U.K. Drill Artist Digga D Becomes Youngest Rapper To Headline London’s Iconic Royal Albert Hall

Digga D has made history with his performance at the famous Royal Albert Hall in London. 

The “Pump 101” hitmaker headlined a sold-out show at the iconic venue on Monday night (October 23), making him the youngest rapper to do so, according to the landmark’s official website. Digga D 

 also hosted a workshop tailored for young musicians before debuting on the Royal Albert Hall main stage.  

One video from the event caused concern among fans who believed Digga D had been arrested. A clip surfaced online appearing to show cops hauling the West Londoner offstage in handcuffs. 

However, concertgoers assured that the “arrest” was part of the act, likely referring to the harsh condition of the rapper’s Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO). The order, the first of its kind in the U.K., restricts who he can see, where he can go, and what he can rap about. Digga D must submit lyrics to the Metropolitan Police within 24 hours of release. 

Other footage from the event shows Digga D rocking the crowd with a string of previous hits.  

Meanwhile, Digga D recently reflected on his journey from street life to headlining the Royal Albert Hall.  

“I’ve spent most my teenage years in jail or on tag,” he shared on his Instagram Story. I used to do 24hr shifts and sleep in blocks. Everyone in grove will tell you that nobody wanted this s### more than me.” 

He shared his joy at transforming his life “for the better” and promised to “break records,” while continuing to drop “authentic” music.

Yung Miami Slams Haters Over City Girls’ “RAW” Album Sales Projections 

By: London Jennn Updated Category: News

Yung Miami is hitting back at her haters. The City Girls rapper took to Twitter Monday (October 23) to share a selfie with her followers. While many fans praised her good looks and facial features in the replies, one troll decided to shade Yung Miami.  

“6-9k first week,” they wrote, referring to first-week sales projections for City Girls’ latest album, RAW.

Yung Miami fired back with a jab of her own, flipping the criticism levied against her in the past: “That’s good for a b#### who voice y’all hate and can’t rap.”  

Earlier in the day, Yung Miami told her haters to “Keep my name out y’all mouth” and warned she was keeping receipts.  

“All of a sudden everybody hate me, but I’m bookmarking everything,” she wrote. “I love to make a b#### eat they words!” 

City Girls’ new album RAW (an acronym for “Real Ass W#####”) is expected to move between 6,000 and 8,000 album-equivalent units in the first week, a drop from 2020’s City on Lock, which sold around 19,000 in the same period.  

In a recent interview, Yung Miami explained how she copes with the negative attention fame brings. 

“You just learn to deal with being a public figure. You know what comes with it as far as criticism, trending, people talking about you—it’s become natural,” Yung Miami told Elle. “It’s like an everyday part of your life. Everyday somebody’s gonna wake up and tweet about you; you’re a celebrity, you’re famous. It’s just one of those things, which is, if you get it, you get it. It don’t really faze us.” 

Lil Wayne Reacts To Viral Waxwork After It Was Dragged On Social Media

Lil Wayne has spoken! 

The Young Money Records founder has shared his thoughts on a wax replica of him commissioned by The Hollywood Wax Museum in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. While the figure has been on display since last year, videos of the waxwork have recently been doing the rounds on social media.  

The clip has gone viral, with people unimpressed by the Lil Wayne waxwork, which features the rapper bare-chested in an arms outstretched pose, displaying his tattoos.  

“Tory Lanez escaping and posing as a Lil Wayne wax figure wasn’t on my bingo card,” one person joked, while another likened the figure to Trippie Redd. “Wax Statue Weezy Look like Trippie Redd dressed as Lil Wayne for Halloween.” 

Others saw the creation as an insult.  

“That Lil Wayne wax figure is so damn disrespectful lmfaoooo,” another person stated. ‘And why they did his hair like that?!?!! N#### had nice dreads they didn’t always look like they’re deteriorating. 

Meanwhile, Lil Wayne caught wind of the attention his waxwork received. He took to X (formerly Twitter) Monday (October 23) to weigh in on the viral video and he’s not impressed.  

“Sorry wax museum but dat s### ain’t me!” he said before praising the museum for attempting. “You tried tho and I appreciate the effort.” 

Meanwhile, earlier this week, another museum promised to fix a whitewashed waxwork of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.  

He took to social media to request the Grevin Museum in Paris, France update his figure “with some important details and improvements — starting with my skin color.” 

The museum told Deadline they would “remedy it as quickly as possible.”

Joe Budden is having a laugh at DJ Envy’s expense, clowning the host of The Breakfast Club for doing his job amid the scandal over his alleged ties to a real estate Ponzi scheme.  

In a clip from the latest episode of The Joe Budden Podcast, the team addresses the arrest of DJ Envy’s former business partner, Cesar Pina. They also questioned iHeartRadio allowing Envy to keep his job at The Breakfast Club amid the allegations.  

“I got to give it to Envy,” Budden said. “He’s still at work talking about ‘Morning!’ We as the audience like, ‘N####, you can shut up with that. It’s over for all that. 

The rapper-turned-podcaster continued, “Today is the day of reckoning. It’s over for all of that. The Feds is pulling up n####.” 

Budden also shared his concerns over the situation, claiming, “Envy looked like he has lost 90 lbs,” before sharing his thoughts on the case. 

“I think this is very very severe,” he offered. “I’m not certain I’m not certain how big this is but I think it’s going to be way bigger than this. I’ve been telling you and you that for months,” Budden added, pointing at two of his co-hosts. “I think this is barely scratching the f###### surface and I’m giving grace by just reporting on this.” 

Elsewhere during the show, Queenzflip said he had recently spoken to DJ Envy on the phone.  

“He’s sending a lot of cease and desists,” Flip shared. He said he’s sending a lot of them, and he said that he’s going to put lawsuits on people that’s defaming his name.”

Joe Burden Warned DJ Envy Over Alleged “Ponzi Scheme” Back in 2021

DJ Envy revealed Joe Budden tried to warn him about Pina’s “Ponzi scheme” real estate business. In a 2021 episode of Maino’s Kitchen Talk show, Envy discussed reaching out to his famous friends about moving into real estate.  

“I said, ‘Hey guys. I’m doing real estate. This is something that I think you should invest a little bit of money in, try it out. That way you can do it,'” Envy recalled. “Joe Budden told me it was a Ponzi scheme, and I was going to go to jail.” 

Budden addressed the clip in a recent episode of his podcast. Check out the clip below.

YNW Melly Prosecutors Seek To Add Witness Tampering As Evidence In Murder Retrial

By: Justin Ivey Updated Category: News

Prosecutors asked a Florida judge to admit evidence of alleged witness tampering in YNW Melly’s double murder retrial. According to the Miami Herald, new prosecutor Alixandra Buckelew wanted Judge John Murphy to rule on the state’s motion for admissibility before jurors get sworn in for the trial.

Earlier this month, YNW Melly was charged with witness tampering in connection to his first murder trial. Prosecutors claimed he displayed a consciousness of guilt, accusing the rapper and his associates of working to prevent his ex-girlfriend Mariah Hamilton from testifying in the original trial.

“The defendant went to great lengths to have others contact Mariah Hamilton for him,” the prosecution contended. “Because he was in jail and had his phone privileges taken away previously by BSO for numerous violations, he utilized fellow gang members to do his dirty work. Not only did he use his fellow gang member Terrence Mathis, who was in custody with him, he also utilized his co-defendant Cortlen Henry, who was out on pretrial release at the time, to be his messenger.”

Henry (a.k.a. YNW Bortlen) and Mathis were also charged with witness tampering. Henry was arrested while out on bond awaiting his own trial. Prosecutors said he was YNW Melly’s alleged accomplice in the 2018 murders of YNW Juvy and YNW Sakchaser.

YNW Melly, whose real name is Jamell Demons, was tried for the murders over the summer. The trial ended with a hung jury.

Jury selection for YNW Melly’s retrial began on October 18. The process started after his lawyers successfully convinced Judge Murphy to remove former lead prosecutor Kristine Bradley from the double murder case.

Rick Ross Says He’s Still Taking Dinner With Jay-Z Despite Hov’s Own Advice In $500K Debate

By: Justin Ivey Updated Category: News

Rick Ross believed it was smarter to dine with Jay-Z in the viral debate over whether someone should get dinner with Hov or accept $500,000 in cash. Rozay explained why he would choose the dinner even though Jay-Z himself advised people to take the money on Monday (October 23).

“I’ma take the dinner and I’ma tell you why,” Rick Ross said on Instagram. “In ’08, before I turned in my second album, I had a meeting with Hov. We went to lunch … He said, ‘Rozay, versus writing to every beat you like, write to every record you could make work.’ He told me a quick story about ‘Big Pimpin.’ I said, ‘OK, bet.’ So, I went from writing one record to every 80 beats I like to writing 40 records out of every 80 beats I could make work.”

Rick Ross continued, “It took me to another level as a writer, another level as an artist. The amount of work I was putting out was next level. So, you gotta ask yourself: are you ready to digest the knowledge or you just wanna look at his watch at the table?”

The $500,000 vs. dinner with Jay-Z debate became a topic of discussion on social media over the past few years. Gayle King asked Hov about it on CBS Mornings.

“You got to take the money,” Jay-Z told her.

Rick Ross thought Jay-Z was being humble. Rozay considered Hov’s wisdom to be “priceless.”

Cardi B Sparks Controversy Yet Again: Is She Copying Nicki Minaj or Craving Attention?

In the never-ending saga of celebrity feuds and drama, Cardi B has once again found herself in the center of a storm. The Grammy-winning rapper, known for her unfiltered and outspoken nature, is no stranger to controversy. This time around, the accusations are flying, with many claiming she’s taking a page out of Nicki Minaj’s book, and Cardi B’s recent actions are only fanning the flames.

It all started when Cardi B decided to share a snippet of a song from her upcoming album during an episode of her Stationhead show. However, the response from fans and critics was less than favorable. Unhappy with the reactions, Cardi took to social media, announcing her exit from the music scene, which left many shocked and confused.

Nicki Minaj Not In Women In Hip-Hop Doc Because She Supposedly Refused To License Music

Cardi B tweeted, “I want to do music. There is no album.” She continued, defending her creative choices and addressing those who had criticized her work, “Not liking the song is a reason why it’s scrapped, but people calling me lazy, saying I’m over-criticized on my every move. But let me guess, I should be fine with that.”

However, what caught everyone’s attention was Cardi’s heated exchange with one particular user. After receiving a message that aimed her work ethic, Cardi responded with a shocking remark, saying, “I hope you and your mom die.” Yooooooo…when I saw this as it happened, I thought it was crazy. I still do.

This crazy comment generated a strong backlash, with people accusing her of crossing the line. One user called it “victim mentality,” and others criticized her for not being able to handle fame. The criticism seemed to pile up, with Cardi receiving flak.

Cardi’s strong reaction left many wondering whether she was genuinely quitting music, or if this was just another attention-grabbing stunt. Cardi B is a pro at using social media to stay in the headlines, but this is too much. Some argued that she was acting out or seeking attention just because and some others questioned if she is cracking under the pressure of celebrity.

On top of is all, Nicki Minaj and Cardi have a well-documented beef. Each side has a rabid fanbase that attacks each other at every turn.

So, where does this leave Cardi B and her career? Is she really quitting music? Only time will tell,, but I doubt it! Without question, Cardi B will continue to make waves. This story is far from over.

“Bongos” has 26 million views. Cardi is not leaving.

Kanye West And Ty Dolla Sign Album Confirmed With Listening Event Announcement

Ty Dolla Sign officially revealed plans for his collaborative album with Kanye West on Monday (October 23). The singer announced a listening event, which is scheduled for November 3.

“Y$ multi-stadium listening event,” Ty wrote on Instagram. “November 3rd.”

Reports of Kanye shopping a joint album with Ty had been circulating online, but the post marked the first public confirmation of their collaboration from either man. The two were reportedly going to host a listening event in Italy on October 20. Officials postponed the show due to a train strike and weather concerns.

“Given the fact that a rail strike was planned the same day and that heavy rain is due, it was thought prudent to postpone the event,” a spokesperson for the Reggio Emilia prefecture told the Daily Mail. “Our aim [is] to ensure the safety and security of all and if there is a transport issue, then the concert cannot go ahead safely. And as it is open air, the heavy rain forecast would have also created problems.”

The October event was supposed to be held at the RCF Arena in Reggio Emilia. Kanye and Ty have not disclosed if the venue will still be used for their show on November 3.

Blueface Owes More Than $13 Million To Strip Club Over Shooting, Judge Rules

By: Justin Ivey Updated Category: News

A Nevada judge ordered Blueface to pay $13.1 million to Euphoric Gentlemen’s Club in Las Vegas. According to KLAS, the controversial artist must cover $12.6 in lost revenue plus damages stemming from his involvement in a 2022 shooting outside of the strip club.

Euphoric’s owner sued Blueface after the strip club was forced to close due to the rapper shooting a man outside of the venue. The owner said the club’s licenses were revoked “as a direct result” of Blueface’s negligence and reckless conduct.

Blueface, whose real name is Johnathan Porter, was originally charged with attempted murder in the Las Vegas shooting. A plea deal reduced his charges to battery and discharging a firearm at or into an occupied structure.

Earlier this month, a different judge sentenced Blueface to probation for the shooting. The victim, Kentabius Traylor, was frustrated by the sentence.

“I’m just completely disappointed in this complete process, actually,” Traylor said at Blueface’s sentencing. “From the D.A. to his representation to him to everything, it’s just all been a complete drop of the ball on my end. I have completely lost faith in the justice system. This crime has done nothing but take a toll on my life since the day it happened. I haven’t been able to get work. Everything has gone down the drain.”

Blueface received a suspended sentence of 24 to 60 months. He avoided fines in the criminal case.

Medical Emergency Causes Lauryn Hill To Postpone Philly Show

Fans have been going crazy over the “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill” 25th Anniversary tour.

Despite a few hiccups, many are dancing to her classic catalog and enjoying seeing the New Jersey native and her bandmates from The Fugees rip the stage live.

However, fans of Lauryn Hill in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania were left severely disappointed upon hearing the news that her show tonight (October 23) is be canceled.

According to a statement, Lauryn Hill is experiencing some wear and tear on her voice — a result of singing her face off at the last few shows.

She posted the sad news on social media.

“Dear Philadelphia, It is with disappointment that I am writing this note to you. One the advice of my physicians, I have no choice but to postpone the show tomorrow. I need to rest my voice to prevent any more serious strain or damage to my vocal cords,” she wrote on Facebook, adding, “The start of this tour has been incredible. What an amazing experience to celebrate this anniversary with all of my family, my friends, and all of you.”

She said that she is looking forward to giving the fans in Philly the show they “deserve with a fully recovered and healthy voice.”


Wherever she seems to go, a healthy Ms. Hill seems to have an outstanding impact on her fans. She recently visited New Zealand and shared a special moment with a few indigenous performers.

The new date for Philadelphia is scheduled for Saturday, November 25.

Despite the setback, she is going to make the Toronto date, and plans to rest up “for a few days” before leaving the States for the Canadian city.

Jay-Z Said Take The $500,000 In Viral Lunch Or Cash Debate

One of the biggest debates in Hip-Hop is what would be better – getting $500,000 or having lunch with Jay-Z.

Many entrepreneurs have said they would take the time to sit with the Roc Nation founder and soak up all the wisdom that he might offer. However, Jigga says he would never advise anyone to do that.

During an interview on “CBS Mornings with Gayle King,” the Reasonable Doubt recording artist talked about the viral question.

When King asked the billionaire, he said, “You got to take the money. What I’mma say?”

The host pushed back and said that there would be a level of wisdom that a person might get just sitting in the lunch that could potentially change their life. Still, Jay said he would take the money.

“You got all that in the music for $10.99,” he said. “That’s a bad deal. I wouldn’t tell you to cut a bad deal, like take the $500,000. Go buy some albums and listen to the albums. It’s all there if [you] piece it together and really listen to the music for the words, for what it is. It’s all there.”

According to Jay-Z, who has sold over 45 million albums worldwide and has 14 #1 hits on the Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart, all the things that he predicted would happen in his career actually did.

“Everything I said [in the music] I wanted to do, I’ve done,” he said. “And there’s The Blueprint. ‘The Blueprint,’ literally to me, is my life and my journey. It is there already.”

Blueface Brings Exotic Dancers To Rams Game And Might Be Banned As A Result

By: Kershaw St. Jawnson Updated Category: News
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

Many people don’t know how much Blueface loves football. It was going to be his original ticket out of the hood.

But Blueface took a different path when he started to rap and found his way to reality TV.

Yesterday (October 22) he proved why he is labeled as one of the most ratchet artists ever when the Rams played against the Pittsburgh Steelers at the SoFi Stadium in L.A.

The controversial rapper “Thotiana” watched the game for the first time in person and was blessed to rock out and watch the show in a private suite near one of the end zones.

He turned the area into a private strip club, throwing dollar bills at four girls who pulled their biker shorts down and twerked with thongs on.

Now, the Los Angeles Rams, the team that represents his hometown, might never have him back to their game as a guest.

The free exotic performance was not the only thing that happened at the game.

In addition to the Rams losing, possibly because players were distracted with all the booty bumping in their eyesight, the reality show personality proposed to his girlfriend and high school sweetheart, Jaidyn Alexis.

Rumors say the ruckus of the day caused the franchise to ban the artist from coming back as their guest. The Rams front office did not respond, verifying if that is true.

Will Smith & Jada Pinkett Smith Spoofed On “SNL” Because, Of Course

By: Kershaw St. Jawnson Updated Category: News
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

Jada Pinkett Smith has been the butt of jokes over the last few years. The most major platform to weigh in on the actress and her newly released memoir, Worthy, is Saturday Night Live on their most recent episode.

During the “Weekend Update” segment from Saturday’s (October 21) episode, Michael Che interviewed Ego Nwodim, who was in character as the “Set it Off” star and probed about the book tour and the many revelations she’s shared with the world since the promotion started.

“The day we got married, I knew there was going to be trouble. At our wedding, someone stood up and objected,” the phony Pinkett Smith recalled.

Che asked her who was the person that “objected,” and she landed the joke saying, “It was me. Yeah, it was me. Twenty-three years later, Will and I are still a unit. And it’s because we have learned that the secret to a successful marriage is never go to bed happy.”

Smith and Pinkett Smith have both said divorce isn’t an option, but they choose to love each other through their circumstances. In the skit, Nwodim said, “If we got divorced, he could mess around and end up happy. And I can’t have that.”

Jokes aside, it seems the public backlash has taken a toll on the book sales. According to Showbiz411, the book initially ranked No. 4 on Amazon’s best-seller list on Tuesday (October 17). However, as Will Smith fans continued to see Pinkett Smith in a negative light, its ranking plummeted to No. 44, with the Kindle version now at around 2,700. Her Barnes and Noble sales also mirror slow burn in the marketplace, ranking the release nationally at No. 173.

Fans Really Think Lil Mabu Stole Chrisean Rock From Blueface

By: Devon Jefferson Updated Category: Rumors

Petty isn’t even a word that’s fit enough to describe the relationship Blueface and Chrisean Rock had—even before the newly added layer of Lil Mabu’s trolling.

For those of us who were likely trying to get away from all of the drama emitting from the toxic couple’s rocky romance, Blueface and Chrisean Rock reportedly broke up. Shortly after, Rock teamed up with rumored industry plant rapper Lil Mabu to release their collaborative single “Take Ya B###H,” complete with one-liners aimed at the “Thotianna” rapper. “Gave birth to my kid but I hate his father,” Rock raps alongside Mabu.

https://twitter.com/ChriseanMalone/status/1714342571739398290

Well, apparently it wasn’t all an act, after all. Fans have begun speculating that Chrisean Rock and Mabu are actually entertaining a real relationship with each other despite all of the distractions surrounding them. The pair have been purportedly seen out and about together and have also made a point to increase their shared visibility on social media, regularly going live with each other. However, the main tipping factor may be the alleged “Mabu’s P###y” tattoo Chrisean Rock appeared to debut in the video for the single. (Although many have pointed out it looks photoshopped.)

While Blueface has been fairly quiet regarding the matter, it appears as though he’s moved on. I think it’s absolutely wicked to question the legitimacy of a union between two people, but it’s hard to think Blueface is being sincere in his recent public proposal to the first mother of one of his children, Jaidyn Alexis.

Dawg, bro literally had strippers out at the Rams game either minutes before or after he popped the question. Ain’t no way that’s gonna last! Alexis did appear overwhelmed with happiness, crying real tears of joy following the proposal. Either way, Mabu appears to have successfully committed the robbery and Blueface has seemingly turned his player’s card in to settle down. It’s a win-win situation as far as happy endings” go for one most tumultuous relationships I’ve ever seen.

Peep the video of Blueface’s proposal to Alexis below.

Apparently, the social media crank yanker who recently targeted T.I. and Trae Tha Truth could be in litigation with Boosie Badazz’s camp.

The claim was made on Instagram in the comments section of a repost of the video. A user by the name of @videorakim alleges the content creator in question, who goes by the name of White Dolomite, was involved in an altercation with Boosie’s nephew when he tried a similar prank with the New Orleans lyricist.

“This guy got punched by Boosie’s nephew when he tried to prank Boosie,” the user wrote. “He actually pressed charges against the nephew when he got dropped.” While it is hard to pin down whether or not there was any legal action taken, evidence of the blow landed clearly exists on the creator’s page.

City Girls’ Latest Album ‘RAW’ Set To Push Just 6,000 Units

By: illseed Updated Category: Rumors
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

City Girls are back in the spotlight with their latest album, RAW. Anticipation for this release has been building for a number of reasons. First, the album stands for “Real A$$ Wh0res” and has been very controversial. Personally, I find it so low frequency that I think it may have bit them in their butts.

At the time of this writing, the duo is set to move 6,000 to 8,000 units, which is pretty low considering they just came off a lot of press and a BET Hip-Hop Award performance. What went wrong?

City Girls—Yung Miami and JT—have risen to prominence since their debut. They have Girl Code and City on Lock, both commercial successes. Girl Code (2018) splashed down at No. 55 on the Billboard 200 chart and was certified gold by the RIAA. City on Lock did even better when it was released in 2020.

The City Girls’ chart performance reflected a growing influence and popularity within rap. These recent RAW first-week sales numbers aren’t in the same league as their past work. RAW was expected to be another big addition to the City Girls’ discography. The album’s title suggests an unfiltered and genuine expression of their artistry, but the acronym may have backfired. Also, the world has changed. Sexyy Red, GloRilla and others have taken up a lot of space that the City Girls used to occupy. I honestly think these new chicks drove them to have such a wild album title.

While the first-week sales projections for RAW are modest compared to some of the industry’s heavyweights, it doesn’t mean they are over. They still have Diddy in their back pocket, so I’m certain he will continue to help them when like when Caresha, Please won Best Hip-Hop Platform this year (again). They also may get some traction going through platforms like Spotify and Apple Music, which are likely to buoy their efforts. City Girls have a dedicated fan base and I think they will show up over time.

The City Girls have proven time and time again that they are a force to be reckoned with. But what do you think?

Brooklyn-raised rapper Lola Brooke (born Shyniece Thomas) is preparing to let her 12-track debut project loose next month. The album, titled Dennis Daughter, will arrive on Friday (November 10) with features from Bryson Tiller, Coi Leray, French Montana, Latto, Nija and Yung Miami.

Brooke just released the new single “Pit Stop” with fellow New Yorker French Montana. Previously, she dropped “You” featuring Bryson Tiller as well as “Don’t Play With It (Remix)” featuring Latto and Yung Miami.

The original “Don’t Play with It” featuring Billy B served as Lola Brooke’s breakout hit. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) certified the Brooklyn Drill song gold in July after it peaked at No. 69 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Producer Sharif “Reefa” Slater sampled Black Sheep’s “The Choice Is Yours” for this year’s “Just Relax.” Over the last two years, she also collaborated with Flo Milli, Ciara, NLE Choppa, Coi Leray and other acts.

Plus, Lola Brooke remade 50 Cent’s “Your Life’s on the Line” as part of Apple Music’s Juneteenth 2023: Freedom Songs playlist. The up-and-comer earned a Best New Artist nomination at the 2023 BET Awards and a Best Breakthrough Hip-Hop Artist nomination at the 2023 BET Hip Hop Awards.

Jayceon “The Game” Taylor established himself as a noted West Coast MC with projects like 2005’s The Documentary. The Californian also makes headlines for sharing his thoughts on social media.

One of The Game’s recent Instagram Story posts kicked off a back-and-forth online. A screenshot uploaded by Hollywood Unlocked set the outlet’s IG comment section ablaze with takes.

“Ladies, Zelle him $6,500 if you love him. He deserves to be spoiled too,” wrote the former Dr. Dre protégé. An Instagram user named Shawn Allen replied, “Mind you, Game is 50 years old and on the internet talking like this.”

Game then clapped back at Shawn Allen. The Hip-Hop veteran commented, “I’m 43 b#### n#### [and] it was a joke in my story reposted from Justin Laboy… get ya panties out ya cheeks.”

In response, Shawn Allen took to his own Instagram Story to call the rapper a “disgrace.” Allen also reposted several screenshots of Hollywood Unlocked‘s Instagram post about The Game’s clapback directed at him.

While The Game has time to address haters on social media, he also continues to release new music after twenty years in the industry. Game recently teamed up with The Dean for the “Angel” single. 2023 has also seen Jayceon work with G##### and Duece Uno.

The Game’s most recent studio album, Drillmatic – Heart vs. Mind, hit DSPs in August 2022. That project hosted the controversial “Eazy” track with Kanye West. Drillmatic debuted at No. 12 on the Billboard 200 chart with 25,000 album-equivalent units.

Additionally, Curry revealed his favorite rap bars that contain his name. He mentioned Drake’s “0 to 100 / The Catch Up” where the OVO frontman says, “I been Steph Curry with the shot. Been cookin’ with the sauce, Chef Curry with the pot.”

The guard for the Golden State Warriors also shouted out “Be Careful” by Cardi B. On that track, Cardi opens her first verse by rapping, “I wanna get married, like the Currys, Steph and Ayesha s###. But we more like Belly, Tommy and Keisha s###.”
