campbell has accused the rainbow haired drama magnet of being an “alphabet boy” and that he is still gang-affiliated.

As reported by AllHipHop.com, 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, has been making noise lately, reviving a beef with rapper and reality star Benzino.

Over the weekend, he was put on blast by Ray Dog after he befriended Coy Lerai, the daughter of the Boston native. In a gang load of tweets, 

Benzino alleged the rapper was being sued for the BMF trademark, improperly used in concert with his hit STARZ series.

Regardless of what Benzino might assert, 50 continues to juggle it all— beef, bags, and now a big ole tour— with a smile. #ProvingHowQueensGetTheMoney

Mick Jagger Says Machine Gun Kelly Is Keeping Rock Alive

Mick Jagger has named Yungblud and Machine Gun Kelly as two new rockers keeping the genre alive.

In an interview with Swedish radio station P4, the Rolling Stones frontman said he had hope for contemporary rock as the two stars are breathing new life into the genre.

“In rock music you need energy, and there have not been a lot of new rock singers around. Now there are a few,” Mick Jagger explained. “You have Yungblud and Machine Gun Kelly. That kind of post-punk vibe makes me think there is still a bit of life in rock and roll.”

Mick Jagger also dismissed rumors that his forthcoming tour with the Rolling Stones would be his last.

“I am not planning it to be the last tour. I love being on tour. I don’t think I would do it if I did not enjoy it,” he said. “I enjoy going out there on stage and doing my stuff. That is what I do. I want everyone to enjoy themselves and forget the troubles in their lives for a couple of hours and just chill out and have a great afternoon and evening.”

The band’s Sixty tour is scheduled to take place in Europe across June and July.

Ice-T Calls Man Who Taunted Mike Tyson A “Clown Ass”

Ice-T has voiced support for Mike Tyson after the former professional boxer punched a fellow passenger on an airplane last week.

In video footage obtained by TMZ, Mike Tyson was seen leaning over the back of his seat and punching the man in a “flurry of blows” while waiting on a flight scheduled to depart from San Francisco International Airport to Florida.

Tyson’s representatives claimed the man, Melvin Townsend III, was acting “aggressive” towards him prior to the altercation, and last week.

Ice-T offered up his own take, calling Townsend a “clown ass” who “forgot he was NOT behind his keyboard” when he taunted Mike Tyson.

He complained, “The problem is nowadays, MFs think they WON’T get punched in the face…”

In a follow-up tweet, he continued, “If dumbfucks said the type of s### they say to me on HERE face to face… I know I’d be in prison.”

Representatives for the airline and the San Francisco Police Department have not yet commented on the incident.

Old Young Jack Harlow And Lil Kim “Picture” Trends Instantly

Jack Harlow is one of the biggest and brightest names in Hip-Hop. But it wasn’t always the case! At some point he was a young upstart and fan of the culture and then grew into it.

That said, a lot of people have some jokes for him today. Because of the Twitter algorithm, I thought it was something that was real. Because a picture with Lil Kim and a little boy is pretty cool, right? And then I saw the picture, in my periphery. And then, I paid attention.

After that I had to laugh!. Look at this picture!

At first glance it looks like it could be just a kid with Lil Kim as a youngster, but on further analysis it looks like a girl. The funny thing is, it could be Jack Harlow because most of us had goofy young pictures when we were kids. But that ain’t DJ Drama’s artist!

And then the comments come. And they are hilarious.

By the way, somewhere in life these other people, including the little girl with Kim, ARE REAL PEOPLE!

Regardless it doesn’t matter if it is or is not Jack Harlow, but it would be kind of funny if it was him.

Like they say: the Internet is undefeated!

Lil Jay Drops “Bars Of Clout 3” – Trends Instantly

Lil Jay just got out of jail a few days ago literally and he’s already shaking things up! Some of that is related to his shade of Lil Von and his denial of being gay (a rumor I did not bother to cover). But he’s back with the bars! Chiraq Wolverine drops “Bars of Clout 3,” which is in the lineage of his original one. The CloutLord is back! The game was meant to be shaken up!

 $windlaaa & Lit Yoshi Are In It For The “Money” In Latest Visual

Broward County artist $windlaaa returns to set the groove in his new single, “Money, featuring Baton Rouge native Lit Yoshi. 

Lit Yoshi loved the hook and jumped on the song immediately. Unfortunately, he was arrested the very next day and was unavailable to shoot the video. Nevertheless,
$windlaaa acknowledges Yoshi in the video with a set in orange jumpsuits and dancers repping Free Lit Yoshi T- Shirts.

“Money” is subtly melodic with a catchy dance hook. The ShotByJolo-directed video sees $windlaaa boogieing with dancers in the background. “Money” is the latest glimpse from $windlaaa’s upcoming project, “Late Night Thoughts” which features Trapland Pat and FL Dusa and more in addition to Lit Yoshi. 

In a recent phone call with Lit Yoshi, the rapper stated. “Thank you for the support. I am innocent, Tune into “Money,” and I’ll be coming home soon.”

DJ Akademiks Teases Reunion With Joe Budden

At one point, DJ Akademiks, Joe Budden, and Nadeska Alexis led the most-talked-about Hip Hop show on the planet. Clips from Everday Struggle – like infamous interviews with Vic Mensa and Migos – regularly went viral on social media.

Rapper-turned-podcaster Joe Budden left Everyday Struggle in 2017. Complex’s morning talk show then aired with other co-hosts, such as Wayno, sitting across from DJ Akademiks until the program came to an end in December 2021.

After some reshuffling of the co-hosts on his own self-titled podcast, Joe Budden continued to discuss Hip Hop culture on a bi-weekly schedule. In addition, Akademiks went on to launch the Off The Record podcast.

It appears former co-workers DJ Akademiks and Joe Budden recently got back together to create new content. On Sunday, Ak tweeted, “Reunited @JoeBudden 🥰🥰🥰. Tune into our both podcasts in the next week or so 🦂🦂🦂.”

A brief video snippet also accompanied Akademiks’s weekend Twitter post. The footage featured the online media personality and retired emcee Joe Budden talking face-to-face with several red cups placed on a table.

Both DJ Akademiks and Joe Budden have become somewhat controversial figures in contemporary Hip Hop. The two outspoken commentators’ respective hot takes about the culture are often met with passionate support and fervent opposition.

The Joe Budden Podcast launched in 2015 with Budden, Marisa Mendez, and Rory Farrell. Mendez left in 2016. Jamil “Mal” Clay later joined the show. Both Rory and Mal parted ways with JBP last year before being replaced by Ice and Ish.

DJ Akademiks’s Off The Record began streaming on Spotify in 2021. The digital series recently presented interviews with NLE Choppa, Nardo Wick, 2 Chainz, Roddy Ricch, Fivio Foreign, Flo Milli, Latto, 6ix9ine, Bobby Shmurda, and more.

Calboy Talks Clashing With Meek Mill Over “Chariot” Video

Calvin “Calboy” Woods has been very open about his contractual disputes with RCA Records and Polo Grounds Music. Apparently, the “Envy Me” rapper also had issues with Meek Mill’s Dream Chasers company.

During an interview with VladTV, Calboy discussed his managerial relationship with Meek Mill. The 23-year-old Chicago native offered his side of the story which included comments about his “Chariot” single featuring Meek Mill, Lil Durk, and Young Thug.

“I feel like the whole ‘Chariot’ video situation, all like, ‘We do this, we do that.’ Mind you, ‘Chariot’ is almost [my] second-biggest record after ‘Envy Me’ – debatable. But that’s one of them joints,” said Calboy.

He continued, “At that time, that was my momentum, that was my follow-up. And I appreciated Meek for that. I appreciated Thug. I just texted Thug like three days ago. I just chopped it up with Thug, and I just chopped it up with Durk. I appreciated all that.”

According to Calboy, “Chariot” did not receive the marketing push he expected. The Wildboy EP creator claimed Meek Mill was not on board with his portrayal in the song’s music video because it would supposedly tarnish the Philadelphia-raised rap star’s brand in some way.

“In the label’s view, it’s like, ‘Yo, your manager’s not gonna play? They’re slowing your momentum down?’ And they really stood on that, and I blamed [Meek Mill] for that. So I fired them,” recalled Calboy.

The 2020 XXL Freshman added, “I was like, ‘Let’s reshoot it, let’s do this, let’s do that.’ But it was always, ‘I’m busy. I’m gonna get up with it, I’m gonna figure it out.’ By that time, the momentum of that song was down, like it ain’t even gonna hit them with the bang no more.”

“Chariot” did manage to earn Gold certification from the RIAA in September 2020. Calboy’s breakout single “Envy Me” is currently certified 4x-Platinum. “Envy Me” climbed to #31 on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart. 2019’s Wildboy project peaked at #30 on the Billboard 200 and reached Gold status in April 2020.

Omeretta The Great Signs With 300 Entertainment’s Sparta Distribution

Earlier this year, Omeretta The Great went viral for her “Sorry Not Sorry” single. The Hip Hop newcomer later teamed up with fellow Georgia native Latto for a remix to the song.

With all the buzz surrounding “Sorry Not Sorry,” it comes as no surprise that companies wanted to ink deals with Omeretta. Sparta Distribution, the independent digital distribution arm of 300 Entertainment, signed the Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta alumna.

“The teams at Sparta Distribution and 300 Entertainment and, of course, Kevin Liles know the culture better than anybody,” says Omeretta The Great. “They are the perfect partners for me, and I’m excited to begin this next chapter together. I can’t wait for you to hear what we’ve got coming.”

“Sorry Not Sorry” and “Ba Ba” will serve as the lead singles for Omeretta The Great’s upcoming debut EP. That project will be released via TSO Music Group/Sparta Distribution.

“Sparta is extremely excited and incredibly proud to announce our debut signee, Atlanta’s own Omeretta The Great,” offers Amir Abbassy, Head of Sparta Distribution.

Abbassy adds, “Omeretta is bold, unapologetic, and immensely talented. Her quick-wit and entrepreneurial spirit make her the archetype for the artists Sparta was designed to champion.” 

Omeretta’s managers Max Gousse and Monica Payne of Artistry Group, state, “We felt Sparta was the best partner as they were aggressive about building on the recent momentum and believed in the vision.”

Raised in Atlanta’s Zone 3 District, Omeretta The Great began rapping as a pre-teen. She names Lil Wayne, Rihanna, and Rico Nasty as some of her musical influences. OTG previously released Black Magic: A Dose of Reality in 2016 and Welcome to the Jungle in 2019.

First Weeks Sales Projections For Pusha T’s ‘It’s Almost Dry’ Are In

Virginia-bred rapper Pusha T dropped off his fourth studio LP, It’s Almost Dry, on Friday, April 22. According to industry insiders, Pusha is on pace to possibly score his first #1 album on the Billboard 200 rankings

HitsDailyDouble projects It’s Almost Dry to collect 50,000-55,000 first-week units. That total could be enough to hold off Morgan Wallen’s Dangerous: The Double Album for the Billboard 200’s pole position.

If It’s Almost Dry is able to top the Billboard 200, the project would be Pusha T’s first Number One on that chart. My Name Is My Name peaked at #4 in 2013 with 74,000 copies sold in its opening week.

2015’s King Push – Darkest Before Dawn: The Prelude topped off at #20. The Grammy-nominated Daytona managed to give Pusha T his highest solo chart entry to date. Daytona debuted at #3 in 2018 with 77,000 units.

King Push – Darkest Before Dawn: The Prelude also spent one week at #1 on the Top Rap Albums chart. My Name Is My Name and Daytona only made it to #2 on that Billboard weekly tally. It’s Almost Dry will likely be the #1 rap album next week.

Pusha T promoted It’s Almost Dry to a mainstream audience. The G.O.O.D. Music/Def Jam recording artist performed on both CBS’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

It’s Almost Dry features guest appearances by Kanye West, Jay-Z, Pharrell Williams, Nigo, Malice, Lil Uzi Vert, Kid Cudi, Don Toliver, and Labrinth. Superproducers Pharrell Williams and Kanye West provided most of the album’s production.

Tyler, The Creator’s ‘Call Me If You Get Lost’ Returns To No. 1

Call Me If You Get Lost is once again the top-selling album in America by jumping from #120 to #1. Tyler, The Creator’s sixth studio LP originally led the Billboard 200 for one week in 2021.

The project climbed back to No. 1 this week. Call Me If You Get Lost collected an additional 59,000 units in the tracking period ending April 21. 51,000 units came from traditional album sales, mostly vinyl.

In fact, Call Me If You Get Lost‘s 49,500 vinyl sales are said to be the largest sales week for a Hip Hop vinyl album since Luminate (formerly MRC Data) began tracking music sales in 1991. This also marks the ninth-largest sales week for a vinyl album since that year.

Kid Cudi’s Man on the Moon III: The Chosen previously held the Hip Hop vinyl record. Last December, the 2020 release sold 41,500 vinyl copies in one week. Taylor Swift’s Red (Taylor’s Version) holds the all-time record with 114,000 vinyl units sold in November 2021.

Tyler, The Creator won his second Best Rap Album trophy at the 64th Annual Grammy Awards in April. The Odd Future founder previously took home the same honor for 2019’s IGOR. In addition to winning the Grammy, Call Me If You Get Lost is also certified Gold by the RIAA.

While Call Me If You Get Lost tops the latest Billboard 200, the most recent album rankings also feature other high-profile Hip Hop acts. Lil Durk’s 7220 slipped two spots to #3. Drake’s Certified Lover Boy remained at #6.

Doja Cat’s Planet Her continues to remain in the Billboard 200’s Top 10 region. That project climbed one spot to #7. Gunna’s DS4Ever went up three positions to #9. Lil Baby’s 2020 album, My Turn, rose three slots to #10.

Chopper From MTVs “Making The Band” Extradited To Vegas On Sex-Trafficking Charges 

Chopper, one of the former stars of MTV’s Making The Band was arrested in an undercover sex-trafficking sting and is now facing pimping charges.  

According to TMZ, Chopper is being extradited to Las Vegas to face sex trafficking charges after being arrested in Maryland earlier this month.  

Detectives from Nevada’s vice squad say Chopper’s social media displayed evidence of a potential sex-trafficking operation, prompting them to launch an investigation. Cops searched his Instagram account and found posts referring pimping and prostitution. They reference one image of Chopper on a plane with the caption “Sending em,” alongside a money bag and crown emoji. 

Cops Contacted Chopper On Instagram

They claim legal docs show he was busted after being contacted by an undercover vice detective who posed as a Sin City sex worker. The Nevada cop privately messaged the rapper on Instagram, offering him the chance to make some money through prostitution. 

The undercover cop states Chopper bragged to police during phone calls. He spoke of frequently traveling across the country, where he has seven homes, including one in Vegas. The former TV star also warned the detective that Sin City was no longer a safe place to operate due to law enforcement crackdowns.  

Nonetheless, the cops claim after passing a phone interview Chopper told them he would bring them on his “team” and make them part of his “stable.” 

They claim Chopper then switched his attitude, becoming aggressive during phone conversations. He began to boss them about, directing them to pack and fly to Charlotte, N.C. to join his “stable.” 

However, cops say they stalled Chopper telling him they were scared to leave, but he got angry. After attempting to force them to meet him, he demanded a $2,000 fee. 

Nevada police claim to have enough evidence to arrest and charge Chopper with felony sex trafficking. 

This story is developing.  

Benzino Claims 50 Cent Being Sued Over “BMF” Trademark & Blasts Him For Using Coi Leray Against Him In Their “War” 

Benzino blasted 50 Cent in a Twitter rant at the weekend, accusing the rapper of trying to lure his daughter away from him with the promise of a role on one of his shows. He also claimed that the G Unit boss is being sued for using the BMF trademark without consent. 

Last week, 50 Cent inserted himself into the controversy surrounding Benzino’s alleged relationship with transgender actress Shauna Brooks. The former The Source boss denies ever having any relationship with Brooks and ultimately threatened violence in a Twitter tirade.  

50 Cent Wants To Make Coi Leray A TV Star

Now, 50 Cent is attempting to capitalize on Benzino’s strained relationship with his daughter Coi Leray. “Now would be a good time to stop hating on @coileray, Fiddy penned on Instagram. “I’m gonna make her show up on your Tv😆🛑STOP worrying about a first week WORK. GLG🚦GreenLightGang #bransoncognac #lecheminduroi” 

https://www.instagram.com/p/CctpshjuH6A/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Meanwhile, Benzino – who recently gave 50 Cent the moniker “59” labeling him “the first Hip Hop rat,” in reference to notorious snitch 6ix9ine – claimed that 50 Cent is being sued. 

Benzino Claims 50 is Hiding A Lawsuit

“Hey RATMAN aka 59,” he wrote in response to Fiddy’s post. “I appreciate u putting my Coi on but does she know you and STARS ain’t been seeing eye to eye lately. Well I just got my hands on a federal lawsuit saying that the “BMF” trademark isn’t yours & knew about it & never told Meech or STARS. Big mistake you dummy.” 

Furthermore, Benzino alleged that 50 Cent kept the suit secret and threatened to release the entire lawsuit.  

He continued, “You crossed a line with my kid but that’s ok, she’ll have to live with the decision she made to go against her father to deal with the opps.” He added that his daughter’s obvious “disloyalty” will lead to “her downfall.”  

Benzino also asserted that “I never ever hated on my own daughter,” claiming it was in fact the reverse. He says Coi “dissed me in a song, calls me broke in every interview I’ve done, all I’ve done was correct the lies on me. Y’all can run with that bs narrative, idgaf, I’ve never tried to play with someone’s kid like he did.” 

However, Benzino declared they are “at war,” and he’s not going to tolerate 50’s attempts to turn his daughter against him. However, he then took aim at Coi LeRay’s fans for not supporting her and accused them of jealousy.  

“What really gets me is ALL this love and support for Coi but none of y’all bought the album,” he ranted. “Y’all are fake asf, all this “I love her” “she’s grown on me” “I wanna see her win” is all BS! All y’all wanna do is comment for likes and attention. GO BUY HER ALBUM! You f##### weirdos.”

DaBaby Calls Out “Somebody Behind The Scenes” Amid Newly Resurfaced Video Of 2018 Walmart Shooting

DaBaby has broken his silence after a turbulent weekend which began with him getting into a fight with his own artist and ended with a newly resurfaced video from the 2018 altercation, which resulted in DaBaby fatally shooting 19-year-old Jaylin Craig at a Charlotte-area Walmart.  

According to the rapper’s initial response, he’s protected by a higher power. “The n##### preying on me can’t f### wit the people praying for me! 🖤💪🏾” DaBaby penned on Twitter

Over the weekend, a video emerged of DaBaby throwing a punch at his artist Wisdom while backstage at a South Carolina concert on Friday, Apr. 22.  

https://twitter.com/NoPauseTv_/status/1517769714482692096?s=20&t=hrWa0encKJN1jLqj72HTXA

Then, on Sunday, a video obtained by Rolling Stone caused further issues for the controversial rapper. They released previously unseen surveillance video leading up to the moment DaBaby shot and killed the teen in 2018. The clip apparently contradicts his account of events leading up to the shooting.  

DaBaby Responds

The “Suge” hitmaker took to Instagram late on Sunday night (Apr. 24), sharing a viral meme of a down-trodden and emotional Tyrese. “No disrespect to my boy Tyrese man😂 but what y’all n##### got goin on bruh??” DaBaby questioned. “#WhatMoreDoYouWANTfromMEEEEE ?,” he added before hinting that he has hidden enemies. “Somebody behind the scenes on my ass ain’t it ? 👀😳🔦” he said. 

However, DaBaby still had more to say and also shared the meme on his Instagram Stories. “Like damn bruh,” he began. “N##### done took 30 million from me, lie on me once a week, want my fine ass BM’s to hate me, want me to lose fights I don’t start, WHAT MORE DO U WANT FROM MEEE?”  

Meanwhile, it appears DaBaby is working on using adversity to his advantage. He also shared an inspirational quote with the message “Just chill,” on his IG Stories. 

“Don’t fight stress. Embrace it. Turn it on itself. Use it to make yourself sharper and more alert. Use it to make you think and learn and get better and smarter and more effective.” 

Newly Released Video Challenges DaBaby’s Self-Defense Claim In 2018 Walmart Killing  

DaBaby claimed he feared for his life and acted in self-defense when he shot and killed Jaylin Craig at a Charlotte-area Walmart in November 2018. However, this appears to be called into question in a newly obtained video by Rolling Stone.  

DaBaby said he was scared for his family’s safety when he and his then-girlfriend Mariah Osborne and two children were shopping at Walmart when they were approached by 19-year-old Craig and another teen while shopping at Walmart. They allegedly threatened him and Craig drew a gun. The rapper says he then reached for his own fireman and fired to protect his family.  

New Surveillance Footage  

But a new report from Rolling Stone appears to challenge Jonathan “DaDaby” Kirk’s self-defense claim. The outlet obtained a video that gives the impression that DaBaby was the initial aggressor. He reportedly throws the first punch at Craig’s friend Henry Douglas hitting him in the face. Douglas was left with a bruised eye socket and a cut on the forehead that required stitches. Watch the video below.

A post shared by AllHipHop (@allhiphopcom)

Craig’s mother, LaWanda Horsley feels like those investigating her son’s death “just swept it up under the rug. [Kirk] knows what he did. I’m not doing this for no fame or anything, because at the end of the day, Jaylin Craig is gone.”  

Craig’s family members and his best friend, Henry Douglas allege DaBaby became annoyed after they recognized the star out shopping. They doubted he would be shopping at Walmart and circled back a few times to make sure it was him. DaBaby became agitated by this and demanded they go outside to fight him.  

“That’s what eventually started it; when he took it the wrong way,” Douglas says. “We were trying to see who you are, and he took it as somebody is looking at him with a problem.” 

The newly obtained footage appears to show DaBaby punch Douglas, kicking off the altercation. At one point, Craig appears to draw a gun from his waistband before returning it as he walks out of view of the camera. Later on in the footage, DaBaby pulls out a Glock and fires it at Craig, mortally wounding him. While it was later determined Craig had a gun on him, it’s inconclusive if he brandished the weapon at DaBaby. The altercation lasted less than a minute, and Craig died at the scene.  

DaBaby Claims Curtis Was Trying To Shoot Him 

While Douglas asserts that he never saw his friend draw a weapon, DaBaby and Mariah Osborne say he pulled one out while the rapper was tussling with Douglas. “He’s like trying to get around his homeboy and shoot me,” DaBaby told cops. “When I break loose and get free with [my] gun … his homeboy is right here, and I shoot, boom, boom, boom.” 

After viewing the security footage, Jaylin Craig’s family has serious questions about how cops handled the investigation. They hope sharing their story will lead to a homicide charge for DaBaby. 

“Show me my son was wrong; tell me that,” Horsley says. “I could take that, and I will be at peace, because I would have to accept the fact that my son done something that he shouldn’t have done.” 

Jaylin’s father, Curtis questioned how DaBaby keeps “getting away with it” after numerous apparent assaults. “In my eyes, I feel like [Jaylin] was murdered,” Curtis said. “And [Kirk] got away with it. Everything he [does] is pretty much the same thing. He’s assaulting people, he’s getting away with it. Every case that you look at, they’re dismissing it. Why is he getting off?” 

THE UPDATE: China Mac And AD Shot The Fade!

UPDATE: THEY SHOT THE FADE!

Man to man. AD and China Mac duked it out over the misunderstanding over a YouTube Cooking show. I respect it. Nobody got shot or killed. And they walked away as men, with understanding. I will leave it up to y’all to speculate who “won.” Check out the video below.

PREVIOUS REPORT:

China Mac is known to be a hardcore rapper from the mean streets of NYC, but he has changed course in his career. But old habits are hard to break. He wants to beat up Gangsta AD. I think this is the first time that a rap beef has broken out over a cooking show. That’s right. A cooking show.

China Mac had/has a cooking show. And he claims that a fella named AD stole his cooking ID. So, now he wants to beat that a$$ man to man. I do not know much about AD, but he is on the show No Jumper. I guess he is gang related too.

So, here is the show and this particular episode features CRIP MAC! Mac to Mac with Soul Food!

On Hood!

Anyway that was back in August 2021. Real entertaining content.

Here’s China Mac’s most recent vid inviting him to the fade.

And here is the summary vid with ADs point of view and others.

I see China Mac going all out with this, but he should move strategic too. I hope this does not devolve into anything gang related. “Fair ones” don’t really exist.
