Cam’ron Says He Thinks Kanye West Is Unhappy While Roasting Him Over His Black KKK Uniform

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: Rumors

Cam’ron has shared his theory on what could be at the root of Kanye West’s recent rants while also taking the embroiled rapper and producer to task over his racially-offensive wardrobe choices.

The Dipset lyricist didn’t hold back while addressing Kanye West dissing his peers such as JAY-Z, Kendrick Lamar and more during a recent episode of his You’re Welcome Network podcast.

Per usual, Cam opted to utilize a longwinded approach to laying out his belief that Kanye has been as brazenly outspoken as he is now throughout his entire career.

“Kanye probably got the most wildest quotables,” Cam said early in the episode, pointing to Ye’s infamous post-Hurricane Katrina moment. “From the time he said, ‘I don’t think George Bush likes black people.’ It just was on CNN, so it ain’t look crazy. He’s been wildin’ for years.”

Cam added that the madness isn’t new—it’s just more visible now.

“I think it just looks worse because of the platforms that he on,” he said. “His outlets are getting smaller and smaller… people don’t want to give him the outlet for him to be on.”

As an examle, Cam brought up Kanye’s recent move to sit down with DJ Akademiks, suggesting it was more about desperation than choice.

“If Kanye could still be on these outlets or national television, he would never reach out to Akademics… he has to go where he can be seen, and it’s getting more quiet,” he said.

However, what really rubbed Cam the wrong way was Kanye’s behavior before and after the cameras rolled. Further describing his issue with Kanye’s Akademiks interview, he painted a picture of a calculated performance.

“But Akademics film driving up to the hotel, coming in the hotel room where Kanye doesn’t have on the KKK s###,” he said. “He’s talking normally… Then when the cameras are rolling, he turns into Ye. Then when the interview’s over, he goes back to, ‘Hey man, we got to catch a flight.’”

He added, “I was disgusted by him.”

But things took an even darker turn when Cam commented on Kanye going after JAY-Z’s children in a Twitter rant last month.

“What the f### are you talking about this man’s kids for? It makes no sense,” he said in part. “He rants about having the most money and everything else. But to me, as much money as he may or may not have, he doesn’t look like a happy person in life.”

Cam also questioned Kanye’s repeated claims about being number one, especially when taking shots at Kendrick Lamar. “Now you’re dissing Kendrick Lamar, saying ‘he ain’t number one, I’m number one.’ Yeah, you got to work.”

Wack 100 Accuses Ray Jay Of Stealing His Car & Alleges He’s Losing His Mind

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: Rumors

Wack 100 has come forward with some troubling allegations about Ray J while attempting to raise alarm about the state of his mental health.

On Tuesday (April 8), the Cash Money West music executive went off on a rant during a livestream and claimed Ray J had committed grand theft auto after taking off in one of his vehicles. In the process of getting viewers up to speed on the situation, Wack 100 also accused Ray J of doing the dash across state lines.

“Ray J stole my vehicle,” Wack 100 said in part. “I don’t know what’s going on. I’m getting worried about it. He stole my vehicle, bro. Two and a half days ago, I checked the tracker and he cleared on it in Florida somewhere.”

Wack 100 then issued a call-to-action to his viewers in an attempt to get Ray J’s attention.

“Tag him,” he said. “Yeah, he ain’t picking up. Willie [Ray J], come on, bro.”

Wack 100 went on to express his anxiety over the matter, seemingly appealing to Ray J and assuring him he’s not even necessarily worried about the vehicle at this point.

“Listen, man, like, listen, I don’t give a f### about the car,” he said. “I’m concerned about you. You ain’t got to steal nothing as always, bro. But what is you on?”

He further stressed the importance of securing the automobile, not because he’s particularly pressed for wheels, but due to the content that lie in the car.

“I need to like check, bro,” he said. “It’s a duffel bag in the trunk with all kind of drives and all kind of s### in it. Well, can you please secure them, please?”

Wack 100 concluded the video pleading with Ray J to reach out to him, both expressing his love for him while also alleging his belief that the “One Wish” singer could be suffering from some kind of mental break.

“Little Willie, like, bro, what did you want?” he questioned rhetorically. “You tripping, my n####, like you’ve been losing your mind. Ray J, tap in, my n####. You see me calling like this s### don’t make no sense at all. G######, my n####. I love you, little bro, but you got me hot right now on real. You got me on fire.”

Ray J and Wack 100 have been at odds for a few years now, due to his ex-manager peddling his claims that he has another version of the infamous adult tape he created with his ex-girlfriend, Kim Kardashian. In September 2021 Ray J has slammed Wack 100 for bringing up the sex tape drama over claims he has more explicit footage.

Responding to the reports via Instagram, Ray writes: “This ain’t cool – I been staying off the Raydar (sic) – Just staying focused and being humble and thankful for all the blessings I’m receiving. How can I show growth and maturity if this kinda of stuff keeps happening? I’m a father now, and my job is to be a great parent and put them (kids) first. This is not the message I want to send out – smh (shaking my head).”

BigXthaPlug Talks Rap Bars & Storytelling At J. Cole’s Dreamville Festival

By: Chuck Creekmur (@ChuckCreekmur)Category: Features

Dallas rapper BigXthaPlug continues a proud tradition of Texas lyricists who treat emceeing like the sacred craft that it is. Known for its bar-heavy legends, the Lone Star State has always emphasized lyrical dexterity. And BigXthaPlug has proved he belongs in that lineage.

Recently, BigXthaPlug hit the stage at Dreamville Festival in Raleigh, North Carolina, where he delivered a performance that instantly separated him from the pack. In front of thousands, he commanded the stage with undeniable presence and energy.

Unlike numerous others, BigXthaPlug didn’t rely on vocal backing tracks, hype men or auto-tune. Instead, he spit every bar live, raw, clear and crisp. His breath control was especially impressive, a feat considering his large frame. He moved across the stage with confidence and the thousands watching appreciated it.

Heck, I appreciated it. Backstage, I was able to hear just about every word and feel the energy. I could not pass up the chance to ask him about Hip-Hop.

Jigsaw: I gotta ask you—because you really spit real lyrics. You can actually rap rap. I noticed you weren’t rapping over your vocals, and there was no auto-tune. That’s impressive. Texas has always had serious spitters. Can you talk about coming out of that legacy?

BigXthaPlug: For sure. I think it just shows that the South breeds the best of the best. I mean, from Texas to everywhere around it—Louisiana, Memphis—the whole Southern region is crazy when it comes to music. It’s a different vibe on our end, for sure. We take this seriously. It’s in us.

@chuckcreekmur

I got a sec to ask #bxthaplug a question at #dreamvillefest – I like this dude. He can rap rap.

♬ original sound – Chuck Jigsaw Creekmur

I’ve had a long-standing affinity for Texas Hip-Hop.

The second-largest American state has long been a powerhouse for lyricism in Hip-Hop, with artists who blend gritty storytelling, technical skill, and cultural authenticity. From Scarface, whose introspective bars made him a legend far beyond Houston, to The D.O.C., a Dallas native whose pen helped shape the early West Coast sound, the state has consistently produced top-tier wordsmiths.

In a completely separate interview, EARTHGANG made it clear that BX was one of their favorites, particularly for his storytelling.

Quierra Luck: I asked EARTHGANG who they thought was the best storyteller in Hip-Hop right now, and they named BigXthaPlug. They specifically mentioned your song “2AM” and said it’s one of the best rap songs they’ve ever heard. What does that mean to you—and what are your thoughts on storytelling in rap?

BigXthaPlug: Man, that’s crazy to hear. Growing up, my favorite subject in school was history—but I also always passed those English and writing exams, too. I guess that means I was either a good liar or just good at creating stories! [laughs] For real, though, I’ve always had the ability to build a story—whether I’ve got time to plan it or I’m just freestyling it on the spot. I’ve definitely gotten away with a few wild ones, let’s just say that. Storytelling is a big part of who I am as an artist.

Houston gave rise to underground icons like K-Rino, Z-Ro, Scarface and Devin the Dude, each known to bring bars and stories to the table. Meanwhile, Dallas gave us Big Tuck, Bobby Sessions and Tum Tum. Newer voices like Tobe Nwigwe and BX are pushing the boundaries with depth and visuals, continuing the tradition for a new generation. BigXthaPlug isn’t just about repping Texas, he’s taking it to the world’s stage. Whether he knows it or not, he honors the culture where bars still matter.

This was not his first time talking to us and, hopefully, not the last. BigXthaPlug is a real one through and through.

Stay tuned.

EXCLUSIVE: Diddy’s Son Justin & Cuba Gooding Jr. In Hiding; Lil Rod Turns To NY, LA Times To Find Them

By: Grouchy Greg Watkins (@GrouchyGreg)Category: News

Justin Combs and Cuba Gooding Jr. are accused of ducking service in a high-profile federal lawsuit tied to Sean “Diddy” Combs, leading plaintiff Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones Jr. to seek court approval to notify them through newspaper ads in two of the nation’s largest publications.

Jones, a music producer, filed a sweeping civil suit against Diddy in February of 2024, alleging sex trafficking, drug distribution, and other serious misconduct.

The complaint, amended in March, added Gooding Jr. and Justin Combs as co-defendants, accusing them of playing roles in the alleged abuse and cover-up.

Gooding Jr. is accused of groping Jones on a yacht rented by Diddy in January 2023. According to the lawsuit, Diddy left Jones alone with the actor, who allegedly assaulted him without consent.

Justin Combs, Diddy’s eldest son, is named for allegedly helping facilitate some of the activities described in the complaint.

Despite multiple attempts to serve both men at known addresses in California and Florida, Jones’ legal team says they’ve hit a wall.

Process servers tried to reach Gooding Jr. at three separate California addresses. At one location, building staff confirmed he no longer had representation there. At another, neighbors said they’d never seen him.

A third address was outdated, with neighbors reporting he moved out years ago. A skip-trace investigation also failed to turn up a current address.

Justin Combs has also proven elusive.

Process servers were blocked by security at a gated Los Angeles apartment complex. At a Beverly Hills address, they were told he had moved with no forwarding information.

In Miami Beach, guards and locked gates thwarted attempts to serve him at two Star Island properties.

Even a process server who successfully served Christian Combs—Justin’s brother—at the same compound couldn’t reach Justin.

Jones’s legal team argues that both men are intentionally avoiding service, noting that Gooding Jr. even acknowledged the lawsuit publicly on a podcast but has refused to engage with the legal process.

With traditional methods exhausted, Jones is asking the court to allow service by publication under New York law, which permits alternative service when conventional efforts have failed.

His attorneys argue that publishing notices in the New York Times and Los Angeles Times is a reasonable way to reach both men, given their public profiles and ties to New York and California.

Without court approval for this method, Jones says he’ll be unfairly blocked from moving forward with serious claims involving sexual assault and trafficking.

A judge has yet to rule on the motion for service by publication.

DDG Denies Rumor Young Thug Snubbed Him During His Visit To Marathon Burger

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: Rumors

DDG is pushing back on the rumors surrounding his chance encounter with Young Thug during one of his recent live streams.

To keep a long story short, DDG addressed his stream from last month during which he “worked” a shift cooking burgers at the newly opened Marathon Burger restaurant owned and operated by the estate of the late Nipsey Hussle and his brother Blacc Sam.

In particular, he honed in on the growing narrative online that Young Thug, who made a brief appearance during DDG’s stream at the burger joint, ignored him while greeting Blacc Sam. As he began to break down the situation, he started off by denying there is any sort of animosity between the two of them.

“I ain’t got no problem with Thug,” DDG said. “I don’t think he got a problem with me. The n#### probably didn’t even know it was me. I have a haircut.”

DDG then went on to claim that he actually dapped Thug up of camera before the stream started, which ended up leading him to go off on tangental rant about handshake etiquette within the Black community.

“But I dapped him up when I came in,” he said. “Now you don’t double dap a n####. That’s glazing. You don’t double dap a n####.”

DDG further went into detail on how the incident went down, adding his thoughts on fans seemingly sensationalizing the encounter.

“I walk through that muthafucka, boom,” he said reenacting the moment. “I’m like cool. ‘What up?’ It’s easy you feel me I go to do my stream. I’m going to do my stream because I’m there to cook burgers n####. That’s what I’m there for. Young thug leave, right, he come back in to dap up Blacc Sam You n##### want me to intercept a handshake?”

He then proceeded to scold his viewers for suggesting there was smoke in the first place without actually knowing the contect.

“You n##### probably would have double dapped could y’all be fanned out,” he said. “They was just spinning that s### that’s why I didn’t even talk about it. I’m like bro y’all come up with new s### every g###### day, bro. The f### you want me to do?”

However, multiple theories circulating on social media suggest there could actually be something there when it comes to beef between DDG and Young Thug. In a clip from his recent stream, DJ Akademiks alleged the reason Young Thug didn’t shake DDG’s hand was because he was upset that the Michigan native associated with Gunna while he was incarcerated during the YSL RICO trial.

Ice Cube Will Finally Get His Own Star On Hollywood Walk Of Fame

By: Kyle EusticeCategory: News

Ice Cube will receive his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame Tuesday (April 15) at 11 a.m. PT. He’ll join other pioneering Hip-Hop artists like Ice-T, Cypress Hill, Snoop Dogg, Salt N’ Pepa and Queen Latifah.

The ceremony takes place at the TCL Chinese Theatre Forecourt on Hollywood Boulevard. Cube is expected to make a “major announcement” during the event, per the press release.

Considering Cube has been blazing trails since the 1980s, it’s surprising he doesn’t have a star already. But over the last few decades, his rise to fame has been meteoric. He’s starred in several hit films, including the beloved Friday franchise, which will finally see another installment in the near future.

Although Cube has been talking about it for years, New Line President/CCO Richard Brener recently confirmed the news to The Hollywood Reporter, “We are making another Friday. We just closed a deal with Ice Cube to write and star. It’s going to be called Last Friday.”

Ice Cube has starred in all three Friday films: Friday (1995), Next Friday (2000) and the aforementioned Friday After Next. He also co-wrote the first entry with DJ Pooh and has solo screenplay credits on the two sequels. All of them were developed by New Line, which was run by Mike De Luca at the time of the original trilogy’s production. Warner Bros. later purchased New Line, giving Warner Bros. control of the franchise rights.

Ice Cube teased the project in 2019 during an appearance on ESPN’s The Jump, where he provided a few details and was hoping for a 2020 release.

“Yeah, we pushing for it,” he said at the time. “We finished the script, we are getting notes from the studio and it’s going back and forth. Get into pre-production and start hiring. It would be nice for this to come out on the 25th anniversary. That would be kinda … good.”

But it just wasn’t in the cards. Multiple characters from the original film have since died, making it even more of a challenge. John Witherspoon, who played “Pops,”died in 2019 after suffering a heart attack, Anthony Johnson, who played “Ezal,” died in 2021 due to complications from alcohol abuse, and Tommy “Tiny” Lister, who played the hard but lovable Deebo, died in 2020 from COVID-19.

Ice Cube, who released the Man Down album last year, has been famous for most of his life. In a December 2024 interview with AllHipHop, he spoke about what he truly thinks of fame.

“I appreciate fame,” he said matter-of-factly. “It’s It’s been very good to me. It’s provided me with a lifestyle that I could have never dreamed of. And I appreciate my fans because they’re the reason. And so, you know, I look at my fans as my little army. They the folks that’s always supported my projects. And sometimes you might like my projects. Sometimes you might love it. Sometimes it might not be your cup of tea. But they always give me another look and another chance to give them something cool, so I appreciate that.”

Cube has been consistently supportive of his fellow Hip-Hop legends. In fact, he attended Ice-T’s star ceremony in 2023. Public Enemy’s Chuck D, Russell Simmons, Mike Epps and Law & Order: SUV actress Mariska Hargitay and creator Dick Wolf were also among the many on deck. Peep the photo below.

Three Moments Kanye West Believes Got Him “Blocked” From Super Bowl Stage

By: London JennnCategory: News

Kanye West is blaming his absence from the Super Bowl halftime stage on three headline-making moments he says got him blacklisted from the NFL’s biggest night.

In a tweet posted Monday night (April 7), West wrote, “I never was allowed to do the Super Bowl because of 3 moments.”

West listed them, citing his remarks about George Bush, his stage-stealing MTV antics and his support of the MAGA movement and Donald Trump.

“How it feel to be the best living and blocked from the main stage because of being ahead of my time,” West added. “(And I mean all of this before I went full Nazi of course.)”

A post shared by HOLLYWOOD UNLOCKED (@hollywoodunlocked)

The rapper referenced his 2005 outburst during a live telethon where he declared, “George Bush doesn’t care about Black people,” criticizing the federal response to Hurricane Katrina.

He also pointed to the infamous 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, where he stormed the stage during Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech and said, “Yo Taylor, I’m really happy for you, I’m a let you finish, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time.”

The third moment West cited was his public embrace of Donald Trump in 2018. The controversal rapper faced wide backlash after he was photographed wearing a red “Make America Great Again” hat.

Kanye West Eyes Up 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show

Despite his claim of being shut out, West previously insisted he would headline the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show, though no official confirmation has been made by the NFL or its broadcast partners.

That declaration came amid a string of controversies, including antisemitic remarks, praise for Adolf Hitler, and merchandise featuring hate symbols.

Additionally, Kanye West aired a 15-second commercial during the 2025 Super Bowl promoting Yeezy apparel but later replaced the website’s merchandise with a s#######-emblazoned T-shirt.

Meanwhile, West’s upcoming album, WW3, includes track titles and lyrics that have been widely condemned for offensive content.

Boosie Badazz Denies Any Wrongdoing In First Verbal Statement Since Car Accident

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: News

Boosie Badazz has broken his silence regarding the viral footage circulating from a car accident he was allegedly involved in earlier this week.

On Tuesday (April 8), the Baton Rouge rap veteran shared a video message addressing the clip of himself and a few of his associates that was taken at the scene of what appeared to be a bad car accident.

In the message, which quickly spread across multiple social media platforms, Boosie not only attempted to absolve himself of any blame in the incident, he quickly pointed the finger at his acquaintances and pointed to a pattern.

“Fresh out the hospital,” Boosie Badazz said. “No I ain’t wreck no f###### car. I don’t never wreck no car. Stupid ass n##### wreck my cars. My fourth car in six months I ain’t never wreck s###.”

Despite being visibly distraught over the incident, Boosie went on to reveal that he’s already in the process of moving past the accident.

”It is what it is, though, I’m headed to buy me two more right now,” he said.

While Boosie Badazz didn’t speak directly on the injuries that he, or any of his associates sustained during the accident, he did admit to being a bit shaken up in a Facebook status he shared on the evening of the accident on April 7.

”I’M GOOD. BANGED UP. BUT GOOD GOD GOT ME,” he wrote in the status.

On the contrary, a woman by the name of Kela Hicks shared a Facebook status contradicting Boosie’s claims, alleging that his car was at fault and caused he loved one a great deal of harm.

“Damnnnnnnnnnn Boosie almost killed my homeboy man damn he ran straight through the f###### light doing about 100 slow that s### down,” Hicks wrote in the post.

According to reports, the multi car wreck occurred in Atlanta in the middle of the intersection on South Fulton Parkway. Based on the video, it appears as though Boosie Bad Azz was in a 2025 BMW i7 sedan at the time of the crash. Based on MSRP data, the retail value of the vehicle starts around $105,000.

Rihanna Praises Kai Cenat & Streamer Can’t Contain Himself

By: London JennnCategory: News

Kai Cenat lit up social media after Rihanna personally praised his generous gesture during a livestream where he bought pizza for children and melted hearts in the process.

The Grammy-winning mogul slid into Cenat’s DMs with a message that instantly sent the Twitch star into celebration mode. 

“Kaaaaiii I love this!” Rihanna wrote, reacting to a resurfaced clip of Cenat treating a group of kids at a pizza place. 

She added, “I know you do this all the time, but the kidsss! And they genuinely love you! Great job all around man.”

Cenat, clearly stunned, paused his broadcast and blasted Rihanna’s#### “Diamonds” while dancing on camera, thrilled by the unexpected shoutout.

The video that caught Rihanna’s attention originally happened last year but recently made the rounds again online. 

In it, Cenat is seen interacting with two young children at a pizza place, giving them high fives and telling the adult with them that he’d cover their entire order. “Get whatever y’all want,” he said.

@clipmuseumm W Kai always being kind to the kids❤️🍕 @Kai Cenat #pizza #gift #wholesome #hopecore #core #kaicenat #livestream #live #clip #mafiathon2 #fyp #reels ♬ original sound – ClipMuseum 🏛

The Bronx-born content creator has built a massive following since launching his YouTube channel in 2018 with prank and challenge videos. By 2021, he shifted to Twitch, where his mix of gaming, reactions and high-energy interactions helped him stand out in a crowded field.

Cenat’s streams have become a destination for celebrity appearances. He’s hosted Hip-Hop heavyweights like Offset, Chris Brown, Snoop Dogg, Lil Baby and Nicki Minaj.

Offset, in particular, shared how much he appreciated his time with Cenat during a 24-hour stream in September 2023. 

“I haven’t had fun like this in life for a long time, bro. I needed that in my life, been so serious for so long,” Offset texted him afterward. He also thanked Cenat for his hospitality, calling the experience “refreshing” and saying Kai and his crew felt “like brothers.”

Kai Cenat Racks Up Streaming Accolades

In November 2023, Cenat broke Twitch records by becoming the most-subscribed streamer ever, pulling in more than 340,000 paid subscribers during his month-long “Mafiathon.”

His accolades include back-to-back “Streamer of the Year” wins at the Streamy Awards in 2022 and 2023. Rolling Stone named him one of the “20 Most Influential Creators” last year, and he landed at No. 44 on Forbes’ Top Creators list.

Despite his success, Cenat has faced controversy. A PlayStation giveaway he hosted in Union Square Park in August 2023 spiraled out of control, resulting in injuries and possible legal fallout for allegedly inciting a riot.

Still, moments like Rihanna’s message show the kind of impact Kai Cenat continues to have beyond gaming and content creation.

Damon Wayans Sr. Confesses He Dated His Nephew’s Ex

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

Damon Wayans Sr. has confirmed he once dated his nephew’s ex-girlfriend.

The 64-year-old comedian and actor confirmed the long-rumored relationship while chatting with “Club Shay Shay” host Shannon Sharpe, who jokingly asked if he had ever “done the Jackson 5?”—a nod to Jermaine Jackson marrying his brother Randy’s former partner.

“I was in love with her, that’s the thing,” Wayans said, addressing the speculation head-on.

Wayans explained the romance began roughly two years after his 2000 divorce from Lisa Thorner.

He claimed he hadn’t realized the woman had previously dated his nephew until he was already emotionally invested.

“I got divorced and I was by myself for two years,” he said. “And then, I saw her (his nephew’s ex-partner) and I was just like, ‘Oh my God. I’m in love.’ And then, I found out my nephew had dated (her).”

He clarified that his nephew, whose name he didn’t mention, wasn’t serious about the woman, which made the situation easier to navigate.

“He and her were not in love,” Wayans said, adding that the dating scene in California didn’t leave many options.

“Small dating pool,” Damon Wayans said.

Before pursuing the relationship, Wayans said he asked his nephew for his blessing.

“I’m like, you know, ‘What’s up with that?’ and he’s like, ‘That’s you.’ And I’m like, ‘O.K., pass the Courvoisier, let’s go!’ And I went ahead, and I fell in love and it was O.K.,” he recalled. “Family gatherings is awkward.”

Wayans currently stars alongside his son Damon Wayans Jr. in the CBS sitcom Poppa’s House.

Soulja Boy Accused Of Wearing Fake Glasses To Sway Jury

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

Soulja Boy faced explosive allegations in a California courtroom where his accuser’s attorney claimed the rapper disguised himself.

He was accused of wearing “fake glasses” and a suit to manipulate the jury during a high-stakes civil rape trial.

The woman referred to as Jane Doe, is seeking $73.6 million in damages for what her legal team described as repeated sexual assaults and physical abuse during her employment as Soulja Boy’s personal assistant between 2019 and 2020.

During closing arguments, Doe wept as her attorney described the alleged trauma she endured while working for the Hip-Hop artist.

A post shared by Soulja Boy (Draco) (@souljaboy)

“He was dressed in nerd cosplay,” her lawyer told jurors, pointing to Soulja Boy’s courtroom attire. “It was an act, a four-week act with glasses and a suit.” The attorney emphasized that Way had admitted under cross-examination that the eyeglasses he wore had no prescription lenses.

Doe’s lawsuit claims the abuse began in February 2019 during a police raid at Soulja Boy’s Malibu Hills home and continued for over a year.

She said she was initially hired as a salaried assistant after meeting the rapper through a mutual acquaintance.

His legal team pushed back, portraying the lawsuit as a fabrication by a disgruntled ex-girlfriend seeking financial gain.

His attorney argued that the accusations were part of a “false story” designed to damage his reputation and extract money.

The jury is now tasked with weighing the testimony and evidence presented over the four-week trial.

A verdict has not yet been announced.

Cardi B Teases Lucrative Tour Amid Second Richest Female Rapper Rankings

By: London JennnCategory: Rumors

Cardi B has dropped an exciting hint about a high-earning tour after a report named her the second wealthiest female rapper ever with a net worth of $101.6 million.

On Monday (April 7), the Bronx-born rapper tweeted, “And when that tour hits,” followed by three money-themed emojis, signaling she’s ready to cash in on her next big move.

The tweet directly responded to a post citing CEO Today, which claimed Cardi’s fortune had soared past the nine-figure mark, placing her just behind Nicki Minaj, who takes the top spot among female Hip-Hop artists.

Cardi B Tour Talk Follows Sophomore Album Hype

The tour tease comes as Cardi continues to build anticipation for her long-delayed sophomore album, which she says will top her Grammy-winning debut, Invasion of Privacy.

“IOP is, of course, one of the best albums ever, but I really think my second album is beating it,” she told listeners during a recent Twitter Spaces chat. “I don’t know why. I just really believe so. Nah, let me not talk. I’m not tryna get jumped by you muthafuckas!”

She also gave a few hints about who might appear on the project, teasing, “The features on my album are really good. I don’t have a lot of features, but I’m working with artists, some that I have worked with before and some that I haven’t worked with before. And the ones that I have not worked with before, I feel like it’s gonna really, really surprise y’all.”

Cardi added, “It’s such a vibe. I’m 100 percent confident with this album. I just don’t think what I got is out there. I gave y’all some clues on my features, that’s it.”

The upcoming album has been in the works for years, with Cardi originally aiming for a 2024 release before pushing it back due to her third pregnancy. She now says it will arrive before the end of 2025.

In addition to music, Cardi is expanding her brand. She’s launching her first fashion line in partnership with Revolve Group, adding another business venture to her growing empire.

Young Thug Vows To Rap More Clearly After Fan’s Viral Tattoo Fail

By: London JennnCategory: News

Young Thug has pledged to enunciate his bars more clearly after a devoted listener permanently inked the wrong lyrics from his track “Digits” across his back.

The huge tattoo, which shows galloping horses beneath the phrase “Horses don’t stop they keep going,” was meant to honor a line from Thug’s 2016 song.

However, the actual lyric is “Hustlers don’t stop, they keep going.”

The mix-up caught Thug’s attention on Monday (April 7), prompting a blunt reaction on X.

“And that’s y I’m talking with more clarity UY SCUTI… dam bro…” he posted, referencing his rumored upcoming album, UY Scuti.

The moment quickly made the rounds online, with many pointing out the risks of tattooing lyrics without double-checking the source.

Thug’s mention of “UY SCUTI” fuels speculation about his next project. The phrase likely refers to the Atlanta rapper’s anticipated album, named after one of the largest known stars in the galaxy.

The Atlanta rapper recently wiped his Instagram clean and followed an account called @uscutiiiiii, which only features one post: a photo of him and Mariah the Scientist holding jerseys with “UY Scuti” printed on them.

He also held up a custom “UY Scuti” jersey courtside at a Miami Heat game last month, a move many interpreted as the beginning of his album rollout.

Producer Metro Boomin confirmed he’s working on the project, continuing his long-standing collaboration with Thug.

Meanwhile, Lil Baby revealed that he, Future and Thug are also teaming up on a joint album, an idea Thug originally pitched while behind bars.

The UY Scuti album is expected to arrive before Thug headlines the Les Ardentes Festival in Belgium on July 5, 2025.

Young Scooter Honored At Atlanta Funeral After Tragic Police Chase Death

By: London JennnCategory: News

Young Scooter was remembered by heartbroken loved ones at his Atlanta funeral on Monday (April 7), following his tragic death during a police chase sparked by a false 911 call.

Hundreds gathered at St. Philip AME Church to honor the late rapper, whose real name was Kenneth Edward Bailey. 

The service featured a symbolic release of white doves and a sea of mourners dressed in green, a color closely associated with Scooter. His son wore a custom chain in tribute to his father.

A public viewing was held at Donald Trimble Mortuary in Decatur, where community members paid their respects.

Scooter died on March 28, his 39th birthday, after suffering a severe leg wound while fleeing from Atlanta police. 

According to the Fulton County Medical Examiner, he sustained a deep puncture to his right thigh from a wooden fence, which caused fatal blood loss. The death was ruled accidental.

Police had responded to a 911 call reporting gunfire at a residence. When officers arrived, Scooter ran, clearing two fences before injuring himself on the third. 

Authorities confirmed no shots were fired during the incident. Officers attempted to save him at the scene before transporting him to Grady Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The emergency call that triggered the police response was later determined to be fake. Demetria Spence has been arrested and charged with transmitting a false public alarm.

Scooter will be laid to rest in his hometown of Walterboro, South Carolina.

Baka Not Nice Reveals Drake’s Response To Kendrick Lamar’s “Weird Case” Lyric

By: London JennnCategory: News

Baka Not Nice didn’t hold back when addressing Kendrick Lamar’s jab at his criminal past and his place in Drake’s OVO Sound crew.

The Toronto rapper, a longtime friend and collaborator of Drake, reacted to Lamar’s call out during a recent appearance on the “Hot Freestyle” podcast. Baka labeled the accusation “ludicrous” and revealed that Drake personally urged him to stay calm.

He responded to Kendrick Lamar’s lyric from “Not Like Us” — “Baka got a weird case, why is he around?” — which referenced Baka’s 2014 legal troubles and became an online meme.

“My first initial thing was to respond and respond quickly, very efficiently and very to the point,” Baka said during the interview.

“Because where I come from, that doesn’t happen. You can’t just call out a man and not have paperwork to back up your talks. That is ludicrous,” he continued. “Then to see, like a whole nation behind it and celebrating, like it’s a true story is unbelievable… I have a kid. Drake has a kid, you know what I mean. So making accusations like that are ridiculous and out of this world.”

Baka admitted he was overwhelmed with anger until Drake stepped in with a call that helped him cool off.

“He’s like, ‘Yo, I know what you’re feeling. I know you as an individual and I know how you get down, but I’m just letting you know, don’t listen to the noise cuz it’s noise. If you go back and look at all these people that are saying things or having anything to say, they’re not even actual real people. They’re like bots. So don’t let that bother you, bro.'”

Baka Not Nice Pleaded Guilty To Assault In 2015

Kendrick Lamar’s lyric refers to Baka’s 2014 arrest on charges including human trafficking, assault and uttering death threats. 

He was accused of forcing a 22-year-old woman — his then on-and-off girlfriend — into prostitution. The woman also alleged Baka assaulted her during an argument. She claims he pushed her to the floor after she scolded him for passing out drunk while food burned in the oven.

The most serious charges were dropped after the woman refused to testify. In 2015, Baka pleaded guilty to assault and was sentenced to six months in jail, though he didn’t serve additional time due to already spending ten months in pre-trial custody. 

The Crown attorney confirmed the woman was not pressured into silence and had since cut ties with Baka and relocated.

Drake publicly welcomed Baka home in April 2015 and later signed him to OVO Sound in 2017.

By: London JennnCategory: News

Boosie Badazz was caught in a multi-vehicle car crash Monday (April 7) on Interstate 95 in Georgia that left multiple people hurt and emergency responders scrambling, but the rapper says he’s walking away with only bruises.

The accident reportedly happened near exit 67 in McIntosh County, roughly 35 miles south of Savannah. Eyewitnesses at the scene claimed one of the vehicles involved ran a red light at high speed before the collision.

Social media videos from the crash site show a chaotic scene—wreckage scattered across the highway, injured people lying on the pavement and first responders working to secure the area.

Initial reports suggested Boosie may have been behind the wheel, with some witnesses alleging reckless driving. 

However, journalist Loren Lorosa later clarified the rapper’s role, saying, “I just spoke to Boosie’s publicist who confirmed to me that .. BOOSIE WASNT HURT IN THE CAR ACCIDENT today that took place in Georgia.”

Lorosa also shared more details about the incident, noting that Boosie was not driving and was instead riding in the passenger seat. 

“Boosie only went to the hospital to be sure the driver was ok,” she wrote. “Boosie was on his phone in the passenger seat of the car involved in the accident .. he looked up for a second & then the car was m hit.”

The rapper himself addressed the crash on Facebook, writing, “IM GOOD. BANGED UP. BUT GOOD. [Prayer hands emoji] GOD GOT ME.”

The vehicle Boosie was in reportedly belonged to the driver, not the rapper. There’s been no official word yet on the condition of the other individuals involved.

The accident comes just days after Boosie celebrated the upcoming arrival of his ninth child with a lavish baby shower.

Busta Rhymes’ Son Trillian Reveals Emotional Reaction He Had To His Father’s Defining Hit

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: News

Busta Rhymes’ son Trillian just shared how his involvement in the second season of MTV’s documentary series dedicated to celebrating the accomplishments of musicians with their families became an emotional and motivating journey.

During his recent appearance on MTV’s Fresh Out Live, Trillian spoke candidly about his experience participating in the filming of season two of MTV’s Family Legacy series for the exclusive episode celebrating the longevity of his father alongside the kids of his dad’s collaborator Wyclef Jean.

For Trillian, it wasn’t just a project—it was a transformative experience.

“That probably was the best feeling ever,” Trillian said about being part of the series. “I was able to see certain clips that I’ve never seen before of my dad and you know just kind of actually see what it took my dad and how it took time for my dad to actually grow as Busta Rhymes and really created that Busta Rhymes character.”

Remarking on how he grew up knowing Busta Rhymes simply as “dad” Trillian described how powerful it was to witness unseen footage and behind-the-scenes moments, especially from early milestones in his father’s career.

“I know him as dad so getting to see all of that stuff and actually seeing all those unreleased clips and behind the scenes of ‘Scenario’ and stuff like that… it was amazing and it really actually put and lit a fire under me,” he shared. “It was like dang bro like it’s coming, it’s like a full circle moment for me. I’m getting to kind of vicariously live through him while he’s vicariously living through me.”

Above all, though, one moment from filming stood out above the rest for Trillian, who revealed watching the iconic “Scenario” music video, a pivotal release in Busta Rhymes’ rise to fame, left him in tears.

“I’ll definitely say it actually brought tears to my eyes when I seen the ‘Scenario’ video,” he admitted. “Because that’s the video that ‘rah rah like a dungeon dragon.’ That song is what really kind of brought my dad and actually started to really help emerge my dad into the artist that he is today 35 years later.”

He went on to reflect on the vastly different era his father came up in, long before the age of social media and digital shortcuts.

“Back then… they didn’t have social media, they didn’t have all the technology that we have now so it’s like he really had to be outside and really had to be charismatic and become that artist and step into that light,” he said. “So actually seeing that kind of just was like a little emotional for me but in a good way.”

EXCLUSIVE: R. Kelly Fails Miserably In Appeal; But Gets Win Over Herpes

By: Grouchy Greg Watkins (@GrouchyGreg)Category: Exclusives

R. Kelly lost his bid to overturn his sex trafficking and racketeering convictions Monday after a federal appeals court rejected nearly every claim in his appeal.

The disgraced R&B singer did score one minor legal victory involving the cost of herpes medication tied to one of his victims.

The Second Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the bulk of the 2021 verdict against R. Kelly, affirming his conviction on nine counts, including racketeering and multiple violations of the Mann Act.

The court found that prosecutors presented sufficient evidence that R. Kelly used his celebrity status to manipulate and sexually exploit underage girls and young women for more than two decades.

Kelly’s legal team had challenged the verdict on several fronts, arguing that the evidence was lacking, jurors were biased and his trial attorneys failed him during jury selection.

He also claimed the federal charges were based on unconstitutional applications of state laws.

The three-judge panel rejected all of those arguments.

The court also dismissed Kelly’s claims of juror misconduct and ineffective counsel, saying there was no credible proof that any juror was prejudiced or that his attorneys performed below professional standards.

Kelly also objected to the seizure of funds from his prison commissary account and the restitution orders issued by the trial court.

The appeals court ruled that the lower court acted within its discretion.

But Judge Richard Sullivan, while agreeing with most of the ruling, dissented on one narrow issue: the restitution amount awarded to a victim referred to as Jane, who contracted herpes from Kelly.

The trial court had calculated her restitution based on the cost of brand-name Valtrex, which runs $421.29 for a 30-day supply and totals $270,466.18 over a lifetime.

Sullivan argued that the court should have used the cost of the generic version, valacyclovir, which costs just $15.31 per month or $9,829.02 over a lifetime.

He noted that the court used the generic price when calculating restitution for another victim, Stephanie.

He warned the higher restitution could result in a “windfall” of more than $260,000 if Jane opted for the cheaper drug.

Sullivan recommended vacating Jane’s restitution award and sending it back to the district court to either justify using the brand-name price or adjust the amount.

The original trial featured disturbing testimony from multiple victims, including Jane, Stephanie and the late singer Aaliyah, who was allegedly married to Kelly at age 15 after he believed she was pregnant.

Other victims described being isolated, abused, and forced to follow strict rules while under Kelly’s control.

Prosecutors said Kelly’s entourage — including managers, assistants and drivers — helped him recruit and groom victims, often at concerts or public events.

They arranged travel for minors, concealed their ages and enforced Kelly’s rules, including punishing those who disobeyed.

R. Kelly remains incarcerated following his 2021 conviction in New York, which landed him 30 years in prison.  

Monday’s ruling leaves his conviction intact, though the restitution amount for Jane may be reconsidered.

Summer Walker Is Already Loathing New Tour Dates Chris Brown Warned Fans About

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: News

Chris Brown’s announcement of new concert dates have already caused some controversy among his fans and one of his tour’s supporting artists Summer Walker.

Following the announcement of European and North American dates for his upcoming Breezy Bowl XX Worldwide Stadium Tour on March 27, Brown issued a direct message to his fans days later on April 6. Though the circuit of live shows is set to feature a clash of multiple fanbases between R&B stars Jhené Aiko and Bryson Tiller, along with Walker, Brown still felt the need to issue a stern warning to Team Breezy to avoid any possible conflicts due to possible gang affiliation.

A post shared by BROWN (@chrisbrownofficial)

He started off by offering advice on what his loyal listeners should not wear to his concert in a message he shared to his Instagram Story.

“I see a lot of the fans collectively telling Team Breezy to wear red bandanas to the concert,” Brown wrote in part. “I would highly advise y’all to NOT do that.”

While he continued, offering an alternative to fans who seek to unify via an unofficial uniform, he didn’t shy away from his association with the type of “Blood” gang activity the red bandanas he advised against typically symbolize.

“JUST GET BROWN BANDANNAS SO Y’ALL WON’T RUN INTO ANY PROBLEMS,” he wrote. “I don’t want people to get the wrong impression and promote the wrong thing. Y’ALL KNOW, BRISX BREEZY but WE PROMOTE AND POSITIVITY ON THIS TOUR! Thank you and I love y’all.”

As if Brown’s red flag warning wasn’t already eyebrow raising enough, the featured artist for the Virginia vocalist’s ambitious tour schedule, which begins in June in Amsterdam and runs through until the September finale in Las Vegas, expressed some concern ahead of the new dates. In a TikTok Walker posted on April 4, she appeared visibly distraught in a video where she is seemingly wiping away tears over coming to terms with, “Chris brown adding more dates,” which she wrote in the caption. The post quickly went viral on the app, gaining over two million views before it made the jump to platforms such as Twitter and Instagram.

Tyler, The Creator’s Festival Set Canceled After Two Killed In Crane Fall

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

Tyler, The Creator and Massive Attack were pulled from Sunday’s (April 6) lineup at the AXE Ceremonia music festival in Mexico City after a deadly crane accident.

The mishap claimed the lives of two people the day before, prompting organizers to shut down the final day of performances.

According to local officials, on Saturday (April 5), the day of the incident, strong winds knocked over a crane carrying a metallic decoration.

The structure fell onto two individuals who were receiving treatment at the scene before being rushed to a hospital, where both later died.

The victims were identified as photographers Miguel Angel Rojas and Berenice Giles.

“With deep sadness, we confirm the passing of the two people who were injured during today’s incident,” AXE Ceremonia said in a statement. “We are deeply heartbroken by this loss. We are reaching out to their families to support them during this incredibly difficult time and to provide them with all our care and solidarity. The safety of our community has always been our priority, and we continue, as from the very beginning, to maintain close collaboration and complete transparency with the authorities.”

Despite the tragedy, the festival continued Saturday night with scheduled sets from Charli xcx and K-pop group Tomorrow X Together.

However, by Sunday, organizers and Mexico City’s mayor’s office confirmed Tyler, the Creator’s set and the remainder of the event would not go on.
