Rapper Katie Got Bandz, a pioneer Chicagoland Drill scene, said she is still trying to take in being asked to be a part of Nicki Minaj’s “Super Freaky Girl Queen Remix” and believes the universe answered her prayers from earlier in the year with Drillary Clinton project.
In an interview with WGN 9, she shared it was a “dope experience” to have the Queen of the Barbz reach out to her.
While the two artists never met, she said they met on social media after she made a point and have been “bonding” ever since.
Katie Got Bandz said she and Nicki started getting cool after she dropped her latest project “Drillary Clinton 4” earlier this year.
She told the host that Drillary Clinton, a play on the former first lady and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s name, is her alter ego.
“I was a fan (still am a fan) of Hillary Clinton,” she said. “It’s presidential and since I have my slogan ‘Go Vote Lil ####’ [it worked].”
She also said the fans gave her the name because she is the first lady of Drill music.
With DC4, she said, “I spoke on the things that’s happening now with my music. I manifested and worked and prayed and said I was gonna get a song with Nicki and it happened.”
“She sent me the beat and said, ‘Mama, I know this might be a little poppy for you,’” she stated. “But I responded, ‘I’m versatile I can do any type of song.”
She jumped on it showed she was more than just drill artist.
Her versatility is about to be on full blast with her upcoming project “DC4 Deluxe” which will feature big features that she cannot talk about.
As she talked about this amazing opportunity with the Young Money princess and the lack of women making music out of Chicago, Katie Got Bandz said she is with “love” and “unity” not just in Chicago, but around the world.
Hopefully, this unity can spill over into Nicki’s world.
Since the promotion and release of this song, Ms. Petty has re-engaged her beef with Cardi B, a Hip-Hop squabble that at one point spilled off the record and into the streets.
An incarcerated man proclaimed himself the reincarnation of Tupac Shakur and demanded access to the late rapper’s wealth.
According to court documents obtained by AllHipHop, an inmate named Tarnell Leon Jones filed a lawsuit to take Tupac’s identity.
Jones claimed he was Tupac Shakur returned from the dead. Jones admitted he did not look like Pac and could not remember the rapper’s social security number. He provided publicly known information, like Tupac’s birthday and the date of the infamous shooting at the Quad in New York, which many say sparked the “East Coast/West Coast” war in hip-hop.
But, Jones maintained that if he were allowed to undergo some elaborate medical tests, the world would see that he has two blood types – and possibly two hearts.
Jones told the court to Google his full name because it somehow translates to Tupac’s “reincarnation name.” He also sought damages for incidents that occurred in the ’90s and requested any documents pertaining to Tupac’s identity.
“[Jones] alleges that he was shot by police officers in New York City, Los Angeles, and Atlanta between 1992 and 1995,” United States District Judge Hector Gonzalez wrote. “He also alleges that a backpack containing more than $1 million was ‘robbed’ from him, although he has not specified who took it or where this event occurred. [Jones] seeks reimbursement for the medical expenses that he incurred because of these events.”
The judge added, “He further demands that the Court restore his birth certificate, Social Security number, all other forms of identification, and ‘my life’ more generally. Plaintiff also wants other financial assets to which Mr. Shakur would be entitled if he were alive today: his songs, music studios, cars, trucks, and houses.”
Judge Gonzalez dismissed the case, deeming it to be frivolous. The judge noted Jones is a “prolific litigator” who’s had at least two other cases dismissed for being foolish.
“Plaintiff’s complaint is nonsensical and does not present any cognizable federal claims that could possibly have occurred within any relevant statute of limitations period,” Judge Gonzales wrote.
Jones filed at least 13 lawsuits in the past decade in Colorado, where he’s incarcerated in the San Carlos Correctional Facility. He submitted the Tupac claims in New York.
Judge Gonzalez dismissed Jones’ claims with prejudice, which means the inmate can’t refile the lawsuit.
After experiencing a life-changing car accident in July, one that had doctors questioning if he would be able to walk in the next few years, Lil Duval is showing the world why everyone needs to “smile.”
Rolled out in a wheelchair, he performed on stage for the first time since his accident, singing “I’m living my best life … I ain’t going back and forth with up n##gas.” Lyrics from his hit song, “Smile” featuring Snoop Dogg (who was not present).
Duval, dressed in orange, hopped out of his wheelchair with his cane and danced across the stage.
He shared with fans that doctors anticipated it would be years before he would be able to perform again, but he proved them all wrong at the One Music Festival and promised there is more to come.
The One Music Fest is one day in and hosted a series of incredible moments for music lovers. From 1 am to 11 pm, four stages balanced some of the hottest artists in the culture, ranging from neo-soul to trap to dance hall.
One Music Fest (NDS Original)
On the Slutty Vegan Stage, one of the principal sponsors, artists like Dear Callie, Kenneth Whalum, Alex Vaughn, Phony PPL, and Sevyn Streeter took to the stage and had fans rocking.
On the Toyota Stage Lady Wray, Bleu, DVSN, Sean Paul, Rick Ross, and Gucci Mane performed, while Lil Mo, Amerie, CKay, and others rocked the Freedom Stage.
The OMF mainstage jumped off the day with Algebra Basset & Anthony David, who embodied the 21st-century incarnation of Tammy Terrell and Marvin Gaye.
R&B Diva Mya took the stage and danced through her catalog singing hits that carried many in the audience through much of their teens and young adult lives. Body still banging and voice still on point, she represented for the younger side of Gen X and older Millennials.
After Mya, Atlanta legends Jagged Edge jumped to the stage to sing their hits. People were overwhelmed not just by how many joints the quartet has, but that they also wrote some of the biggest songs for other artists. “Nice and Slow” was penned by a member, further solidifying them as a force to be reckoned with.
Another force to be reckoned with (during their set) was Lil Duval, who made his first performance since his horrible accident months ago. He came on stage in a wheelchair but jumped up with his cane and sang his hit song, “Smile (Living My Best Life).” After dancing up a storm and giving a performance of his life, he shared with the fans that doctors said it would take years for him to walk again. But here he was in the flex doing what he was placed on the earth to do.
The next set on the main stage was Jeezy, who was at home in the peach city. He did all of his big hits with ease, showing that despite him being a married man with four children (one a brand new one with his wife), he still knows how to give the streets “the real.”
Jeezy, One Music Fest (NDS Original)
Joining Jeezy was Stacey Abrams, the Georgia gubernatorial candidate in the highly contested governor’s race, and Andre Dickens, the mayor of Atlanta. Abrams took the mic and shared a plea to be the next governor, promising to legalize cannabis in the purple state.
Four of her six children were there supporting her, including Zion who came out to surprise her after she sang the song on her “Miseducation of Lauryn Hill” album titled for him.

The first day of One Music Fest solidified it as one of the most well-rounded and beautifully executed festivals dedicated to music from the African diaspora, celebrating the breadth of Hip-Hop, Soul, Gospel, Dance Hall, and R&B.
Rap star Kanye West was banned from Instagram for a series of anti-semitic poses, and now Twitter has the rapper in their crosshairs.
Kanye returned to Twitter after a two-year hiatus, to the glee of his 31 million followers, including the soon-to-be owner, Elon Musk.
Ye left his social media platform of choice, Instagram, after his account was hit with restrictions on Friday (October 7th) following a series of posts platform handlers considered anti-semitic.
The post that got him banned from Instagram came during a heated exchange with Sean “Diddy” Combs, who was attempting to contact the rapper about his controversial “White Lives Matter” T-shirt.
And now Twitter will be tested as they prepare for Elon Musk to take over the platform.
Many believed Musk’s involvement in the company would loosen some restrictions surrounding free speech, but that may not be the case. Despite the new boss welcoming Kanye with open arms, Twitter has already removed a controversial post by Kanye.
Earlier today (October 9th), Kanye took aim at the Jewish people again while defending himself from being anti-Semitic.
Kanye threatened to go “death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE,” while adding he can’t be anti-Semitic because Black people are actually Jew.”
Twitter removed the post and locked Kanye’s account.
According to the ADL, the ideology originated with the Black Hebrew Israelite (BHI) movement, which the organization labeled a fringe religious sect that asserts that people of color are Israel’s true children.
The sect believes that white people or “conventionally accepted Jews” are not members of the tribes.
“Black Hebrew Israelites are not Jews, and Black Jews are not the same as Black Hebrew Israelites. Black Jews and Jews of color are genuine members of the Jewish faith,” the ADL says. “Black Hebrew Israelites identify specifically with the biblical Israelites and consider Judaism, Christianity, and Islam to be false religions. Many BHI teachers claim that Jews and other white people forced Black individuals into other religions. Extreme factions believe white Jews are perpetuating identity theft.”
Ye turned his attention to the events unfolding in Iran, where protests erupted after the death of a young woman in police custody after she was arrested by the morality police for violating the country’s strict Islamic dress code.
In a Hot Ones interview on Thursday, the Surfin’ rapper hinted at the possibility of retiring soon.
When asked whom he looked to as the blueprint for ageing gracefully as an artist, Cudi – real name Scott Mescudi – replied, “JAY-Z for sure… But I don’t feel like I have what they have.”
The star continued, “I just don’t know if I wanna do music, drop albums for too much longer, you know? I’m kind of nearing the end on all things Kid Cudi, I think.”
Pressed to elaborate, Cudi revealed what his dream job would be after music.
“I’m really curious to see what else I can do,” he mused. “I was thinking about this – and this is like a wacky idea I had years ago. But it would be cool to, like, one day be a kindergarten teacher. And just do that for a couple years. Like, when I’m, like, 50.”
Why teaching appealed to him, the 38-year-old explained, “I just, like, infect the youth with that freshness. Get ’em young, and then those kids will just sprinkle the freshness to the world, and I’ll just be like, ‘Yes! Yes!’”
Elsewhere in the interview, Cudi called his music style “space punk rock,” describing it as “super synth-y but reckless and dangerous and edgy.”
His latest album Entergalactic dropped on September 30th.
Jada Pinkett Smith is to publish an “honest and gripping” memoir next year.
On Thursday, editors at Fourth Estate and HarperCollins announced that they had signed a deal with the actress to distribute the as-yet-untitled book in fall 2023.
In a summary, PR and publishing director Michelle Kane promised fans that the book is a “riveting journey” that chronicles her childhood in Baltimore, Maryland as well as her stint as a “petty drug dealer,” her friendship with rapper Tupac Shakur at high school, and her rise to fame in Hollywood.
In addition, Jada will reflect on her “complicated” marriage to husband Will Smith and “and a joyous embrace of motherhood.”
“In crisis at age 40, Jada recounts the excruciating choices she was forced to make to redefine her life in every way,” the synopsis reads. “At the heart of this powerful book are two unexpected love stories, one being Jada’s complicated marriage to Will Smith, the other being the one with herself.”
Regarding the project, Michelle described Jada as “one of the most powerful global voices in modern popular culture.”
“I have admired her fiercely for decades now and cannot wait to be part of what is undoubtedly going to be a landmark publication,” she added.
Antoine Fuqua has praised Will Smith’s performance in “Emancipation.”
In the upcoming film, which is based on a true story, Smith plays Peter – an enslaved person who escapes from a Louisiana plantation and makes his way North, where he joins the Union Army.
In an interview with Deadline, director Fuqua promised fans that Smith puts on an “incredible” performance in the drama.
“Will is on a whole different level, in this film,” he commented.
“Emancipation,” also featuring Ben Foster, Steven Ogg, and Charmaine Bingwa, is set to be released in U.S. cinemas on December 2nd and via Apple TV+ the following week.
However, there was debate over whether the project would be unveiled this year after Smith hit the headlines worldwide after slapping Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars in March.
Yet, Fuqua was confident the film would get a release date due to the support of the team at Apple.
“It was Apple, behind the scenes, they were pushing that as well, trying to navigate through the waters. They never stopped talking about releasing the film, and when would be best strategically,” the filmmaker continued. “Apple would call me often, with Will, and I have to say Apple has been amazing through this whole film.”
The producers of Kim Kardashian’s new true-crime podcast have insisted they contacted victims.
On Monday, the first episode of the reality TV star’s “The System: The Case of Kevin Keith” debuted on Spotify.
The podcast explores the life of convicted murderer Kevin Keith and makes a case for his release from prison, however, two of Keith’s alleged victims – Quanita and Quentin Reeves – have spoken out against the project, claiming that they were not contacted before it premiered.
But in light of the criticism, producers at production companies Tenderfoot TV and Big City TV maintained that they did reach out to the siblings.
“The production team of ‘The System’ made multiple attempts to reach out to the Reeves siblings. At the time, they decided not to share their story and requested we no longer contact them,” they said in a statement to TMZ. “If they have reconsidered, we welcome them to sit down for the podcast at any time.”
Quanita and Quentin were among the six people injured in a 1994 shooting which Keith was sentenced for. The shooting left three others dead.
In an interview for the Daily Mail on Thursday, the pair alleged that they weren’t contacted by Kim or any other producer about their story.
“(Kim) did not contact us, not one time,” he commented. “If Kim Kardashian wants to get involved, she should come and meet us face-to-face.”
He continued, “We saw it with our own eyes. You don’t forget something like that. I don’t care what Kim Kardashian says – Kevin did it.”
Quanita added, “We should have been the first call.”
In 2010, Keith’s sentence was commuted to life without parole.
Whoopi Goldberg has slammed a film critic for claiming she wore a “fat suit” in the new movie “Till.”
During an appearance on “The View,”, the “Sister Act” actress called out an unnamed reviewer who made a comment about her wearing a “distracting fat suit” to portray Emmett Till’s grandmother, Alma Carthan, in the biographical feature.
However, during a conversation on the talk show, Whoopi noted that she wasn’t wearing a fat suit and looked different because she had suffered a variety of health issues in the lead-up to production beginning in September 2021.
“I don’t really care about how you felt about the movie. But you should know that was not a fat suit, that was me. That was me,” she fired. “That was steroids. Remember last year? I assume you don’t watch the show, or you would know that was not a fat suit. It’s O.K. not to be a fan of a movie, but you want to leave people’s looks out. Just comment on the acting. And if you have a question, ask somebody. I’m sure you didn’t mean to be demeaning.”
Directed by Chinonye Chukwu, “Till” is delves into the life of Mamie Till-Mobley and her fight for justice after the lynching of her 14-year-old son Emmett in 1955.
The film, which also features Danielle Deadwyler, Jalyn Hall, Frankie Faison, and Haley Bennett, is set to be released in U.S. cinemas on October 14th.
Former football star/rapper Antonio Brown is back in headlines after a Florida music promoter alleged he beat him for $500,000.
In a lawsuit filed on Wednesday, October 6th, in a Sarasota County Circuit Court, a promoter for Secure the Bag Entertainment said Brown used Lil Wayne’s name to try and get a contract for $100,000.
The complaint alleged that the athlete breached his contract and defamed the company over an “exclusive artist agreement” between him and Secure the Bag Entertainment.
One allegation is that he sold the company’s owner, Ryan Kane a fake high-end watch for $160,000. Other complaints said he defrauded the company out of $178,000 in counterfeit expenses for reimbursement and made a bunch of sexist, racist, lewd, and threatening messages to several STB execs and others.
The lawsuit says the expenses included Brown spending $87,000 to rent a Los Angeles recording studio for five hours and about $8,500 to pay for some of Brown’s entourage to fly in a private jet.
It also states, when they refused to pay the expenses, the football player started making “defamatory statements on social media about STB writing bad checks and not paying their bills.”
Kane said he considers Brown nothing but a “liar and a thief.”
“Now I know how the Raiders felt when they paid him [at least $1 million], and he never played a single game for them,” Kane said.
“I gave him … a huge advance and an opportunity to make money legitimately, and all he did was walk off the field,” he continued.
According to Kane, he gave Brown a $150,000 advance to sign with his company, believing he would shoot a video to promote “Cracked,” a song he did with Lil Wayne.
But, after Brown told Kane that Lil Wayne wanted to be paid “$250,000 in cash” and that he would receive the money for the Young Money rapper, things got crazy when Brown threatened the man saying, “the check better be good.”
Kane wrote the check with good intentions but decided to stop payment after some thought.
The New York Post reported after the video was made public, the troubled All-Pro wide receiver texted one of their reporters, saying, “do what u got to do p#### u white boys dead already.”
One of the most prestigious schools in the United States, the University of California (Berkeley), has announced that they will be offering a new course in the Spring 2023 semester, zeroing in on the feminist dynamics of Nicki Minaj.
The course is titled, “Nicki Minaj: The Black Barbie Femmecee & Hip Hop Feminisms,” and will embark on encouraging students to consider the impact the Queens native has had on HipHop culture and the music industry.
It further endeavors to connect to the “broader historical-social structures and Hip-Hop feminisms.”
Professor El Henson, a postdoctoral fellow in Black studies, whose Twitter handle is @dr_peaceandlove, tweeted to the rap star, “I’m so excited to be teaching AAS 140.2: “Nicki Minaj: The Black Barbie Femmecee & Hip Hop Feminisms” this spr 2023 @ uc berkeley. we would be hella happy & honored for u to stop by!”
“I’m finalizing things this fall & would love to talk more details w/ u via DM?” she continued.
Professor Henson also thanked the Barbz for being supportive of her effort.
“Barbz: thank yal so much for the love & interest in my class! words cannot capture my excitement & appreciation for yal support. i feel so encouraged & i’m looking forward to sharing more details as they’re finalized!”
Kanye West and Justin Bieber may no longer be friends after the rap star attacked his wife earlier in the week during one of many Instagram tirades.
The straw that broke the camel’s back was Ye making fun of his wife’s nose and hanging out with other men – most notably Drake!
It started when Hailey defended Vogue Editor Gabriella Karefa-Johnson after Kanye attacked her. When Yeezy heard about it, he basically called the young socialite “Nose Job Hailey Baldloose.”
He then said, “Get your girl before I get mad. You spose to be my friend right.”
After that, Kanye posted a picture of Hailey on a date with Drake in 2016.
Justin and his wife spent time in Kanye’s Wyoming estate when he was recording Donda. Back then, the two seemed to be very supportive of Kanye.
According to the TMZ, Justin believes he has always been a good friend to Kanye but has decided to distance himself after the attack on his wife.
Kanye has been pushing everyone off, including Adidas, which is considering pulling its deal with him. If that should happen, his net worth could be reduced by a few billion dollars.
Britney Spears has rejected her mother Lynne Spears’s apology to her.
Following the termination of her controversial conservatorship last November, the popstar has regularly criticized her family, including mum Lynne and father Jamie, for their treatment of her over the course of the 13-year arrangement.
Last week, Lynne pleaded for the 40-year-old’s forgiveness in the comments section of one of her Instagram posts, commenting that she was “soooo sorry” and asked that she unblock her so that they could speak in person.
Britney returned to Instagram and lashed out over Lynne’s attempt to reconcile.
“Mom take your apology and go f### yourself !!! And to all the doctors for f###### with my mind… I pray you all burn in hell !!! Kiss my mother f###### ass !!!!” she wrote.
In addition, Britney reiterated claims that she was “scared to move” during her stay at a mental health facility in 2019.
“For 13 years, I had to meet doctors weekly to bring up my past which made it worse !!! As for my whole family including my brother, sister, cousins, aunts, uncles, and well damn the whole audience…were either stoned or drunk of their a#### !!!” the Toxic hitmaker continued. “I was the mother f###### Saint who was scared to move or I knew my dad would put me somewhere if I didn’t cooperate… even in America, the land of the free !!!! Years go by and he still puts me in a psych ward !!!! Not one mother f###### person stood up for me !!!”
Kanye West responded to criticism of his ‘White Lives Matter’ shirt.
After receiving backlash for wearing the controversial top to his Yeezy fashion show in Paris on Monday, the Donda rapper addressed his critics in an Instagram post.
Alongside a Vanessa Beecroft image of a white woman holding two Black babies, Kanye referred to himself in third person and wrote, “Ye cares about black lives. Ye’s White Lives Matters is a comment on the status quo.”
The star continued by critiquing those who have commented on the shirt.
“When an artist like Ye challenges those framed spaces – in a dialectical way – he is persecuted. He puts the grand narratives at risk,” the 45-year-old recounted. “Ye proves that if artists have an opinion in territories that are unknown and new, like any true revolutionary, they are assaulted. Ye is an artist, Ye cares about all lives, all people, and he is working against all oppression.”
Earlier, Vogue editor Gabriella Karefa-Johnson explained in her own Instagram post why the shirt’s message sparked criticism, arguing that by affirming White Lives Matter, Kanye was “trying to illustrate a dystopian world when whiteness might become extinct or at least would be in enough danger to demand defence.”
She continued, “But the danger is that, this very premise, the idea that white supremacy is in danger of extinction… is what justifies mass incarceration, murder on masse, indeed even the advent of slavery.”
Florida native and rapper Flo Rida has kicked in to help those disenfranchised by Hurricane Ian, the category 4 storm that devastated the state when it touched down at the end of September.
The chart-topper partnered with Miami Gardens to team up with relief and rescue.
According to CBS Miami News, the “Low” rapper sponsored a trailer that will bring supplies to the Harlem Heights community, a neighborhood to the north of Fort Myers after they petitioned the city to help them.
He said, “I feel like it is very important that we give back, in any shape or form.”
“What we are doing is feeling up this trailer, so that we can go and help the community of Harlem Heights that’s going through the devastation,” he explained as he referenced what seemed to be a semi-trailer eighteen-wheeler filled with much-needed resources.
The star added, “It is important when you are blessed to be a blessing. From day one of my career, I always thought that if anything happens and I am financially stable, I am going to give back.”
The rapper stood with Reggie Leon, the vice mayor of Miami Gardens, who said, “It could be us next week. So, we want to make sure that we continue to support our sister city.”
In addition to helping those impacted by the hurricane, he went a local school in Miami Gardens and helped celebrate the school custodial engineers on National Custodian Day.
He posted on Instagram, “Scott Lake Elementary School welcome me and the @theimgallstars with open arms. Glad I was able to help show them that all positions in school is just as important as the next. @oyababyy@variefresh3@intlnephew”
In addition to the Hip-Hop star coming and inspiring the children to celebrate the janitors, the parents in the PTA took over the custodial staff’s duties for the day, and one employee who walks hours to and from work every day received a new car.
It appears a potential new body of work by Iggy Azalea has the Australian in the hot seat. This week, controversial singer/rapper Tory Lanez announced he will be executive producing Azalea’s next music project.
“The first FEMALE URBAN ALBUM I will EXECUTIVE PRODUCE will be @IGGYAZALEA Next Album!!!🔥,” tweeted Tory Lanez on October 7.
He continued, “I’ve been wanting to EP a FEMALE ARTIST’s ALBUM for a while… I want to RAISE THE BAR… On the BEATS, PRODUCTION & OVERALL EXPERIENCE of FEMALE ALBUMS… this is going to be fun 🔥🔥.”
The first FEMALE URBAN ALBUM i will EXECUTIVE PRODUCE will be @IGGYAZALEA Next Album !!!🔥…. I’ve been wanting to E.P a FEMALE ARTIST ALBUM for a while … I want to RAISE THE BAR .. On the BEATS, PRODUCTION & OVERALL EXPERIENCE of FEMALE ALBUMS … this is going to be fun 🔥🔥
A significant amount of Iggy Azalea’s followers questioned why she chose to work with a man accused of physically harming a woman. Azalea posted a cryptic tweet on Friday afternoon that seemed to be a response to her online critics.
“You’re all very welcome to speak your opinion freely about me… just as long as we all have an understanding: you are having a monologue & not a discussion with me – because (respectfully) my bills remain paid without your two cents.💗🙇♀️☺️.”
Tory Lanez & Iggy Azalea’s Most Recent Projects Failed To Make The Top 50
Sorry 4 What dropped on September 30 of this year. According to HitsDailyDouble, Tory Lanez’s seventh album should debut near the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 chart. His previous effort, Alone at Prom, peaked at #59. Lanez has six Top 10 projects in total.
2021’s The End of an Era is Iggy Azalea’s most recent studio LP. That album failed to chart on the Billboard 200. Her discography also includes 2014’s The New Classic which peaked at #3 as well as 2019’s In My Defense. The latter project only spent one week on the Billboard 200 at #50.

i love you so much iggy the question is why work with a producer who shot another woman and her coworker?? I can not understand because you are talented and there is no shortage of people wanting to work with you
Music mogul Rick Ross is gearing up to sue a woman for using his trademark moniker, “Boss.”
According to TMZ, the rapper-turned-businessman wants Tiffany McIntosh to change the name of her event from “I’m the Biggest Boss Conference,” going down on Oct. 13 through Oct. 16, to something else. He said she is biting from songs like “The Boss” and “Push It,” using his already established brand, to build up hers.
He also believes it causes brand confusion with his “Boss Up Conference” that happened in September.
McIntosh’s event will also be star-studded with the likes Vivica Fox, Master P, and Romeo Miller.
The rapper said he would like to handle this outside of court but would require her to change the title and stop using his music to promote it.
The Florida native wanted McIntosh to give him a decision by Wednesday, October 5. However, sources say she has no intentions of changing anything and is set to go forward with her event.
Outside of a lawsuit, Ross has just brought back his Wingstop chicken sandwich.
He captioned, “Like a Boss, the @Wingstop Chicken Sandwich is back! Available in all 12 signature flavors right now 🔥, You know Rozay loves that Lemon Pepper 🍋🌶 What flavors are y’all rocking with.”
Despite seeming to go full steam ahead, the DA in the Young Thug/YSL RICO case has asked for a delay in the proceedings.
According to FOX 5, on Thursday, October 6th, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis filed a motion to pause the trial for “Go Crazy” rapper, his protégé Gunna and 26 other alleged gang members.
Willis asked for the delay because many of the defendants, 8 out of the 28, do not have lawyers to represent them.
Willis proposed that the case, slated to start on January 9th, 2023, be pushed back to March 27th, 2023.
She requested in the motion for “a continuance to the final week in March,” saying it “would protect the speedy trial rights of those who have asserted those rights, while also ensuring that the additional eight defendants have properly prepared appointed counsel.”
Willis continued to write that the prosecution is “concerned about the inconvenience and “trauma” of repeated testimony of witnesses who were the victims of violent gang crimes.”
A decision is still pending review, and a judge will decide if the extension can be offered.
