Cam’ron has been making business moves in the Hip-Hop world since he was driving a “Horse and Carriage.” With his new Come And Talk 2 Me network, the parent company for his hit sports show “It Is What It Is,” he’s launching three new shows with plans to take over the podcast/YouTube series lane.

“It Is What It Is” starring Mason Ma$e Betha and Treasure “Stat Baby” Wilson has only been popping for five months since its February 2023 debut. But it’s shaken up the sports world. Leaning on that momentum, Killa Cam presumably wants to keep his foot on the gas.

“I have been trying to work with others to be on networks or shows to no avail,” he said. “I’m 47. I’m tired of waiting for calls back. I told myself ‘let me take a chance on myself’ and that’s what I did.”

The first show he launched is called “Es Lo Que Es,” an all-Spanish-centered sports show that focuses on baseball coverage by a Hispanic/Latino cast with actor Cuban Hunter, hardworking dad Fidel Gocio and known blogger Loopy.

Coming up next on the network are two shows featuring the Children of the Corn breakout stars, Cam and Ma$e.

Cam’s show will be called “Come And Talk 2 Me,” a sit-down talk show where the he’ll help people with their personal issues like “relationship problems, family issues or job troubles.”

“Come and talk 2 me coming this fall!!” Cam wrote. “So if your going thru something and you think I can help.. hit me up at ComeAndTalk2MeInfo@gmail.cơm. Also see the full trailer 2mr 9am after episode 27. Of @itiswhatitis_talk.”

Ma$e’s new show “Ma$e, Fix My Situation” will allow us to see his pastoral nature as he helps others overcome “difficulties in their lives.”

Trinidad James Supports Drake Painting His Nails Pink

Drake shocked some of his supporters and galvanized some of his detractors when the Canadian rapper/singer showed up online with painted fingernails.

Social media users from around the world weighed in on Drake’s decision to color his nails pink. For example, accused rapist and human trafficker Andrew Tate took to Twitter to share his thoughts.

“There’s a reason I deny meeting all the famous people who try to meet me,” tweeted controversial social media personality Andrew Tate in response to photos of Drake’s colored manicure.

In contrast, Lil Yachty joked about his “Oprah’s Bank Account” collaborator by sarcastically claiming Drake’s pink nails were “weird [as f###].” Yachty has been a longtime supporter of men using nail polish.

Two years ago, Lil Yachty even announced his own unisex nail paint line. The Atlanta-bred recording artist reportedly parted ways with the CRETE brand six months after the company’s launch.

Drake also got backing from another Georgia-bred rapper known for having elaborate nails. TMZ recently spoke to “All Gold Everything” performer Trinidad James about the OVO leader’s polarizing decorative choice.

“What a lot of people don’t know is I’m secretly one of Drake’s favorite spirit animals,” said Trinidad James in the video interview. On the Honestly, Nevermind album creator’s painted nails, James added, “Actually, I love that for him.”

The Full Size Run talk show panelist continued. “It’s a lot of agendas out here that people want to keep you boxed in about… He’s doing it because he wants to do it. Obviously, he is Drake. But let me tell you, it’s an amazing thing to see.”

Trinidad James went on to declare that Drake’s nails are not better than his. The 35-year-old former XXL Freshman Class member also said, “Aesthetics is personal. If he feels comfortable, I’ve been feeling comfortable.”

Jacquees Responds To Being Thrown Into The Keke Palmer/Usher “Booty Cheeks” Controversy

Both Keke Palmer and Usher became trending topics on social media over the last 24 hours. Somehow, members of the public also included Jacquees in the debate over a video of Palmer at Usher’s concert.

Footage of Usher serenading Keke Palmer during his Las Vegas residency spread across the internet. Darius Jackson, the father of Palmer’s newborn child, took issue with the movie star’s attire at the show.

“It’s the outfit tho… you a mom,” tweeted Darius Jackson on July 5. That post generated a ton of conversation which included some people suggesting Jackson’s tweet displayed insecurity and jealousy.

https://twitter.com/dvulton/status/1676667813531111424?s=20

Darius Jackson then posted, “We live in a generation where a man of the family doesn’t want the wife & mother to his kids to showcase booty cheeks to please others & he gets told how much of a hater he is. This is my family & my representation. I have standards & morals to what I believe.”

Usher seemingly reacted to the Keke Palmer clip and Darius Jackson’s judgmental comments on Instagram’s new Threads app. The 8-time Grammy winner asked, in jest, “Am I trending yet?”

Last night, one Twitter user randomly brought Jacquees into the Keke Palmer/Darius Jackson controversy. The @b0mbchell_ account tweeted, “It’s Usher like cmon now. I could see if it was Jacquees.”

Moments later, Jacquees responded to his name joining the trending topic. The self-anointed King of R&B quote-tweeted @b0mbchell_ and simply responded, “😂😂 Leave me out of it.”

Meanwhile, Keke Palmer seems to be taking the entire ordeal in stride. She wrote on Instagram, “I am telling y’all right now, if you haven’t seen [Usher] YOU MUST GO!! HE WAS SO FABULOUS!!”

The Nope actress continued, “Giving theater, Atlanta downnn [sic], tips and tricks, and just absolutely iconic. I was truly inspired as a performer. I whooped some ass in spades too! Where is that pic of us all together with the King himself??”

Most of the world knows William Jonathan Drayton Jr. as Hip-Hop personality Flavor Flav. For many rap fans, the New York native is the most famous hypeman in the genre’s history.

Flavor Flav made a name for himself as a member of the seminal rap group Public Enemy. He stood out from other rap figures of the late 1980s by wearing a clock on his neck.

In celebration of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s 50 Years of Hip-Hop exhibit, Roxanne Shante hosted her Have a Nice Day show on LL Cool J’s Rock the Bells Radio from the SiriusXM studio at Cleveland’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Roxanne used that episode of SiriusXM’s Have a Nice Day to speak with Flavor Flav about Hip-Hop’s fifty-year anniversary and his legendary career. In particular, the Flavor of Love reality star shared the story behind his iconic clock chain.

“So one day, as a joke, this crackhead came through my projects, you know what I’m saying?” he began. “[She was] selling these shower clocks that she stole from a place called Fortunoff.”

He added, “She went to Fortunoff, stole this big box of shower clocks and came through our projects selling them. So my boy, Son of Berserk, took the stopwatch off my neck and put the clock around my neck. Everybody was laughing. It was a big joke.”

Flavor Flav then explained, “So they dared me to wear that clock on stage but during the show. So when we went to open up for the Beastie Boys in Passaic, New Jersey, 1986, I wore the clock, Roxanne. And then the next day on the front page of Newsday, New York Times, New York Post, the look of the clock was dope.

Flavor Flav and the rest of Public Enemy released several studio albums. It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back and Fear of a Black Planet are considered classics. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inducted Public Enemy in 2013.

Viewers of Druski’s ‘Coulda Been Records’ Instagram Live were left baffled on Wednesday night (July 5), after Birdman pulled up to press the comedian over his satirical record label. 

Druski launched his spoof label back in 2019 as an anti-talent show. Since then, the show has taken off, with contestants auditioning to join him on his comedy tour. In his latest move, Druski is seeking talent to live in the Coulda Been House reality TV show.  

However, during his latest Instagram talent scouting session, Druski was joined by Birdman, who popped up with a “proposition” for the mock label-executive. 

“I been looking for you,” the Cash Money Records co-founder told the comic before explaining he heard that Druski has been working with NBA YoungBoy and Drake. 

“It’s like you starting to step on my toes,” Birdman continued as Druski watched, unsure how to respond. “You little young n##### got the game f##### up. I’m watching the s### you doing. What the f### is this record label you starting?” 

Druski told Birdman he wanted to call but wasn’t sure if he would answer. However, in a throwback to his viral Breakfast Club interview, Baby demanded, “Put some respect on my name.”  

He then got straight to the point with Druski. “You playing with that f###### record label. Coulda Been Records. That s### sounds like CMB,” he stated.  

Nonetheless, Birdman saw the potential in Druski and Coulda Been Records and wanted to offer him a deal.  

“I got a proposition for you,” he offered. “How about you keep running it and I buy your s### into my s### and we become one and I help you become a megastar.”

Kim Kardashian revealed she went into protective mode at the height of Kanye West’s antisemitism storm, fearing for the safety of their children. 

The SKIMS founder opened up about the fallout from Ye’s antisemitic and Anti-Black remarks in the latest episode of Hulu’s “The Kardashians,” filmed in the fall. 

“I’m just not OK. I’m just having such a hard day today,” Kim admitted during an emotional discussion with Khloé Kardashian. “I literally haven’t changed my outfit in like two days. I just have to get it together.” 

She explained her concerns for their four children and her attempts to shield them from the negative press about their father. 

“I am just in protection mode of my kids, and just try to hide everything,” she stated. “It’s just hard for me to figure out — if they don’t know anything, why wouldn’t dad come over for dinner? Why isn’t dad at my things? That kills me. It’s the one thing that gives me anxiety.” 

Kardashian also shared she’s “embarrassed” for anybody to ask her about Ye during a public outing before turning to the safeguarding of her kids.  

“Is it safe? Is it dangerous?,” she asked. “I just don’t know what to do. I’ve been managing it the best way that I know how because I want my kids to see a healthy dad.” 

Kanye West was dropped from numerous brand deals and partnerships last year following a slew of hateful comments. Adidas and Balenciaga were among those parting ways with the rapper after he made multiple antisemitic and Anti-Black comments. His rants extended to interviews where he shared his admiration for Hitler and the Nazis.  

EXCLUSIVE: Diageo “Baffled” By Diddy’s Racist Watermelon Marketing Claims

By: Grouchy Greg Watkins (@GrouchyGreg) Updated Category: News
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

Diageo has expressed “confusion” over new accusations of racial insensitivity leveled against it by music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs.

Combs recently accused Diageo of racial bias in its marketing strategies, particularly regarding introducing a watermelon flavor for Ciroc Vodka, which is owned by Diageo and DeLeon Tequila, which is a joint venture between Combs Wine and Spirits and Diageo.

In a statement to http://AllHipHop.com, Diageo responded to Combs’ allegations, expressing bafflement at his criticism of the marketing and promotion efforts for Ciroc and DeLeon, efforts that Combs himself led.

The company pointed out that Combs not only supported and publicly endorsed the Ciroc Summer Watermelon flavor for several years but also benefited financially from its success.

“Mr. Combs supported, publicly endorsed for several years, and benefited financially from the success of Ciroc Summer Watermelon. His attempt to recast follow-up discussions regarding innovations for DeLeon is, as is his entire suit, disingenuous and self-serving,” the company stated.

Diageo further clarified that under the Ciroc agreement, Combs was solely responsible for brand marketing, and his personally-owned media agency was DeLeon’s marketing agency of record.

The company’s statement suggests that Combs’ accusations are unfounded and contradict his involvement in the brands’ marketing strategies.

“It is baffling to us that Mr. Combs is criticizing brand marketing and promotion for Cîroc and DéLeon – the very efforts he led,” the company added.

The dispute between Combs and Diageo has drawn significant attention due to the high-profile nature of the parties involved and the serious allegations being made.

Diageo severed its 15-year business relationship with Combs following his allegations of racism and business misconduct. Diddy accuses Diageo of neglecting and limiting resources for his brands, while Diageo contends that Diddy breached his contracts and made unreasonable financial demands.

Both parties have traded legal filings, with Diddy’s lawyer calling Diageo’s actions an attempt to distract from discrimination allegations and Diageo denying the accusations as opportunistic.

Kanye West Allegedly Working On New Music With Freddie Gibbs

It appears as though Kanye West has been in the lab, but what exactly is he working on? Well according to these Wifi streets, he’s allegedly creating new music with Freddie Gibbs.

West celebrated his 46th birthday last month. During his actual party, a photo of himself and Gangsta Gibbs started to circulate. This is where the rumors initially began swirling.

Keep in mind, Gibbs and Ye had some interesting dealings in the past. In 2016, producer Madlib gave both men a few beats. As the saying goes, great minds think alike—and they both chose the same beat.

It turned out Yeezy’s version ended up on the Kendrick Lamar-assisted “No More Parties in L.A.” from The Life of Pablo.

Gibbs offered his own rendition to the world via SoundCloud. Unfortunately, it was immediately yanked down, but West’s track stayed in heavy rotation.

In 2021, the Gary native popped up the with the same beat for “Cocaine Parties in L.A.” from the Piñata (Deluxe Edition). The track was again snatched down from most streaming platforms. Yeezus was not playing—allegedly.

Now it appears as though the two artists have made amends. On Tuesday (July 4), an interesting innuendo grew some legs after a Reddit post proclaimed “Ye has been working with Freddie Gibbs.”

Hit-Boy later discussed the status of his current relationship with Kanye West. He professed, “I ain’t got no issues with him.” The veteran beatmaker verified something quite intriguing. When the issue of who he was working with arose, Hit-Boy affirmed the assertion.

“I heard Freddie’s [Gibbs] working with him right now,” the interviewer said, to which Hit-Boy agreed, “I seen—I heard about that.”

While the specific terms haven’t been disclosed, the submission includes attorney fees and spousal support. As the filing states, “There are irreconcilable differences that have led to the irremediable breakdown of the marriage or domestic partnership, and there is no possibility of saving the marriage or domestic partnership through counseling or other means.”

Stevie J, one of Diddy’s original Hitmen and a reality star on “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta,” asked for spousal support and asserted he and his wife never signed a prenuptial agreement before getting married.

Evans has an estimated net worth of roughly $3 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. Stevie J on the other hand has an estimated net worth of $5 million, including his hefty production catalog.

This is not Evans’ first marriage to end. She’s been married three times, including to The Notorious B.I.G. and former manager Todd Russaw. However, it was Stevie J’s first marriage.

Finesse2Tymes denied snitching allegations, which surfaced via Instagram on Wednesday (July 5).

Vlogger 1090 Jake posted screenshots of an Instagram message from someone who accused Finesse2Tymes of snitching. The unidentified person sent alleged paperwork to 1090 Jake, claiming Finesse2Tymes “ratted” on the Instagram user’s brother.

“My dm’s Be lookin Brazy,” 1090 Jake wrote on Instagram Stories.

Finesse2Tymes reacted to the accusations on social media. The 31-year-old rapper insisted he didn’t snitch.

“They don’t got a story,” he wrote on Instagram Stories. “They gone make one.”

Finesse2Tymes also addressed the allegations on Instagram Live. He said real gangsters know what’s going on and scoffed at someone supposedly finding paperwork from 2008 when he was a juvenile. He urged skeptics to find his paperwork on their own if they doubt him.

“You n##### ain’t smart enough,” he said. “You know why? See, you n##### ain’t smart enough. You can’t get no paperwork from when a n#### was a juvenile. Do you know how many n##### told on me as a juvenile and I can’t go get paperwork to prove it? I can’t pay for it … If it’s true, go look it up! Go pay for it. Go read up on it and then get back at me.”

Lil Uzi Vert’s “Pink Tape” Will Become First Rap Album In 2023 To Hit No. 1

Lil Uzi Vert will reportedly become the first rap act to hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200. According to HITS Daily Double, the rapper’s Pink Tape project is projected to move more than 165,000 total album-equivalent units in its opening week, with roughly 3,800 of those being pure album sales. The album will surpass Morgan Wallen’s chart behemoth One Day At A Time, which has been in the top spot for 15 non-consecutive weeks.

The Pink Tape serves as the follow-up to 2020’s Eternal Atake and was released through Generation Now and Atlantic Records. Guest appearances include Travis Scott, Nicki Minaj, Bring Me the Horizon, Don Toliver and Babymetal. Production was handled by Don Cannon, Cubeatz, WondaGurl and many, many more. The album was preceded by the October 2022 release of “Just Wanna Rock.”

With Pink Tape‘s victory, Lil Uzi Vert now has a promise to keep. On Tuesday (July 4), Lil Uzi Vert shared a photo of the Pink Tape album cover to his Instagram Stories and wrote, “Get this 2 number one and I will drop the album y’all really looking for.” Hours later, he updated his Instagram bio to read, “Luv is Rage 3.”

The project marks the third installment in Lil Uzi Vert’s Luv Is Rage series (or fourth if counting the 2017 Luv Is Rage 1.5 EP). The first one, which was touted as a mixtape, arrived in 2015 as was followed by Luv Is Rage 2 two years later. The latter debuted at No. 1, with more than 135,000 total album equivalent units sold. It produced Lil Uzi Vert’s only diamond-certified single, “XO TOUR Llif3.”

Lil Uzi Vert has yet to celebrate the achievement with his 17.1 million Instagram followers. Until then, listen to the Pink Tape above.
