Diddy has just put his ex-girlfriend, Kim Porter’s, mansion up for sale.
Madam Noire is reporting that the music mogul just put up the home in Toluca Lake — a ritzy part of Los Angeles — up for sale. He’s asking $7 million for the nearly-10,000 square foot mansion.
Porter died unexpectedly in the mansion back in 2018. It was eventually revealed that the cause of death was complications from pneumonia, though initially, a drug overdose was suspected. There were also no shortage of conspiracy theories suggesting that Porter died through nefarious means, mostly due to an alleged “Illuminati sacrifice.” That, too, was quickly debunked.
Diddy purchased the mansion back in 2009 for $5.3 million. He never lived in the mansion.
As for what the $7 million will buy you, the listing reports that “the half-acre estate is walled, fully gated and protected by a security system. It also lies on what is arguably the best street in L.A.’s leafy Toluca Lake neighborhood, where some of the nearest neighbors include Sia, Viola Davis, Steve Carell and Billy Ray Cyrus. Directly across the street is a house currently owned by “Once Upon a Time” star Jennifer Morrison and previously owned by “This Is Us” creator Dan Fogelman. Immediately next door is a mansion formerly owned by Miley Cyrus and now occupied by oil heiress Nats Getty and her wife, transgender YouTuber Gigi Gorgeous.”
However, Diddy also discloses that the house is a little bit of a fixer-upper. “[This] stunning traditional is ready for the next owner’s updated finishes,” reads the listing.
In the approximately four-minute video, Tammy Rivera starts off by saying that she wanted to “clarify some things” so people could understand why she was upset. She explained that she went to CVS because she wanted some treatment for some mosquito bites she received while she was on vacation in Belize. (She did not, however, specify which CVS she went into.)
“And of course, as females, we always end up getting some other stuff we don’t even need,” she said.
After picking up a hair bonnet, hair oil, and some other products, Tammy Rivera said that she noticed a lady who had been watching her “over three aisles.” “Not once did she greet me, not once did she ask me if I needed help with anything, not once did she say hello, goodnight, is there anything I can help you with?” she said.
Tammy Rivera then went on to explain that she opened an unspecified product, and was immediately reprimanded by said CVS employee, who reportedly shouted “Don’t do that!” at her several times over.
King Bach is an anomaly in his own right, someone who effortlessly continues to deliver the most hilarious, timeless content time and time again. Boasting 21.3 million followers on Instagram alone, real name Andrew Byron Bachelor jumpstarted his career on Vine, hailing the biggest following on the social media app (over 16 million followers) before it crumbled.
Now, his passion, dedication, and consistency in his craft shines through in many other areas, including acting, rapping, composing, directing, performing doing stand-up comedy, and of course, entertaining the masses from all over the world. Hailing from Toronto Canada, Bach writes and produces all his own material, particularly his viral Youtube series called King Bachelor’s Pad.
On the acting tip, you can catch King Bach in his recurring role on House of Lies, The Mindy Project, MTV’s Wild ’N Out, and most recently Vacation Friends on Hulu. Beyond entertainment, King Bach is a proud entrepreneur and founder of The SIX26 (pronounced Six Two Six) brand, his own line of fine wines with content creator Amanda Cerny.
On the 24th episode of Shirley’s Temple, I spoke with King Bach via Zoom to discuss launching his own wine, being part-owner of Gloveworx, shooting Vacation Friends, taking breaks from social media, his favorite song, his favorite movie, and more!
AllHipHop: How are you feeling?
King Bach: Good! I was shooting a little short film that I’m directing, it’s called In Deep.
AllHipHop: I know your schedule is crazy. What’s an average day in the life of King Bach?
King Bach: Wake up, get to work. Go to sleep, get back up and do more work.
AllHipHop: How did you end up creating your own wine?
King Bach: Me and my best friend Amanda Cerny, we love drinking red wine. She found a bunch of samples, we tried them all and we picked the best ones. We created SIX26, which is our birthday. We both have the same birthday, June 26tth, so we called it SIX26.
AllHipHop: Besties is a strong word. When did you guys become friends?
King Bach: 7 years ago.
AllHipHop: Are you a wine connoisseur?
King Bach: Yeah, I like it. It’s an acquired taste fasho. I just like how light it is. It’s light, it’s fun, it’s chill. I like that.
AllHipHop: How does it feel for you to be doing this Zoom interview?
King Bach: It’s pretty normal for me now.
AllHipHop: Before COVID were you the type to be out or are you usually in the crib?
King Bach: Nah, I’m a homebody. I like to chill at home.
AllHipHop: A huge part of the show is mental health. How are you holding up?
King Bach: I feel good, just chillin’ at my house. Do little workouts here in my pool. Keeping myself busy with being creative, so I feel good.
AllHipHop: Had no idea that you’re part owner in Gloveworx.
King Bach: Yeah, the boxing gym Gloveworx.
AllHipHop: I actually took a class there and I loved it.
King Bach: Oh yeah, you gotta go back again. I go to the one in Century City mall.

King Bach: It’s exciting, Vacation Friends is out now on Hulu. John Cena, the whole cast was great. Overall, it was a great experience. I can’t wait [for people to watch it].
AllHipHop: What was the energy on set?
King Bach: Energy was great, we were all having fun. I’ve known Lil Rel Howery for a couple years, so it’s great to work with someone you’ve been friends with.
Spending more than 3 hours on social media per day puts adolescents at higher risk for mental health problems. You have a big following, what is your take on social media?
Sometimes, you gotta take breaks. If you’re feeling drained and constantly — if you wake up and the first thing you do is go to your phone and check Instagram, then you gotta try and figure out a different cycle. Maybe you need a phone break, you know?
AllHipHop: How often do you take breaks?
King Bach: I take them every once in a while. I haven’t been really doing that much on social media lately. I’ve been working on directing, acting, and standups.
AllHipHop: You’re the content King, so you probably got s### stacked up?
King Bach: Oh yeah. I got a bunch of stuff just ready. [laughs]
AllHipHop: Will you ever box professionally?
King Bach: No, I will not. I box for fun and for working out, but not to get my face ruined. I play fight with a girl and say “ouch” way too many times.
AllHipHop: What’s up with Bach’s dating life? You got a bae?
King Bach: Nah, I’m chillin’. I’m chillin’ right now, just focused on work.
AllHipHop: How was it shooting the “7 Wonders” music video?
King Bach: Oh, it was great. My boy directed that. I love watching that movie WandaVision. We used that concept and did that music video, which was pretty dope.
AllHipHop: The costume was on point, how did it feel?
King Bach: Thank you. It was really hot in there.
AllHipHop: Favorite emoji?

King Bach: Will Smith.
AllHipHop: Y’all haven’t crossed paths?
King Bach: Yeah, that’s my guy. [laughs]
AllHipHop: First thing you think of when you hear King Bach?
King Bach: A lot of pressure.
AllHipHop: Anything else you want to plug?
King Bach: SIX26 wine! Stand-up tour dates coming soon, you can find those dates on KingBach.com. That’s it.
AllHipHop: I saw a video of you doing stand-up in an arena. How does it feel to have so many eyes on you?
King Bach: It was fun. It was definitely a great feeling to have people responding to the stuff I gotta talk about.
Oakland rapper and style icon E-40 has launched his new food brand and the introductory product debuting first will be a series of packaged sausages and burritos.
According to a press release, the “Sprinkle Me” rapper will call his line “Goon With The Spoon.”
The vocabulist took to social media to share his excitement: “Fulfilled a lifelong dream today with the formal launch of my @GoonWithTheSpoon brand and inaugural sausage line! We’re in production and about to take over the food industry click the link in my bio to order your #GoonWithTheSpoon sausages now”
While this is a new venture for Forty Fonzarelli, he will not be doing it alone. He has partnered with Justin Kinder, the mastermind behind Kinders Meats, Deli, and BBQ. The two will bank on the rapper’s marketing genius and popularity as well as Kinder’s knowledge of the space to conquer the meat industry.
And the first thing on their agenda is the launch of five different “Goon With The Spoon” sausage flavors: Teriyaki Pineapple Chicken Sausage, Philly Cheesesteak Chicken Sausages, Hot Beef Sausages, Mild Beef Sausages and Choices (Yum) Sausage Bundle. He will also have for purchase Turf Burritos.
This past month Midwest storyteller and lyricist DaWeirdo delivered to fans his heartfelt project titled LILLIE, a 10-song EP dedicated to his grandmother and the Southside of Chicago.
Not only did this project have a special dedication to DaWeirdo’s grandma, but there is an underlying story about the record number of shootings across Chicago. Giving a front row seat to his life DaWeirdo even divulges into the trauma and loss that he experienced after losing his friends to gun violence in a mass shooting.
“LILLIE is an EP dedicated to my grandmother. I’m focused on getting this music out to the world. And letting them hear my stories on what’s happening on the frontline of Chicago,” DaWeirdo explained. “Through tough times, blessings come and I think LILLIE being dedicated to my grandmother, she’s sending those blessings from Heaven. Each track has its own story because also, just before my grandmother passed away, four days before that, there was a mass shooting, I lost like four friends of mine. So at that point in my life in June, it was a lot going on. It was a lot going on. I lost some friends to a mass shooting. And four days later I lost my grandma.”
Blood Stains on the Southside of Chicago
DaWeirdo knows the blood stains on the city will be tough to wash away, nevertheless he hopes that his stories inspire change on the Southside of Chicago whether it saves one life of thousands.
“On the Southside, we have a big stain on the city. It’s a big stain on the Southside and it’s noticeable, so that’s why people talk about it a lot. You know from crime, to drugs that’ve been distributed around the neighborhoods. The incidents that play out, so that’s why a lot of people talk about the Southside a lot,” DaWeirdo said.
Avoiding the guns and shoot ’em up scenes DaWeirdo is not the typical rapper you will find on the drill rap scene. He’s beyond the drill scene at this point, DaWeirdo is his own scene. He’s not scared to step out on a limb and be himself in a stuffy room full of imposters.
“Man you know, we set the plot. We sat down and came up with the storyboards and we always try to leave something for people to decode. Just being different. I get asked that question a lot. But just being different, because I mean the city that I’m from and the environment I’m from, which is Englewood. You’d think that I’d be pushing the drill rap scene. You know guns, shoot ’em up scenes, just something people are normally used to in Chicago or what they expect. But we created, and we cracked the code in it to just do things out of the norm.”
Kodak Black’s highly anticipated appearance at the Rolling Loud Music Festival in New York is in the hands of a judge.
The festival is taking place from October 28th – 31st at Citi Field in Queens, New York.
A-list rappers like Travis Scott, 50 Cent, Lil Durk, Lil Baby, and Lil Uzi Vert are among the hundreds of rappers who are confirmed to be in attendance.
Unfortunately, Kodak Black is waiting for the green light to travel to New York to participate in Rolling Loud New York.
After his release, Kodak was placed on probation shortly for 36 months.
The rapper’s lawyer Bradford Cohen recently submitted documents asking a judge to allow Kodak to attend the music festival for work.
“Kodak has previously been allowed to travel the United States for work purposes and has had no incidents of violation or positive urine tests upon his return and continuously upon his leave for an event and upon return,” Bradford Cohen wrote.
Cohen also said he would be accompanying Kodak Black to Rolling Loud New York, along with his treatment manager and a high-end security team of former police officers.
Thankfully, assistant United States Attorney Bruce O. Brian has presented no objections to Kodak traveling to New York for work.
The rap star’s team is waiting for the U.S. Probation office to state their position or objections in addition to the court’s ultimate decision.
After Rolling Loud, Kodak Black is scheduled to attend an out-of-state treatment program after testing positive for a prohibitive drug in August of 2021.
Houston fans rioted after rapper Playboi Carti pulled out of a local concert performance in Houston, Texas. Authorities have viewed countless videos of the ruckus unfolding, hoping to make sense of the chaos.
According to KPRC, the Hip-Hop concert-goers ransacked the NRG Arena breaking metal detectors and vandalized cars. But the late-night news station didn’t have to give the world the 411. Twitter had it on lock.
One fan posted, “stormed the arena to see #playboicarti but it got cancelled”
“Apparently Playboi Carti is a flake and didn’t bother to tell his fans that the show was canceled, so everyone showed up and then after two hours of waiting outside it devolved? Good job. #houston#playboicarti#playboicartihouston”
Tragedy has stricken the State Property fam yet again. It is with heavy hearts that we report that Philadelphia rapper, Freeway’s daughter Harmony has lost her bought with a terminal cancer at the youthful age of 21.
Harmony’s transition comes a year after her brother/ Freeway’s son Jihad died from what was reported as an accidental drug overdose. As reported by AllHipHop.com, Jihad was 19 at the time of his death.
The “What We Do” rapper took to social media to break the sad news to his fans and many of her supporters.
He posted on his Instagram, “I pray that my daughter Harmony’s name rings bell‘s amongst the angels in heaven 🤲🏾❤️ much Love to the @sixers for helping put a big smile on my daughters face that day!”

Allah Really blessed me putting her in my life. I love her so much and this hurts so bad 😢 this video was February of this year on her 21st birthday,” he captioned.
He further wrote, “Even though she was fighting cancer she was always happy and always smiling and she always brightened up my day. The only thing that’s giving me comfort is I know 100% that she believes in Allah and she was a good person.”
“I truly believe she has everything it takes to enter into heaven. 🤲🏾🙏🏾❤️ Please keep her in your prayers & please ask God to show her comfort and mercy,” he soberly continued. “Listen Life & Death is very real! cherish your love ones & keep them close to you because you never know, we are not promised our next breath. She truly was my best friend and I don’t know what I’m gonna do this pain is unimaginable. 😢💔”
The rap star who has encountered his share of trouble in the last five years has learned to lean on his faith. His firm belief in God will surely carry him through.

AllHipHop had a chance to speak with Ebony’s CEO Michelle Ghee about the esteemed event.
AllHipHop:We are so excited to see the return of Ebony Power 100! So much Black excellence is in the building. What are you most excited to see because you’ve seen the inner workings and the behind the scenes before the event?
Michelle Ghee: You know really painstakingly going through who should be honored tonight because remember we are in trying times and social justice community service. Our Next Gen really stepped up. It was like how are we gonna pick the people and honor them. So we really put together a group of people to select those individuals. We are really happy and proud of the list. Secondly, I’m proud that there are some people on the list that you’ve never heard of. That’s important too. Celebrity is great, and people want to see that, but I want to see the young brother who is the President of Harvard. I want to see those people too, and we did that, so I’m excited about it.
AllHipHop: Speaking of Black excellence in music, who are your Top 5 rappers dead or alive?
Michelle Ghee: You gotta say Biggie, you gotta say Tupac. You gotta say Dre, Lil Baby, and Drake.
You all know like I know – that Jay-Z used to be a part of the collective that owned the New Jersey Nets. Jigga Man would go on to sell his stake so that he and Roc Nation Sports could move on representing sports figures of all sorts. He’s no longer unincumbered by just a single team. People were perplexed at the sight of a man checking Jay-Z’s seat assignment in the Barclays! What’s wrong with the man!?
Nothing is wrong wit them, but bfdore I explain, check the meme.
Sports reporter Scoop B countered the internet narrative quickly in a response, “Jay-Z had no struggle getting to his seat at the Barclays Center on Sunday where the Nets took on the Charlotte Hornets. In fact he’s known them for years.”
“Jay showed us his seat on his phone,” Fred Galloway, Nets Director of team Security told Scoop by phone.
SEE?
Conway The Machine, Jay-Z and Jadakiss…
Looks like they got a song coming later this week. I can’t see it being nothing but pure fire.
Drake has been richer for longer than most people have been alive.
So, it’s almost understandable as to why he doesn’t “get it.”
In a recent Instagram post, Drake demonstrated that he has no clue what it really means to be poor when he explained that he used to ‘scrape together’ $5,000/month just to keep up appearances.
“Back in 2007, we used to finesse this Rolls Royce Phantom rental to convince people in the city we were destined to make it,” Drake said. “I used to scrape together 5k a month somehow to keep up appearances. We whipped this to Ottawa to see @belly and @cashxo and to Montreal for my first show ever. I used to pick up @ovoniko and roll every day or wait outside @nebzilla class for her. Park outside 15 Fort York while me and @ovo40 and @oliverelkhatib would be upstairs cooking what would eventually become So Far Gone. Even though I don’t recommend putting yourself in financial trouble for material things I realize now that this was just my way of extreme manifesting.”

Since we already know there’s going to be someone out there who’s going to look at this as sound financial advice, let us be the one to break it to you – and not so gently.
Despite what many folks flex about on social media, the vast majority of Black men in this country are not rich, wealthy, “hood rich,” or any combination of the above. In fact, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, Black men in the United States have a median take-home pay of $23,728. (For purposes of comparison, white men in the United States have a median take-home pay of $36,785.)
Now, these facts open up a whole different discussion about the racial wealth inequality gap, job discrimination, and lack of opportunity for most folks. But for the purposes of this bit of Drake news, there are two things you need to take away from these statements.
One, listen to what Drake said at the end – do not go into dire financial straits to flex on the Internet for people who don’t give a sh*t about you. Make sure your bills are paid, your children are fed and clothed, and your wife/girlfriend/husband/boyfriend is secure – then rent a Rolls Royce, if you want to.
Two, stop lying on the Internet. And take Jay-Z’s advice and take the $500,000, because your “business” idea (which is really just a pie-in-the-sky rap superstardom fantasy) sucks.
Grammy, Emmy, and Oscar-winning entertainer Common treated his fans with the studio LPs A Beautiful Revolution Pt. 1 & 2 over the last year. The two-part album series consists of twenty original tracks.
The tracklist for A Beautiful Revolution Pt. 2. includes “Imagine” featuring PJ as well as “When We Move” featuring Black Thought and Seun Kuti. Common performed the songs for Vevo’s Ctrl.

Colombian singer/rapper J Balvin recently found himself at the center of controversy. Critics accused the Jose album creator of racism and misogyny after the release of his “Perra” music video with Dominican rapper Tokischa.
In the visuals, J Balvin could be seen with two Black women depicted as dogs on leashes. At one point, Tokischa posed on all fours inside a doghouse.
The Raymi Paulus-directed “Perra” music video is no longer available on YouTube.J Balvin issued an apology on Sunday to anyone who may have been offended by the content.
“I want to say sorry to whomever felt offended, especially to the Black community,” said J Balvin on Instagram. “That’s not who I am. I’m about tolerance, love, and inclusivity. I also like to support new artists, in this case, Tokischa, a woman who supports her people, her community, and also empowers women.”
The 36-year-old Latin artist added, “As a form of respect, I removed the video eight days ago. But because the criticism continued, I’m here making a statement.” He also apologized to his mother.
American music fans probably best know J Balvin for his contribution to Cardi B’s #1 hit “I Like It” which also features Puerto Rican reggaeton star Bad Bunny. Balvin also made it into the Top 10 region of Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart with 2017’s “Mi Gente (Remix)” with Willy William and Beyoncé.

Halloween is traditionally the holiday for children to wear disguises and collect candy from neighbors. October 31 is also a day where adults get to show off their own elaborate costumes.
Hip Hop star Megan Thee Stallion got the jump on many of her peers by already posting pictures of her Halloween 2021 ensemble. The “Thot S###” performer decided to dress up as the iconic horror character Pinhead from the Hellraiser franchise.
“Pain has a face. Allow me to show you. Gentlemen, I am pain. 🩸#hottieween,” wrote Megan Thee Stallion in the Instagram caption.
https://www.instagram.com/p/CVanfwKln_e/
She later added in a separate IG video post, “Y’all already know my hottieween party [about to be] LIT this year 🖤🖤🖤 I can’t wait to see everyone’s costume 😈.”
The original Clive Barker-directed Hellraiser film came out in 1987. Numerous sequels followed over the years. A rebooted Hellraiser is scheduled to be released on the Hulu streaming platform in the near future.
Megan Thee Stallion is a huge fan of Halloween season and horror movies. In 2019, she released theMegan Thee Stallion P.I. in: Hottieween trilogy. R&B singer/music video director Teyana “Spike Tee” Taylor was behind the camera for the digital series.
At this point, Boosie Badazz can no longer deny he has homophobic views. The Baton Rouge-raised rapper made it perfectly clear what he thinks about openly gay entertainer Lil Nas X and the LGBTQ community at large.
This lead to widespread condemnation. Twitter took down Boosie’s tweet because other users reported it as being abusive and harmful. However, the “Wipe Me Down” performer did not backtrack on his comments.
Boosie returned to Twitter to write:
IF YALL THINK THE WHOLE WORLD HATE ME “YALL TRIPPIN.“ I HAVE INTERNATIONAL LOVE N RESPECT FOR HOW I AM N WHAT I STAND FOR. 🙌🏽 n never forget THERES A GHETTO N EVERY CITY, STATE, COUNTRY ETC. WHO ROCK WITH BOOSIE FRFR #therealest

Doug E. Fresh has revealed that Biz Markie’s verse featured on his newest album, “This One’s For Chuck Brown: Doug E. Fresh Salutes The Godfather of Go-Go”, is the last one Markie ever recorded.
“I was on an interview with Biz on June 17, and I think around a little after that day is when I heard that Biz had gotten rushed to the hospital,” the beatbox pioneer said. “I didn’t know what it was for, but I assumed that it was diabetes-related because I’ve always talked to Biz about his health and watching out and looking out what he’d eat and stuff like that. And then, later on, I found out that it was.
He recalled finding out that Biz died from complications from Type II Diabetes and a stroke. “You know, stroke is the number one debilitating disease in the world. And most people sometimes don’t bounce back from a stroke that easy, depending on the magnitude of the stroke. So it was hard for him. He fought. He fought a good fight.”
Fresh initially hoped Biz could pull through.
“When I heard the news, I kept the doors of hope open, thinking that he will be OK and we ain’t gotta worry about Biz, he’s going to bounce back,” he said. “We know Biz. Biz is strong. Biz is going to do it. And as time started going, I started getting more information, and things wasn’t really going that well, I would constantly call, send pictures and flyers of things that we would do before. So it was kind of like … it’s weird how this album came out with Biz on it, and I didn’t plan that either.”
Unaware of the significance at the time, Biz recorded his last verse for the Go-Go version of “The Show” for Fresh’s project, his first solo album in 26 years.
“I didn’t know that this would be the last recording of Biz,” he said. ” Biz would make you laugh, joke around, make you feel good. I appreciate it. He was a good brother, so his spirit will live on.”

The gaming industry has been buzzing in the last few days with rumors of a new action RPG based on the legendary Wu-Tang Clan.
Multiple reports suggest Xbox Game Studios is working on the project with Brass Lion Entertainment. Word is, Wu-Tang Clan is set to compose the soundtrack for the game which is based on Wu-Tang Clan lore.
Video game reporter Jez Corden first made the claims a few days ago on the “Xbox Two Podcast.” Corden said that he received reports of the project a few months back. According to what he heard; the game will be a third-person fantasy action RPG that emphasizes melee combat. The anime-inspired game would allow for four different players to play at once.
Another video game reporter Jeff Grubb revealed that he was receiving the same reports. On his show “GamesBeat Decides,” he also claimed that the game’s working title is “Project Shaolin” and is in the early stages of development.
The specific details about the Wu-Tang Clan-based RPG remain unknown. No release date has been announced but its launch is expected to include seasonal content.
Wu-Tang Clan previously ventured into the games market with “Wu-Tang: Shaolin Style,” a Sony PlayStation fighting game. The game was based on the group’s characters.
After months of speculation, the revelation came last week that a private investment collective called PleasrDAO purchased the Wu-Tang Clan’s “Once Upon a Time in Shaolin” album. The government sold the project for $4 million after seizing it from Martin Shkreli.
Kodak Black recently took to Instagram Live and attempted to address the viral video of him grabbing his mother’s butt. His bizarre response has also gone viral as he seemed to make the situation even more controversial.
The video that sees Kodak’s attempt to explain the clip of him dancing with his mother was shared widely on Saturday (Oct. 23.)
“When I see my mama, homie, I adore her, homie,” Kodak Black said. “I kiss her feet, homie, what you talkin’ bout boy… Some of you n-ggas don’t even holla at your mama.” He continued explaining, “Some of you n-ggas don’t even call your mama, homie. Some of you n-ggas don’t even spend time with your mama, homie. She ain’t trippin’. I don’t give a f### what you talkin’ bout, n-gga. I grabbed my mama because I treat my mama like my lady, n-gga. That’s my queen, n-gga.”
Things took an even more strange turn when he added, “I don’t f### my mama, we ain’t doin’ no crazy s###. I grab her, like I make her feel real beautiful. I remind my mama, ‘You beautiful, I’m f##### up bout you ma, I’m in love with you.’”
In the original clip, Kodak Black can be seen dancing with his mother, attempting to kiss her on the mouth and grabbing her butt. Kodak’s mother, Marcelene Octave, looks visibly uncomfortable and tries to laugh off the awkward exchange.
Earlier this week, Kodak Black shared some information about his father when commenting on a viral story. It was reported that a 61-year-old Florida man allegedly married his 18-year-old goddaughter. Kodak didn’t see what all the fuss was about and claimed his own father had a similar union.
“SMH my daddy did this same sh*t,” he wrote in a since-deleted post. “Left us to start another family with his goddaughter, I was about 9. But I ain’t judging nobody. To each’s own. It could be true love.”

Billboard reports that “Punk” reached the top of the chart after amassing 90,000 equivalent album units. 77,000 of those came from SEA units, equalling 102 million on-demand streams of the album’s tracks. 12,000 accounted for pure album sales.
In the end, Drake took the second spot with 83,000 units sold after Drake spent four non-consecutive weeks atop the Billboard 200 chart. “CLB” has spent a total of 7 weeks on the chart and is yet to drop below No.2.
Young Thug may have softened the blow with his choice of birthday gift for the 6 God, who turned 35 this weekend. Thug gifted Drake a custom double-sided chain with the OVO emblem on one side and an image of Drake’s son, Adonis on the other.
Thugger must have been feeling generous this weekend as 21 Savage also received his own one-of-a-kind gift from Young Thug. He gifted 21 a custom TRX truck with “21 Savage” emblazoned on the side and decorated with knives.
Earlier this week, Young Thug’s collaboration with Elton John and Nicki Minaj, “Always Love You”, was released.
Elton had praised Young Thug’s ability to freestyle. He revealed to Billboard:
“I mean, I’ve seen Marshall [Mathers] do it in Detroit, but I’ve never seen someone like Thug come in and do that,” Elton explained. “In the end, I had to leave because I think he felt a bit intimidated that I was there and I just wanted him to relax. But it’s just an amazing moment in my musical life… I have no understanding of how rap records are put together and it’s fascinating to watch.”
