Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian have reportedly reached an agreement over custody of their four-year-old daughter Dream.
Rob and his former fiancee have agreed to share physical custody of their little girl, on an alternating weekly schedule, as well as splitting holidays and vacations equally.
“Commencing December 2, 2020, and on alternating weeks thereafter, respondent (Kardashian) shall have custody of the minor child from Wednesday at 10 a.m. through Saturday at 10 a.m.,” the filing states, adding the pair reached the deal “without court intervention”.
“Petitioner (Chyna) shall have custody of the minor child from Saturday at 10 a.m. through Tuesday at 10 a.m. commencing December 5, 2020, and alternate weeks thereafter.”
The former couple also agreed not to “be under the influence of alcohol nor other substance” while caring for their daughter.
The new arrangement means that the lengthy legal battle between Rob and Chyna has apparently come to an end, with their court hearing over the custody matter – that had been scheduled for later this month – now dropped.
All other petitions that Rob and Chyna submitted against each other – including her request for him to undergo a mental health evaluation – have also been dropped, according to Us Weekly.
Master P is about to make the bossiest move in all of Hip-Hop History.
Forbes andESPN are reporting that he and his partner former NBA All-Star Baron Davis are in conversations to nab the Reebok sneaker and sportswear brand, an iconic designer sneak that has been linked to the rap game and street culture since the 80s.
It is noted that the No Limit mogul’s team is looking to drop a cool $2.4 billion on the purchase. The decision for the baller and rap legend to relieve Reebok’s parent company, ADIDAS, of its financial burden — albeit at a $1.4 billion loss— took about two months of careful consideration and big boy talks with the famous athletic apparel company.
Now it seems like they are currently in the position to make the whole world go “uhhhhhh… na… na… na … nah!”
While talking about the potential deal to ESPN’s Eric Woodyard he said, “These companies have been benefiting off us, this could be history for this company going Black-owned.”
He continued saying, “Imagine if Michael Jordan owned Reebok? That’s what I’m talking about making history.”
“As we focus on turning Reebok into a lifestyle brand not just a basketball brand, our most important initiative will be to put money back into the community that built this company.”
Davis also chimed in with Forbes magazine saying, “I think Reebok is being undervalued.”
“I left Nike as a 22-year-old kid representing myself and made the jump to Reebok,” he continued. “Which took a chance on me as a creative and as an athlete. I want the people I know, athletes, influencers, designers, celebs to sit at the table with me.”
Should this acquisition go through, it will only take that Master P empire, which includes food, real estate, film, music, sports and so much more, to the next level. It will push Davis further in the spotlight than his commentating on TNT has ever and will make the shoe hot again — do y’all remember the 50 Cent and Jay-Z jawns?
A popular dance and the force behind the infamous $54.11s, with Master P and B-Diddy at the helm Reebok is about to be lit in these streets. We need the “hook up” like now!
Jimmy Da Saint is here to inspire the masses with his story, passion, and relentless drive for success. Hailing from the trenches of West Philadelphia, the former rapper turned filmmaker and established author is a walking testimony of someone who fell victim to being a product of his environment, bounced back, and changed his life for the better.
One decade ago in 2010, Jimmy was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison, leaving behind his friends, family, and rap group called ICH (Inner City Hustlers). Finding the silver lining in the unfortunate situation, Jimmy turned to God and shifted his focus into the art of writing books. With no college degree or professional schooling, he taught himself how to not only write, but tell his story in a way that his peers could understand, feel, and relate.
Now as one of the top filmmakers in the game and an established author with endless novels, Jimmy comes out deemed the #1 Author of Street Drama.
AllHipHop: How is it over there with COVID?
Jimmy Da Saint: Oh man, I been staying out the way.
AllHipHop: Being from West Philly, what was the household like growing up?
Jimmy Da Saint: It wasn’t bad. It’s urban, it’s the ghetto, but my mom found a way like so many others. It was pretty cool. It was hard, but at the same time I was blessed to have a roof over my head. A mom that made sure I got everything growing up.
AllHipHop: What was a young Jimmy into?
Jimmy Da Saint: Music, breakdancing, rapping, DJing, I was one of them kids. I had my little studio set up in the basement, I was really that kid. I could stay in the basement all day, make music and create. That’s my whole thing, I’ve always been like that since I was a child.
AllHipHop: Biggest influences coming up?
Jimmy Da Saint: The breakdancers and the rappers, they were my influence. Watching those guys do it like “dang, I’d like to do that one day.” I was influenced by early Hip Hop. So many of the breakdancers around Philly I got to see, and I wound up becoming one. They weren’t no superstars or nothing. In the early days of hip hop, the breakdance movies, the rapping and poppin’ movies, it was a lot of those movies. I was really into the Hip Hop thing real heavy at a early age.
AllHipHop: Talk about your time rapping in your group, ICH.
Jimmy Da Saint: It stands for Inner City Hustlers. That’s a group I started with friends I grew up with around my neighborhood. We started rapping together and doing shows together, but we’re always a bunch of neighborhood guys who grew up together. We made the group ICH and ran with it. We were out there, a lot of people knew about us.
AllHipHop: Talk about the significance in the name Inner City Hustlers.
Jimmy Da Saint: The name actually comes from a book. There was a book author from back in the day named Donald Goines, he wrote a lot of urban books. One of his books was called Inner City Hoodlum, and I liked that. I said “whoa, I’ma name my group Inner City Hustlers.” It came from a book written by an urban book author that writes about ghetto life. My uncle had the book, I was looking at it and reading through it. I liked the title a lot.
AllHipHop: Talk about your love for books and when you started reading.
Jimmy Da Saint: Really, that stemmed from going to prison. In prison, I started writing. I had so much time on my hand. I had to do 10 years in the federal prison so I started writing books and became addicted to it. It flourished. I started writing books, I sent it out to a few companies. I was offered book deals while I was incarcerated, then I took it and ran.
AllHipHop: How did you land in there? 10 years is a long time.
Jimmy Da Saint: I landed in there because I started selling drugs, I got into the street life real heavy. I became real popular in the drug world, around my neighborhood, in my section of the city. All the fancy clothes, cars, all that stuff. Next thing you know, the Feds was watching me and I got indicted by the FBI. I was a first time federal drug offender. I’d never been to jail before, it was my first time. I was out in the streets and it happened to catch up to me, I went to federal prison. They gave me 10 years and I started writing books. I started writing about the stories I grew up with, the stories that I knew. The stories that I lived, the stories that I knew that others lived. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
AllHipHop: Did you pick up the writing from all the books you read or did you just fall into this?
Jimmy Da Saint: I really fell into it. I was in prison and I knew I had to do all that time, a decade. I said “I’ma do something,” and I started writing. It came to me, I was learning it. By reading books, I could do this. I could write a story. Next thing you know, I’m up to 10 books written, then 15, then 20, then 25, then 30. I’m like damn!
AllHipHop: Biggest lesson learned behind bars?
Jimmy Da Saint: Even in darkness, light shines on all who believe. Meaning it didn’t matter where I was at, how dark my time was at that moment, as long as I believe and have faith, I was gon’ be prosperous. I was gon’ be good with my books. My books turned out to get published while I was incarcerated. I bettered myself mentally, spiritually, emotionally, physically. Even in darkness, light shines on all who believe. I believe so much that I was gon’ be straight, that prison was a stepping stone. It didn’t hinder me. So many guys in there, they’re stuck in that world. It was like college for me.
AllHipHop: Is there a certain book that changed your life?
Jimmy Da Saint: Yeah, there’s a few books. The 12 Universal Laws of Success by Herbert Harris, I like that book a lot. Fake It, Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill. As A Man Thinketh, James Allen. The Laws of Seduction, Robert Green. A lot of books. A lot of books I read that keep me on point and just learned. When I went to prison, I got a chance to sit down and really re-educate myself.
AllHipHop: I saw you were back there with the real Rick Ross, how was that?
Jimmy Da Saint: That was my man. We might while we’re in federal prison, we became the best of friends. We still work and do stuff together now. We got a few projects coming out together. We have a best selling book out, my book Black Scarface is co-written by Rick Ross. It sold over 200,000 copies independently. Matter fact, it’s the #1 selling urban book series in Philly for 5 years straight.
We’re in prison together, we were real close. We were friends, we were workout buddies. We still talk almost once a week now. He was a guy in there doing his time. When I was in there with him, he was serving his life sentence. When I got out, I remember him calling me at home telling me “yo Jim, I got my appeal and won. I’m not doing life, I’m coming home.”
He already did 20 years in there, he was so excited on the phone and I was happy for him. I’m like “you coming home?!” He said “yeah.” I knew he had his appeal in with the higher courts and they granted him his appeal and released him. He’s my friend. He happened to be Rick Ross, one of the biggest drug dealers in U.S. history. A down-to-earth guy. When you take all the drugs, the celebrity status and all that s### away, he’s a regular guy in there doing his time, hoping he’d win his case and come home like so many other brothers.
AllHipHop: How does it feel to be such an established author?
Jimmy Da Saint: I’m appreciative. I put work in. I’m a serious writer. I always say I write true stories fictionalized. I write what I know. I’m not the bang bang shoot ‘em up guy. I tell real deep personal stories. If you ever get a chance, you should read my book Black Scarface and you’ll see what I’m talking about. You can go to Amazon and look at all the reviews. It’s rated one of the top urban books in America.
AllHipHop: What goes behind putting out a book?
Jimmy Da Saint: Well when I was in prison, I had learned how to start my own publishing company. Once I figured it out, I started publishing company and started releasing my books on my own publishing company. I didn’t want to sign book deals. People was trying to sign me. My first 2 books, I signed a book deal. After I learned the game and learned that I could be the publisher of my own work, I set up my own publishing company The Saint Entertainment. I started releasing my projects through my own publishing company.
AllHipHop: Did you have a mentor in the game that helped you?
Jimmy Da Saint: I was my own mentor. I mean, Rick was there for me. Rick taught me a lot of stuff, good genuine jewels he gave me. I’m very, very self motivated myself. I wake up in the morning everyday thinking the next move I can make, the next power move or the next situation I can work my way into. That’s my mentality anyway.
AllHipHop: What inspired you to write What Every Woman Wants?
Jimmy Da Saint: I wrote that while I was in prison. I remember talking to a girl on the phone, we’re talking. She said “women just want real love, want a man to be honest. There’s so many f##### up dudes out here that are manipulative or only in it for sex, that’s their main agenda. There’s not a lot of real men out here.” It gave me the idea to write a book, I started writing What Every Woman Wants. A lot of people seem to like that book because I still put all the drama in it, but it’s really reality based. You have to read it to see.
I knew I could write it because I knew the stuff I took women through personally. I remember that in reality, 99.9% of women want loyalty. You give them loyalty and that love they desire, you gon’ have a rider for life. They want loyalty. They want to know that when you leave out the house, you’re not chasing every set of panties. You’re trying to f### this girl. Trying to do this. They can count on you and when you come home, there’s no questions asked. When they can count on you 100%, you come home, they make it home.
They make it feel like home so you get everything you desire and more, because that’s how they feel when you away from them. If you can give them that loyalty and that trust, all that other s###, sex and money, materialistic stuff, that’s nothing to them. You got a rider for life.
AllHipHop: What’s your passion for film? What projects are you most proud of to-date?
Jimmy Da Saint: I got into the film thing 2 years ago. My project coming out now is Karma Effect, I won a few awards for that at different film festivals. The LA Indie Film Fest, I won Best Feature. It’s a film I wrote and directed. It’s coming out soon on Amazon Prime, iTunes and Apple TV, so it’s gonna do good. It’s about a guy named Karma, he’s looking for the man responsible for his young sister’s death. A lot of twists and turns in it, just like my books.
AllHipHop: What’s been the most challenging part of your career?
Jimmy Da Saint: There’s really not been too many challenges because I got God. I’m so confident. I face my challenges. I don’t run from obstacles, I make sure my obstacles and challenges are minimal. Because I’m in control of me, I’m in control of my destiny. As long as I stay that way, I don’t let really nothing deter me from my focus. I laugh at challenges.
AllHipHop: Talk about your mentorship work as well.
Jimmy Da Saint: I done talked to prisoners, kids, women. People call me for advice all the time. I work with local city officials for certain fundraisers and events to help gun violence, drugs, certain things like that. They can call upon me. I’m a nice voice in the urban community, especially around Philadelphia.
Jimmy Da Saint
AllHipHop: Goals for yourself?
Jimmy Da Saint: One day I’d like to have a school built from the ground up named after me, the school’s about music, entertainment, and technology. They get people really ready for the real world as far as musicians, tech, the entertainment business. If that’s what you want to get into, then my school would be the perfect school for you. I think about that a lot. Something I’d like to leave back in my legacy. Wow, a kid from the ghetto and I have a school named after me I built from the ground up on 10 acres of land, it’s everything that you need. Every parent’s begging and yearning for their child to be on the list to get into the school. That’s something I want to accomplish.
AllHipHop: What does it mean to give back to your city?
Jimmy Da Saint: I was made to give back to my city. I do the largest award show every year, the Philly Hip Hop Awards. I’m the owner, I give back to my city. I give awards to the top artists. Females, males, dancers, barber shops, whatever, the whole entire city. Philadelphia’s the sixth largest city in the country with over a million people, it’s a pretty big city. I enjoy giving back. My documentary on my life is out, it’s called American Hustler. It’s streaming now on Amazon Prime.
AllHipHop: How was it making a documentary?
Jimmy Da Saint: It was dope. When they liked it and accepted it… it got put on there. It’s dope.
AllHipHop: Anything else you want ot let us know?
Jimmy Da Saint: I’m working, finishing up a few new book projects. Finished up a movie, You Only Live Once, that I’ll start editing at the top of the year. Get it ready for maybe a Spring release. Karma Effect will be out hopefully in the next month or so. I’m working, taking it one day at a time. Working, staying out of the way. Staying Corona-free. Staying focused on the next journey of my life.
It looks like French Montana has done something that is becoming more popular in the male celebrity world. The word on the street is that he got a similar procedure to Funkmaster Flex, plastic surgery.
The streets is talking that French got his body done so that he is able to pose half-naked on a magazine cover. I kid, I kid! This may or may not be true, but this is what people are saying. I think it may be an appeal to the ladies but with him appearing on Hip-Hop magazine covers it certainly does not bode well for the man-part of the population. Why would he even care anyway? A woman is at the helm of the magazine that Frenchie is on so it’s all to the good.
I am not an expert on the matter, but those that seem to be more versed in this situation, having analyzed his body and say it is “work.” I mean, who cares!? These people are Hollywood, for goodness sake. They are not the streets anymore. I personally would rather we heard some really dope new French Montana music rather than be sitting here on another Hip-Hop site talking about whether or not he got plastic surgery. But this is the world that we live in and this is what we’re talking about.
The good side is that French is off drugs, liquor and now focused. I can’t be mad at that. Dude almost died!
I am looking at this video and I am amazed! This man Blocc Boyy was killed!! I never heard of son a day in my life. But, here we are talking about it because he went from hood to hood antagonizing people. He was basically acting like Tekashi, but did not have the security to match.
I am not laughing at his death, but I certainly can say he is a product of the times. Even Tekashi is laying low these days. I think he wants to get out of the year intact. At any rate, look at this post from @lahoodmedia and you tell me.
MOB/Compton rapper and Instagram personality #BlocckBoyy pronounced dead yesterday evening after allegedly being shot whilst sitting in a parked vehicle in Lakewood 🚘🚫👀🙏
“An investigation is underway into the death of a man who was found with a gunshot wound in Lakewood Sunday afternoon.
Deputies responding to the 20600 block of Seine Avenue found the wounded man inside his vehicle around 4 p.m., the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said in a news release.
Paramedics and deputies tried to save the man’s life, but he was ultimately pronounced dead at the scene, officials said.
It’s unclear who shot the man. The only information available was that a four-door vehicle seen leaving the area may have been involved, the Sheriff’s Department said.
The shooting remains under investigation and no further details were available.”

They say he was a comedian that pretended to be a rapper, but they ended up not laughing and treating him like a rapper. Anyway, for all we know he’s looking somewhere reading these posts and laughing. The news of his death has been confirmed by the hood, but not quite by the real media. I mean, the “real media” may not care either.
The year 2021 will come in on Friday morning with a brand new project from Texas rap legend Bun B. One half of the highly-influential southern duo known as UGK is uniting with fellow Houston native LE$ for Distant.
The upcoming 6-track EP will hit all streaming platforms and digital retailers on January 1. Back in May, producer Dave Sitek invited Bun B and LE$ to his 1700-acre Sonic Ranch in West Texas where they recorded the soon-to-be-released effort.
Previously, LE$ worked with other southern Hip Hop artists like New Orleans’s Curren$y and Houston’s Slim Thug. The rhymer referred to as @steakxshrimp on social media just dropped his Dios, Vol. 1 album on November 27.
Bun B’s extensive musical catalog includes the solo studio LPs Trill, II Trill, Trill OG, Trill OG: The Epilogue, and Return of the Trill. His days as part of UGK with Pimp C produced classic bodies of work like Ridin’ Dirty and Underground Kingz.
Early this morning, Meek Mill’s name was one of the top trending topics on Twitter in the United States. The high interest in the Dream Chasers label head was the result of a discussion on the Clubhouse app that made its way to Twitter.
In the clips circulating online, Meek could be heard talking to other Philadelphia natives like PnB Rock and Gillie Da King about helping up-and-coming rappers from their hometown. Swizz Beatz, 21 Savage, Karen Civil, Wallo, and Chino Braxton were also in the room. The conversation lasted for two hours.
People in that Clubhouse session talked about a variety of topics, including giving back to the community and rising acts signing records deals. Meek also took issue with blogs like The Shade Room for financially benefiting off perpetuating tension among celebrities.
At one point, Meek Mill got into a shouting match with a Philadelphia-based rap artist named Omar Teagle Jr. Things got heated when Meek blasted Teagle for supposedly growing up in the Delaware suburbs and being the son of a “rat.” Meek also tried to get someone kicked out of the room for saying a $20,000 advance was not a lot of money for a starting recording contract.
The negative reactions to Meek’s Clubhouse rants caused him to respond on Twitter. In a series of now-deleted tweets, the “Ima Boss” rapper stood his ground and insisted he will never be banned from Philadelphia.
“You can’t come at me and think [you’re] getting a deal. We shutting all that down lol. Lucky I’m smart,” posted Meek. “I ain’t turn the whole hood up lol y’all managers and all gotta stand on y’all actions with Meek lol ain’t no getting around me.”
In another deleted tweet, he added, “I can’t believe they thought they was gone bully me lol. I’m shooting my whole next project in Philly not for respect to make it clear nobody gotta fear a neighborhood chump… Ima make sure its all nonresidential areas so it’s safe also.”
About seven hours later, Meek returned to Twitter to offer a mea culpa. The 33-year-old Roc Nation affiliate tweeted, “Ima have a better reaction in 2021… I apologize when [I] snap out sometimes… then convos that stem from hatred, strike me hard from my upbringing! After that [Nipsey Hussle] s### my hatred level went up. I’ma boss up leave it in 2020!”
🤗 ima have a better reaction in 2021… I apologize when snap out sometimes ..then convos that stem from hatred, strike me hard from my upbringing! After that nip s### my hatred level went up I’ma boss up leave it in 2020!
Another day, another comment from Young Thug that has a lot of people scratching their heads or rolling their eyes. In what seems to be a habit at this point, the Atlanta rapper expressed controversial opinions about another legendary Hip Hop artist that could be perceived as disrespectful.
Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter – the solo act that holds the all-time record for most #1 albums (14) and sits in the Top 10 of acts with the most all-time Hot 100 chart entries (100) – was the man on Thugger’s lips this time. While appearing on the Million Dollaz Worth Of Game podcast, Young Thug brought up Jay-Z as he was making a point about huge hit records.
“We ain’t talking about streams, sales. We ain’t talking about none of that. We talking about anthems. We talking about songs they know. When I perform I got 30, 40 songs that the whole stadium gonna know,” stated Thug. He then added, “Jay-Z ain’t got 30 songs like that where the whole stadium finna sing.”
“Jay-Z don’t got 30 songs like that”
We’re dropping the video of episode 93 with Young Thug at 7:30 tonight.
Million Dollaz Worth Of Game host Gillie Da King responded to his guest’s statement by saying, “[Jay-Z] got a lot though.” That led to the So Much Fun creator walking back his bold take about Hov. Thug replied, “I know he do. He probably got 50 of them b######. I’m not literally saying him. I’m just saying n##### who you think is the man.”
On the same show, Young Thug recalled an awkward meeting with Lil Wayne which gave the impression that Thugger felt slighted by the Young Money leader. There was also his recent appearance on T.I.’s Expeditiously podcast that made headlines because Thug downplayed Atlanta Hip Hop icon André 3000 for allegedly not wanting to collaborate with him on a song.
Rubi Rose may not be a household name yet, but she is beginning to make noticeable waves in the music scene. The Kentucky-born, Switzerland-raised performer is giving the world a taste of her musical brand with a new body of work.
For The Streets arrived on Christmas Day. Rose’s 8-track debut mixtape features contributions from Atlanta Hip Hop rhymer Future and Ontario R&B crooner PartyNextDoor on the song “Whole Lotta Liquor.”
Rose also incorporated a soundbite of Platinum-selling rapper Cardi B praising the Hitco Entertainment signee for her unique voice on songs. Cardi helped present Rubi Rose to a larger audience by having her as a cameo in the record-breaking “WAP” music video and repeatedly mentioning her on social media.
Prior to For The Streets touching down on DSPs, Rose also collaborated with other artists like Yella Breezy, NLE Choppa, K Camp, Rico Nasty, and Wiz Khalifa. The bilingual Georgia State-educated entertainer has already garnered 800,000 monthly listeners on Spotify and 34 million views on YouTube.
Many YouTubers have tried to break into the record industry as legitimate musicians. There are some success stories (like Justin Bieber, Soulja Boy, and Queen Naija), but there have been many failed attempts at becoming a star beyond the video platform.
Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr. (aka DDG) appears to be going in the right direction. The Pontiac, Michigan native began releasing music in 2016. Four years later, he now sees his name on the Hot 100 chart.
“Moonwalking In Calabasas” is DDG’s first official entry on Billboard‘s rankings of the most popular songs in the country. The DevIsLit-produced track landed at #98 on the latest Hot 100.
https://www.instagram.com/p/CJW5TPtF5bA/
DDG celebrated this milestone accomplishment in his career with his 3.9 million Instagram followers. The 23-year-old Epic recording artist wrote on IG, “Great way to end the year with my first @billboard hot 100 entry & they said I couldn’t do it.”
He continued, “Big ups to @bluefacebleedem for the support & that HARD ass verse. @lewisyounasty for that crazy ass video. @yg for hoppin on the second remix. @devislit for the crazy production! @epicrecords for the crazy support & thank y’all for streaming! Keep listening, we got 90 sumthin more spaces to climb.”
After the original “Moonwalking In Calabasas” dropped in June, DDG enlisted Los Angeles rapper Blueface for a remix. Another version of the song, featuring fellow West Coaster YG, hit YouTube on December 19. All three renditions have combined for more than 33 million YouTube views.
Many people call Mariah Carey the Queen of Christmas, and for good reason. Her 1994 single “All I Want for Christmas Is You” has become a classic that takes over streaming services every winter holiday season.
For the fifth total week, “All I Want for Christmas Is You” returned to #1 on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart dated January 2, 2021. The track led the rankings for two weeks in December 2019 and one week in January 2020. It also reached the pinnacle two weeks ago.
The iconic carol collected 54.9 million streams in the United States in the most recent tracking week. On December 24, “All I Want for Christmas Is You” broke the Spotify one-day streaming record with 17,223,237 global plays on that date.
In addition, Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” currently sits atop Billboard‘s Global 200 and Global Excluding U.S. charts. That means the 26-year-old tune is considered the most popular song in the world at the moment.
Now, the rapper is in the headlines again over his behavior on a JetBlue flight over the weekend.
According to TMZ, Lil Pump was on a flight from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to Los Angeles, when he refused to follow the law and wear a face mask.
The rapper made a huge fuss on his flight, and he allegedly coughed and sneezed into a blanket without wearing his mask, which drew the ire of the pilot, during the plane.
Things got so bad, that the pilot called the cops on the rap star, who eventually capitulated and put on his face mask, but he was swiftly reprimanded when the flight landed.
While Pump avoided arrest, he was permanently banned from flying on JetBlue.
Apparently, there was no love lost between Lil Pump and JetBlue. The rapper posted a rant to his 16 million followers, trashing the airline in a since-deleted post.
“F### JetBlue, f### everybody that work in there n####,” the rapper ranted. “Yall b###### some bums.”
Lil Pump’s disturbing behavior comes on the heels of another controversy involving a different airline. On December 14th, a man boarded a United Airlines flight without telling anyone he had symptoms consistent with having COVID-19.
Rap mogul Damon Dash has another legal battle to face to end 2020. The Roc-A-Fella Records founder is being sued again by a familiar foe – Monique Bunn.
According to court documents obtained by AllHipHop, Bunn is seeking another $1 million from Damon and his wife Raquel Horn.
Damon Dash Sued For $1 Million For Defamation
Damon Dash Sued For $1 Million For Defamation
Monique Bunn claims the pair defamed her in a video they posted, claiming she was a thief, over allegations she allegedly ran up charges on his credit card.
The problems between the pair started in April of 2019 when Bunn stayed the night at Damon’s mansion in Los Angeles to do a photoshoot for his Poppington brand.
Monique Bunn claims that during the overnight stay, Damon entered into a room in the house where she was sleeping, and drunkenly fondled her against her wishes.
“First they come into your house, then they try to rob you…when they get caught they try to make a good guy look like a bad guy…then try to extort you… #chrisbrownthelawyer is clearly the ring leader of this conspiracy,” Damon said in a post with the video in question. “This is his third lawsuit he has personally filed against me in a year…from what I hear the FBI should be doing their job.”
In her new lawsuit, Monique Bunn claims she has been emotionally scarred by the video, which went viral as soon as Damon posted it.
Bunn also says the false allegations ruined her ability to get work.
Bunn also maintains that Damon has been moving his money out of his Poppington bank accounts to avoid paying any possible judgment against him and his successor companies.
“From approximately August 2020 through November 2020, Poppington
removed all of its assets from its account at JP Morgan/Chase (“Chase”), and upon information and belief, placed the funds in The Dash Group LLC’s account at Chase. As Dash and his girlfriend Horn control both entities, it was easy to transfer all of the Poppington’s assets to The Dash Group LLC,” Monique Bunn’s new complaint reads.
This time around, Damon’s nemesis lawyer Christopher Brown is not involved in the lawsuit.
Monique Bunn is represented by the Law Offices of Dina Adham in the latest legal headache for Damon Dash.
However, Christopher Brown is still representing her in the $51 million lawsuit, which is still winding its way through court.
Mariah Carey’s ex-husband, Nick Cannon, is a dad again.
The actor, rapper, and TV personality’s on-off girlfriend Brittany Bell gave birth to the couple’s second child just before Christmas and took to Instagram to share the happy news on Friday (December 25th).
“The best gift ever we have been surprised with… A GIRL!!!!!” the model wrote alongside snaps of Nick with the newborn, while Cannon called Bell a “rock” for undergoing “the most intense yet empowering natural water birth”.
Nick and the former Miss Universe contestant already share three-year-old son Golden, while Cannon is also dad to Carey’s nine-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe.
Rapper T.I. continues his push into the legalized cannabis market. The Atlanta rap star has teamed up with veteran NBA player Al Harrington, to serve as an ambassador for his cannabis brand Viola.
In his new role, T.I. will act as the company’s Social Justice and Reform Ambassador and will direct the community impact strategy for Viola.
TI’s new responsibilities will include supporting halfway houses in California, Colorado, Oregon, Washington, Michigan, and Oklahoma, in partnership with his Us or Else social justice non-profit.

A 7-year-old girl who was shot during a violent altercation near Phipps Plaza in Atlanta has died.
The girl, named Kennedy Marie was hit by a stray bullet during the shootout as she was riding in a car with her family, over the Christmas holiday.
Rapper Jermaine Dupri blasted the gunman who shot the girl in an Instagram post and called on tougher policing to combat the surge of violence in Atlanta.
“If you really from the A, it’s time for us to come together and stop all this shooting s### at Lenox and now Phipps,” Jermaine Dupri tweeted before the girl tragically passed away from her injury. “The police need to get tougher, the profiling needs to go to code red and I can give a f### about y’all getting mad about me saying this. Lil kids getting shot is wack.”
So far, the gunman remains on the loose and the cops have offered a $15,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest of the shooter.
“Our hearts are broken by the senseless murder of Kennedy,” Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms said in a statement. “While the Atlanta Police Department has significant leads in the apprehension of those responsible, it does not erase the pain felt when a beautiful, vibrant, and loving child is tragically taken from her family.”
Rapper Lil Scrappy called for an even more drastic punishment for the murder if the gunman is caught.
“Whoever did this need to be tortured and fed to some wild pigs,” Lil Scrappy said. “U n##### ain’t s### man I swear y’all n##### scary won’t go hit the right person you wanna jus shoot up s### dumb ass f#### need to b dealt with gsap, praying for peace,strength and comfort for her family, thank you God for taking her into your heart.”
In 2020, there have been over 155 homicides in Atlanta, making it the most deadly year in the city and over 20 years.
The murder of Kennedy Marie has caused division amongst members of Atlanta’s City Council. Councilmember Howard shook blasted the Bottoms Administration for the rising death rates in Atlanta.
“I don’t want to hear the word ‘uptick.’ Stop minimizing our concerns by telling us that ‘crime is up everywhere,’” Howard Shook said in a statement.
Rapper T.I. also reacted angrily to the news of Kennedy Marie’s death.
Los Angeles is home to many greats in hip-hop, from Dr. Dre to Nipsey Hussle to Kendrick Lamar. Insert Cush Wallace, your new favorite West Coast recording artist here to take the music industry by storm. As a classically-trained guitarist and cellist, he prides himself in writing, producing, and even engineering his own music — a rare sighting in today’s oversaturated rap game.
With his dad from Harlem, New York and his mom from El Salvador, Cush was blessed to see the best of both worlds. In addition to memories of playing 50 Cent’s “In Da Club” on the cello, he fondly remembers being exposed to Salvi cuisine, while having soul food on Thanksgiving. When it comes to music, it’s his ambitious, self-motivated, entrepreneurial spirit that’s gotten him this far.
Most recently, he returned to unleash his newest single titled “Loss for Words,” hailing a trappy, hypnotizing vibe that fans can’t help but gravitate towards. The song is inspired by the point in a relationship when you can’t explain why you had a falling out with a significant other, questioning if it was ever a real connection to begin with.
AllHipHop: What inspired you to make music?
Cush Wallace: My dad was instrumental in that because he was an A&R for Atlantic, then he was a disc jockey over at KJLH 102.3 for a minute. He put me on to so many different artists. He’s the one who got me started playing guitar. From there, I started playing the cello. I became really immersed in and enamored by strings. The music was rich in the family. He’d play Chuck Berry. From there, we went to Miles Davis, John Coltrane. Then it was jazz: Grover Washington. The whole Motown era, we got into Sam Cooke, Marvin Gaye. Dang, so many from Michael Jackson to Prince. When I finally got to hip-hop, I was really into B.I.G. and Pac, that whole era. Jay Z and Nas have been really big for me. Now, it’s between Kendrick Lamar, Drake, Lil Wayne, and Kanye West.
AllHipHop: What’s your favorite Kanye song?
Cush Wallace: Oh damn, there’s too many. My favorite project of course is Late Registration. How he incorporated the strings and the whole orchestra, it was crazy. I’d never heard that before so I was blown away. My favorite joint on there is “Drive Slow,” “Drive Slow” was crazy. That whole tape’s crazy! Then 808s & Heartbreak. That’s another classic.
Cush Wallace
AllHipHop: I was in college when that dropped, I’ll never forget that album.
Cush Wallace: Yeah same! I was starting college. The end of my senior year of high school, he had dropped Graduation for me. I was maybe a freshman in high school when Late Registration dropped. That’s what got me started like “yo, I gotta write.” Kanye was crazy.
AllHipHop: What was the inspiration behind your name?
Cush Wallace: The first name, Cush, is biblical. My given name is Matthew, so I wanted to keep that aspect of it. I feel like I’m a descendant of the Kingdom of Cush. People always tell me I got Eritrean features, so I always felt my ancestors were from that region. That’s why I regard myself the highest of all time. Wallace is my last name and I just so happened to share that with one of the greatest lyricists of all time: Biggie Smalls, Christopher Wallace.
AllHipHop: “Loss for Words” out now. How are you feeling?
Cush Wallace: I feel great! “Loss for Words” is the first single off my album, Wish the Worst for Me. It’s about a relationship gone sour and the first time that I’m able to show a more vulnerable side to my music. When I’m usually rapping, I have what I call “enriched flows.” I’m always talking about equity and ownership, being wealthy. With this album, I’m more in tune with a more vulnerable side of me, a more relatable side. I touch on my relationships with women that I’ve had over the years.
AllHipHop: How important is it to share personal stories in your music?
Cush Wallace: It’s really important, that’s what I want to do. I want to have a sense of relatability with my supporters and my audience. I want them to feel I’m a real person. I actually go through these things. I’ve been there too. I wanted to get to what I really enjoy about the storytelling in hip-hop. I can articulate myself in a way where I can use everyday phrases and things we go through in the natural flow of life, and put them over a crazy synth with 808s and hard-hitting drums to make you feel like “damn, I’ve been there too.”
AllHipHop: Talk about producing and engineering all your music.
Cush Wallace: It’s all part of the process. From songwriting to making the beat, coming up with the melodies, coming up with where the hats are going to sit? Where are the 808s gon’ be? Where’s the drop going to come? All of that is all one thing. All I’ve been doing is creating a formula, that’s all part of creating my sound too. That’s what I’ve been crafting – it’s something I can do over and over and over again. It’s addicting, I love it. I need to do it. I get up and that’s one of the things I get up thinking about. I’ve even had dreams where I dream a record; I’ll literally dream what I’m going to say and how it’s going to sound, then I wake up and go make that record.
To have that at my fingertips every single day is the biggest blessing in the world. That’s an achievement, being able to perform that. Even if nobody gets to see it right then and there, it’s still an achievement because it’s a performance. I live and breathe that, I love that. It keeps me going. I’ll have moments, everybody has those moments where you might not want to do it that day. But that control over my sound is what pulls me back every single time.

AllHipHop: What was the highlight opening for Kendrick Lamar?
Cush Wallace: That was dope. It was wild. It was in Pomona, he had dropped good kid, m.A.A.d city. In 2012, the city was different because he had brought back the West. The last one to come on top was Game. He came out with a really sound, solid hip-hop project; it really brought back feelings of 2001 Dre type of s###. He’d really brought the vibe back so being able to come and open up for him was dope. Being in the presence of greatness rubbed off on me. To know I could be there too, it’s inspiration.
AllHipHop: Goals you have for yourself as an artist at this point in your career?
Cush Wallace: The goal for me is to be the biggest in the game, I don’t really see a point in it if it can’t be that. I’ve watched these guys for so long that now, it’s my chance, it’s my time to take on the mantle. Jay Z has 14 #1 albums, I want 30. That’s what I’m in it for.
Billionaire Sean Diddy Combs is known for throwing the most lavish, entertaining parties.
In past years, the rap mogul has hosted celebrity-filled parties to ring in the New year.
But this year, Diddy’s annual festivity has been canceled due to what else? COVID-19.
Diddy revealed this New Year’s celebration will be scrapped out of an abundance of caution for his friends and family’s health.
“In efforts to keep everyone safe & healthy unfortunately WE ARE NOT HAVING A NYE PARTY THIS YEAR! I hope everyone had a blessed holiday and wish you all the best for the new year!” Diddy said.
Since the start of the lockdown in March of 2020 due to the coronavirus, over 333,000 thousands of people have died due to the deadly contagious disease.
Diddy vowed that no matter what, his party was officially canceled.
“I’m not changing my mind, diddy vowed. See you all in 2021,” he declared.
Last year, Diddy hosted an epic bash at Story in Miami and another party at his Star Island mansion, featuring guests like DaBaby, DJ Khaled, Taraji P. Henson, Rick Ross, Fabolous, 2 Chainz, and others.
A party hosted by rapper Toosii and YK Osiris went left last night in Jacksonville.
The rappers were hosting a concert at the Sk8 City Fun Zone near the Regency Square Mall last night (December 27th) when a shootout erupted.
The cops said thousands of teenagers had gathered to witness the pair when the shooting broke out sending hundreds of people running for their lives.
Witnesses said police responded with a huge show of force, in an attempt to quell the disturbance.
“Chaos. People running around everywhere. After that, the crowd dispersed. Then police came out with AR’s,” one witness told local CBS 47.
Thankfully, there have been no reports of injuries, other than Toosii himself, who ended up being maced by the police who responded to the scene.

“Last night at my show in Jacksonville, Florida I got maced for no reason at all along with several of my fans (young fans),” the rapper said. “They shut it down because of capacity so I went outside to greet everyone and this is what happened. I love y’all and f### them i’ll be back.”
Witnesses said two people were handcuffed and placed in the back of the squad car, although it is unclear if the two people were involved in the shooting or charged in the incident.
Toosii’s last post on Instagram two days ago featured him in a Triller video flashing and glorifying two semi-automatic weapons.
While a large section of the Twitterverse did not seem to enjoy Playboi Carti’s latest musical offering, he may still earn the first #1 album of his career. Whole Lotta Red is currently on pace to debut atop the next Billboard 200 chart.
HitsDailyDouble projects Carti’s divisive sophomore studio LP will open in the range of 125,000 – 135,000 first-week units. Either of those numbers would easily give the AWGE representative his best album sales to date.
2018’s Die Lit opened at #3 on the Billboard 200 with 61,000 album-equivalent units. That effort has reached Gold status in the United States. The Platinum-certified Playboi Carti mixtape dropped in 2017 and peaked at #12.
Whole Lotta Red could get a boost this week when Playboi Carti takes part in Thunder Studios’ Cyberwurld virtual global party on New Year’s Eve. Carti’s headlining performance will be his first since releasing his latest collection of music. The event is scheduled to stream live on Twitch at 8 pm PT.
