Drake Unleashes Brutal Bars Against A$AP Rocky On New Snippet

By: Mike Winslow Updated Category: News
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

Drake unleashed a new snippet from his upcoming album “ICEMAN” that appears to target A$AP Rocky and other rappers, marking his first musical response since his defamation lawsuit against Universal Music Group was tossed out of court earlier this month.

The Toronto rapper delivered pointed bars over an ominous beat, with lyrics that many interpret as direct shots at Rocky’s recent legal troubles and loyalty issues within A$AP Mob.

“Talk about Drake and you get a whole lot/Talk about Drake and you get you some streams,” Drake raps in the leaked audio.

The most pointed verses seem aimed at Rocky’s assault trial involving A$AP Relli, where Drake questions loyalty among crew members.

“Man how the f### is your day one gonna testify so you can sit in a box/Either you ain’t never did s### for your brothers or they must’ve forgot,” he delivers with calculated precision.

This musical retaliation comes as Drake faces mounting criticism following his legal defeat against UMG. The judge dismissed his defamation case over Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” which labeled him a “certified pedophile.”

Drake initially accused UMG of artificially inflating the track’s streams before pivoting to defamation claims.

A$AP Rocky recently criticized Drake’s legal strategy in interviews with ELLE Magazine, calling the lawsuit counterproductive to Hip-Hop culture.

Rocky described the Drake-Kendrick battle as “healthy for Hip-Hop” while questioning Drake’s decision to involve lawyers rather than responding musically.

The timing appears strategic as Drake prepares to release ICEMAN, his ninth solo project. Johnny Manziel previously hinted at a November release window for the album, which already features singles “Which One,” “What Did I Miss?” and “DOG HOUSE.”

A$AP Rocky’s comments about A$AP Mob’s current dysfunction may have provided additional ammunition for Drake’s bars.

“I played a father figure for a lot of these guys despite us being close in age,” Rocky told ELLE Magazine about managing internal conflicts within the collective.

The snippet represents Drake’s first substantial musical response since the Kendrick battle concluded with widespread consensus favoring the Compton rapper.

Drake’s ICEMAN album remains without an official release date beyond Manziel’s November speculation.

Ksoo’s Brother Gets 12 Years For Deadly Revenge Plot

By: Nolan Strong Updated Category: News

Abdul Robinson Jr. took a 12-year prison sentence on Tuesday in Jacksonville after admitting guilt in the aftermath of a deadly ambush that left rapper Charles “Lil Buck” McCormick Jr. dead, dodging a possible life term by cooperating with prosecutors.

The 27-year-old brother of Hakeem “Ksoo” Robinson struck a plea deal that dropped first-degree murder charges in exchange for his testimony and acknowledgment of his role as an accessory after the fact in the 2020 killing.

He had originally been scheduled for a separate trial alongside his brother and co-defendant Leroy “ATK Scotty” Whitaker Jr.. The murder stemmed from a brutal feud between Jacksonville Hip-Hop crews ATK and KTA.

Prosecutors said Lil Buck was targeted after releasing a diss track titled “Young Show Off,” which mocked the death of Willie Addison, better known in the local rap scene as “Boss Goon.”

Addison was the stepson of Abdul Robinson Sr., who later turned state witness against both of his sons. The elder Robinson’s decision to testify against his own sons added another layer of complexity to the case. His statements helped prosecutors tie the family to the murder plot.

Dominique “Butta” Barner, the getaway driver in the January 15, 2020, shooting, told jurors during the summer trial that all four men drove past Lil Buck’s Arlington home to scope out the scene before the killing.

Barner testified that Ksoo “wanted him dead” over the diss track. Lil Buck was gunned down while sitting in his car at a shopping plaza after being followed from his home.

Investigators from the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office pieced together the case using social media posts and lyrics that referenced the escalating gang rivalry.

Defense attorneys for both Ksoo and ATK Scotty argued that the state leaned too heavily on circumstantial evidence and that lyrics should not be treated as confessions.

Surveillance footage captured the fatal shooting, which prosecutors used to help secure convictions.

Despite their objections, both men were sentenced to life without parole on October 1, 2025. Ksoo and ATK Scotty have signaled plans to appeal.

First Taste Of Big L’s Posthumous Album Arrives With Nas-Assisted “U Ain’t Gotta Chance”

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Category: News

Big L is returning to the spotlight 26 years after his death with Harlem’s Finest: Return of the King, a posthumous album arriving October 31, featuring long-awaited collaborations with Nas and JAY-Z, and executive produced by his estate.

The announcement dropped alongside the release of “u aint gotta chance,” a new track featuring Nas, now streaming on all major platforms. The single marks the first official preview of the project, which is part of Mass Appeal’s Legend Has It campaign honoring seven legendary Hip-Hop artists: Slick Rick, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, Mobb Deep, Big L, De La Soul and Nas with DJ Premier.

The album is being promoted as Big L’s final and definitive body of work, with production led by the Estate of Lamont “Big L” Coleman and associate producers Mike “Heron” Herard and Royce 5’9. Additional contributors are expected to be revealed in the lead-up to the Halloween release.

Before his death in 1999, Big L had been days away from signing a deal with Roc-A-Fella Records. At just 24, he was already recognized as one of Hip-Hop’s most gifted lyricists, known for his razor-sharp punchlines, streetwise storytelling and complex rhyme patterns. His 1995 debut Lifestyles ov da Poor & Dangerous featured production from Lord Finesse, Showbiz and Buckwild, and included guest spots from Cam’ron and a then-unknown Jay-Z.

Between 1997 and 1999, Big L recorded with the Diggin’ in the Crates Crew (D.I.T.C.), a collective that included Fat Joe, Lord Finesse, Showbiz, O.C., Diamond D and A.G. After leaving Tommy Boy Records, he had been preparing to sign with Roc-A-Fella before he was shot and killed in Harlem.

His first posthumous album, The Big Picture, was released in 2000 through Rawkus Records and has since been certified gold. The project, executive produced by DJ Premier, featured appearances from 2Pac, Kool G Rap, Big Daddy Kane, Guru and Remy Ma, among others. Tracks like “Ebonics,” “Deadly Combination,” and “Flamboyant” cemented his legacy as one of Hip-Hop’s most respected lyricists.

In an interview with Rolling Stone, Nas reflected on Big L’s impact and what his presence could have meant for the genre had he lived.

“Big L was always ahead of his time. There’s some quotes out there from me about Big L, like how terrifyingly good that he was that made me have to step up my game. We were both signed to Columbia Records and I think the world never got a chance to get Big L the way they wanted him,” Nas said. “It’s a blessing to have this celebration of him, and it’s a reminder that there’s different variants of hip hop and they’re all dope, but when it comes to lyricists, Big L’s the standard. A lot of people are safe out there and rap because Big L’s not no longer around.

“There’s a lot of stuff floating around today that’s really not good. This album will remind you that it’s not about hype, it’s about art. And that’s what Big L’s doing with this album, reminding the world, reminding New York, that even though there’s different styles that you should do and play with, which are very dope, never forget what this s### comes from. The roots of this s### is serious talent.”

Comic Artists at NYCC Unite Against AI: “It’s A March Toward Mediocrity”

By: Chuck Creekmur (@ChuckCreekmur) Updated Category: AHHplus

The Resistance Is Real: Artists Sound Off on AI at New York Comic Con

At this year’s New York Comic Con, the debate over generative artificial intelligence  (GenAI) wasn’t confined to panels or tech booths. As I pushed through Artist Alley, I marveled at the artists and creators that pour their souls into their artistry. And, became upset. Really upset.

As a youth, I came up knowing, studying and appreciating the supreme art of Denys Cowan. He is the trailblazing co-founder of Milestone Media, veteran of DC Comics and much more. So, I decided to speak to the legend and other phenomenal talents about what they thought. The range of views was serious, from AI being “a march toward mediocrity” to “f##k AI.” Goosebumps cover artist Tim Jacobus took it easier, compared it to the dawn of digital art. Still, he admitted GenAI could ultimately be adapted in the worst of ways.

From comic legends to rising indie creators, the conversation was clear: AI is shaking the creative world to its core. These people, artists who’ve built their careers on human imagination and countless hours honing their craft, are contend with an inevitable invasion. No matter what, these artists are determined to defend human creativity. AllHipHop’s Chuck Jigsaw Creekmur went booth to booth to hear what the real creatives think about the rise of the machines.

AllHipHop: What do you think about AI and its place in creative work?

Denys Cowan (Founder of Milestone Media, pioneering artist on The Question, Batman, Deathlok):
I’m not a big fan of AI. I think it’s a march toward mediocrity. It’s easy to get on a computer and say some words and then the program rips off every artist around, going through thousands of images to paste together something that doesn’t even look real. Then people take credit for it as if they did something when they didn’t. They’re not artists — they’re people talking to machines. Don’t ever confuse that with something worthwhile in comics.

Dirk Manning (Writer and creator, Source Point Press):
The toothpaste is out of the tube. AI exists. It’s real, and it’s evolving. But nothing replaces human ingenuity or creativity. Generative AI doesn’t generate — it cultivates and harvests from other material. It’s not original. That’s why more than ever we need to double down on human-created work, on original ideas. That’s where real creativity lives.

Carlations (Illustrator):
Stay with human artists forever. You want art painted by hand, created by hand, with a human brain. That’s it. That’s my whole thought.

Imanuel Smith (Digital Imaging Technician, member of the International Cinematographers Guild):
I don’t feel AI is reliable for creatives. True creativity comes from human beings — from our walks of life and personal experiences. AI appeals to people who are lazy and not creative. It makes it easier for the mediocre to stay in control. But as long as there are real human beings, there will always be a need for our perspective. I’m not worried about AI taking jobs — people will reject it.

Tim Jacobus (Artist, known for Goosebumps covers):
Like it or not, AI is coming. You can either fight it or learn to go with it. I remember when digital art came out — everyone said art was dead. It wasn’t. It just changed. Maybe AI can assist us. We don’t want it taking over, but it might be a new tool we learn to use.

TJ Sterling (Rae Comics, Okemus):
I can’t stand AI. It’s not for the people. It’s not for the culture. We don’t want something that doesn’t have a soul generating art. We want human beings making art — that’s the only way forward for creativity.

Greg Anderson Elysée (Writer, Is’nana the Were-Spider):
F##k AI. It makes people lazy. It steals artwork and takes away jobs. A lot of my homies have lost gigs over it. It’s feeding a machine that takes away our soul and sells it back to us. I’m done with it — down with the Terminators, down with the Matrix. F##k AI.

AllHipHop: So what’s next for artists in this new AI era?

Denys Cowan:
We keep creating. The real stuff — with hands, heart, and history. That’s what lasts.

Dirk Manning:
We remind the world that art comes from struggle, sweat, and soul — not software.

Greg Anderson Elysée:
We fight back. You can’t automate passion.

AI may be here to stay, but the resistance is loud and proud. From comic book titans to rising creators, the consensus at New York Comic Con says clearly, “machines can’t truly mimic humanity.” As one artist put it: “We’re not worried. People will always know the difference.”

Benzino Rips Charleston White For Targeting Young Black Men & Hiding Behind Police

By: London Jennn Updated Category: News

Benzino torched Charleston White with a blistering takedown, calling out the controversial internet personality for his history of antagonizing rappers and accusing him of hiding behind law enforcement after provoking drama.

The former Source Magazine head addressed White during an appearance on “The Danza Project” podcast.

“Charleston White was a little ugly n#### from Dallas or wherever the f### he’s from. Little cockeyed n#### that never got p#### right?” Benzino said. “Married some woman that was taking care of him because you know, God bless her, but she’s not a looker. You know what I’m saying? Compared to now, he’s going crazy over some chick now. But when you look at his wife, you know he married her because she was taking care of him. A great church lady that probably has some money or something that was taking care of his little ugly ass.”

Benzino didn’t stop there. He likened White to Ephialtes, the deformed traitor from the film 300, saying, “the little hunchback n#### that wasn’t accepted,” and adding that White is “finally getting attention.”

Benzino’s criticism centered on what he sees as Charleston White’s pattern of stirring up conflict online—especially with younger Black men—and then involving the authorities once tensions escalate.

“He’s an agitator. He causes problems. Very disrespectful. Disrespectful [to] people’s mothers. Disrespectful [to] the dead. You don’t do that,” Benzino said. “And why are you doing it to these young Black men, regardless of what they’re doing and how they’re doing? Why are you doing it to them? You’re agitating them.”

He continued, “You were the agitator and the aggressor at first. They never did nothing to you. They didn’t know who you was. And then after they see you, if they do something, now you go to the police.”

White has made headlines over the last few years for threatening to involve police or federal authorities in disputes with Hip-Hop artists. In May 2024, he said he contacted the FBI over alleged threats from Boosie Badazz, backing up his claims with screenshots and videos. In 2022, he threatened T.I.’s son King Harris with jail time after a public spat, again citing safety concerns and potential legal action.

NBA YoungBoy Performs Lil Durk & King Von Diss In Atlanta With Lul Tim Onstage

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

NBA YoungBoy caused a stir online after performing his 2022 track “I Hate YoungBoy” in Atlanta for the first time, standing next to Lul Tim, the man once charged in the 2020 killing of King Von.

The performance took place during the Atlanta stop of YoungBoy’s 2025 MASA Tour on Wednesday (October 15).

The song, which sees YoungBoy target his rivals, including Lil-Durk, Gucci Mane, and Lil Baby, was met with loud cheers—even though the lyrics criticize some of the city’s most prominent rappers.

Clips of the moment quickly surfaced online, sparking intense commentary.

One user wrote, “lil durk locked up, his brother and best friend gone, whole hood slowly getting wiped and yb dissing him.” Another added, “He got lul tim right next to him the entire time…they on timing.”

A third chimed in, “Dissed Lil Baby and Gucci Mane in their home cities and performed this song where Durk lives and Von died… And the crowd screamed all the lyrics.”

The track “I Hate YoungBoy,” released in 2022, was a direct response to Lil Durk’s “AHHH HA.”

In it, YoungBoy calls out Durk and references King Von’s murder, while also dissing Gucci Mane for working with Durk.

Lul Tim Beats King Von Murder Charges

Tension between YoungBoy and Durk has simmered for years, especially after King Von was shot and killed outside an Atlanta nightclub in 2020.

Authorities say the altercation involved Von’s crew and associates of YoungBoy, including Quando Rondo and Lul Tim. Six people were shot in the exchange, and three died, including Von.

Lul Tim was arrested and charged with felony murder in Von’s death. But in August 2023, prosecutors dropped the charges before indictment, citing self-defense.

YoungBoy’s Atlanta performance came just weeks after his scheduled Chicago show was abruptly canceled.

While no official reason was provided, online speculation tied the cancellation to his long-standing beef with the city’s drill scene, particularly Lil Durk.

Nas Calls On Kendrick Lamar For A Future Collaboration

Nas brought up Kendrick Lamar and a potential collaboration during a new interview, saying he’s ready whenever the vibe is right.

He shared his admiration for Kendrick Lamar during a sit-down with Complex published Wednesday (October 15), opening the door to a collab.

“Oh man, you know, it’s just all about the artist. When you get the chance to record and work together, it, to me, it should feel like really natural and, you know that would be great,” Nas said.

“I’d love to work with him, but I feel like it just has to be smooth the way it connects, you know, ‘cuz it just got to be fire,” he added. “Anything I do with anybody, especially someone like him, I just want to take my time with.”

The Queensbridge legend then extended an open invitation: “So, we’ll see. Hopefully, you’d be so kind to do a song with your brother, man.”

He didn’t stop there. Nas sent a message to the entire rap community: “All you MCs out there, man, give me a call, man. Got some verses here and there.”

Nas Hails Kendrick Lamar As “The One”

This isn’t the first time Nas has praised Kendrick. In a recent interview, he called the Pulitzer Prize-winning rapper Hip-Hop’s “North Star,” calling him “one of the top-tier lyricists and creators in the game,” adding, “he’s the one.”

Nas’ respect for Kendrick runs deep, and the feeling is mutual. Kendrick has cited Nas as a significant influence on his own work.

While fans continue to hope for a joint track, Nas has been busy behind the scenes. He’s gearing up to release a new project with DJ Premier under the Mass Appeal Legend Has It series.

The upcoming album, entirely produced by Premier, is expected to drop in December and feature some of Hip-Hop’s most respected voices.

As for a Kendrick collaboration? It’s not on the calendar yet, but Nas made it clear — the door is wide open.

‘I’d be scared to drink it’: Woman tries to buy milk at Walmart. Then the price of the 2% gallon stops her in her tracks

By: Nina Hernandez Updated Category: Newsbreak
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

A Georgia woman is stunned when she arrives in the milk aisle at Walmart and finds a gallon of 2% costs under $1.

TikTok user Josh’s Mom (@mrsheathere) posted a video with her discovery on Sep. 13. In the video, she is walking through her local Walmart.

“How much are y’all paying for milk where y’all are at?” she says. “I’m at Walmart trying to get groceries, and I needed some milk. I grab my little 2 percent milk, but you’ll never believe how much it is. $.92. A half gallon’s up here. $.53.”

She does acknowledge it’s not an across-the-board price. “This is on the Walmart brand milk,” she says. “When was the last time a gallon of milk was $.92? I can’t recall ever. This is just blowing my mind. Now what I need to see now is everything else come down a little bit.”

Viewers React to the Price of Walmart Milk

In the comments, viewers reacted with shock and jealousy at the low cost of Walmart milk where Josh’s mom lives.

“Can you mail me some milk?” joked one person.

A second person said, “Wait, what? I’m paying $4.58 in the Poconos, Pennsylvania.”

“Somebody messed up or it’s old,” guessed a third viewer.

Others said they wouldn’t consume milk that cheap. “I don’t trust it,” wrote one.

What Is Going On with the Price of Walmart Milk?

This  isn’t surplus or rancid milk being sold at a discount. Instead, it appears to be the product of Walmart’s decision to open a milk processing facility in Valdosta, Georgia, earlier this year. It’s part of an effort from Walmart to shore up its supply chains and maintain the prices of its Great Value and Sam’s Club’s Member Mark brands.

As far as whether the milk is trustworthy, it’s sourced from area farmers and bottled at the Walmart plant. The milk will go to approximately 750 Walmart and Sam’s Club stores in the Southeast. And with regard to Josh’s Mom’s hope that other goods will get the same treatment? Walmart is working to eventually implement similar strategies with beef and vegetables.

‘I’m scooping them up’: Missouri man goes to Walmart. Then he buys 6 Troy-Bilt riding lawn mowers

By: Nina Hernandez Updated Category: Newsbreak
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

An Arkansas man goes to Walmart in Missouri and finds six Troy-Bilt riding lawn mowers at a significant discount. 

TikTok user Arkansas Boy (@arkansasboyy1) was at a Missouri Walmart on Sep. 20 when he found a deal so good he had to capitalize.

“Walk… Do not run…” he says to start the video. “But I am getting the last six models they have at my local Walmart. All these Troy-Bilt motors: $695.”

Why Is This Troy-Bill Riding Lawn Mower Price Significant?

“These things are usually $2,595 or more,” he says. “This is in Missouri, so maybe in Arkansas too. But y’all call your local stores before going up there. These things are good, good looking for this price. I’m scooping up six of them. Y’all go scoop ‘em up while you can.”

In Arkansas Boy’s mind, this is the perfect resale opportunity. “That comes out to like $750” after taxes, he says. “You should be able to sell them anywhere from $1,000-$1,500 on the internet. This is an amazing, amazing deal for Marketplace, Amazon, whatever. I haven’t seen a clearance like that in a long time. Make sure you call your local places before you just boogie on up there and screw yourself out of time. Make sure to take your truck and trailer.”

Viewers React to the Walmart Troy-Bill Clearance ‘Deal’

In the caption, Arkansas Boy reveals the sad truth: “The most important part of it all is you need to call and make sure because it’s probably not true—because this is all a joke.”

In the comments section, viewers appeared to be too depressed about the high cost of riding mowers to even care about being pranked.

“That’s what they should be priced,” said one viewer.

“I remember when they was $599 new,” said a second person.

A third viewer joked, “Better off spending $700 on a reliable tractor from the 70s.”

Another person agreed. “Nice. Should get a solid week of use before they break down.”

The State of Troy-Bilt Riding Lawn Mowers

Troy-Bilt’s Bronco 46 Riding Lawn Mower retails for $2,299. It comes equipped with a 547cc engine, AutoDrive transmission, and a 46-inch, side-discharge, twin-blade, steel cutting deck design.

The company was founded in the 1930s and operated for decades by a parent company called Garden Way, which declared bankruptcy in 2001. After the bankruptcy, an Ohio company called MTD Product, Inc. purchased the Troy-Bilt assets. By 2011, the brand was struggling to compete with the Minneapolis-based Toro. 

Online reviews of the brand appear mixed. Some consumers express skepticism about longevity and durability. Others say that’s appropriate for what they view as an entry level mower. “If you know how to fix them, they are great,” wrote one Reddit user. “Mainly because people who don’t know will just throw them out. But if I’d put my money on a new mower I can buy in the store, I’m gonna go for a Toro.”

‘There might be a camera’: Orange County woman buys vibration plate. Then it starts broadcasting people speaking in another language

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

Maryana Dvorska (@maryanadvorska), an influencer based in Orange County, recently unboxed a vibration plate she purchased from the TikTok Shop. But she was freaked out after the plate began broadcasting audio of people speaking in another language as she was lying in bed.

The 36-second video shows an unnerved Dvorska, who might have been woken up from a nap.

“OK, I’m so scared right now,” she says. “So I was just laying on the bed right here, and earlier today, I unpackaged this, like, vibration plate that I got off of TikTok shop. Please watch this next video, because it just randomly started talking. And can somebody translate what they’re saying and what is going on? Do I need to get this thing out of my house? What is going on?”

What Language Is This Vibration Plate Speaking?

Dvorska has stitched in an eerie second video of a language that sounds Asian, but isn’t immediately distinguishable, coming from the vibration plate. The voices of what sounded like a conversation prompted a “whoa” from a male voice. The critical point here, though, is that the unit appears to have powered itself on, or has some latent power that keeps it from fully powering down.

Dvorska commented later that “someone said it has Bluetooth and most likely picked up a nearby frequency.” Another person concurred: “It’s most likely the Bluetooth! Mine also [connects] to my upstairs neighbors TV/computer sometimes. The last time it connected to a Teams meeting, and I could hear everything.”

However, many warned that the vibration plate, which people use for a variety of purposes, from muscle toning to improving circulation, could pose a risk to home security.

“There might even be a camera and a mic recording you,” said one commenter. “I would definitely get that out of my house immediately. It’s not worth the risk.”

Other TikTokers have had similar issues. One woman who detailed how her vibration plate suddenly cutting on didn’t make sense. Her family did not live near anyone close enough for Bluetooth connection to be a factor. It has also powered itself on somehow.

The TikTok Shop Device Dvorska Purchased

The device that Dvorska purchased on the TikTok shop, the Chinese-made Merach-brand PulseVib V30 Pro vibration plate, has Bluetooth connectivity designed to play music through the integrated speaker when connected to smartphones.

The TikTok Shop’s page for the item is rather light on specifics, mostly pushing different colors, reviews, photos, and other products.

In recent years, instances of Bluetooth being vulnerable to attacks that can compromise home devices and data storage surfaced online. People found that Bluetooth was used to eavesdrop on unsuspecting victims. Bad actors have also hacked into headphones, smartwatches, and vehicles to collect call logs, emails, and location histories.

According to Kaspersky, a cybersecurity firm, “most fitness trackers connect to your phone via Bluetooth. This means that potential security holes could allow hackers to access your information.” CNBC reported in 2022 that fitness trackers “generally connect to a user’s phone via Bluetooth, leaving personal data susceptible to hacking.” Aura, a digital security company, cites that “hackers and criminals can use your device’s Bluetooth connection to steal data or spy on you.”

Dvorska’s vibration plate scare is a reminder that smart fitness equipment can come with connectivity features that should be thoroughly researched. Consumer advocates and security experts recommend reviewing product specs out of the box or online. Users should also disable Bluetooth when they’re not using the device, and unpair all connections they don’t actively need.

‘They need to refund you’: New Yorker hires Taskrabbit to put up curtain rod. Then she sees what he did

By: Nina Hernandez Updated Category: Newsbreak
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

A New York woman is outraged after the Taskrabbit she hired to put up a curtain rod leaves her wall full of holes.

TikTok user ProducHER (@producher_nyc/) posted a video about her experience last week. “Y’all, I hired a Taskrabbit and look what this [expletive] did,” she says to start the video. “Look what he did.”

What Did the Taskrabbit Do to This Woman’s Wall?

The audience doesn’t have to wait long to find out. The TikToker shows off a curtain rod that is barely hanging on with multiple holes in the drywall next to it. A nail is hanging out of one of the holes. “First of all, this is not even sturdy in the wall, “she says, jiggling the rod. “He created multiple holes in my wall. Look at my walls, y’all. And then, also, too, he left some blue marks. He’s like, ‘Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t think it would be a problem.’ What?”

Viewers React to the Taskrabbit’s Handiwork

In the comments section, viewers expressed outrage on ProducHER’s behalf. More than one person said that Taskrabbit should compensate her for the damage. “Refund?! They need to pay you for the damage,” one wrote.

Others joked that they didn’t realize the quality of Taskrabbit work was so low. “You coulda did this,” wrote one person. A second said, “Me if I decided to be a Taskrabbit.”

Some viewers focused the blame on the Taskrabbit himself. “This is appalling,” wrote one person. “This man never used tools in his life. He clearly had no clue what he was doing.”

And another person said this would keep them from using the service in the future. “Welp, this just convinced me to not hire a Taskrabbit to put together my coffee table,” they wrote.

Will Taskrabbit Compensate You For Damages?

Taskrabbit notes on its website that it is not liable for “the acts or omissions of users” and its service does not include insurance coverage. However, the company will cover claims involving property damage, bodily injury, and theft for up to $10,000.

Of course, this “happiness pledge” comes along with fine print. The person submitting the claim can’t have violated the platform’s terms of service or previously submitted a claim related to the same task. The terms also ask that users first try to get the Taskrabbit to resolve the issue and even file a claim with their personal insurance if possible.

In practice, it’s less clear whether consumers benefit from this policy. In a Reddit post to r/TaskRabbit five months ago, a customer complained that the policy didn’t cover damages that occurred after 30 days. While some commenters offered sympathy, others said that’s the risk you run not going with a traditional contracting service.

“I believe that’s the cost we pay when we hire someone cheap from TaskRabbit instead of going with a professional company with insurance,” one said.

All Hip Hop contacted ProducHER via TikTok comment and direct message for comment. We also contacted Taskrabbit via email for comment.

Nicki Minaj Slams Brakes On Retirement Talk, Promises Her Best Album Yet

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

Nicki Minaj flipped the script on her own exit announcement and told her supporters that she’s not walking away from music or shelving her 2026 album.

During an impromptu Twitter Spaces session late Wednesday night (October 15), the Queens-born rapper dismissed her previous claim that she was quitting and reassured her loyal base that she’s still in full control of her career.

“I am the conductor of this train,” she began. “Okay? When I want it to slow down, I slow it down. When I need it to speed up to give everyone a heart attack, I speed it up. But right before everyone thinks they’re about to go ‘Poof!’, I press the brakes. Why? Well, I don’t explain myself to c####, but I’ll explain myself to you. Why is because I can.”

The declaration came just 24 hours after Minaj stunned her followers with a post, claiming she was done with music and canceling her next album. “Ok I’m not going to put out the album anymore, she wrote. “No more music. Hope you’re happy now [JAY-Z]. Bye, Barbz. Love you for life.”

That post followed a string of accusations aimed at JAY-Z and Roc Nation, with Minaj alleging they tried to manipulate her into touring and releasing new music.

“They came BEGGING the QUEEN for a tour & album,’ she claimed. “I said NOPE!!!!! Wanted to patch it up. They needed help from the QUEEN & the BARBZ.”

She also mocked JAY-Z’s failed Times Square casino bid, writing, “It was a resounding NOOOOOOOO… just like the casinooooooooo.”

But by Wednesday night, the tone had shifted. Minaj said she had just written a “beautiful new song” and teased that her next project would be one of her best.

“Just know that I’m very happy with you guys and with the next chapter,” she added. “Nothing is going to stop that. We are in the best musical place I’ve ever been in, ever in my life. And just complete musical clarity.”

She added that the album would rank in the “top two” of her career and described her current creative state as a personal reintroduction.

“I don’t want to say rebirth, but like almost like an introduction to myself when I started. But not talking about the sound, which is normally what people talk about, but the person.”

Minaj also hinted that a global tour is still on the table. When a South African fan joined the Spaces chat and asked about a show in Johannesburg, she replied she’d have her team look into it.

Her remarks come amid a long-running feud with Roc Nation, which she has accused of blacklisting her, using bots against her, and profiting from the TIDAL sale without sharing revenue.

Nas Shares His Thoughts On Potential Super Bowl Halftime Show Performance

Nas shut down any speculation about ever headlining a Super Bowl Halftime Show during a recent interview, saying he’d rather watch from the sidelines than take center stage.

“I can’t say I don’t want to do a Super Bowl, but I don’t,” he told Complex. “Why would I do that? Leave it to the professionals.”

While Nas acknowledged, “I’m a pro at what I do,” the Super Bowl is not for him.

The Queensbridge legend made it clear that the glitz and spectacle of the NFL’s biggest night isn’t his scene. “

I want to watch dope halftime shows,” he added. “And that’s what has been happening lately, so salute to all of them.”

As Bad Bunny gears up to make history as the first solo Spanish-language artist to headline the Super Bowl Halftime Show in 2026, Nas is staying focused on his own creative path—one that’s never relied on stadium-sized theatrics.

Nas Joins Forces With DJ Premier

Instead of chasing arena lights, Nas has been immersed in his latest collaboration with DJ Premier.

The two Hip-Hop veterans have joined forces for a highly anticipated joint album, which marks the first full-length project between the longtime collaborators.

The album, still untitled publicly, is set to drop in December as part of the Mass Appeal series Legend Has It…

The still-untitled album is slated for release in December as part of Mass Appeal’s Legend Has It… series — a campaign celebrating seven legendary Hip-Hop acts: Nas & DJ Premier, Ghostface Killah, Raekwon, Mobb Deep, De La Soul, Big L, and Slick Rick, each dropping brand-new projects throughout 2025.

Though he called the Super Bowl performance “super rockstar s###,” Nas has always leaned into lyrical craftsmanship and cultural impact over flash.

Since his 1994 debut, Illmatic, widely hailed as one of the greatest Hip-Hop albums ever made, Nas has remained committed to storytelling and substance.

The rapper added excitement about the event’s scale. “This year Hottieween is gonna be BIGGER than ever!!!” she wrote in her social media post.

Tickets went on sale Wednesday, October 15, though specific venue details remain limited. The event will take place somewhere in Humble, but no exact address has been released yet.

Megan established this foundation to honor her late mother and father. The organization provides resources to women, children and underserved communities in Houston and nationwide.

Megan Thee Stallion has deep roots in Houston’s Hip-Hop scene.

Born and raised in the city, she was introduced to music early through her mother, who was an underground Hip-Hop artist. The rapper’s career took off after she began releasing music in 2016.

Her success includes major Grammy wins at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards, where she became only the second female rapper to win Best New Artist since Lauryn Hill in 1999. She also won Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song for “Savage” featuring Beyoncé.

The Houston native has consistently given back to her community throughout her career.

Time magazine included her on its list of the 100 most influential people in 2020, recognizing both her musical impact and community involvement.

This Halloween concert continues Megan’s tradition of connecting with her Houston fanbase. Her supporters, known as “Hotties,” have eagerly awaited her return to perform in the city where her career began.

SIGNS: Seven Arrested After Food Order Mix-Up Sparks Violent Brawl At Whataburger

Seven people were arrested early Saturday morning after a food order mix-up escalated into a violent brawl at a Whataburger restaurant, according to San Antonio police.

The incident occurred at 3 A.M. on October 5 when two groups of customers began arguing over confused food orders.

What started as a simple misunderstanding quickly spiraled into chaos, with multiple people throwing punches and kicking a man who was knocked to the ground.

Video footage captured by a witness shows a woman punching another woman on the restaurant counter before several men joined the altercation.

The viral video, which has garnered more than 1,000 shares on social media, depicts at least six men attacking one individual who curled into a fetal position on the floor.

The San Antonio Police Department confirmed that officers responded to reports of an assault in progress. All seven suspects were booked for assault causing bodily injury, though no major injuries were reported at the scene.

The conflict began when restaurant staff allegedly told one group of customers that another party “have your food” instead of acknowledging their error with the orders.

“Moments later, those individuals confronted my son and his friends, and within seconds, the situation escalated far beyond a simple misunderstanding — to a violent assault,” said witness Rebecca Noel.

Whataburger, the Texas-based burger chain founded in 1950, issued a statement emphasizing customer and employee safety.

“At Whataburger, the safety of our Guests and employees is our top priority. We are cooperating fully with the authorities,” the company’s media relations team said.

The beloved Texas institution has over 900 locations across the South, with the majority concentrated in Texas. Founded by Harmon Dobson in Corpus Christi, the chain has become synonymous with Texas culture and late-night dining.

Fast-food restaurant altercations have become increasingly common in recent years, with several high-profile incidents captured on social media.

The viral nature of such videos often amplifies local incidents into national news stories.

Blac Chyna Declares Her Love For Rob Kardashian Again

Blac Chyna reignited speculation about her relationship with Rob Kardashian after tagging him in a romantic Instagram post while posing next to a white Ferrari in Los Angeles.

Wearing a matching all-white ensemble, the reality star—who now goes by her birth name, Angela White—captioned the photo, “This love is forever @robkardashianofficial.”

Kardashian quietly acknowledged the post with a like, fueling online chatter about a possible reconciliation.

The two share an 8-year-old daughter and were previously engaged in 2016 before their highly publicized breakup the following year. Despite their rocky history, White recently described their current dynamic as smooth.

“My co-parenting with Rob is 100 per cent amazing,” she told People in August. “For parents that’s going through it right now, I promise you, things do get better. If you’re going through a custody battle or anything of the sort, I think the main thing for the other parent is to mind their own business.”

White ended her relationship with rapper Derrick Milano in July, just months before their planned wedding, following an October 2022 engagement.

Kardashian, meanwhile, has kept his dating life private and hasn’t been publicly linked to anyone since the breakup with White.

The Instagram post went up earlier this week, prompting renewed interest in the pair’s status.

Australia Bans Candace Owens Following Kanye West Visa Denial

By: Nolan Strong Updated Category: News

Australia’s High Court has upheld the government’s decision to ban right-wing commentator Candace Owens from entering the country.

The ruling comes months after the nation similarly barred rapper Kanye West due to Australia’s strict stance against controversial figures.

Three judges unanimously rejected Owens’ challenge to Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke’s visa denial.

The court cited her past statements about Muslims, Jews, vaccines, and the LGBTQ community as reasons for the ban.

“Inciting discord might be the way some people make money, but it’s not welcome in Australia,” Burke said after the ruling. “Australia’s national interest is best served when Candace Owens is somewhere else.”

The influencer had planned a November 2024 speaking tour but was blocked from entering the country. Owens argued unsuccessfully that her visit was protected by freedom of political communication rights.

Owen’s ban follows a similar decision against Kanye West in July 2025. Australia canceled the rapper’s visa after he released a song titled “Heil Hitler.”

West, who has called himself a Nazi, was deemed to fail the country’s character test.

The connection between Owens and West runs deep. The pair have maintained a close political alliance since 2018. They appeared together wearing “White Lives Matter” shirts at a 2022 fashion show.

West also attempted to purchase Parler, the social media platform where Owens’ husband serves as CEO. Owens has consistently defended West despite his antisemitic statements.

“I will always defend Kanye,” she said in a May 2025 interview, calling him a “friend” and “cultural lightning rod.”

Australia’s Migration Act allows officials to deny entry based on character concerns. The law gives the Home Affairs Minister broad discretion to protect national interests.

New Zealand initially followed Australia’s lead in banning Owens but later overturned its decision. The court ordered Owens to pay legal costs for her unsuccessful challenge.

A spokesman for Owens said she would address the ruling this week. The ban prevents her from entering Australia indefinitely unless the decision is reversed.

Kim Kardashian Said She Had To Save Herself From Kanye West

By: Mike Winslow Updated Category: News

Kim Kardashian described her marriage to Kanye West as “toxic” and revealed that his refusal to change forced her to leave the relationship for the sake of her children and her own mental health.

During a revealing conversation on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Kardashian, 44, opened up about the emotional strain of her eight-year marriage to the Hip-Hop artist and entrepreneur. She said the relationship became unsustainable because West wasn’t “willing to make changes” that she believed would improve their lives.

“It makes it really hard to continue on in a relationship that can be toxic,” Kardashian said. “When you have kids, it’s definitely harder to leave than it is to stay. And it changes everyone’s life forever.”

The former couple, who married in 2014 and finalized their divorce in 2022, share four children: North, 12, Saint, 9, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 6.

Kardashian said she tried to support West through difficult moments, including his public mental health struggles.

“People can say that there was, like, signs and maybe I wasn’t paying attention to them,” she told host Alex Cooper. “And I think when someone has their first, like, mental break, you know, you wanna be super supportive and you wanna, like, help figure that out and you wanna really get into that with them and be there for them.”

But over time, Kardashian said she realized staying in the marriage was taking a toll on her ability to function as a parent.

“Once my mental health starts to get affected and then I can’t parent the way that I need to and I can’t be present and focused, then there’s gotta be one of us that can,” she said. “And I had to save myself in order to be a better mom for everyone. And I think, like, when everyone’s older, they’ll be able to understand it and see that all.”

Since the divorce, Kardashian said she’s approached dating with more intention and clarity. “I do have a problem of only remembering the good,” she said. “I’m a really forgiving person, but I really haven’t dated like that to, like, have those kinds of toxic relationships since I’ve been divorced.”

She added, “I think when you get older, you just don’t tolerate that s**t. You don’t have time.”

Akon’s Wife Wants Millions Amid Divorce—But Court Found Only $10K In His Personal Account

By: Houston Williams Updated Category: Rumors

Akon’s decades-long marriage has reportedly come to a dramatic end as his wife, Tomeka Thiam, filed for divorce and demanded a staggering 100 million in Euros. 

By the way, that’s like $116,240,000 smackaroos. But what shocked many wasn’t the amount—it was the alleged discovery that the global superstar had only $10,000 sitting in his personal account.

Let me find out Akon is broke? Nah, of course he is not broke. But the court looked further into this.

According to reports, mostly international, the court overseeing the proceedings found that most of Akon’s wealth isn’t in his own name. Instead, Mama Kon is apparently in control of his fortune. The money is allegedly in her name. The streets are talking.

Akon has always been admired for his business acumen. Beyond music, he has a reputation as an entrepreneur and philanthropist. Not everything has worked as planned—like Akon City—but the good outweighs the bad. But apparently the claim of having only $10,000 is not flying with the court. I will tell you, the streets are proud. City Boy are way up. 

Still, in high-profile divorces, where litigation is reality, this will get complicated. Don’t cheer too fast, gents. The court could accuse Akon of intentionally shielding his assets. Remember, from what gather, this is not America we are talking about. The conversation has shifted to whether or not cultural and familial trust practices are common in parts of West Africa.

In many African households, wealth is often intertwined with family members, with mothers or elders managing finances on behalf of the group. Needless to say: neither Akon nor Tomeka Thiam has publicly commented on the proceedings. So we gossip about it. 

We must remember these two have been together since the early stages of Akon’s career and share several children. Akon is the cornerstone of the money. I have so many questions, but I am sure the wife knows a little about how much money they are making. This divorce could become very interesting. 

Diddy’s Post-Prison Conditions Revealed—And They’re Strict

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Category: News

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ conviction on charges related to prostitution has reverberated through the entertainment industry, marking a significant moment in the criminal justice proceedings against the influential music executive.

Combs has been ordered to serve 50 months in federal prison and five years of supervised release after a jury convicted him on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution in his closely watched criminal trial.

Judge Arun Subramanian handed down the sentence earlier this month, imposing a $500,000 fine in addition to the prison term. Combs was acquitted of more severe charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering.

According to court filings obtained by TMZ, the Bad Boy Records mogul must comply with several special conditions following his release. He will be required to submit to random searches, avoid contact with victims in the case and participate in outpatient programs addressing substance abuse, mental health treatment and domestic violence prevention.

Subramanian sentenced Combs to four years and two months behind bars, crediting him with 13 months of time served at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. However, it remains unclear where Combs will complete the remainder of his sentence.

In a recent letter to Subramanian, Combs requested a transfer to the Federal Correctional Institution in Fort Dix, New Jersey, citing its rehabilitative programs and proximity to his family. “In order to address drug abuse issues and to maximize family visitation and rehabilitative efforts, we request that the Court strongly recommend to the Bureau of Prisons that Mr. Combs be placed at FCI Fort Dix for RDAP purposes and any other available educational and occupational programs,” his attorney, Teny Geragos, wrote.

Subramanian responded that placement ultimately rests with federal authorities. “The Court will recommend a facility in the geographic location of the defense’s choosing,” he ruled. “But not the specific facility, which is determined by the Bureau of Prisons.”
