50 Cent and Teairra Mari have been in and out of the courtroom for years after she sued him for sharing an explicit image of her on social media.
A judge sided with the rapper awarding him $30,000 to cover attorney fees in 2019. However, the debt eventually increased to $50,000 because Teairra Mari repeatedly refused to honor the judgment.
Teairra Mari has to pay 50 Cent $50,000 after losing the revenge p### lawsuit she filed against him. Earlier this year, Fiddy asked the court to hold her in contempt after not receiving a penny three years from her three years after the initial judgment.
“[Mari] has been the subject of repeated sanctions by this Court but has been seemingly unswayed by such actions and has not paid any money towards the Judgment or sanctions against her, making the increased penalties associated with a finding of contempt necessary,” lawyers for the G-Unit boss said in a recent filing.
According to Teairra Mari, she can’t appear in court on April 20 in Los Angeles like 50 Cent wants as she lives in Georgia. Nonetheless, she claims to be willing to “engage in efforts to satisfy the debts at issue.” She will also “participate in the discovery process moving forward.”
While 50 Cent is yet to comment, he is unlikely to be pleased by more delays.
Meanwhile, the TV mogul continued to call out Starz this week. 50 Cent is unhappy that the network allowed a 6-month break in airing his shows. Sharing a clip of Starz CEO Jeff Hirsch, he wrote:
“👀he said scheduling for retention is most important thing,” Fif penned on Instagram. “Then ignores production time lines till we have a 6 month gap what a genius. This boat 🛳got a hole in it, FORCE last episode next week. #bransoncognac #lecheminduroi”
Kodak Black is shooting his shot at Jada Pinkett Smith but needs her to fix her “out of pocket” ways before he can entertain her.
The “Super Gremlin” rapper hopped on Instagram Live this weekend to share his thoughts on Will Smith’s marriage to Jada. The outspoken artist did not hold back, also addressing her relationship with Tupac and had some harsh words for Willow Smith.
“Jada Pinkett, baby, you was out of pocket. You out of pocket for that s###,” Kodak began. He then told Jada she needs a slice of Kodak Black. “Come f**k with me. That’s what you need to do ’cause that s### you doing, that s### you doing ain’t real, bro.”
As for Will Smith, Kodak Black says Jada doesn’t deserve him. “You got a ni**a who love you, all kinds of s###,” he said. “Come f**k with Kodak. That’s what you need ’cause you just on some b#######. You don’t deserve Will Smith. You deserve Yak.” He added,”You deserve me.”

Kodak’s “out of pocket” remarks come in response to resurfaced clips of the couple which went viral recently. In one, Jada admitted to crying before she married the Philadelphia native. In another, Will accuses Jada of using him for social media when she films him without permission while promoting her Red Table Talks show.
Kodak Black Says “Tupac Wasn’t All The Way Gangsta”
Meanwhile, Kodak Black also had something to say about Jada’s relationship with Pac. “Tupac wasn’t all the way cut, wasn’t all the way gangsta his whole life. The boy went to acting school, all kind of s###, dancing,” he said. “Stop playing Will Smith like that, bro. Will Smith a stand-up ni**a, a stand-up man with integrity.”
Kodak Black defended Will Smith once again, who he says needs a “young tenderoni.” “Go get you some s### about 18 years old, get you some s### about 22,” he said.
He also had some words about 21-year-old Willow Smith’s loyalty, calling her out of her name. “Go ‘head get you a whole ‘nother daughter, one who gon’ praise you, gon’ cherish you. B####, you supposed to be my daughter, daddy’s girl,” Kodak Black ranted.
Nicki Minaj and Fivio Foreign surprised fans, dropping the collaborative effort “We Go Up,” last week. Nicki gave Fivio his flowers, highlighting his originality and applauding him for a stellar debut.
“This fivio foreign album rlly hittin the mthafkn spot,” Nicki wrote. “Sooooo SOLID. Sonically authentic & well thought out. Cohesive body of work with a signature sound that is very true to where he’s from.” She also gave a shout-out to Kayccy, Chloe, and Coi LeRay. “Kayccy is [flame emoji] on both of his songs. chloe bodied her verse. Loved coi too @fivioforeign_8fs,” she added.
Fivio Foreign, who said all the love and support for B.I.B.LE. made him “wanna buss a gangsta tear,” appreciated the co-sign. “Nicci said my Album fire 🔥🔥🔥,” he tweeted. “That’s tuff 🔥🔥🔥”
He also gave himself props for the success of his first full-length offering. “5 Billboards in Times Square, Top 5 songs in NY on Apple at once, & articles in both Daily News & NY Times.. Don’t ever let that n#### say he the King Of this city 🗽,” wrote Favio.
5 Billboards in Times Square, Top 5 songs in NY on Apple at once, & articles in both Daily News & NY Times.. Don’t ever let that n#### say he the King Of this city 🗽
Meanwhile, Fivio Foreign revealed that he almost missed out on a Destiny’s Child sample and had to switch up his lyrics to appease Queen Bey.
Fivio Foreign Had To “Clean Up” His Lyrics For Beyoncé
During a recent Hot 97 interview, he explained that he had to “clean up” the lyrics if he wanted to clear the sample for “What’s My Name” featuring Coi Leray and Queen Naija.
“Shout out to Destiny’s Child, I appreciate that. They cleared that joint. She [Beyonce] had to hear it. She heard it,” he said before admitting he had to make some changes. “It was a little vulgar a little bit for her, at first. I cleaned it up a lot! It was like ‘nah, you can’t be talking about girls like that.”
Tory Lanez was freed from court earlier this week after stumping up a $350,000 bond when a judge found him guilty of violating a protective order in his case against Megan Thee Stallion. He was ordered not to talk about the court case but did so anyway.
“I was at a high in my career, you think I’d come out here and [shoot a b####?]
And if you think I’d do that s###, you on some stupid sshit
I don’t need to do that s###, my Haitian hoes gon’ woo a b####
I can’t let temporary b#### came out and ruined s###
They can’t beliеve I’m back poppin’, I’m out here doin’ s###
Hеy, Tory, stop talking ’bout it, I wish I could but dawg
I’m only human, sometimes that s### be gettin’ to me, yeah
Not one of them n##### that be fakin’ what he feeling, I’m gon’ talk about it.”
Tory Lanez took to Twitter on Sunday (Apr. 10) with a defiant message for anyone concerned with his lyrics.
“I’ll say whatever the f### I like to …. And feel no way about it,” he began. “We get so scared of how people take our opinions on these apps that we forget our own freedom to the thoughts we think . Have your freedom of speech unapologetically.”
Tory added, “Be true to yourself ….. cuz anything otherwise isn’t real or comfortable.”
He also addresses his beef with Meek Mill Kehlani on the track.
“Meek Mill, he used to be my dawg, he did some flaw s### to me
And when I brought it up, lil’ cuh wouldn’t even talk about it
Ain’t beefin’ with you cuh, I swear I’m more hurt than anything
I’m at this point in life where I don’t stress the petty thing
Sometimes I think ’bout Kehlani and how we ended things
When I express myself I know that I can choose my words lil’ better.”
After a rather dramatic week, rap star Tory Lanez is focused on building his business empire.
Tory just announced he is a partner in a brand new app called Puppy Mate.
According to the company’s documentation, the app is designed to connect dog owners who are located near each other and helps pair them with the perfect mating partner for their pooch.
The app also facilitates the purchase or sale of puppies near a user. Or, you can simply find a new best friend for your dog.
Tory Lanez said he is a dog lover, so when his partner Caron Henson presented him with the idea for Puppy Mate, he knew the app and the black-owned business was a natural fit in his portfolio.
“Okay, I know you are wondering why is this man in a suit and why is he at his dog park? Those two things do not correlate. They did not correlate until this day, right here,” Tory Lanez said. “We have just invented what is the greatest app, the biggest app, and the first-ever app for dog lovers, the dog community, and connecting dog people all around the world.”
I want you to imagine Tinder, Uber, Postmates all in one to create Puppy Mate. This app was made to give jobs out to many people who love dogs all over the world,” Tory Lanez explained. “You need a sitter? Swipe on the app. You need a dog playmate? Swipe on the app. You need a dog for your dog to breed with? Swipe the app. Puppy Mate [is] the best app for dogs in the world and the first-ever app for dog lovers worldwide.”
Tyrese Gibson was amazed by the levels of secrecy surrounding the plot for “Morbius.”
The star plays Simon Stroud, an FBI agent hunting for Dr. Michael Morbius (Jared Leto) in the new superhero film, featuring Matt Smith, Adria Arjona, and Jared Harris.
Reflecting on the importance of keeping the storyline under wraps in an interview, Tyrese revealed that he had to sign “15 pages” of non-disclosure agreements and undergo strict media training.
“We could not talk about anything. So, let me just give you a sense of my media training around the confidentiality around ‘Morbius.’ Now, keep in mind. I was not allowed to be on set on the days that I wasn’t filming. We could not see anything. (They) trained me to deflect it and disown it and just get away from the questions. The lockdown levels was real. I was like, ‘Yo, man, this Marvel comics thing is serious.'”
Despite the intense process, Tyrese confessed that he “slipped up” on one occasion and made an effort to apologize to the producers.
But in a way, having to abide by such measures made viewing the final product even more exciting.
“When I watched the movie last night, I’m sitting there like, ‘H########. Look at this movie,'” the 43-year-old added.
Melii is a whole vibe, and she deserves all the blessings coming her way. Hailing from Harlem, Melii is the definition of a versatile recording artist, someone who can move mountains with her vocals and at the same time rap on par with all your favorite MCs. And let’s not forget her ability to create lyrics in Spanish… and the fact that she looks damn good while doing it!
Exploding onto the scene with her breakout single “Icey” in 2018, which even had Beyonce playing it in one of her Ivy Park campaigns, Melii has since exploded into the limelight, proving she has what it takes to be one of the greats. Beyond the music, it’s her individuality, personality and vulnerability that fans can’t help but fall in love with.
Now under Tory Lanez’ One Umbrella Records, Melii returns with her newest single and visual for “Cartier.” This follows her previous releases, “Hey Stranger” and “Would You Let Me Go?”
Regardless of what’s happening, Melii always keeps it real, touching on everyday things we go through from relationships to mental health.
AllHipHop: You dropped the 2-song EP, Winter In New York City. Is that the New York chapter closing?
Melii: Mmm, yeah. That was my sad girl winter type of thing, and now we back to savage mode.
AllHipHop: How does it feel to be able to put out the music you want to put out?
Melii: I feel great. I never wanted to be boxed in. Being that I could release the slow stuff, to me it’s a relief type of thing. I don’t want to be put in a box. “Oh, she only raps.” People will see me and think, “oh, she’s a rapper, she’s a rapper, she’s a rapper.” [snaps] Once I started putting out more of the singing stuff, I got more of an embrace. “Oh, she sings.” But then people started saying, “oh, she’s just a singer.” It’s like dang. But right now, I just want to be seen as an artist. I want to go into rock and roll if I want to. I want to be able to do whatever I want and not be so boxed in.
AllHipHop: Who are these songs about?
Melii: It wasn’t just one person, it’s a multiple thing. I always try when I make songs like that, I take into consideration the people that’s gonna hear it, which are my supporters. My DMs are poppin’ because of them too. They tell me: “yo, we need that thing. We need that boss, F that. Let me boss up.” You know?
AllHipHop: Shout out to the Melii Mob!
Melii: I always make sure with my music, to go from yeah you got hurt or whatever feeling you’re feeling, embrace it and then boss up. That’s always my go-to. I know the power of music, and I know how it’s going to affect the people that’s listening.
AllHipHop: What were you going through creating “Hey Stranger”?
Melii: With “Hey Stranger,” it was basically talking to a person that you know so well, and they just become a stranger. The second verse: “I’ve been blessing souls since ’97,” because that’s when I was born. “Always been a prize, don’t get gassed up like you chose me ’cause I’ve been blessing souls since ’97. Anything I touch is turning into gold, like I was sent from heaven.” If anybody’s singing that, I want you to feel that. You’re the blessing. You’re the mmm to the mmph.
AllHipHop: Talk about getting Michael Rainey Jr. from POWER Book II: Ghost in your video.
Melii: To be honest, it was last minute. Shout out to Tory Lanez, he’s the one that got him to be part of the video.
AllHipHop: That was his idea?
Melii: Mmhmm. We didn’t even meet. I saw him the night before, then they’re like, “he’s gonna do the video.” Aye, it’s lit. When I finally did get to meet him, he was sweet. He’s a sweetheart. He’s very down-to-earth. We were laughing the whole time, literally. We couldn’t even take it serious. Appreciate him, shout out to you!
AllHipHop: Do you watch Power Book II: Ghost?
Melii: No I don’t. Not going to hold you, I really feel like my attention span to anything: I can’t sit still. I be watching little clips. With any show — you see how I knew about the Rams? I go on like alright, where’s the little clips. Where’s the videos? That’s how I be keeping up.
AllHipHop: That means you don’t really watch TV?
Melii: No, I don’t. First of all, I lost my glasses for a year or so. I knew where they were, so I kept saying, “I’m a go get them.” After that, I never went to go get them, so my eyesight was messed up. Anytime I’m doing any type of bonding is with my best friend, I’ll say “yo, put the Netflix on.” If she don’t get the controller, I won’t get the controller. It’s over for TV. I can’t see. I be [squinting] the whole time. I cannot see.
AllHipHop: Do you drive?
Melii: No, but I’m thinking of getting the laser. I’m just scared because of the Final Destination movies. They be putting so much fear into you. I want to do it though, because my eyesight is s###. That plays a lot also in my face. People be like “why she look like that?” I can’t see! That’s why I look like that, for real. I’ll be staring and you think I’m staring at you, but really everything’s just blurry.
AllHipHop: A huge part of this show is mental health, how are you doing?
Melii: I’m doing great, because I’m learning the power of the tongue. During the pandemic, I dove into myself. I started to pour into myself and open all the doors that I have closed on myself and also things I wasn’t ready to face. I did a lot of self-reflecting and because of it, I got to take out the old and bring in space for the new. I really did it for myself, which is what I needed to tap in. Doing things to myself, paying attention to things for me this time. It was really an ascension for me. I went through a spiritual journey. I’ve been learning the power of the tongue, the power of the people you keep around, the energy and what you allow. That’s where I’m at. I say great because I’m in front of you. I love your energy, I love being around you so I always feel great around you. I have my downs and my ups, but this time I’m keeping it more level than letting the down get me down down.
AllHipHop: Research finds musicians are 3x more likely to experience anxiety or depression than the general public.
Melii: I believe that. It’s because our minds are running wild. [snaps] We’re thinking about things differently. Aside from artists, just being around so many different things, it’s a little bit overwhelming.
AllHipHop: You were diagnosed with depression, PTSD, anxiety. When did that start?
Melii: Honestly, I don’t even know. I know it was depression, anxiety, PTSD. But like I said, that power of the tongue has no control over me. I feel it sometimes, but either I’m a pray or I’m a count slowly and try to get myself together. The more we allow that to control us, the less time we have to experience life itself.
AllHipHop: You went through wild s###!
Melii: I had to accept that. A lot of times, I felt I didn’t deserve to be happy.
AllHipHop: I think the Melii Mob appreciates your vulnerability the most.
Melii: I make sure to always do that. Regardless if I feel I’m normal or I have my highs and my lows, I’m still someone that the Melii Mob does reach out to. I always have my messages open. If I see a paragraph or anything that’s alarming, I make sure to reach out. Sometimes, not everybody has that person at home. Being that I understand that now, I’m more open. I can’t be ashamed of what God allowed me to be in the open about. I have to embrace everything that’s coming, try to find common ground where I can also spread hope. Not be like “oh well, I look on to Melii and Melii’s drowning in her own things.” I have my days, but I’m gonna keep pushing.
AllHipHop: That’s also a lot of pressure too.
Melii: It is a lot of pressure, but when you take it as I’m doing it for myself, then it naturally spreads out to whoever else. A lot of times, you have to think about the people around you. My team, my best friend. I had to really think about “I want to do this for myself, but also I deserve to bring light into other people around me and they’re gonna be around me for this long.”
AllHipHop: Speaking of best friend, when did y’all meet?
Melii: My best friend, we met in high school when I was 15.
AllHipHop: How does it feel to be here and sharing this journey?
Melii: I love her. My best friend, she’s amazing. She’s really amazing. The crazy thing when I met my best friend, I had gotten transferred from another school because me and my other best friend were too close and we kept getting into trouble. My mom’s like “let me take her out of this school,” and she put me all the way in the Heights. So I went from going to school in Harlem to going to school in the Heights.
When I met my other best friend now, her name is Ruth by the way, shout out to you. She’s always with me. This time, she’s home. When I met her, she’s like “you’re new to the school,” da-da-da. I was so closed off, I was like “you’re my acquaintance.” She broke those walls and we became real ride or die. Literally, we were sharing little $1 fries from the Chinese spots with the BBQ sauce. We’d go all the time. She’s really my rock. That’s really my ride or die.
AllHipHop: What do you do for self-care?
Melii: First of all, you gotta look good to feel good. Yes, there’s times where I don’t want to do nothing. Alright, what makes me feel good? My hair? Okay. As you can see I’m always dying my hair. It’s not like a crazy thing, more so I like to feel brand new. I like to feel like “yes!” Other than that, a little blunt. Put my little music on. Sometimes I put on gospel, I love listening to gospel. Be with my best friend, that’s my self-care. Put the phone down, don’t listen to nobody and just chill out.
AllHipHop: I didn’t know “Icey” was featured in Beyonce’s Ivy Park winter campaign. That’s incredible!
Melii: That was crazy. When I first heard it, I didn’t really pay too much attention to it because Beyonce, y’all playing. She didn’t really play it. After I saw it, I was in the living room in Miami. I was with my stylist, my best friend. Yo, it’s really there! When I heard the beat and seen Beyonce, “aye yo, that’s me! That’s Beyonce!” I couldn’t contain myself. I love her and I’m so thankful for that. Every time, these blessings really open up doors for me. On top of that, it reminds me girl, do you know who you are? Period.
AllHipHop: What about Kylie Jenner posted you?
Melii: Listen! Yes. Kylie, then Riri, then Beyonce. Please! Every time I get that support, girl. What are you doing? Hurry up. [snaps] But not everything’s so easy. Some of the things weren’t up to me, but now I’m on it.
AllHipHop: How’d you feel when people said you were pregnant?
Melii: First of all, I want to talk about. ‘Cause why not? Women in this industry… f### the Photoshop bro! The Photoshop needs to stop because it’s giving off not realistic. I naturally have this little pouch right here. If you go through my pictures, that’s what I did. I posted from 2015 and if you go all the way down, I have a little white skirt. I have the same little pouch. The white dress, all of that. Sometimes you won’t see it, it’s ’cause I can hold this in and talk. I can go through the whole day like that.
But if I want to relax, that’s coming out. If I want to be like this all day and talk, it’s gonna be like that. That’s things that as women, I don’t think we’re so vocal about it. I know women know that, we be sucking it in or you’ll see this in pictures. Other than that, that’s me! Even before that, I went on Twitter and said “and I’m not sucking it in!” Then I deleted it. But when I deleted it, that whole thing blew up. Plus for the record, I would not announce a pregnancy on Instagram. I’m extra as hell. I’d do a whole video, more extra than Kylie.
AllHipHop: Would you hide yourself for 9 months?
Melii: I don’t think I could hide myself for that long, ’cause I’m gonna wanna pop out. I’m a wanna get jiggy with my belly. I don’t want to hide such a beautiful thing. I’d never announce something so beautiful in that way, that was so left field for me. I hit them up myself like “yo, I just dropped music.” The bad and good is always good publicity like they say, but not this right here. I need some help, promote my music. Winter In New York City just dropped, do that for me. Not no pregnancy. When it’s a pregnancy, I’m a come correct. I’ll be stylin’.
AllHipHop: Someone had the audacity to write that, what’s wrong with people?
Melii: To be honest, I don’t even feel no type of way. Being in this s###, you always gonna have to deal with weird s###. It was so left field, I was literally about to catch a whole flight before all of that. What are y’all talking’ about? Pregnant, what? And TMZ is confirming. No, none of that. Literally, if people wanna go and observe my stomach, they can see there’s always gonna be that little thing right there. That’s me.
My mom’s like, “what I told you? I told you to work it out and do crunches.” F### doing crunches! Girl, I don’t need to work it out. She’s like, “Don’t worry about it, it don’t matter.” ‘Cause when I get thicker, you gonna see it more. When I’m skinny, I look like the thing in Men In Black. The Men In Black joints. But when I’m thick, you gon’ see that belly.
AllHipHop: How was it signing to Tory Lanez?
Melii: He’s a great person. He’s a very great person. He’s very intune with himself. He’s confident and he makes sure that all his artists feel that way, they’re supported. He’s a God-fearing man, which is the best part about it. You’ll see him pray over us, he’s always looking out.
AllHipHop: How did he reach out?
Melii: When I was with Interscope, I had a song on Phases called “Slow For Me.” He’s on that song, that’s how we met. Originally, I always loved his music. Other than that, he’s always brung it up, but I ended up going to Meek instead of Tory. But my label thought it was better to go with Meek. I don’t want to get too into that but after that, it all worked out.
AllHipHop: You tweeted you wanted to quit music. What exactly happened with the label?
Melii: Not even censoring it: the kind of artist I am needs a real structure to it and knowing what to do. Aside from that, there were a lot of things that I carried on from the past that came along with me. Managers or people being like, “well she has it, so let’s do this.” I got to a point where last year, I said “I quit music! This industry, f### this.”
AllHipHop: I remember hitting you saying you can’t, you’re too hard!
Melii: You did. But with that, I was really serious. I couldn’t either way. I couldn’t release music and I had to grow out of that, but I always want to be in control of it. I tried to be in control of the situation and say “well I’m the one quitting, it’s not you that’s not letting me.” The reality is what else I’m a do? I love music! I had to take that power back. I thought I had the power over it by saying “f### this, now nobody’s doing s###.” But nah, I need my power back. And my power back was to come back even stronger.
AllHipHop: Did you get out of that deal?
Melii: It’s a lot going on. It’s a lot going on, but I’m in control of my own life right now. So the less I feel like I’m a little in a little bird cage and I mentally get out of that in my head, that’s where I’m at with it.
AllHipHop: A lot of artists want that major deal. What advice do you have?
Melii: One thing for sure that artists leave out is that these people and these labels, even though the contracts can be set up a certain way, they do help you. They do. Even when you make connections with the people there, they do help you and that was my situation too. I could never complain and say I was treated unfairly. My label looked out, but would I have signed now? No. But I was Melii from the projects, didn’t know much. That was an opportunity. That was still a blessing in itself and it played its part when it needed to play its part. That’s a lot of downplaying with that.
What I will say: get an actual lawyer that’s not from the label or from people around. Sit down and think about it. Don’t rush in just because of the money, and always weigh your options. Because now, distribution deals is a thing. Before, it wasn’t too much of a thing. Always look for an alternative, look for what’s best for you. Sometimes, taking a deal is the best. Some people do get stuck, I’m not gonna hold you, but you always have another chance to come up again.
AllHipHop: How was it working with 6lack on “U Ain’t Worth It”?
Melii: The highlight was that he was honest. The first song I sent, he didn’t really vibe with it. When I sent him that one, he vibed with it and sent it back. 6lack is such a welcoming guy. We were literally shooting the video and we needed another scene, he’s like “I’ll stay back, she can shoot her scene.” We didn’t end up doing it but wow, for an artist like you to be open and understanding, that was the highlight for me. Just getting to know him as a person.
AllHipHop: Any collabs we can lookout for?
Melii: I’ve been open to being in the studio with more people. Before, it’d be me and my engineer. But now, I want to have different producers in there. Writers, now I’m open to different ideas. I’ve tried the whole writing stuff. I do end up going like eh, but it’s still a different idea. I learned to embrace it in a different way. There’s so many different things. Oh, I worked with KayyCyy Pluto. Crazy artist. He’s talented, crazy.
AllHipHop: I just interviewed him! That’s wild.
Melii: I worked with him in Miami and it was refreshing. Aye, even just playing our records back and forth. You heard of Beam?
AllHipHop: Yes!
Melii: With KayyCyy, Vory, and Beam, 3 people I’ve been in the studio with, it’s pushed me to be more accepting of vibes in the studio. I love their music, very talented. My music, I’m a be putting out new s###. Now, I have more control.
AllHipHop: How was it doing “Big Tipper” with Lil Wayne?
Melii: That was Tory, Tory’s always looking out. He’s always supported my career, always pushing it. He definitely pushes me to be my own artist all the time. He doesn’t overshadow. Any time, say editing videos or when I have questions, he’s always looking out. And with Lil Wayne, that was big. Girl, it’s Lil Wayne! In 6th grade when Wayne dropped “Over,” bro around that time to now being on a song with Lil Wayne, that’s a blessing.
AllHipHop: What’re you most excited for?
Melii: I’m most excited to see how the world receives the new me without feeling bad for myself, feeling limited, feeling controlled, feeling like I was a caged animal. In a sense, I did it to myself. I felt like I didn’t deserve certain things. Even in relationships, I couldn’t accept being hugged. Now, hug me! Now, I want to feel love. I want to embrace, I want to take a new step toward life. Use me, see me, push yourself. Yesterday you could’ve felt like s### and wanted to die, but wake up the next day and it’s a new day! Whatever time you started, that’s the time you’re supposed to wake up and you go attack whatever. Go do what you gotta do.
The pandemic really changed a lot for me. A lot of people died, may they rest in peace. People that got affected, I send my love out to. But yo, we got another chance at life. It’s another chance. If God really wanted me to go today, I could have gone. Trust ’cause when it’s your time, it’s your time. I had to learn, f### wanting be dead. F### the world! I’m a live in my world and I’m a make it fun for me. That’s all you can do. It’s about releasing control, because anxiety also comes from the unknown. Even you saying “oh, you want to go to Texas?” Hell yeah! I’m a little scared, but it’s gonna be lit. And I might not end up in Texas, but I’m open to whatever. ‘Cause everything is embracing.
Residents of St. Petersburg, Florida, are showering rap star Rod Wave with praise.
The rap star kept his promise to help the natives in his hometown financially by giving away $25,000 worth of gas.
According to local reports, hundreds of residents showed up to take advantage of Rod Wave’s generosity.
On Saturday (April 9th), the giveaway took place at the Sunoco on 34th Street.
The rapper sprung into action due to the rising gas price, which is at over $5 a gallon in some places, which has had a ripple effect on the post-pandemic economic recovery.
Average consumers are cutting back on spending, airlines are reducing flights and increasing fairs, and prices for household goods have soared.
Rod Wave was shocked by the rising gas prices, which have had a real impact on people around the United States.
“It was crazy to me how much gas had went up. For me on an everyday basis, it doesn’t affect me much, but I know it’s people out there that really need it,” Rod Wave told WFLA Channel 8.
Rod, Wave’s mother, dozens of volunteers, as well as students and staff from Lakewood High, pitched in to help pump the gas.
Rap star Azealia Banks took to social media to show off their new booty.
The “212” rapper could not get over how good her new Brazilian butt lift (BBL) looked. Azealia Banks praised her new backside after receiving the FDA-approved Radiesse butt lift.
The non-surgical option is said to lift and shape the contours of the buttocks.
Azealia Banks gave a testimonial about the process to her Instagram followers while showing off her new, ample results.
“Radiesse BBL is a way better option than traditional bbl. Most women Reabsorb the bbl and body fat, it’s a ridiculously invasive procedure with an 18% death rate, an absolutely disgusting/bloodylpus filled and LENGTHY healing process,” Azealia Banks wrote on her Instagram stories.
“Sculptra give the girls lumps And don’t even get started on the black market injections… If we are on the brink of nuclear war l’m getting me some ass…JU HEARD!?!! The vegan metabolism stomach on flat flat and the enhanced booty is giving me new a level of sex appeal,” she said.
She accompanied her post with a threat and some impressive results from her Radiesse butt lift procedure.
“You b###### are not ready,” she exclaimed. Take a look at the results below:
“(Motherhood) plays a huge part (in feeling at ease). When I look at my son, I’m just magically in love. He just makes me laugh, makes me smile, makes me happy. He’s just so cute and cuddly,” Nicki Minaj smiled. “I rap and sing to him all the time. I just make up melodies all day.”
Amid singing some of her biggest tracks alongside James and showing off her Adele impression, the star also reflected on the ups and downs of being in the public eye.
“I think when I was younger, my more natural state was to be more confident. But I think when you’re a woman, and you’re in the public eye all the time if you’re not careful, you can become less confident because you’re being constantly scrutinized. I just don’t think it’s natural. It’s not natural for a human being to feel like everyone’s critiquing them,” the 39-year-old mused. “(When I was starting out) I had this amazing sense of freedom because nobody gave a s**t about what I was doing. I could get away with anything.”
“And then it goes from that to the complete, complete opposite. If I blink my eye wrong, they’ll have a story made up about why I blinked my eye that way,” Nicki Minaj added. “Whenever I am off of social media, and I take that s**t off my phone, I have just this enormous sense of peace. And then you realize what really matters.”
Gillie da King went ballistic on Wiz Khalifa and accused the Pittsburgh rapper of “snitching” on him after the “Million Dollaz Worth of Game” co-host lost his Instagram page.
“U tell a ni$$a put sum shorts on he tells IG ur bullying him and gets ur page deactivated 🤦🏾♂️ ni$$a I was playing des rappers so pu$$y,” Gillie da King snapped.
U tell a ni$$a put sum shorts on he tells IG ur bullying him and gets ur page deactivated 🤦🏾♂️ ni$$a I was playing des rappers so pu$$y
A few days ago, Gillie posted a message taking issue with Wiz Khalifa’s new penchant for working out and training in extremely tight underwear and nothing else.
Wiz also has posted videos of himself training with Jake Paul, hopping in hot tubs, and leaving restaurants in his tight briefs.
Last week, Gillie had finally had enough and revealed he decided to unfollow Wiz because of his posts.
“Today I had to unfollow one of my brothers, Wiz Khalifa. I love you brother. Every time I come on my page, you’re in your drawers. You’re giving up strap-and-balls action,” Gillie told Wiz.
Wiz Khalifa replied to Gillie by calling him “negative.”
“The same n##### who be telling me to put clothes on in the gym, or unfollowing me because I make them uncomfortable, y’all the same n##### who laughed at people when they read in high school or said that you sound stupid because you sound smart,” Wiz Khalifa said, before labeling Gillie “negative.”
“You know what I do with negativity? See ya!”
Wiz Khalifa denied he was behind Gillie’s page getting deleted by Instagram. He even claimed he tried to help the Philly rapper-turned-podcaster get his page back.
“I didn’t get that child’s instagram deleted. I even offered to help him get his page back and he declined. See ya ✌🏾,” Wiz Khalif tweeted.
I didn’t get that child’s instagram deleted. I even offered to help him get his page back and he declined. See ya ✌🏾
Gillie admitted Wiz reached out, but he was declined the “See You Again” rapper’s offer to help.
“You know I talked to that super soft extra sensitive swab cotton ass n#### right? He said ‘you hurt my feelings.’ He said people was laughing at me Gillie, and I don’t like to be laughed at,” Gillie da King revealed.
“He said ‘I felt like you was bringing down another black man.’ I was like ‘n#### because I told you to put some drawls on?’ I mean because I told you to put some shorts over top your drawls, I’m bringing down another black man?’ Yeah so extra super soft cotton swab. It’s all good. You can’t hold. No real n#### back though,” Gillie da King said.
Gillie also issued a veiled threat to the Taylor Gang leader.
I didn’t get that child’s instagram deleted. I even offered to help him get his page back and he declined. See ya ✌🏾
His proclamation did not sit well with fellow Brooklyn rapper Fivio Foreign, who sent a message to his fans, noting his success while denying 6ix9ine’s claim to owning the title.
“5 Billboards in Times Square, Top 5 songs in NY on Apple at once, & articles in both Daily News & NY Times.. Don’t ever let that n#### say he the King Of this city 🗽,” Fivio Foreign wrote.
5 Billboards in Times Square, Top 5 songs in NY on Apple at once, & articles in both Daily News & NY Times.. Don’t ever let that n#### say he the King Of this city 🗽
Tekashi 6ix9ine got wind of Fivio Foreign’s comment and issued a rather nasty response of his own.
Tekashi 6ix9ine hopped into DJ Akademiks comments and said, “Didn’t his bestfriend just get shot in his head a month ago? He worried about billboards in Times Square….. 😭😭😩.”
Tekashi 6ix9ine was apparently referring to the shocking murder of Fivio Foreign’s friend Tdott Woo.
He was shot around 2:30 in the afternoon and was transported to the Brookdale Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Meanwhile, Tekashi 6ix9ine gave his 21-plus million followers a glimpse of his upcoming single by releasing a snippet of new music. In the song and the post, the controversial rapper brags up not being “touched” since his early release from prison.
“IM THE KING OF NEW YORK THIS MY CITYYYYYYYYY BROOKLYN 🗣🗣🗣 GINÈ GINE 🌈🌈 AND I STILLLLL DIDNT GET TOUCHEDDDDDDD 😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽,” Tekashi 6ix9ine snarled.
The rapper was the center of a sensational trial in which he testified against the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods.
The testimony earned him an early release. However, his cooperation earned him the title of a “rat,” which he seemed to embrace.
However, Tekashi 6ix9ine has been embroiled in beef with several top rappers, including Lil Durk, Meek Mill, YG, and now Fivio Foreign.
In fact, the backdrop of 6ix9ine’s new video has already been vandalized. The sidewalk, windows, and exterior of the building were painted with the word “rat” all over.

Kim Kardashian sat with ABC News Robin Roberts to talk about her new show on Hulu, “The Kardashians,” her children, and her tumultuous relationship with her former husband, Kanye West, one of the most influential and controversial figures in Hip-Hop.
Roberts asked the billionaire, “Was it difficult because of how Kanye became so public? How have you been able to navigate that?”
“You want to take the high road, and sometimes it’s hard,” the billionaire answered. “But I think that, at the end of the day, everyone has their own way of communicating.”
“I’ve always been, like, a champion of him speaking his truth, and I would always want that,” she continued.
The mom says that she and her ex are in a good space regarding their children.
“Kanye and I have had conversations,” Kardashian said to the journalist. “We have to talk daily for the kids. So, you know, I hate that it had to play out like that, but when it comes to family, I mean, Kanye and I will always be family.”
She added, “At the end of the day, I just want my kids to be happy and healthy and think the world of their dad, and they do.”

Toronto rapper Drake is in court regarding his alleged stalker, a woman he accused of harassing him in the past. She is causing problems for him. According to his lawyers, the woman became such a dangerous nuisance, that the Billboard chart-topper had to get a temporary restraining order last month to keep Mesha Collins away.
Now, his attorney Larry Stein has filed court documents claiming Collins is still harassing not only his client but him, as Drake’s lawyer.
According to RadarOnline, Stein wrote on March 30 that Collins shot a message saying she was going to “invade [Drake’s] home again” if she didn’t get her a new house and vehicle for her upcoming birthday.
“Please ask him to help me get a Brand New House and Car as my birthday is on April 29th. I will have no choice but to invade his home again. Please! I Love Him and need money,” she allegedly said.
The Lawyer contends this violates the current status of the restraining order and wants the courts to make it permanent, making it extend for five more years.
