Sexyy Red is back with a viral challenge that’s taking over social media. The Internet stays undefeated and this time it has cooked up a wild new challenge. The question is simple, outrageous and apparently irresistible. Would you rather have one night with Sexyy Red or take $500 in food stamps? Only the internet, y’all.
What’s funny is how quickly people jumped into the debate. People are arguing and joking about this. People just can’t resist weighing in on Sexyy Red. She’s become one of the most polarizing, influential, hood celebrities in Hip-Hop. Her look, her vibe and her unfiltered personality make her a lightning rod. Some call her attractive. Some say the opposite. She’s heard it all and her clapbacks are epic.
She has posted plenty of pictures reminding the world she can look fly when she feels like it. Drake clearly finds her entertaining enough to hang around. If you asked him personally whether he wanted a night with Sexyy Red or food stamps, he’s taking it.
So far she hasn’t chimed in on the challenge. I think she will if we nudge her. She’s built her whole lane on not taking social media trolling too seriously. Give it time.
Drop in the comments and let us know where you stand. A night with Sexyy Red or $500 in food stamps? If you aren’t on food stamps, you might want to clarify whether you’d take cash instead, just for the record.
Rapper Fly Boy Dougy broke his silence from behind bars about the devastating Stockton mass shooting that claimed four lives at a child’s birthday party.
The 25-year-old rapper, arrested on parole violations two days after the November 29 attack, provided his firsthand account of the chaos that unfolded when gunfire erupted during what should have been a celebration.
Williams told KCRA 3 from San Joaquin County Jail that he initially mistook the gunshots for balloons popping.
“I was already turned around to the kids, so I just heard shots,” Fly Boy Doughy said. The party guest described watching in horror as children fell around him, prompting him to spring into action.
“I just started to run after all the kids I saw fall and I started to carry them,” Fly Boy Doughy recounted. He criticized law enforcement’s response time, claiming officers took too long to enter the building while children lay wounded.
“When the police came, they didn’t run to the kids. They were still pointing the guns. And I was like, ‘the kids is dying,’ and they wouldn’t listen,” Fly Boy Doughy said.
Doughy and 22-year-old Luciano Guerrero, aka Nano, who hosted the party, remain in custody on parole violations but are not considered suspects in the shooting.
The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation confirmed both men were arrested for violating their parole terms, not for involvement in the mass shooting.
According to CDCR records, Doughy entered custody in November 2021 on a three-year sentence for child abuse and corporal injury resulting in a traumatic condition, with an enhancement for domestic violence involving great bodily injury.
Guerrero received a two-year sentence in October 2023 for carrying a loaded firearm as an active gang member and evading police while driving recklessly.
The San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that firearms recovered from the banquet hall were not linked to either of the arrested individuals. Sheriff Patrick Withrow expressed confidence that law enforcement will capture those responsible for the birthday party shooting.
The attack at the banquet hall on Lucile Avenue and Thornton Road left four people dead – ages 8, 9, 14 and 21 – with 13 others injured. Survivors’ ages range from 8 to around 30.
“It’s babies we’re talking about, children,” Fugazi said. “We’re talking about a cake being cut as bullets are ringing out. The candles have been blown out, you’re cutting the cake, and then bullets are flying out, piercing, going through flesh and killing four people.”
50 Cent is basking in praise for his Netflix docuseries Sean Combs: The Reckoning_,_ but he’s also firing off new legal shots in a bitter Hollywood war over a movie he says hijacked his name, face, and brand.
The rap mogul just filed another blistering lawsuit in Los Angeles federal court, accusing Skillhouse producer Ryan Kavanaugh and his companies of breaking a settlement and continuing to use his image to promote the bombed-out horror flick and a rival streaming service.
The timing is wild.
While the rest of the world talks about The Reckoning, 50’s explosive Diddy doc laying bare years of abuse and power plays, he’s back in court fighting over what he calls “brazen and unauthorized” use of his likeness.
The doc cemented his reputation as Hip-Hop’s new truth-teller, but this case, about a movie that critics called “a giant pile of s###,” shows how protective he is of that reputation.
According to the 50-page complaint, 50 Cent agreed to appear in Skillhouse back in 2022 after some early talks with Kavanaugh, but says no final deal was ever signed.
He still filmed scenes in good faith, trusting that the paperwork would get done. It didn’t.
Instead, the lawsuit claims Kavanaugh and his crew slapped “A 50 CENT MOVIE” and “PRODUCED BY 50 CENT” across the posters and promo clips, then used his image and even bottles of his champagne brand, Le Chemin du Roi, to give the project more credibility.
That might’ve been bad enough, but the lawsuit says the situation went nuclear this spring after both sides settled the case on May 12.
50 says Kavanaugh’s team broke the deal almost immediately, never paid up, and kept promoting Skillhouse using his face and trademarks.
The real insult, according to the filing, came when Kavanaugh’s team used 50’s likeness to help launch their own streaming service, GenTV, directly competing with his own platform, 50 Cent Action, which he runs with Lionsgate.
Skillhouse barely cracked $100,000 at the box office before being yanked from theaters and 50 says the damage hit him hard. He claims the bad buzz tanked his acting offers and hurt the value of his production brand.
One furious reviewer wrote, “I think a $12 lobotomy would’ve been more enjoyable than the $12 I spent to go watch this giant pile of s###.”
Another called it “Actively one of the worst things I’ve ever seen. Barely classifies as a film.” Horror outlets piled on, branding it “time-wasting brain rot” and a “garbage dump of a movie.”
Now, 50 Cent is asking the court for at least $5 million and full control over his image rights.
For a guy whose Diddy doc just became one of Netflix’s most talked-about true crime releases, the contrast couldn’t be sharper.
On one side, 50 Cent’s Sean Combs: The Reckoning is drawing praise for its unflinching look at Hip-Hop’s fallen mogul.
On the other hand, he’s suing to keep his own brand from being dragged through the mud by a flop horror movie he says he never approved.
Not in the mood for dinner dates, awkward small talk, or wondering why they still haven’t texted back? Good news—you don’t need a significant other to have a significant time. Welcome to the solo cosplayer’s guide to turning an ordinary night into a full-blown fantasy.
Whether you’re rocking fishnets or foam armor, slipping into latex or silk, this one’s for anyone who’s decided to skip the romance and say yes to themselves. Let’s swipe right on self-expression, self-confidence, and play that’s all about you.
1. The Real Match Is You + Your Favorite Character
Tired of scrolling through dating apps hoping someone checks your oddly specific boxes? Time to turn the spotlight inward. Cosplay lets you become the character that you connect with most—no compromises, no settling.
Tonight, your OTP is you… and the persona that makes you feel unstoppable.
2. Costume Before Connection
Forget dressing to impress. Now you’re dressing to express. Lace, leather, latex, mesh—your wardrobe is your playground. Whether you’re channelling a sultry villain, a heroic femme knight, or something delightfully unhinged, Cosplayground’s collection lets you build the exact vibe you’re going for.
And yes, it’s totally valid to put on full costume just to lounge, dance, or take thirst traps alone in your room. You may check Jade Kush Cosplay.
3. Create Your Own Roleplay Scenario
Who says you need a partner to roleplay? Write your own fantasy, start your own scene, and embody every sultry, strange, or powerful moment of it. Light the candles, cue the music, dim the lights—this isn’t a rehearsal. It’s your stage.
Tonight, you’re the writer, director, and lead character.
4. Play With Personas
Solo cosplay gives you permission to experiment. Want to be a seductive sorceress tonight and a shy schoolgirl tomorrow? Do it. Want to combine a demon tail with a harness and cat ears? Go off.
No one’s judging. You’re free to mix, match, and invent without ever having to explain why.
5. Your Mirror Is Your Match
The most affirming moment? That glance in the mirror when the outfit clicks. The lip gloss shines. The ears are just right. That’s not vanity—that’s recognition.
You didn’t swipe right on someone else—you saw yourself, and finally said, “Damn. I look good.”
6. Mood Boost Without the Mood Swings
Cosplay is scientifically proven (okay, not really, but it should be) to improve your mood, boost confidence, and reduce the urge to text your ex. It’s a creative outlet that puts you in control—and keeps you there.
No mixed signals. No drama. Just good lighting and great costumes.
7. Take the Pics. Take All the Pics.
You don’t need followers to post. You don’t need a partner to pose. Build a whole folder of alter egos and aesthetic moments—just for you.
If you want to post, go ahead. If you want to keep it private, even better. This is about loving what you see, no filter needed.
8. Solo ≠ Lonely
Some of the best cosplayers in the world got started alone in their rooms. That quiet creativity? It’s where magic happens.
And if you do want to share, there are entire communities ready to hype you up, cheer you on, and ask where you got that vinyl bodysuit. (Spoiler: It’s probably from Cosplayground
.)
9. Explore Without Explaining
One of the best things about solo roleplay? You don’t need to explain your kinks, preferences, or why you’re wearing demon horns with lingerie. You can explore power, softness, seduction, or silliness without anyone else’s expectations.
Liberation, thy name is cosplay.
10. Romance Is Optional. Fun Is Not.
Who says romance has to involve someone else? Romance can be a bubble bath in full costume. It can be slow dancing with yourself in the mirror. It can be celebrating your own damn fine self in the most extra, over-the-top way possible.
You’re not waiting for a date. You are the main event.
In an era where viral dances, AI videos, and fake internet beef seem to run Hip-Hop, Bronx spitter David Bars is stubbornly committed to something way less trendy: being real. A certified “MC’s MC” who came up as the young gun around legends like DJ Premier and D.I.T.C., Bars has already lived the kind of stories a lot of rappers pretend to have. He has been in packed studios with giants since his teens, studied the craft from the inside, and now finds himself navigating a landscape where algorithms, content farms and podcasts compete with the music he loves.
In this candid conversation with AllHipHop at WonWorld Studios, David talks about why he is dropping singles instead of albums, how he feels about the Kendrick vs Drake battle, why fake beef is corny, what Cardi B being the “top rapper” really means, and how he is adapting with TikTok tempos while still trying to stay “official in a fake time.”
AllHipHop: You have been dropping a lot of singles lately. Why focus on singles instead of a full album right now?
David Bars: I already did albums before, so it is not like I am scared of an album. I just tried a different formula. Right now it feels like the better route for what I am trying to do. If enough people start asking for an album, I will give them an album. I got enough music in the tuck. It is just a matter of structuring it the right way.
AllHipHop: Do streaming and short attention spans play into that decision?
David Bars: It got a lot to do with everything. The way people listen is different now. One minute songs, two minute songs. If you drop an album and it hits later, people will go back and dig through your whole catalog. But until that moment comes, singles make more sense. If somebody asks you to name five David Bars songs, it is more likely you know them because I drop singles.
AllHipHop: You are known as a lyricist. Do you ever get frustrated that a lot of Hip-Hop today does not seem to care as much about bars?
David Bars: I would not say frustrated. You just got to learn to adapt. I enjoy a lot of new music. I listen to old school too, but I am not sitting around like, “I wish lyrics would come back.” Times change. I can adapt to the times. I just miss how it was. Back then it felt like lyrics were appreciated more. That is why people get excited for a Clipse album or a Mobb Deep type of album. It is a different time.
AllHipHop: Did the Drake vs Kendrick situation make you feel like the culture remembered bars again for a second?
David Bars: It is a sport. Hip-Hop is a competitive sport. That whole situation excited me. I love seeing Kendrick on that type of time. And the crazy part is how fast it was. They were going back and forth in real time. If Nas had taken as long as he did with “Ether” in this era, he would have been cooked. The media part of it would have finished him. Today you have to have your sword ready.
AllHipHop: A lot of so called “beefs” now feel planned for clicks. Where do you stand on that?
David Bars: I am not with the fake beef. Unless somebody comes at me directly, I am not jumping out the window to start something for views. I like walking around and doing what I want. We from the street. I am not doing all that corny [__] for attention. If somebody throws a shot, I am with it, you will see another side of Bars. But I am not staging no fake drama.
AllHipHop: You said something real honest about the game. You are just trying to stay official in a fake time. What did you mean by that?
David Bars: All this [] is corny to me, bro. Me being me is probably my worst curse. I am not that type of dude. Certain [] I am not going to stand for. So it might be an issue in this lane I chose. But I would rather keep it official for myself. When the chips fall, they fall. I am not here to be a character.
AllHipHop: Hip-Hop is so mainstream now that the top charting rapper is Cardi B. How do you feel about that dynamic?
David Bars: She from the Bronx, so shout out to her. But if we talking about rapper vs MC, that is different. If you do not write, you more of an entertainer. And I am not even mad at that. She is honest about it. There is no fake story around it. The issue is how people place it. You cannot call somebody the top lyricist if they are not writing. But being an entertainer is still work. It is just a different category.
AllHipHop: Speaking of the game changing, it feels like every OG has a podcast now. What do you think when you see that wave?
David Bars: Everybody is in podcasting. It is crazy. But that is what is working right now. Time changes. You got to adapt. I cannot knock the hustle. They getting money. For me, I am still too in love with the music to jump there full time. Maybe later. Right now I still want to rap.
AllHipHop: You also talked about AI visuals. A lot of rappers are experimenting. What is your take?
David Bars: I kind of hate AI. It can be cool if you use the right person and go all the way with it, like some Star Wars level crazy. But the way most rappers are using AI right now looks corny. If it is not super authentic or super ill, it just looks cheap.
AllHipHop: What about collaborations. Are there artists you want to work with, or are you focused more on producers?
David Bars: I am more focused on producers right now, but I am down to collab. It just has to make sense. If we got mutual respect and it is organic, cool. I am not paying an artist just to chase a feature. You could have Kendrick on a whole album and that does not guarantee people will listen to you. That said, when you spar with certain people, it is motivating. It is fun competition.
AllHipHop: Part of this era is the machines and algorithms. You talked about “tricking the machine.”
David Bars: That is really what it is. It is not just labels and marketing anymore. It is machines pushing you or burying you. Sometimes collabs help because the algorithm connects similar artists and sends people down that rabbit hole. You got to be strategic and figure out how to use that to your advantage.
AllHipHop: There is a huge overseas market for lyricism. Have you tapped into that yet?
David Bars: Not enough. I need to travel more. But I look at my Spotify numbers and see crazy places – Africa, Japan, Switzerland and all kinds of countries. People overseas love the culture, not just the rap. That is one of the dopest things about these apps. We can actually see where the listeners are.
AllHipHop: You mentioned adapting your sound for TikTok with uptempo records. What does that look like for you?
David Bars: I started doing 110, 120 BPM joints. Tempo music people can dance to. I got mad dance videos on TikTok to my records. I dropped more than ten songs that fit that lane and they were going crazy over there. I am not closed off to everything. I am just trying to adapt without losing myself.
AllHipHop: What is next for David Bars?
David Bars: I got a single called “No Time.” I am going to keep putting out music, keep it official and figure out the code like everybody else. You can find me at @DavidBars_ on Instagram and TikTok. Tap in.

Iggy Azalea addressed persistent romance rumors with streamer N3on, firmly stating she maintains zero romantic interest in men significantly younger than herself.
The Australian rapper responded to fan speculation on Instagram, declaring: “We are friends and business partners on an online casino it’s sorta annoying seeing the clickbait everytime I stream with him tbh cause I’m very single (n wouldn’t never take sexual interest in men that are a decade+ younger than me lmfao).”
Azalea’s direct statement comes after months of fan theories about her relationship with the 19-year-old content creator, whose real name is Ragnesh Mutama.
The speculation intensified in October when Azalea posted a cryptic tweet reading “That didn’t last long,” which fans interpreted as a reference to N3on’s bedroom performance.
The “Fancy” hitmaker previously confirmed she friend-zoned N3on during a September livestream, while announcing their multi-million-dollar business partnership.
She signed him as co-owner of her MOTHERLAND digital gaming venture, a $25 million online casino combining cryptocurrency, slots, sports betting and celebrity entertainment.
The MOTHERLAND casino partnership represents Azalea’s latest business expansion beyond music.
The platform launched in September 2025, featuring N3on as a key promotional figure through his streaming content. Industry reports indicate the venture targets the intersection of gaming culture and Hip-Hop entertainment.
N3on previously dated fellow content creator Sam Frank before their August 2025 breakup.
Azalea’s business-focused approach with N3on demonstrates her commitment to expanding her entertainment empire while maintaining clear personal boundaries.
Patrick Peterson watched his 14-year-old son, Amari, crawl across the floor, blood streaming from his face, as gunfire erupted at what should have been a joyful birthday celebration in Stockton.
The father desperately attempted CPR on his dying child after multiple gunmen opened fire at Monkey Space banquet hall Saturday evening, targeting local rappers MBNel and FlyBoy Doughy in an attack that killed four people and wounded 11 others.
“All I can see is my son crawling on the ground and me trying to resuscitate him,” Peterson told ABC10. “I just heard gunshots and then the shooter came in. I turned my back, and I looked at him and I just start seeing him shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot.”
Amari Peterson died from a gunshot wound just above his heart during the 6 P.M. assault at the 2-year-old’s birthday party. His sister was grazed by bullets in the chaos that claimed victims ranging from 8 to 30 years old.
“Everybody running off and my son is just sitting there crawling, just trying to get up,” Peterson said. “I’m trying to give him CPR… and he just has blood coming out of his face. It’s just something that a father should never have to go through.”
The grieving father described Amari as a sports-loving teenager with a gentle spirit. “He loved sports, he loved football. He loved basketball,” Peterson said. “He ran a little bit of track but overall, he was a gentle soul.”
Peterson said the traumatic scene replays constantly in his mind. “I’m like laying over my son while he’s sitting there breathing… trying to breathe…” he said. “Every day he would tell me, ‘Dad, I love you. Dad, I appreciate you.’ Every night, every morning that boy would tell me he loved me.”
Law enforcement officials confirmed the shooting was a calculated attack targeting Filipino-American rapper MBNel, who is an admitted member of the Muddy Boy Crips and his associate, FlyBoy Doughy, who is an admitted member of the FlyBoy Crips.
Both rappers were among the 15 people shot during the celebration.
“This was a targeted act,” San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Heather Brent told reporters during a late-night press conference.
MBNel, known for his 2020 album Born To Win, had revealed his location on social media shortly before the ambush. The 28-year-old rapper previously survived a similar assassination attempt in September 2020 and was later arrested during a gang-related investigation.
MBNel’s father, Junior Dongon, told The New York Post his son is now in hiding and fearing for his life.
“He just came to drop off a present at his friend’s party, whose daughter was the celebrant,” Dongon said. “He was shot, but he is OK. … He called me and said, ‘Don’t say anything to anybody.”
Some are claiming the attack appears connected to an ongoing feud between MBNel’s crew and the EBK gang, whose members include popular rapper EBK Jaaybo.
Stockton Mayor Christina Fugazi confirmed the shooting was gang-related violence, calling it “domestic terrorism.” She said President Trump’s advisers contacted her on Sunday, offering federal assistance in the manhunt.
“Let’s call it what it is. This is domestic terrorism. This is gang violence, and it has to stop in our city,” Fugazi told Fox40.
The other victims killed were ages 8, 9 and 21. An 8-year-old victim was identified as Maya Lupian, according to local reports. The wounded included children ages 9, 12 and 15, with injuries ranging from age 22.
Sheriff Patrick Withrow made an emotional plea for public assistance Sunday.
“I am confident in our team and with the work that we have done so far that we will find these animals that did this and bring them justice, but we still need the public’s help,” Withrow said.
Investigators believe multiple gunmen participated in the coordinated assault. Witnesses reported gunfire coming from several locations during the attack.
The FBI has offered a $50,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of those responsible for the case. District Attorney Ron Freitas urged the shooters to “turn yourself in immediately.”
As of Wednesday morning (December 3) no arrests had been made and the gunmen remain at large.
The San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office continues investigating the massacre as authorities work to prevent further retaliation in the ongoing gang conflict.
Nas is moving like a man on a mission right now and it’s wild to watch in real time. The evolution over the last year has been something serious. He’s leveling up as a businessman and an artist at the same time, and the non-rap side of his world is starting to look like a whole empire. It’s dope seeing these legends stacking real money while still pushing culture.
And you already know Nas was the unofficial ringleader of this year’s “OG Renaissance” in Rap. Not old. We’re talking elder statesmen who stepped forward culturally and reminded everybody what mastery looks like. I love it. The kids still run the sales charts, but this year the OGs made their presence felt.
Which brings us to this little whisper floating around.
Sources—not the strongest ones, let me stress—say Nas and the crew are quietly scouting who might join the next round of the “Legends” series. A couple names are being thrown around. The only one that feels even halfway solid is Kool G Rap, and honestly, that makes sense. They go way back and G is still sharp as a tack. One source tried to say KRS-One was also in the mix, but everything I’ve heard says that’s not true at all. In fact, I’ve been told “flat out false.” And look, I’m not about to go too deep on KRS-One…because the last time it was a mess.
All I’ll say is this: KRS-One dropping music in 2026 looks possible from what’s circulating online. That doesn’t mean he’s part of this Nas-helmed situation. He’s active though!
Meanwhile, there’s definitely movement behind the scenes for next year’s plans, but the focus right now is Nas’ incoming album this month. That’s the real story. Everybody’s watching to see if he can shake up the end-of-year convo and maybe step into the same ring as Freddie Gibbs, The Clipse, De La Soul, Gunna (yeah, I said it!) and the others who dropped heavy projects.
Diddy slammed the Netflix docuseries Sean Combs: The Reckoning as a “shameful hit piece” just days before its release, accusing the platform of using stolen footage and granting influence to longtime rival 50 Cent, while Netflix fired back, denying all claims.
The four-part series, which debuted Tuesday (December 2), dives into the sexual misconduct accusations leveled against Diddy since late 2023 and includes previously unseen footage of the Hip-Hop mogul and his entourage.
Diddy, currently serving a four-year sentence for prostitution-related charges, has not been convicted of sex trafficking or racketeering conspiracy, both of which he was acquitted of.
Diddy’s camp issued a scathing statement ahead of the docuseries’ premiere, alleging that Netflix “relied on stolen footage that was never authorised for release” and that it was “fundamentally unfair, and illegal, for Netflix to misappropriate” video he had collected since age 19.
His team also criticized the involvement of Jackson, calling him “a longtime adversary with a personal vendetta.”
Netflix responded swiftly to the accusations, telling Variety that the allegations were baseless.
“The project has no ties to any past conversations between Sean Combs and Netflix,” the spokesperson said. “The footage of Combs leading up to his indictment and arrest were legally obtained. This is not a hit piece or an act of retribution. Curtis Jackson is an executive producer but does not have creative control. No one was paid to participate.”
Director Alexandria Stapleton, who helmed the project, also defended the production’s integrity.
“We moved heaven and earth to keep the filmmaker’s identity confidential,” she told Netflix’s Tudum. “One thing about Sean Combs is that he’s always filming himself and it’s been an obsession throughout the decades.”
Kanye West just can’t catch a break when it comes to that infamous Malibu beach house he completely destroyed.
The concrete shell that used to be a $57 million architectural masterpiece is now being pitched as a members-only timeshare – if the guy who bought it from Ye might lose it to foreclosure. Steven “Bo” Belmont, the developer who scooped up West’s gutted disaster for $21 million back in September 2024, has been scrambling to make something work with this property ever since.
First, he tried flipping it for $39 million, then dropped it to $34.9 million when nobody bit.
According to Realtor.com, Belmont is going full Silicon Valley startup mode with something called “Populis” – basically turning the place into a luxury real estate timeshare where rich folks can buy “memberships” to get a piece of the action.
You can drop anywhere from $1,000 for a basic “gold” membership to $300,000 for the “Founders Circle” package. That top-tier membership gets you chef dinners, concierge service, and four private estate sessions a year where you can bring up to 12 guests.
But Belmont’s got bigger problems than figuring out his membership tiers.
Quality Loan Service Corp just hit him with a notice of default, claiming he owes $814,623.54 on his $18.5 million mortgage as of November 4. He’s got 90 days to catch up or risk losing the whole thing to foreclosure.
Kanye West originally bought this place in 2021 for $57.3 million, right after his split from Kim Kardashian. The Tadao Ando-designed masterpiece was supposed to be his creative sanctuary, but Ye turned it into his personal demolition project.
The rap star ripped out everything – plumbing, electrical, windows, interior finishes – basically turning a work of art into a concrete bunker. When West finally gave up on his apocalypse-shelter dreams and listed it in January 2024, he had to settle for the $21 million from Belmont. That’s a $36 million loss.
In 2025, West started liquidating properties left. He sold his Wyoming ranch back to the original owners for $14 million after letting it fall apart, and he’s behind on property taxes for his childhood home in Chicago.
Reports say he’s “desperate for money” and others claim he will be bankrupt by the end of 2026.
Rapper 23 Brazy was sentenced to 58 years in prison on Tuesday after pleading guilty to second-degree murder in the 2023 shooting that killed 10-year-old La’Marj Holden during a violent dispute in Franklin, Virginia.
The 24-year-old rapper avoided a potential 93-year sentence through a plea deal that included suspended time on several charges.
According to court documents, 23 Brazy received 40 years for second-degree murder, 20 years for aggravated malicious wounding with 15 suspended, and two 10-year terms for attempted first-degree murder and firing into an occupied building, both of which were fully suspended.
The shooting unfolded on August 9, 2023, when 23 Brazy and three others showed up at a home on Artis Street. Franklin police said an argument broke out between the rapper and a man at the residence. Gunfire erupted. Both the man and La’Marj were hit. The man survived. La’Marj did not.
The U.S. Marshals Service took over the search at the request of Franklin police. Investigators tracked leads across multiple states before locating 23 Brazy on June 18 at the Brookside Square Apartments in Boykins, Virginia, just 20 miles from the shooting scene.
“This complex investigation is another example of the tenacity and never-give-up attitude of Deputy U.S. Marshals and our state and local law enforcement partners,” said U.S. Marshals Senior Inspector Robert Bowers. “It is my hope the efforts of the investigators in this case will provide a small amount of comfort to the family of the victim in this case.”
Franklin Police Chief Steve Patterson also acknowledged the federal team’s role in closing the case.
A$AP Rocky credited Rihanna’s unwavering encouragement and presence during his Gotham Awards nomination, calling her his “spouse” while labeling her support a driving force behind his latest career leap from Hip-Hop to Hollywood.
The Harlem-born rapper was nominated for Breakthrough Performer at the 2025 Gotham Awards for his role in Spike Lee’s film Highest 2 Lowest. Speaking to People at Cipriani Wall Street on December 1, Rocky didn’t hold back when asked about the importance of Rihanna’s backing.

Iggy Azalea returned to Instagram Monday with a head-turning photo series that has her followers begging for mercy – and more.
The 35-year-old rapper and businesswoman posted a carousel of polished images wearing a slate-gray bodycon dress that clung to her toned, curvy frame.
The long-sleeved, high-neck outfit featured structured diagonal seams and was paired with a brown saddle bag and gold hoops. Her straight, honey-blonde hair was parted down the middle. The post marked a rare appearance for the Australian-born Hip-Hop artist, who has kept a low profile on social media this year.
But the glam wasn’t the only thing that caught attention; Iggy Azalea used the comment section to set the record straight about her future in music.
When asked by a user if she had anything dropping in 2026, she replied plainly: “No I’m retired.” Another comment prompted her to explain her absence from the platform, to which she responded, “I don’t dress up much these days so I don’t post. I’ll be ghost again after this till Christmas.”
The post quickly gained traction, racking up over 100,000 likes and thousands of comments from followers who welcomed her brief return.
Kim Kardashian revealed she underwent salmon sperm injections following the birth of her youngest child, adding her name to a growing list of celebrities experimenting with the eyebrow-raising skincare trend rooted in South Korean beauty science.
The reality mogul shared that she opted for the marine-based treatment as part of her post-pregnancy recovery routine. The procedure, known as polynucleotide therapy, involves injecting DNA fragments extracted from salmon t##### into the skin to encourage regeneration and improve texture.
Kim Kardashian isn’t alone in embracing the sea-sourced solution. Miley Cyrus confirmed she’s tried it too, mentioning it during a June concert.
Jennifer Aniston reportedly incorporates salmon-based serums into her daily skincare lineup and Denise Richards has also credited the fishy formula as part of her beauty upkeep.
The procedure uses a technique called micro-papules, which involves shallow injections of purified salmon DNA into facial tissue.
Each treatment consists of three sessions spaced one month apart. After each round, patients leave with a temporary bumpy texture that fades within 48 hours.
The treatment isn’t for everyone. People with seafood allergies, active acne, or autoimmune disorders are advised to skip it.
Kardashian’s latest endorsement follows her history of diving into unconventional beauty treatments, from vampire facials to cryotherapy and her influence has often helped push niche procedures into the mainstream.

The TV host and father of 12 shared a carousel of holiday snaps on Monday on Instagram, posing with 14-year-old twins Monroe and Moroccan, his children with Mariah Carey, alongside some of his younger kids.

YSL Woody shared devastating news: he revealed his newborn son died just weeks after birth, prompting an outpouring of sympathy from across the Hip-Hop world.
The Atlanta rapper held a funeral for the newborn, and he has not publicly disclosed the cause of death or the exact date his son passed. However, his posts suggest the baby was just over one month old.
He continues to share photos and videos of his son, capturing moments with his son and his son’s mother. Woody reflected on how the child’s brief life changed him, saying that the moment the child was born gave him a new sense of purpose and strength.
He described feeling transformed, overwhelmed by how lucky he felt to become a father, even as the loss left a wound he said would never fully close.
“You came into this world with your hands balled into a fist, which symbolize strength,” Lil Woody wrote, saying that moment made him feel “as I was the luckiest person alive.”
He admitted that his “heart will never heal from this” but promised, “I won’t be weak bc of you.” Woody said the child touched far more people than anyone could have imagined.
“You will never be forgotten,” he wrote, noting how “in 2months your presence touched the world. Millions of ppl watched you.” He described the love surrounding the child’s life as a spiritual gift, adding, “God is a God of love he sent you with so much of it!!!”

Drake secured Apple Music’s most-streamed artist position for 2025, while Kendrick Lamar‘s Grammy-winning diss track “Not Like Us” claimed the platform’s top rap song for the second consecutive year.
Apple Music announced Tuesday that the Toronto rapper earned the streaming service’s highest artist ranking, driven by momentum from his February collaboration Some Sexy Songs 4 U with PartyNextDoor and tracks from his upcoming “Iceman” album rollout.
The platform’s “’25 Replay” data revealed Lamar’s Drake-targeted track maintained its dominance in Hip-Hop categories, marking the first time any rap song held the genre’s top position across back-to-back years on Apple Music.
“Not Like Us” finished as 2025’s most-streamed rap song worldwide despite Rosé and Bruno Mars‘ “APT.” claiming the overall number one position across all genres.
The competing chart positions highlight the complex aftermath of Hip-Hop’s most publicized feud in recent memory.
The conflict erupted in 2024 with multiple diss tracks exchanged between the artists, culminating in “Not Like Us” becoming a cultural phenomenon that extended beyond music. Kendrick Lamar’s track earned five Grammy Awards in February 2025, including Record of the Year and Song of the Year, the ceremony’s most prestigious honors.
The Compton rapper dedicated his Record of the Year victory to “the culture” during his acceptance speech. Drake ultimately filed a legal response to the track over claims he was unfairly labeled a pedophile, which ruined his reputation and put his life in danger.
A federal judge dismissed his defamation lawsuit against Universal Music Group in October 2025, rejecting claims that the label intentionally promoted false statements about him in “Not Like Us.”
The Apple Music nod caps off a banner year in which both artists achieved significant milestones. Drake reached RIAA Diamond certification status for multiple tracks, while Kendrick Lamar’s surprise album GNX generated over 2 million sales within weeks of its November release.
Drake’s streaming dominance comes as he prepares to release Iceman, his first full-length studio album since the feud’s peak.
Megan Thee Stallion fired back at critics questioning her defamation victory against blogger Milagro Gramz after a Miami jury awarded the Houston rapper $75,000 in damages on December 1.
The legal dispute reached its conclusion when nine jurors found Milagro Cooper, known professionally as Milagro Gramz, liable for defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
The verdict included $15,000 in compensatory damages for defamation, $8,000 for emotional distress and $50,000 for promotion of deepfake pornography featuring the rapper.
Hours after the ruling, tensions escalated when both women issued competing statements about the case’s outcome and its implications.
Milagro Gramz went live on Instagram within hours of the verdict to address supporters and frame the ruling as motivation for future projects. The blogger, whose real name is Milagro Cooper, appeared defiant during the livestream.
“I’m start working on my mixtape because apparently the only place where you can bully people and talk crazy and pop s### is in the studio,” Milagro Gramz told viewers during the broadcast. “So I’m gonna go get on my mixtape s###, and make sure I channel all my energy into my raps and put that out. Let that be artistic expression.”
Gramz also released an official statement through Asilia Law Firm, P.A., while her Instagram Live featured more personal commentary on the case’s impact.
During the livestream, Gramz thanked her audience for their support throughout the legal proceedings.
“I love you guys so much. Hope that y’all can see the bigger picture and that you understand what new media is,” she said. “I hope that you understand that the things that we do, in the work that we put in, is valuable.”
The blogger maintained her stance despite the jury’s decision.
“Solid b######, they ain’t built, they born,” she continued. “I’m happy that I stood up for something that I believed in, followed it all the way through, and I don’t need validation from anybody else about those things.”
Thank you… Here they go lying again AS USUAL
If you want REAL MEDIA/NEWS know how to be Patient and know how to READ https://t.co/ST43pIBufG
Megan Thee Stallion responded directly to media coverage on X, writing: “Here they go lying again AS USUAL If you want REAL MEDIA/NEWS know how to be Patient and know how to read.”
The rapper’s legal team disputed claims from Gramz’s attorneys about the verdict’s scope, stating: “Contrary to public statements issued by Milagro’s attorneys, the court has not issued a final judgment regarding the defamation count. The judge will make a final ruling and determine the entire financial amount that Milagro will be required to pay Megan, inclusive of legal bills and the defamation count, at a later date.”
The case centered on allegations that Milagro Gramz spread false information about Megan Thee Stallion and promoted deepfake pornographic content featuring the rapper.
Megan’s legal team argued during trial that Gramz served as a “mouthpiece” and “puppet” for coordinated harassment campaigns.
The final judgment amount remains pending, as the judge will determine additional costs, including legal fees, at a later hearing.
