‘This is not even funny’: Tennessee tourists pay $418 for stay at 5-star hotel. Then they check in

A group of Tennessee tourists on a NASCAR trip pay $418 to book a stay at what they think is a 5-star hotel. When they check in, the accommodations are less than fancy.

TikTok creator @hollerhoneys shared the group’s story in a video posted Sep. 16. The video shows a room that looks more akin to a budget motel, and clearly lacks the quality to match the exorbitant price tag.

The group traveled to see the Bass Pro Shops Night Race at the famous Bristol Motor Speedway, which is located near the Tennessee-Virginia state line. It was a last-minute trip, and they could not get a refund, so they were effectively stuck.

‘This is Our Hotel That Had Great Reviews’

“OK, this is our hotel that had great reviews,” one said as she showed the motel room. “It was $418.71. OK, here’s our lock. I’m gonna show you the door. It’s super safe.”

As her friend points down, she notes the massive gap in the door. “Here’s the gaps. You know, good airflow is proper,” she jokes. “Can you see through? Can you see the lobby? Yep.”

Then her friend goes outside, and they “lock” the door, which opens through a non-functional latch. In the comments, the women said the room also had roaches. The group quickly evacuated and received another room with a functioning lock.

All the jokes were made in the comments, and the women participated in the fun. “Get your money back and leave before y’all are episode #134 of ‘Law & Order,'” said one person.

“$418.71 for the month, or?” joked another commenter. To which the women replied, “By the hour.”

One woman expressed the thoughts of several others. “This is not even funny,” she said. “I would be so mad.”

Another person noted their bravery for even putting their things down long enough to shoot a TikTok video. “Don’t let this video fool you,” they said. “We put the phone down and ran our [expletive] right back to the car.”

The NASCAR Effect on Hotel Room Prices

Fortunately, these women travel together and are safe together, seeing it as a funny incident in their NASCAR adventure. But this situation is far more common than it appears.

Hotels around Bristol routinely jack up rates during the Bass Pro Shops Night Race (and also the Food City 500) weekends, with $70 motels suddenly charging up to $400 per night. The practice is technically legal under supply-and-demand principles.

However, fans are increasingly vocal about paying hotel prices for poor accommodations, with some even reporting “lost” reservations that reappear at inflated rates. With only 6,000 hotel rooms in the area to serve a 160,000-seat stadium, Bristol has become a poster child for this phenomenon.

The hotels themselves aren’t in a hurry to fix their rooms, because they know people will do what these women did, and tough it out. Why update or upgrade even the basics like safety features when people are going to pay for them anyway, and NASCAR is only around two weekends a year?

“The Chronic” Collaborator RBX Sues Spotify—Says Drake Bot Fraud Cost Legit Performers Millions

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Category: News
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

RBX, the Long Beach rap veteran who debuted on Dr. Dre’s The Chronic, is taking Spotify to court, accusing the world’s largest music-streaming platform of knowingly allowing fake “bot” streams for Drake that cheated working artists out of millions.

In a 28-page class-action complaint filed November 2 in Los Angeles federal court, the rapper claims Spotify inflated total play counts by ignoring “billions of fraudulent streams” generated by automated accounts.  

The suit argues that these fake plays artificially inflated the earnings of superstar acts, such as Drake, while shrinking the royalty pool for all other artists.

“Every month, more than a hundred thousand artists, songwriters, and producers are forced to compete for their share of a limited pool of royalty payments from Spotify,” the filing says. “Success begets success… some take the Hustle too far—they resort to cheating.”

RBX accuses Spotify of turning “a blind eye” to the scheme because higher play totals help the company sell more ads and please investors.  Spotify, the suit alleges, has “an incentive for turning a blind eye to the blatant streaming fraud occurring on its service” since inflated numbers make its platform look larger and more profitable.

The lawsuit paints a detailed picture of how bots allegedly manipulated charts and royalties—programs that played the same songs for 23 hours a day, VPN networks that created the illusion of phantom listeners scattered across the globe, and bizarre data showing some users “traveled 15,000 kilometers in a month” between songs.

The complaint singles out Drake, whom it refers to as “the most streamed artist of all time.”  

RBX’s lawyers say data show “billions of fraudulent streams” tied to his catalog from 2022 to 2025. They claim that Spotify “knew or should have known” about the anomalies but “never properly addressed the millions—if not billions—of fraudulent and artificial music streams attributed to Drake’s music.”

Spotify publicly touts anti-fraud measures, yet RBX says those defenses are “nothing more than window dressing.”

His filing argues that, despite promising to crack down on bots, the company’s policies “failed, over at least the past four years, to prevent or detect billions of inauthentic streams.” Represented by Baron & Budd P.C. and Irpino Law Firm, RBX seeks to represent a nationwide class of recording artists, producers and songwriters dating back to 2018.  

The suit demands damages, restitution, and a court order forcing Spotify to disclose and repay affected rightsholders.

RBX argues the alleged fraud drained legitimate performers’ paychecks while rewarding a handful of inflated stars. Spotify has not yet filed a response.  

The lawsuit requests a jury trial in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California.

J. Prince Lists His Lavish $4.4 Million Texas Mansion With Bowling Alley & Theater

By: London Jennn Updated Category: News

J. Prince is parting ways with his sprawling French-style estate in Heath, Texas, after more than a year of price shifts and stalled offers.

The Rap-A-Lot Records founder has officially listed his 12,000-square-foot mansion for $4.4 million.

The property, located roughly 25 miles east of Dallas, sits on 5.4 acres and includes a separate 3,700-square-foot guest house, a bowling alley, a movie theater and a safe room.

“I love the space to roam,” Prince said through a family spokesperson. “The peace and more importantly the privacy it provides is my favorite thing about the property.”

J. Prince bought the home in 2019 and began trying to sell it in January 2023. Since then, the asking price has bounced between $4.3 million and $4.7 million before landing at its current number.

The estate features six bedrooms, including a primary suite and a ground-floor in-law suite with direct access to a resort-style pool and spa. A chef’s kitchen with black cabinetry, double ovens and a spacious island overlooks the backyard. The home also includes an elevator, a six-car garage and a backup generator.

Listing agent Phil Owens of The Agency Frisco told Chron.com. “I’ve sold a lot of homes in this price point over the last 18 years. This is by far the most unique one I’ve ever handled. The architecture, the scale, the land – it’s unlike anything else in North Texas.”

The guest house includes a full kitchen, bathroom and additional garage space. Outside, the grounds are lined with mature trees, walking trails and a fire pit area.

Before Prince owned it, the mansion belonged to Pilar Sanders, the former wife of NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders. “Around here, everyone still calls it Deion’s ex-wife’s house,” Owens said. “But really, it’s J. Prince’s house – and it’s become a bit of a legend in this community.”

‘This is why you have to be so careful’: Woman goes on girl’s trip to Tokyo. Then she gets stuck in Seoul for using her twin sister’s passport

By: Mars Ramos Updated Category: Newsbreak

A woman traveling to Tokyo on a girls’ trip inadvertently uses her twin sister’s passport on a layover in Seoul. Her travel agent explains what happened.

TikTok creator Kimyatta Travels (@travelboujee) helps folks on the international trips they need to go. In an Oct. 8 video, she explained that she recently planned a girls’ trip to Tokyo for a group of 10 women. Everything went according to the itinerary until only nine of the women made it onto a layover in Seoul.

Immediately, Kimyatta started to look into what happened to the woman, who is named Jasmine. The client told her that Jasmine was taken into custody because she used her identical twin sister’s passport to travel.

The text layover in the video is “One passport, two felonies,” most likely in reference to the passport used and the two twin sisters who, according to the travel companion, are in potential legal trouble. The video has 1129,100 views and over 14,500 likes.

Woman on Tokyo Girl’s Trip Stuck in Seoul

In an update video, Kimyatta revealed that she soon started making calls to figure out Jasmine’s whereabouts. Something about the story didn’t add up, because Kimyatta thoroughly screened each traveler.

“I’m like, ‘Nah, I crossed my T’s and dotted my I’s,'” she said. “I checked all these chicks out before they left the [United States]. I made them get on Zoom with me and show me their passports to make sure their passports were valid.”

After some digging, Kimyatta learned that Jasmine lives with her identical sister in the U.S. Both sisters keep their travel documents, including their passports, in the same pouch.

For the trip, Jasmine took the whole pouch with her. To get on the flight to Seoul, Jasmine showed her own passport. To get on the flight to Tokyo from Seoul, Jasmine mistakenly showed her sister’s passport. This is when airport officials pulled her aside to question her.

“She was not taken into custody, like put in hand cuffs or put in a jail cell,” Kimyatta clarified. But she was brought in for questioning to a room about why she had someone else’s passport.

Ultimately, Jasmine explained the mistake to the people interrogating her in Seoul and eventually boarded a flight to Tokyo. The only issue was that her sister’s passport did get confiscated by customs.

Viewers React to the Girls’ Trip Derailment

“She got off to me really, really, easy, I don’t know who was on her side. Maybe the lord himself,” Kimyatta says about Jasmine’s luck. In the comments, viewers emphatically agreed.

“She’s gotta be more careful; airports don’t play,” wrote one viewer.

“This sounds crazy, because I’m not taking multiple peoples passports or documents with me that I have to be responsible for,” said another person.

However, one kind viewer took pity on the woman. “Innocent mistake. Poor girl,” they wrote.

What Happens If You Use Someone Else’s Passport?

So let’s say you’re actually trying to pull one over on customs by using someone else’s passport, what happens? According to Eisner Gorin Law Associates, a conviction could land you in prison for up to 25 years. Another source, Phillip J. Murphy Law, says that you could be fined up to $250,000. 

All Hip Hop reached out to Kimyatta for comment via TikTok message and via email about Jasmine’s situation.

Megan Thee Stallion Says Klay Thompson Helped Her Embrace Her “Soft Girl Era”

By: London Jennn Updated Category: News

Megan Thee Stallion credited NBA star Klay Thompson with helping her embrace vulnerability and step into what she calls her “soft girl era” during a revealing interview on national television.

The Houston rapper sat down with Jennifer Hudson for a Halloween-themed episode of The Jennifer Hudson Show, where she opened up about how her relationship with the Dallas Mavericks guard has shifted her perspective on love and emotional openness.

“Right now, I’m in such a feminine era of my life,” Meg revealed. “I’m not saying I’m in a feminine era of my life because of a man. I’m saying, because I’ve been through so much, and I feel like I was always on the defense for a long time. And I [felt] like, Oh, my gosh, I got to fight for myself. I’m squaring up with everybody all the time.”

She added, “I am so sure of myself, and I’m so relaxed. I am very much a soft girl.”

After years of navigating public trauma, industry pressure and legal battles, Megan said Thompson has brought a new sense of calm into her life.

“I just feel like right now in life, I’m just a little bit more calm and relaxed and more zen and more accepting of love,” Megan added. “I’m receiving love way better than I ever have in life, which is probably why the man that I have now has came into my life, ’cause I was ready to have him. I’m still doing hot girl stuff. But I love him.”

The couple first confirmed their relationship in July 2025 at the Pete & Thomas Foundation Gala.

Since then, their romance has progressed quickly, especially after Thompson left the Golden State Warriors and relocated to Texas to join the Mavericks. Their connection has remained mostly private, but Megan’s recent comments suggest a deeper level of comfort and trust.

The shift in her personal life is already showing up in her music. Her latest track, “Lover Girl,” blends her trademark confidence with softer melodies and more emotionally open lyrics.

Megan Thee Stallion Hints At New Home With Klay Thompson

Speculation about the couple’s next steps intensified after Megan posted a series of Instagram photos on October 30, 2025.

The carousel included a set of house keys, cozy snapshots with Thompson and her dog Foe, and a backdrop that read “new home.” The post sparked widespread chatter that the two may have moved in together.

Although neither has confirmed the move, the images and Megan’s openness about their bond have led many to believe the couple is building a life together in Texas.

Nelly Celebrates 51st Birthday With Ashanti’s Star-Studded Surprise Bash

Nelly rang in his 51st birthday with a lavish private dinner thrown by his wife, Ashanti, who transformed Atlanta’s Lo Kee restaurant into a cozy celebration filled with Hip-Hop royalty and family.

The intimate gathering on Saturday (November 1) brought together 50 handpicked guests, including Bow Wow and Jermaine Dupri, at the upscale Asian fusion spot, Page Six reports.

Ashanti reserved a private room for the night and curated a menu featuring Beijing chicken, rock shrimp tempura, chicken satay and salt and pepper prawns.

The couple arrived around 10:30 P.M. and stayed until 1:30 A.M., capping off the night with a World Series watch party as the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 7.

Before the game, Ashanti serenaded her husband with “Happy Birthday,” adding a personal touch to the evening.

The couple were captured later dressed in Halloween costumes for a second celebration.

The celebration marked another chapter in their rekindled relationship. Nelly and Ashanti quietly married in December 2023 in St. Louis, his hometown, after reconnecting earlier that year.

Their romance originally began in 2003 but ended in 2013, only to be reignited in April 2023 when they were spotted holding hands in Las Vegas.

Their renewed bond deepened when they welcomed their first child together, Kareem Kenkaide Hayes, in July 2024.

Kareem joined Nelly’s two adult children, Chanelle, 31, and Cornell Haynes III, 26, from a previous relationship with Channetta Valentine.

Nelly recently returned the love on Ashanti’s birthday with a touching Instagram post: “Happy Birthday to the most beautiful and amazing woman in this world.. Marrying you wasn’t just finding love — it was finding home. Love you mama.”

Rick Ross Stuns MAGA Crowd With Halloween Performance In DC

Rick Ross brought Hip-Hop swagger to a Halloween party packed with conservative elites in Washington, DC, performing at the Cruel Kids Halloween event inside Saint Yves nightclub on Saturday night (November 1).

The Miami rapper, known for hits like “Hustlin'” and “B.M.F.,” took the stage in front of more than 600 attendees, many of whom openly support former President Donald Trump—despite Ross’s own history of criticizing him.

The event, organized by CJ Pearson, a former co-chair of the Republican National Committee’s youth advisory board, drew a crowd that stretched from early 20-somethings to mid-40s.

“We’re not just Making America Great Again. We’re making the Republican Party COOL again,” Pearson posted on social media after the event.

While the crowd leaned red, the vibe was anything but buttoned-up. According to Daily Mail, Will Scharf, 39, who serves as White House Staff Secretary, was seen in a neon construction vest labeled “Ballroom Construction Team,” dancing through VIP sections and accidentally toppling a table of drinks.

Costumes played with political satire. Attendees dressed as ICE agents, government shutdowns and even House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries—a look Pearson himself wore. Designer Andre Soriano showed up with a cardboard cutout of Trump and a bag of rice, calling his outfit “SNAP and EBT.”

The party leaned into Trump nostalgia, serving McDonald’s burgers and fries in a nod to the former president’s fast-food preferences. Attendees also received red “Cruel Kids Halloween” hats styled after MAGA caps.

Rick Ross Criticizes Donald Trump

Ross’s performance raised eyebrows, given his previous public remarks about Trump.

In 2017, he rapped, “I’m happy that Donald Trump became the president because we have to destroy it to elevate.” In 2024, he dismissed the idea that Trump’s presidency was good for people’s wallets, calling that belief “delusional.”

“We will start over after this,” Ross said in an interview that same year. “I think that particular line, a lot of young brothers who haven’t really put a finger on how they feel about our new president, I think they needed to hear that line to get some form of understanding.”

‘I’m willing to bet it’s someone who owns a restaurant near you’: Nevada woman runs a brew pub. Then a mystery customer costs her ‘thousands’ of dollars

By: Kahron Spearman Updated Category: Newsbreak

A Nevada brew pub owner is asking for help identifying a mystery customer that vandalized her business and cost her thousands of dollars in repairs and lost business.

TikTok user Lauren Taylor (@nevadabrewworksboca), the owner at Nevada Brew Works, posted a video about the deliberate act of sabotage in a video posted on Oct. 22. She says the brazen act, which shut down the pub during “Monday Night Football,” was caught on camera, cost the two-week-old restaurant thousands in lost revenue, and resulted in dozens of customer refunds.

Surveillance footage captured a tattooed man turning off the gas supply from outside. This behavior fits a troubling pattern of business vandalism plaguing Las Vegas establishments. The incident is particularly troubling in a time when Las Vegas, as a tourism city, is facing a significant downturn.

With the perpetrator’s face clearly visible on camera, Taylor’s family-owned business is hoping someone can identify him before he strikes again.

“Somebody cost our restaurant thousands of dollars on Monday,” Taylor said, as she held her sleeping baby. “We just opened our restaurant on October 6th. This past Monday, during ‘Monday Night Football,’ during the dinner rush, we get a call while we’re out for our anniversary dinner that the gas is not working at the restaurant.”

A Mystery Customer Costs Nevada Brew Pub

She said her husband, Jason, went over to the restaurant to figure out the issue. “Mind you, we informed all the customers that we can’t give them their dinner,” she continues. “We refunded their tickets.”

Despite the refunds, Taylor worries this sequence of events made a bad impression. “Possibly, many of those people won’t return because of their experience,” she says. “Also, how many one-star reviews are we gonna get on Yelp because of this, further encouraging people not to come to our establishment?”

Her husband got the gas turned back on and then pulled the camera footage. It shows a man with tattoos getting out of his car and turning off the gas. It’s pretty blatant. It appears to be relatively unconcerned and unbothered by being caught.

“So please, if anybody knows who this guy is, please write in the comments,” she asks. “We’re filing a police report. We’re gonna contact the gas company to see if they know who it is.”

Viewers Speculate About Mystery Customer’s Motives

The comments were ablaze with thoughts from armchair investigators. 

“This is insane! I am willing to bet it’s someone who owns a restaurant near you,” said one woman. 

One person asked a snarky question, but in reality, it was not as straightforward as it seemed. “Your employees couldn’t simply have checked if the gas was on?” they asked. “You need a new manager.” 

However, Taylor replied that, “We would have liked them to check the main, yes. My husband got in trouble with gas company for turning the gas back on. Apparently, it’s very dangerous to do that and should only be done by the gas company.”

“Who wakes up one day and says, ‘Yeah, I’m gonna go turn their gas off,'” asked one commenter. 

Las Vegas Grapples With Increased Vandalism

Unfortunately, this action is part of a growing issue in Las Vegas. The problem is so severe that the City of Las Vegas issued a $250,000 security grant to downtown businesses due to the increase in vandalism and break-ins. De Thai Kitchen, Dig It! Coffee Co., and Tacotarian have all reported being targeted over the last year. The city is offering up to $5,000 per business for security upgrades.

However, an even more significant issue is Las Vegas’ broader downturn. A Fox Business report from October details how the Nevada tourism sector is responding to an 11.3% year-over-year decrease in visitor traffic.

And it is not just Las Vegas. Florida and Hawaii are also reporting significant drops in visitors. Fewer international travelers are entering the United States, and, unfortunately, this trend is likely to continue.

All Hip Hop reached out to Taylor for additional information.

This person cost us thousands of dollars in lost revenue and we need to prevent him from targeting us our another establishment in the future!! Please comment and share!!

Cardi B Steals The Show Cheering For Stefon Diggs In Patriots Owner’s Suite

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

Cardi B brought her signature energy to Gillette Stadium on Sunday (November 2), where she cheered on boyfriend Stefon Diggs from the private suite of New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft during the team’s narrow 24-23 win over the Atlanta Falcons.

The Grammy-winning Cardi B, who is expecting her first child with the Patriots wide receiver, didn’t hold back when Diggs scored in the second quarter. She jumped up, mimicked his touchdown celebration and lit up the luxury box with her reaction.

After the final whistle, Diggs walked over and affectionately rubbed her baby bump in front of the crowd.

The moment capped a high-profile day for the couple, who have been making headlines since going public with their relationship in June. They announced their pregnancy in September, and the rapper recently opened up about the relationship during an interview on CBS.

“I feel like I’m in a good space,” she said on CBS Mornings, adding, “I feel very strong. I feel very powerful that I’m doing all this work. But I’m doing all this work while I’m creating a baby, me and my man, we’re very supportive of each other. We like in the same space in our careers. You know what it is that I feel like we’re really great, we’re really the best at what we do.”

Diggs, 31, is in his first season with the Patriots after signing a three-year, $63.5 million deal in free agency. He was originally traded from the Buffalo Bills to the Houston Texans in April, but his time in Houston was cut short after he tore his ACL in Week 8.

Cardi B Invited To Join Patriots Inner Circle

Before Cardi even arrived at the game, members of the Patriots’ inner circle were already rolling out the welcome mat.

Victoria Gibson, wife of running back Antonio Gibson, and Jayda Kamryn Hawkins, part of the team’s WAG (wives and girlfriends) community, shared a warm video invitation encouraging Cardi to join their tailgate.

“Hey Cardi, it’s two of your future favorite WAGs… A lot of people are looking forward to meeting you,” they said in the clip.

Floyd Mayweather Goes Viral With Emotional Israel Award Speech: “Any Time Its War, I’m On Your Side”

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Category: News
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

Floyd Mayweather stepped into a different kind of ring Saturday night, accepting the World Champion for Israel Award from the Republican Jewish Coalition at their Annual Leadership Summit in Las Vegas.

The undefeated boxing legend was recognized for his “big heart” and “generous support for the people of Israel during the war in Gaza.”

“I’m not with you guys 10%, 50%. I will always be the voice for the people in Israel. I will always stand behind the country of Israel, the one and only Floyd Money Mayweather in Israel. I will always be here for you guys when you guys don’t have a voice,” Floyd Mayweather said during his speech.

The 48-year-old champion has made multiple visits to Israel since the October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorist attacks that killed approximately 1,200 people and resulted in more than 250 kidnappings.

During these trips, Floyd Mayweather has provided support to United Hatzalah, wounded IDF soldiers and Israeli children orphaned by the war.

The boxing icon has been vocal about his commitment and he seemed to be aware he would be facing some backlash after accepting his award from the Republican Jewish Coalition.

“I’m going to stand strong, and no matter what I go through, no matter how much backlash I get, I live my life for me,” Floyd Mayweather said. “Any time its any war, I’m on your side, count me in.”

The Republican Jewish Coalition praised Mayweather’s efforts in their announcement, noting he has “given his time, energy and resources to help Israelis in their greatest time of need.”

The organization emphasized that “Mayweather’s support has immeasurably helped United Hatzalah, wounded IDF soldiers and Israeli children orphaned by the war.”

During his visits to Israel, Mayweather met with Israeli soldiers at Tel Aviv’s Hilton Beach, offering encouragement and taking photos with them. “These are young fighters,” he said. “I was a young fighter. I know how it is.”

The RJC also recognized Mayweather for speaking out against antisemitism and anti-Israel sentiment in the United States.

“He has spoken out against antisemitism and anti-Israel hate here at home as well. He is a champion for Israel and the Jewish people,” the coalition stated.

Mayweather told Israel Hayom earlier this year, “I don’t remember anymore how many times I’ve been in Israel, but it’s probably a lot. It’s a beautiful place, with wonderful people. I’ve always had Israeli friends, and I will continue coming here until my dying day.”

The Las Vegas summit featured prominent conservative voices, including House Speaker Mike Johnson, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Senator Lindsey Graham and Arkansas Governor Sarah Sanders. Israeli Ambassador Danny Danon also participated in the event.

Mayweather, who retired with a perfect 50-0 record, has also been politically outspoken, previously expressing strong support for President Donald Trump, calling him “a great president” and “a great businessman.”

As he predicted, the boxer was met with intense criticism on social media.

“I can only imagine the kind of debt Floyd mayweather got to be in to be doing this s###,” one user said, while another wrote: “Netanyahu don’t give a damn about your black a$$ Floyd Mayweather. So sick and tired of some of these conforming black celebrities like him.”

Lil Wayne, Verzuz & Persistent Rumors

By: Houston Williams Updated Category: Rumors

Lil Wayne and B.G. are pretty good, but we are trying to get to the truth. And when that’s the case, things may not be as good as it appears to be. Everyone’s STILL talking about the Verzuz that was supposed to bring Cash Money and No Limit together for a night of nostalgia. But there was one major thing missing—Lil Wayne.

EXCLUSIVE: Turk Sued For $12M, Accused Of Wrecking Cash Money Tour

B.G. broke down, saying that Wayne’s absence was a sickness. Mr. Bling Bling even claimed Wayne was hospitalized. That’s serious business. We were even worried for a second. But the streets and blogs are whispering.

The talk is that Wayne was supposed to be there, but we knew that. What we didn’t know was that he had his own separate deal lined up with Apple and Verzuz. Apparently (and allegedly), the deal was structured so that his money went straight to him and not through Cash Money. If true, that’s a smart move. They have too much “financial history” to play any games. But it doesn’t end there.

According to Akademiks, Wayne wasn’t sick at all. The controversial “DJ” claimed that Wayne simply didn’t want to be around “a bunch of old people.” Supposedly, he wasn’t feeling the idea of standing shoulder-to-shoulder with artists who’d been hot in the late ‘90s and early 2000s. AK suggested that Wayne didn’t want to be labeled as a “legacy act,” even though…he is. Wayne’s first album came out a SMOOTH 26 years ago.

Wayne’s still one of the most active rappers alive. He tours, drops verses and keeps popping up on features with the next generation. These days, I’m most impressed by Juvie, but that’s another story. Wayne’s 42 years old and he’s got three generations of Hip-Hop in him. I think he’s earned the “OG” tag, but maybe he’d rather fight Father Time.

He might’ve walked away from a serious payday to keep his career “on brand.” I’m not sure what to believe…they both sound good. By the way, Wayne hasn’t said a word.

Mass Shooting Erupts During Teen Birthday Party At Illegal Airbnb Rental

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Category: AHHplus
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

Nine people were rushed to hospitals after gunfire erupted at a teenage birthday party inside an illegal Airbnb rental in Bath Township, Ohio, turning what was supposed to be a celebration into a nightmare of chaos and bloodshed.

Akron law enforcement and fire crews responded to multiple 911 calls just after midnight Sunday (November 2) reporting shots fired at a residence in the 900 block of Top Of The Hill Drive. The massive party, filled mostly with juveniles, had been promoted on social media and drew a crowd that quickly spiraled out of control at the “very large home.”

By the time officers arrived, most partygoers had fled the scene. First responders found victims suffering from gunshot wounds and other injuries scattered across the first floor of the house, with shell casings littering the crime scene as officers worked to secure the property.

“Officers responded at around midnight to reports of gunfire at a residence,” Bath Township Police confirmed in their investigation update.

The shooting has left the Bath Township community reeling, with authorities revealing that Airbnb rentals are actually banned in the town. The homeowner now faces serious questions about how the illegal party was allowed to happen on their property.

Police are actively seeking suspects in connection with the mass shooting and continue their investigation into the circumstances that led to the violence at what should have been a simple birthday celebration.

All nine victims were transported to area hospitals for treatment of their injuries, though the extent of their conditions has not been released by authorities.

Mayor Shammas Malik has pledged full city support for the ongoing investigation.

“Those who perpetrate violence anywhere in our community must be held accountable for their action,” he said in a social media post. “This kind of deadly behavior cannot be normalized. In addition, the reports of so many young people at a rented house party are very concerning.

“As we learn more about the situation that occurred last night, it appears to be part of a broader issue – helping make sure youth across our community are safe.”

Airbnb released a statement stressing its prohibition of “unauthorized and disruptive gatherings,” noting the property was delisted and the renter’s account removed. The company pointed to a 50 percent reduction in party-related reports since its global party ban began in 2020.

“We are heartbroken by this senseless act of gun violence, and our thoughts are with the injured victims and all those affected by it,” Airbnb said, emphasizing its cooperation with authorities.

Sinopoli also pointed to a 2017 shooting linked to an Airbnb rental in town, when a victim suffered a leg wound.

“It’s pretty much an indicator that no community is immune from violence, and this happened to be in Bath Township again, unfortunately,” he said.

After speaking with the property owner, Sinopoli referenced the local stance against short-term rentals, clarifying that while home rentals violate zoning laws, they are not criminal offenses.

Former rapper Zohran Mamdani found himself at the center of social media attention after footage emerged showing the Democratic mayoral frontrunner dancing to Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” inside a New York City nightclub.

The video, which surfaced on X and Instagram on November 2, shows the 34-year-old Assembly member moving to the beat while surrounded by club-goers. The clip quickly gained traction across social platforms, with users praising the politician for his connection to Hip-Hop and his embrace of the city’s nightlife scene.

The timing proves particularly notable as Zohran Mamdani leads polls just days before the mayoral election, having emerged from relative obscurity to become the Democratic nominee.

Mamdani’s rise represents a remarkable political journey.

Born in Kampala, Uganda, he moved to New York City at age 7 and has served in the State Assembly since 2021, representing District 36.

His campaign centers on affordability and working-class issues, appealing strongly to younger voters who see him as a fresh alternative to traditional political figures.

Recent polling shows Mamdani ahead of independent candidate Andrew Cuomo, despite facing criticism over his positions on various issues.

The 34-year-old’s immigrant background and progressive principles have resonated with many New Yorkers, though his candidacy has also generated controversy in some communities.

Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” released in 2024, became a defining anthem in Hip-Hop circles after it’s vicious takedown of rap superstar Drake.

For Mamdani, whose campaign emphasizes community engagement and youth inclusion, the viral moment aligns with his image as a progressive voice rooted in New York’s creative landscape.

The historic Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, Colorado held its annual Halloween bash on Friday (October 31), this time with Denzel Curry, Freddie Gibbs and the Alchemist, 2DeadBoyz (Flatbush Zombies’ Zombie Juice and Meechy Darko) and Earl Sweatshirt.

Several people showed up in costume for the sold-out event, including some of the performers. To start off their set, Gibbs and Alchemist channeled Pulp Fiction and came dressed as John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson’s characters from the 1994 Quentin Tarantino film.

After performing several songs from Alfredo 2 and other collaborative/solo works, Gibbs ran off stage for a quick costume change and returned as Frozone from The Incredibles franchise (voiced by Jackson), finally embracing the seemingly endless memes comparing him to the animated character.

Gibbs’ enthusiasm over the Halloween holiday echoed throughout the crowd, with Freddy Kruger, Elmo, Cookie Monster, Michael Myers, vampires and ghosts among the many cheering them on.

Gibbs shared several Instagram photos of himself dressed as Frozone, one with a caption that read, “U could never,” presumably a nod to the 9,525 tickets that were sold to the concert. Every time an artist sells out the venue, they get a plaque to commemorate the occasion.

Backstage, Curry chopped it up with Meechy Darko and Zombie Juice, who’d just finished their set. During Gibbs and Alchemist’s performance, everyone flooded the side of the stage to watch, including Curry, Earl Sweatshirt, Meecy and Zombie Juice.

It marked one of the last shows on Gibbs’ and Alchemist’s Alfredo Tour, which continues November 7 in Portland, Oregon and wraps up in San Francisco on November 10.

Gibbs and The Alchemist have forged one of rap’s most acclaimed partnerships, celebrated for merging streetwise lyricism with soulful, atmospheric production. Their collaboration officially began with 2018’s Fetti (alongside Curren$y), but truly crystallized with 2020’s Grammy-nominated Alfredo  a project that showcased the seamless interplay between Gibbs’s reflective storytelling and Alchemist’s gritty, textured beats.

The duo share an artistic mutual respect and a commitment to creative independence, allowing them to continually push boundaries while resisting industry trends. Alfredo 2 demonstrates their enduring ambition, underscoring a partnership built on loyalty and the pursuit of lasting artistic legacy.

Meanwhile, Alchemist is staying busy with multiple projects, including the long awaited Erykah Badu collaboration, Abi and Al. The duo teased a sample of the project in June with the release of “Next To You,” which repurposes Alchemist’s 1999 beat for Mobb Deep’s “The Realest” featuring Kool G Rap.

Alchemist commented at the time, “For my brother Prodigy. Hope i’m making u proud Science!!!” The album was originally supposed to arrive over the summer but was delayed. A new release date has not been confirmed.

EXCLUSIVE: Tory Lanez Must Sit For Another Megan Thee Stallion Deposition

By: Grouchy Greg Watkins (@GrouchyGreg) Updated Category: Exclusives

Tory Lanez must return for another court-supervised deposition in the ongoing defamation lawsuit filed by Megan Thee Stallion after a judge rejected his attempt to avoid further testimony over his alleged role in a smear campaign.

Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Lisette Reid ruled Lanez’s motion to block the deposition came too late and lacked legal merit. Lanez, whose real name is Daystar Peterson, was served with a subpoena in March 2025 but failed to object before his first deposition in April.

His lawyers argued that testifying again could damage his criminal appeal, but the judge dismissed that claim as too vague.

Reid clarified that the deposition focuses on Lanez’s communications with social media commentator Milagro Cooper, known online as Milagro Gramz, not his criminal conviction for shooting Megan in 2020.

“The Fifth Amendment doesn’t allow a witness to skip a deposition entirely,” Reid wrote. “He can only refuse to answer specific questions that might incriminate him and the judge will decide those issues as they come up.”

Tory Lanez must now sit for a third deposition under court supervision. He will be questioned only about topics relevant to the civil case and may invoke his constitutional rights on a question-by-question basis.

The court also signaled it may impose penalties or legal fees against Lanez for his earlier refusal to cooperate. That decision will come after the subsequent deposition. The legal drama stems from Megan Thee Stallion’s October 2024 lawsuit against Gramz, accusing her of defamation and harassment.

The suit alleges Milagro Gramz spread false claims that Megan Thee Stallion lied under oath, suffered from alcoholism and mental illness, and distributed deepfake pornographic content.

Megan’s attorneys claim Gramz worked closely with Tory Lanez’s father, Sonstar Peterson, who allegedly paid her thousands of dollars to post misleading content about Megan. They say this was part of a coordinated effort to discredit the Grammy-winning rapper after Lanez’s conviction.

The court sanctioned Milagro Gramz earlier this year for deleting hundreds of text messages with Peterson that were required during the discovery process. Those missing messages raised concerns about obstruction and led to increased scrutiny of her ties to Lanez.

Tory Lanez was first deposed on April 9, 2025, via Zoom from prison. That session quickly unraveled. According to court filings, Tory Lanez mocked Megan’s legal team, challenged their authority, pretended not to understand basic legal terms and made misogynistic remarks.

The deposition was cut short due to his behavior. The judge later ordered Lanez to pay Megan’s legal fees from that session and scheduled a supervised follow-up.

Tory Lanez’s conduct during the deposition prompted the court to require judicial oversight for any future testimony. He is now only allowed to plead the Fifth with a judge present to rule on each objection.

Jhené Aiko & Big Sean Reportedly End Relationship After 10-Year Love Affair

Jhené Aiko and Big Sean, one of rap’s favorite couples for the longest, have officially parted ways. This is like a decade of love, music and family down the drain.

The split reportedly didn’t happen overnight. Sources say Aiko made the difficult decision after “multiple ultimatums” and ongoing disagreements about marriage. Big Sean got the dad bod…what happened?

“She wanted marriage — she wanted the commitment,” one source said. “Sean loves her deeply, but he just never wanted to take that final step.”

The couple share a 3-year-old son and have been “together” on and off since the mid-2010s. That’s been a minute. Their relationship was unique and they even have an album they gave birth to. Twenty88 was a game changing opus.

Friends say Aiko’s patience eventually ran out. “Eventually, she realized that ring wasn’t coming,” the insider said. “She decided it was time to move on.”

There’s no drama between the two, according to the chatter. “They’re in a great place — it’s peaceful. They both respect each other too much to let things get messy. They just want to do what’s best for their child,” the source said.

All of this took a couple days to break on social media.

Fans have noticed both artists focusing on solo music in recent months. Aiko has been spotted in the studio and Big Sean is reportedly preparing his next album. This does not feel like they are getting back. I thought they were headed for marriage after the baby, but I was wrong. That being said, time will tell.

Donald Trump Calls Seth Meyers “Deranged Lunatic” Over Late-Night Catapult Jokes

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Category: News

Donald Trump exploded on late-night television host Seth Meyers Saturday (November 1), branding him a “deranged lunatic” and suggesting his anti-Trump comedy might be “illegal.”

Trump’s fury erupted on Truth Social after Meyers mocked Trump’s obsession with aircraft carrier catapults during Thursday’s (October 30) episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers. The comedian had played clips of Trump’s recent speech to military members aboard the USS George Washington in Japan, where the president complained about electromagnetic catapults versus steam-powered ones.

“Seth Meyers of NBC may be the least talented person to ‘perform’ in the history of television. In fact, he may be the WORST to perform, live or otherwise,” Trump wrote in his Truth Social rant.

Trump continued his attack, claiming he watched Meyers’ show “for the first time in years” and was appalled by the comedian’s extended segment about catapults. “In it, he talked endlessly about electric catapults on aircraft carriers which I complain about as not being as good as much less expensive steam catapults.”

“On and on he went, a truly deranged lunatic,” Trump added, before questioning why NBC continues to employ Meyers.

Trump’s most controversial claim came when he suggested Meyers’ criticism crossed legal boundaries: “NO TALENT, NO RATINGS” and is “100 [percent] ANTI-TRUMP, WHICH IS PROBABLY ILLEGAL.”

Meyers had joked that Trump “spends more time thinking about catapults than Wile E Coyote” and performed an impression of the president complaining about military modernization. The comedian also mocked Trump’s broader Asia trip, saying it gave him “the royal treatment he so desperately craves.”

This marks the latest escalation in Trump’s war against late-night television. In September, he declared Meyers would be the “next” host to face cancelation following Jimmy Kimmel’s brief suspension. “That leaves Jimmy and Seth, two total losers, on Fake News NBC,” Trump had written.

The attacks apparently rattled Meyers, with industry insiders reporting the host “has been freaking out” over Trump’s threats. Television experts have suggested Meyers could indeed be next to go as networks shift away from politically charged content.

But Meyers hasn’t backed down, accusing the Trump administration of “pursuing a crackdown on free speech” and offering mock praise for the president during Kimmel’s suspension crisis. “I just want to say, before we get started here, that I’ve always admired and respected Mr Trump,” Meyers joked to audience laughter.

The comedian maintained his defiant stance: “It is a privilege and an honor to call Jimmy Kimmel my friend, in the same way that it’s a privilege and honor to do this show every night. I wake up every day, I count my blessings that I live in a country that at least purports to value freedom of speech, and we’re gonna keep doing our show the way we’ve always done it: with enthusiasm and integrity.”

Trump has long complained about the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) on Ford-class carriers, preferring the older steam-driven catapults. During his USS George Washington speech, he asked military members which system they preferred, prompting shouts of “Steam” from the audience.

“They’re spending billions of dollars to build stupid electric,” Trump told the troops. “And the problem, when it breaks, you have to send up to MIT, get the most brilliant people in the world, fly them out, it’s ridiculous. The steam they said they could fix with a hammer and a blowtorch and it works just as well if not better.”

CM Punk Dominated WWE Main Event & Partied With Post Malone

By: Mike Winslow Updated Category: News

CM Punk walked out with the WWE World Heavyweight title and Post Malone‘s cowboy hat Saturday night at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City after stomping out Jey Uso and soaking up the spotlight with a wild backstage link-up.

Punk didn’t have an easy ride—Uso kicked out of the GTS like a savage—but the Chicago vet still sealed the deal and scooped up the title Seth Rollins had to drop thanks to a busted shoulder. Rollins is out for six months after tweaking it in a match with Cody Rhodes, which cracked the door wide open for Punk’s return to the top.

Once the cameras stopped rolling, WWE dropped some behind-the-scenes footage showing Punk chopping it up with Posty at ringside, then dapping up Cody Rhodes in the gorilla position.

And the moment with Post Malone? Funny as hell. Punk snagged the rapper’s signature hat like a trophy, flipping the vibe to bromance real quick. That link-up meant more than a goofy hat swap too.

Earlier this year, Rollins clowned Post Malone during the Clash in Paris pay-per-view, and Post fired back by throwing down a WrestleMania 42 challenge.

So this little Punk-Post moment lowkey fanned the flames again.

Saturday night was stacked with shakeups. Jade Cargill snatched the Women’s Championship from Tiffany Stratton, and both Rhodes and Dominik Mysterio held on to their belts.

But Punk’s dub was the one that had people buzzing.

This win marks a big bounce-back for Punk, who’s been grinding to reclaim his spot since rejoining WWE. And judging by how he handled Uso, dude’s still got it.

Nicki Minaj Slammed by Nigerians After Backing Trump’s Nigeria Religious Freedom Remarks

By: Mike Winslow Updated Category: News

Nicki Minaj ignited a digital storm across Nigerian social media after reposting a statement from former President Donald Trump that labeled Nigeria a “Country of Particular Concern” over alleged religious freedom violations.

The Hip-Hop icon shared Trump’s claim that “Christianity is facing an existential threat in Nigeria” and that “Radical Islamists are responsible for this mass slaughter.”

Alongside the repost, Minaj added her own thoughts, writing on X,  “Reading this made me feel a deep sense of gratitude. We live in a country where we can freely worship God. No group should ever be persecuted for practising their religion. We don’t have to share the same beliefs in order for us to respect each other.”

That post quickly drew sharp responses from Nigerians who accused the rapper of amplifying a distorted narrative about the country’s internal strife.

Critics pointed out that the violence in Nigeria is more complex than religious persecution, often rooted in land disputes, terrorism and organized crime.

“Suddenly there’s a campaign about something that happened in Nigeria, and they want to blame Muslims. The funny thing is, Nicki Minaj suddenly cares about Christianity but stays silent about what’s happening to Christians in Gaza. So that seems to be orchestrated by someone,” one user said.

Another user urged Minaj to stay out of Nigerian political discourse.

“Nicki Minaj is misinformed, Nigeria has a population of around 240m, about half are Christians, that is over 100m Christians, Nigeria has huge mega churches with 100,000 seater auditoriums. There is no Christian genocide, there is a security issue which is affecting everybody,” \@‌minzdyna said.

Another critic, @kawugarba , outright rejected Trump’s claims.

“There is no ethnic or religious group that is being persecuted in Nigeria. What we have are Boko Haram terrorists, and they don’t discriminate; in fact, they attack and kill more Muslims while praying at mosques than any other faith in the country.”

Trump’s full statement included the claim that “Thousands of Christians are being killed” in Nigeria and added, “When Christians, or any such group, is slaughtered like is happening in Nigeria (3,100 versus 4,476 Worldwide), something must be done! The United States cannot stand by while such atrocities are happening in Nigeria, and numerous other Countries.”

While she faced some backlash, many people supported her stance and her backing of President Trump.

Diddy Daps Up Fellow Inmates In More Leaked Prison Photos

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Category: News

Diddy appears to be trying to adapt to prison life as new photos from Fort Dix show the rap mogul laughing and socializing with fellow inmates in the prison yard.

The exclusive images obtained by TMZ reveal Diddy bundled up in a thick dark blue coat, gray pants and gray beanie while chatting with other prisoners on Saturday. The 55-year-old music executive displays the biggest smile on his face as he mingles with inmates, showing no signs of tension or distress.

“Diddy’s bundled up in a thick dark blue coat, gray pants and gray beanie … shootin’ the you-know-what with the other guys,” TMZ reported about the photos.

At one point in the images, Diddy appears to be shaking hands with someone, possibly making new connections within the facility. The photos mark a stark contrast to his first prison image released earlier this week, where he appeared more solemn wearing a bright orange beanie.

Diddy was assigned to Fort Dix earlier this week after being convicted on two counts of violating the Mann Act. The low-security prison in New Jersey was his preferred choice, representing a major win for the mogul who specifically requested placement there.

Diddy is currently serving a 50-month sentence following his conviction on charges related to transportation to engage in prostitution. He has already been assigned his first prison job working laundry duty at the facility.

These yard photos provide a glimpse into Diddy’s daily routine, showing him taking advantage of recreational time after his work shifts. The images also reveal his graying beard, marking the first clear look at the rapper in more than a year since cameras weren’t allowed during his federal trial.

Mark Geragos, Diddy’s attorney, previously expressed concerns about potential violence against his client on the “2 Angry Men” podcast, but these photos suggest the mogul is managing well in his new environment.

The Fort Dix facility allows inmates outdoor recreation time, which appears to be serving as a welcome break from Diddy’s laundry duties. Fellow inmates seem comfortable approaching and conversing with the high-profile prisoner, indicating he may be integrating successfully into the prison community.

Diddy has filed a notice of appeal regarding his criminal conviction and sentence, with his legal team projecting a potential early release. His attorney Marc Agnifilo remains optimistic about reducing the mogul’s time behind bars.
