DJ Khaled kept his distance from last year’s tension between Drake, Rick Ross and Future, telling Fat Joe on the “Joe & Jada” podcast that he refuses to get involved when his longtime collaborators are at odds.
“I love Drake, I love [Rick] Ross, I love Future,” Khaled said on the latest episode of the podcast. “What it feel like is that I didn’t get in that energy. There’s two energies I’m not gonna get in: hate.”
The veteran producer, known for his chart-topping collaborations with all three rappers, made it clear that loyalty doesn’t mean taking sides.
“Those are my brothers. You can question my friendship. How? It’s impossible,” he said.
Khaled, who’s built a career on bringing artists together, said the beefs were less about deep-rooted issues and more about miscommunication.
“A lot of this s### is a misunderstanding and a lot of not [communicating]. And that’s what it be about,” he explained. “When it comes down to DJ Khaled, I’m the one that’s gone’ try to fix it.”
He added, “I love my brothers and my brothers know that. I would love to squash it.”

Khaled has a history of stepping in when things get tense. Years ago, Young Jeezy credited him with helping resolve his feud with Rick Ross, which eventually led to their collaboration on “War Ready.”
While he’s steering clear of the current drama, Khaled is focused on his upcoming album Aalam of God.
He’s already dropped two tracks—one with Post Malone and NBA YoungBoy, and another featuring a lineup of dancehall artists.
Sexyy Red lit up the Crypto.com Arena stage earlier this week during NBA YoungBoy’s “Make America Slime Again Tour” stop in Los Angeles, then lit up Instagram with a post that had people doing double takes.
The St. Louis rapper joined YoungBoy for a surprise appearance during the second night of his sold-out LA shows, delivering crowd-favorite tracks like “Pound Town” and “F My Baby Daddy” to a packed house.
But it was what happened after the show that had social media buzzing.
Red posted a series of photos with YoungBoy and added a caption that sent her followers into a frenzy: “Get me pregnant… who tf just said dat??”
The comment section lit up with jokes and warnings, referencing YoungBoy’s famously large family.
“aht aht you finna b the 12th bm,” one person wrote. Another added, “Don’t do it you gone be BM 35.” A third chimed in, “she serious that’s what make it funnier.”
YoungBoy, 25, has fathered at least 11 children with multiple women, a detail his followers never let him forget. But that didn’t stop Red from stirring the pot with her cheeky caption.
This tour marks a major return for YoungBoy, who is back on the road following his early release from federal prison in March.
He had been serving a 23-month sentence after being convicted of being a felon in possession of a firearm, a case that stemmed from a 2020 arrest.
His legal troubles took a dramatic turn when former President Trump granted him a full pardon, ending his supervised release. Though his original release date was set for July, his legal team secured his freedom four months ahead of schedule.
Jon B is a rarity: a white artist in R&B who never compromised his craft for pop crossover. He stepped away from album-making for more than a decade to prioritize family, and now, returning to a transformed music landscape, he rises like a phoenix. Born Jonathan David Buck, Jon B is back with Waiting on You, a set steeped in classic soul. He brings along vibrant collaborators—Rick Ross, Tank, and Alex Isley—but the album, start to finish, is unmistakably Jon B.
AllHipHop sat down with the R&B mainstay at WonWorld Studios for a conversation that feels both like a reunion and a reset. Fresh off the release of his album Waiting on You, Jon is in classic form—writer, producer, vocalist—reaffirming the warm, soul-first sound that made Bonafide a touchstone in 1995 and still packs venues today.
In this candid talk, the singer revisits a pivotal era when Hip-Hop and R&B learned to share the same room, revealing how his studio session with Tupac Shakur, which turned out to be ‘Pac’s final recorded verse, helped push the line authentically. He salutes mentors and peers (Babyface, Nas, Tank, Donell Jones, Rick Ross) and spotlights rising collaborator Alex Isley, whose tone he calls timeless.
Beyond credits, Jon centers authenticity. He was reared in a classical music household with a lifetime steeped in Black music culture as well as an 18-year marriage that grounds the star between sold-out weekends and school-day routines. Jon B makes a powerful case for R&B that grows up without growing dull. Watch the full interview below or some of the highlights in the edited transcript.
Tupac: The Studio, The Blessing, The Last Verse
Jon B: “Hip-hop and R&B weren’t really fused yet. We didn’t give people a choice…‘take it or leave it.’ Tupac being on the record changed everybody’s mind.”
In the lab with Pac: “We were in the studio two weeks before he went to Vegas, three or four hours in and we were already halfway done. As tough as his persona was, Pac was the nicest, most diligent worker. He was cutting another song in the next room while working on mine.”
Afeni’s green light: “I was reluctant to put it out after he died, didn’t want to exploit my man. Afeni Shakur told me, ‘My son loved that song. He wanted it to come out.’ That’s what made me release it.”
Creative push: “I’d drift from the melody and Pac would lock me in, ‘Nah, it goes like this…’ He coached and produced me too.”
Babyface & The 18-Year-Old Major-Label Run
Jon B: “Babyface was and is a mentor—vocally and musically. Signing to Yab Yum Entertainment with Tracy Edmonds opened the door to Epic Records. I was 18 walking into Sony like, ‘Whoa’…publishing deal, record deal, Learjet flights to New York.”
Michael Jackson: Remix + Phone Call
Jon B: “I remixed ‘You Are Not Alone’—they didn’t ask many people. Michael called the studio: ‘I love it—it’s different from the original and I like it.’ Later I shook his hand at the BRITs. He’s the goat of goats—my first favorite artist.”
Nas Pulled Up to the House: “Finer Things”
Jon B: “Nas came to my spot—we’re playing pool, chilling. I play him the beat. He goes, ‘That’s some male Sade—smooth. I can rock over that.’ He wrote the song twice. First version was dope; he said, ‘I hate it, I’ll redo it.’ The second time, he asked for names, cars, visuals—turned it cinematic.”
“If I was your man, your knowledge would expand till we both are equal… There’s three things on my list… Number one, you got to be real… Number two, be who you are… Number three, give me peace and I’ll show you the world.” —Nas on “Finer Things” as recited by Jon B
Authenticity, Race, and Kicking Down Doors
Jon B: “Early on my complexion was a challenge, people made jokes. I didn’t see other artists in my lane getting that. I feel like I knocked down walls so the next man didn’t have to. Before there was a Justin Timberlake or Robin Thicke, I’d already dropped three R&B albums with platinum singles. This isn’t dress-up. I’ve lived R&B and Hip-Hop since junior high.”
The New Album: Classic Soul with Heavy Friends
Jon B: “Waiting on You is me bringing it back to what you know me for. Guests include Rick Ross, Donell Jones, Tank, and Alex Isley (Ernie Isley’s daughter).
Tank pulled up to my studio. I asked which verse he wanted—he said, ‘You bodied those. Let me put a bridge on it.’ Then he gave it the bridge of life-piano, strings-uplifted the record. Alex has this classic, Sade-esque subtlety but her own jazziness. She heard a joint and cut it exactly as I wrote it. That’s the best compliment to a songwriter.”
Marriage, Family, and the Business That Actually Works
Jon B: “I’ve been married 18 years—two daughters (18 and 11). My wife is my manager—clothes, videos, bookings. If it wasn’t for her, this might not be the same interview. We keep it classy, no reality shows, but we did our first magazine cover together and hit Sherri and Tamron Hall to celebrate our 18th. Real talk: a lot of rappers managed by their wives are the ones doing well. Corporations can take 20% and not really pull for you. Your wife will, because it’s her household too.”
30 Years In—And Still Selling Out
Jon B: “Thirty years since Bonafide—shows are sold out, people singing album cuts that weren’t singles. I’m going to sing my heart out until I can’t. The celebration continues.”
August Alsina shut down grooming accusations and confirmed his relationship with rumored boyfriend Zu, after a photo post sparked backlash over their age gap and timeline.
The New Orleans native, who turns 33 later this month, faced criticism online after hinting he and Zu have been together for nearly five years. That detail led social media users to question when the relationship began, prompting Zu to directly address the speculation.
“I’m a grown ass man, with his own mind and free will,” Zu wrote in a lengthy Notes app message shared to social media. “I met August when I was already of age, an adult. Aug didn’t even know me when I was 16 or 17…not sure where that came from.”
He confirmed their romantic relationship, adding, “Yea there’s a slight age difference but y’all pick and chooses who to judge when it comes to that. We will have known each other for 5 years toward the end of the year, so he’s speaking in future terms because that’s where we plan to make it.” He ended the post with, “Hope this clears up any confusion.”
But the internet didn’t quiet down.
One user commented, “‘August is my boyfriend’ gone head and clear the AIR for anyone confused.”
Others remained skeptical, questioning the maturity gap and timing.
One critic wrote, “it really doesn’t babe regardless if he met you at 18 or 19 you weren’t grown and he was grown as the f###.”
Zu clapped back, “Awwwe cry me a river.”
The exchange continued with the critic responding, “i’m not sad i wasn’t groomed or dating a predator i like people in my age group.”
Zu replied, “Everybody entitled to the opinion, ik what it is..and I’m living the greatest life.”
August Alsina Weighs In Following Backlash
Another user added, “This don’t clear up anything. If anything makes y’all sound more guilty.”
Alsina didn’t stay silent. He fired back in a separate post, writing, “Guilty? This word implies that you thought yall held some sort of court or dominion over two grown ass people to be judged for some sort of outcome…. The level of delusion and narcissism yall live in is psychotic! Yall don’t even hold authority in your own life… let alone, MINE! Heal & pay ya rent family!”
He also revealed, “Zu lied to me about how old he was when we first clicked up. Granted, he was over 18… but the fact still remains. & I found out later, upon meeting the family.”
Alsina dismissed the “predator” label and made it clear that Zu is with him by choice. “Play somewhere, where it’s safe,” he added, telling critics to stay out of their relationship.
Donald Trump’s hair and health are the internet’s latest obsession and the theories are wilder than ever.
The internet has been set ruminating over speculation after new photos of the former president surfaced, showing him looking noticeably different. Social media wasted no time letting the jokes fly. Comments like “Where is his hair?,” “That is not a healthy man,” and “Grim Reaper do your thing” spread like wildfire, making Trump the reluctant star of another viral storm.
Trump disappeared from public view for a few days, which only created more conspiracy. When he finally popped back up, the pictures didn’t do him any favors. His hair appeared thinner. Some even said that wig is gone! Axnd that familiar orange glow seemed dimmer than usual. The hat he wore looked tight enough to be covering something. Some of the comments I saw wondered if Trumpy had quietly gone bald.
I know you heard this next rumor. A lot of folks online are convinced he’s dealing with some kind of health crisis. His hand, which has been photographed a lot, looks like it has a recurring growth. Theories are running laps around the truth, which we do not know. They go from minor illness to something far more serious. One extreme MAGA commented, “Cut that hand off, damn it!” They want to save the president. A lot of people do not want that.
The Trump doppelgänger theory made its way back to the front. Some claim the man seen on the golf course yesterday wasn’t him at all, just a stand-in double keeping up appearances while the real Trump rests. The man is almost 80. Those naps get longer and longer…until the big nap.
Seriously, the timing couldn’t be worse. While the world deals with mass shootings, wars and global instability, Trump’s priority seemed to be hitting the golf course. Is there something we should know?
The first thing I saw was, “He’s not on ‘roids anymore.” The internet can be a terrible place. So began my trip to find the truth in the rumors.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson traded in his normally giant physique for a leaner look at the Venice Film Festival. Like the internet dark places I peruse, audiences were stunned. The 53-year-old wrestler-turned-actor slimmed-down for his role as MMA legend Mark Kerr in the new film “The Smashing Machine.”
The transformation was like a shot across the world. Somehow, I think it was apart of the marketing of this movie. I had not heard of it until now. Also, it could be his run and being taken seriously as a thespian. At Saturday’s Miu Miu Women’s Tales event, The Rock stepped out in a blue button-up and black trouser. He has not looked like this in decades. He was joined by co-star Emily Blunt, who plays Kerr’s ex-wife, Dawn Staples.
Social media immediately started calling him “The Pebble.” Honestly, I think the jokes are corny, because “The Rock” is still a big dude. I am sure he could bust a couple skulls if needed. But that’s another story.
The film tells the story of Kerr’s rise in UFC and MMA and his struggles with prescription drug addiction. But according to Johnson, the story cuts deeper than cage fights.
At a Monday press conference, Johnson opened up about taking on the most challenging role of his career. “When you’re in Hollywood — as we all know, it had become about box office. And you chase the box office, and the box office can be very loud and it can become very resounding and it can push you into a category and into a corner,” he said.
“I just had this burning desire and voice that was saying, ‘What if there is more and what if I can?’” Johnson continued. “Sometimes it takes people that who you love and respect, like Emily and Benny, to say that you can.”
He admitted the role forced him to confront questions he’d avoided. “I looked around a few years ago and I started to think, you know, am I living my dream or am I living other people’s dreams? You come to that recognition and I think you can either fall in line — ‘Well, it’s status quo, things are good, I don’t want to rock the boat’ — or go, I want to live my dreams now and do what I wanna do and tap into the stuff that I want to tap into.”
This reminds me of Sly Stallone in “Copland.” That was a good movie but did not turn him into that heavy actor he sought to be. Hopefully The Rock gets some grace.
“I’ve been scared to go deep and intense and raw until now, until I had this opportunity,” he said at the press conference. Dame Dash would pause him, but we’re going to let it slide.
“The Smashing Machine” is set to hit theaters Oct. 3.
Damon Dash may soon see more than his money on the line—his personal story and image could be up for grabs in his ongoing bankruptcy case in Florida.
Attorneys for some of Dash’s creditors argue that the former Roc-A-Fella Records executive failed to disclose his “life rights” in his Chapter 7 filing, claiming those rights could be sold to help pay off more than $20 million in debts.
The legal team states that Dash’s public persona and career history possess significant commercial value, particularly given his ties to Jay-Z and the legacy of Roc-A-Fella.
“The debtor has failed to disclose his life story rights,” Brown wrote in the filing, adding that Dash’s statements about a biopic based on his life prove he knows the rights exist and that they hold value.
Brown pointed to Dash’s public comments about developing a film based on his life, referencing 2022 media coverage about a potential Roc-A-Fella movie.
He claims Damon Dash intentionally left out these rights from his asset list, which would make them eligible for liquidation.
The filing also accuses Dash of listing a UPS Store mailbox instead of his actual residence and failing to report business interests already seized by the U.S. Marshal for public auction.
“Debtor’s bankruptcy filing is a transparent attempt to frustrate the collection of final judgments,” Brown stated, comparing Dash’s case to that of Alex Jones, whose defamation-related debts were also ruled non-dischargeable in bankruptcy court in a billion-dollar lawsuit brought by victims of
Brown emphasized that the automatic stay triggered by the bankruptcy filing does not prevent the auction of Dash’s corporate assets already in government custody.
If the court agrees, Damon Dash could lose control over how his own story is told.
Lil Nas X is undergoing inpatient treatment at a facility outside California as he navigates felony charges tied to a bizarre early morning incident in Los Angeles.
The 26-year-old rapper, whose legal name is Montero Hill, appeared in court Monday via his legal team, who confirmed he is currently receiving care out of state.
Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Shellie Samuels approved a change to his release terms, allowing him to remain in treatment while awaiting trial.
“Defendant is allowed to remain out of state as long as he remains in treatment,” Judge Samuels said, according to Rolling Stone. The court sealed the specifics of Lil Nas X’s care. His next hearing is scheduled for November.
Prosecutors say the rap star resisted arrest and injured three officers during the encounter. He now faces three felony counts of battery on a police officer and one felony count of resisting an executive officer. If convicted, he could serve up to five years in prison.
Lil Nas X’s high-powered attorney, Drew Findling, addressed the rapper’s condition outside the courtroom.
“You heard the ‘treatment’ word. We’re doing what is best for Montero from a personal standpoint and a professional standpoint, but most importantly, for his well-being,” Findling said. “He is surrounded by an amazing family, an amazing team of people that care about him and love him. And we’re just addressing those issues, it’s really as simple as that.”
Findling added, “He’s had a great life, and he’ll continue to have a great life.”
Lil Nas X pleaded not guilty on August 25 and was released after posting $75,000 bail. Authorities initially took him to a hospital for a suspected overdose before transferring him to jail.
Following his release, Hill posted a message on Instagram Stories: “Your girl is gonna be OK, y’all,” he said. “OK? She’s gonna be all right. S###.”
He laughed and added, “That was f###### terrifying. That was terrifying. That was a terrifying last four days. But your girl is gonna be all right.”
Lil Nas X became a global star in 2019 with “Old Town Road,” which spent 19 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The viral hit earned him two Grammy Awards and launched a career defined by bold visuals and LGBTQ+ advocacy.
His debut album, Montero, released in 2021, featured hits such as “Industry Baby” and “That’s What I Want.” Hill has also won multiple Billboard and MTV Video Music Awards.
“We all have breakdowns every now and then, but the difference is, yours get played out in the public eye,” Robert Stafford said. “Hopefully, this is a turning point in his mental stability,” he said. “Sometimes God will take you through your worst moment to give you your best moment.”
Tyler Robinson was identified through DNA evidence as the suspect in the fatal shooting of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University, according to FBI Director Kash Patel, who spoke Monday (September 15) on Fox News.
Robinson, 22, was arrested and booked into Utah County Jail on charges including aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm causing serious injury and obstruction of justice. He’s expected to be formally charged Tuesday (September 16). Authorities haven’t confirmed whether he has legal representation.
Patel said DNA matching Robinson was discovered on a towel allegedly wrapped around the firearm used in the shooting and on a screwdriver found on a nearby rooftop. Both items were recovered close to the crime scene.
“I can report today that the DNA hits from the towel that was wrapped around the firearm and the DNA on the screwdriver are positively processed for the suspect in custody,” Patel said.
The firearm itself, a Mauser bolt-action rifle, is still undergoing forensic analysis at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives facility in Maryland.
According to Patel, Robinson’s alleged motive was political. “His family has collectively told investigators that he subscribed to left-wing ideology, and even more so in these last couple of years, and he had a text message exchange — he, the suspect, with another individual — in which he claimed that he had an opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk, and he was going to do it because of his hatred for what Charlie stood for,” Patel said.
The rifle was reportedly found near bullet casings etched with messages, including one that read, “Hey fascist! Catch!”
Patel said he and a team of FBI agents personally walked the crime scene to gather evidence and confirmed the DNA findings.
The FBI director also addressed criticism over his early announcement that a “subject” was in custody, a statement made before charges were filed. “The job of the FBI is not just to manhunt the actual suspect who did the killing, or suspects, but it’s also to eliminate targets and eliminate subjects who are not involved in the process, and that’s what we were doing,” he said. “Could I have worded it a little better in the heat of the moment? Sure. But do I regret putting it out? Absolutely not.”
Patel dismissed reports of tension with local law enforcement but acknowledged he was frustrated by delays in receiving investigative materials. “The photos were produced, they just weren’t produced in a timely fashion that I felt was appropriate for an investigation of this magnitude. So I came in and I accelerated that process,” he said.
Relatives and neighbors described Robinson as a “squeaky clean” and “considerate” young man from suburban Utah who had recently become politically active.
Saweetie spoke about the downside of being attractive in the entertainment world, insisting her looks have often worked against her, calling it “pretty punishment.”
“They were like they talk about pretty privilege but don’t talk about pretty punishment,” Saweetie told Nessa Diab on Hot 97’s Nessa On Air. “There’s been so many times, I’ve just been counted out. And I know that it’s behind animosity. I know it’s because of a hidden agenda. But it makes me work harder.”
The term “pretty punishment” refers to the idea that while beauty may open doors, it can also lead to resentment and doubt. Saweetie, born Diamonté Harper, said she’s dealt with this kind of pushback for most of her life.
“There’s been so many times I’ve just been counted out, and I know that it’s behind animosity,” she said. “I know it’s because of a hidden agenda, but it makes me work harder. But this has happened my whole life.”
Since her 2017 viral hit “Icy Grl,” Saweetie has faced criticism about her skills as a rapper. Some online critics have dismissed her success as being based more on appearance than talent.
Comments on social media after the interview included, “You can’t rap babe…hope this helps,” and “Sweetie you are beautiful but your music is terrible baby.”
This isn’t the first time Saweetie has addressed the issue. In a 2021 interview with Power 106, she said pretty privilege “wasn’t a privilege” for her, adding that people often assume attractive women don’t work hard.
Despite the criticism, Saweetie has kept her momentum.
She’s launched multiple business ventures, collaborated with top artists and stepped into acting with a role on Starz’s BMF.
She recently dropped her EP HELLA PRESSURE and is still working on her long-awaited debut album, Pretty B#### Music.
Jermaine Dupri isn’t letting the internet write the final word on his past with Janet Jackson, flipping the long-running narrative that he “fumbled” the pop icon after their seven-year relationship.
“I don’t know what a fumble is, though,” Dupri said during a recent sit-down with Hot 97’s Nessa. “I be trying to figure out why y’all don’t say she fumbled me.”
The Grammy-winning producer dated Jackson from 2002 to 2009. Their relationship ended amid cheating rumors, but Dupri made it clear he doesn’t see himself as the one who dropped the ball.
“I’m not something that you just let roll down the street,” he said. “I don’t look at it like that. I look at it like it’s a relationship. We was together for eight years.”
Dupri also recalled an awkward moment in 2023 when Jackson brought him onstage during her “Together Again” tour stop in Atlanta.
“She ain’t even actually talk to me when she came out,” he said. “I was trying to get her to talk, but she was walking away.”
The two music heavyweights first connected backstage at one of Jackson’s shows in 2002.
Dupri has said he initially kept things professional to avoid mixing business with romance.
Their breakup, confirmed in 2009, came after Jackson reportedly discovered Dupri had been unfaithful.
In her 2022 documentary, Dupri admitted to being “reckless” during their time together.
“Girls wanted to talk to me more because I was dating her, which was really weird,” he said in the film. “And I was a man.”
At the time of their split, Jackson wanted to start a family. Sources close to the couple said the overlap of personal and professional life added strain to the relationship.
The moment was caught on Ross’s stream and quickly circulated across social media, adding more heat to an already chaotic rollout for Iceman. Drake has been using his own livestreams to tease new music and build momentum for the project, but this leak threw a wrench into those plans.
Drake Disses DeMar DeRozan In “Iceman” Leaked Track
The leaked snippet included a pointed jab at NBA star DeMar DeRozan. The former Toronto Raptors player was a longtime friend of Drake. In the track, Drake raps:
“When you was part of the team we used to be planning our Mexico trips in the spring/We must’ve been dealing in the spur of the moment/Cause why (Kawhi) did we think you could get us a ring?”
The lyrics reference DeRozan’s trade from the Raptors to the Spurs in 2018, a move that brought Kawhi Leonard to Toronto.
Leonard would go on to lead the team to its first-ever NBA championship in 2019—something DeRozan never achieved during his time with the franchise.
Many interpreted the verse as a response to DeRozan’s appearance in Kendrick Lamar‘s “Not Like Us” video and his on-stage cameo at Kendrick’s Pop-Out concert. Both moves were seen as public support for Kendrick in his feud with Drake.
Despite the leak, Drake has continued to preview new music on his own terms. Recent tracks include “That’s How I Feel” and “Dog House,” a collaboration with Yeat and Julia Wolf.
No official release date has been announced for Iceman.
NLE Choppa found himself at the center of a messy custody dispute after ex-girlfriend Marissa Da’Nae blasted the Memphis rapper online, accusing him of dragging her to court over their infant son despite what she described as minimal involvement in the child’s life.
On Sunday night (September 14), Da’Nae, who shares two children with the 22-year-old artist, posted a series of tweets criticizing the rapper’s parenting.
“I can’t believe this b#### is taking me to court about a child he doesn’t even call lmao I get so angry just thinking about this s###,” she wrote. “B#### can’t even tell a mf when’s the last time Chozen been to the doctor or even been to a doctor’s appointment.”
Da’Nae didn’t stop there. She claimed Choppa had little knowledge of their son’s day-to-day life and mocked the idea that he could produce any real evidence of quality time spent with the child.
“He wouldn’t even be able to fill up all 20 Instagram slides of different occasions when he saw Chozen,” she tweeted.
When asked by a follower about the legal situation, Da’Nae alleged that Choppa was seeking custody despite rarely seeing the child.
“Yeah trying to take me to court for a child he barely see,” she replied. “A child he had fasting at 1 year old. Saying a child didn’t need to eat 3 times a day. Kids come home starving.”
The former couple’s relationship has been rocky since they were first linked in 2021.
They share daughter Clover Brylie Potts, born in June 2020, and son ChoZen Wone Da’Shun Potts, born in August 2023.
In September 2022, NLE Choppa publicly announced their breakup, saying he wasn’t ready to settle down. “I had some growing up to do,” he admitted in a YouTube video titled “clearing the air…”
Phylicia Rashad opened the “In Memoriam” segment at Sunday night’s Emmy Awards with a heartfelt tribute to her late Malcolm-Jamal Warner, her longtime on-screen son from “The Cosby Show,” who died in July at age 54.
“He was a beloved teenager in an iconic television series who the world watched grow into manhood,” Rashad said during the solemn moment. “And like all our friends and colleagues who transitioned this past year, Malcolm-Jamal Warner remains in our hearts.”
The tribute came just months after Warner’s sudden death from an accidental drowning while vacationing in Costa Rica.
The actor, best known for playing Theo Huxtable across all eight seasons of “The Cosby Show,” earned an Emmy nomination in 1986 for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series.
Rashad, who portrayed Clair Huxtable, stood center stage as photos of departed television figures played behind her.
She continued, “We remember them not just for their immense talent but also for the way they made us believe in something bigger, the best that is within us.”
Warner’s legacy extended far beyond his breakout role. After “The Cosby Show” ended in 1992, he built a steady career with roles in series like “9-1-1” and “The Resident,” while also working behind the camera and pursuing music.
Since Warner’s passing, tributes have poured in from across the entertainment world.
Beyoncé honored him on her website, writing, “Thank you for being a big part of our shared television history. You will be missed.”
Viola Davis shared a message on Instagram, saying, “Theo was OUR son, OUR brother, OUR friend.”
Bob Vylan drew criticism during a concert in Amsterdam after frontman Bobby Vylan referenced the killing of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk at a Utah university event.
While performing at Club Paradiso in the Netherlands, Bobby Vylan addressed the crowd before launching into a song, saying, “I want to dedicate this next one to an absolute p############ of a human being. The pronouns was/were. Cause if you chat s###, you will get banged. Rest in peace Charlie Kirk, you p############.”
Kirk, 31, a staunch ally of former President Donald Trump and founder of Turning Point USA, was shot and killed Wednesday (September 10) during a speaking engagement at Utah Valley University. Authorities have labeled the incident a politically motivated assassination.
Some people interpreted Bob Vylan’s comment as a celebration of Kirk’s death, sparking backlash online and from conservative circles.
Bobby Vylan Denies Celebrating Charlie Kirk’s Death
In response, Bobby Vylan posted a video to social media denying any such intent. “At no point during yesterday’s show was Charlie Kirk’s death celebrated. At no point whatsoever did we celebrate Charlie Kirk’s death,” he said.
Club Paradiso stood by the performance, issuing a statement in defense of the band’s right to artistic expression.
“Paradiso believes in the power of artistic freedom. Music, and punk in particular, has traditionally been a form of art that amplifies anger, discontent, and injustice without filter.”
The venue also linked the performance to broader political issues, stating, “Paradiso shares the outrage and concern regarding the genocidal violence taking place in Gaza. That Bob Vylan raises his voice against it is legitimate and necessary.”
This is not the first time Bob Vylan has drawn criticism for controversial political statements.
During a live BBC broadcast at Glastonbury Festival in June, the duo called for the “death” of the Israel Defence Forces (IDF), prompting a police investigation by Avon and Somerset Police.
BBC director general Tim Davie later described the broadcast as “a very significant mistake,” and the network issued an apology, calling the segment “antisemitic” and “deeply disturbing.”
Following that incident, the U.S. State Department revoked the group’s visas, effectively barring them from performing in the United States.
Bobby Vylan has consistently defended his comments as political speech, not hate.
After the Glastonbury controversy, he wrote on social media, “There was nothing antisemitic or criminal about anything I said.”
Despite the controversy, Bob Vylan’s upcoming shows in the Netherlands are still set to go ahead. Venues Doornroosje and 013 both confirmed the events will proceed.
Rapper Ay Huncho avoided harm after a hail of bullets struck his former residence in western Sydney early Sunday in what police are calling a dangerous escalation tied to ongoing gang rivalries.
Just after 1 A.M., gunmen opened fire on a house on Harris Street in Merrylands, a property where the Hip-Hop artist once lived. Inside the home were members of his family, two women, ages 22 and 40 and a 15-year-old boy.
All three escaped injury.
Police described the shooting as reckless and deliberate.
“It’s brazen, it’s dangerous behavior, it’s putting the community at risk, it’s behavior we won’t tolerate,” Inspector Ricki Lindner said during a press briefing.
Investigators confirmed the home previously belonged to Ay Huncho, who was granted bail last month despite police opposition. Authorities allege the rapper has ties to the Alameddine crime network, a group linked to several violent incidents across western Sydney.
The Alameddine group has been under intense scrutiny by New South Wales Police. In March, officers carried out large-scale raids, claiming they dismantled much of the gang’s infrastructure.
Despite those efforts, Sunday’s shooting suggests the violence is far from over.
The NSW Police’s Taskforce Falcon, created to respond to a surge in public shootings and stabbings, is now involved in the investigation.
According to police, this is not the first time Ay Huncho or his circle has been targeted. In June, a 15-year-old and a 22-year-old allegedly attacked the home of the rapper’s bodyguard in Guildford.
The suspects reportedly stabbed the bodyguard’s father during the incident.
Authorities are now working to determine if Sunday’s gunfire is part of a broader pattern of retaliation and internal disputes within the Alameddine network.
Ay Huncho, who has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, remains out on bail as his legal case continues.
Ray J is back trying to make viral magic in a bathroom again—this time asking IShowSpeed to hop in the shower with him after Kai Cenat already told him “nah.”
Ray J uploaded a video from inside a steamy shower—no shirt, water running, aiming his next invite at IShowSpeed, who’s currently on Day 18 of his 35-day “Speed Does America” livestream marathon.
“My next person I want to take a shower with is iShowspeed. Yeah, n####. I heard you about the stream with Kevin Gates. And Kevin Gates is my brother. I’m gonna have that n#### line it up, bro. I’ll see you soon, iShowspeed. Talk to me, n####.”
This isn’t Ray J’s first time trying to turn a bathroom into viral content.
Just days ago, he barged into Kai Cenat’s bathroom during the streamer’s “Mafiathon 3” event—rocking shades and a Speedo—trying to join Kai mid-shower.
To make it even weirder, a DJ started playing Ray J’s “One Wish” while all this was happening, turning the whole scene into some kind of surreal meme moment.
Ray J ended up showering alone, but it didn’t matter. Social media lit up instantly, with people clowning the whole thing and wondering what he’s really on.
In earlier streams, Ray J said he wanted to do a shower segment with Kai, but promised to keep his clothes on. That clearly didn’t happen, which explains why Kai looked so uncomfortable and snapped at him after.
Now that Kai’s out, Ray J’s got his sights set on Speed.
And even though Speed already said no once, Ray J’s doubling down like he’s trying to make this shower collab a real thing.
In the not so distant past, Jon B walked into Nas’ London concert expecting simply to enjoy the show, but he left with a memory that stitched their careers even tighter. The R&B singer recalled how the Queensbridge legend welcomed him backstage after performing with a full symphony orchestra. They had a special history that made the link-up so much more special.
“They got Jon B here to see you,” he remembered hearing. Nas responded with a grin, “R&B Jon B? The singer? Tell him come in.”
The reunion sparked conversation about their 2001 collaboration on “Finer Things,” a track Jon B crafted specifically with Nas’ style in mind. The smooth song mixed R&B textures with suave-street storytelling.
“I wanted a pocket like the ‘Street Dreams’ tempo. I cooked it up specifically for him,” Jon B told AllHipHop in WonWorld Studios. “He was on it. Two verses. He wrote the song twice, actually, dedication like Pac.”
Watch Jon B talk about Nas at the 20-minute mark below.
Jon B said Nas’ precision in the studio was unforgettable. He rewrote his verses to reach a standard only he could reach. “That closing rap…fire,” Jon B said, reciting the bars with admiration.
That moment and others underlined Jon B’s enduring dedication between R&B soul and Hip-Hop. His career took off in the mid-1990s with hits like “Someone to Love” and “They Don’t Know,” but his collaborations with Hip-Hop figures has distinguished him from others. He worked with Tupac Shakur, Nas, Fat Joe and, more recently, Rick Ross. These links have cemented his crossover viability.
Three decades later, Jon B continues to push forward with integrity. His latest album, 2024’s Waiting on You, marked his first studio project in more than a decade. The opus is classic R&B, live instrumentation and grown-man songwriting. Beyond his singing, the album underscores his evolution as a producer and arranger.
Jon B credits Hip-Hop culture for shaping him from the start.
“I grew up with hip-hop in the ’80s—truck jewelry, breakdancing, locking, graffiti, the DJ…there’s nothing like it,” he said.
He admitted that rap has always been in his musical toolkit. “I wouldn’t call myself a rapper, but rap is a musical tool for me. I have fun freestyling, been doing it for years,” he said.
For Jon B, the link between Hip-Hop and R&B—and more broadly so-called urban culture—has always been authentic, not just a business strategy. Tt’s been a creative lifeline. With Waiting on You, he reminds longtime listeners and newer ones he’s back like he never left, much like Hip-Hop’s greatest MCs.
Toosii just pulled off a rare double play—securing a football scholarship at Sacramento State while still riding high on the charts as a multi-platinum Hip-Hop artist.
The 25-year-old rapper announced Sunday that he received an offer to join the Hornets football team as a wide receiver in the 2026 recruiting class.
Sacramento State head coach Brennan Marion extended the offer during a FaceTime call Friday, creating a buzz that quickly spread across both the sports and music worlds.
“Man the lord is powerful,” Toosii posted on social media. “Blessed to receive an offer from Sacramento State. Thank you and big shout to Head Coach Brennan Marion and Coach C.J. Pollard. This don’t even feel real man. I’m speechless right now. I don’t even know what to say.”
Known for chart-toppers like “Favorite Song” and “Love Cycle,” Toosii becomes the first multi-platinum recording artist to pursue Division I college football.
“A blessing and an honor coming from what I come from. Especially to be able to go back and chase my dreams,” Toosii toldOn3′s Pete Nakos after receiving the offer.
Before his rap career took off, the Syracuse native played high school football at Rolesville High in Raleigh, North Carolina. Though he shifted focus to music, the dream of returning to the gridiron never faded.
In August, he hinted at his ambitions on social media: “I’m chasing history. First multi-platinum recording artist to go back to school and play DIVISION I football. Next year I’m gonna be on somebody’s team mark my words!”
Toosii also toured campuses at Maryland and USC, which helped him realize that his goal was within reach.
Sacramento State, a program gaining traction under Marion’s leadership, could benefit from Toosii’s visibility and crossover appeal as it eyes a move to a more competitive conference.
Although he posted videos of himself working out with the Hornets, Toosii has yet to make an official decision, which is expected to be made in December.
Busta Rhymes, Questlove and dead prez’s M-1 were a few of the artists who hopped in Lauryn Hill’s recent Instagram post to applaud her son, Zion Marley. The post arrived on Saturday (September 13) and included a clip of Marley’s new video for “Premature Paradise.”
Hill, who shares Zion with Bob Marley’s son Rohan Marley, wrote, “Salute to my beloved son Zion Marley — grass-roots and self-funded, pushing his music out there!! Beautiful song!”
“Wow,” Questlove wrote, while Busta, M-1 and Rohan added emoji expressing their love for the song.
Lauryn Hill famously wrote and sang about Zion on her celebrated solo debut, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, on the song “To Zion.” The track blends acoustic Spanish guitar, courtesy of Carlos Santana, with elements of Hip-Hop and gospel, underscoring its emotional resonance and the spiritual journey Hill underwent during her pregnancy.
Lyrically, Hill explores the inner conflict she faced between yielding to outside pressure to prioritize her career and her decision to embrace motherhood, expressing vulnerability and ultimately gratitude for what she describes as God’s “gift so great.”
“To Zion” combines themes of maternal love, faith, and transformation, elevating her son as both the literal and symbolic source of her joy—while referencing Zion as the holy city, it also stands as a representation of hope and salvation. The song’s chorus and moving gospel-inspired finale have cemented it as an anthem for women choosing motherhood on their own terms.
One person pointed out, “Its crazy that you wrote the song Zion all those yrs ago and we get to see the muse himself as a whole adult keeping the family’s legacy going. Great song, great presence congrats to your baby.”
Questlove will be honored with the 2025 Peabody Trailblazer Award in Los Angeles on October 10 for his expansive contributions to music, documentary storytelling and the preservation of Black culture.
The Peabody organization announced the award earlier this week, citing the Oscar-winning filmmaker and longtime drummer of The Roots as a “vital cultural archivist and social commentator.”
The honor celebrates individuals whose creative work drives cultural progress and social change.
“Through his prodigious output of creative work across documentary filmmaking, publishing, music, and more, Questlove has emerged as one of our most important voices in understanding American culture of the past and present,” said Peabody executive director Dr. Jeffrey Jones, per Variety.
He added that Thompson’s work highlights “the centrality of black musical genius in shaping and defining music and culture across the world.”
Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson, who first rose to fame as co-founder and drummer of The Roots, has built a career that stretches far beyond the stage.
The Roots, known for their genre-blending sound and live instrumentation, currently serve as the house band for “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.”
His 2021 documentary Summer of Soul unearthed long-forgotten footage from the 1969 Harlem Cultural Festival. The film won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature and took home both the Grand Jury Prize and Audience Award at Sundance. It also earned a Peabody Award.
Thompson’s recent projects include Emmy-nominated documentaries, Sly Lives! (aka the Burden of Black Genius) and Ladies & Gentlemen… 50 Years Of SNL Music further cementing his role as a storyteller focused on Black excellence and historical preservation.
The Peabody Trailblazer Award has previously gone to Quinta Brunson, creator of Abbott Elementary, and Issa Rae, who was the inaugural recipient. Brunson is set to present the award to Thompson during the ceremony.
Civil rights icon Angela Davis will join Thompson for a live discussion about his legacy and influence during the event, which will be held at The Sun Rose Hotel in West Hollywood. Dropbox is the presenting sponsor.
MC Serch of the ’80s/’90s Hip-Hop trio 3rd Bass has a target on his back. Serch was a recent guest on The Shorecast podcast with Apathy and Al Mayo, where he’s accused of telling some tall tales.
On September 11, Mikey D of Main Source—the group that introduced a young Nas to the world on 1991 debut Breaking Atoms—had some choice words for Serch, accusing him of lying about the past. Mikey also clowned him for getting his name wrong. Serch called him Mikey Devastation, when really the “D” stands for destruction.
“MC Serch, you’ve got some explaining to do,” Mikey wrote. “Thanks to DJ Stress, I watched this Apathy Podcast interview over and over. I still can’t believe the way you flipped the story about the confrontation at Wild Pitch. I’m telling you and everyone who saw the interview that you are capping!!! You said things that were far from the truth in order to make yourself look like the victim.
“I could debunk the whole story right now, but I’ll wait. Mikey Devastation, really?? I guess you don’t know what Mikey Destruction stood for!! We were wack anyway??? KEEP POKING THE BEAR!!!!!”
Mikey followed up with the actual clip he has an issue with, which involves Serch’s recollection of Mikey and a friend’s mother allegedly pulling a gun on Wild Pitch Records founder Stuart Fine. Serch claims his wife was seven months pregnant at the time and starting “leaking” because of the stress of the situation.
But Mikey begs to differ, writing, “MC Serch, I can’t let this story go unchallenged!!! This is your account of what happened? Well let me tell the people my side of the story!!”
Mikey’s posts sparked a cascade of comments comparing MC Serch to Fat Joe, who doesn’t exactly have the best reputation when it comes to telling the truth.
“Him and Fat Joe are neck and neck for the most lies told lol,” Ellay Khule wrote, while Prince Po of Organized Konfusion added, “He almost got his ass handed to him when we was on tour back some time ago. He was bein a smart mouth and said some corny unnecessary sht about 1 of the members of RSO. The group Ray Benzino was in.
“Needless to say I told Monch…watch this..and before u know it…they had em half moon surrounded rgt there on stage….I was laughing loud af bcuz it was str8 unnecessary…those are my brothers..been for a long time…. specific weirdo memories amidst GREAT memories.”
People weren’t done there, though. Serch continued getting roasted with more comments like, “dude been a clown” and “his embellishments and lies are why him and Pete Nice fell out years ago. SMH.”
Serch has yet to address the accusations—at least not publicly—nor has Mikey provided his version of events. Kool Moe Dee, however, re-shared Mikey’s post to his page, making it clear a lot of people agree with him.
Mo’Nique doubled down on her ongoing rift with Tyler Perry and Oprah Winfrey during a recent Instagram Live, making it clear she has no intention of walking away from a fight she believes is rooted in principle and decades of injustice.
“When people say, ‘Mo’Nique, when are you going to stop with Tyler and Oprah?’ I’m not. Just so we clear, I’m not,” she said during the livestream.
The Oscar-winning actress and stand-up veteran has long maintained that her career was derailed after she refused to promote the 2009 film “Precious” without additional compensation.
Despite winning an Academy Award for her role, Mo’Nique said she was labeled “difficult” and effectively blackballed in Hollywood.
During her livestream, Mo’Nique tied that treatment to a broader cultural pattern, saying, “That dates all the way back to slavery. ‘Just don’t say nothing. Just keep moving on.’ And that’s why we continue to be treated the way that we get treated.”
Mo’Nique insisted her stance isn’t about resentment but about integrity.
“Doesn’t mean I’m bitter, I’m angry and I am not bitter. And I love my brother and sister or my sister and sister, whatever day Tyler chooses, whichever way he goes, I love all of them. However, wrong is wrong and right is right. And until we start standing on what is right, we will continue to be treated wrong.”
The tension between Mo’Nique and Winfrey escalated in 2010 when the talk show host aired a segment featuring Mo’Nique’s estranged family members, including her brother, who admitted to sexually abusing her.
The decision to broadcast that interview added a deeply personal layer to their already strained professional relationship.
“I talk to Tyler today he told me he never told anyone not to hire \@therealmoworldwide and he is happy I decided to work with her,” 50 Cent wrote on Instagram. “He said he couldn’t speak for Oprah but he is sure she is fine with Mo’Nique and has even brought her up for things Mo’Nique has no idea about. I’m so happy for Mo right now! She Back.”
Mo’Nique responded with gratitude and high praise for the rapper-turned-TV executive.
“I want to talk right to our baby, from one Black woman to that beautiful, pure-hearted Black man,” she said. “And let me be clear, I’m saying Curtis ‘50 Cent’ Jackson is of pure heart. So, when y’all get to talking about ‘Oh 50, you next,’ that’s a man, that’s a king. He’s of pure heart, baby, and he’s principled.”
Though she has since patched things up with Precious director Lee Daniels, Mo’Nique continues to press for accountability from Tyler Perry and Oprah Winfrey, showing no signs of backing down more than a decade after the original fallout.
JAY-Z is pushing back hard in federal court, demanding that a woman suing him under the alias “Jane Doe” be forced to reveal her identity, accusing her of launching a calculated smear campaign while hiding behind anonymity.
In her last filing, Jane Doe’s psychiatrist claimed “public exposure would destabilize her current mental health recovery” and doubled down on her claims that she was assaulted by Jay and Diddy at a party after the MTV VMAs in 2000.
The lawsuit, which stems from previously dismissed allegations in New York, accuses JAY-Z of abuse, a claim his attorneys say she has already recanted on tape.
“Their filings persist in advancing the same false and malicious narrative previously asserted in court and disseminated through global media, before dismissing those claims with prejudice and before Doe herself stated they were false,” Hov’s lawyer, W. Patton Hahn, said.
The motion accuses Doe and her attorney, Houston-based Anthony Buzbee, of orchestrating a campaign to damage JAY-Z’s name, family and career while shielding Doe’s identity from public scrutiny.
“By reasserting and amplifying these knowingly false allegations, Defendants seek to continue their conspiracy to inflict reputational, emotional, and economic harm on Mr. Carter, his children and his entire family, all while concealing Doe’s identity,” Hahn added.
The original case, filed in New York, was dismissed with prejudice in February—meaning it cannot be refiled.
According to the filing, Doe later admitted on a recorded call that she made up the allegations at the direction of Buzbee, who is also named as a defendant in the current Alabama suit.
Despite that, Doe’s recent court documents again referenced the same claims.
JAY-Z’s attorneys argue that her continued use of the accusations while remaining anonymous is a deliberate tactic to harm his public image without accountability.
Doe claimed she dropped her initial case due to fear, but Jay-Z’s team said the real reason was procedural—Buzbee was not authorized to practice law in New York.
“Any insinuation that Mr. Carter frightened or threatened Doe is false. Mr. Carter has neither harassed nor threatened Doe, and such an accusation is a baseless attempt to prejudice the Court, as well as potential jurors, against Mr. Carter,” Hahn argued. “Mr. Carter only learned of Doe’s identity after Doe voluntarily dismissed her fabricated lawsuit against Mr. Carter with prejudice.”
The filing also pointed to Doe’s own public statements and social media activity discussing her mental health.
Her attorneys previously argued that revealing her name would cause undue harm, but JAY-Z’s team says that argument falls apart given her history of public disclosures.
They also cited testimony from Doe’s psychiatrist, who said she has been diagnosed with multiple psychiatric disorders and takes several medications.
Public records show that within three months of filing the lawsuit, Doe appeared in Mental Health Court. She also faced a second-degree assault charge less than a year before initiating legal action against JAY-Z.
His legal team argued that keeping her identity hidden while continuing to use the court system to spread falsehoods is a misuse of judicial transparency.
The judge has yet to issue a ruling on either Doe’s request to remain anonymous or JAY-Z’s motion to compel her to publicly reveal her name.
Stacey Dash blasted social media users who mocked the death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, calling the online reaction “heartless” and accusing people of celebrating tragedy simply because they disagreed with his views.
In a series of emotional video clips posted to her social media, Dash condemned those making jokes about Kirk’s killing, saying, “Y’all are sick for laughing.”
“What’s wrong with you? I mean, what is wrong with you that you can celebrate someone’s death?” Stacy Dash fumed. “Seriously, because they don’t agree with you, because they talk about different things and you don’t like what they’re saying? You don’t like hearing the truth, so you celebrate their death. What is going on?”
‘Clueless’ star Stacey Dash slams liberals celebrating Charlie Kirk’s death.
“Whats wrong with you? That you can celebrate someone’s death. Seriously? Because they don’t agree with you?
The devil is dancing right now and you’re celebrating right along with him.”
Dash, known for her outspoken political views, said the online reaction to Kirk’s death revealed a deeper issue.
“That is the state of our country and our world. The devil is dancing right now and you’re celebrating along right with him. So god help you,” she said.
She also reminded viewers that Kirk’s death left behind a grieving family.
“All of you who are celebrating a man’s death, the fact that his children have no father, his wife has no husband, his parents have lost their son, and you’re celebrating. He was a human being,” she said.
Kirk’s widow, Erika, also addressed the public for the first time Saturday (September 13) in a livestream from Turning Point USA’s Arizona headquarters.
“You have no idea the fire that you have ignited within this wife; the cries of this widow will echo around the world like a battle cry,” she said.
A public memorial for Kirk is scheduled for September 21 at State Farm Stadium in Arizona.
The event, organized by Turning Point USA, is expected to draw a large crowd. President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are all expected to attend.
Trump also announced that Kirk will receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom posthumously, calling him a “giant of his generation and a champion of liberty.”
Terence Crawford dismantled expectations and Canelo Alvarez in Las Vegas on Saturday (September 13) by outpointing the Mexican superstar to claim the undisputed super middleweight crown and shake up boxing’s pound-for-pound hierarchy.
Crawford, who came in as a +148 underdog, controlled the pace from the opening round, neutralizing Canelo’s trademark power and landing cleaner, sharper shots throughout the 12-round bout. Judges scored the fight 116-112, 115-113 and 115-113 in favor of Crawford, who now holds titles in three different weight classes.
The Omaha, Nebraska native’s defense and ring IQ were on full display, as he slipped Canelo’s heavy punches and countered with precision. Despite Canelo’s size advantage, his blows failed to faze Crawford, who dictated the tempo and never allowed his opponent to find a rhythm.
By the middle rounds, it was clear Canelo needed a knockout to win. That moment never came.
The win not only elevates Crawford’s legacy but also sparked comparisons to boxing greats. The only modern fighter with a comparable résumé is Floyd Mayweather, who retired undefeated at 50-0 and also holds a win over Canelo.
Mayweather, who rarely speaks publicly about upcoming fights, made his opinion known after the final bell. He posted a photo of a betting slip on Instagram showing he wagered $50,000 on Crawford to win outright. The bet paid out $74,000 in profit, giving him a total return of $124,000.
