T-Pain Believes Drake & PARTYNEXTDOOR Dropped Throwaway Album

By: London JennnCategory: News

T-Pain shared his thoughts on Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR’s new album $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, calling it a solid project but suggesting it consists of leftover tracks that failed to make the cut for their previous albums. 

The “Buy U a Drank” hitmaker opened up about the project on a recent livestream. T-Pain speculated Drake may have only recorded the album as a way to keep PARTYNEXTDOOR in the fold.  

“I feel like [Drake] recorded a bunch of s###,” he stated. T-Pain then speculated that Drake suggested to PARTY that he could “take 10 or 15 of these songs, put a verse on them,” to create a new joint album.  

Nonetheless, T-Pain clarified he wasn’t criticizing the album. 

“I’m not saying that they’re bad,” he added. “These are just songs that didn’t make albums. Or the other way around. Or PARTY came to him with an album and was like, ‘Hey Drake, could you put verses on these particular songs.’” 

Elsewhere during the stream, T-Pain claimed a reporter recently tried to twist his words to make it seem like he was trashing Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR’s project.  

He claimed that when a TMZ reporter asked for his thoughts on the project, he responded by questioning whether they had posed the same question to Drake. 

According to T-Pain, the reporter asked “Is that a diss?” and begged for permission to publish his remarks as a diss.  

“They’re looking for something and I understand that. But the thing is, I’m a Drake fan,” T-Pain added. “I’m more of a PARTY fan than I am a Drake fan.” 

Meek Mill & Nick Cannon React To Elon Musk’s 13th Child With Hilarious Challenge 

By: London JennnCategory: Rumors

Meek Mill and Nick Cannon had a surprising reaction to reports that Elon Musk welcomed his 13th child last year, playfully expressing their ambitions to keep up with the tech billionaire’s growing family. 

On Sunday (February 16), the entertainers hopped online with their reaction to MAGA influencer Ashley St. Clair, claiming she gave birth to Musk’s 13th child five months ago. 

Cannon, who fathered 12 kids with six women, felt inspired by the news and playfully suggested he needed to keep up. 

 Yo @elonmusk got me out here looking for my Super Suit again!” the Wild N’ Out star tweeted. “LOL Congratulations my brother!” 

Meek Mill, who shares three children with two women, also saw the news as a friendly challenge. 

He joked, “It’s no way I’m letting Elon musk have more baby mothers than me lol.” 

Meanwhile, like Meek Mill and Nick Cannon, Elon Musk’s estranged daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson, shared an amusing reaction to her father’s alleged 13th child.  

“Wow, if I had a nickel for every time I found out I had half-siblings through Reddit, I’d have two nickels,” she shared on TikTok. ‘Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it’s happened twice, right?”

Elon Musk Reacts To 13th Child Reports

Musk has 12 other children with three women. He has five children with his first wife, Justine Wilson, three with singer Grimes, and three with technology executive Shivon Zilis. 

St. Clair made the announcement on X on Saturday (February 15). She stated she had previously kept it private to protect the child but was revealing it due to impending tabloid exposure.  

However, Elon Musk remained cryptic about the news, neither confirming nor denying it. His initial response to a post accusing St. Clair of trying to “ensnare” him was simply, “Whoa.” 

St. Clair fired back at Elon, slamming him for engaging in online gossip while ignoring her.  

“Elon, we have been trying to communicate for the past several days and you have not responded,” she wrote. “When are you going to reply to us instead of publicly responding to smears from an individual who just posted photos of me in underwear at 15 years old?” 

St. Clair’s representative stated that she and Musk “have been privately working towards the creation of an agreement about raising their child for some time,” adding, “we are waiting for Elon to publicly acknowledge his parental role.” 

Lil Wayne’s Daughter Defends Father After Backlash Over “SNL50” Performance  

By: London JennnCategory: News

Lil Wayne’s performance at SNL50: The Anniversary Special has sparked a heated debate among fans, prompting his daughter Reginae Carter to step forward to defend the rap icon.  

Dave Chappelle introduced Weezy to the stage for Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary special on Sunday (February 16). He was joined by The Roots and DJ T. Lewis to perform a medley of his biggest hits, including “Uproar,” “Lollipop,” “6 Foot 7 Foot,” “Mrs. Officer” and “A Milli.”

The SNL50 special was a star-studded three-hour event on NBC and Peacock, featuring iconic sketches, musical performances, and appearances from former cast members and special guests. 

While many fans applauded Lil Wayne’s set, others found it underwhelming. Some used the Young Money founder’s performance as evidence of why he wasn’t chosen for the Super Bowl, while others went as far as claiming it outshined Kendrick Lamar’s Halftime Show. 

“I love Lil Wayne with my whole damn heart,” one fan shared. “But this SNL performance is making those who said he should have played the Super Bowl look even dumber.”  

“People were dead serious saying Lil Wayne should’ve done the Super Bowl halftime show over Kendrick,” added another. “Please watch this SNL performance.”  

A third declared, “This SNL performance proves that Lil Wayne shouldn’t ever do a Super Bowl.” 

However, Lil Wayne’s eldest child, Reginae Carter, fired back at the critics. 

“Yall are some d riders !” she wrote on Instagram. “My dad been having fun performing for years ! He is truly himself when he hit the stage . Go play with yall mf kids .. he collected a check after this .. what yall get for hating? Not a damn thing!”

Baby Making Machine Elon Musk Outed As Father Of 13th Child

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

Elon Musk addressed swirling speculation Saturday after conservative influencer Ashley St Clair alleged she gave birth to his child five months ago.

The billionaire responded with a single-word reaction on X, the social media platform he owns after a post claimed St Clair had been strategizing for years to have his child.

“Whoa,” Elon Musk wrote in response to a user’s post that read, “Ashley St Clair plotted for half a decade to ensnare Elon Musk.”

St Clair, an author and online personality, quickly retorted, criticizing Musk for engaging with internet chatter instead of addressing her directly.

“Elon, we have been trying to communicate for the past several days and you have not responded. When are you going to reply to us instead of publicly responding to smears from an individual who just posted photos of me in underwear at 15 years old?” she wrote.

St Clair’s claim, first reported by the New York Post, suggests she and Musk share a 5-month-old child. Her representative, Brian Glicklich, released a statement on X, saying both parties have been negotiating a co-parenting agreement.

“Ashley & Elon have been privately working towards the creation of an agreement about raising their child for some time,” Glicklich posted. “We are waiting for Elon to publicly acknowledge his parental role with Ashley, to end unwarranted speculation, and Ashley trusts that Elon intends to finish their agreement quickly, in the best interests of the wellbeing and security of the child they share.”

Elon Musk, already a father of 12 with three different women, has not publicly confirmed St Clair’s assertion.

The Tesla and SpaceX CEO is known for embracing fatherhood, often discussing his views on population growth and the importance of having large families.

The situation marks yet another chapter in Musk’s widely scrutinized personal life, which has frequently played out in public view. While he has not disputed St Clair’s claims outright, his brief reaction leaves more questions than answers about their relationship and the child.

Chris Rock Turns 60 With Star-Studded Birthday Bash

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

Chris Rock rang in his 60th birthday surrounded by an array of A-listers, who gathered at the exclusive Crane Club in New York City to celebrate the milestone.

The legendary comedian, who reached the big 6-0 earlier this month, pulled out all the stops for a lavish night of revelry in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood.

The guest list read like a Hollywood Walk of Fame. Cher, accompanied by her rapper boyfriend Alexander “AE” Edwards, made a grand entrance, turning heads as she arrived at the high-profile soirée.

Madonna, never one to shy away from a spectacle, entered on the arm of soccer player Akeem Morris, her rumored boy toy since last year, whom she married in 2022.

The evening’s lineup of attendees only got more impressive. Comedy powerhouse Amy Schumer was spotted making her way inside, while Tom Hanks and wife Rita Wilson brought an extra touch of Hollywood prestige. Jerry Seinfeld, known for his wit as sharp as ever, also made an appearance.

Zooey Deschanel, Kim Kardashian and her ex-boyfriend Pete Davidson rounded out the mix of comedians, actors and music legends converging to honor Rock.

Chris Rock’s celebration doubled as a warm-up for another major event—his much-anticipated appearance on SNL 50: The Anniversary Special, which aired at 8 p.m. ET on Sunday (February 16).

Rock, who was a cast member on Saturday Night Live from 1990 to 1993, paired with his breakout role as a crack addict in New Jack City, helped skyrocket him into mainstream stardom.

Guess Where Kansas City Chiefs Will Send Their Losing Super Bowl Swag?

By: Houston WilliamsCategory: Rumors

This is a wild one. Every year, the heartbreak of a Super Bowl loss isn’t just felt by the players and the die-hard fans, it’s also stitched into thousands of t-shirts, hoodies and hats that will never see the light of day in America. That’s right, in an alternate universe, Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs just hoisted that Lombardi Trophy, but only if you’re looking at the merch.

As usual, all that championship gear for the losing team has to go somewhere. Historically, most of it gets shipped to parts of Africa and other regions where people are in need of clothing. This year, the Chiefs’ almost victory swag is reportedly headed straight to Uganda. Now, let’s be real—while it’s great that people in need are getting new clothes, isn’t it just a little tragic that they’re being dressed as losers? Ugandans are winners!

Why not just send them some Eagles gear instead? And honestly, that’s the real conversation we need to be having. If we’re going to outfit an entire nation, shouldn’t it be in the name of winners? Why not celebrate the Philadelphia Eagles’ undeniable greatness with a global fashion statement? I say, let’s mass-produce Eagles merch and send it all over the world—Africa, Asia, Europe—everywhere. Imagine the entire continent rocking Jalen Hurts jerseys, a global testament to perseverance, resilience, and a team that represents the best in humanity! Can you tell I am an Eagles fan?

By the way, The Chiefs’ Travis Kelce has some decisions to make. Word on the block is he may be considering retirement.  I think he may go so that they can make room for a younger, cheaper talent. One has to wonder—will Kansas City make tough decisions to come back stronger next year? The pressure isn’t going away and neither are the Eagles.

As for my people in Uganda, draped in Chiefs gear, I pray the gear does you well.

Fly Eagles Fly!

Drake Will Make History Headlining UK’s Wireless Festival Three Nights Straight

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Drake will make history at the Wireless Festival in London, becoming the first artist to headline all three nights when the event returns to Finsbury Park from July 11-13, 2025.

The festival, marking its 20th anniversary, will feature the Canadian rapper delivering a fresh set each night, complete with an array of special guests.

The opening night will see Drake joined by longtime collaborator PartyNextDoor and R&B powerhouse Summer Walker.

Saturday’s performance will feature The Mandem, while the grand finale on Sunday will feature Nigerian Afrobeats star Burna Boy and dancehall icon Vybz Kartel.

The announcement is a major moment for Drake’s relationship with the UK, a connection he has long embraced both musically and culturally.

Teasers for the event include quintessential London imagery interspersed with his signature OVO owl logo, signaling a triumphant return to British soil.

Tickets for the festival go on sale February 19 at noon GMT, with demand expected to be overwhelming given both the milestone anniversary and Drake’s unprecedented triple-night billing.

Wireless Festival has firmly established itself as a premier event for Hip-Hop, R&B, and grime that draws thousands to the heart of London each year.

The 2024 edition featured heavyweight names like Nicki Minaj, Future, 21 Savage, J Hus, and Doja Cat, along with Ice Spice, Asake, Rema, Gunna, Sean Paul and Sexyy Red.

Was Cardi B Doing Post-Valentine’s Day Walk Of Shame With Stefon Diggs?

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: Rumors

Cardi B and NFL wide receiver Stefon Diggs continue to spark romance rumors after the two were spotted at a Miami hotel early Saturday morning (February 15).

In video obtained by TMZ, the couple returned to the hotel around 1:54 am local time, presumably after spending Valentine’s Day together. Cardi is dressed in a form-fitting dress while Diggs is sporting all red, and she appears to be a little off balance. For a minute, it looks like she’s looking for something she possibly dropped in the car, but it’s unclear what is being said.

The clip comes days after they were spotted at New York City nightclub. Not long after the chatter started on social media, Cardi’s estranged husband, Offset, began firing off venomous tweets aimed at the mother of his children.

In a series of since-deleted posts, the Migos rapper once again accused Cardi B of cheating and suggested at least one of their three children doesn’t belong to him.

“We sharing,” he began. “Blood test. Butch been cheating since 2019. I ain’t tell when u did [rat emoji]. Tommy n Sammy. My new b#### badder. Had u last week by the way.”

Fans quickly suggested Offset was envious of her latest single, “Toot It Up” with Pardison Fontaine, while others simply assumed he’s another “bitter baby daddy” and bothered by the photos of her with Diggs floating around the internet.

In September 2024, shortly after announcing she’d filed for divorce,  Cardi opened about what led to the split in a livestream.

“I’m too much woman for you. … And I’ve always been too good for you. Nothing surprises me anymore. You’ve done it all, so I don’t care. Thank you for my kids, though. All three of them, I don’t regret none of them. But I regret you. I don’t regret my kids; you’re a good daddy. You’re all right.”

Offset and Cardi B’s split has been anything but amicable. Since initially announcing the breakup in August 2024, they regularly argue on social media, allowing fans a look into their toxic relationship.

By all appearances, it seems Cardi has finally moved on.

Q-Unique Teams Up With Former Korn Keyboardist For Boom Bap Anthem “It’s Not Over”

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: Music

Brooklyn-bred lyricist Q-Unique is making a triumphant return with his latest single, “It’s Not Over,” a collaboration with former Korn keyboardist Zac Baird that masterfully fuses classical musicianship with raw, unapologetic Hip-Hop. The track, released via Viper Records, finds Q-Unique reinvigorated, delivering sharp, observant punchlines over Baird’s hauntingly beautiful piano and upright bass arrangements.

The song’s creation stems from a pivotal moment in Q-Unique’s career, when he found himself at a crossroads, questioning whether to continue his journey in music. A crucial pep talk from Korn’s bassist, Fieldy, became the catalyst for his resurgence.

“One of my best friends, Fieldy, told me that what I did as Q-Unique was too important to bring to an end,” the rapper revealed. “This encouraged and reinvigorated me to start a brand-new chapter.”

That new chapter includes a bold sonic evolution, drawing influence from artists like Tyler, the Creator and Kendrick Lamar while staying rooted in his signature boom bap foundation. With Zac Baird’s classical training providing an eerie yet elegant backdrop and renowned producer Scot Stalone handling the mix and additional musical contributions, “It’s Not Over” captures a perfect balance between grit and sophistication.

Don’t call it a comeback. Q-Unique is proving that Hip-Hop’s core elements can continue evolving while keeping their essence intact.

“Rap Attack” Founder Nasty Nes—Credited With Discovering Sir Mix-A-Lot—Dies

By: Kyle EusticeCategory: News

Rap Attack founder Nasty Nes has died. According to a Facebook post from his wife, Llola Rodriguez, he passed away on Saturday (February 15). No cause of death was given.

“With deep sadness, it is with a heavy heart that I share the passing of my beloved husband Nes Rodriguez yesterday, February 15, 2025,” she wrote. “This loss is immeasurable, and right now, I am taking the time to grieve and process this profound change. In the near future, we will share more details to honor and remember his life, but for now, I kindly ask for privacy as I navigate this difficult time. Thank you for your love, support and understanding.”

Nasty Nes’ death comes five months after his family launched a GoFundMe to help with his medical crisis. As they wrote in the description at the time, “Nes is currently battling a series of severe health issues and was hospitalized. He has recently suffered from pneumonia, a heart attack, kidney failure, sepsis, and UTI and is in the process of relearning how to walk.

“His recovery will necessitate extensive physical therapy, as well as a wheelchair or scooter for mobility, specialized rehabilitation, rest, financial strain of his medical care, combined with high living costs and inadequate health insurance, has placed him in a precarious position.”

I’m in my early 60’s. My recovery hospitalization ended late November, but I had more medical complications after being released on November 26th that caused me to be readmitted to the ER.

“Captain America: Brave New World” Is Super Safe, Classic Family Flick

By: Chuck Creekmur (@ChuckCreekmur)Category: Features

Captain America: Brave New World is finally here, amid some controversy, but how is the movie? Chris “C-Boogie” Brown has the low down.

Captain America: Brave New World, the latest Marvel Cinematic Universe entry directed by Julius Onah (“The Cloverfield Paradox”), stars Anthony Mackie as the new Captain America, continuing Sam Wilson’s journey in the MCU.

The story follows Sam Wilson, who’s now working with the U.S. Government on covert missions. When newly elected President Thaddeus Ross asks him to help revive the Avengers initiative, an assassination attempt throws everything into chaos. Alongside his apprentice Joaquin Torres, Sam must uncover a conspiracy that threatens to ignite a global conflict.

The two-hour film delivers a solid mix of espionage, mystery, and political intrigue, punctuated by dynamic action sequences. It not only advances the current storyline but also cleverly ties up loose ends from previous films, including connections to 2008’s The Incredible Hulk.

The movie feels like a natural evolution from the excellent “Falcon and Winter Soldier” series (2021). Like the show, it thoughtfully explores Sam Wilson’s challenges as Captain America without the advantage of Super Soldier Serum. Fans of the series will likely find themselves right at home here.

The ensemble cast delivers strong performances across the board. Carl Lumbly returns with gravitas as Isaiah Bradley, while Giancarlo Esposito makes the most of his limited screen time as Striker. Harrison Ford brings his characteristic intensity to President Ross, but it’s Anthony Mackie who truly shines. His portrayal of Sam Wilson showcases a perfect blend of confidence, self-awareness, and charisma, making him a compelling successor to the shield.

Julius Onah’s direction, while occasionally showing inexperience with large-scale action, proves largely effective. The finale featuring Sam Wilson facing off against the Red Hulk stands as the film’s visual highlight. It’s refreshing to see a properly “RAGING” Hulk causing havoc on screen again!

The film does have its shortcomings. The plot occasionally gets bogged down in exposition, explaining MCU events for newcomers. With three antagonists and five writers involved, certain story elements feel overcomplicated. One antagonist’s visual design falls short, and some reshoots are noticeably apparent, creating slightly jarring transitions.

Despite these flaws, Captain America: Brave New World remains an entertaining addition to the MCU. While it may not reach the heights of “The Winter Soldier” (2014), it successfully captures a similar tone and delivers a satisfying superhero experience. If you’ve enjoyed Sam Wilson’s character development throughout the MCU, particularly in “Falcon and Winter Soldier,” the debut solo outing as Captain America is worth your time.

Captain America: Brave New World is now playing in theaters everywhere. 3.5 out of 5

Thin Lizzo: Singer Sparks Debate After Saying “Bye B####” To Her Old Self

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

Lizzo shocked her followers over the weekend by unveiling a noticeably slimmer figure in an attention-grabbing Instagram video, where she spray-painted the words “Bye B####” over an image of herself from her Special album cover.

Captioning the post “End of an era,” the Grammy-winning artist signaled a major transformation, sparking a wave of emotions across her fanbase.

Lizzo, long celebrated as a champion of body positivity, has been open about her health evolution. She has attributed her weight loss to a disciplined regime of calorie deficit, a high-protein diet, and strength training.

Lizzo firmly denied speculation that she used GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, with her trainer backing her assertion that her progress was the result of sheer hard work.

A shift in her diet also played a crucial role. After years of veganism, Lizzo transitioned to an eating plan that includes animal-based protein, which she says improved her energy levels, mental clarity, and ability to lose weight.

In January 2025, she revealed she had hit her goal, reducing her BMI by 10.5 points and shedding 16% of her body fat over two years. Known for her unapologetic embrace of self-love, Lizzo has acknowledged a shift in her perspective on body image.

She previously expressed frustration with how the body positivity movement has, in her words, been “commercialized” and “appropriated,” particularly by slimmer, white influencers.

Now, she is focusing on “body neutrality,” a philosophy that encourages people to see their physical forms as just one part of their identity, without fixation on appearance.

A post shared by Lizzo (@lizzobeeating)

Lizzo’s journey has been at the heart of her creative ventures, from her reality show Lizzo’s Watch Out for the Big Grrrls to her shapewear brand Yitty, both of which promote inclusivity.

But with a growing weariness of conversations about her body dominating the narrative, her latest transformation appears to send a clear message:

The reaction online was immediate and deeply personal.

“Makes me feel kinda sad. That version of Lizzo definitely brought me so much joy and inspiration. Look forward to seeing what you have coming,” one commenter wrote. Another added, “The old you is what motivated women to love themselves.”

Others stood in full support of her journey, with one reply reading, “Look at you!! Stand tall and STRUT that health and beautiful pride. Your SOUL looks lighter, too.”

Drake Has Beef—But This Time, He’s Paid For It

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

Drake turned Valentine’s Day dinner into an unforgettable experience for dozens of unsuspecting diners after quietly covering their bills at Juliet Steakhouse in Houston.

The Hip-Hop superstar, joined by longtime collaborator PartyNextDoor, marked the release of their joint album $ome $exy $ongs 4 U by treating more than half of the restaurant’s patrons to a lavish meal on the house.

A representative from Juliet Steakhouse confirmed that Drake’s team coordinated the generous gesture in advance, ensuring the surprise unfolded seamlessly.

The rapper, a frequent guest at the upscale steakhouse and has hosted events there before, left customers stunned as staff informed them that their meals had been covered by none other than Drake himself.

Some took to social media to express their gratitude, sharing photos and thanking the Grammy-winning artist for turning an ordinary night out into something extraordinary.

Drake and PartyNextDoor have plenty of reasons to celebrate. Their collaborative 21-track album, released under OVO Sound, Santa Anna, and Republic Records, has rapidly climbed the charts.

$ome $exy $ongs 4 U shattered streaming records upon release, boasting 56.6 million first-day streams on Spotify alone and claiming the title of the biggest first-day R&B/Soul album debut in Apple Music history.

Within hours, the album reached No. 1 in 72 countries on Apple Music, with standout tracks such as “Gimme Me A Hug” and “CN Tower” dominating the platform’s Top Songs chart.

According to social media chatter, Houston was not the only city where Drake and PartyNextDoor spread their generosity.

Tupac Shakur’s Murder Suspect Offers Up New Legal Strategy

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

The gangster accused of orchestrating the 1996 killing of Hip-Hop icon Tupac Shakur, has a new argument to prove his innocence and is asking to have his murder trial delayed.

Lawyers for Duane “Keefe D” Davis claim a new private investigator has uncovered evidence that will prove their client was not in Las Vegas when Tupac Shakur was shot on September 7, 1996, on the Las Vegas Strip.

His lawyers also claim to have proof that Suge Knight’s former Head of Security, Reggie Wright Jr., orchestrated the killing of Tupac.

During an interview in January, Davis’ lawyer, Carl Arnold, expressed confidence in his client’s prospects, hinting at an acquittal.

Davis, in past interviews and his own memoir, admitted to being in the Cadillac used in the shooting and claimed he handed the gun to the backseat, where His nephew Orlando Anderson allegedly fired the fatal shots.

Anderson, who maintained his innocence, was killed in an unrelated shooting in 1998.

“The law states the accused cannot be convicted solely on the basis of his confession,” Arnold told News 3. “The State must produce evidence that corroborates the confession and that evidence must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Moreover, the public has been well aware of a myriad of reasons why an accused will confess to a crime.”

Davis has remained behind bars at the Clark County Detention Center since his arrest in September of 2024.

A judge previously set his bail at $750,000, but concerns about the source of funding led to skepticism from the court. Prosecutors alleged that misleading information may have been submitted to secure Davis’ release, prompting the judge to deny bond for a second time.

Davis, known as a former Los Angeles gang figure, has long been linked to Pac’s killing. Authorities say he played a critical role in setting up the drive-by shooting that took place.

Tupac Shakur, 25, was struck multiple times while riding in a BMW with Death Row Records CEO Suge Knight and died six days later.

The attack, law enforcement officials believe, was carried out as retaliation for a casino brawl involving Shakur, Knight and Orlando Anderson, also a member of the Southside Crips. Davis’ arrest in 2023 marked a significant turning point in a case that had frustrated investigators for decades.

Despite public admissions about his involvement, authorities struggled to piece together enough evidence to bring charges until Davis gave incriminating interviews claiming he was offered money by Sean “Diddy” Combs, but never received payment.

Cesar Pina Hit With 4PM Curfew; Barred From Selling Real Estate While Awaiting Sentencing

By: Nolan StrongCategory: News

Wanna be mogul Cesar Pina must stay home after 4 p.m. each day and is barred from making any real estate transactions as he awaits sentencing in a federal fraud case.

A judge imposed the new restrictions earlier this week, tightening the terms of Pina’s pretrial release as prosecutors scrutinize his financial activities.

The updated conditions mean Cesar Pina can only leave his residence between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. unless granted special permission by pretrial services. He will also remain under electronic monitoring and location tracking.

Pina, who pleaded not guilty to wire fraud charges, is accused of orchestrating a Ponzi-like scheme that allegedly scammed investors out of tens of millions through fraudulent real estate deals.

Prosecutors say he lured victims in by promoting investment opportunities through real estate seminars alongside DJ Envy, a popular radio personality. DJ Envy has not been charged with any crimes.

Authorities claim Pina promised lucrative returns—ranging from 20% to 45% within five months—but instead used funds from new investors to pay off earlier participants, a hallmark of a classic Ponzi scheme.

His arrest in October 2023 sent shockwaves through investor circles, with numerous victims coming forward to claim they had been misled and defrauded.

As part of his modified bail terms, Pina is allowed to handle some property management duties, including rent collection, property inspections, and meetings with tenants, vendors, and contractors.

However, he cannot buy, sell, transfer, finance, or encumber any real estate. The only exception is if his wife acts independently on transactions that do not involve his direction or benefit.

Pina is also required to submit a financial disclosure statement by March 7, detailing his current assets and income, a move likely aimed at ensuring transparency as the government continues investigating his finances.

These tightened restrictions may stem from concerns over Pina’s compliance with previous bail conditions. Pina was released on a $1 million bond following his arrest.

He is currently negotiating a plea deal with federal prosecutors.

Anthony Mackie Took On “Captain America,” Now He’s Taking On Robert Downey Jr.

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Anthony Mackie is ready for battle after stepping into the role of Captain America in Avengers: Doomsday, and this time, he’s taking on none other than Robert Downey Jr.

The actor, who officially debuted as the shield-wielding superhero in Captain America: Brave New World, revealed that filming for the highly anticipated Avengers installment is set to begin in March or April.

Downey Jr., known for his portrayal of Tony Stark/Iron Man, is returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe with a dramatic twist—as the infamous Doctor Doom.

Anthony Mackie shared his excitement about the cinematic showdown in an interview with Deadline, saying he’s thrilled to face off against the Hollywood icon in an entirely new dynamic.

“RDJ made the big announcement that he’s coming back. Other than him I don’t know who of the original crew will be coming back, but I know he will be,” Mackie said. “I’m excited to be able to go to work with him, go toe to toe with him. That’s a once-in-a-career experience that’s as amazing as working with Harrison Ford, because he’s a legend.”

Mackie previously teamed up with Downey Jr. when their characters fought alongside each other in previous MCU films. This time, however, the two will be on opposite sides, adding another layer of intensity to the story.

While Avengers: Doomsday remains shrouded in secrecy, its production schedule is set. Mackie confirmed that filming will take place in London this summer, with Avengers: Secret Wars following a year later.

However, when it comes to which Avengers veterans might return, he insisted he’s just as in the dark as everyone else.

“I don’t know how many are coming back,” he continued. “I’m the OG now. I’m the only guy. I’m the Avenger from the old group that brings in the new group. So it’ll be a changing of the guard.”

The next two Avengers films will be directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, the minds behind Avengers: Endgame, which saw the emotional farewell of Downey Jr.’s Iron Man and the passing of the Captain America title from Chris Evans’s Steve Rogers to Mackie’s Sam Wilson.

Now, Mackie leads a new era of heroes, and with Downey Jr. stepping into one of Marvel’s most feared villain roles, the stage is set for a high-stakes clash that could redefine the next chapter of the MCU.

Donald Trump Is One Proud Felon: Hangs Mugshot In White House

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

President Donald Trump has given his infamous Fulton County mugshot a place of prominence, hanging a framed copy of the New York Post front page featuring the booking photo in a hallway just outside the Oval Office.

The image, snapped on August 24, 2023, at the Fulton County Jail in Georgia, the image stems from Trump’s surrender on racketeering and conspiracy charges related to his alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in the state.

Now encased in an ornate gold frame, the defiant glare immortalized in the historic mugshot sits among portraits of past presidents, including George Washington and Franklin D. Roosevelt, in one of the White House’s most high-traffic corridors.

The framed newspaper cover was first spotted during President Donald Trump’s February 13 meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

White House aide Margo Martin later shared a photo of the display on social media, an apparent nod to the former president’s embrace of the controversial image.

Trump’s campaign has capitalized on the mugshot, using it on merchandise to fuel fundraising efforts.

The stark image, a historical first for any U.S. president, quickly became a rallying symbol for his supporters and a source of heated political debate.

The Georgia case, which originally saw Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis leading the prosecution, has hit a roadblock, as she was disqualified from overseeing the case.

No replacement prosecutor has been assigned. Meanwhile, four of Trump’s co-defendants have accepted plea deals.

By: illseedCategory: Exclusives

Does Remy Ma want her hubby back?

Yo! What it do, man? we got some carbonated tea and it’s bubbling over. So let’s get right into it.

Word on the street is that Remy Ma might just be having second thoughts about stepping away from Papoose. Yeah, yeah, we all know the drama, the back-and-forth, and the alleged entanglements, but check this out. “Sources” say Remy been sending some ahem explicit pics to her still-legal husband Papoose. Apparently and allegedly, she wants to remind him of what they once had.

These pics are apparently fully bucket nekked. Before you get crazy, Remy has been hot and has revealed some of her goodies, but not thee goodies.

Pap held Remy down for years. This man was the definition of loyalty. He rode for her! But now? It’s looking like tables turned, and Remy might just be realizing that what she had was rare. Damn! Black Love, y’all!

Clarissa Shields. Y’all know the boxing champ, right? Well, the rumor mill is saying this is rooted in the boxer getting her man. Makes sense. It hits different when brother is happy with “her.”

There is another side. Eazy The Block Captain’s name is still floating around. It’s getting real ugly. “Sources” say he might be pillow-talking, leaking info, and might’ve even been recording conversations with Remy. I guess he needs some insurance – just in case things went left. I hope he does not play himself!

They might be over, because if a shred of this is true, we are going to see a mess bigger than the last mess they made. Is Easy shopping around some dirt on Remy? Is Tasha K trying to buy? Oh there are even more questions that I cannot even put out there right now.

If these rumors are true, Remy might be ready to spin the block and fix things with Pap. Pap is still her husband in the eyes of the law. could he have a weak spot for her? If I had to guess, I think he is going to go with the fighter, not the shooter!

“I was obviously selling weed, but I was using the money to book studio time at Patchwerk, which is like a renowned studio in Atlanta that’s owned by one of the ex-Falcons players. Everybody would be in there, you know, that’s where people went. And so I was in like a little B room and Baby (Birdman) and them from Cash Money were in the A room—30 Cash Money dudes, whatever, whatever. So somebody came to me and said, ‘Hey, them boys next door need some weed.'”

2 Chainz explained that things got sticky when he agreed to provide them with weed but wasn’t immediately paid for it.

“They take my weed,” he recalled. “I’m telling them, I think the zips was like $450 at the time, you know what I’m saying? I take, I give them the zips. Don’t no money come.”

As he continued, 2 Chainz revealed that he opted to take a road trip with Cash Money to ensure his temporary loss wouldn’t turn permanent.

“I ain’t in that position to give no weed away,” he said. “So I ended up going to New Orleans with them, following them about this $900.”

His trip to New Orleans led to an unforgettable experience staying in a mansion full of Cash Money affiliates, which eventually led to his first encounter with Lil Wayne.

“They had a mansion for everybody. Then everybody had their own mansion, right? And I’m staying in the mansion for everybody. They got a big jacuzzi as a living room sofa. This is many years ago. And at this point, I’m not a full rapper. I’m a trapper. And one day Wayne comes over and we go out in like the indoor pool and we smoked some gas together. You know what I’m saying? And that’s how I met Wayne, following Baby to New Orleans about these $900 that he eventually did pay back.”

Elsewhere in the interview, 2 Chainz also addressed Kendrick Lamar name-dropping him on “Not Like Us” where Kendrick referenced him in a line about Drake conning Atlanta rap artists. The “Mercy” rapper downplayed the mention, revealing he’s under the belief it was more about wordplay than a direct shot at him.

“I just think it was kind of like some wordplay cause Drake and I got a song called ‘No Lie’,” he said. “And so when he said he lied, I just felt like, I don’t know, but I didn’t take it as no kind of way. I don’t think he was taking a shot at me.”

Check out the clip of 2 Chainz detailing his reaction to Kendrick’s “Not Like Us” in the post below.
