Boosie Has Opinions on Lil Nas X’s ‘Pregnancy’ & They’re Exactly What You Expect

Boosie has opinions about Lil Nas X‘s pregnancy shoot, and they’re exactly what you’d expect they are.

In a tweet posted yesterday, the “Wipe Me Down” rapper feels that this is only the beginning of the “Montero” rapper’s “reign of terror,” and it’s time to hide your wife, hide your kids…you know the rest.

Not that anyone expected Boosie to issue a Harvard Business School-worthy dissertation, but his tweet raises a few questions.

First of all, “God is turning over in his grave”? Is God dead, Torrence? Maybe you meant Jesus — no, wait, he came back after three days. Which God is in his grave, Boosie? Were you watching Avengers: Infinity War and mourning the death of Thor? (Not that I blame you if that’s the case. I mean, have you seen Chris Hemsworth’s luscious locks?)

Second, “protect yours”? From what, sir? Little boys and girls have been sticking basketballs under their shirts pretending to be pregnant since time immemorial. Are you suggesting we protect “ours” from the threat of basketballs? Or maybe you’re suggesting we “protect ours” from men who hire sex workers to sexually assault our underage boys? Nah, you couldn’t be saying that, could you?

I mean, Boosie, sir, you seem to have an awful lot of concern about the genitalia of young Black boys — and young Black girls. You also seem to be under the impression that abusing said children is acceptable. You even reach a point where you harass people who are doing their jobs in affordable gyms.

All this anger isn’t healthy, sir. Have you considered therapy, Torrence? It just might help.

Soulja Boy Ends Week Of Trolling Kanye West With New ‘Swag 4’ Album

Soulja Boy’s Twitter feed over the last seven days has been consumed with attacking Kanye West. The outspoken recording artist was apparently upset about being left off of West’s Donda album.

Things may have gone too far when Soulja Boy brought Kanye West’s estranged wife into the conflict. The 31-year-old “Crank That” hitmaker tweeted, “I was the first rapper [with] @KimKardashian not [you] 😉 @kanyewest 😂.”

Soulja Boy’s targeted trolling of Kanye West appears to have also been a promotional tactic. On Friday morning, Soulja released his latest 14-track music project Swag 4.

One of the Swag 4 songs is titled “Shawn Carter,” the real name of billionaire Hip Hop legend Jay-Z. On the record, Soulja Boy namedrops Jay-associated locations and companies such as Marcy Projects, Roc-A-Fella Records, and Roc Nation.

The SODMG leader previously let loose full-length studio LPs like 2007’s Souljaboytellem.com, 2010’s The DeAndre Way, 2015’s Loyalty, and 2021’s Big Draco. Soulja Boy has also dropped dozens of mixtapes.

Souljaboytellem.com is the only Soulja Boy album to land in the Top 5 of the Billboard 200 rankings when it peaked at #4. Three of his projects – souljaboytellem.com, iSouljaBoyTellem, and The DeAndre Way – made it into the Top 10 of Billboard’s Top Rap Album chart.

Drake Dedicates ‘Certified Lover Boy’ Album To Nadia Ntuli & Mercedes Morr

After months of delays, Certified Lover Boy finally arrived today (September 3). Drake’s sixth studio LP includes features by Jay-Z, Lil Baby, Lil Durk, Travis Scott, Future, Young Thug, 21 Savage, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, and more.

The highly-anticipated album instantly dominated social media conversations. Plus, Certified Lover Boy quickly climbed to #1 on the iTunes all-genre chart, surpassing Kanye West’s recently released Donda.

Drake and his fans celebrated the delivery of Certified Lover Boy on DSPs. The OVO Sound frontman also used the body of work to pay tribute to deceased Instagram influencers Nadia Ntuli and Jenae “Miss Mercedes Morr” Gagnier.

“A combination of toxic masculinity and acceptance of truth which is inevitably heartbreaking. Executive produced by me, Noah “40” Shebib, Oliver El-Khatib, and Noel Cadastre. Dedicated to Nadia Ntuli and Mercedes Morr. RIP 💖,” reads an Apple Music description for Certified Lover Boy written by Drake.

Nadia Ntuli, who was said to be a close friend of Drake, reportedly died in a motor vehicle accident earlier this year. Very few details about her death were made public. Apparent associates of Nadia Ntuli, like Tanzanian activist Mange Kimambi, shared their condolences on social media.

Mercedes Morr was allegedly killed in a murder-suicide on August 29. She was found dead in her Texas apartment. The Richmond Police Department identified the suspect as 34-year-old Kevin Accorto. A medical examiner determined Accorto stabbed himself to death.

Fellow Hip Hop superstar Cardi B also spoke out about the death of Mercedes Morr. According to TMZ, Morr’s family was grateful the Invasion of Privacy album creator brought awareness to the 33-year-old woman’s tragic passing.

“So sad and f### you b###### and nikkas trying to justify it cause of her lifestyle. Ya will hate on a bad b#### dead or alive. She was a sweetheart,” wrote Cardi B on an Instagram Story about Mercedes Morr.

Drake Credits R. Kelly As Co-Lyricist on ‘Certified Lover Boy’ Album

Rapper Drake’s new album Certified Lover Boy dropped early morning on Friday (September 3) and it appears that the Canadian hitmaker has boldly included R. Kelly as a co-lyricist on one of his songs.

The song that the disgraced R&B singer appears to have co-written is “TSU.”

Also included as contributors to the song are Justin Timberlake, C. Cross, and F. Hills.

https://twitter.com/jrdnnss/status/1433672168722903049?s=20

The sample used seems to be a chopped-and-screwed version of “Your Body’s Calling” from Kelly’s 12 Play album.

Fans are wondering if the inclusion of the accused pedophile is an act of support or a wise decision.

At the moment, the 54-year-old is the center of a federal trial in New York City, facing charges of racketeering “predicated on criminal conduct including sexual exploitation of children, kidnapping, forced labor, and Mann Act violations involving the coercion and transportation of women and girls in interstate commerce to engage in illegal sexual activity.”

During the trial, which is already 11 days in, the jury has met several women (and one man) who have testified that not only did the “Bump N’ Grind” singer initiate sexual relationships with them when they were teens, but also gave them genital herpes.

One woman, who is referred to as Faith, says that not only did he transmit the incurable disease to her, but did not tell her. She only realized she had it when she saw sores in her mouth and on her v##### afterward.

As reported by AllHipHop.com, Kelly, when he was 27, also illegally married his protégé, Aaliyah Haughton, when she was 15.

The officiant of that 1994 ceremony also took the stand, saying that the singer’s team offered him $25 to $50 to perform the nuptial. The marriage was annulled, and sadly the starlet died six years later.

Drake has gone on record declaring his love for the deceased singer.

In 2009, he referenced her songs in his verse on “Bedrock.” In 2010, he used a sample of “Are You That Somebody” on his song “Unforgettable” on his Thank Me Later album.

On the anniversary of her death in 2010, he wrote a letter in Rap Radar to the “One in A Million” singer, using her middle name. In it, he expressed how deeply her death impacted him.

And in 2011, in addition to getting a tattooed portrait of Aaliyah on his back, he shouted her out on the first verse of his song “Take Care.”

That same year, he got in commemoration of the tenth year of her demise, an ear monitor with her picture on it.

Fans believe that his including R. Kelly on this CLB album just seems disrespectful to her memory.

“Bruh drake had r kelly on the credits wtf”

https://twitter.com/navenjoyer/status/1433746511846850560?s=20

“People are defending this R. Kelly credit, talking about “it’s a sample”… okay?????? So Drake chose to sample his work, knowing he’d have to clear it with R. Kelly, and that Kelly would get a check/royalties. He could’ve done away with the sample/track, he clearly doesn’t care.”

https://twitter.com/byDonnaJo/status/1433684000267194383?s=20

“Watch Drake get a pass for that R Kelly sample.”

https://twitter.com/idashKB/status/1433744692089397249?s=20

“Damn forgot about this.. years from now we really might find out Drake is just like R. Kelly”

Usain Bolt Drops Debut Dancehall Album ‘Country Yutes’

Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt is trying his hand at making music. Today (September 3), Bolt dropped his debut album Country Yutes through his label A-Team Lifestyle Records/UnitedMasters.

The 35-year-old athlete-turned-musician connected with Nugent “NJ” Walker for the project. Country Yutes was named in honor of Bolt and NJ’s rural upbringing in Jamaica.

“If you have followed my career over the years, you would see me always dancing and listening to music,” states Usain Bolt. “It’s no secret to the world that I love music. Music has just always been a part of my DNA.”

Usain Bolt x Nugent “NJ” Walker

Nugent “NJ” Walker and Usain Bolt have known each other since childhood. Besides being close friends for most of their lives, they also have a long-term business relationship.

“Even before I managed him, we were best friends. He shared his troubles with me. Imagine winning at 15. And that transition period between 17-21 was plagued by lots of injuries; there was lots of pressure on him from the Jamaican crowd who were booing him – it was hard for him,” Walker told Sky Sports in 2016.

Usain Bolt is an eight-time Olympic gold medallist. The retired Track and Field legend is the world record holder for the 100 meters, 200 meters, and 4×100 meters relay. Bolt is also an eleven-time World Champion.

Idris Elba Drops “Daily Duppy” Freestyle

Idris Elba, perhaps best loved for his role as Baltimore drug lord and aspiring businessman Stringer Bell in the HBO series “The Wire”, has been putting in that work recently, and not just in his capacity as an actor. The man is a prolific talent!  

Last month, Idris was wowing audiences worldwide with his standout performance as “Bloodsport” in “The Suicide Squad,” the latest film to come out of the DC Universe. There may be an opportunity for Idris to reprise the role. The movie’s Director James Gunn said this week, “There is a possibility of seeing more #Bloodsport in the near future – something I’d love to see! – but there is nothing currently in development.” 

Then yesterday, it was announced that the multi-talented British star would be hosting this year’s “GRM Daily Rated Awards” alongside model Jourdan Dunn. The U.K based Rap and Grime awards celebrate the best in Black British music. The show returns as a virtual ceremony on September 16.

At the same time, Idris also took the opportunity to flex his rapping muscles, jumping on GRM Daily’s popular “Daily Duppy.” 

The versatile artist has been putting out music all year making the spontaneous “Courteney Cox” with Connor Price. He also teamed up with Inner City and Steffanie Christi’an on the track, “No More Looking Back.”  

Idris featured on Wiley’s catchy hit song “Boasty” which also included features from Sean Paul and Stefflon Don. 

The GRM Awards will be streamed on YouTube on September 16. Stormzy, AJ Tracey, Pa Salieu, Headie One, Slowthai, Enny, Shaybo, and Central Cee are among the list of nominees.  

Puff Daddy’s “I’ll Be Missing You” Named Billboard’s Greatest All-Time Song Of the Summer

Back in 1997, Puff Daddy honored his late friend, Christopher “The Notorious B.I.G.” Wallace, with the tribute song “I’ll Be Missing You” with Faith Evans and 112. Biggie was murdered on March 9 of that year.

“I’ll Be Missing You” spent a record-breaking 11 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The track by Puff Daddy (aka Sean “Diddy” Combs) also won a Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group.

In addition, Billboard has placed “I’ll Be Missing You” atop the Greatest of All Time Songs of the Summer list. The No Way Out collaboration beat out Brandy and Monica’s “The Boy Is Mine” (#2) and Bobby Lewis’ “Tossin’ and Turnin'” (#3).

“I’ll Be Missing You” has made news for other reasons in recent weeks as well. New York City rapper Sauce Money recently spoke about his contribution to the single and the alleged lack of compensation he was supposed to receive for his work.

“I missed out on about $4 million,” said Sauce Money. “We did something as far as the publishing deal that I had which is why I never really went at Puff because we figured something out on that end.”

He added, “That song generates about $730,000 a year. So you figure 10% of that is $73,000 and 20% is $146,000. You multiply that by 24, 25. So if I had a problem with him, you could understand, right?”

Chlöe Bailey Announces Release Date For Debut Single “Have Mercy”

As a member of the R&B duo known as Chloe x Halle, singer/songwriter Chlöe Bailey was part of several music projects like 2018’s The Kids Are Alright and 2020’s Ungodly Hour. Bailey is now ready to go solo.

Chlöe Bailey announced she is dropping her new single titled “Have Mercy” this week. The 23-year-old Georgia native is set to release the song on September 10.

In addition, Chlöe Bailey will provide a premiere performance of “Have Mercy” at the 2021 MTV Video Music Awards on September 12. She and her sister Halle Bailey appeared during last year’s Pre-Show with a performance of “Ungodly Hour.”

Chlöe Bailey has gone viral on social media several times in recent months. The Beyoncé protégé made waves when she posted cover versions of songs like Cardi B’s “Be Careful” and Drake’s “Marvins Room.” Plus, she made headlines for her rendition of “Feeling Good” on Good Morning America.

Fans of Chlöe Bailey can also look forward to her solo album arriving in the near future. According to the Grown-ish cast member, the forthcoming body of work has been in the works for at least two years.

“I started working on this album in 2019, a month or two before the pandemic hit. I put a pause on it so my sister and I could promote Ungodly Hour, but in between, I was in my bedroom creating at night. I’d be making my own beats and working on songs and ideas for this project that I knew would come, I just didn’t know when,” said Chlöe Bailey.

Kanye West Previews Unreleased Track With André 3000

Kanye West has given an interview for the first time since releasing the much anticipated “DONDA” album last week. Yeezy, spotted touring art exhibitions in Berlin this week, spoke to the German tabloid newspaper, “Blid” to talk about his plans now that “DONDA” is out.   

He revealed the purpose of his trip to Berlin – he plans to meet some of his favorite architects to discuss plans to rebuild schools in his hometown of Chicago. He will also be working on new music while over there saying, “God put me on this earth to make music,” said Kanye. “God put Demna here to design. God put Tadao Andō here to create architecture. God gifted Turrell. God all send us here for a certain reason and I have to make music.”  

He continued, “I produce music in my thoughts, no matter where I am.” Kanye then played a new song featuring André 3000. He didn’t say whether the track was intended for the “DONDA” album or a forthcoming project. A tiny snippet of the unreleased track made its way to social media.  

Kanye and the ATLien have made some great music together in the past, both appearing on Chris Brown’s “Deuces (Remix)” and Fonzworth Bentley’s “Everybody.”  

Yesterday, Kanye dropped the video from “Come to Life,” the first visual from the “DONDA” album. The video features footage from Kanye’s Soldier Field listening event in Chicago. It begins with a birds-eye-view of the replica of his Chicago home that was the stage for the event. Also making the video were scenes from the night of Kanye on fire and Kim Kardashian in a wedding dress, making her way to Kanye in the center of the stadium.  

Drake Drops “Certified Lover Boy”

After months of speculation, Drake’s highly-anticipated sixth studio album, “Certified Lover Boy” is here! 

Drizzy dropped the official tracklist two hours before the album’s release, a handwritten one although it lacked any features.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CTWEDf7M34x/

However, Drake revealed the names of most of those included on the album in typical superstar fashion. In the few days leading up to the official release, he erected billboards across the US and Canada teasing who was on the album.  

https://www.instagram.com/p/CTTLvHhs8Fa/?utm_source=ig_embed

The billboard in New York didn’t actually name an artist, reading simply, “HEY NEW YORK THE GOAT IS ON CLB.”

Speculation was rife as to exactly who Drizzy was referring to – Hov? Nas? Nicki? Well, we know now Drake’s Greatest of All Time is Jay-Z, featured on the track “Love All.”

The follow-up to 2018’s “Scorpion” features 21 songs with guest appearances from Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, Future, Lil Durk, Rick Ross, Travis Scott, Young Thug, Lil Baby, 21 Savage, Project Pat, and more.  

“CLB”s lead single “Laugh Now Cry Later” was released almost a year ago in August 2020. The song, featuring Durk, peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. 

“CLB” is a shorter project than “Scorpion” which had 25 songs. Speaking about the length of the project in an interview last February, Drake said, “Last album, I went high volume. It did two sides, 20-something songs, which is a lot of songs. This album, I’ll probably make it a more realistic offering, something more concise. Anywhere, whatever you want, it can be 10, 11, 16. I also do a lot of different types of music so it’s tough to make it like a seven-song album or something like that. Yea, I’m having a lot of fun right now making music.” 

Drake’s Certified Lover Boy Tracklist:  

1. “Champagne Poetry”  

2. “Papi’s Home” featuring Nicki Minaj  

3. “Girls Want Girls” featuring Lil Baby  

4. “In the Bible” featuring Lil Durk and Giveon  

5. “Love All” featuring Jay-Z

Bobby Shmurda Drops Video for “No Time for Sleep (Freestyle)”

It’s been a long wait for fans of Bobby Shmurda. Since his release from incarceration back in February after 6 years in prison, fans have been eagerly waiting for new music.  

Bobby had been teasing fans all week on social media with snippets of a new single. 

https://www.instagram.com/p/CTMuYzCARlt/
https://www.instagram.com/p/CTVoxKRr4nx/

Now the wait is over! 

“No Time for Sleep (Freestyle),” the first official single from Bobby Shmurda that was first teased earlier this week on social media is here. Bobby took to his Instagram to share a clip of the video that accompanies the track saying, “NO TIME FOR SLEEP SHHHHMOVIE OUT NOW ON @youtube THE LION IS OUT” 

Bobby has taken his time in putting out new music following his six-year prison bid. However, he has been outside, appearing at Rolling Loud Miami recently where he premiered a new song and performed fan favorites “Hot N***a” and “Bobby B####.” Days later, he popped up on the remix of Eladio Carrión and J Balvin’s “Tata.” 

There may also be music coming with Migos. In July, he promised that the long-awaited full-length mixtape with Migos, reportedly titled ” Shmigo Gang,” was on the way. “We got all types of different music coming out,” he said in an interview with Desus & Mero. “We got the Shmurda s### coming out. We got the ‘Shmigos’ s### coming out. It’s going to be a lit summer.” 

Bobby Shmurda recently signed a management deal with Roc Nation and spoke of a spruced-up record deal. He also explained why he didn’t rush out the gate with a “First Day Out” track. ‘I want to go in the streets and cause hell,’ I’m saying, ‘I want to go in the streets and give back,’” Shmurda said. “I feel like that’s gangster.”  

 Bobby is set to appear at “Made in America” in Philadelphia this weekend.  

Fat Joe “Verzuz” Ja Rule Announced

Verzuz has confirmed that the next two artists to go head to head on the platform will be Fat Joe and Ja Rule. Co-founders, Swizz Beatz and Timbaland announced the next match-up on the Verzuz Instagram page.  

The caption read, “Summer ain’t over!! @FATJOE VS @JARULE” TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14 See it LIVE in person, tickets available Tuesday, 9/7 6PM PT / 9PM ET Watch in the @triller app, on your TV with the @fitetv app, or here on @verzuztv Drinks by @Ciroc #VERZUZ #TrillerVerz”  

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by VERZUZ (@verzuztv)

 Both the Terror Squad Captain and the Murda Inc vet previously expressed an interest in doing a Verzuz but not against each other! They both named 50 Cent as an opponent they would like. Back in February 2020, Fat Joe told “The Morning Hustle,” “I think the guys in the trap, I think the girls, I think everybody [would] be like, ‘Oh wow, we got a Verzuz 50 Cent [with] Fat Joe? Oh, I’m tuning into that joint.’… That’ll be the ideal one,” 

 Then in April last year, Fat Joe chopped it up with Swizz Beatz for an episode of “The Fat Joe Show.” Ja Rule was listening in at the time and made it clear he also wanted to step in the ring with 50 Cent, and Fat Joe hyped the idea. “Ja Rule is sayin’ he loves Hip Hop first and foremost and he wants to do this for the culture,” Joe said at the time. “C’mon, you guys want the smoke for real.”

Upon hearing about the idea 50 Cent responded in a since-deleted Instagram post, which featured a homeless person’s body with Ja Rule’s face photoshopped onto the head and holding a sign that reads “I will battle 50 Cent for attention.” 

Then in December Ja said a battle with Fiddy “would make the most sense,” but said it was unlikely to happen. “Listen, man. Everybody don’t want the smoke. Everybody don’t want this smoke. I got heat,” he told HipHopDX about a potential battle against 50 Cent. “Let me tell you something, when I do my shows, I can rock. I’m telling you, it’s like an hour of straight hit records. No filler. All crab meat, n***a. … All meat in that m############ crab cake, n***a.” 

Ja continued saying that he loves the Verzuz platform, “but if I did one, if I did do a Verzuz, I would want my Verzuz to be fun,” he said. “That’s what Verzuz is supposed to be about—the celebration of music and the art, and the artistry.” 

Fat Joe and Ja Rule’s Verzuz will take place at 9 p.m. ET, Sept. 14 in New York City. The event will be live-streamed on the Verzuz Instagram page as well as the Triller and FiteTV apps. Tickets for the event go on sale on September 7.  

Meek Mill & Astyle Alive Potential Reggae Collaboration In The Works

Meek Mill says he needs a reggae song badly and fans are pointing him to Popcaan and Shenseea, two of the leading Jamaican artists right now. Meek Mill‘s most recent album, Championships, was released in 2018, but the artist could not be described as slacking off in his music career. Since Championships‘ release, he’s collaborated with a slew of other artists, including Drake, Ella Mai, and, most recently, Lil Baby, Lil Durk, and Lil Uzi Vert. Currently, he has two new tracks out: Sharing Locations featuring Lil Baby and Lil Durk and Blue Notes2 with Lil Uzi Vert, which dropped on September 1st.

After a three-year wait, fans are eager to discover what he’s been working on behind the scenes for his new album. Fans were granted their wish over the weekend when Meek conducted a Q&A session where he tweeted out, “Album done so soon!” much to their excitement and relief. However, it seems it may not be as soon as fans may think. On August 30th, AStyle Alive queried the possibility of Meek doing a reggae-style song.

“@meekmill wassup with Meek on a reggae vibe type a track?? #TapIn,” he tweeted.
To the surprise of fans, Mill responded, “I want a reggae song badddddddd as s*it on my album … one I can rap on.”

Woman Paralyzed After Being Assaulted Over $9 Drink At Pitbull Concert

Imagine being at a Hip-Hop concert, you accidentally move someone’s drink, and then that person beats you to a pulp.

That’s exactly what happened to 22-year-old Madysen Audet who says that she was in the audience with her friends and family at a Pitbull concert when an older man and others attacked her because he could not find his drink.

Audet’s journey out at the Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion on Sunday evening proved to be a night that she will never forget. Days later, she still has no feeling below her waist.

According to an interview she had with 7News from her bed, it was like a movie.

She said, “I was like this is definitely not where I expected to be right now,” the Gen-Zer said.

“The man climbed over three seats and just uppercut me in the face,” Audet continued. “I flew back like five feet and the next thing I know the girl was on top of me wailing on me a couple of times.”

“There’s no taking it back. You can’t just be like, ‘I’m sorry I’ll undo it,” she said. “It’s not like stealing a drink where you can just replace it. It’s not like stealing somebody’s legs and you can just replace them.”

While it looks grim, she is not losing faith. “I’m kinda hoping with positivity and staying distracted that this isn’t really going to be a reality and that this is just temporary and something I’ll be able to get through,” she shared.

As of right now, the police have not located the culprit, thus no arrests have been made. They have said they are closing in on who started the free-for-all brawl that injured this young woman.

The family has set up a GoFundMe to help with her injuries. At the time of this publishing, the family has raised less than $8,000.

Kanye Tried To Bring Old Chicago Home To Soldier Field Listening Session

Kanye West wanted to transport his entire childhood home to his last Donda listening party.

The “Stronger” rapper commissioned a replica of his boyhood house to be built inside Chicago’s Soldier Field stadium for the third and final preview event for his new album last Thursday (August 26th) but he reportedly only did so after local officials blocked his original plan.

Kanye had made an application to the city’s Building Department, but it was turned down due to logistical issues.

A department representative told the Chicago Sun-Times newspaper: “Moving a home in Chicago is a very technical process that requires structural engineer reports and multiple city permits.

“The request to move the house at 7815 S. South Shore Dr. was denied last week because no permit application had been received to excavate and move the vacant property which is also in Demolition Court.”

The house – which Kanye lived in until he was 20 and re-purchased last year for around $225,000 – has been empty and boarded up for several years, but it is unclear how it was put in demolition court.

The replica home used at the event was the focal point for the show and was placed in the middle of the field. At one point, it was continuously circled by trucks, while dancers dressed in SWAT gear performed their moves around it.

To end the show, Kanye set himself on fire and seemingly re-enacted his wedding vows with estranged wife Kim Kardashian, from whom he split earlier this year.

SpotemGottem Lawyer Blasts Dallas PoliceFor Connecting Rapper To Dallas Murder

Rapper SpotemGottem’s lawyer is suing the Dallas Police Department for lying about their client.

The attorney claims that the force has falsely identified his client as an accomplice in a local murder.

Raven Liberty, who is representing the “Most Wanted” rapper noted that the Homicide Detective Patty Belew was the person who publicly inserted her client into the crime.

Via a statement she wrote, “The libelous statements made by Det. Belew originated from her misunderstanding about a YouTube ‘rap video’ (in fact, a livestream) that Det. Belew claimed was about the death of Reginald Agnew, Jr and taunted the Dallas Police Department.”

She also stated that a “simple Google search” would have quickly set the record straight on SpotemGottem.

Belew went to the press with her bias speculations and stated while pointing to the artist’s social media as proof of her assertions, “That is very bold acting like, ‘Hey, we did this. The police don’t even know who did this and we’re going to get away with murdering this young man.’”

She was wrong about the 19-year-old and had to backtrack on her statements.

“My job is to investigate the information provided to me and eliminate anyone from considering of who could be a potential suspect (s),” she wrote. “I don’t want to ever give up investigating a case. Although I may get other cases, in the back of my mind, I’m still thinking about the other case I have not solved yet.”

Liberty’s full statement is as follows:

“Over the last five days, multiple attempts to contact the Dallas Police Department have been made in an effort to address the reckless, false statements made by Dallas Homicide Detective Patty Belew to Fox4News (KDFW) regarding the involvement of Nehemiah Harden a/k/a Spottemgottem in the death of Reginal Agnew, Jr. Finally, this morning, the Dallas Police Department made contact with my office confirming that Mr. Harden is cleared in the investigation of the murder of Reginal Agnew, Jr. The libelous statements made by Det. Belew originated from her misunderstanding about a YouTube “rap video” (in fact, a live stream) that Det. Belew claimed was about the death of Reginald Agnew, Jr and taunted the Dallas Police Department. Rather than conduct any investigation—a simple Google search would have clarified her error—Det. Belew rushed to speak to the press, openly disparaging my client and linking him to a homicide. Further, Fox4News failed to conduct any fact-checking prior to airing this malicious television interview that named Mr. Harden as a key figure in a murder investigation. To date, neither the Dallas Police Department or Fox4News have issued an apology or retracted the fraudulent and damaging story. This follows days of requests to correct this shocking recklessness as the story disparaging my client and linking him to a murder spread like wildfire. This story has now gone viral around the world with follow-on press reports in the United States, United Kingdom, Netherlands, and India, in addition to millions of impressions made through social media. Given the irreparable harm to my client’s reputation, the foot-dragging in acknowledging their outright false statements, and the outright negligence by speaking authoritatively on a homicide investigation prior to conducting basic due diligence, I am in the process of filing a lawsuit.”

SpotemGottem has not said anything publicly about the case.

EXCLUSIVE: Nicki Minaj Husband’s Associate Accused Of Flashing Gun With Chilling Message To Rape Victim

The woman suing Nicki Minaj and her husband Kenneth Petty claims their campaign of harassment is still happening to her -even after she filed her lawsuit against the couple. 

Jennifer Hough filed a lawsuit against Nicki and Kenneth last month (August of 2021). Hough says the husband and wife duo have been attempting to convince her to recant her allegations that Kenneth raped her in 1994. 

Kenneth served four years in prison for the crime, and he has been listed as a convicted sex offender who has to register in any jurisdiction or state he lives in under the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act. 

Hough claims the coercion campaign ramped in March of 2020, shortly after Kenneth Petty was arrested for failing to register as a sex offender in the state of California. 

The couple allegedly sent a childhood friend named known as “Black” from their Jamaica, Queens New York neighborhood to act as an intermediary to negotiate for them. 

Black supposedly offered Hough $20,000 in cash to withdraw her claims so Petty could get his name off the National Sex Offender Registry. 

When that didn’t work, Hough was contacted by private detectives, lawyers, and other go-betweens – some of whom threatened Hough and made her fear for her life after she turned down $500,000 allegedly offered to her family members.

In August of 2021, Kenneth Petty struck a plea deal with Feds and copped to a charge of failing to register as a sex offender. 

But Black continued to terrorize Hough with a chilling post, according to brand new information obtained by AllHipHop.com. 

Hough’s lawyer claims that shortly after Petty reached his plea with the government, “Black” directly threatened Hough on August 12, in a disturbing post on his Instagram account.  

“Case is over now…Jon Wayne tv coming soon tell that b#### she will be expose case over now 20k huh…u know u don’t f##### uped (sic)…Jon wayne tv…you lying ass b####, 20 thousand,” Black allegedly wrote.

The video ended with a photo of two guns, along with the caption “be safe out here lol..” 

Hough was so scared she filed a police report and has once again moved to another state out of fear of being found and killed by Petty or one of his intermediaries.

Hough is suing Nicki and Kenneth for witness intimidation and intentional infliction of emotional distress for incidents that occurred in California and Georgia. 

She also accuses Nicki of aiding and abetting. The case is ongoing. 

Earlier this week, AllHipHop.com broke the news that Hough’s lawyer claims Nicki and Kenneth Petty’s legal team needs more time to serve the lawsuit on the couple. 

Tyrone Blackburn Esq. told the judge the superstar’s legal team has been ignoring his emails, and phone calls, making it impossible for him to locate the couple.

Cardi B And Offsets $5 Million Mansion Floods After Hurricane Ida Devastates The East Coast

Hurricane Ida don’t care about no GRAMMY.

That is apparently the way the destructive storm was moving, causing just as many problems for your favorite rap stars as she cause to the homies in the hood. Don’t believe it? Just ask Cardi B.

After the storm hit the south, the “WAP” rapper took to social media to share with her fans that she and her family were impacted by flooding.

Wednesday night, she hopped on her Instagram Story to show the puddles of water in her $5.5 million Atlanta home.

She captioned the story, ‘Storm is no joke.’

You could hear signature voice exclaim, “What the fk, yo. This is so fking wack!”

As she walks through the hardwood hallways, you can hear her lament, “Oh my God, it’s starting to stink.”

While we know that this is no joke, the world is a little shocked since we all know that Cardi ain’t afraid to get wet* (Smooth transition to her sexually-tinged music)*.

Many suspect that the chart-topper will link with Megan thee Stallion to mop up the competition and perform their hit song, “WAP (Wet #ss P##sy)” at the MTV Video Music Awards on September 12.

“Looks can be deceiving but not in this case! @iamcardib featuring #megantheestallion “WAP” is predicted to take the world by storm at the @MTV Video Music Awards, video of the year category. Check out the latest predictions here https://bit.ly/3ykFsGG.”

Hopefully, there won’t be another storm that will detract from the show.

Atlanta was hit pretty bad by Hurricane Ida but so was the rest of the East Coast. According to The New York Times, at least nine people are dead and. New York and New Jersey have declared states of emergency.

The Associated Press reports that areas within the state of Louisiana are troubled by “a lack of water, flooded neighborhoods and severely damaged homes” days after the storm touched down.

USA Today says that Hurricane Ida is tied for the fifth-strongest hurricane to ever hit America, just as The National Hurricane Center announces another storm named “Larry” hitting on Thursday night. Larry will be the 12th big storm of the season. The Atlantic hurricane season started on Tuesday, June 1, and ends on Tuesday, November 30.
