By: Devon Jefferson Updated Category: Rumors

Drake’s social media activity has become a major source of agitation in his ongoing rap beef with multiple artists and the latest fan theory looks to entangle producers into the mix.

In addition to Metro Boomin, BNYX could be injected into the mix currently being stirred by artists such as Future, Rick Ross and Kanye West, who are attempting to stick a fork in Drake to ensure he’s done for! Well at-least that’s what this Twitter (X) user’s theory appears to suggest, based on the news of BNYX’s new partnership deal with Zack Bia’s Field Trip Recordings imprint and Capitol Records.

Multiple artists, including Yeat himself showed their support to BNYX in the comments section of the Instagram post he shared announcing the news.

“LYFESTYLER… … CEO,” Yeat wrote in his comment while Zack Bia wrote, “BIGTIMESTYLER.”

But somehow, a simple like on the post from Drake seemed to overshadow the post as users literally began reaching for reasons as to why Drizzy’s support could be considered as him throwing shade at Metro. In fact, Instagram users literally drug snatched a screenshot of Drake’s like on the post and re-shared it on Twitter (X) for the sole purpose of instigating.

“Drake about to replace Metro with BNYX [Crying laughing emojis],” one user wrote in a tweet with the picture.

Of course, all hell broke loose almost immediately as users began arguing point-for-point why or why this was even relevant to the ongoing beef between Drake and Metro, and pretty much every other major rapper.

“BNYX way better than Metro anyway,” one user argued while another countered by writing, “Metro one of a kind respectfully.”

There could be some actual validity to this wild claim, considering the fact that BNYX and Drake have been building up a great deal of creative chemistry within the last year, give or take. Not only did BNYX produce Drizzy’s viral “Search & Rescue” but he also cooked up Travis Scott’s UTOPIA banger “MELTDOWN” and also crafted Drake’s For All The Dogs album cut “IDGAF.” It should be, at minimum, safe to say that a new collaboration could be on the way, considering BNYX confirmed he has a new album on the way along with the news of his partnership deal.

Anyways, check out BNYX’s full post above.

Jeezy Accused Of Abusing Jeannie Mai – Rapper Responds

Jeezy denied domestic violence allegations on Thursday (April 25). The 46-year-old rapper released a statement after reports revealed his estranged wife Jeannie Mai accused him of abusing her in their contentious divorce proceedings.

“The allegations are not only false but also deeply disturbing, especially coming from someone I loved,” Jeezy said. “This malicious attempt to tarnish my character and disrupt my family is ridiculous. It’s disheartening to witness the manipulation and deceit at play and at this time my main concern is being an active father to our daughter as I continue to fight for court-mandated joint custody. Rest assured, the truth will prevail through the proper legal channels.”

Jeannie claimed Jeezy hit her three weeks after she gave birth to their daughter Monaco, who was born in January 2022. Jeezy allegedly told a driver to step out of their car before berating his wife, telling her “I can’t wait to divorce you when we get back.” Jeannie said Jeezy held her against her in the vehicle. He allegedly struck her with a closed fist when she attempted to get out of the car.

Jeezy’s estranged wife said he choked her and pushed her down the stairs at a San Francisco hotel in April 2022. According to her, the incident caught the attention of hotel security. They offered her protection after she told them she “felt unsafe.”

Jeannie’s court documents disclosed an abusive incident at the 39th Annual UNCF Atlanta Mayor’s Masked Ball in December 2022. Jeezy allegedly berated her again inside a car after asking a driver to step out of the vehicle. Jeannie said her husband grabbed the neckline of her dress when she tried to get away from him. He tore the dress and left her with multiple scratches on her right breast.

The alleged domestic violence was reported to a pastor and therapist. Jeannie also mentioned the abuse to a close friend.

Jeezy and Jeannie’s two-year marriage ended when he filed for divorce in 2023. Earlier this year, he asked for full custody of their daughter. He recently revised his request to seek shared custody.

Drake’s “Rich Baby Daddy” Lucian Grainge Seeks Dismissal From Lil Rod’s Diddy Lawsuit

By: Justin Ivey Updated Category: News

Universal Music Group CEO Lucian Grainge, the man dubbed Drake’s “rich baby daddy” by Kanye West, sought his removal from Lil Rod’s explosive lawsuit against Sean “Diddy” Combs. Attorneys representing Grainge, UMG and Motown Records filed a motion to be dismissed from the case on Wednesday (April 24).

“All of the claims against Grainge, Motown and UMG Recordings (the ‘UMG Defendants’) in the [second amended complaint] are lacking in any legally cognizable basis,” lawyers argued, per court documents. “Every claim is premised on the untenable strict liability theory that when one enters into a commercial contract, the payor under that contract becomes liable for anything that the recipient of payment does with the payment. There is no law underpinning such theory and the baseless ‘general business partnership’ allegation in the [second amended complaint] provides no support. The claims against the UMG Defendants are entirely bereft of legal merit and should be dismissed with prejudice.”

Lil Rod accused Diddy of sexual assault and sex trafficking, among other shocking allegations. The lawsuit linked Grainge to Diddy’s alleged misdeeds, claiming Grainge aided and abetted Diddy’s criminal activity. Grainge’s lawyers said Lil Rod’s accusations against the UMG boss were baseless.

“Plaintiff and his counsel (Blackburn) have blown up a $50,000 claim for underpayment for production services into criminal accusations against Sean Combs and his associates,” attorneys wrote. “Not content to pursue Combs alone, without any factual or legal basis, Plaintiff and his counsel (Blackburn) have also improperly accused Grainge, UMG Recordings and Motown (collectively, the UMG Defendants) of furthering, participating in, and helping to conceal the alleged conduct of Combs and his associates based on a knowingly false ‘general business partnership’ allegation coupled with the fabrication of a non-existent duty to supervise and control how Combs spent his own money.”

Grainge, UMG and Motown asked a New York judge to dismiss all claims against them with prejudice. They await the judge’s ruling.

Travis Scott Loses Bid For Dismissal From Astroworld Tragedy Lawsuits

By: Justin Ivey Updated Category: News

A Texas judge denied Travis Scott’s motion to be dismissed from lawsuits over the Astroworld tragedy. According to Billboard, Judge Kristen Hawkins provided no written explanation for her rejection of the motion.

Judge Hawkins previously dismissed Drake and others from the Astroworld litigation. The judge removed two more defendants, Tri Star Sports & Entertainment Group and Unified Command LLC, less than two weeks before the first trial.

Scott’s lawyers filed a motion for dismissal in March. His legal team claimed he was not responsible for the chaos at the 2021 Astroworld Festival, which left 10 people dead and hundreds injured.

“No one disputes that tragedy struck the Astroworld Festival,” his attorneys argued. “But promoting and performing at a concert do not equate to the power to control a crowd or to design a venue safely. Basic tort principles prevent imposing liability on the Scott Defendants for a tragedy arising from forces legally controlled by others.”

They added, “Performing artists, even those who engage in certain promotional activities, have no inherent expertise or specialized knowledge in concert safety measures, venue security protocols or site design.”

Scott’s legal team failed to convince the judge, leaving him on the hook for civil litigation. Live Nation and Apple Music were among the notable defendants remaining in the Astroworld cases.

The first trial is scheduled to begin on May 6. Scott and his co-defendants will defend themselves against wrongful death claims filed by the family of Madison Dubiski, a 23-year-old woman who died at the Astroworld Festival. Noah Wexler, the attorney representing the victim’s family, said Scott had a “conscious disregard for safety.”

Dubiski’s family was one of multiple plaintiffs suing Scott for his role in the Astroworld tragedy. The Epic Records artist avoided criminal charges for the deadly event. A grand jury declined to indict him in 2023.

USHER Reveals Teen Son Stole His Phone To DM PinkPantheress

USHER recently took to Instagram Stories to reveal how his 15-year-old son, Naviyd Raymond, linked up with PinkPantheress. The interaction between the teenager and the pop star started with a direct message from his dad’s account.

“So, a week or so ago my son, Naviyd, stole my phone so he could [direct message] his favorite artist @pinkpantheress,” the 8x-Grammy Award winner wrote.

USHER added, “Now I just so happened to check my DMs earlier this past week and saw a message exchange from someone with a Powerpuff girl as their profile pic. So I’m like the hell is this.”

The father of four then explained how he discovered that Naviyd messaged  PinkPantheress on Instagram. USHER eventually reached out to the “Boy’s a Liar Pt. 2” hitmaker to apologize, which led to her inviting the family to one of her shows.

“But because he did the MOST just to connect with her on my account… I had to act like he wasn’t allowed to go,” USHER stated. “BUT… because my son is such a fan of her artistry… I decided to let him go.”

USHER also shared a photo of Naviyd Eli Raymond with PinkPantheress. Will Naviyd’s sneaking tactic to meet the British singer lead to her collaborating with his dad?

Hip-Hop: Is Kendrick “The New Rosa Parks” With Drake Beef?

By: illseed Updated Category: Exclusives

We May Have To Accept Dot May Not Respond to Drizzy

Yo, the streets are buzzing like a hive of killer bees, and the word is Kendrick Lamar might’ve let his window to check Drake slip by. After Drake and J. Cole caught some heat on a track on that Future and Metro Boomin song Kendrick’s been ghost—no clap back, nothing.

Amidst this chatter, someone close to the scene I heard from directly called Kendrick “the Rosa Parks of Hip-Hop!” What? They compared his initial DISS to that monumental move Rosa made in the civil rights era. How?! Now, while I have nothing but respect for Mrs. Parks and know she never really stepped back from the fight, the comparison suggests Kendrick sparked something big in the game and then just jumped back into the shadows.

Since this all kicked off, Kendrick’s been completely MIA. Meanwhile, J. Cole just dropped a whole album (minus that track at this point) and Rick Ross threw some shade at Drake in his latest drop. Drake, not one to sit quiet, has already fired back—twice. Pac’s family was not feeling Drake’s use of A.I. but that’s another story – click here. At the end of the day, it’s turned into a Hip-Hop royal rumble, but Kendrick? Still silent.

Word on the street is that K-Dot might be laying low, waiting for the perfect moment to strike—maybe lining it up with an album drop or just doing it on his terms, without the pressure. Or maybe—he’ll keep his mouth zipped for good. This wouldn’t be the first time Kendrick pulled a move like this. Remember “Control”? Dropped those bars on a Big Sean song and then peace’d out, leaving everyone in disarray!

Come on, Kendrick! I want some alien voices!

Is this just another strategic play? Did Drake swing at the air, waiting for a hit that’s not coming? With Drake usually brushing off rap challenges and now facing legal noise from the Tupac Shakur estate, things are getting messy.

As the clock ticks, anticipation’s building. Rick Ross earned some stripes for hitting back at Drake quickly, even dropping a new video. But the longer Kendrick stays quiet, the louder that silence gets. Is he gonna step up, or is his silence the ultimate statement?

What’s your read on this drama? Let’s hear it!

Iranian Rapper Toomaj Salehi Sentenced To Death For “Corruption On Earth”

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY) Updated Category: News

An Iranian court sentenced Toomaj Salehi to death on Wednesday (April 24) after authorities arrested the 33-year-old rapper in 2022 for supporting nationwide protests.

“The primary court sentenced Toomaj Salehi to the harshest punishment, death, on the charge of ‘corruption on Earth,'” Salehi’s lawyer, Amir Raesian, stated in response to the Islamic Republic Revolution Court of Isfahan’s ruling. Salehi’s legal team plans to appeal the decision.

Salehi faced punishment from the Iranian government after supporting the 2022 demonstrations on behalf of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman who died in police custody. Amini opposed the country’s mandatory hijab laws.

Iran’s security forces also arrested Toomaj Salehi in September 2021 for allegedly promoting “propaganda against the regime” and “insulting the supreme leadership authority.”

Toomaj Salehi used his music to criticize the Iranian leadership. Songs, such as the “Torkamanchay” track, often focused on corruption in the theocratic government and the regime’s suppression of dissent. Iranian pop singer, Mehdi Yarrahi, called for the unconditional release of his “brother” on X.

Trippie Redd Names Drake’s “Back To Back” As G.O.A.T. Diss Song

Many rap fans have been engrossed with the multiple disses that have emerged recently. But what is the greatest diss song of all time? According to Trippie Redd, a Canadian superstar put out the best diss in rap history.

Ohio natives Trippie Redd and Machine Gun Kelly appeared on Complex’s GOAT Talk series. The Genre: Sadboy EP collaborators had to give their personal G.O.A.T. diss song during the conversation.

MGK implied his “Rap Devil” track aimed at Eminem as his answer. After laughing at his musical partner, Trippie said, “I like the ‘Back to Back’ s###. That was hard.” Drake dropped “Back to Back” in 2015 to diss then-rival Meek Mill.

Trippie Redd named Young Thug as the G.O.A.T. rapper, while Machine Gun Kelly shouted out Drake’s Young Money mentor, Lil Wayne, as the greatest rapper to ever pick up a microphone.

Machine Gun Kelly’s feud with Eminem included a few different response records from both rappers, including MGK’s “Rap Devil and Em’s “Killshot.” The Cleveland-bred entertainer also had a public issue with G-Eazy.

Trippie Redd infamously beefed with 6ix9ine. There were reports of violence involving the 10K Projects labelmates. Former 6ix9ine associate, Anthony “Harv” Ellison, claimed the friction with Redd was staged for publicity.

Women’s National Basketball Association player Caitlin Clark has become one of the most talked-about athletes in the world. Before the Indiana Fever drafted Clark on April 15, Ice Cube wanted the point guard to join his BIG3.

In March, reports claimed Ice Cube made an offer for Caitlin Clark to sign with the BIG3 for $5 million. The Hip-Hop legend confirmed the news that he hoped to get the two-time AP Player Of The Year for his 3-on-3 league.

On Wednesday (April 24), Big3 co-founder Jeff Kwatinetz published an op-ed that scolded the so-called “NBA mob” for its alleged unfair treatment of Caitlin Clark and other WNBA players.

Ice Cube shared Kwatinetz’s article on social media. One Twitter (X) user pushed back on the idea put forth in the editorial posted on OutKick and Cube’s website.

“I don’t agree with your premise… Clark in the BIG3 was never a good idea,” the @nobodyhere23 X account tweeted. In response, Ice Cube wrote, “You’re opinion means nothing to me… You’re a nobody.”

Ice Cube and Jeff Kwatinetz launched the BIG3 in January 2017. The league consists of 12 teams that include former NBA players such as Jeff Teague and Paul Milsap. Season seven kicks off on June 15 in Oakland, California.

“The talent we have on the court this year is unmatched,” Ice Cube stated. “Whether being the only women coaching men in a professional league or the bring the fire challenge; our players and coaches move the game forward and this league breaks down more barriers each and every year.”

WNBA’s 2024 regular season starts on May 14. Caitlin Clark will begin her professional basketball career when the Indiana Fever takes on the Connecticut Sun on May 14 in Uncasville, Connecticut’s Mohegan Sun Arena.

Ray J Admits Brandy Checked Him Over “Dirty” Looking Face Tattoos Video 

By: London Jennn Updated Category: News

Ray J revealed his sister Brandy reached out to him over his face tattoo reveal video because she was concerned over his appearance. 

The multihyphenate recently debuted some new facial ink, sparking concerns from medics. His new tattoos include the names of his children, Melody and Epik and the logo of his new TV network Tronix. 

However, it wasn’t just his friends and doctors who were worried about him. On Wednesday (April 24), the 43-year-old entrepreneur took to Instagram Live to discuss the reaction to his ink. Ray J revealed that Brandy isn’t a fan of his new tattoos or his disheveled appearance in the video.  

“My sister hit me and said, ‘Yo, that post that you posted, take that s### down,’” Ray J recalled. “She said I didn’t look clean; I look dirty. My mouth was chapped, I got white s### coming all out my mouth.” 

Later Ray J admitted he was grateful for Brandy’s intervention, and he heeded her advice. “My sister is mad at me because she doesn’t want my face tattoos,” he added. “She doesn’t want me to come online irresponsibly. And that’s why I love her.” 

Although he took the video down, it had already been clipped and widely shared online. 

“A lot of people think I’m going through some kind of crisis,” Ray J continued. “I appreciate y’all support for praying, but it ain’t like that.” 

According to Ray J, the tattoos symbolize his transformation from artist and entertainer to multi-media entrepreneur.  

“I’m never going to audition for s### ever again,” he explained. “Why would I audition for a movie when I could just shoot my movie and put it up and make money.”

Shannon Sharpe Blasted Over Amanda Seales’ “Club Shay Shay” Interview

Amanda Seales is the latest celebrity to have social media in a frenzy following an explosive appearance on Club Shay Shay, although this time the controversy centers around host Shannon Sharpe.  

The podcast was trending again following the outspoken actress and social justice advocate’s wide-ranging interview. Seales recalled past experiences with racism including being bullied by her all-white classmates on a trip to Disney World as a child.  

She also called out sports broadcaster Emmanuel Acho for criticizing Angel Reese following LSU’s playoff defeat to Iowa.  

However, Sharpe frequently challenged his guest, even as she reflected on being called the N-word as a child. “They’re kids,” he said. “As a child, you never said anything derogatory? You were just this model citizen as a child?” 

A stunned Seales replied, “So you have no problem with the children that were cursing out Ruby Bridges? And the Little Rock Nine? Do you think that was just them being kids?” 

Seales accused Sharpe of being combative and downplaying her experiences, something many on social media agreed with.  

“If there’s anything to learn from Shannon Sharpe’s interview with Amanda Seale is that he (and other black men) will continuously attempt to pacify antiBlack racism,” one social media user wrote. “Even if a non-black child calls a black child the n-word, it’s just “something children do”, thus not racist. 

Meanwhile, Amanda Seales was overwhelmed by the positive reaction to her Club Shay Shay appearance.  

“I’m so used to being vilified and misunderstood,” she captioned an Instagram video. “To see so many folks finally hearing me has been cathartic AF.”

Kanye West Confirms Yeezy Adult Film Studio With NSFW Post

Kanye West has confirmed the rumors that he is launching a Yeezy pornographic film studio. 

Earlier this week, reports surfaced that Ye was expanding the Yeezy brand into the adult film industry, despite once admitting to having a crippling p### addiction and claiming, “Pornography destroyed my family.” 

On Wednesday evening (April 24) West announced the immediate launch of “Yeezy P###.” He posted a brief video featuring the provocative phrase “Yeezy P### is c######.” 

A female narrator advised, “Go to Yeezy.com.” However, at the time of writing, the site does not appear to include any pornographic material.  

The announcement enraged many of Ye’s fans, with some urging him to “Come back to Jesus,” and others claiming “You’ve lost your mind officially.” 

Another questioned, “How do you make 2 albums dedicated to jesus and do this s###.” 

However, not everybody is convinced Kanye West will actually be serving up pornographic material on the Yeezy site.  

“Yall overthinking it he ain’t finna drop videos,’ one person wrote in the comment section. “He’s probably talking about just posting hella Yeezy shi and spamming it every where just like food p### isn’t litterally p### it’s just good lookin ass food.” 

According to TMZ, West tapped Stormy Daniels’ ex-husband, Mike Moz, a veteran of the adult entertainment industry to assist with his new venture.  

Kanye West Became Addited To Pornography Aged Five

Back in 2019, West confessed to a “full-blown pornography addiction,” from the age of five. “It’s affected almost every choice I made for the rest of my life,” he said.  

“Hollywood is a giant brothel,” West declared in 2022. “Pornography destroyed my family. I deal with the addiction. Instagram promotes it. Not gonna let it happen to Northy and Chicago.” 

Nonetheless, Kanye West’s views on pornography have changed over the years. In 2018, Ye served as creative director for the first-ever Pornhub Awards. He also performed at the ceremony and premiered the video “I Love It,” with Lil Pump.

Ne-Yo was blasted by the mother of his two youngest children, who accused him of being violent towards her and having “freak offs” with sex workers around his children. 

On Wednesday (April 24) social media influencer Sade Bagnerise livestreamed an argument with the “Closer” hitmaker. She claimed he had body-slammed her and had all manner of illegal drugs around his children.  

Furthermore, she likened Ne-Yo to embattled Hip-Hop mogul Diddy, accusing him of having freak offs and implying the singer will be the next celebrity exposed. 

“You know what you did, you body slammed me on the floor,” Bagnerise told Ne-Yo. “Tell them the real you and why we’re here today.” 

Bagnerise implied that Ne-Yo called the police after she refused to leave the home. However, the model claimed she was concerned for the safety of the children, at least one of whom appeared to witness the dramatic scene unfold.  

“He wants hoes over the house while his kids is here. This n#### like to have hoes, drugs and weed, alcohol, mushrooms and prostitutes in the house while his kids are here. Everyone has asked him to stop but he will not listen to nobody,” she claimed. 

Branding Ne-Yo “Diddy junior” she demanded he “tell them about the freak offs.” 

“He don’t care about these kids. All he care about is doing drugs, drinking alcohol and f###### these hoes. That’s what you care about,” she added. “You’ll be next. Your stories will be coming out next.”

“Hardest song of the summer,” he wrote on Instagram alongside a snippet of the visuals.

If all that wasn’t enough, references to Diddy’s alleged crimes, including multiple shootings, underage girls, drugging women and blowing up Kid Cudi’s car litter the track.  

Gucci Mane also mentions Diddy’s “shorty wop,” Yung Miami, and his nemesis, 50 Cent. “Some n##### wanna boss me, I’m not 50/But get a n#### ass touched like Biggie, no Diddy,” he raps.  

50 Cent, who never misses an opportunity to ruthlessly mock Diddy, caught wind of Gucci Mane’s track. He posted a clip of the video on Instagram and he’s clearly a fan.

Young Buck Insists Old Freestyle Isn’t 50 Cent Diss: “Just Playing Chess”

The ongoing saga involving Young Buck and 50 Cent continued on Wednesday (April 24)—kind of. The former G-Unit rapper shared a clip of an old freestyle called “New Years Cake” on Instagram with a caption that read: “Yea I Got Time Today 50cent …. Meet Me At The #linkinbio …. And Pull Up To #TheRenovationTour …LETS TALK ABOUT IT !!! DM or @charlie1080p For AVAILABLE SHOW DATES.”

Despite the 50 Cent mention, Young Buck denied it was a diss track aimed at his former boss in the comment section. When someone asked, “So was this a 50 Cent diss,” Buck replied, “Nah not at all. Just playing chess.”

A post shared by Young Buck (@buckshotz)

Anyone remotely paying attention is well aware Young Buck and 50 Cent have been embroiled in a contentious beef for years. Earlier this year, Young Buck filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy protection in attempt to avoid paying 50 Cent an alleged debt he owes. In April 2022, he appeared on the It’s Tricky with Raquel Harper podcast and discussed some of his issues with 50 Cent.

“We’re at a standstill,” Young Buck said. “I’m definitely not looking to go down a whole drawn-out court situation when it all could be done on a business level. [50 Cent] sent cease-and-desist [letters] out to try to stop all of my music and get everything pulled down based on saying I’m still an artist on G-Unit.”

Consequently, Buck was forced to find different ways to complete the one album he reportedly has left on his G-Unit contract, including filing for bankruptcy.

“What I did was once [50 Cent] stopped me from being able to make money, I filed another bankruptcy,” he added. “And they stopped him from being able to cease-and-desist anything. I included what he claimed that I owed him in the bankruptcy to be able to say, ‘Well, hey. If you’re owed this, then present whatever receipts or whatever you’ll get paid type of situation.’ That was the only way I was able to go forward with working. 50 hasn’t been able to stop no music I put out right now.”

But that’s only the half of it. 50 Cent and Young Buck have been trading shots online since their falling out. 50 Cent routinely accuses Buck of being a homosexual and having a romantic relationship with a transgender woman. He recently revisited the alleged “scandal” in March and alluded to finally gaining clarity on the incident depicted in the photo, when Buck appeared to refuse to take a photo with a fan.

“Didn’t make sense when we was taking the pic, but it makes whole lot of sense now,” he wrote. “That boy like them boys!” He also re-shared the photo on Instagram with the same caption.

In a brief recap of Simmons’ perceived IG debauchery, he’s recently shared videos of The Player’s Club star LisaRaye McCoy dancing like GloRilla and Megan Thee Stallion’s “Wanna Be” just dropped, in addition to two semi-cringe videos of himself with his incredibly youthful-looking “longtime friend” Janey Vi. In one of the latest videos, Janey and Simmons exit a cryogenic therapy chamber together in what appears to be their bathing suits. As if the video wasn’t “sus” enough, Simmons added a crazy caption stressing the importance of yoga in which he seemingly attempted to get ahead of the critical commenters curious about Vi’s real age.

“I generally never respond to negativity but please people respect the ladies @janeyvi is my dear friend who is an amazing mother …because or her yoga and meditation she looks young… but she’s happy to be pushing 40 ######## as for me im single and celibate[Heart emoji] for almost a year,” Simmons wrote in part.

In another seemingly inconspicuous video, Simmons, Janey and yet another younger woman who goes by the name Lina Yue appear to be semi-undressed and enjoying each other’s company following a lengthy yoga session captured in a time lapse video. Maybe the video itself isn’t as bad as it looks, but it seems that it would be impossible to convince his followers that’s the case based on the comments on the post.

“I’m pretty sure it’s more than just yoga going down,” one user wrote in the comments while another added, “That’s a freaky yoga workout.”

However, one of the most troublesome comments culminates in both speculation and real world accusations Simmons is currently facing, as the user wrote, “With all the allegations this is NOT a good look Unc [Crying laughing emoji].”

Sure, maybe it’s a yoga thing and we don’t understand as Simmons mentions in the posts. But just last month the mogul was tracked down to his Bali resort and served with a lawsuit. Dixon, once a prominent executive in the Hip-Hop industry, filed a lawsuit against Simmons, accusing him of defamation. Again, I feel as though the need to reiterate the fact that the brother might benefit from a social media manager because this is one of those “read the room” moments.

Kid Cudi canceled his Insano World Tour on Wednesday (April 24). The 40-year-old artist was forced to scrap his tour plans after breaking his foot at the 2024 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.

“Guys, so I have a broken calcaneus,” he wrote on social media. “I’m headed to surgery now and there’s gonna be a long recovery time. We have to cancel the tour so I can focus on getting better to be out there in top shape to rage with you all. There’s just no way I can bounce back in time to give 100%. The injury is much more serious than I thought.”

Kid Cudi’s tour was scheduled to begin in Austin, Texas on June 28. Pusha T, Jaden Smith and EarthGang were booked as openers.

“Anyone who bought tickets will get a full refund, you’ll get an email soon,” Kid Cudi told fans. “We will be back with new tour dates as soon as possible, and I can’t wait to get back out there with you guys and turn up how we do. I’m so sorry fam and I love you all so much, thanks for the endless love and support. I’m really disappointed as I’m sure you guys are too, but I will be back. That’s a promise. I’m ok, just a lil soreness, but I’m in good spirits.”

The rapper/actor suffered a foot injury days after announcing his engagement to designer Lola Abecassis Sartore.

“This amazing woman makes me so happy, she is everything to me and im so excited to share this news w u all,” he wrote on Instagram. “Life is wild, and right when I felt my future was uncertain, it became crystal.”

Last week, Kid Cudi and his fiancée attended the premiere of his new TV show Knuckles. The Sonic movie spinoff series premieres on Friday (April 26).

DaBaby Claims Fellow Rapper Proposed Staging Beef With Diss Tracks For Publicity

DaBaby said a rapper he respects approached him with the idea of faking a beef to capitalize on Kendrick Lamar battling Drake and J. Cole. DaBaby refused to identify the rapper but told the story of the proposition on The Big Podcast with Shaq.

“Two days after the situation took place—this before J. Cole apologized, matter of fact—I got a call,” DaBaby said. “I won’t say from who. I got a call from a certain rapper. It’s a lyricist too … I’m sure y’all know him if I said his name … I got a text from him. He shot me a text. He like, ‘Yo, hit me. You gon’ like this. Hit me. You gon’ like this.’ I called him … He said, ‘Man, all the back-and-forth between J. Cole and Kendrick got me fired up. Bruh, I feel like we should diss each other. You know we cool behind closed doors. We should diss each other … We know we cool, but bruh, I just feel like it’ll just go crazy.’”

DaBaby rejected the offer, noting how personal beef is to him. He appreciated the undisclosed rapper for thinking of him, but diss tracks crossed a line he was unwilling to cross.

“I wouldn’t even say certain things about you if I don’t really feel a certain way about you,” he explained to Shaquille O’Neal and co-host Adam Lefkoe. “And I told him that’s out of respect for you … I can’t see a person finding every which way to belittle me, make me feel some type of way, offend me and then we still co-exist on a respectable level. You gotta disrespect me. And I gotta disrespect you. And I’m not gonna disrespect nobody that I got respect for because of what comes with it on my end.”
