Drake Calls “Big Cap” On Plus-Size Model’s Claims He Banned Her From Parties

Drake found himself at the center of a fresh relationship controversy after Panamanian Instagram model Gracie Bon revealed details about their alleged romantic connection during a recent podcast appearance.

The 28-year-old plus-size influencer disclosed on La Casa de Alofoke that she began communicating with the “God’s Plan” rapper in 2020 through a simple direct message on Instagram.

“I liked him as an artist, and since I sent him a message, I said ‘hola’, two minutes after something had happened, we gave each other a follow,” Bon explained during the interview.

According to Bon, their digital correspondence evolved into an in-person meeting in 2021 when Drake traveled to Colombia for the Estereo Picnic festival. The model, who had recently finalized her divorce, claimed their relationship developed after this initial encounter.

“When I got divorced in 2021 2022. He went to Columbia to a festival called Estereo Picnic and that’s where he asked me that if I wanted to go and stuff and I already had my tickets purchased,” she stated.

Bon, who boasts over 11 million Instagram followers and serves as a Fashion Nova brand ambassador, alleged that Drake referenced her in his collaborative track “Gently” with Bad Bunny.

The model, who openly discusses living with lipedema—a chronic condition causing abnormal fat buildup in the legs and other body parts—said their relationship continued for several months.

However, Bon claims the connection soured during a trip to the United Kingdom involving content creator Adin Ross. She alleged that Drake subsequently blacklisted her from exclusive parties across the UK.

“The problem was there was a stream with g##### named Adin Ross.. He invited everyone who was there for us to go to a concert in UK and as soon as I got there with my friend, I basically got blacklisted from every party,” Bon revealed.

The model suggested she witnessed behavior that altered her perception of the Grammy-winning artist, though she remained vague about specific details.

“I mean, I was like this is not the person I admired, that I was talking about and that was when it all ended… I can see why didn’t want me to witnessing,” she said.

Bon has built a substantial social media presence by promoting body positivity and luxury fashion content. Her advocacy for lipedema awareness has resonated with millions of followers who appreciate her transparency about the medical condition that affects approximately 1 in 72,000 people.

The allegations emerge as Drake continues navigating public scrutiny over his personal relationships.

The Toronto native has previously been linked to high-profile figures, including Rihanna, SZA, and various personalities in the entertainment industry.

Drake denied the claims during a stream where Adin Ross was discussing the allegations, calling them “Big cap” in the comment section.

EXCLUSIVE: Ol’ Dirty Bastard Estate Targets Global Counterfeiters In Multi-Million Dollar Battle

Ol’ Dirty Bastard launched a posthumous legal attack from beyond the grave as his estate filed a sweeping federal lawsuit accusing online counterfeiters of flooding e-commerce sites with unauthorized merchandise bearing his name and image.

His estate is targeting dozens of anonymous sellers allegedly operating under false identities across platforms like Amazon, eBay, Walmart and SHEIN.

The estate claims the defendants have been “knowingly and willfully” selling bootleg ODB-branded products to American customers without any legal right to do so.

The estate of Russell Jones—better known as Ol’ Dirty Bastard—says the knockoff items include clothing, posters, action figures and other goods that misuse his registered trademarks. The lawsuit alleges the counterfeiters are causing “irreparable harm” by confusing buyers and weakening the value of ODB’s brand.

“These sellers are exploiting the late rapper’s legacy for profit,” the complaint says, accusing them of creating a “sophisticated web of counterfeit storefronts” that mimic legitimate outlets. The estate argues the sellers are hiding behind aliases and operating from overseas to dodge legal consequences.

The estate is managed by Icelene Jones, ODB’s widow, along with his children Taniqua, Bar-sun, Shaquita and Allah McCall.

They are seeking up to $2 million in statutory damages per trademark violation and are asking the court to issue an immediate injunction to stop the sales.

The estate says it holds several federally registered trademarks for both “Ol’ Dirty Bastard” and “ODB,” covering music, entertainment services and apparel. The lawsuit describes these marks as “famous and valuable assets” that are “instantly recognizable” to consumers around the world.

According to the complaint, the counterfeiters are abusing the reach and anonymity of the internet to siphon money away from the estate’s licensed partners. The estate argues that without court intervention, the damage to ODB’s legacy will continue to mount.

The estate is also asking the court to order e-commerce platforms to freeze the sellers’ accounts and remove the infringing listings. The lawsuit does not name specific individuals but refers to the defendants as operating under various aliases and using tactics to avoid detection.

The estate believes the sellers are based in foreign jurisdictions, making enforcement more difficult without federal court involvement.

ODB rose to fame in the 1990s as a founding member of the Wu-Tang Clan.

His solo hits like “Shimmy Shimmy Ya” and “Brooklyn Zoo” cemented his place in Hip-Hop history, while collaborations such as Mariah Carey’s “Fantasy (Remix)” and Pras and Mýa’s “Ghetto Supastar” brought him mainstream recognition.

The rap star died on November 13, 2004, after collapsing at a Manhattan recording studio. He was 35. A medical examiner later ruled his death an accidental overdose caused by a lethal mix of cocaine and the prescription painkiller Tramadol.


Navigating Texas Insurance: A Deep Dive into Plan for Freedom’s Location

By: Staff Writer Updated Category: Uncategorized
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

In the expansive and varied terrain of Texas, securing the right insurance coverage demands more than generic advice—it requires tools tailored to local realities. From hurricane-prone coasts to hail-susceptible plains, factors like weather, population density, and regional regulations heavily influence home and auto insurance options. Plan for Freedom, a Texas-focused insurance comparison service, addresses this with two dedicated webpages: one for home insurance locations served and another for car insurance locations served.

These resources provide clear, hyperlinked directories of covered areas, enabling users to quickly access personalized quotes. By referencing these pages, this article explores their structure, content, and unparalleled helpfulness in simplifying insurance shopping for Texans.

The Value of Location-Specific Insurance Guidance

Texas’s insurance market is competitive yet complex, with rates fluctuating based on zip codes and local risks. Traditional aggregators often force users to enter details before revealing availability, leading to wasted time. Plan for Freedom’s approach counters this by prioritizing transparency. Their home insurance page lists over 500 cities across five regions, while the car insurance page covers two major metro areas with hundreds of locations.

This setup not only confirms service eligibility upfront but also links directly to quote tools, fostering efficiency and trust. In a state where home insurance averages $4,000 annually and auto around $2,000—higher than national figures due to natural disasters and traffic—these pages empower consumers to compare and save without commitment.

Exploring the Home Insurance Locations Served Page

The home insurance locations served page is a model of user-friendly design, organized into five regional sections for easy navigation. Each section uses markdown headers like “## San Antonio & Surrounding Areas:” followed by tables of hyperlinked city names. This structure allows quick scanning, with entries formatted as “City Name Home Insurance (URL)” leading to dedicated comparison pages. For instance, users in Alamo Heights can click to a page for shopping rates specific to that locale.

Key Regions and Coverage for Home Insurance

The page divides Texas into logical geographic clusters, ensuring comprehensive statewide reach:

  • San Antonio & Surrounding Areas: This section covers about 50 locations, including urban centers like San Antonio, New Braunfels, and Schertz, alongside rural spots such as Ozona and Val Verde Parks. It’s ideal for those in the Hill Country, where risks like flooding or wildfires vary.
  • Austin & Surrounding Areas: Encompassing around 50 cities, from Austin and Round Rock to outlying areas like Wyldwood and Weimar. This caters to the tech boom region, factoring in urban growth and occasional severe weather.
  • Greater Houston & Southeast Texas: The largest section with over 150 entries, spanning Houston, Galveston, and Beaumont to smaller towns like Winnie and Woodville. Critical for coastal residents facing hurricane threats, it highlights providers versed in flood-inclusive policies.
  • West Texas: About 50 locations, including El Paso, Lubbock, and Amarillo, plus places like Fort Stockton and Wolfforth. This arid region’s focus might include dust storms or extreme temperatures affecting home structures.
  • South Texas: Covering roughly 70 spots like Corpus Christi, McAllen, and Laredo, extending to border towns such as Zapata and Roma. It addresses unique needs like tropical storms and high winds.

This regional breakdown is helpful because it visualizes coverage clusters, aiding relocators or those comparing nearby options. The hyperlinks streamline the process: no forms required to check availability, just a click to quotes tailored to local perils.

The Car Insurance Locations Served Page: Focused and Efficient

This page reflects high-demand zones where over half of Texans reside, making it a targeted resource for drivers navigating dense traffic or flood-prone roads.Regions Covered for Car InsuranceThe page is divided into:

  • Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex: Over 120 locations, from major hubs like Dallas, Fort Worth, and Arlington to suburbs such as Frisco, McKinney, and even outliers like Texarkana and Wichita Falls (though the latter might extend beyond strict DFW). Examples include Addison, Aledo, and Allen, with links to pages highlighting ways to reduce premiums amid urban congestion.
  • Greater Houston & Southeast Texas: Though the provided content focuses heavily on DFW, the page’s title and context imply a similar extensive list for Houston, including cities like Alvin, Atascocita, Baytown, and The Woodlands, as seen in parallel home insurance coverage. This region addresses factors like humid conditions accelerating vehicle wear or high theft rates in metros.
  • San Antonio: Cities like New Braunfels and Alamo Heights

By limiting to these mega-regions, the page ensures depth over breadth, helping users in high-traffic areas find insurers familiar with local claims, such as those from Houston’s flooding or DFW’s hail events.

How These Pages Enhance User Experience and Promote Savings

Beyond listings, the true helpfulness of both pages lies in their integration with Plan for Freedom’s comparison ecosystem. Users aren’t left with static info; each city link opens a gateway to aggregating quotes from multiple providers, often with tips on bundling or discounts.

For example, a Cibolo resident on the home page can access San Antonio-area rates, potentially saving hundreds by comparing hail-resistant policies. Similarly, a Pearland driver on the car page might discover lower premiums through usage-based options suited to suburban commutes.These resources shine in educating users implicitly.

By grouping locations, they encourage consideration of geographic influences—why premiums in tornado-prone Amarillo differ from those in flood-vulnerable Galveston. This awareness leads to informed choices, like adding comprehensive coverage for West Texas dust damage or liability boosts for DFW highways. For underserved areas, such as rural West Texas towns or South Texas border communities, inclusion ensures access to competitive options often overlooked by national sites.In a digital-first era, the pages’ mobile-friendly tables and lack of intrusive ads enhance usability.

They’re particularly beneficial for busy demographics: young professionals in Austin, families in Houston suburbs, or retirees in San Antonio. While the home page offers broader coverage, the car page’s focus complements it, allowing seamless bundling exploration. Drawbacks are minor— no direct contact details or out-of-state options—but the emphasis on Texas-specific deregulation (promoting competition) outweighs them.

Conclusion: Empowering Texans Through Transparent Tools

Plan for Freedom’s home and car insurance locations served pages exemplify how specialized online resources can demystify insurance. By providing detailed, clickable directories across key regions, they eliminate guesswork, save time, and facilitate real savings in a high-cost state. Whether protecting a Lubbock ranch from storms or insuring a Katy SUV against floods, these tools put control in users’ hands. Visit Home insurance locations near me and Car insurance locations near me to experience their utility firsthand—your next policy could be just a click away.

Skrilla Makes History, “6-7′” Becomes Word Of The Year Despite Number Controversy

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Category: News
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

Skrilla made Hip-Hop history when Dictionary.com crowned his viral “6-7” meme as the 2025 Word of the Year, but the Philadelphia rapper’s numerical creation has divided linguists and internet users alike.

The 26-year-old artist’s track, “Doot Doot (6 7),” exploded across social media platforms throughout 2025, with searches for “67” increasing more than sixfold since June, according to Dictionary.com’s announcement.

The bizarre meme originated from Skrilla‘s stream-of-consciousness approach to music creation.

“[67] just represents my brain.. like what comes up in my head,” Skrilla explained during a recent Genius interview. “Everybody that I played it for f***ed wit’ it but it was like funny.”

The rapper revealed that he initially leaked the song on Instagram to gauge his “zombies” fan base’s reaction before its official release.

“I liked it though so I end up leaking it on my instagram to see what my fans thought.. and that s**t went crazy,” he said.

Dictionary.com’s decision to select a number as its word of the year has generated significant backlash from traditional language purists who argue that numerical sequences don’t qualify as legitimate words.

The controversy intensified when the publication suggested “67” could mean “so-so” or “maybe this, maybe that.”

For Skrilla, the meaning runs deeper than internet randomness.

“For me, it’s just ‘negative to positive,'” he explained. “It helped me turn from a negative person to a positive person.”

The meme gained additional momentum when 6’7″ Charlotte Hornets player LaMelo Ball became associated with viral clips featuring the song’s hook.

Basketball fans began connecting the player’s height to Skrilla‘s numerical chant, creating a perfect storm of sports and Hip-Hop culture convergence.

Generation Z and Alpha has embraced “67” as their latest tool for confusing older generations, using it as a response to virtually any question or statement.

The phrase has appeared in countless TikTok videos, sports broadcasts and everyday conversations, cementing its place in contemporary slang.

Dictionary.com noted that “most other two-digit numbers had no meaningful trend over that period, implying that there is something special about ’67.'”

The publication’s annual word selection typically highlights how language evolves through popular culture, making Skrilla‘s contribution a testament to Hip-Hop’s continued influence on mainstream communication and the genre’s unmatched ability to create linguistic trends that transcend traditional boundaries and capture global attention.

Plus-Size Model Gracie Bon Claims She Dated Drake—But Things Got “Weird”

Gracie Bon and Drake? What the…

These two are trending heavy right now and you know why. The Panamanian model has sent social media into panic mode claiming she once dated the Certified Lover Boy. Bon stars on La Casa De Alofoke, a reality show, and made the wild revelation in a casual group convo. When it broke on Sunday (November 2), I was watching football, but today…I have time.

According to Bon, she and Drake were romantically involved. She said it didn’t end well.

“I feel like famous people do weird things, but they don’t understand…” she said in her native language. She continued saying she cut him off after witnessing some unspecified unsettling behavior. She then accused Drake of blackballing her.

Wait a second, it gets worse. She claims that there was considerable truth in Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” but didn’t get too specific. Folks are now clamoring about what parts are true and real.

There’s one problem with her claims. There’s zero public record of Bon and Drake ever being an item. No pictures, no sightings, no bars…hold up.

People don’t know what to believe. Some folks are calling cap and others are saying, “Sounds about right.”

But Drake actually commented saying, “big cap… black balled is crazy.” And then there was ever more chaos online.

What we have now is a classic case of “he said, she said”—straight out of rap’s reality TV era. One thing is for sure: Gracie Bon’s stock just went way up.

Thanks, Drake! This is the first time Gracie has been on AHH.

50 Cent Buys 20 Properties In Shreveport For $50 Million “Economic District” Project

By: London Jennn Updated Category: News
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

50 Cent dropped $50 million into real estate and entertainment infrastructure in Shreveport, Louisiana, aiming to turn the city into a Southern media powerhouse.

The Hip-Hop mogul has quietly acquired 20 properties across the city as part of his “50 Cent Economic District” initiative, a sweeping plan to revitalize Shreveport’s downtown and create a production hub for his G-Unit Films & Television Louisiana LLC.

50 Cent’s team confirmed that the purchases include a $1.02 million multi-lot property at 301 Spring Street, a $150,000 building at 401 Spring Street, and a vacant parcel for $76,872, which now houses a temporary dome with permanent plans.

50 Cent locked in a 30-year lease for the city-owned Stageworks Louisiana facility, a former soundstage, for just $200 a month. The deal, approved by the Shreveport City Council on March 25, 2025, gives the rapper’s company full control of the space to produce television shows, films and other content.

“In the short period of time, I’ve come to like the people of Shreveport differently,” he said during a ceremony where Mayor Tom Arceneaux presented him with a key to the city. “It feels like home for me, and eventually it’ll be home because I have some work to do.”

According to Gerod Durden, CEO of the Durden Property Group and 50’s real estate partner, the Queens native is now the largest private landowner in Shreveport. “We’re in the range of 20 properties. We’ve secured some properties this week,” Durden told KTAL.

50 Cent confirmed the expansion on Instagram, writing, “I’m working on it people give me a minute. All roads lead to SHREVEPORT.”

50 Cent Vows To “Overdeliver” In Shreveport

The timing of his investment is notable. Shreveport was recently ranked the fifth most “needy” city in the U.S. by a 2024 Wallethub study, citing high unemployment and a crime rate more than twice the national average. But 50 Cent sees potential where others see decline.

His plan includes a proposed two percent sales tax in the Red River District and parts of Texas Street to help fund the redevelopment. Mayor Arceneaux estimates the initiative will generate at least $1 million in capital investment and create 10 new jobs.

The rapper’s G-Unit team is already mapping out several projects for 2026, including two reality shows, one scripted series and a possible feature film. He also emphasized hiring locally to ensure Shreveport residents benefit directly from the venture.

“I promise you, I’ll overdeliver with Shreveport,” 50 Cent told the City Council. “I have programs and plans for the facilities, so you’ll be able to look at the things that are happening throughout the year, and it’ll be actively used in a different way.”

Beyond film and television, 50 Cent’s strategy includes drawing government support to further boost the region. Orville Hall, a growth advisor for G-Unit, said 50 Cent’s involvement is being used as leverage to attract additional public funding.

“What 50 is really doing is he is graciously let me, the city, the mayor, and the city council use him as leverage to say to the state, ‘He started [investing] – would you contribute to Shreveport, to north Louisiana,'” Hall said.

How to Watch Hulu in Europe: The Guide to Unblocking the Hulu Anywhere

By: Staff Writer Updated Category: Uncategorized
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

You know what’s most frustrating about the streaming era? When you hear about a show everyone’s talking about, go to the platform, and see: “Content unavailable in your region.” It’s especially disappointing when it comes to Hulu. While Americans enjoy fresh episodes of The Bear or Dopesick, Europeans can only dream of accessing this content.

But let’s not forget: even during Prohibition, people found ways to get their spirits. So we’re not in a dead end here either. Geographic restrictions are just digital barriers, and modern technology allows us to bypass them. VPN, gift cards, and a few simple tricks open up Hulu anywhere in the world. And you don’t need to be an IT genius to enjoy your favorite shows.

In this guide, I’ll explain how to do this step by step — from registration to your first click on play, and I’ll even share life hacks for painless payment and high-quality viewing.

Why Hulu Is Unavailable in Europe

Let’s figure out why such a popular platform as Hulu simply ignores an entire continent. It’s not that the company doesn’t like you — it’s about licensing agreements for content. Each series or movie has separate rights for different regions. “The Handmaid’s Tale” may belong to Hulu in the US, but the broadcast rights in the UK are already sold to Channel 4. In Germany, the same series may be streamed by a completely different platform.

These agreements cost millions of dollars, and studios try to maximize profits by selling rights separately for each market. So Hulu technically can’t just launch the service in France or Spain, even if they really wanted to. They would have to re-sign thousands of contracts, which means years of negotiations and astronomical sums.

How Hulu Determines Your Location

The platform isn’t spying on you via satellite (though sometimes it seems that way). It simply looks at your IP address. This is a unique number assigned to your internet connection by your provider. This address easily determines the country, city, and even specific area. When you access Hulu from Poland, Italy, or any other European country, the site instantly sees you’re not in the US and blocks access.

The geo-blocking system works automatically. Even if you have a valid American payment card and are ready to pay full price for a subscription, the site still won’t let you in. If your IP address is European, the content is unavailable to you. Harsh, but true.

VPN: Your Key to American Content

If you’re asking yourself, ‘Can I get Hulu in Spain?’  —  the answer is simple: yes, with the right VPN, it’s completely possible!

VPN (Virtual Private Network) works like a digital tunnel. Your traffic goes through a server in the US, and Hulu sees an American IP address instead of your real one from Barcelona or Warsaw. To the platform, you look like a regular user from California or New York.

But there’s a catch. Hulu knows about VPN existence and actively blocks known servers. If you try to connect through a cheap or popular free VPN, you’ll most likely see an error message. The platform maintains lists of IP addresses belonging to VPN providers and constantly updates them.

That’s why it’s important to choose a VPN that regularly updates its servers and has many IP addresses in reserve. When Hulu blocks one address, a good VPN instantly switches you to another. It’s a constant game of cat and mouse, but quality services usually win.

Connection Speed Matters

Imagine: you finally got access to Hulu, launched a new season of “Only Murders in the Building” (just kidding, promised variety!), and the picture keeps buffering. This is a classic slow VPN problem. Your traffic takes an extra detour through a US server, which automatically slows down the connection.

Free VPNs are especially guilty of low speed. They limit bandwidth to save on servers. Result: instead of enjoying the show, you waste your nerves on buffering. For HD streaming, you need a minimum speed of 5 Mbps, for 4K — a full 25 Mbps. If your VPN can’t provide such performance, get ready for pixelation and freezes.

Paid VPNs usually don’t limit speed and have more powerful servers. Some even offer specially optimized connections for streaming platforms. Yes, you’ll have to pay $5-10 per month, but the quality will be incomparably higher.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Accessing Hulu

Step 1: Choose a Reliable VPN

The first and most important step is choosing a VPN that definitely works with Hulu. You need it to bypass geoblocks and “show” the platform that you’re in the US. Download the app to your device — computer, smartphone, tablet, or even Smart TV. Installation on Mac or Windows takes just a few minutes, on phones — even faster. The main thing is to make sure the VPN supports streaming video without lags, especially if you’re planning 4K.

If, for example, you’re in Poland, check out the service like usa-ip — it’s specially optimized for this region. And actually, it’s suitable for other European countries too, because the principle of connecting to Hulu is almost the same everywhere.

Step 2: Connect to an American Server

Open the VPN and select a server in the US. Some services even mark which specific servers work with Hulu — use this information. After connecting, your IP address changes to an American one, and Hulu thinks you’re on another continent. For Smart TV or set-top boxes, you usually need to connect through a router or a separate app on the TV itself.

Step 3: Create a Hulu Account

Now you can go to hulu.com and register. Here comes a small complication — payment must be made through an American payment card. For Europeans, there are several solutions:

  • Virtual cards that support payment in the US
  • PayPal linked to an American card
  • Hulu gift cards that can be purchased online and entered as a code during registration

On a mobile device or tablet, the process is the same, just use the Hulu app downloaded from the App Store or Google Play (if it doesn’t show up, change the store region through VPN).

Step 4: Set Up Devices for Comfortable Viewing

  • Mac/Windows: open Hulu through a browser or app. Make sure VPN is enabled before each launch.
  • Smart TV/console: it’s most convenient to connect VPN on the router or use special apps if the TV supports them.
  • Phone/tablet: use the official Hulu app from the App Store or Google Play by changing the store region or through VPN.

Step 5: Enjoy the Content

Everything’s ready! Now you can watch Fleishman Is in Trouble, Reservation Dogs, or classic hits like Atlanta. The main thing is to always connect the VPN before going to Hulu, otherwise the service will show the block again.

Why It’s Worth Spending Time on Setup

Hulu’s library is impressive. Over 80,000 TV show episodes and 2,500+ movies. This isn’t just a streaming service, it’s an entire universe of content. Want to watch “The Act” about true crime? Done. Looking for something light like “What We Do in the Shadows”? No problem. And there are Hulu Originals, series and movies that come out exclusively on the platform.

It’s worth separately mentioning the ability to watch live TV. For an additional fee, you can get access to over 85 American TV channels in real time. ESPN for sports, CNN for news, FX for series. This is especially interesting for those who want to experience the atmosphere of American television without leaving home in Portugal or the Czech Republic.

Hulu vs Other Platforms in Europe

Netflix and Amazon Prime Video are available worldwide, but their catalogs differ significantly by region. American Netflix has 40% more content than European. With Hulu, the situation is even harsher — it doesn’t exist outside the US at all (well, and partially Japan, but that’s a separate story).

Disney+ is also available in Europe, but interestingly, some Disney content goes through Hulu in the US due to complex licensing agreements signed even before Disney+ launched. So even having Disney+ in Germany or Austria, you won’t see some series that are exclusive to Hulu.

Is It Worth It or Not

If you love quality series and are ready to spend 15 minutes on setup, it’s definitely worth it. A Hulu subscription costs from $7.99 per month with ads or $17.99 without. Plus the cost of VPN, approximately $5-10 per month. In total, it comes out to $13-28 monthly. Is that a lot? Depends on how much you watch.

If you turn on at least 2-3 series per month, it’ll already pay off. “The Bear” alone is worth the subscription, seriously. Or “Normal People” if you love British dramas with American production quality. There’s also “Ramy,” an incredibly funny comedy about a Muslim family in New Jersey that you won’t find anywhere in Europe legally.

Technical Nuances

On which devices does Hulu work with VPN? Practically all of them. Windows and Mac computers, certainly. iOS and Android smartphones are also supported. It’s more complicated with smart TVs and streaming devices like Roku or Amazon Fire Stick. There you’ll have to either install VPN directly on the router or use Smart DNS.

Smart DNS is an alternative to VPN that doesn’t encrypt traffic but simply changes DNS servers. Speed is higher, but security is less. Suitable if you only need access to Hulu without additional data protection. Many VPN providers offer Smart DNS bundled with the main subscription.

Final Thoughts: Why It’s Worth a Try

Yes, Hulu is officially unavailable in Europe. Yes, it takes a few extra steps to get it running. But if you’re a true fan of TV shows and want to watch what the entire English-speaking internet is buzzing about, there’s really no other way. Netflix and HBO Max are great, of course, but Hulu has unique content you simply can’t find anywhere else.

VPNs are no longer just tools for paranoid techies or hackers. Today, they’re a normal part of digital life  —  especially for people who travel a lot or just want access to global content. Set it up once, and from there everything works seamlessly.

If you live in Italy, Sweden, the Netherlands, or any other European country and are still hesitating, the answer is simple: give it a try. Most VPNs offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. You can test everything risk-free, see that it works, and decide: like it  —  keep it; don’t  —  get your money back. All for access to thousands of hours of your favorite shows and series that once felt out of reach.

Security Guard Seeks Second Crack At Cardi B Over Alleged Assault

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Category: News
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

Cardi B stood her ground in court and walked away victorious, but her legal fight with Emani Ellis is far from over, as the former security guard is now pushing for a new trial over a 2018 confrontation at a Beverly Hills medical office.

After a jury in Alhambra Superior Court swiftly cleared Cardi B in September of all assault and battery allegations, Ellis filed paperwork Friday seeking to overturn the verdict.

Her attorney told Judge Ian Fusselman that they will argue on December 5 that the jury’s decision lacked sufficient evidence and was legally flawed.

The lawsuit stems from a February 24, 2018, incident at a Wilshire Boulevard OB-GYN clinic. Ellis was working security and Cardi B was four months pregnant with her first child.

Ellis accused the Bronx rap star of attacking her without warning, claiming she was hit in the face and body, spat on, and verbally abused with racial slurs.

Ellis also alleged that Cardi B ordered another guard to restrain her during the altercation and said the ordeal left her with long-term psychological damage, including PTSD, anxiety and insomnia. She sued for assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence and false imprisonment.

But Cardi B, born Belcalis Marlenis Almanzar, denied ever laying a hand on Ellis. “It was a verbal altercation. She didn’t hit me. I didn’t hit her. There was no touch. So to me it wasn’t no incident,” she testified in August.

The rapper admitted to calling Ellis a “b****” but firmly denied spitting on her or using racial slurs. “Absolutely not,” she said when asked if she spat on Ellis.

Cardi B told the court that the dispute started when she noticed Ellis recording her as she entered the clinic. At the time, her pregnancy had not yet been made public. “Yo, why are you recording me?” she said she asked Ellis, who allegedly replied, “Cuz I can,” and continued following her.

“Now she’s like in front of me where I can’t even really maneuver,” Cardi B testified. “And I’m like, ‘Ain’t you supposed to be security? Like you grouped out. You recording me. Now you following me. Like back up.’ And she’s like, ‘I could do what I want.’”

She described the moment they ended up “chest to chest” and said the argument escalated until a receptionist intervened. That’s when, according to Cardi B, Ellis began loudly accusing her of physical assault.

The jury of 12 needed less than an hour to unanimously reject Ellis’ claims. After the verdict, Cardi B addressed reporters outside the courthouse, delivering a pointed message to anyone considering filing what she sees as baseless lawsuits.

“I swear to God, I will say it on my death bed, I did not touch that woman. I did not touch that girl,” she said. “I didn’t lay my hands on that girl.”

She added, “With that being said, this time around I’m going to be nice. But the next person that tries to do a frivolous lawsuit against me, I’m going to counter-sue and I’m going to make you pay. Because this is not OK.”

Cardi B also made it clear she won’t be pressured into settlements.

“Don’t you ever think that you’re going to sue me and I’m going to settle and just give you money, because it’s not going to happen,” she said. “I work hard for my money, for my kids, and for people I take care of.”

Despite her frustration, she urged her supporters not to target Ellis online, saying she wants to move on without fueling more hostility.

Cardi B is no stranger to courtroom wins. In 2022, she secured a $4 million defamation judgment against YouTuber Tasha K, including $1.3 million in legal fees.

‘This is not even funny’: Tennessee tourists pay $418 for stay at 5-star hotel. Then they check in

A group of Tennessee tourists on a NASCAR trip pay $418 to book a stay at what they think is a 5-star hotel. When they check in, the accommodations are less than fancy.

TikTok creator @hollerhoneys shared the group’s story in a video posted Sep. 16. The video shows a room that looks more akin to a budget motel, and clearly lacks the quality to match the exorbitant price tag.

The group traveled to see the Bass Pro Shops Night Race at the famous Bristol Motor Speedway, which is located near the Tennessee-Virginia state line. It was a last-minute trip, and they could not get a refund, so they were effectively stuck.

‘This is Our Hotel That Had Great Reviews’

“OK, this is our hotel that had great reviews,” one said as she showed the motel room. “It was $418.71. OK, here’s our lock. I’m gonna show you the door. It’s super safe.”

As her friend points down, she notes the massive gap in the door. “Here’s the gaps. You know, good airflow is proper,” she jokes. “Can you see through? Can you see the lobby? Yep.”

Then her friend goes outside, and they “lock” the door, which opens through a non-functional latch. In the comments, the women said the room also had roaches. The group quickly evacuated and received another room with a functioning lock.

Viewers React to the $418 Tennessee Hotel Room

All the jokes were made in the comments, and the women participated in the fun. “Get your money back and leave before y’all are episode #134 of ‘Law & Order,'” said one person.

“$418.71 for the month, or?” joked another commenter. To which the women replied, “By the hour.”

One woman expressed the thoughts of several others. “This is not even funny,” she said. “I would be so mad.”

Another person noted their bravery for even putting their things down long enough to shoot a TikTok video. “Don’t let this video fool you,” they said. “We put the phone down and ran our [expletive] right back to the car.”

The NASCAR Effect on Hotel Room Prices

Fortunately, these women travel together and are safe together, seeing it as a funny incident in their NASCAR adventure. But this situation is far more common than it appears.

Hotels around Bristol routinely jack up rates during the Bass Pro Shops Night Race (and also the Food City 500) weekends, with $70 motels suddenly charging up to $400 per night. The practice is technically legal under supply-and-demand principles.

However, fans are increasingly vocal about paying hotel prices for poor accommodations, with some even reporting “lost” reservations that reappear at inflated rates. With only 6,000 hotel rooms in the area to serve a 160,000-seat stadium, Bristol has become a poster child for this phenomenon.

The hotels themselves aren’t in a hurry to fix their rooms, because they know people will do what these women did, and tough it out. Why update or upgrade even the basics like safety features when people are going to pay for them anyway, and NASCAR is only around two weekends a year?

“The Chronic” Collaborator RBX Sues Spotify—Says Drake Bot Fraud Cost Legit Performers Millions

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Category: News
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

RBX, the Long Beach rap veteran who debuted on Dr. Dre’s The Chronic, is taking Spotify to court, accusing the world’s largest music-streaming platform of knowingly allowing fake “bot” streams for Drake that cheated working artists out of millions.

In a 28-page class-action complaint filed November 2 in Los Angeles federal court, the rapper claims Spotify inflated total play counts by ignoring “billions of fraudulent streams” generated by automated accounts.  

The suit argues that these fake plays artificially inflated the earnings of superstar acts, such as Drake, while shrinking the royalty pool for all other artists.

“Every month, more than a hundred thousand artists, songwriters, and producers are forced to compete for their share of a limited pool of royalty payments from Spotify,” the filing says. “Success begets success… some take the Hustle too far—they resort to cheating.”

RBX accuses Spotify of turning “a blind eye” to the scheme because higher play totals help the company sell more ads and please investors.  Spotify, the suit alleges, has “an incentive for turning a blind eye to the blatant streaming fraud occurring on its service” since inflated numbers make its platform look larger and more profitable.

The lawsuit paints a detailed picture of how bots allegedly manipulated charts and royalties—programs that played the same songs for 23 hours a day, VPN networks that created the illusion of phantom listeners scattered across the globe, and bizarre data showing some users “traveled 15,000 kilometers in a month” between songs.

The complaint singles out Drake, whom it refers to as “the most streamed artist of all time.”  

RBX’s lawyers say data show “billions of fraudulent streams” tied to his catalog from 2022 to 2025. They claim that Spotify “knew or should have known” about the anomalies but “never properly addressed the millions—if not billions—of fraudulent and artificial music streams attributed to Drake’s music.”

Spotify publicly touts anti-fraud measures, yet RBX says those defenses are “nothing more than window dressing.”

His filing argues that, despite promising to crack down on bots, the company’s policies “failed, over at least the past four years, to prevent or detect billions of inauthentic streams.” Represented by Baron & Budd P.C. and Irpino Law Firm, RBX seeks to represent a nationwide class of recording artists, producers and songwriters dating back to 2018.  

The suit demands damages, restitution, and a court order forcing Spotify to disclose and repay affected rightsholders.

RBX argues the alleged fraud drained legitimate performers’ paychecks while rewarding a handful of inflated stars. Spotify has not yet filed a response.  

The lawsuit requests a jury trial in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California.

J. Prince Lists His Lavish $4.4 Million Texas Mansion With Bowling Alley & Theater

By: London Jennn Updated Category: News

J. Prince is parting ways with his sprawling French-style estate in Heath, Texas, after more than a year of price shifts and stalled offers.

The Rap-A-Lot Records founder has officially listed his 12,000-square-foot mansion for $4.4 million.

The property, located roughly 25 miles east of Dallas, sits on 5.4 acres and includes a separate 3,700-square-foot guest house, a bowling alley, a movie theater and a safe room.

“I love the space to roam,” Prince said through a family spokesperson. “The peace and more importantly the privacy it provides is my favorite thing about the property.”

J. Prince bought the home in 2019 and began trying to sell it in January 2023. Since then, the asking price has bounced between $4.3 million and $4.7 million before landing at its current number.

The estate features six bedrooms, including a primary suite and a ground-floor in-law suite with direct access to a resort-style pool and spa. A chef’s kitchen with black cabinetry, double ovens and a spacious island overlooks the backyard. The home also includes an elevator, a six-car garage and a backup generator.

Listing agent Phil Owens of The Agency Frisco told Chron.com. “I’ve sold a lot of homes in this price point over the last 18 years. This is by far the most unique one I’ve ever handled. The architecture, the scale, the land – it’s unlike anything else in North Texas.”

The guest house includes a full kitchen, bathroom and additional garage space. Outside, the grounds are lined with mature trees, walking trails and a fire pit area.

Before Prince owned it, the mansion belonged to Pilar Sanders, the former wife of NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders. “Around here, everyone still calls it Deion’s ex-wife’s house,” Owens said. “But really, it’s J. Prince’s house – and it’s become a bit of a legend in this community.”

‘This is why you have to be so careful’: Woman goes on girl’s trip to Tokyo. Then she gets stuck in Seoul for using her twin sister’s passport

By: Mars Ramos Updated Category: Newsbreak

A woman traveling to Tokyo on a girls’ trip inadvertently uses her twin sister’s passport on a layover in Seoul. Her travel agent explains what happened.

TikTok creator Kimyatta Travels (@travelboujee) helps folks on the international trips they need to go. In an Oct. 8 video, she explained that she recently planned a girls’ trip to Tokyo for a group of 10 women. Everything went according to the itinerary until only nine of the women made it onto a layover in Seoul.

Immediately, Kimyatta started to look into what happened to the woman, who is named Jasmine. The client told her that Jasmine was taken into custody because she used her identical twin sister’s passport to travel.

The text layover in the video is “One passport, two felonies,” most likely in reference to the passport used and the two twin sisters who, according to the travel companion, are in potential legal trouble. The video has 1129,100 views and over 14,500 likes.

Woman on Tokyo Girl’s Trip Stuck in Seoul

In an update video, Kimyatta revealed that she soon started making calls to figure out Jasmine’s whereabouts. Something about the story didn’t add up, because Kimyatta thoroughly screened each traveler.

“I’m like, ‘Nah, I crossed my T’s and dotted my I’s,'” she said. “I checked all these chicks out before they left the [United States]. I made them get on Zoom with me and show me their passports to make sure their passports were valid.”

After some digging, Kimyatta learned that Jasmine lives with her identical sister in the U.S. Both sisters keep their travel documents, including their passports, in the same pouch.

For the trip, Jasmine took the whole pouch with her. To get on the flight to Seoul, Jasmine showed her own passport. To get on the flight to Tokyo from Seoul, Jasmine mistakenly showed her sister’s passport. This is when airport officials pulled her aside to question her.

“She was not taken into custody, like put in hand cuffs or put in a jail cell,” Kimyatta clarified. But she was brought in for questioning to a room about why she had someone else’s passport.

Ultimately, Jasmine explained the mistake to the people interrogating her in Seoul and eventually boarded a flight to Tokyo. The only issue was that her sister’s passport did get confiscated by customs.

Viewers React to the Girls’ Trip Derailment

“She got off to me really, really, easy, I don’t know who was on her side. Maybe the lord himself,” Kimyatta says about Jasmine’s luck. In the comments, viewers emphatically agreed.

“She’s gotta be more careful; airports don’t play,” wrote one viewer.

“This sounds crazy, because I’m not taking multiple peoples passports or documents with me that I have to be responsible for,” said another person.

However, one kind viewer took pity on the woman. “Innocent mistake. Poor girl,” they wrote.

What Happens If You Use Someone Else’s Passport?

So let’s say you’re actually trying to pull one over on customs by using someone else’s passport, what happens? According to Eisner Gorin Law Associates, a conviction could land you in prison for up to 25 years. Another source, Phillip J. Murphy Law, says that you could be fined up to $250,000. 

All Hip Hop reached out to Kimyatta for comment via TikTok message and via email about Jasmine’s situation.

Megan Thee Stallion Says Klay Thompson Helped Her Embrace Her “Soft Girl Era”

By: London Jennn Updated Category: News

Megan Thee Stallion credited NBA star Klay Thompson with helping her embrace vulnerability and step into what she calls her “soft girl era” during a revealing interview on national television.

The Houston rapper sat down with Jennifer Hudson for a Halloween-themed episode of The Jennifer Hudson Show, where she opened up about how her relationship with the Dallas Mavericks guard has shifted her perspective on love and emotional openness.

“Right now, I’m in such a feminine era of my life,” Meg revealed. “I’m not saying I’m in a feminine era of my life because of a man. I’m saying, because I’ve been through so much, and I feel like I was always on the defense for a long time. And I [felt] like, Oh, my gosh, I got to fight for myself. I’m squaring up with everybody all the time.”

She added, “I am so sure of myself, and I’m so relaxed. I am very much a soft girl.”

After years of navigating public trauma, industry pressure and legal battles, Megan said Thompson has brought a new sense of calm into her life.

“I just feel like right now in life, I’m just a little bit more calm and relaxed and more zen and more accepting of love,” Megan added. “I’m receiving love way better than I ever have in life, which is probably why the man that I have now has came into my life, ’cause I was ready to have him. I’m still doing hot girl stuff. But I love him.”

The couple first confirmed their relationship in July 2025 at the Pete & Thomas Foundation Gala.

Since then, their romance has progressed quickly, especially after Thompson left the Golden State Warriors and relocated to Texas to join the Mavericks. Their connection has remained mostly private, but Megan’s recent comments suggest a deeper level of comfort and trust.

The shift in her personal life is already showing up in her music. Her latest track, “Lover Girl,” blends her trademark confidence with softer melodies and more emotionally open lyrics.

Megan Thee Stallion Hints At New Home With Klay Thompson

Speculation about the couple’s next steps intensified after Megan posted a series of Instagram photos on October 30, 2025.

The carousel included a set of house keys, cozy snapshots with Thompson and her dog Foe, and a backdrop that read “new home.” The post sparked widespread chatter that the two may have moved in together.

Although neither has confirmed the move, the images and Megan’s openness about their bond have led many to believe the couple is building a life together in Texas.

Nelly Celebrates 51st Birthday With Ashanti’s Star-Studded Surprise Bash

Nelly rang in his 51st birthday with a lavish private dinner thrown by his wife, Ashanti, who transformed Atlanta’s Lo Kee restaurant into a cozy celebration filled with Hip-Hop royalty and family.

The intimate gathering on Saturday (November 1) brought together 50 handpicked guests, including Bow Wow and Jermaine Dupri, at the upscale Asian fusion spot, Page Six reports.

Ashanti reserved a private room for the night and curated a menu featuring Beijing chicken, rock shrimp tempura, chicken satay and salt and pepper prawns.

The couple arrived around 10:30 P.M. and stayed until 1:30 A.M., capping off the night with a World Series watch party as the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 7.

Before the game, Ashanti serenaded her husband with “Happy Birthday,” adding a personal touch to the evening.

The couple were captured later dressed in Halloween costumes for a second celebration.

The celebration marked another chapter in their rekindled relationship. Nelly and Ashanti quietly married in December 2023 in St. Louis, his hometown, after reconnecting earlier that year.

Their romance originally began in 2003 but ended in 2013, only to be reignited in April 2023 when they were spotted holding hands in Las Vegas.

Their renewed bond deepened when they welcomed their first child together, Kareem Kenkaide Hayes, in July 2024.

Kareem joined Nelly’s two adult children, Chanelle, 31, and Cornell Haynes III, 26, from a previous relationship with Channetta Valentine.

Nelly recently returned the love on Ashanti’s birthday with a touching Instagram post: “Happy Birthday to the most beautiful and amazing woman in this world.. Marrying you wasn’t just finding love — it was finding home. Love you mama.”

Rick Ross Stuns MAGA Crowd With Halloween Performance In DC

Rick Ross brought Hip-Hop swagger to a Halloween party packed with conservative elites in Washington, DC, performing at the Cruel Kids Halloween event inside Saint Yves nightclub on Saturday night (November 1).

The Miami rapper, known for hits like “Hustlin'” and “B.M.F.,” took the stage in front of more than 600 attendees, many of whom openly support former President Donald Trump—despite Ross’s own history of criticizing him.

The event, organized by CJ Pearson, a former co-chair of the Republican National Committee’s youth advisory board, drew a crowd that stretched from early 20-somethings to mid-40s.

“We’re not just Making America Great Again. We’re making the Republican Party COOL again,” Pearson posted on social media after the event.

While the crowd leaned red, the vibe was anything but buttoned-up. According to Daily Mail, Will Scharf, 39, who serves as White House Staff Secretary, was seen in a neon construction vest labeled “Ballroom Construction Team,” dancing through VIP sections and accidentally toppling a table of drinks.

Costumes played with political satire. Attendees dressed as ICE agents, government shutdowns and even House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries—a look Pearson himself wore. Designer Andre Soriano showed up with a cardboard cutout of Trump and a bag of rice, calling his outfit “SNAP and EBT.”

The party leaned into Trump nostalgia, serving McDonald’s burgers and fries in a nod to the former president’s fast-food preferences. Attendees also received red “Cruel Kids Halloween” hats styled after MAGA caps.

Rick Ross Criticizes Donald Trump

Ross’s performance raised eyebrows, given his previous public remarks about Trump.

In 2017, he rapped, “I’m happy that Donald Trump became the president because we have to destroy it to elevate.” In 2024, he dismissed the idea that Trump’s presidency was good for people’s wallets, calling that belief “delusional.”

“We will start over after this,” Ross said in an interview that same year. “I think that particular line, a lot of young brothers who haven’t really put a finger on how they feel about our new president, I think they needed to hear that line to get some form of understanding.”

‘I’m willing to bet it’s someone who owns a restaurant near you’: Nevada woman runs a brew pub. Then a mystery customer costs her ‘thousands’ of dollars

By: Kahron Spearman Updated Category: Newsbreak
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

A Nevada brew pub owner is asking for help identifying a mystery customer that vandalized her business and cost her thousands of dollars in repairs and lost business.

TikTok user Lauren Taylor (@nevadabrewworksboca), the owner at Nevada Brew Works, posted a video about the deliberate act of sabotage in a video posted on Oct. 22. She says the brazen act, which shut down the pub during “Monday Night Football,” was caught on camera, cost the two-week-old restaurant thousands in lost revenue, and resulted in dozens of customer refunds.

Surveillance footage captured a tattooed man turning off the gas supply from outside. This behavior fits a troubling pattern of business vandalism plaguing Las Vegas establishments. The incident is particularly troubling in a time when Las Vegas, as a tourism city, is facing a significant downturn.

With the perpetrator’s face clearly visible on camera, Taylor’s family-owned business is hoping someone can identify him before he strikes again.

“Somebody cost our restaurant thousands of dollars on Monday,” Taylor said, as she held her sleeping baby. “We just opened our restaurant on October 6th. This past Monday, during ‘Monday Night Football,’ during the dinner rush, we get a call while we’re out for our anniversary dinner that the gas is not working at the restaurant.”

A Mystery Customer Costs Nevada Brew Pub

She said her husband, Jason, went over to the restaurant to figure out the issue. “Mind you, we informed all the customers that we can’t give them their dinner,” she continues. “We refunded their tickets.”

Despite the refunds, Taylor worries this sequence of events made a bad impression. “Possibly, many of those people won’t return because of their experience,” she says. “Also, how many one-star reviews are we gonna get on Yelp because of this, further encouraging people not to come to our establishment?”

Her husband got the gas turned back on and then pulled the camera footage. It shows a man with tattoos getting out of his car and turning off the gas. It’s pretty blatant. It appears to be relatively unconcerned and unbothered by being caught.

“So please, if anybody knows who this guy is, please write in the comments,” she asks. “We’re filing a police report. We’re gonna contact the gas company to see if they know who it is.”

Viewers Speculate About Mystery Customer’s Motives

The comments were ablaze with thoughts from armchair investigators. 

“This is insane! I am willing to bet it’s someone who owns a restaurant near you,” said one woman. 

One person asked a snarky question, but in reality, it was not as straightforward as it seemed. “Your employees couldn’t simply have checked if the gas was on?” they asked. “You need a new manager.” 

However, Taylor replied that, “We would have liked them to check the main, yes. My husband got in trouble with gas company for turning the gas back on. Apparently, it’s very dangerous to do that and should only be done by the gas company.”

“Who wakes up one day and says, ‘Yeah, I’m gonna go turn their gas off,'” asked one commenter. 

Las Vegas Grapples With Increased Vandalism

Unfortunately, this action is part of a growing issue in Las Vegas. The problem is so severe that the City of Las Vegas issued a $250,000 security grant to downtown businesses due to the increase in vandalism and break-ins. De Thai Kitchen, Dig It! Coffee Co., and Tacotarian have all reported being targeted over the last year. The city is offering up to $5,000 per business for security upgrades.

However, an even more significant issue is Las Vegas’ broader downturn. A Fox Business report from October details how the Nevada tourism sector is responding to an 11.3% year-over-year decrease in visitor traffic.

And it is not just Las Vegas. Florida and Hawaii are also reporting significant drops in visitors. Fewer international travelers are entering the United States, and, unfortunately, this trend is likely to continue.

All Hip Hop reached out to Taylor for additional information.

Cardi B Steals The Show Cheering For Stefon Diggs In Patriots Owner’s Suite

By: London Jennn Updated Category: News
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

Cardi B brought her signature energy to Gillette Stadium on Sunday (November 2), where she cheered on boyfriend Stefon Diggs from the private suite of New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft during the team’s narrow 24-23 win over the Atlanta Falcons.

The Grammy-winning Cardi B, who is expecting her first child with the Patriots wide receiver, didn’t hold back when Diggs scored in the second quarter. She jumped up, mimicked his touchdown celebration and lit up the luxury box with her reaction.

After the final whistle, Diggs walked over and affectionately rubbed her baby bump in front of the crowd.

The moment capped a high-profile day for the couple, who have been making headlines since going public with their relationship in June. They announced their pregnancy in September, and the rapper recently opened up about the relationship during an interview on CBS.

“I feel like I’m in a good space,” she said on CBS Mornings, adding, “I feel very strong. I feel very powerful that I’m doing all this work. But I’m doing all this work while I’m creating a baby, me and my man, we’re very supportive of each other. We like in the same space in our careers. You know what it is that I feel like we’re really great, we’re really the best at what we do.”

Diggs, 31, is in his first season with the Patriots after signing a three-year, $63.5 million deal in free agency. He was originally traded from the Buffalo Bills to the Houston Texans in April, but his time in Houston was cut short after he tore his ACL in Week 8.

Cardi B Invited To Join Patriots Inner Circle

Before Cardi even arrived at the game, members of the Patriots’ inner circle were already rolling out the welcome mat.

Victoria Gibson, wife of running back Antonio Gibson, and Jayda Kamryn Hawkins, part of the team’s WAG (wives and girlfriends) community, shared a warm video invitation encouraging Cardi to join their tailgate.

“Hey Cardi, it’s two of your future favorite WAGs… A lot of people are looking forward to meeting you,” they said in the clip.

Floyd Mayweather Goes Viral With Emotional Israel Award Speech: “Any Time Its War, I’m On Your Side”

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Category: News
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

Floyd Mayweather stepped into a different kind of ring Saturday night, accepting the World Champion for Israel Award from the Republican Jewish Coalition at their Annual Leadership Summit in Las Vegas.

The undefeated boxing legend was recognized for his “big heart” and “generous support for the people of Israel during the war in Gaza.”

“I’m not with you guys 10%, 50%. I will always be the voice for the people in Israel. I will always stand behind the country of Israel, the one and only Floyd Money Mayweather in Israel. I will always be here for you guys when you guys don’t have a voice,” Floyd Mayweather said during his speech.

The 48-year-old champion has made multiple visits to Israel since the October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorist attacks that killed approximately 1,200 people and resulted in more than 250 kidnappings.

During these trips, Floyd Mayweather has provided support to United Hatzalah, wounded IDF soldiers and Israeli children orphaned by the war.

The boxing icon has been vocal about his commitment and he seemed to be aware he would be facing some backlash after accepting his award from the Republican Jewish Coalition.

“I’m going to stand strong, and no matter what I go through, no matter how much backlash I get, I live my life for me,” Floyd Mayweather said. “Any time its any war, I’m on your side, count me in.”

The Republican Jewish Coalition praised Mayweather’s efforts in their announcement, noting he has “given his time, energy and resources to help Israelis in their greatest time of need.”

The organization emphasized that “Mayweather’s support has immeasurably helped United Hatzalah, wounded IDF soldiers and Israeli children orphaned by the war.”

During his visits to Israel, Mayweather met with Israeli soldiers at Tel Aviv’s Hilton Beach, offering encouragement and taking photos with them. “These are young fighters,” he said. “I was a young fighter. I know how it is.”

The RJC also recognized Mayweather for speaking out against antisemitism and anti-Israel sentiment in the United States.

“He has spoken out against antisemitism and anti-Israel hate here at home as well. He is a champion for Israel and the Jewish people,” the coalition stated.

Mayweather told Israel Hayom earlier this year, “I don’t remember anymore how many times I’ve been in Israel, but it’s probably a lot. It’s a beautiful place, with wonderful people. I’ve always had Israeli friends, and I will continue coming here until my dying day.”

The Las Vegas summit featured prominent conservative voices, including House Speaker Mike Johnson, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Senator Lindsey Graham and Arkansas Governor Sarah Sanders. Israeli Ambassador Danny Danon also participated in the event.

Mayweather, who retired with a perfect 50-0 record, has also been politically outspoken, previously expressing strong support for President Donald Trump, calling him “a great president” and “a great businessman.”

As he predicted, the boxer was met with intense criticism on social media.

“I can only imagine the kind of debt Floyd mayweather got to be in to be doing this s###,” one user said, while another wrote: “Netanyahu don’t give a damn about your black a$$ Floyd Mayweather. So sick and tired of some of these conforming black celebrities like him.”

Lil Wayne, Verzuz & Persistent Rumors

By: Houston Williams Updated Category: Rumors

Lil Wayne and B.G. are pretty good, but we are trying to get to the truth. And when that’s the case, things may not be as good as it appears to be. Everyone’s STILL talking about the Verzuz that was supposed to bring Cash Money and No Limit together for a night of nostalgia. But there was one major thing missing—Lil Wayne.

EXCLUSIVE: Turk Sued For $12M, Accused Of Wrecking Cash Money Tour

B.G. broke down, saying that Wayne’s absence was a sickness. Mr. Bling Bling even claimed Wayne was hospitalized. That’s serious business. We were even worried for a second. But the streets and blogs are whispering.

The talk is that Wayne was supposed to be there, but we knew that. What we didn’t know was that he had his own separate deal lined up with Apple and Verzuz. Apparently (and allegedly), the deal was structured so that his money went straight to him and not through Cash Money. If true, that’s a smart move. They have too much “financial history” to play any games. But it doesn’t end there.

According to Akademiks, Wayne wasn’t sick at all. The controversial “DJ” claimed that Wayne simply didn’t want to be around “a bunch of old people.” Supposedly, he wasn’t feeling the idea of standing shoulder-to-shoulder with artists who’d been hot in the late ‘90s and early 2000s. AK suggested that Wayne didn’t want to be labeled as a “legacy act,” even though…he is. Wayne’s first album came out a SMOOTH 26 years ago.

Wayne’s still one of the most active rappers alive. He tours, drops verses and keeps popping up on features with the next generation. These days, I’m most impressed by Juvie, but that’s another story. Wayne’s 42 years old and he’s got three generations of Hip-Hop in him. I think he’s earned the “OG” tag, but maybe he’d rather fight Father Time.

He might’ve walked away from a serious payday to keep his career “on brand.” I’m not sure what to believe…they both sound good. By the way, Wayne hasn’t said a word.

Mass Shooting Erupts During Teen Birthday Party At Illegal Airbnb Rental

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Category: AHHplus
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

Nine people were rushed to hospitals after gunfire erupted at a teenage birthday party inside an illegal Airbnb rental in Bath Township, Ohio, turning what was supposed to be a celebration into a nightmare of chaos and bloodshed.

Akron law enforcement and fire crews responded to multiple 911 calls just after midnight Sunday (November 2) reporting shots fired at a residence in the 900 block of Top Of The Hill Drive. The massive party, filled mostly with juveniles, had been promoted on social media and drew a crowd that quickly spiraled out of control at the “very large home.”

By the time officers arrived, most partygoers had fled the scene. First responders found victims suffering from gunshot wounds and other injuries scattered across the first floor of the house, with shell casings littering the crime scene as officers worked to secure the property.

“Officers responded at around midnight to reports of gunfire at a residence,” Bath Township Police confirmed in their investigation update.

The shooting has left the Bath Township community reeling, with authorities revealing that Airbnb rentals are actually banned in the town. The homeowner now faces serious questions about how the illegal party was allowed to happen on their property.

Police are actively seeking suspects in connection with the mass shooting and continue their investigation into the circumstances that led to the violence at what should have been a simple birthday celebration.

All nine victims were transported to area hospitals for treatment of their injuries, though the extent of their conditions has not been released by authorities.

Mayor Shammas Malik has pledged full city support for the ongoing investigation.

“Those who perpetrate violence anywhere in our community must be held accountable for their action,” he said in a social media post. “This kind of deadly behavior cannot be normalized. In addition, the reports of so many young people at a rented house party are very concerning.

“As we learn more about the situation that occurred last night, it appears to be part of a broader issue – helping make sure youth across our community are safe.”

Airbnb released a statement stressing its prohibition of “unauthorized and disruptive gatherings,” noting the property was delisted and the renter’s account removed. The company pointed to a 50 percent reduction in party-related reports since its global party ban began in 2020.

“We are heartbroken by this senseless act of gun violence, and our thoughts are with the injured victims and all those affected by it,” Airbnb said, emphasizing its cooperation with authorities.

Sinopoli also pointed to a 2017 shooting linked to an Airbnb rental in town, when a victim suffered a leg wound.

“It’s pretty much an indicator that no community is immune from violence, and this happened to be in Bath Township again, unfortunately,” he said.

After speaking with the property owner, Sinopoli referenced the local stance against short-term rentals, clarifying that while home rentals violate zoning laws, they are not criminal offenses.
