The Game has come to the defense of pop star Justin Bieber, who recently uploaded photos of himself crying to his Instagram page.
The rapper, who has experienced plenty of his own ups and downs, wrote on social media, “He’s human. Rich or not, man or woman… he’s a person. People go through things. These things sometimes trigger uncontrollable emotions. Allow him & others to be vulnerable no matter the state. What’s funny is the folks in the comments acting like they don’t have bad days, moments or s### don’t get thick. Weird world.”
Bieber’s emotionally-charged photos were part of a bigger cluster that included shots of himself performing and a close-up of weed. He didn’t provide any context to the post, although his wife Hailey Beiber did write in the comment section, “a pretty crier.” Fans of his, of course, were riddled with concern, typing comments like, “Justin, are you OK?” and “Your son and he seems to be in pain, I ask you to surround him with Your mighty arms & reveal to him that You are always near.”
But another joked, “Stop it, he’s crying because he just choked on that rip in the previous slide,” a reference to the pot picture.
Whatever the reason behind the Bieb’s tears, The Game clearly empathizes.
Chrisean Rock recently reacted to speculation about her son’s health on social media. The rapper/reality TV star vehemently defended her son amid rumors claiming he is blind or has an intellectual disability.
“My son Chrisean Jesus Malone Jr. – he’s straight,” she said. “The f###? He’s a billion-dollar baby, so stay tuned. No, he’s not blind. No, he’s not retarded, n####. He’s a f###### child. F###, it got me f##### up. But it’s cool though. It is real cool how y’all just—that’s all wanna sit up and talk about. That’s fine.”

Chrisean Rock claimed people continually discussed her son because they wanted attention. The polarizing figure believed she faced unfair scrutiny as a mother, but she was confident her son would prove her doubters wrong.
“My baby’s blessed from the head to his toe,” she said. “Like what? Y’all forgot when he got dedicated on the seventh day? Like what? All I gotta say is, ‘God glory, God glory.’ All y’all gon’ see is him proving you n##### wrong. And that’s all that matters … I really don’t give two f####, for real. I’m not even addressing nothing because I don’t give a f###. You feel me?
“We ain’t talking ‘bout your baby ‘cause it don’t get you views. Like you can’t talk about your own kids. You know why? ‘Cause it ain’t gon’ get you views. It’s not gonna get people watching. So yeah, talk about what’s most wanted. Talk about what’s most talked about: me, Chrisean.”
She added, “I rebuke everything y’all saying about my child … Y’all are gonna be looking real stupid.”
Chrisean gave birth to her baby boy in 2023. He is her first child. She named him after herself.
The baby’s father Blueface is currently in jail for a probation violation but scheduled to be released in July.
A security guard was shot multiple times at Cash XO’s home in Los Angeles on Monday (April 29). According to FOX 11, the 37-year-old victim was in critical condition but expected to survive.
Cops responded to several 911 calls about gunfire in the area around 2:30 a.m. The victim was one of the callers, telling dispatchers he got shot and providing a description of his attackers. Police found him inside a guard shack on Cash XO’s property and rushed him to a local hospital.
The security guard said three men wearing hoodies and surgical masks fled the scene after the shooting. Police noted Cash XO was at home at the time of the incident, per KTLA.
Cash XO, whose real name is Amir Esmailian, is the longtime manager of The Weeknd. Cash XO co-founded the XO record label with The Weeknd.
Drake recently mocked Cash XO on the song “Push Ups.” Drake targeted Cash XO and The Weeknd in response to a lyrical jab from Future and Metro Boomin’s We Still Don’t Trust You album. The Weeknd dissed Drake in a guest appearance on Future and Metro’s song “All to Myself.”
“They could never diss my brothers, baby/When they got leaks in they operation/I thank God that I never signed my life away/And we never do the big talk/They shooters making TikToks/Got us laughin’ in the Lambo/I promise that I got your back,” The Weeknd sang.
Drake released “Push Ups” to address Kendrick Lamar and many others who dissed the Canadian star. Drake mentioned Cash XO and The Weeknd in the first verse.
“Yeah, I’m the 6ix God, I’m the frontrunner/Y’all n#### manager was Chubbs lil’ blunt runner/Claim the 6ix and you boys ain’t even come from it/And when you boys got rich, you had to run from it/Cash blowing Abel bread, out here tricking/S### we do for b######, he doing for n#####,” Drake rapped.
You know Sukihana, right? Yeah, she’s that really hardcore chick from Delaware, Miami and a few other places. She recently got busted for allegedly selling codeine and other substances. It didn’t create much buzz because she’s more of a reality TV sideshow than a rap artist. Her mugshot? Oh, it went viral online.
Here’s what the news team reported:
Sukihana, whose real name is Destiny Lanette Henderson, was booked at the Paul Rein Detention Facility in Pompano Beach. She faced charges including possession of codeine with the intent to sell, deliver or manufacture, as well as possession of MDMA with the same intentions. The bond for the codeine charge was set at $5,000, and the MDMA charge at $2,500.
Now, here’s the rumor. I’ve heard from several sources, including booking agents and promoters, who claim that Suki has scammed them. (“Defrauded” is the nicer term, but let’s keep it real—they’re saying she took their money.) How? Typically, when you book someone for a show, they get paid half upfront and the rest when they perform or arrive at the venue. Sometimes, promoters might stiff the artist at a packed venue, but that’s rare.
The word on the street is that Suki collects the advance payment then fails to show up at the venue. I don’t know exactly what her fee is, but most rappers can bag a decent amount, even those with minimal talent. On the low end, they might make $10,000 per show. If you pocket $5,000 or $10,000 and do nothing, you’re literally getting money for no reason.
I can’t confirm she’s doing this, but I can tell you that these are the allegations some people are making. Most haven’t gone public as the accusers are likely debating whether to take legal action or call her out on social media. From what I hear, they might go the legal route, but don’t quote me on that.
Meanwhile, Suki has other issues to handle, especially with her legal troubles. She was smiling in her mugshot, but nobody’s laughing now. What do you guys think?
Kanye West’s former security guard sued him for discrimination, wrongful termination and creating a hostile work environment, among other claims. Benjamin Deshon Provo added his name to the list of ex-Donda Academy employees who’ve brought complaints against West by filing a lawsuit in Los Angeles on Friday (April 26).
According to Provo, West “unjustifiably and unreasonably” demanded employees shave their heads in 2023. Provo wouldn’t comply, citing religious reasons for keeping his dreadlocks. West and manager John Hicks pressured Provo to cut the dreads, but Provo stood firm despite West’s “increasingly more aggressive” demands.
“Plaintiff refused,” Provo’s attorney noted in court documents obtained byPEOPLE. “Thereafter, Hicks approached Plaintiff and stated, ‘Kanye said, ‘Tell the one with the dreads to shave his head or he is fired.’ Plaintiff refused to shave his head, and as a result thereof, his employment was terminated.”
Provo began working for Kanye West in 2021. He handled security at the Donda Academy, Sunday Service events and a Yeezy warehouse. Provo was allegedly told to “prevent paparazzi from interacting with Kanye by any means necessary, including acts of violence.”
The security guard’s lawsuit said there was “a stark difference in the way Kanye treated Plaintiff and other Black employees” compared to other employees.
“Kanye frequently screamed at and berated Black employees, while in contrast, he never so much as raised his tone of voice toward white staff,” Provo’s lawsuit contended.
Provo claimed he was paid less than his non-Black colleagues. He experienced a “decrease in his paychecks” after raising a complaint.
West’s former security guard sued him a few weeks after another former Donda Academy employee named Trevor Phillips made similar claims in a separate lawsuit. Phillips said West “treated the Black staff considerably worse than white employees.” Phillips also accused Kanye West of threatening to shave Donda Academy students’ heads and put them in cages.
Meek Mill’s social media antics routinely get him in hot water—and last week was no exception. On April 26, the Dreamchasers founder tweeted an interesting theory on what he calls “black hatred.” He believes the recent solar eclipse led to an uptick in bad behavior.
“The eclipse opened up the portal to everybody that was hating on you to be exposed!” he wrote. “Black hatred level went up a few notches in 2024!”
People quickly hopped in the comment section to remind him they’re still curious about his involvement with Diddy. Comments like “did you do top or bottom for Diddy” and “nah bruh they not hating they just sayin u was smashin diddy” littered his post. Of course, he didn’t reply to those.
For those who missed it, Lil Rodney filed a lawsuit against Diddy and claimed in court docs that Diddy had sex with a “Philadelphia rapper who dated Nicki Minaj,” and many concluded he was talking about Meek Mill.
The eclipse opened up the portal to everybody that was hating on you to be exposed! Black hatred level went up a few notches in 2024!
Meek Mill also said he thinks more people actually support him than don’t. He continued, “My city is fully behind me I prolly got a 1000 haters of 1.6 million people! Ima start my next tour Philly gone be in the first dates to display reality logic over internet influence I been doing it for years! They just come up with new bot tactics.
He later asked YouTube for help in removing negative stories about him.
“If you type my name in on @YouTube you only seeing spam of some fake stories or rumors they found away to hack people actually typing my name in easily,” he wrote. “@youtubemusic can we get the stuff out the way of my music???”
The total solar eclipse took place on April 8. Referred to as the Great North American Eclipse, it was visible across a band covering parts of North America, from Mexico to Canada and crossing the contiguous United States. Zookeepers, naturalists, university researchers and citizen scientists positioned themselves to observe animal behavior during the eclipse.
Captive avian species—meaning zoo animals—seemed most affected by the eclipse. For example, at the Columbus Zoo, ostriches returned to their barn and began their evening rituals but when the sunlight returned, they left their barn and resumed their daytime activities.
As for humans, psychologists suggest people have a broader, more collective focus during such an event—and maybe that means hating on Meek Mill more than usual. Whatever the case, find his tweets below.
My city is fully behind me I prolly got a 1000 haters of 1.6 million people! Ima start my next tour Philly gone be in the first dates to display reality logic over internet influence I been doing it for years! They just come up with new bot tactics
If you type my name in on @YouTube you only seeing spam of some fake stories or rumors they found away to hack people actually typing my name in easily… @youtubemusic can we get the stuff out the way of my music???
DDG made the transition from YouTube content creator to platinum-selling recording artist. According to the Pontiac, Michigan-born entertainer, his current monthly income surpasses six figures.
“I’m going to give you a wide range. I don’t want people to pocket-watch too crazy. On a low month, I’ll pull in a little hundred piece [$100,000]. On a high month, we can go anywhere from five [$500,000] and up,” DDG revealed in an interview with The Shade Room.
Additionally, he said, “I work very hard. A lot of people don’t give me credit for what I do, but being relevant in the space that I’m in for as long as I have, a lot of people look at me as an OG. Even though I’m 26, but I’ve been doing it since I was 19. I inspired a lot of the new creators that we are seeing now.”
The man born Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr. dropped out of Central Michigan University to pursue his YouTube career. The “Moonwalking in Calabasas” performer runs The DDG Plug and the PontiacMadeDDG VLOGS channels on the Google-owned video-sharing platform.
An album by DDG titled Valedictorian arrived in November 2019. DDG also released 2022’s It’s Not Me It’s You and 2023’s Maybe It’s Me… via Epic Records. Plus, he teamed up with OG Parker for the Die 4 Respect mixtape in 2021.
“Moonwalking in Calabasas” earned double-platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America. DDG picked up gold plaques for “Arguments,” “I’m Geekin” and “Hood Melody” too. The Zooted Music founder also jumped into the boxing arena by defeating Nate Wyatt at the YouTubers vs Tiktokers event.
Aubrey O’Day rose to fame as part of Danity Kane, the girl group formed during the Diddy-produced Making the Band reality series.
Diddy signed O’Day and the rest of Danity Kane to his Bad Boy Entertainment record label. After O’Day’s time with the company, the singer became a vocal critic of her former boss.
For starters, O’Day appeared in the TMZ-presented documentary The Downfall of Diddy. The 68-minute presentation covers Diddy’s federal sex trafficking criminal investigation and several sexual misconduct lawsuits.
“I think he would probably be making moves to keep as many people quiet as possible,” O’Day stated about the multi-millionaire in The Downfall of Diddy documentary.
On the proposed publishing rights deal she added, “It asked me to not be able to have access to my story and my experience anymore. It asked me specifically to stay silent and never speak poorly about a human.”
According to TMZ, a representative for Diddy denied all Bad Boy acts were required to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA). The source called Diddy’s decision to return publishing rights to the artists “an unprecedented move within the industry.”
Following her interview on Shannon Sharpe’s podcast, Amanda Seales became a trending topic online. Sharpe later connected with Gilbert Arenas to get the ex-NBA player’s take on what Seales had to say during her Club Shay Shay appearance.
“As educated as she is, there’s a standard of a man that she’s looking for. If they’re not on the same education level as her, she’s gonna look down on [him],” Gilbert Arenas claimed about Amanda Seales not being married.
The former Washington Wizards guard continued, “If they’re more educated than her, then they’re talking down to her. So these are the type of women that will typically be single because they can’t find the equal partner to who they are.”
Amanda Seales got wind of what Gilbert Arenas had to say on Shannon Sharpe and Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson’s Nightcap show. The actress/comedian/recording artist addressed Agent Zero in a video posted to social media.
“Why is Gilbert Arenas even talking about me?” Seales asked her followers. “I’m too smart to find a good man? That’s not even a thing. That’s an unfortunate statement to make.”
The Columbia University graduate also said, “I don’t even know what that’s trying to say about men. And the truth is I’m not trying to find a good man. A good man will find me. I’m talking to somebody right now.”
Coi Leray has had much to say about the music industry recently. One of her latest social media posts suggested record companies fuel animosity among female rap stars.
“[I don’t know,] if you ask me it [seems] like these labels are behind the female controversy. They see it helps push the music, I wouldn’t be surprised if they the ones behind the fan pages,” Coi Leray tweeted.
In addition, Leray wrote, “Most of these female rappers not even from the same places!!!! Not from the same hoods… why are we beefing? Do female pop stars have just as much beef as the female rappers? I’m curious.”
“It’s starting to get old. The rap beefs are for the guys. You know, I don’t even think they should do it,” Coi Leray stated in a 2023 interview, following her public tension with Latto.
Leray also said, “Us artists, we kind of control the narrative. So if we just spend more time pushing that narrative we won’t give these headlines and these blogs no reason to go ahead and push this negative narrative. That’s something we got to come together on.”
Idk if you ask me it seem like these labels are behind the female controversy. They see it helps push the music , I wouldn’t be surprised if they the ones behind the fan pages 🤷🏽♀️
Footage from one of rising Detroit rapper Skilla Baby’s recent performances has been circulating the internet. In the clip, one of Skilla’s supporters apparently crossed the line regarding fan interaction.
A video of Skilla Baby running through his “Bae” song at a show made its way to Instagram. At one point, a male fan in the crowd touches The Coldest album creator’s bare chest.
Skilla stopped performing to address the man. He said, “No disrespect towards you, bro. I don’t go that way… I appreciate you, bro. But I don’t do that.”
Projects such as 2019’s Push That S### Out Skilla helped introduce Skilla Baby to a wider audience. During a 2023 interview, Skilla spoke about women making up a large part of his fan base.
“I ain’t gon lie, everybody that come to my shows be like, ‘[Your] front row is full of girls!’ I thought that’s how everybody’s front row look,” Skilla Baby stated.
The recording artist born Trevon Gardner continued, “I don’t know where that came from though. I don’t get that part, I just be living my regular life.”
Skilla Baby released The Coldest on April 26, 2024. That project features Moneybagg Yo, G Herbo, Rob49, Mozzy, Flo Milli, Jeremih, DaBaby, and Polo G.
Lil Nas X has responded to a social media user claiming to be a former friend of Ice Spice following copying accusations.
Going by the handle @babystorme_, the user alleged she and Ice Spice used to be besties but the rapper used her so she could appear “closer to blackness.” Furthermore, she accused Ice Spice of colorism and claimed she was jealous of Latto.
She also took aim at Lil Nas X, claiming he stole her “identity” during his “Christian Era” rollout. Baby Storme shared a post from Lil Nas X wearing a dress alongside the look she accuses him of copying.
“Lil Nas X i’m not even gonna address you,” Baby Storme wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “Another clown ass barb who tried to steal my identity. he stole my TCIAG look that i INVENTED & then used it to launch his new era, ‘J Christ.’ but he doesn’t walk in light. which is why you can never be me. You used blasphemy to try to boost your sorry ass career. And that’s why your career is finished. This screenshot is straight from his page.”

In another tweet, she claimed Lil Nas X “was the first major celebrity to discover me.” According to Baby Storme, he approached her in 2020, telling her not to quit music because he’s a big fan.
“It’s because he wanted to keep stealing my original ideas & profiting,” she continued. “He also sent his producers to work with me so they could get access to my unreleased music. & he’s done a lot more than that.” She also claimed he’s been watching her since 2020.

However, Lil Nas X caught wind of her post and clapped back in characteristic style.
“I am flattered that you think my outfit was genuinely inspired by your party city monster high dress. Log off the internet and have your psychotic breakdown without an audience like the rest of us baby girl,” he wrote.

Meanwhile, Baby Storme claimed Lil Nas X fell into her trap for free promo.
“I already knew Lil Nas X would be the one celebrity to respond,” she added. “I baited him. 😉 And it was easy since he is a barb. Thank you for the free promo, Montero! You really put my career on the map now!!”
Nonetheless, he continued her tirade against her alleged former best friend. After claiming Ice Spice cheated on her boyfriend and producer, Riot, in 2022 with Lil Tjay, she promised to share receipts of her admitting to assaulting him.
A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie ran into some trouble in Paris, France over the weekend after getting into an altercation with security at a nightclub.
The Bronx native was in the French capital, where he was scheduled to perform on his Better Off Alone Tour Sunday night (April 28.) However, things went left after A-Boogie tried to end his night at a Paris nightspot.
Footage shared on social media shows A-Boogie approaching the venue while drinking from a bottle of alcohol. “I can’t bring the bottle,” he ponders before continuing to the entrance with the bottle in hand. He eventually passes it to someone in his team, but security is already arguing with the rapper’s entourage.
A-Boogie eventually decides he’s had enough, saying, “We out,” before heading towards his vehicle. Nonetheless, he swiftly changes his mind and walks back to the club. This time he attempts to come in from the side, lifting the rope blocking entry.
Chaos quickly ensues as security blocks him, with one bouncer pushing A-Boogie. He’s then quickly hustled away by a friend amid the mayhem as one bouncer sprays an unknown substance from a canister while another arms himself with a pole.
It appears A-Boogie had another liquor bottle on his person, and he begins wielding it about while laughing. Thankfully, the situation apparently subsided before any blows were thrown. It’s unclear if police were involved although bystanders were shouting for the cops to be called.
While he may have escaped legal action in Paris, A Boogie had a run-in with the law in Europe in 2021. He canceled his appearance at London’s Wireless Festival following his arrest for an incident that allegedly occurred two years prior.
Stunna Girl was performing in Syracuse, New York over the weekend when the concert turned into chaos after a male fan grabbed her backside from the audience.
Footage from the concert shows the overzealous fan slapping her behind as she passes by him. Stunna Girl doesn’t acknowledge the man but whispers something to her husband Rich Mula500 who was on stage with her.
Rich immediately jumps offstage to confront the man and they begin a heated convo with foreheads pressed together. A larger man, presumably security becomes involved, grabs the fan by the neck, pushes him to the ground and blows begin flying.
Another person appears to get involved before Stunna Girl herself gets a few kicks in as the fan lies on the floor curled up in a ball. “Don’t touch me b####,” the Baddies star says into the microphone before being ushered back onstage. The mele continues as the fan throws chairs and the DJ orders everybody offstage.
Stunna Girl Threatens Legal Action
On Sunday night (April 28) Stunna Girl threatened to sue the fan for sexual assault. During an Instagram Live chat, she explained that the fan denied touching her inappropriately when confronted by Rich Mula.
It’s clear that you do not know the law,” she said before adding, “You’re literally about to be wrapped up for sexual assault.”
She continued, “He said he was suing me. But it’s like, you wanna play that route? You don’t even know who you talking to right now. I’m not the shorty to play with. He said he was suing me, he called the police. Then he went on the internet and said he was gonna shoot me, said he was gone kill us.”
However, according to Stunna Girl, while she hasn’t filed a police report, she is considering legal action.
“I don’t tell police, I have lawyers that will wash you, literally, dry,’ she added. “I will have your future kids standing outside 7-Eleven panhandling.”
She also mocked the fan on her instagram Story, posting multiple memes and screenshots of the altercation.
Kanye West has made amends with Kai Cenat after slamming the controversial streamer and accusing him of being an industry plant for dissing his new Yeezy merch.
Ye sent Cenat some replacement merch after the first batch was too big. Cenat did a live unveiling on his Twitch stream Sunday evening (April 28), trying on the new clothes.
“I know we been having our differences, but Ye, I am now about to try on these pants. And I’m going to be as honest as Keith Lee,” he explained, referring to the viral TikTok food critic.
Cenat got off to an awkward start, as the pants instantly dropped to the floor, exposing his underwear. However, Cenat quickly pulled them back up, adding “Okay, wait. Hold on. Let’s tie the pants.”
After fastening the drawstring, the pants appeared to fit. Nonetheless, Cenat wanted to be sure they would stay up and did some jumping jacks and a range of wild dance moves to test them.
“He sent the right size bro. Last time I tried it and it didn’t work. He sent the right size. Oh my god, they fit,” he exclaimed. “I never even did anything in the beginning, the pants simply did not fit. But this time, they fit.”
After confirming that his Vultures tee also fit, he let the jokes fly. Cenat pulled a hat over his entire face, mocking West’s recent appearance on The Download podcast where he mispronounced Cenat’s name and called him an industry plant.
Kanye West surprised Kai Cenat with smaller pants that actually fit this time 😭 pic.twitter.com/ITZPmksyzU
Before his peace offering, Kai Cenat denied Kanye West’s Industry plant accusations. The pair previously went back and forth in the Instagram DMs before the rapper’s manager got involved.
50 Cent is weighing in on the Chris Brown and Quavo beef with some jokes after footage surfaced of a tiny crowd at the Migos rapper’s recent show.
Many fans believed that Breezy borrowed a tactic the G-Unit boss employed in his beef with Ja Rule and purchased hundreds of tickets so the Quavo would perform in front of an empty crowd.
Meanwhile, on Sunday evening, Fiddy took to Instagram with an image, allegedly from Quavo’s concert. The photo was captioned, “Chris Brown really bough all of Quavos concert tickets so no one would turn up.”
Footage surfaced online over the weekend, with fans stunned at the shocking small crowd. In one video, a concertgoer blames Chris Brown for making a call to shut down Quavo’s show.
“Yo Chris Brown,” the cameraman says in the clip that has been viewed over 32 million times. “Are you serious bro? I know you’ve got something to do with this. Ain’t nobody at my man Quavo’s show today? Chris Brown, come on bro. I know you called somebody to shut his show down. Where are the people? This is horrible. He go on in like 30 minutes. And nobody here.”
Chris Brown evil for this, apparently he bought all the tickets at the Quavo concert just so the crowd is empty 😭😭 pic.twitter.com/n8fYLGWKqS
Chris Brown and Quavo recently resurrected their longstanding beef which is believed to stem from their shared dating history involving Karrueche Tran. Brown fired off on Quavo on “Freak,” with Huncho responding on “Tender.”
Then earlier this month, Brown dropped “Weakest Link,” which Quavo hit back at on “Over Hoes and B######.” The tracks flew back and forth, with many declaring Chris Brown the victor, including Fat Joe, who dubbed Breezy the “Tupac of 2024.”
Correct me if I’m wrong, but it looks like Drake is leading this “battle” at the moment. It’s been weeks and Kendrick Lamar still hasn’t fired back. Remember, K. Dot kicked off all this drama that turned into a royal rap rumble. But starting the beef doesn’t mean you’ve won it. Somehow, the Compton MC just hasn’t stepped up with a public response yet.
Meanwhile, Drake’s been busy dropping two new tracks, one even dabbling with A.I., stirring up some legal issues with the estate of the late, great Tupac Shakur. But hey, he responded—that’s what we call being a battle rap beast. As more time ticks by, does that mean Drake wins by default or forfeiture?
I’m not sure, but I do know that responses are expected quickly these days. That was a bit different back in the day with legends like Nas and JAY-Z, who had to navigate manufacturing plants and other logistical hurdles to get a record out. Those days are gone.
The volume of tracks he’s putting out makes it seem like he’s in the lead. “Push-Ups” is a solid track and he absolutely kills it. Anyone saying otherwise is fooling themselves. With Kendrick Lamar’s silence, we’re in a real puzzle here. Of course, if Lamar decides to respond, all this talk becomes irrelevant. But for now, it’s radio silence from his side.
What do you all think? Is Drake winning this by sheer volume or are we in for a surprise counterpunch from Kendrick Lamar? For the record, all sources point to a response coming.

Hip-Hop innovator Waleed Coyote released his latest single, “Baba,” spotlighting emerging talent VV$ Diamond on a bass-heavy track that intertwines Middle Eastern sounds with drill music and a political message.
The release showcases Waleed’s commitment to addressing global issues through music.
VV$ Diamond, a new voice in Hip-Hop under Othaz Records, lends her dynamic vocals to “Baba,” blending themes of power and allure.
The track, crafted by producer M.O. Musik, features a robust bass line paired with Arabic musical elements, setting a distinct tone that supports its lyrical content.
The song uses the term “Baba,” which is known in international slang as “Daddy,” to merge cultural influences with the audacious energy typical of drill music.
In the broader scope of Hip-Hop, “Baba” stands out with its explicit support for Palestinian liberation, marked by the hashtag #FreePalestine integrated into its rollout.

Sisqo candidly acknowledges the unsparing critiques his children, Ryu and Kimiqo, offer on his latest musical creations.
The Dru Hill member, who soared to fame with hits like “Thong Song,” now frequently uses his own children as a litmus test for his new tracks. He apparently appreciates their straightforward feedback, which serves an invaluable role in his artistic process.

“Turning down the opportunity to draw for Disney did not go over so well with my parents,” he shared. “So I had no choice but to make one of these talents work because they wasn’t going to let me forget how I fumbled that bag.
Nevertheless, his journey came full circle when he later starred in Disney’s “Snow Dogs,” reconciling his professional paths.
