Sir Jinx, who produced multiple songs for Ice Cube throughout the 1990s, filed a lawsuit against the N.W.A legend in May 2021. According to Jinx, Ice Cube still owes him for production he did on 28 tracks, including “No Vaseline.” Jinx and Cube evidently haven’t come to a resolution. On Saturday (December 17), Sir Jinx took his grievances to Instagram and laid into his former collaborator.

“Ice Cube is a homie crook,” he wrote. “Help others only rob and cheat people that trusted him in a leader position. That’s what it is. No code of conduct. He copies the street but never gives back to it. How the hell am I paying a lawyer to get money this n-gga been on me for years? N-ggas can hide behind big gates and security, but you can’t hide from time.

“Your time is coming Mr. Jackson. Trust me fake gangster. You’re not from 111 Crip. You stole from there. You never went to St Louis. You stole those stories from Shorty and JD and Big Wave. I suppose you made up all this stuff by yourself. Is he going to pay me or you going to pay for more security?”

Sir Jinx wasn’t done there though and proceeded to levy several allegations against Ice Cube. He continued: “The unveiling has to be complete for dude to break. Karma so ready to f### him. He doing you and others the way Warner Bros. did him. You helped him build the persona he hides behind and makes money from.

“Cube has learned a lot from his business partner Jeffrey Kwatinetz. This guy creates a hostile workplace by incessantly talking about the greatness of Donald Trump’s former political advisor, Steve Bannon, while also behaving in an Islam-phobic fashion. Wasn’t Cube down wit da Nation? What kind gangsta is this?” Sad these dudes can’t be righteous with their family.”

Ice Cube paints a different picture. Shortly after Sir Jinx went public with his lawsuit, a source close to Cube told TMZ he’s loaned Jinx a substantial amount of money over the years and was never paid back. Sir Jinx is reportedly seeking a minimum of $100,000 in damages.

Master P and his eldest son, Romeo Miller, have been thick as thieves since the day he was born. But, an unforeseen rift has recently grown between them and now, both men have addressed it on Instagram. On Saturday (December 17), Miller shared a poem directed at his father, which included the words, “How is the media one day your best friend and then the next liars?” The line alluded to Master P’s recent post calling The Shade Room “the devil.” Miller also touched on his mother and P’s ex-wife, Sonya, who he says “weathered the dragging of media for years.”

Master P, catching wind of his son’s post, responded via Instagram on Sunday (December 18). He wrote in the caption: “I wouldn’t wish this on no parent, especially when you try to do everything you can for your kids.@romeomiller What’s the plan? You are either part of the problem or the solution. I love you and the door is always open for you but I won’t tolerate disrespect. I haven’t talked to you or seen you in months. God knows I’ve tried to do my best.”

Master P and Miller’s public discourse comes seven months after the No Limit founder’s daughter and Miller’s sister, Tytyana Miller, died from an accidental fentanyl overdose. Master P makes note of her passing in the accompanying text.

“This new generation of kids need to stop blaming their parents for everything,” he wrote. “How do they think they got to where they are without their parents making sacrifices for them? Mental illness is real and so many families are tragically affected by it, especially when there is added trauma like death of a loved one. Social media is not the place for healing.

“Son, I love you. Stop trying to get people to feel sorry for you. And let’s come up with a solution. You can come talk to your father and your family like a man, you have kids, too. No family is perfect but together with God, we can heal and get through this.”

Master P was instrumental at propelling Miller to chart glory in the early 2000s. Upon releasing his debut in 2001, Lil’ Romeo, the No Limit album landed at No. 6 on the Billboard 200, selling 99,000 copies in its first week. It was eventually certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America. Since then, Miller has gone on to appear in the WEtv series, Growing Up Hip Hop.

Drake is presumably jumping for joy after Argentina beat France in a 3-3 shootout victory at the 2022 FIFA World Cup. According to an Instagram post from the OVO Sound boss, he placed a $1 million bet on the Lionel Messi-led team and was looking at a $1.75 million payout.

The outcome dispels the notion of the “Drake Curse.” Under this phenomenon, any team or individual that receives support from Drake ends up either losing the game or playing decisively bad—but not today.

While the World Cup win was certainly hard-won—the game went into both overtime and a shootout to determine the victor—Argentina can finally breath a sigh of relief. They’ll also be happy to learn Drake didn’t jinx them as he has other teams in the past. More recently, Drake put a $649,000 bet on Barcelona to win the El Clasico against perennial rivals Real Madrid. But Drake lost the bet after defending La Liga champions managed to beat Catalunya 3-1.

Messi and the rest of his teammates are currently celebrating at the Lusail Stadium in Qatar. Messi, in particular, has all the more reason to smile. As he told Sebastián Vignolo from In First Person, “This will be my last World Cup for sure. The decision has been made.” Argentine fans across the globe were hoping Messi could cement his legacy as one of the greatest to have ever played the sport—and he did.

Young Thug and his team were allegedly blindsided by Gunna’s decision to cop a plea deal in their ongoing RICO case. During a recent Clubhouse chat, Wack 100 claimed Team Thugger had no idea Gunna would take a deal that would ultimately lead to his release.

“I spoke to Young Thug’s people,” he said. “They can’t really attack it, but they let me know ’cause they know I’ma say something. They had no idea Gunna was about to do that. Zero. They said that the Instagram post that went up is a fan page. That ain’t there real s###.”

He added: “The squad, the attorney’s, nobody had any idea that Gunna was gonna do that. Gunna management team always talks to Thug’s management team. Everybody kept quiet. It gets even deeper than that to where they felt the label knew and they said except to see Gunna try to breach Young Thug on the contact because of this, get free and go solo, then sign direct. So, he’s on some real f s###.”

Gunna walked out of Fulton County Jail on Wednesday (December 14) after seven months behind bars. His attorney, Steven Sadow, explained he’d taken an Alford plea, which allows a defendant to plead guilty to avoid trial, where a harsher sentence is a bigger risk.

Wack 100, who’s typically outspoken on anything rap-related, has questioned Gunna’s release since the YSL rapper was released. As he stated in another Clubhouse conversation, “You’re not pleading guilty to a RICO, and they freeing you. There go the telling right there. He told.”

Wack 100 affiliate, 6ix9ine, also believes Gunna snitched to get out of jail. On Thursday (December 15), the controversial rapper shared a since-deleted post of Gunna on the stand and suggested Gunna ratted to save himself—just like he did. Check it out below.

Al B. Sure! has been struggling with health issues for months but continues to update fans on his progress via social media. On Saturday (December 17), the R&B legend shared an Instagram video to his account and revealed the hole in his neck from a tracheotomy had closed.

“That moment when I get home and look into the mirror for the 1st time minus the bandages to discover that the massive hole in my neck from the #tracheostomy has completely closed,” he wrote. “Finally. Not too long ago I can remember simply attempting to speak and only the sound of ‘gurgling air pockets’ would come through! Dr. @djeddief for the save!”

Although noticeably gaunt, Al B. Sure! has come a long way since May when news of his hospitalization first started to spread. During a recent appearance on Fox 5 New York, his first television interview since the whole ordeal began, Al B. Sure! talked about the two-month coma that had him fighting for his life.

“I feel amazing,” he said. “I feel fantastic. But within amazing and fantastic, it has its challenges because I’m also healing physically. There’s a time period when you really have to heal. I have what’s called ‘Chevron.’ That’s when they cut your chest open […] I’m the recipient of an amazing, blessed new liver, and I’m going to treat it well.”

The 54-year-old singer also discussed gaining weight at the height of his career after winning the American Music Award for Best Artist and getting nominated for two Grammys. Once Quincy Jones told him to “please get your act together,” he underwent bariatric surgery. But earlier this year, Al B. Sure! collapsed while working on his new music, then fell into a coma. From there, he went into renal failure and doctors were considering putting him in hospice.

“I was intubated, I was on a ventilator with a tracheotomy, I mean, there were so many things going on,” he explained. “What people don’t truly understand, unless you’ve been through this type of medical journey, is taking for granted breathing, tying your shoes, speaking.”

Al B. Sure! addressed his weight loss last month in an Instagram post after shopping for some new clothes. He wrote in part, “I haven’t weighed 170 lbs. since $ Earnin’ #MountVernon High School. As soon as my medical team approves, I’m back in that gym to re-sculpt the OG’s vessel like I’m about to try out for the league. Taking it one day at a time.”

Several of Al B.’s friends are celebrating his progress, including Naughty By Nature’s Treach. Last week, he shared an Instagram photo of himself with his arm around Al B. and wrote in the caption: “Took this Pix with The Legend Al B.Sure a Lil while Back, Thank God My Guy is Out of The Coma Out of the Hospital & Doing well, Many Blessings Bro Bro.” Check it out below.
