Doja Cat has apologized to fans on social media after they complained about the rap star’s Planet Her merchandise line.
The rap star, real name Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini, took to Twitter over the weekend to address the recent backlash after devotees complained about the design and cost of the products.
“the merch (merchandise) is bad. i’m aware. don’t worry,” she tweeted in response to the complaints.
Doja Cat doesn’t seem to have been directly involved with the branded clothing items, as she responded, “i don’t know”, when a fan asked her who had designed them.
Mickey Factz has dropped a bomb on Royce da 5′ 9″. These one time friends, have turned into rivals. Reminds me of that song when your idols become arrivals. At any rate, this is formidable and should elicit some kind of response from Royce. Will Royce come back with a song? I doubt it. He does not seem to feel these guys are worthy of a response and has justified it with some stuff about “checking the boxes.” From a Hip-Hop point of view, and based on the fact that both Mick and Royce have done songs together, I can’t wait to see the rationale behind it. Still, I don’t see Royce reply. I hope he does, in the name of the sport of Hip-Hop. Before I continue, give this your ear. Listen carefully like Royce’s “Silence of the Lambda.”
No I’m not about to transcribe what Mickey said in the song, but I will paraphrase. First of all he calls Royce a hypocrite, a talker, and says he skipped the beef with RJ Payne for greener pastures with Lupe. Then that got hot…and then he went over to Mickey. The interesting part is that when he put it on Instagram a lot of rappers waiting weighed in and give their opinions or flame emojis.
Well, if you have not heard it, listen up.
Lupe and Mickey talk…
And then Royce comes with some cryptic talk.

On Twitter, Royce addressed it…kinda…

The Lumberton Honda car dealership in North Carolina is justly under fire after they called a young Black woman a stereotypical name on social media after she purchased a 2016 Toyota Camry.
The business posted on its Facebook profile the 21-year-old health professional with her new vehicle with the caption, “’Congratulations to Bon Quisha on her 2016 Toyota Camry.
The problem is her name is Trinity Bethune. Bon Quisha is a colorful sobriquet created in a popular video made by kids that made fun of Black girls’ names.
It appears as 53 on in this Top 60 list from the early 2000s.
In the Urban Dictionary, it reads “’loquacious white boy that acts like a Black woman as a joke.”
It is not a joke, it is a derogatory term, used to embarrass and demean.
Trinity Bethune saw the Facebook post and immediately responded, “I’m not sure if this is a “joke” or something, but my name is definitely Trinity Bethune.”
Trinity Bethune continued, “I’m very offended by this post, it’s almost a racial slur. If I’m not addressed by MY name, then please don’t address me at all.” Others immediately responded.
Trinity Bethune’s brother Tyrone Jacob was one of the first to point out their hurtful racist act.
“This is not how I planned to congratulate my little sister on her first car purchase. This is completely intentional, disgusting, unfair and many other adjectives I could use to describe this situation. Rather than responding like a “Bon Quisha,” I’m responding like a Karen. This was not a mistake. With the exception of the letter “N,” her name is spelled using the first row of the keyboard.”
Jacob went on to write, “Typing Bon Quisha requires effort and intent. I’m outraged that she was publicly humiliated without a public/private apology. I’m waiting to hear back from a couple of my colleagues in the legal space, but please tell me if this is something my family should explore. She’s not well at the moment. If you know her, please send love her way.”
The dealership posted an apology on its Facebook page.
“Lumberton Honda and our entire staff sincerely apologize and regret the recent inappropriate post towards one of our valued customers. The action of this former employee does not represent the views or culture of our company. Lumberton Honda has been a part of the community for over 18 years, serving thousands of customers of all ethnicities. This incident reminds us that there is always room for improvement. Again, please accept our sincere apology. We are truly sorry. Lumberton Honda”
It is to be noted that still did not dignify the “mistake” by addressing Trinity Bethune by her name. It is unclear if they issued a private apology to Trinity Bethune.
The post has been deleted, but not before #TrinityBethune was trending on Twitter.
People are calling for a boycott and for her to return the car.
“And the car would’ve been back ASAP They knew that girl’s name and basically called her ghetto. S### is disgusting! #lumbertonhonda #trinitybethune”

“Congratulations on the car young lady!!!! Her name is Trinity Bethune! This is shameful that someone would call her Bon Quisha. That’s racist. Address her by her name please. I’m so glad the culprit was fired. #trinitybethune #BeKind”

Added note:There are some Black girl (and boy) names that are creative and difficult to pronounce, requiring you to use all of your mouth to say them: the tongue, your lips, and the very back of your throat.
Those names are beautiful. Whether their names are created by their parents, combined family names/ nicknames, or selected to represent one’s ethnicity or nationality.
Whatever it is, make sure that people say it
correctly.
NBA YoungBoy was indicted by a grand jury on March 10 and charged with one count of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and one count of possession of a firearm not registered on the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record.
In April, NBA YoungBoy was denied bond and labeled a danger to the community and a flight risk.
The rap star’s lawyer Andrew Flier appealed the decision.
Unfortunately for the rapper, United States Magistrate Judge Scott D. Johnson just ruled that “no condition or combination of conditions would reasonably assure the safety of the community.”
Judge Johnson said the United States’ evidence in support of the charged offenses is strong enough to keep the rap star locked down.
Judge Johnson also pointed to the fact that NBA YoungBoy sought to evade arrest, and led police on a high-speed chase before fleeing on foot indicated he was “inclined towards reckless illegal and dangerous behavior.”
The Feds also presented some shocking photos of the rapper to underscore their point. One image shows the rapper holding an assault rifle with a group of men.
The other image features NBA YoungBoy clutching an assault rifle with a young fan, who looks to be about 10-years-old.
Rap star Cardi B will be giving birth sometime around September 15, AllHipHop has confirmed.
The Bronx-born rapper just asked a judge to hold off on her showdown in a court battle with blogger Tasha K due to her pregnancy.
Cardi and Tasha were supposed to face off during the trial, which was slated for September 13.
However, Cardi is asking to have the trial date pushed back almost two months because her second child with Migos superstar group member Offset will arrive sometime during that week.
Cardi filed her legal action against Tasha K in March of 2019, by filing a $75,000 defamation of character and slander lawsuit against the vlogger.
The “WAP” star already won round one against Tasha, after a judge dismissed her $3 million counter-claim accusing Cardi of sending members of the Bloods after her for spreading the salacious rumors.
Now the trial will most likely be pushed back as many as two months since Cardi will need plenty of time to recover after giving birth.
“[Cardi B”] recently announced that she is pregnant with her second child. [Cardi B] will be unable to attend trial on the currently scheduled dates because she is scheduled to give birth around that time,” Cardi B’s lawyer Lisa F. Moore revealed.
Furthermore, Cardi B OBGYN has advised her that she will not be able to travel for a period of time before and after delivery.
The rapper is asking the judge to reschedule the trial to Monday, November 8, 2021.
Michael B. Jordan is reportedly producing a black “Superman” project.
The “Black Panther” star is developing a superhero series for HBO Max, and could potentially sign on to star as well, Collider reports.
His version is thought to be based on the Val-Zod version of the character, who hails from Krypton – just like the original Superman, aka Kal-El,, but survived the planet’s destruction.
He then travels to earth and hides out until he’s enlisted to battle a brainwashed Superman.
The project is reportedly being developed as a limited series.
“Star Trek” director J.J. Abrams is also creating a black “Superman” movie for Warner Bros. that is expected to follow the familiar Kal-El/Clark Kent version of the character, but with a black actor.
Author and cultural critic Ta-Nehisi Coates is writing the script.
To many a fan’s dismay, the Royce Da 5 ‘9 and Lupe Fiasco podcast has ended, culminating its run with the two at each other’s neck in conflict.
When the two launched The Lupe & Royce Show in October, they were friends and seem to have the perfect chemistry.
Described as “half conversation between friends, half interview show, and 100% weird,” they took all the wisdom and excitement they brought to Clubhouse as influencers and created something that Hip-Hop heads really enjoyed.
Both Lupe and Royce are huge battle rap fans and many of the artists are not only fans of theirs but are cool with them.
While Royce was on his Instagram Live with occasional battler and 24 hour-rapper Mickey Facts, they plugged Lupe in to talk about battling Royce on the Ultimate Rap League’s platform after Murda Mook and Loaded Lux were arguing over who would win a battle between the two show hosts.
Lupe said, “I don’t f**k with URL like that.”
He followed up with, “I don’t want to do URL. Beasley for some reason feels that I have a bone to pick with URL. So, he keeps backdooring and throwing numbers … throw s### to Mickey … and I am like ‘Look, man. I am not really interested.
“I’m not really interested in battling Royce. But don’t get it f##### up. That don’t mean I won’t cook n##### if n##### keep pushing buttons.”
Royce chimed in and said that he wasn’t pushing any buttons, reminding him that Lux and Mook called him.
That’s when it started to get scary. Lupe went on to say that he didn’t want to do this, but if the Slaughter-House artist wanted to make a “professional fool” of himself is willing to oblige.
To that, Royce called him a “b####” and told him to get in the ring. The video is
below.
Lupe jumped out with one of the first jabs.
Then Royce broke it down for the audience.
Here are two of the first full diss records: “Silence of The Lambda” by Royce da 5’9 vs. “Steve Jobs” by Lupe Fiasco.
After a week full of back and forth, it seems that the show is a wrap. The GRAMMY Award-winning Chicago artist took to his Instagram Live and shared, “I think [“The Lupe & Royce Show”] is done. It’s not something that my heart was 100 percent in the podcast, and I think we just reached the state now where it’s an untenable relationship, so I appreciate the last episode went up today. I think sometimes it’s good to just go out on
top.
“It’s not something that’s done out of ill will. This is something that’s kind of been building for a little bit. And again, my heart wasn’t 100 percent in the podcast with Royce, without Royce, by myself on my own.”
The exchange seemed lukewarm. Could be a setup for an actual battle. Ayyye Yooo, Smack!!!! Set this up.
For New Yorker Nicki Tha Great, music is her greatest passion. This is evident as listeners are immersed into the rapper’s vibe and mind when listening to her timeless music.
Nicki began her career at a young age with the support of her family members and church family. From enrolling in piano lessons to performing solos in the church choir, Nicki’s talents were well developed long before high school. However, in high school, Nicki used her gift to perform and write original material.
Nicki has certainly made her mark as she continues to deliver innovative sounds which have been accompanied by unique cinematic visuals.
She seeks to take care of everyone in her life, change as many lives as possible, inspire others, and change and influence lives. Additionally, she hopes to inspire her audience with her journey and music.
The talented musician has devoted herself fully to her craft as she continues to write new songs, and produce and engineer her music by herself. The versatile self-contained artist truly values quality and authenticity when it comes to her multi-genre artistry.
Nicki has plans of putting her all into her forthcoming project, and she plans to continue to expand her fan base by pulling fans into her new releases and original content.
From the release of her first single, “Track” to the release of her latest single, “Capable,” Nicki continues to take the music community by storm.
R. Kelly reportedly owes more than $3.8 million in back taxes.
R. Kelly, who is currently in jail in New York awaiting trial for various sex offenses – has had a federal lien filed against him in Illinois, which, according to RadarOnline.com, states he has refused to pay $1,935,034.88 owed on his bill for 2008.
That’s on top of a separate lien filed by the IRS in 2019 over $1.8 million owed on two previous tax bills – $648,998.25 for 2013 and another $1,229,739.18 for 2016 – which is still active and unpaid.
The total amount from the two liens is $3,813,772.31.
R. Kelly is due to face trial for sex trafficking and racketeering next month but he was recently hit with problems in his case after three of his lawyers announced they were seeking to leave his legal team.
And the third lawyer, New Jersey attorney Douglas Anton, was revealed shortly afterward to no longer be part of the team for the New York case.
Greenberg – who was due to serve on the defense for R. Kelly’s second court case in Chicago, Illinois, where he is facing charges including child pornography – wrote in a letter to the judge on the case: “Our reasons for withdrawal are significant and it is impossible, in our belief, for us to be able to continue to properly represent Mr. Kelly under the current circumstances.”
And Anton said he withdrew from the New York case late last year, though not under the same circumstances” as Greenberg and Leonard.
The lawyer is still representing R. Kelly and taking part in his defense “behind the scenes,” but not as an attorney of record.
The 54-year-old musician has already had both of his court cases delayed because of the COVID-19 pandemic, with his Illinois trial now due to begin on September 13.
Mickey Factz is about to go in on Royce Da 5′ 9″ – a rap colleague. If you know anything about Hip-Hop, you should know a little something about Mickey Factz. But just so you are fully up to speed. Here are some stats. Factz is a rapper from the Bronx, New York, he’s been stomping around the city in the world really for quite some time and has worked with numerous people like Drake. He’s dope and he’s friends with Lupe Fiasco. There’s so much more to dude than this (like him having the dopest verse on the new Ransom album), but we have to continue on with the current events. Mickey Factz was mentioned two times in a Royce diss of Lupe Fiasco called “Silence of the Lambda.” Sound like nothing? It was something.
Royce said: I don’t carry suitcases on big runs to malls deep I don’t carry big guns to a small beef I don’t really care what Mickey Factz has to say, add Lupe That’s touche, I don’t care for big gums and small teeth
and
In HD and 1080p and this sh#t for publicity You and Mick couldn’t mix your written And spit good as a pic of me Stop it or sit with the Doc or quit with the hickory dickory
Factz was mentioned because one he’s relevant and, two, he chose Lupe WINNING in a battle with Royce when they were talking gingerly & friendly as emcees. That is to be expected because Lupe and Mickey are really good friends, and in solidarity & culturally. That said there were some weird interactions on Instagram live with Royce, Mickey and others. It almost seem like there was a passive bullying going on. I think Mickey Factz felt the same way about it, because recently he said something just to that. Well, Mickey is nobody’s punk clearly and he’s also a hell of an MC. He already has a song with Royce, among many other accolades.
So now Mickey is going IN and has recorded this apparent diss of Royce Da 5′ 9″ – his respected colleague. He is not holding back from what I heard. This song is over five minutes long, according to my sources AND it is surgical. Lupe was kind of surgical, but if the surgeon was using a box cutter…brutal in a nice way, but not really nice, but not really angry either. I don’t know! I just know that Royce is going to get it again from Mickey Factz even though it has been pretty quiet on from the Detroit emcee’s side.
The one good thing about all of this is that I believe this will all stay lyrical and there will be no type of craziness in the streets. I suspect these guys are all friends and competitive and all boats rise in a battle like this. Even Royce. So I am looking forward to hearing what comes next for Mickey as well as upping the ante on Royce. As you may have already seen, Royce said that he’s not going to respond to anybody, not in anger and not in stature. To me, he suggested that he was above it. I have to say I disagree with that. I am hoping he comes back because he is one of the best and this is not necessarily a good thing for his career at this juncture, as one of the best. This is Hip-Hop.
I was on IG live a couple days ago… I had a good time. People thought I got bullied. I was unbothered… but make no mistake… the real issue is this: People are ignorant and don’t do their due diligence with who they playing with.
On twitter, Im very candid about my inspirations. I have no issues saying I listened to Holocaust, Canibus, Redman, Half A Mill, Grafh, Crooked I, etc… So i never subscribed to me being the best. Its impossible. Way too many mc’s would be left out the conversation.
I never had a huge Cosign like my peers. I did everything with my team. Who believed in me and used their skills to set us up for life. Im indebted to the culture of Hip Hop. Its fed me for 14 years.
I was born into Hip Hop. My father rapped to me while I was in the womb. I hail from the mecca. The Bronx. I was born in Harlem. Ive spray painted. I tried to breakdance. Ive tried to DJ. But Im an Mc to the core.
R&B superstar Chris Brown reportedly put up nearly six figures for a new set of gold teeth. The 32-year-old singer/actor from Tappahannock, Virginia is a recent client of New York City and Beverly Hills-based dentist Thomas Connelly, DDS.
The self-described “Father of Diamond Dentistry” Thomas Connelly crafted magnetic grills for the “No Guidance” performer. According toTMZ, the price tag for the “porcelain dental aesthetics” specialist’s gilded choppers is said to be close to $100,000.
In addition, Thomas Connelly posted on Instagram:
@chrisbrownofficial showing of his new gold grills by me @connellydds. These grills are 100% 24kt gold covering all 28 teeth. What makes these grills unique is their magnetic retention design. Breezy had 9 magnetic embedded gold crowns placed on all his back molars. This allows the grills to fit and lock in the magnets with precision on the fronts of all the teeth. The magnets not only make the grills super secure but they allow less metal that usually covers the inside of the teeth. With no metal covering the inside of the teeth, Chris can sing and speak normally while wearing an entire set of grills 😁.
@connellydds Instagram
Thomas Connelly has also uploaded images of other famous musicians and sports figures to his social media account. Photos of “Rockstar” hitmaker Post Malone, North Carolina-raised rapper DaBaby, 2021 XXL Freshman DDG, basketball Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal, Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller, and Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. appear on the @connellydds Instagram page as well.
As Chris Brown adds a new metallic yellow look to his mouth, the RCA recording artist is working on his tenth solo studio LP which is tentatively titled Breezy. That upcoming project will follow 2019’s Indigo album. Last year, Brown also teamed up with Young Thug for the Slime & B commercial mixtape which hosted the 2x-Platinum single “Go Crazy.”
Up-and-coming rapper Coi Leray is one of the most criticized recording artists out at the moment. Over the last few months, the Republic Records signee has been the target of a lot of online hate.
“Just wanna say thank you for all the love I get. I’m so loved by so many people it blocks out the hate. You love me I love you. Forever 💟,” tweeted Coi Leray on Sunday afternoon.
The “No More Parties” rhymer later returned to Twitter to add, “It’s about over 100 [artists] who performed on that lineup and all people wanna do is eat up my cack. Lol. Gotta love this s### [for real]. I got good problems. 😂🖤🤙🏻.”
Just wanna say thank you for all the love I get. I’m so loved by so many people it blocks out the hate. You love me I love you. Forever 💟
It’s about over 100 artist who performed on that lineup and all people wanna do is eat up my cack. Lol. Gotta love this s### fr I got good problems 😂🖤🤙🏼
This summer also included numerous complaints about Coi Leray being named one of the XXL Freshman Class members for 2021. Leray’s cypher performance for the Hip Hop outlet was widely panned. At one point in the video, the 24-year-old Boston native stopped rapping and began twerking to the camera.
“How the hell you gon tell me how to rap? 🤣🤣🤣 Ain’t no f###### rule book, n####. I do and say [what the f###] I want, you either like or not, b#### I’m here,” tweeted Coi Leray in response to the backlash over her XXL cypher. In June, she also addressed critics of body, posting, “Is there a certain way I’m supposed to look? Help me understand 😂🤔.”

The world lost Bashar “Pop Smoke” Jackson in 2020 when the rising rap star was murdered in Los Angeles at the age of 20. While the Brooklynite was killed before he could see mainstream success, his fans continue to keep his legacy alive.
Pop Smoke’s second posthumous album, Faith, opened at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart. The collection brought in 88,000 equivalent album units and 113 million on-demand streams in its first week of release.
With Shoot for the Stars, Pop Smoke became one of five deceased Hip Hop acts (The Notorious B.I.G., 2Pac, XXXTentacion, and Juice WRLD) to top the Billboard 200 following their passing. According to Chart Data, Pop Smoke is the first act to ever posthumously debut his first two studio LPs at #1.
Pop Smoke is the first artist in history to posthumously debut his first two studio albums at #1 on the Billboard 200.
Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon was one of the most celebrated albums of 2020. The project helped Pop Smoke win Top New Artist, Top Rap Artist, Top Rap Male Artist, Top Billboard 200 Album, and Top Rap Album at the 2021 Billboard Music Awards. Shoot for the Stars is presently certified 2x-Platinum by the RIAA.
Pop Smoke’s Faith features a “who’s who” of guest features. Steven Victor’s Victor Victor Worldwide label recruited Kanye West, Pusha T, Rick Ross, The-Dream, 42 Dugg, 21 Savage, Takeoff, Lil Tjay, Swae Lee, Future, Chris Brown, Dua Lipa, Pharrell, Kid Cudi, Quavo, Kodak Black, and more.
Elsewhere on the most recent Billboard 200 chart, Shoot for the Stars Aim for theMoon jumped two spots to #9. Doja Cat’s Planet Her (#4), Lil Baby and Lil Durk’s The Voice of the Heroes (#6), and Polo G’s Hall of Fame (#7) made the Top 10 as well.
Once again, Lil Nas X has his detractors upset. This time, social commentator Dr. Boyce Watkins is blaming the Georgia-raised rap star for supposedly being the cause of people dying from acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
Lil Nas X recently released his new music video for “Industry Baby” featuring Kentucky-bred rhymer Jack Harlow. The Christian Breslauer-directed visuals include LNX appearing nude and sexually dancing with other men inside a penitentiary.
“#LilNasX isn’t fighting for gay rights. He’s marketing the sexual irresponsibility that’s causing young men to die from AIDS. Being gay is one thing, but being a super spreader is another. There’s nothing healthy or helpful about that video. Especially for children,” tweeted Boyce Watkins.
Watkins went on to write, “A video with Black men twerking in prison is like doing a video with Jewish men twerking in a concentration camp.” He also suggested fictional imprisoned Black men twerking in a music video was a reminder of prison rape.
BLACK MEN TWERKING in prison is TRAUMATIC and reminds us of PRISON RAPE!
Prison rape is NOT FUNNY!
They don’t do that shyt to white people!
Stop it. NOW.
— Boyce Watkins, PhD – Wealth is Power (@drboycewatkins1) July 24, 2021
A video with black men twerking in prison is like doing a video with Jewish men twerking in a concentration camp.
— Boyce Watkins, PhD – Wealth is Power (@drboycewatkins1) July 26, 2021
Lil Nas X responded to Boyce Watkins’s criticism about the “Industry Baby” music video with a quote-tweet. The 22-year-old Columbia recording artists essentially accused Watkins of being homophobic and a hypocrite when it comes to the images perpetuated by straight men in Hip Hop culture.
“Y’all be silent as hell when n##### dedicate their entire music [catalog] to rapping about sleeping with multiple women. But when I do anything remotely sexual I’m ‘being sexually irresponsible’ and ‘causing more men to die from AIDS.’ Y’all hate gay [people] and don’t hide it,” tweeted Lil Nas X on Sunday.
Lil Nas X’s response tweet to Boyce Watkin has collected over 211,000 likes, so far. In comparison, Watkins’s “super spreader” tweet was only liked around 1,000 times. It was “ratio’d” on the social media platform by receiving more replies (2,300) than likes.

One of the biggest Hip Hop festivals in America returned over the weekend. Rolling Loud Miami‘s Sunday performances included DaBaby hitting the Cîroc Stage at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.
At one point, someone from the audience threw a shoe at DaBaby as he was performing. The launching of the footwear led to the “Suge” hitmaker addressing the crowd.
“Who the f### threw that m############ busted ass g###### Adida?” said DaBaby, mispronouncing the name of the shoe brand Adidas. The term “Adida” began trending on Twitter as a result.
Despite being charged with assault with a semiautomatic firearm, Tory Lanez has repeatedly denied firing a gun at Megan Thee Stallion in July 2020. He pled not guilty. The Daystar album creator claimed to be a victim of a conspiracy and organized smear campaign but has yet to provide any concrete evidence to back up those allegations.
“Adida” and DaBaby’s name were not the only words to trend on social media over the last several hours. “Pardi” – the nickname of Megan Thee Stallion’s current boyfriend Pardison Fontaine – was also a top talking point on Twitter overnight.
Pardison Fontaine and DaBaby got into a war of words in June after Tory Lanez released his “SKAT” music video featuring DaBaby. Many Megan Thee Stallion followers felt DaBaby betrayed his “Cash S###” and “Cry Baby” collaborator by working with the man accused of causing her serious harm.
DaBaby took full advantage of his performance at Rolling Loud, to show his allegiance to Tory Lanez. The rapper performed on the CIROC stage right after Megan thee Stallion delivered a scorching set.
Meg rocked a sheer top that shows off her bodacious breasts which were busting out of an exposed red sequin bra.
Megan delivered an energetic show as she ran through songs like “Realer,” “Big Ole Freak” “Savage” and “Cry Baby,” which she performed without DaBaby.
DaBaby performed directly after Megan thee Stallion.
He performed his songs “Suge,” “Goin Baby,” and “Vibez,” but it was the ending of his song “Cry Baby” with Meg that got the crowd’s attention.
An oversized mascot of DaBaby came strolling out on the stage during the middle of his verse and interrupted the set.
“This n#### here done walked on the stage and interrupted my show. I’ll give somebody out here a million dollars if they could guess who’s in here,” DaBaby told the crowd.
The person in the mascot took off the garb, as the baby lifted the oversized head to reveal none other than Tory Lanez.
The pair performed their song “SKAT,” which drove a wedge in between DaBaby and Megan thee Stallion.
To add insult to injury, Tory Lanez walked off the stage and the next song DaBaby played was Meg’s verse from their song “Cash S###.”
After performing his hit single “Masterpiece,” DaBaby brought out a huge bed for his song “Nasty,” where he frolicked around the sheets with a big booty stripper.
You let him bring on Tory Lanez, who literally shot Meg(aka the artist who was on right before dababy). This festival was an absolute disgrace and y’all should be ashamed.
From Dababy bringing Tory on stage to them telling US to tell Rocnation to let Uzi come on stage this goes down ass one of the most Ghetto-est Rolling Loud eva!
Rapper Boosie’s trip to a water park turned into a disaster over the weekend.
Boosie, his kids and an entourage were visiting the White Water Six Flags In Atlanta, Georgia.
Some sort of confrontation ensued because the rapper had 15 “flash” passes which allowed him to skip the lines.
The rapper’s membership status must have rankled someone. Boosie went off in an angry rage on Instagram after being booted from the theme park.
“B###### be mad cause we got 15 flash passes, skipping everybody in the line,” a shirtless Boosie fumed. “B#### get your money up. Go suck some dick behind the slide and get you a flash pass. Go get f##### in the wave pool hoe. B###### mad because how we living.”

Boosie was eventually kicked out of the water park, which angered him even more.
He labeled the theme park’s employees racist, and said the water on the rides had fleas in it.
“F### White Water you racist m############. F### all y’all b######. Dirty ass water, the s### had fleas in it anyway. Dirty pissy ass water you racist white b####,” Boosie snapped.
Boosie must have a membership to Six Flags because the Diamond and Diamond Elite plans are the only passes that allow visitors to skip lines to get on the rides.
In another post a few hours later, Boosie was still upset.
“We ride the ride four times before a n#### rides once,” Boosie continued.
The rapper claimed he had plans to build his own water park, as he rolled up a huge blunt, which also p##### him off.
“Don’t crack on me b####,” the rapper said to his stale blunt.
“B#### I’m building my own Six Flags,” Boosie said showing off his massive backyard, which also had his name cut in the grass in huge letters.
Buzzing rapper Coi Leray became a trending topic or Twitter, over her performance at Rolling Loud over the weekend.
People couldn’t help but notice the crowd’s reaction to Coi’s showing at Rolling Loud, which is going down at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.
Coi performed songs like “Do Better,” “Big Purr,” “Slide,” and two of her biggest hits, “Huddy” and “No More Parties.”
Unfortunately, the crowd was unbelievably silent, despite her attempts to liven up the crowd with her boyfriend Pressa.
In terms of a showing, Coi delivered a respectable performance – but for whatever reason the Rolling Loud attendees were not feeling it.
Videos of Coi’s Rolling Loud performance have gone viral, and she is being incessantly trolled over the lukewarm response.
It’s probably unfair to compare the rabid reaction of the fans to veteran artists like Lil Durk, Kodak Black, Playboi Carti and Travis Scott, but nonetheless Twitter went in on the crowd’s reaction to Coi.
The last few months have been a little rough for Coi Leray, even though her song “No More Parties” is certified Platinum and has a remix featuring Lil Durk.
She was criticized for receiving a Best Female Hip-Hop Artist nomination at the 2021 BET Awards. Then in June, footage spread of the 24-year-old performing for an unenthused crowd in Houston, Texas.
The clowning on social media led Coi to actually address the show in Houston, with a rather depressing message.
“The love use to outweigh the hate but now the hate outweigh the love and it’s slowing destroying me,” Coi Leray said.

That message caught the attention of the Queen, Nicki Minaj, who attempted to defend Coi Leray from the negative reactions.
“Don’t do that. Chin up. Always remember this, when black ppl not fkn w|you #TheyWillBoo. Those ppl were on their feet. That means they may not have known the song, but they were interested in getting to know more— so they were observing u. Charge it to the game & move on,” Nicki Minaj said trying to cheer Coi up.
