Oakland rapper Kamaiyah has been arrested at an airport for carrying a firearm.
On Wednesday, August 31st, the artist was attempting to catch a plane to Oakland from Burbank. While going through security, TSA agents said inside of her purse, they found a fully loaded .380 semi-automatic pistol.
The femcee was booked at the Hollywood Burbank Airport by Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport Authority Police and charged with felony weapon possession, and held with a $70,000 bail. The independent artist has since posted bond.
According to TMZ, the agents pulled an arrest warrant for Kamaiyah from a 2019 incident where she is accused of shooting a round in a movie screening room inside of a Burbank condominium complex.
Guns are a part of her image and the marketing of her latest project. The Deluxe edition of “Divine Timing,” her latest album, features Kamaiyah with two pistols on the cover art.
A spokesperson for the Burbank Police Department said on Wednesday, Sept. 7, ”Ms. Johnson was detained by TSA in the passenger screening area of the airport after an agent located a loaded handgun inside of a purse she had in her possession.”
“Police responded, rendered the weapon safe, and placed Ms. Johnson under arrest,” it continued. “It was also discovered there was a warrant for Ms. Johnson’s arrest stemming from a 2019 investigation in Burbank of a negligently-discharged firearm inside a movie theater of a local condominium complex. She was booked and held on $70,000 bail, but has since bonded out of custody.”
Kim Kardashian praised ex-boyfriend Pete Davidson in a new interview.
While speaking to Interview Magazine the SKIMS founder, who sported icy blonde hair and matching eyebrows for the accompanying photo shoot, opened up about her relationship with the Saturday Night Live star.
“He’s a cutie,” Kim, 41, said of 28-year-old Pete. “He’s literally such a good person, they don’t really make them like him anymore. I’m excited for what he has coming up.”
The pair first met on “SNL” where they shared an onscreen kiss together for a skit in October 2021.
Later that month, paparazzi photographed them holding hands on a roller coaster at Knott’s Berry Farm. Pete officially confirmed their relationship to People in February this year, calling mother-of-four Kim his girlfriend.
A grand jury indicted Mystikal on multiple charges, including first-degree rape.
According to The Advocate, Mystikal was hit with several drug charges in the rape case. He was charged with illegal possession of Xanax, possession of heroin, possession of methamphetamine, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.
The 51-year-old rapper, whose real name is Michael Tyler, was indicted on 10 charges in total. The other charges include false imprisonment, domestic abuse battery by strangulation, simple criminal damage to property and simple robbery.
Authorities accuse Mystikal of raping, strangling and robbing a woman at his home in Prairieville, Louisiana in July. He allegedly attacked her over a financial dispute.
Last month, Mystikal’s lawyer Joel Pearce suggested the case won’t even go to trial. He continued to express confidence following the indictment.
“This isn’t the first time a grand jury has gotten it wrong about Michael Tyler,” Pearce told BR Proud.
A grand jury previously indicted Mystikal on rape and kidnapping charges in 2017. He spent 18 months in jail before the case was dismissed.
But Mystikal is a registered sex offender. He served six years in prison after pleading guilty to sexual battery and extortion in 2003.
Mystikal faces life in prison if convicted in his latest rape case. He remains in jail after being denied bail.
Shantel Jackson is a woman of many talents, and her beauty captivates audiences all around the world. Best known as @missjackson on Instagram, the Miami, Florida native has come a long way since her music video vixen days, and she probably won’t tell you what music videos she’s actually been in.
But now, Shantel is especially proud of being her own boss and entrepreneur, starting multiple companies including her passion project Shoe Gummi, which are designed to go on the bottom of your high heels to help you walk more comfortably. With Shantel’s own addiction to high heels, it was only right for her to start and create her own insole — one that arrives after years of hard work, passion, and research.
Aside from her businesses, Shantel is a model, actress, and fashion guru, who’s recently been taking over the social media game across Instagram and TikTok.
Shantel Jackson stopped by Shirley’s Temple to discuss her roots in Miami, hiring a trainer 3 days a week, dating Floyd Mayweather, mental health, starting her company Shoe Gummi, advice for entrepreneurs, growing apart from Nelly, and more.
AllHipHop: What was Shantel Jackson like in Miami?
Shantel Jackson: You know what? I wasn’t even Miss Jackson yet.
AllHipHop: Mama Jackson: In the making.
Shantel Jackson: Thanks Mama Jackson. I’d say in the making, young, figuring myself out and all that good stuff. I moved away from home, I moved to Vegas, then from Vegas I moved to LA. But I’m pretty much back and forth. LA’s more work for me. Going back to Miami, of course my family is there. I go back to Miami to spend and enjoy the money that I’ve made everywhere else.
AllHipHop: Do you miss Miami then?
Shantel Jackson: For sure, of course. I’m sorry, but there’s no other place like Miami. Miami has the good food, great clubs, great beaches.
AllHipHop: I know you love beaches!
Shantel Jackson: I love beaches for sure, and the amazing weather. I love the humidity. Humidity is amazing for your skin. It’s great for your skin, it’s great for your hair. Miami is the s###. Everybody’s moving there too. I looked at houses to buy another place, where did these outrageous prices come from? Damn, everybody’s moving to Miami.
AllHipHop: Are prices still affordable?
Shantel Jackson: Girl, they’re starting to have LA type prices in Miami. It’s getting crazy.
AllHipHop: Do you go out to beaches out here in LA?
Shantel Jackson: I do. If anything, Malibu. I love to go to Nobu right there, or Malibu Cafe.
AllHipHop: Do you need a reservation when you go?
Shantel Jackson: I just walk up. [laughs]
AllHipHop: What’s your order at Nobu Malibu?
Shantel Jackson: I wouldn’t even say I get anything good that they’re really known for. I don’t eat fish, crab, or shrimp. I’m a vegetarian. When I go there, it’s more for the ambience. It’s by the water of course, but I get the vegan cut sushi rolls. They have a mushroom plate, they have salads. Boring stuff.
AllHipHop: Do you workout?
Shantel Jackson: Now I have a trainer 3 days a week, just trying to get the body right for the summer. The pressure to look good, oh my gosh. In between those days, I do my own cardio.
AllHipHop: What does cardio look like?
Shantel Jackson: Either the Stairmaster.
AllHipHop: I hate the StairMaster.
Shantel Jackson: Yeah girl. Sometimes we got to do stuff that we hate, but we gotta do it. Either the StairMaster or I walk at an incline on the treadmill. Or you know what a really good cheat code is? Doing some really fast sets of either squats, an ab workout, calf raises in the sauna.
I’m the type of person that I hate to work out, I’m not going to lie. But when I see those results: yeah, I gotta be in here. This is what I need to be doing. That’s why I got a trainer. One, the trainer knows what they’re doing and targeting what I think my problem areas are, but to make me do it.
AllHipHop: Obviously, you dated Floyd Mayweather, who’s an incredible athlete. Someone told me he would jump rope for 30 minutes, then go run.
Shantel Jackson: I can’t take anything from him as an athlete. Just from what I’ve seen: amazing work ethic, amazing gym ethic. Control control control, when it comes down to that training.
AllHipHop: Did that motivate you to work out?
Shantel Jackson: Yeah, in a sense. When you’re with someone, what they’re doing can bounce onto you. You want to get more into fitness, dibble and double into what they’re doing.
AllHipHop: A huge part of the show is mental health. I know you went through a lot, what helped you get through your relationship?
Shantel Jackson: Just in general, from whatever situation: you live in and you learn. Whatever I’ve been through, I’m the person I am today from it. Sometimes it can be hard going through certain things, but you have to stay positive. I know some people think of that and they’re like “well how can I stay positive if this and that is going on?” It’s normal and it’s human to think of negativity, but don’t dwell on it. You can be in it and you gotta snap out of it if you want to move forward. That’s what is important, you have to move forward if you want to one, either grow, or see the different direction into whatever situation is pulling you into.
AllHipHop: How difficult was it to move forward?
Shantel Jackson: It’s something I had to do in general to continue to be me. To thrive, to grow my brand, grow myself, continue my business. If you stay stagnant, that’s where you’re going to stay.
AllHipHop: When did you start Shoe Gummi?
Shantel Jackson: Shoe Gummi was an idea in 2009. For those of you who don’t know, Shoe Gummi is an outer sole pad. It matches the bottom of my shoe, it’s a nude. I can honestly say I’m obsessed with heels. I can wear flats, sneakers, all that good stuff, but I prefer to be in heels. I feel good in heels. I look good in heels. I’m confident in heels. It’s a thing when we put on heels and you’re like yeah, my body’s sitting right. My ass.
AllHipHop: Rubi Rose was saying the same thing to me.
Shantel Jackson: I don’t know what it is, but it is a thing. It makes me feel sexy, confident. With putting on heels, my ass goes from “oh that’s cute,” to “damn, where’d I get all that from?” It’s really a thing, I’m just saying.
AllHipHop: What are your favorite heels to wear Shoe Gummi’s with?
Shantel Jackson: Any shoes that’s going to hurt my feet. If anything, it’s a pointed pump. That’s out of the question right there. Our toes are crammed in this point. It is sexy, but the Shoe Gummi is going to help with the pressure on the balls of your feet. So you either get one out of the two, I’ma help one out of the two.
I’m definitely a professional at walking in heels. I’ve been wearing heels on a constant basis ever since I could remember, but your feet never get used to that crazy arch or being in this uncomfortable position. Any shoe that allows me to put a Gummi on the bottom, I am. I want to be comfortable, I don’t want to worry about my feet.
AllHipHop: What was the reality of starting your own company?
Shantel Jackson: That’s how a lot of companies start, in general. I had an issue. I did not find a solution to my problem, so I fixed it.
AllHipHop: Are you that hands-on?
Shantel Jackson: I am. I am a little smart. [laughs]
AllHipHop: Being an entrepreneur, girls look up to you. Do you have any advice for aspiring businesses?
Shantel Jackson: What I always like to say to fellow entrepreneurs or anyone who wants to start a business or create their brand is do your research. Research is so important. Because even if you want to start a lip gloss, there are hundreds of thousands of lip glosses at this point. Do your research. If that’s what you’re so passionate about, do your research. How can your lip gloss be different? How can your packaging be different? What can you have on top of someone else that’s already been there and done that with the lip gloss?
There’s so many avenues to change something up. Is there a different formula for the lip gloss? Is it something going to make yours stay once you go underwater? Research is important, period.
AllHipHop: That means you spent a lot of time researching.
Shantel Jackson: Yes. It was times where, just personally, I didn’t research something that had to do with moving forward with my own products. I had to go back to the drawing board because if I would’ve done my research, I wouldn’t have to go back to the drawing board. That’s my #1 thing.
AllHipHop: I know you said you were on the road a lot. Was it hard dating a rapper?
Shantel Jackson: When we were together, I did travel with him a lot. Most of my work was through emails or phone calls. Once I launched my product, I was at home more. I had to be more hands-on, I was less on the road. I’d honestly say we grew apart. Not to say it was in a bad way and all this other stuff, sometimes when people are together, it’s natural to grow apart and that’s okay.
AllHipHop: Was it like almost falling out of love?
Shantel Jackson: I wouldn’t say falling out of love. I’m going this direction, he’s going this direction and it’s not a direction for both of us. Life just happens.
AllHipHop: What are you most excited for next?
Shantel Jackson: With my brand Shoe Gummi, we started off with black as a color for the product. Now, we moved into tan, as you guys can see on the bottom of my shoes. I don’t want to just say ladies because men wear high heels too. If you love your red bottoms, we got red as well for the Louboutins. We dropped colors, we have round and pointed style. I’m trying to figure out this thing with acting and getting back into that.
Rapper Jay Fizzle says he has a gang of children (rumors saying as many as 22), and all of them have different mothers.
The Paper Route artist and cousin of late Young Dolph did an interview with the Off the Porch podcast on the Dirty Glove Bastards platform where he talked about his really large family.
Surrounded by over thirty sexily clad women, Jay Fizzle talked about his upcoming project, how he likes to be around women and how he thinks his cousin is looking down on him, smiling.
When the host asked him what was the “toughest transition coming into music full time,” Fizzle revealed, “Learning street s##t, you feel me. I got a lot of kids. I got like 14 plus up … and I am so tied into the streets. This s##t hard.”
While he did not say it in this interview, many are saying he has 22 children. As he explained what 14 plus kids meant, the ladies giggled and, with one exclaiming, “Whoo, that’s half of us.”
The host asked him if he was done, Fizzle replied, “You want me to be real? Nah … I ain’t done. It’s really about long as you take care of them. It’s all good…so that don’t even matter.”
Fizzle continued, “I got the mothers and the babies. All of them got different mamas. I am on some boss s##t.”
This is not the first time he spoke about all of his children and baby mothers.
“Wait…Jay Fizzle from PRE has 22 kids and like 18 baby mommas!?🤡 As a woman how would you be okay with knowing that and still wanting to have his baby??”

MF DOOM’s widow reportedly corroborated one of Talib Kweli’s allegations against Now-Again Records founder Eothen “Egon” Alapatt.
According to TMZ, the late rapper’s widow Jasmine Dumile said Egon refuses to return her husband’s rhyme book. Dumile recalled multiple attempts to regain possession of the rhyme book. The recovery efforts began before MF DOOM passed away in 2020.
“We had hoped after DOOM transitioned Egon would do the right thing and return the books to the family but he has continued to ignore these requests,” Dumile told TMZ. “Unfortunately, Egon is not the only former associate abusing the likeness, art and life’s work of DOOM.”
Last week, Kweli accused Madlib’s longtime business partner Egon of stealing the rhyme book. It was one of several allegations listed in an Instagram post, which described Egon as a “culture vulture.”
“All I want to know is why Egon stole MF DOOM rhyme book and refuses to give it back to DOOM family, even after MF DOOM passed away,” Kweli wrote. “MF DOOM officiated this mans wedding FOR FREE, but then later stopped rocking with him because of his devil ways.”
Kweli also claimed Egon tried to block the release of Black Star’s latest album No Fear of Time, which was produced by Madlib.
I hate to start his celebration being negative so I won’t. Let’s go straight to the celebration! Lil Kim and Megan Thee Stallion are working on new music. Check out this image and tell me what you think.
This is the picture that The Queen Bee posted on her IG and got everything moving. But she didn’t make any mention of music. AHA! It does not take a rocket scientist, but we do have a source that gave us the deets. And they are saying “New music is coming.” And guess when? Tomorrow! You heard it here first and don’t tell no lies.
illseed still got it! Please credit me!
I am everywhere!
Seriously, this is a good thing. We need more collaborations within the generations. Kim is a legend and Meg is a future legend. Together what can go wrong? Nothing. I would be lying if I didn’t wonder what Nicki Minaj might be thinking. Nicki is the reigning queen of 2022, there’s no questioning that. But we have a lot of queens out here doing amazing things so I am here for it all. We actually need more kings!
Music journalist Jim DeRogatis is fighting a bid to force him to testify at R. Kelly’s child pornography trial.
According to a court filing, the music reporter, who handed over a video he’d been sent that helped police form the 2008 case against the R&B singer, has been subpoenaed to take the stand.
Kelly currently faces charges of enticing minors for sex in this federal trial, which also seeks to fix a 2008 trial that saw the singer acquitted of child pornography charges, Billboard reports.
Lawyers for Kelly’s business manager Derrel McDavid – who is currently charged with conspiracy to rig Kelly’s 2008 child pornography trial – ordered DeRogatis, the author of “Soulless: The Case Against R Kelly,” to testify.
Lawyers for DeRogatis invoked constitutional and other protections for the press in arguing that the writer need not testify.
They claimed that calling the critic to testify could amount to “harassment or intimidation,” given that there were other ways to work the same facts DeRogatis can provide into evidence.
They also cited reports that a window in the DeRogatis family home was shot out after his newspaper reported on Kelly.
The reporter took the stand at Kelly’s 2008 trial but refused to answer questions, citing an Illinois law that shields reporters’ rights and the U.S. Constitution’s free press rights and right against self-incrimination.
Whoopi Goldberg has criticized fantasy fans who took issue with the diverse cast of hot new shows “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” and “House of the Dragon.”
During “The View’s” latest season premiere, host Whoopi hit back at racist criticism of HBO’s “Game of Thrones” prequel “House of the Dragon” and Amazon’s “The Rings of Power,” a prequel to “The Hobbit” and “The Lord of the Rings.”
Both series include racially diverse characters in fantasy universes originally created for different stories.
Some fans have criticized showrunners of being “too woke” in their casting choices for the new shows. Whoopi addressed these comments, saying the two fantasy shows “are not real” and “there are no dragons, there are no hobbits.”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5BmdeXYen0
She continued: “Are you telling me Black people can’t be fake people, too? I don’t know if there’s, like, a hobbit club, I don’t know if there are gonna be protests. But people: What is wrong with y’all?”
Co-host Sunny Hostin added: “What I think is fascinating is like, dragons are OK, fire-breathing dragons, and people with white hair that are born like that when they’re little, and violet eyes, but the Black people in it is just a bridge too far for these folks.”
“All of y’all who have problems because there are Black hobbits? Get a job!” Whoopi clapped back. “Get a job! Go find yourself, because you are focused on the wrong stuff.”
If you don't like it, don't watch. B####### about BIPOCs in a fantasy story is really just showing your hand. Is the show perfect? No but it's fun and well written and well acted. It's visually stunning and the music is amazing.#LordOfTheRings#RingsOfPower
Cormega seeks to change and transform an average Hip-Hop year into an amazing one with the sequel to a classic, The Realness.
The Realness II is set to drop in October and looks to close out an interesting year for Hip-Hop. Mega has taken a different approach than the microwave rap that has come to dominate the genre.
Cormega explained why The Realness II has taken years to manifest.
“I’ve learned to be patient. My greatest acquisition in the last 10 years is patience. And another acquisition is empathy,” Mega told AllHipHop’s Chuck “Jigsaw” Creekmur. “Sometimes you want an artist or a producer to do something and they say they are gonna do it and they take long. Or they just front. There were a couple of artist that I waited on and one of them fronted on me.” In the interview, he chronicles how the “fronting” rapper turned into the song featuring Nas.
More than that, the album features Cormega, who is one of the most prolific and intelligent artists ever. He’s known for his lyricism and graphic portrayal of the streets. He’s dropped numerous albums as well as several classics The Realness (2001), The True Meaning (2002), The Testament (2005), Born and Raised (2009) and Mega Philosophy (2014), which was produced by Large Pro.
The Realness II, a partnership with Viper Records, is expected to be one of the best of 2022. The current single is “Essential,” produced by Havoc of Mobb Deep fame.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5siDt6s8SuQ
“The finished product is something I can be proud of,” Cormega said. “I’m excited about this album. I’ve seen a man cry after hearing one of these songs and he was with a woman.”
The Weeknd has assured fans that his “voice is safe” after abruptly scrapping a gig due to vocal issues at the weekend.
The singer was performing “Can’t Feel My Face” towards the start of his set at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, on Saturday night when he suddenly stopped and left the stage.
He returned later and explained that he had lost his voice.
In an update on Instagram, The Weeknd revealed that his voice is on the mend and will be ready for his shows in his hometown of Toronto, Canada, on September 22nd and 23rd
“Doctor says my voice is safe and with rest i’ll be solid and able to bring the show my TORONTO fans are waiting for,” he wrote. “LA date is being worked out soon. thank you SO much for all the love and understanding that’s come my way. i love you all so much… XO.”
After he stopped the show, the 32-year-old apologized to the audience and explained that he couldn’t “give you the concert that I want to give you right now.”
He later addressed the incident on Twitter, writing, “My voice went out during the first song and I’m devastated. Felt it go and my heart dropped. My deepest apologies to my fans here. I promise I’ll make it up to you with a new date.”
The two Toronto shows and the rescheduled Inglewood date, which has yet to be announced, will conclude the North American leg of The Weeknd’s After Hours til Dawn Tour.
Justin Bieber has postponed the remaining dates of his Justice World Tour to focus on his health.
In June, the Canadian pop star announced that he would be canceling a series of concerts and appearances as he had been diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome and half of his face was paralyzed.
The following month, Justin confirmed he would restart the trek with a concert in Lucca, Italy, on July 31st before continuing with his planned shows.
However, the “Sorry” hitmaker issued a statement on Tuesday in which he revealed that recent gigs had taken a “real toll” on his physical health.
https://www.instagram.com/p/CiLrmuZPHXp/?hl=en
“Earlier this year, I went public about my battle with Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, where my face was partly paralyzed,” he began. “As the result of this illness, I was not able to complete the North America leg of the Justice Tour. After resting end consulting with doctors, family and team, I went to Europe in an effort to continue with the tour. I performed six live shows, but it took a real toll on me.”
Justin went on to note that he realized he needed to take some time out after performing in Brazil last weekend.
“After getting off stage, the exhaustion overtook me and I realized that I needed to make my health a priority right now. So, I’m going to take a break from touring for the time being,” the 28-year-old continued. “I’m going to be OK, but I need time to rest and get better period I’ve been so proud to bring this show and our message of justice to the world. Thank you for your prayers and support throughout all of this! I love you all passionately!”
Justin’s announcement affects 70 upcoming gigs. It remains unknown when he will be able to perform again.
Kim Kardashian is taking a “realistic” approach to combatting climate change amid backlash over private jet usage by celebrities.
In July, the reality TV star was named on a list of famous faces who made a high number of flights in a private plane this year, alongside the likes of Taylor Swift, Floyd Mayweather, Jay-Z, Blake Shelton, Steven Spielberg, and Mark Wahlberg.
In a conversation for the September 2022 issue of Interview magazine, editor Mel Ottenberg asked Kim for her take on measures that can be taken to fight global warming.
“I believe in climate change, and I believe that anything can help. But I also believe in being realistic and I think sometimes there’s so much to worry about on this planet, and it can be really scary to live your life with anxiety,” she said. “I have super climate change-involved friends, and I love learning from them. I do what I can, but you have to pick and choose what really works for you in your life.”
Kim went on to note, “No one’s going to be 100 percent perfect.”
Elsewhere in the chat, the SKIMS founder discussed her hectic schedule and revealed that she has a problem with “saying no to people.”
“I hate when people ask me for things. It’s like, ‘Hey, will you do this work thing, it’ll just be two seconds.’ And I’m like, ‘It’s not that easy. I’m coming from Calabasas, which is an hour each way.’ It takes about two hours in glam, so if someone asks me to do a five-minute cameo, it’s never just that. But, all my friends and family, no one ever really asks me for anything or needs anything. We’re all just cool,” the 41-year-old added.
More information is has revealed surrounding the death of Canadian rapper, Pat Stay. Most surprising, according to recent police reports, the killing was not random.
Stay, a popular battle rapper who recently targeted West Coast chart-topper The Game in a diss track released days before his demise was murdered early morning on Sunday, Sept. 4 in Halifax, Novia Scotia while partying at the Yacht Club Social, Bar & Distillery.
Officers were called to the bar near Sackville St. and Lower Water around 12:30 a.m., according to CTV News, after someone reported a stabbing.
Stay, 36, was discovered by first responders and taken to a local hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
Police have not shared if an arrest has been made, and say it is too early to determine the suspect’s motive. However, they do believe this was not a random act.
Cst. John Macleod from the Halifax Regional Police said, “At this point, we are in the early stages. We are looking at all avenues to determine what occurred that night.”
“We are asking anyone that might have information, or might have video, or photographs from the time of the incident to contact police to help us further this investigation,” MacLeod continued.
The Hip-Hop world has been in a whirlwind of shock since the murder, hosting tributes and posting memorials.
“hiphop lost one of the best battlers of all time … RIP @patstay .. KINGS NEVER DIE‼️”

Britney Spears posts cryptic card on Instagram after taking swipe at son
Britney Spears uploaded a video to Instagram of the number eight being drawn onto a playing card, not long after using the site to call out her son’s recent comments to the media.
Taking to the photo-sharing platform, Britney captioned the clip – which features the eight of diamonds card – “8 sideways is infinity or am I making that up (infinity sign) ????”
The teen’s comments followed up from his father, Britney’s ex-husband Kevin Federline, claiming that Jayden and his brother Sean, 16, were embarrassed by Britney posting nude selfies on social media.
“He stopped seeing me… I posted something of him, but he got really mad so unfortunately, I haven’t been able to post my loving family,” Britney wrote.
The singer continued, “Either way I’m so sorry children I continue to do social media… I’m sorry you feel I do it for attention… I’m sorry for the way you feel… but guess what???? I’ve got news for you… I’m a child of God as well we all are in God’s eyes… so NOPE I’m not sorry… I’ve learned to say SO!” The Toxic star added a note to Jayden: “I’ve tried my best at being the best person I can be… To be basically held hostage in homes under nurses and bulls**t I hope my kids one day understand my reasoning of my play in water revealing myself as any woman would being held under blankets and supervision under the conservatorship!”
Britney’s conservatorship was terminated after 13 years in November.
Kanye West has set his sights on buying a shoe company.
Since returning to social media this week, the Stronger rapper has taken aim at a series of top Adidas executives in relation to the management of his popular Yeezy fashion line.
West returned to Instagram to share that he is now looking to acquire a footwear brand.
https://www.instagram.com/p/CiDwexYvyaj/?hl=en
“I need a shoe company like how Jamie Salter bought Reebok or I’ll take over some shoe factories,” the star wrote, referring to the acquisition of Reebok from Adidas in August. “I’ve went to (investment bank) JP Morgan but of course they won’t give me no deal flow cause Jin(g) Ulrich is on the board of both Adidas and JP Morgan. What shoe company will give me control. I need to be the head of the board and chief decision maker.”
West began collaborating with the team at the German sportswear company on his Yeezy collection back in 2015.
Executives for Adidas have not yet commented on the hip-hop mogul’s latest posts.
Since its debut, Nicki Minaj’s “Super Freaky Girl” has remained in the Hot 100’s Top 10 region. It currently holds the #7 spot on the latest weekly rankings of America’s most popular songs.
It appears Minaj has a plan for “Super Freaky Girl” to possibly jump back to the #1 position. The Queens, New York native teased that another remix to the song could drop in the near future.
“#QueenMix coming to collect her things. Soon come 🔥🔥🔥🔥,” shared Nicki Minaj early Wednesday morning. That tweet included what sounded like a snippet of the “Super Freaky Girl” remix.
The Twitter video begins with the 39-year-old rapper shouting out Miami, Boston, Chicago, Atlanta, and New York. This led to online speculation that female rappers from those cities will join Minaj on an extended version of the song.
Nicki Minaj later returned to the Twitter platform to provide even more hints about the potential forthcoming track. She also tweeted, “Also guys, this is part 1. There may be a part ✌🏾 #QueenMix.”
Also guys, this is part 1. There may be a part ✌🏾 #QueenMix
Previously, Minaj dropped the “Roman Remix” to “Super Freaky Girl” which features the rap star’s alter ego Roman Zolanski. An official music video for the original version of the song has amassed more than 6 million views since premiering on YouTube on September 1.
Nicki Minaj’s 2022 includes her releasing “Do We Have a Problem?” with Lil Baby, “Blick Blick” with Coi Leray, and “We Go Up” with Fivio Foreign. This year’s MTV Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award recipient also dropped the Queen Radio: Volume 1 greatest hits compilation which peaked at #10 on the Billboard 200 chart.
Kiari “Offset” Cephus seems to be fully stepping into his role as a solo rapper. After rising to fame as part of the Quality Control Music-backed rap group Migos, the southern emcee dropped two new singles over the last month.

Migos earned a #1 song on the Hot 100 in 2017 when “Bad And Boujee” featuring Lil Uzi Vert peaked in the chart’s top spot. The trio of Offset, Takeoff, and Quavo have four Top 10 entries.
Years before the rumors of a Migos breakup, Offset dropped his first solo album, Father of 4. That 2019 studio LP debuted at #4 on the Billboard 200 chart with 89,000 first-week units. Father of 4 hosts the “Clout” single featuring Set’s wife Cardi B.

P-Valley became a breakout hit. Creator Katori Hall’s drama series about residents of a Mississippi town earned widespread praise. In particular, J. Alphonse Nicholson’s portrayal of Lil Murda earned him an NAACP Image Award nomination.
Tamron Hall kicked off the fourth season of her daytime talk show by inviting members of the P-Valley cast onto the program. Nicco Annan, Shannon Thornton, and Gail Bean joined J. Alphonse Nicholson for the sit-down interview.
At one point, Tamron Hall pointed out that P-Valley and J. Alphonse Nicholson have earned critical praise. Nicholson fought back tears as the live audience applauded the actor/percussionist for his work on the show.
“I’m just blessed to be here. This experience, the love that people show you is overwhelming,” J. Alphonse Nicholson told Hall. He added, “Such an honor to be back here in New York and it is such an honor to be able to bring such a complex story to the table and to be a representation for any and everyone.”
J. Alphonse Nicholson’s Lil Murda Represents Another Side Of The LGBTQ Community
The Lil Murda character is an aspiring rapper who also happens to be a closeted gay man. He is in love with Uncle Clifford (played by Nicco Annan) which forces the streets-raised rhymer to embrace his own sexuality.
J. Alphonse Nicholson also told Tamron Hall, “I call Lil Murda ‘The Every Man,’ and so I’m just crying because like I said, the love is overwhelming and being able to step into these shoes and bring the Katori Hall’s story to life and represent a Black woman. Truly, I’m grateful for it.”
