Ray J Claims He Slept With Amber Rose Nightly On “College Hill” Reality Show

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

Ray J’s experience on BET+’s College Hill: Celebrity Edition apparently involved constant cuddling with castmate Amber Rose. The R&B singer/reality show star born William Ray Norwood Jr. spoke about his relationship with the former exotic dancer.

“I could tell you Amber was seeing ghosts in the [College Hill] house,” Ray J stated in an interview with Jason Lee. The Tronix Network founder also said, “She’s like, ‘Ray J, I need you to come up and sleep with me every night ’cause I see ghosts.'”

According to Ray, BET+ did not televise him and Amber Rose sharing a bed on a nightly basis. The “One Wish” vocalist claimed, “I don’t know how much they showed, but we slept together most of the show.”

Season two of College Hill: Celebrity Edition made headlines for a racially motivated fight between Amber Rose and Joseline Hernandez. Ray J would not confirm who won the physical confrontation.

In addition, Ray defended Amber Rose publically supporting Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump‘s 2024 campaign despite her receiving backlash for the political endorsement.

“Trump’s my guy. They don’t never drag me,” Ray J declared. “My team tells me to stay out of politics, but I f### with Trump. I f### with [former President Barack Obama] too.”

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

Hot 97’s 2024 Summer Jam concert featured some of music’s top stars. For example, New York native Method Man and New Jersey native Redman hit the stage at New York’s USB Arena on Sunday (June 2).

Following the show, Method Man expressed his frustration with the audience’s reaction to his performance. The Wu-Tang Clan member took to social media to share his thoughts on the situation.

“Not our crowd at all,” Meth wrote on Instagram. “Thanks again, New York and the whole tri-state (that showed up to the event) plus Pete [Rosenberg] and Ebro [Darden] I got love for you guys, but never again. At this point, the generation gap is just too wide for me. #nevercomingback.”

TMZ caught up with Soulja Boy to get his reaction to Method Man’s remarks about this year’s Summer Jam. According to the “Crank That” hitmaker, the New York crowd should have been more aware of the iconic MC.

“I don’t think he means that. He probably just in his feelings,” Soulja Boy said about Method Man’s declaration to never return to Summer Jam. “He’s probably gonna perform at a future event. But shout out to him.”

The 33-year-old Atlanta-bred rapper also stated, “That’s New York, though. Everybody’s supposed to know who he is. I don’t know, that’s crazy. There probably was a lot of young people in the audience.”

In addition, Soulja Boy referred to Method Man as a legend. He then suggested the 53-year-old Tical 2000: Judgement Day album creator will return to Summer Jam in the future.

Hot 97 received some backlash when the NYC-based radio station announced the 2024 Summer Jam lineup. Acts such as Doja Cat, Offset and Sexyy Red also appeared on the promotional flyer.

Meanwhile, Method Man will return as part of the cast of Starz’s Power Book II: Ghost television series. The crime drama is set to end with the upcoming fourth season which premieres on Friday, June 7.

Metro Boomin Stars In 2024 NBA Finals Commercial

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

2024 has been very productive for Metro Boomin. The St. Louis-bred music producer added a partnership with the NBA on ESPN and ABC to his list of accomplishments this year.

Metro Boomin became the face of the networks’ 2024 NBA Finals campaign. He stars in a commercial that aired ahead of Game 1 of the NBA Finals Series between the Boston Celtics and Dallas Mavericks.

The spot, which features Metro’s “Runnin Outta Time” with Future, will run across the ESPN and ABC linear channels. In addition, ESPN’s social platforms will utilize the promotional video throughout the series.

Metro Boomin teamed up with Future for two 2024 studio LPs. We Don’t Trust You dropped on March 22. We Still Don’t Trust You followed on April 12. Both collaborative albums debuted atop the Billboard 200 chart.

Plus, Metro Boomin scored a viral hit with the “BBL Drizzy” instrumental diss track. The song served as a response to Drake telling the beatmaker to “shut your ho ass up and make some drums” on the “Push Ups” record.

The 2024 NBA Finals kicks off on Thursday, June 6 at 8:30 pm ET on ABC. The Eastern Conference champion Boston Celtics and the Western Conference champion Dallas Mavericks will face in the best-of-seven series.

Azealia Banks Drags Rihanna For Getting With “Butch Queen” A$AP Rocky While Defending Chris Brown 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Azealia Banks slammed Rihanna and A$AP Rocky while defending Chris Brown and calling out critics for canceling the singer. 

The controversial artist has spent the past couple of days ranting about the industry and her peers in her Instagram Stories. On Wednesday night (Jun 5), she turned to Chris Brown. Banks branded Brown “the best artist of this generation,” and described the backlash over his assault on Rihanna as “self-righteous b#######.” 

Banks then went in on Rihanna, claiming A$AP Rocky is gay and suggesting the Fenty billionaire would have been better off with Chris Brown.  

“Look at who she’s with now,” Banks began. “A n#### that wears back-out shirts. He’s on camera shooting one of his best friends … on camera kicking a female fan in the face. Really?” 

She continued, trashing A$AP Rocky’s rapping abilities and accusing him of hiding his sexuality. “Rocky’s definitely a butch queen. I don’t know how nobody told Rihanna that. Maybe she like it, maybe she’s into that stuff. But Rocky’s definitely not a straight man,” Banks added. 

“Are we really responsible for trying to make Chris Brown’s life a living hell if sis is not responsible enough to make good choices of partner? It’s kinda weird,” Banks stated. “Rihanna’s done a lot of menacing and a lot of f###### with b###### just to end up with a gay boy. A broke untalented gay boy at that.” 

Azalea Banks Goes In On Cardi B, Doja Cat, Ice Spice & Bia

Meanwhile, elsewhere in her characteristic tirade, Azealia Banks threatened to rip Doja Cat’s top off and ridiculed Bia over her Cardi B diss. She also had words for the “Like That” hitmaker and Ice Spice, among others. 

“Cardi you got to at least try because there’s no merit in reading everybody else’s s### off the page,” Banks said. “And lord knows I love me some Miss. Ice Spice, but a lot needed to be done after ‘Munch.’ All of the rest of the singles pale into comparison.”

Drake Deletes His Kendrick Lamar Diss Tracks From Instagram

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

The headline-generating Drake versus Kendrick Lamar battle continues to make news. After the two Hip-Hop superstars’ years-long feud came to a head in 2024, Hip-Hop fans closely followed the rivalry’s updates.

For instance, social media users recently noticed Drake removed a post about his diss track “The Heart Part 6” from his Instagram page. That move by the OVO Sound leader sparked questions.

Then Drake also took down his “Push Ups” and “Family Matters” Instagram posts. The For All the Dogs album creator has not publicly explained the deletions as of press time.

While Instagram no longer houses those diss records directed at Kendrick Lamar, OVO fans can still listen to “Push Ups” and “Family Matters” on DSPs.

Drizzy pulled the controversial “Taylor Made Freestyle” from Instagram in April following a legal threat from the Tupac Shakur estate. The song featured artificial intelligence-created Tupac Shakur and Snoop Dogg verses.

Previously, Drake seemingly expressed his desire to move on from his beef with Kendrick Lamar. In May, he wrote on his Instagram Story, “Good times. Summer vibes up next.”

The first musical offerings from Drake following the highly-publicized clash with Lamar polarized listeners. Sexyy Red tapped him for “U My Everything.” A track titled “Wah Gwan Delilah” featuring Drizzy also hit the internet.

Lil Durk Kicks Drug Addiction In Rehab, Now Plans Treatment Facility In Chicago 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Lil Durk revealed he checked himself into rehab to treat his addiction to Codeine and Xanax and now plans to build a treatment facility to help others in his hometown. 

In a recent interview, the Grammy Award winner admitted he just returned from a rehab stint. Durk said he intends to “embrace” his time in the facility and be vocal about his journey to inspire others to seek help. 

“It was tough at first, but it ain’t that tough ’cause I really knew what I wanted. I knew what was holding me back,” he said, before adding, “I wanted better. I want to be a better man, a better father, a better leader.” 

The Chicago native realized he needed to get his life back on track before he could help anybody else. “It helped a lot,” Lil Durk said of his time in rehab. He also revealed he wrote music with greater clarity during his spell in treatment.  

“My main goal is peace, being with the family and staying out of b#######,” he added. “I just see myself staying on the right track and trying to change a lot of lives.” 

Lil Durk believes he can help tackle the stigma surrounding rebab with his facility. “If I do it, they gonna do it,” he said.  “From here on, it’s all action. 

Durk also opened up about his mission to curb violence in Chicago. “I’ve been talking to a lot of the bloggers,” he said, insisting they “narrate” the violence. “Everybody ain’t gonna change but we gonna save as many people as we could.” 

Earlier this year, Lil Durk admitted that a past Percocet addiction led to him having a pacemaker fitted.   

“I was takin’ so many pills, I was so high, I really abused it/Started sellin’ Percs, I turned around and started to use it,” he rapped on “Old Days.” “Had to get a pacemaker/My heart was skippin’ deuces.” 

Meanwhile, Lil Durk confirmed his commitment to ending gun violence in his hometown during a recent appearance on the Big Facts Podcast. 

“The number one priority for us in the streets and politician-wise, is to stop the violence and slow it down as much as possible. It starts with everybody just coming together,” Durk stated.  

Drake Bets Whopping $1M On NBA & NHL Playoffs 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Drake is continuing his run of high-stakes sporting bets with two wagers on upcoming NBA and NHL playoffs games totaling a jaw-dropping $1 million. 

The OVO honcho kept a relatively low profile following his epic battle with Kendrick Lamar, until earlier this week when he left fans baffled after joining fellow Toronto native Snowd4y on “Wah Gwan Delilah.”  

However, he has been indulging in his love of sports. On Thursday (May 23), Drizzy popped out to support his hometown’s latest sports franchise for his first public appearance following the feud. He attended an event to celebrate the WNBA’s plan to expand the league with a new team in Toronto. 

Now, the serial gambler is turning his attention to the NBA and NHL playoffs. On Wednesday (Jun 5) Drake took to Instagram to share his latest wagers. He placed two $500,000 bets on the Dallas Mavericks and the Edmonton Oilers to win game 4 of their respective playoff games on June 15.  

If his teams win, Drake stands to more than double his stake. “Dallas cause I’m a Texan Oilers are self explanatory,” he wrote in the caption.

Drake is no stranger to gambling eye-watering sums on his favorite teams and athletes. Back in 2022, he reportedly bet over $1.25 million on Super Bowl LVI in a total of three different bets.  

He won two of them and lost one after the Los Angeles Rams beat the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20 and made more than a quarter of a million. 

50 Cent Jokes About Lauren Boebert Groping Scandal After Backlash Over Viral Photo-Op 

By: London JennnCategory: News

50 Cent was catching heat after taking a selfie with controversial Colorado Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert during his recent trip to Washington, D.C.

On Wednesday (June 5), the entertainment mogul met with several members of the United States government at Capitol Hill and The White House amid his ongoing and long-running battle with spirits company Beam Suntory. 

However, one photo-op had fans branding 50 Cent a “sellout” after posing with scandal-ridden GOP representative Lauren Boebert. He took to Instagram to address the backlash while referencing Boebert’s infamous groping incident.  

“Wait, wait, guys i took pictures with everyone and all you seem to care about is Lauren,” 50 Cent wrote in the caption. “What did she do in a dark theater that hasn’t been done, my God ! Hey I don’t have chlamydia by the way. LOL”  

Instagram/50 Cent

However, fans were quick to voice their disapproval in the comments section, with many claiming the backlash stems from the staunch Trump ally’s politics and not the 2023 theatre scandal. 

“We don’t care what she does in dark theaters, what bothers us is what she does in Congress,” one person wrote.  

“It’s not her giving a handy,” said another. “It’s her spreading antisemitism, anti LGBTQIA rhetoric, and so much more. She votes with those who want to get rid of contraception and abortions.” 

The criticism arose after 50 Cent shared the photo while noting Lauren Boebert makes “the white house look good.” 

One user branded the photo-op the “weirdest post of all time,” while others questioned if he lost his mind. 

“But why would you even take a picture with this embarrassment to Congress?” read one complaint.

Ray J Claims OnlyFans Would Not Exist Without Kim Kardashian Sex Tape 

By: London JennnCategory: Rumors

Ray J claims his infamous sex tape with Kim Kardashian changed “everything,” and the world would be an entirely different place if the recording never came to light. 

According to the reality television personality, the 2007 tape changed the course of popular culture, leading to the creation of OnlyFans and a possible decline in college admissions.  

Ray J opened up about the impact of the tape during an appearance on the latest episode of Club Shay Shay after Shannon Sharpe asked how different his life would be without it. 

“The question is, how different would we all be,” he replied. “How different would this whole f###### thing be? How different would this industry be?” Answering his question, he added, “Everything would be different. We would all be different. All of us.” 

Elaborating on his bold answer, Ray J continued. “Probably more people would be going to college and getting an education to be successful. There might not be any OnlyFans and other opportunities like that,” he added. 

“So, are we a part of the cure or we a part of the disease? I don’t f###### know. All I know is I’m trying to make it right,” Ray J stated. 

When Sharpe asked if he was “embarrassed when the tape came out,” Ray J paused for a long time before responding.  

“Yeah,” Ray J admitted. “I have kids now. Everything that we did, now, when I have kids, is totally different. The whole thing is wacky. With my kids it’s not ok.” 

Reason Believes Ice Spice & Her Team Made Grave Error With Debut Album Artwork

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: Rumors

TDE rapper Reason believes Ice Spice’s team lacks critical thinking and attention to details skills.

In the wake of the “Deli” rapper sharing the cover artwork ahead of the July 26 release date of her upcoming debut album, Y2K, Reason couldn’t help but voice his own personal opinion about the visual direction of the project.

Opting for a thematic urban landscape theme, the Y2K cover showcases integral elements of New York City—such as the subway—and is stamped with Ice Spice’s signature.

Additionally, the Y2K album title itself is spraypainted on a trash can in a colorful graffiti tag format and is positioned adjacent to Ice Spice herself. In a quoted reply to the album announcement he shared on Twitter (X), Reason trashed the cover and criticized Ice Spice’s team for giving it the green light.

“Nobody caught putting the name on a trash can as a mistake? Being serious like somebody on the team gotta catch that right?” Reason wrote in the tweet

Users quickly flocked to the comment section of the post, where they both doubled down on Reason’s criticism, in addition to challenging it.

“Its ice spice not kdot its not music u need to think about,” one user trolled while another hit back directly in a reply that reads, “Her music makes her label more than his does TDE… he shouldn’t even be talking.”

It’s worth noting the user who claimed Ice Spice’s music catalog is more lucrative than Kendrick Lamar’s was accosted and labeled an “OV-Ho” for their remarks.

Considering it’s clear the cover was specifically crafted to cater to a gritty and NYC-centric ambiance, it’s hard to believe that Ice Spice’s team would have designed anything on it by mistake. One could also infer that the album title appearing on the trashcan may be a strategic tactic to drum up discussion and boost engagement on social posts announcing the release.

And it’s not like Ice Spice hasn’t previously leaned into less-than-flattering marketing strategies, i.e. the viral video of her putting on heels and proceeding to bite the dust after taking one step.

No matter the case, it will certainly be interesting to see how both this album cover and Reason’s tweet ages over the course of the next few months.

50 Cent Poses With Republican & Democrat Reps Amid Capitol Hill Hearing—Including Boebert

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: News

50 Cent may be ramping up his support of and or alignment with both conservative and liberal representatives amid his ongoing and long-running battle with spirits company Beam Suntory.

On Wednesday (June 5), the G-Unit Films mogul shared a series of posts on Instagram in which he was pictured side-by-side with elite members of the United States government during his trip to Capitol Hill and The White House with civil right attorney Ben Crump.

During his time in Washington D.C., 50 Cent visited with several congressional members including democratic reps Joyce Beatty (Ohio), Troy Carter (Louisiana) and former House speaker Nancy Pelosi.

In a photo he posted with Atlanta rep Nikema Williams, 50 Cent joked that he turned down her invitation to visit the city because “we already got Tyler [Perry] out there.” The most popular photo he shared, though, featured controversial Colorado Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert pinning her hair back as 50 Cent wrapped his arm around her waist.

“Lauren Boebert, Colorado Republican making the white house look good,” 50 Cent wrote in the post.

In addition to attracting more t han 70,000 likes within an hour, the post drew a number of notable public figures to the comment section, including former Rap City host Big Tigger.

“lol. She wanna g#### Fif too,” Tigger remarked, referring to Boerbert’s checkered past.

Boebert has been no stranger to controversy throughout her political career, frequently making headlines for her actions and statements. Among her many scandals, Boebert has faced criticism for her hardline stance on gun rights, once famously posing with a group of young children all holding firearms for a holiday card, which drew widespread backlash.

Last year, Boebert found herself embroiled in yet another scandal when she was reportedly kicked out of a Denver theatre for inappropriate behavior. Witnesses claimed she was vaping and groping her date’s groin during a performance, actions that were deemed disruptive and unacceptable by the theatre staff and reportedly prompted her removal.

Overall, it seems the “Window Shopper” rapper utilized his moment with the reps he posed with to his benefit, as he continued to apply pressure to Beam Sentry in subsequent posts.

50 Cent recently promised to take his grievances against Beam Suntory to Congress, after accusing employees of stealing millions of dollars from his brands, the dispute snowballed into a $6 million lawsuit.

“No matter what level you make it to there will always be obstacles,” 50 Cent wrote in a follow-up post. “@suntorygloblespirits insists on letting this be a on going problem. OK here we go!”

SIGNS: Wisconsin High School Graduate’s White Father Pushed Black Superintendent To Block Handshake

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: Rumors

An unwarranted assault incident unfolded at a recent graduation ceremony in Wisconsin, promoting rumors of racism to disrupt what should have been a joyous celebration.

As the graduates of Baraboo High School were receiving their diplomas, a father, who hasn’t been identified in order to protect his daughter, pushed Superintendent Rainey Briggs away from his daughter forcibly negating their congratulatory handshake.

Briggs, a Black man, was approached by the graduate’s father, a white male dressed in a white polo shirt and baseball cap, after he ran onto the stage just moments after his daughter had been handed her diploma. School officials, including School Board President Kevin Vodak, and board members Gwynne Peterson, Katie Kalish, Amy DeLong, and Baraboo High School Principal Steve Considine, were all also present on stage during the incident but were not approached by the man.

Once the father reached the stage, he grabbed Briggs by the right arm and pushed him out of frame away from the girl.

“That’s my daughter,” the man was heard shouting in a video captured of the tense incident. Briggs responded, “You better get up off me man. Get away from me bro,” as staff and three police officers, including the school resource officer, intervened.

The confrontation did not escalate further, thanks to the prompt intervention of the officers who escorted the man off the stage and out of the venue. The district later confirmed that a disorderly conduct charge has been referred to the Sauk County District Attorney’s Office.

In a statement, the School District of Baraboo emphasized their commitment to student safety following the incident.

“Our primary focus remains on celebrating the achievements of our graduates. We want to ensure that the significance of this milestone and the hard work of our students are not overshadowed by this unfortunate event,” said district spokesperson Hailey Wagner.

The incident took place reportedly as a particularly volatile atmosphere hovers above the school district. A significant group of residents, including former district employees, have been vocally critical of Briggs and other administrators, and are currently attempting to recall School Board President Vodak. The recall campaign is currently in full swing and requires over 2,500 signatures by July 14 to force a recall election, which, if successful, could take place as early as late August or early September.

The school district confirmed an investigation is underway and assured the community that it is taking the incident very seriously and is working closely with law enforcement to ensure the safety and well-being of all students, staff, and community members.

Melyssa Ford Blasts “Lying” Cam’ron As Their Feud Refuses To Die

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Melyssa Ford responded to accusations made by Cam’ron in a freestyle on his sports talk show It Is What It Is. Cam’ron claimed Ford reached out to music executives Kevin Liles and Steve Stoute to intervene in her feud with the Dipset rapper.

“A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth even gets out of bed and puts its pants on,” Ford wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter). “That [ninja emoji] is lying. I didn’t call anyone to deal with that bullsh**. And he’s still talking about it 6 months later. It’s giving… [thinkin emojis].”

Cam’ron mentioned Ford on the June 3 episode of It Is What It Is. Killa Cam referenced their beef, his infamous CNN interview and much more in a freestyle to open the show.

“Melyssa Ford called Kevin Liles/And Steve Stoute, what they gonna do? I’m Mr. Giles/We good, boo, Killa feeling better now/But don’t ever put my name near the word…” he rapped.

Cam’ron and Ford’s issues stemmed from her comments on a 2023 episode of the Joe Budden Podcast. The video vixen-turned-podcaster insinuated Cam’ron had sex with minors in reaction to a story about him going to a brothel in the ‘90s. Ford later apologized for her remarks.

“I apologize,” she said. “I should never have made that insinuation.”

Cam’ron didn’t accept her apology. He claimed it wasn’t genuine and threatened to sue her for defamation.

Kendrick Lamar Turns His Focus To Juneteenth After Heated Drake Battle

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Kendrick Lamar plotted his next move following his memorable battle against Drake. K. Dot surprised fans by announcing a Juneteenth concert at The Forum in Inglewood, California.

“pgLang & Free Lunch Present The Pop Out: Ken & Friends,” Kendrick’s Instagram Stories post read. “June 19 The Forum. Exclusive Cash App card pre-sale Thursday, June 6. General on-sale Friday, June 7.”

The Cash App pre-sale is scheduled to go live at 10 a.m. PDT. It will end at 10 p.m. on Thursday with the general sale launching at 10 a.m. on Friday.

Kendrick’s concert will be his first time performing since he traded diss tracks with Drake. Their beef was fruitful for K. Dot, who scored two No. 1 hits by lyrically attacking Drake.

The battle began when Kendrick dissed Drake on Future and Metro Boomin’s song “Like That,” which reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Drake responded with “Push Ups” and “Taylor Made Freestyle.” Kendrick fired back with “Euphoria” and “6:16 in LA.” “Euphoria” was produced by Cardo, who worked with both rappers and spoke about their feud in May.

“I respect them both,” Cardo said. “They’re both somebody I f### with. I’ve made history with both of them. And it’s good for Hip-Hop. Dot is the type of guy that will challenge anybody. He’ll challenge people in a game of hopscotch. He’s a competitive dude.”

Kendrick and Drake’s battle reached a new level once the latter dropped the diss track “Family Matters.” K. Dot quickly upstaged Drake by releasing “Meet the Grahams” less than an hour later. Kendrick unleashed his knockout blow “Not Like Us” the next day.

Drake reacted by dropping “The Heart Part 6,” but it failed to make as much of an impact as Kendrick’s songs. “Not Like Us” became a hit single, breaking streaming records and debuting at No. 1 on the Hot 100.

Lika O, the dazzling pop sensation, has been making waves in the music industry with her remarkable talent and electrifying performances. Despite her rising popularity and success, she has not escaped the scrutiny of detractors. From baseless accusations to online vitriol, her haters seem relentless. However, it’s crucial to understand that much of this negativity stems from jealousy and a lack of understanding of her journey and accomplishments.

A Rising Star Under the Spotlight

Lika O’s impressive resume speaks volumes about her talent and hard work. She has collaborated with music industry heavyweight Charlie Walk, performed in the iconic Times Square, and graced the stage at the Official Jingle Ball Afterparty alongside Ludacris. Her magnetic presence was also showcased on NBC’s California Live and in an episode of Vanderpump Rules. Moreover, her appearance on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar stands as a testament to her rising influence in the entertainment world. Her music videos produced by the iconic and legendary producer of “How to loose a guy in 10 days”.

Debunking the Myths: The Real Lika O

Some online haters label Lika Osipova as “fake,” but these accusations lack substance. In the age of social media, it’s easy to hide behind anonymous profiles and hurl baseless accusations. Furthermore, these haters are spreading fake news to put Lika O down. Let’s look at the facts:

Collaborations with Industry Titans: Working with Charlie Walk, a figure known for recognizing true talent, underscores Lika O’s authenticity and skill. He has shaped the music industry by developing iconic artists like Taylor Swift, The Weeknd, Beyoncé, JLo, Ariana Grande, Drake, Mariah Carey, Shakira, Shawn Mendes, Post Malone, Camila Cabello, Demi Lovato, Zendaya, John Legend, the Jonas Brothers, and other big stars.

Walk’s association with her is a clear endorsement of her capabilities and potential. 

High-Profile Performances: Performing in Times Square on Halloween and at high-profile events like the Official Jingle Ball Afterparty is no small feat. These platforms are reserved for artists who have proven their mettle, and Lika O’s inclusion in such events highlights her genuine appeal and popularity.

Media Appearances: Featuring on NBC’s California Live and Bravo’s Vanderpump Rules indicates her versatility and acceptance across different media formats. These appearances are carefully curated, and only artists with a real, engaging persona make the cut.

Fashion Icon: Being on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar is a significant accomplishment, reflecting not just her musical prowess but also her influence in the fashion industry. This achievement showcases her as a multifaceted artist who resonates with diverse audiences.

Lika O is always a special guest at prestigious events such as the Academy Awards, the Grammys, the Emmy Awards, and exclusive world movie premieres. Her recent appearance at the Grammys earned her recognition from Vogue Magazine as one of the best-dressed celebrities , and she was featured in Deadline, the New York Post, Vogue USA, and other high-profile media outlets.

 Just named a few from all her accomplishments. 

The Root of Hatred: Jealousy and Misunderstanding

Haters love Lika O; they are making her even more popular and drawing attention to her personality.

The negative comments and baseless accusations hurled at Lika O are often rooted in jealousy. Her rapid rise to fame, undeniable talent, and glamorous presence can evoke envy. It’s essential to recognize that criticism is often a reflection of the online bot critic’s insecurities and not a true measure of the artist’s worth. 

Moreover, the term “fake” is frequently misused by those who fail to grasp the hard work and dedication that goes into building a successful career in the entertainment industry. Lika O’s achievements are a result of relentless effort, talent, and a strategic approach to her career.

The Bright Future Ahead

Despite the negativity, Lika O continues to shine brightly. Her growing list of accomplishments and her unwavering fanbase are testaments to her genuine talent and appeal. As she continues to break new ground and reach new heights, it’s clear that the voices of her haters are nothing more than background noise.

In conclusion, Lika O is a true star who deserves recognition and respect for her contributions to music and entertainment. Her haters might be loud, but her talent and achievements speak louder. Jealousy and misunderstanding cannot overshadow the brilliance of a genuine star.

Kingston, whose real name is Kisean Anderson, was released on a $100,000 bond on Tuesday (June 4). He reportedly used his mortgage as collateral. His mother got out of jail a week earlier, posting a $160,000 bond in May. She faced eight charges for her alleged role in the fraud scheme.

Robert Rosenblatt, one of the attorneys representing Kingston, insisted his client did not commit any crimes.

“I don’t know who is claiming they owe money,” Rosenblatt told CBS Miami. “We were aware of the watches, we are aware of the TV issue.”

He added, “If there are other issues I’m not sure about … It’s a breach of contract. There’s no fraud here. There’s no organized fraud at all.”

Rosenblatt said he was “very confident” Kingston’s charges would eventually be dismissed.

Is 50 Cent Supporting Donald Trump In 2024 Presidential Election?

By: Justin IveyCategory: Rumors

50 Cent admitted he’s an undecided voter ahead of the 2024 presidential election. A reporter asked the G-Unit boss if he stood by his past endorsement of Donald Trump after a Capitol Hill press conference on Wednesday (June 5).

“I’m not sure how to answer that question, to be honest with you,” 50 Cent said.

The reporter responded with a follow-up question, inquiring if 50 Cent made any decision regarding this year’s presidential race.

“I haven’t,” he said.

50 Cent went to Capitol Hill to speak with congressional leaders about his dispute with Suntory Global Spirits. He hired well-known attorney Benjamin Crump, who seemed eager to avoid the Trump-related questions, ahead of the trip to Washington, D.C.

“I am pleased to join the legal team representing Curtis ‘50 Cent’ Jackson, as he is one of the most successful Black entrepreneurs in America, and even he is not immune to the bias treatment that faces minority business owners everyday,” Crump said. “He has been relentless in his fight to seek fairness and justice over the way he was treated by a corporate giant in the luxury spirits industry. Mr. Jackson’s journey has been a testament to how much a determined individual can succeed through hard work and vision, and yet he still must contend with the oppression that comes from being a minority business owner.”

50 Cent previously encouraged his Instagram followers to vote for Trump over tax concerns in 2020. The outspoken rapper backtracked following criticism from his ex-girlfriend Chelsea Handler.

“F### Donald Trump, I never liked him,” he wrote after she called him out in 2020.

50 Cent appeared to be flirting with the idea of supporting Trump in 2024. The Power franchise’s producer said, “Maybe Trump is the answer,” in reaction to New York’s migrant debit card program in February. 50 Cent also mentioned he thought Trump would be president again in March.

Those sentiments were expressed before Trump was convicted of 34 counts of falsifying business records. 50 Cent laughed at Trump receiving millions of dollars in donations following the guilty verdict, joking that “the world’s almost over just enjoy the moment and be happy” on Sunday (June 2).

Donald Trump Jr. Lashes Out At Eminem Over Viral Election Rumor

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Donald Trump Jr. attacked Eminem over a baseless rumor involving Em and the 2024 presidential election on Wednesday (June 3). Trump Jr. helped spread a right-wing X (formerly known as Twitter) user’s post, which claimed Eminem plans to leave the country if Donald Trump Sr. gets re-elected.

“Are you really telling me that’s not Ellen DeGeneres????” Trump Jr. wrote, commenting on an Eminem photo attached to the viral post.

The original post received over 2 million views as MAGA supporters jumped on the unsubstantiated claim. X’s community notes feature tried to mitigate the misinformation by adding a disclaimer.

There was no evidence of Eminem saying he would leave the country, but the superstar made no secret he’s anti-Trump. Eminem famously bashed the former president in a cypher for the 2017 BET Hip-Hop Awards.

“Trump, when it comes to giving a s###, you’re stingy as I am/Except when it comes to having the balls to go against me, you hide ’em/’Cause you don’t got the f###### nuts like an empty asylum/Racism’s the only thing he’s fantastic for/’Cause that’s how he gets his f###### rocks off and he’s orange/Yeah, sick tan/That’s why he wants us to disband/’Cause he cannot withstand/The fact we’re not afraid of Trump/F### walking on egg shells, I came to stomp/That’s why he keeps screaming, ‘Drain the swamp!’/’Cause he’s in quicksand,” he rapped.

Eminem concluded, “And any fan of mine who’s a supporter of his/I’m drawing in the sand a line, you’re either for or against/And if you can’t decide who you like more and you’re split/On who you should stand beside, I’ll do it for you with this: f### you!/The rest of America, stand up/We love our military, and we love our country/But we f###### hate Trump.”

Trump Sr. was convicted of 34 counts of falsifying business records in May. He is scheduled to be sentenced on July 11.
