YSL Co-Founder Mondo Exposes Young Thug As Real Snitch Behind RICO Case

YSL Mondo unleashed a blistering rebuke of Young Thug on Instagram Live Wednesday (September 3), accusing the rapper of igniting the YSL RICO case by cooperating with law enforcement and betraying the very crew he helped create.

The YSL co-founder dismissed the narrative that Lil Woody’s cooperation triggered the indictment, instead blaming Thug for speaking to police about the 2015 shooting of Lil Wayne’s tour bus.

“Man, you the first n#### to tell, buddy. You the first n#### going in that m########### talking to the police,” Mondo said. “I ain’t going to keep beating around the bush. You the reason why the RICO started, buddy.”

Mondo’s remarks come amid growing tension within the YSL circle, as leaked interrogation footage and jailhouse audio recordings have fractured loyalties.

YSL Mondo Brands Young Thug “The Biggest Rat”

He took particular issue with Thug’s past criticism of Gunna, who accepted an Alford plea, and Lil Woody, a key witness for the prosecution. “You the biggest rat, you is a possum,” Mondo said. “You ruined a lot of people’s lives down there, for real. That s### ain’t right.”

Mondo also accused Thug of dismantling the movement from within.

“You sunk the ship, my brother,” he added. “And it’s so crazy when I say you ruined so many people’s lives ‘cuz you had so many people like me investing my energy and investing so much into you, and love and loyalty into you that I put my own g###### rap career on the back burner.”

He also called out what he sees as hypocrisy in Thug’s public stance against snitching.

“You was the big rat,” he said. “God is putting belt to your ass right now, boy, ‘cuz your career is through. What you going to rap about now?… The world know you was a rat.”

Despite the harsh words, Mondo offered a final piece of advice: turn to faith.

“While you around here bullshitting, talking about n##### that rat need to go gospel…boy, that’s what might save you,” he said. “Give your life to God the real way.”

The rant follows a previous tirade from Mondo last week, where he also accused Thug of hypocrisy after audio surfaced suggesting Thug implicated Peewee Roscoe in the Lil Wayne shooting.

Thug has denied cooperating. “They didn’t play my interrogation video in court cause I helped my brada,” he wrote on social media. “#Ratwhere?”

Charleston White Says He Got Boosie Badazz’s Son Tootie Raww Arrested With Glock Switch

Charleston White claimed he had Tootie Raww arrested in Atlanta just two hours after the rapper’s son touched down in the city, escalating his long-running feud with Boosie Badazz into new legal territory.

The outspoken internet personality took credit for the alleged arrest, saying Tootie Raww was caught with a Glock switch — a device that illegally transforms a semi-automatic handgun into a fully automatic weapon.

“I got Tootie Raww ass arrested within two hours of stepping foot on Atlanta soil,” White bragged in a video circulating online. “I told y’all I was going to get him.”

White also claimed he personally contacted Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to push for Tootie’s arrest.

He said the 22-year-old had been “harassing” him with threatening phone calls in the middle of the night, making him feel unsafe about performing in Atlanta.

“I think karma got Tootie. That’s what it was,” White added. “Listen, Boosie people, leave me alone. Bad s### is happening to y’all. And I ain’t got nothing to do with it. I think it’s the Lord.”

As of Tuesday (May 14), there are no official records confirming Tootie Raww’s arrest. Neither he nor Boosie Badazz has responded publicly to White’s claims.

Charleston White Previously Reported Tootie Raww To Authorities

The animosity between White and Boosie dates back to 2022, when White began publicly targeting Boosie’s son and fellow rapper T.I.’s son, predicting they’d end up in jail.

In March 2023, White admitted to tipping off police about Tootie’s whereabouts. White took credit when Tootiw was later briefly arrested on gun and drug charges.

Meanwhile, Boosie Badazz is awaiting sentencing in a federal case after pleading guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm.

The case stems from a 2023 arrest in San Diego. Although he faces up to 15 years, prosecutors are recommending a two-year sentence followed by three years of supervised release.

White has shown no sympathy for Boosie’s legal troubles. He mocked the rapper’s plea deal and even said he plans to livestream Boosie’s time behind bars.

“I got $10,000, Boosie don’t make it out of prison alive,” White said. “Boosie will die from a diabetes stroke in prison.”

Latto & Ice Spice Shock Fans With Surprise Collab “Gyatt” After Two Years Of Tension

Latto and Ice Spice dropped jaws Wednesday (September 3) with the surprise release of their first-ever collaboration, “Gyatt,” putting an end to nearly two years of tension and lyrical shade.

The track, which arrived without warning, marks a major shift in the dynamic between the two rappers who had been trading subliminals since late 2023.

The official music video is set to premiere Thursday (September 4).

What started as cryptic Instagram posts and pointed bars in songs like Latto’s “Fine As Can Be” and Ice Spice’s “Think U the S### (Fart)” had many speculating the two were locked in a quiet feud.

Latto & Ice Spice Weigh In On Rivalry Rumors

Ice Spice addressed the speculation in a Rolling Stone interview, saying, “I feel like if we ever spoke and I asked her ‘What’s the issue?’ it’d be like a blank stare. It’d really be no issue whatsoever. Especially from me. I can understand a friendly competition, but I just feel like at this point it’s a joke that she’s just dragged out, and it’s just not even funny.”

Latto, for her part, told Billboard she never saw it as a real beef.

“If I was to do [a battle], it would have to be with somebody I feel like Imma go t## for tat with,” she said. “I really don’t mean it as shade. Would she even want to do that? I feel like she’s doing her in her lane. … It’s two different types of vibes. I don’t even think she gives me like, ‘Oh, she wants to engage in an actual rap beef’.”

Despite the back-and-forth, “Gyatt” has been received as a moment of unity in the female rap scene, with listeners praising both artists for putting aside their differences—if only temporarily.

Social media was divided with reactions ranging from impressed to skeptical. One user posted, “Latto getting Ice Spice to rap the best she’s ever rapped was NOT on my bingo card…”

Another wrote, “latto and ice spice getting on gyatt together just to still diss each other. REAL RAP IS BACK!”

A third chimed in, “Latto tricked ice spice into a collab so she could eat her up. Be careful who you call sister.”

Cardi B Declares Herself Part Of Rap’s “Big Three” With Nicki Minaj & Megan Thee Stallion

Cardi B defended her spot among Hip-Hop’s elite women and took aim at her critics, making it clear she sees herself rightfully seated next to Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion in rap’s “Big Three.”

The Grammy winner explained why she believes she belongs in that top-tier conversation in a Billboard cover story published Wednesday (September 3).

“Because I do my job well and I take my time with my music — clearly you can see that,” she said. “But it’s something you’d have to ask the fans. So many [rappers] come and go, and I’m still here. You can downplay my accent, but I put a lot of thought into my work. I don’t half-ass anything I do.”

The Bronx rapper also pointed to the demand for her music as proof of her staying power.

“I’m really one of those artists that people ask for their albums the most every year,” she added. “I wouldn’t be confident if nobody asked me for my s###. Imagine nobody asking for an album of yours? Imagine nobody asking for your music? That’s why I’m so confident.”

Cardi B Calls Out Jealousy From Female Rap Peers

In a separate interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe last month, Cardi discussed the tension she feels from other women in rap, suggesting envy plays a role in the friction.

“For some reason, it’s something about me that these b###### can’t stand,” she said. “They can’t f### with me. Some b######… they’re sophomores, and I’m a senior.”

Cardi’s remarks come ahead of her highly anticipated sophomore album, Am I the Drama?

The 23-track project follows her Grammy-winning debut Invasion of Privacy (2018) and includes hits like “WAP,” “Up,” and the viral singles “Outside” and “Imaginary Playerz.”

With Am I the Drama? arriving September 19, Cardi made it clear she isn’t just chasing charts—she wants to cement her legacy with an album that fans and critics alike will call undeniably great.

She told Billboard, “Success for me will be people saying, ‘She put out a great album.’”

Young Thug Claims He’s Paying Lil Durk’s Lawyer After Explosive Jail Call Leak

Young Thug dropped a bombshell on social media, claiming he’s footing the legal bill for Lil Durk’s attorney after leaked jailhouse audio revealed him complaining about the rapper’s lack of support and delayed collaborations.

The audio, recorded before Young Thug’s release but leaked Wednesday (September 3), captured the Atlanta rapper sounding frustrated over what he described as Durk’s inconsistent behavior and failure to return favors. “I done sent him a few songs… he just taking four, five days,” Thug said in the call. ‘Like, what you got goin’, man? A n#### done too much s### for you. Man, watch out.”

He also accused Durk of switching up publicly, referencing the Chicago rapper’s vocal support during Thug’s YSL RICO case.

“Then [Durk] get on the internet, talking ‘Thug this and that,'” he added. “Man, cut that cap ass s### out.”

The irony wasn’t lost on the internet. Thug is now free while Durk sits behind bars following an October arrest on federal murder-for-hire conspiracy charges. He was denied bond.

The leaked audio reignited speculation about friction between the YSL and OTF camps.

Durk’s affiliate, OTF Twin, didn’t hold back, writing on Instagram, “That n#### on them phones gossiping like a straight b####. I’ll never trust a n#### that put on make up & dress.”

Thug responded by claiming he’s actually helping Durk’s legal defense. “All yall new junkies in otf, just know I’m the one sent Brian steel to help him on my dime,” he tweeted. He followed up with, “Bashing me only goin f### that rap community up more, I’m the blue to this fake ass game.”

OTF Twin replied, “What case??? You must sent him up there today.”

He also sent another shot at Thug, adding “don’t accept money from [a rat.”

Rihanna Shows Off Her Growing Baby Bump In Los Angeles

Rihanna turned heads in Los Angeles as she stepped out with her son, revealing her growing baby bump while dressed in a laid-back yet stylish outfit.

The music icon and business mogul wore a fitted yellow, navy and white striped polo shirt that hugged her stomach, paired with loose, distressed jeans torn at the knees.

She completed the look with a brown designer shoulder bag, gold jewelry, a watch and sunglasses perched on her head. Her natural curls flowed freely, and she appeared calm and confident as she walked with her child.

The 36-year-old is expecting her third child with A$AP Rocky.

The couple confirmed the pregnancy during the 2025 Met Gala, where Rihanna made a bold appearance showing off her baby bump. The child is due in November, though neither parent has disclosed the exact date.

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are parents to two young boys: RZA, born in May 2022, and Riot, born in August 2023. The couple has said they intentionally planned for their children to be close in age so they could grow up with a strong sibling bond.

According to reports, A$AP Rocky has taken an active role in parenting. He handles bedtime routines, diaper changes and supports Rihanna throughout her pregnancy.

While not formalized by marriage, their relationship has been described as deeply committed and grounded in mutual respect.

Rihanna has spoken openly about how motherhood has changed her.

“It’s everything. It’s legendary,” she told British Vogue in 2023. “It’s the best part of my journey so far.”

The couple’s relationship dates back to a friendship that started in 2012 when they met at the MTV VMAs. They began dating publicly in late 2019 and have since built a family while balancing high-profile careers.

Rihanna continues to run her Fenty empire and is willing to keep expanding her family.

“I don’t know what God wants, but I would go for more than two,” she previously said and obviously lived up to that aspiration.

During a June 2025 interview, A$AP Rocky hinted that their third child might be a girl, but neither he nor Rihanna has confirmed the baby’s gender.

Cardi B Says America In “Very Bad Place” Over “Immoral, Evil” Behavior

Cardi B pulled no punches when discussing the state of the country and its moral compass, telling Billboard that the United States is in a “very bad place” and will face long-term consequences for its actions.

“America is in a very bad place,” she said. “No matter who’s in charge, it’s going to stay like that because we’re paying for bad karma.”

The Bronx-born rapper, known for her outspoken views, criticized what she sees as a deep-rooted moral collapse. Without naming specific policies, she pointed to a pattern of behavior that she believes has led to national decline.

“We’ve been supporting and endorsing immoral, evil things,” Cardi B said. “Not one person is going to pay for it; the whole country is going to pay for it.”

Her remarks come amid widespread backlash over President Trump’s rollback of civil rights protections and a growing list of concerns about the country’s role in global conflicts, in addition to domestic policy shifts.

Federal agencies have come under scrutiny for scaling back diversity and inclusion efforts, while immigration policies have drawn fire for their harsh impact on families and asylum seekers.

Although she declined to name him, Cardi was clearly referring to President Trump.

“I know the White House watches my stuff. I have a big platform,” she said. “I know they listen to what I say…There’s a president that knows I’ve never supported him and it’s like if I say something, he’s not going to care.”

Her comments also arrive as the country faces sharp criticism for its unwavering support of Israel amid the Gaza conflict, the crackdown on student demonstrators and the targeting of marginalized communities.

“There’s no bigger leader than God,” she said. “We’ve been doing immoral stuff. We’ve been supporting and endorsing immoral, evil things…Not one person is going to pay for it; the whole country is going to pay for it.””

Cardi B’s new album, Am I The Drama?, is expected to drop on September 19.

Jeffrey Wright Slams “Racist, Stupid” Backlash Over “The Batman”

Jeffrey Wright didn’t mince words when addressing the backlash over his casting as Jim Gordon in The Batman, calling the criticism “so f**king racist and stupid” in a new interview.

The Westworld actor, who portrayed the Gotham City Police Department lieutenant in Matt Reeves’ 2022 film, shared his frustration with Collider over the negative response from some comic book purists who objected to a Black actor stepping into the iconic role for the first time.

“I really find it fascinating the ways in which there’s such a conversation, and I think even more of a conversation now, about Black characters in these roles,” Wright said. “It’s just so f**king racist and stupid. It’s just so blind in a way that I find revealing not to recognize that the evolution of these films reflects the evolution of society. Somehow, it’s defiling this franchise not to keep it grounded in the cultural reality of 1939, when the comic books were first published. It’s just the dumbest thing. It’s absent all logic.”

Wright, who also starred in Casino Royale, pointed out that Gotham City has always been inspired by New York City—a place known for its diversity.

“So, any Gotham within a contemporary film in the Batman series that’s going to be authentic has to be reflective of a modern American metropolis. That’s just what it is,” he said.

Despite the online noise, Wright is looking ahead. He confirmed he’s ready to return for The Batman: Part II, which is set to begin filming in early 2026 and is scheduled for release in theaters in October 2027.

Before then, Wright will appear in Spike Lee’s upcoming crime drama Highest 2 Lowest, which debuts Friday on Apple TV+.

Meek Mill Welcomes IShowSpeed To Dreamchasers With $200K Chain

Meek Mill made headlines in Philadelphia after presenting IShowSpeed with a $200,000 diamond-encrusted chain, officially welcoming the streamer into the Dreamchasers fold during a live broadcast of Speed’s cross-country tour.

The Dreamchasers founder surprised the 20-year-old internet star with a custom piece featuring a dreamcatcher motif and over 100 carats of VVS diamonds.

The moment unfolded during IShowSpeed’s stop in Meek’s hometown, part of his ongoing “Speed Does America” livestream tour.

“IShowSpeed is officially part of Dreamchasers now,” Meek Mill said while handing over the chain during the livestream.

The chain presentation served as a symbolic handoff between generations. Meek, who rose to fame in the early 2010s, acknowledged the shift in influence from rap veterans to digital creators.

“If you under 21, we was the ones that’s out here rocking and rolling chasing dreams. We got to follow y’all now,” Meek said. “I dropped ‘I’ma Boss in 2012. How old was you?”

“I was seven,” IShowSpeed replied.

“I got to do my just due to get back to the young bulls,” Meek added. “I just got chased by three helicopters. 13 cop cars to get here. But we here, man.”

Meek’s gesture not only elevated IShowSpeed’s status in the music world but also emphasized the merging of online personalities with traditional rap circles.

The Philadelphia visit included stops at Pat’s King of Steaks, the Eagles’ NovaCare Complex and the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

The tour is part of IShowSpeed’s marathon 35-day livestream, which began August 28 and spans 25 states with no scheduled breaks.

The trek includes stops in states such as California, Texas, Florida, Michigan and New York. Influencers like MrBeast have already teased appearances, with a potential collaboration hinted at during the North Carolina leg.

IShowSpeed’s tour continues through late September, marking his most ambitious streaming project to date.

Rapper KSI Takes Over “Britain’s Got Talent” Judge Spot

KSI will officially take a permanent seat on Britain’s Got Talent judging panel for its upcoming 19th season, stepping in for Bruno Tonioli, who is leaving the show due to scheduling conflicts.

The YouTube star-turned-entertainer, who previously filled in as a guest judge, will now join Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon full-time on the ITV talent competition.

His promotion follows a well-received appearance last season, which left producers and audiences impressed.

Tonioli, who joined the show in 2023 after David Walliams’ exit, confirmed that he’s stepping away after three seasons to resume his role on Dancing with the Stars in the US.

“After three incredible series, I’ve sadly had to walk away from a job which has opened my eyes to so much incredible talent and step down as a judge on BGT,” Tonioli said. “And whilst I look forward to filming a new series of Dancing with the Stars in the US, I will miss the chaos and joy that BGT brings, as well as all the wonderful people I’ve had the privilege of working with. They truly are a brilliant team who make brilliant television, and I know KSI will be a fantastic judge too, as he’s already proven this year.”

The 19th season of Britain’s Got Talent is expected to premiere in early 2026.

Marlon Wayans & Snoop Dogg: Two Fake Posts, One Big Mess

Marlon Wayans and Snoop Dogg are trending in the same conversation right now, but for all the wrong reasons. A lot of people probably fell for this fake statement because Marlon defended Snoop after the Trump fiasco.

Over the weekend, it looked like a scorching clapback from Marlon Wayans in response to Snoop Dogg’s much-discussed comments about Disney’s Lightyear and its LGBTQ+ representation. The post went viral with millions of views. Some people applauded Marlon for allegedly calling out homophobia. He has done similar things, but not this time.

READ ALSO: Marlon Wayans Going Deeper Into Horror With South Korean Game Show Adaptation

First of all, before I continue, we knew this was BS. I saw it, googled it and had a general feeling it was fake. What do people get out of this? Is there some sort of undiagnosed social disease? Anyway, let me carry on.

The now-deleted post from user @JamesTate121 claimed Marlon said: “There ain’t no Hollywood agenda to turn kids gay. That’s the dumbest s##t I’ve ever heard. Disney characters lie, steal, cheat, kill, poison and everything and don’t nobody say it’s an agenda to turn their kids into a piece of s##t. I watched Snow White when I was a kid and I ain’t give a b###h a poison apple yet. But as soon as a gay character pop up, it’s an agenda.”

There was more to the quote, but why keep repeating it when it was fake. You get the idea.

But, the words spread quickly across timelines because they definitely sounded like something Marlon might say. He’s been publicly supportive of the LGBTQ+ community and even celebrated Pride in June. They used his past support to spread this lie.“Happy Pride to all my LGBTQ peeps… You can be a straight man and still love gay people,” he said earlier in June. He has a transgender child he loves and that also helped momentarily validate this rumor.

Marlon Wayans: News, Rumors & More

Marlon screamed at the internet for this one. That post-n-deleter should the one to get the wrath. We should get the credit!

On IG, he said, “People really running with this BULLSH*T. I NEVER said this. @snoopdogg is my bro. I’d never publicly smear him for an opinion. I NEVER even heard what he said or if he said it. I’m watching all these news outlets pick this up and I’m shaking my head. I do defend the LGBTQ as i defend all human rights. But Snoop and I BEEFING. Yall stop this fake news. If I’d had a problem with Brody I’d handle it offline as two brothers. Now have a blessed day.”

READ ALSO: Snoop Dogg Rep Say Apology Over LGBTQ Comments Was “Fake”

On the other side, the Snoop Dogg side of the saga is murky. The backlash for saying the same-sex kiss in Lightyear made him “scared” to take his grandson to the movies, is not going away. There was an apology posted on his official social media, but it was not true. He says he did not say “my bad.”

Marlon Wayans didn’t go at Snoop. Snoop didn’t apologize. Two fake posts. One big mess.

Damon Dash Called Cam’ron’s Comments “Coward Sh#t,” Says He Started The Roc’s Demise

Damon Dash blasted Cam’ron in a video recorded at a dentist office, saying private business shouldn’t be turned into public sh#t for clicks.

In a video filmed while undergoing medical treatment, Dash said he had just had surgery on his eye due to diabetes complications and was preparing for dental work, but couldn’t ignore what he saw as repeated shots from Cam’ron. “Get your jokes. But know that right now I’m in my dentist office and tomorrow I’m getting a surgery,” he said. “Hopefully by the time y’all see this I’ll have some new teeth.”

Dash said he had tried to reach Cam’ron directly but was ignored.

“If you have something to say to someone that you respect and that you know, you don’t go on a television show and speak on it. You give them the respect of calling them,” he said. Instead, he accused Cam’ron of chasing numbers: “I’m noticing that you’re leveraging it for views. That seems to now be your business.”

He called Cam’ron’s commentary about his finances weak.

“Talking about another man’s pockets… that’s just not the most masculine thing to do,” Dash said. “Talking about other people, especially when they’re not in the room, to me is coward sh#t.”

Cam previously said Dame’s over-the-top lifestyle was the cause of his financial woes.

“Bro if you live like that you got to keep hustling you can’t do buy all that s##t you bought, and I’m being nice,” Cam said. “I’m not even naming half of it. You can’t buy all that sh#t and spend all that money and then be like, ‘I shouldn’t have to work anymore.’ I ain’t have half the sh*t I just named. I ain’t have no two lofts in SoHo, I ain’t have no two mansions in London I ain’t fly private every day for six, seven, eight, nine years. I ain’t have no damn u#####.”

Dash also revisited old Roc-A-Fella wounds, accusing Cam’ron of making a private conversation about an executive role public and fueling conflict inside the label.

“That started everything,” Dash said, recalling that the talks died after Cam’ron’s lawyer allegedly demanded $750,000. “I just said, ‘Forget it.’”

He also defended his film Honor Up and his million-dollar investment in it. Cam’ron said he was essentially tricked into being in the movie.

Dame challenged Cam’ron to stack their movie projects side by side and see who is the best creator. “Now you’re gonna say the sh#t was wack?… Show me one movie you’ve done that’s better than Honor Up,’” Dash said.

Digging in, Dash also said Cam’ron hadn’t delivered a solo hit since Roc-A-Fella and claimed Dipset clothing was a project he helped start but was left out of. “You haven’t even sent me a sweatshirt,” he added.

@revolt

Wait, #DameDash finessed Cam to be in a whole movie?!? 🤣🤣 Tune into the latest episode of TalkWithFlee, watch NOW on REVOLT’s YouTube & App 📲💻

♬ original sound – REVOLT

Dash said Cam’ron’s show is built on tearing people down.

“Teach when you’re on your platform. Don’t tear people down,” he said. “Every person that you have a problem with is Black, and you talk about them when they’re not in the room. That’s not Harlem sh#t.”

He wrapped his remarks by calling for a face-to-face conversation instead of back-and-forth in interviews. “There’s no point for talking about people that aren’t in the room if you can talk to them,” Dash said.

Kelly Price Goes Off On Black Women – “I’m Sick Of Black People & Their BS”

Kelly Price lashed out on social media after clips from her May show in Detroit triggered a flood of criticism over her appearance and wardrobe choices.

The Grammy-nominated singer, appearing in a bonnet and glasses, said the comments were especially painful because they came from within her own community.

“Black women, you are some of the most nasty, disrespectful people on God’s planet Earth,” she said. She accused critics of calling themselves activists or educated while spending time tearing others down.

Price said she is often ridiculed for her body and fashion but insisted the insults won’t derail her career.

“I’m still going to be selling out theaters and venues, looking like a fat slob, in clothes that you said that I look nasty in,” she said. “And my feet are so damn big, and who dressed me. I’m still going to be making my money.”

Price admitted that online rants are rare for her but said constant negativity pushed her to the edge.

“I don’t even do this. But I’m so sick of Black people and their b#######. I’m saying what I want to say,” she said.

Price also directed her anger at those who hide behind credentials.

“Find yourself because a degree does not give you class,” she said. “Find yourself because being a keyboard thug on social media ain’t gonna do nothing but get your ass whipped when somebody walk up on you that don’t know that you don’t even know is watching you. I said what I said.”

She closed with a blunt acknowledgment of her own struggle.

“If you got a problem with what I’m saying, and you know Lord, pray for me, because I’m not there yet.”

After the video surfaced, Price made commenting on her posts limited after fans flooded her page with reactions to her rant.

“Girl after calling all black women nasty and disrespectful you mines well turn ALL your comments off they about to fire you up boo,” one user wrote. Another said “When I saw the bonnet I knew Kelly is about to go off cuz she rarely come on looking that way.”

VanVan & Bun B Drop “Do The Right Thing” Remix, Adds Debut Role On Abbott Elementary

Six-year-old Charlotte-area rap phenom Savannah “VanVan” McConneaughey has teamed up with Bun B of UGK for a remix of her song “Do The Right Thing,” showing the world she’s already bridging Hip-Hop generations.

The Salisbury native first broke through in 2023 when clips of her rapping, shared by her father Reggie, went viral on Instagram and TikTok. Her breakout single “Playing Outside Every Day cemented her as a rising star with a growing fan base.

VanVan’s journey has been nothing short of remarkable. She performed with MC Lyte at the Kennedy Center in December 2023 to honor Queen Latifah, appeared at the Essence Festival, rocked the BET Awards in June 2024, and dropped her debut album VanVan in July.

Her talents stretch far beyond music. In November, she joined the cast of Snoop Dogg’s animated series Doggyland,voicing Vancy the Dalmatian. This week, she appeared on The Jennifer Hudson Show and made her acting debut on ABC’s Abbott Elementary, playing a sharp-tongued student opposite Emmy winner Sheryl Lee Ralph.

Now signed to MC Lyte’s Sunni Gyrl, Inc., VanVan is also releasing a children’s book, Rhyme Time Adventures: VanVan and MC Lyte’s Magical Melodies, in the coming weeks — while simultaneously heading back into the studio for more music.

“We bout to turn yall up real soon,” Sunni Gyrl said on IG.

Tracee Ellis Ross’s Home Ransacked In Costly Break-In

Tracee Ellis Ross had her Los Angeles home burglarized over the weekend in a high-value break-in that saw thieves make off with more than $100,000 in luxury goods, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

The star’s residence was hit in the early hours of Sunday morning by three suspects who smashed through a glass door to gain entry. LAPD officials told NBC4 Investigates that the intruders ransacked the property and took off with an assortment of designer handbags and jewelry.

Tracee Ellis Ross, 52, was not at home during the break-in. Staff members discovered the property had been looted when they arrived later that morning and immediately contacted authorities.

Surveillance footage from the scene has been recovered, but no arrests have been made as of Wednesday (September 3).

The break-in adds to a growing list of celebrity homes targeted in Los Angeles in recent months.

In June, thieves entered Brad Pitt’s Los Feliz estate, and earlier this year, an intruder breached a Beverly Hills property owned by Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban.

Representatives for Ross, the daughter of music icon Diana Ross, have not issued a statement.

Tupac Shakur Murder Suspect Hit With Prison Sentence Over Jail Brawl

Duane “Keefe D” Davis was handed a 16 to 40-month prison sentence Tuesday (September 2) for a jailhouse scuffle in December 2024, a fight he claims he never started and insists was a setup.

The Tupac Shakur murder suspect, who’s been locked up since September 2023, got into a physical altercation with another inmate while awaiting trial.

The two exchanged blows until guards broke it up using pepper spray. In court, Davis claimed he was the victim.

“This is wrong. I got attacked,” he told the judge. “My parents brought me up to protect yourself, and that’s all I was doing, protecting myself. This is totally wrong.”

He also alleged the incident was a “setup.”

Davis, also known as Keefe D, will be eligible for parole in roughly a year, with credit for time served.

Keefe D To Stand Trial In 2026 In Connection With Tupac Shakur’s Death

The jailhouse incident adds another layer to the long-running saga surrounding the 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur.

Davis is the only person ever charged in connection with the killing and has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder.

Prosecutors say he was the mastermind behind the drive-by shooting that killed the Hip-Hop icon in Las Vegas, allegedly in retaliation for a fight between Tupac and Davis’ nephew, Orlando Anderson, earlier that night.

His trial, originally scheduled for March 2025, has been pushed to February 2026.

The delay comes after new witness statements and evidence surfaced, some of which Davis’ legal team says could place him outside Las Vegas at the time of the shooting.

His attorneys argue Davis had immunity agreements with federal and local law enforcement due to prior cooperation.

Meanwhile, prosecutors claim he remains dangerous even behind bars, accusing him of trying to intimidate witnesses from jail.

Rapper Amillion Mayfield Gives Back With 2nd Annual 1NA Day”

Amillion Mayfield is bringing music and mission together as he hosts the second annual 1NA Day, a city-sanctioned celebration aimed at giving back to the community that shaped him.

The event, scheduled to take place on Sunday, September 14, 2025, outside Legislative Hall in downtown Dover, will feature a mix of live performances, community outreach, and youth-focused initiatives.

The day begins with a Peace Walk led by families affected by violence, followed by a summer music festival, free haircuts, scholarship giveaways, and a back-to-school supply drive.

The City of Dover and Mayor Robin Christiansen officially recognized the event, declaring it “1NA Day” for the second consecutive year. The name references Mayfield’s brand and motto, “1 in A Million,” which he uses to inspire individuality and purpose.

“This day isn’t just for me. It’s for the kids, for the culture, and for the city that believed in a poet with a dream,” Mayfield said. “As someone who’s performed in over 32 countries, been awarded International Hip-Hop Artist of the Year, and seen both struggle and success—I knew I had to come back and pour into the same streets that poured into me.”

He added, “Having your own day doesn’t happen everyday nor does making it from Delaware. I’m also looking forward to AllHiphop Day coming soon as well.”

Mayfield, who transitioned from athlete to rapper, author, and entrepreneur, is also the CEO of 1NA Alkaline Water. He became the first Black-owned brand in his category to be stocked in major grocery chains, including ALDI.

Beyond his music and business ventures, Mayfield remains actively involved in youth development, running summer camps and mentoring programs throughout Delaware.

He also holds a Key to the City of Dover and has built a reputation for using his platform to promote wellness, education, and social impact.

The 1NA Day event will also feature community vendors, a hydration station, and local resource booths offering job and health services.

1NA Day will run from 12:00 P.M. to 7:00 P.M. Please refer to the flyer below for more information.

Ray J Coins Himself “The New Diddy”—Gets Tossed Out Of Kai Cenat’s House

Ray J stirred up controversy during Kai Cenat’s Mafiathon 3 livestream this week after referring to himself as “the new Diddy” and repeatedly shouting “free Puffy,” a move that got him swiftly kicked out of the house.

The moment unfolded during a brief exchange with streamer RayAsianBoy, when Ray J was asked if he had ever attended a party hosted by Diddy. “Have I ever went to a Diddy party? I’m the new Diddy,” he said. The comment visibly stunned Cenat, who quickly asked Ray J to leave the stream.

As he exited, Ray J continued to say “free Puffy” multiple times. Earlier in the stream, he also attempted to join Cenat in the shower while a DJ played his 2005 hit “One Wish” in the background. Both moments were played for laughs, though the Diddy reference clearly crossed a line for Cenat.

Mafiathon 3, Cenat’s monthlong livestream event, kicked off with appearances from Kim Kardashian and Mariah Carey in its first two days. The Twitch marathon is known for its unpredictable celebrity drop-ins and over-the-top antics. Cenat has teased that if he reaches one million subscribers, LeBron James will cut his hair live on stream.

Ray J, who launched his own Twitch channel in January, has leaned into the platform’s chaotic energy. But his public support for Diddy comes at a time when the rap mogul has been embroiled in serious legal troubles.

Diddy, whose real name is Sean Combs, was arrested in September 2024 on federal charges related to sex trafficking and racketeering. He remains in custody after being convicted on two counts of transportation for the purposes of prostitution in July. Public sentiment has largely turned against him following a series of lawsuits and damaging allegations.

Ray J’s decision to align himself with Diddy—even jokingly—didn’t land well with Cenat or his audience. The singer and entrepreneur has been active on social media defending Diddy in recent months, despite the backlash. Mafiathon 3 will continue through the end of September, with more celebrity appearances expected in the coming days.

Mya Says Work Led To Seven Years Of Celibacy – “Time Has Passed”

Mya paused her dating life and embraced celibacy for seven years, revealing it wasn’t a conscious decision but a natural outcome of prioritizing healing and self-growth.

The singer, now 45, reflected on her extended break from romantic relationships during a conversation with British comedian Judi Love on the Judi Love YouTube channel.

“It wasn’t even a choice. It was just what it was, and then you look up, ‘Oh, time has passed,'” Mya said, describing how the years quietly slipped by as she focused inward.

Mya explained she became immersed in her work and personal evolution, pouring her energy into music, wellness and rediscovering passions she had put on hold.

“I was fully committed to self and that meant in business and dishing out project after project… engulfing myself into my love and then my gifts that maybe I’d abandoned during that relationship,” she said. “Changing my diet and then starting to invest in just joy around me and getting rid of the bad energy, the bad vices that could become addictions or any form of escapism.”

Her journey of self-reflection took shape after she famously “married herself” in 2013, a symbolic gesture that marked a turning point in her personal life. That decision laid the groundwork for a deeper transformation.

“So it was literally a self-analysation,” she said. “Making a chart actually before the New Year, looking at different areas and phases of my life, what I was doing, who was involved, and then what accolades were coming during those times. I’m like, ‘Okay, I see progressing,’ and then I can see where something was going on because I allowed something in that shouldn’t have been there.”

Mya’s comments come at a time when more public figures are speaking openly about stepping back from dating to focus on emotional and spiritual clarity.

Conversations around celibacy and self-care are gaining traction as people reevaluate their priorities in a post-pandemic world.

Cardi B Promises To Countersue Next Time After Assault Case Victory

Cardi B walked out of a Los Angeles courtroom on Tuesday (September 2) with a clean slate and a sharp warning after a jury found her not liable in a civil assault case brought by former security guard Emani Ellis.

The 12-person jury needed less than an hour to unanimously side with the Grammy-winning rapper, rejecting Ellis’ claims that she was scratched, spat on and verbally attacked outside a Beverly Hills OB-GYN office in 2018 while Cardi B was pregnant.

The Bronx native testified that the confrontation was verbal only and that Ellis had crossed the line by filming her without permission during a private medical visit.

“To be honest with you, I have missed my kids’ first day of school today,” she said after the verdict. “Because of this, and I’m not even playing around… I swear to God I will say it on my deathbed. I did not touch that woman.”

Ellis maintained her version of events and said through her attorney that she plans to appeal the decision.

Cardi B Urges Supporters Not To Harass Emani Ellis Online

But for Cardi B, the verdict wasn’t just a win—it was a turning point. She made it clear she’s done playing nice with people she believes are trying to cash in on her name.

“With that being said, this time around, I’m going to be nice. The next person to try to do a frivolous lawsuit against me, I’m going to countersue, and I’m going to make you pay because this is not okay.”

She also pushed back on the idea that celebrities are easy targets for settlements.

“So don’t ever think that I’m just going to give you my money that I work hard for,” he said. “I work hard for my money, for my kids, and for people I take care of. So don’t you ever think that you’re gonna sue me, and I’m just going to settle and just give [you] my money? It’s not going to happen.”

Despite her frustration, Cardi B urged her supporters not to harass Ellis online, saying she wanted to move forward without encouraging hate.

This isn’t the first time Cardi B has come out on top in court. In 2022, she won a defamation lawsuit against YouTuber Tasha K, who spread false claims about her personal life.

That case ended with a jury awarding Cardi B more than $4 million, including $1.3 million in legal fees.
