Snoop Dogg Opens Up About Daughter Cori’s Near Death Experience

Snoop Dogg and his daughter Cori Broadus are speaking out about the serious health scare that brought their family to the brink earlier this year.

In January, Broadus, 25, suffered a severe stroke that she described as completely unexpected, leaving the family grappling with fear for her life.

“It’s hard for me to revisit that day,” the 53-year-old Hip-Hop legend told Us Weekly in a joint interview with his daughter. “Anyone who knows me knows my daughter is my kryptonite.”

The stroke happened without warning for the pop singer and cosmetics entrepreneur.

Broadus recalled how quickly everything changed.

“I was celebrating at a party, and then the next day, I’m in the hospital,” she shared.

The near-death experience, she said, shifted her perspective on life and deepened her relationships with her loved ones.

“I think it really scared everyone… You know, a stroke is no joke. It brought me and my family closer, [realizing] that anything can happen in the snap of a finger.”

Broadus, who founded the beauty line Choc Factory, has faced health challenges from a young age.

At only 6 years old, she was diagnosed with lupus, an autoimmune disease.

In 2021, she also made headlines after revealing her struggles with mental health, which led to a suicide attempt.

Through it all, however, Snoop Dogg has been a resolute supporter of his daughter.

“Cori is very open in showing her truth, whether it’s talking about her struggles with mental health or her stroke,” Snoop Dogg said. “Most people wouldn’t feel comfortable sharing their experiences, but she wants to help people by showing that they are not alone.”

Eminem Publicly Acknowledges Mother’s Recent Death—Kinda

Eminem performed overseas in Abu Dhabi for the F1 Grand Prix event on Saturday (December 7) in support of his latest album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce). 

During the Yas Etihad Arena performance, the diamond-selling MC appeared to acknowledge his mother Debbie Nelson’s recent death—albeit subtly. While performing the 2002 single “Without Me” from his fourth studio album, The Eminem Show, Eminem cut the part where he shouts, “F### you, Debbie!” and let the 40,000 people in attendance handle it instead.

The show marked Em’s first public appearance since Nelson lost her battle with lung cancer earlier this month. Some feared he’d cancel the performance, but fans were assured he’d show up through various social media posts.

Nelson died in St. Joseph, Missouri on December 2 at the age of 69. In a since-deleted post, Eminem’s half-brother Nate directly talked about her death, writing, “Hatred and mixed emotions today,” though he didn’t elaborate. Eminem’s relationship with Nelson was strained over the years.

Early in his career, he accused her of abuse and neglect in songs like “Cleanin’ Out My Closet” and “My Mom.” He’s suggested multiple times that Nelson had issues with substance abuse, particularly prescription drugs, and that her addiction contributed to the instability in their household. In “My Mom,” he mentions being exposed to drugs like V##### during his youth.

In 1999, Nelson sued him for defamation following the release of “My Name Is,” which included lines like, “I just found out my mom does more dope than I do/I told her I’d grow up to be a famous rapper/Make a record about doin’ drugs and name it after her.”

Nelson wanted $10 million in damages, but the lawsuit was settled in 2001 for $25,000, with Nelson reportedly receiving just $1,600 after legal fees. Continuing his contempt for Nelson, Eminem later rapped “f### you Debbie” on the aforementioned “Without Me.”

But now, in light of her death, perhaps that line will be a permanent part of the past.

 

Fans Plead With Kim Kardashian To Help CEO Shooting Suspect

Supporters of Luigi Mangione, a 26-year-old accused of killing healthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Pennsylvania, are rallying online, urging reality star Kim Kardashian to intervene in his legal case.

The December 4 shooting has sparked a wave of online fervor, with Mangione becoming a polarizing figure as debates swirl around justice and celebrity influence.

Kim Kardashian, 44, known for her criminal justice reform efforts, has not publicly responded to the calls for her involvement.

While she is not a licensed attorney, Kardashian has worked on high-profile cases, including her advocacy for the Menendez brothers, who were convicted of murdering their parents in 1989 and are awaiting resentencing after nearly three decades in prison.

Fans now hope she might lend her influence to Mangione’s defense.

“Somebody please contact Kim Kardashian and tell her to protect Luigi Mangione, he cannot go to jail,” one commenter pleaded on social media following Mangione’s arrest.

The online reaction to the case ranges from ardent sympathies for Mangione, with some labeling the incident an anti-capitalist stand, to tongue-in-cheek admiration for his mugshot.

Some fans went as far as suggesting bold collaborations for Kardashian’s Skims clothing line, even humorously nominating Mangione as a potential model.

“Kim Kardashian needs to get Luigi pardoned and then get him in a Skims campaign,” one fan wrote, while another described the accused as “lowkey the modern day prison bae.”

As the support for Mangione’s case grows, so do the questions surrounding the intersection of celebrity advocacy, criminal justice, and public opinion.

Whether Kardashian will join the defense effort remains unclear, but her name continues to dominate the discussion.

Jamie Foxx Claims He’s Done Dating White Women

Jamie Foxx had audience members roaring during his latest Netflix comedy special, “What Had Happened Was…,” when he performed a song claiming he’s “cured” of dating white women.

The 56-year-old Oscar winner and comedian delivered the tune in between punches of humor and piano melodies, touching on personal experiences and cultural references that fired up the crowd.

“Sisters, I’m here to tell you I’ve been cured. I’ve been cured of everything,” Foxx crooned, drawing enthusiastic cheers and applause from the audience.

The playful anthem, which recurred throughout the set, took a satirical turn as Foxx announced, “No more white girls. I’m serious; no more white girls. No more. No more white girls.”

Foxx’s banter was punctuated by a declaration that garnered even louder reactions.

“I’m back on the Black side of town!” he exclaimed while a wave of applause erupted.

The song’s tongue-in-cheek lyrics referenced everything from cuisine to stereotypes, with Foxx riffing, “No more potato salad and raisins. No more white girls! No more spray tan, no more big tties, no a. No more white girls, I gotta let ‘em know!”

The cinematic star, who famously dated actress Katie Holmes for six years between 2013 and 2019, shares two daughters—Corinne, with former partner Connie Kline, and Anelise, with former partner Kristin Grannis.

Not content to stop there, Foxx wrapped the satirical anthem with cultural nods, singing, “My life gonna be February all year long,” a nod to Black History Month, and finally offering the sly caveat, “No more white girls—in public.”

The title of the special, “What Had Happened Was…” refers to a harrowing 20-day stretch Foxx has said he completely lost memories of following a medical emergency earlier this year.

The performer reportedly suffered a severe stroke caused by a brain bleed, inspiring new perspectives on life and his comedic lens.

Lawyer Suing JAY-Z Bashes Rapper For “Illegal Conduct,” Promises Evidence Is Coming

Attorney Tony Buzbee has vehemently denied accusations from JAY-Z’s legal team, promising forthcoming evidence of alleged wrongdoing by JAY-Z’s defense counsel.

The showdown stems from a case filed by a plaintiff identified as Jane Doe, who accuses JAY-Z, along with Sean “Diddy” Combs, of sexually assaulting her after an MTV Vide Music Awards afterparty in 2000.

On Tuesday (December 10), JAY-Z’s legal team asserted that Buzbee, who represents a Jane Doe, manipulated another alleged victim to fabricate claims against high-profile figures as part of a financial extortion plot.

Attorney Alex Spiro, representing JAY-Z, submitted a detailed motion in court alleging unethical practices by Buzbee’s team.

“To be clear, my firm and I categorically deny all of the baseless allegations levied by Mr. Carter and his counsel in these letters,” Buzbee said in a fiery statement denying the claims. “We will respond in due course and due time, through memoranda of law and other appropriate means, to the legal issues at hand as well as the accusations raised by Mr. Carter and his counsel.”

Spiro’s filing included testimony from a member of his legal team who said an anonymous woman who reportedly approached Buzbee’s firm with unrelated accusations of abuse, was coerced into tying her claims to JAY-Z and Diddy.

According to Mari Henderson, another attorney for JAY-Z, Buzbee’s team pressured the woman to craft a narrative implicating the two Hip-Hop icons despite her protests.

“The woman spoke with three members of Mr. Buzbee’s firm and provided details regarding her experiences as a victim of trafficking by celebrities entirely unrelated to Mr. Combs (or Mr. Carter),” Henderson said. “And she was told they would take on her representation.”

Henderson recounted how attorneys in Buzbee’s office allegedly prodded the woman to falsely claim she had been drugged, assaulted, and physically restrained, going so far as to push for her to pursue the case anonymously.

“When the woman made clear she was unwilling to adapt to the narrative Mr. Buzbee’s firm laid out and wanted only to speak her truth, she was dropped as a client and told that Mr. Buzbee’s firm was unwilling to represent her any longer,” Henderson added.

The woman later expressed fears of retaliation from Buzbee, a claim that has added another volatile layer to the lawsuit.

JAY-Z has consistently denied all accusations, dismissing the lawsuit and Buzbee’s alleged tactics as little more than a “shakedown.”

Buzbee, however, doubled down on his stance, criticizing the defense team’s integrity and vowing to present hard evidence of alleged misconduct on their part.

“We also will address verifiable improprieties committed by defense counsel, outright illegal conduct for which we have actual evidence rather than vague hearsay declarations,” Buzbee said. “For the moment, we simply want to timely inform the Court that such responses will be forthcoming.”

Megan Thee Stallion & Blogger Ordered To Try To Settle Their Differences

Megan Thee Stallion will attempt to resolve her legal feud with blogger Milagro Gramz in a mediation session scheduled for March 2025

The session is part of a court-mandated effort to address allegations of defamation, harassment, and cyberstalking, which Megan claims have caused significant emotional and reputational harm.

The conflict arises from a years-long dispute following the 2020 shooting incident involving rapper Tory Lanez, for which Lanez was convicted in 2023 and is serving a ten-year prison sentence.

Megan Thee Stallion filed a lawsuit in October against Gramz—real name Milagro Cooper—alleging that the blogger targeted her in a sustained campaign of disinformation and harassment.

Central to the case are claims that Gramz promoted baseless conspiracy theories, including the alleged disappearance of the firearm used in the shooting, despite Megan’s legal team confirming the weapon remains in Los Angeles Police Department custody.

Additional accusations include amplifying explicit deepfake content to her audience, which Megan Thee Stallion claims violates Florida law and exacerbates her suffering.

Represented by the nonprofit legal organization Unite the People—best known for supporting Lanez in his appeal—Gramz has pushed back against the lawsuit, calling it an attack on her First Amendment rights.

She filed a motion to dismiss the case in November, arguing the allegations lack merit and accusing Megan of using the legal system to stifle her ability to report on the Tory Lanez trial.

Gramz’s legal counsel described the lawsuit as a superficial attempt to control the narrative rather than a legitimate defamation claim.

As the legal battle has escalated, the court has stepped in to encourage a resolution outside the courtroom.

Retired Judge Scott Silverman will oversee the mediation, which aims to find common ground between the parties before the case moves toward potentially lengthier litigation.

Both Megan and Gramz are required to file a mediation report no later than seven days after the scheduled conference, a directive issued by Chief Judge Cecilia M. Altonaga.

The mediation is for March 10 at 10:00 a.m. via Zoom.

Beyoncé Celebrates Blue Ivy’s Role In “Mufasa: The Lion King” Premiere

Beyoncé celebrated her daughter Blue Ivy Carter’s Hollywood milestone Monday night (December 9) at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, where the 12-year-old made her debut in Mufasa: The Lion King.

The pop icon, who reprises her role as Nala in the film, took to Instagram to express her pride after the premiere.

“My gorgeous baby girl,” Beyoncé captioned a post featuring photos of Blue Ivy in a shimmering gold lamé ballgown fitting for the occasion. “This is your night. You worked hard and you did such a beautiful job as the voice of Kiara. Your family could not be prouder. Keep shining.”

In the highly anticipated follow-up to Disney’s 2019 remake of The Lion King, Blue Ivy portrays Kiara, the daughter of Simba and Nala and a young princess of the Pride Lands.

While the film doesn’t hit theaters until December 20, the star-studded event served as a glittering prelude to its holiday season release. Beyoncé was joined by her husband, JAY-Z, and mother, Tina Knowles, at the premiere.

The family’s public appearance came on the heels of a civil lawsuit leveled against the rapper, whose real name is Shawn Carter.

The lawsuit accuses JAY-Z and Diddy of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl at a 2000 party.

Carter has strongly denied the allegations, calling them “heinous” and describing the mediation request as a “blackmail attempt.”

In a firm statement, he said, “(The allegations are) so heinous in nature that I implore you to file a criminal complaint, not a civil one!! Whomever would commit such a crime against a minor should be locked away, would you not agree?”

Beyoncé hasn’t addressed the claims involving her husband. Instead, her focus remained on celebrating Blue Ivy’s voice-acting achievement and the continuation of the beloved Lion King franchise.

Diddy John Doe Accuser Breaks Silence On Alleged Sexual Assault: “Abusive Beyond Belief”  

A man accusing Sean “Diddy” Combs of drugging and sexually assaulting him at a party is speaking out about the shocking allegations in a new interview. 

The John Doe accuser has given an anonymous on-camera interview to CNN, the first time any of Diddy’s civil accusers has spoken publicly in an interview.  

The alleged victim claims Diddy drugged and sodomized him at one of his “White Parties” in the Hamptons in 2007. Doe told the outlet he was working security for the party, where Diddy personally handed him two drinks.  

After consuming the second beverage, Doe began to suspect something was wrong. He told the outlet he “wasn’t able to stand” after consuming the drinks.  

“It was just an amazing level of incapacitation that I had never experienced before,” he explained. “I felt powerless.

“Sadly, Sean Combs was waiting in the wings,” the accuser stated. “He was watching from some sort of vantage point and once I was in a helpless position and he was sure that he was in a position of power, then he took advantage of the situation.” 

According to John Doe, the nightmare began from there, with Diddy allegedly forcing him into a vehicle. Once in the car, he claims Diddy held him down and sodomized him while Doe yelled for assistance.  

“I was screaming, I was telling him to stop,” Doe said. “It was incredibly painful, and he was acting like it was nothing and he seemed to be disconnected from it. But it was abusive beyond belief.” 

While it was not mentioned before, Doe claimed a celebrity witnessed the alleged attack. “There was one high-profile individual who saw what happened and found it amusing,” he recalled.  

Doe claims he reported the alleged assault to his manager and lost his job shortly after. 

“He just dismissed it and said, ‘I’ll talk to him,’” Doe said of his supervisor. “After that, he didn’t talk to me again, he cut me out of everything … I was totally blacklisted after that. I had to find a different field.” 

Doe is seeking compensatory and punitive damages, stating the alleged assault contributed to the demise of his marriage and caused him to lose his job. He also claims he has endured lasting emotional pain and mental health struggles since the alleged attack.  

CNN noted a number of inconsistencies between Doe’s interview and the October lawsuit. Doe’s attorneys filed an amended complaint with the court, blaming the mistakes on the rush to file.

Diddy has denied the accusations details in multiple lawsuits. He is currently awaiting trial following his arrest in September on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy.

50 Cent Deploys KRS-One To Bash JAY-Z & Diddy With AI Arrest Video 

50 Cent is having a field day with the latest shocking developments in the Sean “Diddy” Combs scandal after JAY-Z was implicated in a new filing. 

The G-Unit founder, who recently revealed how he really feels about his fellow Hip-Hop moguls, has been waging troll warfare against the Bad Boy Records founder for over a year. 

He added Hov to the campaign and has been trolling the pair incessantly since a woman accused the Roc Nation boss and Diddy of assaulting her in 2022 when she was 13 years old.  

50 Cent took to Instagram on Tuesday (December 10) to repost an AI-assisted video of JAY-Z and 50 Cent getting hauled off by the cops. Adding fuel to the already roaring fire, Fif soundtracked the video with KRS-One’s iconic anti-cop anthem, “Sound of da Police.” 

“I want to post this but I’m afraid I’m gonna get shot LOL,” he joked in the caption.

Fans on the comment sections couldn’t get enough of 50’s trolling with one writing, “LMFAOOO if you had your own talk show I’d watch. ” Another crowned him “TROLL OF THE YEAR!!!” 

Meanwhile, battle rapper and Wild N’ Out star Charron added, “You can tell 50 has no skeletons in his closet the way he calls out everyone. Real one.” 

JAY-Z and Diddy are accused of taking turns raping a 13-year-old girl at an afterparty following the 2000 Video Music Awards. The lawsuit was initially filed in October with Diddy as the sole defendant.  

Texas attorney Tony Buzbee filed the amended complaint implicating Hov on Sunday (December 8). 

50 Cent Reacts To Reports Of JAY-Z & Diddy Allegations

Without hours, 50 Cent latched onto his target, taunting JAY-Z over his partnership with the NFL. He also mocked him for attending a movie premier with Beyoncé and his eldest daughter, Blue Ivy Carter.  

JAY-Z swiftly and vigorously denied the claims. His attorneys are asking for an expedited hearing and for the Jane Doe accuser’s anonymity to be lifted.  

Tiny Harris Addresses Rumors Son King Not Newborn Baby’s Father

Tiny Harris shared a festive family photo featuring her new baby grandson amid rumors her son King is not the infant’s father. 

On Tuesday (December 11) the Xscape singer shared some adorable behind-the-scenes images from a Christmas-themed shoot. The photos were taken from T.I. and Tiny’s daughter, Heiress Harris’ music videos for her upcoming Christmas songs. 

Tiny explained that Heiress “has been a busy girl,” and shot two music videos. “As u can see we got most of the family together to support their lil sis video!” she added. 

However, the R&B singer also took the opportunity to shoot down recent rumors about the paternity of King’s little boy. Tiny questioned how the person responsible for spreading the gossip was getting their information and warned she might have to teach them a lesson. 

“Don’t believe all the lies u read,” Tiny urged. “Ppl just use them for clickbait!! How in the hell would this person know anything about what we did or did not do!! Sometimes ppl gotta learn the hard way tho & I don’t mi d teaching the lesson.”

Speculation about the baby surfaced following a viral TikTok video claiming that “word on the streets” suggested T.I. was upset after a paternity test revealed King was not the father. 

However, King’s big sister Zonnique Pullins shut down the claims. “lol what street this word come off of chile,” she tweeted

“Baby K” is Keeping King Harris Up All Night

Meanwhile, King recently revealed he was settling into fatherhood and adapting to endless sleepless nights.

Young Thug Seeks Probation Amendment For Holiday Gatherings In Atlanta 

Young Thug is asking the court to amend the terms of his 15-year probation to allow him to visit relatives and attend family gatherings in Atlanta for the holidays. 

Judge Whitaker slapped Thug with multiple strict conditions as part of his non-negotiated plea in the YSL RICO case, including a ban from the metro Atlanta area for the first 10 years of his probation. 

However, Young Thug and his attorney reportedly filed a motion to amend the terms of his probation less than two months after accepting the deal. He is also asking for permission to live in or visit his home in the prohibited district. 

“Mr. Williams has family in the metro Atlanta area,” the motion reads in part, per WSBTV. “Specifically in the Atlanta, Georgia area and respectfully requests the ability to reside/visit, at times, in his home located in the city in the attached, under seal, document so that he can have family gatherings for holidays and other lawful reasons with his family, friends and business associates, which is a home already owned by Mr. Williams.” 

Additionally, Thug’s attorney shared concerns for the rapper’s privacy. Florida law requires his address to be made public. However, Thugger’s attorneys asked that his Florida home address not be listed on a public website. 

Even if a judge agrees, it’s uncertain if Young Thug will make it back to his Atlanta home for the holidays. His legal team requested a hearing to consider the amendment. However, there is currently no date for a hearing on the motion. 

Young Thug Wants Off Probation

Meanwhile, Young Thug recently asked his lawyer, Keith Adams, to “get me off this probation.” 

Adams happened to be in the middle of a live interview with Tiffany Adams when Thug called.  

Adams revealed that Young Thug has some regrets over taking a plea deal. He said Thug called him after the final two YSL defendants walked free from jail. They were acquitted of all charges, with the exception of a gun charge for Stillwell.  

“His reaction was twofold,” the attorney explained. “He was happy for [Gotti] and for Stillwell. Very happy. He was happy that they’re coming home. There was a part of him I think that was thinking, we probably should have gone all the way ’cause we would have been walking out of there with a not guilty verdict as well.” 

He added, “There came a point where Jeffery made a decision to enter that plea and go home that day, and he did. So his reaction, he was happy for them [but] there was a little bit of regret on his part.” 

50 Cent Teases Doc On UnitedHealthcare CEO Shooting Suspect: “He Is Special!” 

50 Cent is already issuing his apologies after revealing his plans to make a documentary about Luigi Mangione, the suspect in the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. 

The rapper and film and television mogul took to Instagram on Tuesday (December 10), to share the idea. 50 Cent posted an image of a portion of the 262-page manifesto allegedly found on Mangione when he was detained Monday (December 9). 

“I don’t know, I kinda like this killer,” he captioned the since-deleted post. “I’m sorry this is going this way it is but I’m doing a documentary on him, he is special! I apologize in advance for anyone who doesn’t understand.”

A post shared by AllHipHop (@allhiphopcom)

The section shared by the G-Unit boss reads: “To the Feds, I’ll keep this short, because I do respect what you do for our country. To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn’t working with anyone. This was fairly trivial: some elementary social engineering, basic CAD, and a lot of patience. The spiral notebook, if present, has some straggling notes and To Do lists that illuminate the gist of it.” 

Authorities arrested 26-year-old Luigi Mangione at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, in connection to the fatal shooting. He was apprehended after an employee recognized him from media coverage and alerted police. 

Along with the alleged manifesto and multiple fake IDs, authorities seized a 3D-printed “ghost gun” equipped with a suppressor, consistent with the weapon used in the shooting. They also recovered clothing and a mask matching witness descriptions of the suspect. 

Luigi Mangione Charged In Connection With Death Of Brian Thompson

On Tuesday, Mangione, a former data engineer and Ivy League graduate was charged with murder in the death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York on December 4. He was denied bail and is fighting extradition to New York. 

He made a scene in front of reporters as he arrived for his extradition hearing this afternoon, yelling, “It’s completely out of touch and an insult to the intelligence of the American people.” 

50 Cent’s announcement about a possible documentary on the CEO shooting suspect arrived on the same day he launched his new free live TV channel, 50 Cent Action Channel on Roku. 

G-Unit Film & Television partnered with Lionsgate. The channel will feature the production company’s catalog of over 2,000 titles in addition to films curated by 50, including movies he’s starred in.

Floyd Mayweather Breaks Silence Following Altercation With Angry Mob In London 

Floyd Mayweather was doing some jewelry shopping in London when he was confronted by an angry mob and forced to make a sharp exit. 

The boxing legend was browsing the stores in London’s historic jeweler quarter, Hatton Garden, on Tuesday (December 10). He appeared to be window shopping, eyeing up potential when things went left. 

Footage surfaced online showing a chaotic scene with a large mob surrounding Mayweather. In one clip, Mayweather is seen arguing with the group as his security attempts to bundle him into an awaiting vehicle. 

Tensions escalated as the hostile crowd jeered and heckled the champion fighter as his entourage tried to get Mayweather off the scene. 

While it’s unclear what kicked off the confrontation, a rep for Mayweather reportedly claimed it stemmed from the boxer’s support for Israel amid the conflict with Palestine. 

Additionally, a member of his security team reported the 47-year-old was subjected to racial slurs. Multiple witnesses alleged Mayweather was physically attacked during the incident. 

However, Mayweather denied the rumors in a statement on Instagram Tuesday evening.  

“Let me set the record straight,” he began. “There’s no truth to the rumors going around. I wasn’t punched or touched in any way. What you’re seeing is just my security doing their job to keep things under control.” 

Floyd Mayweather said he was in London for a spot of shopping, but “unfortunately, people let jealousy and negativity fuel false stories.” 

He concluded his statement by insisting, “I’m perfectly fine,” before putting the matter behind him.

Ben Baller Addresses His Kendrick Lamar’s “GNX” Criticism Amid Drake Bias Backlash

Ben Baller has changed up his tune when it comes to his previous criticism of Kendrick Lamar’s surprise GNX album after being accused of favoring Drake over the West Coast MC.

The well-known celebrity jeweler and cultural commentator didn’t hold back during a fiery segment on his latest podcast episode addressing the backlash he’s facing after admitting to skipping all the songs on GNX.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by AllHipHop (@allhiphopcom)

Critics accused him of being biased due to his longstanding ties with Drake, one of his high-profile clients, but Baller came armed with receipts and a sharp tongue.

“I think people got me f##### up saying that, you know, I was hating on dude,” Ben Baller started off. “I said I skipped every track. It’s not really too much I like, right? I like ‘squabble up.’ There’s a couple things here and there.”

Dismissing claims that he’s a “Drake d#ck rider,” Baller explained that his history with Kendrick Lamar and Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith of Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE) runs deep.

“I’ve known Kendrick for 20 years. I’ve known Top, m############ TDE, for 20 years,” he emphasized. “Two T’s is in my motorcycle gang with me. We in the same g###### motorcycle gang, and Two T’s is Kendrick’s right-hand man and Top’s right-hand man.”

He reinforced that their relationships are solid, saying, “We all cool. We good.”

However, Baller had sharp words for those who jumped to conclusions about his comments. “You say s##t, and people say stupid things like, ‘F#ck you, GNX.’ You don’t f##king know my relationship with Kendrick,'” he declared.

There’s no denying that the bond between Baller and Lamar runs deep, as well as his connections to TDE. Earlier this year, ScHoolboy Q laughed with the Baller during a podcast interview about he and his associate’s plans to rob the jewelry designer more than 10 years ago when he was still an up-and-coming rapper.

Earlier this summer, Baller revealed he designed the custom iced-out crucifix chain Lamar wore during his celebratory Juneteenth concert during which he trolled Drake over the 2Pac’s ring that he purchased at an auction.

“L.A. went crazy tonight,” he tweeted. “And Dot had my ice around his neck all night. $600k cross shuts it down. Nobody better and he knew who to call.”

It’s also worth noting that Baller also has extremely close ties with Drake, who’s been a client for more than a decade. In a 2011 tweet, he shared an image of Drake rocking a pair of pieces he crafted for the Toronto rap star while roasting Drizzy haters in the process.

“My homey @champagnepapi rockin a thermal by polo, vest by moncler, watch & Cali chain by me, hating by you,” he wrote in the caption of the post.

J. Cole’s Manager Reveals Dreamville Fest Is Coming To An End

J. Cole’s manager, Ibrahim Hamad, has revealed his true feelings about Dreamville Fest amid the news of its upcoming discontinuation.

On Tuesday(December 10), the celebrated music event founded by rapper J. Cole and his Dreamville record label announced its fifth and final iteration will take place in April 2025, bringing an emotional close to one of North Carolina’s most iconic cultural gatherings. Hamad, who’s also the president of Dreamville Records, shared heartfelt reflections on social media following the announcement, thanking fans and the festival team for their contributions to its success.

“Thank you, North Carolina,” Hamad wrote in a tweet. “Thank you to everyone who’s travelled from all over the last 4 years to enjoy our little family reunion. This Festival is something a lot of people have been working very hard to bring you, and it’s honestly been a dream come true seeing the impact.”

Hamad expressed his appreciation for the effort behind the scenes and the fans who made it all worthwhile in a follow-up tweet.

“I love y’all for real,” he continued. “Y’all don’t know how hard and how much work it takes to bring y’all this event, but just know y’all make it more than worth it every year. I can be here all day if I have to name everyone that works they ass off for this, but we gon celebrate this one. Love.”

The Dreamville Festival first launched in 2019 and quickly earned a reputation as a must-attend event for music lovers across the globe. Held annually in Raleigh, North Carolina, the festival brought together fans of Hip-Hop, R&B and more for a weekend of stellar performances and community vibes.

Over the years, its stages have hosted some of the biggest names in music, including Drake, USHER, Burna Boy and, of course, J. Cole alongside appearances from the entire Dreamville roster. While fans are sad to see it come to an end, Hamad’s words suggest 2025 will be a celebration to remember.

Megan Fox & MGK Split—Blood Drinking Ritual Failed?

Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly, whose whirlwind relationship has consistently drawn public attention, are once again making headlines after reports claim the pair have parted ways.

The breakup came shortly after the couple announced they were expecting their first child together.

The Transformers actress, 38, and the 34-year-old rapper reportedly called it quits over Thanksgiving weekend while vacationing in Vail, Colorado.

The outlet reported Tuesday that Fox discovered “material on MGK’s phone that was upsetting,” prompting her to ask him to leave the trip early.

MGK complied, and the couple, who were engaged in January 2022, has reportedly not seen each other since.

While reports painted a picture of an allegedly abrupt split, Us Weekly offered a slightly different perspective, suggesting this could be yet another bump in an already turbulent relationship.

“The pair could very well be back together” in the future, their sources claimed, leaving fans questioning the finality of the breakup. Fox and MGK’s relationship has been nothing short of dramatic.

The two began dating in 2020 after meeting on the set of the indie film Midnight in the Switchgrass.

Following two years of public displays of affection, matching outfits, and their joint love of metaphysical symbolism, the couple briefly broke up in March of 2022 before reconciling.

Just last month, Megan Fox made waves by announcing her pregnancy with a bold, nude photoshoot that highlighted her growing baby bump, as well as by sharing a photo of a positive pregnancy test.

Fox, who shares three children with her ex-husband, Beverly Hills, 90210 actor Brian Austin Green, now faces questions about her future with Baker, who is father to 15-year-old Casie from a previous relationship.

Meek Mill Attacked By Scandal Ridden Ex NFL Star Over Reaction To JAY-Z Allegations

Former NFL player Le’Veon Bell is rehashing the allegations against Meek Mill and simultaneously the ones against himself as the news cycle surrounding the recently refiled sexual assault lawsuit against JAY-Z and Diddy continues.

In a string of Instagram Story posts he shared on Tuesday (December 10), Bell roasted Meek Mill over several of his recent remarks on Twitter. In his initial posts, Bell appeared to drag the Philadelphia rapper over his comments regarding the “matrix” that spawns from “false narratives” that arise after a major celebrity such as JAY-Z being named in a lawsuit.

“Meek probably need to sit this one out.. lol,” Bell wrote in a post featuring a screenshot of the tweet interposed over a photo of the pair. He added in the caption, “He really doesn’t want to beat them allegations does he?”

Bell continued in a follow-up post in which he trolled Meek Mill over his denial about selling out for money or fame.

“Meek so funny bro,” he said before following up in another post in which he made fun of the “Dreams And Nightmares” rapper over his viral bunny hopping video shared by his billionaire friend Michael Rubin.

“Ain’t sell your soul, huh?” he quipped in the caption of the post.

After posting his cyber assault on Meek Mill, Bell proceeded to send a direct shot at HOV in a meme depicting the Roc Nation mogul as the fictional character Tyrone Biggums from Chappelle’s Show.

“Got anymore of them pardons,” the meme reads, to which Bell appeared entertained by and wrote “I’m crying” in a caption in response.

And while it may appear all fun and games for Bell, he may not want to attempt to call individuals out over the allegations they face, considering he has barely escaped the woodwork stemming from a scandal of his own which erupted on Twitter last month. a Twitter user whose handle is @lexishexx set out on an initiative to put men on blast for reaching out to her via direct messages, despite spewing transphobic remarks to their following. The user indicated that they were moved to call out the individuals, who are both everyday average Joe’s and celebrities, over their collective support for Trump.

“Outing all DL [down low] men including celebrities that ever hit me up and post about Trump idgaf,” Lex wrote in their initial tweet.

Lex used the tweet as a springboard to outing Bell as one of the users who are transphobic on their timelines, yet also allegedly fetishize her in private. In doing so, she shared a screenshot of a DM from him and, as a result, Bell became the sole perpetrator to be wrapped up in the campaign that has since gone viral.

NBA Youngboy Sentenced, Fined And Gets Long Probation

Rapper NBA YoungBoy struck a deal with prosecutors that resulted in a 23-month federal prison sentence on Tuesday (December 10), following guilty pleas to firearms charges linked to separate incidents in Louisiana and Utah.

The 24-year-old, born Kentrell DeSean Gaulden, entered a plea agreement in U.S. District Court for the District of Utah, admitting to two counts of felon in possession of a firearm.

Central to the case was the discovery of a Glock .45-caliber pistol and a Masterpiece Arms 9mm weapon featured in a Louisiana music video in 2020, as well as a Sig Sauer 9mm handgun found during a 2024 search of Gaulden’s home in Utah.

Federal documents presented in court outlined how NBA YoungBoy, previously convicted of aggravated assault with a firearm in Louisiana, was barred from possessing any weapons.

His legal troubles began in September 2020 when police in Baton Rouge arrested him during the filming of a music video. Investigators later tied two firearms to the rapper.

Years later, in Utah, law enforcement serving a federal warrant at his Huntsville residence discovered another pistol.

Under the terms of the agreement, NBA YoungBoy was credited for time served since May 2024.

The deal also includes a five-year probation period upon his release, during which he must adhere to strict conditions.

Additionally, NBA YoungBoy was fined $200,000 and agreed to forfeit the firearms seized during the investigation.

Stunning Allegation From JAY-Z’s Legal Team Exposes Tony Buzbee

JAY-Z’s legal team alleges that Anthony Buzbee, the attorney representing the plaintiff in a high-profile lawsuit against the music mogul, is orchestrating a campaign of fabricated claims in an attempt to extort millions.

The accusations were filed in a New York court, where Jane Doe—a pseudonym for the plaintiff—claims the rapper and entrepreneur, along with Sean “Diddy” Combs, assaulted her after an MTV awards afterparty in 2000.

Attorney Alex Spiro, representing JAY-Z, outlined severe allegations against Buzbee’s firm in new court filings, claiming a previously anonymous woman approached the firm with unrelated charges of abuse and trafficking.

According to one of JAY-Z’s other lawyers, Mari Henderson, the woman’s testimony disclosed that she was pressured by Buzbee’s team to falsely implicate the Roc Nation boss and other high-profile figures in exchange for pursuing a lucrative civil case.

“The woman spoke with three members of Mr. Buzbee’s firm and provided details regarding her experiences as a victim of trafficking by celebrities entirely unrelated to Mr. Combs (or Mr. Carter), and she was told they would take on her representation,” JAY-Z’s lawyer Mari Henderson explained. “After detailing her experiences to an attorney at Mr. Buzbee’s firm, he pressed for a connection to Mr. Combs, asking ‘at what point did you meet Diddy,’ even though she made clear that her case was unrelated to Mr. Combs.”

“Mr. Buzbee’s firm pressed for this woman to pursue a civil case as an anonymous Doe plaintiff, even though she never raised proceeding anonymously as a possibility and questioned doing so after it was heavily suggested to remain doing so, even though she was not interested in remaining anonymous at the time,” Henderson added.

Henderson said members of Buzbee”s lawfirm dissuaded her from going to law enforcement.

After not hearing from the law firm for weeks, the anonymous woman contacted members of the Buzbee firm, who allegedly “pressed her to confirm false details regarding her experiences as a victim, including that she was drugged, held down, pushed, and physically assaulted.”

“When the woman made clear she was unwilling to adapt to the narrative Mr. Buzbee’s firm laid out and wanted only to speak her truth, she was dropped as a client and told that Mr. Buzbee’s firm was unwilling to represent her any longer,” Henderson said.

The woman said now she is terrified that she will be retaliated against by Tony Buzbee.

Spiro stated in a letter sent to Judge Analisa Torres that this account reveals a troubling strategy engineered by Buzbee’s team to leverage celebrity notoriety for financial settlements.

In the ongoing legal proceedings, JAY-Z’s attorneys have filed a separate motion asking the court to deny Jane Doe’s request to remain anonymous.

Spiro has argued that transparency in the case is paramount, contending that anonymity allows allegations to go unchallenged, unfairly tarnishing reputations without sufficient evidence.

JAY-Z has categorically denied all allegations and labeled the case and Buzbee’s alleged actions as “a shakedown.”

The court has yet to decide on the motion regarding anonymity.

 

Cardi B Reveals She Was Reported To CPS Over Newborn—Denies Her Children Are Being Abused

Cardi B has once again found herself within the crosshairs of a state-run watchdog agency, but this time, it’s causing a full-blown war of words and emotions.

During a recent Instagram Live session, the rap superstar launched into a furious rant alleging that Child Protective Services (CPS) has been harassing her and her family in what she described as an ongoing nightmare fueled by baseless claims and social media trolls.

The saga began in October after Cardi revealed an anonymous individual reported her to CPS, alleging her children had been abused amid her spats online with a YouTuber and her own fans.

Now, the “WAP” rapper has revealed that CPS has returned to her home following their initial visit and apparently pressured her to investigate her home, examine her children and demand information about her newborn daughter with Offset. In her impassioned rant, Cardi B wasted no time venting her frustration with CPS and authorities as a whole.

“A month later, because I didn’t give them my kids’ information, now they want to fake come back to my house again, interview my kids, look at my kids,” Cardi began. “Why are you harassing me for my daughter’s information? What that has to do with anything? My daughter doesn’t even have a social security because I don’t want nobody knowing her name, her information, anything.”

The drama doesn’t stop at bureaucratic intrusion. Cardi B revealed that false alarm calls to their Georgia home have previously escalated to dangerous levels.

“I remember this one time that they called the cops saying that somebody got shot in my house in Georgia,” she shared.

The alleged hoax resulted in armed officers storming the property and an intense standoff involving Offset’s uncle.

“There were cops that went to my house with rifles putting guns on Offset uncle’s head,” she said. “We stay quiet about it every other time people are calling the cops on our house.”

The situation has pushed Cardi to the brink, with her motherly instincts fully activated as she fiercely defends her children.

“None of my kids have ever got touched,” she said. “None of my kids ever got a little pow-pow, a little whooping, a little nothing. None of that. On my mama, whoever the f##k you is, you probably a b##h, n###a. Or a fan. Whoever the f##k did this, on my mama, real bad crosses finna come to your way. Real bad crosses.”

Cardi B has been dealing with a number of issues surrounding her privacy and her children in a very public fashion recently. In another similar livestream, she clapped back at a troll who suggested she needed a DNA test for her daughter with Offset and additionally addressed Nicki Minaj’s Barbz over claims they were creating AI-generated images of her children being abused by their father.
