Kanye West Supposedly Quits Music Biz, Uncertain About His Future

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

Kanye West signaled an abrupt halt to his music career in a text message shared by Rich The Kid on Tuesday (July 9.) The post, which was quickly deleted, captured West stating, “I am retiring from professional music. Not sure what else to do.”

Rich The Kid responded with disbelief, urging him to reconsider: “Retire? Why? How? The ppl NEED you the music you & Ty & we have made the BIGGEST STAMP in culture to this date in 2024.”

“Drop Ye about mine & V2 and we do it all over again the kids need you big bra fasho maybe some time to chill but retiring ain’t it.”

The brief Instagram Story left fans in awe, wondering if West was truly stepping away from his illustrious career that boasts 157 Hot 100 entries over two decades.

Skepticism, however, quickly arose. Could this revelation be another calculated move before his next project?

Despite the uncertainty, Rich The Kid confirmed his album, Life’s A Gamble, is dropping on July 19, with West guest-starring on two tracks.

Argentina Soccer Team Trolls Drake After Messi Denies Rapper $2.8M Copa América Win 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Drake just can’t seem to catch a break. 

While the Canadian rap star has kept a relatively low profile following his battle with Kendrick Lamar, the hype around K. Dot’s scathing diss “Not Like Us” continues.  

Nonetheless, Drake recently indulged in one of his hobbies, placing a bet on his national team. He put $300,000 on Canada to beat Argentina in the Copa América semifinal on Tuesday (July 9). 

The OVO founder shared his betting slip on his Instagram Story, revealing a nearly $3 million payout if Canada beat Argentina. “This could get Messi,” he captioned his post, somewhat prophetically. 

However, goals from Julián Álvarez and Lionel Messi kept the defending champions in the race, and Argentina took the opportunity to troll Drake. 

The Instagram account for the world champions shared a picture of the winning team, captioned “A team that breaks any bet.” Taking the joke a step further, Argentina played Lamar’s Drake diss “Not Like Us,” in the background.

Argentina’s English-speaking account also trolled Drake on X (Twitter), posting the same photo captioned, “Not like us, not with us.” 

Although he bet against Argentina, Drake previously wagered $1 million on Argentina to beat France in the 2022 FIFA World Cup final.  

Although Argentina won, Drake narrowly missed out on a potential $2.75 million pay out. The team won in a penalty shootout, while the bet was only valid if Argentina won during the first 90 minutes of play.  

Shakur Stevenson Hits Back After Cam’ron Threatens To “Slap Fire” Out Of The Boxer 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Cam’ron and Ma$e pulled no punches, firing back at boxer Shakur Stevenson after his lengthy Twitter rant over the criticism of his recent victory over Artem Harutyunyan. 

The duo had commented on the bout with Ma$e saying, “I don’t want to see Shakur fight,” and commenting on his tactical display.  

Stevenson caught wind of the segment and blasted ‘fake pastor” Ma$e over his “failed career,” and said he was “ready to go to war.” He also told the It is What It Is hosts to “glove up or shut up.”  

Cam’ron and Ma$e responded on Tuesday’s (July 9) episode of their podcast. After roasting Stevenson while watching the Stevenson vs. Harutyunyan fight and pretending to fall asleep, the tone shifted. 

“I see why they call you Shakur Twitterson,” Cam’ron joked. “My n####, four hours of tweeting about me and Ma$e is wild. You boring, n####! I thought I was rather polite about it.” 

Cam’ron then threatened to “slap fire” out of Shakur Stevenson, before telling him “You getting boxing and the streets confused.” 

“If you want to impress me, step up in weight,” he continued. “Fight Teofimo [Lopez] in Newark so he can knock your head to Irvington, n####. F### is you talking about?” 

He also addressed Stevenson’s “failed career” remarks. “Ma$e was Michael Jackson after Michael Jackson, n####. Before Drake,” he said. “He sold five million in three weeks. F### is you talking about? Ma$e is one million percent a better rapper than you are a boxer!” 

Shakur Stevenson didn’t back down, hitting back at Cam’ron and Ma$e on Twitter. 

“These n##### mad Yall b#### ass boys ain’t gone do s### bout it either. Camron ever lift his hand up this way I’m putting him right out soft ass old n#####,” he stated. “Mase go get back on diddy playing wit yo man hood f### boy.” 

Stevenson also vowed to play Cam and Ma$e at their own game, vowing to drop a track. “I’m bout to get in the studio next week. I’m gone drop a Hit watch,” he teased.

Chris Brown Reacts To “Scary” Video Of Alleged Stalker’s Death Threats 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Chris Brown is sharing his concerns after posting a “scary” video of an alleged stalker threatening to kill his dancers. 

On Tuesday (July 9), the “Press Me” hitmaker shared a video of an individual who goes by the username chrisbrownzwife777. In the footage, the alleged stalker recalls an incident with one of Chris Brown’s backup dancers, at one point mentioning they understand why people carry guns at shows.  

“Man, wait til I get my money right,” they said. “If I gotta join a gang, if I gotta do some mob s### I don’t care.” 

The alleged stalker then threatens to kill the aforementioned dancer and bizarrely states they want to “work for the government” to evade criminal charges. “Where can I legally kill, because I’m coming for you,” they added. “As soon as I can. Might be twenty years from now.” 

After continuing to fantasize about getting away with murder, the alleged stalker claimed they were once approached by Chris Brown’s security.   

“Somebody bust a move,” they shouted at the camera. “Bust a f###### move.” 

The video also included a mugshot of the alleged stalker with the caption: “Prior arrest for assault/battery in Florida” and another photo which appears to be from a Chris Brown meet-and-greet. 

“I’m not tryna be mean at all,” Chris Brown captioned his since-deleted post. “But this s### is scary!”  

How Hip Hop’s Embracing Gaming Culture

By: Staff WriterCategory: Uncategorized

After wrapping up a studio session one evening, the Grammy-nominated rapper 21 Savage found himself unwinding not in a nightclub, but in an online casino gaming platform. “It’s the thrill of the game,” he says, “the same kind of rush I get performing on stage.” 

This is an anecdote that’s not unique in today’s music scene, particularly in the hip hop and rap genres. The intersection of music and gaming is becoming increasingly pronounced, with both hip hop culture and digital gaming informing each other in the realms of entertainment. 

A Symbiotic Relationship

When it comes to video gaming, music has played a central role since day one and not always in terms of providing a soundtrack. In the 1980s and 1990s, classic arcade games like Pac-Man, and later Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat, became cultural phenomena, with the competitive nature of these games parallelling the fierce, competitive spirit of vocal battles. During this era of gaming, iconic artists like Run-D.M.C. and the Wu-Tang Clan began to reference video games in their lyrics and aesthetics, highlighting their growing connection to gaming culture.

As technology advanced, the gaming landscape shifted from arcades to home consoles. The introduction of devices like the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) and SEGA Genesis/Mega Drive brought gaming into households, making it more accessible to a wider demographic of gamers. 

Hip-hop artists, who were now emerging as mainstream celebrities, embraced these consoles as both a way to play games and a means of social connection. The influence of gaming in hip-hop was evident in the lyrics, fashion, and even the artwork of the albums released during this decade. For instance, Wu-Tang Clan’s obsession with martial arts, a common theme in video games, was a significant part of their artistic identity. 

As the 2000s began to unfold, we saw the rise of more sophisticated gaming consoles being released from consumer tech giants SONY and Microsoft, which further deepened the bond between the two cultures. The emergence of online gaming platforms, multiplayer games and remote genres like iGaming created new opportunities for interaction and competition, two qualities that appealed to urban music artists. 

Hip hop entertainers were among the first celebrities to embrace this new gaming culture, often participating in online gaming communities and even investing in eSports teams. For some, like 21 Savage, the online casino genre had the biggest appeal, not just in terms of the array of variants available in games like blackjack, but the relative anonymity that online gaming platforms provided—a rap artist at a brick and mortar casino would draw substantial press and fan attention. Others were first introduced to hip hop entertainment via gaming, as we’ve seen with KSI’s multi-disciplinary career development.

The Influence of Hip Hop on Gaming (and Vice Versa)

Here in the 21st century, renowned hip hop artists have become some of the most influential figures in the gaming world, often using their extensive platforms to share their passion for the pastime. Snoop Dogg’s love of gaming, for instance, is well known. He frequently streams gaming sessions on platforms like Twitch, where he plays a variety of genres. Snoop has even taken his love of gaming a step further by launching his own games label, Death Row Games. 

audience. The Canadian rapper made headlines when he joined Twitch streamer Ninja for a Fortnite session in 2018— which actually broke viewership records. 

This integration works both ways, even extending into other areas of street culture such as fashion and lifestyle. Gaming references can be increasingly found in lyrics, with artists skillfully weaving gaming terminology and metaphors into their storytelling. Tracks like Logic’s 44 More and even Kanye West’s Stronger feature lyrics that draw parallels between gaming and life. 

The link is apparent in music videos, too, with artists incorporating gaming aesthetics into their visuals. The music video Panini by Lil Nas X is a notable example for its immersive, futuristic gaming-adjacent graphics. Plus, brands like A Bathing Ape and Supreme have taken gaming-inspired streetwear to new heights, with hip hop artists often seen sporting their collections.

While Perry kept his cards close to his chest, 50 Cent teased an upcoming collab he believes will make history.  

“BIG collaboration coming soon,” he wrote on Instagram alongside a clip of Perry praising him. ‘Sprinkle a little Tyler, sprinkle a little 50 and BOOMyou can’t beat it ! HISTORY IN THE MAKING.”

“I love it. Yall gon be the Twin Towers of Black Cinema,” one person shared in the comment section, while another joked, “Tyler Perry presents “Madea: In Da Club.” 

50 Cent recently rejected reports he was at odds with Tyler Perry. “You’re getting it fvcked up, if you think me and Tyler will be at odds at any point. He’s helping me, already going out of his way to aid my progress. So in the nicest way cut the s### !” he wrote last month after visiting Perry’s studios.  

50 Cent Says Tyler Perry Is “10 Years Ahead Of Everybody”

He also revealed how Perry is helping him retain “premium, super high quality” at a lower production cost.  

“His model is it. I’m not gonna lower the quality of the material that I’m producing, but I got to get into his deal structure,” he shared during a recent Instagram Live. “Now I’m moving into actually being able to provide production services. But If it’s not at my studio, I want it at Tyler’s.” 

Megan Thee Stallion Fans Slam Steve Harvey & Family Feud Producers Over “Feet” Question 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Megan Thee Stallion appeared on the season premiere of Celebrity Family Feud on ABC to raise money for charity. 

The Grammy Award winner and her family faced off against Ne-Yo and his relatives on the episode aired Tuesday evening (July 9). The duo and their family were raising money for survivors of domestic violence nonprofit group AVDA. 

While the show got off to a good start, with host Steve Harvey telling Megan his wife and daughters love her, viewers detected some shade from the first question. 

Megan and Ne-Yo went head-to-head to kick off the show. Harvey asked the pair to “name something you’ve done to your mate’s feet.” 

The “Hiss” hitmaker was first to the buzzer with the top-ranking answer, “massage.”

However, the question rubbed many viewers the wrong way, given Tory Lanez was convicted of shooting Megan Thee Stallion in the feet following a high-profile trial.  

Although Megan took the question in her stride, fans took to social media bashing Steve Harvey and Family Feud producers, accusing them of being messy. 

“The feet question for megan would’ve had me looking at them sideways fr,” one person tweeted.  

“B#### they on family feud asking Megan Questions about feet I cannot. This is messy,” shared another user. 

Meanwhile, Nicki Minaj stans shared cruel jibes about Megan Thee Stallion appearing on Family Feud despite losing both parents. 

“This doesn’t make no sense the show is called “Family Feud” what family Megan have ? I thought they are all 6 feet deep,” one person trolled.  

“How is Megan on there?? Is FAMILY feud,” another person asked.  

Eminem Shares First Look At “The Death Of Slim Shady” Album Tracklist 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Eminem is just days away from releasing his highly anticipated The Death of Slim Shady album, and he’s sharing the tracklist. 

The follow-up to official follow-up to 2020’s Music to be Murdered By will arrive on Friday (July 12). The diamond-selling rapper shared the macabre cover art on Tuesday (July 9), featuring Slim Shady’s head peering out of a partially unzipped body bag.  

The tracklist was announced hours later on Apple Music, featuring 20 titles, but revealed none of Em’s collaborators except for Babytron and Big Sean, who appear on the previously released “Tobey.” 

The Death Of Slim Shady Tracklist

The Cole Bennett-directed visuals for the second single from The Death Of Slim Shady dropped earlier this week. In the “Tobey” video, Eminem dons a Jason Voorhees-style hockey mask and hacks up another version of himself with a chainsaw. 

Dr. Dre appears in the cameo-filled “Houdini” visuals but could return on “Guilty Conscience 2.” Earlier this year, during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Dre revealed he has multiple songs on the album. 

“Eminem is working on his own album, which is coming out this year,” he shared. “I actually talked to him and he said it was okay for me to make that announcement right here on this show. So he has an album coming out, I’ve got songs on it and it’s fire.” 

Meanwhile, another frequent collaborator may appear with Eminem on The Death Of Slim Shady. Singer/songwriter Skylar Grey recently previewed a new graphic tee with a line from “Love The Way You Lie.” 

She posted a teaser of the tee with more blurred-out lyrics, with Eminem’s “Tobey” playing in the background. Gray revealed the lyrics are from an unleased song that drops on Friday, the same day as Em’s upcoming album. 

André 3000 Tells Sexyy Red To Use Critics As “Fuel,” Talks UGK & More With LeBron James

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: News

André 3000 has given Sexyy Red advice on how to utilize all of the negative criticism she is receiving from fans and music industry professionals alike.

However, one of the most popular teasers from the segment appears to be a heartwarming exchange between the Outkast member and his St. Louis rap counterpart. As Sexyy began venting her frustrations with the double standard she feels she is held to when considering her success, Andre 3000 offers the “U My Everything” rapper a silver lining to the dark clouds of negativity hanging overhead.

“They still don’t believe in me, so I just be like, I’m going to just show y’all,” Sexyy Red said.

“And like he said, they don’t be understanding. We really came from nothing. And then we be making a big achievements. That’s something for us. And then they just be like, you ain’t doing nothing. But for us it’s like, ain’t nobody doing this,” she added.

André 3000 interjected, “But use it as fuel,” Andre 3000 said.

“Fuel. Use it for fuel. Hater fuel man. It’s the best s###. It’s free energy,” he said.

As the continued, both expressed their comfortability playing the role of the underdog.

“I like when they talk about me I ain’t gone lie,” she said, to which he added, “S### free energy because that made me go, that made me go in.”

André concluded, “I love when somebody doubts you,” before Sexyy Red added, “Because I’m now finna show you something.”

“Yeah,” he exclaimed in agreement.

Nipsey Hussle’s Clothing Brand Announces “Marathon Burger” To Rick Ross’ Delight

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: News

The Marathon Clothing brand recently dropped a bombshell on Instagram after hinting at the grand opening of a burger joint poised to carry forward the indomitable legacy of late Los Angeles rapper Nipsey Hussle.

In a pair of posts shared via the official Instagram account for the clothing brand, digital renderings of the purported storefront and branded packaging product designs teased the first location of Marathon Burger would be opening “soon.”

In an Instagram post AllHipHop shared covering the news of the grand opening, Maybach Music Group mogul and Nipsey’s frequent collaborator Rick Ross shared his excitement for the culinary center by adding a fire emoji in the comments section.

Though details remain scarce, speculation is rife about the exact location of this much-anticipated eatery. It’s worth noting, though, that there was a restaurant in Compton for decades called Marathon Burger, which was located at the 600 block of Compton Boulevard, that closed nearly two years ago without warning. Many believe Marathon Burger will find its home in the heart of South Central Los Angeles, possibly at the recently renovated “Nipsey Hussle Square” on Crenshaw Boulevard.

The plaza, now a significant landmark, was purchased by Nipsey Hussle’s family and has undergone extensive renovations to honor the late rapper. Fans can’t help but imagine Marathon Burger nestled in this historic spot, serving up delicious bites while paying tribute to Nipsey Hussle’s enduring influence on the community. This would be a fitting homage to Nipsey, who once said, “It’s about giving back to the people and the neighborhood that raised you.”

Since Nipsey Hussle’s tragic shooting death on March 31, 2019, the Marathon Clothing brand has soared to new heights, turning grief into growth. The brand’s landmark deal with Puma is a testament to Nipsey Hussle’s vision and entrepreneurial spirit, resulting in a line of apparel that reflects his unique style and ethos. This partnership has only expanded the brand’s reach and impact, ensuring Nipsey’s legacy continues to inspire.

Check out the renderings of the forthcoming burger spot above.

Married Kanye West Accused Of Sending Model Inappropriate Messages

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

Kanye West is in the headlines again after influencer Mikaela Lafuente claimed that he sent her “inappropriate” messages.

Lafuente, 22, alleges that the 47-year-old rapper reached out on Instagram, inviting her to “hang out” and listen to his latest album.

The messages, sent in March, initially seemed suspect to Lafuente, who thought they might be from a fake account.

“It was funny. Bryce and I were in Vegas when I saw Kanye West’s message in my Instagram DMs,” she shared with the DailyMail, referring to her boyfriend.

“At first, I didn’t believe it and assumed it was a fake account, but it wasn’t. The message was pretty odd as I had never spoken to him or seen him in person before.”

West’s first message contained a casual “Back in Cali” followed by an invitation to get together.

Uncomfortable with the proposition, Lafuente declined the offer, citing his marital status and their significant age gap.

“I don’t think it’s acceptable to be messaging other women when you’re married. It’s not acceptable and it’s something I’d stand behind forever,” Lafuente stated.

She expressed concern that others might not refuse such advances, adding, “If he texts other girls, I know I said no, but others might not. I do not support it. Maybe they (him and his wife) have an agreement and Bianca knows about it and is cool with it, but we will never know this.”

She emphasized her commitment to her relationship, saying, “I have a boyfriend I love dearly and love very much and he (Kanye) has a wife.” Notably, after her refusal, Kanye liked her rejection message and subsequently deleted his previous messages.

Kanye West has been married to Bianca Censori, 29, since December 2022.

Kodak Black Claims Child But Cuts Off The Mother Over Car Window Vandalism Incident

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: Rumors

Kodak Black was recently involved in a verbal confrontation with the mother of his child following a vandalism incident that occurred last month.

In case you missed it, Kodak’s baby momma gained significant attention on social media after vandalized his car and proceeded to post about it. The woman, in a fit of rage, broke out the windows of Kodak Black’s car and shared the aftermath of the destruction in a series of posts on her social media accounts. The vandalism reportedly took place on June 12, after one of Yak’s other baby mothers posted a video of him sleeping at her home.

Now, in a new video that has surfaced on social media, Kodak Black appears to face the woman for the first time since her outburst. However, instead of patching things up, it appears as though the “ZeZe” rapper is more interested in moving on as a co-parent.

“You just want f##k,” Kodak said to the woman after she confessed she had been celibate since having relations with him. “You don’t want to love or build nothing. You don’t want to love and build nothing bro. That’s crazy. It’s all right bro.”

As the woman continued to plead her case and lure Kodak in with physical affection, he continued to deflect her attempts.

“I’ve been there for that thinking—see how you talking right now? That’s how I fell for that s##t last time,” he said.

Kodak Black then accused the woman of being eclipsed by the mindset of the City Girls while also making it clear he had no reservations when it comes to the child they share—despite her behavior.

“I don’t regret this little n###a right here though,” he said pointing to the baby. “I don’t my regret this little n###a. Feel me—soon you thinking you straight and you vibing like, ‘oh this is a new person,’ here you go again on some stupid City Girl s##t. Some Ft. Lauderdale girl stupid ass s##t again.”

As the clip continued, Kodak Black went on to blast the woman for the window breaking incident, questioning how she even got access to his property in the first place before concluding, “you didn’t even have to do all that.”

While it is unclear whether Kodak Black patched things up with the mother of his child, it’s worth noting that his love life is messy right now, even without their tumultuous relationship in the mix. Yak was also reportedly engaged to rapper Mellow Rackz and bouncing back and forth between the mothers of his children throughout the engagement.

Meagan Good Justifies Dating Jonathan Majors: “I Have Peace In My Heart”

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Meagan Good discussed her relationship with Jonathan Majors on TODAY With Hoda & Jenna on Tuesday (July 9). The actress defended her decision to date Majors when asked if any of her friends advised her against it due to his domestic violence case.

“Every friend advised me, but at the end of the day, one thing I know is I can always look at myself in the mirror when I trust my spirit,” Good said. “When I trust God, when I ask God, and when I move to the beat of my own drum, I can always look and say, ‘OK, I’m proud of that.’ No matter [what] happens, I have peace in my heart and I have harmony in my heart. And it’s only when I do something based on someone else saying, ‘Well, I think you should do this,’ [that issues arise].”

She continued, “And I take everyone I love’s opinion and advice into account, for sure. But at the end of the day, I’m the one who has to live my life. And I’m the one who has to get to heaven one day, prayerfully, and give God an account of what I did. So, I want to be responsible for the choices I make. And also, I want to live the life I want to live.”

Good and Majors started dating after the latter was arrested for assaulting his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari in 2023. Majors was found guilty of misdemeanor assault and harassment. A judge sentenced him to probation and a 52-week domestic violence counseling program in April.

Marvel Studios fired Majors after he was convicted of assault and harassment. He portrayed Kang the Conqueror in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Majors secured his first acting role since his conviction when he was cast in the independent film Merciless in June. Martin Villeneuve, the brother of Dune filmmaker Denis Villeneuve, is directing Merciless.

Chlöe Bailey Uses Black Eyed Peas Reference To Combat Negative Criticism About Her Body

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: Rumors

Chlöe Bailey is using a combination of her quirky personality and a 2000s-era Black Eyed Peas hit to combat hot takes critics are making on social media about her body.

In a recent live stream she broadcasted ahead of her birthday, Bailey expounded on her fitness journey by directly addressing fan feedback she discovered while scrolling on social media. In particular, she targeted a tweet from a fan, who alleged she had gotten “too skinny” and wasn’t thick anymore as a result of the weight loss.

With a light-hearted yet snarky retort, Bailey shot down the critical tweet while also posing a fair warning to individuals who think it’s a good idea to make negative comments about her body under the guise of social media.

“I saw something that was on Twitter because y’all know I’d be stalking sometimes,” she said. “Y’all be careful what you say because I be seeing the shady s##t y’all be saying. But also I saw something that said, ‘Oh, I got worried Chloe got too skinny. She wouldn’t be thick anymore.'”

Bailey used a reference to the Black Eyed Peas’ 2005 hit “My Humps,” which appeared on the Monkey Business album to troll the Twitter (X) user.

“No, I still got my junk in my trunk,” she teased. “So that tweet made me laugh. Actually made me laugh because I’m trying to get, well, I did get snatched but more snatched than how I was, but I’m still thick.”

Bailey laughed a bit before saying, “OK guys, I’m going to go now. Bye. Love you” and ended the video by promoting her upcoming content from the BET Awards along with thanking fans for their birthday wishes.

Bailey similarly responded to criticism about her sex appeal earlier this year on social media after theories began being speculated that she was too goofy to act sexy.

“It’s not an act, honey,” she said. “But not everybody will have access to that. Women can be both. Women can be multi-faceted. Lady in the streets but a freak in the sheets.”

Ultimately, Bailey says her music, which she described as her “diary,” epitomizes who she is. “That’s where you’ll see a part of me y’all don’t have access to,” she explained. “It might be surprising.”

Young Thug’s Lawyer Seeks To Blow Up RICO Trial By Removing 2 Judges & Prosecutors

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Young Thug’s lawyer Brian Steel further complicated the rapper’s RICO trial in Georgia on Monday (July 8). According to court documents obtained by AllHipHop, Steel wanted Judge Rachel Krause to recuse herself from handling the defense’s bid for Judge Ural Glanville’s dismissal in the case.

Steel also sought the removal of two prosecutors. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution was the first to report on his supplemental motion.

Judge Krause was tasked with deciding if Judge Glanville must step down from the YSL RICO trial. Steel accused Glanville of aligning with prosecutors to coerce a witness to testify against Young Thug, whose real name is Jeffery Williams. Steel filed a motion seeking Glanville’s recusal. Glanville paused the trial until Krause ruled on the matter.

Steel questioned Krause’s impartiality in a supplemental motion. Young Thug’s lawyer noted Glanville contributed to Krause’s re-election campaign.

“This Motion also timely moves to recuse the Honorable Judge Krause based upon the fact that she sits on the Fulton County Superior Court Bench with Judge Glanville and that in April 2024, Judge Glanville contributed two thousand ($2,000.00) dollars to the Honorable Judge Krause’s re-election campaign,” Steel wrote. “Mr. Williams’ trial has been ongoing since January 4, 2023 and therefore includes April 2024.”

Steel believed Fulton County prosecutors Adriane Love and Simone Hylton should be removed if Glanville exits Young Thug’s trial. Steel claimed Glanville, Love and Hylton “prejudiced and tainted” the slow-moving trial by privately meeting with key witness Kenneth Copeland in June.

“Mr. Williams’ trial is Constitutionally broken based upon the unconscionable misconduct of Judge Glanville, lawyer Love and lawyer Hylton, all working together in an effort to convict Mr. Williams,” Steel argued. “The criminal justice system in Fulton County, in the State of Georgia and in America has been attacked by the conduct of these three (3) actors.”

Steel added, “This injustice must end, immediately, beginning with Judge Glanville removed and disqualified from Mr. Williams’ case. Thereafter, this Motion is also timely made for lawyer Love and lawyer Hylton to be removed and disqualified from Mr. Williams’ trial and the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office must be investigated for their improper conduct, if any, outside of the actions of lawyer Love and lawyer Hylton.”

Young Thug has remained in jail since his 2022 arrest. He maintains his innocence.

Angela Simmons Catches Hell For Posing In Bathtub Full Of Oreos

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Angela Simmons drew the ire of social media by appearing in a bathtub full of Oreos on Tuesday (July 9). Simmons posed with cookies to promote a collaboration between her Angela’s Cakes brand and restaurant chain Slutty Vegan.

“Fried Oreos anyone?” Simmons wrote on Instagram. “Soooooo excited for my official launch with @sluttyveganatl!!! Our @eatangelascakes Fried Oreos will be available at all Slutty Vegan locations beginning Friday, July 12th‼️”

A post shared by Angela Renee Simmons (@angelasimmons)

Social media users lampooned Simmons in the post’s comments and on X (formerly known as Twitter). They believed the promotional tactic was corny and ridiculous. Keke Palmer showed support for Simmons amid the negativity.

“The way these people are hating in your comments is something VICIOUS!” Palmer wrote. “I’m so blown back. Just know you doing EVERYTHING RIGHT. I have never seen people so pressed. Whew.”

Simmons elicited more online backlash a week after stoking controversy by bringing a gun-shaped purse to the 2024 BET Awards. She apologized in response to social media outrage over the purse.

“I want to address the recent incident involving the green purse I carried at the BET Awards,” she wrote. “When I chose the purse, I believed it was cute and unique and I made a poor decision in using it as an accessory to amplify my beauty. I deeply regret that this item, which symbolizes a gun, was inappropriate and insensitive, especially given my personal and community experiences with gun violence.”

She added, “I understand the pain and hurt this has caused, especially to those who have been directly impacted by gun violence. For my entire life, I have exemplified peace, unification and the resolution of gun violence in America … By carrying this purse, I did not intend to promote gun violence in any way. It was a mistake that does not define who I am or my commitment to ending gun violence. To anyone who was hurt or offended by my actions, I offer my deepest apologies.”

Although this is Fox’s first public declaration as a lesbian, she has spoken openly about her sexuality in the past.

In 2022, during an interview with Ziwe, she revealed her curiosity about exploring relationships with women.

“I, like, have been thinking about it a lot recently. Because I do think maybe I have some, you know – I have a gay bone and I need to explore that a little bit more. Like maybe my ex-boyfriends weren’t wrong when they were calling me a lesbian and complaining that I never wanted to have sex with them,” she shared.

Fox also made headlines when she revealed she has been celibate for two years.

She mentioned that intimacy was not a focal point during her relationship with Kanye West in January 2022.

“There, like, wasn’t any” sex during their time together, she explained to the New York Times. “It wasn’t really about that.”

Bhad Bhabie “Confused” By Reaction To Her Post About Boyfriend Abusing Her

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Bhad Bhabie clarified past comments regarding Le Vaughn, the father of her child, after accusing him of domestic violence. The internet personality/rapper claimed she never said she was staying with him despite his abuse on Tuesday (July 9).

“I wasn’t gonna speak on this but who said I was staying?” she wrote in response to an Instagram user calling on 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.”

Bhad Bhabie previously shared footage of Le Vaughn attacking her and photos of her injured eye on Instagram Stories. Fans assumed she might stay with Le Vaughn because she said leaving him was “the easy way out” and “better said than done” in a post on Sunday (July 7).

“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.”

She continued, “Right now there’s no room for mistakes. And he knows that. Who ever says they are there for me will b supportive of me no matter what I choose to do. Y’all know I give a mf hell but there’s no excuse for that at all what so ever. My point in sharing this wasn’t to attack him, it was for him to see what he does is wrong and too take accountability and make a REAL CHANGE.”

Earlier this year, Bhad Bhabie gave birth to her first child with Le Vaughn. They named their daughter Kali Love.

Cassie Ventura’s Lawyer Reacts To Diddy’s Recent White Water Rafting Trip 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Diddy’s recent river rafting trip has drawn a response from Cassie Ventura’s lawyer. 

Over the recent holiday weekend, the fallen mogul was spotted white water rafting at Snake River, Wyoming. He was captured on video enjoying the rough ride alongside a three-person crew. 

The footage incensed Ventura’s lawyer, Douglas Wigdor. He told TMZ, “I don’t think white water rafting will prepare him for the choppy waters that lie ahead.” 

After his trip, Diddy reappeared on Instagram after scrubbing his page. He posted a video of him climbing aboard his private jet while declaring, there’s “No place like home.” 

Diddy’s river rafting excursion came on the heels of a new lawsuit from former adult film star Adria English. She accused him of grooming her into sex trafficking and claimed she was coerced into having sex with guests at his parties.  

English also alleged her boyfriend and another model were told they needed to perform oral sex on Diddy to land a Sean John modeling gig.  

Diddy’s Recent Trip “Motivated” Alleged Victim “To Ensure Justice Prevails”

English’s attorney, Ariel Mitchell-Kidd, said her client is “even more motivated to ensure justice prevails,” after seeing Diddy “seemingly enjoying life despite all the atrocities he has caused and has been accused of by countless individuals over decades.”  

She noted English and Diddy’s other accusers are fighting “with limited resources” “after being marginalized, abused and exploited by a billionaire.” 

Mitchell-Kidd also referenced reports Diddy is selling his California Mansion. “We are not moved by Defendant Combs’ recent attempt at selling his California home or attempt to portray himself as a man of scarcity by needing to liquidate assets,” she said. “For decades, Defendant Combs has touted himself as an ultra-successful billionaire of multiple businesses.”  

In addition to the mounting lawsuits, Diddy is reportedly the subject of an ongoing criminal investigation in New York. His lawyer is “confident” he will beat English’s “and other baseless claims in court.”
