Jada Pinkett Smith Says She’s “Young” But “Old” Will Smith Needs Someone To Take Care Of Him

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Jada Pinkett Smith believes she and her estranged husband, Will Smith, will live together again “eventually.”

While speaking to The Times, the Gotham actress revealed that she may move back in with Will to “take care of him” when he’s older.

“I think eventually we will (live together again). I really do,” Jada Pinkett Smith told the outlet. “Will’s getting old. I’m staying quite young, but it’s getting apparent to me that he’s gonna need someone to take care of him.”

Will and Jada married in 1997. In Jada’s upcoming memoir, titled “Worthy,” the actress revealed that they had been secretly separated for seven years. She currently lives in her own house nearby to Will’s in Calabasas, California.

The “Girls Trip” star explained in her interview that she was “adamantly against divorce” because it “doesn’t feel right” for them.

“Will and I got married at an early age and we were able to make some beautiful things and some not so beautiful things,” she said. “We got to a place where we had to go our separate ways in order to break from some of those more immature fantasies of what being married was about.”

Jada Pinkett Smith continued, “Bear in mind, when we had that separation in 2016 the goal was to divorce, but divorce just didn’t feel right for either of us. We don’t know why. But here we are.”

She added that she wasn’t dating anyone else, as Will was still her “focus” and her “dynamic with him is her greatest teacher in terms of healing.”

The estranged couple share two children together: 25-year-old Jaden and 22-year-old Willow. Will also shares 30-year-old son Trey with his ex-wife Sheree Zampino.

50 Cent Trolls Diddy Over 2Pac Murder Case Using Jada Pinkett Smith Meme: “Thug Life”

By: Kershaw St. JawnsonCategory: News

50 Cent has taken to social media to poke fun at Diddy after his name re-emerged in connection to the murder of Tupac Shakur. The Bad Boy mogul was identified by Keefe D as someone who put a bag on the rap legend’s head.

Diddy supposedly denied the claim, telling Tupac Shakur’s brother Mopreme “sometime in the 2000s”  his hands were clean. But 50 Cent is relentlessly teasing him about the alleged body anyway.

In his most recent post, he shared the last picture of ‘Pac before he was shot in the car with Suge Knight. Jada Pinkett Smith is superimposed in the flick. He wrote in the caption, “Thug Life, Jada in New York looking for puffy. LOL you think you gonna get away with this [ninja emoji].”

Fans responded in the comments saying what we all know, “This dude is the best at being the worst.”

50 Cent has been on Diddy’s neck since Keefe D’s arrest for his alleged involvement in Tupac Shakur’s murder. As he said on October 10, “I hate when they leave me to talk because I always say the wrong thing. Last time they left me I said something about Puffy.” 

“I got to stop doing that kinda s###, I been talking to a therapist to try to help me with the s### I be saying. I say crazy s### out my mouth for no reason,” the rapper continued as he walked back and forth on the stage during a recent “The Final Lap” tour performance. “Oh wait … Maybe I said that s### about Puffy because he got 2Pac killed.”

The South Jamaica, Queens native then posted a clip of Keefe D saying Diddy stopped his money from coming in. The caption read, “LMAO Brother Love, show some love. Damn should have just sent this fool a few dollars.”

Pras Seeks New Trial; Claims Lawyer Used AI And Ruined His Chances At Favorable Verdict

By: Nolan StrongCategory: News

After facing a significant legal setback in a conspiracy trial, Pras Michel, a foundational member of the legendary hip-hop group Fugees, is gearing up for a renewed legal battle. 

Pras wants a new trial, claiming his old attorney, David Kenner, tanked his case by using experimental AI to draft closing arguments, which resulted in him being convicted of 10 criminal counts, including conspiracy, witness tampering, and failing to register as an agent of China.

Pras was accused of aiding Malaysian entrepreneur Jho Low in his attempts to wield political clout in the United States. 

The charges against Pras were severe, painting a narrative of political maneuvering in exchange for $100 million. The courtroom drama spanned several weeks and was punctuated by testimonies from notable figures such as Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio and the former US Attorney General Jeff Sessions. 

Pras is attempting to clear his name and has aligned with the powerful law firm, ArentFox Schiff LLP, in his endeavor to argue for a new trial. 

This team boasts the expertise of Peter Zeidenberg, a renowned civil rights advocate, former US Senator Doug Jones, and Scott Peeler, Pras’s publicist Erica Dumas revealed. Their collective experience navigating intricate legal landscapes, especially in government probes and criminal defense, makes them a formidable ally for Pras in his pursuit of justice.

The new legal team claims Pras has grounds for a new trial since Kenner, who has represented artists like Suge Knight, Tory Lanez and others, used an experimental AI program to write the closing argument during Pras’ trial. 

Apparently, Kenner was not shy about using the technology. 

“We also found evidence indicating that this was true. Specifically, we identified a press release issued by a company called EyeLevel after the trial that stated: ‘EyeLevel.AI’s litigation assistance technology made history last week, becoming the first use of generative AI in a federal trial. The case involved Pras Michel, a former member of the Hip-Hop band The Fugees, who was on trial for international fraud charges,” Pras’ legal team argued. 

“It’s unconscionable that Mr. Kenner allegedly used A.I. to draft his closing arguments,” Dumas said.

Kenner boasted that EyeLevel’s AI turned “hours or days” of his legal work into “seconds.” Pras says that Kenner desperately needed the help of AI because the lawyer and his team were unprepared for closing arguments.

To make matters worse, Kenner apparently has a financial stake in EyeLevel.AI, which was not disclosed to the rapper. 

Pras feels like he was cheated, according to his reps, especially given the magnitude of the allegations against him and the fact that he is facing up to 20 years in prison.

Tay Keith Reacts To Playing Part In Drake’s Tie With Michael Jackson’s Billboard Record

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

For the thirteenth time in his career, Drake has the most popular song in America. The Canadian’s Tay Keith-produced “First Person Shooter” featuring J. Cole debuted at No. 1 on this week’s Hot 100 chart.

Drake moved into a tie with the late King of Pop Micheal Jackson for most Number Ones on the Hot 100 for male soloists. The For All the Dogs album creator now only trails Rihanna (14), Mariah Carey (19), and The Beatles (20) on the all-time list.

“Being [a part] of [a] history-breaking Michael Jackson record for most Hot 100 #1s is insane dawg,” tweeted Tay Keith on October 16. He previously reached the pinnacle of that Billboard chart with Travis Scott’s “Sicko Mode” featuring Drake in 2018 and Drake’s “Jimmy Cooks” featuring 21 Savage in 2022.

In addition to working with Drake, 2023 also saw Tay Keith produce “Pound Town” by rising Hip-Hop star Sexyy Red. Recent songs by Westside Gunn and Offset also included beats crafted by the Middle Tennessee State University graduate.

“Facts, I went crazy this year hopefully a Grammy this time🤦🏾‍♂️🔥,” posted Keith in response to a fan celebrating the 27-year-old Memphis native’s production run over the last several months.

Tay Keith (born Brytavious Chambers) scored one official Grammy nomination at the 61st ceremony in 2019 for his contribution to “Sicko Mode.” However, the golden gramophone for Best Rap Song went to Drake’s “God’s Plan” that year.

Southside Responds To Backlash Over Controversial Interview With Funny Marco

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

Well-known record producer Southside found himself in the social media hot seat over the last twenty-four hours. Some people took issue with Southside and G Herbo’s behavior on Funny Marco’s podcast.

The awkward exchange on Funny Marco’s Open Thoughts show between the Swervo album creators and the comedian caused outrage online. Marco then addressed the situation in a Facebook post.

“I understand a lot of y’all mad about the interview,” wrote Funny Marco. He continued, “I was upset while it was going on but I understand I got a job to do & one thing about me [is] I respect people on my show. I didn’t want to match [their] energy.”

He added, “It’s so many L’s I took on my journey I wish I could show I don’t hide anything. So I feel it was only right to put the episode out myself. And just learn from that episode & move on. Thank [you to those] who support me, it’s a mindset thing.” 

During the Open Thoughts interview, G Herbo repeatedly tells Funny Marco to “shut the f### up” and calls him “goofy” more than once. The host later claimed the Herbo and Southside broke his $30,000 watch.

Southside responded to the backlash in a video posted online. The co-founder of the 808 Mafia production/songwriting team called out Funny Marco, apologized to the podcaster and shaded him for supposedly having a fake watch.

“That n#### wasn’t scared. If you were scared, I can’t help how your mama raised you n#####,” stated Southside on Instagram Live. “This is why I stay off this s### because no matter what it is n##### make me the bad guy.”

The “Who Run It (Remix)” beatmaker added, “If he was uncomfortable, it’s like, alright, damn Marco. We’re sorry. We didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable but you’re a b####-ass n####. Stay away from me. Moral of the story.”

Southside also said, “Marco, I got a watch right now you can come get. I got a new watch for you, bro. Call me, I got something for you right now. And it’s real cause that s### I threw wasn’t real. That watch was fake. It wasn’t a real watch. That s### was fake as f###.”

Alicia Keys Denies Perceived Antisemitic “Paragliding” Post Was Support For Hamas

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

Alicia Keys found herself in hot water this week, with the 15x-Grammy winner’s recent social media activity causing some backlash on the internet.

“What would u do if you weren’t afraid of anything???” Alicia Keys’s caption read on the now-deleted Instagram post. “Tell me your truth… I’ve had my eyes on paragliding.”

The reference to “paragliding” led to many commenters accusing Alicia Keys of promoting antisemitism and tacitly showing support for Hamas, the militant group based in the Gaza Strip that orchestrated the October 7 terrorist attack on Israel.

Part of the Hamas assault included the use of motorized paragliders. At least 1,400 Israelis died as a result of the coordinated offensive that also targeted the Supernova Sukkot Gathering, which took place approximately three miles from the Gaza–Israel border.

Alicia Keys returned to Instagram to address the negative reactions to her previous “paragliding” message. According to the recording artist, she didn’t intend to show support for Hamas or spew any antisemitic rhetoric.

“The post I shared earlier was COMPLETELY unrelated in any way to the recent devastating loss of innocent lives,” Keys wrote on her Instagram Story. “My heart has been breaking… I pray for and stand for peace.”

Since the outbreak of violence between Hamas and Isreal on October 7, the conflict has become a touchy subject for celebrities. For example, Jewish rapper Drake faced criticism for not speaking out. However, his father, Dennis Graham, argued Drake made the right decision to remain quiet on the topic.

According to reports, the combined Israeli and Palestinian death toll has surpassed 4,000 people. There’s also significant concern about mounting civilian casualties and a humanitarian crisis in Gaza following Israel’s air strikes and blockade of the area. U.S. President Joe Biden will visit the region on Wednesday (October 18). 

Jada Pinkett Smith’s “Red Table Talk” Set To Return In 2024

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

It appears the award-winning Red Table Talk will return next year. Worthy author Jada Pinkett Smith’s headline-generating talk show will need to find a new broadcast home before new episodes start to air.

Red Table Talk launched on Facebook Watch in May 2018 and ran on the social media platform for five seasons. Willow Smith, Jada’s daughter, and Adrienne Banfield-Norris, Jada’s mother, served as co-hosts for the program.

Back in April of this year, Facebook Watch canceled several shows including Jada Pinkett Smith’s Red Table Talk. Apparently, Facebook wants to shift the company’s focus away from original programming and move more towards virtual reality experiences in Meta Horizon Worlds.

Jada Pinkett Smith recently revealed Red Table Talk will be back. The star of cult classic films such as Menace II Society and Set It Off informed her fans to be on the lookout for a rebooted Red Table Talk in 2024.

“The Red Table is coming back. We are in the works of a situation right now. So next year,” declared Jada Pinkett Smith during a livestream on TalkShopLive. “We could not do the red table while I was writing this book and while Willow was on her music journey.”

Numerous celebrities appeared on Red Table Talk during the show’s five-year run. The guest list included Gabrielle Union, Tiffany Haddish, Kid Cudi, Wale, Jordyn Woods, Common, T.I., Snoop Dogg, Lauren London, Ice Cube, Bobby Brown, Kevin Hart, Queen Latifah, Fat Joe, and others.

“Jada Brings Herself to the Table” became one of the most-watched episodes of Red Table Talk (39 million views). That installment featured Jada Pinkett Smith and her husband, Will Smith, addressing Jada’s infamous “entanglement” with R&B singer August Alsina.

Ice Spice Names Nicki Minaj’s “Pink Friday” The GOAT Album

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice teamed up twice this year on two different songs. Both “Princess Diana” and “Barbie World” peaked in the Billboard Hot 100’s Top 10 region.

Ice Spice is clearly a fan of Nicki Minaj. The 23-year-old newcomer solidified her position as a Barb by praising Minaj’s debut studio LP while appearing on Complex‘s “GOAT Talk” series.

“Princess Diana” and “Barbie World” producer Ephrem “RIOTUSA” Lopez joined Ice Spice on the digital show. When RIOTUSA suggested Spice’s GOAT album was Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday, the Bronx native agreed.

Later in the conversation, Spice also named “Win Again” as Nicki Minaj’s greatest song of all time. That track lives on the deluxe edition of 2014’s The Pinkprint album. Not surprisingly, RIOTUSA put over the “Barbie World” collaboration.

Pink Friday dropped in November 2010. Nicki Minaj’s first official album debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, selling 375,000 copies in its first week. The project eventually peaked at No. 1 in its eleventh week on the chart.

Ice Spice continues to make big moves in the entertainment industry. The New Yorker born Isis Gaston recently served as the musical guest on the season 49 premiere of Saturday Night Live. She performed “In Ha Mood” and “Pretty Girl” with Rema.

“In Ha Mood” lives on the Like..? EP. That project also hosts Spice’s breakout hit “Munch (Feelin’ U)” as well as the Nicki Minaj-assisted “Princess Diana” single. Like..? opened at No. 37 on the Billboard 200 with 15,000 album-equivalent units.

Boosie Badazz Under Fire Over Comments About Fathers “Pushing P” On Teen Sons 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Boosie Badazz is on the receiving end of social media backlash again over his comments about fathers “pushing” their teenage sons to have sex with women to prevent them from becoming transgender. 

The “Wipe Me Down” hitmaker is an outspoken critic of certain members of the LGBT community. His past controversies include calling Lil Nas X a homophobic slur and Dwyane Wade for accepting his underage, transgender daughter, Zaya Wade. 

In a clip from a recent interview on The Danza Project, Boosie doubled down on his previous comments about encouraging teen boys to have sex before the age of 16 to prevent them from straying “that way.” 

The host commented on schools pushing a “lie” that there are more than two genders.  

“As a father, we gotta be more hands-on,” Boosie replied. “We gotta be more hands-on with raising our kids and letting ’em know what’s right”

Boosie continued, “By the time they’re 16, they gotta be pushing P.” By the time they’re 15, you gotta send them to the movies with the girls. They’re gonna get blinded by what they see on TV and things like that. If we just let them watch what everyone’s doing, they’re gonna stray that way.”

Social Media Reacts To Boosie’s “Controversial “Pushing P” Comments

Clips of the interview circulated online, with some commenters calling Boosie’s advice criminal.  

“This is literally molesting ya kids wth going on,” one person wrote on Instagram.  

“So we just gone act like he didnt just admit to a CRIME ???????????????,” another user commented. “This yall fav promoting predator, molesting actions but yall gone act like its okay though cause its straight activites and the black community is only against LGBTQ.” 

Elsewhere during the interview, the Baton Rouge, Louisiana native also claimed he once turned down “a quarter-million to go to perform at LGBT community,” event. 

“Companies don’t wanna mess with me for the things I speak about. It’s a lot of losses and it’s a lot of gains also. But I’m not being real for money,” Boosie shared. “If that’s the case, I can sell my soul for anything.” 

In the past, Boosie has admitted to arranging for adult women to perform sex acts on his 16 year old son and has come under fire for sexualzing his sons.

Bow Wow Calls On Record Labels To Stop Pushing “Subpar” Artists And Bring Back Artist Development 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Bow Wow is calling on record labels to bring back artist development, accusing execs of pushing “subpar” artists before they’re ready. 

The rapper and actor took to social media Monday in a lengthy rant against the labels.  

“Can we please bring back artist development at these labels,” he wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “Do these labels even care about these artist? Yall be throwing them on platforms knowing they not ready.” 

Bow Wow then compared the music industry to boxing, suggesting labels should prepare artists to ready them for the industry.  

“A boxer is trained and taught before battle,” he added. ”We just keep throwing these subpar ass artist out here with no proper teaching.” 

The “Ain’t Thinkin’ ‘Bout You” hitmaker continued, ” They cant talk. I don’t understand wtf they saying. Be dry as hell in interviews. Yall know i take the stage serious! I dont even wanna get on they stage presence. Rapping over vocals s### is sloppy out here man. We gotta clean this s### up. Get better or get tf out the way.” 

According to Bow Wow, labels are pushing artists, but not the ones deserving of a shot.  

“Its too many real ones out here on the come up like symba west side boogie,” he continued. “i can name so many more lady london, lola like new artist that GOT IT! who deserve the push… but instead … man im done even speaking on it haha s### be getting me hot.”

Drake Celebrates “Full Circle Moment” After Tying Michael Jackson for Billboard Hot 100 Record 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Drake says he’s “still got work to do,” after “First Person Shooter” debuted on top of the Billboard Hot 100 this week, tying Michael Jackson for the most No. 1 hits by a male solo artist. 

The track marked his thirteenth chart-topper, equalling the King of Pop’s feat achieved in 1995 with “You Are Not Alone.”   

Celebrating the achievement on Instagram, Drake shared an AI-generated image of Michael Jackson taking a selfie wearing an OVO hoodie. He tagged his “First Person Shooter” co-star J. Cole, writing, “Mooooooooood.”

Meanwhile, on his Instagram Story, Drake noted his feature on Travis Scott’s 2018 hit “Sicko Mode” was not included in the numbers, otherwise he’d have 14 hits. “We got work to do,” he added. 

Drake Dons Michael Jackson’s Iconic White Glove – But is It The Real Thing?

The OVO founder also shared two photos of himself having a celebratory drink while wearing a sequined white glove that looks suspiciously like Michael Jackson’s signature piece. He also shared a throwback pic of his character in Degrassi as MJ wearing the white glove and famous red leather jacket. “Full circle moment,” he wrote alongside the image.  

Check out the photos below.

It’s unclear if Drake owns Michael Jackson’s iconic white glove, which sold at auction for $480,000 months after the singer’s death. The sale earned a place in the Guinness Book of World Records in 2009 for the most expensive glove ever sold at auction. 

However, According to SmithsonianMag, Drake does own the most valuable hip-hop artifact ever sold. He purchased a gold and ruby crown ring designed by Tupac Shakur at a Sotheby’s sale for just over $1 million earlier this year.  

Meanwhile, For All The Dogs also debuted at No. 1 on the latest Billboard 200 this week with 402,000 first-week units. The project also becomes his “lucky” thirteenth No. 1 album, trailing behind Jay-Z in the record books, who sits at fourteenth. The Beatles are the all-time Billboard 200 chart leaders with nineteen chart-toppers.

By: London JennnCategory: News

Funny Marco revealed he’s “upset” over a recent interview with G Herbo and Southside where they called him a “b####” and broke his $30K watch. 

The rappers were guests on the latest episode of the comedian’s podcast Open Thoughts, which aired earlier this week (October 15). However, after watching the episode, viewers were left outraged over the guest’s treatment of their host.  

In one clip circulating online, G Herbo repeatedly tells Funny Marco to “shut the f### up” when the podcaster points out his guests are talking amongst themselves. “F###### goofy,” Herbo added.

Damian Lillard Went Metro Boomin On Drake’s NBA Announcer Bae & Cut One Of Her Verses

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: Rumors

Drake’s longtime crush, NBA commentator Doris Burke, once felt the same sting the 6 God felt when he found out Metro Boomin cut his feature verse from his Heroes & Villians album.

Yes, I know I was wrong about my premonition, which would’ve saw Lillard team up with LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers in time for the trade deadline in February. But whatever, I’m not getting paid to break insider information on top NBA free agents—I’m getting a check to put you on game with the hearsay surrounding them.

And this week’s rumor suggests beloved hoops critic Burke didn’t fair well with Lillard when she hit the studio with his Dame Dolla alter ego. The mine-melodramatic bombshell was dropped moments before Lillard took the floor during a preseason game with his newly minted Milwaukee Bucks’ squad—ironically matched up against the Lakers. In the short live interview, Lillard revealed he told his new superstar teammate Gianna Antekounpo that he intended to recruit him in the studio at some point to get him on a track. It appears that alone triggered Burke, who sprung into action to reveal she “wasn’t surprised” that Dame cut her from his record.

“Did you know I once got cut from a Damian Lillard track? I kid you not,” Burke said before adding, “He had me record lines, I didn’t make it—I’m not surprised.” Say it ain’t so, Dame? Drizzy would LITERALLY never! Something is telling me Lillard is going to make things right with his next single release and gift the world the vaulted verse Miss Doris laid down.

If not, Dame Dolla might face some sleight-of-hand lyrical jabs from Drizzy himself over his treatment of Burke, considering Young Metro is still allegedly in the 6 God’s sights over a similar spat.

Waka Flocka Endorses Donald Trump For President In 2024

By: Houston WilliamsCategory: News

Waka Flocka Flame headed to Instagram on Monday (October 16), where he made a resounding endorsement for Donald Trump’s bid to reclaim the White House in the 2024 election.

Waka Flocka Flame shared his support for Trump with his two million Twitter (X) followers. In a concise message, he declared Trump has earned his vote in the looming presidential election.

Some believe it’s a direct response to the perceived waning support of President Joe Biden.

Waka Flocka Flame’s endorsement comes at a time when there are predictions that Black voters may not turn out in strong numbers to support Biden in the 2024 election. The comments on the rapper’s social media account largely expressed support for his political stance and encouraged others to join the Trump camp.

There’s also a contingency that believes Trump’s past and current legal quandaries make him unelectable. Trump has faced indictment on four separate occasions in recent months.

Most recently, he was indicted by a Fulton County grand jury in Georgia state court, where he’s facing 13 criminal counts. The charges are linked to his alleged efforts to overturn the outcome of Georgia’s 2020 presidential election.

In a separate legal proceeding, Trump received a federal grand jury indictment in Washington, D.C., involving four counts. These charges revolve around his purported attempts to subvert the will of voters and interfere with the 2020 presidential election results.

Furthermore, Trump faced a 40-count indictment from a different federal grand jury in Florida. This indictment pertains to his alleged obstruction of an investigation and the improper retention of classified documents following his presidential term.

Lastly, in a criminal proceeding in New York State Court, Trump was indicted on 34 counts. These charges are related to alleged hush money payments made to an adult film star during the 2016 presidential campaign.

It’s noteworthy that all of these indictments were handed down by grand juries comprised of local citizens chosen randomly from the jury pool.

In 2015, Flocka tweeted, “F#ck Donald J. Trump” and in 2017, he wiped his backside with a Trump jersey on stage.

Nevertheless, Waka Flocka joins Lil Pump, Chief Keef, Kanye West and others that have expressed support for the former president in the past. Lil Pump and Chief Keef showed solidarity with Trump after he was booked in Fulton County and had his mugshot taken. Waka Flocka has yet to offer an additional insight as to why he supports Trump with all his legal and personal woes.

“I started flooding Banks with beats like I still do now and in 2023 we are 18 songs released and have put out an incredible trilogy with The Course of the Inevitable,” Cartune Beatz said in May. “That’s not to mention how many records we have done that aren’t out yet.

Soulja Boy Excoriates Lil Yachty Over Twitch Claim; Faces Ex-GF’s Financial Pressure

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Lil Yachty annoyed Soulja Boy by claiming to be the first rapper to stream on Twitch. Soulja Boy roasted Lil Yachty on Instagram Live, taking time to rant online while he still needed to pay his ex-girlfriend Kayla Myers a significant amount of money from a lawsuit.

“Don’t get on here talking ‘bout you the first rapper to stream, bruh,” Soulja Boy said. “You disrespecting me, bruh. Stupid ass n####. I been streaming on Twitch when it was called Justin.tv. You was still in middle school. You wasn’t in the rap game yet. Shut the f### up!”

Soulja Boy added, “You getting on my f###### nerves. You don’t wanna get on my nerves, bruh. Stay in yo little lane. Go hang out with Drake. Y’all got paint y’all toenails and s###, paint y’all fingernails. Do all that little weird s### and stay the f### over there, bruh. Don’t get to talking ‘bout you was the first rapper to do s### … Shut yo dumb ass up. Stop lying on the m############ internet to all these blogs and s###.”

The Twitch beef seemed like a minor inconvenience compared to the six-figure debt owed to Soulja Boy’s ex-girlfriend, who successfully sued him for assault. According to Radar Online, Myers demanded to see his bank statements at an upcoming court hearing scheduled for December.

A judge previously granted Myers’ request to seize Soulja Boy’s property to collect her award in the civil case. More recently, she sought access to his music royalties and Twitch income until he paid off the judgment.

Donald Trump Hit With Another Gag Order; Judge Hopes To Prevent Smear Campaign

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

A federal judge granted a limited gag order in Donald Trump’s election interference case on Monday (October 16). According to multiple reports, Judge Tanya Chutkan barred the former president from attacking prosecutors, witnesses and court staff in the Washington, D.C. criminal case.

Trump often targeted the judge, special counsel Jack Smith, lawyers working under Smith and potential witnesses in speeches and social media posts. Judge Chutkan sought to stop the public bashing and threatened to impose sanctions if Trump did not comply.

“Mr. Trump may still vigorously seek public support as a presidential candidate, debate policies and people related to that candidacy, criticize the current administration and assert his belief that this prosecution is politically motivated,” Judge Chutkan said, per NBC News. “But those critical First Amendment freedoms do not allow him to launch a pre-trial smear campaign against participating government staff, their families and foreseeable witnesses.”

The judge added, “Mr. Trump can certainly claim he’s being unfairly prosecuted, but I cannot imagine any other criminal case in which a defendant is permitted to call the prosecutor ‘deranged’ or ‘a thug,’ and I will not permit it here simply because the defendant is running a political campaign. His presidential candidacy does not give him carte blanche to vilify and implicitly encourage violence against public servants who are simply doing their job.”

A Trump spokesperson claimed the judge’s decision was an “absolute abomination and another partisan knife stuck in the heart of our Democracy.” Judge Chutkan was the second judge to issue a partial gag order against Trump this month.

Judge Arthur Engoron instituted a gag order in the Republican politician’s New York fraud case on October 3. Judge Engoron took action after Trump personally attacked a court clerk.

Trump is running for president while facing four criminal cases. His election interference trial is scheduled to begin in March 2024.

Tyga Responds To Blac Chyna In Child Support Case; Seeks Sole Custody Of Their Son

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Tyga urged a court to deny joint custody to Blac Chyna, who sought child support and custody of their son King Cairo. According to court documents obtained by The Blast, the rapper proposed visitation “without physical custody” for Blac Chyna.

Earlier this year, Blac Chyna filed a petition to establish the paternity of her son and collect child support from Tyga. Her ex publicly dismissed her legal efforts in a comment on Instagram.

“10 years later…nah…stick to ur schedule sat-mon,” Tyga wrote.

Tyga, whose real name is Michael Stevenson, demanded sole custody of his son in his legal response to Blac Chyna. He also wanted her to receive written permission or a court order to bring their child outside of California.

Blac Chyna, whose real name is Angela White, previously requested Tyga’s help to cover her legal fees in the child support and custody battle. She asked for $125,000 to navigate the case.

The reality TV star said she needed Tyga’s assistance because she recently resorted to selling off personal items due to her alleged financial struggles. She made more than $178,000 by selling her clothes, purses and shoes. But Blac Chyna knew she could not rely on selling her belongings to pay legal bills for an extended time.

Tommy Davidson Says He’s Had More Negative Interactions With Jealous Will Smith Than Jada

By: Kershaw St. JawnsonCategory: News

Comedian and actor Tommy Davidson has weighed in on the Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith marriage drama. He explained that he knows both celebrities and revealed one he has had the most negative experiences with.

He gave the exclusive tea to veteran journalist Allison Kugel.

Tommy Davidson appeared in the 1998 movie “Woo,” with Jada Pinkett Smith and said she was cool, but her husband seemed to be a little jealous of his wife. Now, with so much of their relationship being the talk of the town, he empathizes with the couple.

“When any personal relationship becomes public, everyone is going to have an opinion and it is one of the things that us as talents have to deal with if we get into that area, you know?” he explained, before dropping the bombshell, “I’ve had more negative experiences with Will than with Jada.”

One of the negative experiences he had with Will was finding out the “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” wanted to punch him in the face.

“When I found out the reason [Will] wanted to fight me, and I didn’t know for 15 years why he wanted to fight me, it was because he thought that I over-kissed Jada in a scene [in the movie ‘Woo,’” Davidson revealed.

He continued, “Will was mad about that and I didn’t know anything about that, because they wanted me to go into a kissing scene with Jada, and I wasn’t going to do that when me and Jada hadn’t rehearsed that. They were saying, ‘We don’t have enough time,’ and I said,  ‘I’m not doing it until she tells me it’s okay to do. I’m not doing that without rehearsing.’ So, they came back to my trailer and said, ‘Jada said to just go for it.’ I thought, ‘I’m not just going for it.  I’m going to just try to make it look real.’”

“It was after that scene that Will came to me and said, ‘Why did you do this to me?’  I said, ‘Okay, let’s go outside,’  and Jada said, ‘No!’  I then said to Jada, ‘Then tell him to just leave me alone.’”

The funny man put the incident in his book, “Living in Color,” but before it went to print, he sent it to the couple to read and approve.

The former “In Living Color” artist didn’t want people to think his interaction was always weird … saying he “also had positive experiences with both of them, and they are both human to me.”
