Red Bull announced the return of Red Bull SoundClash. Four upcoming shows are set for Chicago, Atlanta, Houston, and Nashville this fall.
The Atlanta show on November 30 will be headlined by a Love Renaissance (LVRN) Special. Shelley (fka DRAM) will face off against Westside Boogie.
The Suffers vs. Tank and the Bangas will take place in Houston on December 2. A week later, Bren Joy is scheduled to battle an opponent to be determined at a later date. That musical duel is happening in Nashville.
The 2021 Red Bull SoundClash United States series culminates in Chicago. On December 15, DMV’s Rico Nasty and Detroit’s Danny Brown will go head-to-head in the Windy City.
A description for the Red Bull SoundClash reads:
Red Bull SoundClash enables artists to push their musical boundaries through exploring music styles, battling, repertoires, and artist collaborations while empowering the audience to become more than spectators to decide the winner. Inspired by the culture of competing soundsystems originating in Kingston, Jamaica, Red Bull SoundClash is set over multiple rounds as bands and artists musically duke it out with the recipient of the biggest crowd reaction (captured on a decibel meter) to be crowned champion. While these artists may be competing against each other at every turn, SoundClash is ultimately a celebration of the power of live music, collaboration, and creative empowerment.
Tickets information for Red Bull SoundClash is available at redbull.com.
Issa Rae is currently doing the media rounds to promote her HBO program. The Los Angeles-born actress/writer appeared on The Tamron Hall Show where she was asked about potentially making an Insecure movie.
“I always say if you see an Insecure movie, it means I’m down bad. It means I’m not doing well in life. I don’t want to do a movie,” said Issa Rae. “It’s a finite story. And I just don’t want to see an Insecure movie, unless I’m doing badly.”
Fellow Insecure cast members Yvonne Orji and Kendrick Sampson were interviewed on The Tamron Hall Show as well. Both co-stars spoke about Insecure‘s closing episodes.
“I think it’s incredible to be a part of something historic. And that really makes Black people feel valued and has been transformational in this type of storytelling we see about us. So I’m just grateful to be on the ride,” stated Kendrick Sampson.
Yvonne Orji added, “I mean I cried the whole final episode. So I told Issa after the table read, I was like, ‘Yo, you sent us out very well, and I appreciate the heck out of you.’ She wrote an amazing finale and Prentice [Penny] did an amazing job directing it. I don’t think there was anything else left on the table.”

Dr. Dre is in the midst of a contentious divorce from Nicole Young that has garnered numerous headlines since the papers were first filed. Things were bitter before, and they may have just ratcheted up a notch further if the most recent revelations are anything to go by.
The latest news comes courtesy of a TMZ exclusive. The outlet reports that Dr. Dre was handed papers while laying his beloved grandmother to rest on Monday (October 18.) A process server for his ex-wife attempted to serve him with legal documents in the divorce while at the cemetery.
According to TMZ, a source with direct knowledge told them that the process server initially attempted service of the papers at the burial site. The claim is disputed but they say Dr. Dre was standing graveside next to his grandmother’s casket when the process service first attempted to give him the papers.
It is unknown what transpired in the interim but sources close to Nicole Young say that Dre was in fact served in the cemetery’s parking lot after the burial.
Dre refused to take the documents and was understandably furious. Source for the opposing parties disagrees on exactly how service was achieved. Dr. Dre’s sources are saying the process server dropped the papers at the gravesite. Nicole Young’s source disputes this and says the papers were dropped in the parking lot of the Los Angeles cemetery.
The proceedings have appeared pretty hostile up to now and it doesn’t get much more acrimonious than this latest round.
Busta Rhymes was in attendance at the historic Verzuz showdown between KRS-One and Big Daddy Kane at the weekend. His appearance there reignited the debate “Who could take Busta in a Verzuz battle?”
According to Rock Steady Crew’s Crazy Legs, Busta says five people have turned him down!
“I had to let @bustarhymes know that no one is worthy enough to battle him. Then he told me that 5 people already turned it down. Some things are just what they are,” he wrote on Instagram. “He has the unfortunate pleasure of being a god in the rap game. Shout out to @therealswizzz for the #BDP outfit of the day!”
Bus-a-Bus took to the stage briefly on Saturday at Verzuz’s new ICONZ series headlined by dancehall legend Super Cat. “Find me a worthy Verzuz opponent. KRS, I’ll see you tomorrow,” he said, before dropping the mic and walking offstage.
Busta Rhymes has wanted to take part in a Verzuz for some time. In October last year, he called out T.I On Instagram Live with Fat Joe.
“From one brother that loves you, to my brother that knows I love him, I’m begging you to step in the ring with me. I’mma bust your a–,” “Let me tell you something, we’re going to do it with grace, but I’mma bust T.I.–I’mma bust your a–,” he continued. “C’mon T.I., let’s have fun.”
T.I Responded by saying that the generation gap is too large to make it competitive. “Busta bust, Busta bust. Look, I f— with you Bust, and I respect my elders, man. No cap, I ain’t trying to be funny about it at all, but just speaking honestly,” he continued. “I didn’t know we were reaching back through generations. That’s a huge generational gap in there, isn’t it? I have a huge amount of respect for you, exponential amount of respect for you. You know what I’m saying?”
After T.I turned it down he told Complex, “I would love to spar against anybody … as long as their catalog is a powerful catalog, because I don’t want to do a corny Verzuz,” he said. “I don’t wanna do no Verzuz with anybody whose catalog isn’t crazy. And I would love to do a Verzuz with somebody that I’m a fan of, because I’m only trying to compete with people that brings the best out of me.” He named Eminem, Lil Wayne, and Jay-Z as his top three picks. He also said he’s not opposed to taking on two artists at the same time!
We Won’t Be Seeing Busta Rhymes vs. Fat Joe Any Time Soon…
Fat Joe has already taken his name out of the hat. Speaking in September he said: “Fat Joe scared to do Verzuz with Busta Rhymes and so is everybody else,” he said on Instagram. “Busta Rhymes is gonna outrap, outperform anybody who goes up in a Verzuz with him. That’s a fact. Yo, Busta Rhymes nobody wanna get in there with you, man. You might have to be an honorary — they gotta give you the check for no reason.”
Check out Busta Rhymes on stage performing “Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See.”
Cardi B is continuing to fight the ongoing court case against her. She is facing charges stemming from a brawl at a strip club in Flushing, Queens back in 2018.
CBS New York reports that Cardi B is due back in court next week for another hearing. The New York native was given the opportunity to plead guilty to third-degree assault in exchange for a conditional discharge. Cardi turned the offer down, instead opting to enter a plea of not guilty on all charges.
The superstar rapper is facing charges of reckless endangerment and assault for her alleged involvement in the brawl. A further hearing is reportedly set for Monday in Queens and unless the parties involved can reach an agreement beforehand, the matter will proceed to trial. If this happens, Cardi could find herself facing up to four years behind bars.
The superstar rapper is accused of throwing a bottle at two bartenders at Angels Strip Club in Queens after they got a little too close to her husband, Offset. Jade, one of the bartenders, is the ex-girlfriend of Tekashi 6ix9ine. She claims that Cardi B ordered some henchmen to rough up her and her sister when they worked in the club. Rumour has it that Cardi believed the sisters, Jade and Baddie Gi, had sex with Offset.
Cardi B Responds
Cardi B took to Twitter to vent…and to respond to a few people who had some things to say about the prospect of her going to jail.
“They wanna see a bad b#### do bad,” she said, presumably to those praying for her downfall.
Never one to shy away from her critics, Cardi politely clapped back with, “Before I go to prison you gone see me breakin more records and making more Ms.”
Before I go to prison you gone see me breakin more records and making more Ms 👅 https://t.co/LQWk6CSPe8
Giovanti Humphries is the chief financial officer of one of the largest privately-held cannabis business companies in the US. Through his effective business management and hard work as an entrepreneur, he made himself a certified billionaire through his multiple businesses. Giovanti is based in California, the largest market for cannabis worldwide, which made it easy for him to achieve such a feat.
In most states in the US, especially California, cannabis continues to make huge waves as a recreational and therapeutic medium. To raise awareness of cannabis’ benefits to the public, Giovanti built a brand that is accessible to the masses. Through his company, he looks to deliver one of the largest exports of cannabis to the rest of the world in the years to come.
Giovanti is optimistic about the future of cannabis and what it will do to the entire business landscape in California. He believes that once interstate commerce begins to open full-swing, American consumers will look for cannabis grown in California due to its world-class quality. Giovanti initially planned for a large-scale enterprise to top the supply chain but decided to build a brand first to drive growth.
With an impressive track record in business, Giovanti has helped countless companies build and scale their organizational management. Due to this rich experience, it was easy for him to leverage into building cannabis brands. Giovanti became famous for building and managing a billion-dollar business for a US banking company. He was able to use this experience and the fundamentals he learned to build a cannabis empire.
Giovanti’s life was not without struggles, as for a time, he was homeless and found it hard to keep himself fed. He remained strong despite these discouraging experiences by working hard to finish college and get into business school. Giovanti was fortunate to be gifted with intelligence as he finished his degree at business school as the youngest in his entire class.
After finishing his master’s degree in business administration at age 23, Giovanti went on to work at Wells Fargo and became its vice president. He also rendered his services to City National Bank as its vice president before working as the chief financial officer at Initial Coin Offerings. Giovanti has worked with numerous law firms navigating legislation on cryptocurrency before starting his own company.
Giovanti believes that investing in people is the most important decision any business could ever make. Just like Steve Jobs, he trusts his people to do their jobs efficiently instead of constantly telling them what to do. Giovanti maintains that a large company can only hold onto its success if it has the right people for the right job.
Now a certified billionaire, Giovanti’s hopes for the future are less about himself but more about the growth and development of the use of cannabis. People can check out his pages onInstagram,Facebook,LinkedIn,Twitter, andTikTok to learn more about his advocacy and work. Giovanti has many plans for his multiple businesses, which he plans on utilizing to provide service to others.

New York City based Entrepreneur and Philanthropist Boaz BagBag has established another new business. He’s been able to create funding for the business with the help of some investors from Wall Street. So far Boaz has been able to obtain a good amount of start-up funding for his latest business endeavor. Always a smart businessman, Boaz has clearly put together a solid business plan for the company.
And more importantly, others can also see his vision and are willing to support it. The first round of funding being issued out for the company will be in the amount of $50 million. This round of funding will only be used for the car rentals, the deliveries, and the fleet operations. As you can imagine, these are very crucial areas to the success of the company. Which of course means they will also require consistent and steady funding.
This new company endeavor will help bring in a substantial amount of high value jobs throughout the East Coast and Down South as well. Boaz is opening up the business’s first locations in the New York, Washington DC, Miami, and Atlanta areas. And of course they will be opening up other locations in different areas and states as they continue to expand. The company will offer a variety of programs allowing for numerous people to be able to get a job.
But most of their programs will be catering to the minority communities in the areas where they open up locations. By creating these steady jobs, Boaz is looking to provide new opportunities and better features to minority communities such as the Spanish and Black communities. The company is also working with Non Profit Organizations and other agencies to help better the communities they’re in and the surrounding areas.
An interview Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos gave to Deadline, Variety, and The Hollywood Reporter was published last night where he addressed the backlash the organization has received after airing the special.
In the interview, Sarandos acknowledged responsibility and said:
“First, right upfront, I screwed up the internal communication — and I don’t mean just mechanically. I feel I should’ve made sure to recognize that a group of our employees was hurting very badly from the decision made, and I should’ve recognized upfront before going into a rationalization of anything the pain they were going through. I say that because I respect them deeply, and I love the contribution they have at Netflix. They were hurting, and I should’ve recognized that first.”
He further states that his stance remains unchanged. He was asked if he had second thoughts about his decision to address the issue in internal emails and his statement in one that content “does not translate to real-world harm.”
Sarandos wrote in the internal email to employees, “While some employees disagree, we have a strong belief that content on screen doesn’t directly translate to real-world harm. As a leadership team, we do not believe that The Closer is intended to incite hatred or violence against anyone (per our Sensitive Content guidelines).”
He responded by saying that this was unchartered territory as their internal emails have never been leaked to the press before and that “they were a conversation in progress.” He continued saying that the email “landed like a big blanket statement.” The statement intended to convey that “of course storytelling has an impact on the real world — sometimes positive and sometimes negative.”
He concluded, “It’s impossible to please everybody but we are trying to please a world that is made of people of different tastes, sensibilities and beliefs, and it becomes very difficult to do that for everybody.”

Big Daddy Kane and KRS-One still have the people talking. The rumors continue to come in bulk. Now, if you were looking at the battle, you may have noticed some various tensions, mishaps and even confusion at different points in the night. This spawned a few rumors that have yet to be fully answered. I almost did not address this, but yesterday Fat Joe did an Instagram conversation with Kane that touched on the rumor. So here it is.
Big Daddy Kane, at one point during the Verzuz, began to freestyle a pre-written rap that was not a song. Afterward, KRS-One then recites a rap off the top of the dome, which didn’t quite hit as hard. He then quickly adjusts and brings out Das EFX, the rap duo from EPMD’s#### Squad. This presented an interesting scenario, where they became unevenly yoked in the battle. As the night went on, there were other freestyles that were said on stage but they didn’t quite go head to head in the way as it was pre-planned. Kane was very diplomatic when he spoke to Fat Joe, stating that they did not go head to head in battle but they did get all the freestyles in. My rumors previously stated that they were to battle head-to-head for five rounds. This is in conjunction with previous interviews we’ve conducted that stated as much.
https://www.instagram.com/p/CVLvN1MvP-m/
However, those five rounds were split up a little bit differently than we expected. And this leads to the next rumor. DJ Scratch was condemned a bit because people said he was being an aggressive bully, trying to do too much from the stage. Again, if you look at AllHipHop‘s interviews with both Kane and KRS, they both wanted to represent Hip-Hop to the fullest. That is why you saw breakdancers on stage doing their thing in the midst of a rap battle. What most people don’t understand is that there was supposed to be a DJ battle as well (APPARENTLY), which is why you saw a champion like DJ Scratch and a King like DJ Kid Capri on the stage. We did not see DJ Mister Cee (BDK’s first DJ) or producer/DJ Marly Marl, because I think they wanted a different type of show.
It looks like when KRS-One pulled an audible, Kane did too.
Kane had too much respect for Kid Capri (KRS’s DJ!) to see DJ Scratch perform surgery on him with his tricks on the ones and twos. If you notice, once Kane saw that Kid Capri had nothing for him substantive in that turntable department, he made Scratch stand down and just go back to playing the records for the format of the show. Now in Chuck Creekmur‘s Instagram live conversation, Crazy Legs stated that Kid Capri was the one that set off the new tone with the DJs when he started to rap against DJ Scratch. REMEMBER THAT? BUT Scratch had already gone at The Kid surgically scratching “wack DJ Kid Capri.” It got ugly really fast and I think Kane wanted to keep the tone very positive.
Swizz Beatz, Crazy Legs, Charlie Mack and others got on Instagram to talk Verzuz!
By the way, Big Daddy Kane had to rappers…Scoob and Scrap. Well…Only Scrap showed up! I heard there may be a “thing” between him and Kane. Scoob now goes by the name Johnny Famous and is doing his own thing so maybe he does not wanna be a dancer in 2021! I dunno! He said something on IG:
So where do we go from here? I think we all got what we wanted out of that Verzuz! We got to legends at the top of their game still duking it out in a way that there was no clear winner. The “winner” is whoever you wanted the winner to be. I believe it was a DRAW but if you don’t believe that, fine! I think that we all won and that is what is most important.
There’e MORE…maybe I will have more rumor in the future.
Who will be the next Verzuz battle? Tell me what you think in the comments!
Earlier this week, Nicki Minaj wrote a letter to the judge, saying her lack of reply was due to a miscommunication between her and one of her managers.
The rap star said she meant to retain attorney Judd Burstein after a conversation shortly after becoming aware of the legal action.
But her manager did not realize Nicki had approved the payment to retain Burstein, and as a result, the complaint went unanswered.
After he was formally hired to represent Nicki, Burstein asked the judge to set aside the default judgment, so Nicki could adequately defend herself against the accusations Hough made.
In August, Jennifer Hough filed her lawsuit claiming Nicki and her husband Kenneth were harassing, bullying, and threatening her in an attempt to force her to recant rape allegations against Kenneth, who was convicted of the crime in 1995.
Hough claims the couple offered her as much as $500,000 to recant so that Kenneth could get his name off of the National Sex Offender Registry list.
Nicki Minaj’s husband is facing up to 10 years in prison after he pleaded guilty to failing to register as a sex offender in California, where he moved to be with the superstar rapper who was pregnant with their son.
Earlier today (October 19th), Jennifer Hough’s lawyers protested the ruling in Nicki Minaj’s favor and asked the judge overseeing the case to reconsider slapping the rapper with the default judgment.
One of Hough’s newly retained lawyers, Steven N. Gordon, said his client is still being subjected to threats from Nicki’s “mentally deranged” fans.
“Even after commencing the Action on August 13th, 2021, Ms. Maraj continued to shamelessly hurl insults to denigrate Ms. Hough,” Steven N. Gordon said. “Yet, while Ms. Maraj had time to make such disparaging statements on her Twitter account and enflame her mentally deranged fans into sending death threats to Ms. Hough and her counsel, Mr. [Tyrone] Blackburn, she ignored responding to the Amended Complaint.”
Gordon asked Judge Eric N. Vitaliano to “issue the Certificate of Default Judgment against Ms. Maraj for failure to timely respond to the Amended Complaint.”
“Despite Ms. Maraj ‘s celebrity status, she must be held to the same rules as everyone else,” Jennifer Hough’s lawyer Steven N. Gordon asked of the judge.
In an interesting twist, the default judgment against Kenneth Zoo Petty is still in place. The clerk upheld the default judgment against Kenneth for failing to respond to the lawsuit.
According to documents, it appears that Judd Burstein is only representing Nicki Minaj and not her husband.
