SIGNS: OnlyFans Has Paid Out Billions To Creators Since Its 2016 Inception

OnlyFans, the UK-based video streaming platform notorious for its adult content, has been pouring billions into the pockets of its creators.

Since its launch in 2016, the app has paid out a jaw-dropping $20 billion to over 4 million content creators, according to Chief Executive Officer Keily Blair, who spoke at Bloomberg’s Screentime conference in Los Angeles. The cash flow isn’t coming from advertisers—OnlyFans doesn’t accept advertising or track its customers—but from subscriptions, pay-per-view events, and tips. The platform’s 400 million users are free to spend big on their favorite creators, fueling a goldmine of personalized content.

Blair explained that over half of the company’s revenue comes from micro-transactions, a strategy that’s working wonders for the app. “P### is free on the internet,” Blair said. “I think the reason why people pay for OnlyFans is because they want to engage with those particular creators. It’s because of the ability to customize as well as to ask for specific content.” This level of interaction and customization has set OnlyFans apart from other social media platforms, which have struggled to make subscription models work.

In an attempt to broaden its appeal beyond adult content, OnlyFans has even started offering grants to musicians and other entertainers. The company promoted Blair to CEO in 2023 to further push its move into mainstream entertainment.

The platform’s lucrative model has made millionaires out of some of its top creators. High earners include viral star Daniel “Cash Me Outside” Bregoli and rapper Iggy Azalea, both of whom have capitalized on their massive followings. According to a recent report from TMZ, Bhad Bhabie has disclosed her staggering earnings from OnlyFans, surpassing an impressive $57 million since 2021. Sources confirm the authenticity of these earnings, with receipts backing up the claims.

2Pac’s Step-Brother Says Theory Diddy Was Involved In His Murder Is “High On The List”

2Pac‘s stepbrother and fellow Thug Life rapper, Mopreme Shakur, stopped by Piers Morgan Uncensored on Friday (October 11) to discuss Diddy’s possible involvement in the legendary rapper’s death. As previously reported, 2Pac’s family hired powerhouse attorney Alex Spiro to investigate the Bad Boy Records mogul’s potential connection to the 1996 shooting.

During their conversation, Shakur suggested he wouldn’t necessarily be surprised if it turned out Diddy did have something to do with 2Pac’s murder.

“Quite possibly—kind of looking that way,” Shakur said when asked if he thinks Diddy was tied to the killing. “Here we are 27 yeas later and the theory involving him is quite high on the list.”

Morgan recalled Diddy calling Mopreme Shakur in 2008 to deny any involvement in 2Pac’s death after the L.A. Times ran a story suggesting Diddy’s associates planned the infamous 1994 shooting at Quad Recording Studios in New York City that put 2Pac in the hospital. The Times retracted the article just weeks after being published after they determined their own reporting wasn’t credible.

2Pac was shot on September 7, 1996, in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas. He had just left a Mike Tyson boxing match at the MGM Grand when a white Cadillac pulled up alongside his vehicle. An unidentified gunman, believed to be Orlando Anderson, opened fire, striking 2Pac multiple times. He was rushed to the hospital and placed on life support but succumbed to his injuries six days later at the age of 25.

Anderson’s uncle, Duane “Keefe D” Davis, claimed numerous times he was in the car when the shooting occurred. Nearly 30 years after 2Pac’s murder, Davis was arrested for the shooting and is awaiting trial. As for Diddy, people have long suspected he was somehow involved considering his artist Biggie was beefing with 2Pac as the East Coast-West Coast rap rivalry heated up. Biggie suffered a similar fate less than a year later while visiting Los Angeles.

According to a detective that testified in his case, Keefe D claimed former Death Row CEO Suge Knight, who was driving the car that 2Pac was shot in, told people Diddy was responsible “if not directly, indirectly for the murder of his good friend.”

In July, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department told PEOPLE, “Sean Combs has never been considered a suspect in the Tupac Shakur homicide investigation.” Investigators also told TMZ, “Diddy was never a suspect in the 2Pac murder investigation, and that remains true today.”

Diddy was arrested on September 16 on three RICO charges: racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution. After being denied bail multiple times, he appeared at a status conference hearing on Thursday (October 10) at a Manhattan courthouse, where the judge decided to keep him detained. His trial has been set for May 5. He has pleaded not guilty.

Nelly Says He’s Reviving 21-Year-Old Applebottoms Brand Amid St. Lunatics Reunion

Nelly isn’t just bringing the St. Lunatics back into the spotlight.

On Friday (October 11), following the St. Lunatics reunion at the 50th anniversary American Music Awards, the “Air Force Ones” rapper officially announced he’s bringing back his iconic denim brand, Applebottom Jeans. Nelly took to Instagram and shared a nostalgic message with his followers teasing the return of the storied denim brand, breaking necks with the fruitful imagery marketing the product in the process.

“Don’t call it a comeback!” Nelly wrote in the caption. “Wanna see what I’ve been up to… Make sure you sign up for behind-the-scenes access and our First Big Kick Off!!!! @officialapplebottoms #applebottomjeans.”

In addition to the droves of fans that turned up in the comment section of the post, a number of brands, namely Ugg, threw their hat into the ring and seemingly expressed their desire for a possible brand partnership.

“You know what comes next,” Ugg’s official account wrote, referencing T-Pain and Flo Rida’s anthemic late 2000s era jam.

In 2008, T-Pain and Flo Rida dropped their mega-hit “Low,” famously mentioning “Apple Bottom jeans” in the lyrics, sending fans into a frenzy. While the song boosted the brand’s visibility, it also blurred the lines for some. Nelly’s Applebottoms was all about celebrating women’s curves, while the song became synonymous with club culture, dancing, and, well, boots with the fur.

“People always bring up ‘Low,’ but Applebottoms was around way before that song,” Nelly laughed in a previous interview.

Nelly first launched Applebottom Jeans back in 2003 when his music career was at its peak. Around the same time, he was riding high on the success of his sophomore album Nellyville, which featured chart-topping hits like “Hot in Herre” and “Dilemma” featuring Kelly Rowland. The brand quickly became a staple in Hip-Hop fashion, embodying Nelly’s flair for style and his love for celebrating the curves of women He didn’t do it alone, though.

Nelly collaborated with Yomi Martin, Ian Kelly, and Nick Loftis to bring Applebottoms to life, aiming to create a line that was both fashionable and inclusive. And it wasn’t long before the brand gained traction, attracting celebrity clientele like Kim Kardashian and his wife-to-be Ashanti, who sported the jeans in magazines and on red carpets, further solidifying Applebottom Jeans as a force in the fashion world.

Now, it looks like Nelly’s ready to reclaim the narrative and get Applebottoms back in the spotlight for the right reasons.

Pharrell Williams Adamant His Voice Sounds Like Famous Cartoon Character

Pharrell Williams finds humor in the unexpected comparison of his voice on “Beautiful,” the 2003 hit with Snoop Dogg, to a beloved cartoon character.

During an interview on CBS Sunday Morning, Pharrell confessed he’s not a fan of how he sounds on the track.

“I had a song called ‘Beautiful’ with Snoop. Girls heard me singing that. I heard [Disney character] Mickey Mouse. I swear to you, when you just get a moment and you just listen, you’ll never be able to unhear it. But that’s what I hear,” he said with a laugh.

Journalist Kelefa Sanneh chimed in with a playful question, “Sexy Mickey Mouse?”

The 51-year-old musician responded, “No not sexy, just Mickey Mouse. It was wild for me.”

As the conversation unfolded, Pharrell reflected on an earlier phase of his career following the success of songs like “Beautiful,” Nelly’s “Hot in Herre,” and Gwen Stefani’s “Hollaback Girl.”

He shared that at that time, he felt disengaged from his craft.

“I had moved away from being a student and things became formulaic, and that was troubling to my spirit,” he explained.

However, a creative renaissance came in 2013 when Pharrell scored big with “Happy” for the Despicable Me 2 soundtrack, along with high-profile collaborations on Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky” and Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines.”

He admitted, “I would have never written a song called ‘Happy.’ It was commissioned for me to do, and on top of that, I didn’t think I was gonna have anymore like hit records,” adding that the surprise success humbled him.

“The universe was like, well, not only are you wrong about that, but I’m gonna have three different commissions come from three different places, and these are gonna be the biggest records for you.”

Pharrell, who also delved into the world of fashion as a men’s designer for Louis Vuitton, emphasized his desire to spread joy through all his ventures.

“I always want to evoke a sense of joy ’cause I feel like there is a deficit of joy. If you enjoy it, nine times out of 10 somebody else is going to enjoy it. You can’t go wrong when your aim is to enjoy what you do,” he stated.

Kanye West’s Ex-Assistant Claims He Drugged & Assaulted Her At Diddy Studio Session

By: Kyle Eustice Updated Category: News

A former assistant of Kanye West is suing the rapper/producer for allegedly drugging and sexually assaulting her at a Diddy studio session.

Lauren Pisciotta alleges in her complaint, filed October 8 in Los Angeles Superior Court of California, that she was given a drink “laced with an unidentified drug” while she was working for West.

She says West ordered for the drink to be poured, but Diddy is still named in the suit for allegedly “co-hosting” the studio session.

Pisciotta said she felt “disoriented” and in “less control of her body and speech” after drinking the concoction per the complaint.

She says she woke up the following day with “immense shame” but couldn’t recall what had happened the night before.

Pisciotta sued West earlier this year for sexual harassment and wrongful termination but didn’t remember what had allegedly occurred until “much later.”

She claims West confessed to her that they “did kind of hook up a little one time,” a reference to the night in question.

West was married to Kim Kardashian at the time and she had allegedly been accusing West of having an affair with Pisciotta, leading to his confession.

The complaint states, “Still to that day, up until that conversation and revelations of true facts and actions taken that night, Plaintiff did not know or think she was sexually assaulted that night, as Plaintiff only thought she was roofied by a studio assistant, likely embarrassed herself and then took the blame.”

Pisciotta was reportedly terminated not long after. In the suit she filed in June, she claims she was never paid the $3 million in severance she was allegedly owed.

The woman also exposed some of West’s alleged texts, one of which supposedly read: “See my problem is I be wanting to f### but then after I f### I want a girl to tell me how hard they been f##### while I’m f###### them. Then I want her to cheat on me.”

She claims to have witnessed West pleasure himself next to her before passing out and that he got angry with her for shutting down advances to “date or have sex” with him.

West’s lawyers previously dismissed Pisciotta’s allegations as “baseless” and said she actually used her sexuality “to coerce employment and other material benefits.”

They say Pisciotta then attempted to blackmail West when “her advances were rejected.”

“Prior to her termination as an assistant, Ms. Pisciotta stole his cell phone in an attempt to destroy phone records that would contradict her claims, all of which have been preserved,” they wrote. “She was terminated for being unqualified, demanding unreasonable sums of money (including a $4 million annual salary) and numerous documented incidents of her lascivious, unhinged conduct.”

Flavor Flav celebrated four years of sobriety by providing free access to an AI therapy app called Sonia. The charismatic Public Enemy member announced he was covering subscription costs for anyone who signed up for Sonia on World Mental Health Day, Thursday (October 10).

“October is an important month for my mental health,” he explained. “Next week, I am 4 years sober from alcohol. And [October 10] is mental health awareness day. My mental health is an important part of my sobriety journey. I talk to a therapist. In fact, I talk to two.

“I gots a crazy schedule and travels, my manager recommended trying out Sonia – an AI therapist that has been there for me like Janet Jackson says – Any Time Any Place. I always like to be the first to do something revolutionary. This is something special that has the ability to help so many people. I reached out to the Sonia team to cover the cost of subscriptions for anyone who signs up [on October 10).”

Sonia offers users an “AI therapist” to communicate with through the app. Its founders claim they aren’t trying to replace human therapists.

“It is important to emphasize that we don’t consider human therapists, or any companies providing physical or virtual mental health care conducted by humans, as our competition,” co-founder Dustin Klebe told TechCrunch.

Fellow co-founder Lukas Wolf added, “We are building a solution for the millions of people who are struggling with their mental health but can’t (or don’t want to) access a human therapist.We aim to fill the gigantic gap between demand and supply.”

Flavor Flav paying for people’s Sonia subscriptions added to his philanthropic efforts in 2024. The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer famously sponsored the U.S. women’s water polo team to help ease their financial burdens and served as their “hype man” at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Bow Wow Says He & Jermaine Dupri Spoke About Diddy Potentially Facing Serious Jail Time

By: Devon Jefferson Updated Category: News

Bow Wow has broken his silence on the legal troubles Diddy is facing, and in doing so, has revealed that he and Jermaine Dupri had a conversation about the situation in private.

During a recent appearance on the More To The Story podcast with Rocsi Diaz, Bow Wow opened up about the mounting allegations surrounding Diddy, who faces charges of sex trafficking and racketeering after being indicted last month. While speaking about the current void in the industry due to his belief that younger, up-and-coming artists don’t have big homies, Bow Wow expressed his disbelief and sorrow over the developments that have come to light following Diddy’s arrest. Reflecting on the situation, Bow Wow highlighted the deep impact it’s had on him and the industry.

“It’s crazy for me,” Bow Wow shared. “I can’t, nah, I would’ve never thought it would — If it is the end, this would be the story of how it would end. It ain’t supposed to end like this.”

He continued, “For me, thinking on it, bro, supposed to be on a 250 foot yacht with his wife leg up, chilling. This how you ride it out.”

Despite longstanding rumors surrounding Diddy, Bow Wow admitted he never expected things to escalate to this point. He even stressed his belief that Diddy was the “gatekeeper” of the industry prior to his criminal case and explained how he feels there is something missing in his abscence.

“Nah, he’s like the gatekeeper to the game,” Bow Wow said. “To the point to where what weekend has passed, BET award weekend, like the past two, they just didn’t feel right. There was no motion, there was no parties. There was nowhere to go.”

Bow Wow went on to briefly speak on the specifics of the conversation he had with Jermaine Dupri, revealing that the pair couldn’t get over how Diddy could be as major of a figure as he is in the industry while such criminal activity was going on.

“How monumental and how important he was to the culture,” he said in part. “Because I said, Jermaine [Dupri], there’s no parties. Every year, dude [Diddy] had the [parties]. And you feel it. It’s like a hole. It’s like, ‘damn, we ain’t going.…he was everything. Hip hop, you know what I mean?”

He added, ” So for that to die out, it’s like you just would’ve never thought, and especially when you look at somebody as somebody, you study, somebody, you idolize somebody who you looked at like, yo, when it comes to hustle, when it comes to business and how to run your s##t, it’s like he was the guy that every young hustler looked up to and wanted to either be like or wanted to, ‘I’m going to pass this n###a.’

Bow Wow’s collaboration history with Diddy includes tracks like “Let’s Get Down,” where the two artists joined forces to create a classic club hit. Their professional relationship extended beyond music, with Diddy acting as a mentor and major influence on Bow Wow’s hustle in the entertainment industry.

While Bow Wow lamented the impact Diddy’s downfall could have on the culture and expressed sympathy for his children, the legal situation remains dire. Diddy, who was arrested and charged, is set to face trial on May 25, 2025. Authorities have accused him of orchestrating a sex trafficking ring involving young women across state lines, and the charges also allege financial and operational misconduct in his business dealings.

Jail Food Is Roughest Part Of Prison For Diddy

Sean “Diddy” Combs will remain behind bars until his May 2025 trial after he was denied bail again.

The 54-year-old rapper was denied bail for a second time as he faces charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, and coercing individuals into prostitution.

Following the judge’s ruling, Diddy was seen blowing kisses toward his family, who attended the hearing, before being escorted from the courtroom.

His lawyers discussed how he’s adjusting to life in jail outside of his most recent hearing on Thursday (October 10).

His attorney, Marc Agnifilo, shed light on what Combs finds the most challenging about his time in custody.

“I think the food’s probably the roughest part of it,” Agnifilo told reporters outside the courthouse.

Amid the stress of incarceration, Diddy appears to be keeping a level head, as evidenced by statements from another lawyer on his defense team, Anthony L. Ricco.

Ricco expressed cautious optimism about his client’s resilience, saying, “Sometimes, the more you push a person down, the stronger they get. Nobody’s OK with staying in jail.”

The star’s confinement is far from routine.

While waiting for his day in court, Diddy has reportedly spent time reflecting on his legal battle.

Agnifilo noted that the Hip-Hop mogul is eager to take the stand during his trial, slated for May 2025.

“I don’t know that I could keep him off the stand,” Agnifilo said in TMZ’s documentary “The Downfall of Diddy.”

“He is very eager to tell his story. These are the acts of an innocent man with nothing to hide. He looks forward to clearing his name in court,” Agnifilo added.

Ari Lennox Announces Plans To Permanently “Transition” Off Social Media Before Year End

Ari Lennox is attempting to start a new chapter in her life, and in order to do so, she feels as though she needs to walk away from social media.

On Friday (October 11), Lennox shared a lengthy message with her Instagram followers detailing her plans to erase her footprint from social media on December 18, the anniversary marking her two-years of her sobriety.

In the message she offered to her fans and supporters, Lennox likened her relationship to social media to that of an addiction and explained how she feels she won’t be able to “mature” while wrestling with the grips of it.

“Hey I’m working on a plan to transition off of social media for good,” Ari Lennox wrote in part.

“I don’t believe I’ll ever mature and be happy as long as i have it. So my last day of socials will be December 18th, my 2 year sobriety anniversary. I will be deleting my FB, IG and TikTok permanently.”

She continued, “The fear of losing brand deals, music sales, n###as and betches will no longer keep me here.”

“To all of my beautiful fans, I’m just not happy nor thriving here. I have a very toxic and codependent relationship with these apps. My happiness is worth more to me, than using these platforms to promote.”

Despite the usefulness of social media when it comes to promoting music and her personal brand, Lennox said she vows to think outside of the box and find ways to spread her message without compromising her mental health.

“I truly believe I can get creative with marketing elsewhere,” she said. “I’m so exhausted with my addiction to the internet and gossip and attention and validation and yearning to be in control and over sharing. I just want to be free and complete.”

A post shared by AllHipHop (@allhiphopcom)

Though she’s completely cutting social media out of her life, Lennox explained that she will still continue to make a commitment to sharing content on platforms more geared toward that specifically, rather than social interaction.

“I would like to offer other spaces where you can find me and that’s YouTube.com/arilennox and Arilennox.com and on the singing stage or outside,” she wrote.

“I ain’t gone front like this has been cute, it hasn’t. I love yall so much. Please subscribe to my mailing list on my website to remain updated on my 2025 album and tour or don’t (My single Smoke drops 10/18 ) also my bad if my drama causes any distractions or insensitivity as I’m aware of the constant horror going on in the world. I just need to give my sweeties a heads up. I’ll be good and I’m excited for this journey. I’m an extreme person. It will forever be all or nothing with me. – Ari/Courtney”

Lennox’s announcement follows a wave of seemingly erratic behavior that the Dreamville vocalist has exhibited in the past few months on her social media accounts. In addition to revealing her home was burglarized during a live stream, Lennox also recently shared her experience experimenting with same-sex dating and told her followers she was willing to do something strange to help gain cash flow to pay off her debt to the IRS.

Eminem’s Daughter Hailie Jade Reveals Baby’s Gender

Eminem’s daughter Hailie Jade Mathers revealed that she and her husband, Evan McClintock, are expecting a baby boy.

The announcement came during an episode of her “Just a Little Shady” show, where the couple unveiled the gender by popping a balloon filled with blue confetti.

“It’s a boy!” the two cheered as moments of excitement played out for listeners.

Mathers added that McClintock was thrilled by the news, eagerly anticipating sharing his hobbies with their future son.

“Evan was like, ‘They’re going to hunt with me. They’re going to go golfing with me.’ I was like, ‘OK, well, they’re still going to Target with me,'” she told her audience.

The moment marks another significant milestone for the pair, who tied the knot in Battle Creek, Michigan, earlier this year after a lengthy engagement.

The couple first began dating back in 2016 after meeting at Michigan State University.

Interest in Mathers’ pregnancy grew in recent weeks when she subtly revealed the news in Eminem’s music video for “Temporary.”

In a playful scene shared on social media, she gifted the iconic Hip-Hop artist a Detroit Lions jersey with the word “Grandpa” emblazoned on the back.

Hints about Mathers’ pregnancy timeline were further dropped when she disclosed that she was already expecting when she walked down the aisle in May.

She shared a humorous story of her best friend stepping in to drink all the alcohol at her wedding while keeping her growing baby a well-kept secret until now.

Eminem has often referenced his daughter in his music and has yet to publicly comment on becoming a grandfather.

Rick Ross’ ex-girlfriend Cristina Mackey seems to believe she and Rozay were brought together through an act of divine intervention.

During a recent Instagram Live session, Rick Ross’ former flame opened up about the spiritual guidance she says led her into the rapper’s arms. Mackey passionately revealed that she felt God had a divine plan for her, using her brief romance with Ross as a means to an end.

“I just feel like God was like, ‘I need you to date this person real quick so I can get you where you need to go’,” Cristina Mackey shared with her followers viewing the live.

As Mackey continued to emphasize that her relationship with Ross was more than just a fling, she went on to explain that part of the higher purpose in her dating the Maybach Music boss was bring her to the city of Miami.

“What made you stay in Miami? Have you been to Miami? This place is incredible to me,” she gushed. She continued, rifling off about how she felt Miami was a pivotal location for her spiritual and personal growth even noted her mother’s approval

“’You need to be in this city,'” Mackey said.

“My mom said the same thing too. She was like, ‘God brought you here for me. Be closer to me.”

While Mackey’s comments were lighthearted at times, she stood by her belief that God had orchestrated their union as a necessary step for her journey.

“He [God] did not bring you here and be in a relationship with that man [Rick Ross],” Mackey said. “But if that was the passage or what do you call it? The route that God chose.”

Mackey and Ross’ whirlwind romance was short-lived, yet impactful. The two were spotted together several times in Miami before eventually parting ways after only six months of dating. Though they’ve since moved on, Mackey has spoken about Ross on several different occasions on her social media channels. Earlier this summer she turned up on trolls body-shaming Rozay, saying she could wrap both arms around him and that men “could never” have a chance with her.

DJ Mustard is eagerly anticipating the 2025 Super Bowl and believes he’ll get emotional if halftime Show headliner Kendrick Lamar performs “Not Like Us.” 

During a recent interview, the West Coast producer weighed in on the Big Game performance. While Mustard would love to join Lamar onstage should he perform the song, he would be just as content to be present at the Superdome in New Orleans and might even tear up. 

“I definitely can’t wait to watch the Super Bowl, man. Can’t wait,” Mustard told Billboard. “This year’s going to be pretty special. I might shed a tear [if he performs ‘Not Like Us.’] I am grateful for him to perform it on stage. If he performs it on stage by himsel, doesn’t call me, I wouldn’t give a s###. Just perform it.” 

He continued, “Don’t get me wrong – call me. If you want me, I’ll slide. But I’ll be there regardless going crazy, acting like I’m on stage. If I’m in a box, they might show me on TV from how crazy [I’ll be going]. I might stand on a chair. They might show me on the TV like, ‘He’s going berserk!’”

Mustard previously revealed that the track, his first collab with Lamar, was years in the making, with the former sending the latter five exclusive beats a day before the beef.  

Despite producing the beat, Mustard heard the Drake diss for the first time, along with everybody else when K. Dot released it. 

“[When ‘Not Like Us’ dropped], I’m on my way to a baby shower,” he explained in June. “We on the freeway…I get a text saying, ‘[Kendrick] dropped again,’ then I get another text like, ‘Mustard on the beat ho’ and I’m like, ‘What the f### did I miss?’ And that’s how I heard the song on the 405 freeway, driving and I start spazzing…listening to it over and over. I couldn’t believe it.” 

In addition to scoring a No.1 debut, “Not Like Us” could be in line to win a Grammy.  

Drake Allegedly Told Chromazz To Stop Saying “N-Word” Before Charleston White Incident

By: Devon Jefferson Updated Category: Rumors

Even though Kendrick Lamar said he doesn’t want to hear Drake say n###a anymore, he might want to thank Drizzy for attempting to stop a well-known Latino OnlyFans creator from saying it in years past.

In case you missed it, Toronto-based OF star Chromazz has found herself at the center of a heated controversy after Charleston White called her out during a fiery livestream with Adin Ross for her repeated use of the N-word.

In response, Chromazz took to social media to defend herself, unleashing a rant that’s already causing waves online.

https://twitter.com/FearedBuck/status/1843847871986315707

In a video she shared on her personal social media profiles, Chromazz hit back at the wave of people bashing her over her use of the word, showing no remorse in the process and claiming she doesn’t need a pass to use the term.

“I’ve seen a lot of females commenting saying men just give Chromazz the N-word pass because she’s pretty, or because she’s bad as f##k,” Chromazz said in part.

“B####, do you think I need a pass to say, N###a? Do you think I need a pass to speak the way I’ve been speaking my entire f###ing life?”

As she continued to dismiss critics who’ve condemned her choice to use the word, Chromazz attempted to shame members of the Black community for their anger and obsession over the situation.

“When somebody tries to say, ‘Oh, don’t say n###a. You can’t say, n###a, you’re not Black,’ it’s like, do you live for that word, n###a?” she said. “Is that all you f####ing live for? Why do you care so much. When I say n###a, I don’t mean Black person. I mean man, or my friends.”

The controversy isn’t new for Chromazz, who previously addressed her use of the N-word during an interview with No Jumper back in 2020. At the time, she revealed that Drake had taken her on a date and asked her to stop using the term. Despite this, Chromazz has remained adamant about her stance and defended herself once again.

“I’m just a product of my environment,” she said. “This is how I’ve been speaking my entire f###ing life.”

In another portion of the video, she also fired back at Charleston White and attempted to flip the controversy on him, criticizing him for his statements about the Black community.

“Charleston moves like he doesn’t like his own people,” she said. “I’m proud of who I am. He’s saying, ‘Oh, n###a’s nappy hair, n###a’s uneducated.’ What the f##k? Go check your n###a, my n###a. What the f##k is going on?

Staying true to her unfiltered brand, Chromazz concluded, “I don’t speak to please or offend.”

“You know what I mean? So I’m not going to walk on eggshells and pretend like I don’t say n###a. I’m a real a## b###h. So you guys should be happy I keep it real.”

Somebody get Drake on the phone and see if maybe he’ll scoop shorty up for another date and possibly talk some sense into her.

R. Kelly Denies Sexually Abusing His Daughter After Documentary Bombshell

R. Kelly’s daughter Buku Abi accused him of sexually abusing her in a documentary titled R. Kelly’s Karma: A Daughter’s Journey. Kelly’s attorney Jennifer Bonjean said he “vehemently denies these allegations” in response to the doc, which premiered on Friday (October 11).

“His ex-wife made the same allegation years ago, and it was investigated by the Illinois Department of Children & Family Services and was unfounded,” Kelly’s lawyer said. “And the ‘filmmakers,’ whoever they are, did not reach out to Mr. Kelly or his team to even allow him to deny these hurtful claims.”

TVEI released R. Kelly’s Karma: A Daughter’s Journey as a two-part documentary. Abi, who was born Joann Kelly, said her father molested her when she was 8 or 9 years old.

“I just remember waking up to him touching me,” she tearfully said. “And I didn’t know what to do. So, I just kind of laid there and I pretended to be asleep.”

Abi said she was “too scared to tell anybody” after it happened. She eventually told her mother about the incident in 2009 when she was 10 years old.

“After I told my mom, I didn’t go over [to Kelly’s home] anymore,” Abi said. “My brother and sister, we didn’t go over there anymore. And even up until now, I struggle with it a lot.”

Abi and her mother Drea Kelly tried to file a police report. Abi identified herself as Jane Doe in the complaint.

“They couldn’t prosecute him because I waited too long,” she explained in the documentary. “So, at that point in my life, I felt like I said something for nothing.”

Kelly was convicted of child pornography, child enticement, racketeering and sex trafficking charges in 2021 and 2022. He was sentenced to more than 30 years in prison. The Supreme Court declined to hear his appeal on Monday (October 7).

Interscope Geffen A&M Records has launched a new initiative with Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to provide support to these institutions. The first phase of the initiative will bring Interscope Records to three HBCU campuses—Howard University, Tennessee State University and Texas Southern University—during Homecoming Week.

Immersive student-led pop-ups on each campus will allow students to listen to the new vinyl album Homecoming SZN Compilation Vol. 1 and give them the opportunity to win concert tickets and capture memories at the photo booth. As part of the capsule collections, merchandise will be available for purchase, including crewnecks and t-shirts. Black multidisciplinary designer Laci Jordan created original vinyl artwork for each school and designed the accompanying merchandise.

The vinyl-only Homecoming SZN Compilation Vol. 1 is a collection of Interscope catalog songs inspired by HBCU Homecoming and includes two brand new tracks from rising Interscope artists. Custom artwork has been created for each of the three universities and for the consumer edition, which will be available here.

“Historically Black Colleges and Universities have produced some of the most prominent figures in our country’s history,” Interscope Geffen A&M Records EVP, Head of Marketing Laura Carter said. “But HBCU’s contributions to culture – especially music – have been especially profound. This is one of the many reasons why this compilation project is so important to the artists and executives at Interscope Geffen A&M Records. We want to deepen our ties with HBCUs nationwide and are excited to embark on this year-long journey.”

Interscope will make a $3 donation for every item sold to the related university. In addition, Interscope/UMG will develop HBCU-specific scholarship offerings for prospective interns and mentors and connect HBCU undergrads with HBCU alumni employees for fellowships.

“We are excited to showcase this partnership that reflects our commitment to student success and community engagement,” Texas Southern University’s Associate Vice President for Development and Alumni Engagement Charlie Coleman III said. “The contributions from Interscope Records empower our students to pursue their dreams. Together, we’re cultivating an environment where creativity, entrepreneurship, and tradition flourish as we celebrate Texas Southern University’s 97 years of rich legacy.”

Cardi B’s next collab just might be locked and loaded, thanks to Gucci Mane’s wife Keyshia Ka’Oir.

Jamaican dancehall icon Vybz Kartel wasn’t shy about staking his claim for who he wants to work with during his recent exclusive interview with Ka’Oir. And of the stars he’s got his sights set on, it appears the rapper highest on his list is none other than Cardi B. While speaking the wife of the Atlanta rap legend Gucci Mane, Kartel made it clear that Cardi is his number one of when it comes to his short wish list for American collaborations.

“Definitely Drake and definitely Cardi B,” he stated, emphasizing his interest in linking up with the Bronx rapper. Ka’Oir playfully confirmed Cardi’s admiration for Kartel, saying, “Mrs. Cardi, she love you. I know.”

Kartel responded with his signature style, “Yeah mon. Cardi. I’m a G mon. Yeah mon. Big up Cardi mon. One Bacardi, ya know?” Kartel’s excitement was palpable as he shouted out Cardi’s fanbase, declaring, “Bardi gang mon out mon. It’s in the one Bronx.”

Cardi B wasted no time responding to the shoutout, taking to Instagram Live to share her enthusiasm with, “I heard Vybz Kartel want to do a song with me. You need to cook up the best muthaf##king song for us. You got to cook it up, that m############ song.”

For fans speculating how serious both of the artists may be when it comes to making the record happen, Cardi appeared to hint that she’s ready to put in work, saying, “I got to do so much,” signaling her team to help lock-in with her and commit to making this collaboration happen.

Kartel’s interest in collaborating with major American artists comes just as he’s adjusting to life outside of prison. Jamaican dancehall star Vybz Kartel and his co-accused were released from prison on Wednesday (July 31) after serving 13 years behind bars. According to the Jamaica Observer, the Court of Appeal ruled against retrying the men for the murder of Clive “Lizard” Williams, resulting in their release.

The court stated, “We conclude that the interest of justice does not require a new trial to be ordered.” It added there was sufficient evidence to suggest Kartel wouldn’t be able to complete a potentially longer sentence if there were to be a retrial, citing the “psychological and financial effects that it would have on the appellants.”

Kartel’s defense also made note of the severe lockdown conditions he’s been in since 2011, describing his holding as a brick cell with no air circulation, no water and a bucket for a toilet.

Charleston White was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon and cruelty to non-livestock animals in Texas on Thursday (October 10). Tarrant County records note the cruelty charge was for killing, poisoning or causing serious bodily injury to an animal without the owner’s consent.”

White remains in custody at the Lon Evans Corrections Center in Fort Worth. Bond amounts weren’t listed for his charges.

The internet provocateur was previously busted for the same charges in 2023. White’s return to jail proved to be a bit ironic as he routinely antagonized rappers, claiming he would get them put behind bars.

Earlier this year, White declared he would get Boosie Badazz thrown in jail for threatening a promoter. White said Boose intimidated a promoter to block the controversial influencer from appearing at a show in the rapper’s hometown of Baton Rouge.

“I’m waiting for the FBI to send me the right kinda number, n####, ‘cause I’m finna make a report on your m############ ass,” White said. “The man called your name specifically. The promoter specifically said your m############ name, Lil Boosie. He implemented you and implicated you. B#### ass n####, you finna go back to jail. You gon’ be on yo knees. Them knees finna be bleeding again, diabetic freak.”

White also beefed with Tia Kemp, a polarizing social media personality and the mother of Rick Ross’ eldest son.

“[She] is a horrible Black mother,” White declared. “Her public words towards her sons father, affect the child! This is one of the main reasons I chose not to have a child with a Black woman! She’s emasculating her male son by publicly shaming the father of her son! She’s a disgrace as a Black mother.”

Kemp said White would regret speaking about her. The two dragged their kids into the online mess, violating Instagram’s community guidelines on bullying and harassment.

GloRilla dropped her debut album Glorious on Friday (October 11). Fans celebrated the project’s release and speculated she dissed former City Girls member JT on the song “Whatchu Kno About Me.”

“Bad b####, you know I’m thick as Coachella/You won’t never catch me slipping, I ain’t no f###### Cinderella, stupid b####,” GloRilla rapped.

The lyrics were believed to be a shot at JT since her first solo mixtape was titled City Cinderella. Earlier this year, GloRilla and JT clashed on social media. JT claimed GloRilla never shut down a rumor about the CMG rapper slapping the ex-City Girl at an awards show.

“I been said she didn’t! She the one went radio silent!” JT wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter). “Played into, released a song about slapping rap b###### now it’s female unity?? CORNY!!!!!”

GloRilla referenced the rumor on the song “Aite,” which appeared on her 2024 mixtape Ehhthang Ehhthang.

“Me and JT ain’t the best of friends but we ain’t beefing,” she rapped.

JT accused GloRilla of being “messy and phony.” GloRilla defended herself, saying she was trying to clear the air on “Aite.” The attacks became more personal as the two women argued online.

“Hoe shut yo dumb ass up & fix dem uglass wigs I said it ain’t no beef ho you da one with da secret animosity,” GloRilla wrote.

JT fired back, “B#### your UGLY NO sex appeal got dragged for trying to be seductive at the awards crying to your label cause you was tired of crump dancing! You are a Glock toating pit pull that need to stay in her G fazos your not a Cinderella hell your not even a step sister, b####!”

EXCLUSIVE: Diddy’s Motion For Immediate Release Denied, Must Wait On Appeals Court

Diddy hasn’t given up on getting out of jail before his sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy case goes to trial. His bid for immediate release was denied, but a three-judge panel will consider his motion for bail.

“The motion for bail is referred to a three-judge panel,” an October 11 filing noted. “The request for immediate release pending decision on the bail motion by a three-judge panel is denied. The motion to seal is granted.”

Diddy, whose real name is Sean Combs, was ordered to stay in jail on Thursday (October 10). The Bad Boy Records founder proposed a $50 million bond with GPS monitoring and visitor restrictions. Judges deemed him to be a flight risk and threat to witnesses.

“In light of the proposed conditions, the actions Mr. Combs had already taken regarding the investigation, and Mr. Combs’ lifetime commitment to live up to his obligations concerning every challenge he has ever faced, he should be released to fight this case in court and prove his innocence,” his lawyers argued. “Sean Combs has never evaded, avoided, eluded or run from a challenge in his life. He will not start now. As he has handled every hardship, he will meet this case head-on, he will work hard to defend himself, and he will prevail.”

Diddy was indicted for sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution in September. He pleaded not guilty to the charges.

“For decades, Sean Combs … abused, threatened and coerced women and others around him to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation and conceal his conduct,” Diddy’s indictment alleged. “To do so, Combs relied on the employees, resources and influence of the multi-faceted business empire that he led and controlled – creating a criminal enterprise whose members and associates engaged in, and attempted to engage in, among other crimes, sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery and obstruction of justice.”

Diddy’s trial is scheduled to begin in May 2025. He remains in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.

The Hip-Hop mogul faces up to life in prison if convicted. His sex trafficking charge carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years behind bars.

Snoop Dogg Hints At “Final Big Stadium Tour” Following “Missionary” Album

Snoop Dogg just teased fans with a major announcement ahead of his upcoming Dr-Dre-produced Missionary album, revealing he’s likely to hit the road for one “final” stadium tour and teasing some unexpected features on the project.  

The multihyphenate rapper discussed his album, among other projects during a recent appearance at Bloomberg Screentime conference. The host questioned why he hasn’t done a big stadium tour, considering how lucrative they’ve been for some of his peers.  

“When it comes to big tours like that, you got to have a record,” Snoop Dogg explained. “Yeah, I’m able to go on tour just because of the catalog that I have. But this new record Missionary is going to put me in a position to probably have that final big stadium tour.” 

Snoop Dogg Reveals “Exciting” “Missionary” Features

Snoop then teased his “exciting” “big name” features, revealing that Rock legend Sting and country music star Jelly Roll will appear on Missionary.  

“I don’t know if I can say right now,” he admitted before letting the cat out of the bag. “I got a feature from Jelly Roll and Sting.” 

He also shared that his Sting collab is “so good,” and was happy that meeting him was all he hoped it would be.  

“We hung out and we chilled,” Snoop recalled. “Like a child that’s infatuated with somebody as a singer, and you get a chance to meet them and they give you everything you expected. That’s what happens with me all the time. I meet people I’ve always wanted to meet and they’re everything I wanted them to be.”  

In other Snoop Dogg news, a judge officially cleared the Death Row Records boss’s 1993 murder charge earlier this year. The judge ruled back in February, although the news was only reported this week.  

Snoop was acquitted of the charges at a 1996 trial and the recent decision means the record is hidden from the public and won’t appear in official background checks.  

Missionary has no official release date but is expected in November.
