Will Smith cracked open the lid on his possible return to the Men in Black universe during a podcast appearance where he revealed Sony had just pitched him a new sequel only hours before he went on air.

“Literally this morning, an hour before I came down here, they just threw the bag for another Men in Black,” Smith said on the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast. “I was like, ‘Ah, I’m supposed to be going on tour this summer!'”

The Oscar winner told Gillie Da Kid and Wallo he had previously sworn off sequels.

“I told myself I was done with sequels,” he explained, adding, “I was like, ‘I’ve made enough sequels. I got some new things I want to make.'”

Despite his initial reluctance, the timing of the offer and the size of the deal appear to have made him reconsider.

Smith hinted that if he accepts, filming wouldn’t begin until after his summer tour, which runs from June 25 through September 2.

Sony is reportedly eager to redeem itself after the underwhelming reception of 2019’s Men in Black: International, which did not feature Smith or his longtime co-star Tommy Lee Jones.

The studio is said to believe that Smith’s absence contributed to the film’s lackluster performance and is now looking to reunite the original duo for a fifth installment.

The Men in Black franchise has pulled in nearly $1.94 billion globally since its 1997 debut, making it one of Sony’s most valuable properties.

Will Smith has not confirmed whether he’ll officially sign on for Men in Black 5, but the offer is clearly on the table.

Meanwhile, Smith recently released his latest album, Based on a True Story. Released on March 28, it marks Smith’s first musical project in 20 years since Lost and Found (2005).

Viola Davis Confesses Her Regret Over Misjudging Chadwick Boseman Before His Passing

Viola Davis admitted she misread Chadwick Boseman‘s need for special care on the set of Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom before learning he was quietly battling colon cancer.

In a conversation with The Times, Davis reflected on her initial reaction to Boseman’s on-set routine, which included massages and calming music provided by his girlfriend and makeup artist.

“There was a part of me that was a little judgmental — why do you need all that?” she said. “Little did I know that they were doing it because he was dying.”

Boseman, who died in August 2020 at age 43, had kept his diagnosis private from nearly everyone, including his co-stars.

He was first diagnosed with stage three colon cancer in 2016, which later advanced to stage four. Despite undergoing surgeries and chemotherapy, he continued to work in physically demanding roles, including Marshall, Da 5 Bloods and Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom.

Davis said she felt remorse after learning the truth, praising Boseman’s strength and commitment to his craft.

She previously called him a “beautiful man and artist” and said his legacy extends far beyond his role as King T’Challa in Black Panther. She added that his authenticity and integrity will continue influencing generations of actors.

“He was a hero not just for Black Panther but for being who he was,” Davis said during a previous interview with The Guardian, shortly after Chadwick Boseman’s passing in 2020.

Boseman’s final performance in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom earned him a posthumous Academy Award nomination and a Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Male Actor.

He died at his Los Angeles home on August 28, 2020, surrounded by his wife, Taylor Simone Ledward and family.

The project arrives nearly 15 years after the original Kush & Orange Juice crashed mixtape sites and trended globally on Twitter and Google.

Khalifa confirmed the sequel was finished in March, telling fans it was “done and going into mixing.”

Since then, he’s released a string of singles teasing the album’s sound, including “5 Star” with Gunna, “Bring Your Lungs” featuring Smoke DZA, “Hide It” with Don Toliver, “Hit It Once” and “Khalifa’s Home.”

The original Kush & Orange Juice dropped on April 14, 2010, as a free download and quickly became a viral phenomenon.

The hashtag #kushandorangejuice dominated social media and the buzz helped Khalifa land a major label deal with Atlantic Records later that year.

Now, with Kush + Orange Juice 2 on the horizon, Wiz Khalifa is also gearing up to hit the road. His “Taylor Gang The World” tour kicks off May 20 in Nashville and will hit 20 cities, including Sacramento, Minneapolis and Kansas City. Chevy Woods Fedd the God and DJ Bonics are set to join him on all dates.

Elon Musk’s Baby Mama Feud Explodes: $500K Per Year & DNA Test Drama

By: London Jennn Updated Category: Rumors
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

Elon Musk claims he has given $2.5 million to political commentator Ashley St. Clair while admitting he’s unsure whether her 5-month-old son is his, after she sold her Tesla and accused him of slashing child support payments.

The Tesla CEO took to his social media platform to put St. Clair on blast on Monday (March 31.)

“I don’t know if the child is mine or not, but am not against finding out,” he tweeted. “No court order is needed. Despite not knowing for sure, I have given Ashley $2.5M and am sending her $500k/year.”

St. Clair, who filed a paternity suit in Manhattan Supreme Court, quickly fired back.

“Elon, we asked you to confirm paternity through a test before our child (who you named) was even born. You refused,” she wrote. “And you weren’t sending me money, you were sending support for your child that you thought was necessary… until you withdrew most of it to maintain control and punish me for ‘disobedience.’ But you’re really only punishing your son,” she continued.

The dispute erupted after St. Clair appeared in a video showing her selling her Tesla Model S, which she said Musk had gifted her.

She claimed the sale was necessary after Musk allegedly cut child support by 60 percent. She claimed Musk was “vindictive,” adding, “That’s his modus operandi when women speak out.”

Musk has not confirmed paternity but said he is open to taking a DNA test. St. Clair insists the child was conceived during a January 2024 trip to St. Barts and says Musk told her to keep the pregnancy private.

She also alleges he provided her with housing and security during that time.

Their relationship reportedly began in May 2023 after St. Clair interviewed Musk for The Babylon Bee. Since then, the fallout has spilled across social media, with Musk responding to far-right influencer Laura Loomer’s criticism of St. Clair by labeling her a “gold digger” and “professional gaslighter.”

Elon Musk Accused Of Using His Platform To “Gag” Ex In Paternity Battle

St. Clair accused Musk of using his platform to smear her while attempting to silence her through legal means.

“It’s ironic that your last effort in court was to try to gag me while you use a social media channel you literally own to distribute derogatory messages about me and our child to the entire world,” she wrote. “It’s all about control with you, and everyone can see it. America needs you to grow up, you petulant man-child.”

EXCLUSIVE: Diddy Keeps Winning In Court & Trouble Is Brewing For Accusers

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

Sean “Diddy” Combs saw another legal complaint against him tossed out on Monday (March 31) in federal court after a woman using the alias “Jane Doe” failed to meet a court-ordered deadline to reveal her real name in a civil lawsuit tied to an alleged decades-old incident.

U.S. District Judge Lewis J. Liman dismissed the case on March 31 after the plaintiff missed the March 20 deadline to refile her complaint under her legal name.

The court had previously denied her request to proceed anonymously and she did not ask for an extension. With no amended complaint submitted, the judge closed the case and terminated all pending motions.

“Today a federal judge dismissed a lawsuit filed against Mr. Combs by Texas attorney Anthony Buzbee and his local counsel Antigone Curis on behalf of an anonymized plaintiff,” a spokesperson for Combs said in a statement. “This is now the second case brought by these attorneys against Mr. Combs that has been dismissed in its entirety. It will not be the last. For months, we have seen case after case filed by individuals hiding behind anonymity, pushed forward by attorneys more focused on media headlines than legal merit. The other claims, like the one dismissed today, also will not hold up in a court of law.”

The dismissal adds to a growing list of legal setbacks for Buzbee and Curis, who have filed multiple lawsuits against Combs in the Southern District of New York.

On March 28, Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil issued an Order to Show Cause against Curis in a separate case, questioning why she should not face sanctions for submitting conflicting documents related to Buzbee’s denied pro hac vice admission.

Curis had filed an affidavit claiming Buzbee had never been denied admission to any court. However, she also submitted an order showing his application had been rejected by the Southern District of New York.

Meanwhile, Combs’ legal team has pushed back hard against Buzbee’s involvement in these cases.

In a February 26 filing, they accused him of “egregious misconduct,” including practicing law without authorization in 22 cases in the district, failing to disclose his lack of admission and making public comments suggesting Combs’ guilt in unrelated criminal matters.

“In our collective decades of practice, undersigned counsel have never opposed a pro hac vice application, and we do not do so lightly here,” the filing stated. “But Buzbee’s egregious misconduct warrants denial of the privilege of appearing in this District.”

Buzbee has since moved to withdraw from all lawsuits he filed against Combs in the Southern District.

Additional rulings in related cases have also raised questions about the credibility of filings submitted by Buzbee and Curis.

On March 27, Judge Jennifer L. Rochon rejected anonymity requests in two separate lawsuits involving alleged incidents from 1991 and 1998.

In her written opinion, she noted that Buzbee’s declarations were “substantively identical to declarations filed on the same day in other Doe v. Combs cases in this District involving different plaintiffs and facts.”

Judge John P. Cronan issued a similar directive in another case filed by Buzbee on behalf of a male plaintiff who alleged an incident occurred in 2022.

That plaintiff was also ordered to refile under his real name by April 4, 2025.

The next major development in these related cases is expected on April 14, when Judge Vyskocil will hold the sanctions hearing for Curis.

This is the second legal victory for Diddy in the past two weeks, coming on the heels of a federal judge’s grueling that significantly pared down Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones’ blockbuster lawsuit against Diddy.

The lawsuit originally stemmed from Jones’ work on Diddy’s The Love Album: Off the Grid.

In that ruling, the judge dismissed the civil RICO claim along with allegations of breach of contract and both intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress.

Diddy’s legal team argued the case was simply a “garden variety breach of contract” dressed up as a federal racketeering suit, and the court agreed, tossing out some of the lawsuit’s most serious accusations.

While five major claims were dropped, 14 other causes of action still remain.

Drake Called Out Over Kendrick Lamar Parallels In New “Nokia” Music Video

By: London Jennn Updated Category: Rumors

Drake faced fresh scrutiny over his “Nokia” music video after social media users accused him of mimicking Kendrick Lamar’s visual style and thematic choices from “Not Like Us.”

Released Monday (March 31), the black-and-white “Nokia” video—shot in IMAX and directed by Theo Skudra—features the rapper throwing elaborate parties, rollerblading through neon-lit scenes and coordinating it all with a retro flip phone. 

But it wasn’t the cinematic flair or the cameo from NBA star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander that drew the most attention—it was the alleged similarities to Lamar’s work.

Viewers quickly pointed out that Drake’s dance sequence bore a striking resemblance to one K. Dot performed in “Not Like Us.” 

Others highlighted the presence of dancers styled similarly to those in Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show. 

One of the most talked-about moments came at the end of “Nokia,” when an owl—Drake’s signature OVO symbol—flies freely across the screen, a move some interpreted as a counter to Lamar’s use of a caged animal in his own video.

The comparisons didn’t stop there. Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” featured NBA player DeMar DeRozan, while Drake’s “Nokia” included Gilgeous-Alexander. Some online speculated that the basketball-themed cameos were more than coincidence.

Screenshots and side-by-side clips flooded social media as users debated whether the similarities were coincidence or something more calculated. Theories ranged from strategic trolling to a more profound commentary on their creative competition.

Despite the chatter, “Nokia” continues to climb the charts, sitting at No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 as of its release week.

Wendy Williams Fans To Protest Coast-To-Coast Over “Prison-Like” Guardianship

Wendy Williams will reportedly be the focus of coast-to-coast protests on April 1 as supporters rally in New York and Los Angeles, demanding an end to her court-ordered guardianship and calling attention to what they describe as her unjust confinement in a Manhattan memory care facility.

According to social media posts, demonstrators will gather at 10 a.m. local time outside Coterie Hudson Yards in New York and at her Hollywood Walk of Fame star in Los Angeles as part of the growing #FreeWendy campaign.

The movement seeks to terminate the legal arrangement that has controlled Williams’ finances, medical care and personal life since 2022.

The former daytime talk show host, who was diagnosed in 2023 with frontotemporal dementia and primary progressive aphasia, is expected to show her support from inside the assisted living facility until 2 p.m. ET, according to organizers.

Wendy Williams Hospitalized

The protests come just weeks after Wendy Williams was hospitalized following a wellness check by police on March 10. 

Officers responded after she allegedly tossed a handwritten note from her window that read, “Help! Wendy!!” Medics transported her to Mount Sinai West Hospital, where she underwent a psychological evaluation.

Williams has since claimed she passed a mental competency test with a perfect score and intends to use the results to challenge her guardianship in court. 

She has long maintained that she is mentally sound and does not belong in the facility, describing her surroundings as isolating and saying she spends most of her time alone among elderly residents with severe memory loss.

“I feel like I’m in prison,” Williams has said in previous public statements slamming the guardianship.

Her family has also spoken out. Relatives have launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise $50,000 for legal expenses. The fundraiser is aimed at helping her regain control over her life and finances.

Williams has been under guardianship since 2022 following concerns about her health and finances. The court-appointed arrangement has remained in place despite her repeated objections and public pleas for independence.

Cardi B Makes Power Move With New Beauty & Fashion Brands—Unveils First Look

Cardi B has unveiled a high-stakes fashion and beauty partnership with Revolve Group, taking her growing business empire to the next level.

The Grammy Award-winning rapper is stepping into the business spotlight with a joint venture that will roll out clothing and beauty lines, significantly expanding her influence beyond music. The first drop is slated for later in 2025.

“My beauty line, people have been expecting that, like an album,” Cardi B told Women’s Wear Daily in an exclusive interview.

Cardi B wants to build long-term brand value rather than just endorse products. Revolve, known for tapping into influencer culture, is banking on Cardi’s cultural pull to connect with Millennial and Gen Z shoppers.

Cardi explained, “When something is so expected, people want it to be the best, or, they want it to be the worst so they can be like, ‘Haha you don’t know about s–t b—h!’ People expect the best from both fields. We have to come in strong.”

Cardi B Says She Doesn’t Get Credit For Being A Trendsetter

Cardi B wore a sharply tailored white blazer dress from her upcoming line during the interview, offering a first look at what’s to come. The outfit was sleek, form-fitting and unmistakably her.

“I personally believe that I put a lot of people on a lot of trends,” she added. “It’s not even about getting paid, but it’s not appreciated. I gotta do this for me because I don’t get thank yous. If I don’t have a good year, I don’t get, ‘How have you been?’ Nobody does that. It’s time for me to do s–t for my own self, not for everybody else.”

Hints of the venture first surfaced in December 2024 when Cardi teased a huge project without naming names.

“I got something very important to me that is coming out next year. I don’t want to say too much,” she said at the time. “This is something that I been wanting to do for a very long time. I just left a billion-dollar play.”

Justin Bieber stirred concern over the weekend after a string of cryptic Instagram posts hinted at personal turmoil and reignited speculation about his marriage to Hailey Bieber.

On Sunday (March 30), the 30-year-old pop star shared a series of puzzling stories.

Instagram/Justin Bieber

One read, “I really tried to play nicey nicey,” while another featured a close-up of Hailey set to Sade’s “Jezebel.”

He also posted a photo of himself appearing to roll a joint and another referencing God. The flurry of activity was followed by Bieber briefly deactivating his Instagram account before restoring it hours later.

Adding to the confusion, Bieber previewed new music on the platform, with some viewers commenting that he looked disoriented.

The posts came amid ongoing rumors about his mental health and relationship status.

Bieber, who has been open about his emotional struggles, previously admitted to battling anger and self-worth issues.

“I hate myself when I do things just to make people like me,” he said earlier this year. He also confessed to feeling like a “fraud” and “undeserving” despite his fame.

Justin Bieber’s Instagram posts also included rare sightings of his 7-month-old son, Jack Blues. In recent photos, he was seen cuddling Jack, FaceTiming and lying with the baby on his chest.

Jack’s face remained hidden behind an emoji, a move consistent with Bieber and Baldwin’s efforts to protect their child’s privacy. One post featured a throwback photo of Tupac Shakur with the caption, “Hate to take your feelings ransom.”

Still, fans noticed Hailey had unfollowed Justin on Instagram, fueling speculation about the state of their marriage. The couple has not publicly addressed the rumors.

Claressa Shields dismissed pregnancy rumors and doubled down on her boxing goals after a viral video of her stepping out of a car driven by her boyfriend Papoose led to speculation.

The two-time Olympic gold medalist addressed the gossip head-on via Instagram.

“Y’ALL want me to be pregnant by @papoose so bad,” she wrote. “I’m not pregnant I had just ate [laughing emojis] damn!”

Shields quickly clarified the situation during an Instagram Live.

“If I was pregnant I would announce it to the whole world like I did when me and Papoose came out,” she stated. “I will let you guys know, okay. It would be our internet child.”

She made it clear that motherhood isn’t on her immediate agenda. “I don’t want to have a kid this year. It’s a couple girls a#### I want to kick,” she said. “Hopefully, it can happen next year, and then if it doesn’t, the year after that. But not right now.”

Shields and Papoose went public with their relationship after an online spat with the rapper’s estranged wife, Remy Ma. 

Since then, Pap has been a visible presence in Shields’ life, even performing during her ring walk and helping her with her gear before a match.

Papoose Shows Love To Claress Shields On Her Birthday

Papoose also posted a birthday tribute to Shields, calling her “a great person who’s always smiling/happy” and expressing his love for her. Shields has spoken positively about their relationship, calling Papoose “a sweetheart” and noting, “It feels good to love somebody and they love you back.”

Jim Jones Takes Aim At Kanye West On “Fashion Killa (PDF)”

By: Houston Williams Updated Category: Rumors
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

Jim Jones is back like he never left.

Jim Jones and Kanye West are back in the headlines together again. The culture is buzzing. The Harlem capo truly knows how to turn the pettiest insult into art.

Kanye West threw some shade Jim’s way, accusing him of botching a multi-million dollar deal because, allegedly, “Jim didn’t know how to make a PDF.” How? I refuse.

Instead of getting lost in a shouting match with Ye, who continues to spiral through controversy. So what does Jimmy do? He dropped a track called “Fashion Killa” aka “PDF.” Petty? Maybe. Poetic? Absolutely. I love it!

And the record doesn’t just live in beef, it skates around it. It’s the Harlem way! Turns the negative into a positive. Jim Jones sure can control a narrative! Some rappers-turned-podcasters have put their struggles on front street. No shade. Jim Jones isn’t trying to rebrand himself into some viral spectacle. He’s not jumping into influencer or podcast beefs. He’s staying in his creative bag and letting the music—and the outfits—speak. While others are out here chasing likes and livestreams, Jimmy’s chasing legacy.

“Fashion Killa” is a whole mood. The beat is sparse, electric, and almost reminiscent of Kanye’s sonic aesthetic a few years back. Auto-tune? Check. Visual couture vibes? Check. But unlike Ye’s KKK garb Jim keeps it street. The Harlem streets are his runway! The visuals reportedly show Jim and his crew stomping through Paris. Jimmy is as comfortable front row at Fashion Week as he is on the Ave with a chopped cheese on the stoop.

And look, if this is all a Kanye-inspired reaction, it’s the most artistically refreshing one we’ve seen in a minute. Unlike a certain someone who once wore something that resembled a KKK outfit (yeah, that guy), Jim isn’t confusing shock value with style.

At the end of the day, Jim Jones is doing what a lot of others forgot how to do—make art out of the madness.

Cardi B Drops Bombshell About Upcoming Album—But Is Still “100 Percent” Confident About It

Cardi B has dropped some clues about her upcoming album, including one major detail that has her fanbase reeling.

During a recent Twitter Spaces broadcast, Cardi B provided her fans with a multitude of life updates, namely speaking on her ongoing divorce with Offset and her upcoming album, CB2.

In the midst of dishing details about the new music she has been crafting, Cardi B told fans that the project doesn’t have any features from female rappers “yet.”

While she didn’t go into depth about why she has yet to add any collaborations with her female rap counterparts to the project, she was very excited about the body of work and the features that are currently included.

“The features on my album are really good,” Cardi B said in part. “I don’t have a lot of features.
Well, it depends what y’all consider was a lot of features. I don’t have a lot of features.”

Cardi B also revealed that some of the collaborations that currently live on the album are familiar names.

“I’m working with artists, some that I have worked before and some that I haven’t worked before,” she said. “And like the ones that like I have not worked with before, I feel like it’s gonna like really, really surprise y’all. And it’s such a vibe.”

Cardi went on to express her excitement for the release, explaining her belief that she has something truly unique to offer the world this go-around.

“I could tell y’all this, I’m 100 percent confident with this album,” she said. “Like it’s so, I just don’t think that what I got is out there, is out there. So that’s all I’m gonna say. I gave y’all some clues on my features and that’s it. Bye-bye, talk to you later.”

Cardi B’s debut album Invaision Of Privacy, home to hits such as “Bodak Yellow,” topped the Billboard 200 upon its April 2018 release. The New York-bred rapper’s follow-up effort has big shoes to fill should it attempt to scratch the surface of what her debut effort did—considering it nabbed her a Grammy Award fro Best Rap Album and broke the record for the biggest first-week sales numbers generated for a female rap album since Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday in 2010.

Trick Trick Goes On Transphobic Tirade During Heated Argument With Gay Man

By: Devon Jefferson Updated Category: Rumors
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

Detroit rapper Trick Trick made waves on social media after a clip from his recent interview capturing a fiery tirade against transgender people quickly went viral and spiraled into chaos.

Trick Trick delivered the rant during his recent appearance on the alternative, conservative leaning platform No B####### News Hour. In the nearly four-minute clip circulating from his interview, Trick Trick wasted no time diving into his controversial views, attacking transgender athletes and educators with unfiltered aggression. As a result, he became enthralled into an argument with one of the other guest’s on the show.

“We got men beating the s### out of women in women’s sports and this, it was perfectly g###### legal,” Trick Trick declared.

Trick Trick then turned his attention to schools, ranting, “We got transgenders or transistors or whatever the f### they are coming in schools talking to children. What the f### is you doing talking to these babies about what? What are you? What the f###?”

His frustration only grew as he questioned the state of American society.

“How the f### did we get here?” he questioned rhetorically. “At this point, America, we got a g###### problem.”

As Trick Trick clashed with another guest, the conversation quickly took a tense turn when he was pressed on his inflammatory statements.

“I don’t give a f### about all that cuz,” he erupted, “He asked you a question about something else. You ain’t got to come back.”

His impatience mounted as he struggled to keep his composure.

“He’s still f###### talking,” he said. “I’m not here to talk to him bro. I’m here to talk to you.”

The discussion grew even more chaotic, as Trick Trick became increasingly agitated, shutting down any pushback over the transphobic rhetoric he was spewing. He then took aim at his critics, dismissing their concerns about his scathing rant.

“Who the f### made you the moral authority over how any-f######-body talk dog?” he questioned. “Where the f### do you get your positioning to tell anybody how to talk? I’ll wait.”

The interview ultimately devolved into a shouting match, with Trick Trick growing increasingly frustrated and nearly walking off set multiple times.

“You don’t get to tell me how to think you don’t get to tell me how to talk,” he said. “You don’t know nothing about me. You stated that from the beginning. So at this point yeah, you started wrong.”

His closing remarks were just as erratic, referencing Ukraine in a baffling attempt to shift the focus. As far as the bigger picture, Trick Trick’s comments follow Hip-Hop artists such as Janelle Monáe and Doechii calling out Donald Trump over his policies which strip transgender individuals of their gender rights. Trick Trick notoriously appeared alongside Trump on his campaign trail last year after he made an appearance at one of his rallies last October.

Sayso P Murder Suspect Found Dead In Houston—2nd Suspect Identified

The murder investigation linked to the fatal shooting of The Sauce Factory rapper Sayso P earlier this month just took a shocking turn.

On Monday (March 31), the Memphis Police Department shared a homicide investigation update on Twitter, revealing the suspect in the March 22 shooting death of Sayso P had been found deceased in Houston, Texas.

According to the update, the remains of the suspect, 21-year-old Jayden Dandridge, have been uncovered, triggering the warrant for his arrest to cease. Authorities have named a second suspect, 22-year-old Kevin Brown, in Dandridge’s murder. An arrest warrant for charges including first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder employment of a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony and theft of property has been issued for Brown.

Dandridge was charged with one count of first-degree murder, two counts of attempted first-degree murder, two counts of employment of a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony and auto theft. A $6,000 cash reward was being offered for information leading to Dandridge’s arrest prior to his murder.

News of Dandridge’s death follows a recent interview Sauce Walka appeared in amid the aftermath of Sayso P’s murder in which which he declared he wouldn’t seek retaliation against the individuals suspected of committing the fatal crime.

“If I wanted to I could have 500 different men—good men down here from different cities and states including mine—ready to do whatever by snapping my finger in retaliation to what happened to me and my little brother,” he admitted. “As much as it hurt my soul, really break me down, I can’t retaliate because that’s not righteous.”

Sauce Walka emphasized that, as painful as the loss is, he must acknowledge that Sayso P had his own dealings that led to the situation. He admits he has also recognized that he, too, could have been held accountable in the same way, potentially losing his life in the process.

“At the end of the day, I got to be a man and be an honorable gangster and respect the fact that I put myself in a place where I wasn’t supposed to be standing and sitting there,” he said. “But as a gangster and as a brother, I’m standing next to my brother no matter whatever this n#### got going on or whatever his personal beefs or problems is.”

Dave East Seen Asleep At Wheel In Viral 2022 DUI Police Footage

Dave East was going viral over the weekend after body cam footage from his 2022 DUI arrest surfaced online, showing him passed out behind the wheel with music blaring and an empty champagne bottle in his cup holder.

The video quickly gained traction online, pulling in nearly half a million YouTube views in just a few days.

Officers are seen knocking on the window multiple times before East finally wakes up. When asked what happened, he tells police, “I’m two minutes from my house.” Officers then requested he step out of the vehicle to assess his condition.

East, who appeared visibly uncomfortable, admitted to drinking and smoking weed earlier that night. “I’m a rapper. I had a couple of glasses of champagne in the studio,” he told officers but insisted he was not impaired.

Despite his claims, police conducted several field sobriety tests, including eye-tracking and balance exercises.

East appeared frustrated during the process, at one point visibly annoyed with the attention and scrutiny.

While he managed to complete some of the tests, officers determined there was enough evidence to arrest him on suspicion of driving under the influence. The stalled car had caused a traffic backup that extended onto the highway.

The incident originally occurred in 2022 but remained relatively quiet until the footage was made public.

Dave East Fans React To DUI Footage

Social media users let the jokes fly after the footage surfaced online.

“I just watched the body cam of the Dave East arrest,” one user shared. “I hated to see him get locked Up, but bro Is funny as a MF.”

Another added, “Dave East ma boy, you passed the test with flying colors but you TALK to much my guy, damn! Would not shut up, while the police do the job. Even asking the cop if he Muslim like becz u Muslim he was supposed to let u go. Smh.”

6ix9ine is turning to faith after a $250,000 court penalty and his release from house arrest following a string of probation violations that landed him back in legal trouble.

The controversial Brooklyn-born rapper posted a video from a church service over the weekend, sharing a message that hinted at a spiritual shift. 

“In this life everything will go wrong, no matter how much you try for everything to go right,” he wrote across the clip. “Without Jesus nothing is possible. With him EVERYTHING is possible. I love you God my Lord & Savior.”

6ix9ine Slapped With Whopping Court Fine

The post came just days after AllHipHop exclusively reported that a federal judge had ordered him to pay $250,000 in damages for breaching a performance contract. 

The fine stems from a missed concert in Washington, D.C., back in October 2018, when 6ix9ine skipped a sold-out show at Echostage and instead performed at a different event in New Jersey. 

He had already accepted nearly $60,000 in fees from the D.C. promoters but then went silent, leaving more than 3,000 people waiting in the rain before the venue canceled the event 30 minutes before doors were set to open.

That wasn’t the only legal mess 6ix9ine has faced in recent months. On November 12, 2024, he was sentenced to 45 days in jail for violating the terms of his supervised release. 

The violations included unauthorized travel to Las Vegas and Sarasota, Florida, failing drug tests, and testing positive for methamphetamines. After serving his sentence, he was placed on home confinement, followed by house arrest, curfew, and another year of supervised probation.

He was released from jail in December under strict conditions.

Then, in March 2025, 6ix9ine made headlines again when he posted a video of himself cutting off his ankle monitor. He claimed he was tired of being tracked and wanted to live without restrictions.

Kanye West unleashed a barrage of personal grievances and parental frustrations during a YouTube interview, saying he regretted Kim Kardashian getting pregnant and questioning his role in their children’s lives.

“That was my fault,” Kanye West said during a nearly hour-long conversation posted Sunday (March 30). “I didn’t want to have children with this person after the first two months of being with her, but that wasn’t God’s plan.”

West didn’t hold back as he reflected on his six-year marriage to Kardashian, which ended in 2021.

The former couple shares four children: North, 11, Saint, 9, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 5.

“I don’t get the name and likeness ownership, or at least 50-50 with my kids,” West said, referring to their ongoing custody battle. “So how’s it joint custody?”

West also expressed anger over what he sees as a lack of control in raising his children, pointing to Kardashian’s family as the ones steering the ship.

“My kids are celebrities and I don’t have the say so,” he said. “So this white woman and this white family have the control of these highly influential black kids that are half the children of Ye.”

The interview comes amid speculation about West’s current marriage to Bianca Censori.

According to the Daily Mail, Censori is reportedly considering having a child with West, despite rumors that their relationship is under strain.

Rock has been vocal about her decision to leave behind secular music and focus on what she calls “Godly music.” 

Her shift in direction follows a turbulent period that included a stint in jail last summer on drug-related charges.

In a September 2024 interview with Pastor Jamal Bryant, Rock opened up about her lifestyle changes since her release. She said she’s stopped smoking marijuana, quit drinking and has chosen to abstain from sex outside of marriage.

“I don’t have an appetite for confusing things,” she explained. “I been done with all of it for a very really long time. But again, we’re all helpless. So as much as we think we can do this on our own…you don’t want the strength from this world; you want the strength from the word of God.”

“Yahweh” is scheduled to be released on Tuesday (April 1).

DDG chopped off his signature locs in front of 60,000 live viewers on Twitch after surpassing his 40,000-subscriber goal during his weeklong “Hit-A-Thon” livestream, where he made an entire album from scratch.

The rapper and YouTuber had promised to cut his hair if he reached the milestone during the 24/7 Twitch event, which ran from March 24 to March 31. 

By the end of the stream, he had gained more than 42,000 new subscribers and hit a peak of over 90,000 concurrent viewers.

“Cutting my dreads right now on Twitch,” DDG told the audience. “It’s 60,000 people watching on Twitch.”

Before the first loc was snipped, DDG invited his friends to help, asking, “Y’all wanna cut one?” 

When the first strand came off, he shouted, “Noooo,” as one of his friends held it up to the camera.

Once the last loc hit the floor, DDG was ready for a clean fade. But the new look won’t stick around for long.

“I’mma go right back to where I started,” he said. “I’mma be a sky top again. I got to grow everything out.”

The haircut capped off a high-energy week that blurred the lines between music creation and live entertainment. 

Throughout the stream, viewers helped shape the album by voting on beats, giving feedback on lyrics and even influencing which songs made the final cut.

DDG also brought in a steady stream of collaborators, including Ty Dolla $ign, Kevin Gates, Rich the Kid and Shaboozey. Twitch personalities like Kai Cenat, Adin Ross and Deshae Frost also joined, adding to the event’s momentum.

Earlier in the week, after hitting 35,000 subscribers, DDG took on a Fear Factor-style challenge involving “wild animals,” adding another layer of unpredictability to the stream.

The “Hit-A-Thon” wrapped March 31 after seven days of nonstop streaming.

The Toronto native, born and raised in the city’s west end, became the first Canadian to win three straight weeks on BET’s “Freestyle Friday,” a feat that cemented his name in battle rap history.

He later transitioned into music, releasing singles including “That’s the Way,” “Shorty Grindin’,” and “It’s Fo’ Twenty,” which earned major airplay across Canadian radio.

Brigante’s influence stretched beyond the mic. He collaborated with Hip-Hop heavyweights including Drake, Nate Dogg, MC Lyte and Sticky Fingaz, and hit the road with acts like Busta Rhymes and G-Unit. His debut album, Legacy, served as both a personal memoir and a tribute to Canadian Hip-Hop.

He also appeared on screen, with roles in the 2002 crime drama Narc alongside Ray Liotta and Jason Patric and the 2003 television series Platinum. He even took the stage in a production of A Clockwork Orange.

Brigante played a key role in Canada’s premier battle rap league, King of the Dot, helping to elevate the platform and mentor up-and-coming talent.

In October 2023, Brigante revealed he had been diagnosed with colorectal cancer.

The following month, Joe Budden spotlighted Brigante’s health battle on The Joe Budden Podcast, urging listeners to support his GoFundMe campaign. Budden pledged financial help and followed through with a sizable donation.

Brigante later said Budden’s contribution was “more helpful than I could’ve ever imagined” and credited Budden’s manager, Ian Schwartzman and the Joe Budden Network for stepping in when he needed it most. “It came at a time when I was at my worst,” Brigante said.
