Drake’s Dad Chased By Kids Shouting Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” Lyrics  

By: London JennnCategory: News

Drake may not have been at the Grammys to witness Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” dominate, but his dad, Dennis Graham was, and he couldn’t escape the buzz surrounding the awards.  

The scathing Drake diss scooped all five of the categories Lamar was nominated in, and the Grammys audience was eating it up, even singing “A-MINORRR” in unison as the Compton rapper took to the stage to accept the awards.  

The excitement surrounding the song was so intense that it spilled out of L.A.’s Crypto.com Arena and onto the streets, with a group of kids chasing down Graham to taunt him with lyrics from Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us.” 

Footage surfaced online showing a group of young people surrounding Dennis Graham, eager to snap pictures with him. One of the group dapped up Drake’s dad before joining the others and chanting “They Not Like Us” as Graham walked away.

Despite the mockery, Drake’s dad was good-natured about Kendrick Lamar’s Grammys victory. Reporters caught up to Graham shortly after Lamar’s triumphs and asked his thoughts on the song winning Record of the Year.     

“I don’t care nothin’ about that s###,” Graham replied. “That ain’t got nothin’ to do with me.”    

Nonetheless, he wished Lamar well, saying, “All the best to him… I don’t do that b#######.” 

Meanwhile, earlier this week, Drake made headlines on the opening night of his Anita Max Win Tour.  

He entered the arena in Perth, Australia, wearing a bullet hole-ridden hoodie with smoke billowing from the back.

He later addressed his K. Dot battle, telling the audience, “Drizzy Drake is very much still alive.”

During a conversation with Justin Laboy for “The Download,” the Yeezy founder addressed the battle between Drake and K. Dot, stating that the Compton native “killed my nemesis.” 

He also spoke on Lamar saying: “F### the big three, n####, it’s just big me” on Future & Metro Boomin’s “Like That.”   

“How would we let that idea pass?” West stated. “You know, I’m the greatest that ever existed and other people, you know, they shouldn’t feel that way ‘cuz I’m here.” 

While West acknowledged that all rappers are naturally braggadocious, skill set plays a part.  

Kanye West Says Rapping Against Kendrick Lamar Is “A Difficult Task”

“Every man, you know, is going to feel that they’re the number one in the game,” he added. “But there’s different techniques. Like if you rap against Kendrick you will lose. This man does this.” 

West stated that while others are incapable of overcoming Lamar “no matter what,” he is the only man for the job. 

“If you rap against Kendrick Lamar, it’s really a difficult task,” West added. “But I’m a psycho genius, so…” 

Furthermore, he warned not to rap against Kendrick Lamar “unless you’re a psycho genius like me.” 

Drake returned to the big stage earlier this week, kicking off his Anita Max Win Tour in Perth, Australia.  

He donned a bullet hole-ridden hoodie with smoke billowing from the back to enter the arena. The OVO honcho alluded to his battle with Lamar, telling the crowd, “Drizzy Drake is very much still alive.”

Meanwhile, elsewhere during his new interview, West conceded that while K. Dot “took him down for a little bit,” Drake will be back soon.   

“Drake added something to the algorithm, to our frequency,” Ye explained. “He advanced it … and now Kendrick has now advanced the frequency.”   

West also warned his rap peers could be “wiped out,” if they can’t keep up with Lamar.   

Kanye West Reveals He’s Autistic, Claims Bipolar Diagnosis Wrong 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Kanye West is opening up about his mental health struggles, revealing that he is not bipolar, as previously stated, but is in fact autistic.  

The controversial artist had a candid conversation during his second interview with Justin Laboy on “The Download.”

A post shared by Justin Laboy (@justinlaboy)

During the talk, West claimed he was misdiagnosed as bipolar and credited his wife, Bianca Censori, with helping him realize he needed a second opinion. 

“I went to this doctor, one who worked with Justin Bieber,” Ye explained. “My wife took me to do that because she said ‘something about your personality doesn’t seem like its Bipolar.'” 

According to West, Censori told him, “I’ve seen bipolar before,” and said that he did not appear to exhibit traits of the condition.  

Kanye West Explains How Autism Influences His Behavior

“Come to find out it’s really a case of autism that I have,” West revealed, before explaining how it has influenced his behavior.  

“Autism takes you to a Rain Man thing where you’re like, ‘Oh I’m gonna wear this Trump hat because I just like Trump in general,’” he shared. “Then when people tell you to not do it, you just get on that one point and that’s my problem.” 

West added that when he feels forced in a particular direction, “I’ll do it the opposite way.” 

West opened up about his numerous public meltdowns, referring to them as “episodes,” and explained that much of what triggered them stemmed from a deep sense of powerlessness. 

“A bunch of people said, ‘You know, you can’t leave Adidas. Why would you leave all that money?’” he said. “The constant feeling of not being in control spun me out of control.” 

Additionally, Kanye West explained that he stopped taking medication for bipolar disorder after discovering he was autistic. 

“It’s finding stuff that doesn’t block the creativity,” he noted of potential medication. “Obviously that’s what I bring to the world.” 

This isn’t the first time Kanye West has claimed he’s on the spectrum. In 2023, he stated that he began showing signs of autism after the 2002 car accident that left his jaw wired shut.

50 Cent Trolls Irv Gotti Amid Rumors Mogul On Life Support Following Stroke 

By: London JennnCategory: News

50 Cent is showing no mercy to his longtime nemesis Irv Gotti amid reports that the music mogul suffered another stroke. 

On Tuesday, February 4, the G-Unit founder took to Instagram to claim that Gotti is on “life support” and in critical condition. The report also noted that his loved ones are saying their final goodbyes. 

50 Cent wasted no time taunting Irv Gotti in the caption, writing, “Damn I wanted him to see my new shows yo!” 

While some fans found 50 Cent’s post tasteless, with one remarking, “The fact people are laughing at this is disturbing,” others argued that his dark humor and trolling are par for the course with the outspoken rapper. 

“This n#### don’t give a f###,” wrote one. Another added, “Beef wit 50 is like a successful marriage.. til death do us part.” 

The legendary hip-hop producer and founder of Murder Inc. reportedly suffered another stroke. This comes less than a year after his previous minor stroke last August, linked to his diabetes.  

50 Cent also mocked Irv Gotti at the time after a photo of him walking with a cane went viral.  

The circumstances surrounding his current condition remain unclear, and representatives for the 54-year-old music mogul have yet to comment. Unconfirmed rumors on social media suggest Gotti may be in a vegetative state or on life support. 

In early 2024, Gotti openly discussed his struggles with diabetes, admitting it was “deteriorating” his body. 

After his first stroke, Gotti reportedly made lifestyle changes, including adopting a healthier diet. 

Playboi Carti Responds To Kai Cenat’s Pressure To Release “I AM MUSIC” Album

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: Rumors

Looks like Kai Cenat is proving that streamers are among the biggest power players and shot callers in the music industry today.

Following the Grammy Awards on February 2, the popular Twitch streamer has flooded the feeds of several popular social media platforms such as Twitter and Instagram and even YouTube due to candid moments with stars such as Kanye West and JAY-Z and Beyoncé and other celebs.

Now, one of his rec carpet interviews is making waves based on Kai’s response when asked what is music missing in 2025. Per usual, Kai provided an emphatic response, which would later catch the attention of none other than Playboi Carti.

“You know what we’re missing?” Kai Cenat questioned rhetorically before answering himself, “The Playboi Carti album.”

Kai added, “He needs to drop! For real, Carti gotta drop. I know Carti’s gone see this. Carti just drop. I’m on national TV, drop gang, you feel what I’m saying.”

He concluded, “In my world, a lot of people need that, so we need to make sure that happens.”

Carti found the moment to be truly motivating and remarked on it in an Instagram Story in which he alluded to being moved to actually confirming the release of the long-awaited project.

“REALEST VIDEO I SEEN IN 2025,” Playboi Carti wrote in all-caps in the IG story, where he also wrote, “BX YAL GOT 1 WIT KAI. DIS VIDEO MIGHT BE DA ONE TO DO IT”

Hopefully Kai’s excitement about the project can get Carti back into the good graces of his fans, who it seems the Atlanta rapper has been at odds with since he previewed the album at Rolling Loud last December. Not to mention he also faced backlash last month after his former partner Iggy Azalea claimed he has not seen their child in months.

“Someone’s saying tell Playboi Carti to drop,” Azalea said during the stream. “I don’t speak to him, my love. We haven’t heard from that man in over like 6 months.”

Playboi Carti, who began dating Azalea in 2018 welcomed their son Onyx with in April 2002, became a trending topic on Twitter as a resulf of his fans bashing him over her new claims.

Rick Ross Hits Back At 50 Cent Over Big Meech Slander, Blindsides Uncle Murda

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: News

Rick Ross has also taken to Instagram to address 50 Cent’s social media jabs, particularly targeting Big Meech’s association with the MMG mogul.

Days after Big Meech, the co-founder of the infamous Black Mafia Family (BMF), was spotted with Rick Ross as the Miami-bred rapper used the opportunity to promote his upcoming car show, 50 Cent began attacking the former Detroit drug kingpin.

More specifically, the G-Unit Films and TV mogul posted an image of a rat and threatened to expose Big Meech for being a snitch due to his connection to Tammy Cowins. Cowins helped secure the rights to Big Meech’s story and served as a producer on Fifty’s STARZ series about his life and the story of BMF.

In a candid response, Ross directly invited 50 Cent to his car show, saying, “Hey, Curtis Jackson, you’re more than welcome to bring that Versace Lamborghini to the car show June 7th and your little homies.”

Rozay also took aim at Fifty’s G-Unit counterpart Uncle Murda saying, “I know them n*ggas, uh, Auntie Murda, Yeah I know you got a Toyota Tundra. I could see it in your face.”

Ross also addressed the long-standing tension between him and 50 Cent, emphasizing that he has no interest in mending fences.

“You wouldn’t be able to imagine how many different times muthaf*ckas tried to fix the issues with me and Curly Jackson,” he said. “No, I always said no. It’s a free TV show for me.”

As Ross continued in the nearly three-minute mash-up, he highlighted how the feud serves as a marketing tool for him.

“I could wake up in the morning and say that p#### n#### can’t dress… Then you give them a commercial boom and say Rick Ross car show June 7th.”

Additionally, regarding his association with Big Meech, Ross dismissed the criticism, saying, “Now, Big Meech, February 13th. That concert going to be off the muthaf*cking hook, putting his foot up you n*ggas a#### and leaving it in your muthaf*cking intestine, n*gga.”

Diddy Accused Of Assaulting Women In Hell Night At Trump Hotel

By: Grouchy Greg Watkins (@GrouchyGreg)Category: News

Diddy’s legal situation just got worse and now President Trump’s crown jewel—the Trump Hotel—is being dragged into the disgraced mogul’s legal crisis.

Two women just filed separate lawsuits accusing Diddy of orchestrating violent sexual assaults at the New York City hotel.

The two women, both filing under the pseudonym Jane Doe, allege that the music mogul drugged, imprisoned and sexually assaulted them—or had his associates do so at his direction—using intimidation, narcotics and his immense power to silence victims​.

One lawsuit details a nightmarish scene in which the plaintiff attended an event at the now-defunct Limelight nightclub, which has been described as “pagan Rome on acid.”

Diddy was hosting a multi-floor party featuring drug use and alleged sex parties on the upper levels. While dating one of Diddy’s security guards at the time, Jane Doe claims that the Bad Boy founder intervened and told her to wait in a back room after a heated argument.

Soon after, her boyfriend allegedly entered and slapped her in the face while Diddy ensured she had no way of leaving the venue​. In the wee hours of the morning, Diddy and his security guard transported the woman and her friend against their will to the Trump Hotel, taking them to a penthouse suite.

The women were given drugs they didn’t consent to taking, they claim, and were then allegedly forced to participate in group sex acts. The plaintiff states that at one point, a club promoter raped her at Diddy’s direction while he sat and watched.

She says she and her friend were trapped in the penthouse for hours before finally being allowed to leave. The second lawsuit describes a disturbingly similar encounter.

Jane Doe 2 claims she was recruited to serve as a bottle service girl at a party thrown by Diddy, agreeing to the job after being offered $2,000 in cash.

Upon arrival, she was reportedly given a specific outfit to wear—one chosen by Diddy—and a drink that believed was laced with drugs​.

Jane Doe 2 alleges that shortly after consuming the drink, she lost control of her body and became incapacitated.

She states that Diddy and his associates took advantage of her vulnerable state, subjecting her to repeated sexual assaults while she drifted in and out of consciousness.

She describes Diddy as orchestrating the entire ordeal, directing his associates to rape her while he watched.

“Plaintiff recalls seeing Combs fully naked at one point and witnessing another man sodomizing him. Plaintiff believes that the assault may have been videotaped and later reached out to Combs to request that he delete the video, but Combs refused to comply,” according to Tony Buzbee, who’s representing both women.

Neither Trump nor the hotel are defendants in the lawsuit. As for Diddy, he remains behind bars on separate RICO and sex trafficking charges, but his attorneys have continued to deny all allegations.

Trick Daddy Opposes Kendrick Lamar’s “Song Of The Year” Nod

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: News

Trick Daddy is once again making his opinion known, and instead of bashing Nelly haters, this time he’s taking aim at Kendrick Lamar, his fanbase and the Recording Academy over the Grammys.

On Tuesday (February 4), the Miami rapper-turned-reality-TV personality shared his thoughts on the 67th Grammy Awards in a segment during the latest broadcast of 103.5 The Beat Miami radio show. While offering congratulations to Beyoncé for her historic win Album of The Year win for her Cowboy Carter country LP, he expressed skepticism over Kendrick Lamar receiving the coveted Song of the Year award with his “Not Like Us” Drake diss.

“Congratulations to the Queen Bey,” Trick Daddy said before promptly throwing shade on Lil Kim. “And I’m not talking about no Lil Kim, I’m talking about Beyoncé. Y’all know Beyoncé is the Queen B.” He commended the singer for finally winning a Grammy for her country-inspired album, celebrating her as “the baddest performer ever to hit the stage” despite their previous differences.

However, as Trick Daddy shifted gears, he heavily critiqued the decision to award Kendrick the Song of the Year title for the anthemic and inflammatory diss track that was a byproduct of the West Coast rap battle with Drake last year.

“What I don’t agree with last night is why they gave Kendrick Lamar the song of the year,” he stated. “BET would never give that award up.” He questioned the selection, suggesting, “And what I was saying to clarify everything was I don’t think that Kendrick Lamar song was the song of the year.”

Trick Daddy also touched on the perceived competition between Drake and Kendrick, arguing that their rivalry is overhyped and purely one-sided.

“Kendrick Lamar could never stand next to Drake Everybody knows that,” he asserted, comparing the idea of pitting them against each other to a futile playground fight.

Despite his strong opinions, Trick Daddy ended the segment with a positive message for aspiring artists. “Do your thing. Let’s try to stay away from the beef,” he advised, emphasizing that the music industry thrives when united.

Trick Daddy’s latest rant follows his recent comments about the backlash Nelly has faced following his performance during Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration. Drawing a parallel to Kodak Black’s past partnership with 6ix9ine, Trick Daddy reminded listeners how the public outcry surrounding that collaboration drowned out how lucrative of an opportunity it was for Kodak as an individual.

“Listen, I remember when Kodak Black did the song with Tekashi 6ix9ine, and everybody was saying, ‘Oh he a rat, he a rat’,” he recalled. “Well, maybe y’all a rat. He’s not my rat.”

Trick Daddy went on to celebrate the payday the St. Louis rapper secured for the gig, bringing the whole statement full-circle by remarking on the bag Kodak got for working with 6ix9ine, as well.

“Nelly did a podcast where he was explaining himself about performing,” he said. “First of all, Nelly, congratulations for that $1.5 million you got for that show. I wish they’d give me $1.5 million. Tekashi gave me $250,000. I would have did the verse for him. It’s not nothing personal when it’s your business.”

Lil Wayne Confirms He Won’t Be At Super Bowl LIX But Has “Exciting” Announcement Coming

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: News

Lil Wayne has come to terms with the fact that he won’t be the Apple Music Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show headliner in his native New Orleans, and instead, is using the moment as a springboard for his next move.

On Tuesday (February 4), Weezy shared a teaser video in an Instagram Story post in which he confirmed he won’t be attending the big game, where Kendrick Lamar will perform with SZA and other special guests. Instead, the Young Money mastermind instructed his fans to keep their eyes peeled for the days leading up to the event, when he says he will share his announcement.

“I’m not gonna be there this week,” Lil Wayne started off in the video. “Which means I guess there’s a seat to fill. Shout out to New Orleans but, I’ve been working on something very special. I got something exciting coming for you Thursday the 6th.”

A post shared by AllHipHop (@allhiphopcom)

Lil Wayne signed off, wearing a devious grin while rubbing his hands together and saying, “Until then, I’m just chilling.”

While it’s clear Wayne is keeping things under wraps until the big reveal, rumblings of the announcement being linked to his forthcoming album, the Carter 6 have begun to swirl on social media based on the “Amilli” rapper’s previous comments.

In September 2024 he told fans during an Instagram live stream that the album, and additionally confirmed its arrival during a interview backstage at the AT&T Playoff Playlist Live show at State Farm Arena in Atlanta last month.

Adding to the saga is the drama from last year following Wayne’s decision to address the backlash Kendrick faced after being announced as the headliner over Weezy, the clear hometown favorite. Last September Wayne vented in an emotional video during which he expressed his deep disappointment and pain over missing out on the coveted slot.

“First of all I wanna say forgive me for the delay,” he began. “I had to get strength enough to do this without breaking.” He then thanked everybody who spoke up for him and reached out to him, adding, “Your words turn into arms that held me up when I tried to fall back.”

He continued, accepting responsibility for not preparing himself for the announcement. “I blame myself for not being mentally prepared for a letdown and for just automatically mentally putting myself in that position; like somebody told me that was my position,” Wayne said. “But I thought there was nothing better than that. That stage and that platform in my city. So that hurt. It hurt a whole lot.”

And on top of that, there’s also the whole saga spawned my the GNX album track “Wacced Out Murals” on which Kendrick responded to Wayne’s statements while also lashing out at Snoop Dogg.

EXCLUSIVE: Target Accused Of Hawking Unauthorized Notorious B.I.G., While Slashing DEI Initiatives

By: Grouchy Greg Watkins (@GrouchyGreg)Category: News

Target may have slashed its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, but the retail giant had no problem cashing in on one of hip-hop’s most legendary figures—without permission.

The company is at the center of a lawsuit filed by the estate of The Notorious B.I.G., Republic Merchandising, and famed photographer Barron Claiborne, accusing Target and others of illegally profiting from the rapper’s image and likeness without authorization.

At the heart of the legal battle is Claiborne’s iconic 1997 “King of New York” photograph, taken just days before Biggie’s tragic murder.

The lawsuit claims that Target, through a third-party vendor, has been selling unauthorized merchandise featuring the image—widely regarded as the “Mona Lisa of Hip-Hop”—along with other trademarked Biggie branding.

The case alleges that iCanvas, an Illinois-based company specializing in canvas prints, is the main driver behind the unauthorized sales.

iCanvas provided Target, The Home Depot, Beyond, Nordstrom and other retailers with a massive catalog of infringing artwork, including over 100 Biggie-related designs—many of which utilized Claiborne’s photo.

iCanvas allegedly worked with a network of independent “artists” who uploaded designs featuring Biggie’s likeness despite not having the rights to do so.

The lawsuit states that iCanvas failed to properly vet its artwork, essentially turning its platform into a “super infringer” of celebrity images and trademarks.

The company allegedly facilitated sales by providing digital distribution, marketing, and order fulfillment for Target and the other retailers, allowing them to profit off Biggie’s name while bypassing the licensing process altogether.

Beyond just iCanvas, the complaint detailed how Target and the other corporate defendants actively marketed and sold the infringing items, falsely implying an official endorsement from Biggie’s estate.

Home Depot, Nordstrom and Target removed items infringing rights after representatives for B.I.G.’s contacted them in 2023, but the estate never received an accounting about what or how much sold.

“Defendants specifically chose to use Mr. Wallace’s persona, name, image, likeness, and related marks in an attempt to capitalize on their fame and extraordinary financial value,” the lawsuit states.

However, B.I.G.’s lawyers said Beyond continued to offer the items even after being notified of their unauthorized nature.

Despite Biggie’s estate and Claiborne’s attempts to remove the products, the lawsuit claims that at least three infringing items featuring the “King of New York” image remain available through iCanvas.

Target, facing massive boycotts and the other defendants, now face claims of unfair competition, false advertising, trademark infringement, right of publicity violations, and copyright infringement.

50 Cent Casually Comments On Feuding Rappers A$AP Rocky & Drake’s Ongoing Legal Battles

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: News

50 Cent is once again giving his two cents about the current rap news cycle, leading him to comment on feuding rappers A$AP Rocky and Drake’s legal issues.

On Monday (February 3), the G-Unit Films and TV mogul appeared in part two of his recent interview with Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast hosts Gillie Da King and Wallo.

In the video, Fifty spent a moment speaking about Drake’s legal battle with Universal Music Group over Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us.” And while he appeared to be on Drizzy’s side, he also dished out some harsh truths about the case.

“You can do everything wrong with a record and it still go where it’s supposed to go, in the beginning,” 50 Cent said while speaking on an artists tragectory. “Because they’re deciding you new, they’re finding you. The audience.”

As he continued, Fifty explained that a switch flips once an artist creates a platform for themselves, and as a result, ended up both qualifying and debunking Drake’s claims against UMG about boosting Kendrick’s Grammy Award-Winning hit.

“After you establish yourself as an established artist, you cannot work without a plan,” he said. “It has to come out and be orchestrated properly for you to have the hit. That’s why I’m going to say, we talking about Drake suing Universal—they did everything Drake said they did. They did it. But, they did it for Drake too.”

When pressed by Gillie and Wallo about whether or not the rumored record label machine worked in the same way for him, he made sure to differentiate himself and his career.

“My s### was already headed that way,” he said.

On the other hand, 50 Cent turned around and offered his latest thoughts on Rocky’s gun assault trial, which has become a media circus in Los Angeles amid court room appearances from Rihanna and testimony from the defendant, the Harlem rapper’s former friend A$AP Relli.

In a screenshot he shared in an Instagram post on February 3, Fifty mocked the news of Relli being a wanted man on two separate New Jersey warrants at the time of his testimony.

“Now what’s the chances of that, on the stand, on the run,” he wrote in the caption of the Instagram post. “Yeah throw this whole case away. This guy is trying to get some money that’s all. @bransoncognac @lecheminduroi.”

This isn’t the first time Fifty has mocked Relli, who accused Rocky of shooting him during a 2021 altercation in Hollywood. He reacted to a clip of Relli’s testimony from the second day of Rocky’s trial on January 28 in another IG post in which he slammed Relli in the caption, accusing him of orchestrating a shakedown.

“Man I hope Rockie alright this fool just want some money,” he wrote. “We seen this movie before it’s a re run, sucker ass [ninja emoji] smhmh.”

Nick Cannon Reveals Meagan Good Was Source Of His “1st Heartbreak” As Teen

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: Rumors

Nick Cannon is apparently not afraid of Meagan Good’s partner Jonathan Majors, and it’s evident based on his recent confession to the actress.

In a surprising revelation on the latest episode of the We Playin’ S####s podcast, Cannon opened up about his long-standing connection with actress Good, sharing that she was the first person to break his heart when they were teenagers. Cannon, now 43 and widely known for his expansive career and seemingly endless procreating, reminisced about their early days growing up together.

“Me and Meagan go way back, like real real,” Nick Cannon shared. “She was the first person to ever really break my heart because I was a kid.”

The Wild N’ Out host recounted how Good, then a rising Hollywood star was one of his first real connections in the industry and said he used to sleep on her couch when he was still living in San Deigo. Cannon pinpointed the point in her emerging careeer when she became known for her role in Eve’s Bayou, and recalled how she introduced him to the entertainment world.

“She invited me to my first Hollywood event and I was her date,” he said. “That was my first ever real date,”

Despite their young age—both were just 16 or 17 at the time—Cannon admitted he had a huge crush on Good but never gathered the courage to act on his feelings. “I never had a chance,” he confessed.

While Good appeared perplexed throughout the entire exchange, she also fondly remarked on the shared history she has with Cannon. But to be honest, it will be interesting to see how the trolls on social media dress this up into a controversy much like they did last July when footage of an exchange between Good and her co-star Michael Ealy and a bewildered Majors caused a stir online.

The interaction between the two took place at the PowerPlayers Mix & Mingle event in Los Angeles that Good attended with Majors. Footage of a photo-op from the event went viral after social media users began reacting to Ealy greeting Good by scooping her off of her feet with a hug, to which appeared to cause her to shriek with excitement.

Comedian/creator of the “85 South Show,” Karlous M, also reacted to the video in a series of tweets, the first of which he wrote, “This n###a disrespectful.”

“Hug my girl, pick her up and then don’t acknowledge me… yikes,” a user on Twitter (X) wrote in a tweet containing the video.

Michael Jordan’s Son Marcus Busted With That “White Girl”

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Michael Jordan’s son Marcus was busted with that “white girl” – not his new girlfriend – actual cocaine.

The younger Jordan was arrested Monday in Orlando on charges of driving under the influence, cocaine possession, and resisting arrest, marking another troubling chapter for the 34-year-old son of the basketball legend.

Taken into custody by Orange County authorities, Marcus was booked into jail with bail set at $4,000. The arrest unfolded after police allegedly pulled over Marcus for driving under the influence.

Officers reportedly found cocaine in his possession during the encounter, further compounding his legal predicament. While neither Marcus nor his iconic father, Michael Jordan, has commented on the incident, the arrest has reignited public scrutiny of the younger Jordan’s turbulent past.

This isn’t Marcus Jordan’s first brush with the law. Back in 2012, he made headlines after being detained in Omaha, Nebraska, following a drunken altercation with two women outside a hotel.

That incident resulted in charges of disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, and obstructing justice. Marcus eventually pleaded no contest to disturbing the peace and was fined $250 plus court costs.

The arrest comes amidst what appeared to be a stroll down memory lane for Marcus, who earlier Monday shared nostalgic throwback photos of his father on his Instagram Stories.

The posts, which depicted lighter moments from Michael Jordan’s storied career, now stand in sharp contrast to the controversy engulfing his son.

Though Marcus made a name for himself as a college basketball player at the University of Central Florida, his off-court behavior has often overshadowed any athletic legacy he might have forged in his father’s shadow.

In recent years, he has also gained attention for his high-profile relationship with Real Housewives of Miami star Larsa Pippen, the ex-wife of Michael Jordan’s former Chicago Bulls teammate Scottie Pippen.

The two had an on-again, off-again romance beginning in late 2022 before ultimately parting ways in July 2024.

According to the latest reports, Marcus Jordan is in a relationship with Ashley Stevenson, who bills herself as a model and influencer.

By: Houston WilliamsCategory: News

When Kendrick Lamar fans hear “MUSTAAAAAAAAAARRRD,” they know what time it is.

But this time, it’s not just about beats, it’s about eats. Recent Grammy Award-winning producer Mustard has joined forces with HEINZ, creating a limited edition condiment collaboration called the Mustard x Mustard.

Iniitally announced at the Grammys, Mustard gets a new job as the Chief Mustard Officer, marking the first time HEINZ has ever co-created a new mustard flavor in the U.S. On top of that, it’s the fire new mustard flavor in nearly a decade. Expect exclusive recipes, events and a product personally “mixed” by the famous producer

“This collab coming to life is a big deal and something that has been decades in the making for me,” Mustard said in a statement. “Everyone knows me for my beats and sound, but what they don’t know is that cooking and grilling is a huge part of my life. I’m on the grill every chance I get. I’ve been using HEINZ since I was a kid, so partnering with them is something I’ve always wanted to do.”

Mustard is more than his recent work with Kendrick Lamar, as he has helped shape modern Hip-Hop and R&B. He has long had a diamond-encrusted HEINZ Mustard chain and fans have been calling for this collab for months.

The announcement debuted with a slick short film, remixing the viral “MUSTAAAAAAAAAARRRD” soundbite into a HEINZ ketchup commercial.

Todd Kaplan, North American Chief Marketing Officer for Kraft Heinz, expressed his excitement about the partnership.

“Much like HEINZ, Mustard is someone who goes all in when he creates something to put out into the world,” Kaplan said. “He has been a fan of the brand for years, so it was only a matter of time before Mustard met his perfect match with HEINZ. It’s been great to collaborate with him on so many levels, as this partnership will manifest in an amazing new sauce remix that we know our collective fans will love.”

Beyond just a product drop, Mustard’s new role as Chief Mustard Officer means fans can expect pop-up events, recipe remixes, and culinary surprises throughout 2025.

Pete Rock Graciously Accepts Grammy Defeat After Common Collab Loses To Doechii

By: Kyle EusticeCategory: News

Ask any artist and they’ll say simply being nominated for a Grammy Award is a prestigious honor not to be taken for granted. Pete Rock, who was up for a Best Rap Album trophy for his collaboration with Common The Auditorium Vol. 1 and Best Rap Performance for “When the Sun Shines Again” featuring Posdnuos, knows this all too well.

On Sunday (February 2), the award was handed out to Doechii for her work on Alligator Bites Never Heal, her major label mixtape debut (Capitol Records), at the 67th Grammy Awards in Los Angeles. Rock handled the loss well and took to Instagram to express his gratitude for being nominated in the same category as Eminem, Future x Metro Boomin, J Cole and, of course, Doechii.

“WE LOVE THE CULTURE!” he wrote. “WE GON KEEP IT PUSHIN S/O TO THE WINNERS TONIGHT @doechii & @kendricklamar on doing such a great job. Auditorium Vol.2 will be a fun challenge for me cuz its all about being better than you were yesterday! We got this king @common Dont even worry bout it. Salute to the @recordingacademy for the recognition.”

The accompanying graphic read: “Listen, 2 grammy noms is better than none. We represented the culture the proper way and got nominated twice. Only tells us the world is feeling Auditorium Vol. 1. Thank you to all who voted for us.”

Pete Rock, one of the most celebrated Hip-Hop producers in the genre’s history, isn’t letting his foot off the gas. As the title of The Auditorium implies, there’s another installment on the way. On Monday (February 3), Rock shared the cover art for and wrote, “Vol 2 will be interesting,” although he didn’t provide any further details.

Pete Rock first rose to prominence in the early 1990s as part of the duo Pete Rock & CL Smooth. Known for their classic album Mecca and the Soul Brother (1992), the duo is responsible for the single “They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.),” which is widely regarded as one of the greatest Hip-Hop songs of all time.

Rock had a hand in pioneering jazz-infused Hip-Hop production, using soulful samples and smooth beats, and collaborated with legendary artists like Nas, The Notorious B.I.G., Public Enemy and JAY-Z. Solo projects include Soul Survivor (1998) and Petestrumentals (2001). His production style heavily influenced the sound of ’90s Hip-Hop and continues to shape modern beats. His signature technique of chopping and layering samples helped define the golden era of boom-bap Hip-Hop.

Drake Dons Bullet Hole-Ridden Hoodie On Tour Opening Night: “Still Alive” 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Drake launched his Anita Max Win Tour with a bold statement, sporting a black hoodie ridden with fake bullet holes while smoke dramatically billowed from his back—seemingly addressing his survival after the Kendrick Lamar battle. 

The OVO founder launched his tour of Australia and New Zealand at Perth’s RAC Arena on Tuesday (February 4).  

He made a spectacular entrance to the concert, emerging into the packed venue through a haze of smoke and flashing lights.  

Adding to the drama, Drake’s Take Care cut “Over My Dead Body,” blasted from the speakers as he descended.  

Drake’s concert comes hot on the heels of Kendrick Lamar’s Grammys sweep on Sunday night. “Not Like Us” scooped five awards, including Record of the Year and Song of the Year—leaving many fans to speculate that it’s the final blow to Drake’s reign, with some even claiming there’s no bouncing back. 

Drake appeared to address the chatter and the Kendrick Lamar feud before closing his Perth show.  

“My name is Drake; I started doing music in 2008,” he told the crowd. “I come all the way from Toronto, Canada. The year is now 2025, and no matter what, Drizzy Drake is very much still alive.” 

He also took to Instagram after the show, sharing a few cryptic lines that seemed to hint at his reaction to the fallout from the battle. 

“They thought einstein was lying & shakespeare was barely rhyming & edison wasn’t lit despite what he was designing,” he wrote. “So how can I give af what they say about my stars aligning.”

Diddy Accused Of Assaulting Male Rapper During Wild “Freak Off” Inside LA Nightclub

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing fresh allegations of drugging and sexually assaulting a 23-year-old aspiring rapper during a wild orgy.

A new lawsuit filed Monday (February 3) accuses Diddy of luring the young man with tantalizing promises of a record deal and studio time before allegedly assaulting him after an event in Los Angeles.

The plaintiff, identified as John Doe, alleges that the ordeal began at QC’s 20/20, a Southeast Los Angeles venue where Combs and his entourage reportedly hosted an exclusive after-party.

Doe claims he was told by an associate of Diddy’s that the music tycoon had taken an interest in his talent and would potentially offer him a contract through his iconic label, Bad Boy Records if his performance impressed.

Brimming with excitement, Doe performed his set and believed he had secured the opportunity of a lifetime.

Following his performance, Doe says he was ushered into a VIP breakout room in the back of the club, where he was handed a Ciroc Vodka-based cocktail, allegedly sent by Diddy.

Soon after consuming the drink, the lawsuit recounts, Doe felt disoriented, slipping in and out of consciousness. As his condition worsened, he says he realized he had been drugged.

According to the complaint, when Doe regained partial consciousness, he observed Diddy and numerous other individuals, including some unnamed celebrities, engaging in sexual activity with people who appeared to be unconscious, drugged, or possibly paid escorts.

Shock turned to fear as Doe claims he found himself the target of Diddy’s unwanted sexual advances. Wearing only partially removed clothing, he allegedly awoke to find Diddy groping him after what he believes was oral sex performed on him without consent.

The lawsuit contends that when Doe attempted to resist, Diddy’s security team physically intervened to subdue him.

Doe alleges that Diddy threatened his budding music career, saying he could call his manager and ensure he’d never succeed in the music industry if he didn’t comply with his demands.

Outnumbered and fearing for his safety, Doe says he pretended to cooperate before using a ploy to escape. He told Diddy and his team he needed water and a restroom break, which allowed him to slip out of the venue and flee in his car.

This latest lawsuit further deepens the crisis surrounding Combs, who is currently jailed at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking and racketeering charges.

These civil allegations bear echoes of previous accusations leveled against the music mogul and paint another grim portrait of Diddy’s alleged modus operandi.

Over 100 lawsuits have been filed against Diddy, portraying a man who, for decades, used his sprawling business empire encompassing record labels, nightclubs and entertainment ventures as a front for predatory behavior.

The lawsuit details a disturbing pattern of coercion, intoxication of victims with substances such as GHB and Rohypnol, and a calculated abuse of the allure of fame and fortune.

Tony Buzbee, who represents John Doe, is seeking compensatory and punitive damages, accusing Diddy of leveraging his industry stature to entrap and exploit vulnerable individuals.

Did Jim Jones & Juelz Santana Go MAGA?

By: Houston WilliamsCategory: Rumors

Jim Jones and Juelz Santana are back in the mix, and this time, they’re throwing subliminals with a twist. The ongoing tension between Jim and Cam’ron doesn’t seem to be fading, and this new development only adds fuel to the fire.

Over the weekend, Jim enlisted Juelz to appear in a video that immediately had fans clutching their pearls. At first glance, it looked like they were rocking MAGA hats. The internet, as expected, went into an uproar, with people accusing them of being “diabolical traitors.”

But hold on, folks—plot twist. Upon closer inspection, the hats didn’t say “Make America Great Again.” Instead, they read “Make Dipset Great Again.” Ah, now that’s a statement to unpack.

Dipset was already great, in my opinion. The Harlem crew revolutionized Hip-Hop fashion, slang, and style in ways that are still felt today. However, the very guys who helped build the iconic brand apparently feel like something is missing. Cam’ron, the Dipset frontman, has been leaning more into his media bag alongside former rival-turned-co-host Mase on “It Is What It Is.” The sports talk show has been wildly successful, raking in big numbers (and money!) It seems like Jim and Juelz feel Dipset’s music legacy is what really needs to be brought to the front.

Is Cam even interested in this Dipset revival? I think the Verzuz killed all that. From the looks of it, he’s thriving in his new lane. Plus, let’s not forget that he and Jim have had on-again, off-again issues for years. Cam hasn’t exactly been enthusiastic about rekindling the rap group. I also think he blames Jim for the Verzuz debacle.

This latest stunt could be a strategic chess move from Jim to pull Cam into some mess. Will Cam’ron take the bait? Will he dust off the pink fur and step back in the booth? Or will he just laugh it off on his show and keep it pushing? Either way, Dipset drama never gets old. Stay tuned.
