Master P Is Turning “Pain Into Passion” To Help Families Following His Daughter’s Death 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Master P has spoken of the devastating loss the Miller family suffered earlier this year when his beloved daughter Tytyana Miller passed away in May. 

The rapper initially revealed that her death was connected to her struggles with mental wellness and substance abuse and later confirmed the 29-year-old died from an accidental overdose. Since her passing, Master P has paid tribute to Tytyana during his live performances while celebrating her life and advocating for people battling addiction. 

During a recent interview with Gayle King, Master P for CBS Mornings, he discussed how the Miller family has coped with their loss and his dedication to helping other families in a similar position.  

“It’s hard,” Master P began. “Coming from poverty, you would think that you would outlive your kids and that was the mission I feel like, going to my daughter’s funeral, I feel like I went to my own funeral.” He also explained that he believed Tytyana was “getting better” having just left rehab.  

Master P On Transforming “Pain Into Passion”

“My sympathy go out to everybody that lost a child. I’m gonna turn my pain into passion. I’m gonna turn it into a purpose because I can’t get my daughter back. I love her and think about her every day, and it took me and my family to go through something that I just can’t stop thinking about, but I realize that I have to get out here and help and save other kids.” 

Despite supporting his daughter throughout her struggles with addiction, Master P feels like there was more he could have done for Tytyana.  

“My daughter had a lot of life left in her,” the record executive explained. “She was a happy woman that knew that tomorrow she could do something better.”  

Master P continued, “When I got that phone call I realized my daughter is never coming back, and that’s the heartbreaking thing about this. And that’s why I said, ‘Let me team up with NAMI [The National Alliance on Mental Illness], let me team up with ARJ Cares.’ I want to help people that look like us. We want to bring awareness to this. I’m going to get out here and save millions.”

A Rapper Named “Notorious Big1” Says His Name And Song Was Stolen – And He’s MAD

By: IllseedCategory: Rumors

The game is dirty. They are going hard at Puffy, and Biggie too by default. How real is this? I cannot do all this writing so I am going to cut and past something from the internet. Yes, lazy. it is also late. I am also tired. But, here is the situation in a nutshell. There was a rapper with the name Notorious Big1 and he had a reported song called “Big Daddy” that did zero damage. He was from Mississippi. This is a real song that used the same sample as “Juicy,” which was derived from the hit song “Juicy Fruit” by Mtume (RIP). Decades after the tragic end of Christopher Wallace, this song is making the rounds and the rapper is talking. Basically, the accusations are…he was ripped off.

So peep what I read online:

He went from Biggie Smalls to Big E. Smalls due to a lawsuit by Calvin Lockhart in 1992 then became Notorious BIG in 1993, the year Notorious B1 from Mississippi dropped his first and last single. B.I.G needed a name and a hit single and Puffy found both in Mississippi. Notice on the song in question, Biggie says “From the Mississippi down to the east coast”. Also notice B1 named his song Big Daddy…..Biggie named his alter ego Big Poppa. I know some of you can have s### under your noses and not smell it but that’s not going to change the fact that this is no coincidence, one similarity is one thing but several along with mentioning the mans State in the song in question is a bullseye. Biggie used Jeru The Damager flow pattern in the song he dissed him in while allowing Jeru’s good friend and producer Dj Premier produced and engineered the song unbeknownst to him until he heard a particular bar then Biggie finally told him. If you know hip hop you know the song/flow and story and would also know Biggie kept using that flow in other songs. In closing, Biggie only needed a name and a hit which he got from B1 and that was a normal practice and still is….Big is an amazing MC and this takes nothing away from that, he’s great without Juicy. But puffy stole an idea/names that came from B1 because he was desperate to win and it worked

Notorious B1 allegedly said:

“In 1993 i was signed to a small record label called Dragon Records in Gulfport Mississippi. I had a song that i wrote to Mtume called Juicy Fruit. I wrote the song to the actual record and it was called Big Daddy. Big Daddy was the lead single off the Mississippi Dough Boyz Album that was released in september 1993. It was released on the same day as Snoop Dog’s first album Doggystyle. The dough boyz album was made by two Gulfport rappers Tilidie and myself The Notorious Bigg One. (Notorious B1). Yeah I had the name and song first. I know it might be hard to believe but it is 100% the truth. We was on the radio first and in in the stores first. We sent packages to all the major Labels shopping for distribution. Just image my surprise when people started calling me saying they’ve just seen my video. We was trying to get the truth out back then but after B.i.g’s death i decided to leave it alone out of respect. I’m not fat anymore and a lot has changed but before i leave this b#### I want everybody to know the truth. I was the original Notorious Bigg One. #2Grams”

I wonder why we are bringing this up now? Dude seems very p#####.

Anyway, I am not mad at that. By the way, Pete Rock says he was the one that Brough “Juicy” to the Bad Boy camp. Maybe that’s why he was so upset when Diddy called Bobby Brown the “chocolate boy wonder” at the BET Awards.

Anyway, if you are thinking The Notorious Bigg One is a lie…think again. Here’s his product from authenticated sources.

Megan Thee Stallion & Big Sean Sued Over “Go Crazy” – Detroit Duo Claims It’s A Rip-Off

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Two men are suing Megan Thee Stallion and Big Sean for alleged copyright infringement.

According to Radar Online, Duawn Payne and Harrell James claim Megan Thee Stallion and Big Sean’s “Go Crazy” collaboration is “strikingly similar” to the Detroit duo’s song “Krazy.” Payne and James contend “Go Crazy” is a rip-off of their track, which dropped in 2012.

Payne (stage name Go Hard Major) and James (a.k.a. H Matic) released their song on ReverbNation. They also handed out CDs featuring the track and performed it at multiple nightclubs in Detroit.

Their lawsuit suggests Big Sean played a significant role in the supposed copyright infringement. Payne and James insinuate he came across the song at some point since he’s from Detroit.

“The sale of thousands of physical copies of CD’s featuring the Copyrighted Work on the streets of West Detroit and the parking lots of hip hop clubs in West Detroit frequented by [Big Sean] provide further access of the Copyrighted Work to Defendants,” the lawsuit states.

Megan Thee Stallion’s “Go Crazy” appears on her 2020 album Good News. J.R. Rotem produced the song, which features Big Sean and 2 Chainz.

Payne and James sent a cease and desist to Megan Thee Stallion and Big Sean in March. The Detroit duo is now seeking unspecified damages for copyright infringement.

‘Nope’ Is A Box Office Smash

By: Kershaw St. JawnsonCategory: News

Comedian-turned-Director Jordan Peele has made another box office smash with his latest film, “Nope,” striking gold again with actor Daniel Kaluuya.

This time, Kaluuya is joined by Keke Palmer and Steven Yeun in the UFO thriller that brought in $44 million in ticket sales, according to a statement of Sunday from Universal Pictures.

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the movie opened in 3,785 theaters across the United States and Canada and underperformed compared to his last in-theater release, “Us,” which grossed $71 million over its first-weekend debut. 

Both films owned their first weekend numbers coming in the #1 spot.

“Nope” is now $24 million away from recouping its production and marketing costs. The budget for this sci-fi film, skating around Octavia Butler’s Afrofuturism space, is almost triple the combined costs of both “Us” and “Get Us,” his breakout movie as a filmmaker.

Jim Orr, Universal’s president of domestic distribution, said, “It’s a great number. It’s amazing how broadly it’s playing too.”

“Jordan Peele crafted an incredible film,” Orr added. “And it is absolutely something that should be seen on the big screen.”

One expert said he needs more time to see the film’s success.

“An opening weekend for a Jordan Peele film is not the right metric. We have to see where it is a month from now,” Paul Dergarabedian, the senior media analyst for Comscore. “‘Nope’ could have solid, long-term playability as the word gets out. One need only look at ‘Elvis’ to see that a film doesn’t have to open huge to be a big success.”

Check out this weekend’s box office numbers.

1. Nope,” $44 million.

2. “Thor: Love and Thunder,” 22.1 million.

3. “Minions: The Rise of Gru,” $17.7 million.

4. “Where the Crawdads Sing,” $10.3 million.

5. “Top Gun: Maverick,” $10 million.

6. “Elvis,” $6.3 million.

7. “Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank,” $3.9 million.

8. “The Black Phone,” $3.5 million.

9. “Jurassic World Dominion,” $3 million.

10. “Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris,” $1.4 million.

‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ Trailer Reignites #RecastTChalla Conversation

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Marvel unveiled the trailer for its film Black Panther: Wakanda Forever on Saturday (July 23).

The teaser generated excitement for the upcoming sequel, but it also renewed discussions about Marvel’s decision to not recast T’Challa. Marvel opted to not hire a new actor to play the character following the death of Chadwick Boseman, who portrayed T’Challa a.k.a. Black Panther in multiple films.

#RecastTChalla became a trending topic on Twitter after the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever trailer premiered at the San Diego Comic-Con. Fans voiced concerns about the Marvel franchise continuing without T’Challa while others pushed back at the idea of someone replacing Chadwick Boseman.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever premieres in theaters on November 11. Cast member Lupita Nyong’o discussed the movie in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter over the weekend.

“To make this film against all odds is a powerful statement unto itself, and I am very proud that we did it,” she said. “It was very therapeutic. It restored a sense of hope for me in making it, and I think we’ve expanded the world of Wakanda in ways that will blow people’s minds — not just Wakanda, but the Black Panther world. It’s gonna blow people’s minds, and I just cannot wait until it’s not a secret anymore.”

Lil Wayne Addresses Uncle Bob’s Death

By: Kershaw St. JawnsonCategory: News

New Orleans native and father of many new rappers’ styles, Lil Wayne, has lost his dear “Uncle Bob,” the white police officer who saved his life when he shot himself as a child.

The Young Money musician-turned-executive took to social media to give a heartfelt tribute, noting that his hero, who rescued him after a failed suicide attempt at the age of 12, will now be reunited with his departed wife.

“Everything happens for a reason. I was dying when I met u at this very spot,” he said in an Instagram post of the house he once stayed at.

“U refused to let me die. Everything that doesn’t happen, doesn’t happen for a reason. That reason being you and faith. RIP Uncle Bob. Aunt Kathie been waiting for u. I’ll love & miss u both and live for us all,” he continued.

As reported by AllHipHop.com, Robert Hoobler, Uncle Bob’s real name, was found dead at his home on Friday, July 22.

“There was a bunch of black cops jumped over me when they saw me at that door, laying on the floor with that hole in my chest,” Lil Wayne said while reflecting on that day 27 years ago.

However, Hoobler took action to save the future rap star’s life. 

“Those Black cops jumped over me, and ran through the crib, and said, ‘We found the gun, we found this, we found that.’ He said, ‘I found this baby on this floor. I need to get to a hospital.’ He didn’t wait for an ambulance. He took his car. He made somebody drive it, and he made sure that I lived,” Lil Wayne said.

Uncle Bob was 65 when he died, and police have not disclosed the cause of his death.

T-Dubb O Talks Obama Meeting, Leading St. Louis Forward, Being A Revolutionary & New Music

By: Chuck Creekmur (@ChuckCreekmur)Category: Exclusives

T-Dubb-O has been known to say “I shook Obama’s hand with the same palm I sold crack with.” The line was a bar that speaks volumes to the impact the St. Louis, MO rapper has had since taking the main stage about 10 years ago. He came to national prominence for his community work, most notably in the uprising in Ferguson. Remember Mike Brown? That has not left him without critics.

“I think we did what we were supposed to do for our city. And we continue to do what we did for our city,” T-Dubb O said. “Some battle rappers have made jokes like I went outside to get attention. But what a lot of people don’t understand is I sacrificed a lot, leaving my house to go stand up for Black people.”

T-Dubb O is a front liner, unlike most of the activists that show up, justify funding and keep it moving. The revolutionary-in-training applies his ethics to his musical endeavors as well. AMG (Audacity Music Group), his budding label, is changing the narrative around artists in St. Louis. Nelly, Chingy or the St. Lunatics are typical conversation for those outside of the city. Inside of the city, T-Dubb O stands as one of the pillars creating strongholds of opportunity for the residents.

“When I’m focused on my artists, I’m focused on my artists. I’m not trying to figure out a way that I’m going to do with my next project or bring like to me,” he said. “I’m trying to make them elevate to be the greatest. The same energy that I put into myself, trying to be the greatest I put into them.”

Here, T-Dubbo and Chuck “Jigsaw” Creekmur have a conversation about everything, from his trips to The White House, to the oppressive forces in St. Louis, Black Lives Matter, to the rich, vibrant music coming out of his city.

“Talking to the police after my break-in, I learned that there was an on-going active investigation into home invasions and armed robberies targeting high profile people across Atlanta. I had heard of just a very few recent home robbery, but I didn’t know the extent of it all! I wanted these people caught!!” she stated. “They have caught some, but there are still more out there that are involved!”

— Get a metal door or frame

— Keep a charged prepaid phone in an accessible place for emergencies in case your phone lines are cute

These tips can be helpful and will help her protect herself and others in the future.

Bang Em Smurf Claims Eminem Was Ready To Bring The Smoke To Suge Knight

By: Kershaw St. JawnsonCategory: News

Queens native and former G-Unit member Bang Em Smurf has been talking a lot lately, detailing a time when he and Eminem almost killed disgraced music executive Suge Knight.

In an interview circulating the internet, he said once, while recording the music video with 50 Cent’s “In The Club” single, the Death Row founder pulled up and was ready to go. 

While it is not shocking that a known ruffian like Suge was ready for some beef, Bang Em Smurf said rap legend Eminem joined him — coming outside to see Knight in a bulletproof vest.

According to Smurf, he was getting a haircut on the opposite side from where the crew was when Sha Money XL told him that Suge had arrived on the set.

Bang Em Smurf said that once he was clear about what was happening, he ran back to his people.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kz1Dnpgafw&t=2s

Though ready to go to war, he said he was “star struck” because of Suge Knight’s legacy.

“I had to shake that off me and ran back like ‘I’m about to kill this n##ga,” Smurf said. “So I ran inside and said, ‘Yo, Suge outside. What you want me to do? Blow his head off?”

Smurf felt confident about stepping to the Cali Blood because he was there with not just his G-Unit guys but his Connecticut folk and the Shadyville guys.

The rapper said that in his mind, he already had his motive planned out, figuring he might only get a few years if he killed the Death Row Records founder. 

Smurf planned to tell authorities that he was afraid for his life because of Suge’s reputation of being a gang member and using violence to intimidate people.

“I know if I killed him,” he rationalized.,”I would have been like five years. That’s nothing, and I would have been played like I was scared for my life.”

However, Smurf says, when he ran up to 50 Cent to get the green light, the Get Rich or Die Tryin’ rapper was cool on the drama, telling him with a laugh to “hold it down.” 

For Smurf, holding it down meant not shooting him but getting a four-by-four piece of wood. 50 told him to put that down too.

Bang Em Smurf returned to where Suge Knight was, and he said to him, “What’s popping?”

The real Slim Shady was beside him, ready to take it there. Smurf says, “Dre wasn’t outside. 50 wasn’t outside. But Eminem was outside.”

Suge Knight, surrounded by Mexicans, is alleged to have taken a few puffs from his cigar and then dropped it on the floor. 

Smurf alleges the Mexicans were no help because they were intimidated by the flood of East coasters with firearms protecting their boss, 50 Cent.

And then it was over. Suge and his Mexican posse left, and the group went back to filming the video.

Did Saweetie Shade Lil Baby For His Loose Lips?

By: IllseedCategory: Rumors

Saweetie?

Saweetie is aggravated! Now, we have to admit that the freestyle is not the best, but it feeds directly into the rumors that we’ve been hearing in the recent past. She addresses, in this wrap at rolling loud, the rumors that she and Lil Baby were a thing for a second.

Lil Baby might’ve gotten a little over excited when they started to tangle a little bit. In the freestyle, she basically says that $100,000 is late. She also announces that she’s making quite a bit more money than that, afford to be a big deal. Reportedly, little baby got overly excited when she FaceTime Tim straight up naked. She said he started running his mouth far too soon and miss understood his boss tendencies. She said he’s more of a groupie than anything.

Now, we have to admit she did not say his name. So maybe it is not about him. Maybe it’s about a random guy. Kind of like the guy that she picked in the crowd at rolling loud. That guy is on cloud nine right now! Anyway, they would’ve been a cute little couple but he messed that up I guess. At least label mate Quavo wasn’t tripping.

A post shared by Onsite! (@its_onsite)

He should get some credit because he did shoot down those rumors!

Then there is is the issue of the actual freestyle. There has been a lot of critique about how wack or dope the freestyle is. I am not looking to get my fill of lyricism from Saweetie anyway. If I want lyrics, I am looking at a bunch of rappers that are not on the pop charts. So…there’s that. Stay poppin’ Saweetie The Sweetie!

Bobby Shmurda Announces Release Date For First Post-Prison EP ‘Bodboy’

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

Brooklyn-raised rhymer Bobby Shmurda is no longer under the Epic Records umbrella. Shmurda is now ready to release a musical body of work as an independent artist.

Sixteen months after Bobby Shmurda left prison, the 27-year-old rapper announces the release date for Bodboy. The 9-track EP will come out on August 5 via Shmurda’s GS9 label in partnership with ONErpm.

Bobby Shmurda saw his music career halted in 2014 after New York prosecutors indicted him on various crimes, including murder and drug dealing. The man born Ackquille Pollard eventually pled guilty to conspiracy and weapons charges.

A Manhattan Supreme Court judge sentenced Pollard to seven years in state prison and five years post-release supervision. Quavo of the Migos and other members of the Hip Hop community helped celebrate Bobby Shmurda coming home in February 2021.

Since exiting the Clinton Correctional Facility last year, Shmurda dropped songs such as “No Time for Sleep (Freestyle)” and “Shmoney” featuring Quavo and Rowdy Rebel. He also showed up on “Tata (Remix)” by Eladio Carrión.

Bobby Shmurda Is Back As A Hoochie Daddy

Bobby Shmurda recently presented the official music video for his “Hoochie Daddy” single. The modern-day take on 2 Live Crew’s “Hoochie Mama” from the Friday movie soundtrack in 1995 will live on Smurda’s Bodboy.

2014’s “Hot N*gga” is the biggest hit of Bobby Shmurda’s career. The Jahlil Beats-produced track earned Shmurda a 5x-Platinum plaque from the Recording Industry Association of America on the day of his release from prison.

“Hot N*gga” peaked at #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song’s home project, Shmurda She Wrote, is a Gold-certified EP. Shmurda also has RIAA Awards for “Bobby B####” (Platinum) and Rowdy Rebel’s “Computers” (Gold).

Fellow GS9 crew member Rowdy Rebel will appear on Bobby Shmurda’s Bodboy EP. Nigerian-American rapper Fat Tony is also listed as a guest feature for the upcoming project. Check out the Bodboy tracklist and cover art below.

Doja Cat Goes Viral With “Sex Goddess” Butt Tattoo

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

Doja Cat had been relatively quiet on Instagram in recent days. The “Kiss Me More” hitmaker returned to the social networking platform to show off her new body art.

Over the weekend, Doja shared a photo that featured a new “sex goddess” image on her butt cheek. Her followers flooded the post with likes and comments about the picture.

“First tattoo ever 7/23/22. I love it 🙏💕,” wrote Doja Cat in the Instagram caption. A second, close-up shot led many IG users to question if the rapper/singer’s tattoo is actually removable.

Regardless of its durability, Doja’s tatt garnered a lot of attention online. Her “sex goddess” Instagram post collected more than 3 million likes and nearly 14,000 comments.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CgYHHXCrQR9/

2022 has been a strong year for Doja Cat so far. She picked up a Grammy Award at his year’s ceremony in April. “Kiss Me More” featuring SZA won Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.

Additionally, Billboard honored Doja Cat with the 2022 Powerhouse Award at the outlet’s Women in Music event. She also took home multiple trophies at the 2022 Billboard Music Awards, including Top R&B Artist and Top R&B Album.

Doja Cat earned a Gold plaque this year for her “Freaky Deaky” collaboration with Tyga. The Los Angeles-bred musician also earned another Top 40 hit with “Vegas” from the Elvis: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack.

However, Doja Cat did receive some backlash from Stranger Things loyalists this year. Doja reportedly lost around 200,000 followers after publicly calling out 17-year-old Stranger Things star Noah Schnapp for posting her DMs with him on TikTok.

Is there new R&B beef brewing again? “Worth It” hitmaker YK Osiris had some words for Tory Lanez after the Canadian singer apparently ridiculed Osiris on social media.

YK Osiris dropped his new single “Be My Girl” on Friday, July 22. According to the 23-year-old Jacksonville native, Tory Lanez posted a disparaging comment about the song on social media.

In response, YK Osiris addressed Tory Lanez on Instagram Stories. After referring to Lanez as a “G.O.A.T.” and admitting he looks up to him, the Def Jam recording artist called out his “Worth It (Remix)” collaborator.

YK Osiris Says People In The Music Industry Are Fake

“So let’s get it understood, what I don’t f### with is you under my posts laughing and giggling at my art.

Special debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200 with 69,000 first-week units. The 12-track album is also the highest-charting album released by a woman in 2022.

Previously, Lizzo’s Cuz I Love You peaked at #4 in 2019. That project opened at #6 on the Billboard 200 with 41,000 album-equivalent units, giving Lizzo her first charting album.

Part of the early commercial success of Special stems from Lizzo’s “About Damn Time” song. The album’s official lead single has already made it to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

“WE BEAT THE PROJECTIONS B####!!! MY HIGHEST EVER CHARTING ALBUM YET!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you for loving #special,” tweeted Lizzo on Sunday afternoon.

Bad Bunny blocked Lizzo’s Special from reaching the Billboard 200’s pole position. The Puerto Rican rapper has maintained a chock hold on the album rankings for several weeks.

Un Verano Sin Ti added another 103,000 units to its total this week. Bad Bunny’s fourth LP has earned over 100,000 units in its first 11 weeks on the chart. Un Verano Sin Ti has held the top spot six times.

Elsewhere on the latest Billboard 200, Drake’s Honestly, Nevermind rose one slot to #5. Future’s I Never Liked You also climbed one position from #7 to #6. Both Hip Hop projects spent a week at #1.

R&B vocalist Brent Faiyaz saw his Wasteland album drop seven spots to #9. Lil Durk’s former Billboard 200 chart-topper, 7220, slipped from #8 to #10 on the most recent rankings. 7220 clocked in two weeks at #1 in 2022.

The Internet Drags Logan Paul For His Review Of Jordan Peele’s ‘Nope’

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

The latest horror movie from filmmaker Jordan Peele is the #1 movie in America this week. While the motion picture garnered positive reactions from film critics and audience members, Logan Paul is not a fan.

Logan Paul decided to share his thoughts about Nope on his Twitter page. The WWE wrestler opened by praising Jordan Peele (Get Out) and lead actress Keke Palmer (Hustlers).

“NOPE is one of the worst movies I’ve seen in a long time. I love Jordan Peele and Keke Palmer can act her ass off, but this movie is objectively slow and confusing with stretched themes that don’t justify the pace,” tweeted Paul.

He ended his 13-tweet thread by posting, “I love Peele, the VFX & aesthetic. But my thesis is this: I can feel him attempting to recreate the shock from Get Out and Us. Mystery, violent allure & cinematic choices made for the sake of reaction instead of [a] legitimate contribution to the storyline killed this movie for me.”

People Bring Up Logan Paul’s Own Poor-Received Filmography

Many other Twitter users reacted to Paul’s criticism about Nope. The topic became so popular that the 27-year-old YouTuber’s name became a trending topic on the platform as other people slammed Paul for his comments.

One Twitter user responded, “So you’re telling me the movie’s very clear commentary on spectacle (and the lengths people will go to capture it) was totally missed by Logan Paul, the guy that vlogged himself and his friends laughing at a dead body in the Aokigahara forest in Japan. The irony is beyond cosmic.”

Another person wrote, “Every question that Logan Paul asked is explained in the movie. Maybe people look at films differently or he spent [too] much time questioning everything while watching so it distracted them from actually gathering the answers to his questions.”

Other individuals pointed out that Logan Paul’s own filmography mostly includes critically-panned movies such as The Thinning and Valley Girl. Meanwhile, Nope brought in $44 million at the domestic box office on its opening weekend.

By: London JennnCategory: News

Hitman Holla just shook up the battle rap culture with an exciting announcement that could see the sport catapulted to the mainstream. 

The Wild N’ Out star, a legendary battle rapper in his own right, took to Twitter last week (Jul 21.), teasing a “big announcement.” 

Battle rap fans didn’t have too long to wait for the big reveal as Hitman Holla shared his plans the following day. He wasn’t capping when he said he had something big lined up for the culture, unveiling his plans for a battle rap reality TV show with a $100,000 prize.  

“I jus signed a TV deal.. I got my own battle rap tv show coming,” Hitman penned on Friday. “12 battlers in a Mansion for 6weeks.. last man standing wins $100,000 .. having live auditions in 4 major cities in August. 

He also asked his followers for suggestions on potential housemates for the show, which begins shooting later this year. “Tag who y’all think should be on tv and in the house !! we Start filming in October.. 😈” Hitman Holla added. 

Hitman Holla Wants To Break New Talent In Battle Rap

Things began quickly taking shape, and Hitman returned on Sunday to gather more feedback from his fans. From his questions, it appears Hitman Holla wants to spotlight new talent, although he wants as much feedback as possible.  

“Question .. should it be 12 fresh faces in the house .. or a mixture of low tier along wit the new names? 1 or 2 mid tier in the mix? I want y’all opinion I wanna make this show the best thing on TV! Talk to me? 

He also held a Twitter Spaces discussion, sharing more details about the $100,000 tournament. He revealed he’s holding auditions in his New York City, L.A., Houston, and his home city of St. Louis.  

However, Hitman Holla is conscious that similar ventures in the past, like Eminem’s Total Slaughter in 2014, lacked the community’s involvement and didn’t have an authentic battle rap feel. He said he will include the community throughout the tournament, with well-known faces coming on to represent. Media platform and battler Di Da Hennyman captured the entire conversation. Listen to it here.  

Furthermore, as Let’s Talk Battle Rap reported, “Hitman Holla has big plans for the future,” with a lew league following the tournament.

Kylie Jenner & Travis Scott Wedding Rumors

A rumor circulated earlier in the week that the pair were planning a secret wedding after an online account claiming to be Kourtney Kardashian’s son Mason claimed that Kylie recently celebrated a bridal party.  

“Kylie is getting married and … that’s why she’s the only one wearing white!!!” the fake account shared.  

However, the eldest Kardashian sister swiftly shut down the claims stating her son was not responsible for the post.  

“Hello everyone, hope it is a beautiful Thursday,” she began. “After months and months of thinking you would all know that is NOT Mason on these fake accounts, some of you don’t. So I will spell it out clearly : that is NOT Mason on these fake social media accounts talking about our family.” 

However, Kylie’s recent online posts and comments have left fans speculating that the couple is expecting another baby. The couple already has two children together; four-year-old daughter Stormi and five-month-old son Wolf. 

Travis Scott took to Instagram on Sunday posting a snap of his arrival back in New York following his performance at Rolling Loud Miami this weekend. But it was Kylie Jenner’s response in the comment section that had the rumor mill whipped into a frenzy.

She left a flirty comment which included a possible hint she could be pregnant, responding with an emoji of a smiley face with tongue out and several of a pregnant brunette rubbing her belly. 

Fans in the comment section took Kylie’s response to mean she was pregnant and reacted with excitement. Travis also left his own reply, suggesting he was rushing to see his boo.  

Meanwhile, earlier this month, the loved-up couple shared a selfie which could be another clue that new arrival is due, with Travis lovingly placing his hand on Kylie’s stomach.
