Kanye West has unveiled the tracklist for his upcoming album WW3, featuring inflammatory titles and lyrics that continue his pattern of antisemitic rhetoric and controversial imagery.
Unveiled on X Wednesday night (April 2), the 11-track project includes songs titled “Heil Hitler,” “Hitler Ye and Jesus,” and “Free Diddy,” with a guest appearance from rapper Dave Blunts on the opening track.
West, who has repeatedly praised Adolf Hitler and incorporated Nazi symbolism into his fashion and music, has described his new musical direction as “My new sound called antisemitic.”
Among the lyrics previewed last month from the album’s title track, West raps, “rocking swastikas ’cause all my n##### Nazis,” followed by, “They’re telling me that I’m a bully/I’m antisemitic, fully” and “Reading ‘Mein Kampf,’ two chapters before I go to sleep.”
The song also references West’s use of nitrous oxide, with lines like “Went to the dentist and got me some nitrous/Went to the dentist and put in some diamonds.”
Kanye West “WW3” Tracklist
The tracklist also includes “Cosby,” “Dirty Magazines,” “Bianca,” “Virgil Let Me Down,” “Jared,” “Money and Fame,” and “Nitrous.”
The song “Virgil” follows West lashing out at late fashion designer Virgil Abloh, expressing unresolved bitterness over Abloh’s success.
“Imagine a n#### steal your dream and is given your crown because he ain’t wear a red hat,” West tweeted earlier this week. “Then the culture you built mad at you speaking up on it.”
The inclusion of Dave Blunts on the album follows West’s recent public endorsement of the rapper.
“Dave Blunts is my favorite rapper,” West announced. “His raps give me the energy of my tweets.”
He also shared a private text exchange where he offered Blunts access to his personal trainer, writing, “We need you to stay alive.”
West’s recent antics have drawn intense criticism for promoting hate speech, including his repeated use of Nazi references and antisemitic statements. His latest album seemingly doubles down on those themes.
A torrent of allegations against a married couple in Indiana has shocked the community after the husband and wife were accused of egregious crimes involving minors.
According to a report from KHOU11, prosecutors allege that Brittany Fortinberry, a former schoolteacher, engaged in sexual relationships with multiple teenage boys. Additionally, her husband, Nicholas Fortinberry, is accused of not only being aware of the abuse but also allegedly threatening victims into silence. Court documents paint a harrowing picture of Brittany’s alleged actions.
She’s accused of sexually abusing at least ten students while employed at schools in Morgan County. According to investigators, she provided drugs to middle school boys and coerced them into sexual encounters. One victim recounted being repeatedly drugged and assaulted by Brittany when he was just 13 years old.
In a particularly grotesque claim, one of the boys said Brittany would put her own children to bed before initiating encounters with the teens. Another victim alleged that after her arrest in a separate misconduct investigation, Brittany reached out to him and spent $600 on a group of teens for various purchases before engaging in group sex with them. Shockingly, she reportedly made the boys wear the mask from the horror movie “Scream” during these acts and allegedly threatened to kill herself if they reported her.
Other allegations detail a pattern of predatory behavior. Brittany allegedly paid teenage boys between $100 and $800 for explicit photos, sent nude images and videos through Snapchat and another app called “Session.” She is also accused of having forced boys into sexual acts despite their resistance, reportedly telling them, “Just let it happen.” One victim claimed Brittany exploited a teenager who had been asked to babysit her children, coercing him into a sexual relationship and exchanging sexual favors for material goods for other teens.
While Brittany’s alleged crimes are horrifying on their own, prosecutors say her husband Nicholas also played a disturbing role in enabling the abuse. Investigators claim Nicholas knew what his wife was doing and took extreme measures to keep her victims silent. One victim, a 13-year-old boy, recounted an incident where Nicholas directly threatened him.
“If you don’t stop what you’re doing with my wife, then I’m going to kill you in front of your family,” an investigator quoted Nicholas as saying in court documents. Nicholas allegedly added, “Do not continue to do what you’re doing with my wife until you turn 16.”
Authorities believe Nicholas was aware of his wife’s actions but failed to report them, leading to charges of intimidation and failure to report. Despite the severity of the allegations, he was released on a mere $600 bond.
The sheer magnitude of Brittany’s alleged offenses prompted prosecutors to file an extensive list of charges. In addition to previous charges, she now faces ten counts of child molestation, eight counts of dissemination of matter harmful to minors, five counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, and one count of sexual misconduct with a minor.
As more parents of victims have come forward, law enforcement has uncovered even more shocking details. The Department of Child Services launched an investigation that led to the discovery of numerous additional victims who had remained silent, highlighting the alarming scale of Brittany’s alleged predation.
Local school districts where Brittany was previously employed have released statements in response to the unfolding scandal. The Metropolitan School District of Martinsville confirmed that Brittany worked as a substitute teacher from October 2023 until her resignation in January 2024, emphasizing that no misconduct had been reported during her tenure. Eminence Community Schools, where Brittany briefly worked as a middle school math teacher, revealed that they were alerted to allegations on August 22, 2024 and immediately reported the matter to authorities. Brittany was suspended that same night and her employment was officially terminated the following morning after she submitted a resignation.
Experts warn that while sexual abuse cases involving authority figures are not uncommon, cases involving male victims often go unreported. Kristina Korobov, a senior attorney for the Zero Abuse Project, emphasized the need to take such allegations seriously, stating, “There is nothing sexual about what happens to these kids. It is a violation and it’s an exploitation.”
Young Thug reposted a banned image of a testifying gang investigator and called her “the biggest liar in the DA’s office” — and now prosecutors want his probation revoked, citing what they call an escalating campaign of intimidation that has endangered lives and could derail justice.
Young Thug is facing potential jail time after Fulton County prosecutors accused him of targeting a key witness and inciting threats against law enforcement figures, including District Attorney Fani Willis.
In a motion filed on April 2, 2025, by the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office, Fani Willis asked Judge Paige Whitaker to revoke Young Thug’s probation, citing what it described as a “blatant disregard for the law, the safety of witnesses, and the integrity of judicial proceedings.”
The allegations stem from a social media post Young Thug shared on April 1.
The post included a photograph of Investigator Marissa Viverito, who was in the middle of testifying during a high-profile, multi-defendant gang murder hearing.
A judge had specifically ordered that her image not be shown. But a blogger defied that order and Young Thug reposted it with a caption that read: “Marissa Viverito is the biggest liar in the DA’s office.” The post quickly racked up more than two million views, sparking a wave of online vitriol — including threats against Viverito and her family.
One of those threats included a direct incitement to violence: “If the hate is really real, then pull up on her mama crib,” paired with a photo of the investigator’s mother’s home.
Her home address and her parents’ address were posted publicly soon after. Just hours later, the threats escalated even further.
A different social media account posted a message threatening the life of Fulton County DA Fani Willis: “I will personally make sure Fani Willis is assassinated.”
Prosecutors included that post as an exhibit in the filing and tied the online activity directly to Williams’ influence and online reach.
“This is not an isolated incident,” Willis wrote. “It is part of a calculated campaign of intimidation, harassment, and misinformation designed to undermine the legal process.”
Prosecutors argue that Williams has continued associating with individuals who use digital platforms to intimidate witnesses and public officials, pushing a narrative that undermines the court and its personnel’s credibility.
Williams, who previously pleaded guilty and was placed on probation on October 31, 2024, was ordered to have no contact with the victims or their families.
But his online activity and association with those promoting threats, prosecutors argue, violate those terms and justify immediate revocation of his probation.
“Failure to act decisively will only encourage further attempts to threaten, harass, and intimidate those involved in this case,” Fani Willis warned.
They emphasized that Young Thug’s global reach amplifies the danger, referencing his own admission during his October 2024 hearing. “I understand how it could be twisted. I understand what it could do to the mind of people,” Young Thug told the court back then. “I promise you I am 100 percent changing that… I am smarter. It’s more things to rap about.”
Judge Whitaker had acknowledged the rapper’s wide-reaching influence during sentencing, likening the rap industry’s public-facing drama to professional wrestling and reminding Young Thug that his words have consequences beyond music.
Young Thug is already trying to damage control, but it may be too late.
“I don’t make treats [sic] to people I’m a good person, I would never condone anyone threatening anyone or definitely participate in threatening anyone. I’m all about peace and love,” the rap star posted in response to the State’s call to lock him up.
I don’t make treats to people I’m a good person, I would never condone anyone threatening anyone or definitely participate in threatening anyone. I’m all about peace and love
However, the state argues that Young Thug has betrayed that trust and turned his platform into a weapon against the judicial system.
In addition to revoking his probation, prosecutors are also asking the court to hold Young Thug financially accountable for the security resources deployed to protect those targeted.
An additional 20 years are “backloaded,” meaning they will only be served if he violates his probation terms. A hearing date for the state’s revocation motion has not yet been publicly scheduled.
[Young Thug’s] probation should be immediately revoked to prevent further harm, ensure compliance with the law, and send a clear message that witness intimidation and threats against public officials will not be tolerated,” Fani Willis said. “The State urges this Court to take swift and decisive action by revoking [Young Thug’s] probation.”
Demetria Spence was granted bond Wednesday (April 2) in Atlanta after police say her bogus 911 call triggered a deadly chain of events that ended with the death of Hip-Hop artist Young Scooter.
Authorities say her fabricated emergency report sent officers to a Lakewood Heights home, where chaos unfolded and led to the rapper’s death on March 28, the same day he celebrated his 39th birthday.
The judge set her bond at $7,500.
As part of her release, Spence must avoid the scene of the incident, cannot possess any weapons and is barred from contacting witnesses.
The call, which police now say was likely a case of swatting, came from a 911-only phone. The device can make emergency calls but lacks a service plan, making it nearly impossible to trace.
Swatting is a dangerous prank where someone falsely reports a violent emergency to dispatch armed police to a specific location. The tactic has become increasingly common and has proven deadly in several cases across the country.
In this case, the caller claimed there were seven men inside a home on William Nye Drive, that she heard gunshots and saw a naked woman with a baby being thrown outside.
“Okay so I’m just I’m the neighborhood watch call 911 reporting a shooting there is a literally a whole domestic dispute going on there’s like seven guys that live in his house,” the caller said.
She went on to claim, “The guys are selling drugs out of the home all you see is guys coming in and out of the house with guns then claiming a naked woman was thrown outside it sounded like they were fighting over drugs and then they started shooting.”
The caller also alleged the woman was bleeding and being held against her will.
But when officers arrived, they found no woman, no baby and no signs of a domestic dispute. Police knocked on the door and a man inside slammed it shut before fleeing.
That man was later identified as Young Scooter. He ran from the home, jumped two fences, cut his leg on wood and was injured in the process.
Young Scooter later died at Grady Hospital from those injuries. Spence was arrested in Atlanta and booked on charges related to the false report.
Police say her actions directly contributed to the events that led to Young Scooter’s death.
Damon Wayans used a surprising metaphor to describe his interpretations of Kanye West’s recent social media rants.
During his appearance on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay podcast, the Hollywood star name checked multiple celebrities, such as LeBron James, Cuba Gooding Jr. and Tom Cruise, among others. One of his most interesting and likely controversial takes arrived once he and Sharpe began reflecting on West recent disturbing rants on Twitter and other social media platforms.
Seemingly using the sandwich method, Wayans slapped the good together with the bad while speaking on his thoughts about West’s abrasive rhetoric.
“I love Kanye, you know, and people are mad at him, you know, what he’s doing is wild,” Wayans said in part before making the comparison between West and unhoused individuals. “But, you know, when you see a homeless person in the street and they’re talking to themselves, you can’t be mad at them, something’s wrong, they’re sick. Right.”
"What Kanye is doing is wild, but when you see a homeless person in the street and they're talking to themselves, you can't be mad at them. Something is wrong. They are sick. Kanye, something is wrong with him. I don't listen to the homeless man yelling stuff and think, 'Oh, he… pic.twitter.com/2aUArFOdMX
Wayans also challenged public perception of West’s ramped-up rants and the stigma surrounding individuals exhibiting signs of a mental health crisis.
“Kanye, something’s wrong with him, you know, and people—I don’t listen to the homeless man yelling stuff and think, ‘oh, he mean that?'” he said. “Right. He don’t mean that. It’s just coming out.”
“Somebody, you know, you need an uncle,” he said. “Right. Grab him. ‘Hey, come here, boy, let me talk to you. You don’t say that. You don’t do that’. Somebody who he loves and respects. Right. Does he have that in his life? I don’t know.”
In the end, though, Wayans did give West his flowers while remarking on the legacy his illustrious discography boasts.
“But I love Kanye,” he said. “He’s a musical genius.”
Wayans’ assessment of West’s words follows yet another barrage of tweets targeting his contemporaries such as Drake, J. Cole, Future, Playboi Carti and the late Virgil Abloh.
Tupac Shakur’s estate is now at the center of a federal lawsuit over claims it stole a powerful political speech and used it without permission.
The lawsuit comes from the estate of Dr. Khallid Abdul Muhammad, who says Shakur’s 1996 track “White Man’z World” illegally sampled Muhammad’s copyrighted speech.
The suit doesn’t just name Shakur’s estate—it also targets Suge Knight, Interscope Records, Death Row Records, Universal’s publishing arm and producer Darryl “Big D” Harper.
According to the complaint, the Tupac Shakur’s team lifted a seven-line excerpt from a 1993 lecture Muhammad gave at the “Black Holocaust Nationhood Conference.”
That speech included a direct call to support political prisoners.
That clip ended up on “White Man’z World,” a standout track from The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory, released just weeks after Shakur was shot and killed in Las Vegas in September 1996 at the age of 25.
The album dropped on November 5 of that year under his alias, Makaveli.
Meanwhile, Dr. Khallid Muhammad, a firebrand orator and former national spokesman for Minister Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam, died from a brain aneurysm in 2001. He was 53.
Muhammad had become a well-known figure for his Black nationalist views and later served as chairman of the New Black Panther Party.
The lawsuit argues that Muhammad’s voice wasn’t just background noise. In fact, it asserts that his speech gave the song emotional weight and political urgency.
The estate says that Tupac’s team never requested a license, gave credit, or paid a dime. Moreover, the complaint says the sample is still being used commercially today.
“White Man’z World” is currently available on streaming platforms, featured on radio, and licensed for various forms of distribution.
According to the estate, that ongoing use only deepens the infringement.
“His presence on ‘White Manz World’ reinforces Tupac Shakur’s role as not just an artist, but as a voice for Black empowerment and resistance against oppression. At a time when hip-hop was a leading force in shaping political discourse among Black youth, Dr. Khallid’s inclusion gave ‘White Manz World’ an undeniable authenticity, elevating it beyond music into a revolutionary message against racial injustice,” lawyer Malik Z. Shabazz explained.
Furthermore, the estate insists that the defendants had access to public records showing the speech was protected.
The suit demands at least $5 million.
In addition, it seeks a permanent injunction to block further exploitation of Muhammad’s voice, attorneys’ fees and the impoundment of infringing materials.
Yo, what’s good, family? Illseed here, tapping in with a quick update on a troubling movement that’s got Tennessee (and those in the know) on edge. Now listen, this isn’t your granddad’s KKK—this is something slicker, more organized and deeply embedded in America’s backyard. They’re calling themselves “Patriot Front,” wrapping themselves in the flag and calling it patriotism. But underneath all those stars and stripes is nothing but old-school hate, rebranded.
NewsChannel 5 just blew the lid off this thing in Tennessee, finding out Patriot Front’s been quietly building compounds, training soldiers and preparing for what looks like war. These dudes aren’t joking around. They’re out here marching through downtown Nashville and hiding behind masks, of course. Some stuff never changes. There are reports of them popping out the back of rental trucks like some menace of a flash mobs. This is white nationalism masked in patriotism.
Jeff Tischauser from the Southern Poverty Law Center broke it down: these are hardcore white supremacists aiming to carve out a “white ethno-state” in the U.S. Their leader, a 26-year-old named Thomas Rousseau, openly says, “We’re Americans, not White Americans—’cause there ain’t no other kind of Americans than those who are White and from Europe.” Oh really?
Last fall, antifascist activists tried to push back against a white supremacist meetup at Montgomery Bell State Park, not far from Nashville. But authorities seemed to be working with the racists. Protestors were kept out. Jared Taylor, the organizer of American Renaissance Conference (more reported racists) said the attendees were just “thoughtful Americans” concerned about the country’s direction. Man, that’s just coded language. Rousseau himself was there.
Cue up Joe Biden please…
Patriot Front is not all that new. They came up from the chaos of Charlottesville in 2017. , The “Unite the Right” of 2017 rally was a white supremacist convening that took place in Charlottesville. Now they are branded Vanguard America after one of their own killed Heather Heyer, a white woman. Now they’re on college campuses, flooding neighborhoods with racist stickers, flyers, graffiti—you name it. Law enforcement’s keeping tabs, but it’s a dangerous game as these dudes keep upping their tactics, staying organized, and staying dangerous.
Stay woke! Don’t let them change the meaning! Patriot Front wears patriotism as a mask, but hate is hate. You can’t hide that.
This time BET is tapping into Gen Z star power with Keke Palmer and Kai Cenat. The pair are stepping in as the brand new, but not all that new, hosts set to revive one of Hip-Hop’s most beloved platforms. I feel like I was watching this when I was a child.
Launched in 2000, before any kid now, 106 & Park quickly became the heartbeat of Black teen culture and also Hip-Hop fans. It was the BET version of MTV’s TRL. The show captivated millions daily and I was one of them. This was the PLACE for music videos, exclusive interviews, and a crazy crowd. The show was originally fronted by iconic duo AJ and Free. We’ll always love them. And then there was Terrence J and Rocsi Diaz, who we loved too. And, there were some other hosts too.
But let’s get to now.
Now, BET has announced—presumably—actress and Palmer and streaming sensation Kai Cenat are coming! Cenat is a powerhouse that brings the online generation directly into BET’s fold. And while I am looking for Free still, because she still bad af…it’s a new day.
Back to 2025. Rumors of the show’s revival had been swirling for months, especially after BET’s recent successes with nostalgic comebacks. Peke Palmer teased the announcement that was non-specific: “Y’all aren’t ready for what’s next!” Cenat’s involvement makes sense to me, if not the industry clowns that are looking at tradition.
Sources suggest the revamped 106 & Park will blend the traditional countdown and celebrity interviews with social media segments and viral content. We’ll see.
Jozzy has her followers on Instagram scrambling to confirm whether or not she is doing okay after sharing a distressing post chronicling a personal issue, which grabbed the attention of SZA.
On Monday (March 31) the singer/songwriter shared a video with her followers breaking down why she was on the brink of crashing out. To make a long summation short, Jozzy laid out the conflict she is currently going through with her significant other after they blocked her due to a disagreement.
“I’m f###### losing it right now, bro,” Jozzy said in part. “I really think I just lost my girl. Shawty has blocked me on everything. She done blocked me in every way. I can’t even email like literally.
Jozzy then broke down what the source of friction between her and her girl was in the first place. “Keep my phone face down,” she said. “It’s not this. It’s not that doesn’t mean I’m cheating. It’s just really a natural habit that I be doing because n##### be calling me. She don’t really trip…She tripped for that. I don’t know why.”
Jozzy then reveals that her next move, which she made in good faith thinking she could do no wrong, blew up in her face.
“But we promised we was never looking at each other’s phones, but I gave in because I know I ain’t really doing nothing,” she said. “It’s the first time I’m really being very above board.”
From there, things seem to get fishy, as Jozzy details how her partner seemingly freaked out over a text exchange with an unnamed artist, leading to a heated arguement.
“And she sees this artist that text me,” she said. “She text me like late or whatever, but it was on some music s###. We artists. This is what we do. Shawty went crazy over this muthafucka. You would have thought that we was talking some crazy s###.”
Jozzy says she attempted to allow things to blow over, but that didn’t pan out the way she thought it would, either.
“She went crazy,” she said. “I’, just like I’m gonna give her a time. She’s gonna go home. She’s gonna sleep it off. All right. She has blocked me on everything bro.”
While admitting she wanted “to crash the f### out” Jozzy also made it clear that the post was meant to grab the attention of her significant other. However, instead, it clocked on SZA’s radar and prompted her to share her speculative, yet sympathetic response.
“Lmao I have no idea if this is real or not but I hope she come back cause this not the jozzy I know,” SZA exclaimed. “Love wins gang.”
In a follow-up comment, SZA suggested Jozzy set up boundaries for her communications regarding work to avoid a similar occurrence from transpiring in the future.
“Also no artist texts after 10/11pm 🤷🏾♀️ anything they got can wait til the am I figure,” she wrote. “That way it won’t cut into your private cuddle time !! 🥹 u got this jozzyyyy.”
While its too early too determine whether or not this is a true story or if it’s simply just the beginning of a rollout campaign for a new single, its clear that Jozzy has SZA and her followers on the edges of their seats waiting to find out!
Drake has secured a major legal win in his ongoing battle with you Universal Music Group (UMG).
On Wednesday (April 2), Judge Jeanette Vargas ruled in favor of Drake’s legal team, beginning the discovery process in his lawsuit against UMG over his claims regarding Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” during a pre-trial conference in a New York courtroom.
Now, the Toronto native’s legal counsel can begin requesting document production and conducting depositions with key executives at UMG as a result of the record labels motion to delay discovery being denied.
Immediately following the ruling, AllHipHop obtained a brief statement from Drake’s lead attorney, Michael Gottlieb.
“Now it’s time to see what UMG was so desperately trying to hide,” Gottlieb wrote in the statement.
The lates ruling follows weeks of bitter back-and-forth dialogue between both Drake’s legal team and UMG, via a string of legal filings. On March 17, Gottlieb called UMG “greedy” and “desperate” in response to the 32-page legal document UMG filed in which it categorized Drake’s lawsuit as an “unfounded complaint.”
“UMG wants to pretend that this is about a rap battle in order to distract its shareholders, artists and the public from a simple truth: a greedy company is finally being held responsible for profiting from dangerous misinformation that has already resulted in multiple acts of violence,” Gottlieb’s statement reads in part.
Additionally, on March 20, Drake’s legal team filed a court document which argued that UMG’s attempt to dismiss the defamation lawsuit relies on a flawed legal precedent, specifically, Michael Rapaport’s failed defamation case against Barstool Sports. While Rapaport’s case was dismissed because the court ruled that no reasonable person would interpret Barstool’s over-the-top attacks as literal truth, Drake’s attorneys argue that millions of people worldwide did, in fact, take Kendrick’s lyrics seriously.
Sean “Diddy” Combs’ former bodyguard, Gene Deal didn’t hold back when calling out Stevie J’s recent “gangster” image and accused the music producer of drug use while disputing his account of the night The Notorious B.I.G. was murdered in Los Angeles.
Deal said he once protected Stevie J during their time in New York and considered him “like a little nephew.”
However, after Stevie J’s recent remarks downplaying their relationship, claiming Deal exaggerates his role and fabricating stories about their past interactions, Deal fired back.
“I don’t know when he became a gangster,” Deal said during an interview with Art of Dialogue. “Stevie J better sit his little ass down.”
Deal noted Stevie J was in the car directly behind Biggie’s SUV when the rapper was gunned down in 1997.
Gene Deal challenged Stevie J’s version of events, saying the night was anything but ordinary due to the ongoing East Coast-West Coast tension.
“He need to stop that, bro,” Deal said. “He talking to people who was in the streets that was gangsters. And I’m just giving him like a formal, you know, chastising to somebody that once used to care about him. You know it’s the drugs, bro.”
Deal alleged that both Stevie J and Ma$e were warned by Crips about a potential threat to Diddy and Biggie before the shooting but failed to pass that information along. That, he said, made Stevie J’s “regular night” comment even more frustrating.
Adding to the tension, Stevie J previously dismissed Deal’s claims, saying he doesn’t know him and suggesting Deal is exaggerating their past for attention.
Lil Baby has a problem. As soon as Young Thug was off the hook, so to speak, I knew something was gonna happen next. And that next was the potential arrest of Lil Baby on RICO charges. Man, how did we get here? The year started off so well….
Now these RICO rumors are not new, at least in the streets. But they are certainly getting loud right now. Every TikTok goof ball is making a video and pontificating on their so-called platforms. It’s almost like people want him to be arrested. But there’s a lot of smoke right now around his situation.
He dropped a new album, and I think maybe that was supposed to provide cover? I don’t know, but it’s not working. Most recently, and very much so allegedly, there was audio released where Lil Baby apparently put money on somebody’s head.
A report in The Atlanta Objectivethat was published just a few days ago said that Lil Baby is almost guaranteed to be charged with RICO, targeting two gangs there in Atlanta. There’s also allegedly a video of Lil Baby putting in his own work with a Drakeo—and I don’t mean the rapper.
According to a deep dive by veteran reporter George Chidi, things are heating up, and it might soon be raining indictments on Lil Baby and his affiliates from OMF (Only My Family) and the notorious 4PF (Four Pockets Full). Goodness.
Shawn Hoover, the top guy at Georgia Public Defender’s gang-focused legal squad, didn’t mince words about the situation. Hoover openly acknowledged they’re “actively preparing” for serious racketeering charges. Lil Baby could be famous for all the wrong reasons.
The gruesome murder of Keiontay Davis last Friday (March 28) brought all of this to a head. Davis was neck-deep in the legal drama surrounding the 2022 murder of Jaquavious Wilson, 26, another tragic death in the deadly feud between OMF and 4PF. This is deeper than rap, people.
People tell me Wilson was set to testify before pleading guilty to lesser charges, avoiding harsher penalties. But flipping has consequences! Authorities say Wilson had targets on his back from both street tribes. OMF wanted revenge and 4PF wanted to shut him up. Nathan “4PF Nate” Benford recently landed a 20-year sentence after a guilty plea.
Lil Baby has done his darnest to distance himself from the mess. He even shut down 4PF as a label back in 2023, but calling it Glass Window Entertainment won’t do it when the Feds are involved. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation hasn’t forgotten what they believe are real gang affiliations. They say there’s a link between 4PF and the Crips.
Lil Baby hasn’t said much, but he did say something. When pressed by a fan on Instagram about the potential RICO charges, he reportedly said, “ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE ME.”
Oddly, he had a song called “Dum, Dumb and Dumber.” You can’t make this up.
Donald Trump gave his stamp of approval to his former daughter-in-law, Vanessa Trump’s relationship with golf icon Tiger Woods.
He addressed the new romance during a White House video released on YouTube, calling both of them “great” and championing their future together.
“I love Tiger and I love Vanessa,” Trump said in the clip, revealing that Woods had reached out to him “a few months ago.”
Trump went on to describe his rapport with the 15-time major champion, saying he has a “very special, very good relationship with Tiger.”
He added, “I played golf with him a couple of times over the last month, and he’s a fantastic guy and a fantastic athlete.”
Trump revealed Woods personally told him about the relationship.
“I said, ‘Tiger, that’s good, that’s good,'” he recounted. “I’m very happy for both. Just let them both be happy.”
Woods confirmed the relationship publicly on Instagram last month.
“Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side!” he wrote. “We look forward to our journey through life together.”
Vanessa Trump was previously married to Donald Trump Jr. for 13 years before finalizing their divorce in 2018. The former couple shares five children.
The pair reportedly began dating in November 2024, with speculation circulating earlier this year before Woods made it official on social media.
Tiger Woods and Donald Trump have a long-standing friendship, often seen golfing together over the years. Trump awarded Woods the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2019.
Young Scooter‘s death following a hoax 911 call has prompted a public statement from his grieving family while the woman accused of triggering the fatal police response remains behind bars in Atlanta.
The rapper’s relatives, speaking through a publicist, addressed the tragedy on the day authorities arrested 31-year-old Demetria Spence for allegedly fabricating a violent emergency that led to Scooter’s accidental death.
“We are completely devastated by the loss of Kenneth’ Young Scooter’ Bailey and are currently still waiting for more information to understand the circumstance,” the family said in a statement shared with FOX 5 Atlanta.
Spence was charged under Georgia law with “transmitting a false public alarm” in a case where serious injury or death resulted from a public safety response.
According to police, Spence called 911 on March 28, claiming to be part of a neighborhood watch. She described a chaotic scene involving gunfire, a naked woman bleeding from the head, and men allegedly involved in drug and sex trafficking. The caller claimed they heard three shots.
“She ran outside naked, and then he was fighting her outside,” the caller told the dispatcher. “She tried to get away. He dragged her back in the house… she’s being held hostage.”
But when officers arrived at the southwest Atlanta home, they found no signs of gunfire or any woman matching the caller’s description.
Two men fled the scene. One returned inside, while Kenneth Bailey, known as Young Scooter, attempted to escape by jumping over fences. He suffered a deep leg wound from wooden debris and later died from blood loss.
The Fulton County Medical Examiner ruled his death accidental.
The 911 recordings were released publicly on March 31 in an effort to identify the caller. Spence, an aspiring reality TV star, was arrested the next day and is currently held at Fulton County Jail. Authorities have not revealed a motive for the false report.
Scooter’s family described him as more than an artist, calling him a devoted father and a mentor to Atlanta’s youth.
“Young Scooter was more than just a hip hop artist,” the family said. “He was a phenomenal father and mentor to a lot of Atlanta youth pursuing both sports and music. Scooter was their advocate and support system. He always encouraged his children and the youth to pursue their dreams no matter what.”
They also thanked the public for their support. “The family is grateful for the outpouring of support and love from the city and all over the country. At this time, they are requesting privacy and prayers as they grieve and wait for answers.”
Spence was taken into custody on Tuesday (April 1).

At one point, Jonathan Majors, now 35, was everywhere. The Texas-born actor launched into Hollywood royalty with critically acclaimed performances in The Last Black Man in San Francisco, Lovecraft Country, Creed II and the commanding, instantly iconic Kang the Conqueror in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Through his work, he quickly became synonymous with Black Excellence. But faster than his skyrocket, Majors was grounded the courts of public opinion and the legal system. Both his career and reputation were put on pause.
In the court of public opinion, few actors have had such a swift shift from “next big thing” to question mark. But that’s not where Jonathan Majors’ story ends. Not even close.
Enter Magazine Dreams. The Yale School of Drama grad’s latest is a raw, heart-wrenching performance that pushes the boundaries of character acting. Majors reintroduces himself not only as an artist but as a man in evolution. He’s training again, not just for roles but for a new life. He speaks to Chuck Jigsaw Creekmur with a quiet intensity, full of introspection, spiritual reckoning, and a newfound focus on love, legacy, and healing.
In this deeply personal conversation with AllHipHop, Majors opens up about the emotional and physical demands of Magazine Dreams, the complexities of being a Black man in America, spiritual healing through hypnosis, and his creative future. Furthermore, he discusses “working” alongside his partner and new wife, actress Megan Good. He even gives us his Top 5 dead-or-alive MCs, and trust—it’s not the list you’d expect.
This isn’t a comeback. It’s more of a continuation and a new chapter. Jonathan Majors may be walking between controversy and redemption, but seems to be doing it with purpose and definitely with an uncanny talent.
AllHipHop: What’s going on, everybody? It’s your man Chuck Creekmur, aka Jigsaw, and I’m here with a modern-day G.O.A.T.—Jonathan Majors. How you doing, man?
Jonathan Majors: I’m really, really good, brother. Blessed. Good to see you, man. Nice to meet you.
AllHipHop: You too, man. I’m a huge fan—I’m not even going to lie. This is a real treat. I have to admit, Magazine Dreams feels like your magnum opus. Apex acting. I saw it and cried. Even in the car on the way home, I was tearing up. First off, spiritually and mentally—are things clicking now?
Jonathan Majors: We’re firing on all cylinders, man. And I’ve got a great backup. She’s holding me down, and I’m just happy. I’m really happy.
AllHipHop: That’s beautiful. Now, looking at the complexity of Killian Maddox—physically, mentally, emotionally—did you take any special steps to prepare for this role that differed from others?
Jonathan Majors: Yes. When I first read the script, I thought, “This is it.” Some roles require everything. You don’t want to overdo it, but with Killian, I threw everything at it—and then had to go find more. I worked with my godmother, Michelle Shea, on the psychology. I realized Killian is like a superhero—he feels deeply and pushes his body beyond limits. That physical intensity became a kind of rehearsal. It was the first time I fully connected body and mind in the work. The training and emotional depth were both extreme—and deeply connected.
AllHipHop: Director Elijah Bynum—gotta put some respect on his name—did an amazing job. He said the film is more about the human experience than a racial one. I agree, but I also felt triggered by certain scenes, like the police interaction. You’ve said this story is uniquely Black in a cinematic sense. Can you elaborate?
Jonathan Majors: Absolutely. Elijah is right—it’s a human story. But also, humanity is experienced through groups, cultures, tribes. Killian is navigating a world where he’s an outlier—neurodivergent, physically exceptional, emotionally scarred. That makes him a minority in many ways. And then there’s the Black experience. You see very few other Black people in his world. Being Black is part of the human experience, but it comes with different obstacles. People judge you before knowing your name. So yes, it’s a human story—but a specifically human story from a Black lens.
AllHipHop: I was watching your Breakfast Club interview—shout out to them—and you mentioned hypnosis as part of your healing journey. They didn’t follow up, but I caught that. Can you expand on it?
Jonathan Majors: Yeah. I met a hypnotist in Hawaii while visiting my father-in-law. She had an office in L.A., and I was assembling my healing team. It was Christian-based, and she said all the right things. We never got to full hypnosis, but we did go deep—into the mind, into vulnerable spaces. The mind is powerful. You start saying things you didn’t know were inside you. That unlocked new doors for healing and growth. It was just one session, but it was impactful.
AllHipHop: I’m a lifelong comic nerd—The Incredible Hulk’s my favorite. When you got the role of Kang, I was hyped. He’s another complex character. Did you prepare differently for him?
Jonathan Majors: Definitely. Kang—and all his variants—is a layered role. For Kang Prime in Quantumania, I researched real-world conquerors and tyrants. That gave me emotional and psychological grounding. Then I did the comic book homework. I also used masks from my theater background—each mask had a different energy, stacked like layers. Kang is a composite of all those energies. When I played Victor Timely, he was already within that Kang mask. It was deep work—but fun.
AllHipHop: Off the record—or on the record—my podcast The Certified Squad is starting the petition to bring you back to the Marvel Universe. You don’t have to comment, I’m just putting that out there.
Jonathan Majors: (Laughs) I hear you.
AllHipHop: If you could relive any year of your life—without changing anything—what year would it be?
Jonathan Majors: 2014. The year my daughter was born. I’d love to relive that first year with her.
AllHipHop: Right now, with everything you’ve been through, what does success look like to you? Jonathan Majors: Waking up rested. Kissing my wife. Hitting the gym. Stimulating my mind and body. Spending time with my wife and dogs. Making meaningful art that touches people. That’s success. And I’ve prayed—if this isn’t what I’m meant to do, take the desire away. But it keeps growing. So I know something big is coming. We’ve got two projects on deck. I can’t wait to share them.
AllHipHop: That’s dope. Megan’s in the DC Universe, you were in Marvel… maybe you’re building a new universe together?
Jonathan Majors: (Laughs) We are building a universe. I’d do anything with her. We’re already in the best movie—life. We work really well together. She helps me, I help her—it’s mutual. We’re in love, we believe in each other. So yeah, something is definitely going to happen creatively.
AllHipHop: Can you talk briefly about your upcoming projects?
Jonathan Majors: Sure. One is a sci-fi thriller drama called Merciless, directed by Martin Villeneuve—we shoot that soon. Another is about a CIA agent who gets pulled into a dark spiritual realm and must save his wife. It’s about how far a man will go for love. The third is a full-on action film—think The Raid. Gerard McMurray is directing. It’s for the culture. No blue screens—I start training next week. It’s going to be real.
AllHipHop: Are you into Hip-Hop?
Jonathan Majors: Am I into Hip-Hop? Absolutely. No question.
AllHipHop: Bet. So what’s your Top 5—dead or alive?
Jonathan Majors: Pac. Nipsey. Kendrick. Nas. Cam’ron.
AllHipHop: Cam! That’s dope. Got a favorite Cam track?
Jonathan Majors: Usually the last one I listened to. I’m on a Cam run right now. And also—can I add Jadakiss? And Scarface. That’s my six.
AllHipHop: Solid. Hey man, I just want to say—I hope I get to shake your hand one day. I’m proud of you. Life’s a journey, and we all stumble. But you’ve done the work. You’ve earned your flowers. We talk about Denzel and Sidney, but right now, in this moment? You’re a G.O.A.T. I’ve truly enjoyed your work.
Jonathan Majors: Thank you, brother. That means a lot.
Kanye West reignited tensions with the Kardashian family after blasting Khloé for reposting a photo of his daughter North West, accusing her and her famous family of manipulating and exploiting his children.
The controversial rapper reposted a Snapchat from Khloé Kardashian featuring the 11-year-old girl. She captioned the post, “North looks so grown up!!”
However, West used the moment to launch a scathing attack on the Kardashian clan.
“It’s difficult when you know you’re children are being indoctrinated and used,” West wrote. “People know why I went crazy. Now I’m in a place where I have to dissociate or go to jail.
“And I bet not one Kamala supporting pro black celebrity say anything on me or my kids behalf. If a group of prominent black stars stood up I could save my kids from all this. Yall watch these white and white passing women run use indoctrinate and traffic these black kids and tell me ‘this is what I signed up for.'”
Kanye West Bashes Kim & Kardashian Family
This isn’t West’s first time publicly accusing his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, and her family of misconduct.
In a recent social media tirade, he alleged, “I AM 100 PERCENT CONVINCED THAT MY CHILDREN ARE IN A SEX TRAFFICKING RING” and claimed, “THE KARDASHIANS ARE SEX WORKERS, AND THEY SEX TRAFFIC ALL OF THE BLACK CHILDREN THEY STRATEGICALLY PRODUCE.”
He also directly named Kim, writing, “KIM KARDASHIAN IS A SEX TRAFFICKER.”
West has repeatedly voiced concern over how his daughter is presented in public, especially after she appeared in an FKA Twigs music video.
“Kim Kardashian is a sex worker,” he alleged. “I don’t like that Twigs has my daughter in her video dressing all grown. I would have expected more from Twigs.”
During a recent interview, West expressed regret over having children with Kim Kardashian.
“My kids are celebrities and I don’t have the say so,” he said. “So this white woman and this white family have the control of these highly influential black kids that are half the children of Ye.”
Kanye West and Kim Kardashian finalized their divorce in 2022. They share four children: North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm.
Soulja Boy denied rape allegations in a Los Angeles courtroom this week as he took the stand in a civil trial, telling jurors he “never” raped the woman accusing him of years of abuse during her time as his personal assistant.
The Atlanta rapper, born DeAndre Cortez Way, acknowledged a sexual encounter with the plaintiff, identified as Jane Doe, during a police raid at his home in February 2019 but insisted the interaction was consensual, per Rolling Stone.
“I asked her if she wanted to have sex, and she was engaged in it,” he testified. “She didn’t push me away or say stop, nothing like that.”
His legal team, led by attorney Rickey Ivie, argued the relationship was consensual and claimed the woman’s accusations lacked credible proof.
When asked if he ever “Hit the plaintiff in the mouth, bust her lip, and force her to give you oral sex?” Soulja Boy responded, “Of course not, and that’s a disgusting allegation.” He added, “It sounds crazy to me. I did not do that.”
Jane Doe alleges Soulja Boy subjected her to repeated physical and sexual abuse while she worked as his assistant from late 2018 to 2020. She claims she was raped multiple times, including during the 2019 police raid and again in October 2020 when she returned to collect her belongings.
She also accuses the rapper of locking her in a room for three days without food or water after she attempted to quit in 2019.
According to her testimony, he took her driver’s license, threatened her with firearms and isolated her at his Malibu rental property.
In addition to the sexual assault claims, she says she was never paid for her work despite being promised $500 a week. Her responsibilities allegedly included cooking, cleaning, driving and being on call nearly around the clock.
Jane Doe also testified that Soulja Boy sent her unsolicited explicit images within the first month of employment and physically assaulted her on several occasions.
She said he punched her in the head at least ten times, kicked her and spat on her. After one alleged assault in February 2019, she claimed he handed her $1,000 as a remorse payment.
She further alleged he made threats against her life, once saying, “I should have killed you,” and warned he would send shooters to harm her family if she left him.
Despite the alleged abuse, she said she stayed due to his repeated apologies and promises to change.
Prosecutors in Ventura County declined to file criminal charges in 2021, citing insufficient evidence to prove the allegations beyond a reasonable doubt.
In her lawsuit, Doe alleges Soulja Boy subjected her to sexual battery, assault, false imprisonment, emotional distress, unpaid overtime, and a hostile work environment.
The civil trial is ongoing in Los Angeles Superior Court.
Demi Blanco, a reality TV personality from Zeus Network’s “Baddies,” was arrested in Atlanta after police say she made a bogus 911 call that triggered the chain of events leading to the death of rapper Young Scooter.
Blanco, whose legal name is Demetria Spence, was taken into custody on Tuesday (April 1) and charged with transmitting a false public alarm.
According to Atlanta police, Spence dialed 911 on March 28, claiming she had witnessed a violent attack involving a naked woman being beaten and gunfire erupting at a local property.
However, when officers arrived, they found no evidence of a disturbance.
Instead, police encountered two men fleeing the scene. One of them was Kenneth Bailey, better known as Young Scooter.
While trying to escape, Bailey attempted to jump a wooden fence and suffered a severe leg injury that tore an artery. He later died from blood loss. The Fulton County Medical Examiner ruled his death accidental, citing a “penetrating injury to the thigh” as the cause.
Hours before her arrest, Spence went live on Instagram and contradicted her original 911 report, claiming she was the one assaulted.
Adding to the confusion, Young Thug weighed in on social media, alleging that Bailey was shot.
In now-deleted posts on X, formerly Twitter, Thug wrote, “Autopsy came back street got shot.” He also posted a photo of District Attorney Marissa Viverito, calling her the “biggest liar in the DA office.”
However, the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s office refuted Thug’s claim, stating there was no gunshot wound and confirming the injury was caused by contact with wood or debris during Bailey’s escape.
Spence remains in custody at Fulton County Jail as of April 1.
Kanye West lit up social media with a chaotic mix of praise for Drake and harsh criticism of J. Cole in his latest tirade.
On Monday (April 1), the divisive rapper reposted a clip from Drake’s “Nokia” video while reflecting on their strained relationship.
“How I hate Drake and I’m team Drake at the same time,” he tweeted. “Life is funny like that It’s the weird thing where I feel closest to Drake outta any body in rap.”
West followed up by sharing a post that simply read, “Drake #1.”
West then pivoted to Cole, unloading a series of insults blasting the North Carolina rapper’s music and industry presence.
“I hate J Cole music so much It’s like between Kendrick and J Cole,” he wrote. “I bet you industry plants asked J Cole to diss Drake then we would have been accosted with a J Cole Super Bowl commercial with no SZA song to save it.”
He didn’t stop there. “No one listens to J Cole after loosing their virginity,” West added.
He also revealed that during a past meeting with Drake, he voiced frustration over Cole’s influence.
“When I met up with Drake during Donda most of the convo was me telling him he was hurting hip hop by giving J Cole a platform,” West claimed. “I was saying how much I loved Future.”
The rant didn’t end with Cole. West also took aim at the late fashion designer Virgil Abloh, expressing lingering resentment over Abloh’s rise.
“Imagine a n#### steal your dream and is given your crown because he ain’t wear a red hat and then the culture you built mad at you speaking up on it,” he stated. “My own friends that knew how bad it hurt me came tryna check me for speaking up. I hate when n##### try to tell me what the f### I can say.”
In a recent interview, West doubled down on his admiration for Drake, calling him “a million times better” and “a million times more important” than Kendrick Lamar.
He credited Drake with shaping the sound and direction of modern Hip-Hop, spawning artists like Future and Young Thug.
Just last month, West admitted he felt jealous of Drake and bizarrely confessed that he wanted Drake to speak at his funeral.
50 Cent has launched a new coordinated social media attack on Lil Meech, Rick Ross and Floyd Mayweather all at once.
On Tuesday (April 1), Fifty shared a string of since-deleted posts to Instagram in which he mocked his foes Mayweather and Ross over their alliance to Lil Meech. It all started with the G-Unit Films & TV mogul sharing a carousel post of images of the “BMF” star appearing slumped over in a wheelchair. Though he did not provide any context along with the images, 50 Cent appeared to suggest Lil Meech was suffering from a drug addiction.
”Damn this is bad,” 50 Cent wrote in the caption of the post. “You believe me now! Oh now you want to believe me OK.”
As if Fifty’s previous allegations regarding Lil Meech’s drug habits weren’t enough of a giveaway, he also added the audio for Amy Winehouse’s “Rehab” seemingly serving as a reference to the singer’s death in 2011 at the age of 27 amid a battle with drug and alcohol addiction.
In a follow-up post featuring a photo of the trio of his ops, 50 Cent antagonized Mayweather and Ross by alluding to the idea that they were using Lil Meech for clout amid their fued fueled by Fifty’s disagreement with Big Meech.
“HELP 🚨 help him out you guys knew what you were doing,” he wrote in the caption of the post. “You used him and now you’re not gonna be there for him. SMH.”
Earlier this year in February, 50 Cent revealed he sent Lil Meech to rehab after noticing signs of substance use, a revelation that adds fuel to his ongoing feud with Lil Meech’s father, Black Mafia Family founder—whose real name is Demetrius Flenory. According to Fifty, concerns about Lil Meech’s drug use escalated when actor Russell Hornsby, who plays Charles Flenory in Starz’s BMF series with Lil Meech, noticed something was off.
“Thought about it. I think he was uncomfortable with me and MeMe’s relationship,” 50 wrote on Instagram, using a nickname for Lil Meech. “I’m telling MeMe don’t want him doing drugs. He telling him he use to do X like it’s cool.”
