DJ Mustard was relatively unscathed after getting into a car accident over the weekend.
The 10 Summers Records founder suffered minor bruises from a car crash involving a drunk driver, according to a post on his Instagram Stories. Although DJ Mustard dodged any significant injury, his vehicle was severely damaged in the wreck.
“Last night a drunk driver hit me and another car on the freeway slammed my car into the wall,” he wrote. “All the airbags came out totaled by my truck s### felt like a movie smh. I was able to walk away with minor bruises no major injuries thank you god!”

In a second Instagram Stories post, DJ Mustard said his bike was also broken in the crash. He noted he was more upset about the damage to his bike than his car.
“On top of that my trek bike was in the back my s### was broke,” he wrote. “I was more mad about that than my car man.”
DJ Mustard’s accident took place a few days after he hit the studio with West Coast legend DJ Quik. Last week, DJ Quik shared a photo of the two together on his Instagram account.

During the opening of “The Nick Cannon Show” on Monday, Cannon acknowledged that he is the father of Tiesi’s baby, and they recently discovered that the impending arrival is a boy.
“Every single one of my children is just as special as the other. It’s never a competition,” he began, before noting that he had known about Tiesi’s pregnancy “for a while” and prior to the death of his five-month-old son Zen from cancer in December.
“So even going through all of that, this was always in the back of my mind, like, ‘What is the right time? How do I share this?’ No one, we didn’t expect Zen to pass away… All of the news was so unexpected.”
Cannon went on to share that he has faced a lot of “guilt” in the wake of Zen’s passing but is grateful for the support of the tot’s mother, Alyssa Scott, and the rest of his family.
“I wanted to definitely respect the grieving process with Alyssa, and Bre was respectful enough – she held off making our announcements and speaking on social media. She’s a very, you know, in the public eye type of person, but keeps her stuff private as well,” the 41-year-old continued.
“And it was just one of those things like, you know, I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t know what to say when I was dealing with Zen or to hold off. Even right now, that it came out yesterday, that wasn’t planned to talk about it. We wanted to, you know, hold on as long as we can, but it happened. We here, and I’m with my family I get to discuss it. I get to be open.”
To conclude, Cannon insisted he was very excited to have such a large brood.
“At the end of the day, when a life comes into this world, it’s a celebration. And I’m excited. I’m happy,” he smiled.
The “Masked Singer” presenter is the father to 10-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe with his ex-wife Mariah Carey. He also shares two children – Golden and Powerful Queen – with Brittany Bell and twins Zion and Zillion, who were born in June, with DJ Abby De La Rosa.
Bre Tiesi was previously married to American football star Johnny Manziel between 2018 and 2021. Their divorce was finalized in November.
Papi Versace, aka the “Commitment” maestro is coming in hot this year after a quiet 2021 in the music foray, but news of his project marks a new era for the Atlantic City purveyor.
R&B/Hip-Hop artist Papi Versace has announced the sequel to his laudable 2020 debut Visions, and we are excited. After releasing the first single, “Commitment, to usher in the energy he will be channeling for this new season of his art, showman Papi Versace is excited to finally let the cat out the bag — Visions II is arriving in late March, reportedly.
“I want people to see who I am as an artist through my next album. My first album was just to prove I could do it, but this second project is full of emotion and grit,” he announced to Remixd Mag before actually sharing an unequivocal date of late March.
Papi – who has had his fair share of adversity, given that he used to do door-to-door pest control delivery in Houston, Texas, has since grown in stature and in his celebrity in to a public figure that dabbles in the crafts of fashion, modelling, photography, and music – which he concedes is his first love. It is projected he will be combing through themes of relationships, success, and the trials he has encountered while on the ladder to reach this apex he realizes he is currently at.
“This project is mainly about coming to fruition as an artist struggling to maintain personal relationships, he says. “Which is something I feel that all successful artists go through at some point in their careers.”
Meanwhile, the jubilant artist and all-around purveyor has also disclosed that he is finally about taking his craft seriously with dreams of being a seminal act in the music industry never seeming so close, and putting his childhood dreams in the front seat are some of his biggest ambitions.
“Honestly what inspired me to dedicate myself to music entirely was the feeling of the vision of having influence over the masses. I want to put that to greater use later in life, but I feel like music is the best outlet you can use to truly speak your truth,” he said.
If you’re into an artist with buttery vocals, showmanship, unquestionable bravado, and overt sensualism, this is your queue. Check out “Commitment” by Papi Versace below.
I bet there are people that are going to crack jokes and make light of this, but I believe it is going down. I definitely cannot say who, but I can say that a rapper of note is going to be accused of some serious sexual infraction dealing with a woman.
This particular rapper has had numerous issues through the years, but never violating a woman. He has been regarded as a good dude of sorts, but a bit of a narcissist. Anyway, if this particular woman decides to come forward, he is likely to suffer all kinds of repurcussions, because what’s left of his reputation will be destroyed.
Unfortunately, I cannot offer too many details other than this person – already controversial – really stands to lose it all! I do not even like him like that, but I am not wishing the wrath he’s facing on anybody except Donald Trump.
You know when Wiz links up with his longtime producer homie Sledgren it’s going down. Tune in to this high quality visual from the Wizard aka Wiz Khalifa himself as he gets Fedd The God on this new track “Dr. Dankenstie” an obvious ode to his favorite pastime of rolling up BIG dank and puffing loud.
While artists may be the ones in the limelight, the producers are the real MVPs. Izybeats, the Grammy-winning producer, songwriter, and recording artist who’s here to take the music industry to new levels. Izybeats is best known for his international sound, spanning the genres of Afrobeat, reggae, dancehall, R&B, and hip-hop, but it’s his tag line — “Yo Izy, are you kidding me?!” — that music-lovers will recognize most.
Izybeats describes himself as an “honest, positive, creative, individual that’s trying to put on for the culture, trying to bring it to the next level. Especially where I’m from, the island of Jamaica that’s so small but very powerful when it comes to music.”
Coming from true humble beginnings, Izy went from beating on the desks at his school to teaching himself how to work Fruity Loops via Youtube.
Fast forward to 2022, he’s had the pleasure of producing Koffee’s standout viral bit “Toast,” which deemed him a Grammy for Best Reggae Album. His all-star catalog of smash records also include Jorja Smith’s “Be Honest” featuring Burna Boy, Bad Gyal’s “44,” and Masego’s “Silver Tongue Devil” (which deemed him his second Grammy nomination).
AllHipHop: How’s it over there in Miami?
Izybeats: Miami is awesome. As you can see, I’m thin. I’m wearing thin clothes. I’m comfortable. Miami is becoming a hub right now, it’s getting crazy. It’s amazing, I just wish the pop world would move here from LA. [laughs]
AllHipHop: Is the pop world where you resonate most?
Izybeats: Not necessarily, but they definitely get me in sessions in the pop world in LA. Whenever I’m there.
AllHipHop: What does Jamaica mean to you?
Izybeats: Jamaica is everything to me. It’s home. It’s the place where I go to reset my mind when I’m ready to get out of the craziness, to reset and come back. Remind myself of where the culture is really originally from.
AllHipHop: Biggest influences coming up?
Izybeats: Timbaland is one of my greatest influences as far as a producer. The lyrics were there, but I’d always listened to the beats and production. Timbaland was one of the people that is creatively insane.
AllHipHop: Was there a turning point in your music career where you felt “I can do this now”?
Izybeats: Oh definitely. It was a point when I was in high school and got my first computer. I learned about Fruity Loops, which is one of the easiest software programs to start out with. Once I figured out “oh wow, this is what they do? This is how you put together a beat?,” I thought “man, I could really do this.” I was 16 or 17 at the time, that’s when I hopped in. I said “alright, maybe I need to try this and see where I can go from here.”
AllHipHop: How did you learn Fruity Loops?
Izybeats: It was all self-taught. I learned by trial and error. At the time, YouTube started coming out so it was a little bit of information there, but it was mostly Googling and YouTubing and learning on my own.
AllHipHop: What’s the inspiration behind your name?
Izybeats: It’s my brother David Lyn, he’s an artist himself. We’ve been doing music for years, since he was 12 and I was producing all his stuff. He said “you need a name. You need a producer name.” At the time, nobody knew about tags. Tags weren’t popular, none of that stuff was out yet. He said “You need to call yourself Yaadman Izy.” I’m like “what?” [laughs] Just out of nowhere: Yaadman Izy, then I shortened it to Izy. Once I found my tag, “Yo Izy are you kidding me?,” I just ran with that. It became the more popular part.
AllHipHop: “Toast” by Koffee won you a Grammy, can you bring us back to that moment?
Izybeats: That moment is incredible. It’s all God, to tell you the truth. My manager and friend Ron, I met him and he brought some artists that he was managing at the time to the studio to work with me. In the process of working with them, I created the “Toast” beat from scratch. From nothing, I created it from nowhere. The artists that he brought, they did a song to the beat. A week passed and Ron messaged me and said, “There’s a girl in Jamaica who did a song to the beat.” I said, “Let me hear it.” He played it and it was undeniably good. We couldn’t downplay it, we knew it was something special when we heard it. I found out he sent the beat by mistake to Walshy Fire, that’s how the process started. He sent it to Koffee, she ended up doing an incredible song on the beat.
AllHipHop: He sent it to Walshy Fire by accident?!
Izybeats: It was an accident. [laughs] He had him on the email by accident. You know, knowing Walshy, he has an ear for music. He heard something special and knew what to do.
AllHipHop: How did it feel to see the song go up and win a Grammy?
Izybeats: That right there made everything that I thought wasn’t real, a reality. It really showed me that all the artists I see blow up over the years, Soulja Boy went viral and blew up out of nowhere, it’s real. That can happen for anybody. They say once you get that first blessing, it doesn’t stop. It keeps going. It kept going, it kept on giving. More placements came in, ended up with a Grammy.
It wasn’t a big deal to me at first until I realized that a Grammy is one of the hardest things to accomplish. It didn’t hit home yet, I didn’t realize how special that was. At first, I wasn’t striving to get a Grammy. It wasn’t on my list of things to accomplish. It wasn’t really a thing for me. But when I got it, I started realizing that this is huge! There’s people in the industry who are big, who’ve been in the industry for years and haven’t gotten one. Then little ole me comes out of nowhere, and in one year I got one. It’s crazy.
AllHipHop: What happened after that?
Izybeats: After that, it kept giving. “Be Honest” came about, I went to London and started doing big sessions. I got in the room with Jorja Smith and that became a smash. It kept going from there. I kept creating and more releases kept coming out. It just keeps growing.
AllHipHop: What was it like being in the studio with Jorja Smith?
Izybeats: She’s amazing. Man, it’s humbling. Being in the studio with her or someone her level, you expect her to act like a star. But when you meet her, she’s so humble. She’s such a good person, very honest and real. That made the session even better. The energy was just great. I did the entire session with Cadenza, her producer. It was a flow of good energy and it turned out great. What made it better was when she said, “Oh, Burna Boy owes me a favor.” I’m like “oh!” Once I heard that, I’m like “yeah, this is gonna be special.”
AllHipHop: What was your reaction when you heard it back?
Izybeats: Oh my gosh, When I heard everything together as a whole, I can’t believe I got this. I’m on this. I’m a part of this project, it’s amazing. It turned out successful. Jorja Smith and Burna Boy, who would have known?
AllHipHop: What’s your process when making beats?
Izybeats: My process is very simple. I always pray first. Before I even do sessions, I pray. I pray to make sure the sessions turn out good, make sure the vibe is good and the energy’s good. When I get in there, I tell myself “do what you know to do.” I focus on the music. It always turns out great from there.
AllHipHop: 3 things you need in the studio at all times?
My keyboard, my MIDI keyboard, headphones, my laptop. Honestly, I create from anything. It’s nothing I really need, but sometimes fruits or liquor. I don’t eat too heavy because it makes you want to sleep. [laughs] Once we got some water, some liquor, some fruit, some snacks, we’re good to go.
AllHipHop: What kind of fruits do you like?
Izybeats: Everything, there’s no fruit off limits for me. I like fruits all the way. Watermelon to pineapple, all that. Let me get it.
AllHipHop: Talk about your love for reggae, dancehall, afrobeat, and how it plays into your overall sound.
Izybeats: Growing up in Jamaica, dancehall was everything. It’s heavy on the culture. Growing up, I used to always hear dancehall riddims in the taxis going to school or on the bus. It was a big movement for the culture. It made me become the guy at school who beat the desk. I was a drummer at school. When everybody wanted to do a sound clash, I was the guy playing the drums on the table. It influenced me to become that person and everything grew from that point. Dancehall is a big influence on me and everything that I stand for.
AllHipHop: How do you know when the song is a hit?
Izybeats: Once the energy is incredible in the room and the song comes out sounding good, I know it’s going to be special just because of the energy we put in there. Good vibes lead to good hits. So once I see the artist is happy, I know they’re gonna want it. I know they’re gonna use it. Once they’re in a good vibe and they love what they’re hearing and they’re dancing, you know it’s gonna go. For sure. I even got footage of Jorja dancing too, before the song came out. [laughs] I’ll put that out later.
AllHipHop: Talk about working with Oxlade, love him!
Izybeats: That’s my dude, he’s awesome. He’s an amazing, amazing guy! As soon as I walked in, I felt like I already knew him. It’s that kind of energy. For years, we’d been talking about working together and it never happened because he’s all the way in Nigeria and I’m all the way over here. We’ve always been talking over Instagram and WhatsApp: “oh can’t wait to link man.” The minute we linked we made something crazy. Definitely.
AllHipHop: How did you get your producer tag: “Yo Izy, are you kidding me?”
Izybeats: It was a blessing, it just happened. Just like the “Toast” song, it happened. Dilly Chris, he’s a Jamaican artist of mine that I work with. His son, Dillan, was 3 at the time. He’s a dedicated artist. He brings his son to the studio, that’s how bad he wants to be in the studio and record. He always brings his son. His son is always sitting there quietly, waiting for the session to be done.
So in order to cheer him up a little bit, to make him feel better being in the session, I said “go ahead and say something on the mic.” He’s always quiet, he never speaks. I sent him in the booth to say something on the mic, luckily it was recording. I had no idea it was recording. The first thing he said was the tag, “Yo Izy, are you kidding me!?” Out of nowhere. Not even planned or premeditated, nothing. I ran out of the booth to see if it was recording like, “Oh, it was recorded!” And I’ve used that ever since.
AllHipHop: Any goals for yourself at this point in your career?
Izybeats: Right now, it’s to keep it going. To drop my project, my album that I’m working on. I got some stuff that I did with H.E.R., looking forward to that coming out soon. Tecca, just working with more artists I want to work with.
AllHipHop: What else are you excited for this new year?
Izybeats: Taking the music to the next level. Creating more vibes with people who I know are genuine about making music, keep it going from there. Maybe hopefully win another Grammy this year as well. I’m hoping I can get that with Masego. That right there to have 2, it’s crazy.

For the second time in January, some of America’s top HBCUs have been threatened with bomb threats. The FBI has been brought in to work with local police to investigate the scares.
According to CNN, six historically Black colleges and universities received bomb threats on Monday of Jan. 31.
The following institutions were placed on high alert: Southern University and A&M, Howard University, Bethune-Cookman University, Albany State University, Bowie State University, and Delaware State University.
This is the second time in a month that someone has phoned in warnings that explosive devices were left on their campuses.
On Jan. 4, the Atlanta Black Star reports, The University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, Florida Memorial University, Norfolk State University, North Carolina Central University, Prairie View A&M University in Texas, and the nation’s only historically Black and Catholic university, Xavier University of Louisiana were targeted with similar threats.
Howard University was targeted both times.
One of the schools, Southern University and A&M College, canceled classes, mandated students stay in their dormitories, and suspended its operations. The school tweeted, “after a thorough search by the SU Police Department & external law enforcement agencies, the Southern University landmass (Southern University and A&M College, @SouthernULaw, @suagcenter, and @sulabschool) has received an “all clear” in the wake of this morning’s bomb threat.”

The other four schools are on lockdown until further notice.
The National Press Secretary said that the president is aware of the bomb threats. She said, “I will say that these are certainly disturbing and the White House is in touch with interagency partners including federal law enforcement leadership on this.”

Brooklyn Rapper Nas Blixky, whose real name is Nasir Fisher, has reportedly been shot in his head and is currently in critical condition. The Brooklyn Drill artist, as a part of the Blixky family, has been linked in the past to the Cho gang, the rivals to the set of Woo gang — which received national notoriety through its affiliation with the late Pop Smoke.
Fans have taken to social media to send out prayers and to offer condolences, suggesting that the rising star has transitioned.
Hop Blogger believes that Nas Blixky was shot because he dissed another artist PG-16 and likened the possible assassination to rapper FBG Duck’s untimely demise.
“Rapper FBG Duck dropped diss track ‘Dead B***hes’ slating slain gang rivals weeks before he was killed in Chicago Rapper Nas Blixky only previewed and didn’t even get to drop his diss PG-16 and got hit with a friend. Meanwhile Drilla still out here like,” he wrote.

Rapper Nas Blixky only previewed anddidn’t even get to drop his diss PG-16 and got hit with a friend.
He further spotlights Nas EBK, who seems to be claiming responsibility.
“The internet detectives have an early lead on the soon to be next case. Nas EBK is already dissing Nas Blixky and attempting to become the quickest case in internet detective history. This dude,” the blogger tweets.

One of the differences that the Brooklyn D.A.’s office has noticed about these crews is that they are quick to social blab about their gang activity.
“Brooklyn Streets bout to get turnt up Blixky’s will be out on Soul Hunting missions to seek revenge for Nas Blixky. Rappers need to stop dropping songs dissing and enjoying and smoking on dead people because that will get you hit up quickly.”

On Sunday, May 10, 2020, AllHiHop.com reported that Nicky Blixky, whose name was Nicholas Thompson and a leading member in the BK Drill movement before his demise and street brother of Nas B., was murdered. The Jamaica-America’s body was found on Winthrop Street in the Lefferts Garden in Brooklyn at around 9.30 pm after suffering gunshot wounds to his torso. He was declared dead when he reached a Brooklyn hospital.
At the time of his death, Nas Blixky paid tribute to his fallen soldier saying, “my heart broken rest in peace to my brother nick blixk. watch over me brody.”

Elijah Dai’s new single” Over You” illustrates the journey of Elijah attempting to get over a previous relationship, coaching himself in letting go. But it’s easier said than done and who says he really WANTS to let go? This leaves him conflicted with letting go or holding on. The single is produced by Elijah’s longtime collaborator B DaProducer.
Janet Jackson‘s documentary that aired on A&E networks left viewers wondering, are JD and Janet back together?
The 4-hour, 2-part documentary wrapped last night and had fans going crazy on social media! The series really reestablished the incredible star and power that Janet Jackson had…and has. She wasn’t showing off any dance moves or anything, but she looked great!
Jermaine Dupri was one of Ms. Jackson’s exes that was interviewed on her documentary. In fact, he was the only one they talked to in the present-day form. The others were all old interviews and footage. JD and Janet were both complimentary of each other, and they both agreed they felt like they were soul mates.
There also was a part where they listed JD as “Janet Jackson’s Fiancée” and didn’t say “former fiancée.” That struck me as odd. Why wouldn’t they regard him as an ex?
After his unapologetically-Harlem appearance on Funk Flex’s show on HOT 97, including a freestyle that made a lot of people realize why he is one of them ones, Cam’ron says he had to even remind his mother about the monster he is on the mic.
AllHipHop.com reported how Cam’s performance on Flex showed how the 25-year vet is still not to be played with.
Apparently, Mama Giles must have forgotten.
Cam, who we know spares no one, took to social media to let everyone know that his mom watched the freestyle and approved of his performance.
He captioned on Instagram, “My mom @virgie_og DM’d me.. bout @funkflex freestyle 😂 she must of forgot. Had to send her this from 99’… mom I’m on a real 25yr run 🤷🏾♂️$$$$$”

People magazine reports that over the weekend the two revealed the great news while rocking out in New York City. The 33-year-old was spotted glowing like a new mother-to-be (or is it her Fenty bronzer that is always sold out) with a beautiful baby bump.
Rihanna Is Pregnant! Singer and Fashion Icon Expecting First Baby with A$AP Rocky https://t.co/m47yoYLtU4
The two were photographed walking down a random Harlem street with the billionaire pop star’s stomach exposed. Ri Ri, who debut as a teenager with the hit song “S.O.S.” in 2000 and has since been the Princess of Roc-A-Fella/ Roc-Nation, was wearing a full-length pink coat (that seemed to replace her top and bejeweled belted-jeans. Rocky was rocking some leather pants and a denim jacket.
The snow didn’t stop these lovebirds from sharing their January treat with their fans.
Lovebirds they are.
In 2021, during an interview with GQ, the “Fashion Killa” rapper shared that the Bajan bombshell was the “love of his life.”
The 32-year-old, who also has Bajan roots and calls our Hip-Hop shero his “lady,” said that being in a relationship with her is “much better” than any other ones before.
So much better when you got the One. She amounts to probably, like, a million of the other ones.” New-world s###, indeed. Rocky is among our culture’s most unabashed ladies’ men, but he says he’s comfortable embracing monogamy: “I think when you know, you know. She’s the One.”
50 Cent is expanding his television empire once again. The Hip-Hop mogul has decided, according to the rumor mill, to create a television (or movie) version of King Von‘s life.
We all know that King Von was a beloved rapper signed to Lil Durk. And he was really on the way to becoming a bigger store than his big Homie.
Unfortunately, he might’ve been just a little bit too real. In the process of beating somebody’s butt in a fair fight, he was murdered. I am not about to get into the all-mighty minutia of the details in that, but he is still missed and people are still interested in him.
Now, I am hearing that 50 Cent might just be trying to bring his story to life. And I think this could be right on time. The new generation is showing that they care enough about it, and I think the older generation is intrigued by this emerging, oftentimes chaotic, new era.
From what I understand, the person that will play King Von in the series or movie is none other than the same actor that played Bobby Brown in the new addition movie. Woody McClain!
That’s right! Woody McClain is set to play King Von! You might remember, he is also a member of the Power universe, as designed by 50 Cent!
What do you think about this? Is this something that we want to see?
Meek Mill dropped his Expensive Pain album to moderate commercial success in October 2021. It appears the Dream Chasers Records founder is ready to come back with another music project.
Atlantic Records released Expensive Pain as well as 2015’s Dreams Worth More Than Money, 2017’s Wins & Losses, and 2018’s Grammy-nominated Championships. However, Meek Mill claims his forthcoming music will be independent efforts.
“It’s about to come back around again,” tweeted Meek Mill on Sunday morning. About 50 minutes later the Philadelphia native added, “I’m tryna drop some shot once a week until I drop.”
Meek returned to the social platform later that afternoon to post, “No major label… So every time I make real money off music… ima invest a million in my hood… off the flow! Pay attention ‘real steppa s###.’
Expensive Pain debuted at #3 on the Billboard 200 chart with 95,000 album-equivalent units. Meek Mill’s fifth studio LP also managed to land ten tracks on Billboard‘s Hot 100, giving Meek a career total of 64 entries on that chart.

Brooklyn-based artist 22Gz has not been afraid to take part in rap feuds. For example, 22Gz went off on Staten Island’s CJ over accusations the “Whoopty” rhymer was stealing the Brooklyn Drill sound.
Additionally, 22Gz had an issue with other New York area rappers. In a new sit-down with HipHopDX, the 24-year-old Flatbush representative is now advising younger rappers to tone down the aggressive rhetoric against rivals in their music.
“All these young n#####, they got heat. I ain’t gonna lie,” said 22Gz. “They got heat. They doing their thing. Just gotta dumb the dissing down cause n##### don’t hear you, n##### straight hear the dissing and say f### the whole song.”
The affiliate of Florida rapper Kodak Black’s Sniper Gang added, “It’s how you diss though… A n####’s moms can’t hear that type s###… Are you really trying to make it or what?”
Plus, the interview included 22Gz naming his Top 5 rappers from New York City. The Growth & Development mixtape creator listed 50 Cent, Jadakiss, Jay-Z, The Notorious B.I.G., and himself.
Nearly one year ago in February 2021, AllHipHop spoke to 22Gz about his issues with other NYC rhymers like CJ and Tekashi 6ix9ine. 22Gz dropped The Blixky Tape 2 project the following month.
The Blixky Tape 2 arrived two years after The Blixky Tape. That 2019 Atlantic Records release is credited as one of the essential projects in the Brooklyn Drill movement which also includes acts such as Bobby Shmurda, Pop Smoke, Fivio Foreign, and Sheff G.
