Charleston White Insists Any Male Gang Banger Over 22 Is “Homosexual”

By: Kyle EusticeCategory: News

Charleston White is back on Twitter and already stirring the proverbial pot just two days into 2025.

During a recent Spaces conversation, the outspoken internet personality was asked about gangs and his thoughts on older men who are still gangbanging. Par for the course, White didn’t hold back and said shared his controversial opinion.

“A n#### 30 years old doing what?” he asks in the clip, to which someone off-camera replies, “Still Crippin!”

White fires back, “Oh, he’s a fa####. N#### Crippin’ past 22 is a [intelligible]; he likes boys. One thing I will say about a n#### that’s still gangbanging—whether you a Crip or Blood—you wake up every day looking to go be with another n####. Every day, you wake up looking to go be with another n####. All day, every day. N####, you a homosexual. That’s a whole definition of a homosexual.”

White then calls both the Bloods and Crips a “fa#### organization like the NBA.” He continues, “The Crips and the Bloods is an organization like the NBA—fa####. Ain’t nuthin’ wrong with being that, but don’t try to come play like you not that. Stop trying to play gangster and you secretly got homosexual tendencies. Come on out the closet, n####. Come on out, cuh. I like an open homosexual, a n#### that’s with the s###.”

Of course, White has spoken on gangs before. In June 2024, he spoke on the ongoing beef between Kendrick Lamar and Drake. Lamar, who shot the “Not Like Us” video in his hometown of Compton drew huge crowds, including rival gang members.

White emphatically stated the only reason Kendrick Lamar invited the rival gang members to “The Pop Out: Ken & Friends” concert was for the optics—not because he necessarily wanted to broker peace in his community. He also insinuated Kendrick’s concert did nothing to stop gang violence from continuing.

“Kendrick did that for a video shoot,” he said. “He didn’t do that to bring n##### together. Them n##### just found something to dance to.”

White went on to insist Drake is the superior artist, saying, “Let me just say this. Drake a way better rapper. I know Drake’s songs. I ain’t never heard a n#### in Texas pull up bumping Kendrick’s s### or nothing. I was just going against the grain. Let’s be clear. Kendrick can’t compare unless you like twisting your fingers up like the retarded people. That’s the only way you gonna like Kendrick, you’ve got to be retarded.

“Sensible people don’t gravitate to that b#######. So, so what he gave theses up and coming artist the spotlight for the day. Most of them will be dead tomorrow due to the gang politics. California, Compton or whatever you want to call it, homie is not [inaudible]. Why would go shoot somewhere where nothing grows, everything dies? For what?”

White’s latest commentary is just another one in a long string of inflammatory hot takes that get the internet riled up. Watch it above.

Waka Flocka Gets Mad Nobody Verified Lie He Allegedly Told About About Assault

By: Houston WilliamsCategory: Rumors

UPDATE: Well, it looks like Waka Flocka is saying “AH-HA” about the assault claims. According to him, nobody reached out to his team to confirm the story. He’s pointing a finger at the media—but hold on a minute.

This guy sat in front of a phone and lied about getting beat up. Why would the media need to confirm something if he’s the one telling the lie? We assumed he was telling the truth. Even then, we filed this under our rumor section. We didn’t believe him from the start! Silly rabbit! Tricks are for kids!

By the way, this isn’t an indictment of the media. This is about Waka Flocka clearly not understanding how media works. I find it hilarious that some people are actually going to believe what he says. But smarter minds know better. This is no more an indictment of the media than Waka rapping about being a killer. It simply means he lied—and people took him at his word.

Now, when he actually does get beat up again, which will inevitably happen, just like it has in the past—nobody will care. And then he’ll complain nobody reported on it.

Just in case you wanna see Waka get stole on anyway, see another assault below

HERE IS THE OLD STUFF! BELIEVE WHAT YOU WANT!

I’ll be the first to say that nothing on the internet feels entirely real these days. But here we are, navigating through the noise. Over the weekend, reports surfaced about Waka Flocka being assaulted by a group of people. However, by the end of his admission, Waka suggested the whole ordeal might have been fake—a prank involving makeup. Looking at the initial photos of his supposed injuries, it’s hard to believe they’re just makeup effects.

Enter Southside.

Southside, a prominent producer, rapper and songwriter from Atlanta, chimed in on the situation. Known by his Instagram handle “Mafia Boss,” Southside has built a reputation as someone who speaks his mind without apologies. When Waka Flocka discussed the incident, he mentioned that no one stepped in to help him during the alleged attack. But Southside responded with a comment implying something different, essentially saying, “Stop playing with people—nothing happened to you.”

This raises questions. My sources claim the altercation did happen, allegedly fueled by alcohol and hot tempers. Southside’s comment could mean a few things: maybe it didn’t happen at all, or perhaps the story is exaggerated. Maybe it wasn’t a group of ten people, but one, two, or three individuals involved. For now, it’s unclear how this will unfold, but it seems Waka might have taken a loss.

One thing is certain: public perception of Waka Flocka has shifted, and many people in the comments are unsympathetic. His unwavering support for former President Donald Trump has alienated parts of his fan base.

Ja Rule Mocks 50 Cent’s Las Vegas Residency After Brutal Review Goes Viral 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Ja Rule is thoroughly enjoying the negative reviews of 50 Cent‘s Las Vegas residency and taking the opportunity to troll the G-Unit mogul. 

50 Cent launched his six-day run of Sin City shows on December 27, reportedly earning a staggering $15 million.

With two shows remaining in his Las Vegas residency, a viral review has already sparked widespread attention for its scathing critique.  

On New Year’s Day, Ja Rule reposted a clip from blogger Jennifer Gay, who’s better known as Vegas Starfish to her 1.7 million TikTok followers. 

Gay claimed to have seen 50 Cent make “pure magic” decades ago but panned his In Da Club show.  

“The sound was balanced poorly making it impossible to hear the performance,” she noted. “His hypemen were unrelenting and overbearing making it difficult to hear anything but their echos.”   

According to Gay, promoters promised “an unforgettable night full of surprises and energy,” but she says it was anything but.    

“The only surprise was the lack of energy. There was almost no crowd engagement,” she added. “This was the worst live performance, for any artist, I’ve ever attended.” 

@vegasstarfish

I’ve seen 50 Cent perform in warehouses in Memphis, TN (where I’m from) decades ago and it was pure magic. His limited time residency in Las Vegas was the opposite of that. The sound was balanced poorly making it impossible to hear the performance. His hypemen were unrelenting and overbearing making it difficult to hear anything but their echos. The stage design and graphics felt like they were organized 15 minutes before the show with a Chat GPT prompt for “90’s hip hop images”. During the build up to this show, 50’s publicists suggested this would be an unforgettable night full of surprises and energy. The only surprise was the lack of energy. There was almost no crowd engagement, the calls for an “encore” began 63 minutes into the performance and he returned to do another 15 minutes before unceremoniously leaving the stage without so much as a Thank You. This was the worst live performance, for any artist, I’ve ever attended. I understand that he’s successful and doesn’t need a residency, so why do it if he doesn’t want to put any effort into it? #vegas #lasvegas #vegasstarfish #50cent #gunit #vegasshow #vegasnews

Ja Rule was quick to troll 50 Cent, writing, “Not the worst.” 

Ja Rule Says “I Did It First”

Ja Rule also swiftly clapped back at detractors in his replies.  

“Where is your residency ?” one person asked. “At least he booked, busy and getting paid.” Ja replied, “As usual, I did it first…” and went on to argue that he not only did it better but also sustained it with longevity. 

His criticism of 50 Cent’s Vegas residency comes just days after Ja Rule slammed 50 Cent over a longstanding rumor.  

Fif previously claimed he bought out the first four rows of one of Ja’s concerts leaving the front rows empty. 

 “You believe this dumb s###???” he tweeted before calling 50 Cent a “a fat f###### LIAR.”    

Boosie Badazz Defends Parenting After Gifting 16-Year-Old Daughter Porsche 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Boosie Badazz is firing back at critics of his parenting after gifting his daughter, Lyric Beyonce Hatch, a brand new Porsche for her 16th birthday. 

On Monday (January 1), the Baton Rouge, Louisiana rapper shared a video on Instagram of the birthday girl receiving her gift.

Boosie has made a habit of buying luxury vehicles for his children, so this latest gift should come as no surprise.  

However, while many praised the lavish present, critics also scrutinized Boosie. Some questioned if he could take the car back after previously seizing the pink Mercedes-Benz he gifted daughter Toriana Hatch for her 16th birthday in 2023. 

Boosie fired back at the critics, defending his parenting in a lengthy social media post.  

He blasted the naysayers, telling them to “Be happy” for his daughter. “SHES A 16 YEAR OLD STRAIGHT A STUDENT WITH A 2025 PORSCHE THATS PAID FOR,” he stated.  

Boosie then referenced the controversy over daughter Tori’s vehicle. Back in 2023, Boosie and his daughter clashed in a heated online spat. He went on to diss Tori and her mother on the song “Ungrateful” and even went as far as removing his daughter from his will.  

Boosie Defends Taking Daughter Tori’s Car

Nonetheless, Boosie proudly boasted he’s only taken one car back out of the five he’s given his children.  

“SOME KIDS PHONES GET TAKEN WHEN THEY MESS UP,” he continued. “N SOME KIDS CARS GET TAKEN WITH THEY MESS UP ,ITS CALLED #parenting.” 

He added, “SO YALL WORRY BOUT THEM ANDRIODS N IPHONES N IM GO WORRY ABOUT THESE PORSCHES , BENZES N AUDI TRUCKS LOL N ONE MO THANG ‼️WHAT DID YOUR BABYDADDY GET YOUR CHILD FOR HER 16th? WHAT DID YOUR DADDY GET YOU FOR YOUR 16th ? WHERE IM FROM DOING FOR YOUR KIDS IS [‘Keeping it Gangsta’].” 

Meanwhile, Boosie recently revealed he’s expecting his ninth child. The rapper and his fiancée, Rajel Nelson, are expecting a little girl. 

50 Cent Trolls Kanye West Over Viral Deposition Footage: “Don’t Understand Why He Do It” 

By: London JennnCategory: News

50 Cent is trolling his old rival Kanye West over recently released footage from Ye’s deposition in a 2020 lawsuit. 

Clips from A&E’s Interrogation Raw: Celebrity Under Oath, recently went viral, but the G-Unit mogul still finds humor in them. 

On Wednesday (December 1) 50 Cent kicked off the new year by sharing his reaction to Kanye West’s bizarre deposition.  

The clip begins with Kanye West, who covered his face with a mask, asking if he’s going to jail over the complaint. However, attorney Michael Popok quickly intervenes, firmly advising West to limit his responses to directly answering the questions posed. 

“No I’m asking,” West interjects. “Ekwan, can I go to jail off of anything related to this lawsuit?” 

Popok attempts to repeat himself, but West cuts him off again.   

“What you mean I can’t ask my lawyer a question,” he stated. “You crazy. You don’t know who you talking to. I’m not some slave of yours, boy.” 

50 Cent found the encounter entertaining, noting that while he admires some of Kanye West’s antics, they aren’t moves he would make himself. 

“I be liking some of the s### Yeezy be doing, but I’m not doing it,” he wrote in the caption. “I don’t understand why he do it . LOL.”

This isn’t the first deposition clip the “Man Men” hitmaker has reacted to. Last month, 50 Cent posted another clip of Kanye West declaring himself the “richest Black person in the history of America.” 

Meanwhile, in other 50 Cent news, a review of his Las Vegas residency is going viral. Local blogger Jennifer Gay — known as Vegas Starfish to her 1.7 million TikTok followers — panned the In Da Club shows. 

She called the set “the worst live performance, for any artist, I’ve ever attended.”

Offset Kisses Mystery Woman In Dubai After Shading Cardi B In NYE Rant

By: London JennnCategory: News

Offset is seemingly putting his marriage to Cardi B behind him, kicking off 2025 with a bevy of beauties in Dubai, pausing his performance to plant a kiss on one.   

The former Migos rapper rang in the New Year with a celebration in the United Arab Emirates. Footage from the event shows Offset partying with a group of women, paying special attention to a blonde woman seen getting handsy with him on multiple occasions. 

In one video, Offset pauses his performance of the Migos hit “Straightenin” to kiss the mystery blonde standing on the side of the stage.

Offset also went live on Instagram from the party, showing off the women dancing around him.  

“I ain’t begging for nothing, p####! I’m him! Y’all n##### done forgot!” he told fans in the comments. “Yeah, Set popping P! Hello!” 

Offset also appeared to dismiss suggestions he was “hurt” over his split from Cardi B.  

“I’m hurt?” he said, clutching his mystery lady, who shielded her face from the camera. “Please! I have them joints! I have them joints!” 

Despite his remarks about Cardi B, Offset launched into a rant about the mother of his youngest children just minutes before midnight struck on January 1.  

“Sent me a pic of a N#### attacking you from the back [crying laughing emoji],” he tweeted. “Your friend been smacked too.” 

Offset also shared several follow-up tweets, insisting he doesn’t want Cardi B and announcing he’s got a “new joint.” 

Cardi B meanwhile rang in the New Year at a nightclub where Offset’s ex-Migo counterpart Quavo was also celebrating. The pair were spotted sharing a shot to toast to the late Takeoff. 

Joey Bada$$ Sparks Kendrick Lamar Debate With Fiery “The Ruler’s Back” Freestyle 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Joey Bada$$ kicked off the new year in attack mode with a new freestyle that has fans wondering if the Brooklyn lyricist is sending shots at Kendrick Lamar.  

The NYC native is determined to put East Coast rap back at the forefront following a dominant year from West Coast rappers. 

The title of the freestyle, “The Ruler’s Back,” serves as a homage to NYC legends Jay-Z and Slick Rick. Jay-Z’s single of the same name was itself a nod to Slick Rick’s iconic album. 

“I was sittin’ back, watchin’ from an eagle eye,” he raps. “Tryin’ not to react, just give me one reason/ I swear I’m on full attack, East Coast n#### ’til I die/ It’s clear who the heir, apparent king of NY, n####,”   

Joey Bada$$ also throws some shade with a quote from Hov’s “Reasonable Doubt,” referencing the line “Too much West Coast dick lickin,’” from “22 Twos.” 

Elsewhere in the freestyle, Joey Bada$$ declares: “This that black Air Force energy” and “This ain’t boom bap,” which many online have taken as allusions to K. Dot’s “Watch the Party Die” cover image and GNX cut, “peekaboo.” 

Fans Question Whether Joey Bada$$ Dissed Kendrick Lamar

The track sparked controversy on X (Twitter) with fans debating whether Joey Bada$$ dissed Kendrick Lamar or if he was just repping the East Coast.  

“If Joey Badass didn’t reference Kendrick in that freestyle, no one would’ve cared about it,” one critic asserted. “They all lack originality. They use Kendrick lingo/bars/flow. It’s like they are too egotistical to admit that they are influenced so they start to attack him to feel like they are #1.” 

Others expressed a more nuanced opinion, with another person stating, “Not all competitive rap is based off of animosity. Sometimes being competitive is about wanting to be the best. And the best rappers want to be the best while knowing and respecting the culture. Kendrick Lamar and Joey Badass are not enemies. Both can be great and can coexist.”

Waka Flocka Claims He Got Jumped By 10 Men, Shares Gruesome Photo Of Injuries 

By: London JennnCategory: Rumors

Waka Flocka sparked concern after sharing an image of his apparently battered and bruised face on social media, claiming he was jumped by a group of 10 assailants. 

On Wednesday (January 1), Waka took to social media with a graphic photo showing off his injuries. A pair of black eyes and multiple bloody abrasions on his face indicated a nasty beating.  

He recounted the incident in the caption, claiming he was attacked and complaining that no one intervened. 

“Can’t believe nobody helped me fight ten nixxas off,” Waka shared. “But I’m still standing ten toes marks.”  

He followed up on his Instagram Stories with a black and white video showing the same injuries. 

Nonetheless, Waka Flocka got little sympathy from fans in the comment section.  

“Maybe you should have used those ten toes and ran,” one fan shared. “Aren’t you too old for this fighting crap, JS.” 

Another also highlighted his age, adding, “You too old to be posting this. Too old to not have people around you to help you. (You might be the problem if you are who you are and not one person helped you lol)Too old to be in a position like this. Bad for the brand. Self reflection 2025.” 

Others still referenced his support for Donald Trump, taunting the rapper with remarks like, “Tell the MAGAs to help you next time.” 

However, it appears Waka Flocka pranked his fans about getting jumped, and the apparent injuries were likely stage makeup.  

Just two hours after complaining about being jumped, Waka posted a video on his Instagram Stories showing off his unblemished face. 

“Crazy y’all n##### believe that s###,” he said, laughing.  

Mass Shooting Outside Queens Nightclub Leaves 10 Injured On New Year’s Day

By: London JennnCategory: News

At least 10 people have been injured in a shooting outside the Amazura nightclub in Queens, New York on Wednesday night (January 1). 

According to an NYPD press conference, officers received multiple reports of a shooting at around 11:18 p.m. on New Year’s Day.  

Approximately 90 people were attending a private event in the upstairs area of the club, while around 15 others were outside waiting in line to enter as the event had reached full capacity. 

Authorities report four males approached the venue on foot. At least three of them opened fire in the direction of the group waiting to get inside the venue. The gunmen fired over 30 times, striking multiple victims.  

The suspects then fled on foot westbound on 91st St towards 143rd Pl, where they entered a light-colored sedan with out-of-state plates. 

Ten victims—six women and four men—all thought to be between 16 and 20 years old, were identified and transported to the hospital. Officers report all of the victims are expected to recover with non-life-threatening injuries. 

The NYPD confirmed the incident was not a terrorist attack. However, officers said it is too early to determine if the shooting was “gang-related,” amid rumors the party was to celebrate the birthday of a gang member slain last October.  

The shooting in Queens, New York, comes in the wake of the terror attack in New Orleans hours earlier on New Year’s Day.  

Local and state police were on high alert, with New York Governor Kathy Hochul and the New York City Police Department stating there were no credible threats to the state or the city. 

Mike Epps Thanks Ice Cube For Letting Him Rap On “Man Down” Album As He Plots New Project

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: News

Ice Cube may have inspired comedian Mike Epps to branch out following their collaboration for the West Coast veteran’s latest album.

Last November, a video of Cube and Epps in the studio with producer Zaytoven made its rounds on social media. At the time, it appeared as though Epps was simply fooling around with the “No Vaseline” hitmaker and freestyling over Zaytoven’s patent trap production.

However, that same month Ice Cube released his latest album Man Down, which is home to the track “No Cap,” a collaboration with Epps and Zaytoven. In an Instagram post Epps shared on Wednesday (January 1), he reacted to Cube’s recent interview with Sway Calloway by thanking the multi-platinum MC for giving him the opportunity to appear on the project.

“S/o to @icecube for putting me on his new album MAN DOWN iam rappin like a mf and I write my own raps on the track,” Epps wrote. “s/o to my guy @djfunkyatl and creating the beat with @zaytovenbeatz #alltheironsinthefire slid the picks !!!! COMEDY ALBUM COMING SOON.”

The new collaboration between Ice Cube and Epps marks the beginning of yet another triumphant chapter in their decades long friendship. Last March, Epps recalled how Cube helped him navigate a tough time in his life when he battled his addiction and mental health while filming their favorite movie All About The Benjamins.

“I’ve been on drugs, I’ve been through hell,” Epps told Barnes and Jackson. “I did most of the movies on cocaine. All About the Benjamins, I was—man, I used to sit in Ice Cube’s trailer in the morning and be crying tears. He like, ‘Mike, wipe your face, man. You a king, n####. Stop doing this s### to yourself.’ I’m sitting there wiping myself ‘cause I was really, really, really—I had survivor’s remorse.”

EXCLUSIVE: Tony Buzbee Takes Aim at JAY-Z’s Defense Strategy In Rape Allegations Case

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

The legal battle between rap legend JAY-Z and Jane Doe has tumbled into 2025 as Jane Doe’s attorney, Tony Buzbee, unleashed a sharp critique of JAY-Z’s motion to dismiss her sexual assault lawsuit.

The high-profile case, stemming from allegations of a 2000 assault, has seen JAY-Z’s defense team mount a multi-faceted argument for dismissal. But Buzbee is firing back with equal ferocity, trying to dismantle the foundation of the rapper’s claims.

Buzbee’s response, filed on behalf of his client, portrays JAY-Z’s legal strategy as misguided, premature and inconsistent with the law’s intent. He argues that the law is on his client’s side, and he’s not afraid to pick apart every element of the business tycoon’s defense.

One of JAY-Z’s key defenses is that the New York City Victims of Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Act (GMV Law) doesn’t apply retroactively, as the alleged assault occurred in September 2000—three months before the law was enacted.

However, Buzbee argues that this interpretation undermines the very purpose of the statute, which he claims was a federal civil remedy for gender-motivated violence. He cited the legislative history of the GMVA, which he says was designed to give victims a pathway to justice—even for incidents that occurred before the law’s enactment.

Buzbee dismissed JAY-Z’s reliance on lower-court rulings as unconvincing, pointing out that neither the Second Circuit nor the New York Court of Appeals has definitively ruled on the retroactivity of the GMVA.

JAY-Z’s team also contends that the GMVA claims are time-barred under the Child Victims Act (CVA), which preempts overlapping statutes. Not so, argues Buzbee.

He pointed to prior court decisions where similar preemption arguments were rejected.

“Local anti-discrimination laws are generally not preempted by state law in New York,” Buzbee asserted, adding that JAY-Z’s reliance on this argument is legally flawed.

JAY-Z’s final line of defense is geographic. His team claims the alleged assault took place outside New York City, making it ineligible under the GMVA.

Buzbee, however, called this argument both premature and procedurally improper and urged the court to deny the motion on these grounds, emphasizing that discovery hasn’t yet begun.

“The GMVA was designed to help survivors, not to give alleged perpetrators a loophole,” Buzbee seethed.

Elon Musk Addresses Fatal Tesla Cybertruck Explosion Outside Trump Tower In Las Vegas

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

A Tesla Cybertruck exploded in flames outside the Trump Hotel Las Vegas on Wednesday (January 1), killing one person and injuring at least seven others. Videos taken by witnesses inside and outside the hotel showed the vehicle exploding and flames pouring out of it outside of the hotel.

The incident occurred just hours after a man drove a truck into crowds of New Year’s Day revelers in New Orleans, killing at least 10.

“Obviously a Cybertruck, the Trump hotel — there’s lots of questions that we have to answer,” Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Sheriff Kevin McMahill said at a press conference.

https://www.instagram.com/p/DEQKKu3uMcF/?hl=en

Tesla CEO Elon Musk and an adviser to President-elect Donald Trump claims the blast was unrelated to the Cybertruck itself.

“We have now confirmed that the explosion was caused by very large fireworks and/or a bomb carried in the bed of the rented Cybertruck and is unrelated to the vehicle itself,” Musk said in a post on Twitter (X). “All vehicle telemetry was positive at the time of the explosion.”

A person was found dead inside the 2024 model-year Cybertruck and seven people sustained minor injuries from the explosion, McMahill said. News reports said the fire was being investigated as a possible terrorist act. The FBI is also investigating.

“We’ve got a lot of questions,” special agent in charge Jeremy Schwartz said. “We’re deploying resources. We will continue to do that until we get to the end of this and figure out exactly what happened and why.”

Offset & Cardi B Drama Continues Amid Lewd Text Scandal & Her NYE Link-Up With Quavo

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: Rumors

Offset and Cardi B’s relationship drama is spilling over into 2025 and now Quavo has been dragged into the mix.

Precisely four minutes before the proverbial ball dropped ringing in the new year, the former Migos rapper unleashed a scathing tweet targeting his estranged wife. In the short yet piercing message, Offset appeared to accuse Cardi B of sending him a picture of herself being intimate with another man. Along with the aforementioned accusation, the Father Of Four rapper alleged that mystery man wasn’t the only individual who Cardi had recently been with.

”Sent me a pic of a N#### attacking you from the back [crying laughing emoji] your friend been smacked too,” Offset wrote in the tweet.

Offset didn’t stop there and continued to go off in a series of tweets.

“Dees folks getting f#cked idgaf,” he wrote in a remark before adding in another, “F#ck the OPps idc. I’m back to me offset f### ya.”

Further complicating matters, a video began circulating on social media of Cardi B and Offset’s ex-Migo counterpart Quavo taking shots together at what appeared to be a New Year’s Eve event at a nightclub. While it appeared as though the pair were simply sharing a toast together and nothing more, the internet immediately ran with the opposite narrative.

A media outlet on Twitter (X) shared a video of the interaction between the pair in a tweet, writing, “Ex stripper Cardi B on her revenge tour to get back at her husband by hanging wit offset cousin ‘Quavo’.”

Though it’s unclear if Offset’s tweets were at all directed at Quavo, it’s worth noting that the pair of rappers appeared to be on a path to reconciliation throughout 2024. Though Quavo previously described Cardi and Offset’s drama as a “soap opera” in September 2023, he seemingly patched things up with Set last March. Offset actually opened up about the state of their relationship during an appearance on Gillie Da Kid and Wallo’s Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast.

“I don’t feel like I owe it to people to show how much me and bro love each other,” he explained. “We went through something. We don’t have to show you smiles on faces … so stop doing that.”

Offset explained there’s no animosity between he and Quavo, and they celebrate each other’s successes.

“We aint on no sucker s### with each other. We both came in this s### together and we both knew that, we understood that, and we lost our brother,” he continued. “I still go through s###; I know bro go through s###. N##### love each other though at the end of the day. We men, we real brothers, and we cool with it, so be cool with it.

Coi Leray & Trippie Redd Are Expecting Baby

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: News

Coi Leray has revealed that she and Trippie Redd are preparing to embark on a new journey together following their recent romance rekindling.

In an Instagram post she shared on Wednesday (January 1), the “Clingy” rapper debuted a protruding baby bump in a carousel roundup of images with Trippie. In the caption of the post Coi Leray rang in the new year by confirming they are expecting their first child together.

“I’m a rock star mommy,” Coi Leray wrote in part before adding, “We ready for 2025.”

In a follow-up story post, Leray revealed she had just crossed the four-month pregnancy mark at the time of the announcement.

A post shared by Coi 🆑 (@coileray)

The announcement of their first-born child together follows the couple confirming they started dating again last year in August after spending several years apart following their break up in 2019. Though their relationship has a storied history, a number of Coi Leray and Trippie’s peers flocked to the comments section to share their love and support for the couple. Among the artists to chime in with their regards in the comments section of the post was Shenseea — who appeared to hint that this wasn’t a spontaneous decision for Coi.

“Congrats! You finally got what you wanted you’re gonna loveee the journey sis,” Shenseea wrote.

Along with her “Flava” collaborator Shenseea, rising Atlanta rapper Anycia also sent Coi a congratulatory message expressing her excitement for her journey of motherhood.

“i’m so happy ab this,” Anycia wrote in one comment before following up in another, “mama coi is ab to hit different.”

H.E.R. added, “OMGGGGG. CONGRATS,” to which BIA and Yung Miami also echeoed, “Congratulations,” along with a barrage of emojis.

Kehlani also wedged her way in, writing, “CUUUUTEEEEEEEEEEE,” in an affectionate comment.

Coi previously described her bond with Trippie as her “first real relationship” in a 2020 interview. However, she claims things began to get to heavy, leading the pair to call it quits.

“We had such a great bond,” she said. “We was so lit. But it was just—the timing wasn’t right … He loves hard. He’s a lover. So, s### just got to the point where we need to just chill.”

Marvin Gaye III Accused Of Assault In Disturbing Lawsuit

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

Marvin Gaye III, the oldest son of music icon Marvin Gaye, faces serious accusations of assault and death threats, as detailed in a lawsuit filed by a woman identified only as Jane Doe.

According to legal documents, the lawsuit stems from an alleged altercation in January 2023 at Gaye’s Los Angeles home, where the plaintiff had reportedly gone to mediate an argument between Gaye and his now-estranged wife, Wendy.

Jane Doe claims her efforts to soothe tensions escalated into a dangerous encounter.

The court filing alleges Gaye physically attacked her, issued verbal threats of violence, and retrieved a firearm, which he allegedly pointed at her and Wendy.

The woman further accuses Gaye of engaging in a campaign of intimidation after the incident, including allegedly tampering with her vehicle by cutting its brake lines and enlisting associates to surveil her residence.

In the court documents, the plaintiff describes enduring profound emotional trauma as a result of these alleged actions.

She cites anxiety, depression, panic attacks, difficulty sleeping, and significant weight loss. She is seeking financial compensation in an amount to be determined by the court.

In a statement to Us Weekly, Gaye categorically denied the allegations. “No way did that happen. It’s all bulls**t. I wouldn’t do that. These are false claims,” he said.

By: Kyle EusticeCategory: Exclusives

Damon Dash, co-founder of Roc-A-Fella Records, continues to face mounting legal issues. According to documents obtained by AllHipHop, the plaintiffs suing the mogul—director Josh Webber and Muddy Water Pictures LLC—have submitted a request to Judge Robert Lehrburger in the Southern District of New York.

The letter pertains to the enforcement of two outstanding judgments totaling $823,284.71 against Dash. The Plaintiffs seek an order requiring Dash to produce corporate ownership documents related to his businesses—Lebanon Improvements LLC, Ocean East Improvements LLC, 1996 Songs LLC, and Blackroc LLC—and deliver them to the United States Marshal. Additionally, they request a court order for the sale of Dash’s personal jewelry, identified in Exhibit A, at a public auction to satisfy the judgments.

The pieces of jewelry include: one gold necklace, one gold “Dame” necklace, one gold “Dusko” necklace, one gold watch, three gold rings for the hand, two Roc-A-Fella necklaces, one set of diamond earrings and one set of gold earrings. He’s been seen wearing the various pieces of jewelry on social media.

The letter further cites New York legal provisions that allow for enforcement of money judgments against a debtor’s personal property, including corporate shares and transferable assets.

Dash’s ownership interests in businesses and high-value jewelry, as evidenced by social media posts and prior court decisions, are subject to execution and public sale.

The Plaintiffs argue that such sales are legally supported, referencing Dash’s promotion of Roc-A-Fella shares and associated jewelry. They request the court’s assistance in facilitating the execution and sale of these assets to fulfill the outstanding judgment debts.

Last October, the public auction was set for the following month. Proceeds from the auction were supposed to be allocated to numerous creditors, including $193,000 earmarked for child support and over $1.7 million for unpaid state taxes. Additional payments were to be reserved for Webber.

Photographer Monique Bunn had a $12,000 claim and further payments are to be directed to cover Dash’s outstanding state tax liabilities, which exceed $7 million overall. The auction follows ongoing tensions with fellow Roc-A-Fella co-founder JAY-Z. The former friends have been embroiled in a separate dispute over control of Hov’s 1996 album, Reasonable Doubt, Roc-A-Fella’s most valuable asset.

Dr. Dre’s Cousin Goes To Legal War Over Rapper Yo-Yo’s Album

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

Sir Jinx has once again entered the legal ring, this time leveling a lawsuit at some of the music industry’s biggest players.

The veteran music producer filed a suit against Warner Music Group, Universal Music Group, and Atlantic Recording Corp., alleging they owe him over $60,000 in uncollected royalties from his work on Yo-Yo’s debut album Make Way for the Motherlode.

The core of Sir Jinx’s complaint centers on unpaid compensation for beats he contributed to the 1991 album, which helped establish Yo-Yo as a leading voice in West Coast Hip-Hop.

According to court documents, Sir Jinx claims he notified the parties in September 2019 about the missing $62,090, only to see his grievances ignored.

Adding insult to injury, Sir Jinx says he paid income taxes on the money he expected to receive but never did. The lawsuit accuses the defendants of breach of contract, failing to act in good faith and unjust enrichment.

In addition to financial damages, Sir Jinx, now 54, is seeking an accounting of records to uncover where the royalties went.

With an illustrious career that spans decades, Sir Jinx is best known for his collaborations with Hip-Hop royalty.

A cousin of Dr. Dre, he first emerged as a member of the group C.I.A alongside Ice Cube in the 1980s.

He produced fan-favorite tracks on Ice Cube’s AmeriKKKa’s Most Wanted and Death Certificate, and his work on Kool G Rap’s Live and Let Die showcased his range as a producer.

The Grammy-winning artist, who last released an album in 2016, spent New Year’s Eve alongside her partner, A$AP Rocky, and their two young sons—RZA, 2, and Riot, 1.

The comments section of her video was flooded with speculation about her long-awaited ninth studio album, which fans have nicknamed R9.

One user exclaimed, “New album too huh,” while another joked, “I thought it was the countdown for the album drop.”

Despite years of teasing, Rihanna has not provided concrete details about new music, leaving fans eager for more.

Since the release of her critically acclaimed album, Anti, Rihanna has largely shifted her focus to her business ventures, including her widely profitable Fenty Beauty and Savage X Fenty brands.

While her absence from the music scene has been significant, moments like her Super Bowl halftime performance in early 2023 and her magnetic presence on social media have helped her remain a cultural icon.

Uncle Murda started the year with his fiery annual tradition, releasing the highly anticipated “Rap Up 2024.”

Like others in the past, this year’s version is a no-holds-barred lyrical roast dissecting Hip-Hop’s wildest moments, including the infamous Drake and Kendrick Lamar lyrical feud, Lil Durk getting arrested, Cardi B and Offset’s drama, Remy and Papoose beef, Diddy’s controversial lawsuits and Joe Budden’s now-infamous accidental nudity incident.

The “Rap Up 2024” weaved together sharp critiques of 2024’s Hip-Hop landscape, but Murda took aim at Diddy and his mounting legal troubles for the first two minutes of the song.

Uncle Murda referenced the infamous Diddy tape, Meek and Diddy’s matching outfits, the infamous “freak-offs” and the latest accusations against JAY-Z and Diddy.

Clocking in at 17 blistering minutes, the track hit streaming platforms as listeners were nursing their New Year’s champagne hangovers.

Once again, Uncle Murda proved that no headline was safe from his razor-sharp commentary.

Joe Budden, who was trending on December 31 for being caught on his neighbor’s Ring camera in the buff, couldn’t escape Murda’s crosshairs.

In true comedian-meets-storyteller fashion, Uncle Murda immortalized the awkward mishap hours after the news broke on AllHipHop.

“That’s crazy all the s### he be talking/He was on some kinda drugs he wasn’t sleepwalking,” Murda rapped, at the end, sliding in his signature humor and biting observations just in time for his January 1 release schedule.

He referenced “lame” Rick Ross and his widely meme’d knockout in Canada and gave a side-eye to the headline-grabbing antics of rising rapper Sexyy Red.

With 11 annual recaps under his belt, Uncle Murda’s “Rap Up 2024” offered yet another comedic deep dive into the chaos of the previous year.

Diplo Admits He’s Tripping Balls On Live Television During NYE Interview

By: Kyle EusticeCategory: News

Producer Diplo is buzzing on social media right now following a memorable and unconventional moment of live television on Tuesday (December 31). The surreal encounter unfolded during his virtual appearance on CNN’s New Year’s Eve special.

Diplo appeared uncharacteristically candid and vibrant, his words meandering into unexpected tangents about creativity, existentialism and the interconnectedness of music and the universe.

“I’m so curious, what’s the most conventional place that you’ve done LSD?” co-host Andy Cohen asked, to which Diplo replied, “Right now.”

He continued, “Yeah, I did some on the helicopter, on the way here.” Cohen, in disbelief, asked, “Oh my God, hold on. Hold on. Please tell me. You’re tripping right now?” to which Diplo replied, “It’s like a light trip.”

Diplo further explained he was simply “microdosing” but also could have “macrodosed” during the day.

While discussing his latest projects, including a groundbreaking album blending electronic and world music, Diplo continued to offer philosophical insights that left viewers and the anchor equally perplexed and amused. His vivid descriptions of soundscapes and colors suggested he was experiencing the heightened sensory awareness commonly associated with psychedelic substances.

The interview quickly became a viral sensation, sparking debates about the ethics and implications of broadcasting such a moment live. Critics questioned the professionalism of appearing on a major news platform under the influence, while fans celebrated it as a bold expression of artistry and authenticity.

After it was over, co-host Anderson Cooper said, “I wish I was Diplo. I got to say. I just think he has a fun, cool lifestyle. Can you imagine his lifestyle? ‘I’m Diplo. I do things.’” Cooper also told Cohen that he was “absolutely going to start” following Diplo on Instagram.

Diplo, later reflecting on the incident, humorously acknowledged his altered state, stating that it was a spur-of-the-moment decision inspired by his desire to “push boundaries in every aspect of life.”
