The January 6th committee recommended the Justice Department pursue multiple charges against Ye’s pal Donald Trump on Monday (December 19).
Committee members referred Trump for obstruction of an official proceeding, conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to make a false statement and inciting, assisting or giving aid/comfort to an insurrection. The Justice Department is currently investigating Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
The January 6th committee’s recommendation marked the first time Congress referred a former president for criminal prosecution in American history. The Justice Department isn’t obligated to bring criminal charges against Trump. But Rep. Jamie Raskin suggested the DOJ’s investigation may lead to even more charges against the former president.
“These are not the only statutes that are potentially relevant to President Trump’s conduct related to the 2020 election,” Rep. Jamie Raskin said. “Depending on evidence developed by the Department of Justice, the president’s actions could certainly trigger other criminal violations. Nor are President Trump and his immediate team the only people identified for referrals in our report as part of our investigation.”
Last month, Trump announced he was running for president again in 2024. Ye, who is also running for president, asked the twice-impeached politician to be the controversial rapper’s vice president. The offer didn’t go over well, according to Ye.
Many people might not realize it, but the holidays could be a perfect time to invest in a start-up business. Maybe you just got that big Christmas bonus, or a relative opted to give you some cash, and you have some left over after all that Christmas spending.
Why not put it to good use in leveraging for the future?
Investing in start-ups is a great way to get into the beginnings of a business. Often the concepts are interesting and are working towards building a better tomorrow. Not only are they working towards a future, but you get to be on the ground floor. Unlike throwing money into a large investment pool of assets, you get the feel of working with a small business.
You get feedback from a company that you never would with larger companies. Start-ups offer a ground-floor feeling, communicate with their investors, and often take input. For example, at WiGL we love to hear from investors with ideas about where our wireless power technology could best help them.
This year if you have some extra cash on hand from Santa, investing in a start-up might be just the right idea; and if you’re interested in the future of wireless power, feel free to look us up!

Styles P and Jadakiss are a unique proposition. They are not a group, but after a quick review of their work together, they might as well be.
Over the weekend, the brothers in D-Block took to the stage at the revered Irving Plaza to bring their “in-and-out” rap style to their most ardent supporters. It was a sight to behold on December 16. Jadakiss and Styles P impressed, performing a melody their back-to-back bars as well as their solo offerings. “Banned From TV,” “I’m A Ruff Ryder” and “I Get High” drove the crowd into a frenzy. DJ Technician and Scram Jones were the spin masters that manned the ones and twos.
Girll Codee, Brady Watt, The Hoodies, Neek Bucks, Flawless, Nym Lo, Haile Supreme, and Shanell Sharpe supported the efforts and also gave and audio statement on the state of New York’s rap culture. Things are not as bad as it has been advertised.
Mutulu Shakur, the stepfather of rapper Tupac Shakur, has finally been released after serving almost 40 years in prison for a 1981 Brinks armored-truck heist conviction.
Authorities linked him to the death of Nyack cops and a security guard death; the New York Post reports.
Now for the first time in 40+ years, his 60-year sentence has been interrupted and he can hug his loved ones as a free man.
A statement from his website read, “The decision to grant parole is based on federal law guidelines for “old law” prisoners, finding that Dr. Shakur poses no threat to the community.”
Shakur’s “exemplary conduct in prison, his medical condition, and how much time he has served,” the statement added.
In November, court documents revealed the decision from the parole commissioner.
“We now find your medical condition renders you so infirm of mind and body that you are no longer physically capable of committing any federal, state, or local crime,” officials said.
While the federal agency made the decision in October, the news was released on Thursday, Nov. 10. Many in law enforcement disagreed with the decision and wanted him to sit in jail and rot.
Shakur, who was married to Tupac’s mother, Afeni Shakur, was also arrested with Kathy Boudin, who was paroled in 2003 after serving 22 years in jail. She died of cancer in May of this year.
Judith Clark, another member of The Family, was paroled in 2019. The most recent member of The Family, David Gilbert, was released in October 2022.
However, despite Argentina’s victory, Drake did not receive the payout because the team won in a penalty shootout, and Drake’s bet was made in a market where only the score after 90 minutes of play was counted.
If Argentina had won during regular time, Drake would have won $2.75 million, a profit of $1.75 million.
Drake shared a screengrab of his bet on Instagram on Saturday night and also posted a video showing him discussing his bets with a friend.
“I’ll take Argentina, he’ll take France,” Drake said in the since-deleted clip. “We’ll make that happen, that’ll be a vibe.”
Drake is known for his love of gambling and has previously partnered with cryptocurrency casino Stake.

Is it URL making a Hollywood-produced documentary on their success, including a roundtable segment with legends talking about the origins of battle rap rooted in the late 90s– noting Smack was damn near there from the beginning?
Is it how grimy they did Tsu Surf while he was on a whole run? #FreeTheWave Was it the Universal Hip Hop Museum celebrating battle rap every day for a who month and then ending the month by making a commercial out of a freestyle from one of its stars? GTX making its debut?
It might even be Norbes losing in the Supreme Court the biggest part of his “ownership claim” with the Ultimate Rap League.

It might be anything considering there were at least 3 major battle rap events every month of the year. We are listening and can’t wait to hear what you, the fans, say.
Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter has probably not gone as smoothly as the billionaire expected. Could entertainer/entrepreneur Calvin “Snoop Dogg” Broadus Jr. step into the role of running the social media service?
The self-described Free Speech Absolutist even angered some of his own followers with his veer towards censorship on Twitter. With backlash directed at him climbing daily, Musk posted a Twitter poll about his leadership of the company.
“Should I step down as head of Twitter? I will abide by the results of this poll,” tweeted Elon Musk on December 18. The final results showed the “Yes” option (57.5%) winning over the “No” option (42.5%). Musk later tweeted, “As the saying goes, be careful what you wish, as you might get it.”
It Appears Snoop Dogg’s Followers Want Him To Lead Twitter
Snoop Dogg then jumped into the conversation about Twitter’s direction by asking a question of his own. The 51-year-old emcee’s likely tongue-in-cheek inquiry about assuming control of Twitter gained a lot of traction on the app.
Over 1.3 million users cast a vote in the ongoing poll. As of press time, the “Yes” option for Snoop Dogg’s survey has amassed 81% of the votes. “No” only collected 19% of the vote. More than 61,000 accounts like the tweet.
While best known for hit songs such as “Gin And Juice” and “Drop It Like It’s Hot,” Snoop Dogg also built wealth through his business ventures. The Doggystyle album creator has an association with Snoopadelic Films, Leafs by Snoop, and Death Row Records. He is also reportedly an investor in the Reddit website.
Should I step down as head of Twitter? I will abide by the results of this poll.
Back in September, Lil Baby announced a partnership with Budweiser and the English band Tears for Fears to present “The World Is Yours To Take” single. The song serves as the anthem for the FIFA World Cup 2022.
Lil Baby’s “The World Is Yours To Take” lives on the Official FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Soundtrack. That project also contains musical contributions by Nicki Minaj, Maluma, Davido, Ozuna, RedOne, Jung Kook, and other global acts.
“My new track with Budweiser for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Soundtrack is a special one for me. It’s about the journey we’ve all been on over the last few years and celebrating what’s next,” stated Lil Baby earlier this year.
The Quality Control Music recording artist also added, “When I started in music in 2017, I went all in on a dream that brought me to where I am now, and that’s what I want fans to feel when they hear the song.”
In addition to releasing “The World Is Yours To Take” collaboration, this year saw Lil Baby drop the It’s Only Me album. The 23-track project debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart with 216,000 first-week units.
Retired professional basketball player Amar’e Stoudemire made headlines over the weekend. According to multiple reports, authorities arrested the 2003 NBA Rookie Of The Year for misdemeanor battery.
Miami-Dade County officials took Amar’e Stoudemire into custody on Sunday. Stoudemire allegedly hit his teenage daughter the day before during an argument at his Miami residence. He was released on a $1,500 bond.
As news of the alleged violent encounter spread online, Amar’e Stoudemire posted a statement about the situation on his Instagram page. The one-time Israeli Basketball Premier League Finals MVP denied striking his child.
“Over the last 24 hours, an incident at my family home led to me being charged with assaulting my daughter. It is an allegation based on a report that does not square with the facts,” wrote Stoudemire on his Instagram Story.
The 40-year-old American-Israeli continued, “I am of the Jewish faith. Today, Jewish people all over the world celebrate Hanukkah and hear the story of how we fought wickedness. I believe that ‘whatever is hateful to you. Do not do to others.'”
Report Claims Amar’e Stoudemire Punched His Teenage Daughter In The Face
Amar’e Stoudemire allegedly accused one of his daughters of being disrespectful to his mother during a phone call. A police report claims Stoudemire then bloodied the teenage girl by punching her in the face.
“As the investigation unfolds, the facts will show the allegations to be groundless as my daughter’s medical condition is not the result of being assaulted by a father who is nearly 7 feet tall and weighs 250 pounds,” expressed Stoudemire.
He concluded, “I could never see myself assaulting any person, [especially] my children. I respect, protect, and love my family, particularly my children. As a father, I ask for your grace as we secure our space and privacy.”
Amar’e Stoudemire played fifteen seasons in the NBA for the Phoenix Suns, New York Knicks, Dallas Mavericks, and Miami Heat franchises. The Florida-born, New York-raised athlete also spent several years in the Israeli Basketball Premier League.
Last month, Drake and 21 Savage released their collaborative project Her Loss. The chart-topping studio LP hosts the “Rich Flex” single which became the soundtrack for a meme making fun of Drake.
TikTok user Gamer Keasy created a WWE-themed video that presented Drake as a very feminine man. “Rich Flex” plays in the background of the vid as a computerized version of the OVO co-founder prances to the wrestling ring.
While on a livestream for the Stake online casino, Drake spoke about the super-viral, sassy “Rich Flex” jokes at his expense. The 36-year-old rapper/singer/actor seemed to take the online teasing in stride.
“This girl was like… ‘How does it feel when everyone is always making fun of you? I wouldn’t be able to take it,'” recalled Drake. “She was talking about memes because ‘Rich Flex’ was on, the song off Her Loss.”
Drake added, “I understand after all these years that I feel like I have a polarizing presence. I’m almost a character in people’s movies. And therefore there’s a running dialogue, there’s jokes. You’re either the villain to some people or a hero to some people. It is what it is. It just comes with the territory.”
21 Savage also recently reacted to the “Rich Flex” memes. The Atlanta-raised rhymer made an appearance on Kai Cenat’s Twitch stream. After being shown Gamer Keasy’s “Rich Flex”/WWE mash-up, Savage shook his head and said, “Man, what the f###?”
A Lyfe Jennings performance went viral over the weekend. Many social media users clowned Jennings’s vocals from the concert, and fellow R&B singer Mario added to the online banter.
The Shade Roomuploaded a video of Lyfe Jennings singing on stage and a fan’s tweet criticizing the performance. At first, Jennings took aim at the media company for spreading the clip.
“This is exactly why Shade Room [is] in my new video ‘Till You Gone’ lol. They won’t love me till I’m gone… [I’m] a whole legend out here c.w.t.h. can’t wait to hate… 😂 They love me cause I show up as meeeee!!!!” wrote Jennings.
The Ohio-raised entertainer was not the only celebrity to share his thoughts on the situation. Mario also jumped into the Instagram blog’s comments section. The former Empire actor simply posted, “🤦🏾♂️.
In response to Mario’s emoji, Lyfe Jennings wrote, “@marioworldwide that’s why I f### with the rappers. R and B n##### be fake [as f###]. So much I could say but my numbers speak for themselves and my rep do too.”
The Shade Room reposted Lyfe Jenning’s Instagram comment, drawing Mario’s attention. The Baltimore native responded, “Yo, what is this n##### Lyfe’s IG, I been tryna find him .🤔 Nah, [for real] help…?”
Mario also addressed the situation on his Instagram Story. The “Let Me Love You” hitmaker shared, “Crazy s### is… I really don’t be meaning harm to 🥷🏿’s! I was just like why she had to post THAT video.”
Lyfe Jennings had more to say on his Instagram Story as well. The Lyfe 268‒192 album creator wrote, “Y’all make music about only drugs, sex, money [you] really don’t have. We [are] not the same.”
Latto has been rewarded with her own official day in her hometown of Clayton County and received the key to the city after hosting a massive Christmas giveaway.
The “Big Energy” and her Win Some Give Some foundation brought some holiday cheer to Clayton County, Ohio on Sunday (Dec. 18), with a bumper Christmas giveaway. Latto donna a seasonal Santa costume while hosting her second annual “Christmas in Clayco” event.
Latto turned the Carl Rhodenizer Recreation Center into a winter wonderland filled with presents for locals. She reportedly donated 3,000 gifts, free food, and entertainment to children in the community for Christmas. Local families received a Christmas meal and other essentials during the festive celebration.
In addition, Latto received a key to the city and an official day in recognition of her efforts in the community. Dec. 18 is now officially recognized as “Latto Day” in Clayton County.
“I owe a lot of my success to Clayton County, so it feels really good to be here,” Latto said. “My old school Rex Mill (Middle School) is literally two minutes down the street and (as) we were driving past it, I was like, ‘Oh my God. Everything is coming full circle.’ I’m so blessed and happy to share my blessing.”
Former gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams attended the celebration where Latto was praised by the Clayton County Board of Education.
“Latto is the epitome of greatness here,” Alieka Anderson, District 1 commissioner for Clayton County, said. “Our kids love her, the commissioners love her, and this is a collaboration that has been great for the community and for the children in Clayton County Public Schools. I want them to see the spirit of giving. When you give, it reciprocates back to you. What we tell our kids in Clayton County is that you can go and be anything you want to be, and Latto is a great example of that.”
Ab-Soul has opened up about his suicide attempt, sharing intimate details about the day he tried to take his own life by jumping off a freeway overpass.
The Top Dawg Entertainment artist discussed the incident during an in-depth interview with Charlamagne Tha God while promoting his new album, Herbert.
“I pretty much finished the album before I did what I did,” he said. “How I’m choosing to take it is — and I’m not giving it credit — but it brought me down to a place where I needed to be as vulnerable as possible, and as soon as I said everything I needed to say, I jumped.”
Although Ab-Soul left out what led to his suicide attempt, he continued, “I took a leap of faith, if you will. And that was the only way I was going to be able to put that vape down, bro,” he continued. “Ain’t nobody going to rehab for a damn vape pen — s### expensive as hell! But that was the only way I was gonna be able to put that s### down, bro. I know that for a fact… I feel as though God sat my b####-ass down,” he added.
Ab-Soul Details The Injuries He Suffered From The Suicide Attempt
While Ab-Soul is still recovering from the injuries, he is lucky to still be walking.
“I lost my teeth,” he revealed. “This is a flipper, I ain’t even got my implants yet. My jaw’s f##### up, I got a lot of work to do still. My foot is completely reconstructed, all the way to my pelvis. Everything but my knee. It doesn’t even make sense that my knee wasn’t affected. My femur, everything was affected except my knee.
Although he suffered long-lasting damage, Soul is grateful to have escaped brain damage from the suicide attempt.
“If my knee would have been affected, I might not be walking. I did not get any brain damage,” he said before adding, “I jumped off a freeway overpass, man, it was about 50 feet. I think a car broke my fall. No brain damage. It’s God. That was, ‘Alright bro, now sit down and shut up. Take it all in. Relax. You blessed, man.’” Check out the clip below and watch the interview here.
Ab-Soul reflected on his suicide attempt in his latest project, jumping from a building in the video for “Do Better.” On Herbert’s closer the DJ Premier-assisted “Gotta Rap,” the TDE lyricist raps, “I even tried suicide and I don’t know why / I know better than most that the Soul don’t die / Took a leap, shattered my leg, and lost some teeth / And I’m still standing behind every word I speak.”
Master P claims the tension between him and his eldest son, Romeo Miller, is over money and not the recent death of his daughter.
The No Limit founder went back and forth on social media last weekend after not speaking for months. Romeo made a series of comments and posts about his father and shared a poem addressing his father titled “Tree of Trauma.”
Romeo’s outbursts seemingly stemmed from a post Master P made in the wake of DJ/dancer Stephen “Twitch” Boss’s tragic passing last week. Both father and son also referenced the music mogul’s daughter and Miller’s sister, Tytyana Miller, who died from an accidental fentanyl overdose seven months ago.
However, in his latest word on the matter, Master P says his dispute with Romeo is all about money after his son made another comment claiming he was never paid during his music career.
“I thought this was about DJ Twitch and about my daughter’s death,” Master P penned on Sunday. “This is heartbreaking you just exposed that this is REALLY ABOUT MONEY. I watched other celebrities go through this. I’m not playing into this anymore. GOD knows the Truth.”
Master P Calls His Son “Spoiled” and “Entitled”
Master P added that he’s now “at peace,” saying he “worked hard to get my family out the ghetto.” He also accused Romeo of acting “Hollywood,” and “spoiled” for throwing a social media tantrum.
“Nickelodeon only paid a few g’s an episode and someone would have to sell at least 10 million records to pay my taxes. Every time I fell off I got up and went to work,” he wrote before adding, “I didn’t blame anyone for my failures. You started this social media rant. So what’s your plan besides showing the world you’re entitled, spoiled at 30+, and throwing a tantrum on social media.”
The entrepreneur admitted that he’s “still growing as a man and a parent,” but his family treats him like a cash machine.
“I don’t care about an image. The bloggers can have their laughs this week. I’m going to keep working, keep praying and letting GOD guide me. Mental illness is real,” he concluded before tagging his son.
In another post, Master P spoke on the temporary nature of life and shared his frustration at being used for his wealth. He backed up his words with a video addressing his issue with Romeo. Watch it below.
“I’m tired of people saying they love me only when I give them something,” he added. “I’m not an ATM machine or a robot, I have feelings too. Thanks for all your prayers, we need it. I’m moving on, going back to work and hustle for the ones that appreciate me.”
Meek Mill has left Twitter after announcing he was departing the social media platform to find somewhere with better vibes and fewer bots.
“Ima deactivate twitter forever,” the Philly rapper tweeted this weekend before his exit. He announced his desire to find a different platform “where it’s more good vibes.”
Meek Mill is now looking for a service centered around “building, creating and motivation!” He then instructed his social media manager to “turn this off forever,” before adding, “ima takeover my YouTube account to replace me interacting with [supporters!] Too many bots and weird people.”
Meek Mill stuck to his word, deactivating his account shortly after sending the tweet.
Earlier this month, before his Twitter exit, Meek Mill used the platform to respond to Kanye West after the G.O.O.D. Music founder mocked him during a recent Clubhouse conversation with Wack 100.
“Never lost my mind for fame or money,” he wrote on Dec. 11. “I still have my family. My people respect me. I’m freeing people from prison.” He continued, noting “I’m doing community service all month with children up close and personal. I’m chilling wit my son and his friends today. Y’all on clubhouse at 50 lol.”
While he mocked Ye and Wack, Meek is still a fan of Clubhouse and could migrate there now he’s left Twitter.
“I mean 50 on clubhouse drawing and not doing any positive wit ya following at that age is hitttt,” Meek Mill added. “You can be old or young on clubhouse it’s a place to connect!”
Nonetheless, this isn’t the first time Meek Mill deactivated his social media accounts. In January 2021, he disappeared without explanation, stepping away from Twitter and Instagram. He later returned before taking another hiatus in November 2021.
“About to take a break from social media … I see too much crazy s###,” he tweeted.
The Game defended his decision to allow his pre-teen daughter to wear makeup and a mini dress to attend Diddy’s twin daughters’ sweet sixteen party.
The proud father shared a snap of 12-year-old California Dream Taylor wearing her party fit on his Instagram page.
He also posted a throwback photo of his little girl alongside the caption, “Somebody please tell the LORD to help…. She was just 2 years old like a week ago…. Now my baby is 12 years old, growing up & it won’t stop 😩😩”
However, a debate kicked off in the comments section, with some criticizing The Game, claiming the outfit is “too grown” or that his child is too young to wear makeup.
“Makeup is cool but the outfit is a no for me it’s giving 18+ not 12,” read one comment that garnered over 1500 likes.
“The makeup isn’t the issue!! This outfit and pose is not appropriate for a damn 12 year old 🤦🏾”️” wrote another. “& don’t say mind your business!! This is social media and the post is public.”
While some stood behind The Game, suggesting the commenters “need to mind the business that pays them,” the rapper added a disclaimer confirming both he and his daughter’s mother agreed to let their child wear makeup for the special occasion.
The Game Defends His Daughter’s Outfit Choice
Nonetheless, the backlash continued after blog sites shared the photo, and the Game continued defending his decision.
“I’m gonna say this once so people who aren’t her parents get it,” the rapper wrote in The Shade Room comments. “My daughter is 12 & both of her parents are more than strict.”
The Compton native added Cali’s mother ” is an amazing parent & is very capable of raising our daughter.” He went on to say how involved he is in her life, explaining that both parents discussed her party outfit.
The Game says his daughter is a shy “straight A student,” who “dresses like a Tom boy in baggy jeans and Dr. Martin boots.”
“I am her father & her protector and she is & will always be an amazing young woman. I wish everyone happy holidays & thanks for your opinions on a child that belongs to US but we GOT THIS. 🙏🏾” The Game concluded. Check out his comment in full below.
Sean “Diddy” Combs has announced that he will release new music at the beginning of next year.
In an interview with Billboard, the famous rapper and producer revealed that he will be “dropping (new music) top of the year.”
Diddy didn’t provide any additional information about the upcoming release, but if it is a full studio album, it will be his first since 2006’s Press Play.
In addition, Diddy mentioned that his son, Christian Combs (also known as King), is also planning on releasing new music at a later date.
While King, 24, has followed in his father’s footsteps by pursuing a career in music, he has cited his late mother, Kim Porter, as a constant source of inspiration.
“She’s, like, my biggest fan. I’ve really been working and doing music since I was 16. Like my pops said, from the jump he wasn’t going to help me give me no producer help, writer help, because he didn’t want me to ever have to lean on him or depend on him,” King Combs insisted.
King has previously collaborated with artists such as Kodak Black and Chris Brown.
Rapper Kangol Kid died a year ago today, losing a fight to cancer at the age of 55. Today, his children say they are in the midst of a new fight to get his belongings back.
Kangol Kid was a multi-talented Hip-Hop artist that acted in a variety of capacities as a producer, songwriter, dancer, and emcee. Kangol he also was a member of the seminal rap act UTFO, which yielded a number of hits.
However, his sons T. Shaun, AJ, and Gio, maintain his widow has taken the rappers things from a storage space and will not return it to them. Furthermore, they maintain that Tajiri Swindell, the mother of the rap legends daughter, was never legally married to Kangol Kid, as was widely believed.
It appears the two factions are headed to a legal showdown if it continues. T. Shaun said it was not an easy decision. “This fight is heartbreaking to do but I have to do it,” he said.
T. Shaun charged that her father’s will say his thing be split between the kids.
“She went to the storage of my father without our permission and grabbed everything, and claimed that she was doing us a favor,” he in the video post. “She took everything to her house and is now making it a fight for me and my brothers to get the stuff that belongs to us.” He also said they do not have the money to lawyer up and plan to set up a GoFundMe to allow their supporters to aid them.
Swindell has not commented on the allegations, but kept her steadfast love of Kangol as the only remarks she has made publicly.
She responded to an old “I Love You Text” from her former partner.
“And I love you so much more baby … sitting here reading through our old texts a year has passed so fast…I thank God I have these and our memories to share with Cia when she gets older,” She said on IG. “she has your whole face and your fun spirit but you already know that because you are watching over us …. We love and miss you sooo much!!! Continue to Sleep Easy baby I still got us, I promise!!!”
Meanwhile, the sons took to social media to get help and to raise awareness about their plight. See the video below.
For those who are hardcore 49ers fans, are well aware of the Atlanta-based rapper Dell G. He is best known for his 2019 highlight when he performed during NFL Sunday’s game day VS 49ers and Saints. This performance was a highlight that cemented his career in the football community and has since given Dell G the edge in the Hip-hop scene.
Now with 2023 right around the corner, Dell G is expected to have another big season. He’s showing no signs of slowing down, as he’s been in the studio working on new projects. His last song that he released was the “4 9 Frenzy” which is a single featuring Mike Sick, and Dris. The single is a 49er themed track that is a remix of his previous release in 2021.
If Dell G keeps up the same energy and style on his newer music coming out in 2023, he’s expected to have a giant year. Make sure to keep an eye on Dell G in the new year.
DaBrat – I think people forget who tf she is. She was that rugged and raw rapper from the 90s that spit venom! She has BARS! She is originally from Chicago and went Atlanta, linked up with Jermaine Dupri and the rest is history. She’s basically be there from day 1. She even has a song with Kriss Kross. Anyway, Bow Wow has recently had some words for his mentor and father figure JD that seems pretty weird. Here is what was said:
On The GAUDS Show, JD said he created the popular BET show “106 & Park” because there wasn’t a Black TRL. So he did that.
“106 & Park was created by me. I created the show for Bow Wow. I was watching MTV and they had TRL. They catered to NSYNC, The Backstreet Boys and anything White that was coming out that was pop. They was allowing these kids to scream and holler at them. I called Stephen Hill…and I said we need to make a show just like TRL [with Bow Wow]…because he was a rapper…he was a Black little young boy rapping. Nobody on TV was 12 years old anywhere creating this type of fandomonium.”
Then Bow Wow came through and claimed that was a lie.
“JD aint create 106&Park stop the cap. Stephen hill Rick Ghrimes & all the great people in the BET OFFICE & staff created that show. All i did was capitalize off of what they created and made it mine. I would know…. I am mr 106! I would never take away from someones creativity.”
Here’s what he deleted:
“I just wish he just do his own thang w out having to bring me up. I wish dude the best of luck in his career and in life. We did some amazing things but that chapter is closed.”
“You really on some B####### RIGHT NOW. Now u KNOW I got ALL da receipts and know the WHOLE stories to ALOT ALOT! Don’t do this. Respect a legend. Respect a cultural icon. Respect the person who made your career what it is. I’m asking you now to please stop. I’m sorry @jermainedupri I cannot be silent about this s### any longer,” she said on her social.
