50 Cent Mocks Floyd Mayweather To Promote Heist Novel

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

50 Cent announced the release plans for his novel The Accomplice by taking a shot at his frenemy Floyd Mayweather on Friday (March 1). The G-Unit boss trolled the undefeated boxer by vowing to drop the audiobook version on the same day as the print version.

“I have no beef with anyone,” he wrote on Instagram. “I even made sure the audiobook comes out at the same time so champ won’t feel left out. GLG GreenLightGang. The Accomplice Movie coming soon.”

The post referenced a persistent rumor about Mayweather being illiterate. 50 Cent often led the charge in spreading the rumor in the past.

Earlier this year, 50 Cent started antagonizing Mayweather again after the boxer refused to speak ill of Diddy despite multiple sexual assault allegations. The Power franchise’s producer questioned Mayweather, who brought up Diddy unprovoked on The Pivot podcast.

“They didn’t even ask him about this,” 50 Cent wrote on Instagram. “Champ is you stupid or is you dumb? Get me the f### out ya head, you sound like a hater. DIDDY DO IT? COMING soon.”

The Accomplice is scheduled to drop in September. 50 Cent co-wrote the novel with author Aaron Philip Clark.

“I want to bring a big heist story to the page,” 50 Cent told PEOPLE. “My debut fiction novel and its follow-up series will be captivating.”

50 Cent’s book will be published by Amistad, an imprint of HarperCollins. He was already plotting a film adaptation of the novel.

“The Accomplice is going to surprise readers in wonderful ways,” Amistad executive editor Patrik Henry Bass said. “It’s everything you want in a page-turner: vivid writing, complex, multi-dimensional characters, many plot twists, witty dialogue and Curtis [Jackson’s] inimitable charm and authenticity.”

50 Cent’s novel announcement coincided with the return of his show BMF. The third season’s first episode is now available to stream on the STARZ app.

Diddy Accused Of Grooming Usher By Former Bodyguard

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Diddy’s former bodyguard Gene Deal claimed Usher was the Hip-Hop mogul’s grooming victim in an interview with the Art of Dialogue. Gene Deal did not understand why Usher spoke positively about Diddy on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay podcast despite their allegedly sordid history.

“I know and people know that was around in that time that Puff [Daddy] and Usher did have a situation,” Diddy’s ex-bodyguard said. “And that situation led Usher to the hospital. Now, I’ll let Usher explain that to y’all. I’ll let Usher tell that story. But how dare you say a man that groomed you, you gonna give him a pass. Bruh, you know I know.”

Usher lived with Diddy for a year when the singer was a teenager. Gene Deal believed Usher should speak out about Diddy’s alleged misdeeds. He seemingly attempted to motivate Usher to do so by telling the story of an uncomfortable incident the former bodyguard witnessed.

“Remember Usher, we was at the Swissôtel,” Gene Deal said. “Puff had Kim [Porter] in the room, had one of Keith Sweat’s baby mothers in the big room outside the master bedroom. He came outside in his robe. He came outside in his robe, she gave him f####### right there. His back was turned to me. She gave him f#######. You knocked on the door. I came and opened the door for you. Puff went in the room. You came in the room and kissed that girl dead in the mouth. Now, I’m telling that because you taking up for somebody that you know and a lot of more people know didn’t do you right when you was at Diddy’s camp.”

Diddy faced multiple lawsuits accusing him of sexual assault. Earlier this week, producer Lil Rod joined the list of people suing Diddy with several bombshell allegations.

Lil Rod’s lawsuit mentioned Diddy having sex with an R&B singer. The name was redacted but observers quickly figured out it was referring to Usher. A note in the lawsuit said the singer performed at the Super Bowl and had a successful Las Vegas residency.

Footage Of Lil Wayne Face-Off With Security Surfaces After He Put Lakers On Blast

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Video of Lil Wayne’s confrontation with security at a Los Angeles Lakers game emerged on Friday (March 1). The clip showed event staff preventing him from going to his courtside seats while the Lakers played the Washington Wizards at the Crypto.com Arena on Thursday night (February 29).

Lil Wayne condemned the Lakers for his mistreatment on social media. He assumed the issues stemmed from his past criticism of Lakers star Anthony Davis.

“Wow!” Weezy wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter). “Got treated like s### at the Laker game just now but I figured they’d do me that sooner or later either bc of what i said abt AD or simply bc they don’t fwm which I been got that vibe from em as well so all good I get it. F### em. It isn’t what it isn’t. I’m used to it.”

Lil Wayne discussed the Lakers game incident during an appearance on Fox Sports 1’s Undisputed. The diamond-selling rapper claimed he only attended the game at the behest of a brand he’s promoting.

“I didn’t want to go to that game,” he told host Skip Bayless. “I was asked to be at that game. It was to promote the wardrobe I had on, which was also in cahoots with the NBA or whatever … I was asked to be there. That’s why I was like, ‘Wow.’ I didn’t expect the security guy to know I was asked to be there to promote something. But I would’ve rathered a smoother entrance.”

Lil Wayne stood by his social media comments on Undisputed. He thought his opinion of Davis caused problems at the arena.

“When I tweeted that, that was obviously raw emotions,” the former Cash Money Records artist said. “But there’s truth. I mean it’s all facts behind my beliefs and behind that opinion. I did believe that I felt like there was something about the whole A.D. thing that was kinda like, ‘We don’t need this guy.’”

Lil Wayne previously said the Lakers would not win another NBA championship unless they got rid of Davis. He made the remarks on a 2023 episode of Undisputed.

SIGNS: Georgia Mother Caught With Her Child Riding In Car Trunk Gets Police Visit

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: Rumors

A Gwinnett County mother is attempting to defend her name as a parent after a viral video has landed her in police custody.

In case you missed it, Dianna Shaffer was filmed driving down the freeway in her Dodge Challenger with the trunk open and a child in the trunk. The clip went viral and caused an uproar on social media. But according to Shaffer, her 12-year-old son was riding halfway in the backseat and halfway in the trunk in order to hold on to a baby bassinet.

After a woman reported the video to authorities, they met with Shaffer at her home in Duluth. In a recent report, she described her actions as an “embarrassing” moment and expressed her concern for her child.

“I would never want to put him intentionally in danger,” Shaffer said. “It was an embarrassing moment. I told him to sit right here, and to hold the leg of the bassinet so it didn’t fly out because the trunk was up.”

Shaffer was charged with reckless conduct and a seat belt violation.

NLE Choppa Trolls Blueface With Chrisean Rock “Face Tattoo”

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

NLE Choppa surprised fans by showing off a supposed tattoo of Chrisean Rock on his face. The Memphis-bred rapper used the fake tattoo to promote his “Shotta Flow 7 (Remix)” featuring Lil Mabu.

“Just Cause You Was In My Video @chrisean,” he wrote with kissing emojis. “Shotta Flow 7 (REMIX) FT @lilmabu OUT NOW #FreeBlueFace.”

NLE Choppa shared the photos a week after dropping the “Shotta Flow 7 (Remix).” The track dissed Blueface, the father of Chrisean Rock’s child.

“We’ll leave a n#### blue in the face/How a n#### want the fade knowing he had to go to jail the next day?/P#### boy, you something like my b#### Rose Toy/KKK, got Ks on Ks, wanna f### Kim K and make Kanye watch,” NLE Choppa rapped.

He added, “Ay, squeeze it, pop it, his top, crop it/How you a real n#### beating your Barbies?/Killer? Stop it, football prospect/Rather ask Floyd Mayweather, come box me.”

https://www.instagram.com/p/C38pfjoypbG/?hl=en&img_index=1

Blueface and NLE Choppa’s feud began in late 2023. The bad blood between the two resulted in a pitch for a celebrity boxing match.

“Let’s box @bluefacebleedem,” NLE Choppa wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter). “who can set up celebrity boxing match in Vegas me and him hit me ASAP. He undefeated vs women ion respect a n#### that put his hands on em anyway!”

Blueface is currently in jail for violating his probation in a California assault case. He was taken into custody in January. He is scheduled to be released in July.

Last month, a Nevada judge issued a bench warrant for Blueface while he was behind bars. He faced the warrant for a probation violation in a Las Vegas shooting case.

Blueface received a suspended sentence of two to five years for a shooting outside a Las Vegas strip club. His shooting case’s probation violation stemmed from a December 2023 incident in Utah.

Fivio Foreign Comes Meek Mill’s Defense Amid Diddy Drama: “We Gone Hold Each Other Down”

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: News

Fivio Foreign is standing up for Meek Mill. The Philadelphia rapper has been scrutinized for his relationship with embattled music mogul Diddy over the last few days.

On Wednesday (February 28), Foreign inserted himself in the drama via Twitter (X) by aligning himself with Meek, despite the allegations being levied against him. In his brief message, the “Big Drip” rapper seemingly condemned Akademiks (though he didn’t mention him by name) while also preaching unity.

“The streets ah never a weird industry n#### take out a n#### like meek..,” Foreign wrote in the tweet. “He do to much for the trenches. We gon hold each other down from now on it’s 2024.. It’s Blue World Order.”

Fivio Foreign’s comments follow negative remarks from public figures such as Andrew Tate and Akademiks, who recently shared reactions to Meek Mill being named and accused of having a sexual relationship with Diddy in a lawsuit.

Since being implicated in the lawsuit, Meek Mill has bashed Akademiks in several posts, accusing the internet personality of trying to destroy Black men with salacious media coverage.

“Akademiks an alcoholic fully powered by the White man … who you think posting that on every website!” Meek wrote on Twitter. “They be so madddddddddddd they can’t stop its few groups! lol. Get me his addy ima shoot a full production music video in front of his house! Lol seriously get me that one in NJ!!!!!”

Saweetie Claims Industry Executives Advised Her To “Twerk More” To Succeed Early In Her Career

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: News

Saweetie is opening up about the sexist career advice music industry professionals allegedly gave her in the early stages of her career. In a recent interview with Allure, Saweetie explained how her initial success is part of what brought the pressure from her label to switch up her style.

“‘Icy Grl’ and ‘My Type’ blew up so quick, I was on the market almost immediately,” Saweetie said. “So I didn’t have time to develop.”

Saweetie said she was told she needed to change everything from her vernacular to her social media usage.

“I was told I should twerk more on my Instagram,” she said. “I was told that my voice was very boring. I was told that I rapped too monotone and needed more energy. I was told that I needed to share more of my life on the internet.”

She believes some of the marketing initiatives previously presented to her were disingenuous.

“I’m going to twerk when I want to,” she said. “That’s not going to be my marketing. And if that’s what you truly love to do, then empower yourself through that. But that’s not innate to me. If I get caught at a party or if I’m turning up, okay, cool. But I’m not finna do that because you guys think I should. That’s lazy marketing.”

Saweetie went on to provide an update on her upcoming debut album, Pretty B##ch, which has been delayed since 2021, working in television on series such as Grown-ish and Bel-Air, the current landscape of female rappers and more.

Fivio Foreign Defends Meek Mill Amid Gay Accusations

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

Meek Mill has been at the center of attention on social media for days. The Dream Chasers leader continues to push back against allegations about his sexuality.

A music producer who formerly worked with Sean “Diddy” Combs sued The Love Album: Off the Grid creator for sexual misconduct. Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones also alleged in the lawsuit that a “Philadelphia rapper who dated Nicki Minaj” had sex with Diddy.

Meek Mill vehemently denied being gay. He also implied a conspiracy is in the works to damage his reputation. While commenters like DJ Akademiks called out Meek for the accusations, Fivio Foreign supported the Philadelphia native.

“The streets ah never [let] a weird industry n#### take out a n#### like Meek. He do [too] much for the trenches. We gon hold each other down from now on it’s 2024. It’s Blue World Order!” Fivio Foriegn tweeted.

Meek Mill spent the last several days denying the rumors of him secretly being part of the LGBTQ+ community. After arguing with DJ Akademiks on X for hours, the REFORM Alliance founding partner eventually began focusing on his recently released Heathenism EP.

Back in 2022, Fivio faced allegations of being bisexual and a sex addict. His ex-girlfriend, Jasmine Giselle, claimed the Brooklyn-bred rapper watched gay pornography. Giselle later recanted those salacious statements about the father of her child.

Fivio Foriegn and Meek Mill linked up for the “Same 24” collaboration. The song’s official music video landed on YouTube on January 19. Those visuals have amassed over 3 million views since its premiere on the platform.

Cardi B returned today (March 1) with her new “Like What (Freestyle)” music video. Her latest song samples Missy Elliott’s “She’s a B####” single from 1999.

Missy Elliott co-signed “Like What (Freestyle)” on her Instagram Story. The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer and Songwriters Hall of Famer tagged Cardi B in her post along with three dancing women emojis.

Timbaland produced “She’s a B####” off the Da Real World album. The Verzuz co-founder also showed love to Cardi with an Instagram Story post. His caption simply read, “Da [crown emoji].”

In July 2023, Missy Elliott reflected on her iconic “She’s a B####” visuals. The rapper/singer stated, “When I say AHEAD of the GAME! Looking back at these songs & videos this is ART! This is what Risk & a SHIFT in music look like.”

Cardi B’s “Like What (Freestyle)” arrives as speculation surrounding her next project continues to grow. The New York-raised entertainer has not released a studio LP since 2018’s Invasion of Privacy.

Fans of the self-described Trap Selena believe “Like What (Freestyle)” could be a precursor to her sophomore album. The record’s Offset-directed music video ends with the words, “This is just the beginning… stay tuned.”

As of press time, “Like What (Freestyle)” has reached the Top 5 of the iTunes all-genre chart. Cardi B’s latest song made it to No. 1 on the app’s Hip-Hop/rap chart. Its music video is trending at No. 3 on YouTube.

Lil Wayne Blasts Los Angeles Lakers Over Alleged Mistreatment

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

Lil Wayne wants the world to know that he has an issue with the Los Angeles Lakers. The part-time host of the Undisputed sports talk show expressed his frustrations online.

“Wow! Got treated like s### at the Laker game just now but I figured they’d do me [like] that sooner or later,” Lil Wayne tweeted on Friday (March 1).

Lil Wayne has been a vocal critic of Anthony Davis on Undisputed. In November 2023, the New Orleans native called on his favorite team to trade the 9-time NBA All-Star/1-time NBA champion.

“If the Lakers want to be a championship team, in the future as well, they got to get rid of AD,” Wayne stated. On another episode, the Hip-Hop superstar also argued, “He ain’t done nothing for us, bro. That ‘bubble championship’ – that don’t count. That man has done nothing for the Lakers.”

Lil Wayne did not elaborate on exactly how the NBA franchise allegedly mistreated him. The diamond-certified recording artist has been seen sitting courtside in the Crypto.com Arena for Lakers games in recent months.

Drake Pays Tribute To Fans Killed After His Show, Gifts Cancer Survivor $25K 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Drake paid tribute to a mother and daughter who were tragically killed after leaving his concert in St. Louis, Missouri last month. 

Laticha Bracero and her daughter Alyssa Cordova were leaving the Enterprise Center on February 14 when they were struck by a speeding driver. The car drove through a red light, hitting the mother and daughter as they crossed an intersection and colliding with several other vehicles.  

At one of his Buffalo, New York shows earlier this week, Drake urged concertgoers to show love to one another before extending condolences to Bracero and Cordova. 

“You never know what somebody else’s reality will be when they walk out of this building,” he began. “I want you to take five seconds out of your day to make somebody else’s day. Just show them some love because you never know what comes next.”  

Drake continued, “I think one of the most important things in life is the idea that you have two choices. You can either wake up every day and you can be a piece of s### or you can wake up every day and be a decent person. So I appreciate y’all being good to each other. Rest in peace to that young mother and her child.” 

Officials charged 22-year-old Monte Henderson with two counts each of armed criminal action and involuntary manslaughter, per STL Today. He was freed on a $20,000 bond and has since been released from custody. 

Meanwhile, Drake also gifted $25,000 to a cancer survivor after spotting them waving a sign in the stands. 

“Everything happens for a reason,” he said. “So tonight, I’d like to give you $25,000.” 

Akademiks Accuses Meek Mill Of Calling Cops On Him: “Police Is Outside My House” 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Akademiks claimed Meek Mill sent the police to his home after officers arrived while he was live streaming. The accusations came following a day of beefing on social media with the Dream Chasers Records founder.  

The controversial internet personality trolled the Philly rapper over apparent references to Meek Mill in Lil Rod’s sexual harassment and assault lawsuit against Diddy, igniting a bitter back and forth. After declaring he was willing to die to stop Akademiks, Meek Mill claimed the Pennsylvania Governor intervened and ceased responding.  

Akademiks then took the beef to his Twitch channel and continued ranting. However, he was interrupted when cops arrived at his door.  

“Hold up chat,” Akademiks said suddenly. “Who the hell this? I think this b#### a## n#### Meek Mill done sent the cops to my house. I don’t know if you hear my dogs. The police is outside my house now. “This n#### is just a h##. This n#### got police at my house now. You over here tweeting out you want my address. Of course police is gone’ come to my house. Meek Mill got the police at my house gang.” 

Ak then left for two minutes before briefly returning to accuse Meek Mill of snitching on him. 

“Now I’m about to walk outside my own house with my hands up because of Meek Mill,” Akademiks stated. “Congratulations. Y’all gangsta rapper finally won.” 

He returned around six minutes later following a conversation with the cops. 

“I’m not even gone’ say he did it,” he said, seemingly walking back his accusations. “I’m a just say the police thought there was a break-in at my house.” 

After saying he assured cops that despite the calls they were getting, there was no break-in, he reverted to blaming Meek Mill for the surprise visit. 

“This is all because of Meek Mill,” he insisted before pointing to a tweet with Meek asking for Ak’s address, questioning, “How is he not a rat?” 

Kanye West Leaks Alleged Adidas “Talking Points” Email In Ongoing Feud Over “Fake Yeezys” 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Kanye West is continuing his tirade against Adidas over the brand selling “fake Yeezys,” leaking an alleged insider memo including “talking points” surrounding their latest release. 

West posted the document on Instagram Thursday evening (February 29). It includes “reactive talking points” for staff if questioned about the latest Adidas-branded Yeezys.  

“Adidas is the sole owner of the product, including the design rights for existing products as well as previous colorways,” the email notes. “The products are existing Yeezy designs initiated in 2022.” 

The memo also states, “Adidas honored contractual obligations.” 

According to the doc, Adidas encouraged staff to “refrain for extended conversations or altercations regarding this topic,” and to use the talking points “only to assist in general comments by consumers,” not media. 

“This is the document that they give employees at adidas when asked questions about Yeezy,” West wrote in the caption.  

He also linked his feud with Adidas to his issues with ex-wife Kim Kardashian over the children’s schooling and cancel culture generally. 

“There is an overlap to adidas and Kim ignoring my opinion on where my kids go to school or people ignoring my name change or the entire celebrity culture ostracizing me for my political opinion,” he added. “It all comes down to human rights which you sacrifice when you’re stigmatized with mental issues. All these situations are actually far crazier than what I’ve been branded to be.”

Kanye West’s DM’s Over Adidas’ “Fake Yeezys”

Other screenshots were DMs to accounts apparently promoting the latest Adidas Yeezy release. “Are you getting paid to promote this,” he asked. 

“Even if yall never liked me this is still next level robbery,” West wrote to the adidasoriginals IG account.  

Meanwhile, on Wednesday, West called out Kim Kardashian on Instagram, demanding that she remove their four children from Sierra Canyon school. 

Cardi B Takes Aim At Her Rivals In Offset-Directed Video For “Like What” Freestyle 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Cardi B has blessed her fans with new music following a brief hiatus, dropping a new freestyle, “Like What,” accompanied by a video. 

The track, Cardi’s first of the year arrived at midnight on Friday (March 1) and includes a sample of Missy Elliott’s 1999 banger, “She’s a B####.” Cardi leaves little to the imagination in the video, wearing a series of revealing outfits showing off her toned bod. 

The end credits surprised fans with the announcement the video was “Directed by Offset,” before teasing “This is just the beginning …stay tuned.”    

Cardi begins the track on smoke, putting her rivals on notice. “Ayo, let me put some gas in this m##########’ year, b####,’ she says in the intro. “I ain’t really talked my s### in a minute. Like who the f### these b###### really think they talkin’ to? Like, b####, is you f#####’ dumb?” 

Cardi B – Like What

She also fired off a few subliminals throughout the freestyle including one fans suspect is a shot at former collaborator JT. The pair unexpectedly fell out in late 2022 and traded shots on the timeline before JT went on to work with longtime Cardi rival, Nicki Minaj.  

“First, that b#### hate me, then this b#### hate me,” Cardi raps. “And somehow, they link up and they become friends, like, how?” 

The lyric “Got your first pair of Ricks, now you stylin’?” also struck a chord among listeners.  

Hours before release, Cardi shared a snippet of the visuals including a scene where she dons a furry pink outfit with an eye-catching pair of Rick Owens boots.  

A short while later, the Bardi Gang fanbase noticed that JT shared a throwback photo featuring the same pink boots, leading fans to speculate the City Girls rapper was shading Cardi. 

“JT took the bait and posted them pics only for it to end up on Cardi’s song,” one fan wrote.

Texas authorities accused Houston rap artist Viper, who was arrested for kidnapping a woman in January, of kidnapping a second woman and sexually assaulting her. According to the Houston Chronicle, Viper was charged with aggravated kidnapping and sexual assault on Wednesday (February 28).

Viper, whose real name is Lee Carter, allegedly kidnapped the second victim with the intent to violate and sexually abuse her in July 2021. A criminal complaint said he sexually assaulted the woman 10 days after she was first held captive.

The rapper was hit with the latest charges from behind bars in the Harris County Jail. He has remained in custody on kidnapping charges since January.

Viper was previously accused of kidnapping another woman and keeping her locked up in a garage for years. The victim said he abducted her when she was pregnant and panhandling on the street. He allegedly asked her if she needed help and told her to get in his car. He drove to her his home and kept her there against her will for four to five years.

The first victim told police Viper forced her to have sex with him and take drugs. She was occasionally allowed to leave the garage to take showers. She never saw anyone else at his home, but the woman could hear her captor arguing with other women when she showered. She had not showered in two months when she spoke to police.

Viper’s first victim managed to contact the police to report her kidnapping in April 2023. She was able to reach authorities after Viper let her use his laptop. She utilized a Text Now app to alert a 911 dispatcher to her situation. Police responded to the scene and heard her voice coming from a window of the rapper’s home. She explained what happened to her. Officers found her in an “extremely malnourished” state.

Delaware Hip-Hop artist Amillion has gone from selling out shows to selling his own brand of water, 1NA Alkaline Water. 

The Delaware Key to the City holder began selling via his website www.1NAStore.com, before branching out when sales exploded, and he couldn’t keep up the demand himself. He then launched in local stores before landing a deal with a major retailer. 1NA Alkaline Water will soon be on the shelves of ALDI stores.

“I was inspired by Rap legends before me who became Moguls that also owned beverages like Jay-Z’s ‘Ace of Spades’ champagne, Snoop Dog’s ‘Cali Red’ wine and Diddy’s ‘Ciroc’ vodka,” Amillion told AllHipHop. “But I wanted to be the artist who had a fully healthy drink!” 

Describing the beverage as “a pure product reflective of my brand 1NA (One In A Million) that could appeal to youth as well as adults,” Amillion continued: “My music has helped many from a mental health perspective. I felt it was important to also have a real product that helps improve the physical health of the local community, customers globally and my own family. 

“My daughter is a world champion cheerleader who likes great tasting water. On the other side my aunt Gwen just passed away battling cancer on Tuesday, (February 27, 2024). I’ve also lost my Uncle William and grandfather McKinley to cancer. My father Lucas is currently battling cancer now so having a product that helps fight cancer and other ailments is very personal to me.”  

He added, “This is just as important as making Hip-Hop and Black History! Special thanks to Miami Alkaline for helping turn my idea into fruition. Special thanks to ALDIs grocery store chain for taking a chance to give a small-town kid with a big dream an opportunity. ” 

Amillion concluded, “I hope this inspires more local support and inspires more big supermarket chains to stock 1NA Alkaline Water in a store near you.”
