Ice Spice Shuts Down Ozempic Rumors, Explains Weight Loss 

Ice Spice has had enough of the rumors that Ozempic is responsible for her new look after facing criticism for losing weight. 

Fans have scrutinized the “Munch” hitmaker’s body, pointing out she’s lost weight recently. Many accused her of taking the popular diabetes drug Ozempic to shed the pounds.  

However, Ice Spice is tired of the discussion around her physique and decided to set the record straight about Ozempic. On Monday evening (August 19), Ice Spice hopped on Twitter (X) Spaces to set the record straight. 

“I actually came on here to talk about that real quick,” she began. “Cuz I was like, b####, I wish y’all never learned the word Ozempic. That’s one thing I wish. Oh my God! Like what even is Ozempic? What the f### is that? Genuinely, what is that?” 

Ice Spice then revealed she’s been working out and eating healthily amid her grueling Y2K World Tour schedule. 

“You lazy ass b###### never heard of a gym?” she questioned. “It’s called eating healthy. It’s called being on tour. Like what the hell. Maybe if I was sitting at home all day it’d be easier to stay big.” 

Nonetheless, Ice Spice admitted that she was feeling under the weather and in need of “a little tea break” after recently smoking a giant blunt

“But I am a little sick, I’m not gone to lie. Can you hear it?” she asked. “Yeah that big ass blunt did my throat foul.” 

Hillary Clinton Rips Donald Trump Amid “Lock Him Up” Chants During DNC 

Hillary Clinton delivered a powerful speech in support of Kamala Harris at the Democratic National Convention on Monday (August 19), praising the vice president and slamming Donald Trump. 

Clinton addressed her former political rival and his attacks on Harris.  

“It is no surprise that he is lying about Kamala’s record, he is mocking her name and her laugh,” she said. “Sounds familiar? But we have him on the run now.” 

She also drew a stark contrast between Trump’s record as a convicted felon and Harris’s as a former prosecutor. 

“As a prosecutor, Kamala locked up murders and drug traffickers,” she stated. “Donald Trump fell asleep at his own trial.” The crowd erupted into chants of “Lock him up! Lock him up,” a throwback to Trump supporters taunting Hillary Clinton during the 2016 Presidential campaign.  

Kamala Harris made a surprise appearance on the first night of the DNC, emerging to Beyoncé’s “Freedom.” 

New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez also delivered a rousing speech in Chicago. She bashed Trump, branding him a “two-bit union buster” who would “sell this country for a dollar.” 

Ocasio-Cortez also addressed the war in Gaza, assuring that Kamala Harris “is working tirelessly to secure a ceasefire in Gaza and bringing hostages home.” 

Meanwhile, Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett slammed “career criminal” Donald Trump in a moving speech. She also contrasted his record with Harris’s.

“One candidate worked at McDonald’s, while she was in college at an HBCU,” Crockett said. “The other was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and helped his daddy in the family business: Housing discrimination.

“She became a career prosecutor, while he became a career criminal, with 34 felonies, two impeachments and one p### star to prove it. Kamala Harris has a résumé. Donald Trump has a rap sheet.”  

Crockett also shared how “the most powerful woman in the world wiped my tears and listened,” shortly after she was elected to Congress. 

Elsewhere during her speech, Crockett injected some humor with a nod to her viral “bleach blonde, bad built, butch body” retort to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. 

“The question before us is, will a vindictive, vile villain violate voters’ vision for a better American or not?” Crockett asked as the crowd burst into laughter. “I hear alliteration is back in style.”

Killer Mike Praises Travis Scott But Scolds Rapper’s Fanbase: “They Don’t Like Mike Now”

Killer Mike praised Travis Scott while reflecting on the differences in their music styles amid speculation of tension brewing between them. The 2024 Grammys stirred up some beef after Killer Mike snagged a Grammy and Travis Scott fans were hotter than a fresh jalapeño.

They cried foul, saying Mike didn’t deserve the award, and have since accused Mike of dissing Scott on his Songs for Sinners & Saints album track “STILL TALK’N THAT SH#T.”

Despite rumors of potential beef between the two artists, Killer Mike recently opened up in an interview with Complex about his respect for Travis Scott. While Mike admitted that he wouldn’t think anyone deserves an award over him, he made it clear that he holds a “deep” sense of regard for Travis as an artist.

“An artist I deeply have reverence for…Travis Scott’s amazing,” Mike said, acknowledging the younger rapper’s talent. “I’m never going to think anybody deserves anything in front of me, especially when I put in my vest. But a lot of his fans, they don’t like Mike now, and I have to accept that.”

Killer Mike highlighted the difference in the types of impact his music makes versus Scott’s, emphasizing how he speaks to a different kind of emotional depth.

“That’s fine, but there’s going to come a time in their life that someone that they cared for deeply dies,” he said. “The question is, what song you going to pivot to?…That’s what my music does. It’s there for you.”

Killer Mike then remarked on how his music connects with the struggles of everyday life. Even though he claimed he listens to Scott himself, seemingly as a safeguard, he pretty much outlined all of the situations in which his music applies where his Texas rap counterpart’s music doesn’t.

“I listened to Travis, I jammed,” he said. “But man, does the record hit you when child support on your Black ass for the mistakes you’ve made when you facing jail, your suspended license. That’s what my music does.”

He concluded by pointing out that his music takes care of “the whole human being” and provides a sense of comfort during difficult times. And even as rumors swirl, the Atlanta-bred MC made it clear that he’s more focused on creating music that resonates with real-life experiences than worrying about criticism.

“No matter how good you do, somebody going to be talking s##t,” he said. “So my thing is, if you want my platform, take your bougie Black ass and get the practicing and your bars, muthafucka. I have something for the whole human experience.”

Desperate Donald Trump Falsely Claims Taylor Swift Endorsed Him

Donald Trump falsely claimed Sunday that Taylor Swift has endorsed him for the 2024 presidential election, initiating a swirl of online miscommunication among the singer’s fans.

On Truth Social, the ex-president posted a collection of manipulated images showing women in “Swifties for Trump” T-shirts, insinuating support from the pop sensation and her sizable following.

The pictures appeared to be artificially generated, pulled from various accounts on X.

One such image depicted Swift dressed as Uncle Sam with a caption reading, “Taylor wants you to vote for Donald Trump.”

Another post from Trump included a screenshot of a satirical news article, misleadingly purporting that Swift fans had defected to the Trump camp after her Eras tour performances in Vienna were canceled due to a thwarted terrorist plot.

Trump captioned the post with, “I accept!”

Swift hasn’t addressed Trump’s claims or provided an endorsement for any 2024 presidential candidate.

However, she actively supported Joe Biden and Kamala Harris during the 2020 election.

In May 2020, she criticized Trump’s response to protests, writing on X, “After stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism your entire presidency, you have the nerve to feign moral superiority before threatening violence? ‘When the looting starts the shooting starts’??? We will vote you out in November. @realdonaldtrump .”

That year marked the first time Swift publicly endorsed a presidential candidate, signaling her increasing involvement in political discourse.

Trump’s baseless assertions about Swift illustrate the tensions and misinformation characterizing the modern political landscape.

His provocative post culminates in a broader discussion about the impact of AI-generated content and the responsibilities of public figures to prevent the spread of false information.

Dame Dash Offers Chain With $10M Roc-A-Fella Share Purchase After JAY-Z Devaluing Claims

Dame Dash is making a bold offer to sell his one-third share of Roc-A-Fella Records and the rights to JAY-Z’s iconic debut album, Reasonable Doubt.

Taking to Instagram, Dash shared details about the sale, revealing that he’s received a “lot of calls” and “very healthy offers” for his stake in the legendary label.

“As we all know, one-third of Roc-A-Fella Inc, which owns Reasonable Doubt, is for sale,” Dame Dash began. “I’ve gotten a lot of calls, a lot of offers. I don’t know if people are stunting or not. We’ll see who shows up, but I definitely got some very healthy offers and I appreciate those.”

Dash appeared to allude to his previous claims that JAY-Z was attempting to devalue the price of the shares while emphasizing the asking price. However, it appears as though the Hip-Hop mogul is attempting to set an eight-figure bidding baseline for the assets. Even still, Dash felt the need to sweeten the deal and has offered an original Roc-A-Fella chain should the bid reach his preferred price range.

“If someone’s trying to hate on the price or trying to devalue it, it would be because they want to buy it like a first right of refusal,” he said. “Anything over 10 million, I’m going to sweeten the pot. You get an original Roc-A-Fella chain from off my neck.”

He pointed out that he was the only one who handed out official Roc-A-Fella chains during the label’s heyday, further upping the ante on the exclusivity of the combination of the shares and the jewelry.

“If I don’t give you the chain, it’s not a legit Roc-A-Fella chain,” he said. “You get one of these. This is legit. This is the old school one from off my neck.”

Dame Dash wrapped up his announcement by encouraging serious buyers to come prepared.

“If you’re going to call, please have the intention of spending some real money and actually completing the transaction,” he said. “You’ll have to battle with homeboy on the first right of refusal.”

The sale comes as the latest move in Dash’s ongoing saga with Roc-A-Fella Records, which he co-founded with JAY-Z and Kareem “Biggs” Burke in the mid-’90s. Despite the fact the trio are credited with launching one of the most successful independent labels in Hip-Hop history, Dash recently accused HOV of a possible covert attempt to diminish the value of the shares in the aftermath of the label’s demise.

“But like I said, I don’t know why n##### is making announcement trying to devalue the muthafuckin masters,” Dash said in a video. “Well I do know why. Cuz certain n##### got first right of refusal.”

Westside Gunn Walks Back Retirement Claims: “Ready To Get Back On My WSG S###”

Westside Gunn has been busy in the studio despite saying he was done making studio albums a year ago. The Griselda Records founder disclosed progress on his new album Flygod Is An Awesome God 3 and revealed the creation of a second project on Sunday (August 18).

“STILL PRAYING!!!!!!!!!” he wrote on Instagram. “I came here to mix and master my album FLYGOD IS AN AWESOME GOD 3 and was waiting for my files, so I had played some beats and caught a vibe told him load it and made a joint, then made another joint and then made another joint and now 24hrs later i made a new project. I told y’all I was thinking about dropping a project even before the album, I been doing so much wrestling and Fashion im ready to get back on my WSG S###!!!!!!”

Westside Gunn teased retirement a few times in recent years. He previously claimed 2023’s And Then You Pray For Me would be his last studio album but left the door open for smaller-scale projects.

“[This is] going to be the last album where I take the time to say ‘this is an album,’” he told Rolling Stone. “When I was doing the Hitler Wears Hermes series, I was doing all them projects like mixtapes. I was recording the whole s### in two, three days. I’m not saying I won’t come with a five-song EP with Madlib or I won’t do a seven-song EP with Alchemist or I won’t rap. I’ll do all of that, but making a studio album, I’m done with all that. It’s back to dumping until I don’t want to dump no more.”

Westside Gunn released the first entry in his Flygod Is An Awesome God series in 2019. He dropped the sequel in 2020. No release date has been announced for the third album.

Sexyy Red Horrifies Fans With Explicit Names For Her Lip Gloss

Sexyy Red disgusted fans with the rollout of her Northside Princess brand’s lip gloss on Monday (August 19). The polarizing rapper unveiled off-putting names for her lip gloss colors, including “Gonorrhea” and “Yellow Discharge.”

“BO$$ LADY SPEAKIN,” she wrote on Instagram. “New and improved @sexyyred_products is back better den eva!! introducing NORTHSIDE PRINCESS the brand @getnorthside.

Sexyy Red became a trending topic on X (formerly known as Twitter) due to the strong reactions to her lip gloss names. Several users wished ill on her while others were shocked by her audacity.

The lip gloss added to Sexyy Red’s controversial status, which has seen fans call her an “industry plant” and negative influence. The St. Louis native has managed to stay in the spotlight despite widespread criticism. Her latest single “Get It Sexyy” became her highest-charting solo song, peaking at No. 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 in April. She credited the song with helping her overcome postpartum depression.

“I was goin thru a lot just had my baby felt depressed and was goin thru postpartum,” she wrote on social media. “My team in Miami would leave me in the studio to write songs & I would just b in there crying thinkin about life… I finally said send me back to St. Louis so I can b around the ones I love and get back to me!

Meek Mill Rehashes Nipsey Hussle & PnB Rock Deaths In Reaction To Probation Officer Interview

Meek Mill is once again opening up about the alleged harassment he faced during his time on probation, this time bringing the legacies of late rappers Nipsey Hussle and PnB Rock along for the discourse, which is reigniting public scrutiny over his legal ordeal.

The Philadelphia rapper, who was on probation for over a decade, recently took to Twitter to respond to a viral TikTok interview featuring a former Philly probation officer, sharing personal details of his experience.

In the brief one video, which runs less than two minutes, the ex-probation officer says Meek never failed a drug test, but was constantly subjected to meetings and screenings a part of a pattern of harassment.

The officer claimed his colleagues were “obsessed” with Meek, in addition to alleging one of Drake’s former video girl mistresses was receiving preferential treatment over the Dreamchasers rapper, who claims he was subjected to weekly meetings at the height of his career.

“If we can get y’all to find all the other stories how I used to be low and normal person on probation doing well ’til Brinkley ‘mind meek tangle’ started with me,” Meek wrote in a tweet in response to the video. “Even the P.O caught a crazy obsession ‘Treas Underwood,’” hinting at what he describes as a long-standing and unjust fixation on his life.

Meek Mill further elaborated on the exhausting conditions of his probation in a follow-up tweet, in which he lays out how the strenuous nature of his probation’s rehabilitation program interfered with his burgeoning rap career. While venting his frustrations, Meek appeared to compare the severity of the danger the situation he was put in to the fatal circumstances that resulted in the deaths of Nipsey and PnB.

“Lady had me seeing my P.O in Philly once a week for like 5 years straight while I [was] traveling the world with my career!” he wrote. “Every time you come home it cost and you might get into some city s### like my fallen brothers Nipsey [Hussle] and PnB [Rock] got into just being in those environments!”

Meek Mill’s legal battles came to a major turning point in 2019 when his probation was finally cleared after Meek pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor firearm charge in Philadelphia and prosecutors dismissed all remaining counts against him, followed by the asterisk a judge added upon imposing no further penalty.

The ruling marked the first major positive development in Meek’s probation, which lasted 12 years following his initial arrest in 2007 in Philadelphia for guns and drugs when he was just 19 years old.

At one point, Meek was sentenced to two to four years in prison for minor probation violations and served five months in prison. Following his release in 2018 and the subsequent clearing of his record in 2023, Meek Mill has continued to push for reforms of the legal system.

Check out the video along with Meek’s tweets above.

Snoop Dogg & Dr. Dre Have Album Release Date In Mind… If Archery Doesn’t Derail It

Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre targeted a November release date for their highly anticipated Missionary album. Dr. Dre noted he’s close to finishing the mixing in an interview with Entertainment Tonight.

“I wanted 14 songs, Snoop wants 16, so we have that thing happening,” he explained. “I’m on song No. 11 as far as the mixes go. I have to be done and delivered by September 1 to have a November release.”

Dr. Dre said Missionary, a sequel to Snoop Dogg’s classic debut Doggystyle, will show “a different level of maturity” from both men.

“I feel like this is some of the best music I’ve done in my career,” Dr. Dre said.

He added, “We have Sting on a song. Man, it’s an amazing roster of artists that’s on this album. I shouldn’t have revealed that, to be honest.”

Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre performed together at the closing ceremony of the 2024 Olympics. The performance might not be the last time fans see Dr. Dre at the Olympics. The legendary wants to try out for the United States Archery Team and compete in the 2028 Olympics.

“I heard qualifying for the Olympics is 77 feet,” he said. “And I practice at 90. Wouldn’t that be interesting? To go, especially with it being here in L.A., and win the gold medal? I feel like I can do anything.

The 2028 Olympics will be held in Los Angeles. Dr. Dre will be in his early 60s by that time.

NBA YoungBoy Gun Case Moves To New State With Guilty Plea Plans

NBA YoungBoy’s federal gun case moved from his home state of Louisiana to Utah. The incarcerated rapper sought a transfer after he decided to plead guilty to illegally possessing a firearm as a convicted felon on August 14.

“I wish to plead guilty to the offense charged, to consent to the disposition of the case in the District of Utah in which I am present and to wave trial in the [Middle District of Louisiana],” he declared in a legal filing.

U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Louisiana Ronald Gathe Jr. and U.S. Attorney for the District of Utah Trina Higgins approved NBA YoungBoy’s request. According to court documents obtained by AllHipHop, his gun case was transferred to Utah on August 16.

NBA YoungBoy, whose real name is Kentrell Gaulden, was one of 16 people arrested on drug and weapon charges at a music video shoot in Louisiana in 2020. He was indicted for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of a firearm not registered in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record in 2021.

Judge Shelly Dick dismissed the gun registration charge in March. NBA YoungBoy was arrested for prescription drug fraud while out on bond in April.

Cache County authorities accused NBA YoungBoy of illegally obtaining promethazine with codeine from Utah pharmacies. He was charged with forgery, identity fraud and obtaining a prescription under false pretenses, among other crimes. Investigators said they caught the 24-year-old artist posing as an elderly woman named “Gwendolyn Cox” in the scheme.

Weber County authorities hit NBA YoungBoy with more drug fraud-related charges following his arrest. The additional charges included possession of a firearm by a restricted person and two counts of fraudulently obtaining a prescription.

NBA YoungBoy has remained in jail since his April arrest. He was denied a pretrial release in Weber County.

Diddy Sex Trafficking Accuser Pushes Him One Step Closer To Indictment

Adria English, the former adult film star who sued Diddy for sex trafficking, filed a police report against the disgraced mogul in Florida. According to TMZ, English spoke with Miami Beach detectives last week to reiterate allegations from her July lawsuit.

The Miami Beach Police Department won’t investigate English’s claims on its own but will provide the report to federal authorities investigating Diddy for sex trafficking. English’s lawyer says she intends to file another police report in New York. A federal grand jury in the Southern District of New York is hearing evidence against Diddy.

English is one of the multiple women who’ve sued Diddy over the past year. She accused him of grooming her into sex trafficking.

Diddy allegedly used English as “a sexual pawn for the pleasure and financial benefit of others” at his White Parties. English’s lawsuit detailed one incident in which she was forced to have sex with Jacob Arabov, better known as Jacob the Jeweler. English claimed she was sexually assaulted and plied with alcohol laced with drugs at the parties, among other allegations.

English began working as a go-go dancer for Diddy’s parties to help her boyfriend secure a modeling gig. She allegedly accepted the offer because her boyfriend refused to perform oral sex on Diddy.

Diddy’s lawyer Jonathan Davis denied any wrongdoing in response to English’s lawsuit.

“No matter how many lawsuits are filed it won’t change the fact that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted or sex trafficked anyone,” Davis declared. “We live in a world where anyone can file a lawsuit for any reason and without any proof. Fortunately, a fair and impartial judicial process exists to find the truth and Mr. Combs is confident he will prevail against these and other baseless claims in court.”

Homeland Security raided Diddy’s homes in March as part of a sex trafficking investigation. So far, he has not been charged with any crimes.

Pitbull Responds After Kesha’s Name Removed From YouTube Video Title

Pitbull responded after fans noticed Kesha’s name was missing from the YouTube title for their hit song Timber. Over the weekend, viewers took to social media to report the change from “Pitbull – Timber (Official Video) featuring Kesha” to “Pitbull – Timber (Official Video).”

Amid a wave of concern from Kesha’s loyal supporters, many speculated the change was linked to Pitbull’s tie with music producer Dr. Luke. On Sunday (August 18), Pitbull addressed the speculation.

“@KeshaRose and I have an incredible song together,” Pitbull stated. “Nothing will change this. Team Pitbull is looking into this matter. Always nothing but love for Kesha, Dale!”

Alongside his message, Pitbull shared a clip from the “Timber” video.

Kesha has yet to comment on the situation.

The TikTok singer’s career saw significant turmoil starting in 2014 due to a series of legal battles with her former producer Dr. Luke.

Kesha accused Dr. Luke of drugging and sexually assaulting her in 2005, allegations he denied while countersuing her for breach of contract and defamation. Their prolonged court battle concluded in June 2023.

Most recently, Kesha released a new single titled “Joyride” under her label, Kesha Records.

As fans eagerly await clarity, the public’s reaction underscores the deep connection between artists and their collaborative legacies. The ongoing support from both Kesha’s and Pitbull’s fans showcases the enduring impact of their work together.

The Weeknd Reschedules Canceled Australian Tour Dates

The Weeknd announced his return to Australia with new tour dates Monday, revisiting plans abruptly canceled last year.

Originally, the Grammy-winning artist was set to close his “After Hours Til Dawn” world tour in Australia and New Zealand in November and December 2023. These concerts were postponed and eventually scrapped due to “schedule and logistical constraints.”

“I feel a strong pull to perform in Australia before moving on to the next chapter,” The Weeknd said in a statement, Billboard reports. “I want to make sure you all know I hadn’t forgotten about you. When I return now, it will be the right time, and I promise it will be such a special experience. I can’t wait to see you all!”

Fans noticed a significant alteration in the new schedule. The Canadian artist, born Abel Tesfaye, was originally due for multiple performances: two nights in Brisbane, three in Sydney, four in Melbourne, and two in Auckland, New Zealand.

This revised tour, however, comprises only four shows: two in Sydney and two in Melbourne.

The “Blinding Lights” artist will perform at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium on October 5 and 6.

Additional shows in Sydney are slated for October 22 and 23 at Accor Stadium. These will mark The Weeknd’s first stadium appearances in Australia since 2017.

The Weeknd’s “After Hours Til Dawn” tour began in July 2022 and concluded in October 2023. This tour extension provides Australian fans a highly anticipated, albeit truncated, opportunity to catch the pop sensation live.

In a poignant moment of serendipity, despite initial setbacks, the announcement reaffirms The Weeknd’s commitment to his global audience, ensuring that his artistic journey is shared with fans Down Under.

Fivio Foreign Teases Donald Trump Meeting, Sparking Fan Backlash 

Fivio Foreign featured Donald Trump’s voice on his new single with Kodak Black, and now he’s taking his endorsement a step further. 

Last Friday (August 16), the Brooklyn native stunned fans with his new collab with the Florida rapper “ONBOA47RD.” Despite coming under fire from his fans over the track, some of whom vowed to never listen to his music again, Fivio Foreign claims he’s set to meet Donald Trump very soon.  

On Sunday (August 18) made an announcement on X (Twitter). “Linking up w Trump inna couple days,” he wrote. 

It appears Fivio intends to conduct an interview of sorts, and asked his followers to submit questions for the former President and 34-times convicted felon.  

“What’s the 1 question yall want me to ask Trump when I see him ?” he asked.  

While there were some silly replies, many responded with valid questions. 

“Why is he using rappers as pawns?!” one person suggested. “Why is he pandering and what actual plan does he have that won’t benefit anyone making over 400k a year.” 

Another said, “Ask him if he ever apologized for saying the central park 5 should be put to death.” 

While a third person advised Fivio Foreign to ask Donald Trump, “Why he’s racist.” 

Ignoring the pertinent questions, the rapper revealed he wanted to ask about Flat Earth theory, but a follower recommended he find out about “secret alien files.”  

However, Donald Trump has already addressed Fivio Foreign’s burning question.  

Meanwhile, fellow rapper and Trump supporter Kanye West was mobbed after showing up to a rally in Beverly Hills. MAGA hat-wearing supporters flocked to his car as West and his wife Bianca Censori arrived.

However, it appears not everybody understood his intention, so Lil Durk took to his Instagram Stories to elaborate. The Chicago rapper wants to use his platform to spread the message that followers of the faith cannot also be gang members. 

“I don’t gabgbang I’m a Muslim,” he wrote. “Basically what I was saying on my post in so many words you can’t do both ima be the one who say it.” 

Furthermore, Lil Durk wants existing followers to continue to support him as he takes a new path. He clarified that while his raps draw from personal life experiences, he isn’t encouraging others to follow in his footsteps. 

“So if you follow me as a brother a friend a icon follow me to my new chapter of life,” he added. “When I make music | rap what I seen and been through not telling you to go do it HUGE difference the music won’t change but my life goals will.” 

Instagram/Lil Durk

Lil Durk has been taking steps to better himself, including getting clean. Earlier this year, Durk revealed he underwent a stint in rehab to treat his addiction to Codeine and Xanax. He also shared his plans to build a treatment facility to help others in his hometown.   

“It was tough at first, but it ain’t that tough ’cause I really knew what I wanted. I knew what was holding me back,” Lil Durk explained, before adding, “I wanted better. I want to be a better man, a better father, a better leader. 

“My main goal is peace, being with the family and staying out of b#######,” he added. “I just see myself staying on the right track and trying to change a lot of lives.”

Doja Cat & Joseph Quinn Spark Dating Rumors Two Years After Viral Controversy 

Doja Cat recently stepped out with actor Joseph Quinn, leading fans to believe she manifested a new man two years after shooting her shot. 

The singer and rapper was recently spotted with the Stranger Things star packing on the PDA in London. The pair cozied up to each other in Dingwalls music venue in North London. Other footage shows Doja Cat and Joseph Quinn holding hands while walking through the city. 

The dating rumors arrive two years after Doja got into it with Quinn’s co-star Noah Schnapp in a very public spat.  

Back in 2022, Doja Cat asked the then-17-year-old Schnapp to tell Joseph Quinn to contact her. 

“Noah can you tell Joseph to [hit me up.] Wait no. Does he have a [girlfriend]?” she wrote, but Schnapp told her to just slide into DMs. 

However, he later posted their exchange on TikTok promoting Doja Cat to call him out on Instagram Live. 

“First, let’s try to be chill about it. To be fair, this is like a kid. I don’t even know how old he is, but he’s not even over… like there’s no way he’s over 21,” Doja Cat told her IG followers. “But when you’re that young, you make mistakes. You do dumb s###.” 

She added, “But the fact that Noah did that, like went and posted a private conversation between me and him, is so unbelievably like socially unaware and wack. That’s like borderline snake s###. That’s like weasel s###.” 

Joseph Quinn On Doja Cat

Quinn addressed the situation during a 2022 interview with Entertainment Weekly

“That was funny,” he explained. “That whole experience was quite odd, but it’s fantastic. I admire her enormously as an artist.” He added, “She’s an immensely talented artist and the fact that she liked my character was cool.”

Nonetheless, Joseph Quinn seemed unfazed by the exchange, judging by his recent outing with Doja Cat. 

Her fans are over the moon at Doja’s rumored romance and are gearing up for some new bangers. 

Tina Knowles Finally Learns Explicit Double Meaning Of Beyoncé’s “Ego” 

Beyoncé wrote the sexual innuendo-filled “Ego” more than 15 years ago but her mother Tina Knowles has only just cottoned on to the risqué meaning behind the lyrics. 

The track, released in 2006, sees Bey singing about how much she loves her man’s giant “ego” and includes lyrics like “It’s too big, it’s too wide/It’s too strong, it won’t fit/ It’s too much, it’s too tough.” 

However, despite being a huge fan of Beyoncé’s songs, Tina Knowles didn’t understand the real meaning behind “Ego.” On Sunday (August 18) she shared a clip from a podcast discussing the song and it appears Bey surprised her mom. 

“Wow, !!!!!!!” she captioned the post. I just realized that she wasn’t talking about that ego!!!!!! Ohhhhhh Myyyyy!!!!!!!” 

She added several crying-with-laughter emojis before clarifying that she didn’t get it until now. “I’m serious,” Tina Knowles continued. “I really didn’t Know til now!!!!! That’s crazy! Nooo! Really? Maybe not ! I don’t know! What y’all think?”

One thing Tina Knowles was certain about was her daughter’s singing skills but even there, Beyoncé never ceases to amaze her. The proud mom posted a snippet of an a cappella version of Cowboy Carter cut “FLAMENCO,” praising her daughter in the caption. 

“Wow ! Just Wow!!! Vocal acrobats !!” she wrote. “These effortless vocals on here!!!!! Flamengo may be the most underrated song on this amazing album! from Cowboy Carter Album. ! Pure acapella vocals!!! no help here.”

Machine Gun Kelly Reveals Deep Symbolism Behind Blackout Tattoo 

Machine Gun Kelly is opening up about the meaning of his huge blackout tattoo that spans across his upper torso and both arms, covering his older ink. 

During a recent appearance on Million Dollaz Worth of Game, MGK explained the tattoo’s metamorphosis-like effect. 

“I’m in a new body, I literally am in a new body,” he told hosts Gillie and Wallo. “I covered everything on my arms and my body. I left windows to it, just like there’s windows to my old work, but I’m a new person so the evolution has led me from a caterpillar to a butterfly now.” 

He continued, elaborating on why he used “windows” to show traces of his old tattoos. 

“The one thing I think fans don’t appreciate is an artist turning their back on what made them fall in love with you,” MGK added. “Now while I may not resonate as much with older work that I’ve done, I do resonate with the fans, always. So, I don’t ever want to run away from them.” 

Furthermore, Machine Gun Kelly said he didn’t want to completely eliminate the “tall skinny tatted white boy” image. 

“I didn’t want to necessarily erase everything like I’m running from it,” he shared. “I just put on armor.”
