Jonathan Majors Opens Up About Horrific Childhood Abuse

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

Jonathan Majors revealed childhood abuse trauma to The Hollywood Reporter in a candid new interview detailing his emotional journey toward self-discovery and healing.

The 35-year-old actor, known for his standout role in Creed II, is attempting to rebuild his Hollywood career following a damaging 2023 conviction for assault and harassment against a former romantic partner.

The scandal significantly impacted his once-soaring trajectory in television and film, halting numerous high-profile projects.

Speaking openly to The Hollywood Reporter, Majors described the lasting emotional scars left by childhood sexual abuse, confessing the experiences deeply impacted his emotional well-being.

“I dealt with sexual abuse from both men and women from the time I was nine… From people who are supposed to look after you, in the absence of a father. I was f**ked up,” Majors explained.

Majors, whose father abandoned the family when he was only eight, shared how the absence of paternal protection compounded the trauma.

He recently discussed his childhood experiences with his mother, revealing that she expressed remorse for not shielding him from harm.

Jonathan Majors reassured her, saying, “I’m like, ‘It’s not even an issue, Mom. I just want you to know. And now we can all get busy and continue to connect and grow and learn from it, because it’s something that was in our family.'”

The former Marvel Cinematic Universe star, who once portrayed Kang the Conqueror, emphasized that confronting his past trauma has contributed to his understanding of recent troubling behaviors.

Rather than making excuses, Majors insists he’s committed to self-examination and personal accountability.

Reflecting on his struggles, Majors emphasized facing reality head-on rather than slipping into destructive patterns.

“There are no excuses, but by getting help, you begin to understand things about yourself… Am I going to fall into that narrative of falling apart, of self-destruction? Have a struggle, blame the world. Have a struggle, hate yourself. Have a struggle, deny everything. None of those narratives is beneficial,” he stated.

SIGNS: Baby Mama, Backlash & Bags: Fort Worth Tragedy Sparks Heated Debate Online

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: Rumors

This sucks. And then it gets worse.

Lil Ronnie and his young daughter were tragically gunned down in Fort Worth, Texas—and somehow, in the aftermath of unimaginable loss, the story took a wildly polarizing turn involving designer bags, viral videoo and GoFundMe scrutiny.

Ronnie Smith, better known as rapper Lil Ronnie, and his 5-year-old daughter were murdered at a local car wash in what authorities believe was a targeted hit. Naturally, the community and blogs alike came together in support, demanding justice and donating generously—more than $50,000 raised—for funeral costs and support for the grieving family.

But then came the curveball.

The child’s mother, whose name hasn’t been officially released, hit social media with what many are calling a jarring display of grief—or a stunning lack thereof. In a now-viral video, she coolly stated, “I grieve a little different.” That phrase alone lit the internet on fire. But it was her follow-up that took it into controversial territory: “Y’all took my baby, but I ain’t tripping on that.”

Wait, what?

Instead of mourning, the mom appeared in videos flaunting designer gear, a Louis Vuitton bag front and center, and casually flexing stacks of cash. The optics were off. She was not crying, no prayers, no distress…just money, fashion and vibes. Those who had donated like it was the ultimate betrayal. Bloggers that propped this up were highly upset. Middle fingers in a video? Yikes.

I don’t know nothing about Lil Ronnie, but she never showed any sadness regarding ol’ boy. Was there bad blood? Or was there something deeper at play? Grief looks different for everyone, some have argued. We shouldn’t police how people mourn, but accountability becomes part of the deal when people give you money.

A tragic shooting is now a mess.

Diddy’s Ex-Bodyguard Makes More Salacious Claims About Mogul’s Sex Life

By: Kyle EusticeCategory: News

Diddy’s former bodyguard Gene Deal did another interview with The Art of Dialogue in which he makes salacious claims about the embattled mogul’s sex life. According to Deal, who spoke about a similar topic on the same platform before, Diddy had a sexual relationship with former Bad Boy Records president Kirk Burrowes.

As he explains in the clip, Deal used to follow Diddy to Burrows’s apartment when they’d do money drops. But Diddy would wind up sleeping over at the home, which initially confused Deal. Fast forward to 2025 and Burrows is among the many suing Diddy for alleged sexual assault.

Deal addresses it in the clip, but questions, “Wait a minute, they was lovers.” Deal also alleged other Bad Boy employees previously caught Diddy and Burrows in compromising positions.

Burrowes filed his latest lawsuit against Diddy in February, alleging Diddy subjected him to “repeated sexual harassment, physical aggression and forced compliance with degrading sexual acts.”

The lawsuit also claims that Combs used “physical violence, blackmail, career sabotage and financial extortion” to force Burrowes into giving up his 25 percent stake in Bad Boy Entertainment. Burrowes filed a separate lawsuit against Diddy’s mother, Janice Combs, accusing her of participating in a fraudulent scheme to obtain full control of Bad Boy Entertainment.

It’s not the first time Burrowes has taken legal action against Diddy. In 2003, he filed a lawsuit over an alleged incident from 1996, but that case was dismissed. The current lawsuit is part of a series of legal complaints against Diddy, with at least 50 similar claims filed since November 2023.

Diddy’s legal team has dismissed Burrowes’ claims as “frivolous” and a waste of court resources, stating that these allegations have been repeatedly thrown out of court over the past 30 years.

Ray J Released By LAPD Despite Explosive Fight With Princess Love

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Ray J and Princess Love got in an explosive dispute tied to their ongoing divorce drama last week. The incident resulted in police intervention and Ray J being briefly detained.

The turbulence unfolded when Princess Love dialed 911, alleging that Ray J had become hostile, shouting aggressively. She thought he was possibly under the influence during their quarrel.

Responding swiftly, multiple Los Angeles Police Department officers arrived at the couple’s residence, placing Ray J in handcuffs and temporarily seating him in the back of a patrol car to defuse tensions.

Despite the alarming scene, authorities concluded quickly—after gathering statements from both parties—that no criminal offense had occurred.

The officers subsequently released Ray J and removed the handcuffs. As standard LAPD protocol, a domestic violence incident report was documented, yet no charges or arrests ensued from the confrontation.

In footage captured during the aftermath, Ray J appeared calm and appreciative toward law enforcement.

Ray J expressed his gratitude, calmly telling officers, “I just like y’all did everything y’all could. I just want to just be free thank you, you guys are the best.”

The incident spotlights a history of marital instability for the reality stars, who exchanged vows in a lavish ceremony in August 2016.

Their relationship has been marked by repeated divorce filings and reconciliations.

The first filing came in May 2020, only to be withdrawn two months later. Another came swiftly in September of the same year, dismissed again by February 2021.

A third attempt followed in October 2021, ultimately abandoned in March 2023. The couple is now in the midst of their fourth divorce filing, initiated by Ray J in February 2024.

Throughout their nearly eight-year marriage, the pair have welcomed two children, a daughter, Melody, born in May 2018, and a son, Epik, born in December 2019.

Their family life, often portrayed in the public spotlight through reality television, has been consistently turbulent, marked by emotional disputes and public disagreements.

Kanye West’s “No Fat People” Tweet Elicits Strong Reactions—But It Isn’t Surprising

By: Kyle EusticeCategory: Rumors

Kanye West is on another Twitter tear and this time, his targets include Playboi Carti and (big surprise) Jewish people. While we aren’t going to bore our readers with further examples of West’s ongoing anti-Semitism and digs at other rappers, we are going to bring attention to his casting call tweet.

In between deleting another round of offensive tweets that are now a permanent part of West’s tarnished legacy, he posted a casting call announcement in which he barred overweight people from applying.

He wrote, “THE HOOLIGANS. Open casting call for volunteers. Ye is putting together a hooligan choir to give the sound of the Vultures number one song Carnival. All males. NO FAT PEOPLE. The skin complexion of Sean Combs and darker. With shaved heads OR must be willing to shave head if approved.”

West also requested anyone interested in the role must “be comfortable wearing swastikas,” which is completely on brand for the polarizing rapper/producer.

“We are accepting members from all over the globe but the base will be in Los Angeles.” He included the addresses and ended his tweet with “F### AN EMAIL ADDRESS.”

West’s body-shaming tweet garnered strong reactions, with one person writing, “This is straight-up clown behavior. If you’re begging for attention this hard, you’ve already lost. Swastikas? Fat-shaming? Obsessing over skin color? You sound like a joke trying way too hard to be edgy. Nobody with self-respect would waste their time on this garbage.”

Another added, “You’re really digging deep into the depths of societal toxicity aren’t you? I mean, excluding fat people and demanding specific skin complexion is quite something,” while yet another said, “JEWISH lives matter, BLACK lives matter, f### slavery, f### yo NARCISSIM and also- son- f### you.”

One netizen even offered, “I’m gonna show up and force feed you pills that make you normal.”

At this point, that doesn’t even seem possible. West recently defied his ex-wife Kim Kardashian’s wishes and released a track featuring their daughter North West, Diddy and Diddy’s son Christian Combs. Kardashian was adamant she didn’t want their child on a song with the incarcerated mogul—he did it anyway. But this is Kanye’s world and we’re just living in it—at least, that’s what he wants us to believe.

The saddest part about this entire situation is if and when Bully drops, it will probably still debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, West will still sell thousands of dollars in merch and people will still show up to his concerts. It’s clear we are outnumbered by Americans who have no backbone, morals, ethics and standards.

What would Donda think of her son’s antics? Is it really THAT hard to just be a good person? Don’t ask Kanye. He obviously has no clue.

What Rapper Was Almost Lined Up Overseas?

By: Houston WilliamsCategory: Rumors

As you already know, rappers aren’t going to stay hot forever. If you’re lucky, you get some hits and you’re able to tour with those hits. One rapper, a major star, found himself touring the world. I can’t say exactly who this is, but I can tell you he was dealing with some folks from Russia.

Everything seemed all good and cool… but the problem is they thought everything was cool. What do I mean? Well, the rapper wanted some girls. And these young guys decided they would go out and provide him with that service. They found the girls and basically let them do whatever they wanted. Now, this wasn’t an illegal situation, but it definitely had that kind of energy.

Rumors & Gossip About Your Favorite Rappers, Actors And More

So the rapper and his crew have a great time, not realizing they’re dealing with some real gangster dudes. Or maybe a better term would be baby gangsters.

These baby gangsters reportedly—and I emphasize reportedly—pondered doing something to the rapper. But they didn’t. Allegedly, they decided to let him and his crew continue the tour. Still, they felt extremely disrespected by the rapper and his entourage. They were hoping to do business with him and level up what they were doing. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen.

They’re probably keeping a decent relationship alive just in case this rapper circles back and needs something else. But to all the rappers out there, I urge you—be very respectful if you leave this country.

Times are changing like crazy, and I think instances of disrespect might not be tolerated much longer. If you’re not careful, you could end up hurt, kidnapped—or worse. Sadly, the leadership here in the States is creating a more hostile global environment. And we just might not be as safe as we think.

So take care out there.

Kanye West Drops Track With North West & Diddy—Despite Kim Kardashian’s Threats

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Kanye West stirred up fresh controversy on Saturday (March 15) by unveiling his latest musical creation, “Lonely Roads Still Go To Sunshine,” on Twitter—despite urgent legal challenges from ex-wife Kim Kardashian.

The track includes appearances from embattled music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, Combs’ son Christian “King” Combs and West’s own daughter North West.

The song begins with a message from Combs, who addresses Kanye directly from behind bars, expressing gratitude for his support while the disgraced mogul awaits trial on grave federal sex trafficking charges.

West’s daughter North steps into the spotlight briefly but memorably, confidently rapping the line, “When you see me shining, then you see the light,” further elevating the emotional intensity of the collaboration.

Christian “King” Combs also contributes his own lyrical verse, adding another layer to the personal nature of the song. Behind the scenes, Kim Kardashian reportedly scrambled to halt the release due to North’s involvement and the contentious legal drama surrounding Combs.

Kardashian swiftly dispatched cease-and-desist letters demanding Kanye abandon plans to drop the song. Sources revealed an emergency court hearing was subsequently held, which Kanye did not attend, though he apparently agreed at that time to delay the track’s release.

Yet, in classic Kanye style, he defied expectations and legal warnings by going forward anyway.

Hours before making the track public, Kanye West further ignited tensions by posting an alleged text exchange with Kardashian, ominously captioned, “We’re going to war.”

The move signaled escalating friction between the former couple, who continue navigating co-parenting amid public and private disagreements.

Kardashian’s chief concern reportedly centers around North’s exposure to the ongoing scandal involving Combs, whose legal woes have cast a long shadow over the music industry.

West’s decision to include their daughter alongside Combs, despite these serious allegations, has clearly deepened the rift between the exes.

Turbo Wins $10M Lawsuit Over Producer Tag—What Judge Ruled

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

Turbo triumphed big-time in court after a copyright battle over his iconic “Run dat back Turbo” producer tag ended with a judge throwing out all claims filed against him by Georgia musician Jamal Britt.

The ruling was a decisive win for the Grammy-nominated, diamond-certified hitmaker, dismissing Britt’s accusations of copyright infringement, Lanham Act violations and joint ownership.

The judge determined that all of Britt’s allegations lacked sufficient evidence, reinforcing Turbo’s sole ownership and exclusive rights to his catchy audio signature.

This legal drama started in January 2024 when Britt filed suit against Turbo, along with Warner Chappell Music and several major record labels.

Britt alleged that his voice recording, originally laid down in the 2017 track “Afghanistan,” was used without his permission as the recognizable producer tag that has graced more than 80 chart-topping songs by some of the industry’s biggest names, including Lil Baby, Gunna, Nicki Minaj and Chris Brown.

Britt was seeking joint authorship credits and compensation for past royalties and unspecified damages.

However, the court’s recent dismissal makes clear Britt had no creative role in the producer tag beyond his initial contribution to “Afghanistan.”

The judgment effectively protects Turbo’s artistic identity, cementing his control over the now-famous tag in future productions.

Turbo’s victory is significant, given the prominence of his trademark catchphrase. The phrase “Run dat back, Turbo” has become synonymous with some of Hip-Hop’s hottest hits.

It notably punctuates the 2018 smash “Drip Too Hard” by Lil Baby and Gunna, which soared to No. 4 on Billboard’s Hot 100.

The tag also appears on popular singles by Moneybagg Yo and Nicki Minaj, further establishing Turbo’s distinctive production style within the music industry.

Rihanna Exposes Truth About Her Motherhood Challenges

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

Rihanna revealed deep “resentment” as she navigates the tricky crossroads between motherhood and her powerhouse career.

The Grammy-winning superstar and beauty mogul, who welcomed two sons, RZA and Riot, in 2022 and 2023, respectively, with rapper boyfriend A$AP Rocky, confessed openly to Harper’s Bazaar that balancing her demanding schedule with the responsibilities of motherhood has been anything but easy.

“Every decision I make is about them, but everything I do that I love takes away from them,” Rihanna explained frankly. “So I have a weird resentment towards the things I love. You almost feel like something is always suffering for you to show up somewhere.”

Known for her chart-topping hits and billion-dollar beauty empire, the 37-year-old Barbadian icon shed light on the complexities she faces behind her public persona, describing how her busy lifestyle often splits her attention, leaving her struggling to fully engage in any given task.

“When you show up, it’s not 100 percent because there’s something else on the wheel. It’s actually given me a lot more self-guilt,” she continued. “I don’t like letting people down, but I also know that most of the time, it’s me letting myself down, which means something has to change, but everything is on the wheel all the time.”

The “Diamonds” singer candidly acknowledged to Harper’s Bazaar the constant inner tug-of-war between motherhood and her dedication to her career.

Rihanna admitted she frequently has to remind herself that juggling both worlds was her conscious choice.

“I’m trying to find a balance so that I feel fulfilled when I show up for something, so I don’t feel guilty,” she stated.

Flau’jae Johnson Scores Big For Families Struggling With Debt Across Louisiana

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Flau’jae Johnson just scored big for Louisiana families by teaming up with Experian to help eliminate $5 million worth of consumer debt.

The junior guard from LSU women’s basketball isn’t just dribbling up the court—she’s dribbling toward financial literacy and tackling debt head-on.

“It’s hard to create a winning financial game plan when you are blocked by debt,” said Flau’jae Johnson, LSU guard. “I am excited to partner with Experian to empower families in the state and across the country so they can become financial champions of their future.”

Experian, the financial services giant, announced it will clear the consumer debt of 5,000 Louisiana households, totaling a hefty $5 million.

And the stakes are getting higher: for every win LSU clinches in the upcoming college basketball tournament, Experian will add another $100,000 to the debt relief pot, maxing out at an additional half-million dollars.

To execute this ambitious plan, Experian enlisted the expertise of ForgiveCo, a Public Benefit Corporation specializing in managing and canceling consumer debts.

The initiative targets Louisiana specifically, a state identified by the U.S. Census Bureau as having one of the nation’s highest poverty rates, making the program incredibly impactful.

Alongside the debt cancellation, Experian offers the beneficiaries a complimentary one-year premium membership.

The membership includes full access to their Experian credit reports, FICO Scores, and credit monitoring across three bureaus. Beneficiaries will also gain access to CreditLock and assistance with subscription cancellations and bill negotiations to save money.

Dacy Yee, president of Experian Consumer Services, emphasized the importance of addressing overwhelming debt, noting that Experian’s resources are designed to help consumers navigate harsh economic conditions.

Yee expressed optimism for the initiative’s potential impact, stating, “We hope this debt relief and access to Experian tools will help beneficiaries in Louisiana move towards a healthier financial future.”

With March Madness approaching, Louisiana’s basketball enthusiasts have more reason than ever to root passionately for LSU.

Every basket Johnson sinks could translate into tangible financial relief for thousands of families across the state, linking the excitement on the court directly to economic hope in Louisiana communities.

Kim Kardashian Admits Ignoring Kanye West’s Jewelry Advice Ended Badly

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

Kim Kardashian experienced the glamor of Paris Fashion Week transform into a nightmare robbery after ignoring Kanye West’s prophetic jewelry advice.

In a chat with sister Khloé Kardashian, Kim revisited the chilling incident in October 2016, recalling a crucial warning from her now ex-husband Kanye.

After she had flaunted two extravagant diamond rings online, Kanye strongly advised against wearing both simultaneously, fearing unwanted attention from thieves.

“Kanye saw it and he goes, ‘Don’t you ever wear both of your rings at the same time. Are you looking to get robbed?'” Kim recounted on the latest episode of “The Kardashians.”

The luxurious pair of rings in question were no ordinary accessories.

Kanye first popped the question to Kim in 2013 with a cushion-cut diamond engagement ring weighing an impressive 15 carats.

He later upgraded the bling factor in 2016 with a dazzling 20-carat rock reportedly valued at around $4 million.

Ironically, the only piece of jewelry Kim chose not to pack for her Paris trip was the original 15-carat engagement ring.

“My first one that I got engaged to Kanye (with) was a cushion cut and that was the only piece of jewellery I owned that I didn’t take to Paris,” Kim shared.

Unfortunately, Kim’s decision to bring the larger ring to Paris Fashion Week became a costly mistake.

In a terrifying encounter that made global headlines, masked thieves stormed her Parisian hotel suite, stealing approximately $10 million worth of jewelry, including the upgraded diamond.

The traumatic robbery prompted Kim to stop wearing jewelry publicly altogether. Years later, Kim hinted she may finally be ready to embrace jewelry again.

She also revealed a heartfelt plan for the original ring Kanye proposed with, involving their eldest daughter, North, now 11 years old.

“That one, I’m gonna give to Northy, because she was with me when I got engaged and she held it after and I took a photo and she was just, like, a few months old,” she smiled.

Kim and Kanye officially parted ways in 2021, finalizing their divorce the following year. They share four children together, with North being their firstborn.

Ne-Yo Explains How He “Schedules” Time With Four Girlfriends

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

Ne-Yo recently exposed his quirky romance involving four girlfriends on Instagram, sparking curiosity and online debate.

The Grammy-winning R&B star, known for hits like “Miss Independent,” went viral in February when he openly shared details about living in a polyamorous relationship with four women.

Now, Ne-Yo, 45, is giving the public an inside look at how he manages the complexity of his unique romantic arrangement.

Taking to Instagram, the singer playfully addressed public curiosity surrounding his love life, posting a multi-image slideshow and writing, “Since the world is so intrigued, I guess I should introduce my loves properly. Ladies and gents, I present my pyramid: Cristina aka PB (Pretty Baby), Arielle aka TF (Twin Flame), Moneii PF (Phoenix Feather), and Bri (Sexy Lil’ Somethin’).”

Ne-Yo didn’t stop there—he went on Big Boy’s Neighborhood podcast, giving fans further insight into how he juggles the logistics of his unconventional arrangement.

With his busy touring schedule and career commitments, the star explained he coordinates his time with each partner.

“I do the schedule because I’m the busiest,” Ne-Yo said candidly. “I’m the one that always got something to do. For example, on this tour, I’ll let this one come out for seven days then she goes home, then this one comes out for seven days, and this one comes out for seven days, and then we do something all together. It’s a beautiful thing.”

The artist emphasized the harmony among his partners, describing their mutual respect and friendship as essential to the relationship’s success.

“Mind you, again, they all get along with each other, so they have no problem hanging out with each other,” he shared.

While the singer’s romantic choices may not align with traditional norms, his willingness to publicly explore and share his experience highlights evolving conversations about love, relationships and personal boundaries in today’s entertainment culture.

“I think one of the most important things about this is understanding that these are four individual women that need their individual time,” he said.

Kanye West Declares “War” On Ex-Wife Kim Kardashian

By: Kyle EusticeCategory: News

Kanye West and his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, are gearing up for battle—or at least that’s how it seems. On Saturday (March 15), the polarizing rapper/producer posted a screenshot of a recent text exchange the former couple had involving their eldest daughter, North West.

Evidently, Kardashian is adamant she holds the trademark to the young girl’s name and doesn’t want her appearing on a song featuring Diddy. It appears Kardashian served West with some kind of legal document barring North from being on the track.

“I’m never speaking with you again,” West begins, to which Kardashian responds, “I asked u at the time if I can trademark her name. You said yes. When she’s 18 it goes to her. So stop. I sent paper work over so she wouldn’t be in the Diddy song to protect her. One person has to trademark! We agreed when they were born I would get all of our kids names and trademarks so no one else would take them.”

West replies, “Amend it or I’m going to war. And neither of us will recover from the public fallout. You’re going to have to kill me.” He later tweeted part of the letter he received from his ex-wife, which reads, “Kim is the sole and exclusive owner of all trademarks relating to North West’s name, including North West Mark.

“Ye’s use of North’s name, likeness and trademark in connection with this recording is not only a violation of the parties’ 2022 Stipulated Judgment as the parties share joint legal custody, but also an infringement under state and federal laws. Kim does not believe that participation in this project is in North’s best interest and asked…”

It ends there. Despite Kim Kardashian’s wishes, West posted a clip of the song with Diddy, Christian Combs and North West anyway.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s divorce was a highly publicized event that marked the end of their eight-year relationship. The couple, who married in 2014, began experiencing marital issues that culminated in Kardashian filing in February 2021.

The reasons behind their split were attributed to “irreconcilable differences,” with sources suggesting that Kardashian’s decision was influenced by her desire to prioritize her children’s well-being and her own sanity. West’s public mental health struggles and bid for the U.S. presidency were also cited as contributing factors to the breakdown of their marriage.

The divorce was finalized on November 29, 2022, with both parties agreeing to joint physical and legal custody of their four children: North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm. As part of the settlement, West was required to pay $200,000 per month in child support and share half of the children’s medical, educational and security expenses.

The couple also divided their properties, with Kardashian receiving several homes in California and Idaho. Despite the challenges they faced during the divorce process, they remained committed to their co-parenting relationship.

West is currently on another Twitter tirade, referring to himself as “the prophet.” More to come.

Donald Trump Goes Viral After He’s#### In Face With Reporter’s Microphone

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Donald Trump experienced an unexpected incident during a press conference at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland on Friday (March 14). While addressing reporters on topics, including the situation in Gaza, a boom microphone accidentally struck Trump in the face.

Equipped with a fuzzy windscreen known as a “dead cat,” the mic made contact with Trump’s lips and left cheek, causing him to recoil slightly. The incident caught both Trump and the assembled press off guard, leading to a brief moment of silence.

Trump’s initial reaction to the mishap was a mix of surprise and humor. After initially glaring at the reporter responsible for the microphone, he quipped, “She just made television tonight. She just became a big story tonight.”

The microphone operator, whose identity hasn’t been revealed, was heard apologizing for the accident. The moment quickly went viral on social media, eliciting various reactions from supporters and critics alike.

While some viewed it as a potential security concern, others saw it as an embarrassing accident for the press. Despite the unexpected interruption, Trump continued the press conference, tackling issues such as the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and discussions regarding the release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas.

Trump spent Saturday (March 25) learning about a coordinated protest action called “Postcards to Trump,” where opponents are sending postcards to the White House expressing their opposition.

He also reportedly launched large-scale strikes against Yemen’s Houthi faction in response to their attacks on shipping in the Red Sea. He warned that “hell will rain down upon you” if they don’t cease their offensive and also issued a stern warning to Iran to stop supporting the Houthis.

Additionally, he signed a stopgap spending bill that averts a partial government shutdown. This bill was passed by Congress earlier this week.

Snoop Dogg Eyes Death Row Global? Are International Artists Key To Label’s Next Chapter?

By: IllseedCategory: Rumors

Snoop Dogg and global expansion are one and the same. But as it relates to Death Row Records, not so much. Snoop acquired the iconic label in 2022 and we’ve been in love with the throwback vibes. I heard a bit of a rumor that there’s going to be a push into international territory.

Since the Doggfather took the reins, we’ve had some motion in the new era. But honestly, nothing has rocked the culture like Death Row did in the ’90s. The Row defined West Coast gangsta rap. But it’s been more about legacy than new legends.

Snoop Dogg: News, Rumors & More

Word on the boulevard is that Death Row Records is looking to go global, possibly scouting for international talent. Now that is interesting indeed. Recently we have seen that some international acts have displayed their own “gangsta,” but none have truly caught on.

There might be something poetic about all this. Do you think others can redefine what it all means? America is really about the Death Row life, but others are far more revolutionary. We’ve already seen Latin America, Africa and Europe bring strong Hip-Hop movements of their own. You never know. And Snoop is a real boss.

Dr. Dre and Snoop recently got together for Missionary. But what if that project was with new artists? Dre gave up his stake in Death Row long ago, but his blueprint still looms. Maybe there’s a new way to bring Dre in? The West Coast may be the foundation, but the world is the future.

This is just something I heard. I heard some other stuff, but it’s not fit to print! Shout out to Snoop!

Kim Kardashian Heartbroken By O.J. Simpson Estate Over Bible Battle

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Kim Kardashian’s sentimental $15,000 offer to reclaim her late father’s personalized Bible was turned down by O.J. Simpson’s estate executors, leaving the reality star facing an uncertain online auction battle instead.

The Bible, a customized edition of The Living Bible, was originally a gift from Kim’s father, famed attorney Robert Kardashian, to Simpson shortly after the former NFL superstar’s arrest in connection with the brutal 1994 murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman.

Kim Kardashian, who passed away in 2003 at age 59, had penned a deeply personal message of encouragement within its pages, intended to offer comfort and spiritual guidance during Simpson’s darkest hours.

“O.J. This book will help. God loves and he will speak to you with his words. Read this book everyday. God has a definite plan for your life. You are his child and he will use you again. I love you and God loves you,” the heartfelt inscription reads.

O.J. Simpson estate executor Malcolm LaVergne confirmed that Kim Kardashian recently submitted a $15,000 bid to secure the sentimental keepsake privately.

However, LaVergne explained that the estate was already committed to selling the Bible through Goldin Auctions, making Kim’s offer impossible to accept.

“The amount is why I had no choice, because why would I spend $15,000 of estate money – why would I spend $15,000 in attorney’s fees – to sell it to Kim for $15,000?” LaVergne remarked candidly to People. “That’s a zero-sum game. That’s a bad business model. If Kim had offered $150,000 for it, we would’ve been in court getting this approved outside of the auction.”

With the online auction still underway until March 30, Kim, 44, can bid alongside other potential buyers. Currently, the Bible’s bidding price is $9,800, even lower than Kardashian’s private offer.

LaVergne quipped, “She may even get it cheaper than the $15,000, so who knows.”

Robert Kardashian famously remained by O.J. Simpson’s side throughout the dramatic eight-month criminal trial in 1995, ultimately witnessing Simpson’s acquittal of murder charges related to the stabbing deaths of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman.

Yet, two years later, Simpson was held liable in a civil trial and ordered to pay $34 million to the Goldman family, a judgment he largely left unpaid.

Simpson himself died in 2024 at age 76 following a battle with prostate cancer.

Lil Gotit Reveals How He Uses Connection To Late Brother Lil Keed To Access His Music Vault

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: News

Lil Gotit has shared how he managed to crack his late brother Lil Keed’s hard drive in order to unlock the vault of music he left behind.

During an exclusive interview with Atlanta’s 96.1 The Beat, Lil Gotit spoke about he and Keed’s upcoming album Fraternal, revealing the heartbreaking yet inspiring moment that led to the creation of the project. After the tragic passing of Lil Keed in 2022, Gotit set out to finish what his brother had started, diving deep into Keed’s vault of unreleased music.

“I told my momma, ‘Hey, momma come drop that boy’s [Lil Keed’s] hard drive to me’,” he said in part. “Boi it took me two hours to figure out that boy’s password,” he added while laughing.

The password was a mystery, written nowhere and only known to Keed himself. But Gotit knew his brother well, which is why he says he was able to hack it in a matter of hours.

“I just thought to myself, ‘Keed, he used to be simple with it’, but he’d make things hard at the same time,” Gotit explained. After a moment of intuition, Gotit cracked the code, unlocking a treasure trove of tracks from his brother’s vault.

“I tried something, and boom! It opened right up. A million songs popped up. I said, ‘Wait, I got the vault. I got the real vault!’” he said.

What followed was a musical journey through the heart of Lil Keed’s unreleased material, which Gotit believes was guided by his brother’s spirit. Gotit immediately began adding his own verses to tracks, including collaborations with stars like Tee Grizzley and Ty Dolla $ign.

“I grabbed some of the hard stuff from there,” he said. “It’s like Keed’s spirit is still right here with me.”

The album is set to feature 20 tracks, including the duo’s new single “CASH BROTHERS” and is a collection of music that spans the brothers’ collaborations from 2019 to 2022. Gotit described how much of the album came together organically, in the studio with Keed in LA, working tirelessly on their sound.

“We were recording every day,” he remarked. “We really just vibed out. A lot of the music came from just chilling in the studio, bouncing off each other.”

Yet, the personal stakes of Fraternal are undeniably deep. The project represents more than just music—it’s a testament to the bond the brothers shared and Gotit’s commitment to honoring Keed’s legacy.

“This album, it’s like a brotherly love wave,” he said. “When I play it for people, even other rappers, everyone has their favorite song. It’s something real. Something Keed would’ve wanted.”

Lil Keed’s tragic passing left a void in the Hip-Hop world—one that Gotit has tried to fill with the music they once created together. Keed’s sudden death, attributed to natural causes in May 2022, sent shockwaves through the industry and devastated those who were closest to him, particularly Gotit.

“Keed was all about working hard, pushing yourself in the studio,” he said. “He always said, ‘Keep going, keep recording.'”

Lizzo Confesses To Suicidal Thoughts Amid Troubling Legal Issues

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

Lizzo revealed heartbreaking struggles with depression and suicidal thoughts during an emotional performance at LA’s The Wiltern.

The “Good As Hell” superstar stunned the audience with her confession, describing the turmoil she endured amid recent legal controversies, including lawsuits accusing her of workplace misconduct.

Lizzo explained openly to the crowd how the pressure had spiraled into overwhelming despair.

“About a year and a half ago – it’s so hard for me to talk about – I was in such a dark, deep depression,” Lizzo told the hushed crowd. “I was so heartbroken by the world and so deeply hurt that I didn’t want to live anymore, and I was so deeply afraid of people that I didn’t want to be seen. Eventually I got over that fear.”

The Grammy-winning songstress, known for her empowering anthems and contagious positivity, described how a profound interaction with a stranger helped her regain strength.

She recalled the moment poignantly during the performance, saying, “Something miraculous happened. Somebody, who I didn’t know, looked at me and said, ‘Lizzo, I love you.’ And they reached out, and I reached back, and we hugged, and it felt so damn good.”

Lizzo didn’t hold back when emphasizing the significance of that encounter, calling it “f**king life-saving.”

The emotional revelation comes in the wake of legal troubles that began earlier in 2023, when three former backup dancers and an ex-stylist sued the star, alleging inappropriate conduct, sexual harassment and the fostering of a damaging workplace environment.

Lizzo has steadfastly denied all accusations, and recently, she was dismissed as a defendant from the stylist’s lawsuit.

However, other legal matters remain unresolved.

Outkast Posts Rare ’90s Footage Of The Dungeon In “Homage” To Atlanta

By: Kyle EusticeCategory: News

Outkast—the duo of legendary MCs André 3000 and Big Boi—helped put Atlanta Hip-Hop on the map. Beginning in the early ’90s, albums such as Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik and ATLiens proved indefinitely “the South has something to say.”

It all started in the basement of Rico Wade’s mother’s house, which Wade had nicknamed The Dungeon. There, along with his Organized Noize brethren Sleepy Brown and Ray Murray, Wade crafted enduring masterpieces for not just Outkast but also Goodie Mob, TLC and more.

On Friday (March 14), Outkast uploaded their “homage” to their relationship with Atlanta, which included some rare footage of Three Stacks and Big Boi being interviewed by Fab Five Freddy for Yo! MTV Raps.

Just 19 at the time, Dre, rocking a white Kangol, spoke about “vibing” in the studio while Daddy Fat Sax talked about some of his influences, including Eric B. & Rakim and Kurtis Blow as well as their peers, Goodie Mob and Society of Soul.

Formed in 1992 after André 3000 and Big Boi met as high school students, Outkast quickly rose to prominence two years later, when they unleashed the Organized Noize-produced Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik.

Blending Southern Hip-Hop, funk, psychedelia and jazz, their music was an innovative gumbo of sounds seasoned with intricate lyricism. Outkast released six studio albums during their time together, garnering both critical acclaim and commercial success along the way.

Their 1998 album, Aquemini, liberated Hip-Hop from any perceived constraints with its exploration of more diverse and experimental sounds. Outkast’s impact was further evident on 2003’s double album, Speakerboxxx/The Love Below, which won Album of the Year at the 46th Grammy Awards and achieved diamond certification.

Much has changed since Outkast’s last album, 2006’s Idlewild. André and Big Boi went on their last Outkast tour in 2014, and there’s little chance of them ever getting back together (although they remain close friends).

Three Stacks released an experimental jazz album, New Blue Sun, in 2023 and was nominated for a Grammy in the Album of the Year and Best Alternative Jazz Album categories at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards. The opening track, “I Swear, I Really Wanted to Make a ‘Rap’ Album but This Is Literally the Way the Wind Blew Me This Time,” was nominated for Best Instrumental Composition.

Big Boi continues to tour with Sleepy Brown and other members of the Dungeon Family, although they’ve had to do a lot of mourning in recent months. Rico Wade died suddenly in April 2024 of heart problems and his mother, Beatrice Wade, followed six months later.
