As Donald Trump gears up to testify in his New York civil fraud trial on November 6, some supporters are making noise to rally support for the embattled ex-President of the United States.
While some might paint the picture of the average MAGA maniac as an ultra-right conservative or perhaps a redneck Southerner, Donald Trump has quite a following in the Hip-Hop space.
Another chart-topper who has once again, taken his support of Donald Trump to the next level is Lil Pump. During a recent performance at the University of Mississippi, the rapper had the crowd chanting, “We want Trump.”
There is no context as to why the crowd went along with Lil Pump and shouted the mantra, but a sea of white fists pumped forward in the air.

“I love your sound. love your music. And speaking of sound and music and other things – one of the big superstars of the world… Lil Pimp!” Donald Trump erroneously said.
G Herbo is embroiled in a high-stakes legal battle with his former manager, Joseph “JB” Bowden, and Bowden’s record label, Machine Entertainment. The dispute centers around an alleged $8.4 million debt G Herbo owes to Machine and a staggering $40 million that G Herbo claims he’s owed due to years of financial manipulation.
The heart of the matter lies in a series of contracts that began when G Herbo was just a minor. According to documents obtained exclusively by AllHipHop.com, Machine entered into what G Herbo describes as “unfair and one-sided deals” to obtain his copyrights and other valuable rights. The contracts, G Herbo alleges, were designed to keep him in perpetual debt, ensuring that he remained financially dependent on Bowden.
“Over the years, [I] been independent working with other labels, Sony/RED, Epic, now we on the Republic [Records] system,” G Herbo said in a live stream addressing the beef. “I never had a direct deal with the labor. It’s always been with Machine. So, over the years, when we started generating money, probably this was on the Sony system, he pulled me to the side like, ‘bro, let me run your business for you.’ I wasn’t really business savvy. This was somebody I trust with my life, like my brother, like a father figure. ‘I’m your business for you, bro.’ Alright, so from then on, he’s running my business.”
The relationship between a rapper and their manager is often compared to that of a fiduciary, where the manager is expected to act in the best interests of the client. However, G Herbo’s legal team argues that Bowden failed to uphold this responsibility.
Not only did Bowden control G Herbo’s recording rights, but he also served as his business manager, creating a conflict of interest that was never fully disclosed to the young rapper.
“Because [G Herbo’s] money was controlled by [Bowden and Machine], [G Herbo] was forced to ask Bowden to make purchases on his behalf, including for vehicles, [G Herbo’s] rent, and his mother’s rent,” the rapper’s lawyer, Marguerite E. Patrick, said. “Bowden’s conduct, in depriving [G Herbo] of his own funds, was designed to prevent [G Herbo] from leaving Machine or from being able to successfully work with another business manager who would actually look out for [G Herbo’s] best interests.”
The crux of the financial dispute revolves around a financial report provided by Machine, which claims that G Herbo owes them a recoupable balance of $8.4 million.
G Herbo vehemently disputes this figure, pointing to the years of financial mismanagement and the lack of transparency in accounting. But the story takes a darker turn with the introduction of the Release Agreement, signed on August 25, 2023.
This agreement was meant to nullify previous contracts and return G Herbo’s copyrights and other rights to him. However, shortly after its signing, Bowden and his company began to spread allegations that the agreement was signed under duress.
G Herbo has refuted these allegations, labeling them as attempts to extort him into repudiating the Release Agreement.
“Bowden falsely claimed to representatives of [G Herbo] that he purportedly was threatened with guns and other violence into signing the Release Agreement, and he purportedly was prevented physically from leaving the recording studio until he signed the Release Agreement. These claims are outright lies,” Patrick said, defending her client.
“There were no guns brandished at the studio meeting, nor were there any threats of violence. Moreover, Bowden was not prevented from leaving the studio. In fact, Bowden initially left the studio without having signed the Release Agreement. He then returned to the studio to sign the Release Agreement, after apparently having given the matter more thought,” G Herbo’s lawyer Marguerite E. Patrick continued.
G Herbo further alleges that Bowden and his company have defamed him by sharing these false accusations with influential figures in the music industry and want $20 million for trying to ruin his reputation.
Despite the Release Agreement’s clear terms, Bowden and Machine continue to exploit G Herbo’s music, collecting royalties and payments without any legal right, leading G Herbo to seek legal redress, hoping to enforce the Release Agreement, reclaim his intellectual property, and receive another $20 million for the alleged breaches of fiduciary duty.
“Young artists, you got to stand your ground, man, what’s right if I’m saying it. I’m blessed to be able to do this here. I mean, have the resources to be able to still provide for myself, my family, go to war in this way, the right way, the legal way,” G Herbo said.
The wait for new Rapsody music is nearly over. Four years after releasing her third studio album, EVE, the Snow Hill, North Carolina native has returned with a new Hit-Boy-produced single called “Asteroids,” which arrived on Monday (October 30).
Rap made the announcement via Instagram, writing in the caption, “#RapIsBack ‘Asteroids produced by @hitboy out at midnight.” The clip included a computer screen with comments from people ranging from, “We need a new album it’s been a minute” to “Rapsody is so overlooked.” Rapsody joins the conversation at the end and types simply, “I’m back.”
Speaking to AllHipHop, Rapsody detailed what fans can expect from the new song. As she explained, “The record is about owning your full light. Not the lamp light that fills a room, but the moon light that lights the night! The dark spaces. That’s a compass back to yourself. When you step outside of the matrix and live in Zion, your truth is where we exist in our most free and fearless selves. I took the red pill. I don’t measure my worth by the accolades, material things, numbers or any other false data points. It’s how I connect with people as I am. Raw and true.”
Rapsody released her debut album, The Idea of Beautiful, in 2012 not long after signing with 9th Wonder’s label, It’s a Wonderful World Music Group. In 2015, she was featured on Kendrick Lamar’s single “Complexion (A Zulu Love)” from To Pimp A Butterfly and dropped her sophomore album, Laila’s Wisdom, in 2017. The project, which arrived months after she signed with JAY-Z’s Roc Nation, was nominated for two Grammy Awards in the Best Rap Album and Best Rap Song category the following year.
Her third album, EVE, arrived in August 2019 with contributions from J. Cole, Queen Latifah, GZA, D’Angelo, Sir and JID, among others. Each song is named after an influential Black woman who connected with Rapsody in some way—from Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey to Lauryn Hill and Aaliyah. The album received critical acclaim across the board due to Rapsody’s penchant for phenomenal songwriting and effortless wordplay.
Rap did confirm her next album was finished in a recent Instagram post with the caption: “‘The hardest step she ever took was to blindly trust in who she was.’ Album done.”

Their breakout hit, “Blicky,” took the world by storm. The song quickly became their first number one hit, with over 30 Million views on TikTok, surpassing expectations. The massive popularity and success of the song is in thanks in part to their creation of a viral dance challenge. Now, with a dedicated audience and fans who are tuned into their every move, the duo is keeping up the momentum with “ASSEMBOL.”
The duo has successfully leveraged social media to connect with their fans on a personal level, regularly going live and involving their followers in various activities, including talent showcases and giveaways. They recently went viral at the VMA awards for their signature pose, which is just them being original.
Fresh x Reckless, who hail from New Orleans, have carved their own unique path in the music industry. The duo’s journey began when they met at a video shoot several years ago, merging their talents to create a dynamic group that can do it all. The name “Fresh x Reckless” embodies their essence – “clean cuts” combined with the unbridled energy of the 504. Fresh x Reckless explained, “Running around, fresh, and we can get reckless.”
Fresh x Reckless are not immune to the occasional criticism, but they believe in staying true to themselves. They shared their philosophy, saying, “We don’t care what people say, but we care.” They’re determined to keep blazing their own trail and have garnered support from fellow artists like Rae Sremmurd, who acknowledged their unique contributions to the industry.
“ASSEMBOL,” showcases a different side of their artistry. “We’re more serious with our artistry,” they noted. They are here to stay and ready to engage with their fans, who have shown immense love and support throughout their journey. The track symbolizes their journey and connection with their fans, and what’s to come in the future.
If you’re in the mood for music that keeps you on your toes, C’s is the artist to watch. Hailing from Staten Island, New York, and now based in the Big Apple, C’s is an emerging force in the hip-hop scene. In this interview, we delve into his roots, influences, and the exciting projects that keep his fans eagerly awaiting his next move.
An artist’s name often carries a unique story, and for C’s, it’s a reflection of his roots. “My artist name was what I always went by in the hood, and it stuck,” he explains. This connection to his community grounds his artistry. Describing his sound as unpredictable, C’s takes listeners on a journey with every track. “You never really know what to expect with me,” he says.

His music is a reflection of his emotions and the beat’s mood when he creates, ensuring each song is a unique experience.
Lil Wayne, 50 Cent, Meek Mill, Nipsey Hussle, and Dave East are among C’s main musical influences. The impact of artists like Lil Wayne resonates deeply, as he notes, “What Wayne was doing back then was phenomenal, and for me, that was all the inspiration I needed at the time.” It’s clear that C’s draws from the greats to craft his own distinctive style. He is currently promoting his recent releases, “Hoodshit (GODbody freestyle)” and “Owambe (Last Last freestyle) ft. Dave East.” The inspiration behind these tracks is simple yet profound: “nothing but the love for the art form and my situation in those moments.” It’s this genuine passion that shines through in his music.
While there’s no set release date for his next project, fans can expect the first single to drop sometime in December. The mystery surrounding the release only adds to the excitement, as listeners eagerly await C’s next musical endeavor.

SZA has admitted that she resents the success her first solo song to go No. 1 around the world, “Kill Bill.”
The 33-year-old singer-songwriter has shared her thoughts on the success of her 2022 track which has lived on the Billboard Hot 100 for over 40 weeks.
While speaking to The Wall Street Journal for a new interview, SZA revealed that the revenge track “took no thought.”
“The songs that I care so much about, that I tried so hard on, people be like, ‘That’s nice,'” SZA told the publication. “But the s### that took no thought and came out of my mouth in five seconds? ‘Girl, that’s the one.'”
Elsewhere in the interview, the singer revealed that she has mixed feelings about feedback when it comes to her music.
“If you accept my first draft,” she said, “I won’t trust you.”
The artist, real name Solána Rowe, used Drake’s single, “Slime You Out,” which she appeared on, as an example.
“I just handed in the first draft to Drake, and he’s putting it on his album,” she stated. “I’m scared because I handed in second vocals and he didn’t use that. And now I’m like, ‘Are you trying to sabotage me?’ I know that’s not true. I literally know that’s not true, but that’s how bad I feel about my first draft. When things come from an effortless space, I almost can’t enjoy it.”
“Slime You Out” appeared in Drake’s latest album, For All the Dogs, and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Despite the seemingly endless online criticism, it’s clear Kim Kardashian—reality television star and Kanye West’s ex-wife—knows how to build an empire.
On Monday (October 30), she announced her undergarment company, SKIMS, will be teaming up with the National Basketball Association (NBA) as its underwear partner as well as the WNBA. Kardashian took to Instagram to share the news.
“Introducing the SKIMS and NBA partnership,” the caption read. “@SKIMS is now the Official Underwear Partner of the @NBA, @WNBA and @Usabasketball.”
In a press release, Kardashian spoke about how proud she is of the partnership.
“I am incredibly proud of SKIMS partnership with the NBA, as it is a reflection of SKIMS growing influence on culture,” she said. “Together, SKIMS and the NBA will connect people of all backgrounds through fashion, sport, and talent, and I look forward to seeing the partnership thrive.
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver also said he was excited to partner, noting that the brand, which just launched its SKIMS Men’s line on October 26, is growing extremely fast. SKIMS launched a new campaign, “Every Body is Wearing SKIMS” featuring NBA All-Star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and their athlete endorsers.
“SKIMS has quickly become one of our most culturally-influential brands. We look forward to bringing NBA fans and SKIMS users unique experiences, new offerings and premium products through our partnership,” Silver said in a statement.
The partnership includes media exposure on NBA and WNBA platforms, with on-court virtual signage and digital presence during national broadcasts.
It’s safe to say Ice Spice broke the internet this weekend—but apparently she might need the presence of the Holy Spirit as a result. Assuming your timelines weren’t flooded with endless clips of Ice Spice’s derriere, the rapper made multiple cameos at Philadelphia’s Powerhouse 2023 concert.
On Sunday (October 29), she opted for a Halloween costume, taking the stage in a teenie-tiny Betty Boop costume. But her outfit for Saturday’s (October 28_ performance was just as short and revealing as the aforementioned ensemble.
Of course, Ice Spice went viral after multiple camera angles caught her serving up unadulterated cake and posts about it sprung up like wildfires on social media. But it appears her blatant display of cleavage did more than entice the mind. In a story she posted to her Instagram account, Spice revealed a fan had given her a whole Bible following her performance in her Betty Boop costume. “Why a fan gave me a bible after the show,” she wrote in the caption of a photo of The Good Book.
While it’s yet to be determined whether Spice actually needs Jesus, the data is irrefutable concerning her ability to translate sex appeal into the marketability of her music. For example, one Twitter user highlighted that her breakout “Deli” single garnered more than 700,000 streams the same day she brought out the slinky Betty Boop costume. So, in a sense, she’s racking up streams for serving up her assets and it’s working in her favor right now. Whether that’s sustainable is one of those “known unknowns.” While we figure it out, peep more footage of Ice Spice tearing down the stage while wagging her wagon below.
Blueface’s longtime manager, Wack 100, believes he has definitive proof Biggie Smalls identified as bisexual. Wack revealed his theory during his recent interview with No Jumper, where he explained the basis of the claim was rooted in a bet he lost a couple of hundred dollars on.
“They betted me that Biggie was bisexual,” Wack said in part. “I betted $200 that he wasn’t—and they played four or five songs of Biggie saying bi s###.”
Of course Wack didn’t stop there, and instead went pressed on while citing lyrics from Biggie’s discography such as the “You look so good, huh/I suck on your daddy’s d###” bar from his classic record “Me & My B####.”
Wack also brought up a line from Biggie’s 1994 track “Just Playing (Dreams)” in which he dealt a disrespectful sneak diss blow to the female-led R&B group Xscape as he raps, “I’d f### RuPaul before I f### them ugly ass Xscape b####es.” He later apologized for the bars, remarking that they were all in the name of sarcasm and a product of his unique sense of humor.
No Jumper‘s host noted Biggie was known primarily for his fringe and often controversial and witty sense of humor—suggesting the suspect bars Wack is dwelling on were solely for comedic effect.
At the end of the day, it really isn’t our business what Biggie’s sexual preference was, unless he made it ours through his own free will. Word to Dwight Howard! However, one can infer, simply by his track record of famous flings, which include romances with Faith Evans and Lil Kim, that Biggie was a ladies’ man.
There are a lot of changes going on in Jeezy’s life. In addition to divorcing his soon-to-be former wife, Jeanie Mai, he’s just announced his departure from his longtime label, Def Jam Recordings.
After 20 years, the Grammy Award-nominated rapper is apparently bidding sweet adieu to the company that helped propel his career to its current heights. His final project for the label, I Might Forgive… But I Don’t Forget, will be released on Friday (November 3).
The double album will be released through Jeezy’s label CTE New World, in partnership with Stem Distribution. The first half, I Might Forget, includes production from ATL Jacob, Ricky Polo, Cubeatz, Hendrix and more. The second half, But I Don’t Forget, was entirely produced by The J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League.
“Jeezy reflects on the trauma, obstacles, and personal growth he has experienced on his journey to stardom, success, and independence,” a rep for Jeezy explained.
The album also comes after the release of his New York Times best-selling memoir, Adversity for Sale. It deals with how the artist has embraced therapy as a vital tool for understanding his trauma and charting a path forward in life.
“Musically, Jeezy continues this powerful message to his devoted fans, encouraging them to persevere on their own journeys and strive to be the best versions of themselves while using his life and experience as the foundation for healing,” a rep for the label said. “With ‘I Might Forgive… But I Don’t Forget,’ Jeezy vulnerably invites fans to join him on a transformative musical journey.”
Get ready for some juicy rap beef—served medium well. Saucy Santana is throwing some serious shade at Akademiks, but why? What did Ak do? It all began when Akademiks called Yung Miami out for what he perceived as her perpetuating homophobia. The City Girls rapper used some choice words to describe Akademiks during their ongoing feud, and that set off a firestorm of controversy. Those words started with an “F” and we cannot use it anymore.
Santana, who’s openly gay, surprisingly didn’t take issue with the City Girl, who’s a friend. He doubled down and re-aligned himself firmly with Yung Miami.
“Akademiks, you keep talking about what the f##k Caresha said to you, but how she feels about you, is how she feels about you,” he said online. “Me being her best friend, it doesn’t have anything to do with me.” (By the way, I’m just finding out they are best friends. I thought JT was her bestie!)
The real heat started when Santana waded use of derogatory language like the “F word.” He said, “In the hood, and in a lot of urban cultures, when you see boys that are acting feminine, that are being messy, that are being extra and doing f#g sh#t, that’s what you address them as. Even as me being a gay man, I don’t move like a f#g. And it’s a lot of other gay boys that are feminine or whatever, but everybody don’t move like f#gs. You move like a f#g.” DAYUM!
Santana didn’t stop there; he accused Akademiks of “always starting sh#t” and brought up his latest beef with GloRilla. But what shocked me was the notion that he might want to fight Ak. Santana revealed that he and his crew were eagerly awaiting a showdown with Akademiks at the Roots Picnic in Philly. Then he extended an invitation to him to come out to Yung Miami‘s Halloween party in Miami. Now that’s something I would love to see! I wonder how many people will be dressed as clowns?
Hot Spice!
Jay Critch also chimed in, and he’s been keeping that same energy for a minute. It seems like Akademiks is becoming the ultimate target in this thing of ours. Stay tuned, folks!
Halloween has always been a defining part of BBY GOYARD‘s brand, as he was born on October 28th. Last year, he released his “4THWALL” LP with a horror short film Directed by Nick Welch, which was a significant success. The project charted as high as #4 on the U.S. TikTok Charts, with “VETTE SUM (SHANNONGRAM),” giving the MD-bred BBY GOYARD his second TikTok hit since his 2018’s “Run Shannon Run” and landing the hyperpop pioneer his 10-city headlining tour this past August.
Now continuing this tradition of Halloween rollouts, BBY GOYARD is back with a single, “CURSEDLIFE,” on Friday the 13th, kicking off his new project rollout. The single will accompany his second annual horror-inspired music video, an interpretation of the cult classic horror “Begotten” film, directed by himself and produced by Very Rare Cinema.
The enigmatic star took his talents to Gabe P.’s On The Radar for a new freestyle that created some excellent steam over the week. His day-one fans were happy to see his versatility on display. Be sure to press play on the 2-minute lyrical exercise HERE. Shannon also sat down for a dope interview with OTR that can be watched HERE.
When asked about his latest release, the bubbling superstar stated, “Taking inspiration from a niche cult classic film titled, ‘Begotten,’ this found-footage style video is meant to have you feeling uneasy and questioning the symbolic nature behind it,” said BBY GOYARD in a statement about the music video. “With an ominous chord progression and Lo-fi melodic vocals, ‘CURSEDLIFE’ is perfect for Halloween.”
This leads into Shannon’s SPIRIT Mixtape, set to drop October 27th and hosted by Canadian DJ Smokey and hip-hop legends Evil Empire, famously known for hosting mixtapes for legends such as French Montana, Akon, and Lil Wayne.
Earvin “Magic” Johnson became a household name as a member of the “Showtime” Los Angeles Lakers teams of the 1980s/early 1990s. The former Michigan State University player also built a financial empire.
According to Forbes, Magic Johnson has reached billionaire status. The 106-year-old business publication listed the 5-time NBA champion as just the fourth professional athlete to attain a $1 billion net worth.
“There’s no higher sports league than the NFL, and it’s been hard for us to get into the league,” Johnson said about African Americans acquiring NFL ownership. He added, “It’s important because now all African-Americans and minorities in this country feel like they’re owners of this team, too.”
In addition, Magic Johnson launched movie theaters across the United States. His portfolio also includes a 50/50 venture with Starbucks and a 60% stake in Iowa-based life insurance company EquiTrust.
Kodak Black is perhaps the most-talked-about rapper at the moment but not because of his music. The “Tunnel Vision” rhymer went on a rampage against the rap industry during a recent interview.
While appearing on N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN’s Drink Champs podcast, Kodak Black took aim at Atlanta-based rap stars 21 Savage and Latto. He also blasted Atlanta Hip-Hop legends T.I. and Big Boi.
N.O.R.E asked Kodak to choose between OutKast and fellow southern rap duo UGK. The 26-year-old Florida native took that as an opportunity to throw direct shots at one-half of Kast.
“Exclude Big Boi’s ass, though,” Kodak Black said. “Exclude him. That f### n#### tried to get me kicked off the label. He tried to get me kicked off Atlantic. Him and T.I.’s b####-ass.”
Kodak also added, “I ain’t gonna lie, when I was a young n####, I used to always say like how T.I. looked on the ATL movie and s###. I used to always say Big Boi looks like T.I. Like, a little bit of T.I., then you get the C-Murder and s###.”
Both T.I. and Big Boi starred in the 2006 cult classic ATL. The cast of that Chris Robinson-directed motion picture also included Evan Ross, Lauren London, Jackie Long, Jason Weaver, Albert Daniels, Monica, Bone Crusher, and Killer Mike.
Nicholas “YBN Nahmir” Simmons scored a Platinum plaque for his 2017 single “Rubbin Off the Paint.” That early success in the music business seemed like the then-teenager was set to be a big breakout Hip-Hop star.
However, YBN Nahmir’s career has cooled down over the last several years. The 23-year-old rapper has been relatively quiet when it comes to new tracks. It turns out there could be a reason for the low output.
Simmons took to the X platform on October 29 to share some personal information. He posted, “Rehab soon. Understanding your addiction & admitting to it is the 1st step. Pray for me on this hard journey.”
As some of his fans showed support for his decision to enter rehabilitation, YBN Nahmir thanked his followers on the social media platform. Last year, he admitted to having a drinking problem.
“I feel like it’s best for me to just get this out my system. For 3 years I’ve been struggling with an alcoholic addiction. I’ve changed so much due to it, & not in the right ways. I’ve pushed so many of my [loved] ones away & the people I care about because of it,” tweeted Nahmir in March 2022.
Namir released his Visionland album in 2021 via Atlantic Records. That project included contributions by Ty Dolla $ign, G Herbo, 21 Savage, G-Eazy, Offset, E-40, Too $hort, and more. This year saw Nahmir release “Get Her Back!” featuring IMNOTDEVY. He also made an appearance on “West Coast” by G-Consta.
21 Savage and Kodak Black are in the middle of a back-and-forth online. The two southern rappers became trending topics on social media over the weekend.
Apparently, Kodak Black feels 21 Savage somehow changed after working with Drake to create their joint 2022 project Her Loss. The South Florida native expressed his thoughts on the situation while appearing on the Drink Champs podcast.
“Drake just got a certain little effect that he do to m############ and s###,” Kodak stated. “After the album they did together, all of a sudden, m############ felt like… on that p####-ass s###. You vocalize it for real on the ‘Gram, on the internet, like you ain’t never vibe with me and s###.”
A clip of Kodak Black’s comments spread across the internet. 21 Savage decided to respond to Kodak on the X platform. The Atlanta-based rap star simply posted over 40 blue cap emojis, signifying he believes what Kodak said was untrue.
21 Savage Suggests Kodak Black Is In His Feelings Over Freshman Class Comments
In addition, Savage addressed Kodak Black during an Instagram Live session. In the video, the Grammy winner implies he was never that close to Kodak and suggests the beef is really over something he said about the 2016 XXL Freshman Class.
‘First of all, what’s supposed to [have] changed? I ain’t grow up with you, n####. I don’t know you,” responded 21 Savage. “You rap, I rap. I always supported you and s### ’cause I f##### with your movement, I f##### with what you had going on.”
He continued, “You’re talking about I switched up. You in your feelings ’cause I’m on Clubhouse and they asked me – I can’t believe I’m even doing this weak-ass s### on m############ Live. I’m on Clubhouse. They asked me who I feel like who could win in a Verzuz from the Freshman Class. You’re the only n#### to get in your feelings.”
U.K. Grime pioneers Wiley and Dizzee Rascal ended their bitter 20-year feud in epic fashion this weekend.
On Saturday night, Dizzee Rascal had fans in a frenzy at his Dubai concert, surprising the crowd with a guest appearance from his longtime nemesis, Wiley.
The former friends and collaborators have engaged in a bitter feud that has been called the U.K. version of the Jay-Z/Nas beef. However, while Hov and Nas eventually settled their differences, the East London grime godfathers never mended their bridges.
Dizzee was originally part of Wiley’s Roll Deep crew, and both were pivotal figures in London’s burgeoning grime scene. However, the pair fell out in the Summer of 2003, with Dizzee refusing to speak to Wiley after a violent altercation with a rival crew, which resulted in him getting stabbed. According to Wiley, Dizzee Rascal blamed him for the brawl and never spoke to him again.
However, on Saturday night (October 28), Wiley and Dizzee Rascal finally put their issues behind them. The duo appeared onstage together at the Emirates Golf Club in Dubai, causing U.K. Grime fans to lose their minds. The “Dance Wiv Me” hitmaker shared a video of the moment his former foe joined him onstage. He posted the clip on X, captioned with the shaking hands emoji. Watch the epic moment below.
Meanwhile, Wiley reflected on reuniting with Dizzee Rascal. “Time is the only healer I know,” he shared. “I say this cos I used to think money was a healer but it’s not.”
Time is the only healer I know. I say this cos I used to think money was a healer but it’s not.
Halle Bailey and her boyfriend DDG went to Kendal Jenner’s star-studded Halloween bash dressed as Janet Jackson and Tupac in Poetic Justice.
The young couple donned replica looks from the 1993 movie, with Halle wearing a matching black beret, shirt and jeans. She also covered her long locs with braids and did her makeup, just like Janet’s Justice. DDG dressed as Tupac’s character Lucky, wearing an Atlanta Braves jersey and backwards baseball cap.
She took to Instagram to share a photo album of images of the pair dressed as ‘Pac and Janet. While her recent appearances led to pregnancy rumors, with Halle covering her stomach in every photo, she did not hide her belly in these shots. Check them out below.
Halle and DDG also recreated a classic moment from the film where Janet Jackson asks Tupac what he “really” wants from her. Watch the scene and compare Halle and DDG’s version below.
Meanwhile, Halle Bailey recently opened up about being in love during a May interview with People.
“I think the best thing about young love is that you’re able to continue to find yourself through this journey of loving somebody else,” she explained. “And you’re discovering new parts of yourself and maybe things that you didn’t notice before about your heart.”
DDG revealed the pair bonded over 50 Cent’s “Many Men” after he slid in her DMs and said he sees them getting married in the future.
“I’ve never been with nobody that’s like really motivated me like she do,” he said during an appearance on The Breakfast Club last November. “I’m seeing different s###. I ain’t really been around this type of s### before.”
However, her post ruffled some feathers, with one fan calling her out for posting pics that should be for her man’s eyes only.
“Y’all can call me lame but only one person suppose to be seeing these,” the fan wrote.
In response, Latto shared a screenshot of her sending the image to “Boo Daddyyyy” for approval.
“Too much for my savage fenty post?” she asked. Latto’s man evidently disagreed with the disgruntled commenter. “No you look good,” he replied, adding a trio of heart eyes emojis.
Meanwhile, Snoop Dogg gave Latto some advice on handling the haters in a recent Rolling Stone feature.
“Once you hit a new level, it just be “new level, new devils,” the Atlanta rapper told the West Coast legend.
“If you’re doing what you’re supposed to do, n##### supposed to hate,” Snoop replied. “Let the hate s### inspire you to do great. And then at the same time, the only way you could beat hate is with love. You can’t match they energy and try to [hate them back].”
