Sexyy Red also got a Nicki Minaj co-sign this year. The Hip-Hop veteran jumped on the official remix of the midwesterner’s “Pound Town” song. Plus, Red worked with NLE Choppa, Sukihana, Lil Durk, DaBaby, Yung Nudy, Latto, Drake and others over the last 12 months.

Grammys “Evaluating” Diddy’s Invitation To 2024 Show Following Sexual Assault Allegations

Diddy may not attend the 66th Annual Grammy Awards on February 4, 2024. Pressure to disinvite the performer/executive to the ceremony has mounted after multiple women accused him of rape, sex trafficking and other abusive behavior.

Previously, reports claimed the Recording Academy has considered removing Diddy from the guest list. An unnamed source suggested backlash directed at the 54-year-old New Yorker caused a “logistical nightmare” for the organization.

The Recording Academy has officially addressed Diddy’s possible involvement with the upcoming show. A statement from the Grammys reads, “We are taking this matter very seriously and we are in the process of evaluating it with the time and care that it deserves.”

Diddy made it into the Best Progressive R&B Album category for 2023’s The Love Album: Off the Grid. The Bad Boy Entertainment and Love Records founder already has three Grammy victories in his career.

No Way Out won Best Rap Album in 1998. “I’ll Be Missing You” took home the Best Rap Performance By A Duo Or Group trophy that same year. Diddy also won a Grammy for Best Rap Performance By A Duo Or Group as a feature on Nelly’s “Shake Ya Tailfeather.”

A floodgate of sexual misconduct allegations opened up against Diddy after his ex-girlfriend, R&B singer Cassie, filed an Adult Survivors Act lawsuit in the state of New York. They settled that case out of court.

Several other women also sued Diddy for sexual assault. One alleged victim accused him and two other men of raping her when she was 17 years old. Diddy has denied all allegations of sexual assault and abuse.

“For the last couple of weeks, I have sat silently and watched people try to assassinate my character, destroy my reputation and my legacy,” Diddy posted on social media

He continued, “Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday. Let me be absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family and for the truth.”

Ciara also reposted congratulatory messages from her famous friends on Instagram, with Janet Jackson writing, “Happy Birthday Amora Princess Wilson!

Hours before they welcomed Amora into the world, Ciara and the three kids supported Russell Wilson as his team, the Denver Broncos, played against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Joking about the arrival of Amora and his team’s victory, Russell joked on X/Twitter, “2 wins in less than 24 hours!” Ciara and Russell have been married since 2016.

Offset Explains Pulling Out Of Kai Cenat’s Jail Livestream

In October and November, Kai Cenat hosted a week-long livestream inside a jail. Several celebrities joined the popular internet personality for the staged “7 Days In” presentation, but Offset reportedly pulled out at the last minute.

Many of Kai Cenat’s fans assumed Offset decided to skip “7 Days In” because of Cenat’s review of his Set It Off album. The Georgia-raised rapper gave his side of the story during a recent interview.

When asked if he was offended by Kai Cenat not liking his project, Offset told The Morning Hustle, “Not really ’cause at the end of the day he’s giving his honest opinion. He liked the first eight songs. At the end of the day, that’s my homie.”

The conversation then turned to Offset not showing up for Kai Cenat’s livestream in the penitentiary. Set claimed he decided to not go back behind bars with the content creator because of his and others’ history of being incarcerated.

“I didn’t do the jail thing because I really had to think about it. I really come from that. It’s really bros and homies struggling with that,” Offset explained. He also added, “It’s not really a game. It’s a serious thing. I understand content. I salute it, but I just couldn’t be a part of that content because if ya’ll remember, I come from jail.”

The Migos member continued, “I know how it feels. It ain’t the right feeling. I got real homies that can’t get out ever. So I didn’t want to make a mockery of them. My world and [Cenat’s] world are different.”

Offset went on to say that he understands that Kai Cenat did not have bad intent with his “7 Days In” livestream. However, some other celebrities, like comedian Karlous Miller, did have a problem with the award-winning streamer’s fictionalized jailhouse.

Chrisean Rock Accuses Blueface Of Being Bisexual: “I Don’t Want No Fruity Loop Raising My Kid”

The ongoing saga involving Chrisean Rock and Blueface continues to play out in front of the world. The latest round in the former couple’s public feud included Chrisean accusing her ex-boyfriend of being part of the LGBTQ community.

After the reality show stars threw shots at each other online over the weekend, Chrisean Rock had more to say about the situation. The Baltimore native went on Instagram Live to blast the suspected father of her newborn child.

“Let’s talk about what I saw in his search history. I was going to keep it to myself,” Chrisean Rock said about Blueface. She added, “I don’t know if he’s taking d### in the butt. I don’t know why you’re watching gay p###.”

Chrisean Rock continued, “I’m glad you don’t want to be my baby daddy. I don’t want no fruity loop raising my kid, respectfully. I’m sorry. I apologize because I’m attached to a f###### weirdo that says weirdo s### online that doesn’t make sense.”

On Sunday (December 10), Blueface shared an X post claiming Chrisean Rock had sex with Offset, Cardi B’s currently estranged husband. Offset denied sleeping with Chrisean. Blueface later deleted those tweets. 

However, another Blueface post about Chrisean Rock is still on his X page. A December 9th tweet featured the Crazy In Love cast member denying Rock gave birth to his third child. 

“Tell me why I snook [a] swab, this [baby’]s DNA test results came in… I am not the father, smh. It’s a bitter [sweet] feeling [because] I was coming around to it but definitely in my best interest. Thank you, Jesus.”

Kodak Black Denies Cocaine Use Following Drug Bust: “I Ain’t No Junkie” 

Kodak Black is speaking out following his arrest for cocaine possession last week.  

Cops reportedly hauled the Florida native off to jail after discovering him asleep at the wheel in Broward County, Florida, on Wednesday (December 7). Police claimed to notice a strong smell of weed coming from Yak’s black Bentley SUV. Police claimed they found a white powder in the vehicle, which was later confirmed to be cocaine.  

Black also faces charges of tampering with or fabricating physical evidence and improper stop, stand or park. He appeared in court Thursday and was freed on a $75,000 bond, per CBS News.  

However, Kodak Black denied using cocaine, although he did admit to drinking lean, a concoction containing Codeine cough syrup and soda.  

“I was on the lean,’ Yak said during an Instagram Live chat Monday (December 10). I was asleep in front of my family house. That’s it.” 

Kodak Black said, “That ain’t illegal,” but said he has to go through the “process” following his arrest.  

While he failed to mention how he came to be in possession of cocaine, Kodak Black insisted he doesn’t use the drug.  

“To be talking about cocaine? Hell no. F### no,” he said branding the allegations “bogus as f###.” 

He also confessed to using Percocet but claimed, “That was my medicine prescribed to me.”  

Elsewhere during the Live, Kodak Black said while he began “damn near abusing” Percocet, he spent a small fortune on rehab.  

“I’m working on myself,’ he shared. “I paid $350,000 to get clean and get better.”    

Kanye West’s Daughter North Debuts Verse During “Vultures” Listening Event: Watch 

Kanye West have Ty Dolla $ign previewed their joint album Vultures, which includes a debut from Ye’s daughter, North West. 

After switching their venue at the eleventh hour, the duo finally unveiled their joint album at a “Vultures Rave” listening event at Wynwood Marketplace Miami. Ye and Ty Dolla were joined onstage by several of their fellow collaborators, including Chris Brown, Offset, Lil Durk, Kodak Black and Freddie Gibbs. 

However, one of the first songs unveiled featured a very special collaborator, Ye’s 10-year-old daughter with Kim Kardashian, North West.  

The little girl lip-synced along to the song while dancing alongside her father and the other artists. 

“I love it here, we gonna take over the year for another year,” North West raps on the unreleased track. ”It’s your bestie, Miss Miss Westie.” Watch a clip from the performance below and check out the livestream at the end of the page. 

Kanye West donned a black hood reminiscent of those worn in white by members of the Ku Klux Klan to perform his controversial track, “Vultures.” 

The song, which also features Bump J, was previewed last month and includes Ye rapping, “How I’m anti-semitic?/I just f#### a Jewish b####.”

The track sparked condemnation from Jewish organizations, specifically the Anti-Defamation League and the American Jewish Committee.   

Elsewhere during the livestream, Kanye West previewed a song about “Beautiful big t#### butt naked women” featuring Freddie Gibbs.  

While Playboi Carti was set to appear, Kanye West announced he was late flying in. However, the venue refused to allow them extra time. “Turn the speakers off, we got to go,” Kanye West announced to close the show.  

Kanye West & Ty Dolla $ign Livestream “Vultures” Listening Event 

It’s not a Kanye West album release without delays, multiple listening events and unexpected twists and turns, and his new project with Ty Dolla $ign, Vultures, is no different. 

The duo’s much-hyped collaborative album Vultures is due later this week and was initially set to be rolled out at a listening event in Florida on December 12.  However, a spokesperson for the mall denied the “Vultures Rave” listening event was going down after Ty Dolla $ign promoted it on social media.  

“Rumors have been circulating that a Kanye West listening party will take place at Sawgrass Mills tomorrow,” management said. “This is simply not true.” Nonetheless, Ye managed to secure another venue for his “Vultures Rave” at Wynwood Marketplace in Miami. 

https://www.instagram.com/reel/C0u-mQZtkRA/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

The event is being broadcast to fans via a YouTube livestream. Although scheduled to start at midnight, the duo kept everybody waiting. 

Shortly before 2 a.m. EST, Ye’s children appeared onstage with his new wife, Bianca Censori. Kanye West and Ty Dolla eventually popped out on stage around 30 minutes later alongside Lil Durk and Freddie Gibbs, kicking off the show with “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back).”

Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign streamed their “Vultures Rave” listening event ahead of the release of their joint album.  

Earlier this week, Kanye West announced a release date for his Vultures album with Ty Dolla $ign. The pair previewed some tracks at various locations during Art Basel, the Miami annual art fair. Although he teased a Friday (December 15) release, fans have become accustomed to multiple delays.  

Nicki Minaj & 50 Cent Team Up On First Ever Collab “Beep Beep”  

50 Cent and Nicki Minaj have joined forces, uniting on Pink Friday 2 cut “Beep Beep,” for the first time. 

The NYC icons previously teased the collab last week after the album arrived without the Fiddy feature. “Well wait til they hear Schfifty Schent verse on it next week. #GagCity we here,” Nicki said on the day Pink Friday 2 was released. In a follow-up post, Nicki Minaj asked 50 Cent to “Send that verse in sir.” 

The G-Unit honcho complied and dropped a snippet of his verse on social media Monday while warning his peers to hold off on any releases.  

“Todays not a good day to drop, put your b####### out tomorrow,” he penned on Instagram.

The track was released exclusively via Nicki Minaj’s website on Monday (December 11). She also announced a midnight drop on streaming platforms.  

According to a recent teaser, Nicki Minaj has several other upcoming unreleased Pink Friday 2 tracks in addition to her song with 50 Cent.  

“Next week #GagCity welcomes a new edition every day beginning Monday or Tuesday,” she wrote on X. “Every day until Friday, you’ll get an add’l song that completes my fave body of work to date. 4 more songs.” 

Continuing to vaguely mask her upcoming collaborations with the “Sch” prefix, Minaj dropped another hint.  

“Two of the names on a very important song rhyme with Schmechia Schmole & Schmonica,” she added, seemingly in reference to Keisha Cole and Monica.  

Meanwhile, Nicki Minaj took to Instagram to announce an upcoming interview with Joe Budden.  

“This man always deserves a good cussing out from me,” she stated during an Instagram Live Monday night. “He always, always gone get his lashes from me.”

Pardison Fontaine Addresses Megan Thee Stallion Infidelity Rumors: “What’s Cheating?” 

Pardison Fontaine is opening up about what really happened with Megan Thee Stallion after he was accused of cheating on the Grammy Award-winning rapper. 

The allegations arose when Meg shared “Cobra,” last month (November 3). 

“Pulled up, caught him cheatin’, gettin’ his dick sucked in the same spot I’m sleepin’,” Meg raps on the track. 

Listeners believed Megan Thee Stallion was talking about Pardi, and he fired back with a scathing diss track. On “THEE PERSON,” Pardi shares his perspective of the split and claims Megan had lipo but lies to her fans about it. He also addresses her former relationships while bringing up her dead mother.  

“I asked you to your face did you f### them n####s/And you swore on your mother/I knew from then, I couldn’t trust her/More lies from the lips of a lover,” Paridson Fontaine raps. 

However, in a new interview, Pardi admitted he wasn’t entirely honest with Megan Thee Stallion. During a recent appearance on Angela Yee’s Lip Service podcast, the hosts grilled him over the allegations she made in the track.  

“That’s not what happened at all,” he said, denying that Megan caught him in her bed with another woman.  

Nonetheless, Pardi was unsure of what constitutes infidelity, asking, “What’s cheating,” before confessing to keeping things from his ex-lover.  

Although he insisted he wasn’t intimate with anybody else during their relationship, Pardi asked, “Is hiding text messages cheating?” When the hosts told him that cheating is anything you have to hide from your partner, Pardi owned up.  

“In that regard, yeah. I’d say so,” he stated. Check out the clip below.

Embracing Mindful Sexuality: A Journey to Intimacy

The Power of Mindful Sexuality

In a world filled with distractions and fast-paced living, it’s easy to overlook the importance of mindfulness in our intimate lives. Mindful sexuality goes beyond the physical act; it’s about connecting our body and mind in the bedroom. This journey towards mindful sexuality can enhance not only our physical pleasure but also deepen the emotional and spiritual connection with our partners. In this exploration, we’ll delve into the transformative power of mindful sexuality and how it can elevate your intimate experiences.

Understanding Mindful Sexuality

At its core, mindful sexuality involves being fully present and engaged in the sexual experience. It’s about shedding preconceived notions, fears, and insecurities, and immersing ourselves in the sensations and emotions of the moment. This awareness opens the door to a deeper connection with our partners and a more profound understanding of our own desires and boundaries.

Mindful sexuality encourages open communication, creating an atmosphere of trust and vulnerability. As we embrace the present moment, we become attuned to the subtle cues and desires of our partners, fostering a deeper connection that transcends the physical realm.

Breaking Free from Taboos

Society often imposes taboos and stigmas around sexuality, inhibiting our ability to explore and express our desires fully. Mindful sexuality invites us to break free from these societal constraints, encouraging a non-judgmental and accepting approach to our sexual selves.

By acknowledging and embracing our desires without shame or guilt, we pave the way for a more authentic and fulfilling sexual experience. This newfound freedom allows us to explore our fantasies and preferences, fostering a deeper connection with our own desires and those of our partners.

The Role of Communication in Mindful Sexuality

Communication is the cornerstone of any healthy relationship, and it plays a pivotal role in mindful sexuality. Honest and open communication about desires, boundaries, and preferences creates a safe space for exploration and vulnerability. It’s the key to unlocking a deeper understanding of each other’s needs and fostering a connection that goes beyond the physical.

In the journey of mindful sexuality, partners can use verbal and non-verbal cues to express their desires and consent. This shared language enhances intimacy, creating an environment where both partners feel seen, heard, and respected. 

Sensate Focus: The Art of Presence

Mindful sexuality often involves practices such as Sensate Focus, a technique that directs attention to the sensory experience of touch. This exercise encourages partners to explore each other’s bodies without the goal of arousal, focusing instead on the pleasure of touch and connection.

Engaging in Sensate Focus exercises can deepen intimacy by fostering a heightened awareness of physical sensations. It encourages partners to be fully present in the moment, enhancing the connection between the body and mind. This practice can be a transformative step towards mindful sexuality, promoting a deeper understanding of one another’s bodies and desires.

Exploring Erotic Mindfulness

Erotic mindfulness involves being fully present during sexual activities, free from distractions or anxieties. It’s about savoring each moment, appreciating the unique sensations and emotions that arise. This practice encourages a slower, more deliberate approach to intimacy, allowing partners to connect on a profound level.

By incorporating erotic mindfulness into our sexual experiences, we can break free from routine and explore new avenues of pleasure. It opens the door to a more adventurous and fulfilling sex life, where partners are attuned to each other’s desires and navigate the journey together.

Mindful Sexuality and Emotional Connection

Beyond physical pleasure, mindful sexuality nurtures a deep emotional connection between partners. It’s about sharing vulnerabilities, expressing love, and creating a space where both partners feel emotionally fulfilled. This emotional intimacy enhances the overall satisfaction of the relationship, transcending the boundaries of the bedroom.

When we approach sex with mindfulness, we cultivate a deeper connection that extends into our daily lives. The emotional bond forged in the bedroom can positively impact the overall health of the relationship, creating a foundation of trust and understanding.

Mindful Sexuality and Self-Exploration

Understanding our own bodies and desires is a crucial aspect of mindful sexuality. It’s an opportunity for self-exploration, free from judgment or societal expectations. By becoming attuned to our own needs and preferences, we can communicate more effectively with our partners, creating a more harmonious and fulfilling sexual experience.

Engaging in self-exploration allows us to discover what brings us pleasure and satisfaction. It’s a journey of self-love and acceptance, laying the groundwork for a more confident and empowered approach to intimacy.

Introducing Mindful Elements: Restraints and Connection

In the realm of mindful sexuality, incorporating elements like restraints can add a layer of excitement and novelty to intimate experiences. While some may associate restraints with more adventurous pursuits, they can also be integrated into mindful practices, emphasizing the importance of trust, communication, and consent.

Exploring the curated collection of restraints at https://kinkstore.com/collections/restraints offers a range of options for couples looking to add a mindful twist to their intimate moments. From soft silk ties to more intricate bondage accessories, these tools can be used to enhance the connection between partners, fostering a deeper sense of trust and intimacy.

Nurturing Mindful Practices Beyond the Bedroom

Mindful sexuality isn’t confined to the bedroom; it’s a way of approaching life and relationships. Integrating mindfulness into daily practices, such as meditation, deep breathing, or even shared activities, can strengthen the bond between partners. By cultivating a mindful mindset, couples can navigate challenges together and celebrate the joys of life as a united force.

Embracing the Journey Towards Mindful Sexuality

In conclusion, mindful sexuality is a transformative journey that goes beyond the physical aspects of intimacy. It’s about being present, communicating openly, and fostering a connection that nourishes the body and soul. As you embark on this journey with your partner, remember that it’s a continuous process of exploration and growth. By embracing the principles of mindful sexuality, you can cultivate a more profound connection that enriches every aspect of your relationship.

Whether you’re new to the concept or have been on this path for a while, the key lies in openness, vulnerability, and a willingness to explore the depths of intimacy. So, take a step into the world of mindful sexuality, where connection, pleasure, and love intertwine in a dance that celebrates the beauty of the human experience.

Kanye West & Ty Dolla Sign’s “Vultures” Rave Plans Go Up In Flames

A Florida mall denied Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s arrangements for a “Vultures Rave,” which was supposedly scheduled for Tuesday (December 12). A spokesperson for Sawgrass Mills shut down talks of the event happening at the mall after Ty Dolla $ign promoted it on social media.

“No, there’s no event, no performance,” the spokesperson told the Miami New Times. “It’s false.”

Sawgrass Mills is located in Sunrise, which is near Miami. The mall’s management dismissed the alleged “Vultures Rave” booking as nothing more than a rumor.

“Rumors have been circulating that a Kanye West listening party will take place at Sawgrass Mills tomorrow,” management said. “This is simply not true.”

Talks of a rave emerged after Kanye popped up at local spots in the Miami area over the weekend. He previewed songs from Vultures, his joint album with Ty Dolla $ign, at Miami’s Dukunoo Jamaican Kitchen. Snippets of the tracks surfaced on social media.

Ty Dolla $ign announced the “Vultures Rave” in an Instagram post on Sunday (December 10). He said the event would be held at the Sawgrass Mills at midnight on December 12. Kanye invited Playboi Carti to the rave, according to Carti’s Instagram Stories.

Kanye’s upcoming collaboration with Ty Dolla $ign will be the controversial rapper/producer’s first release since his unfinished album Donda 2. Ye dropped a version of Donda 2 exclusively on the Stem Player but never released the completed project. The Stem Player’s parent company Kano Computing eventually cut ties with Kanye due to his antisemitism.

Ye claimed his Vultures album with Ty Dolla $ign will drop on Friday (December 15), but many of Ye’s release dates have come and gone with no music in the past. Ty Dolla $ign did share the tracklist for the project on Instagram.

Check out the Vultures tracklist below.

NLE Choppa Warns Blueface About Bullying Women Amid Baby Mama Drama

NLE Choppa clashed with his “Shotta Flow (Remix)” collaborator Blueface on Monday (December 11). The two exchanged social media jabs after Blueface allegedly tried to hit on NLE Choppa’s baby mama.

Marissa Da’Nae, the mother of NLE Choppa’s son Chozen, accused Blueface of trying to pick her up despite her loyalty to Chrisean Rock. Da’Nae described the alleged incident in an Instagram Live conversation with Chrisean. Blueface claimed NLE Choppa was worried about what happened.

“Nle been calling my fone all day about his baby momma but I’m tender,” Blueface wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter). “He hopped on that no rizz train till he seen I had that number now I’m his shotta flow remix friend don’t call me about no b#### boy.”

The comments provoked a response from NLE Choppa.

“Keep bullying women, that ain’t gone work here n stop snitching that ain’t very SY of you,” he wrote. “P.S.shotta flow 7 out now too.”

The public spat represented another wrinkle in the ongoing drama between Blueface and Chrisean. Blueface was put on blast by Chrisean and Da’Nae over the weekend.

“He pulled me to the side,” Da’Nae told Chrisean on Instagram Live. “He asked me what my name was. I just told him like, ‘I’m not interested, I know your baby mom,’ He was like, ‘How well do you know her? Can you call her?’ I was like, ‘Yeah.’ He’s like, ‘Call her’ … And I was like, ‘And you know my baby daddy.’ So, he was like, ‘Who yo baby daddy?’ And I told him.”

She added, “He was like, ‘So you gonna choose my baby mama over me?’ And I was like, ‘Yeah.’ And then I went to walk off and he pulled me. He was like, ‘Don’t walk away from me like that.’”

Young Thug Trial Delayed Over Jail Stabbing

A jailhouse stabbing forced a delay in the YSL RICO trial on Monday (December 11). Judge Ural Glanville sent jurors home for the day due to the stabbing of Young Thug’s co-defendant Shannon Stillwell in the Fulton County Jail.

“Don’t get too comfortable, all right,” Glanville told the jury. “Ladies and gentlemen, we’ve had a medical issue come up for one of our participants, so I’m going to have to recess for today. These things happen. So, we’ll come back tomorrow morning at 9 a.m.”

He added, “We’ll just see how things go at that point in time. And we’ll take the week as it comes.”

According to WSB-TV’s Michael Seiden, Stillwell was stabbed in the stomach overnight. The Fulton County Sheriff’s Office and Stillwell’s attorney Max Schardt confirmed the stabbing.

“Shannon was stabbed in jail,” Schardt told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “Other than he survived, I don’t know much else.”

Stillwell was also the victim of a jailhouse stabbing in July 2022. He is one of six defendants in the YSL RICO trial, which began in November.

Young Thug’s co-defendant faces eight criminal charges. Stillwell was charged with conspiracy to violate Georgia’s RICO Act, two counts of murder, two counts of participation in criminal street gang activity, two counts of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon previously convicted of felony involving the use or possession of a firearm and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. Stillwell pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Stillwell’s stabbing added a new complication to the YSL RICO trial, which went through a lengthy jury selection process starting in January 2023. The trial is expected to last at least six months.

Young Thug has remained in jail since his May 2022 arrest. He was denied bond several times ahead of the trial.

EXCLUSIVE: Donald Trump & Henry Kissinger Namechecked In Rolling Stone Lawsuit Against FBI

Rolling Stone is suing the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), a component of the Department of Justice. In court documents obtained by AllHipHop, the esteemed publication filed the suit on Sunday (December 10), alleging the FBI has failed to provide records on former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, who died in November, in a timely manner. According to the suit, Rolling Stone requested all files that mentioned “Kissinger” on November 29 and still hasn’t obtained the information.

As explained in the docs, “Rolling Stone explained the need for this additional search, stating, ‘Given Kissinger’s prominence and the fact that he continued to interact with the highest levels of the U.S. government until his death (see, e.g., the document bates-stamped ‘FBI (19cv1278)-6667’ which was an email chain between senior Trump campaign officials obtained during the Mueller Investigation), it is highly probable that records mentioning his name would be located in these systems yet not included in the CRS because they would be unlikely to be ‘of investigatory interest.’

Rolling Stone requested expedited processing of this request and a public interest fee waiver, citing, inter alia, “an urgent need to inform the public about actual or alleged federal government activity, namely, the activities of FBI and other agencies in which Kissinger, an extremely polarizing figure in man circles, played a direct or indirect role, or even those activities, like the Mueller Investigation, where FBI was looking into his activities.”

The docs added, “This is a matter of widespread and exceptional media interest in which there exist possible questions about the government’s integrity which affect public confidence […] As of this writing, FBI has not made a determination within ten days regarding Rolling Stone’s request for expedited processing.”

Consequently, Rolling Stone is asking the court to “order the Federal Bureau of Investigation to expeditiously process its request; order preliminary and permanent injunctive and/or declaratory relief as may be appropriate; award reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees as provided in 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(4)(E), 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d), or any other applicable law; expedite this action in every way pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1657(a); and grant such other relief as the Court may deem just and proper.”

The Mueller investigation was an investigation into Trump regarding Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections and was conducted by special prosecutor Robert Mueller from May 2017 to March 2019.

Kanye West Teases Music With Playboi Carti, Quavo, Future & More In Miami Takeover

As if the mysterious “Vultures” merch wasn’t enough of a sign, Kanye West has taken the hype of his new album a step further by previewing records from his LP in Miami.

Over the weekend, West was spotted at several local hot spots, including a trendy brunch spot in Wynnwood where he and his wife Bianca Censori entertained the entire restaurant with a live rendition of “Father Stretch My Hands” and Liv Lounge, where he and Ty Dolla $ign treated club-goers to a surprise concert.

However, one of Ye’s most potent pop-ups over the weekend appears to be the impromptu playback session he hosted at a bar. Several videos from the event appear to show Kanye spoon-feeding the DJ track after track of his new and unreleased records, such as the Backstreet Boys-sampling “Everybody” and “Paid” featuring Future. Rich The Kid has apparently heard the entire album because he commented on a viral Twitter (X) video featuring the “Everybody” snippet and praised the track—and the album.

“One of my favorites on the album,” Rich The Kid wrote on X in a tweet stamped with fireball and face-palm emojis.

And to top it all off, Carti and multiple other Kanye West insiders shared messages they’d received directly from Ye that appear to reveal his plans for the rollout of the album. According to one of the screenshots circulating, West planning to drop the album on December 15 and host a listening event days earlier at 12 a.m. ET on Tuesday (December 12).

Check out the post below for the full comprehensive guide of the Ye album leaks thus far below.

Rugireo Drops Video For Banging New Single “two step” featuring ZEEK

Rugireo is a multifaceted artist in Hip-Hop, seamlessly blending his talents as an actor, director, and producer. Born in New Jersey, Rugireo’s journey into music began at the tender age of thirteen, spurred by his early interests in creating video content and skits.

Facing challenges in his personal life, with his parents undergoing a tumultuous relationship, he sought solace in music and art. This refuge immersed him in activities like editing fan-made music videos, writing scripts, and illustrating.

The transformative period in Rugireo’s life came at 18, marked by his encounter with Yung Rocko at Blackcat Studios. This meeting was pivotal in guiding his musical direction, particularly in recording techniques and performance nuances. Now 25, Rugireo resides in New York City, having moved there from Delaware in October 2023.

His artistic influences are a testament to his diverse taste, drawing inspiration from Anderson Paak, Kendrick Lamar, Tyler, The Creator, J Cole, and Denzel Curry. Rugireo’s talents have seen him perform in various notable venues across the East Coast, including the Dover Music Festival, The Red Room in Philadelphia, and Washington Square Park in NYC.

His appearance at Washington Square Park with Hunna G Beats garnered over 200,000 views on Instagram alone. Additionally, his presence has been felt in the digital realm with multiple podcast appearances under his former name, Matt Vanzetti.

Rugireo’s work has garnered critical acclaim, with “Bottle Talk Podcast” praising his album “(Italian Made)” as “one of the best records of the year (2020).” Nakid Magazine and Medium Magazine have also highlighted his single “Ocean,” with Medium describing it as a blend of ’70s vibes with ’90s-esque lyrics.

His newest release, “two step” featuring Zeek, is a Dance/Pop-Rap track that reflects on a personal romantic experience during the pandemic. The track is noted for its upbeat, funk-pop sound, contrasting with the emotional depth of the lyrics.

Take a look at Rugireo’s video for “two step” below.

Rich The Kid Arrested During Miami Beach Hotel Bomb Threat Incident

Rich The Kid was arrested in Miami Beach on Sunday (December 10). According to Miami-Dade County inmate records, the rapper was taken into custody for defying law enforcement’s orders during a bomb threat at a South Beach hotel. TMZ reports local police officers had established a perimeter with police tape to prevent anyone from entering the SLS Hotel. But Rich The Kid insisted he needed to get into his hotel room and continued badgering the police.

Although Rich The Kid was warned he’d be arrested if he kept attempting to get inside, he persisted. He was heard saying, “I’ll bond out in 20 minutes.” He then walked to another corner of the property, where he was confronted by hotel security and told he couldn’t enter. He responded, “Stop me” and then proceeded to climb over the fence onto the property.

Once inside the hotel, he encountered a K-9 unit and the officer told him to leave, but Rich The Kid refused. He was then taken into custody and hauled off to jail. Rich The Kid now faces two misdemeanors: resisting an officer without violence and trespass. Each charged required. $1,000 bond and it looks like he already posted.

Rich The Kid has been arrested before. In March 2021, he was taken into custody at Los Angeles International Airport for carrying a loaded firearm in public. TSA agents discovered the weapon in his carry-on luggage as he attempted to board a flight. Footage of him being obtained by LAX authorities at LAX promptly made the rounds, although the ordeal didn’t last long. He was released less than six hours later.

The 31-year-old has also been entangled in multiple lawsuits. In December 2021, he was sued by the landlord of Manhattan’s East Village 14 Owner LLC for not paying his rent. The suit came less than a year after a Beverly Hills landlord sued Rich The Kid and won. A Los Angeles judge later ordered him to pay $323,214 in back rent.

Boosie Badazz Thanks Grammys For First Award Show Performance Since Prison Release

It has been nearly 10 years since Boosie Badazz officially became a free man again. The Baton Rouge-bred rapper left Louisiana State Penitentiary in Angola on March 5, 2014.

Boosie Badazz had yet to perform for a televised industry ceremony over the last decade. He finally returned to the small screen for “A GRAMMY Salute To 50 Years Of Hip-Hop” TV special.

CBS Television Network’s two-hour “A GRAMMY Salute To 50 Years Of Hip-Hop” aired on Sunday (December 10). Boosie was part of the celebratory show’s star-studded list of performers.

“THANKS TO THE GRAMMYS FOR FINALLY GIVING ME A CHANCE TO PERFORM AT AWARDS SHOW SINCE I BEEN HOME FROM PRISON!! #imgrateful,” Boosie Badazz tweeted in response to his performance.

“A GRAMMY Salute To 50 Years Of Hip-Hop” took place in Inglewood’s YouTube Theater on November 8. In addition to Boosie Badazz, the December 10th broadcast included appearances by representatives of several Hip-Hop generations.

The lineup featured Black Thought, Big Daddy Kane, Bun B, Chance The Rapper, Coi Leray, Common, De La Soul, GloRilla, Gunna, Latto, LL Cool J, MC Lyte, Nelly, Public Enemy, Queen Latifah, Rakim, Rick Ross, Roddy Ricch, T.I, and many more.

Boosie Badazz has yet to receive a golden gramophone trophy from the Recording Academy. However, the “Wipe Me Down” hitmaker still praised the organization for honoring Hip-Hop culture’s 50th anniversary.

“The Grammys gave me a chance that a lot of people don’t give me, so I’m thankful for the Grammys,” Boosie said in a video posted on the Recording Academy’s YouTube channel. “Mixing the Grammys with Hip-Hop, that’s like Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen.”
