Ice Cube Rallies Against AI-Generated Music, Vows To Sue Anyone Who Uses His Voice

Ice Cube is weighing in on the the use of AI in the music industry, a hot topic as of late. Last month, Drake expressed his disdain for an AI-generated version of his voice rapping along to Ice Spice’s viral song “Munch (Feelin’ U).” Taking to his Instagram stories, the OVO Sound boss wrote, “This is the final straw AI.”

Ice Cube apparently isn’t feeling AI either. During a recent interview, the N.W.A legend was asked if he’d heard the AI Drake song and he made it abundantly clear how he felt about it. He also vowed to sue anybody who tried to use his voice on anything he didn’t approve.

“I don’t want to hear an AI Drake song,” Ice Cube says in the clip. “I don’t want to hear that b#######. He should sue whoever made it.”

When one of the hosts suggested there was an AI Ice Cube right around the corner, Cube quips, “And I’m gonna sue the m########### who make it, too, and the people behind the platform who play it. It’s like a sample. Somebody can’t take your original voice and manipulate it without having to pay.”

The use of AI-generated vocals have prompted major labels to take action. Universal Music Group had fake songs from both Drake and The Weeknd removed from streaming services.

As reported by the Financial Times, UMG continues to urge Apple Music, YouTube and Spotify to block companies that use AI from access to its copyrighted songs. UMG says the AI companies use their artists’ music to train the technology required to produce melodies and lyrics that were never recorded by actual people.

“We have become aware that certain AI systems might have been trained on copyrighted content without obtaining the required consents from, or paying compensation to, the rightsholders who own or produce the content,” UMG wrote in a statement. “We will not hesitate to take steps to protect our rights and those of our artists.”

Warner Music Group (WMG) and Sony Music are also in talks with the music streaming services to find a way to quickly and easily remove recordings with AI-generated vocals.

As for Ice Cube, don’t expect to hear an AI version of “It Was A Good Day” anytime soon. Logic was enough.

Wilmer Valderrama Says LL Cool J Let Him Hear His “Incredible” New Music

Actor Wilmer Valderrama is one of the first people to preview LL COOL J’s new music, and he’s calling it “incredible.”

During a recent appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show, Hudson asked the That ’70s Show actor what it was like to appear opposite the Hip-Hop icon on a recent episode of the TV series NCIS. Valderrama admitted he begged LL COOL J to get back into the recording studio.

“Being on set together was phenomenal,” he said. “I think all of us were thinking it but it probably took five minutes of being with LL and I was like, ‘I mean, we need new music. Let’s go… it’s important for the community. This generation needs to hear what rap really is.’

“Someone like him, who pop culturally has our hearts, when he comes back with who he really is, the legend that he’s always been. I think it’s going to be incredible.”

Valderrama divulged that LL even let him listen to some of the songs he’s working on.

“I can’t say a word ’cause I know he’s going to do it soon but it’s everything we want him to do,” the 43-year-old added.

LL COOL J, real name Todd James Smith, dropped his thirteenth studio album Authentic in 2013.

Did Travis Scott Hire An Accused NeoNazi Cop As His Security?

Houston, we have a problem. Texas-rapper is doing a lot recently. We care. But we also are going to discuss this madness, as it bubbles from under the surface to the top. It seems like Travis Scott may have picked the wrong “right” one as the person he’s reportedly hired to protect his body.

A man named Jamie McBride has emerged as a figure of question. Here is what is not in question. McBride is not to be played with and recent reports say that he’s shot about 6 people. He is the leader of Los Angeles Police Protective League, the union that represents LAPD officers. OK, BET. What else? Others members of his family have been involved in shooting Black or Brown people. I should not that Jamie McBride has never killed a Black person. Nevertheless, his daughters are cops to and they have.

Jacqueline and Toni have shot people and have been deemed in the wrong. And yet they are still in the free world. Some have come to question: are they the new iteration of the KKK? I have read reports on these people as the new version of NeoNazis. Why? Read below.

So, this leads us back to Travis Scott, who has been irregular and out of step with Black people far too many times. But, fame. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anyway!

What is funny is the police are upset that McBride is watching an “anti-police” rapper! What!?? This is weird! What in the netherworld and multiverse is going on?

Happy Sunday!

Kim Kardashian On Her Way To Becoming Powerful Lawyer After Midterm Exams

Kim Kardashian achieved near-perfect grades on her most recent law school midterms.

While promoting her latest SKIMS pop-up in New York City’s Rockefeller Center, the TV personality/entrepreneur updated Today on her current law school journey.

“I’m still studying. I’m actually in constitutional law one and two rig now. It’s my toughest; not the biggest fan of it, I’ve been sharing my struggle,” she revealed. “But with that said, I took a midterm yesterday. I got 100 percent and then I got a 95 percent on my other midterm, so I feel – that gives me that boost of confidence again just to push through.”

In terms of what will come next for the aspiring lawyer, Kim added: “Hopefully, in the next year or so, I can take the official bar and be done.”

The 42-year-old passed the baby bar exam in 2021 after failing three times.

At the time, she enthusiastically announced on Twitter, “OMFGGGG I PASSED THE BABY BAR EXAM!!!! Looking in the mirror, I am really proud of the woman looking back today in the reflection.”

Kim has consistently advocated for wrongfully convicted inmates and unfair sentences.

Her first legal success came in 2018 when she campaigned for the clemency of Alice Marie Johnson, who had been sentenced to life in prison for a nonviolent crime.

Rihanna Says Baby RZA Has No Clue How Nuts His Mom Is

Rihanna has officially confirmed the name of her son while sharing photos from her first pregnancy.

The 35-year-old hitmaker took to Instagram to share photos from a glamorous maternity shoot she posed for during her first pregnancy.

The Barbadian singer, who rocked glitzy jewelry and stilettos in the topless pictures, reflected on pregnancy and motherhood in the caption and confirmed that her son was called RZA.

“In honor of my first pregnancy, embracing motherhood like a g, and the magic that this body made!” she wrote. “Baby RZA… he in there not having a clue how nuts his mama is, or how obsessed he was bout to make me #maternityshoot2022 #tobecontinued.”

The “Umbrella” singer welcomed her son in May 2022 with her partner A$AP Rocky.

They kept his name a secret. However, it was revealed that they called him RZA Athelston Mayers earlier this month when his birth certificate was published by The Daily Mail.

The “Rude Boy” singer announced her second pregnancy during her Super Bowl Halftime Show performance in February 2023.

The due date of her second baby has not been announced.

Nick Cannon Says Kanye Is In “Desperate Need Of Help”

Nick Cannon attempted to reach out to Kanye West after he made antisemitic comments.

Last year, the “Stronger” rapper hit headlines after he made a string of offensive remarks about Jewish people on social media and in interviews, leading to him becoming widely condemned and losing a series of sponsorships and partnerships.

During a recent interview for the Los Angeles Times, Nick revealed that he tried to speak to Kanye when he first became embroiled in the controversy.

“Kanye is saying some wild s**t, and I don’t know if he really believes it,” the TV personality told the outlet. “I tried to talk to him. I tried to put him with leaders in the Jewish community. I think it’s a lot more there. I just know he’s in desperate need of help and love and people to not abandon him.”

Nick is no stranger to sparking debate himself.

He was fired by ViacomCBS executives in 2020 after making racist and antisemitic remarks during a podcast episode but later issued an apology and committed to educating himself via conversations with Jewish leaders.

Rick Ross Demands DJ Envy Mop His Floors And Clean His Pool As Car Show Beef Intensifies

Rapper Rick Ross and DJ Envy have been throwing verbal daggers at each other, and at the core of their “beef” is which influencer has the better car show.

As reported by AllHipHop.com, Rozay plans to host his car show on June 3, provided he is not shut down by South Fulton, Georgia’s council members.

DJ Envy, one of the hosts of The Breakfast Club, plans to throw his “Drive Your Dreams” car show on May 28 in Memphis, TN.

The Maybach Music executive took to social media to mock Envy calling him “Beige Boy” and asking him to share with the public exactly how he lives.

“Show us how you live, Beige boy,” the rapper-turned-mogul said as he shows off his car lot on his spacious Promise Land property. “Please. I told you; you are not on my level. I don’t want to humiliate you.”

The digs continued as Ross mocked Envy with his many sponsors while implying he (Ross) is solely funding his car show.

At one point in an Instagram Live, captured by Hoodzone Productions, Rick Ross invoked the name of Young Dolph, and said the people of Memphis won’t let him get away with fronting in their city.

In a different clip, Ross claims that people are upset because of his new caps, fly top pieces that sport the car show’s logo. He said someone told him that in addition to the caps, Envy and others are upset because 50 Cent, Envy’s big homie, lost his house… mocking the “Power” showrunner by calling him by his first name.

A third clip shows the “Hustlin’” chart-topper in his foyer, claiming he is waiting for Envy to come to his home and mop his floors.

He said, “You’ve been a great co-host on the Charlamagne tha God show. You can come and mop my floors. Mop this marble out of respect.”

Ross told Envy he would like his girlfriend to steam the woodwork while he cleans the floor. He also tells Envy and his kids to clean his pool.

The video goes on, with Ross calling the radio personality a “clown” and taunting him with his custom cars, accessories, and even his own fire truck.

This beef has gone on for some time. In 2022, DJ Envy took to social media to try and mock Ross about the quality of cars the rapper has.

But in 2023, after getting smacked up on Instagram by Ross, Envy clapped back. During his show, he teased Ross for renting out his home to film movies like “Coming 2 America” and shows like “Boomerang.”

He added Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, and his friend 50 Cent would never do that.

The saga continues. Who do you think ethered the other more?

Lil Wop’s Trans Announcement Leaves Fans Confused

Lil Wop has fans confused (again) after posting a handful of pictures of himself dressed in women’s clothing.

On Friday (May 19), the Gucci Mane affiliate shared a photo of himself wearing a yellow wig, red bikini top and matching thigh-highs. He explained in the caption he’d decided to transition but didn’t specify his preferred pronouns. He wrote, “In The Transition Into Becoming A Full Transgender.”

Fans weren’t sure if this was a joke or he really has begun the process. As one person wrote, “I can’t tell if you’re trolling now or serious.” Another added, “At this point I think this is just your last ditch ‘effort’ to save your ‘career.’ This just doesn’t seem genuine at all bruh.”

Others were offended, writing things like, “As a transgender WOMAN.. someone transitioning to be a (transgender) is a mockery of the community.” Yet another said, “I’m transgender and please don’t say u want be trans for clout or attention being trans is not a joke or a attempt to get people to watch u. Being trans is a real decision, if u are serious good luck it’s not as easy as it look.”

A photo of Lil Wop in drag went viral earlier this month, but this is the first time he’s mentioned his intentions to become a woman. It appears Lil Wop is attempting to lure fans to his new OnlyFans page.

Lil Wop came out as bisexual in 2022. He also publicly admitted he’s attracted to feminine men and transgender women.

“Don’t get me wrong,” he said. “I ain’t out here sucking no d### or getting f##### in the ass or no s### like that, but I’ll make a n#### my b####. I’m masculine, so I’m a m############ king. I come from kings, royalty. I like power. I ain’t soft, sweet, or none of that s###. I just wanted to put that out to the world. So everybody’s welcome to come f### with me.”

Rick Ross’s Car Show Will Cause Traffic Nightmare Fayette County Officials Say

BAWSE!!!!

Rapper and businessman Rick Ross wants to host a car show and rodeo at his Fayetteville, GA home, but officials in Fayette County have shut that down.

The county would not approve permits for him to have the event claiming it will disrupt traffic in the otherwise slow-moving town but Rozay is willing to risk any fines, and is having the car show anyway.

He took to Instagram to make the announcement— sporting his beautiful red hog.

“Watch me get off this bike 😎 my apologies I’m excited!!!! @rickrosscarshow & Rodeo June 3rd,” he wrote.

A post shared by Rick Ross (@richforever)

Not everyone is excited about car show.

Council member Linda Pritchett representing District 7 was one who especially objected, saying too many people would come to South Fulton.

“It’s a logistical nightmare,” Pritchett said. “Anyone who wants to attend the event has to come through the city of South Fulton to get there.”

She was especially concerned about the intersection of Old National Highway and Highway 138 nearby, believing it would block local businesses. “

The council member said, “For 12-plus hours you will have a constant flow of traffic, a saturated, constant flow of people. Cars parked illegally and parked in shopping centers where patrons cannot park.”

Other business owners chimed in noting that there is congestion but believe it’s still going to be a good look.

Al Ransom, who manages Kolors Barbershop along Old National, said, “I think it’ll be good for business. I’m for it. If they figure out how to control the traffic and leave this area open for people park, it would be a good thing.”

Hopefully, Ross doesn’t change his plans.

Pig Latin Did Sheff G & Sleepy Hallow In?

I am just a little bit late on this, but I think it’s worth noting. When we talk about rappers, intelligence is not normally the first thing that comes to mind. As you already know, that was not always the case, especially with older rappers. However, in more recent times, we have noticed time and time again, rappers are getting busted for some of the dumbest things ever. I do think we may have a record-breaking moment here.

READ ALSO: Uhm, Why Didn’t Anybody Know Sheff G Was Out Of Jail?

A part of a 140-count indictment against Sheff G, Sleepy Hallow and 30 other men, the Laws describe exactly how they moved. I do believe they put in great effort, and did their best to avoid getting caught. But that was not enough, within the confines of their range. Apparently, these gentlemen tried to use a form of Pig Latin to show allegiance to their set (8 Trey Crips ), and also an attempt to disguise the crimes they were eventually arrested for. In this form of Pig Latin, they talk about violence, gun possession, and other various criminal activity. I do not know why they thought they would get away with it speaking freaking Pig Latin, but they were busted pretty effortlessly.

Here is what the NYPD Gang Unit said:

“Defendants and other members of the 8 Trey Crips and 9 Ways gang also used a distinct form of pig Latin to show gang allegiance and to attempt to disguise their discussions of acts of violence, gun possession and other gang business. In this version of pig Latin, the first letters or two of a word is removed from its beginning and moved to the end of the word, followed by the phrase ‘oggada,’ ‘aggada,’ or ‘ay.’ For example, ‘shot’ becomes ‘otshay’ or ‘otshaggada’ and ‘chop’ meaning firearm becomes ‘opchay’ or ‘opchaggada.'”

OMG, what made them this would work?

By the way, Sleepy Hallow has proclaimed his innocence. I hope they are!

Hallow feigned innocence for himself and big homie Sheff. “Don’t believe the internet,” he wrote. “We innocent.”

Megan Thee Stallion is officially an icon! Madame Tussauds has unveiled her wax figure to the world. Well, here it is!

What do you think? I think it is amazing! She has made history on so many occasions and here is another one. I continue to hear about other rapper’s fans be mad, most namely Nicki Minaj fans, but who can hate on this? Nobody!

Fans are worried about Jonah Hill. The actor has lost an incredible amount of weight over the years. He recently played the love interest of Lauren London, but there is no way she would go with bro looking like that.

But is he ok?

Young Guru has chastised Timbaland! This AI situation has really ahold of the Hip-Hop game. Timbaland is one of the people that has openly used it and Guru (not the Gangstarr rapper) is one straight up against it. Timbaland was exciting to “work with Biggie” on a song that was not done in the rapper’s lifetime. What do you think about this this?

Saucy Santana Tells NLE Choppa To Take His Thirst Traps To OnlyFans—But People Don’t Get It

NLE Choppa posted several photos of himself wearing nothing but a towel covering his nether regions to his Instagram account on Friday (May 19). Saucy Santana was one of the thousands who saw the suggestive photos and begged him to take that kind of content to OnlyFans. He wrote, “NLE plz!!! OK! Take it to OF! I’m aggravated.” Even Big Sean tossed a “pause” emoji in there as if to tell him to stop.

But problems arose when people misinterpreted Saucy Santana’s post and concluded he was flirting with Choppa. Some people were smart enough to understand what Saucy Santana meant and came to his defense.

One person wrote, “Why is everyone misinterpreting Santana comment ?? he is clearly NOT flirting with him & stating he should take these kind of pictures to only fans, not Instagram because he doesn’t want to see.” Another added, “This man said take it to Only Fans y’all Superrrrrrr Slowwwwwww. I wonder if people even graduate anymore.”

https://www.instagram.com/p/CscbWE3NXSI/?hl=en

There’s a sense NLE Choppa is getting on his fans’ nerves, too. The comment section of his post is lit up with people demanding he put some clothes on. One asked, “Bro do you know you got male followers?” Another said, “Not again,” suggesting this has happened one too many times.

NLE Choppa has yet to respond to Saucy Santana’s suggestion. But Saucy Santana did comment on a separate post, “Lol!!!! I’m just trolling!!! NLE is the bro’s! Let him live.”

Madame Tussauds Unveils Two Megan Thee Stallion Wax Figures

Madame Tussauds Las Vegas and Madame Tussauds New York present two new wax figures of Hip Hop star Megan Thee Stallion.

The tourist attraction museum unveiled the figures at Madame Tussauds Las Vegas on an interactive set featuring a metallic 10-foot stallion. Megan Thee Stallion’s Good News album era inspired the waxworks’ outfits. 

Good News dropped in November 2020 via 1501 Certified Entertainment/300 Entertainment. The Grammy winner’s discography also contains projects such as 2019’s Fever, 2020’s Suga, 2021’s Something for Thee Hotties, and 2022’s Traumazine.

“I feel like people always ask me when was the moment you knew you were famous? This is the moment!” said Megan Thee Stallion. “There are two versions of me in the most famous wax museum on the planet. Like, who am I? Them!” 

A team of around twenty artists took six months to recreate Megan Thee Stallion’s likeness for her wax figures. The sculptures will be available to the public at Madame Tussauds Las Vegas on May 20 and at Madame Tussauds New York beginning May 29. 

“We couldn’t have hoped for more ‘Good News’ than the addition of not one but two Megan Thee Stallion wax figures into our Las Vegas and New York attractions,” said Matthew Clarkson, Madame Tussauds Head of Marketing.

Matthew Clarkson continued, “Everybody here at Madame Tussauds loves her music, confidence, style, and star power which serves as an inspiration to so many.” Over the last year, Madame Tussauds also displayed wax figures of other Hip Hop artists like Lil Nas X and Missy Elliott.

Lil Wop Says He’s Transitioning To A Woman

Rapper Lil Wop is making a major change in his life.

One person was unsure if Wop is really sincere.

“I can’t tell if you’re trolling now or serious,” one person asked.

Multiple fans seemed to not have a real opinion on the actual transition but begged him to do one thing: “Bby if you gon be Trans…. GET A BETTER WIG PLS.”

One even said he thought she looked good. The owner of OTFMZ, P Da Don, commented, “Damn 😩 I still woulda smashed with the yellow hair pics but now it’s going too far 😢.”

Fetty Wap Begs Judge For Mandatory Minimum As Sentencing Date Looms

Fetty Wap was arrested on his way to Rolling Loud New York in October 2021 on drug trafficking charges. Authorities accused him and several others of using USPS trucks to smuggle drugs. The rapper will learn his fate on May 24 when he’s sentenced in the federal case. But apparently, Fetty Wap is making a last minute plea for a judge to impose only the mandatory minimum.

Legal docs obtained by TMZ reveal Fetty Wap is asking for a 5-year sentence after pleading guilty to conspiracy to distribute at least 500 grams of cocaine. Fetty Wap’s legal team said he “accepts full responsibility for his crimes, but his conduct here does not and should not define him.”

Fetty Wap’s attorneys included several letters from friends and family singing his praises. They also insisted he was only trying to provide for them financially. The federal government, however, wants Fetty Wap behind bars for 87-108 months. They say he willingly participated in a drug trafficking organization that flooded Long Island with cocaine.

The office of U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York Breon Peace argues Fetty “has used, and continues to use, his fame, sizeable platform and influence to glamorize the drug trade.” Consequently, Peace doesn’t think he deserves a break.

Prosecutors are also looking at Fetty Wap’s music as evidence he’s guilty, specifically the song “Trap Queen.”

“Even after his arrest and while awaiting trial in this very serious federal drug case, the defendant continued to glamorize the drug trade,” they said. “In November 2022, he released a song entitled ‘Sweet Yams’ where he sang about selling ‘yams.’ That’s code for grams of narcotics, and making significant money (i.e., ‘bands’) from that illegal trade.”

Wendy Williams Cancels Big Money Event Over Health Concerns

It seems like media maven Wendy Williams is still struggling with her health.

Her health has become such an issue that she has recently backed out of an appearance that would have paid her $25,000 at the Atlanta Ultimate Women’s  Expo.

The event was supposed to take place on Saturday, May 20 and Sunday, May 21.

He said, “She’s back! Get your Free Tickets to see the legendary Wendy Williams on stage May 20th at Cobb Galleria Centre. Wendy has a lot to say and she’s saying it exclusively to us.

#beauty #fashion #selfcare #womeninbusiness

Now, the event’s organizers are in full drive to do damage control.

“There is a video from Wendy that will be played Saturday, apologizing for the late cancellation,” according to the US Sun.

Sources say there were “questions about if Wendy was well enough” to be a special guest speaker at the expo, however, there was some pushing to have her attend despite concern.

“Wendy’s ability to perform has been rocky at best. She can put together a sentence one day but not the next,” the insider added. “There have been serious questions recently about if she will ever get better.”

To the fans, the Expo sent a notice to explain her absence from the event.

“We regretfully have to inform you that Wendy Williams would not be appearing at The Ultimate Women’s Expo in Atlanta on May 20th, 2023. It was with great consideration that we felt it was best for Wendy to join the Ultimate Women’s Expo at a later date.

“We look forward to releasing those details when they are confirmed. We are grateful to the Grammy award-winning R&B artist, Monica, for being a great addition as the Keynote speaker in Wendy’s absence. Can’t wait to see you soon!”

AllHipHop.com has reported extensively on Ms. Williams’ health concerns and continues to pray for her health.

JAY-Z & Beyoncé Shell Out $200M For Most Expensive Mansion In California History

JAY-Z and Beyoncé have a combined net worth totaling more than $2.5 billion. Between Hov’s lucrative business endeavors and Beyoncé’s successful music career, money is certainly not one of their 99 problems.

So it makes sense the couple could shell out $200 million for their new Malibu mansion, the most expensive home in California. (The previous record was $177 million.)

The house was owned and built by art collector William Bell, who spent 15 years building the all-concrete structure.

At more than 30,000 square feet, Mr. & Mrs. Shawn Carter will certainly have plenty of space for their small brood of children.

The house sits on an eight-acre bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean in the Paradise Cove area (also known as Billionaires’ Row). The expansive home is designed by Japanese architect Tadao Ando, who’s also designing Kanye West’s latest Malibu purchase.

JAY-Z and Beyoncé purchased a Bel-Air mansion for $88 million in 2017 and spent millions more on upgrades to push it over the $100 million mark. They have at least one home in the Bahamas and, at one point, another in New Orleans.

‘Fast X’ Soundtrack Arrives With Songs By NLE Choppa, NBA YoungBoy, Lil Durk & More

Artist Partner Group, Universal Pictures, and Universal Music Group partnered to release Fast X: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack.

Lil Durk, EST Gee, Key Glock, BIA, and Lil TJay are among the music acts to appear on the Fast X album. Kodak Black, NLE Choppa, Jimin of BTS, JVKE, and Muni Long collaborated for the “Angel Pt. 1” single.

A music video for “Angel Pt. 1” lives on NLE Choppa’s YouTube channel. The Stripmall-directed visuals have amassed more than 5 million views since it premiered on May 18. It is currently trending in the Top 10 of YouTube’s music section.

In addition, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Dermot Kennedy, and Bailey Zimmerman teamed up for the “Won’t Back Down” video. Other tracks that made the Fast X soundtrack include “Let’s Ride” by YG, Lambo4oe, and Ty Dolla $ign as well as “My City” by 24kGoldn, Kane Brown, and G Herbo.

“I couldn’t be prouder of the teamwork between the artists, producers, writers, filmmakers, and creative executives to make such a unique and exciting album,” states Mike Caren, Chief Executive Officer of Artist Partner Group.

Fast X hit American theaters on Friday, May 19. The tenth installment in the action film franchise stars Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, John Cena, Nathalie Emmanuel, Jordana Brewster, Helen Mirren, Brie Larson, Jason Statham, Jason Momoa, and Charlize Theron.
