What Is Delta 9 Gummies? Safety, THC Effects, Legality

In recent years, the world of cannabis products has undergone a significant transformation, with various edibles gaining popularity among users. Delta-9 gummies have emerged as a sought-after choice, offering a convenient and discreet way to experience the effects of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis. This article aims to delve into the intricacies of Delta 9 gummies, exploring their safety, THC effects, and legality.

Understanding Delta-9 Gummies

Delta-9 gummies are edible treats infused with Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, commonly known as THC. Unlike traditional methods of consuming cannabis, such as smoking or vaping, these gummies provide a more palatable and user-friendly option. The appeal of Delta-9 gummies lies in their ease of use, precise dosing, and the absence of the characteristic cannabis odor associated with smoking.

Safety Considerations

One of the primary concerns when it comes to cannabis products is safety. Delta-9 gummies, like any other THC-infused edibles, raise questions about potential adverse effects, especially in terms of dosage control and overall health impact.

Dosage Accuracy:

Delta-9 gummies are manufactured with precise THC concentrations, allowing users to have better control over their dosage. However, consumers must adhere to recommended serving sizes to avoid overconsumption, which could lead to unpleasant side effects.

Delayed Onset and Duration:

Unlike smoking, which produces rapid effects, the onset of Delta-9 gummies can be delayed. Users may not feel the full effects for up to two hours after consumption. This delay makes it imperative for users to be patient and refrain from consuming additional gummies hastily, thinking that the initial dose was ineffective.

Individual Variability:

The impact of Delta-9 gummies can vary significantly from person to person. Factors such as metabolism, weight, and individual tolerance levels play a crucial role in determining how an individual responds to THC. Users should be aware of their sensitivity and start with a low dose, gradually increasing if necessary.

Potential Side Effects:

While Delta-9 gummies are generally well-tolerated, some users may experience side effects such as dry mouth, increased heart rate, or anxiety. These effects are typically mild and transient, but individuals with pre-existing health conditions should exercise caution and consult a healthcare professional before consuming THC-infused products.

THC Effects and Therapeutic Potential

Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol is renowned for its psychoactive effects, which contribute to the euphoria or “high” associated with cannabis use. However, beyond recreational use, THC has demonstrated therapeutic potential for various medical conditions.

Pain Management:

THC has analgesic properties that may be beneficial for individuals dealing with chronic pain conditions. Some users find relief from conditions such as arthritis, neuropathic pain, and migraines through the use of Delta-9 gummies.

Appetite Stimulation:

Delta-9 THC is known for its ability to stimulate appetite, commonly referred to as the “munchies.” This effect can be particularly beneficial for individuals undergoing medical treatments that suppress appetite, such as chemotherapy.

Anti-Nausea Properties:

THC has antiemetic properties, making Delta-9 gummies a potential option for individuals experiencing nausea and vomiting, especially those undergoing cancer treatments.

Mood Enhancement:

The euphoric effects of THC can contribute to mood enhancement and stress reduction in some users. However, it’s essential to note that individual responses to THC can vary, and excessive consumption may lead to heightened anxiety or paranoia in susceptible individuals.

Sleep Aid:

Delta-9 THC’s relaxing effects may aid individuals struggling with insomnia or sleep disorders. Controlled and moderate use of Delta-9 gummies could contribute to improved sleep quality for some users.

Legality of Delta-9 Gummies

The legality of Delta-9 gummies is a complex and evolving issue, as cannabis laws vary widely across different regions and countries. In some places, cannabis consumption, including the use of THC-infused products, is fully legal, while in others, it remains strictly prohibited.

United States:

Cannabis laws in the United States are evolving rapidly. As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, several states have legalized the recreational use of cannabis for adults. However, it’s crucial to check and stay updated on state-specific regulations, as they can change.

Canada:

Canada legalized recreational cannabis in 2018, making Delta-9 gummies and other THC-infused edibles legally accessible to consumers. However, regulations regarding THC concentration, packaging, and labeling must be adhered to by manufacturers.

European Union:

The legality of Delta-9 gummies in the European Union varies from country to country. While some member states have legalized cannabis for recreational or medicinal use, others maintain strict prohibitions.

Asia and the Middle East:

Many countries in Asia and the Middle East have stringent anti-cannabis laws. The use of Delta-9 gummies and other THC-infused products is often strictly prohibited, with severe legal consequences for offenders.

Oceania:

Australia and New Zealand have made strides in cannabis legalization, but the specific regulations regarding Delta-9 gummies can vary. Consumers need to be aware of and comply with local laws.

Conclusion

Delta-9 gummies offer a convenient and enjoyable way for users to experience the effects of THC without the need for smoking or vaping. While these edibles present a promising option for both recreational and potential therapeutic use, consumers must prioritize safety, starting with accurate dosing and understanding individual tolerance levels.

The legality of Delta-9 gummies remains a dynamic landscape, with changes occurring at both the national and regional levels. Users must stay informed about the legal status of cannabis and THC-infused products in their respective locations to ensure compliance with the law.

As the world continues to navigate the complexities of cannabis legislation and public perception, Delta-9 gummies stand as a testament to the evolving landscape of cannabis consumption, providing a flavorful and accessible avenue for those seeking the benefits of THC in a more discreet and socially acceptable form.

Plies Calls Out Joe Biden & Kamala Harris For Not Bragging Like Rappers

Plies wants the President of the United States and the Vice President of the United States to be more braggadocious. The Florida-bred rapper/internet personality delivered a PSA to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

“Dear @JoeBiden & @kamalaharris (Cause I’m MTFing Sick Of It) [three faces with steam from nose emojis] Can Somebody Teach Y’all How To MTFing ‘BRAG’??” the former University of Central Florida student tweeted on Tuesday (January 30).

That X post included a video where Plies talked about how stock market numbers, job creation, gas prices and other economic factors have been better under the Biden-Harris Administration than the Donald Trump presidency.

“It ain’t your m############ fault America loves bragging, but g######## brag!” Plies stated. He also said, “Y’all need to hang around some m############ rappers or something. Somebody needs to teach y’all how to brag ’cause y’all g###### sure don’t know how to do it!”

At the moment, Joe Biden’s reelection campaign for the White House appears to be headed towards another faceoff with former President Donald Trump. The current RealClearPolitics average of polls has Trump leading Biden in the general election race by four points.

Plies has made it clear he is not a supporter of Donald Trump. Last August, The Real Testament album creator clowned Trump after the Republican politician’s mugshot for a racketeering criminal case in Georgia became public.

CBD Gummies For Sleep: How It Works, Benefits And Risks

Billions of adults are desperate for a restful sleep. You are not alone in this case; having a peaceful sleep is a bliss that maintains your physical and mental health. A lot of sedatives and sleeping pills are available on the market. But are they all helpful in calming the nerves without worsening effects? The most renowned medication you are going to incorporate into your usual routine might not work as the actual one does. So, here, the Cannabidiol (CBD) changes the game. This is a chemical that a hemp or Cannabis plant has. CBD is also a sleep inducer without any toxic effects that can harm your internal system. Let’s see what CBD science wants to say and how it may bring a peaceful night to your door.

How A Sleep Inducer (CBD) Works

Do you wake from a sleep in different time intervals? Or do you find it challenging to get a relaxing sleep? This medical condition is called Insomnia. That disturbs your circadian rhythm, sleep schedules, irregular neurotransmitter secretion & so on. For some individuals, CBD is a mystery itself, but in actuality, it is not. Everything depends on Cannabinoid; your internal structure also has an Endocannabinoid System (a complicated neurochemicals group). Cannabis chemicals directly hit the system and perform their actions.

The brain has a pea-sized structure known as the Hypothalamus. That plays a vital role in the transmission and regulation of numerous neurochemicals. It secretes neurotransmitters that help to regulate your sleep-wake cycles, such as Hypocretin, Adenosine, and Melatonin. CBD is a significant thing that enhances the hypothalamus efficiency and ECS. Usual harsh incidence, disturbed life, and mood swings can change the level of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, epinephrine, and dopamine, which play a huge part in providing a calming sleep. Thanks to the CBD gummies that regulate these chemicals and give you the desired sleep.

Benefits Of CBD In Improving Sleep and Overall Well-Being

As CBD lovers know, it binds with the brain’s sleep-improving receptors to enhance the neurochemical’s overall circulation; CBD also regulates overall well-being. Diving into the enormous CBD benefits needs authentic research, and this masterpiece is full of everything you aspire to know about the CBD gummy’s benefits, risk factors, dosage, and ideal timing of the drug.

Anxiety

Do you know what mainly disturbs your brain health? Anxiety significantly changes mood, enhances stress, reduces the social circle, increases the fear of stage performance or presentation, and eventually transforms into the last severe stage. There are different kinds of Anxiety, such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). CBD was found helpful in reducing the symptoms and chances of Anxiety. It is one of the best things you can incorporate into a usual routine with such fascinating effects.

Circadian Rhythm Disorder

The circadian rhythm regulates the sleep-wake cycle; its misalignment may disturb your life due to disturbed sleep patterns. The majority of night shift workers suffer from this disorder. Although it’s not severe, it may negatively affect everyday life. The internal 24-hour clock (Circadian Rhythm) may facilitate you with a peaceful sleep if everything is going appropriately in your usual life. CBD gummies help to treat CRD admirably. CBD synthesizes the hormones regulated with CRD treatment and improves good sleep.

Insomnia

Are you fed up with sleepless nights? CBD may equalize the sleep-wake circadian rhythm by activating the sleep hormones. CBD may fall asleep faster if you go with higher doses, but a regular dose is a wiser choice. Inadequate sleep doesn’t only disturb mental health but affects physical health as well. Nausea, loss of appetite, loss of interest, and sleep attacks in the daytime are the common symptoms of Insomnia, which express inappropriate sleep timings. A more comprehensive research found CBD gummies helpful in the treatment of Insomnia.

Narcolepsy

Narcolepsy is a sleep disorder; in that condition, abruptive sleep attacks in the daytime may disturb the patient. Although these attacks are seconds to minutes, frequency may change the situation. Hypocretin or orexin levels, which generally relate to a sleep cycle, decrease in this disorder. CBD not only helps to treat narcolepsy but also reduces the risks and chances of narcolepsy in the future. Furthermore, Cannabis helps to treat a variety of sleep issues and genuinely maintain your health.

Memory and Concentration Booster

It wouldn’t be wrong to say that CBD is a booster of memory and concentration. The majority of adults are benefiting from CBD blessings as they enhance focus and concentration; daily workers need this. Although common myths and misconceptions about CBD exist, they are just assertions. CBD has specific controversial issues, but the rumors people hear are probably based on the individual’s irregular, excessive, or inappropriate usage. Give CBD gummies a try, and you may see the psychoactive effects yourself. Whenever you feel dizzy, less focused, and sleepy, just consume a gummy and be ready to see the magical effects you want. Furthermore, CBD helps to treat numerous disorders, such as:

  • Migraine
  • Long term pain
  • Long term insomnia
  • Nausea
  • Indigestion
  • Neuroprotective
  • Cancer
  • Epilepsy
  • Lung cancer
  • Liver problems
  • Narcolepsy
  • Cataplexy
  • PTSD
  • Depression
  • Anxiety

Are There Any Risks Of CBD Gummies?

Generally, there are no severe or worse effects of CBD, but it may induce some issues in your body if you are not right with its timing and dosage. First of all, if you are taking other medications for any purpose, it is advisable not to combine them with CBD; it would lose its stimulatory effects, and you wouldn’t get a fresh boost. Some CBD medications contain THC, which upset the sleep routine. It is helpful to go with just CBD chemicals; otherwise, you may suffer from medical conditions. Although there is no list of CBD’s worst effects, ongoing research tells about the specific medical conditions that CBD can induce.

  • Diarrhea
  • Fatigue
  • Headache
  • Dizziness
  • Dehydration
  • Inhibition of drug metabolism
  • Longer time to fall asleep

These are temporary medical issues that go as time passes or go through a short day’s cure. However, these symptoms will only occur if an individual is not going with enough doses. Inadequacies of a sufficient dose cause several issues that trigger your usual routine, so it is critical to meet the criteria for sudden and sharpening effects.

What Is Required To Get Maximum Effects?

Dose and its timing are significant parts of every medication. A drug at the right time induces the effects that a person wants. Therefore, there is no ideal time for drugs, but you may set a specific time when you aspire to give total concentration and attention to the task. When it comes to dose, ensure you are not exceeding the ratio that a healthcare provider told you. CBD is not a prescribed drug; you may buy it from any trusted pharmaceutical lab or company, but it is helpful to read the chemical composition to be safe from overdose or high concentration of THC (a friend of CBD with intoxicating effects). If you are a newbie, you should not use THC in higher concentrations as it may produce intense psychoactive effects.

Conclusion

CBD is found helpful in the treatment of sleep issues and improves sleep with overall well-being. If you are looking for a trustworthy travel friend who can activate the neurons, what would be more genuine than CBD? If you are desperate for a peaceful sleep, CBD may help you in this case. What are you waiting for? Go to the nearby medical store; half a gummy is more than enough!

Latto Slams Critic Complaining About Her Jennifer Lopez Collaboration

Latto had the chance to work with an entertainment industry legend. Jennifer Lopez recruited the Atlanta-bred rapper for her “Can’t Get Enough” remix.

The original “Can’t Get Enough” dropped on January 10. Latto hopped on a new version that came out on January 26. She promoted the collaboration with a January 29 tweet.

“Love Latto to death but who is making these decisions [face with diagonal mouth emoji],” an X user declared in response to the performer’s promotional post.

Latto fired back, “Girl, I gotta call that THEE Jennifer Lopez wanted to do a song [with] me? I made the decision just like [you] would too [the f###] is [you] talm bout.”

An official music video for Jennifer Lopez’s “Can’t Get Enough” featuring Latto also arrived on January 29. The visuals have amassed over 780,000 views since its premiere.

Previously, Latto worked with artists such as Mariah Carey, Lil Wayne, Childish Gambino, 21 Savage, Chris Brown and Cardi B. The Rap Game reality show winner scored a Hot 100 No. 1 record as a guest on “Seven” by Jungkook.

Jennifer Lopez has been collaborating with other music stars for over two decades. Her catalog includes tracks alongside rappers like Big Pun, Fat Joe, Ja Rule, Jadakiss, Styles P, LL Cool J, Lil Wayne, Cardi B and more.

Quavo Responds To Debate Over Chris Brown Being Bigger Star

Quavo and Chris Brown’s longstanding animosity apparently has not died down. Internet users have not let the comparisons end either.

A clip from the New Rory & Mal podcast began circulating on social media. In the video, the hosts of the show debate who is more relevant at the moment, the Migos rapper or the R&B singer.

“In any room, Chris Brown is the bigger star than Quavo,” Mal argued on the program. Images of the two music stars sitting next to each other at a recent fashion event sparked the discussion.

Quavo seemingly responded to the “bigger star” conversation that took place on New Rory & Mal and the X platform. The “Straightenin” rhymer tweeted, “The biggest QUAVO HUNCHO!! Aint goin back and forth.”

On Monday (January 22), Chris Brown reacted to the footage of him and Quavo at the Rhude show. Brown stated, “Can’t pick who u sit by. F### all that growth s###. N#### not finna fumble my bag for little n#####.”

The apparent issues between Chris Brown and Quavo go back years. Supposedly, the bad blood stems from both entertainers having a romantic history with actress/model Karrueche Tran. 

In 2017, Brown’s crew and the Migos entourage reportedly had a heated confrontation following that year’s BET Awards. There were reports that some violence broke out before both sides separated.

As far as commercial success, Chris Brown has charted 117 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 chart throughout his career, including two No. 1 hits. Migos have 43 entries and one chart-topper. Quavo’s solo catalog contains 33 Hot 100 entries and one No. 1 single.

GloRilla Announces 30 Days Of Celibacy

GloRilla wants the world to know she has abstained from having sex for the last month. She shared that information with her 1.6 million X followers.

“Listen, I reached day 30 of my celibacy & y’all on here posting all dese positions is nun but da devil [face with steam from nose emoji]. Get Dee behind me satan!!!” GloRilla wrote.

The 24-year-old, Memphis-raised rapper’s social media post from Tuesday (January 30) generated online discussions. More than 4000 accounts interacted with Glo’s tweet, as of press time.

Earlier this month, GloRilla made headlines when she claimed that every man on the planet cheats. The Anyways, Life’s Great EP creator received pushback from Adrien Broner which led to Glo blasting the professional boxer for allegedly being unfaithful.

GloRilla broke out as a rising Hip-Hop recording artist thanks to 2022’s “F.N.F. (Let’s Go)” with Hitkidd. “F.N.F.” earned Glo a Best Rap Performance Grammy Award nomination. She later released a remix to that platinum-certified single featuring Latto and JT of the City Girls.

In addition, GloRilla returned the favor for Latto by appearing on “FTCU” in 2022. Glo also teamed up with Cardi B for “Tomorrow 2” that same year. The collaboration earned a 2x-platinum plaque from the Recording Industry Association of America.

UMG Threatens To Pull Entire Catalog From TikTok

Universal Music Group says their artists’ music will no longer be available on TikTok after failing to renegotiate their contract with the social media platform. The deal is set to expire within hours, with UMG revealing the contract ends Wednesday (January 31).

A UMG spokesman told Reuters all of its music will be pulled from TikTok if they fail to reach an agreement. 

This would include songs from some of the world’s biggest artists, including Drake, Taylor Swift, The Weeknd, Eminem, The Beatles, Ariana Grande, Kendrick Lamar, Nicki Minaj, SZA and many more.  

UMG published a scathing open letter titled “Why we must call Time Out on TikTok” on Tuesday, accusing TikTok of attempting to “bully us into accepting a deal worth less than the previous deal.”  

In addition, UMG says TikTok employs “obvious” tactics to “hurt vulnerable artists and try to intimidate us into conceding to a bad deal.”  

UMG cites several reasons for the breakdown in negotiations. According to UMG, TikTok failed to adequately address concerns “on three critical issues—appropriate compensation for our artists and songwriters, protecting human artists from the harmful effects of AI, and online safety for TikTok’s users.” 

They claim TikTok “proposed paying our artists and songwriters” a “fraction” of what other major platforms pay.  

UMG also claimed TikTok attempted to “intimidate” them during contract negotiations “by selectively removing the music of certain of our developing artists, while keeping on the platform our audience-driving global stars.” 

In their response to UMG, TikTok claims UMG “has put their own greed above the interests of their artists and songwriters.”  

TikTok says they reached “’artist-first’ agreements with every other label and publisher,” and accused UMG of acting outside “the best interests of artists, songwriters and fans.” 

Rick Ross Rebuilding $35M Mansion: “This Is What A $50M Home On Star Island Looks Like” 

Rick Ross is living on a building site after rebuilding the $35 million Miami mega-mansion he purchased last year on the Exclusive Star Island from the ground up. 

In August, the MMG founder took ownership of the 9,700 square feet property at 37 Star Island Drive. The luxury property sits on a 40,000-square-foot plot, featuring a 40-foot boat dock with direct access to the waterfront. 

However, a new video shows Rick Ross is completely renovating the six-bedroom/eight-bathroom home. On Tuesday (January 30) Rozay took fans on a tour of the construction site via his Instagram Story. 

He isn’t scrimping on the renovations, either. According to Rick Ross, he’s splashed out an additional $15M to turn the mansion into his dream home.  

“This is what a $50 million home on Star Island looks like,” he said while showing off the renovations. “Talk is cheap. We finna to do something great.” 

He revealed he plans to “go bigger,” stating that he wants to extend the sprawling mansion. Bulldozers and excavators sat on the property, which was littered with rubble and debris.  

“How Khaled said? ‘Let’s go bigger!’” he added. “The heard work has begun. It’s gon’ be a one of one. Spent $35 tickets on the crib you see what I’m doing.” 

Shortly after purchasing the mansion, Rick Ross discussed his construction plans with DJ Khaled, revealing he hired architect Kobi Karp for the job.  

“They create huge high rises, but guess what?” Rick Ross later said in a video with Karp. “37 Star Island, get ready.”

Joe Budden Calls Draya Michele “A Predator” Over Rumored Jalen Green Pregnancy  

Joe Budden called out Draya Michele, branding her a “predator” over the rumor she is expecting a baby with 21-year-old NBA star Jalen Green

Gossip has swirled for some time that the 39-year-old mother of two is dating the Houston Rockets player. Many have criticized Michele over the age-gap relationship, including the rapper-turned-podcaster who discussed the pregnancy rumor on the latest episode of the Joe Budden Podcast.  

“If you want to f### a 21-year-old, cool, but now you got a baby by a 21-year-old? You are a predator,” he said. “It’s too many horror stories of athletes losing everything that they ever had because they are not insulated. Because they are no barriers. Because there is nobody instructing them.” 

Joe Budden went on to say that although he loves Draya Michele, he’s appalled by the rumor she’s having a baby with Jalen Green. 

“This is my homegirl, but enough. You b###### is predators. That’s it,” he added. “It looks especially nasty because Draya has been around the block. She done dated all the rich n#####. You had your pick of rich n##### and you chose the kid? Get Draya the f### out of there man. And I love you Draya but bozo s### if this is true.” 

Clips of the podcast circulated online, and Budden received a mixed response for his take, with some calling him a hypocrite. 

“Joe Budden got some nerve coming at Draya for allegedly being pregnant when he got a young ass Cyn Santana pregnant,” one user wrote. 

Others agreed with Joe Budden, accusing Draya Michele of predatory behavior. Check out some of the responses below. 

Ice Spice Confirms “Y2K” Album With “Crazy” Feature Set To Arrive In 2024 

Ice Spice has revealed plans to drop her debut album titled Y2K later this year and teased a “crazy” feature on the project. 

Fresh off the release of her new single, “Think U The S### (Fart),” the Bronx-bred artist is giving her fans something to look forward to. On Tuesday (January 30), Ice Spice announced her first full-length offering during an appearance on NBC’s morning news show Today.  

“Yes, there’s going to be an album,” she told hosts Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager. ”This year. I’m so excited,” she told hosts Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager. “It’s called ‘Y2K’, it’s almost finished, so I’m really excited.” 

Ice Spice confirmed the Y2K title is a reference to her birthday (January 1, 2000), and teased a feature although she gave little else away.  

“I have a crazy collaboration that just got locked in, like two days ago,” Ice Spice confirmed. 

The flame-haired singer has already worked with some heavyweight artists, teaming up with Taylor Swift and scoring a No. 2 on the Billboard 100 chart with “Karma.” Ice also teamed up with fellow NYC rapper Nicki Minaj. The pair partnered on two tracks, “Princess Diana” and “Barbie World,” earning Ice Spice another pair of Top. 10 hits.  

Ice Spice could snag the coveted Best New Artist award at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards this weekend (February 4). She also has the chance to win another three awards at this year’s ceremony. She is nominated for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance alongside Taylor Swift for the “Karma” collab. 

Ice Spice and Nicki Minaj’s “Barbie World” made it into the Best Rap Song and Best Song Written for Visual Media categories. 

Soulja Boy Mercilessly Insults Blueface, Chrisean Rock & Their Baby In Wild Rant

Soulja Boy escalated his beef with Blueface in a vicious diatribe on Instagram Live. Soulja Boy threatened to fight Blueface and ridiculed multiple people connected to the West Coast rapper.

“Blueface, you p#### n####,” Soulja Boy said. “Get out of jail, we’re gonna beat yo m############ ass … F### you, f### your whole family, f### everything you stand for, n#### … Chrisean, f### you too, you ugly b####. And Jaidyn [Alexis], f### you too you fat, skinny-leg, Shrek-looking b#### … Hope that n#### get raped every day he in that b####.”

Soulja Boy repeatedly took shots at Chrisean Rock in the social media rant. The verbal tirade also targeted Blueface and Chrisean’s baby.

“Chrisean, I’ma nut on your face, b####,” Soulja Boy said. “Snaggle-tooth hoe. I’m a nut right on that tattoo, you ugly b####. Look like your p#### stank, hoe … You little ugly snaggle-tooth autistic b####. Let me nut on your face, b####. You little remedial hoe … Somebody tag Chrisean tell her let me nut on that tattoo of her ugly ass. Little stinky booty b####.”

He continued, “Your son look retarded. I ain’t gonna lie, that n***a look like he got Down syndrome. That n#### Blueface must be retarded. That n#### put some retarded dick in you, ain’t it. Let me nut on your face you little ugly b#### … Stanky b####. You look like you smell like boo boo, b####. You look like you s###### on yourself in the third grade, b####.”

Instagram Live viewers pushed back against Soulja Boy’s comments, telling him he went too far by attacking the baby. But Soulja Boy showed no remorse.

“I don’t give a f###!” he said. “F### that little baby. On my mama, that baby looks stupid as f###.”

Soulja Boy and Blueface began feuding before the latter went to jail. Earlier this month, Blueface landed behind bars for a probation violation. He’s expected to remain in custody for months.

Travis Scott Gifts Venue Janitor $5K During Miami Concert

Travis Scott handed out a hefty bonus to a diligent event staff member after he took notice of his resolve amid the live show madness.

On Monday (January 29), Scott’s Circus Maximus Tour descended on Miami, offering fans a night of sweat-soaked mosh pits accompanied by sounds from his chart-topping UTOPIA album. In the midst of all of the moshing, La Flame saw a hardworking janitor mopping up the fans’ sweat and stopped the show.

“Today, you’re gonna be off,” Scott said. “Somebody get my guy $5,000. I want you to just take off the day.” Utilizing his battle-tested banger “FEIN” as the glue to bring the moment together, he formally extended an invite to the fan to rage with him and his fans.

“I just seen you come out the back, I don’t know who the f### told you to go get a mop,” he continued. “Only way he clocking in is only if he can rage.”

Scott has seemingly been in the giving spirit when he touches the stage for performances throughout the tour, thus far.

Earlier this month, La Flame and a lucky fan locked in as the Cactus Jack rapper shared the microphone with him to perform “Lost Forever” at his rescheduled Chicago concert date. At the end of the verse, which the fan rapped word-for-word, La Flame gave him the shoes off his feet. The shoes in question, dubbed the “Shark-A-Don,” are reportedly an unreleased Nike silhouette that are part of Scott’s Cactus Jack line.

EXCLUSIVE: Jam Master Jay Trial Judge Denies Bid To Use Lyrics As Evidence

Prosecutors failed to convince a New York judge to admit Karl Jordan Jr.’s rap lyrics and videos as evidence in the Jam Master Jay murder trial. According to court documents obtained by AllHipHop, Judge LaShann DeArcy Hall denied the prosecution’s motion seeking approval of the evidence on Tuesday (January 30).

“Here, as evidence of his guilt, the Government seeks to admit Jordan’s lyrics: ‘I aim for the head, I ain’t a body shooter’ and ‘we aim for the head, no body shots, and we stick around just to see the body drop,’” Hall wrote. “Ultimately, Jordan’s lyrics do not include any specific facts that might relate to his participation in the murder alleged in this case. Jordan’s lyrics do not mention [Jam Master Jay], the recording studio in which [he] was killed, the other shooting victim, or any alleged accomplices. Nor does the Government claim that Jordan wrote or performed these lyrics around the time of the alleged murder … These lyrics merely contain generic references to violence that can be found in many rap songs.”

Judge Hall also dismissed the merit of lyrics regarding Jordan’s alleged admissions of drug dealing. The judge cited Migos as one example of how lyrics did not provide proof of drug trafficking.

“The Government’s request to admit lyrics discussing ‘breaking down bricks’ fares no better,” Judge Hall explained. “That is, ‘breaking down bricks’ does not bear a specific nexus to the underlying offense conduct alleged in this case. Nevertheless, the Government argues that these lyrics describe Jordan’s role in the drug distribution conspiracy that, as the Government alleges, precipitated the alleged murder.”

She continued, “However, rap songs frequently reference the concept of ‘breaking down bricks,’ that is, repackaging kilograms of drugs to distribute in smaller quantities … Jordan’s lyrics are simply too imprecise, unlike lyrics that have been found to explain a defendant’s ‘preferred process for preparing and delivering drugs’ or ‘refer[ed] to the minimum quantity of illegal drugs’ that the government alleged a defendant sold.”

Judge Hall said courts should be “wary” of rules allowing the use of rap lyrics and videos in criminal trials. She agreed individuals should face consequences for confessing to “unmistakable details of their crimes,” but evidence cannot be based on “perceptions” of artistic references.

“None of the lyrics the Government seeks to admit as evidence of Jordan’s guilt bear any nexus to the criminal conduct alleged in this case,” the judge ruled. “And, Jordan’s statement that he raps about his lived experience cannot alone serve as a substitute for the requisite nexus. Because the proffered lyrics do not have a sufficient nexus to the charged drug conspiracy, they are inadmissible.”

Jordan and his co-defendant Ronald Washington are on trial for the 2002 murder of Jam Master Jay. A third defendant, Jay Bryant, will be tried separately.

Opening statements began on Monday (January 29). Prosecutors said Jam Master Jay’s killers were motivated by greed after getting cut out of a drug deal.

Prosecutors informed Judge Hall they may need to treat some of their witnesses as hostile in the trial. Names of the potentially hostile witnesses were redacted in public court records.

Nicki Minaj’s Barbz Plotting To Desecrate Megan Thee Stallion’s Mother’s Grave

Nicki Minaj‘s overzealous fanbase, the Barbz, are catching heat for encouraging each other to desecrate the gravesite of Megan Thee Stallion‘s mother. After the beef between the two rappers exploded, someone discovered where Megan’s mother is buried and doxxed the location with the caption, “You know what to do.”

Many people, of course, were sickened by the proposition. As one person wrote, “I read on Reddit this morning that apparently some Nicki Minaj fans want to go desecrate Megan Thee Stallions mothers grave. Like wtf is wrong with you crazies? Just take the L and go home.” Another said, “Yo if the #barbz are really sitting here, going to Megan’s mom’s grave to destroy it. I hope Megan sue #NickiMinaj for EVERY F###ING PENNY SHE GOT!!!”

Someone else added, “So I just heard the Barbs have found where Meg mom’s grave is and told others to go desecrate her grave. This is beyond disgusting and now Megan it’s time to get the police involved at the cementary. ARREST ON SIGHT.”

Others believe Minaj herself gave her fans permission with an audio clip in which she says, “And if I give the muthaf###in word…don’t let me give the word and get the receipts. I’ll be on your a## forever.”

Nicki Minaj released a diss track aimed at Megan Thee Stallion on Sunday night (January 28). Titled “Big Foot,” the song was a direct response to Megan’s “Hiss” single that appeared to take a shot at Minaj’s husband, Kenneth Petty. The beef between the two erupted shortly after the release of “Hiss,” which reference “Megan’s Law,” a law related to publicizing information about registered sex offenders. Many interpreted the line as a direct strike at Petty due to his criminal history.

Minaj retaliated with a series of Instagram Lives and social media rants, hurling numerous insults at Megan Thee Stallion, including jabs at her deceased mother. She also ended “Big Foot” by talking about Megan’s late mother.

Chris Brown Causes Overzealous Fan To Nearly Faint On Livestream Amid X-Rated Proposal

Chris Brown still has a major chokehold on his female fans—and his recent interaction on a livestream proves it.

Breezy just participated in a Kick stream with Adin Ross and chopped it up with a bunch of random users on some real vintage Omegle vibes. The theme of the chat very quickly turned into somewhat of a “rizz” competition as both Brown and Ross appeared to engage in playfully flirty banter with their guests. 

“Wait, this isn’t a pre-recording oh my f###ing God are you kidding me?” the girl shouted in disbelief, to the dismay of her friend and ears. At this point, the tone starkly shifted when one fan literally risked it all for a chance to hook up with Breezy.

“Hey, hey, Chris Brown I love you so much I would literally suck and f##k every single f###ing day I don’t think you understand,” she said, bluntly. “Every day, nonstop, constantly as much as you want. Every time you wanted it I would do it.”

Brown responded, seemingly laughing at the forward nature of her advance whilst masterfully and politely declining at once.

“I am flattered by that, but 18 is too, too young man, you know,” Brown said. ““I’m flattered though, I’m not lying.”

Ross however appeared to take a different approach, opting for the same sort of method as the girl who applied pressure on Brown.

“Wait so the girl in the red, you’d let me suck and f##k and whenever I want?” Ross petitioned the girl who responded “yeah” while giggling.

Toward the end of the clip, the girl who was shooting her shot with Breezy nearly died of thirst and had to take a second to regain her composure. Of course she wasn’t the only one to lose her mind at the site of Brown. There’s actually a 17-minute version of the stream that’s pure comedy 

Check out the extended YouTube video below.

Megan Thee Stallion Won’t Ditch Her “Hot Girl Summer” Amid Nicki Minaj Feud

Megan Thee Stallion promised to bring back “Hot Girl Summer” despite its connections to Nicki Minaj. Megan teased her Hot Girl Summer Tour and a new album in an interview with Good Morning America on Tuesday (January 30).

“Oh, we’re having the tour this year,” she said. “The Hot Girl Summer Tour is gonna be 2024 summertime. I feel like I’ve never been able to be outside doing my own thing during the summer since like 2019. So, this is gonna be the first time that I drop an album on time for the summer. I do want to give the Hotties the Megan Thee Stallion experience.”

Megan vowed to keep using her signature “Hot Girl Summer” phrase even though her song of the same name featured Nicki. Megan recently angered Nicki by dropping a new single titled “HISS” on January 26.

“These hoes don’t be mad at Megan, these hoes mad at Megan’s Law,” Megan rapped on the song.

The Megan’s Law reference was widely considered to be a Nicki diss because her husband Kenneth Petty is a registered sex offender. Megan’s Law mandated the disclosure of registered sex offenders to protect the public.

Nicki certainly viewed the lyrics as a jab at her. Days later, she fired back with a diss track titled “Big Foot.” The track mentioned the Tory Lanez shooting, Megan’s late mother and much more. Nicki also threatened to release more disses if Megan responded.

“After the 1st one drop, if dat p#### ass hoe so much as BREATHE wrong ima empty da clip,” Nicki wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter). “If that p#### ass hoe deny 1THING I say, I’m posting every fkn receipt known to man. 5. Yes you heard me! Did 5 extra songs. we’ve been waiting on u HO.”

Listen to “HISS” and “Big Foot” below.

Victoria Monét Teams With Black Music Action Coalition To Help Emerging Artists

The Black Music Action Coalition joined forces with Victoria Monét to create a new grant designed to empower the next generation of Black artists. The BMAC x Victoria Monét Music Maker Grant recipient will receive $5,000, access to mentorship opportunities and career advice from Monét.

“We are honored to partner with Victoria Monét to uplift a young and deserving Black artist and help further their dreams within the music industry,” BMAC CEO and co-founder Willie “Prophet” Stiggers said. “Her story is one of resilience and perseverance and it is in that spirit we will continue to pay it forward. BMAC’s mission is to create a more equal playing field by breaking down barriers to entry for our community. Our BMAC Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis Music Maker Dinner is a perfect room to celebrate this initiative.”

Monét’s grant recipient will be chosen following a nationwide search. The grant bolstered BMAC’s extensive lineup of grants and programs aimed at helping Black industry professionals and emerging artists. The organization previously launched a Music Maker Grant with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, who will host BMAC’s Grammy Week Music Maker Dinner in Los Angeles on Wednesday (January 31).

“I met Victoria years ago as a songwriter and to see where her gifts have brought her to today has been an incredible journey to watch,” BMAC co-founder Shawn Holiday said. “As a co-founder of BMAC, I am proud to honor her work with establishing the BMAC x Victoria Monét Music Maker Grant and have the opportunity to work together to uplift the next generation of our industry.”

Monét partnered with the BMAC after scoring seven nominations for the 2024 Grammy Awards, which take place on Sunday (February 4). The singer-songwriter’s single “On My Mama” was nominated for Record of the Year, one of the most coveted awards in the music industry.

Ruby Rose Mistakenly Receives Death Threats Over Nicki Minaj & Megan Thee Stallion Beef

Ruby Rose mistakenly received death threats over Nicki Minaj’s rap feud. In a case of mistaken identity, the Australian actress and TV presenter received messages intended for rapper Rubi Rose.

Rubi Rose had weighed in  on an online feud between Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion, making a number of defamatory claims about Minaj’s health and body. Rubi Rose’s Instagram post caught the attention of Minaj’s die-hard fans, the Barbz. But it was the other Ruby who bore the brunt of the Barbz’s ire.

“I have a ‘Y’ in my name, not an ‘I’,” Ruby wrote in her own Instagram post, pleading with the Barbz to understand she wanted no part in the drama.“I never thought I’d see the day when I was being flooded with death threats for involvement in a rap beef.”

https://www.instagram.com/p/CeHCWyYpbH0/?hl=en&img_index=1

 

Ruby Rose added that her personal Instagram posts were more likely to feature puppies than rappers.

“I do not post about rappers on my Close Friends story,” Ruby wrote. “I assure you my Close Friends list is never used for anything but more dog photos. I don’t know much about the inner workings of the rap world, period.”

The ongoing war between Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion has captivated fans of the former friends and was sent into overdrive when Megan released “HISS” on January 26. The song features lyrics that many interpreted to be a veiled insult aimed at Minaj’s husband, Kenneth Petty.
