Latto Accused Of Dissing Ice Spice On “Sugar Honey Ice Tea” Album 

Latto has just dropped her eagerly anticipated album, and her fans are eating it up, claiming she separated herself from her rivals, including Ice Spice, who many believe received a shot or two on the album. 

The Atlanta representative was trending in the top spot on X (Twitter) after dropping Sugar Honey Ice Tea at midnight on Friday (August 9). Fans couldn’t get enough of the project, praising her rap skills and the elevation of her craft. 

“As expected, Latto’s album served,” one fan declared. “Idk why ppl acting surprised like latto doesn’t have the skills to rap circles around the “lap-dogs” lol.” 

The “lapdog” remark was a nod to a line on “Settle Down,” which fans speculated was a shot at Ice Spice. The pair have exchanged jabs multiple times in the past.

“Got these b###### waiting for me to drop,” Latto raps. “Know they probably waiting on me to flop/You was just a fan before you popped/I don’t even know you, how we ops?” 

She added, “Lap dog better not think she getting off the leash with me.” 

“S/O To Me” also caused a stir with rumored shade towards several of the rappers Latto had public spats with in the past. 

Additionally, one person suspected a reference to an empty fridge on “Shrimp & Grits” was a Nicki Minaj sub. 

Latto On Potential Ice Spice Battle

Nonetheless, Latto isn’t above subbing her rivals on wax and believes it’s part of the game.  

“Everybody gon’ take their lil jabs in the music, and it’s not even that serious to me; I feel like you should do that,” she explained during an interview with Billboard last month. “Continue to! But as far as actual whole dis records to each other, I don’t think she would even want to do that. I feel like… would it even make sense? It wouldn’t.” 

However, Latto doesn’t believe she will ever face Ice Spice in a Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar-style battle.  

“If I was to do [a battle], it would have to be with somebody I feel like Imma go t## for tat with,” Latto said. “I really don’t mean it as shade. Would she even want to do that? I feel like she’s doing her in her lane. It’s two different types of vibes. I don’t even think she gives me like, ‘Oh, she wants to engage in an actual rap beef.’” 

Yung Miami Explains Silence On Diddy Lawsuit Allegations: “I Don’t Know That Person” 

Yung Miami is opening up about her relationship with Diddy and why she stayed silent amid all the lawsuits and allegations of rape and human trafficking against the fallen mogul. 

On Thursday evening (August 8), the former City Girls rapper was in the hot seat for the return of her Caresha Please podcast. Her close friend Saucy Santana asked her why she did not speak up about Diddy on the season 2 premiere. 

“I can’t speak on something that wasn’t my experience, and I can’t speak on something that I don’t know. I can’t speak on these allegations because I wasn’t around at the time,” she said, adding “I don’t know that person, and that wasn’t my experience.” 

Yung Miami explained that “nobody called to see how I was doing” amid the controversy surrounding Diddy. 

“People feel like I was Diddy’s biggest cheerleader, and I made him my brand,” she added. “I met him when he was in another era. I met Diddy when the world was celebrating him and giving him his flowers when he was alive.”  

According to Miami, “I was celebrating him with the world,” and now, “everybody’s trying to crucify me for it.” 

Yung Miami and Diddy sparked dating rumors in 2021 before confirming their relationship on their podcast the following year.  

When asked if she experienced domestic violence at the hands of Diddy, the mother-of-two said she suffered abuse in the past and “would never put myself in that situation again.'” 

Yung Miami Confirms Split From Diddy

Yung Miami confirmed she and Diddy are over, and the allegations “really hurt me.” 

“Because I just feel like Puff was a really, really good person to me. I feel like he came and he helped me; he elevated me,” she said. Nonetheless, “when all of these things came out, I just needed to take a break and focus on what’s important and it was just me and my career and my family.” 

As for Diddy, Miami added, “let him navigate and figure it out on his own because I can’t get caught up in that.” 

After the show aired, Yung Miami shared a clip on Instagram of Santana praising her for staying “so strong” as everybody “turned on you.”  

“Tested & counted out,” she captioned her post. “I stood on all 10 & watch the world flip on me. We all go through some s### I just went through mine in front of the world. I let all the narratives run cause a lie is more entertaining than the truth. Thank you to everybody that’s supporting me through this journey.”

Lil Pump Degrades VP Kamala Harris In Yet Another Pro-Trump Rant

Lil Pump continues to pledge his allegiance to Donald Trump, this time with an Instagram video aimed at Vice President Kamala Harris.

The one-hit wonder took his thoughts to Instagram Live on Thursday (August 8) and told his 13.9 million followers he will leave the country if Harris wins the presidency. In the process, he degraded Harris, saying, “I swear on my Dad’s grave, if this stupid ass b#### Kamala Harris wins the f###### election, I’m moving out of America. I swore on everything.”

Lil Pump has been riding for Trump for years now. In January, he took his adulation for Donald Trump to another level by getting a tattoo of Trump’s face. He showed off the new ink on his leg in two photos on Instagram with the caption “MAGA.”

He initially pledged his support for Trump during the 2020 presidential race and even appeared on stage with Trump at a campaign rally that year. However, Trump mistakenly referred to the rapper as “Lil Pimp.”

“I appreciate everything you’ve done for our country,” Pump told Trump at the rally. “You brought the troops home and you’re doing the right thing. MAGA!”

In November 2023, Trump shouted out Lil Pump at a campaign rally in Florida. Trump said Pump was “one of the few” artists who publicly vouched for the twice-impeached politician. Lil Pump reaffirmed his support for Trump a month later. He captioned a picture of himself and Trump on Instagram: “Greatest president of all time.”

More recently, Lil Pump hared a photo of himself wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat with the caption, “If you vote for Kamala you ain’t black.” Someone quickly reminded him neither is he.

Kid Cudi Warns His Twitter Fans About New Instagram Rule He Found Out The Hard Way

Kid Cudi has revealed that his support for his fiancée on social media may have gotten him into digital hot water.

On Thursday (August 8) the “Marijuana” hitmaker took to Twitter to vent his frustrations with an incident that occurred on Instagram, which he described as “lame.” Long story short, Cudi recently posted a flick of a spliff, which we’ll add context to later, and it apparently cost him more than a pesky shadow ban on the Meta-managed app.

“Just found out I got what is called a ‘strike’ from IG becuz I posted a picture of a joint haha,” Kid Cudi wrote in the tweet. “How many pictures have I posted smoking since Ive been on IG? Lame. It’s weed. It’s 2024. Make it make sense.”

A post shared by AllHipHop (@allhiphopcom)

The photo Kid Cudi is referring to stems from a post in which he was celebrating his partner Lola Abecassis Sartore, who rolled her first-ever spliff for Cudder.

“My girl rolled a joint for me for the first time just how I like it w fronto and the s### was hittin haha,” Cudi wrote in the caption of the post. “Proud of my baby. Ima be honest, I didnt have faith and she proved me wrong. Such a badass woman. Lola, I love you @lolaabecassis I give it [five stars].”

Even though he didn’t share any images or videos of himself smoking, as he mentioned in his tweet, the flick was still enough to get Cudi in trouble, apparently. Nonetheless, a small social media dust-up isn’t going to upset the happy home Cudi and Sartore have created.

In fact, Cudi has frequently used Instagram to gush about his wife-to-be, who is a menswear designer for Louis Vuitton. In April he shared with his followers a photo from the premiere of the “Knuckles” series he stars in along with a heartfelt post remarking on the happiness Sartore brings him.

“My fiancé Lola and me at the Knuckles premiere,” he wrote in the caption of the post. “This amazing woman makes me so happy, she is everything to me and im so excited to share this news w u all. Life is wild, and right when I felt my future was uncertain, it became crystal clear with Lola. Happy Cud in full effect. Styled by @ysl.”

KRS-One Reveals Importance Of “HIP HOP 51 Walk This Way” March

The Hip-Hop Icon Explains Why Hip Hop Is Living And Walking This Way.

While some consider Hip Hop’s 50th year to be solely the year 2023, it’s more culturally accurate to recognize Hip Hop’s 50th year as spanning from August 11, 2023 to August 11, 2024. As we approach the conclusion of this monumental year, we are reminded of how far we have come and how far we still have to go.

From Hip-Hop’s humble beginnings at 1520 Sedgwick Avenue in the Bronx to our artistic organization through the Universal Zulu Nation, from DJ innovations and park jams to mixtapes, vinyl records, radio shows, and music television programming; from legendary breakers and artistically genius graffiti writers to globally respected emcees voicing the concerns of urban communities, Hip Hop has “come a long way” in a short period. This development should not be carelessly overlooked or culturally demeaned.

We’ve made it! And no one needs to tell us that we’ve made it, that we’ve survived, and that we’ve overcome great odds and obstacles. We must declare this for ourselves and for our children. This is what the close of Hip Hop’s 50th year means. It signifies victory, maturity, and the establishment of our cultural existence in the world.

For those born into Hip Hop or who simply enjoy “Rap” music, the cultural development of Hip Hop over 50 years might not mean much. But for those of us who remember the birth of original Hip Hop and the struggles we had to overcome to even reach this milestone; for those of us who remain loyal to the original Hip Hop cultural principles of peace, love, unity, and safely having fun as the fundamental reasons for practicing Breakin, Emceein, Graffiti Art, and Deejayin; the close of Hip Hop’s 50th year is far more significant than its beginning. Hip Hop’s 50th year evidences our victory over the streets.

KRS-One To Lead HIP-HOP 51 March For Urban Health & Peaceful Conflict Resolution

It is now, at the close of Hip Hop’s 50th year, that our real preservation work begins. We re-enact the cultural migration of Hip Hop to ritualize our history and further establish Hip Hop’s heritage. This is why we are starting our “march” at 8:00 PM with a private ceremony at 1520 Sedgwick Avenue, passing 1600 Sedgwick Avenue, moving on to Cedar Park, then through the Bronx, arriving at Crotona Park around 12:00 PM. From there, we proceed to Newark, New Jersey, for our closing festival at the Temple of Hip Hop.

This route re-enacts Hip Hop’s cultural migration from its birthplace through its park jams to its commercial success out of New Jersey with the Sugar Hill Gang, and it concludes at Hip Hop’s new global cultural center, the Temple of Hip Hop, in Newark, New Jersey.

With a healthy respect for our victorious past and an eye toward our glorious future, it is clear that only we have taken care of us, only we can take care of us, and only we will take care of us! Peace, love, unity, and safely having fun amongst ourselves; these are the practices we need for our next 50 years to be even more victorious than the last. We owe this to our future.

Remember, we are not just doing Hip Hop; we are Hip Hop! Rap is something we do; Hip Hop is something we live! See you next year.

[Editor’s note, KRS-One does not use a dash in Hip-Hop, as typically represented in AllHipHop’s styleguide. Nevertheless, we live this thing of ours.]

Chrisean Rock Facing Eight Years In Prison On Drug-Related Charges

Chrisean Rock is facing eight years in prison following her June arrest and extradition to Oklahoma on drug-related charges.

Arrest documents viewed by AllHipHop show she’s currently being held at the Northeast Oklahoma Community Corrections Center in Vinita. The polarizing star has been charged with failure to have a tax stamp affixed on control dangerous substances (CDS) and possession of CDS with the intent to distribute. Each charge carries a potential four-year sentence.

Rock’s legal battle continued in June, when she was arrested at Blueface’s court hearing in Los Angeles and was extradited back to Oklahoma because she had a warrant out for her 2022 arrest on drug charges.

Rock was at the courthouse to support Blueface, the father of her child, as he dealt with his own legal issues. She was quickly apprehended on a felony fugitive warrant out of Oklahoma, where she was wanted for a probation violation in a drug case.

Blueface’s manager Wack 100 said at the time, “I think within the next 30 days, they got 45 days to transport her. If they come get her … they’ll fly her over there. So, the faster she gets over there, the faster she’ll be home. It’s not like she’s gonna do some years, be incarcerated for a long time.

“The minute you hear Rock is in Oklahoma, [she’s in] custody. Probably within 10 days of that, best case, she’ll be home. Or the judge might give her a little time: months, couple of months, whatever they do. Either way, we’ll see her before Christmas. We’ll see her before the summer’s up. She’ll be alright … She’s in the same situation Blueface is in.”

Blueface is also behind bars at the Men’s Central Jail in Los Angeles, leaving their nearly one-year-old child without either of his parents.

Yung Miami Suggests New “Caresha Please” Episode Will Double As Diddy Tell-All

City Girls rapper Yung Miami broke her silence on her Diddy romance amid his mounting legal issues.

On Thursday (August 8), Yung Miami addressed her two million Twitter followers with a message accompanied by a trailer for the latest episode of her Caresha Please podcast with Saucy Santana on REVOLT TV.

In the trailer for the podcast, Saucy Santana doesn’t tread lightly and dives deep right away, questioning Yung Miami about her relationship with the disgraced Bad Boy Records mogul, in addition to pressing her about her silence during the onslaught of sexual assault allegations Diddy has been at the center of this year.

In the brief tweet, the “Act Up” rapper further stoked flames by seemingly alluding to the difficulty it took for her to do the podcast from a forthcoming and transparent standpoint.

“This wasn’t easy, My Truth, My side, MY STORY,” she wrote. “But I’m ready for the smoke! TONIGHT @ 8pm EST on @REVOLTTV #CareshaPlease.”

In an interview with PEOPLE, Yung Miami detailed both her decision to return to REVOLT following Diddy’s separation from the company, along with her choice to address their relationship on her podcast.

“I felt like this was something REVOLT had to go through as well,” she said. “I considered [leaving] it, but at the end of the day, it’s a Black-owned media company and I built a relationship with them — it just felt comfortable and I just felt safe.

“I want to be able to answer all the questions that people may have. I’m ready to answer everything, tell my story, tell my truth, tell my feelings and tell what I’ve been going through.”

The podcast marks the first time Yung Miami has publicly addressed her connection to Diddy in depth since his mansions were raided back in March. Despite her silence, the Florida native was linked to several unsavory allegations as a result of numerous legal filings in which Diddy was named.

In addition to being accused of receiving $250,000 per month, Yung Miami was named in legal docs that allege she agreed to transport a drug known as “pink cocaine” from Miami to Virginia on Diddy’s private jet.

Though Yung Miami’s team has since suggested they had evidence to debunk the allegations, she has remained fairly tight-lipped about her relationship with Diddy — until now.

Diddy and Yung Miami were first romantically linked in the summer of 2021. Rumors about their relationship began circulating after they were spotted together at various events and on vacation. In June 2022, Yung Miami confirmed their relationship during an episode of her podcast Caresha Please in which Diddy appeared as a guest.

The two described their relationship as casual and fun, with Diddy stating they were dating and having a good time, while also emphasizing that they were both single and free to date others.

Kanye West’s Ex-Chief Of Staff Initiated Contact With Nitrous Dentist YesJulz Says

YesJulz is speaking out with a bold claim following the bombshell nitrous oxide addictions Kanye West’s former chief of staff recently made.

Earlier this week, Milo Yiannopoulos made a number of claims about West’s alleged use of nitrous gas in an affidavit accompanying a complaint against a celebrity dentist. In the legal filing, Yiannopoulos said Thomas P. Connelly, the dentist who installed Ye‘s titanium grill, is complicit in “the unlawful supply of enormous quantities of nitrous gas to a wealthy, famous patient for explicitly recreational use.”

Yiannopoulos also accused Connelly of allegedly hiring an individual to cause bodily harm to him. However, now, YesJulz is pushing back on Milo’s claims after being named in the affidavit and is alleging that Yiannopoulos played a role in connecting Ye to Connelly.

“Riddle me this hero, who suggested for him to get the grill in the first place?” YesJulz questioned Yiannopoulos in a lengthy tweet. “When I was told to book the appointment I expressed my concerns & pushed back twice asking if he was sure he wanted to do it. I was told that the decision was made, he was sure it was what he wanted and to do not question it again.”

A post shared by AllHipHop (@allhiphopcom)

In another portion of the rant, YesJulz alluded to her dismissal from Yeezy as a ploy by Yiannopoulos to takeover control of West’s business dealings and life at large.

“I wasn’t around to even know whether or not your claims about addiction were real – let alone be in a position where I could actually help IF that were the case,” she wrote. “YOU made sure of that bc you knew the last time a plot like this was unfolding, I was there and actually did something about it.”

YesJulz sent a message to Yiannopoulos, demanding he remove her from any future legal filings. She also went on to share a number of tweets on her personal profile accusing Yiannopoulos of harassment and allegedly attempting to have her children seized from her. In the process, she shared screenshots of text exchanges with Yiannopoulos in which he uses racial slurs and other abusive language.

Bhad Bhabie Posts Photo Of Allegedly Abusive Boyfriend Sucking On Her Ear

Bhad Bhabie—real name Danielle Bregoli—is apparently back on good terms with the father of her child, LeVaughn.

On Wednesday (August 7), the former Atlantic Records signee shared a photo to her Instagram Stories showing him sucking on her ear. Of course the image raised some eyebrows considering it’s been only a month since Bhad Bhabie accused him of physically assaulting her.

Bhad Bhabie made the allegations in July and shared surveillance video of the alleged beatings and injuries she sustained. 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.

“This man think he gonna take my daughter from me!!” she wrote in another post. “Say what ever you want but tryna take my baby is crazy.”

Bhad Bhabie shared a video of her and her baby daddy Le Vaughn kissing in a passionate makeout session on her stories on Tuesday night.

Any Thoughts???#BhadBhabie #LeVaughn #Lovelytitv pic.twitter.com/o0RB75q3TU

Bhad Bhabie later claimed she loves LeVaughn and insisted he was seeking help. She also downplayed the alleged abuse, saying it doesn’t happen often.

“I love that man more than I love myself and it’s honestly really sad,” she said. “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.

“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.”

After Bhad Bhabie and LeVaughn were photographed hugging and kissing at a Beverly Hills restaurant days later, there was more trouble in paradise. On July 29, she wrote another post that described him as a gold digger: “@xgamelv looking for a bbl Latina hoe must be rich and have a house and cars he can use.”

Whatever the case, Bhad Bhabie continues to post the ups and downs of their relationship on social media. Check out the latest above.

Chrisean Rock’s Latest Mugshot Surfaces Online With Rapper Sporting New Look 

Chrisean Rock might be locked up, but she is still going viral as fans react to her new look, as seen in a new mugshot. 

On Thursday (August 8), an image of a smiling Chrisean Rock circulated online amid reports she’s facing a hefty sentence. In the mugshot, the Baddies star appeared to be rocking a fresh set of twists, with some fans claiming she’stransforming into boyfriend Blueface. 

“Chrisean really did her hair in the same style as Blue’s jailhouse hairdo,” one person wrote on Twitter (X). “Hopefully they order her to undergo therapy as well. Never seen someone so obsessed with a man.” 

Another added, “She wanna be Blueface so bad. Chrisean Rocks new mugshot has surfaced where she channeled her inner @bluefacebleedem. Not just copying the tattoo placements of Blue & Jaidyn but now with Blueface SAME hairstyle.” 

Other social media users expressed concerns for her young son with both of his parents behind bars. Blueface is held in Los Angeles on a probation violation, with his manager, Wack 100, claiming his release is imminent. Chrisean Rock could be locked up for some time following her June arrest and extradition to Oklahoma on drug-related charges. 

Arrest documents viewed by AllHipHop show she’s currently being held at the Northeast Oklahoma Community Corrections Center in Vinita. She’s facing eight years in prison on charges of failure to have a tax stamp affixed on controlled dangerous substances (CDS) and possession of CDS with the intent to distribute. 

#SaveYe Trends Amid Claims Kanye West Hooked On Nitrous Gas, Dentist Denies Allegations 

Kanye West fans have launched a campaign to “save” the rapper after a former employee claimed he was hooked on Nitrous gas supplied by a celeb dentist.  

On Thursday morning (August 8) #SaveYe was trending as concerned fans reacted to reports that former Yeezy-chief of staff Milo Yiannopoulos alleged that celeb dentist Thomas P. Connelly was supplying West with copious amounts of the gas for recreational use.  

In a lengthy affidavit which Yiannopoulos said he gave “the FBI and the DA,” he claimed the dentist “sought to exploit” Kanye West’s “psychological vulnerabilities.”  

Kanye West fans took to social media, bashing the dentist in droves and sharing videos of Ye previously admitting to nitrous use. 

In one brief clip, Ye is seen with a mask on, saying, “I’m on the nitrous.” In another snippet, the rapper recommended gas to combat stress. 

Another fan shared a video of him posting flyers in his hometown to raise awareness. “They’re trying to kill Kanye West,” the headline read.  

A third Kanye West supporter shared a photo of Connelly, branding him a “monster.” 

“This man is responsible for Ye’s decline, causing his irreversible brain damage by illegally supplying him with nitrous oxide,” they wrote. “Ye NEVER lost his love for art, it was taken forever by this monster.” 

Despite the hysteria, a rep for Connelly disputed Yiannopoulos’ allegations, accusing him of attention-seeking. Additionally, they told TMZ the claims were “not only factually incorrect but also intentionally misleading.” 

The rep also insisted Connelly continues to provide a high standard of care to his patients, adhering to all ethical and legal guidelines.  

Scar Lip Defends Relationship After Boyfriend’s “Pretty Sometimes” Comment Goes Viral 

Scar Lip has responded to calls for her to ditch her boyfriend following his remarks during a recent Instagram Live. 

In the video, the rising rap star asks her boyfriend, “You think I’m pretty, baby?” He replies, “You’re beautiful,” before pausing and adding, “sometimes.” 

After asking if she “looks pretty right now?” Scar’s boyfriend said, “No, not right now. Definitely not right now.” 

He continued to downplay her looks while Scar screwed up her face. “I’m a get out of here y’all. I don’t feel like being on live no more,” she added while side-eyeing her man.  

After one final unsuccessful attempt to get another compliment from her boyfriend, Scar Lip ended the stream.  

Scar Lip & Boyfriend “Going Strong”

The video caused a stir online, with Scar Lips fans urging her to leave her boyfriend and find a man who will always find her attractive.  

Nonetheless, the Swizz Beatz protégé is standing by her man and took to social media to challenge the criticism.  

“Things are tough rn but we are growing strong,” she wrote in response to one clip of the video on X (Twitter). “SHE HOTTT,” Scar added, giving a nod to her latest single. 

Scar fired back at another critic, asking, “Why do you talk down on me ? What have I done for You to always say these type of things about me ? What’s the issue.” 

Later, she added, “Wats up with the hate train vibes.”

Earlier this year, the Bronx native revealed she was bullied as a child for being dark-skinned and addressed the colorism she faces in her career. 

“People telling me I’m not pretty, and that bothers me a little bit. Cause I believe I’m beautiful,” Scar Lip said on IG Live. “You want me to feel bad about me or something? To tell me those things. I’m Black. Yes, I sure am Black. Actually, very Black. But that doesn’t take away my beauty.”

Kanye West Says Beyoncé Should Let JAY-Z Cheat In Resurfaced Interview    

Kanye West made a drastic suggestion about JAY-Z and Beyoncé’s marriage in a resurfaced interview with Candace Owens. 

On Wednesday (August 7), the controversial conservative commentator dropped a previously shelved interview with Ye from 2022. 

During the conversation, which Owens said went down amid the backlash over the “White Lives Matter” t-shirt scandal, Kanye West discussed a range of topics. At one point, West showed love to Drake and JAY-Z despite longstanding issues with both.  

“This makes me think, Drake is the best rapper ever by the numbers,” he said of his rival. “JAY-Z is the greatest rapper ever by the inspiration.” 

While Owens attempted to flesh out his remarks, West swiftly switched gears. “I just think Beyoncé needs to let him go get some p####, seriously,” he interjected.  

Owens erupted in confused laughter at the bizarre comment, with West soon joining in. “Go to the [Dominican Republic] or something, you know what I mean?” 

Elsewhere during the interview, West told Owens he was drunk when he made the antisemitic comments that saw him banned from Twitter. 

“I definitely was drinking when I put up the Death Con tweet,” Ye insisted. “You wanna know what alcohol I had inside me? Hennessy.” 

In other Kanye West news, a former Yeezy employee claimed West was addicted to nitrous gas. Milo filed a complaint against the dentists who installed Ye’s titanium grill, accusing him of exploiting the rapper’s “psychological vulnerabilities.” 

Amid a day of headlines, West also dropped some visuals for his collab album with Ty Dolla $ign. The duo shared a visualizer for Vultures 2 song “FRIED.” 

Cardi B Reveals Unborn Baby’s Life Was At Risk Following “Freak Accident”  

Cardi B reveals she almost lost her unborn child in a freak accident that left her in excruciating pain and in hospital for days.  

On Wednesday (August 7), less than a week after announcing her pregnancy, the “Wanna Be” hitmaker took to social media to update her fans. She hopped on X (Twitter) Spaces to reveal that she was back home after spending a few days in hospital.  

“I had a f###### freak accident,” she explained. While Cardi B withheld the specific details of what led to her hospitalization, she added, “It become so big to the point I was literally paralyzed.” 

She continued, revealing that her unborn baby was at risk during the terrifying ordeal. “And that little thing almost cost me my little one to come,” she said. “But it didn’t.”

While Cardi B is back at home and in good spirits, she’s struggling to cope with the pain.  

“Yesterday I was feeling good. I came home, but I came home high as a kite,” Cardi added. “Today, I woke up sober, honey. I’m dying … If I don’t feel good in four hours, I’m going to the hospital and I don’t give a f###. I’ma exaggerate this s### so I can get more morphine. Morphine me down! I don’t give a damn.” 

Elsewhere during the update, Cardi B said “a little freak accident” landed her a spell in the hospital for two or three days. “I’m in a lot of pain,” she added. “I don’t even know how the f### it happened … but I injured myself.” 

Although Cardi is struggling with her injuries, she remains focused on her upcoming album. “You think I could record lying down?” she questioned. “Cuz I have so much things planned now.” 

Cardi also wondered whether divine intervention was responsible for her hospitalization. The mother-of-two plans to release an album before the year is out. She also recently filed for divorce from husband Offset, 

“I think God wanted me to sit down and calm down a little bit,” she mused, adding that she had been “doing too much” and “got a little bit too excited.” 

Chris Brown Fans Push Back After Victoria Monét Dragged For Attending His Concert 

Victoria Monét was catching heat online after attending Chris Brown’s Los Angeles concert earlier this week. 

However, Brown’s fans have had enough of people criticizing his supporters, including Monét. Earlier this week, Kehlani faced backlash over a selfie with Brown, and an onslaught was expected after another R&B star showed love to the singer. 

On Wednesday (August 7), a Chris Brown fan page shared a video of Victoria Monét and a friend vibing at his concert. The clip, posted on X (Twitter), was viewed over 6 million times and attracted thousands of comments. 

“They will be dragging her soon,” one person wrote, anticipating the criticism.

“Chris Brown is not “canceled” offline,” a fan shared. “In actuality, he is very loved and celebrated. When I say I don’t listen to him, I’m constantly met w “that’s his past blah blah blah.” People who don’t engage with his music are the minority.” 

“Y’all obsession with Chris brown is weird,” a third person said. “If you don’t like him don’t listen to his music and mute his name on here. Y’all have a habit of thinking yall can bully somebody into doing what YOU want them to do and it’s strange. No wonder y’all always mad on here, yall always b####### about something you have absolutely no control over.” 

While Chris Brown just wrapped his 11:11 tour, he could be set to kick off another very soon. At his LA show on Tuesday (August 6), Brown hinted he could be marking the 20-year anniversary of his eponymous debut album with a tour. 

“See you next year,” he told the crowd with his two daughters, Royalty and Lovely beside him. 

Ashanti Trends As Fans Troll Nelly Over Ecstasy Arrest Reports 

Ashanti fans were concerned over reports that the singer’s husband Nelly was arrested for possession of illicit drugs. 

While Nelly was going viral as news of an alleged arrest for ecstasy broke, his wife was celebrating her mother’s birthday. On Wednesday (August 7), Ashanti paid tribute to her mom with a sweet post on Instagram. The heavily pregnant singer celebrated the “special night” with a carousel of photos from the birthday bash. 

The timing of the post was interesting, arriving amid reports of Nelly’s arrest and weeks after Ashanti’s mom’s July 13 birthday. While the comment section was littered with sweet comments, over on X (Twitter), Ashanti fans were singing a different tune.  

“Nelly getting caught with ecstasy && no car insurance is wild,” one fan wrote. “Bc if Ashanti is pregnant who is he doing X with??? And you’re about to have a new born with no car insurance?? Is he 40 or 21???? Everybody is just crashing out these days.” 

“Nelly pushing 50 & that n#### got sexual assault cases, a baby otw, on ecstasy w/ no insurance & aint had a hit in yrs. Ashanti doubling back might’ve been a miss,” another person added. 

However, not everybody was a critic, with some calling out the backlash amid Ashanti’s pregnancy. 

“Y’all saying y’all empathize with Ashanti while dragging her husband,” a third person shared. “She’s pregnant, probably scared, embarrassed but also probably scared..it’s always forgive, pick better, spin the block until someone hits hard times but if she get on here snapping she’s a villain.” 

Following the initial reports of Nelly’s arrest, his attorneys denied he was nabbed on drug possession charges.  

“He was arrested for ‘No Proof of Insurance’ from 2018 on a warrant issued December 2023 that he received no notice,” his legal team stated. The firm is “100% confident” the case will “go nowhere.” They plan to demand an inquiry into this officer’s conduct. 

EXCLUSIVE: Nelly’s Attorneys Deny Drug Possession Charges, Slam “Overzealous” Officer

(UPDATE) Nelly’s team is denying reports the rapper—real name Cornell Haynes II—was arrested on drug possession charges as claimed by KRCG. In a statement sent to AllHipHop, the law firm of Rosenblum, Schwartz, Fry & Johnson says a warrant from 2018 finally caught up with him.

“Mr. Haynes was not charged with drug possession,” the statement reads. “He was arrested for ‘No Proof of Insurance’ from 2018 on a warrant issued December 2023 that he received no notice. Mr. Haynes was targeted by an overzealous, out of line officer. After winning several jackpots at a venue where Mr. Haynes frequently visits and entertains at its amphitheater; instead of just supervising the transfer of Mr. Haynes’ winnings, this officer felt compelled to needlessly run a check for warrants.

“The officer informed Mr. Haynes a background check was mandated when a player won over a certain amount; Mr. Haynes knew this to be untrue as he had won several jackpots for similar or greater amounts including one just a week prior without iucident or a background check. Once Mr. Haynes was informed ofthe warrant for a No Proof of Insurance infraction, this officer felt compelled to handcuff Mr. Haynes behind his back and parade him through the casino in front of other patrons.”

It continued, “This officer then conducted a search without probable cause where he claimed to have found alleged ‘ecstasy’ in Mr. Haynes’ personal property. Under similar circumstances, assuming there was an old warrant without any notice to the individual for no proof of insurance, any other citizen would have been told to address it and allowed to go on their way.”

The attorney went on to explain as part of the requirements of international travel, Nelly is regularly asked to supply proof of no warrants, including FBI checks, but there were none. The firm is “100% confident” the case will “go nowhere.” They plan to demand an inquiry into this officer’s conduct.


Nelly was reportedly arrested in Missouri on Wednesday morning (August 7), accused of possessing illicit drugs. According to the Missouri Department of Corrections records, Nelly was apprehended in Maryland Heights, a suburb of his hometown of St. Louis. He was taken into custody at 4:45 a.m local time with bloodshot eyes.

Local news affiliate KRCG reports he was busted with four ecstasy pills and no insurance. He has since been released.

The arrest marks a dark cloud in an otherwise good life for Nelly. He reunited with his longtime love Ashanti, got married and is looking forward to raising their first child together. Public records revealed the couple tied the knot six months ago on December 27, 2023. The paperwork stated the marriage became official in St. Louis County, so it’s safe to conclude the ceremony took place in St. Louis.

Known for their on-again, off-again relationship that began in the early 2000s, Ashanti and Nelly shocked fans with the news of their quiet nuptials. The couple initially dated for nearly a decade before parting ways in 2014 and rekindling their romance last year.

After months of speculation from her fans, Ashanti confirmed she was pregnant in April with an Instagram video. At the same time, she announced Nelly had popped the question.

“This new year of my life is such a blessing full of love, hope, and anticipation,” she said in a statement to ESSENCE. “Motherhood is something that I have looked forward to, and sharing this with my family, fiancé, and loyal fans, who have been so supportive of my career, is an amazing experience.”

Since then, Ashanti has been vocal about her pregnancy and journey into motherhood.

“This Mother’s Day was so special,” she wrote via Instagram in May. “Having our families together as we are about to embark on such an incredible journey was amazing. Wishing all of the amazing Moms and Moms to be a beautiful Mother’s Day/ Pre Mothers Day!!!!! grateful yeah yeah I know I’m late… it was so much food I got distracted. Ps… I only had 1 plate tho.”

Nelly has yet to publicly address the arrest.

Kid Capri Calls Out Travis Scott For Denying Fan Autograph For Not Knowing Debut Mixtape

Kid Capri is speaking directly to global rap phenom Travis Scott following his recent autographing stunt that went viral on social media.

Scott was caught on film signing copies of his Astroworld album for a few lucky fans who popped up on him as he was in-transit to another location. Everything was all fine and dandy until La Flame asked one of the kids for the name of his first mixtape before signing his vinyl.

The youngster appeared to stumble for a moment before seemingly admitting he was unfamiliar with Owl Pharaoh. It was at this point, Scott pulled the Sharpie away and closed the door on the group of fans. In a recent Instagram video, Kid Capri took Scott to task for his treatment of the young fan.

“Hey, yo, Travis Scott,” Kid Capri started off. “When we start being disrespectful to kids, bro? Little kid asked you for an autograph, pushed his hand away, looked at him like he was the devil and just walked away from him. At one time, you would’ve wanted somebody to ask you for an autograph or asked you for a picture or whatever it is he asked you for.”

Kid Capri didn’t hold back in criticizing Scott for his behavior and proceeded to begin calling out celebrities and petitioning them to remember their roots and the people who support them. In the process, he referenced the perseverance of the “MELTDOWN” rapper’s fan base by remarking on the tragedy at the fatal 2021 Astroworld Festival in his hometown of Houston.

“Celebs, get where they getting and they forget,” he said. “You know what I’m saying? Like dog, like 10 people died at one of your concerts. I would try to be as humble as possible. I’m not saying it’s your fault, but I would try to be as humble as possible when it comes to the fans, bro, they lift you up.”

Expressing his disappointment further, Kid Capri highlighted the importance of appreciating and respecting fans, especially young ones. He appeared to address the trend of Scott demanding his fans answer trivia questions about his discography in exchange for autographs as he continued.

“This ain’t the first time I seen you do some s##t that was funny style,” he said. “You know what I’m saying? As a little kid, and it p##### me off to see that. Cause I come from signing every autograph, taking every picture, doing video drops for people. We would’ve wished people asked us for that when we wasn’t on.

“I’m not at your level, but I’m at Kid Capri level and I respect the fans. That right there was crazy. I’m not saying you got to sign everybody’s thing or do what everybody say, but when it comes to little kids, they look at you as a superhero, bro, that s### right there was super, super corny.”

He concluded his passionate rant with a plea urging Scott and other celebrities to stay humble and appreciate their supporters.

“Y’all make what y’all going to make,” he said. “Y’all get what y’all going to get. And y’all forget the people that helped y’all get there, even if they didn’t help you get there. Be humble. Be glad that you’re in that position.”

Despite his criticism, Kid Capri acknowledged Scott’s talents, saying, “I think you’re a real talented dude. Dope producer, dope rapper, dope businessman, all that. But that s### ain’t got nothing to do. When you treat people beneath you don’t give f##k who you are.”

Kid Capri is known for his influential role in Hip-Hop that includes work with iconic artists and groups like Camp Lo. His dedication to his craft and his fans has earned him a lasting legacy in the music industry, making his words resonate even more powerfully in light of this incident.

Lauryn Hill Blames Media’s “Sensationalism & Clickbait Headlines” For Tour Cancelation

Lauryn Hill and the rest of her Fugees brethren canceled their North American leg of the Miseducation of Lauryn Hill Anniversary Tour this week, just days before it was to begin. Ticketholders posted screenshots of a message they received from Live Nation stating simply, “Your event has been canceled. A refund will be on its way to your account soon.”

Hill offered no explanation for the last minute decision—until now. Taking to Instagram on Wednesday (August 7), Hill attributed the cancelation to stories written about her. In the process, she assured her international fans the show would go on.

“With difficulty the decision was made to pull down our upcoming North American tour dates,” she wrote. “The shows in the UK and Europe ARE MOVING FORWARD as planned. Last year, I faced an injury that necessitated the rescheduling of some of my shows. Regrettably, some media outlet’s penchant for sensationalism and clickbait headlines have seemingly created a narrative that has affected ticket sales for the North American portion of the tour.”

She continued, “The trust and faith I have in my intentions and my commitment to my art seem to have been overshadowed by this unfortunate portrayal. The audiences in the UK and Europe not only haven’t seen the Miseducation Anniversary performances yet, they also haven’t seen the Fugees perform together in over 25 years!”

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill 25th Anniversary Tour was expected to kick off on Friday (August 9) in Tampa. It included stops in Los Angeles, New York and New Jersey as well as Atlanta, Philadelphia, Dallas, Houston and Milwaukee—18 U.S. dates in all. Hill suggested she was bothered by the cancelation and vowed to return.

“Performing for my fans is a profound exchange of energy and emotion that excites me every time,” she continued. “Every show is a piece of my expression and testament to our connection and shared love for music. I can assure you that no one is more disappointed about not being able to perform than I am.

“Know that I am not only grateful for those who appreciate and support my art, but that I FIGHT and push through all kinds of resistance to put together experiences that mean something for all of us. I love being able to bring these performances to you! I appreciate your understanding. We’re looking forward to performing at the shows in the UK and Europe in October—and for our fans in North America, when these unforeseen circumstances are resolved, we’ll be back in full force.”

Of course, Hill’s fans are growing tired of her inconsistencies when it comes to touring. As one fan wrote, “ITS SO DISHEARTENING BEING A FAN OF LAURYN HILL. Last October, a hour before the show in Dallas, it was cancelled with no warning. I tried again this run even when EVERYONE clowned me saying I was foolish for trying. Cancelled AGAIN. I love Lauryn man. But damn yo. DO BETTER.”
