Mariah Carey Signs Rihanna’s Breast In Viral Fan Girl Moment 

Rihanna proved just how big of a Mariah Carey fan she is at a recent concert. 

The Fenty billionaire was in the audience at the Barclays Center on Tuesday (December 17), as the superstar songstress made a triumphant return to the stage following a recent bout of sickness. 

Carey made her way to Rihanna during her final Christmas Time Tour concert. She then stunned fans by pulling out a red Sharpie to autograph Rihanna’s bare breast. 

“Mariah Carey is signing my t##,” Rihanna announced to the audience. This s### is f###### epic.” 

Tuesday night’s concert followed Carey’s recent announcement that she was forced to cancel several shows. She axed performances in Pittsburgh, Newark, N.J., and Belmont, N.Y., after coming down with the flu. 

Luckily for Rihanna, on Monday (December 16), Mariah Carey confirmed she would perform at the Brooklyn concert. 

“Lambs, thank you for making my #Christmastime so special,” she wrote on Instagram. “I’ve loved singing with you every night, and I can’t wait to see you all tomorrow in Brooklyn for the last show of the tour.”

Before falling ill, Mariah Carey was surprised by her 13-year-old twins Monroe and Moroccan to celebrate her holiday classic “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for another year.   

“I couldn’t have dreamed of a better time or place to celebrate the news than on stage with my amazing fans, my kids and my #Christmastime tour family,” Carey shared. “I love you and am so grateful to you all.”

Megan Thee Stallion Seeks Restraining Order Against Tory Lanez, Alleges “Psychological Warfare” 

Megan Thee Stallion has reportedly filed for a civil restraining order against Tory Lanez over his alleged continued harassment. 

On Tuesday (December 17), the Texan rapper requested the restraining order, asking that the Los Angeles Superior Court judge prevent Lanez from orchestrating harassment against her through social media and third parties. 

Megan Thee Stallion’s legal team produced records of alleged Zelle payments between Lanez’s father, Sonstar Peterson, and blogger Milagro Gramz.

Meg filed a lawsuit against Gramz earlier this year, accusing her of waging a cyberstalking campaign on behalf of Tory Lanez. She sued for defamation, harassment, and cyberstalking, which she claims caused significant emotional and reputational harm.   

The Zelle records show Lanez’s father made six payments to the blogger between October 2020 and March 2022, totaling $3,000. 

Megan accuses Lanez of engaging in “psychological warfare,” which she says has deeply affected her mental health.  

In the document, Megan stated she “sometimes wishes Tory would have shot and killed me, if I would have known I was going to go through this torture.” 

The “HISS” hitmaker, real name Megan Pete, claims Lanez has continued to harass her from prison.  

“Despite being sentenced to 10 years in prison for shooting Ms. Pete, Mr. Peterson continues to subject her to repeated trauma and revictimization,” the filing alleges. 

Additionally, in a recent filing, Megan Thee Stallion’s attorneys produced recordings of Lanez’s prison calls. In one alleged call, Lanez and his father “confidently asserted” Megan “would be unable to prove” Lanez paid Gramz for “attacking” her.  

The complaint accuses Gramz, who is represented by Tory Lanez attorneys, of “consciously coordinating,” with the singer to amplify his “disproven and baseless theories to help him seek retribution” against Megan Thee Stallion. 

Diddy’s Alleged Drug Mule Cleared Of All Felony Charges 

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ alleged drug mule, Brendan Paul, is reportedly off the hook after Florida prosecutors dropped the felony charges against him. 

Paul was arrested for carrying cocaine and marijuana-laced candy back in March after being apprehended at Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport. Cops took him into custody on the same day Homeland Security raided Diddy’s Los Angeles and Miami homes as part of their sex trafficking investigation. 

The 25-year-old was held on bond after being charged with cocaine possession and possession of a controlled substance. 

Additionally, producer Lil Rod named Paul in his sexual assault lawsuit against Diddy. He claimed Paul was a drug mule who allegedly acquired and distributed drugs and guns to the Hip-Hop mogul. 

The producer claimed he personally witnessed Paul engage in these activities on multiple occasions.  

In May, Paul accepted a plea deal with prosecutors for the cocaine possession charge. As a first-time offender, he managed to avoid jail time, agreeing to enroll in a drug diversion program. 

His attorney, Brian Bieber, claimed the case against Paul would be “dismissed in its entirety,” upon completion of the program. 

On Tuesday (December 17) Florida state prosecutors dropped the remaining charge, NBC6 reports.  

Bieber confirmed to the outlet, “Mr. Paul’s case was formally dismissed today – in its entirety.” 

While his alleged drug mule is now a free man, Diddy remains behind bars. He’ll be spending Christmas behind bars after recently dropping his bail appeal.  

Diddy pleaded not guilty to serious federal charges, including sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation for prostitution. He remains held at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center. His trial is set for May 2025. 

Fat Joe Explains Why He Won’t Come Between Remy Ma & Papoose Feud

Fat Joe recently shared his candid thoughts on why he’s staying out of the ongoing feud between estranged Hip-Hop husband-and-wife duo Remy Ma and Papoose.

The New York rap vet explained his rationale during his recent appearance on the Math Hoffa podcast while addressing Remy and Papoose’s recent social media spat over boxer Claressa Shields. Despite his history as a peacemaker and bridge between the rappers he considers family, the Bronx legend revealed that this situation hits too close to home for him to get involved. Joe began by explaining how he found out about the tension mere hours after he spent a night celebrating with his “All The Way Up” collaborator.

“She [Remy Ma] never tells me her personal relationship business, but what I know is I left y’all last night, we went to Brooklyn Chophouse, she treated 10 grown men to dinner, and I woke up in the morning and my phone was going crazy,” Fat Joe said in part. “They was like, ‘Yo, look what’s going on. I’m like, what the f###?’”

Fat Joe admitted it’s a tough situation when asked how he manages his relationship with both Remy and Papoose.

“Because of him, she made me love him,” he said, emphasizing his bond with Papoose. “I really love him that’s my goddaughter’s father. It’s a whole bunch of, you know, I’m like, I try to tell y’all I’m old school morals and s###. So like with me, it’s like, damn, like I’m the godfather. These people pass away, I raise the baby. I don’t like none of that s###.”

Despite his love for both of them, Joe made it clear that he doesn’t see himself as the right person to mediate.

“What I can’t do is stop it, or they won’t listen to me,” he admitted. “The first time she ever asked me for advice, I said, ‘Listen, it’s different. You have a husband, this is your husband’. Nobody come to my house, tell my wife s#it. This is your husband, I can’t get in the middle of that s#it.”

Fat Joe also spoke about the emotional weight of the situation, particularly because of the couple’s child.

“My goddaughter is the most beautiful kid in the world,” he said. “She’s so… you know, I wish this didn’t happen.”

When asked about shielding children from public drama, Joe also reflected on his own experience navigating a public disagreement as a celebrity by explaining how his son reacted during his infamous beef with 50 Cent.

Snoop Dogg Reveals He Called Kendrick Lamar To Apologize For Posting Drake Diss

Lil Wayne isn’t the only rap veteran to come into the lyrical crosshairs of Kendrick Lamar. Like his New Orleans counterpart, Snoop Dogg reached out to the former Top Dawg Entertainment artist as a result.

Snoop, fresh off the release of the Dr. Dre-produced Missionary album, recently sat down with Bootleg Kev’s podcast, where he opened up about contacting Lamar after he name-dropped him on his GNX album track “wacced out murals” over inadvertently instigating the Drake beef.

As the West Coast legend addressed the situation, he revealed that he called Lamar after realizing he had reposted Drake’s “Taylor Made Freestyle” on his personal social media, though his initial post imploring Lamar to respond suggests otherwise. Snoop explained that he supports Lamar’s remarks on the song and insists that he initially didn’t grasp the gravity of Drake’s diss track.

“That’s my nephew, man,” Snoop Dogg said. “He’s a rapper, man. He’s supposed to speak his mind and tell his truth. That’s the way he felt. You know what I’m saying? He has the right to say that. I’m his big homeboy, so I have to take what’s given to me from his perspective because he’s speaking truth. And the truth shouldn’t hurt you. It should make you better.”

He continued, “He feels that I shouldn’t have played that. Damn, I was on them edibles, my n#gga. I gotta be more careful. You right, nephew.”

Snoop Dogg further clarified how the situation unfolded, saying he had unknowingly collaborated on a post that featured the diss track because he was mistakenly under the impression that it was a promotion for he and Dr. Dre’s fledging spirit brand.

“What happened was, I did a collaborative post with someone…” he said. “So when I post it, I’m thinking I’m posting Gin and Juice. I don’t know what song this is. I’m not hip to everybody’s music.”

After realizing his mistake, Snoop said he wasted no time reaching out to Lamar.

“Then I get the word, ‘Nephew didn’t like what you did.’” he recalled. “‘What did I do?’ ‘You played some music’. ‘What music?’ Then I had to go look at it. I’m like, ‘Oh, that’s cuz… damn.’ So then I deleted it, called nephew, left him a message ’cause he ain’t pick up. He was working on his s#it. I left him a message. ‘I apologize. I was f#cked up, my bad’.”

When asked about Drake’s use of his voice in the controversial AI-generated “Taylor Made Freestyle,” Snoop distanced himself from the situation.

“Man, I don’t want to be in nobody’s s#it, man,” he said. “I like being on my own s#it. When it comes to beef, that’s a real parameter that I do have. I don’t get in nobody’s beef. I’m usually the one who ends the beef.”

In April, when Drake originally posted the diss, Snoop appeared to do the opposite and egged the situation on in a humorous and sarcastic post.

“They did what?” he wrote in the caption. “When? How? Are you sure? [Sigh] Y’all have a good night. Why everybody calling my phone, blowing me up? What the f#ck— what happened? What’s going on? I’m going back to bed. Good night.”

Snoop ended the conversation after sharing his brief thoughts on the legal complaints Drake has filed against Spotify and Universal Music Group regarding Lamar’s “Not Like Us” diss.

“Next question,” he said with a laugh, before concluding with a final nod to West Coast culture. “You know, we on the West, we hold court in the streets.”

Cardi B Sparks Debate After She Claims Men Date “Unattractive” Women Just To Manipulate Them

Cardi B made her controversial opinion about men’s dating strategies known during her latest unfiltered livestream session.

The Bronx-bred rapper stirred up a storm after sharing her candid thoughts on why men date women they consider to be less attractive. According to Cardi, it’s all about control, rather than a man’s ability to properly court what she considers a high value woman. She backed up her claim by explaining her theory that “b#tches” who are essentially desperate are more likely to put up with unsavory things in their relationships.

“These b#tches, they don’t have nothing, they have to tolerate everything,” Cardi B began, launching into her fiery take. “If a n#gga do some f#ck s#it, the next day, the b#tch is gonna answer the phone.”

The “WAP” hitmaker hardly stopped there and went on to draw a sharp comparison to how she—and presumably other women of her status—handles disrespect in their relationships.

“You do some f#ck s### to me, I’m putting you on f#cking yellow, n#gga,” she said before holding up a glass of ice water. “You on this. This is where you at, on ice.”

As if Cardi B’s latest rant wasn’t already on an eyebrow-raising roll, she upped the ante by sharing an anecdote about a wealthy man, who Cardi B alleges admitted his dating preferences directly correlate with her proposed thesis.

“I know a guy—a rich, rich muthafucka—and he literally told me to my face, ‘I’d rather deal with a seven and an eight than a 10,’” she revealed.

Cardi added women who aren’t “10s” are willing to settle, saying, “They just don’t feel like they gotta compete. Like, one little thing, and they’re off. They just gotta feel like they already picking.”

According to Cardi B, women who rank as 10s on the mythical attractiveness scale refuse to play along, which some men find intimidating.

“These 10s are not trying to compete,” she said. “They’re just trying to get picked. It’s crazy how that’s how men are thinking nowadays.”

The controversial comments quickly set social media ablaze, with fans and critics alike debating her claims. She recently confessed to leaking her own text conversation with ex Offset because she wanted to make sure she looked like a “bad b#tch.” Cardi and Offset went through a number of infidelity issues before she announced their separation earlier this year.

USHER Stunned By Rubi Rose & Friend’s Raunchy Cherry Eating Antics At Miami Show 

USHER was left speechless after trying to feed a cherry to Rubi Rose and getting more than he bargained for when her friend joined in the fun. 

The R&B singer likes to put on a show at his concerts, engaging with the crowd, particularly his celebrity guests, in unique ways. He regularly went viral for serenading the ladies, a signature move that became a staple of his Las Vegas residency. 

His latest crowd-pleaser involves USHER feeding cherries to his chosen female audience members. The prop has become a notable part of his shows and has created some memorable moments.  

The latest came at his Past Present Future tour stop in Miami on Monday night (December 16).  

USHER was making his way through the audience, cherry in hand, when he spotted Rubi Rose. He made a beeline for the rapper before dangling the cherry over her mouth.  

Rubi Rose toyed with the cherry suggestively before pulling her friend in as USHER looked on, speechless.  

Rubi Rose playfully teased the cherry before pulling her friend in to eat it with her, leaving USHER speechless. 

“When u shy but a real eater,” Rubi Rose wrote alongside a clip of the moment on X (Twitter). 

While USHER was keen to feed his cherry to Rubi Rose, he was initially reluctant when T.I. suggested the singer pull his signature move on the rapper’s wife, Tiny Harris.  

The couple were in the audience at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, last week when USHER passed by with his cup of cherries.  

He soon gave in, and T.I. stood by as Tiny and USHER entertained the crowd. 

Bhad Bhabie Accuses Travis Barker’s Daughter Alabama Of Stealing Boyfriend Le Vaughn 

Bhad Bhabie is going off on Travis Barker’s 18-year-old daughter, Alabama Barker, accusing her of taking her boyfriend and child’s father, Le Vaughn, from her.  

On Monday (December 16), Bhad Bhabie took to social media to put Barker on blast.  

“[Alabama Barker] took my man,” she wrote. She followed up with a series of posts, asserting her newly single status.  “I told LV next time I catch you,” the OnlyFans creator added, “You gone b with them!”  

Alabama Barker didn’t respond to Bhad Bhabie directly, instead writing “Ew” on Instagram. 

However, Barker seemingly addressed the situation on her IG Stories, posting an image of her backed by her new song, “Vogue.” 

“Anyways…..Stream Vogue,” she wrote.  

Bhad Bhabie fans flooded the comment section of Barker’s latest Instagram post, leaving comments like, “So you stole Danielle BD or not?” 

The Alabama Barker accusations arrive less than two weeks after Bhad Bhabie revealed she wants to have more children with Le Vaughn once her cancer treatments are over.   

However, her demeanor in the video raised concerns amid the model’s domestic violence allegations earlier this year. She accused LeVaughn of beating her alongside graphic images of the alleged abuse. 

“I love that man more than I love myself and it’s honestly really sad,” she wrote on Instagram. “But unfortunately this is real life. I know the easy way out is to leave and that’s better said than done. This doesn’t happen this extreme often, but LV definitely has a problem.” 

Bhad Bhabie subsequently claimed Le Vaughn was seeking help, and they reconciled.  

Are Two Legends Set To Fight In The Ring?

It looks like we’re about to see some real fireworks in the new year. A lot of people talk the talk, but allegedly, these two are ready to walk the walk.

I can finally talk about this now. I’ve known for a while that Crazy Legs and Lord Jamar were set to fight each other in the Bahamas. Originally, this showdown was scheduled for Super Bowl weekend. However, due to a venue issue, the fight is no longer taking place on that date.

Let’s rewind a bit. This whole situation began during the Hip-Hop 50 celebrations. A side conversation emerged about Hip-Hop’s origins and where Latinos fit into the culture. I won’t dive too deep into the negativity and nuances, but let’s just say Crazy Legs and Lord Jamar didn’t see eye to eye. Things got heated—extremely heated—on Instagram.

A post shared by Chuck Jigsaw Creekmur (@chuckcreekmur)

It escalated to the point where Crazy Legs, the pioneering breaker and B-boy, challenged Brand Nubian rapper Lord Jamar to a fight—an actual fistfight! Initially, it appeared that Lord Jamar wasn’t interested. However, it seems he reconsidered once the right price was involved. Enter Celebrity Boxing, who reportedly stepped in and arranged the fight.

The problem? A new post by Crazy Legs suggests that Lord Jamar might not be as ready to step into the ring as everyone thought.

I can’t say for sure, but that’s the vibe I’m getting. Crazy Legs, on the other hand, looks absolutely ready to rumble. In fact, in a recent video, he’s seen wrapping his hands, clearly preparing to throw down. I’ve got to say, it looks menacing.

Now, let’s get to the big questions:

  1. Do you want to see this fight?
  2. Who do you think would win?
  3. Should this even be happening?

Both men are in their mid to late 50s, and at that age, physical fights can get risky. But maybe not for these two alpha men. We saw that Mike Tyson scrap. Who knows—maybe they’ll give us a true “Hip-Hop heavyweight bout.”

Either way, this feels like it could get as wild as a Blueface fight… but with way more history behind it.

50 Cent Attributes JAY-Z’s Success To Beyoncé’s “Marriage Contract” 

50 Cent believes JAY-Z would never have achieved the level of success he has now were it not for his marriage to Beyoncé. 

The G-Unit mogul opined on Hov’s status during a recent controversial appearance on the “FLAGRANT” podcast.  

“When Jay signed his contract, the big one was with Beyonce,” 50 Cent began. “When he signed that contract, the marriage contract, he got trophies. Now those f###### trophies came rolling in buddy. He started getting Grammys left and right.” 

The hosts erupted in fits of laughter as Fif’ continued, attributing the vast majority of Hov’s Grammy wins to his wife. 

“If you look at his career, he had one,” he added. “He got like 20 now.” 

When asked directly if he believes JAY-Z’s “success is derived from the marriage” to Beyoncé, 50 Cent agreed.   

“Absolutely,” the “Many Men” hitmaker replied. “He’s been treated differently.” 

According to 50 Cent, the Roc Nation honcho is viewed as the “biggest” business and family man “because of the position Beyoncé’s in.” 

While 50 Cent was happy poking fun at JAY-Z, he refused to implicate him in any of Diddy’s alleged crimes following the recent lawsuit.   

When asked whether he believes JAY-Z was aware of Diddy’s alleged shocking behavior, 50 Cent declined to answer. He stated, “No matter how you answer that s### you snitching.” 

Nonetheless, he was quick to troll the father of three amid news of the lawsuit.   

50 Cent joked about the Super Bowl Halftime Show getting canceled and clowned JAY-Z for attending a movie premiere with Beyoncé and their daughter in the wake of the lawsuit.

Rick Ross Splits With Girlfriend Days After She Defended Their Relationship 

Rick Ross is single again after splitting with his new girlfriend, Justice Williams, less than two months after going public and days after Williams dismissed breakup rumors. 

Rozay debuted his relationship with the cosmetics brand owner in mid-October, lavishing her in diamonds, enjoying dates at the zoo and whisking her off on a romantic trip to Dubai. 

However, according to a TikTok Williams posted on Wednesday (December 16), the relationship is over. Furthermore, Williams claims she was the one to end their brief romance.  

She shared a video of herself dancing in a robe, writing, “When your 30 minutes up,” over the video.

Williams elaborated in the comment section announcing, “I broke up with him.” 

She also explained deleted all traces of Rozay from her Instagram. “Gotta start fresh,” she wrote. “It’s almost a new year.” 

However, just two days earlier, Justice Williams insisted she and Rick Ross were still going strong during an Instagram Live.  

“I never said that anyone broke up,” she asserted. “Don’t come painting a narrative. Don’t do that. I’m still very much happily in my relationship.”

The breakup comes weeks after Williams shut down trolls claiming she wouldn’t last 90 days with Rick Ross

She claimed “God” and “divine timing” brought her to Ross before addressing doubters who said the romance wouldn’t last.    

“Like y’all said, if I’m here for 30, 60, 90 days, then so be it,” Williams said. “But when I’m here past 30, 60, 90 days, I want everybody to go buy me some type of electronic. Y’all owe me.” 

Meanwhile, Rick Ross’ ex, Tia Kemp, accurately predicted the split back in November. She joked that Ross has Williams under “contract” and said the couple will be over before the end of the year.     

“Y’all know the girl will be gone in the month,” she declared. “Probably before Christmas, man. He got too many children he gotta f###### support for Christmas. The b#### ain’t going to get nothing.”   

Skilla Baby: Reppin’ Detroit & Getting Honors

Skilla Baby has quickly become one of the most talked-about names in Hip-Hop. The Detroit native is building a legacy rooted in authenticity, hard work, and a deep love for his city. And people are taking notice. In this exclusive interview, Skilla Baby opens up about his journey—from growing up in Detroit to working with industry heavyweights like 50 Cent. There are levels, even on the ground. He talks to D-Nellz and shares how he balances success, community, and his creative process. With big plans for 2025, Skilla Baby proves he’s not just here for the moment—he’s here to stay.

Skilla Baby Talks Detroit Pride, BET Nominations, and Building His Legacy

AllHipHop: How you feeling, brother?

Skilla Baby: I’m good, man. How you doing?

AllHipHop: I’m great! First off, congrats on everything you’ve achieved. Let’s start with the XXL Freshman cover. You got the fan vote, which is different—it’s the people choosing you. What did that moment mean for you?

Skilla Baby: It felt amazing, man. XXL is a big deal. Not everyone gets that opportunity. To know the fans wanted me there? That was special. It felt like I really solidified myself in Hip-Hop.

AllHipHop: Facts. And then you got that BET Award nomination, which is huge. Where were you when you found out?

Skilla Baby: I was at home, and it felt unreal. Growing up as a Black kid, BET was everything—106 & Park, the Basement with Big Tigger—I watched it all. So being a part of that now feels like a dream.

AllHipHop: Let’s talk Detroit. From Eminem to Big Sean, T-Grizzly, and yourself, Detroit has a rich culture. What was it like growing up there?

Skilla Baby: Detroit is gritty but small. Everyone either wants to rap, hoop, or play sports. I slept on Eminem for a while, but man, he’s one of the greatest. Detroit’s always had talent—Motown, Aretha Franklin, Anita Baker, Big Sean, and so many more. People overlook us, but we’re coming strong now. Detroit versus everybody!

AllHipHop: That pride is real. Speaking of music influences, you mentioned Anita Baker is your favorite artist. Where does that appreciation come from?

Skilla Baby: My dad was born in 1946, so I grew up on older music. In Detroit, music was all we had. Feel-good music was everything. My dad instilled values in me—hard work, discipline—and I appreciate those lessons now.

AllHipHop: Speaking of values, you made headlines when you chose to meet with the police after being harassed. Most artists go the “f##k the police” route. Why take that approach?

Skilla Baby: It’s bigger than me. I want to do events and reach the kids without problems. We need the police to keep things safe—for the kids, for civilians. I’m not the guy to call the police, but I also need them to do their job so we can build a better community.

AllHipHop: That’s growth right there. You’ve also been vocal about not promoting negativity in your music. Does that ever hinder your creative process?

Skilla Baby: At first, yeah. But I try to stay authentic. Some songs are about what I’ve seen or experienced. I just make sure to put out music that represents me and my journey.

AllHipHop: You’re balancing it well. Now let’s talk sports—you dropped “Donovan McNabb” and mentioned your cousin Bryce Underwood, the #1 football recruit in the country. What’s it like seeing him succeed?

Skilla Baby: Bryce is incredible. He’s committed to Michigan, and he’s the perfect athlete and student—focused, smart, humble. I look up to him, honestly. He hasn’t played a snap yet, and people are already hyped.

AllHipHop: That’s dope. Switching gears, you mentioned earlier that 50 Cent has been mentoring you. How did that connection happen?

Skilla Baby: My manager Roccett, who’s BMF, connected us. 50 has been a huge mentor—advice, opportunities—he really pushes me in the right direction. He does a lot behind the scenes for people, and he doesn’t even brag about it. I appreciate that.

AllHipHop: That’s real. Before we go, what’s next for you in 2025?

Skilla Baby: I just dropped CM3, so go check that out. Next year, I’m dropping my first label album. I’m making sure it’s big—sonically right, great features, and proper press. I’ve also been acting, taking classes, and auditioning for major roles. 2025 is going to be my Hall of Fame run—I want to become an icon.

AllHipHop: Love to hear it, man. Skilla Baby, thanks for chopping it up. Wishing you all the success next year!

Skilla Baby: Appreciate you, bro.

Chlöe Bailey & Burna Boy Seemingly Confirm Romance On Second Night In Nigeria 

Chlöe Bailey and Burna Boy appeared very much a couple after partying the night away during the singer’s second night in Lagos, Nigeria. 

The pair turned heads and had social media in a frenzy after putting on a flirty display on Sunday night (December 16). However, they turned up the heat a day later and apparently couldn’t keep their hands off each other at a Lagos night stop. 

Footage from the night shows Chlöe Bailey and Burna Boy smiling together and gazing into each other’s eyes. In other footage, they’re locked in a steamy embrace and whispering sweet nothings.  

In one video, Bailey proudly wears Burna’s “ODG” chain and pendant, worth a reported $1 million. 

Social Media Reacts To Chlöe Bailey & Burna Boy Rumored Romance

While neither Bailey nor Burna Boy have spoken publicly about the apparent blossoming romance, social media users had plenty to say. One critic slammed Bailey and her sister Halle over their “obsession with loser, degenerate males.” 

However, the singer also had her defenders. “We only saw Chloe with Gunna and Burna & we only seen Halle with the ddg,” one fan replied. “So what are you talking about? Ain’t no way Gunna & ddg are seen as scums & degenerates.” 

Meanwhile, others referenced the Nigerian icon’s famous ex, Stefflon Don, with one stating, “Burna boy flying Chloe Bailey in to Nigeria on Steff London’s birthday has to be the biggest Villain move I’ve ever seen.” 

As news of Burna Boy and Chlöe Bailey’s rumored romance broke, an old video resurfaced of the “Last Last” hitmaker gifting Stefflon Don a Rolls Royce Cullinan for her birthday last year.

While the British rapper showed off the gift on social media back in 2023, she never revealed who bought it for her. Fans accused her of leaking the video amid the buzz about Burna seemingly moving on with Bailey. 

Offset Seemingly Lashes Out At “Liar” Cardi B: “Pray For Them Kids” 

Offset is seemingly hitting out at his estranged wife, Cardi B, criticizing her parenting skills and branding her a liar despite partying together for his birthday over the weekend.  

Despite Cardi B’s recent claims that she and Offset are on good terms, it seems he now feels differently.  

The former Migos rapper took to Instagram on Monday evening with a cryptic post that appeared to be a thinly veiled dig at the NYC rapper who recently aired out alleged DMs of Offset begging to sleep with her.  

“Lies told to make me look bad,” he wrote over an image of him at his recent birthday bash. 

“I couldn’t play how you do,” Offset added. “Pray for them kids.” 

Offset’s remarks arrive after his social media accounts were allegedly compromised over the weekend.  

Cardi B twerked up a storm at Offset’s birthday party just hours after their private messages spilled onto social media. 

Offset’s Instagram DMs surfaced online, showing a heated exchange with Cardi B in March. In one message, Offset accuses Cardi of cheating and getting pregnant for another man. 

In response, Cardi B leaked her own messages, slamming the father of her children for cheating, naming his alleged fling, and even accusing his mother of stealing from her. 

Cardi B Explains Why She Leaked Offset’s DMs

The leaked messages spread like wildfire online. Cardi B addressed the situation during an X (Twitter) Spaces chat, claiming Offset was hacked. 

“S### is old. It’s not on purpose. I will never get back with this n####,” she said. “But I’m not even gonna lie, we’ve been peaceful for a week.” 

She also insisted “we been on good terms,” and said she leaked her DMs because she felt played.

Meanwhile, Offset’s “Pray for them kids,” remark comes amid Cardi’s claims that Child Protective Services (CPS) has been harassing her. 

An anonymous individual reported her to CPS back in October, but the state-run watchdog recently returned to her home to interview her children. 

Lil Wayne Reveals He Spoke To Kendrick Lamar, Addresses Rumored Super Bowl Appearance 

Lil Wayne is opening up about a recent conversation with Kendrick Lamar about the upcoming 2025 Super Bowl Halftime Show and his reaction to K. Dot referencing him on “wacced out murals.” 

During a new interview with Skip Bayless aired Monday evening (December 16), the New Orleans native revealed he shared some words of encouragement with Lamar and said the pair are “cool.”

While Lil Wayne admitted he isn’t over it yet, he has embraced the decision and moved on. 

“I wanna get to the point where I’m undeniable,” Wayne explained. “I want them to walk in there and have 10 other choices and whoever’s in charge says ‘No, you have to go with him.’”   

Lil Wayne also revealed he hadn’t heard Kendrick Lamar’s “wacced out murals.”  

The Young Money founder previously reacted to the track hours after Lamar’s GNX dropped.   

“Man wtf I do?!” he tweeted. “Let this giant sleep. I beg u all. No one really wants destruction, not even me but I shall destroy if disturbed. On me. Love.” 

On the track, Dot raps, “I used to bump Tha Carter III, I held my Rollie chain proud/Irony, I think my hard work let Lil Wayne down.” 

“I think he’s a fan, like I’m a fan of his music,” Wayne stated, adding, “He saw with everybody else. He saw how much it meant to me, I think that’s all he means.” 

He also said Lamar never “let me down,” acknowledging it wasn’t the Compton MC’s decision.  

Wayne continued: “There was no explanation that was needed for that. I think I understand. His hard work is the reason why he made it there, and obviously that part about letting me down is me just being upset and disappointed about not getting the spot.” 

Lil Wayne Wishes Kendrick Lamar All The Best

Nonetheless, Lil Wayne says he and Lamar have spoken about the Super Bowl, adding, “I wished him all the best and told him he better kill it.” 

While there were rumors of a surprise appearance at the Halftime Show, Lil Wayne squashed any speculation. “I’m not gonna even be in the country,” he said.  

Lil Wayne posted a video shortly after the NFL announced Kendrick Lamar as headliner back in September.  

“It broke me,” he said before accepting responsibility for not mentally preparing himself for the news.

JAY-Z’s Attorney: Assault Case Will “Crumble” Due To Accuser’s Inconsistencies  

JAY-Z‘s attorney is adamant his client is innocent and believes the case will “crumble,” due to evidence he claims “proves” the alleged victim’s account is impossible.  

Hov’s lawyer, Alex Spiro, held a press briefing on Monday (December 16), following the accuser’s recent interview admitting discrepancies in her account.  

The Alabama woman, known as Jane Doe, accuses JAY-Z and Sean “Diddy” Combs of assaulting her at an MTV VMA afterparty when she was 13. She acknowledged errors in her recollections but maintained that her overall claims remain valid. 

Spiro expects the case will be dismissed.  

“Obviously JAY-Z did not rape a child,” he said during the briefing, per abc News. “If it’s not, eventually this will all crumble, because it can’t possibly have happened mathematically.” 

Spiro continued, “You don’t even need witnesses. They don’t have any witnesses because this never happened and you don’t need witnesses because the time doesn’t work. There’s literally photographic evidence that proves that this could not have happened.” 

Spiro disputes Doe’s 37-minute timeline and notes other inconsistencies, including photos from the evening that place JAY-Z and Diddy in another location. She also said she met a celebrity at the party who denied being there and was in the Midwest on tour. 

Additionally, Spiro highlighted further discrepancies, including Doe claiming her father picked her up after the alleged assault. During a recent interview, Doe’s father said he could not recall making such a ten-hour round trip.  

“It’s not just that this story is a lie and that it’s not true,” the attorney continued. “It’s provably demonstrably false. This never happened.” 

Alex Spiro Distances JAY-Z From Diddy

Spiro expressed Hov’s frustration “that somebody would be allowed to do this,” labeling the case as a “mockery of the system.” 

“He’s upset that this distracts and dissuades real victims from coming forward,” Spiro said. “He’s upset that his kids and his family have to deal with this.” 

Spiro said that while JAY-Z knew Diddy professionally, he “has nothing to do with” Diddy or his case. ” They knew each other professionally for a number of years,” he explained. “Just like in all professions, people know each other at the musical awards. They support each other.” 

SIGNS: UnitedHealthcare CEO Murder Suspect’s Family Inheritance Worth Millions–Has One Catch

Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old suspect accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, stands to lose millions from his late grandmother’s inheritance due to a strict clause in her will.

According to reports from PEOPLE and Fox News, Mary Mangione, who passed away in 2023, left roughly $30 million to her children and grandchildren. But her last will and testament had a serious condition attached. Apparently, any of her 10 children and or 37 grandchildren “charged, indicted, convicted of or [who] pleads guilty to a felony” is disqualified from receiving their share of the fortune.

The will outlines its intent with the clause in precise and specific wording, which even eerily goes into detail on the situational application of the subsection, should an incident similar to what occurred earlier this month arise.

“It is my precatory desire that the Trustees particularly consider invoking their discretion to implement this Section if the felony is a common law felony, a statutory felony if it is the codification of a common law felony, a heinous felony, any felony involving a physically violent act against another person or property or any drug-related felony involving distribution or intent to distribute any type of drug or illegal substance,” the legal document reads.

“The decision of the Trustees is conclusive, final and binding on everyone. It is my precatory wish that the benefit of the doubt is not given to the individual.”

With Luigi Mangione now facing charges of second-degree murder, firearm possession and forgery following the December 4 shooting of Thompson outside a Manhattan hotel, his eligibility for the inheritance is hanging by a thread.

Aside from the details about the lucrative family inheritance, the shocking case has garnered widespread attention and media coverage due to the nature of the fatal shooting. As of late, the Crime Stoppers bounty reward, which 50 Cent predicted on social media wasn’t large enough, has now come into question.

After Mangione fled the crime scene on a bicycle, investigators lost track of him in Central Park, sparking a five-day manhunt. His capture eventually came on December 9, when a McDonald’s customer in Altoona, Pennsylvania, tipped off an employee about Mangione’s presence. Despite their pivotal role in his arrest, the tipster may not see the $60,000 reward initially advertised by law enforcement.

According to the FBI, reward claims must go through a strict approval process. A U.S. investigating agency must nominate the individual, and the final decision rests with the Secretary of State and the Attorney General. The NYPD, which offered $10,000 through its Crime Stoppers program, may also withhold the reward since the tipster didn’t use the official Crime Stoppers channel.

Adding another layer of intrigue, Mangione has now retained powerhouse attorney Karen Friedman-Agnifilo to lead his defense. Friedman-Agnifilo, the wife of Marc Agnifilo—one of Diddy’s current lawyers—has been thrust into the spotlight for representing Mangione in the high-profile case. TMZ reports that the connection between these prominent legal players has fueled further public interest in what is already a sensational story.

50 Cent Appears To Make Light Of Andrew Schulz & Kendrick Lamar Situation & Fans Loathe It

50 Cent recently trolled comedian Andrew Schulz over his controversial rant on Kendrick Lamar, leaving die-hard fans of the West Coast rapper with a bad taste in their mouth.

The G-Unit Films mogul didn’t hold back during a lively interview on the FLAGRANT podcast, where he weighed in on Schulz’s recent rhetoric targeting Kendrick Lamar’s track “wacced out murals” from his GNX album.

50 Cent pressed the envelope over Schulz comments about having sex with Lamar against his own will in response to his bars from the song slamming white comedians for telling jokes about Black women. In his initial remarks, the G-Unit rapper called out Schulz for crossing the line, delivering both humor and sharp criticism in his signature style.

“I’m a fan of your work, but I don’t understand what got into you that made you say you was gonna f##k Kendrick,” 50 began, before being interrupted by Schulz attempting damage control, “Whoa, whoa, whoa, I said make sweet love.”

50 shot back, immediately clowning Schulz for his snarky retort while also seemingly trolling Lamar and his fans, who have routinely cited the “Heart Pt. 6” rapper’s upbringing in Compton and sensitive past with sexual assault.

“Oh, sweet love. I registered for it f##k,” he said. “This is from years and years of trauma. his comes from abuse from the neighborhood that I grew up in.”

Transitioning to the public’s reaction, 50 Cent commented on the uproar by downplaying the outrage the comedian’s comments generated as a byproduct of the art of comedy.

“For people to write petitions behind it, it’s crazy,” he said, referring to the backlash Schulz faced. “Look, I follow comedic culture. I watch the comedians. I enjoy them on another level. You are comedic.”

He continued, “When I watch them [comedians], I look and I go, there’s no point that you could do something that actually damages what they’ve developed.”

Backing up his point, 50 Cent fired off a stray shot after mentioned other performers like Kat Williams, pointing out their resilience despite missteps.

“Kat Williams can fight a 15-year-old kid that is his height and not do so well, right?” he said. “It does no damage to Kat Williams. He’s still that guy.”

Kendrick Lamar’s camp has yet to respond to the controversy, but fans have taken to social media to defend the rapper. Many weren’t nearly as amused by 50 Cent’s analysis of the situation and sounded off on his unpopular opinion in the comments section of a post AllHipHop shared covering the podcast clip.

“They’ll always find one of us who’s willing to Sellout,” one user wrote in the comments section of the post. Another user added, “@50cent a cornball , he just hating cuz when he cooled down @kendricklamar took the top spot at aftermath.”

SIGNS: Is World War III Here Now?

Yo, things are getting crazy out here and I think our “Signs the World is Coming to an End” may be manifesting.

Israel just dropped a bomb on Syria so powerful, it reportedly set off earthquake sensors, per a report from The Standard. Yep, you heard that right. It measured a 3.0 on the Richter scale. Video footage floating around shows the massive explosion near Tartus in northwestern Syria, and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights is calling it one of the heaviest strikes in the region since 2012.

Good Lord, y’all!

The word on the ground is that Israeli warplanes targeted air defense units and missile depots, unleashing a bombardment that shook up the whole area. Israel, as usual, is playing it cool and refusing to comment on the strikes.

The U.S. Embassy is warning Americans to bounce. Leave Syria ASAP! Armed conflict and terrorism is popping off across the country. Americans in Syria will be stuck if they get stuck, because there is no embassy there. Get out like a Jordan Peele movie!

Now let’s keep it a buck—this isn’t just about one big explosion. Israel’s been pounding Syria for a minute. And you know those conscious watchdog’s have something to say. They are accusing Israel of exploiting Syria’s collapse to grab land and violate the 1974 ceasefire agreement. I know y’all mostly want rumors and trash, but this is important too.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dropped a video statement claiming Israel isn’t looking for trouble, they are just finishing it. He said they are just “responding to threats” coming out of Syria.

Well, maybe I should go punch random white man. Netanyahu sent hundreds of airstrikes and even ground troops. There’s no clear end in sight. I hope I have this right but, it seems like Israel’s government is pushing population GROWTH. They are rolling into other places – straight up. Israel says it plans to double population in Golan Heights—period. This is why they are allegedly taking everybody’s land. JEEZ! I thought the grand plan was depopulation, but maybe that is just for Black folks.

Syria is looking like good right now. Israel is making some crazy chess moves in the ultimate war game. Keep your eyes open—this is far from over.

We may be past signs – the end is here!!!!!
