Snoop Dogg Roasted For Saying He Has “Nothing But Love & Respect” For Donald Trump

Snoop Dogg pretended to shoot a clown version of Donald Trump in BADBADNOTGOOD’s 2017 video for “Lavender.” But seven years later, he’s changing his tune when it comes to the former president. In a new interview with The Sunday Times, the omnipresent rapper/entrepreneur was asked about Trump. He replied, “Donald Trump?…. He ain’t done nothing wrong to me. He has done only great things for me. He pardoned Michael Harris, so I have nothing but love and respect for Donald Trump.”

Harris, better known in the rap community as Harry-O, was an associate of Death Row Records co-founder Suge Knight and founder of Godfather Entertainment. In the 1980s, Harris was in charge of a nationwide drug trafficking operation that brought in nearly $2 million daily. He said he used the money to invest in local businesses, but he was arrested not only for drug trafficking and attempted murder. Although the victim later recanted and the attempted murder charges were dropped, he remained bars for 33 years.

Trump pardoned Harris in 2021 as he was leaving office. As Snoop told the New York Post at the time, “I love what they did. That’s great work for the president and his team on the way out.”

Snoop Dogg acquired Death Row Records in February 2022 and Harris now serves as the label’s chief operating officer. Twitter, of course, has weighed in on Snoop’s latest comments about Trump. One person wrote, “Who had SnoopDogg supporting Trump on their 2024 bingo card? I sure the f### didn’t,” while another said, “I am so f####g tired of Black people that enable White Supremacists.”

Another person brought up Trump’s sordid past, writing, “This just shows that @SnoopDogg can be bought and paid for through tax cuts. Trump is guilty of raping a woman and is a RACIST. Women(I’m sure he has daughters ) have lost their rights because of Trump but hey never mind about that . I got tax cuts and my black ass don’t pay.”

Paul Wall Wasn’t Feeling Texas Gender Reveal: “Man What The Hell Is Going On”

Paul Wall may have been disturbed by a baby shower in his neighborhood after the soon-to-be parents caused a major spectacle during the celebration.

Over the weekend, The People’s Champ took to TikTok to address an unconventional gender reveal, saying it was so bizarre it actually startled him—at first glance. Wall, who was in the car with his wife, pulled over to record the video because he was in such disbelief at what he just saw.

“Hell nah,” he said. “Me and Cryswall over here riding. We see out the sky a helicopter dropping blue powder out the sky. Man tell me they didn’t just do a gender reveal over here in River Oaks. Hell nahh!”

Wall wasn’t exaggerating either. A Twitter user claiming to be associated with the individuals responsible for the incident remarked about the grandiose reveal in a tweet.

“My rich a## patna in Houston just did a gender reveal with a helicopter Idk what he trying say but I ain’t having no mo kids to top that s###,” the user wrote.

What’s even crazier about the entire incident is the fact that the local Royal Oaks mall Twitter account even utilized the reveal as an advertising opportunity for children’s apparel outfitter Gymboree.

Check out the insane photo of the reveal along with Wall’s hilarious video below.

A$AP Rocky & Westside Gunn Unveil Gorillaz Collab

A$AP Rocky may have just premiered his and Westside Gunn’s 2023 collaboration with the Gorillaz during his recent performance across the pond.

On January 27, Rocky presented a new song called “Whiskey” at Le Gala des Pièces Jaunes in France along with a medley performance of his hits. Even though Rihanna, who supported the father of her children from the crowd, stole most of the spotlight at the event, “Whiskey” drew a fair deal of attention due to the featured artists tentatively billed on the record. You can hear both Gorillaz front man Damon Albarn’s backing vocals on the track along with Westside Gunn’s dynamic adlibs over the luxurious production.

Not to mention, last November Gunn remarked on Twitter (X) about his and Rocky’s legendary studio session with the Gorillaz, revealing they had worked on new music at the time but failing to provide a timeline of release.

“In the studio all night with the Brodie @asvpxrocky I still can’t believe he had me in there with the @gorillaz and don’t ask if we cooked something….. OF COURSE WE DID,” Westside Gunn wrote in a tweet featuring photos of the session.

However, much like Gunn’s initial tweet, following Rocky’s performance, there is no official word on when the record will be released.

Chrisean Rock Debuts Massive New Blueface Face Tattoo—Internet Cringes

Chrisean Rock continues to reaffirm her love for Blueface amid his incarceration by debuting her latest face tattoo bearing his likeness, leading many to question Rock’s sanity.

On Sunday (January 28), Rock shared a post on Instagram solely dedicated to showing off the massive new portrait tattoo she got of Blueface on her cheek. Above the portrait appears to be Blueface’s mugshot and his given name, Johnathan, written in cursive script text above her eyebrow.

“Freeblueface free my daddy I love you papa @bluefasebaby,” Rock wrote in the caption of the post.

Twitter (X) users promptly exploded with harsh critiques of Rock’s new tattoo, criticizing her relationship with Blueface in the process.

“Chrisean Rock getting blueface tatto on her face has to be the most dumbest thing in the history of mankind,” one user wrote, to which another user replied, “Chrisean Rock’s father tryna eat at popeyes knowing that his daughter is an embarrassment to all the ancestors.”

Other users appeared to predict the imminent fallout of the stunt from Rock’s perspective within the coming weeks.

“Chrisean Rock two weeks from now explaining the face tattoo after Blueface cheats on her for the millionth time,” the user wrote.

In addition to Rock’s recent portrait tattoo of Blueface, she also previously commissioned a gigantic neck tattoo of her alleged baby daddy in October of 2022. Not to mention, Rock also recently responded to the backlash after announcing she was moving back into the home she shared with Blueface while the MILF Music founder is in jail. 

“Y’all mad I forgave a n####. Okay? He forgave me too, right?” she began. According to Rock, she and Blueface mended their relationship before he handed himself into jail, so she stopped bashing him in public.

“We was vibing, we was co-parenting,” she said. “That’s why you see me shut up. Out of nowhere I started shutting up.”

SIGNS: Military Plane Explodes Mid-Flight—At Least 70 Casualties Confirmed

A tragedy occurred in Ukraine today after a major aircraft crashed, causing everyone onboard to perish.

According to reports, a Russian military cargo transport plane crashed in a border region near Ukraine, and Moscow on January 24. Footage from near the site of the crash appears to show a massive fireball engulfing the wreckage. All 74 people aboard the plane were killed, including 65 Ukrainian prisoners of war that were traveling for prisoner swap.

Russia offered no evidence but almost immediately accused Kyiv of shooting it down. In a statement provided to the Associated Press, the Russian Defense Ministry said the Il-76 transport plane was carrying 65 POWs, a crew of six and three Russian servicemen. The statement also claims Russian radar registered the launch of two missiles from Ukraine’s Kharkiv region that borders Belgorod.

Kendrick Lamar Unreleased Music Debuts During Chanel Runway Show In Paris

Kendrick Lamar has unleashed yet another unreleased record from his vault in connection to his recent release for Chanel. On Tuesday (January 23), a track tentatively titled as “Tranquilizer” soundtracked the Spring/Summer 2024 runway presentation for the haute couture brand, which took place in Paris.

Equipped with intoxicating production, the track is embedded with a playfully dark tongue-in-cheek hook as Lamar raps, “Some of you love me tranquilizer, and I vow to put you all down.” In addition to Dave Free, and Lamar, Naomi Campbell, who also collaborated with the former pair on the trailer for the “Chanel Shows” short film, sat in the front row during the show.

Following the runway show, the full short film starring Margaret Qualle was also premiered at the Grand Palais Ėphémère. Another unreleased song from Lamar also appears in the short feature, which was scored by the pgLang co-founder as well.

No More Drama: Mary J. Blige Back On Lovers & Friends Lineup

Mary J. Blige’s recent saga with the Lovers and Friends festival has come to a close after some initial confusion. Blige claimed she was included on the line-up for the Lovers & Friends festival in “error.”

The “No More Drama” singer took to her Instagram Stories to insist that she would not be performing at the Las Vegas festival – despite her inclusion on the line-up poster.

“I am beyond humbled by the response from all of you about the announcement of me on Lovers & Friends Festival,” she wrote. “Unfortunately my inclusion was an error as I will be busy in preparation for my Strength of a Woman Summit just one week later! I have the greatest fans in the world and can’t wait to see you in New York in a few short months!”

Despite her message, her name remained on the poster for the R&B and Hip-Hop festival. Organizers later posted footage of Mary J. Blige performing at the Super Bowl and wrote, “THE QUEEN OF R&B HERSELF, MARY J BLIGE! we can’t wait to see her perform in vegas @therealmaryjblige.”

When fans expressed confusion about the mixed messages, the organizers insisted she is still on the line-up. “Yes she will be here! She took down the post. See you in Vegas,” they wrote in a comment.

Lovers & Friends takes place at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds on May 4. The star-studded line-up also includes Janet Jackson, Usher, Backstreet Boys, Lil Wayne, Snoop Dogg, Gwen Stefani, Alicia Keys, Ludacris, Ciara, Nelly and more.

The following week, Mary J. Blige will host her Strength of a Woman festival and summit, named after her 2017 song and album, to empower women around the world to reach their highest potential.

It takes place over Mother’s Day weekend on May 11 and 12.

Halle Bailey Slams Critic Who Accused Her Of “Lying” About Pregnancy

Halle Bailey and rapper DDG welcomed their first child on January 6, ending months of speculation. But some fans are apparently taking issue with the singer’s lack of transparency. On Sunday (January 28), someone tweeted, “I don’t think people are mad she hid her pregnancy. People are more so annoyed that she went out of her way to lie and gaslight about it. Then, she shaded people and called them desperate. Now, she wants those same “desperate” people to know every little detail.”

Bailey caught wind of the tweet and replied, “I never lied or even said anything about it honey , making a joke about my nose was the farthest i went . i’ll never understand why you are mad i protected my own peace, wouldn’t you do the same? and i’m gonna share my pics now if i want to because my son is here safely, if u don’t wanna see it just keep scrolling baby lol God bless you!”

Bailey responded to another person who wrote, “Halle, baby. Kill it. You didn’t tell us bout the baby then. You didn’t speak then. Dont speak now & leave us out the conversation. Enjoy your jit in peace. We don’t care.” Bailey asked, “If u don’t care why are u responding then sweetheart. just don’t care by living ur best life and not commenting on mine.”

It didn’t take long for Bailey to pull back and realize she had better things to do. She concluded the exchange with, “lol my hormones have been on 10 recently so i’m gonna go back to staying off twitter. love you all.”

Although DDG made a valiant effort to keep the pregnancy a secret. When a fan recently asked on Snapchat whether he had a child with Bailey, he simply responded, “No.” He also expressed how tired he was of people prying into his personal life, adding, “I don’t know why people is so invested in what I got going on or what we got going on. Mind your business. Go outside. Touch some grass. Go do a cartwheel in the backyard or something. It’s weird. I genuinely don’t be understanding. Why do y’all be so invested in people that don’t know you?”

Bailey recently stared in the film The Color Purple. 

Snoop Dogg Reveals How Many Grandchildren He Has

Snoop Dogg, 53, has revealed he has 12 grandchildren. The rapper was speaking on “The Jennifer Hudson Show” when he revealed exactly how many grandchildren he has.

“I have a total of 12 grandkids,” Snoop Dogg, 53, said. “And they’re different ages, ranges, sizes and I love them all the same way.”

He added: “Actually, my oldest grandson, his birthday is today so I’m on my way to his birthday party when I leave here. He’s going to be 9 years old, that’s Zion Broadus.”

Snoop Dogg explained that Zion was the first of his grandchildren to give him a name.

“He used to call me Papa Noop, because he couldn’t say Snoop, so he started calling me Papa Noop. And then as time went by, he learned how to say Snoop, so now I’m Papa Snoop.”

Last year, the star explained what being called “Papa” meant to him.

“Papa!’ That s### means the world to me for them to call me that because I had a papa,” he told People magazine. “My grandpa was my best friend and for me to be that for my grandkids is showing that I actually did well and I was able to outlive the circumstances.”

Snoop Dogg is a father to four children. He shares sons Corde, 29, and Cordell, 26, as well as daughter Cori, 24, with his wife, Shante Broadus. He also has a son, Julian, 25, from a previous relationship.

Jamie Foxx “Back In Action” On Set After Mysterious Health Scare

Jamie Foxx is back at work following his health scare last April. The Oscar-winning actor is back on-set for the first time since he was hospitalized last year.

Jamie was spotted filming with co-star Cameron Diaz in Atlanta. The stars are making the Netflix action-comedy film “Back in Action.”

Jamie’s daughter Corinne Foxx announced last April that Jamie had been hospitalized while he was filming, but it’s never been made public what happened. The 56-year-old made his first public appearance since his illness in December at the Critics Choice Association’s Celebration of Cinema and Television: Honoring Black, Latino and AAPI Achievements.

He received a standing ovation as he collected the Vanguard Award for his career and his performance in “The Burial.”

“I’ve been through something, I’ve been through some things,” he said in his acceptance speech. “You know, it’s crazy, I couldn’t do that six months ago – I couldn’t actually walk.

He added: “I cherish every single minute now – it’s different. I wouldn’t wish what I went through on my worst enemy because it’s tough when it’s almost over… when you see the tunnel. I saw the tunnel – I didn’t see the light.”

He explained how his illness had given him a new-found respect for his career. “Don’t give up on your art and don’t let them take the art from you, either,” he said.

Rihanna & Natalie Portman Stan Out Over Each In Paris

Rihanna and Natalie Portman have spoken about their mutual appreciation of each other at Paris Fashion Week. The two high-profile women were at the Dior Haute Couture show when they ran into each other outside.

“I am f###### fan!” Rihanna raved. “You’re one of the hottest b###### in Hollywood forever!” She added: “You do the most innocent look, and I’m like ‘Ugh!'”

Natalie returned the compliment. “Are you kidding me? Excuse me, I’m gonna faint. I’m gonna black out!” she said. “I love you and I listen to your music all the time and you’re just such a queen, thank you!”

Rihanna then asked nearby paparazzi to take a photo of them together. “Can somebody take a picture so I can remember this happened tomorrow?!” said the popstar “I don’t get excited about anybody!”

Natalie has been an ambassador for Dior since 2011. At her recent Golden Globes appearance, she wore a Dior Couture gown, which was hand-beaded and embroidered with an Impressionist landscape of micro-flowers and vermicelli.

She said: “My dress… took hundreds of hours of work, so I’m really lucky to get to wear this – it’s like a garden on a dress.”

EXCLUSIVE: DJ Envy’s Former Business Partner Cesar Pina Issued Arrest Ultimatum

DJ Envy‘s former business partner, Cesar Pina, has been issued an ultimatum by the court. The embattled entrepreneur has less than a week to produce the requested paperwork to move forward in the case. If he fails, he’ll be taken into custody. According to court documents obtained by AllHipHop, the court issued the order to both Pina and his wife, Jennifer Iturralde Pina, on Wednesday (January 24).

“Cesar Pina and Jennifer Iturralde Pina are hereby found to be held in contempt of this Court’s Order granting the Motion directing Cesar Pina, Jennifer Iturralde Pina and Raashaun Casey to produce copies of all documents requested on Schedule A, B and C of the Subpoenas (ECF 57) (collectively, the ‘subpoenas’),” the docs read. “Cesar Pina and Jennifer Iturralde Pina shall have seven (7) days from entry of this Order to produce documents requested in the Subpoenas to the Chapter 11 Trustee.

“Should Cesar Pina and Jennifer Iturralde Pina fail to produce documents to the Chapter 11 trustee in the time period outlined in paragraph 2, counsel for the Chapter 11 Trustee shall submit an Order for Arrest to this Court to advise the United States Marshall to arrest Cesar Pina and Jennifer Iturralde Pina. This Court shall retain exclusive jurisdiction to hear and decide any and all disputes related to or arising from the implementation, interpretation, or enforcement of this Order.”

DJ Envy was issued a subpoena last month to testify in the case against his former business partner, Cesar Pina. The Breakfast Club co-host’s attorney, Daniel Marchese Esq., has confirmed his client will willingly tell his side of the story in front of a judge. As Marchese writes in the court docs, “We are aware that on December 20, 2023, the Court issued an Order compelling the production of documents demanded in those subpoenas. At this time, I am happy to report that on Friday, January 5, 2024, we forwarded our responses and document production to counsel for the Trustee in these aforementioned cases.

“Given the professional back-and-forth between counsel and I since then, it would appear that indeed the responses and the production were acknowledged and received by the Trustee. With this writing, I therefore confirm my client’s compliance with Your Honor’s Order. As I offered to Trustee’s counsel, I will likewise offer to the Court that should sworn testimony (in any form) be needed to affirm my client’s responses and production, he would readily oblige.”

Federal authorities arrested Pina and charged him with defrauding dozens of real estate investors late last year. Pina defended Envy in October 2023 not long after his arrest, saying he  had nothing to do with the alleged real estate scam and is only being targeted because he’s the more famous of the two.

“DJ Envy was never in the room with me,” Pina told his Instagram followers. “DJ Envy has nothing to do with any of these 20 lawsuits of these people who are suing me. It f###### sucks, bro.”

YNW Melly Trial Update: Prosecutors Fight Over 20 Minute Video Causes Indefinite Delay

YNW Melly’s trial has been an epic, multifaceted legal saga, and in the latest development, the rapper’s double murder retrial has been put on hold indefinitely.

The pause comes as prosecutors have decided to appeal a judge’s order suppressing a controversial 20-minute video about his life, which has been barred from being shown to future jurors, who must decide if he is guilty of double murder charges.

YNW Melly’s lawyer argued that a specific part of a promotional or documentary video prosecutors wanted to use as evidence in the trial should be tossed. The part is a 14-second clip that shows the text: “Four days after this film was finished, YNW Melly and his friends were attacked in a drive-by shooting in Miami, Florida. YNW Juvy and YNW Sakchaser died.”

In this part of the video, YNW Melly can be seen in the background. His lawyer argued that this video clip should not be used in court because the text is considered hearsay and double hearsay, it’s not something YNW Melly said, and it’s not relevant to the case.

However, the State believes that this clip can be used as evidence because it is an “adoptive admission,” a type of statement that can be an exception to the hearsay rule, according to a Florida Statute. But Judge John Murphy III ruled in favor of YNW Melly.

“While this short video focuses on Defendant’s lifejt is mere speculation to guess who decided to add the text statement. It could have been the director, the producer, an editor, [YNW Melly], or any number of people. Thus, without knowing the source of the comment, it holds no evidentiary value.”

YNW Melly’s legal quandary stems from the October 2018 deaths of Anthony Williams (YNW Sakchaser) and Christopher Thomas Jr. (YNW Juvy), two friends and associates of Melly in the YNW (Young N#### World) collective.

The case against YNW Melly alleges that he and another YNW member, Cortlen Henry (YNW Bortlen), staged the double homicide to resemble a drive-by shooting. 

According to authorities, after shooting Williams and Thomas, Melly and Henry drove around with the bodies for an extended period before taking them to the hospital, where they were pronounced dead.

The case has seen many twists and turns, including witness tampering charges, a mistrial due to a deadlocked jury, and a reshuffling of the prosecution team.

YNW Melly’s initial trial began in June, with the prosecution presenting various pieces of evidence, including a text message allegedly from Melly confessing to the murders. 

Despite this, the jury could not reach a unanimous verdict, leading to a mistrial in July. 

A juror later claimed that the jury was manipulated into this mistrial, with allegations of one juror being particularly obstructive and causing chaos in the deliberation process.

Following the mistrial, prosecutors prepared for a retrial, with jury selection beginning anew in October. However, the defense team successfully argued for removing the lead prosecutor, Kristine Bradley, citing prosecutorial misconduct. 

This led to the appointment of a new prosecutor, Alixandra Buckelew, who requested additional time to familiarize herself with the case.

The defense has consistently argued for Melly’s innocence, even as the prosecution has sought to paint a picture of a calculated murder disguised as a drive-by shooting.

YNW Melly, who faces the death penalty if convicted, remains in custody. His legal team has also filed a motion for a bond hearing, citing the judge’s decision to grant bond to his co-defendant, YNW Bortlen. 

Nicki Minaj Gives Ben Shapiro’s Viral Rap Her Seal Of Approval—People Lose It

Nicki Minaj has weighed in on Ben Shapiro and Tom McDonald’s random rap collaboration, “Facts.” McDonald and the conservative talk show host/editor of The Daily Wire released the song and accompanying video on Friday (January 26) and somehow, it became the No. 1 song on iTunes.

Shapiro, of course, can’t stop bragging about it, tweeting, “We’re now #1 overall on iTunes, too. On the way, we knocked off, among others, Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, Megan Thee Stallion, Nicki Minaj, Eminem, and Taylor Swift. @IAMTOMMACDONALD and I have officially made hip-hop great again, as was always my lifelong dream.” He also added “America’s #1 rapper” to his Twitter bio.

Upon hearing the track, Minaj tweeted, “I just listened to it @benshapiro not bad. Congrats on #1. But it def sounds like Roman’s Revenge when the beat first came in…idk.”

She added, “Ben Shapiro put out a diss record. He said his comment sections are filled with woke Karens. The song is #1 on US iTunes. what is rlly happening & whos is that other man rapping???? Is this real life??!! He said ‘Nicki take some notes’ nah AYO nah.”

Some people are disgusted by Minaj’s support of a person who has a reputation for being antisemitic, racist, transphobic and homophobic.

“Nicki Minaj really congratulated Ben Shapiro for going #1 on ITunes for that rap song with Tom Macdonald. What a bunch of clowns,” one person commented, while another said, “So Nicki Minaj is congratulating a racist bigoted white nationalist Ben Shapiro who is 100% against any black progress in America. Sis something is wrong with you but remember you was spreading disinformation about COVID.”

The comments are pouring in. Check out some of them below.

Busta Rhymes Lays Out His Retirement “Plan”

Busta Rhymes will never stop making new Hip-Hop music. The legendary rapper will never step away from creating new music privately in the studio, even if he decides to stop releasing it publicly later in his career.

“Every good thing comes to an end, but I don’t think I’d ever call it retirement,” he told The Guardian. “I love Hip-Hop culture too much. It has let me see the whole planet. Even if I am not releasing records publicly, I will always record just for me, even as an old-ass man. I love being inside those four walls of the studio.”

The 51-year-old musician, real name Trevor Smith Jr., explained that he uses his time in the studio to escape reality and doesn’t see himself letting that go.

“The studio doesn’t disrespect you or betray you; it is the place I go to escape all of that s###,” he shared. “I can be whoever I want to be in there. I can be Thanos, a dragon, a gentle giant. The passion for rapping continues to burn in my spirit and my soul, so, for now, I am going to continue on this path.”

Busta doesn’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon – he released his eleventh studio album, Blockbusta, in November.

Ashanti Pregnancy Rumors Ramp Up Following Performance With Ja Rule

Ashanti reunited with her former beau Nelly in 2023 after roughly a decade apart. The couple sparked pregnancy rumors in recent months, but Fat Joe appeared to confirm she wasn’t carrying Nelly’s child. However, new video of Ashanti performing has ramped up the rumors once again.

In a clip of the veteran singer joining Ja Rule for their 2002 hit single “Mesmerize,” Ashanti is wearing an oversized t-shirt with thigh high boots in what looks like an attempt to hide a baby bump—at least that’s what her fans think. Social media lit up with comments about the possibility of her being pregnant.

“Ashanti is glowing, showing her most significant purpose in life just growing inside her,” one person wrote. “She’s rare and a lucky woman at 43 years old. Not many men would risk getting an older woman pregnant, especially men who already have kids. Ashanti wasn’t just a smash; she was a prize. I’m glad she won’t die alone like most women with no kids or a man her age; she has love and a legacy.”

Another added, “Ashanti might be pregnant. All these damn moomoo’s she keep wearing now,” while another said, “@ashanti obviously pregnant happy for her and Nelly.”

A post shared by Felisha Tteyoh (@lishahoyett)

A source allegedly confirmed Ashanti and Nelly were expecting in December 2023, telling US Weekly, “Nelly and Ashanti are welcoming their first baby together.” That same month, Ashanti attended Nelly’s Black and White Ball in St. Louis. During the event, the “Only U” singer put her hand on her stomach while on stage with Nelly and he did the same. The couple then broke into laughter after seemingly hinting that they’re expanding their family.

If the rumors are true, the baby will be Ashanti’s first child. Nelly shares daughter Chanelle, 29, and son Cornell Haynes III, 24, with ex Channetta Valentine.

Benzino’s Daughter Coi Leray Speaks On Father’s Decades-Long Beef With Eminem

Coi Leray has shared a few thoughts on her father Benzino’s long-running feud with Eminem. Slim Shady reignited his beef with the former editor of The Source on Friday (January 26) with the track “Doomsday Pt. 2.” Armed with the same disdain he’s carried for him for more than 20 years, Em took aim at his physical appearance.

“What is the opposite of Benzino? A giraffe,” he raps. “Go at his neck, how the f### is that?/How can I go at something he doesn’t have/Arms so short he can’t even touch his hands/When they’re above his head doing jumping jacks/Sorry, I don’t mean to upset you Ben/When I talk about all the debt you in/I hear that you been creeping on the low/In them cheap hotels that they catch you in.”

Leray also caught a stray with, “Well, I guess then I regret to inform you, hate to spoil the day/But this doesn’t bring me no joy to say/Guess that Coi Leray feat’s in the toilet, ay.”

Both Leray and Benzino reacted to Eminem’s bars on Twitter (X) shortly after the song went up. But Leray circled back to remind her fans what a waste of time she thinks their beef is.

“There’s no way I’m about to entertain these grown a## men and the beef they been having for over 20years,” she wrote. “Lmao it’s so stupid all I can do is laugh. 2 decades later ?? gtfoh im grown. Move along. Go Stream my s###.”

After Coi Leray heard “Doomsday Pt. 2,” she initially tweeted, “Rap beef is so washed and tired. Exhausting. Embarrassing. Just f###ing over all corny as f###.” She added, “Man who the hell said I wanted a Eminem feature ?? . Imagine Eminem on Wanna Come thru?” then concluded, “I got no issues with no one. I’m so locked in on my grown and sexy vibes… if anybody don’t like me, that’s something they gotta take on with them selves.”

Benzino, meanwhile, challenged Eminem to a boxing match, tweeting, “Man c’mon, people are out here starving and this what he on? That nursery rhyme bs??? He can’t even come out side on his own. Nah bro sorry. That ain’t it. People in Detroit are f##### up. He got millions. Doing absolutely nothing. Why won’t he fight me? Boxing. I’ll beat the link off him. He can’t even go across the street his entire life without security. I’m too old for this rap … Bro he’s too old and nobody cares. C’mon man grow up.”

Eminem and Benzino’s issues date back to 2002, when The Source magazine gave Eminem’s critically acclaimed album The Eminem Show a 4/5 rating. He only recently admitted to blocking it from receiving a perfect score.

Blac Chyna Ready For More Children

Blac Chyna has suggested she wants more children with her current partner, Derrick Milano.

The reality star, who has had several plastic surgery features reversed, has told Entertainment Tonight the only reason she might go under the knife again is to have more children.

“I feel like the only time I’ll have to get surgery again is if I have our babies,” she said on-camera to rapper boyfriend of several months, Derrick. “I actually had two C-sections, so that’s the only surgery.”

Derrick added that he “absolutely” wants to have kids with his partner. Blac Chyna, who now goes by her birth name Angela Renee White, is already mom to son King Cairo, 11, with ex-partner Tyga, and daughter Dream seven, with Rob Kardashian.

Despite being ready to become a mom again, she admitted her kids aren’t so keen on expanding the family. “I think I said something to Dream one time, like, ‘Dream, would you want a little brother or sister?’ And Dream was like, ‘No.’ Then she’ll be like ‘Well, I would maybe want a little brother, that way he’ll be really nice to me.’”

Angela has been embroiled in messy custody battles with both of her ex-partners, but she confirmed these have been resolved.

“We have structure. I think structure’s key,” she said. “I fought my way through it. It’s done. I’m so excited. You have no idea.”

In September 2023, she announced she had been sober for a year.

“September 14 2023 marks my one-year of sobriety this year taught me a lot about myself,” she wrote on Instagram. “I made up my mind on September 14 2022 that I was done with the alcohol. This process is not easy but I did it, I plan on continuing practicing sobriety.”

Lil Nas X Talks Hellish Debut Of Latest Single “J Christ”

Lil Nas X has insisted he is not “upset” about his latest single, “J Christ,” underperforming on the charts. “J Christ,” the lead single from Lil Nas X’s upcoming album, debuted at No. 69 on Billboard’s Hot 100 over the weekend, a far cry from Nas’ usual position at the top of the charts.

However, in an interview with Variety, the “Old Town Road” hitmaker insisted he was “thankful” to be in the charts at all.

“I’m proud of my song and the video. Everyone expected me to be upset or something,” he said. “But I’m a very spiritual person. I’m thankful that I get to even be in the charts and still be in the conversation. And I’m making new music and it’s been so long. So I’m grateful for that.”

The 24-year-old sparked controversy with the religious imagery in the “J Christ” artwork and music video, which showed him affixed to a cross and playing basketball with the Devil. He later apologized for causing offense with the imagery.

Earlier this week, Nas joked about the sexual connotation behind his chart position.

“We did it boys! We reached the funny number,” he wrote on X/Twitter. “Be very proud of yourselves. this is our moment!”

He followed up “J Christ” with a new single titled “Where Do We Go Now?” As for the upcoming album, Nas is feeling no pressure to live up to the success of his debut, Montero.

“I’m a very spiritual young man. I believe that things are going to work out as long as I’m doing my part,” he stated. “I’ve never worked harder on an album or done more in my life internally to get things right. I’m excited for the outcome.”

Keke Palmer Accused Of Stalking Ex-Boyfriend’s Family

Keke Palmer has been hit with a restraining order by her ex-boyfriend Darius Jackson’s brother. Sarunas Jackson has filed restraining orders against Keke and her mother Sharon Palmer.

Sarunas, also an actor, has accused the pair of “harassment,” according to documents and is seeking protection for himself, his parents, and one of his other brothers. The “Insecure” actor alleged that Keke harassed him on January 11.

“She has made foul claims that I have sexual abuse claims on me when I do not,” Sarunas wrote, detailing the alleged harassment. “I have never done such a thing. She has gone to the media & has used her celebrity to publicly lie on (sic) my family and myself, which has resulted in death threats by the public.”

The actor has also claimed that Keke stalked his friends and family online.

“She has harassed and stalked my friends and family’s social media,” the filing claimed. “She has reached out to people in relation to me to lie on (sic) me and my family. Has caused career damage.”

According to the documents, Sarunas has demanded that Keke Palmer stay at least “150 yards” away from him, his family, his home and his workplace. The actor also claimed Sharon had threatened him and his family.

The restraining orders come weeks after Darius claimed Keke was the “primary aggressor” in their relationship following her initial domestic violence complaint.

Keke Palmer and Darius welcomed a son, Leodis, in February last year. Their relationship ended in late 2023 and they have been embroiled in legal battles ever since.
