Megan Thee Stallion Secures Major Label Backing—But With A Catch

Megan Thee Stallion has found a new distributor after getting out of her contract with 1501 Certified Entertainment. According to Billboard, the Texas-bred rapper signed a distribution deal with Warner Music Group.

The agreement will allow Megan to technically remain independent while receiving support from WMG. She expressed her desire to stay independent when discussing her next studio album via Instagram Live in October.

“I’m so excited to be doing something for the first time independent since it was just me and my momma,” she said. “I’m so excited ‘cause it’s really just me this go round.”

The WMG deal marks a new chapter for Megan following her messy split from 1501. She was embroiled in a lengthy legal battle with her former label until both sides settled the contract dispute in October.

“Megan Thee Stallion and 1501 Certified Entertainment are pleased to announce that they have mutually reached a confidential settlement to resolve their legal differences,” a rep for 1501 said. “As part of the arrangement, both parties have agreed to amicably part ways. Both Megan and 1501 are pleased to put this matter behind them and move forward with the next chapter of their respective businesses. All of us at 1501 wish Megan the very best in her life and career.”

The multi-platinum-selling rapper’s last album for 1501, Traumazine, dropped in 2022. It peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard 200, becoming the second-highest charting album of her career.

Megan released “Cobra,” her first single since returning to the independent scene, in November. She told fans the song was “the introduction of act one” with more to come.

“Cobra” debuted at No. 32 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song’s music video generated more than 13 million YouTube views on as of Tuesday (December 12)/

Quando Rondo Enters Plea After FBI Busts Him For Drug Trafficking

Quando Rondo pleaded not guilty to federal drug charges in Savannah, Georgia on Tuesday (December 12). The 24-year-old rapper appeared in court after he was taken into custody by the FBI this past weekend.

The Atlantic Records artist remains in jail awaiting a bond hearing. He is expected to return to court on Thursday (December 14).

Rondo was charged with one count of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute controlled substances. Federal prosecutors accused Rondo and others of conspiring to distribute cocaine, fentanyl, marijuana and methamphetamine.

Bradley Thompson, the Assistant U.S. District Attorney for the Southern District of Georgia, said Rondo’s co-defendants Donald “Lil D” Davis and Ty’sean “Stro” Davis were arraigned in the case two weeks ago. According to WJCL, a fourth co-conspirator named Laron “Hollywood” Thompson was arrested on Tuesday. Several other names were not released as they’ve yet to be arrested.

Rondo, whose real name is Tyquian Bowman, was arrested by the feds while out on bond in a state case. Earlier this year, he was indicted as the alleged leader of a street gang. He was accused of conspiring to sell marijuana and purchase hydrocodone pills.

Last month, Rondo suggested someone snitched in the drug and gang case.

“I ain’t fw with nobody right now!” Quando Rondo wrote on Instagram Stories. “I don’t want nobody with my number right now! I got one of the best lawyers and private investigators on my team. This discovery [and] paperwork done [opened] my eyes one of y’all n##### in the circle been talking that’s why I cut all ties. I’m innocent!”

A Georgia judge granted a $100,000 bond to Rondo in the state case in June. Prosecutors asked the judge to revoke his bond, but the request was denied in July. Months later, Judge Tammy Stokes rejected the prosecution’s bid to modify Rondo’s bond.

King Yella Responds To Allegations He Snitched On Offset, 600Breezy & More

King Yella has issued a statement in response to allegations that he snitched on multiple artists.

On December 11, Yella was accused of snitching on rappers such as Offset, Snap Dogg and 600 Breezy, based on paperwork obtained by a rap-police blogger. According to the alleged paperwork, Yella confirmed alleged gang involvement of the aforementioned artists, allegedly identifying Offset’s affiliation with the GD’s (Gangster Disciples) in addition to purportedly implicating naming names such as Lil Durk, among others, in ongoing cases.

Yella has already shared a response video of his own in which he defends his character and vehemently denies the snitching allegations while also highlighting his unfortunately lengthy prison record.

“Y’all would consider anything rat—a rat is what these n###s is doing. I went to prison for four years gang!” Yella said in part on Instagram Live.

He continued, essentially claiming that Offset was responsible for his prison stint in 2018.“Is it bogus? Yeah but that’s what they asked me—and guess what? They the reason I am in there, the whole Offset and Cardi B s##t is the reason they snatched me up,” Yella said.

Check out the details of the alleged paperwork seized below.

RZA Wants To Turn Wu-Tang Clan’s Sin City Residency Into Hip-Hop’s New Playground

Wu-Tang Clan announced a Las Vegas residency on Tuesday (December 12). The legendary group will set up shop at The Theater at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas for “The Saga Continues” residency in 2024.

The Hip-Hop legends kick off their run in Sin City during Super Bowl weekend, starting with shows on February 9 and 10. Two more shows are scheduled for March 22 and 23.

“We are honored to welcome Wu-Tang Clan to The Theater at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas for their historic, first-ever Las Vegas residency,” AEG Presents Las Vegas senior vice president Bobby Reynolds told Rolling Stone. “This is a groundbreaking moment not only for this venue but for Las Vegas as a whole.”

RZA discussed his excitement for the residency in an interview with the New York Times. He envisioned more Hip-Hop greats joining the Wu-Tang Clan in Las Vegas.

“I’m in that spirit of loving where there’s a hub of art and then loving that I — in my talent and the Wu-Tang brothers — can add to that hub and of course eventually invite more Hip-Hop artists to come and play in this sandbox with us,” RZA said.

RZA noted how the “art form has evolved” when explaining his interest in the residency.

“Hip-Hop is rich in its content and what it offers creatively to an audience,” he told the New York Times. “Hip-Hop can go where any other art form has gone before.”

According to RZA, the Wu-Tang Clan had been in talks about doing a Vegas residency for five years. The group finally secured the gig after celebrating the 30th anniversary of their classic debut Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) in November.

Tickets for “The Saga Continues” residency officially go on sale this Friday (December 15). Pre-sales are available now using the code CREAM.

Paul Wall Credits E-40 & Pimp C With Not Letting Chamillionaire Beef Escalate

Paul Wall and Termanology released their second joint album, Start To Finish Repeat, on November 3, a continuation of the unexpected chemistry they displayed on 2022’s Start To Finish. During a recent interview with SPIN, the duo spoke about the making of the album, the respect they have for Bun B (who appears numerous times throughout the project) and the initial shock people felt when they first teamed up. After all, Wall is a Houston rap legend while Term hails from the East Coast and has a penchant for boom bap beats—not the chopped and screwed style so prevalent in the South.

At one point during the conversation, Wall opened up about his relationship with former collaborative partner Chamillionaire. In 2002, they joined forces for the album Get Ya Mind Correct, which went on to sell more than 150,000 copies. But their relationship went awry just two years later when Wall and his entourage allegedly attacked Chamillionaire’s younger brother, Rasaq Seriki. Although they ultimately squashed their beef in 2010, they had a little help behind the scenes from people who refused to let it escalate—namely E-40 and the late Pimp C.

“I remember Pimp C and E-40, both of them being the only two people in the world that would come to me and come to him and say, ‘Y’all trippin’. There’s way too much money out there,'” Wall explained. “The opportunity is here now and y’all guys grew up together. You guys need to figure that s### out. Don’t put that s### on wax. Keep it to yourself. Keep it player.’ They both told us that. When Pimp C got out of jail, that was the first thing he said: “What’s up with you and Chamillionaire.” I’d tell him something, and he’d be like, “You’re trippin’. I told him the same thing: ‘Y’all’s beef is over.'”

Wall confirmed Pimp C was “absolutely” instrumental in not letting it get out of control. He added, “And E-40 as well. He was one of our first mentors who was there for me and Chamillionaire at early, early stages. Bun B was the other one, but Bun B stayed out of it, though. Pimp C went out of his way to tell us we were trippin’. E-40 went out of his way too and gave us a list of all the rappers and rap groups throughout the years that broke up and got back together, and nobody gave a f### about them. The momentum was gone. He was like, “Is this going to be you or what?”

Wall said he and Chamillionaire are “cool” now and not dissing each other publicly helped repair their fractured friendship, one they’d had since they were little kids.

“When me and Chamillionaire went our separate ways, neither one of us really mentioned each other,” Wall said. “He had his beef with Mike Jones on wax, where they had a rap beef on wax, and I wasn’t really included in that. Neither one of them mentioned my name really or brought me into it, so I didn’t get in it. But even before that, when me and him were having our issues, we always tried to understand each other. I think it was just an unspoken rule.

“We grew up with each other. I’ve known him since I was five years old. We kept our personal thing private. We didn’t put it out publicly. We both understood that fans got a kick out of us having a beef, even though they’re a fan of both of us. It’s like wrestling where you want to see the fight because it’s entertainment to you. But we’re real people, and we had real issues with each other. It wasn’t a joke to us, so we didn’t buy into that when people were trying to rile us up to diss each other. We both kept it private, and I’m really glad that we did. Because when you look at us as a history of MCs, there’s not on wax me talking about him and him talking about me.”

Paul Wall and Termanology have plans for a third collaborative album, although they haven’t announced a release date for the project quite yet.

“The first album we did was such a shock to people,” Wall said. “We felt like we made dope music. We wanted to let our fans know that it was out and let hip-hop fans know that it was out. It was kind of an experiment. So when the fans really took to it, it encouraged us to do it again. We’re already working on the third one.”

Young Thug Trial Derailed By Stabbing; Judge Sets Return Date

The stabbing of Young Thug’s co-defendant put the YSL RICO trial on hold for the rest of 2023. Judge Ural Glanville announced the Georgia trial will be in recess until 2024 on Tuesday (December 12).

Young Thug’s co-defendant Shannon Stillwell was unable to appear in court for the second straight day after getting stabbed in the Fulton County Jail. Judge Glanville gave jurors an extended holiday break due to the uncertainty regarding Stillwell’s health. The jury was supposed to hear several days of testimony before recessing on Friday (December 15).

“Unfortunately, [Stillwell’s] medical condition still exists,” Judge Glanville told the jury. “And given the length of time that we’re probably gonna have to address that, it might just be more prudent to recess you and give you an early recess instead of recessing you this Friday as the court’s plan was originally. I’m gonna recess you for the holidays today.”

Jurors are scheduled to return to court on January 2, 2024. Judge Glanville told attorneys to use the break to interview any witnesses they haven’t had a chance to speak to yet.

Stillwell was stabbed in the stomach before Day 10 of the YSL RICO trial. He was taken to the Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta. Judge Glanville issued an order to keep Stillwell separate from his co-defendants when the stabbing victim returned to jail.

Fulton County Sheriff’s Office identified Stillwell’s alleged attacker as inmate Willie Brown, a murder suspect accused of killing a teen. Brown was charged with aggravated assault and possession of prohibited items for the jailhouse stabbing.

Stillwell and Young Thug are two of the six defendants in the YSL RICO trial, which began in November. Both men face multiple charges. Stillwell’s charges include murder as prosecutors linked him to the 2015 killing of Donovan Thomas.

Kanye West’s Controversial Black “Ku Klux Klan” Hood Leads To Social Media Explosion

Kanye West is once again a trending Twitter (X) topic after he appeared at his album listening party wearing a black “Ku Klux Klan” hood. The polarizing rapper showed up at Wynwood Marketplace in Miami to preview his forthcoming joint album with Ty Dolla $ign, Vultures. During a performance of the title track—which includes the line “How I’m antisemitic?/I just f#### a Jewish b####”—West stood there proudly in the inflammatory garb.

West made sure to invite several of those who contributed to the album onstage, including Freddie Gibbs, Chris Brown, Offset, Kodak Black and Lil Durk—even his 10-year-old daughter, North West, who debuts a verse. While the music was indeed a focal point, West’s choice of attire drew the most attention on social media.

Several people who commented pointed out Kanye West’s ever-loyal fans were ready to defend anything he did—including making a mockery of something that has historically caused Black people so much pain. As one person wrote, “Kanye is at his listening party full of rapists and abusers after his full year of antisemitism and his fans want me to believe that him wearing a pointy hood is to convey a positive message.”

Another added, “People who love Kanye woke up today fully ready to defend the black KKK hood.” Others reminded people he perpetuated the same look in his “Black Skinheads (stylized as “BLKKK SKKKN HEAD”) video. Whatever the case for doing it in the wake of his antisemitic controversy remains to be explained, but the memes are plentiful. Check some of them out below.

EXCLUSIVE: Diddy Against Jane Doe’s Attempt To Remain Anonymous In Gang Rape Lawsuit

Diddy (real name Sean Combs) wants to unmask the latest woman who’s accused him and former Bad Boy Entertainment president Harve Pierre of sexually assaulting her. The pair and an unidentified third man are accused of gang-raping and trafficking the woman in 2003 at Diddy’s recording studio, Daddy’s House.

The woman claims she was just 17 years old when she met Pierre at a lounge in Michigan, where he supposedly forced her to have oral sex in a bathroom while he was smoking crack. Jane Doe says Pierre called Diddy and she spoke to him on the phone. Afterwards, he chartered a private jet and flew her to his studio in New York, where the sexual assault allegedly took place. 

So far, the woman has remained anonymous, but Diddy and Pierre have signaled that they want to reveal her identity according to information exclusively obtained by AllHipHop.

“On December 9, 2023, counsel for [Diddy and Harve Pierre] indicated that they do not consent to [Jane Doe’s] motion to proceed anonymously,” Jane Doe’s lawyer, Douglas H. Wigdor, explained, noting that he did disclose her identity to the pair’s counsel and that both Diddy and Harve Pierre already know the woman’s name. 

Jane Doe wants to proceed under the pseudonym due to Diddy’s popularity, out of fear for her own safety and to prevent the woman from suffering from any more trauma. 

“Because of the high-profile nature of the Defendants, compounded with the fact that [Jane Doe] was only seventeen years old at the time of the sexual assault alleged in the Complaint, she should be permitted to proceed under a pseudonym and pursue her claims with anonymity,” Wigdor added. “The media attention of this action would undoubtedly create a chilling effect on future plaintiffs in similar circumstances should Ms. Doe be forced to disclose her identity.

“[Jane Doe] has experienced significant trauma as a result of Defendants’ sexual assault and rape and would certainly experience significant harm if she is forced to reveal her identity to the public.”

As a result, Wigdor has filed a motion with the Hon. Jessica GL Clarke to allow Jane Doe to proceed anonymously, which is usually granted in high-profile cases like this one. 

Last week, the judge overseeing a separate sexual assault claim against Harve Pierre and Bad Boy Entertainment granted a different woman permission to proceed under the “Jane Doe” alias. The judge has yet to rule on the fourth alleged victim’s motion to proceed anonymously. 

Diddy has vehemently denied the sexual assault allegations made against him in recent weeks.

“Enough is enough. For the last couple of weeks, I have sat silently and watched people try to assassinate my character, destroy my reputation and my legacy. Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday,” Diddy wrote in an Instagram post. “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.”

On November 16, Diddy was sued by ex-girlfriend Casandra “Cassie” Ventura for alleged rape, sex trafficking and domestic violence. The pair reached a settlement less than 24 hours later.

In a statement, Ventura explained she “decided to resolve this matter amicably on terms that I have some level of control.”

Diddy has also been accused of drugging and raping Joi Dickerson-Neal in 1991, leaving her allegedly unable to “independently stand or walk.”  Additionally, an anonymous woman accused the musician and singer Aaron Hall of raping her and her friend in New York in the early 1990s. The Jane Doe claimed that a few days after she had allegedly been raped, Diddy showed up at her house. The suit stated, “He was irate and began assaulting and choking Jane Doe to the point that she passed out.”

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.”

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.

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.
