Drake Seemingly Responds To ScHoolboy Q Claiming TDE Banned From Performing In Canada 

Drake is showing love to Tony Yayo with a post on his Instagram Stories that appears to be much more than just a tribute. 

Late on Wednesday evening (July 17), Drake took to his Instagram Stories with a selfie. In the image, Drizzy dons a “Free Yayo” shirt. His tribute to the G-Unit rapper comes at a strange time, as Tony Yayo was freed after spending time behind bars between 2002 and 2004. 

Tony Yayo Says Drake Critics Not Welcome In Canada

However, Tony Yayo has recently weighed in on the Drake and Kendrick Lamar battle with some interesting takes. 

During an interview with VladTV last month, Yayo said some artists remained neutral throughout the beef because Drake critics won’t be welcome in Canada. 

“You can’t really give your opinion because n##### still wanna go to Canada,” he explained. “You don’t wanna say something about Drake and now you can’t go to Canada.”

Tony Yayo’s comments might seem prophetic to ScHoolboy Q. Just hours before Drake showed love to Yayo, Q announced his Toronto show was canceled and said that Canadian cops don’t want TDE artists to perform there.  

“THey just canceled my sHow in TORONTO,” ScHoolboy Q tweeted. “CANADIAN POLICE DONT WANT NOBODY FROM TDE PERFORMING.” 

He went on to say there’s no bad blood between his and Drake’s camp, but added, “If we wanted to get yall we would’ve just did it.. now wHen sumbody get Hurt don’t cry.” 

The timing of Drake’s post could signal his agreement with Tony Yayo that his critics might want to steer clear of his native country. However, Yayo also recently shared his belief that the battle with K. Dot is not over. “I think the battle is not over,” he said. “All he got to do is come back with a No. 1 record.” 

Drake had multiple G-Unit references during the K. Dot battle. He donned the G-Unit spinner in the “Family Matters” video, and DJ Whoo Kid featured on Push Ups.  

ScHoolboy Q Denies Making Threats After Claiming Canadian Cops Axed Toronto Show Over TDE Vs. OVO Beef

ScHoolboy Q claims he was gearing up to perform a sold-out show in Toronto when it was canceled at the last minute because Canadian police didn’t want TDE to perform in the city following the Drake and Kendrick Lamar battle. 

On Wednesday evening (July 17) Q took to social media to give fans an option to get tickets to his sold-out Toronto show on July 18. 

However, less than two hours later, ScHoolboy Q returned, claiming the show was scrapped at the eleventh hour. “THey just canceled my sHow in TORONTO,” he wrote. “CANADIAN POLICE DONT WANT NOBODY FROM TDE PERFORMING.” 

ScHoolboy Q said the whole affair was “Lokey Hilarious,” before speculating that his appearance in K. Dot’s “Not Like Us” video got him canceled in Canada. 

ScHoolBoy Q Denies Tension Between TDE & OVO

He went on to say there’s no bad blood between his and Drake’s camp, insisting TDE CEO Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith just hung out with Lil Wayne and Birdman. He also pointed out that OVO’s PartyNextDoor performed in Los Angeles without incident. “TOP was just wit Wayne & Baby smH partynextdoor just Had a sHow @ tHe palladium,” he continued.  

However, the tone quickly shifted with Q stating, “If we wanted to get yall we would’ve just did it.. now wHen sumbody get Hurt don’t cry.” 

He also clapped back at someone who said he could end up like Rick Ross, who recently got into an altercation in Canada after dissing Drake.  

“I don’t tHink u know wHo I am. In fact I do t tHink a lot of u know wHo I am,” he added. 

While some users perceived his remarks as a threat, ScHoolboy Q rejected the notion. “I neva said ‘ima kill sumbody,’” he clarified. “Im saying if we wanted to crack it off we could’ve smH. Rap and move on playin tuff gon get sumbody Hurt it’s all good ima soccer dad.” 

He also apologized, adding, “See I be at soccer games. Ok I’m done til cHicago I’m sorry if y’all took dat as a tHreat and not advice.” 

Bobby Shmurda Accuses Rick Ross Of Retaliating Over His Comments On Canada Brawl

Bobby Shmurda has revealed that Rick Ross may have played a role in his dismissal from an upcoming concert, according to a source close to him.

The New York rapper believes his comments regarding Ross’ physical altercation with his security team and fans at his show in Canada may be the cause of his current issue with Rozay.

In a recent Instagram post, Shmurda spoke directly to Ross, appearing to express his disappointment with the Maybach Music Group mogul after learning Rozay allegedly made the call to remove him from the show. Shmurda addressed the accusation in a video in which he attempted to appeal to Ross, while also explaining how he feels about Rozay in the process.

“Rick Ross, bro, I just got the call,” Shmurda said. “I really respect, like I really f##k with you. I don’t f##k with you on no gangster s##t. Y’all artists has got to understand this. I don’t f##k with ya n###as on no gangster s##t. I f### with ya n###as with some business s##t. And as a man, you know what I’m saying?”

He went on to explain how the source of his frustration results in the fact that he he got word on the matter via a third party rather than directly from Ross himself.

“So like why you ain’t call me big homie?” he said. “Why I got to get the call from n##### talking about ‘Yo, Rick Ross kicked you off the show. We work with,’ I got the call from Barbados.

“They’re like, ‘Yo, we do a lot of business with Rick Ross and we don’t think Bobby’s good for the show,’ and this and that. Like come on bro. Bro, I don’t want no beef with none of y’all n###as. I’m independent. First of all, I’m beefing with higher powers in the industry already.”

Shmurda continued venting about the situation, remarking on how the combination of his age and background complicates how he handles and reacts to incidents like this.

“But my whole thing is though, they like, ‘Yo MMG called and said yo, we don’t want Bobby Shmurda on the show’,” he said.

“I’m bought to be 30 in a couple weeks bro. I’m not none of these young n###as, bro. I’ve been selling drugs. I was 10 years old, bro. I didn’t grow up like you or none of your other friends or none of the other s##t, bro. I’m a different type of n###a, you feel me? I’m very honest. I’m a Leo bro. I ain’t with all this other s##t. Why you gotta—you could have called me big homie. When I made that video I was defending you telling m############.

Shmurda added, “Nah rozay you moving dusty,” in the caption of the video.

Prior to the current situation, Shmurda both came to Roazay’s defense and criticized the Maybach Music Group CEO for how he handled the incident in a post he shared on his Instagram. The fight ensued when a group of men surrounded Ross and his associates after Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” diss was played following his performance.

Shmurda referenced incarcerated No Limit rapper C-Murder when describing the hypothetical outcome of the situation had he been involved.

“Yo cuz I would’ve went out like C-Murder,” Shmurda said. “On my dead grandmother, son. I would’ve went out like C-Murder, bro. I swear to God. I swear to everything I love, bro. I would’ve out like C-Murder.”

Skilla Baby Baffled By Baby Mama Rumor: “I Don’t Even Know That Lady”

Skilla Baby denied a social media post claiming he’s expecting a baby. The Detroit-bred rapper called out the Instagram account UrFavesBeforeIG for spreading misinformation on Wednesday (July 17).

“lol I don’t got no f###### baby on the way whoever run that page a lame and just be saying anything,” he wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter). “Don’t believe this corny s###. Lmao I hate social media.”

Skilla Baby reiterated his denial on Instagram Stories.

“Whoever run this page is a corn,” he wrote. “I don’t even know that lady and my hair not even done.”

The Geffen Records artist cleared up the rumor less than two weeks after threatening to sue the Detroit Police Department. Skilla Baby accused a Detroit cop of harassment.

“Every time I perform at home, fire marshals or Detroit police always come shut me down,” he said. “I already like—I don’t even know what I be doing, but they always come shut me down. And I got one officer that just always pick on me, his name is Lt. Rue … Every event I’m at, he always try to get me kicked out.”

He added, “The next thing I’ma do is sue the city. I’m gonna sue the DPD for keep putting him at my events … Tell Lt. Rue to leave me alone.”

Detroit police contested Skilla Baby’s allegations. The department claimed there were legitimate reasons for shutting down his shows.

“We deny any suggestion of wrongdoing toward the performer or his events,” the DPD told the Detroit Free Press. “While several of Skilla Baby’s concerts have been canceled, this has been due to the performer failing to follow city protocols and for failing to obtain venues with the appropriate capacity.”

Skilla Baby was referring to Lt. Lacell Rue, who was charged with assault as a sergeant in 2019. DPD promoted Rue to lieutenant in 2022.

Snoop Dogg Accused Of Ripping Off Drummer In Lawsuit

A veteran drummer/producer sued Snoop Dogg for copyright infringement in California on Monday (July 15). According to Billboard, Trevor Lawrence Jr. claimed Snoop never paid the studio musician for contributions to the 2022 album BODR (Bacc on Death Row).

Lawrence said he created backing tracks “on spec” for Snoop to experiment with in the studio in 2020. The drummer, who has worked with stars such as Bruno Mars and Mariah Carey, required payment if the tracks were released commercially.

Snoop allegedly used Lawrence’s work for the songs “Pop Pop” and “Get This Dick,” which appeared on the BODR album. Lawrence never received compensation.

“To date, defendants have refused to properly license the Lawrence tracks or compensate Lawrence for their use in the [Snoop] tracks,” the lawsuit contended.

Snoop’s rep allegedly contacted Lawrence about using the tracks in 2022. Lawerence required a $10,000 flat fee and a 50 percent interest for the underlying musical composition. The lawsuit claimed Snoop’s rep thought the terms were “acceptable.”

“Pop Pop” and “Get This Dick” were released a month later. No one sent Lawrence a formal licensing offer.
Lawrence filed the lawsuit after two years of no compensation. He demanded payment, estimating Snoop made “tens of millions of dollars” from selling BODR as an NFT.

“At no point in time did defendants … communicate to Lawrence any intention to exploit the Lawrence tracks in connection with a bundled offering such as [the NFT sale], nor did Lawrence authorize any such exploitation of his work, which was never within his prior contemplation,” the lawsuit explained.

Snoop released BODR after becoming the new owner of Death Row Records. He acquired the label from MNRK Music Group, formerly known as EOne Music. BODR featured collaborations with Nas, the late Nate Dogg, Wiz Khalifa, The Game, DaBaby, T.I. and more.

Young Thug RICO Trial Judge Recuses Herself Days After Assignment—New Judge Takes Case

Young Thug’s YSL RICO trial is in shambles once again after the latest judge to be assigned to the case following the recusal of Judge Ural Glanville has removed herself.

According to court documents obtained by AllHipHop on Wednesday (July 17), Judge Shukura L. Ingram of the Superior Court Of Fulton County officially recused herself from the case, triggering the reassignment of the trial to another judge. News of Ingram’s move to recuse herself comes just two days after the judge was assigned to the case on July 15.

According to court documents, Ingram’s decision to recuse herself stems from the arrest of her deputy for an improper relationship with Thug’s co-defendant Big Bhris (Christian Eppinger). As a result, Ingram filed for the case to be reassigned because she did not want the appearance of impartiality if the deputy is called in as a witness in future hearings in the case.

The deputy in question had been responsible for the “courtroom and personal security” of the defendant for at least six months. She was accused of colluding with the defendant during the trial to commit a felony and “endangering the safety of citizens within the Fulton County courthouse.

Ingram was appointed to the case after Glanville was forced to exit the trial due to impartiality concerns when Thug’s lawyer Brian Steel questioned Glanville about a secret meeting between the judge, prosecutors and a key witness in June.

The defense believed Glanville and prosecutors coerced Kenneth “Lil Woody” Copeland into testifying in the trial. Glanville held Steel in contempt and sentenced the attorney to 20 days in jail after demanding to know the source of Steel’s information, which he refused to reveal. The Georgia Supreme Court granted bond to Steel, allowing him to avoid jail time.

According to a report from The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC), Judge Paige Reese Whitaker has now been assigned to preside over the case. Per AJC, Whitaker, who is a former Fulton County prosecutor, also worked at the state Attorney General’s Office, and has been a judge in Fulton County since 2017.

Slim 400’s Killer Sentenced For YG Associate’s Shooting Death

Michael Terry, one of the two men charged in the 2021 shooting death of Slim 400, was sentenced to 32 years in a California state prison. Judge Altus Hudson handed down the sentence after Terry pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter.

Terry shot and killed Slim 400, whose real name was Vincent Cochran, outside the late rapper’s Inglewood home in December 2021. Terry admitted to using a firearm and a felony strike for a prior conviction, per Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón.

“Our hearts go out to the families of Mr. Cohran, an artist in the Los Angeles community who was taken far too soon by a tragic act of gun violence,” Gascón said in a press release. “Our Community Violence Reduction Unit vigorously prosecutes gun violence to protect our communities. Gun violence has no place in our society, and we will continue to work closely with communities we serve to help prevent these senseless crimes.”

Terry’s co-defendant Tamra Lynn Bell pleaded guilty to accessory after the fact. She is scheduled to be sentenced on January 15, 2025.

Slim 400 was best known for his collaborations with YG. A year after Slim 400’s death, YG paid tribute to his slain friend by releasing the single “Miss My Dawgs” featuring Lil Wayne.

Blueface Learns Fate For Violating Probation In Las Vegas Case

Blueface avoided prison for violating his probation in a Las Vegas shooting case. According to CBS affiliate KLAS, Judge Kathleen Delaney kept him on probation for up to three years with a suspended prison sentence of two to five years.

Judge Delaney sentenced Blueface to 30 days in a Nevada jail but gave him credit for time served behind bars in California.

“This was a first technical violation with only temporary revocation available for a maximum of 30 days,” the court ruled.

Blueface remains in custody in a California jail for violating his probation in a Los Angeles County assault case. He was arrested for a probation violation in the assault case in January. A California judge is scheduled to sentence him on July 29.

Judge Delaney issued a bench warrant for Blueface in February. He was accused of violating his probation for his role in a December 2023 altercation in Utah.

Blueface, whose real name is Johnathan Porter, pulled a woman on stage during a show in Salt Lake City. He ordered Jaidyn Alexis, the mother of two of his children, to beat up the woman.

The 27-year-old rapper received probation for a 2022 shooting outside a Las Vegas strip club. He accepted a plea deal in 2023. Kentabius Traylor, the shooting victim, was frustrated by the light sentence.

“I know people who get more time for stealing bubblegum, honestly,” he said. “I know people who do more time for stealing TVs than they do for shooting somebody. I’m just completely disappointed in all of this.”

Prosecutors originally charged Blueface with attempted murder before reducing the charges. He pleaded guilty to battery and discharging a firearm at or into an occupied structure.

Blueface was sued by the strip club’s owner, who claimed the shooting resulted in the club losing its license. He was ordered to pay $13 million in damages.

Missy Elliott Makes History As “The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)” Is Beamed Into Space 

Missy Elliott has made history after NASA blasted one of her most iconic hits to Venus, marking the first time a rap song has been beamed into deep space. 

Last Friday (July 12) NASA blasted Elliott’s 1997 Timbaland-produced hit “The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)” into space from its Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California. The song traveled about 158 million miles at the speed of light from Earth to Venus.

Elliott’s debut solo single took approximately 14 minutes to reach the planet, often dubbed Earth’s evil twin. The transmission was made via a massive 112-foot wide Deep Space Station 13 (DSS-13) radio dish antenna, nicknamed Venus.  

Missy Elliott celebrated the astronomical accolade on social media, sharing her excitement over the honor.  

“YOOO this is crazy! We just went #OutOfThisWorld with NASA and sent the FIRST hip hop song into space through the Deep Space Network,” she explained. “My song ‘The Rain’ has officially been transmitted all the way to Venus, the planet that symbolizes strength, beauty, and empowerment. The sky is not the limit, it’s just the beginning.”

Missy Elliott revealed that she chose Venus because of the qualities it represents. “I am so humbled to have the opportunity to share my art and my message with the universe!” she added. 

NASA said in a statement, “Both space exploration and Missy Elliott’s art have been about pushing boundaries. Missy has a track record of infusing space-centric storytelling and futuristic visuals in her music videos, so the opportunity to collaborate on something out of this world is truly fitting.” 

Missy Elliott follows in the footsteps of The Beatles. Their single “Across the Universe,” was the first song NASA beamed into deep space in 2008. 

50 Cent Claims Irv Gotti Is Broke & Sexual Assault Lawsuit Will Break Him Financially 

50 Cent has revived his longstanding beef with Irv Gotti, trolling him following reports he is being sued for sexual assault. 

On Tuesday (July 16), the G-Unit mogul hopped on Instagram to share his reaction to the news Gotti is facing a lawsuit from a woman who claims he sexually assaulted and abused her during their relationship, which lasted from 2020 to 2022. 

Oh no,” 50 Cent wrote in the caption. “In a lawsuit filed in Miami-Dade on July 11, a [woman] accuses 54-year-old Gotti (born Irving Domingo Lorenzo) of sexually assaulting and abusing her on several occasions from 2020 to 2022 in Saint Martin, Miami, and Atlanta. The suit seeks a trial by jury.” 

According to Fiddy, the lawsuit will cripple Gotti financially as he’s broke.  “(The legal fee’s are gonna break his ass in half, he ain’t got no money),” he added. “Welp that all folks.”

The Jane Doe accuser sued Irv Gotti In Florida on July 11, accusing him of sexual assault, battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress. In court documents, Doe claims she went on vacation with Gotti after meeting him in 2020.  

Once there, “Gotti coerced Plaintiff into having sex with him,” her lawyer wrote. “Gotti specifically threatened Plaintiff that he would send her home if she did not comply with his demands. Accordingly, and due to his power and influence in the music world, she complied.” 

After the trip, they began a relationship, and Doe claims she “suffered constant abuse at Gotti’s hands.” She makes numerous allegations of abuse and “unwanted sexual acts,” including a 2022 incident where “Gotti forced her to perform oral sex on him in an elevator. 

Doe alleges she “suffered severe emotional and psychological harm,” at Gotti’s hand. She also claims to endure lasting effects and was previously “committed to a psychiatric ward.” 

Stormzy & Maya Jama Announce Split A Year After Rekindling Romance  

Stormzy and Maya Jama have shattered fans’ hearts, announcing they have split for the second time a year after rekindling their romance. 

Last August, the couple confirmed they were back together during a romantic vacation in Greece. However, in a candid statement, the former couple revealed they spent the best part of the last 12 months trying to make it work. 

On Tuesday morning (July 17) the U.K. rap icon and the TV presenter announced the news via their respective Instagram accounts. 

Stormzy & Maya Jama Split On Good Terms

“We’ve been laughing whilst drafting this because we never, ever, in a million years thought we’d be the couple announcing a breakup,” the statement began. “But for the sake of clarity and, more importantly, to allow us the space and grace that’s needed for us both to be able to navigate this next bit of our lives with peace, we thought it might be best to.” 

The former couple says they ” fell madly in love in 2014,” before calling it quits in 2019.  

“We decided to try for the final time in August 2023, and we’ve spent this past year trying our best to make it work; however, we recently decided to call it quits,” they added. “This final attempt required a whole lot of figuring out, relearning, and unlearning.” We tried, and it didn’t work, and that’s okay.” 

Stormzy and Maya Jama revealed they parted on the best terms and will “always” be friends. They acknowledged the announcement was “dramatic,” but they wanted to avoid any speculation.  

“We’re kindly asking for the grace to let both of us keep it moving and not be bothered about it, (we highly doubt this’ll work,” the statement continued. “(But we’re still kindly asking anyway).”

The news arrives just days after Maya Jama supported Stormzy while he performed at The British Grand Prix. 

Drake Mocked By Kendrick Lamar Fans As Flood Streams Through His Toronto Mansion 

Drake is getting mercilessly trolled by Kendrick Lamar fans after his Toronto mansion flooded amid record-breaking storms in the city. 

On Tuesday evening (July 16) the OVO showed some of the damage on his Instagram Story. He posted a video of ankle-deep yellow-colored water rushing through a room in his home. “This better be Espresso Martini,” he wrote on the brief clip.  

Toronto was lashed with four inches of rain on torrential rain, reportedly the heaviest on record since 1941. Citizens suffered major power outages, highways were shut down and cops closed off parts of the city due to flooding. 

However, despite the hazardous conditions in Toronto, Drake was plagued with jokes that the flood was another chapter in his Kendrick Lamar battle.  

“Kendrick Lamar not recycling so global warming floods Drake’s mansion… He might really be the GOAT,” one person wrote. 

“Kendrick brought the biblical flood to Drake,” another person trolled.  

“We know who sent the flood,” a third person joked alongside a photo of the Compton rapper. 

The flooded area appears to be a basement room that leads to a hall where Drake displays his sports jerseys. He opened up about the 50,000 sq ft mansion, in the high-end Bridle Path area of Toronto, during a 2020 interview with Architectural Digest.  

He described his home, dubbed The Embassy, as “overwhelming high luxury … Because I was building it in my hometown, I wanted the structure to stand firm for 100 years. I wanted it to have a monumental scale and feel. It will be one of the things I leave behind, so it had to be timeless and strong.” 

Bhad Bhabie Seemingly Reunites With Ex-Boyfriend After Abuse Accusations 

Bhad Bhabie appears to be back with the father of her child, Le Vaughn, after accusing him of beating her and sharing photos of the alleged abuse earlier this month. 

On Tuesday evening (July 16), the internet personality/rapper uploaded a photo of her passionately kissing someone who appears to be Le Vaugh on her Instagram Stories. She also shared a selfie and tagged Le Vaughn, writing, “Lucky you.” 

Bhad Bhabie previously shared footage of Le Vaughn attacking her and photos of her injuries in a post on July 7. She also shared a statement claiming “extreme” abuse rarely happens and said Le Vaughn was seeking help.  

“I love that man more than I love myself and it’s honestly really sad,” she wrote. “But unfortunately this is real life. I know the easy way out is to leave and that’s better said than done. This doesn’t happen this extreme often, but LV definitely has a problem. He’s going to get the help he needs.” 

Bhad Bhabie also insisted Le Vaughn is aware “there’s no room for mistakes,” and said she made the allegations because she wants him to “take accountability and make a REAL CHANGE.” 

However, her remarks led fans to believe she was reuniting with her ex. 

“I wasn’t gonna speak on this but who said I was staying?” she wrote in response to an Instagram user urging her to leave Le Vaughn. “What about that post made y’all think I’m staying? Bc I said I love him? Bc I said he’s gonna get help? I’m so confused and apparently so are y’all.” 

Nonetheless, it appears that Bhad Bhabie and Le Vaugh are back together. They welcomed a daughter earlier this year named Kali Love. 

Meanwhile, Bhad Bhabie recently went viral after revealing her staggering OnlyFans earnings.  

A’ja Wilson Pokes Fun At Teammates For Wanting Usher Pics After Loss 

Usher has finally taken in a Las Vegas Aces game two years after A’ja Wilson requested he pull up to their championship parade.  

On Wednesday (July 16), the R&B icon sat courtside as the Aces suffered a 93-85 loss to the Chicago Sky. Usher happily posed for photos with the Aces after the game, prompting Wilson to playfully roast her teammates.  

“They ain’t did s### all day, but they wanna take a m############ picture with Usher,” she joked before posing with the man himself later on. 

Wilson and Usher embraced as the two-time WNBA MVP gifted the singer her jersey. “Dreams do come true,” the WNBA’s X (Twitter) account wrote alongside a clip of the interaction. “Usher made sure to pop out to a @lvaces game following A’ja Wilson’s iconic press conference after the 2023 Finals.” 

In 2022, A’ja Wilson implored Usher to join them at the parade after winning the WNBA championship. 

“Usher, I better see you, Usher,” she said during the post-game press conference. “I’m not playing with you.” 

However, Usher missed the 2022 title celebrations, prompting Wilson to call on him to support the team after they repeated the feat a year later.  

“I promise you I’m not crazy, I just think that you need to come out and support the Aces,” Wilson said in a message to Usher. “We love you and I know you’ll love us back. You don’t even have to perform until after like in our locker room, you can sing with us or whatever. But you ain’t even got to perform, just show up and have a good time. You know Usher, we here for you.” 

Again, Usher couldn’t make it, but later invited A’ja Wilson and the Aces to his Las Vegas residency.

Big Sean Slams “Haters” Painting “Narratives” Amid Rumors He Dissed Kendrick Lamar 

Big Sean is hitting back against the haters who only speak negatively about him after his latest freestyle was perceived by many as a diss to Kendrick Lamar. 

The Detroit rapper has blessed fans with new music this week, teasing several unreleased songs and appearing on Eminem’s “Tobey.” However, his On the Radar bars grabbed the attention of social media users and saw him trending.  

On Tuesday (July 16), the popular freestyle platform dropped Big Sean’s offering over one of Aaliyah‘s greatest hits, “If Your Girl Only Knew.” However, his bar about an unnamed person using beef to grab attention has fans saying Big Sean shot at Kendrick Lamar. 

“N##### looking for engagement like they got they knee bent,” he raps. “I gotta better things to do than find someone to beef with.” 

After declaring himself the greatest, Big Sean fires at his mystery rival’s activism. 

“Difference is I’m an activist and you drink actavis and I’m back acclimated,” he adds. “And Imma need my cut off top it’s decapitated.” 

Furthermore, Big Sean’s recently teased Kanye West collab “Fighting Fires” also sparked whispers of a Kendrick Lamar beef.  

“I laugh at the fact they calling y’all the greatest, I’m set, it’s on, we solidified,” Big Sean declared. “You n##### say you run your city but that s### is gentrified.” 

Big Sean Seemingly Addresses Kendrick Lamar Diss Speculation

While Sean has previously insisted there is no bad blood between him and K. Dot, putting any past tension down to a “lack of communication,” fans decided otherwise.  

However, hours after his On The Radar freestyle dropped, Big Sean took to X (Twitter) to shut down the rumors. 

“Yall goin wit so many narratives,” he said. “Im talking to da haters who just keep finding something to point out they dont like bout me. Its not even worth explaining tho im a just focus on the music.” 

In a follow-up post, he added, “So many people turned they back on me, so i appreciate the ones who stayed down. N f### these b*tch ass n#####, every one of them.” 

Furthermore, DJ Hed claims he spoke to Big Sean, who denied taking shots at Kendrick Lamar. “Bar was directed at a different Gemini,” the West Coast radio DJ claimed.  

Is Donald Trump Amber Rose’s Savior From Rumored Federal Investigation

Amber Rose has recently cozied up to Donald Trump and the Republican Party. She, along with others, seems to have found a place within a party often criticized for Islamophobia, xenophobia, racism, and nationalism.

What’s surprising is that Amber Rose has never been seen as a credible voice in any serious discourse, especially politics. But here’s where it gets juicy. Word on the street is that Amber has been repeatedly accused of promoting and selling crypto scams. She has denied these claims, pleading ignorance, but recently, she surfaced with another one!

Amber Rose Combats “Racially Ambiguous” Title Despite Denouncing “Black Woman” Identity

Rumor has it there’s a federal investigation into her activities. This could be the reason she’s getting close to the Republican Party. Remember, she just spoke at the Republican National Convention.

The buzz is that she’s trying to secure favor in case things go south for her. Trump has a history of helping out people in legal trouble if they play their cards right.

Despite this, she’s still pushing another cryptocurrency venture, claiming to be more knowledgeable now. However, people continue to call her a scam artist and criticize her heavily.

By the way, her standing in the Hip-Hop community? It’s over. Many see her as a culture vulture who used the community until she had nothing left to gain. Be gone, heffer!

In addition to numerous hilarious clips Of Druski harshly critiquing the auditions of up-and-coming young artists, an insanely funny segment starring NLE Choppa is also featured in the video. However, the “S### Me Out 2” hitmaker did not appear as himself and instead opted to debut his altar ego Lil Curtis Keep-A-Switch.

“My name Lil Curtis Keep-A-Switch,” NLE Choppa said as he walked on camera in black airforces and a shiesty mask. Though it didn’t take long for Druski to realize that NLE Choppa was the man behind the mask, he played along with the skit while trolling the Memphis native at the same time.

“Hold on, hold on,” Druski said. “You like NLE Choppa.”

NLE Choppa responded, “For real. I get that s### a lot. On God. On God. I’m Curtis Keep-A-Switch though. Don’t confuse that s###.”

Druski replied, seemingly attempting to get NLE Choppa to break character.

“You sure you ain’t No?” he asked, to which NLE Choppa responded, “Hell nah fool! What the f##k I don’t look like that ugly ass n###a. Nice ass n###a. Man nice as hell. I smack the s##t outta NLE Choppa.”

After he made it clear that he wasn’t going to break the fourth wall and was going to remain in character, Druski took the sparing gloves off and went full-on bare knuckle with the jabs he began to take at NLE Choppa.

“Yeah that’s a fact, that’s a fact. That n###a a hoe. I don’t f##k with NLE Choppa, I spit on that n###a like this [spits on the ground],” he said before adding, “That hoe ass n###a ole b###c ass n###a.”

The tear-jerking segment ends with Druski denying the multi-platinum artist a record deal and having him drug off of the set by his security.

“If I knew I was going go up here and not sign to this s##t, I should just went ahead and blew it off rip!” NLE Choppa, aka Lil Curtis Keeep-A-Switch, said after his failed faux audition. “Real, real crash out s##t. Curtis Keep-A-Switch. That really what I’m known for around my ends crashing out. I had on black forces today. Why you didn’t crash out!

In a post AllHipHop shared covering the comical interaction between the pair, producer Southside share his support for NLE Choppa possibly cultivating his created character Lil Curtis Keep-A-Switch on the big screen, where his character development may thrive!

“This n###a nle need a movie,” Southside wrote.

Southside certainly has the right idea, and even though it’s one he arrived at independently, NLE Choppa is already a few steps ahead of him. He actually starred in the short film Nightmare on Cottonwood in 2023, when he also took on the role of co-director. The film also featured other notable personalities such as Kai Cenat and Sukihana.

Amber Rose Combats “Racially Ambiguous” Title Despite Denouncing “Black Woman” Identity

Amber Rose is defending herself from reports about her relationship with her ethnicity following her speech at the Republican National Convention.

Rose denies she’s ever said she doesn’t identify as Black in response to the remarks MSNBC national correspondent Joy Ann Reid made following her appearance and speech at the convention, where she endorsed Donald Trump in the 2024 election.

In a tweet she shared directed at the correspondent, Rose accused Reid of “race-baiting” while also denying that she ever denounced her Black heritage in the process.

“Hi @JoyAnnReid I’ve never said I wasn’t black I said I identify as biracial,” Rose wrote in the tweet. “I’m not going to invalid my white father to make you feel more comfortable. Stop being a race baiter ur president does enough race baiting for all of us.”

Though Rose has gone on record in the past claiming that she identifies as biracial, in a 2015 interview with Peter Rosenberg she said she doesn’t identify as a Black woman.

“I do not consider myself a Black woman, absolutely not,” Rose replied to Rosenberg when he asked if she considers herself Black. He replied, “What do you consider yourself?” to which Rose responded, singularly, “Biracial.”

Rose’s tweet follows the circulation of a clip of Reid’s reaction to her speech at the convention, where she said she is now in agreement with her father that Trump is not racist. In particular, the portion of the journalist’s remarks that went viral capture her criticism of Rose being poached by the Republican party to essentially lobby ethnic voters, despite the fact the model and personality may not consider herself as a true person of color.

“It’s ironic that they were able to recruit this young woman who, and she’s a racially ambiguous, I don’t want to say she’s Black, because she has said she’s not so I don’t want to say this Black woman, this woman who is of whatever race that she has claimed, she said she’s not Black, but they brought somebody whose whole career is based in Black culture,” Reid said.

Reid continued, “She used to be on a show on BET. That’s the reason most people know who she is. She dated one of the most prominent African-American rappers in the business in the history of hip hop. So her whole culture came from black culture, even though she says she’s not a black person herself, and the fact that she is now the person they’re using to try to recruit young people of color and to say that this is the person who is the endorser of Donald Trump, who you should trust when she won’t even claim the culture that brought her to the table.”
