Soulja Boy “Disappointed” With Drake After Kendrick Lamar Battle; Claims Peers Deserted Him 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Soulja Boy is sharing his thoughts on Drake following the battle with Kendrick Lamar. 

On Tuesday morning (July 16), the “Crank That” hitmaker took to social media with his perspective on the beef. According to Soulja Boy, Drake’s collaborators deserted him in the heat of the battle, claiming none of them came forward to back him. 

“You disappointed me @Drake,” Soulja Boy wrote on X (Twitter). “Doing all them weak ass songs with them n##### look where It got u none of them n##### you collab with or took on tour had yo back.”

During the battle, the OVO founder faced multiple attacks from previous collaborators. Among the shots from K. Dot, Drake also took heat from Rick Ross, The Weeknd, Kanye West and others. Additionally, J. Cole famously backed out of the beef, apologizing after dissing Kendrick Lamar.  

While Soulja Boy remained neutral during the beef, he went back and forth with Drake’s nemesis, Metro Boomin. He also exchanged words with Drizzy’s frequent collaborator and Her Loss co-creator, 21 Savage. 

Nonetheless, one of Soula Boy’s most viral moments stems from his comments about Drake during an appearance on The Breakfast Club in 2019. Draco blew it when told Drake was the biggest rapper in the world before accusing him of biting his flow. 

“Draaaaaaake? Draaaaaaaaake?” he yelled. “The n#### that got bodied by Pusha T? The n#### that hiding his kid from the world, but his world want to hide from the kid? Aubrey Graham in a wheelchair? Draaaaaake? Y’all n##### better stop playing with me, man. Y’all talking about the lightskin n#### from Degrassi?” 

Bhad Bhabie Flexes $57M OnlyFans Earnings As Max Series Uncovers Teen Trauma

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: Rumors

Bhad Bhabie has revealed that her financial situation is thriving despite the fact that she may be navigating a tumultuous and abusive relationship.

According to a recent report from TMZ, Bhad Bhabie, whose real name is Danielle Bregoli, has disclosed her staggering earnings from OnlyFans, surpassing an impressive $57 million since 2021. Sources confirm the authenticity of these earnings, with receipts backing up the claims.

Bhad Bhabie previously claimed she earned $1 million in her first six hours on the platform—which is ironic, considering she joined OnlyFans six days after she turned 18 in 2021. It’s also worth noting that a significant portion of her income comes from direct messages rather than subscriptions, which illustrates connection with her fans’, who clearly value a personal connection with her.

This financial revelation comes on the heels of Bhad Bhabie publicizing an alleged domestic dispute with her ex-boyfriend and father of her child, LeVaughn. On July 7, the internet personality posted a surveillance video allegedly featuring an altercation with LeVaughn. The clip was captured at 4:30 a.m. local time on June 30 and shows Bhad Bhabie being thrown to the ground. She also shared images of her injuries, revealing a badly bruised eye and abrasions on her face.

The news of Bhad Bhabie snatching millions from the explicit social media content platform has also been swallowed into the saga of Max’s documentary series “Teen Torture Inc.,” which sheds light on her harrowing experience at the Turn-About Ranch rehabilitation center. The series, currently #4 on Max’s Top 10 U.S. shows, delves into the emotional scars she carries from her time there. Bhad Bhabie recently shared an Instagram post featuring a trailer from the series which captures her reflecting on her experience at the center.

“I can speak for myself when I say that I’m still dealing with the effects from my time spent at the camp I was sent to and kept at for six months at 13 years old,” she wrote. “I know there’s also thousands of other people who have suffered abuse mentally and physically at these places that are still suffering.

“These places aren’t a solution to fix your kid. Please do not send them there, they will come back with more trauma. If you don’t believe me, go watch Teen Torture Inc now on @StreamOnMax. Also, go follow and support organizations like @ICAPANetwork that are working hard to help get these places shut down.”

Cardi B Addresses Pregnancy Rumors Amid Weeks Of Speculation 

By: London JennnCategory: Rumors

Cardi B has been plagued with pregnancy rumors for the past several weeks as fans claimed the NYC rapper appeared to be sporting a baby bump. 

However, she has finally addressed the buzzing speculation, but her response did little to confirm or deny the rumors.  

On Monday evening (July 15), Cardi B got into a back-and-forth with her fans, who debated when her sophomore album would drop. One fan jokingly asked Cardi about the swirling pregnancy rumors amid the drama.  

“Hey Bardi are you perganant,” they wrote. Cardi took the opportunity to respond, firing back with, “No I’m not perganant.” 

X/Cardi B

While some took it as confirmation the NYC rapper confirmed she is expecting her third child, others were not so easily persuaded.  

“Cardi B ends pregnancy rumors?” one fan suggested. “Ohh bardigang we r getting that tourrr. Even if she was pregnant, it’s her business if she wants a child with her OWN body she’s still human so be kind everyone.” 

“Lol no friend,” someone replied. “That hottie said ‘perganant’ Cardi ain’t no perganant.” 

Another fan responded to Cardi B with “’perganant’ ≠ pregnant.” 

Cardi B played into the pregnancy rumors while jetting off on a recent trip to Paris. She posted a series of images of herself boarding a plane with a giant Chanel covering her stomach. She also donned an oversized Balenciaga jersey.  

“B/tch I’m a motha,” she captioned her post.  

Other photos from her trip to Paris to celebrate Kulture’s sixth birthday also added to the growing baby talk. 

Earlier this month, fans were convinced they spotted a baby bump while celebrating the Fourth of July holiday in The Bronx. 

Lil Reese Arrested For Rape Following Alleged Assault At L.A. Hotel 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Lil Reese is reportedly facing rape allegations following his arrest over the weekend first revealed by Boosie Badazz. 

Chicago rapper was arrested on rape charges after an unidentified woman accused Lil Reese of forcing himself on her at a Los Angeles hotel, per TMZ. According to the outlet, Reese was on a dinner date with the woman before the alleged assault.  

After going back to a hotel in Downtown L.A., Reese insisted they have sex, but the woman refused. The report also states that Reese forced himself on her despite her refusal to have sex. 

The woman is said to have gone down to the lobby immediately after the alleged assault, where she called the police at around 3:30 a.m. local time on Sunday (July 14). 

Officers arrested Lil Reese at the hotel on suspicion of sexual assault and rape. He was reportedly later released on a $100K bond. 

After the arrest, Boosie shared a video on Instagram claiming cops hauled Lil Reese off to jail.  

“I’m at the hotel downtown and they just took Lil Reese to jail,” he says in the clip. “He came out handcuffed. They had all his bags, so if any y’all Lil Reese people, y’all need to check on him. They just took him to jail.” 

While Boosie shared his video before reports of the rape allegation, he said he heard a woman was accused of lying about Lil Reese, leading to his arrest. 

“Some woman said he lied on him or some s###,” Boosie continued. “Any of Reese’s people, the Grim Reaper people, they just took him to jail downtown L.A. and put him in a car. Y’all need to tap in with your people.” 

Joe Biden Addresses Donald Trump’s “Black Jobs” Remarks: “He Means Menial Labor” 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Joe Biden is addressing Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign, questioning his support from the Hip-Hop community and his statements about “Black jobs.” 

The POTUS addressed his political rival during an interview with Speedy Morman for Complex. Morman asked Biden about Trump’s widely ridiculed controversial remarks from last month’s presidential debate.  

“A Black job is the same as a white job, the same as any other job,” Biden replied. “But you know what he means by Black jobs. He means menial labor. That’s what he thinks. He thinks he’s gonna sell golden shoes or sneakers. … There’s a reason why we are the most advanced nation in the world, the most progressive nation in the world, and why our economy is the biggest. We’re the only nation in the world that isn’t xenophobic.” 

Joe Biden On Donald Trump Courting Rappers

Biden also spoke on Trump courting the support of rappers ahead of the 2024 presidential election.  

“Well, I’m not sure he has that allegiance, number one,” Biden said. “Number two, if you look at his record in terms of African Americans and minorities, it’s abysmal the way he handles everything. The answer is, I don’t know if he has hip-hop artists that are supportive of him.” 

Biden continued, “But I know that I got started in politics because of the African American community. When I was a kid, I was a young man in high school and college, my state was segregated by law. I got involved in the movement. And the reason I got elected when I was 29 from a very modest background was because of the Black community.” 

Both Donald Trump and Joe Biden have been backed by rappers during their election campaigns. Fat Joe and E-40 rallied for the President in North Carolina last month, while Icewear Vezzo and Peezy popped out for Trump in Detroit. 

Cardi B Accused Of Shading Megan Thee Stallion Over Album Sales 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Cardi B attempted to clarify some details about her upcoming album but found herself accused of shading her friend and collaborator Megan Thee Stallion. 

Earlier this week, Cardi B teased an announcement about the long-awaited follow-up to 2017’s “Invasion of Privacy.” However, it appears some fans deduced that the album, which Cardi promised to drop in 2024, won’t arrive until much later in the year.  

One fan suggested, “An album in autumn/winter will have MUCH LESS chances of getting viral hits and will earn much less streams and sales.” 

However, Cardi B caught wind of the post and fired back, insisting artists’ sales have been low this summer generally.  

“Please tell me which album been doing good this summer? Since you got your degree and act like you f##### know everything,” she replied. 

However, many fans took it as a shot at Megan Thee Stallion, who released her self-titled LP last month, and accused Cardi B of shading her friend.  

“Shady wat b####?” she clapped back at one person. “It’s the f##### truth albums are not performing as good in the summer as the ones dropping in the other seasons …The music traffic is insane, there’s thousands of songs releasing and you can’t barely get placement for more then 2 weeks because of so many dropping at a time is STATISTICS… unbend your wrist and think wit your brain not everything is messy and shady weird ass.” 

In other since-deleted posts, Cardi B asserted that she isn’t a seasonal artist and has made hits year-round. She also threatened to delay the album until the summer of 2025 and followed up with a Twitter Spaces chat. 

“The summer is almost done. I’m not going to give my fans two weeks of pre-orders. I told my label … when I drop my album, everything better be f###### right, from the merch to other things coming out,” Cardi B said. “I didn’t release my first album in the summertime. It was April 6 b####; you were wearing coats in muthafuckin New York on April 6.” 

She added, “Ok, so you know what? Maybe I should go with what you say; I’m a just drop next summer because you said so.”

Despite her clarification, some fans still assumed Cardi B dissed Megan Thee Stallion. Check out some of the reactions below.  

French Montana Slammed By Outraged Fans After Bringing Andrew Tate Onstage In Romania 

By: London JennnCategory: News

French Montana is catching heat after bringing out alleged human trafficker Andrew Tate onstage with him. 

The problematic internet personality joined Montana as his special guest at the Beach, Please Festival in Romania.  

“Make some f#####’ noise for my brother Andrew Tate,” French Montana said, welcoming his guest to the stage. “We did a podcast. I’m the first rapper to do a podcast with my brother, one time. But Romania loves you, my brother!” 

Tate then instructed the crowd to chant his catchphrase, “Escape The Matrix!” 

The “Unforgettable” hitmaker shared a clip on Instagram of Tate joining him onstage.  

“First rapper to do a stream with top G and the first to bring Top G out on stage!” Montana captioned his post. “ROMANIA WE LOVE YOU S/O Andrew Tate + Tristan Tate.” 

However, French Montana fans were appalled at his associate with Andrew Tate, who is in Romania awaiting trial on human trafficking charges. He also faces charges of rape and creating an organized crime group with his brother Tristan.   

The siblings reportedly operated a crime ring that spanned the Atlantic, stretching from Romania to the United Kingdom and the United States.    

“French, why would you bring the Tate brothers on stage? Why would you affiliate? They are seriously shady guys. I am disapponted,” one fan wrote in Montana’s comment section.  

“DISGUSTING  SUCH A LOW MOVE bringing him on stage,” added another, while a third claimed, “No one in Romania loves tate.” 

Amber Rose Dragged Online After Endorsing Donald Trump At RNC 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Amber Rose is facing intense backlash over her endorsement of Donald Trump at the 2024 Republican National Convention. 

On Monday (July 1), the model and entrepreneur threw her support behind Trump, backing him to become president in a passionate speech. 

However, her appearance didn’t go down well online, with social media users blasting her for speaking at the RNC and reversing her take after criticizing Trump during his 2016 campaign. 

Amber Rose was trending No. 1 on X (Twitter), where many users shared a clip of Joseline Hernandez calling Rose out on College Hill: Celebrity Edition. In the heated clip, Hernandez accused Rose of wanting to be “a white girl.” 

Amber Rose’s mom is a Black woman of Black Cape Verdean and Scottish descent, and her father is white.  

“Joseline was right about Amber Rose,” one person wrote alongside the College Hil clip. 

Additionally, a clip of Joy Reid discussing Amber Rose on CNN following the RNC was also making the rounds. Reid highlights the problem of having a “Racially ambiguous woman” whose whole career was based in Black culture “to try to recruit young people of color.”  “She won’t even claim the culture that brought her to the table,” Reid added. 

“Whew, Joy Reid Read tf outta Amber Rose,” the user wrote, sharing the clip.  

During her RNC speech, Amber Rose denied allegations that 34-times convicted felon Donald Trump is racist. “I realized Donald Trump and his supporters don’t care if you’re black, white, gay, or straight, it’s all love,” she continued. 

“The best chance we have to give our babies a better life is to elect Donald Trump,” she claimed in her speech. 

Check out some other reactions below. 

Amber Rose Speech At RNC: Denies Donald Trump And His Supporters Are Racists

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

Amber Rose’s political transformation took center stage Monday (July 15) at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, where the model and entrepreneur declared her support for former President Donald Trump.

This marks a striking shift for Rose, who previously criticized Donald Trump during his 2016 presidential run.

But on Monday, Amber Rose endorsed Trump for the 2024 election, stating her reasons passionately.

“My whole world revolves around providing for my children, keeping them safe, and giving them an opportunity for a better life,” Amber Rose said. “That’s something that unites all American parents, whether we’re Republicans, Democrats, conservatives, or liberals. We all want a better country for our children.

“I’m here tonight to tell you, no matter your political background, that the best chance we have to give our babies a better life is to elect Donald Trump, President of the United States,” she added.

Amber Rose cited economic security and safety as critical factors influencing her newfound support, arguing that Trump’s policies make her feel protected as a single mother of two young children.

She also took the opportunity to criticize the media, accusing it of spreading falsehoods about Trump, a statement that prompted considerable applause.

She specifically addressed accusations of racism against Trump.

“My entire family is racially diverse, and I believed the left-wing propaganda that Donald Trump was a racist. My father said, ‘No, he’s not, Amber. What are you talking about?’ And when I insisted, he said, ‘Prove it.’ So to prove my father wrong, I did my research and looked into all things Donald Trump,” Rose explained.

“People have to do their research. I watched all the rallies, and I started meeting so many of his red-hat-wearing supporters. I realized Donald Trump and his supporters don’t care if you’re black, white, gay, or straight, it’s all love,” she continued.

“If you’re watching this tonight, you know our country is in trouble. Just like me, when you go to the store to buy food for your family, you’re shocked. When you fill-up your gas tank, you’re p#####. I know I am,” she stated.

Reactions to Rose’s speech have been mixed. Some commend her for embracing right-wing principles, while others criticize what they see as a betrayal of her previous views.

Rose’s speech is part of a diverse RNC roster, featuring speakers like UFC CEO Dana White, country singers Lee Greenwood and Chris Jansen, and former Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson.

N.O.R.E Makes Bold Prediction For Drake & Kendrick Lamar’s Future Relationship

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: Rumors

N.O.R.E still believes there’s history to be made in the rap beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar.

In a brief message, he shared on Twitter, the Drink Champs podcast creator and host laid out his prediction for the spectacular fashion in which he believes Drizzy and KD will squash their beef.

Despite the fact that both Drake and Kendrick released extremely personal, saving diss tracks aimed at each other, N.O.R.E still believes there is hope the pair will reunite at some point in either the near or distant future.

“I predict Kendrick and drake squash it and eventually make 1 of the greatest hiphop records of all time !!!” N.O.R.E tweeted.

Almost immediately, fans began picking apart N.O.R.E’s prediction, remarking on how the severity of the insults hurled between the two rappers during the battle appear to make reconciliation impossible.

“this is cute but no. the kind of hate Kendrick displayed for Drake is generational lmao ain’t no taking backsies,” a Twitter/X user wrote in reply to his tweet.

Another user added, “N.O.R.E must not know Drake offered Kendrick a feature verse on First Person Shooter and he turned it down, and called him a pedofile in the middle of a rap battle.”

N.O.R.E’s prediction follows yet another tumultuous week within the saga of Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s simmering rap beef. Lil Wayne recently went viral after a video of his performance began circulating on social media when fans realized he sang the lyrics to Kendrick’s “Not Like Us” Drake diss while holding up his OVO owl chain and rapping he and Drizzy’s classic collaboration “The Motto.” Additionally, Kendrick’s aforementioned diss track returned to the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart, making it the Compton rapper’s longest-running No. 1 hit.

Even though it’s clear fans believe N.O.R.E may be delusional when it comes to how he’s foreshadowed the trajectory of Drake and Kendrick’s rap beef, he’s more of an expert on beef than most think. In fact, he himself has a notable history of being involved in rap beefs throughout different stages of his career. One of the most prominent beefs he was involved in was with he and Capone’s rivals, Mobb Deep, during the late 1990s.

The feud was part of the broader Queensbridge versus Lefrak City rivalry, as both groups hailed from these adjacent New York neighborhoods. Additionally, N.O.R.E had tensions with Tragedy Khadafi, who mentored him and Capone early in their careers but later had a falling out over business and personal issues.

Another significant conflict N.O.R.E was involved in was with Nas, which stemmed from misunderstandings and diss tracks exchanged during the early 2000s. Despite these confrontations, N.O.R.E. has managed to maintain relationships with many of his peers and has even hosted some of his former adversaries, such as Nas, on his and DJ EFN’s Drink Champs podcast.

With Praise From Eminem & Lil Wayne, Who Will RJ Payne Sign To?

By: Houston WilliamsCategory: Rumors

There’s some buzz on the street! Word is that one of the illest rappers alive right now, rap monster RJ Payne, is about to sign a major label deal.

I know who he will sign with, but I can’t reveal it just yet. The rumor is that he will sign with a very well-known, classic-era rap artist who has strong ties to major labels. This individual is still active in the game and has recently shown a lot of support for RJ.

They collaborated on a song that significantly boosted the Philly rapper’s streams and visibility. Even more recently, RJ Payne received praise from Eminem and Lil Wayne. While they are both classic-era Hip-Hop artists in my book, they aren’t the ones I’m referring to. Could there be a bidding war brewing? Speculation is a part of this process if you get what I am saying. From what I know, one artist is set to sign him Eminemently. (No pun intended.)

You may remember RJ was our Emcee of the Year a few years ago and has received a lot of love here at the site and on various platforms affiliated with us. You know we love our lyrical lords at AllHipHop! By the way, the word on the street is that Payne did a blazing song with KRS-One! Domingo produced it! I can’t wait to hear the finished product.

Here’s some of that Domingo heat:

Young Thug Case Hanging By Thread After Judge Botches Trial

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Judge Ural Glanville may have damaged Young Thug’s Georgia RICO trial beyond repair. The YSL rapper faced a potential mistrial following the judge’s recusal, per his co-defendant Yak Gotti’s attorney Douglas Weinstein.

Weinstein said state law required the trial to rewind to June 12. Jurors heard key witness Kenneth “Lil Woody” Copeland testify after that date, which may compel a new judge to declare a mistrial.

“I don’t want to put the cart before the horse, but if we ask for a mistrial, it’s because we were goaded into that through the actions of the prosecution as well as the judge and given that goading, double jeopardy should attach and [Yak Gotti] should not be retried,” Weinstein told Rolling Stone’s Nancy Dillon.

Judge Rachel Krause ordered Judge Glanville to recuse himself from the YSL RICO trial on Monday (July 15). Defense lawyers sought Glanville’s recusal over his secret meeting with Copeland and prosecutors.

A post shared by AllHipHop (@allhiphopcom)

Young Thug’s lawyer Brian Steel confronted Glanville about the meeting in June. Steel accused Glanville and prosecutors of coercing Copeland into testifying in the trial. Glanville demanded to know who told Steel about the meeting. Steel refused to reveal the source of his information. Glanville held Steel in contempt and sentenced the attorney to 20 days in jail.

The Georgia Supreme Court granted bond to Steel, preventing him from spending any time in jail. Young Thug and his co-defendants continued to pursue Glanville’s removal from the trial. Glanville initially refused to recuse himself before letting another judge settle the matter. Krause sided with the defense.

“This Court has no doubt that Judge Glanville can and would continue presiding fairly over this matter if the recusal motions were denied, but the ‘necessity of preserving the public’s confidence in the judicial system’ weighs in favor of excusing Judge Glanville from further handling of this case,” Krause ruled.

Young Thug’s trial was on hold until Krause decided on Glanville’s recusal. Young Thug remains in jail.

50 Cent’s Team Shoots Down Rumors He’s Appearing At Republican National Convention

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: Rumors

(UPDATE) 50 Cent’s rep denies the rapper/television producer is appearing at the RNC. As explained in a statement sent to TMZ, “He is not attending [the RNC], as he is slated to be in Shreveport preparing for his ‘Humor and Harmony’ festival.”

———————————————————————————————-

50 Cent has reportedly agreed to appear at the Republican National Convention, per sources close to the matter. According to multiple CNN correspondents, 50 Cent is rumored to appear at the Republican National Convention, which runs from Monday (July 15) through this upcoming Thursday (July 18).

A tweet from Kate Sullivan, who covers Donald Trump and the 2024 election for CNN, the G-Unit media mogul is “in talks with convention officials” to appear in Milwaukee.

A post shared by AllHipHop (@allhiphopcom)

Additionally, Victor Blackwell, co-host of CNN This Morning Weekend, 50 Cent may have even agreed to more than just an appearance at the convention.

“CNN: 50 Cent is currently scheduled to perform at the GOP convention this week, according to a person familiar.

The person cautioned plans could still change, but as of Monday morning, 50 Cent was scheduled to perform at the convention,” Blackwell wrote in a tweet.

News of 50 Cent’s appearance at the convention follows the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at his recent rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Following the shooting, 50 Cent shared a meme featuring Trump’s head photoshopped on the cover if his classic Get Rich or Die Tryin‘ album cover in reaction to the LP’s fan-favorite deep-cut “Many Men (Wish Death)” trending in the aftermath of the event.

Multiple reports also have confirmed that the track has re-entered the top 10 on US iTunes Charts after trending on social media following the shooting. 50 Cent has also taken full advantage of he moment, announcing the sale of “Many Men” t-shirts in an Instagram post on July 15.

A post shared by Thisis50.com (@thisis50)

During the 2020 United States presidential election, 50 Cent publicly endorsed Trump, primarily due to concerns over President Joe Biden’s proposed tax policies. In October 2020, Fifty shared a post on Instagram criticizing Biden’s tax plan, which he claimed would significantly raise taxes for high earners in states like New York and California.

His endorsement sparked a flurry of media coverage and discussions, as 50 Cent’s support was seen as a significant deviation from the norm for a prominent figure in the entertainment industry.

Despite facing backlash from fans and fellow celebrities, 50 Cent remained vocal about his support for Trump, highlighting economic policies as his primary motivation.

However, his endorsement was somewhat short-lived, as he later retracted his support, citing a conversation with comedian Chelsea Handler, who reminded him of the broader implications of a Trump presidency beyond tax concerns.

Young Thug Scores Big Win With Judge’s Removal From YSL RICO Trial

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Judge Rachel Krause granted Young Thug’s motion to disqualify/recuse Judge Ural Glanville from the YSL RICO trial on Monday (July 15). Krause ruled in favor of the rapper and his co-defendants despite the defense questioning her impartiality.

“This Court has no doubt that Judge Glanville can and would continue presiding fairly over this matter if the recusal motions were denied, but the ‘necessity of preserving the public’s confidence in the judicial system’ weighs in favor of excusing Judge Glanville from further handling of this case,” Krause ruled.

Glanville was removed from the case a month after a courtroom showdown with Young Thug’s lawyer Brian Steel. Glanville created controversy by privately meeting with prosecutors and key witness Kenneth “Lil Woody” Copeland during the trial. Steel learned about the meeting and confronted Glanville in court.

Steel was held in contempt of court and sentenced to jail time for refusing to reveal the source of his information. The legal clash derailed the RICO trial as lawyers fought Steel’s contempt charge and requested Glanville’s recusal.

Glanville refused to recuse himself before allowing another judge to decide on whether he should exit Young Thug’s case. Krause was tasked with the decision.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by AllHipHop (@allhiphopcom)

The defense filed a motion seeking Krause’s recusal based on Glanville donating to her re-election campaign. Krause rejected the motion on July 9. A week later, Krause showed no bias toward Glanville by ordering his recusal.

“It is worth noting that this Court agrees generally with Judge Glanville’s assessment of the propriety of the ex parte meeting,” Krause wrote. “While the meeting could have – and perhaps should have – taken place in open court, nothing about the fact of the meeting or the substance discussed was inherently improper.”

She continued, “However, in his order denying Defendant Kendrick’s motion and in the process of making his record on July 1, 2024, Judge Glanville added facts, provided context, questioned the veracity of allegations, and otherwise explained his decisions and actions and argued why those actions were proper. While it ‘may be appropriate for the judge to disclose information relevant to his potential recusal,’ such a ‘disclosure must be made in a way that is as objective, dispassionate, and non-argumentative as possible, so that the judge is not reasonably perceived as a hostile witness or advocate.’”

Krause’s ruling added another wrinkle to Young Thug’s convoluted case. His slow-moving trial began in 2023. It is already the longest trial in Georgia history.

Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” Remains Song Of Summer With Another Week At No. 1

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” reclaimed the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. “Not Like Us” jumped from No. 3 to No. 1 not long after K. Dot released a music video for the Drake diss track.

“Not Like Us” returned to the top of the Hot 100 with 53.8 million streams, 40 million radio airplay audience impressions and around 8,000 copies sold in the U.S. for the week of July 5-11. Kendrick’s single generated over 50 million streams for a fifth week, the most for any song in 2024.

Kendrick dropped “Not Like Us” in May. The track debuted at No. 1 on the Hot 100. It was the fourth No. 1 song of K. Dot’s career. He previously scored chart-topping hits with “Humble,” his Taylor Swift collaboration “Bad Blood” and guest appearance on Future and Metro Boomin’s “Like That,” which ignited the Pulitzer Prize winner’s battle with Drake.

“Not Like Us” is widely perceived as the knockout blow in Kendrick Lamar’s beef with Drake. The two rivals traded diss tracks before “Not Like Us” transcended the battle in a way few rap disses do.

Kendrick Lamar ruthlessly attacked Drake on previous disses such as “euphoria” and “Meet the Grahams,” but the catchiness of “Not Like Us” captured the public’s attention in a completely different way. The DJ Mustard-produced hit crossed over despite lyrics accusing Drake of pedophilia and predatory behavior.

Drake responded to Kendrick Lamar with “The Heart Part 6,” but the Canadian star’s retort did nothing to quell the enthusiasm for “Not Like Us.” Kendrick’s diss became a pop culture phenomenon, solidifying itself as the song of summer.

KendrickLamar added insult to injury by performing “Not Like Us” multiple times at “The Pop Out: Ken & Friends” concert in Los Angeles on Juneteenth. He released the song’s music video on July 4. The video had more than 56 million YouTube views as of July 15.

Jacquees reflected on his relationship with Deiondra in a lengthy post on Instagram. He disclosed his struggles with alcoholism and praised his fiancée for her positive impact on his life.

“A lot of people don’t know you really saved my life,” he wrote. “I was an alcoholic for years. I didn’t realize it. I was fighting it, a hard battle but I always knew I could do it if I wanted to but I need a little more motivation … So on March 3, 2024, I quit drinking. I knew you believed in me. And nobody else couldn’t fix me … I haven’t drank liquor in 4 months and the last 4 month months have been incredible. They haven’t been perfect. But they have been incredible in my life. I’ve made a complete 360 and you’ve had everything to do with that.”

Jacquees and Deiondra announced the latter’s pregnancy in March. The couple held a gender reveal party in May. The two are having a baby boy.

Snoop Dogg Reveals Tupac Shakur Passed Him His First Blunt

The Tupac Shakur strain was produced by Snoop Dogg’s Death Row Cannabis brand, launched in 2023. The occasion was something of a full-circle moment for the longtime pot smoker. During Tupac’s posthumous induction to the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame in 2017, Snoop recalled Shakur passing him his first ever blunt.  

“I finally got a chance to meet Pac in 1993 at a wrap party for Poetic Justice in LA,” he shared. On that night, Pac passed me my first blunt. That’s right. Tupac is the one that got Snoop Dogg smoking blunts.”

According to Forbes, the exclusive Tupack Shakur line will be available for purchase in select California dispensaries by Friday (July 19). A further rollout is then planned for release in Michigan later this year.  

Snoop Dogg is one of Hip-Hop’s most well-known pot smokers. He previously revealed he even lit up at the White House. The security of the building was no match for Snoop, who snuck off to the bathroom while at a celebration for Herbie Hancock.  

“I look around, check the surroundings, make sure there ain’t no CIA around,” Snoop recalled in a 2016 interview with Heather B on SiriusXM. “Light up some tissue, just to see if anything gonna happen, tissue works. Boom. Next thing I do is pull that thing out of my sock.”  

Snoop took a few tokes before hearing somebody approaching. “Put him out real quick and got on out to the party,” he added. 

Plies Questions Why Donald Trump “Disappeared” Following Assassination Attempt 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Plies is apparently feeling skeptical following the alleged assassination attempt on Donald Trump over the weekend. On Monday (July 15), Plies took to social media to ask some questions following the Saturday (July 13) shooting.

Numerous baseless conspiracy theories have swirled online, with some netizens claiming the entire incident was staged. In his post, Plies questioned why Trump’s physician hasn’t made a public statement about his injuries.  

“Trump, MAGA, The Media & Republicans Are The ONLY People Saying Trump Was Shot!!!” Plies began. “It’s Been 48hrs. Where Is The Doctor That Treated Him & Confirmed His Shooting? The Shooter Has Been Confirmed. The Innocent Bystander Deceased Confirmed. Everything Confirmed But Him Being Shot!” 

Plies also questioned why Donald Trump is not courting media attention like the rapper expected him to do in the wake of the incident. 

“No Way In Hell A Guy Who Loves Attention Like Trump Would Go Back In Hiding After So Called Being Shot!” he added. “He’d Be Playing In Front The Camera Every Second He Could. He Disappeared After The Debate, Disappeared After Shooting. He Disappears When He Feel The Media Doing His Bidding!!” 

X/Plies

In the chaos that followed the attempted assassination, reports surfaced that Trump was not grazed by a bullet but instead was cut by a piece of glass from his shattered teleprompter.  

However, those reports went unconfirmed, and Trump later said he was “shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear.” 

The 20-year-old suspect, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was killed by a Secret Service sniper at the scene. One bystander was killed by bullets that missed Trump, while two others were critically injured.  

On Sunday (July 14), Kodak Black warned Plies not to “slander” Donald Trump, telling him, “Fall back, love ’cause s### can get mafioso, boy.”

By: London JennnCategory: News

Ma$e and Cam’ron addressed J Prince on the latest episode of their podcast after the music exec called the duo out over their criticism of Shakur Stevenson whom Prince claims to manage.

“Since you’re the Big Homie we starting with you,” Ma$e began, addressing J Prince. “You are so lacking self-awareness. When you give such a lackluster performance and then you think you can make threats to people because you gave a lackluster performance, you don’t have the right to tell me what I should like or to tell Cam what he should like.” 

Ma$e went on, claiming “art is subjective,” so nobody should be mad over their opinion, and continued his criticism of Stevenson’s tactical style.  

“We not your little n#####,” Ma$e declared. “The way you talking, I don’t get what you mean. We’re not your little n#####. For real all that big homie stuff that’s for little n#####. Little n##### have big homies. We’re not little n#####, so we don’t even respect big homies. I know killer doesn’t, and for me I never respected n##### in the streets. That’s why I always got the problems I got.” 

Ma$e added that he wants to “respect” J Prince but can’t because of how he was raised. “If you’re 60 years old and you trying to be a street n####, you failed,” he added. “I’m telling you this. My name is Mace. I stand by this.” 

J Prince Warns Cam’ron And Ma$e

On Sunday (July 14) J Prince called out Cam’ron and Ma$e telling the duo “I will fade all [of Shakur Stevenson] shots and take all bets.” 

However, Ma$e was baffled by J Prince’s approach after recently speaking to J Prince while on Facetime with Kanye West.  

“I don’t even know why he would come at me with that energy,” Ma$e said. “I felt really disrespected by him doing it. It’s certain people you supposed to come at like that and I’m not one of them.”
