Chance the Rapper had an eventful seven days last week.
First, he was called out by Dionne Warwick over his popular moniker, and his former manager attacked him for not paying commissions on a tour and his debut album The Big Day.
Chance dealt with Dionne Warwick with kid gloves over the weekend, but he had some sharp words for his ex-manager, Pat Corcoran, who filed a $3 million lawsuit against the Chicago rapper.
Corcoran contends Chance gave him the boot in April, asserting he was responsible for the lackluster sales of The Big Day, which opened at #2 when it dropped in July of 2019.
According to the complaint, Chance hyped up the album before it was even finished, and neglected to follow his ex-manager’s advice, leading to “a freestyle-driven product of subpar quality” and a botched tour which never commenced, due to “historically low” ticket sales.
According to Corcoran, he had an oral agreement with Chance, who guaranteed him 15% of the rapper’s profits, or roughly $2.5 million.
Corcoran was suddenly fired after seven years of service, and replaced with Chance’s father Ken and his rapping brother Taylor.
A representative for Chance released a statement denouncing Corcoran and dubbed his lawsuit nothing but a cry for attention.
“Mr. Corcoran has been paid all of the commissions to which he is legally entitled,” a rep for Chance The Rapper said in a statement. “Most of the complaint consists of self-serving and fabricated allegations that are wholly unrelated to Mr. Corcoran’s claim for commissions and were plainly included in a calculated attempt to seek attention.”
Chance’s reps said the lawsuit was without merit, “grossly offensive,” and they promised to aggressively defend the rapper in court.
Kurtis Blow, one of Hip-Hop’s first superstars, successfully received a heart transplant Sunday in Los Angeles.
The rumblings of the surgery quickly spread throughout the OG’s of the culture, who yesterday offered their prayers and expressed concerns across internet platforms. This is not the first time the rapper-turned-preacher has had issues with his heart. In 2019, he had several surgeries repairing arteries to his heart.
Another legend, Grandmixer DXT confirmed that the rapper had the surgery and also that it was successful.
Kurtis Blow is a legend for a number of reasons. He was once regarded as the “King of Rap,” as he first rapper signed to a major label. He was scooped up by Mercury Records in 1979 and, that year released the hit “Christmas Rappin’.” The song would go on to sell over 400,000. “The Breaks,” “America,” “8 Million Stories,” “AJ Scratch” and “Basketball” were other hit songs by KB. He would go on to record 10 albums. His impact is undeniable and has permeated through the culture for decades.
He also helped launch the careers of Run DMC and the Fat Boys. Run of Run DMC began his stellar career as a young DJ known as “The Son of Kurtis Blow.” Kurtis Blow, along with Run DMC, Sheila E., the Fat Boys, Blair Underwood, and others, starred in the hit movie “Krush Groove,” which was loosely based on Russell Simmons’ life.
Kurtis Blow – King of Rap
Most recently, Mr. Blow had been promoting the “Hip-Hop Nutcracker,” a holiday musical that has been a hit all over the nation. In the play, the 61-year old also performed some of his hit records.
The AllHipHop Family wishes a speedy recovery to Kurtis Blow.
The next Verzuz showcase is set. R&B stars Ashanti and Keyshia Cole will run through their respective catalogs on December 12. While fans prepare to hear hits such as Ashanti’s “Foolish” and Cole’s “Let It Go,” people are still offering other imaginable dream matchups.
Yeah, it’s official! The paperwork is IN 🚨🚨 It’s a legendary Ladies Night on Saturday, December 12th with @Ashanti and @KeyshiaCole.
Which Libra you got?!
Saturday, December 12th, 5PM PT / 8PM ET. Watch on our IG or in HD on @AppleMusic.
For example, Joe Budden and the rest of his podcast crew recently had a discussion about Verzuz and who they would like to see take part in the music series in the future. The names of Harlem-bred frenemies Ma$e of Bad Boy/Harlem World and Cam’ron of Roc-A-Fella/Dipset were mentioned on the “Rubber Ball Paul” episode of The Joe Budden Podcast.
Budden then spoke to Verzuz co-curator Swizz Beatz on the phone about a possible Ma$e vs Cam faceoff. Beatz told the podcasters, “Guess what? I’ll let y’all work on that. How bout that?” The 42-year-old record producer added, “We were working on a Dipset one… But I like Cam and Ma$e.”
Ma$e and Cam’ron first rose through the Hip Hop ranks together in the 1990s after starting off as friends from the same area of New York City. They later had a falling out. Ma$e retired from rapping in 1999 to become a preacher and then returned to music in 2004. Cam openly dissed his former Children of the Corn groupmate for years.
Ma$e finally blatantly told his side of the story on “The Oracle” diss track in November 2017. Cam responded that following day with “Dinner Time” which led to more bickering between the two on social media. However, they both also acknowledged there is still a brotherhood that connects them. This type of personal, contentious history was part of the backstory for several of the previous Verzuz battles like Nelly vs Ludacris, Brandy vs Monica, and Jeezy vs Gucci Mane.
Over the last week, Swizz Beatz and his business partner Timbaland also discussed potential upcoming Verzuz participants on other platforms besides The JBP. Swizz would not rule out the chance that legendary entrepreneurs/recording artists Sean “Diddy” Combs and Andre “Dr. Dre” Young could step into the Verzuz venue for a likely internet-breaking presentation of classic East Coast and West Coast tunes.
Kendrick Lamar still has a lot of industry insiders wondering what exactly is the next move with his new pgLang brand. So far, Lamar has not confirmed very much about pgLang except that it is a “service company” that he started with former TDE president and longtime collaborator Dave Free.
In October, i-D magazine published a Kendrick Lamar-conducted interview with rising rapper Baby Keem. The conversation between the Pulitzer Prize-winning musician and his protégé gave a little more insight into pgLang.
“It’s a good thing to have people who understand your creative language. I always go back to the language and that’s how we damn near made this company. You have to be able to share and experience the same language, or teach another language. On the music side, you’ve been at the forefront of pgLang,” Lamar told Keem.
Two months later, an eagle-eyed Reddit user spotted the pgLang logo in an unexpected place. The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights [Remix]” lyric video, featuring Spanish singer Rosalía, included an unidentified person wearing a shirt with the same image posted to the verified pgLang Instagram page.
Does that brief moment in The Weeknd’s visuals indicate that the Canadian superstar is working with Lamar’s pgLang company in some capacity? This would not be the first time the Compton emcee used a music video to tease an upcoming partnership. He pulled a similar move back in 2017.
To add another layer to the internet speculation around a possible pgLang connection with The Weeknd, Black Panther: The Album included a track titled “Pray for Me” by Kendrick Lamar and the chart-topping vocalist, giving credence to the idea it is possible they would try to recreate that teaser buzz around the Black Panther soundtrack’s reveal. The two performers later teamed up for “Sidewalks” off The Weeknd’s 2016 album Starboy.
Earlier this year, Jim Jones and French Montana were able to publicly settle their differences after over a decade of beefing. Apparently, Jones is not ready to squash his issues with his former ByrdGang signee and Montana’s friend Max B though.
Jones and Montana were even able to record music together for the first time. “Too Late” appears on French’s CB5 project, but don’t look for a Capo/Biggaveli collaboration any time soon. While speaking with radio personality Jenny Boom Boom on Instagram, Jimmy blasted Max B.
“Nah, f### Max B. Tell Max B suck dick. F### outta here,” declared Jones about the incarcerated rapper before laughing. He added, “People don’t play with me with that conversation. Ain’t nobody can tell me nothing about that. That’s the first thing I say. If that’s how you feel, that ends the deal for anybody. No Max talk in my conversation. Period.”
The beef between Jim Jones and Max B apparently began over allegations of unfair contractual agreements involving ByrdGang which eventually led to the New Yorker born Charly Wingate to part ways with the label in 2008. The tension between the two rappers was heightened by accusations of infidelity against Jones’ wife Chrissy Lampkin and in-person confrontations.
In a video posted to YouTube in March of this year, Max B talked about his longstanding bad blood with Jim Jones. The Charly EP creator stated, “I think today we would’ve handled the situation different. We was young. We was all crazy, and now we’re here. We’re older, we got kids. People are looking at us. We gotta set the right example. It is what it is. It’s all love.”
Jatavia “JT” Johnson has spent the last week celebrating her 28th birthday. While the City Girls member was partying with friends and family, Twitter users were going back through her timeline for old tweets mostly from 2015-2017.
According to screenshots circulating online, a pre-fame JT had a lot to say about stars such as R. Kelly, Future, Russell Wilson, Reginae Carter, Kash Doll, Magic Johnson, Rihanna, and others. As of press time, it cannot be confirmed that any of these tweets attributed to @ThegirlJT are actually real.
The Miami native did not confirm nor deny if she really posted those negative tweets about specific celebrities years ago, but her verified @ThegirlJT Twitter account has since been deleted. JT took to Instagram to give an update on the status of her Twitter activity.
JT posted on IG Story that her new Twitter handle is @fuckyallbitch11. She also joked about her old tweets being in her purse before writing, “Nah all jokes aside stop searching them tweets cause I don’t feel like slapping a b#### back into the same year I was talking about them in!”
The first four tweets on the @fuckyallbitch11 account read, “This my new Twitter!! Who ima talk about on here? Hmmmmmmmm. Let me get my s### verified so y’all can know I mean it when I say F### YALL B######! I made it new page to tweet problematic again I’m problematic suck out my ass with a Kapri sun straw.”
On Sunday, Meek recorded himself talking to some young, Black boys in Atlanta who were out in the street selling bottles of water. The clip included the multi-millionaire giving the group $20 while asking them what exactly is he supporting with his cash. They responded, “The water hustle.”
In Meek’s next Instagram Story post – which was captioned “Atl RUNTZ” – he can be heard telling the boys that he just gave them money after one of them complained that the other boys would not split the $20 gift. Meek then told him, “That’s a dub.”
That IG video eventually made its way to Twitter where some users expressed scorn toward Meek for not offering the children more than $20. Other people defended the Philadelphia-raised emcee for giving away any of his own money. Meek addressed the situation by simply tweeting, “They appreciated it they just hustling kids…”
Cardi B is never far from controversy. This time the “WAP” hitmaker is dealing with criticism for a tweet posted on Sunday afternoon. She wrote, “Should I spend 88K for this damn purse? Omggg it’s tempting.”
That tweet was met with backlash from some users who felt a rich celebrity asking about purchasing an $88,000 handbag, which apparently increases in value over time, was insensitive when many Americans are presently struggling financially, especially during the holiday season. Cardi addressed the negative reactions in a series of responses.
First, Cardi began tweeting out screenshots of headlines that reported how the Bronx-raised rapper donated $1 million to coronavirus relief and 20,000 meal supplements to medical workers in New York during the COVID-19 pandemic. She also recently gave away $1 million through CashApp.
Should I spend 88K for this damn purse ? Omggg it’s tempting 😩😩😩
Cardi did not stop there. She then posted, “Also I got 7 uncles [and] 3 aunts on my daddy side, 9 aunts and 3 uncles on my momma side a whole bunch of cousins I had to help [because] of the pandemic ….If I want to splurge I can [without] yall asking for [handouts] like me and my husband don’t do so. Thank you.”
By 6:53 pm, Cardi decided to shift the conversation. She tweeted, “Okay let’s do this challenge! Since ya want to tell me to donate soo much… Drop receipts on what YOU have donated too. I will match it and donate to [an] organization you have [donated] as well. [LET’S] START NOW!”
The 28-year-old Grammy winner also added, “Any charity or foundation drop your receipts under the comment I will match what you donated and match your donation to that same charity or foundation. [Let’s] match energy.”
Okay let’s do this challenge! Since ya want to tell me to donate soo much …Drop receipts on what YOU have donated too.I will match it and donate to a organization you have donate as well.LETS START NOW!
Any charity or foundation drop your receipts 🧾 under the comment I will match what you donated and match your donation to that same charity or foundation.Lets match energy.
Eventually, Cardi clashed with journalist Yashar Ali after he argued tweeting about an $88,000 purse during a pandemic is “deeply insensitive and unnecessary.” Cardi fired back, “Go cry about it. I never seen u tweet about me when I donated a million [dollars] twice now you here. I didn’t [offend] [nobody], didn’t do nothing illegal. [I’m] not going to apologize because I work my ass off and I ask MY FANS! Which ARE MY FRIENDS A QUESTION! Ya want to be hurt so bad.”
Later Cardi questioned why she was being held accountable for the economic state of the country and not the current sitting President of the United States Donald Trump. She tweeted, “Ok guys I apologize. There you happy?! I don’t see ya askin [Trump] for [an] apology when he out here missing COVID meetings to play golf but [okay].”
While there was significant heat directed at Cardi, many people online were backing her right to spend her own money as she chooses. For example, veteran journalist Roland Martin posted a tweet telling the entertainer to enjoy life. Cardi eventually ended the night by jokingly posting, “Sooooooo……do ya want me to show ya the purse?”
Also I got 7 uncles an 3 aunts on my daddy side,9 aunts and 3 uncles on my momma side a whole bunch of cousins I had to help cause of the pandemic ….If I want to splurge I can with out yall asking for hand outs like me and my husband don’t do so.Thank you. https://t.co/9LpZEMQXNv

Rap pioneer Kurtis Blow has undergone a full heart transplant. First of all, let’s be clear. Kurtis Blow is the first rap superstar. Even Run DMC came up under him. Run of Run DMC was originally called “The Son of Kurtis Blow” for marketing purposes. That is part of the reason why Run DMC was called the Kings of Rock and not Kings of Rap. At the time, Kurtis Blow was “The King of Rap.” Peep:
My dude was the MAN! Even his name is rooted in drug culture, but you did not hear that from me! Anyway, Kurtis has continued to work in the game, but as a minister and also conducting the Hip-Hop Nutcracker. So, he has continued to be successful even when his career in rap waned. Most recently, KB has had some issues. I heard just today (Sunday December 6th), he had to have a full heart transplant to save his life. The word is that he had a stroke and needed to have an immediate heart transplant. This news was delivered by Grandmixer DXT, another Hip-Hop legend. He said that the heart is functioning well and properly after the surgery! So, prayers up for the legend!!!
Here is one of KB’s songs you may be familiar with….that Nas revamped.
2 Chainz is expanding his Escobar-branded chain of restaurants, now that he’s settling a beef with the estate of late narco-terrorist, Pablo Escobar.
The Atlanta rapper star/restaurateur and his business partner Mychel “Snoop” Dillard celebrated the four-year anniversary of the launch of their Escobar Lounge and Restaurants.
Last night, 2 Chainz and Snoop celebrated the grand opening of their third location, EscoSeafood at 447 Edgewood Avenue in Southeast Atlanta.
https://www.instagram.com/p/CId3L9hFNux/
To celebrate the grand opening, 2 Chainz brought out “Toni,” the monster Sherp Pro ATV Kanye West purchased for the rap star on his 43rd birthday.
2 Chainz and Snoop’s new EscoSeafood luxury restaurant in Southeast Atlanta adds to the pair’s businesses in Southwest Atlanta, and Morrow, Georgia.
Nate Robinson became the subject of endless memes after Jake pummeled him into unconsciousness during the second round.
Jake, who made a whopping eight-figures for less than 5 minutes worth of work, is also a budding rapper.
Thanks to his quick work of Jake Paul, his career took a big step forward thanks to his new pals DaBaby and the North Carolina rap star’s artist, Stunna 4 Vegas, who is signed to Billion Dollar Baby Entertainment.
Stunna 4 Vegas just dropped the visuals for his song “Play U Lay” which features Ola Runt, with Jake Paul making a cameo throughout the entire video.
The video, which was directed by DaBaby, kicks off with Stunna 4 Vegas holding a diamond-encrusted chain with a basketball on the end with the name “Robinson” name embossed across it.
Jake Paul is featured prominently featured throughout the entire video, along with men laying sprawled out, face-down on the floor doing the “Nate Robinson” challenge.
At one point in the video, Jake Paul disrespect Nate even more, by dousing the diamond pendant with “Robinson” on it with champagne.
Meanwhile, boxing legend George Foreman is stepping up to the plate in order to save Nate’s reputation.
The 71-year-old boxing legend has offered to train Nate for a rematch against Jake Paul. Foreman believes Nate is an untapped talent who simply did not train properly.
“He may not want to box again, but I wouldn’t want him to leave without doing a better show than he put on. You don’t wanna go on like that,” George Foreman said.
Late rapper Juice WRLD accomplished many things during his 21 years on earth.
The rapper, born Jarad Anthony Higgins, achieved a level of success most rappers dream of before his tragic death from a drug overdose on December 8th, 2019.
Juice WRLD’s breakout song “Lucid Dreams” has been streamed over 1 billion times. His critically acclaimed debut studio album Goodbye & Good Riddance (2018)went platinum, and he dropped a collaborative album with rap legend Future Wrld on Drugs (2018).
When the Chicago rapper’s second album Death Race for Love dropped in 2019, it shot to the top of Billboard’s Top 200 album. But there is one thing Juice WRLD wanted more than anything else before he died – a child.
According to his girlfriend Ally Lotti, Juice WRLD was on the fast track to becoming a father, but she suffered multiple miscarriages.
“It’s all he wanted. We worked a lot and it took a toll on my body, I was always sick,” Ally Lotti wrote in a since-deleted post on Twitter.
Ally said she had a total of three miscarriages – three of them while he was alive. According to Ally, she was pregnant with Juice WRLD’s child when he died from a drug-related seizure inside of Chicago’s Midway International Airport as the cops prepared to search his private plane.
Ally said she suffered a miscarriage after he died due to the stress of the rap star’s unexpected passing.
She wrote: One of the first ppl to call me after he passed was my OB/GYN.”
Ally Lotti said she was finished posting sensitive information on Twitter, but she is planning to “lay it ALL out” on her new podcast, which is supposed to launch in January.
The battle zone is flooded these days, but we rarely see rappers of a celebrity nature come out and get into the “ring.” Bone Crusher and Pastor Troy Rap Battle lyrically duked it out back in 2016 in their native Atlanta. The legends offered a unique, decidedly more entertaining sort of competition that was in line with their animated Hip-Hop personas. The event was hosted by fellow emcee Headkrack and featured special guests like DJ Scream, champion boxer Boxer Adrien Broner, and Killer Mike. Bone Crusher had a smash hit “Never Scared” and similarly Pastor Troy has struck gold with “Are We Cuttin.” Both of these magnificent rappers helped cultivate the Atlanta Hip-Hop scene.
AllHipHop.com and Fight Tyme Promotions promoted the battle.
Having to move out of your childhood home is something many can relate to… and accomplished Hip Hop artist Dylan Owen once again succeeds in using lyrics to paint pictures — this time of his experience letting go and starting anew.
His recent single “A Time To Move On” embraces new chapters as he reflects on the memories made in the house he once called a home. Never shying away from offering his listeners an intimate glimpse into his personal life, Dylan talks about all of the ‘firsts’ he experienced in that house: his first relationships, first heartbreak, and even the release of his very first songs as a Hip Hop artist. His lyrics tug at the heartstrings in a way that is fitting for the nostalgic energy we’re all feeling the end of 2020.
If there’s one thing we’ve seen from 2020, it’s change. Dylan welcomes change with open arms as he decorates the track with actual sound bytes recorded from when he moved out in an effort to invite fans in. “A Time To Move On” follows the success of his track “Bruises” featuring popular rapper Abhi the Nomad, as well as his appearance at the Manhattan Center’s Paste Sessions where he performed LIVE in front of a studio audience.
Dylan’s talents have also landed him successful sync placements with MTV and Syfy’s WWE Smackdown. His connection with his fans is what truly sets him apart; to this day, Dylan will interview fans online for his ‘Coffee with Dylan Owen’ series. Putting his fans first has proven his genuine gratitude for their support. “A Time to Move On” invites fans in as Dylan moves out to embrace new experiences and memories that will last him a lifetime.
“A Time to Move On” is available on all streaming platforms now!
Dionne Warwick has been garnering lots of attention – and followers – on Twitter over the last few months.
The 79-year-old singer, who is already a music legend, has suddenly become Twitter’s latest “overnight sensation.” As of late, Dionne has been using her Twitter to bring some serious chuckles to an otherwise bleak 2020.
Dionne has been ranting on everything from the sexually charged playlists on Spotify that feature her classic tunes, to more serious issues like racism in the music business.
But since early November, Dionne has been on a roll with some entertaining quotes, memes, and replies to fans. Her playful interactions have prompted many to name her the new “Queen of Twitter.”
Tonight (December 5th), she demonstrated why she should occupy the throne, in a series of Tweets aimed at Chance the Rapper and The Weeknd. Both chart-topping artists have been occupying her thoughts.
Hi, @chancetherapper. If you are very obviously a rapper why did you put it in your stage name? I cannot stop thinking about this.
“Hi, @chancetherapper If you are very obviously a rapper why did you put it in your stage name? I cannot stop thinking about this,” Dionne said in a message to the Chicago rapper.
Chance, who bowed to the singer, admitted he was overwhelmed.
“Sorry I’m still freaking out that u know who I am. This is amazing,” he tweeted adding: “I will be whatever you wanna call me Ms Warwick. God bless you.”
Dionne was not content with Chance’s answer, so she followed up with another note: “Of course I know you. You’re THE rapper. Let’s rap together. I’ll message you,” she wrote and then turned her attention to The Weeknd.
The Weeknd is next. Why? It’s not even spelled correctly? @theweeknd
“The Weeknd is next. Why? It’s not even spelled correctly?…. If you have “The” in your name i’m coming for you. I need answers today,” Dionne sarcastically Tweeted.
For the record, Chance, born Chancelor Johnathan Bennett, has said in interviews that he added the words “The Rapper” because he believed rappers were synonymous with wealth and status.
As for the Weeknd, he came up with his name after he dropped out of school one weekend. He removed the “e” in his name to avoid a legal war with a Canadian band that was already using the name “The Weekend.”
President Donald Trump is not the only defeated presidential candidate fuming at the election of Joe Biden in November.
While most of the media concentrates on President Trump, his flatulent lawyer Rudy Giuliani, and their insane argument that the 2020/election was filled with fraud, another failed adversary of President Biden is also contending the election was rigged.
In addition to facing off against Trump, Kanye West, and Howie Hawkins, one of President Biden’s opponents was a candidate whose legal name is President R19 Boddie.
While Biden snatched almost 80 million votes, President R19 Boddie, who hails from Lithonia, Georgia, and ran as an independent, received just 3,167 votes, which was good enough to beat former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura.
President Boddie lodged a federal lawsuit claiming President Biden allegedly collected monetary gifts from foreign states and committed treason.
He wants all of the votes cast for President Biden to be invalidated. However, the court grew suspicious of President R19 Boddie’s intentions with the lawsuit.
Boddie listed President Biden’s address as “1738 Trap Queen Ave,” an obvious reference to the hit song “Trap Queen” by rapper Fetty Wap.
United States District Judge Amy Totenberg is familiar with Fetty Wap and his music because she caught on to President R19 Boddie’s prank immediately.
“Fetty Wap frequently references the numbers ’17’ and ’38’ in his music as a nod to a group of close chums in New Jersey, who call themselves the ‘Remy Boyz 1738’ in appreciation of the Rémy Martin brand’s ‘1738’ cognac,” Judge Totenberg wrote in her retort to President R19 Boddie’s lawsuit.
Boddie’s malarkey drew a speedy response from Judge Totenberg, who blasted him for squandering the court’s time. She issued a stern warning to the failed presidential candidate for lying about President Biden’s address.
“The Court strictly cautions Plaintiff against knowingly including false information in filings to the Court,” Judge Totenberg said.
Judge Totenberg rejected President R19 Boddie’s petition to invalidate the vote of every American.
While Judge Totenberg called the lawsuit “abject nonsense which has no chance for success,” she is permitting President R19 Boddie to serve President Biden with the lawsuit.
“As in his other filing, were it not for the fact that Plaintiff paid the filing fee to bring this action, the Court would simply dismiss this action as frivolous,” ruled Judge Totenberg. “But, as he indeed paid the fee, he may proceed to attempt to serve the named defendant if he so desires.”
The case is expected to be thrown out of court during the next hearing in February 2021.
The news that Ashanti and Keyshia Cole would be the next competitors to do a Verzuz battle has lit up the internet.
Verzuz creators Swizz Beatz and Timbaland revealed the two R&B songbirds will square off on Saturday, December 12th.
In addition to their solid catalogs of music, both ladies have deep connections to Hip-Hop. Keyshia Cole can boost early connections to MC Hammer and Tupac Shakur, while Ashanti was the star artist on Irv Gotti’s Murder Inc. Hip-Hop label.
And, they both have something in common with rap superstar Cardi B, who seemed to be the most excited to witness the epic battle between the two ladies.
All three of the superstars’ birthdays are just days apart. Cardi was born on October 11th, 1992, Ashanti”s birthday is on October 13th, 1980 while Keyshia came into the world on October 15th, 1981.
Wait a damn minute ?🧐Keyshia Cole & Ashanti are both Libras!?See I don’t mean to brag but I’m bragging💁🏽♀️I cant wait for this verzuz battle! It’s going to be sooo f##### good!!
“Wait a damn minute ?🧐Keyshia Cole & Ashanti are both Libras!?,” exclaimed Cardi, who shares the same zodiac sign as both of the ladies. “See I don’t mean to brag but I’m bragging💁🏽♀️I cant wait for this verzuz battle! It’s going to be sooo f##### good!!”
Cardi B also issued a warning for the men around the world to be prepared to deal with their emotional women during the battle, including her husband Offset.
Warning to all you mans out there (including mine) be nice the day of the Ashanti VS Keyshia Verzuz battle.Its going to be a lot of singing with this face😒😒On you.
“Warning to all you mans out there (including mine) be nice the day of the Ashanti VS Keyshia Verzuz battle.Its going to be a lot of singing with this face😒😒On you,” Cardi B joked.
Ashanti and Keyshia Cole will face off on December 12th at 8 PM ET.
R&B singer Jeremih has finally been discharged from hospital following a lengthy battle with Covid-19.
The “Don’t Tell ‘Em” hitmaker underwent treatment for the coronavirus in Chicago, Illinois, but his pal Chance the Rapper offered an update on Twitter on Thursday, writing: “I AM FILLED WITH PRAISE RIGHT NOW I JUST HEARD MY BROTHER JEREMIH’S VOICE ON THE PHONE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN ALMOST A MONTH. HE WILL BE OUT THE HOSPITAL TOMORROW WE GIVE ALL GLORY TO THE FATHER IN JESUS NAME.”
Chance was right, because Jeremih just released a statement confirming he is out of the hospital and back home resting up. Jeremih thanked all the medical staff who aided him as he recovered.
“First and foremost, I would like to thank God and the incredible team of doctors and nurses at Northwestern Memorial Hospital for saving my life. I will be forever grateful,” Jeremih said in a statement today (December 5th). “I would also like to thank my family and friends for all their prayers and well wishes. I’m overwhelmed with gratitude. A special thanks to Chance The Rapper, 50 Cent and Diddy for their love and support.”
Jeremih had been in critical condition in hospital, after being hooked up to a ventilator, with experts commenting that it was unusual for the virus to have such a massive impact given that he’s only 33-years-old.
During his hiatus, it was reported that Lil Dirk was out for vengeance when he allegedly purchased all the tickets to one of Quando Rondo’s shows.
The threat of violence became so real, that the Mayor of Macon, Georgia, and the police in the city decided to squash Quando Rondo’s first performance since King Von’s murder.
Lil Durk has remained silent on the situation, he prepares for the release of his new album The Voice. Durk returned for a moment on Saturday afternoon (December 5th), leading to an outpouring of support for the Chicago rapper.
But just as fast as he came, he went. The rapper disabled his account once again, leaving fans disappointed.
The same cannot be said for Quando Rondo, who dropped an insulting track about the shooting called “End of Story,” while throwing up gang signs and flashing guns via social media.
