Hitmaka has become one of the standout music producers of the last decade. Apparently, one of his beats originally meant for Boosie Badazz ended up with Christian Combs (aka King Combs), thanks to Christian’s father Diddy (aka Puff Daddy).

“I’ve done records for Boosie. Christian Combs had a record called ‘Naughty’ with Jeremih. I had just started working with Atlantic Records at that time and actually Boosie had that record first,” Hitmaka (fka Yung Berg) told SiriusXM’s Superstar Jay.

Hitmaka continued, “No disrespect, respectfully to Christian, because we got a bunch of other records that went crazy too. I love Boosie’s version more. Puff called [Atlantic Records executive] Craig Kallman and was like, ‘No, I need that record.’ This was when I first started working at Atlantic and Craig called me like, ‘What did you do to Diddy?'”

King Combs’s “Naughty” featuring Jeremih came out in 2019. The song has racked up more than 10 million Spotify streams. In addition, the official “Naughty” music video amassed over 1.8 million views on YouTube.

“Look, Boosie had that record first. Christian wanted that record. Jeremih gave it to Christian. We recorded the record with Boosie first at Jeremih’s house. I was excited about it. I’m like, ‘This is a hit.’ Boosie was going crazy, snapped on it,” Hitmaka recalled.

The “Sexy Can I” rapper also added, “Puff called Craig Kallman. Craig Kallman called me like, ‘Berg, Christian, what is going on? Why is Sean Combs calling me?’ I’m like, ‘I don’t know what’s going on.’ It ended up being Christian’s record.”

“How I’m supposed to wife it? You not Ayesha enough,” Drake raps on his Certified Lover Boy track “Race My Mind.” That reference to television personality Ayesha Curry got a response from Steph Curry’s wife.

Ayesha Curry recently appeared on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen late-night talk show. A virtual viewer asked Curry about Drake’s “Race My Mind” lyrics.

“I think I was dumbfounded,” Ayesha Curry responded. “That’s our family, so I think I was appreciative that they respect me so much that they feel l’m a great wife. I was appreciative.”

Both Ayesha Curry and Steph Curry have been name-dropped in several rap songs. For example, Cardi B mentioned the celebrity couple in her Top 20, 4x-platinum single “Be Careful.”

Drake also compared himself to four-time NBA champion Steph Curry on “0 to 100 / The Catch Up.” In 2023, Curry listed Drizzy’s track and Cardi’s “Be Careful” as two of his favorite songs that have bars about him.

Ayesha Curry stopped by Watch What Happens Live to promote the upcoming Netflix romantic comedy Irish Wish. In addition to Curry, the movie’s cast includes Lindsay Lohan, Ed Speleers, Alexander Vlahos, Elizabeth Tan and Jane Seymour.

Cardi B has never been shy about sharing her ups and downs with her fans, and it was no different when flaunted her tooth gap after losing one of her veneers recently.  

On Tuesday (March 12), the “Jealously” hitmaker shocked fans by proudly displaying the gap left by the missing veneer in a TikTok video.  

In the clip, Cardi is seen posing in a hillside location while strutting her stuff alongside a pool. 

“Wait til the end for a surprise,” Cardi wrote. At the end of the video, Cardi beams widely at the camera, revealing a huge gap in her smile.

While Cardi B left many wondering how she lost her tooth, she explained on her Instagram broadcast channel.  

“Why one of the veneers came out chewing on a hard a## bagel ?-_-,” the NYC native stated. 

Meanwhile, in other Cardi news, the rapper asked her loyal fanbase, Bardi Gang, to spring into action earlier this week after Instagram reportedly restricted her upcoming single’s racy cover art.  

Cardi B flaunted her curves on the artwork for her single, Enough (Miami), due Friday (March 15). However, her heaving cleavage and shapely derriere were apparently too much for the social media platform.

Drake Seeks Removal From Astroworld Lawsuit Citing Zero Involvement In Planning  

By: London Jennn Updated Category: News

Drake wants his name removed from the multiple lawsuits stemming from the Astroworld tragedy in 2021. 

His legal team filed a motion on Friday (March 8) arguing that while the Toronto megastar performed at the festival, he had no say in planning or running the event, per Billboard. 

“Mr. Graham did not receive any security briefings, was not informed of any crowd control issues, injuries or deaths in the crowd, or any stop show orders at any time either before or during his 14-minute performance,” the motion reads.  

In addition, Drake’s attorneys state that festival organizers “confirmed under oath that Mr. Graham was not involved in any planning.” They also note that despite “hundreds of hours” of depositions and “hundreds of thousands of pages of documents” in the case, no evidence points to Drake being liable. 

Last November, Drake was reportedly deposed for several hours over the disaster, which claimed 10 lives and resulted in hundreds more injured. However, his deposition is reportedly subject to a “rigid publicity order,” and the contents are confidential. 

Drake addressed the tragic turn of events shortly after the incident, writing, “My heart is broken for the families and friends of those who lost their lives and for anyone who is suffering. I will continue to pray for all of them, and will be of service in any way I can, May God be with you all.” 

Hundreds of lawsuits have been filed in the case, with the victims seeking billions in damages. While Drake is named in the Astroworld litigation, the suits primarily target Travis Scott, Live Nation and its subsidiary Scoremore and Apple, which livestreamed the event. 

Bizz The Prince and Philly Freeway Heat up the Streets with “King K0ng And Godz1lla”

Hip Hop phenom Bizz the Prince is a head strong rapper from New Jersey determined to leave an impact on the music game. He’s one of the most prolific and talented rappers to emerge from the New Jersey music scene. His music is colossal and cinematic. He combines an immense amount of raw talent and amazing showmanship.

The incredibly gifted, multi-talented lyricist has honed a refreshing style that combines street tales with wisdom and food for thought. There is an undercurrent of realness and authenticity in his voice. Bizz the Prince is on a mission to heat up the streets and the charts with his latest single entitled “King K0ng And Godz1lla” featuring Philadelphia Rap star Philly Freeway. DJs are already raving about the song. The cinematic single drops March 8th on all digital stores via Dominion Hill Records. 

Bizz and Freeway collaborations are nothing new, Freeway was credited on two records from Bizz’s debut album “We Shine” produced by Wu- Tang Clan’s 4th Disciple and “Ringtone”. They also collabed on the Freeway single “Hustlers Prayer” and multiple freestyles. In a recent interview Bizz teased the new single for 2024 and provided little to no details of the release, but the Jersey rapper did hint to the relationship he had with Freeway over the years and the appreciation and love he has for the Philly rapper.

“We met Free through Shabazz the O.G a decade back,” says Rhasun of Dominion Hill Records. Free was coming off the success he had with hit records like “What We Do” and “1-900 Hustler” from the Roc – A – Fella dynasty. Freeway put Bizz under his wing. I’ve never been the type of brother to front like something is what it’s not, I give Shabazz the credit for bridging the connection and managing the situation. Free was influential in Bizz’s career. The brothers spent a lot of time in the studio and touring during that time. It was movie” raves Rhasun.

In 2023, after the formation of Dominion Hill Records, Bizz dropped two singles including “New Jerz Anthem” and “Im About It”. Bizz discussed how the singles he dropped in 2023 were to reintroduce himself as stated in the lyrics from “I’m About It.” Until 2023, Bizz’s last official release was a cinematic EP featuring Inspectah Deck of the Wu-Tang Clan. 

  “I been doing a lot / instrumentals be my time to vent / they said that I’m back but I never left / If this is your first-time hearing Bizz you will not regret”. Bars from the single “Im About it”. 

The Jersey rapper announced on his Instagram in late 2021 that he was finishing up his last album and moving on to different ventures. In the summer of 2023, Bizz got a call from Rhasun announcing he had launched the Dominion Hill brand and secured distribution via Equity/Roc Nation.  The Prince of Jersey went back in the booth and dropped two singles which had a major impact on Jersey Hip Hop in 2023-24.

Drake Seemingly Responds To Kanye West With Help From 50 Cent 

By: London Jennn Updated Category: News
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

Drake has seemingly responded after Kanye West aimed at Drake during a recent profanity-laced rant where he targeted the OVO honcho among his other adversaries. 

Ye took to Instagram earlier this week (March 11), sharing a diatribe against his foes while promoting his upcoming Vultures 2 album. After he targeted everyone from fashion houses to international media outlets, he settled on Drizzy. 

“It’s f### Drake for taking Durk right at the beginning of the Vultures role out,” he stated. “I’ll come back to yall if I think of more f### you’s.” 

West referenced the Chicago rapper joining Drake and J. Cole at spot dates on the It’s All A Blur – Big As The What tour. Lil Durk features on Ye and Ty Dolla $ign’s Vultures title track. The song initially arrived on streaming platforms without Durkio’s verse, although he later appeared on some versions.  

Meanwhile, it appears Drake caught wind of Kanye West’s rant, according to a Tuesday night (March 12) Instagram Story. 

The Toronto superstar used 50 Cent to do the talking, sharing a famous meme of the G-Unit boss.   

“F###, T.I., f### Nelly, F### 50,” the Hip-Hop and entertainment mogul says in the viral clip. “I’m like what he say f### me for?” 

Meanwhile, in other Ye news, the Yeezy founder has fired YesJulz from his Vultures rollout. He shared a post on his Story accusing the social media influencer of “unauthorized” activity.  

“We have decided to no longer have YesJulz involved in the role out of Vultures,” Ye declared. “All the activity on her page and with our fans in the past few days has been unauthorized.”  

According to an alleged email from Yeezy chief of staff, YesJulz owes $7.7 million in NDA violations.  

Kanye West Fires YesJulz Over “Unauthorized” Activity, Allegedly Owes $7.7M For NDA Violation

Kanye West unceremoniously announced he had fired influencer YesJulz via Instagram hours after she was promoting his upcoming album on social media. 

The embattled rapper claimed she would no longer work on the Vultures rollout due to “unauthorized” activity. 

“We have decided to no longer have YesJulz involved in the role out of Vultures,” Ye shared on his Instagram Story in a since-deleted post on Tuesday (March 12). “All the activity on her page and with our fans in the past few days has been unauthorized.” 

In addition, an email allegedly from Ye’s “chief of staff,” Milo Yiannopoulos, has surfaced online. The letter claims YesJulz incurred NDA violation penalties of over $7 million. 

“Fines incurred to date as a result of your NDA violations come to $7.7m,” the note, addressed to YesJulz by her real name Julieanna Goddard, reads. “While you were a contractor, I suspended enforcement of this debt. It now falls due.” 

According to the email, JesJulz is subject to additional fines if she continues violating the agreement.  

Another document, also purportedly from Yiannopoulos written on YEEZY headed paper, addressed to “Dear Julieanna,” curtly informs YesJulz of the news.  

“Obviously, you are fired,” the one-sentence email states.   

Kanye West did not specify what exactly led to YesJulz’s termination, although he indicated that all her recent Yeezy work was unsanctioned.

In the last few days, she’s been promoting Vultures merch on her Instagram page. She also hosted a Spaces with fans on X, which led to scamming accusations. 

Diddy Rape Accuser Says She Was 16 When Mogul & Aaron Hall Took Turns Assaulting Her

By: London Jennn Updated Category: News

A woman who alleged Diddy and Aaron Hall took turns raping her in the early 1990s has revealed she was aged just 16 years old at the time of the alleged assaults. 

The alleged victim filed an amendment complaint Tuesday (March 12), per NBC News, after initially filing a lawsuit on the eve of the expiration of New York’s Adult Survivors Act (November 23). The act allowed adult survivors of sexual abuse to file claims otherwise barred by the statute of limitations.   

In the new filing, Liza Gardner, who went by the pseudonym Jane Doe in the initial suit, claims she was 16 years old and too young to drink or consent to sex at the time of the alleged assaults. She also said members of R&B group Jodeci introduced her to Diddy. According to Gardner, she was good friends with the group members. They invited her to New York, where she met Diddy and Aaron Hall. 

In her lawsuit, Gardener claimed she met Diddy and Hall at an industry event in NYC. She said the duo was “very flirtatious and handsy,” with her and her friend. Gardner also claimed Diddy and Hall were “offering them drinks throughout the night.”   

Gardener and her friend accepted an invitation to Hall’s apartment after the event. Once there, she claims Combs “coerced” her into having sex with him. 

The suit continues, “After Combs finished doing his business, Jane Doe laid in bed, shocked and traumatized. As she was in the process of getting dressed, Hall barged into the room, pinned her down and forced Jane Doe to have sex with him.”    

Gardner claims she fled after the alleged rapes. Her friend later stated she was allegedly “forced to have sex with Combs and Hall in another room.”  

Gardener said Diddy came to the home where she and her friend were staying days after the alleged assaults. She claimed the Hip-Hop mogul became “irate” and “began assaulting and choking” Gardener “to the point that she passed out.”

In addition to Gardener’s suit, Diddy is fighting multiple sexual assault accusations. His ex-partner, Cassie Ventura, accused him of sexual and physical abuse, and drugging, raping and sex trafficking her to multiple male prostitutes. Diddy denied the claims, and the former couple settled within 24 hours.   

He also faces assault allegations from multiple women and a male former employee. Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones recently filed a $30 million lawsuit claiming Diddy groped and assaulted him. 

Meek Mill Cites $25M Drake Collab, Rick Ross Deal As He Seeks Bank Loan For Record Label

By: Devon Jefferson Updated Category: News

Meek Mill is attempting to side-step the music industry by working directly with financial institutions, rather than Rick Ross, JAY-Z and labels such as Maybach Music Group and Roc Nation, to finance his new imprint.

On Monday (March 11), Meek Mill authored a lengthy rant on Twitter (X) both outlining his plans to create a new, independent record label while also highlighting his career earnings, which he claims has accumulated to more than $100 million. He started off making his case by referring to the success he and Drake were able to create upon reconciling and delivering “Going Bad” in 2019.

“What bank can I do music business with, the overhead on making music is low,” Meek Mill wrote in part. “Working a project can cost up to 5m for me and one hit song can make 25m like ‘going bad did’ regular hits 10m at low… we don’t get data from labels how much money each song made quarterly.”

He continued, “How can you actually negotiate a deal if you don’t know how much you streaming in dollars monthly … most of the times artist get confused in business and lose their creative spark.”

In another tweet, Meek Mill went on to address his relationship with Ross, claiming he made more than $100 million in profits despite signing what he identified as a “bad” deal at 18-years-old.

“To all American banking … I have a history on paper of accumulating over 100m in profit with music I made with my ip,” he wrote. “I signed a bad contract when I was 18 it last til I was 32 years old … Ross did some good business with me but I want my money from banks!”

He followed that message up by firmly doubling down on his belief he doesn’t need the money labels are offering him because he’s now savvy enough to know how to generate revenue on his own.

In a subsequent tweet, Meek Mill admitted neither he nor Ross truly understood the scope of what their business within the music industry looked like from an investment standpoint.

“I was just hungry,” he wrote. “I don’t think it was Ross fault either I don’t think none of us understood the business like we do now from 2011 … he was my power marketer I asked him to get me on tv because I knew what I could do…. He invested in my early salute!”

In the end, Meek Mill went on to clarify that he and Rozay are on—and have always been—good terms when it comes to business, tweeting, “Don’t get it confused me and Ross handled the business and still getting money from every direction.”

SiR Admits Addiction & Multiple Rehab Stints Led To Long Album Delay

By: Devon Jefferson Updated Category: News

SiR has opened up about the trials and tribulations he faced during the process of crafting the follow-up project to his 2019 album, Chasing Summer.

On Tuesday (March 12), the Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE) signee appeared in an interview on Sway’s Universe in promotion of his forthcoming LP Heavy, which is set to arrive on March 22. During the lengthy interview, SiR began to break down the creative process behind the project, in turn, revealing he was experiencing ongoing trauma amid its creation. More specifically, the “John Redcorn” vocalist flat-out told Sway Calloway that his addiction was partially to blame for the five-year hiatus between the albums. He started off by remarking on how a previous live performance for Genuis of his fan-favorite record “Nothing Even Matters” was somewhat of a reference point for his journey to sobriety.

“A lot of people don’t even know what goes on behind the scenes and how it feels for an artist to hear their mistakes,” SiR said in part. “That was that was a rough day for me. I was barely sober and a lot of people are wondering why it’s been such a long time since I released music. It’s because I wasn’t able to. I was going through my challenges with addiction, I had a couple of stints in rehab, I had to separate myself and like really start over.”

SiR went on to explain how the title track for the album doubled as a therapeutic letter to himself in which he was able to address the destructive nature of his behavior. Though now more than a year sober, SiR explained how “Heavy” became a beacon for him.

“Before I was even ready to talk to anybody I wrote a song about it and it’s on it’s on the album It’s called ‘Heavy’ it’s the title track, and um that that song in particular it it’s basically me crying out for help,” he said.

Joey Bada$$ Responds To Paparazzi Video Capturing His Girlfriend Serayah In Tears

Joey Bada$$ was well aware of the paparazzi publicizing an emotional moment between him and his girlfriend Serayah. The actor/rapper shared several photos of the couple in a good mood via Instagram on Tuesday (March 12). Joey created the post in response to a gossip outlet publishing invasive footage of Serayah shedding tears with him.

“TMZ all in our business they don’t even know the facts, they don’t see the s### we witness only what the cameras catch,” Joey wrote in the caption.

The video of Serayah crying provided little context. The couple was engaged in a conversation when she broke down in tears. Joey was seen consoling her in the footage.

Joey and Serayah remained a couple with a connection to 50 Cent. The two each had roles in 50 Cent’s television empire at STARZ. Joey played Unique in Power Book III: Raising Kanan while Serayah portrayed Lori in BMF.

Last year, Joey spoke to AllHipHop about bringing authenticity to his role in the Power franchise.

“I was always fascinated with the ’90s era,” he said. “I identify it with the golden era of Hip-Hop. Being from New York, being from Brooklyn specifically, I wasn’t an adult at the time or even a teenager. But I feel like I experienced a lot of the people that were connected to that time. A lot of that influence has leaked onto me, and I picked that up. My artistic expression is aligned with the time. When it came to that, there was an aspect of it that I was able to naturally bring forth.”

Joey’s role in Raising Kanan bolstered his acting career, which included a brief stint playing Inspectah Deck in Hulu’s Wu-Tang: An American Saga. Joey also appeared in the critically acclaimed series Mr. Robot and the short film Two Distant Strangers.

Is LeBron James Beefing With Wife Post-Viral, Touchy-Feely Jeanie Buss Clip?

By: Devon Jefferson Updated Category: Rumors

LeBron James fans are under the impression that he’s in big trouble with his wife Savannah following a touchy encounter with the owner of the Lakers franchise.

While his teammates battled it out on the court, James was caught in a viral video sitting between Lakers controlling owner Jeanie Buss and executive director Linda Rambis. More specifically, the free and lingering nature of the physical contact between Buss, James and Rambis during this encounter appears to have resulted in tongues wagging and fans believing Savannah has the NBA champion in the doghouse.

Immediately following the clip, a viral photo of James and Savannah on the sidelines at Bronny’s USC game over the weekend sparked even more speculation based on the couple’s subdued expressions. As a result, the interaction has sparked several discussions and memes on social media, as users attribute Buss to being the equivalent of a “work wife” for James.

Not to mention, everyone from casual hoop fans to professional athletes themselves have commented on the incident. In fact, the clip even managed to reach infamy on Twitter (X), where former NFL player Antonio Brown added the moment to his CTESPN Sports Center Top 10 clips over the weekend.

Despite all of the hullabaloo, the real conversation Buss, James and Rambis were having was allegely fare more lighthearted and innocent in nature than we’ve been lead to believe. Apparently, Buss and Rambis were reacting to James wishing them a Happy International Women’s Day and giving them their professional flowers.

EXCLUSIVE: Swizz Beatz, Timbaland Tighten Legal Grip On Triller Over Unpaid Verzuz Legal Bills

Swizz Beatz and Timbaland are entangled in a new legal dispute with Triller over their acclaimed music battle platform, Verzuz. 

The celebrated music producers, who co-created the virtual battle series that gained popularity during the pandemic, are seeking additional compensation from Triller, asserting that the social media company has failed to adhere to the terms of their settlement agreement.

The legal skirmish first became public when Swizz Beatz and Timbaland filed a lawsuit against Triller, alleging that the company hadn’t fulfilled its financial obligations under the acquisition agreement. 

Following intense negotiations, both parties reached a settlement in which Triller agreed to compensate Swizz Beatz and Timbaland $28 million to resolve the dispute.

However, part of the clash remains unresolved. 

Swizz Beatz AndTimbaland Want More Money From Triller

Despite the previously agreed settlement, new court filings obtained by AllHipHop reveal that Swizz Beatz and Timbaland are now seeking a judge’s order to secure additional payments amounting to $565,000 in attorney’s fees from Triller. 

According to the court documents, under the settlement terms, Triller was mandated to make an initial payment of $100,000, a commitment it failed to honor, resulting in a default.

Consequently, Swizz Beatz and Timbaland have escalated their claim, leveraging an Affidavit of Confession of Judgment to accelerate the due balance. 

This legal maneuver entitles them to a judgment of $565,000 plus an interest calculated at 9 percent per annum from February 16. The calculated total, inclusive of interest, now stands at $568,343.68.

As it stands, Swizz Beatz and Timbaland are steadfast in their pursuit of recovering the owed amount, signaling their unwavering determination to hold Triller accountable. 

Meek Mill Threatens Poundside Pop Over Disparaging Interview: “You Gone Die”

Meek Mill was enraged by Philly rapper Poundside Pop’s interview with DJ Akademiks. Pop added to Meek’s drama by airing their issues in a conversation with Akademiks, who antagonized Meek over allegations from a bombshell lawsuit against Diddy.

Akademiks stirred up serious issues between Meek and Pop as threats were exchanged on social media. Meek claimed Pop talked too much and admitted he wanted Pop “out the way.”

“Why you keep speaking on vert for you from the zoo stop tryna connect because you scared p####,” Meek wrote on Instagram Stories. “I ain’t gone let up off ya [neck] until you do something…. You gone die goinn against me nothing the less…. Making up all this dumb s### let’s see who run the hood you around today because I am?”

He continued, “You want this s### for you p####… I die your whole family getting wiped down… let’s say less this guy saying n##### names and s### this a boy ima treat him that way when we meet! It’s real facts not a threat ima be in Philly all day today! Moving around til night I ge there like 10pm lol.”

Meek claimed Pop’s father was the man who snitched on Tommy Hill, a member of the Philly rap group RAM Squad. Meek said it was in his foe’s DNA to “hate real kings” like him.

“Poundside pop dad is boy backs son that snitched on the whole ram squad the biggest Philly rap group,” Meek wrote with a link to the video below. “This is his son now coming after me that s### in they blood I will crush his son tho i move different … that’s his dad … says it all smh.”

Meek boasted about his accomplishments while addressing his beef with Pop. Meek also referenced Nipsey Hussle’s death in the Instagram Stories tirade.

“Bum ass n##### hating on a king,” he wrote. “I done changed laws put like 20 black and brown men in the city on real money… gave verses to everybody… gave millions of toys and clothing to the kids…. I never been touched in the county or state… nobody ever robbed me in my life never been shot thank god for all that… put half the hood on jets and showed them a better life… use this as a example you come up… get your family and move like the big celebs do these guys are becoming mentally sick and I’m starting to geek with them! Forever stepping never letting a bum kill me eva! I woke up on this everyday since I seen that footage of nipsey.… The hood let down big with that…. Made me different! I’ll protect my own soul.”

Pop repeatedly trolled Meek over the Diddy lawsuit, which claimed Meek had sex with Diddy, and accused his foe of hanging with a well-known “rat” in Philly. Pop declared he was ready to “rumble” over their feud, which appeared to be on the verge of escalating to violence.

Lil’ Meech on Acting, Celebrity Status + Why He Never Became a Rapper

We have reached the part of the proverbial chat in which Lil’ Meech aka Demetrius Flenory Jr enters his third season as the lead of a hit television show, BMF, which tells the story of his father and uncle’s rise to power in organized crime before he was born.

Surreal is a strong enough word to describe the experience, if we’re being honest.

But Flenory appears to be handling it quite well.

As season 3 premieres we find the brothers, played by Lil’ Meech and Da’Vinchi, temporarily going their separate ways as Big Meech heads down to Atlanta to expand their enterprise and Terry aka Southwest T remains in Detroit.

In “real life” this is a critical part of their harrowing tale that leads to the incredible expansion and eventual demise of what they built seemingly overnight.

Recently, AllHipHop was able to get Lil’ Meech to slow down for a spell and discuss his evolution as an actor, how the arc of the story of BMF will change, as well as the career option that he tried and failed at before 50 Cent reached out to him and made an offer he most certainly could no refuse-to star in a series as his incarcerated father.

Lil’ Meech also appeared on the hit HBO series Euphoria of which he is a fan. He maintains he’s on his way to being a real thespian.

“This is what I know. This is what I’m supposed to be doing. Once I started getting comfortable in the first and second seasons, I knew that I could handle my job. Not just do the role, but embody it,” Lil’ Meech told AllHipHop. “I want people to know that I really went to acting school and buckled down and focused. This is something I really want to do. This is not something that I am just trying. I wanted to show people that I could really act.”

Check out the full conversation in the video above where Lil Meech talks about realizing he was not cut out to be an emcee. Also, see our first interview with the one-time rapper.

The post included a link to pre-order limited edition boxsets, CDs and vinyl. Beyoncé updated her Instagram profile bio with the essential details for her album.

Earlier this year, Beyoncé delighted her fans by announcing a new album in a Super Bowl advertisement for Verizon. She confirmed speculation about her shifting to country music with the release of the first two singles: “16 Carriages” and “Texas Hold ‘Em.” The pop star’s change in style helped her make more history in the music industry.

Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold ‘Em” reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs, making her the first Black woman to ever reach the top of the chart. The song’s success was not limited to the country charts as it also hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

“Texas Hold ‘Em” was Beyoncé’s ninth No. 1 song as a solo artist. It was her first chart-topping single since 2022’s “Break My Soul.”

Cowboy Carter serves as the follow-up to Beyoncé’s platinum-selling album Renaissance. The upcoming album is the second release in a planned trilogy. Renaissance was billed as Act I while Cowboy Cowboy has been dubbed Act II.

SIGNS: Boeing Whistleblower Found Dead Under “Mysterious” Circumstances

An elderly Boeing whistleblower has been found dead under mysterious circumstances. John Barnett, who was 62 years old at the time of his death, had worked at the aviation company for 32 years up until his retirement in 2017. He primarily worked as a quality manager at the North Charleston plant, making the 787 Dreamliner aircraft from 2010 and on.

According to police reports, Barnett was found dead at his home in the United States from a from a “self-inflicted gunshot wound.” In the days leading up to his death, Barnett had been cooperating and providing evidence in a whistleblower lawsuit against the company.

Barnett had built a reputation as a whistleblower, whose revelations rocked the aerospace giant by bringing their production standards into critical view. He also played a pivotal role in exposing damning information about Boeing’s questionable practices. One of his most notable battles with the company arose in 2019, when Barnett accused Boeing of “deliberately fitting sub-standard parts to aircraft on the production line.”

Details surrounding the death are scarce, but sources close to the investigation suggest foul play may be at play. Was this a tragic accident or a calculated move to silence a voice of dissent?

The timing of the whistleblower’s death is particularly chilling, coming on the heels of mounting scrutiny over Boeing’s safety record and corporate culture. Barnett had previously accused the company of a litany of serious safety violations in the past. Among the complaints Barnett submitted, he alleged emergency oxygen systems due to be fitted to the 787 showed a failure rate of 25 percent, in addition to claiming sub-standard parts were removed from scrap bins and fitted to planes on the production line. 

While Boeing has denied Barnett’s claims, records show a 2017 review conducted by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) upheld some of his claims. Additionally, news of Barnett’s death follows the incident from in early January, when an unused emergency exit door blew off a brand-new Boeing 737 Max shortly after take-off from Portland International Airport.

Not to mention the FAA recently revealed six-week audit of the company returned evidence of “multiple instances where the company allegedly failed to comply with manufacturing quality control requirements”.

The Hollywood Walk of Fame announced plans to immortalize Dr. Dre in Los Angeles. The Hip-Hop legend will receive a star next to his old pal Snoop Dogg on the Walk of Fame at a ceremony on March 19.

“Dr. Dre’s contributions to the music industry are undeniable and have left an indelible mark on popular culture,” Walk of Fame producer Ana Martinez said. “As a producer, rapper, and entrepreneur, Dr. Dre has continuously pushed boundaries and set new standards for excellence. It is with great pride that we honor his incredible career and extraordinary impact by awarding him a star on the Walk of Fame. Dr. Dre’s star will serve as a lasting symbol of his immense talent and enduring legacy in the world of music. What is special regarding the location chosen for Dr. Dre’s star is that it will be next to the star of his longtime friend Snoop Dogg!”

Snoop Dogg and Interscope Records co-founder Jimmy Iovine will be the guest speakers for the ceremony. Radio personality Big Boy will emcee the event.

Dr. Dre will be presented with the 2,775th star in Walk of Fame history. He secured the star in the recording category.

Snoop Dogg will return a favor by speaking at Dr. Dre’s Walk of Fame ceremony. The N.W.A member was one of the speakers at Snoop Dogg’s star ceremony in 2018.

Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg remained close friends and collaborators three decades after they began working together. The two most recently teamed up for a new line of canned alcoholic drinks, which were appropriately named Gin & Juice.

“Together, we always try to create magic, we’re having fun being creative, and everything about this product is really us,” Dr. Dre said. “There’s passion behind it, and friendship and love and a culture. We’re shooting to make everything we do magnificent, and fortunately, most of the time we hit the target.”

Nicki Minaj’s half-sister Ming Luanli, who embarked on a music career, wanted a major platform to respond to questions about their relationship. Ming said she was holding out for an interview with The Breakfast Club in an Instagram Stories post.

“Everyone wants me to speak,” she wrote. “I’m saving my interview for @breakfastclubam.”

Ming teamed with Rakeem Love for a collaboration titled “Do It Again,” which dropped on March 8. As Ming began her musical journey, Nicki’s fans wondered why the Hip-Hop star wasn’t assisting her younger sister. One fan on Instagram specifically asked if Nicki offered to help. Ming fired back, “Did I ask for it?”

The response created more speculation about Ming’s relationship with her famous sister. Ming hinted at a possible strain between the two but insisted she loved her family – including Nicki – in another Instagram Stories post.

“And also one more thing,” Ming wrote. “I won’t be disrespected by anybody cause respect is always earned, and yes I do love my family let that be known too..all of them.”

Earlier this year, Ming refused to get involved in Nicki’s feud with Megan Thee Stallion. Ming told fans the beef had nothing to do with her.

“Whatever beef that’s going on, I really don’t give a f### for it,” Ming said. “Like that got nothing to do with me. I’m working on my life, my grind … I don’t care about that s###, bro. I really don’t give a f### for it. I don’t give a f### for it. It ain’t helping me with what I need to do with my life.”

Ming previously announced she would “no longer be known as Nicki Minaj’s little sister.” She vowed to work her way to the top and accomplish “big things” on her own. Ming claimed she would not receive any “secret help,” an apparent reference to Nicki.
