A$AP Rocky is putting fatherhood and faith front and center as he awaits the arrival of his third child with Rihanna, revealing he’s “praying” for a daughter in a new interview with Elle published Tuesday.
The Harlem-born rapper and style icon, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, said he and Rihanna are choosing to be surprised by the baby’s sex this time around.
“I hope it’s a girl. I really do. We’re praying for a girl,” he told the outlet. “Our first time, we wanted to know the sex of the baby. The second time, we didn’t want to know. Third time, we don’t want to know until, you know.”
Already parents to two sons, three-year-old RZA and two-year-old Riot, the couple is preparing to expand their family once more. Rocky, 36, said this pregnancy feels different from the others, a detail he believes could point to a baby girl.
“I feel like it’s going to be a girl,” he said. “This pregnancy is so different from the other two. You can tell from the experience. I hope it’s a baby girl, man. I need that.”
The “Praise the Lord” artist opened up about his evolving role as a father and how it’s reshaped his priorities. “What’s really fly is raising a family, bro, and loving them. Being there,” he said.
Rocky also addressed the delay of his upcoming album Don’t Be Dumb, which has yet to receive a release date.
While he didn’t directly blame his legal issues—he stood trial earlier this year in connection to a 2021 shooting—he acknowledged that life has shifted.
“I don’t want to primarily blame it on my case, but life was lifeing,” he said. “We don’t plan on having children, but when it happens, you gotta adjust and move with it. I gotta be present for my family, because that’s first.”
A$AP Rocky and Rihanna have been together since 2019 and their growing family continues to be a major focus for both artists as they juggle parenthood, music and business.
The couple’s third child is expected sometime later this year.
Christian Combs pleaded with a federal judge in New York to release his father, Sean “Diddy” Combs, from jail ahead of his October 3 sentencing, calling him “the best father you could ever imagine” and describing the emotional toll of his absence.
In a handwritten letter to U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian, Christian described the pain he and his siblings have endured since Diddy’s incarceration.
“I’m asking you to please let my father out of jail! He does not deserve to be there and I know this from the bottom of my heart!!” he wrote.
Christian’s message was one of several submitted to the court by Diddy’s children and close supporters, all urging leniency as the Hip-Hop mogul awaits sentencing following his conviction on federal charges related to prostitution.
Diddy, whose legal name is Sean Combs, was arrested in September 2024 and later found guilty on two counts of interstate transportation for prostitution.
He was acquitted on the more serious racketeering and sex trafficking charges, but still faces up to 20 years in prison.
Christian’s letter painted a picture of a devoted father who remained a constant source of love, support and motivation.
“He has never ever taught me anything but to treat people with the most respect possible and to never be entitled and to always work for what I want and to treat people with love and kindness most importantly!”
He credited Diddy for inspiring his own music career and shaping his character. “He is the reason that I make music and the reason I am the person I am today!” he wrote.
Christian recalled how his father celebrated birthdays and holidays with unmatched energy and care, and how he lifted him up during his lowest moments.
“Every birthday every holiday he would go above and beyond for me and for every accomplishment and even days when I was feeling my lowest he would pick me up and make me feel Great!!”
He added, “He is really the best father you could ever imagine and I could put everything on that! And go toe to toe with any son in the world and I know for a fact they do not have an all around better father than my dad is. No disrespect to you if you have kids but I know my father.”
Christian also spoke about the emotional weight of losing his mother, Kim Porter, and now facing the possibility of life without his father.
“Me and my sisters and brother don’t have a mom. With my dad still in jail it feels like I have no one at all. And it’s really a scary feeling. That I cant take. Please please dont make this feeling a reality. I would not be able to handle that at all. Please God please judge! Please let my father out of jail!! Thank you so much!”
Other members of the Combs family also submitted letters to Judge Subramanian. Justin Combs, Diddy’s eldest son, described his father as a mentor not just to his children, but to many others in their community.
“He opened his arms to them as if they were his own. To the world, he may be a superstar, but to me he is my world.”
Chance Combs, Diddy’s daughter, emphasized her father’s role at home.
“It doesn’t feel right at home without him here. We miss him every day, and I know how much he wants to be with us and face this situation responsibly.”
Jessie and D’Lila Combs, Diddy’s twin daughters, who are now 18, reflected on the trauma of losing their mother and now facing the absence of their father.
“On that day, it felt like we had lost everything. Ever since then, we have been forced to navigate our lives during an extremely hard and overwhelming time without parents.”
Despite being in custody, the twins said their father continues to show his love.
“He has tried his best to still try to communicate and check on all his kids despite the conditions he is in because he truly does love and care for all his kids and family.”
Letters from close friends and colleagues also poured in, many describing Diddy as a generous figure who helped others pursue their goals and gave back to his community.
Supporters urged the judge to consider rehabilitation and therapy over continued incarceration, arguing that Diddy could contribute more meaningfully outside prison.
Diddy’s legal team has argued that his time behind bars since his arrest in September 2024 should count toward any sentence. However, Judge Subramanian denied bail after the verdict, citing Diddy’s documented history of domestic violence.
The federal case against Diddy included charges of racketeering, sex trafficking and prostitution.
He was acquitted on the racketeering and trafficking counts but convicted on two charges related to transporting individuals for prostitution, including his former partner, Cassie Ventura and unnamed male sex workers.
The trial, which drew national attention, ended with Diddy dropping to his knees in prayer while his family wept in the courtroom. Many observers viewed the split verdict as a partial legal win for the defense.
Adrien Broner was once celebrated as one of boxing’s flashiest champions but this weekend the 35-year-old fighter made headlines for all the wrong reasons after a chaotic restaurant confrontation went viral.
Video circulating online shows Broner in a heated back-and-forth with staff and later police officers over an unpaid bill of roughly $2,200. The footage captures him visibly intoxicated as workers attempt to rein him in before law enforcement steps in to calm the escalating scene.
Broner, who has built his brand on arrogance and flamboyance, has struggled to keep his name out of controversy since his prime years in the ring. The Cincinnati native last fought in June 2024, grinding out a decision victory that briefly fueled talk of a return. Still, ongoing questions about his discipline and commitment have overshadowed any serious comeback conversations.
This latest incident piles onto a troubling pattern of legal scrapes and public spectacles that have chipped away at the reputation of the four-division world champion. Once hyped as the natural heir to Floyd Mayweather Jr., Broner’s career narrative has been dominated just as much by outside-the-ring drama as by his achievements between the ropes.
As of Monday, Broner and his team had yet to comment publicly, and it remains unclear whether authorities filed any charges following the restaurant standoff. The silence leaves room for speculation, fueling yet another chapter in a career defined by both triumph and turbulence.
For a fighter who was once seen as boxing’s next big superstar, the images of him clashing with restaurant employees over a tab serve as a sobering reminder of how quickly the spotlight can shift from glory to infamy.
B King and his longtime collaborator Regio Clown were found dead in Mexico after vanishing under suspicious circumstances while visiting the capital for a music event.
The Colombian reggaeton artist, whose real name was Bayron Sánchez, and his DJ, 35-year-old Jorge Luis Herrera, were last seen on September 16 heading to a gym in Mexico City’s upscale Polanco neighborhood.
Their bodies were discovered the next day in Cocotitlán, a municipality in Mexico state, but were not officially identified until Monday, September 22.
Both men were reportedly bound and wrapped in black plastic bags, according to local media reports. Their disappearance and violent deaths have drawn widespread attention across Latin America, igniting diplomatic involvement and public outrage.
Colombian President Gustavo Petro addressed the tragedy on his X account, writing, “They murdered our youth. More young people murdered by an anti-drug policy that isn’t an anti-drug-trafficker policy.”
Le solicito a la presidenta de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos, Claudia Sheinbaum, mi amiga y compañera de lucha desde el M19, y a todo el cuerpo diplomático de Colombia en México, lograr que aparezcan con vida el cantante Bayron Sánchez y su coequipero Jorge Herrera.… pic.twitter.com/z1r5TsqyoS
The two artists had performed just days earlier at the Sin Censura Independence Day event on September 14 at Electro Lab, a nightclub in Mexico City known for electronic and urban music. The event marked one of their last public appearances.
Family members of B King traveled to Mexico to confirm his identity after days of uncertainty. The 31-year-old artist, who hailed from Santander, Colombia, had been building a following in the reggaeton and corrido scenes.
The Colombian government reportedly reached out to Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum to assist in the search efforts before the bodies were confirmed.
JT dragged Cardi B through the mud after catching strays on Cardi’s new album AM I THE DRAMA? and things got real ugly real quick.
The City Girls rapper clapped back on social media with some claims involving Cardi’s boyfriend, Stefon Diggs.
JT posted a clip of a man named Chris Blake Griffith accusing Diggs of assault during an interview with blogger Tasha K.
“CARDI B BABY FATHER A GAY MAN!!!!!!!!! Not because of how he dress or express his self but because CHRIS said it out of his mouth!!!! JUSTICE FOR CHRIS I stand with the gays!!!!!,” JT wrote.
She didn’t stop there. JT followed it up by writing: “This is f###### NUTTS & sad! Gay men should be protected. I feel like this isn’t being taken seriously enough.”
The whole thing popped off after Cardi threw jabs at JT on her track “Magnet,” calling her envious and taking shots at her relationship with Lil Uzi Vert.
JT wasn’t about to let that slide and went full throttle on X, calling Cardi “a FRAUD non rapping hoe” and slamming her for weak bars.
“B#### couldn’t even find a word to rhyme with fake! We saw it with our own eyes,” she snapped.
No idgaf if that b#### sale 1 million units she gone always be a FRAUD non rapping hoe. b#### couldn't even find a word to rhyme with fake! We saw it with our own eyes
Cardi didn’t stay quiet either. She clapped back at the Diggs accusations, saying, “Chris lied because he was stealing and got caught.. there’s receipts for that. He lied on Gervonta Davis too and changed the story 1000 times.”
Things got worse when Cardi came for Uzi’s rocking purses and JT defended her man hard. “Yes my man does this! mind his business works hard, take care of his family! inspired his generation & doesn’t snatch ass! His style is what made him LIL UZI!!!!”
I want justice for them babies ya man make you abort everytime…ask what he told me about how he felt when he wanted to see Britt in that court room and she didn’t show up or do I need to play the audio?? And don’t let me say what he was sayin about Roc Nation.. JUST UNGRATEFUL pic.twitter.com/66vWdMSiXE
Cardi then hit JT with a low blow, dragging her personal life into the mess: “I want justice for them babies ya man make you abort everytime…ask what he told me about how he felt when he wanted to see Britt in that court room and she didn’t show up.”
Cardi called JT a “lapdog,” JT fired back with “wiener dog” and there’s been bad blood ever since.
The beef’s been fueled by more than lyrics. There’ve been rumors about ghostwriters, fake friendships, and industry loyalty. Cardi’s ties with GloRilla and JT’s link to Nicki Minaj have only made it messier.
Cardi B is taking over the New York City subway and the Billboard charts in one wild week, proving she truly runs her city and your playlist.
The Bronx-bred rap queen is now the unexpected but totally perfect voice of the MTA’s subway public service announcements, throwing out hilarious one-liners like “steps are for stepping, not sitting. Move it, Bucko!” and “these trains don’t move without you, so make sure you pay that fare and keep it real.”
That voice you hear telling you to stop subway surfing and “ride safe, keep it cute and keep it moving” is none other than Cardi herself.
The MTA linked up with her to bring some energy to those dull station speakers and the rollout is already making noise online. The video drop of her announcements had people cracking up and actually paying attention, with over 12,000 likes.
This entire subway takeover is tied to the rollout of her second album, Am I The Drama?, which already hit platinum status on its first day, according to Billboard and has clocked over 100 million streams.
She made headlines selling CDs on the streets and on the train, as if it were 2005. In one promo clip, she joked that her label slashed her budget to $50 after a music video shoot, so she had to hustle her own records underground — literally.
Now she’s everywhere — in your headphones, on your commute, and soon on stage. Her Little Miss Drama Tour is already booked for Madison Square Garden and Prudential Center next spring.
No word on how long the MTA partnership will last, but let’s be real — Cardi B yelling “Move it, Bucko!” might be the only thing that gets New Yorkers to actually move.
Mikey D Talks MC Serch, Main Source and His Next Chapter
Hip-Hop history is full of behind-the-scenes battles, and Mikey D has lived through more than a few. The Queens MC came up the rough way. He battled the likes of LL COOL J and Melle Mel. But, he had a historic turn as part of Main Source. He’s now gearing up to drop new music that blends nostalgia with growth. But he has some unfinished business. Recently, Mikey D has been back in headlines over his issues with MC Serch, a name tied to both classic Hip-Hop and controversy. Serch has been accused by Mikey of twisting history, misrepresenting his name and damaging his reputation in ways that couldn’t be ignored.
In an exclusive interview with AllHipHop, Mikey D breaks down the real story about his issues with Serch, details explosive incidents from the ’90s and explains why he’s ready to unleash “Mikey Destruction” once again. With his new album on the way, a diss track loaded and new energy for the mic, Mikey D is making it clear—the truth always prevails.
Check out an edited Q&A with the full video interview below.
AllHipHop: First off, thanks for joining me. You’ve always been one of the dopest MCs, past and present. How you feeling right now?
Mikey D: I’m good, man. I appreciate you. Back in the day [being the best] meant a little bit more, you know. But today I’m back on that. With this new album, you’re going to hear that nostalgic Mikey D. I’ve been on some mature, almost educational music, butI missed the old me., so I had to unleash some of that.
AllHipHop: I noticed some grumblings online recently, especially around you and MC Serch. What’s really going on there?Somebody I talked to stressed to me “your name is your name.”
Mikey D: Not only did he mispronounce my name, he dragged my reputation along with Main Source. He villainized us, made himself the victim and fabricated a story. None of it matched up. Serch is somebody people listen to, so when he twists history, it hurts my name. Folks were even asking if I was running some Death Row-type situation. That’s crazy.
AllHipHop:For those who don’t know, what incident are we talking about?
Mikey D: This goes back to when I joined Main Source. Large Professor had gone solo, and we still owed Wild Pitch Records another album. At the time, Serch was vice president of marketing there.
When I first got down, Serch pulled me into his office. He said, “I don’t trust those guys [Main Source], I don’t trust their manager. You’re my man, so I’ll hook you up with the same lawyer I got Large Pro with.” Then he said, “If this conversation leaves this office, I’m going to deny everything. And remember, Mikey, I know people.”
“Serch told me, ‘If this conversation leaves this office, I’m going to deny everything. And remember, Mikey, I know people.’ I took that as a threat.”
I took that as a straight threat. I let it slide because I didn’t want to mess up the opportunity, but I never forgot it.
AllHipHop:And then things spilled over?
Mikey D: Yeah. There were situations in California. We were supposed to perform two songs on Soul Train. We only got to do one because Serch was sticking Nas and Main Source stickers on audience members during the taping. Don Cornelius wasn’t having it.
“Don Cornelius was not happy when Serch started sticking Nas and Main Source stickers on the Soul Train dancers.”
He also twisted up stories about a club incident. He claims he was in the car scared with some program director, but I was standing next to the dude with the shotgun. Redman was with me that night. We dipped out because it got real. Serch wasn’t even in the mix like that.
And then there was the Wild Pitch press conference. He tells this story about guns being pulled, women crying, all that. None of that happened. What did happen was I had my Twin Towers [his massive security-like homeboys] with me, and yeah, we kicked his office door down after all that slick talk.
He was so shook he literally tried to climb over a sheetrock divider near the window. His pregnant wife was there, and out of respect for her, I stopped it right then.
“If anything, Serch needs to thank his pregnant wife that day—she saved him from the beatdown.”
AllHipHop: That’s a wild visual. So for you, this was about correcting the record?
Mikey D: Exactly. I gave him 48 hours to make it right. I even apologized to him on Instagram years back for my ignorance in those days. I have a heart. But he cut me deep by twisting my history. People from our era knew not to say my name lightly. He crossed a line with lies, and I can’t let that stand.
AllHipHop:So what’s the next move?
Mikey D: The bars are coming. I’m dropping a track called “F.U.N.” That stands for “F##k U Now.” I’m about to “Serch” and destroy.
This isn’t clout chasing, this is just me being me. Truth always prevails. And here’s the kicker: Serch actually reunited me with K-Cut through this. So you’re about to hear Main Source 2.0.
AllHipHop: When will we hear this record and your album?
Mikey D: The album’s done. It’ll drop in November for Hip-Hop History Month—vinyl, CDs, MP3s, the whole thing. I got two singles out now: “Legends Don’t Die” and “Keep Them Shook.” But that Serch joint? By the end of this week it’s game over.
AllHipHop: Final word for Serch?
Mikey D: It’s all love. I don’t wish him harm. I just wish he cleared my name like a man. But since he didn’t, now I’m going to do what I do. This is Hip-Hop.
“You can kill your ops without guns. You can kill your ops with truth and bars.”
Department of Homeland Security drew intense backlash Monday (September 22) after releasing a Pokémon-themed video on social media that paired immigration arrests with animated clips from the beloved children’s franchise, prompting civil rights groups to call for a United Nations investigation into alleged abuses.
The video, posted to DHS platforms, opened with the iconic phrase “Gotta Catch’ Em All” and cut between footage of federal agents conducting immigration raids and the Pokémon series’ opening sequence.
It also included digital “trading cards” showing mugshots of arrested individuals, along with accusations such as homicide, child endangerment, molestation and manslaughter.
The post immediately drew criticism from lawmakers and advocacy groups, who accused the agency of trivializing serious law enforcement actions and using cartoon imagery to target Latino communities.
“When people are targeted because of how they look or the language they speak, the government is absolutely failing,” Rep. Maxine Waters said, condemning the raids as “ethnic cleansing.”
Waters joined a coalition of civil rights leaders Monday in filing a petition with the United Nations, urging the international body to investigate the U.S. government for possible human rights violations.
The petition, submitted by attorney Luis Carrillo, was filed on behalf of four U.S. citizens, including a pregnant woman allegedly shackled and dragged by federal agents.
The document accuses agencies, including DHS, ICE, Border Patrol and the FBI of engaging in “kidnapping arrests, prolonged detentions without due process of law and the brutal excessive use of force.”
The video surfaced as the Trump administration continues to ramp up immigration enforcement.
Since taking office in January 2025, ICE has arrested more than 65,000 individuals, including 2,288 alleged gang members from groups like MS-13 and Tren de Aragua, according to agency data.
Federal officials have launched large-scale operations in cities such as Chicago, where “Operation Midway Blitz” led to mass detentions. Over 10,000 military personnel have also been reassigned to assist with border enforcement.
The administration has also leaned heavily on artificial intelligence to track migrants and prioritize deportations, a move that immigration advocates say has fueled an unprecedented expansion of enforcement efforts.
The Pokémon-themed video marks a stark departure from traditional government messaging and has raised concerns about the use of children’s entertainment to promote law enforcement actions.
Kanye West pushed back against sexual assault accusations tied to a 2010 music video shoot by asking a judge to toss a lawsuit filed by Jenn An, a former contestant on America’s Next Top Model, who claims the rapper attacked her during filming.
In court documents filed in August, West’s legal team argued that An’s lawsuit is an attempt to punish him for his public statements, not a legitimate legal claim, Us Weekly reports.
They pointed to her references to his past antisemitic remarks and controversial takes on sexual assault survivors as evidence of ulterior motives.
“These alleged quotations bear no relevance to the claims in this case and are presented without meaningful context,” West’s attorney wrote. “Their inclusion should be considered as facts to support arguments regarding [An’s] motive to bring this lawsuit — to silence [West] for his controversial speech on matters of public concern.”
An filed the suit in November 2024, alleging that West took over directing duties during the shoot for La Roux’s “In for the Kill” remix and assaulted her on camera.
She claims he ordered her to sit, then choked her and shoved his fingers down her throat while declaring, “This is art. This is f###### art. I am like Picasso.”
According to the complaint, the incident lasted more than a minute, during which An says she struggled to breathe. She also alleges that someone on set encouraged the behavior rather than intervening.
West’s legal team countered that the video involved physical interaction between performers and that An never voiced discomfort or attempted to leave the set.
“At no point during the production did [An] object to her role, express a lack of consent to participate, nor attempt to leave the performance,” the filing states.
They also warned that allowing the case to move forward could set a dangerous precedent for artists and directors working on provocative content.
“To permit such claims to proceed would mean that every actor, director, and artist involved in provocative film, theater, or music video productions — whether depicting violence, sexuality, or both — could face retroactive criminalization,” the response reads.
An’s attorney, Jesse Weinstein, dismissed West’s argument that the act was artistic expression.
“While Ye is certainly entitled to defend himself in this suit, we refuse to adopt his idea that sexually assaulting Ms. An was somehow justified as ‘art,'” Weinstein said. “This was an unscripted moment that he took it upon himself to create, much to the dismay and shock of nearly everyone around him.”
The lawsuit adds to West’s mounting legal issues. In June 2024, his former assistant Lauren Pisciotta amended a separate complaint accusing him of sexual assault, battery and sex trafficking.
Other lawsuits from ex-Yeezy staffers and Donda Academy employees remain active.
An, who appeared on season 13 of America’s Next Top Model in 2009, is seeking damages for emotional distress. West is asking the court to dismiss the case entirely.
Online obstacle course games, often called “obbies,” are browser-based platformers where you navigate a series of challenging jumps, traps, and puzzles to reach the finish line. They are incredibly popular because they are free, require no downloads, and offer a satisfying test of skill and patience.
The internet is buzzing with a genre that has taken the casual gaming world by storm: online obstacle course games. You might know them as obbies, a term popularized by the creative community on Roblox. These aren’t sprawling RPGs or complex strategy titles. Instead, they offer pure, unadulterated platforming action directly in your web browser.
These free to play platformers strip gaming down to its core essentials: timing, precision, and perseverance. If you’re looking for a challenging jump and run experience that you can start playing in seconds, you’ve come to the right place. This guide will break down everything you need to know about the addictive world of browser parkour games.
What Exactly is a “No Download Obby”?
At its heart, an obby is a digital obstacle course. The concept is simple: get your character from Point A to Point B. The execution, however, is anything but. The path is littered with disappearing platforms, spinning lasers, treacherous jumps, and moving walls. One wrong move, and you’re sent back to the last checkpoint-or, in the most punishing games, right back to the start.
The beauty of the no download obby format is its accessibility. You don’t need a high-end gaming PC or gigabytes of free space. You just need a web browser and an internet connection. This low barrier to entry has made them a go-to for quick gaming sessions during a break or for players on less powerful devices.
The Rise of Roblox-Inspired Obbies
You can’t talk about modern obbies without mentioning Roblox. The platform became a breeding ground for user-generated content, and Roblox inspired obbies were one of its biggest success stories. Creators built incredibly inventive and difficult courses, fostering a massive community dedicated to conquering them.
The most famous example is undoubtedly Tower of Hell. The concept of a procedurally generated tower with no checkpoints that you must climb as high as possible became a phenomenon. Many players now actively search for a Tower of Hell online free experience, and browser-based developers have answered the call, creating games that capture that same frantic, high-stakes energy.
Expert Tip: In tower-style obbies, patience is more valuable than speed. Rushing leads to simple mistakes. Take a moment to observe the obstacle’s pattern before you jump. Most traps are on a simple timer, and learning the rhythm is the key to success.
Why Are We All Hooked on Browser Parkour Games?
The massive appeal of these games boils down to a few key factors. They hit a sweet spot that many other genres miss.
Pure Challenge: In a world of hand-holding tutorials, obbies are refreshingly direct. They present a difficult task and trust you to figure it out. Beating what feels like the hardest browser platformer provides a genuine sense of accomplishment.
Instant Gratification: The gameplay loop is fast. You try, you fail, you instantly respawn and try again. This makes them incredibly addictive, as the “just one more try” mentality kicks in immediately.
Social Competition: Many of these games feature leaderboards or live player counts, turning a solo challenge into a race. These multiplayer obstacle challenges add a competitive edge, as you see other players succeeding (and failing) alongside you.
Accessibility: Many are designed as unblocked parkour games, making them playable on school or work networks where other gaming sites might be restricted.
Finding the Best Fun Browser Obbies
With so many options out there, finding high-quality courses can be a challenge in itself. Many sites host a mix of great and not-so-great games. For a curated experience focused purely on the best fun browser obbies, you can find a dedicated collection of titles ready to play instantly.

More Than Just a Game: The Skills You Build
While they seem simple, these games are excellent for sharpening cognitive skills. Successfully navigating a difficult obby requires sharp reflexes, pattern recognition, and problem-solving. You learn to analyze a challenge, formulate a plan, and execute it with precision. These are the same foundational skills needed in more complex fields. For instance, many online courses like those on programmirovanie.skysmart.ru teach that coding is about breaking down a large problem into smaller, manageable steps-exactly what you do when you face a tough sequence of jumps in an obby.
Expert Tip: Don’t be afraid to change your camera angle. Many browser obbies have a fixed perspective, but those that allow you to rotate the camera give you a huge advantage. A different angle can reveal the true distance of a jump or the timing of a trap you couldn’t see before.

A$AP Rocky didn’t mince words when asked about Drake’s decision to take legal action over a rap beef, calling the move out of bounds for Hip-Hop and distancing himself from the drama in a new interview published Tuesday (September 23).
“It was healthy for Hip-Hop,” Rocky told ELLE, referring to the clash between Drake and Kendrick Lamar. “The battle was between Kendrick and Drake, not Drake and everybody else who might have said something at that time, and that’s mainly why I fell back. I just hate the way it’s turning out with [Drake] suing and all that. What part of the game is that? What type of s### is that? That’s none of my business, I guess.”
The Harlem rapper’s comments come after Drake filed a defamation lawsuit in January 2025 against Universal Music Group.
The suit claims UMG, which represents both Drake and Lamar, helped distribute and promote Lamar’s diss track “Not Like Us,” which Drake says falsely accuses him of being a pedophile and encourages violence against him.
Rocky’s remarks also arrive amid lingering tension between him and Drake, which reignited after Drake’s 2023 track “Fear of Heights” was widely interpreted as a jab at Rihanna, Rocky’s longtime partner.
A$AP Rocky responded with a verse on Future and Metro Boomin’s “Show of Hands,” while Drake clapped back on “Family Matters.”
Despite the back-and-forth, Rocky has kept his distance from the full-blown feud, saying he has “bigger fish to fry.”
Still, he’s taken subtle digs at Drake during recent performances and is expected to address the situation more directly on his upcoming album Don’t Be Dumb.
Baton Rouge Starlet Drop Makes Her Breakout with Swipe
Louisiana has given hip-hop some of its most dynamic voices, from Lil Wayne to Boosie to NBA YoungBoy. Now, Baton Rouge rapper Drop—born Davion Andrews—is carrying that legacy forward with her new project Swipe, a fearless statement of resilience, reinvention, and raw Southern street energy.
Known for her unapologetic delivery and magnetic stage presence, Drop makes music that hits as hard in the club as it does in the streets. “When you hear Drop, you’re gonna want to dance, you’re gonna want to vibe, you might even want to throw some money,” she says. “It’s exciting, it’s electric—you don’t have a choice but to feel it.”
But Swipe is more than just an album—it’s a movement. Shaped by her own struggles and survival, Drop has created her alter ego Swipeiana, a persona designed to spark empowerment and entrepreneurship in women. “Swipe is so powerful because it represents me, my story,” Drop explains. “It represents my past and my future. I’ve been through a lot, but now I’m using my skills and my music to inspire women to think outside the box, to get money the right way, and to move beyond a life of crime. I want women to know you don’t have to settle for survival mode—you can be a boss.”
The lead single “Baddies” is already turning heads. A sharp nod to Houston legend Lil’ Troy’s Wanna Be a Baller, Drop flips the classic into an anthem for today’s women. “One day in the studio I told myself, ‘I want to create something new,’” she recalls. “I wanted to give women a record that felt classy, powerful, and fun. That’s how Baddies came about. I piggybacked off what Lil’ Troy did in my own way. Everybody wants to be that woman—the one who’s confident, respected, and unstoppable—and Baddies captures that.”
Drawing influence from NBA YoungBoy, Lil Wayne, and Juicy J, Drop is carving out her own lane while staying true to Baton Rouge’s raw tradition of storytelling and authenticity. But unlike many chasing viral fame, she’s clear about her mission: “I don’t want to be known for just one hit,” she says. “I want to be legendary. I want to make music that lasts forever.”
With Swipe, Drop is positioning herself not just as Baton Rouge’s next breakout, but as a voice for women everywhere who are ready to rewrite their stories.
NBA YoungBoy saw his Chicago concert pulled at the last minute by the United Center on Tuesday (September 23) with no explanation, cutting short a major stop on his 45-date MASA Tour and leaving ticket holders scrambling for refunds.
The venue posted a brief notice on its website, stating it had “made the decision to cancel” the Wednesday night show, offering no further details. “If you purchased through Ticketmaster, refunds will be issued automatically,” the statement read. “If you purchased from a third-party reseller, please reach out to your point of purchase.”
The 25-year-old rapper has not publicly addressed the cancellation. His team addressed the cancellation, with YoungBoy’s manager, Alex Junnier, responding to the news on his Instagram Story.
“United Center b###### out,” he wrote. “Shout out to Joe Myhra at United Center. He didn’t want us to have fun scary.”
Junnier also addressed the United Center deactivating comments on their latest post following heated backlash from NBA YoungBoy fans in the replies.
Speculation quickly swirled online, with some pointing to long-standing tensions between NBA YoungBoy and Chicago’s drill scene, including Lil Durk and his Only The Family collective, as a possible reason for the abrupt decision. However, no official link has been confirmed.
The scrapped performance was part of YoungBoy’s MASA (Make America Slime Again) Tour, his first headlining run in five years.
YoungBoy’s latest album, also titled MASA, dropped in July and has been supported by a string of high-energy shows that have gone off without major issues—until now.
The United Center has not said whether the concert will be rescheduled.
Sean “Diddy” Combs made a final push for leniency Monday (September 22) as his legal team urged a federal judge in New York to impose a 14-month sentence — which amounts to time served — following his conviction on lesser charges tied to transporting individuals for prostitution.
The 380-page filing from Diddy’s attorneys argues he should be released immediately after spending over a year behind bars. “It is time for Mr. Combs to go home to his family,” the defense wrote in the court submission.
Earlier this year, a jury found the 55-year-old music executive guilty of moving consenting adults across state lines with the intent to engage in prostitution. He was acquitted of more serious allegations, including sex trafficking and racketeering.
Diddy’s sentencing is scheduled for October 3.
His legal team accused prosecutors of attempting to impose a punishment disproportionate to the actual conviction. “Mr. Combs must be sentenced for what the jury convicted him of—interstate transportation of fully consenting adults with intent to engage in prostitution. But it would be unlawful, and a perversion of justice, for the Court to sentence him as if the jury had convicted him of sex trafficking and RICO, or to increase his sentence based on the Court’s own findings about force or coercion or racketeering.”
Calling the prosecution’s stance “draconian,” the defense likened the government’s approach to the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland, writing, “Verdict be damned—lock him up and throw away the key.”
The defense also highlighted Diddy’s personal history, describing him as “an extraordinary person who has made monumental professional and personal contributions throughout his 55 years.”
The filing referenced the deaths of his father, longtime friend Christopher Wallace (The Notorious B.I.G.), and Kim Porter, the mother of four of his children, as major emotional blows that contributed to his struggles with substance abuse, anger and anxiety.
“These events were devastating, and for decades Mr. Combs struggled with serious substance abuse issues, anger and anxiety,” the filing stated, adding that he only began to confront these issues during his current incarceration.
Diddy’s attorneys also emphasized that he did not profit from the acts in question. They said the case involved “threesomes where fully competent adult men and women voluntarily crossed state lines and had consensual sex with each other.”
They claimed he arranged encounters involving Cassie Ventura and male escorts for his own viewing, but did not financially benefit.
Some women involved have challenged whether the encounters were truly consensual.
The U.S. Probation Office’s sentencing recommendation remains sealed, but Diddy’s team believes it suggests a five-year prison term.
Diddy has been in custody since his arrest last year.
Donald Trump reignited controversy Monday (September 22) by warning pregnant women against using Tylenol, claiming the over-the-counter pain reliever could be tied to autism—a statement that drew immediate and forceful pushback from medical professionals across the globe.
“Suggestions that acetaminophen use in pregnancy causes autism are not only highly concerning to clinicians but also irresponsible when considering the harmful and confusing message they send to pregnant patients,” said Steven Fleischman, president of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
Trump, speaking during a public appearance, said women who can’t “tough it out” without Tylenol should limit their intake.
He was backed by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who stated the decision by the FDA to update labeling on acetaminophen was based on “clinical and laboratory studies” suggesting a “potential association” between prenatal acetaminophen exposure and neurodevelopmental issues, including autism.
🚨BREAKING: Trump and RFK Jr just warned pregnant women to stop using Tylenol; claiming it causes autism.
This is your new Surgeon General, brought to you by a guy who once told people to inject bleach.
The Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine issued a statement clarifying that “a thorough review of existing research suggesting a potential link between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and an increased risk of autism and attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children has not established a causal relationship.”
International health agencies also weighed in. The United Kingdom’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) said there is “no evidence” connecting Tylenol to autism. Australia’s health department also confirmed the drug remains safe for use during pregnancy.
Kenvue, the manufacturer of Tylenol, issued a firm rebuttal: “Acetaminophen is the safest pain reliever option for pregnant women as needed throughout their entire pregnancy.” The company added, “We believe independent, rigorous science clearly indicates that taking acetaminophen does not result in autism. We firmly oppose any contrary suggestions and are extremely concerned about the health risks this poses for expectant mothers and parents.”
Tylenol’s official social media account also responded, stating “credible, independent scientific data continues to show no proven link between taking acetaminophen and autism.”
Dr. Monique Botha, a researcher at Durham University, pointed to a 2024 Swedish study involving 2.4 million births that “found no relationship between exposure to paracetamol in utero and subsequent autism, ADHD or intellectual disability.”
Trump’s remarks follow a long history of promoting debunked theories about autism.
During his 2016 campaign and presidency, he repeatedly claimed vaccines were responsible for the disorder, despite overwhelming scientific consensus disproving that claim.
The American Psychiatric Association issued a reminder that “autism is a complex disorder” and warned against suggesting “that a handful of studies have established causation.”
Doctors fear Trump’s comments could lead pregnant women to avoid necessary treatment, potentially putting both mother and child at risk.
Yung Miami vouched for Sean “Diddy” Combs in a character reference letter submitted ahead of his sentencing, describing the embattled music mogul as “loving” and “supportive” while urging the judge to see the man she personally knew—not the headlines.
Writing under her legal name, Caresha Brownlee, the former City Girls rapper told the court she could not speak on past allegations against Diddy but wanted to share her personal experience from their three-year relationship.
I want to be clear that I cannot speak on or defend anything that may have happened before I met Sean Combs,” she wrote in the letter, which was published by The Shade Room, adding, ” I do not condone any wrongdoing. I can only speak from my personal experience and the man I’ve come to know over the past four years.”
The letter, filed Monday (September 22), also highlighted Diddy’s charitable side. Miami recalled the two feeding the homeless together on Thanksgiving in 2022 and said he often gave back privately.
She also pointed to his efforts to improve himself, writing, “He made the choice to check himself into anger management, start therapy, and commit to physical healing… He didn’t do it for show—he did it because he wanted to grow and to become a better person.”
Miami closed her letter with a direct appeal to the judge: “In my personal experience, Sean is not a danger or a threat to the community. He is a man of God, someone who uplifts, supports, and inspires those around him… But more than anything, he’s a father and his kids are the ones who look up to him the most. They need him.”
She ended with a simple plea: “Judge… That’s a good man.”
Yung Miami has previously stated she never experienced abuse during her relationship with Diddy. “I can’t speak on something that wasn’t my experience,” she said last August. “I can’t speak on something I don’t know…that wasn’t my experience.”
Diddy is set to be sentenced on October 3 after being convicted of two federal charges related to transporting individuals for prostitution. The charges carry a maximum of 20 years in prison.
His legal team is requesting 14 months in prison followed by supervised release. Federal prosecutors are expected to recommend a sentence between 51 and 63 months. They must submit their recommendation by September 29.
50 Cent briefly entertained Damon Dash’s call for peace on Tuesday (September 23) after Dash posted a video urging him and Cam’ron to squash their feud — but the G-Unit mogul quickly snapped the olive branch.
Dash, who recently filed a $300 million defamation lawsuit against Cam’ron, took to social media with a video plea for unity.
“50, Cam, me, if together we show that we could be beefing, pause, and then come together and maybe do a TV show together, something different, or a movie or something, just showing the world that we can work together, then we would prove everyone wrong,” Dash said in the clip. “They love us tearing each other down, and I’m not doing that s###. I apologize to my OGs for embarrassing y’all, but I just wanted to talk to them. [Cam’ron] finally replied when I hit him with the lawsuit.”
He also extended an invitation to both men for a sit-down, captioning the post, “Let’s show the world that Black people can work together challenge… I’m not doing this corny s### no more. I got work to do. Let’s just resolve this and move forward collectively. Let’s show the world that they can’t divide us over b#######. that jig is up.”
Initially, 50 Cent appeared to be on board, reposting the video with a caption that started on a positive note. “I agree with Dame [100] percent it’s better to work together,” he began. “We should sit down and figure out how to move forward. I believe we can create a path to more success.”
Then came the curveball. “Oh wait. CAM just said f### Dame and his fake chat GPT law suit. so it’s f### you Dame,” 50 added, abruptly shutting down the idea of any truce.
The tension between Dash and Cam’ron reignited after 50 Cent announced Cam’s involvement in a new TV adaptation of Paid In Full.
Dash’s lawsuit accuses Cam’ron of defamation and other claims stemming from public remarks that Dash says harmed his reputation and business ventures.
A demand letter made public detailed Dash’s complaints, including Cam allegedly dragging Dash’s wife and children into their feud.
Cam’ron responded with a diss freestyle, escalating the situation further and making it clear he had no plans to reconcile.
Finesse2tymes landed in legal trouble again in Tyler, Texas, after a routine traffic stop led to drug charges for the Memphis rapper and a passenger in his car.
The rapper, born Ricky Hampton, was pulled over while driving a red Corvette on Claude Street for not wearing a seatbelt. Officers said they smelled marijuana and noticed a hand-rolled cigar in the ashtray.
When they began searching the vehicle, passenger Shugga, born Halie Buckingham, allegedly grabbed a bag from the floorboard, prompting a deeper search.
Inside the bag, police discovered 0.7 ounces of marijuana, 12 oxycodone pills and 7 methylphenidate pills, according to the Smith County Sheriff’s Office.
Finesse2tymes was booked for possession of marijuana. Buckingham was charged with two counts of possession of a controlled substance and one count of marijuana possession. Both were released on bond by 4:50 A.M. Saturday.
The arrest came shortly after Finesse2tymes performed at a local concert in Smith County.
He has had repeated run-ins with the law. Finesse2tymes served six years for aggravated robbery beginning in 2010, and in 2017, he received a five-year federal sentence on weapons charges. He was released from prison in July 2022.
Last summer, Houston police issued a warrant for Finesse2tymes’ arrest over an unreturned rental car, but those charges were later dropped.
Travis Kelce landed in hot water with the NFL after a groin-directed celebration and sideline outburst during the Kansas City Chiefs’ home loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on September 14, resulting in a $14,491 fine for unsportsmanlike conduct.
The tight end’s penalty came after he hauled in a 23-yard pass from quarterback Patrick Mahomes, then turned toward the Eagles’ bench and made a crude gesture near his waist.
Moments later, Kelce ripped off his helmet and slammed it to the turf, visibly frustrated. Cameras caught him yelling, “I’m sick of this s###.”
The league handed down the fine, citing the behavior as a violation of its conduct policy. Kelce, 35, wasn’t the only player penalized from that matchup.
Saquon Barkley, the Eagles’ running back, was slapped with a $46,371 fine for “use of the helmet” after lowering his head before a collision with Chiefs defensive back Chamarri Conner.
The Eagles edged out the Chiefs 20-17 in the primetime showdown.
This isn’t Kelce’s first run-in with the league’s disciplinary arm. He was previously fined $11,255 during last season’s AFC Championship game against the Buffalo Bills for “taunting” Damar Hamlin.
The fine arrives just weeks after Kelce and pop icon Taylor Swift confirmed their engagement, following a two-year relationship that’s drawn heavy attention from both sports and entertainment media.
Sylvia Rhone closed out her legendary six-year stretch as chair and CEO of Epic Records on Sunday, stepping down from the top job at Sony Music’s label after a career that repeatedly reshaped the music business and shattered industry ceilings.
“It’s been an extraordinary journey: eleven years since my promotion to President of Epic Records and six years since my appointment as Chairwoman and CEO,” Rhone wrote in a farewell memo obtained by The Hollywood Reporter. “And today, I am moving on from this historic role at Epic and I’m very excited about the future.”
Her departure leaves Epic without its longtime leader and the major label system without a single woman CEO.
Rhone, 72, exits with a résumé that includes firsts no one else has matched: the first woman and first Black executive to run multiple major record companies under Fortune 500 ownership.
During her time at Epic, Rhone helped shape the sound of modern Hip-Hop and pop, guiding the careers of Travis Scott, 21 Savage, DJ Khaled, Future, Meghan Trainor, Madison Beer, and Camila Cabello. Her influence helped Epic maintain relevance in a rapidly changing landscape.
Sony Music Group chairman Rob Stringer, who tapped Rhone for the CEO role in 2019, praised her leadership.
“It’s been our honor to work with a true icon,” he said. “In an industry defined by its constant evolution, Sylvia has adapted and embraced change, time and time again.”
Before her Epic chapter, Rhone led a series of major labels, beginning in 1990 when she became CEO of Atlantic’s EastWest Records. Four years later, she was appointed chair and CEO of Elektra Entertainment Group, where she built a genre-spanning roster that included artists such as Missy Elliott, Busta Rhymes, AC/DC, Metallica, and Björk.
She called the Elektra era “a cultural renaissance” and her impact continued at Motown, where she worked with Stevie Wonder on his final studio album and helped push Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, and Drake into global superstardom through Cash Money’s distribution deal.
Rhone’s path began at Buddha Records as a secretary after graduating from The Wharton School. She rose through the ranks, eventually becoming senior vice president of Black Music at Atlantic Records.
Her decades in the business earned her numerous honors, including an honorary doctorate from Berklee College of Music.
“I have worked in our industry since vinyl ruled, and women were rarely, if ever, in line for C-level or even vice-presidential roles,” she wrote in her memo. “I am proud of my achievements, and of my commitment to those who take inspiration from them.”
