D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser Blasts Trump’s “So-Called Emergency” In Unprecedented Police Takeover

By: London JennnCategory: AHHplus

Mayor Muriel Bowser called out President Donald Trump’s takeover of the D.C. police department on Monday (August 11) as both “unsettling and unprecedented” during a press briefing, pushing back on what she described as a “so-called emergency” used to justify federal control of the city’s law enforcement.

The D.C. Mayor acknowledged the president’s authority under the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, which allows a temporary 30-day federal takeover in the name of public safety, but made clear she found the move highly irregular. 

“I’m going to work every day to make sure it’s not a complete disaster,” Bowser said. “Let me put it that way.”

Trump’s order, announced over the weekend, places the Metropolitan Police Department under federal command and deploys officers from multiple agencies across the city. 

The president claimed the action was necessary to “stop violent crime” and clean up the city, including clearing homeless encampments and threatening to bring in the National Guard.

Bowser, however, pointed to data showing violent crime in the District had dropped to a 30-year low, with a 26% decrease in violent incidents and an overall 7% dip in crime this year. 

“We’re going to work every day to get this emergency put to an end — I’ll call it the ‘so-called emergency,’” she said.

The mayor also noted that while the federal intervention was disturbing, it wasn’t entirely unexpected given the administration’s past rhetoric. 

Donald Trump Plans To Force Unhoused People Out Of D.C.

Democratic leaders across the country have echoed Bowser’s concerns, calling the takeover excessive and politically motivated. 

Critics argue the move is less about crime and more about optics, mainly as federal agents in marked vehicles now patrol high-traffic areas and known hotspots.

Trump’s directive includes plans to remove unhoused individuals from public spaces, stating they should “move out immediately,” while saying those committing crimes would be jailed. 

The White House has not provided a timeline for when federal control will end.

Young Thug Aims At Gunna & Yak Gotti In Leaked Snippet From Alleged Lil Baby Track

By: London JennnCategory: Rumors

Young Thug appeared to take direct shots at Gunna and Yak Gotti in a leaked snippet that surfaced online Monday night (August 11) and is rumored to be from Lil Baby’s upcoming album The Leak$, due out Friday (August 15).

In the brief clip, a voice believed to be Thug’s delivers a pointed line: “Only reason I f##### with you, Gunna, it was ’cause of Troup.” He also aims a jab at Yak Gotti, saying, “Yak tricked me for some years, I ain’t know he was telling.”

The name “Troup” in Thug’s lyric refers to Keith “King Troup,” a respected figure in their Atlanta circle who mentored both artists before being fatally shot in 2015. Thug previously honored him in the track “King Troup.”

Yak Gotti, whose real name is Deamonte Kendrick, was a co-defendant in the YSL racketeering case. He was acquitted of all charges, making him the only defendant to walk away from the trial without a conviction.

Gunna Takes Aim At young Thug On New Album

The timing of the leak raised eyebrows, especially as Gunna just dropped his latest album, The Last Wun, on Friday (August 8), widely seen as his final release under the Young Stoner Life (YSL) label.

On the track “Prototype,” Gunna seems to respond to a now-deleted tweet from Thug that read, “Gunna stop acting like we friends on the internet, I don’t know u my guy.”

Gunna’s response? “N#### had tweeted my name, must’ve had to be a typo.”

He also appears to reference the bad blood with Young Thug on “Just Say That.”

The tension between the two rappers has been brewing since Gunna entered a guilty plea in the YSL RICO case in late 2022.

While he maintained he never cooperated with prosecutors, public perception and silence from Thug’s camp fueled speculation of a rift.

Adding more intrigue, Thug hasn’t directly addressed the leaked snippet or Gunna’s lyrics.

But on Tuesday (August 12), he tweeted “10:17 udigg,” a cryptic message that some interpreted as a hint at his own upcoming release.

Lil Baby’s The Leak$ is scheduled to drop Friday (August 15).

Charleston White Mocks Boosie Badazz’s Federal Plea Deal, Predicts Prison Death

By: London JennnCategory: News

Charleston White wasted no time celebrating Boosie Badazz’s legal troubles, unleashing a brutal video rant mocking the rapper’s federal plea deal and the possibility of prison time, while dragging his children and newborn baby into the mix.

“Boosie going to jail!” he shouted. “I couldn’t wait to celebrate.” The Texas-based internet personality has been locked in a long-running feud with the Baton Rouge rapper, and now that Boosie is facing time behind bars, White is treating it like a personal victory parade.

White’s latest tirade comes after Boosie agreed to a federal plea deal related to a June 2023 arrest in San Diego, where police found two guns in his vehicle.

Because of a 2011 felony drug conviction, the firearm charge became a federal offense. Details of the plea remain sealed, but Boosie is due back in court on Tuesday (August 26, 2025) for a sentencing hearing.

White promised to livestream the rapper’s incarceration and took direct aim at Boosie’s son, Tootie Raww.

“I’m going to go live all day long when Boosie go to jail and let y’all request. I’m rubbing in Tootie Raww face. Tootie, I told your ugly ass to leave me alone. I left your daddy alone…”

He added, “I’m going to make y’all ass cry when Booy go to jail.”

White even dragged Boosie’s infant daughter, Sevyn, into the rant. The child was born in April.

“Boosie won’t get to see that newborn baby till that baby be walking and talking,” he said.

He continued, “I’m finna have content forever, long as Boosie in jail. I’m going to make fun of his mama. I’m going to make fun of his new girlfriend that just had the baby. They going to have to go breastfeed the baby in the visitation room.”

White then took it a step further, wagering on Boosie’s health and life expectancy behind bars.

“I got $10,000. Boosie don’t make it out of prison alive,” he said. “I got $10,000 Boosie die from a diabetes stroke in prison. Boosie will not make it out of prison this time, y’all. He will die this time from diabetes. I got $10,000 on. And if they give him five years, I say Boosie dead within 3 years from going into a diabetic coma.”

Boosie, for his part, tried to calm supporters after news of the plea broke.

“Once you take a plea, your sentencing ain’t till two, three months after it,” he said. “So I’m gonna be at every show, of course. All my shows coming up. I’ll be at all my shows.”

The long-running feud between the two began when Charleston White insulted Boosie and his son online in 2022.

In 2023, White claimed he tipped off law enforcement about Tootie Raww allegedly carrying “drugs and guns.” After Boosie’s arrest, White used religious jabs to mock him, claiming he was “chosen” for jail.

White has also claimed he possesses recorded calls that could further implicate Boosie, including allegations that the rapper threatened a promoter.

50 Cent Hits Finesse2Tymes With Brutal Advice Over His Mom’s Homeless Plea

By: London JennnCategory: News

50 Cent took a break from clowning rappers to drop some unsolicited wisdom on Finesse2Tymes after the Memphis rapper’s mother publicly accused him of abandoning her.

On Tuesday (May 14), the Hip-Hop and entertainment mogul posted a clip of Pluria Alexander, Finesse2Tymes’ mother, venting online about her son allegedly ignoring her calls and cutting off financial support.

In the video, Alexander claimed she was facing eviction and had nowhere to go.

50 shared some words of wisdom for both Finesse2Tymes and his mother in the caption.

“Hey Finesse you look just like yo momma man just call her,” he wrote. “I said what the f### do you do when that happens, nothing look at her and say you want some of this money or not. Stay yo ass off the phone Ma, who showed you how to make a video anyway? @1finesse2tymes please don’t say nothing crazy.”

Finesse2Tymes hasn’t directly responded to 50 Cent, but he did post a cryptic message to his Instagram Stories shortly after the video made the rounds. The post read, “Keep ya eyes open And ya mouth shut,” alongside a photo of himself.

Earlier this week, Finesse2Tymes dropped a raw freestyle where he compared himself to Eminem, referencing his strained relationship with his mother.

The track arrived just days after Alexander launched a GoFundMe campaign asking for $6,000 to help with moving expenses, claiming she’d been left homeless for the third time by her son.

Alexander also said the ongoing tension with her son has triggered anxiety and depression, which she attributes to “narcissistic abuse.”

Sha’Carri Richardson Breaks Silence After Domestic Violence Arrest: “I Refuse To Run Away”

By: London JennnCategory: AHHplus

Sha’Carri Richardson addressed her arrest and the fallout from a domestic violence incident involving fellow sprinter Christian Coleman in a late-night Instagram Story on Monday (August 12), breaking her silence weeks after the confrontation at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.

Richardson, 24, was taken into custody on July 27 after an argument escalated into a physical altercation. According to police reports and surveillance footage, she shoved Coleman into a column. She also repeatedly invaded his personal space and threw headphones at him.

Officers arrested her on suspicion of fourth-degree domestic violence assault. She was booked into SCORE Jail and released the following day.

Despite Coleman declining to press charges or cooperate further, Washington state law mandates an arrest in domestic violence cases when officers respond shortly after the incident.

In her video message, Richardson didn’t directly mention Coleman or the arrest. However, she acknowledged the consequences of her actions and expressed a desire to grow from the experience.

Rihardson reflected on her actions following her domestic violence arrest, saying she’s holding herself accountable for putting both herself and someone she cares for in a compromising situation.

“I see myself,” she stated. “I’m taking this time to not only see myself, but give myself a certain level of help that overall is going to reflect who I truly am in my heart, in my spirit, and not allowing this moment, but accepting this moment to be more.”

She also said she’s using this time for self-reflection, personal growth, and to seek help, vowing to face challenges head-on and become better for herself, her family, and her fans.

Richardson concluded, “So more than anything, I refuse to run away … but face everything that comes to me head-on because everything on the other side is greater. What you got to go through in order to get there.”

Sha’Carri Richardson Places Second In Latest Race

The arrest came just days before Richardson competed in the 100-meter preliminary heat at the U.S. National Championships, where she placed second but later withdrew from the finals and skipped the 200-meter event entirely.

As the reigning 100-meter world champion, she still holds an automatic berth at the upcoming World Championships.

Surveillance footage of the airport incident was later made public. The video confirmed the details outlined in the police report and fueling widespread media coverage.

Machine Gun Kelly Blows Off Sydney Sweeney Dating Talk

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Machine Gun Kelly threw cold water on all that Sydney Sweeney hookup chatter during a taping of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, and he didn’t tiptoe around it either.

When Cohen read a viewer question about whether MGK and Sydney Sweeney were “more than just friends” after a group pic from May started making the rounds, MGK locked eyes with the camera and fired off:

“Kyle P, shut up, dude.” That’s it. That’s the whole response, no sugarcoating it.

The two have known each other for a while now—they worked together on Downfalls High back in 2021, which was MGK’s first shot at directing.

So, they’ve got history, but not the kind people are daydreaming about.

MGK is currently flying solo after calling it quits with Megan Fox last year. The exes welcomed their baby girl, Saga, this past March.

Meanwhile, Sydney reportedly ended things with her fiancé, producer Jonathan Davino, around the same time the photo with MGK surfaced. Elsewhere in the convo, MGK got into some trippy territory about getting older—if he even believes in that.

“It’s a weird thing, dude, I don’t know if it exists,” he said.

Then he added this gem: “I just don’t know many facts about my life, so I’m starting to just be like, like, my skin, if it just rips open, it heals really quick, there’s just things where I’m starting to be, like, ‘Who’s my dad?’ You know?”

MGK might not know who his dad is, but he definitely knows he’s not dating Sydney Sweeney.

Jelly Roll Stuns NFL Players With 200-Pound Weight Loss

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Jelly Roll pulled up to the Tennessee Titans’ facility looking way leaner and dropping wisdom, revealing he’s shed a wild 200 pounds during his health grind.

The Hip-Hop star—real name Jason DeFord—popped up in a video shared by the Titans, hyping up the squad and flexing a noticeably slimmer frame.

He cracked a joke mid-speech to Coach Brian Callahan, saying, “I lost 200 pounds. I told coach I’m getting a contract if I lose another 50.” The room ate it up and gave him a round of applause.

While he’s not suiting up in pads anytime soon, Jelly said he’s “getting close” to being field-ready. Not bad for a dude who’s been battling weight issues most of his life.

But it wasn’t all jokes. Jelly got real with the players about the importance of building real bonds off the field, too.

“(My band and I) learned it was the 23 hours we wasn’t on the stage that we were building our connection,” he said. “Find a partner, find a friend, build a strength, build a relationship. Community—that stuff will translate to the field.”

He didn’t stop there.

The Nashville native talked about how getting his personal life right helped him level up in every other part of his world.

“I started becoming a better songwriter when I started becoming a better husband. I started becoming a better performer when I started becoming a better human,” he added. “I started becoming a better son. I started prioritising my momma’s calls. It’s funny how the heavens started opening up for me just ’cause of how I was treating relationships everywhere else.”

Jelly’s been on the road heavy lately, rolling through cities on his Beautifully Broken Tour. Next stop? Montreal on August 16.

He may not be gunning for a Super Bowl ring, but the dude’s clearly winning in other ways.

Rising Memphis Rapper Of Fast Cash Boyz Gunned Down In Wild Shootout

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Rising rapper C Money died in a hail of bullets during a chaotic shootout in Memphis early Sunday, cutting short the life of a rising Fast Cash Boyz member whose music was gaining traction in the Southern Hip-Hop scene.

The 25-year-old artist, born C Money Smith, was gunned down around midnight on August 10, 2025, in a residential neighborhood, according to Memphis police.

Authorities said multiple homes were struck by gunfire during the exchange, which reportedly involved several vehicles.

Smith was pronounced dead at the scene. Witnesses described the gunfire as part of an escalating feud that had been simmering for days.

“From what I hear, this has been going on since last Friday. That they’ve been back and forth shooting at each other, whoever they are,” a local resident told WREG.

Smith was one-half of the Fast Cash Boyz, a Memphis duo he formed with fellow rapper Fast Cash Jizzle. The group had been gaining local buzz as part of a new wave of Memphis Hip-Hop talent. The group had just opened for GloRilla at Glo Bash in July.

“Dam Lil bra we wasn’t Finish. We STILL ain’t stopping doe you did everythang you could just had the streets and the ladies on LOCK. I already know what you want me to do. We got it from here,” Fast Cash Jizzle said.

His partner and longtime girlfriend, Kya Smith, confirmed his death in a Facebook post and launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise money for funeral costs and to support their children.

“C Money Smith was more than just a rapper—he was a loving father, a loyal friend, and an inspiration to many. Through his music, he told the stories of his life, his struggles, and his dreams, touching the hearts of everyone who listened. His passion for his craft and his dedication to his children were unmatched,” the fundraiser reads.

The funeral is scheduled for August 23, 2025.

Cops On The Hunt For DDG Swatter As Trend Continues Nationwide

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

DDG got caught up in a wild police response during a paintball livestream in SoCal after some troll called in a fake emergency claiming he was armed and threatening people.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department rolled up deep, guns drawn, thinking DDG was a threat. Turns out it was a total lie.

The whole thing went down while DDG was live-streaming—cops cuffed him on camera, only to realize it was all fake and let him go.

Now the detectives are digging to track down whoever made the bogus call. A Sheriff’s spokesperson confirmed they’re actively working on the case and already filed a report for the phony emergency.

DDG’s manager and legal rep, Dimitri Hurt, told TMZ Hip Hop, “The anonymous caller fabricated a claim that DDG was armed and threatening people, which led to an unnecessary and heavily armed police response to a peaceful paintball live stream event. This reckless and malicious act disrupted the tournament, caused unnecessary panic among attendees, and put everyone present — including law enforcement — in harm’s way.”

He added, “DDG, who was there simply to enjoy and participate in the event, was deeply shaken by the incident. Having officers respond under the false belief that you are armed is an incredibly distressing and traumatizing experience.”

Swatting isn’t new, but it’s getting way more common—and dangerous.

In 2025 alone, schools across the country have been hit with fake threats that send cops scrambling. It’s gotten so bad that lawmakers are scrambling to pass new laws to stop this stuff.

One dude, Alan Filion, got slapped with four years in federal prison earlier this year for pulling off 375 fake calls across the U.S. between 2022 and 2024, showing just how out of hand this trend is getting.

Each swatting incident racks up a massive bill, too. Emergency services spend around $ 100,000 per response, while school-related swatting costs over $82 million in 2023, and that number’s still climbing in 2025.

DDG’s team says he’s cooperating with the investigation and authorities are doing what they can to bring the prankster to justice.

“We are grateful that no one was physically harmed, but the emotional toll and the damage to the event’s atmosphere were significant,” Hurt said.

Finesse2Tymes’ Mom Says Rapper Will Go Broke, Says He Spent Millions As She Struggles

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Finesse2Tymes is getting blasted by his own mom over money, clout and what she says is straight-up disrespect while she’s out here scrambling to stay off the streets.

Finesse2Tymes’ mother, Pluria Alexander, hopped online and let her son have it, claiming he dropped millions on weed, groupies and jewelry while she’s packing up her stuff and facing eviction.

In a no-filter rant, she called him out for turning his back on her and warned that karma’s coming for his bank account.

“You spend four million m###########’ dollars on n##### and b######. Weed. Flyin’ m############ back and forth,” Alexander said. “That’s what you spend your money on. Jewelry. You ain’t spend it on family. You done spend it on family. And when a m########### dead, guess what? They gotta do something for it. It ain’t genuine. Keep your money.”

She dragged him for being disrespectful after she called him a narcissist, saying he ran to post pictures instead of checking on her.

“I pushed you out this ass, n####. You don’t disrespect me,” she declared in the heated exchange, later doubling down with, “You disrespectful, boy. You disrespectful as a m###########. And you need your ass whooped.”

She accused the rapper of deliberately posting an image online after she called him out, describing it as a calculated move meant to humiliate her. The verbal assault continued with a vow to cut ties: “I swear to God, you ain’t never gotta do a m###########’ thing for me again.”

Pluria says she’s been cut off financially after a family fight and is now trying to raise $6K on GoFundMe to cover moving costs.

She says this is the third time she’s been left homeless by her own son. She also said the stress has triggered anxiety and what she calls “narcissistic abuse” from Finesse.

Before things blew up, she lived in Memphis. But after moving to Texas, her life went downhill. She’s also caught up in a money laundering case that she says came from being scammed by Nigerian fraudsters.

That situation made it tough to get approved for a new place, and she’s reportedly been denied by three different apartments.

She’s asking for help to cover deposits, transportation and housing so she can stay near family while handling her legal mess and mental health.

As for Finesse2Tymes, his mother said she was done with her own son.

“I don’t want your dirty money. Cause you ain’t gonna have it long. God gonna make sure of that,” Alexander said.

Iggy Azalea Reveals Painful Secret While Making Millions On OnlyFans

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Iggy Azalea has revealed that she did indeed rake in a jaw-dropping amount from her OnlyFans hustle, while fighting through a private medical scare that messed up her legs.

The Aussie rapper told ABC News she made “a life-changing number” on the platform, even though the $48 million figure floating around isn’t quite accurate.

“I’m no fool. I’ve been paid before I even made the profile. I was the top for that year. I barely, honestly… I didn’t have to do much,” she said. “It’s not $48 million. That’s not the exact number, but it’s a life-changing number. It’s a little lower. It was great for me because I was able to take all that money and use it to seed out ideas I had about businesses that I wanted to build.”

She first hopped on OnlyFans in January 2023 as part of her “Hotter Than Hell” project.

It was a mix of visuals, collabs, merch and the kind of spicy content that Instagram doesn’t allow.

At $25 a month, she quickly became one of the highest-paid creators on the platform. The money was great, but behind the scenes, Iggy was fighting through something way heavier.

She said she suffered nerve damage in her legs, which turned into a nasty infection that wouldn’t heal. And while she was dealing with IV treatments through a PICC line, she was still pushing content to keep her OnlyFans booming.

“I just ended up getting what’s called a chronically non-healing wound because I had a PICC line in my arm. We would take the PICC line out and then take hot bikini pictures for a day or two,” she said. “I turned lemons into lemonade with that. I really did.”

While some might’ve expected straight adult content, Iggy said the page was more about freedom and creative control.

She used the platform to bypass the usual online restrictions and connect in her own way. For about a year, she kept the page hot, promoting it with sultry Polaroids and bikini shots.

Eventually, she walked away from OnlyFans, saying she wanted to build something more community-driven and shifted her audience over to Telegram.

John Leguizamo Tears Into “M####” Dean Cain Over ICE Job

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

John Leguizamo flamed Dean Cain online after the former Superman actor said he’s training to be an ICE agent and proudly announced it like it was some kind of flex.

The Ice Age actor hopped on Instagram with a video and let loose on Cain, dragging his whole plan through the mud.

“What kind of loser volunteers to be an ICE officer?” Leguizamo said. “What a m####. Dean Cain, your pronouns are has/been.”

Cain, who hasn’t been on a major screen in years but is still riding that Lois & Clark nostalgia, didn’t come back swinging.

Instead, he kept it weirdly chill and dropped a post on X saying, “He’s a good actor – I like his stuff,” in response to an article from The Hollywood Reporter that covered Leguizamo’s comments.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by John Leguizamo (@johnleguizamo)

Cain told Fox News Digital he’s getting into ICE work for the same reasons he got into law enforcement ten years ago—he says it’s about protecting people.

He added, “Our ICE agents, who are amazing men and women, are incredible. And they’re black, and they are brown and green and yellow and Japanese and whatever. They’re a cross-section of Americans.”

Then he doubled down on his stance, saying ICE is “doing the job of deporting people who are here illegally.”

Cain first blew up in the 90s as Clark Kent on Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, but lately he’s been more about politics than prime time.

Leguizamo, meanwhile, has been vocal about his views on immigration and representation for years, and clearly he’s not vibing with Cain’s latest career move.

Boosie Badazz Refuses To Cancel Shows Ahead Of Federal Plea Deal

By: London JennnCategory: News

Boosie Badazz isn’t letting a looming federal court date stop him from hitting the stage or throwing his annual pool bash, and he’s reassuring fans, it’s business as usual—for now.

The Baton Rouge rapper made it clear this week that all of his scheduled performances — including his signature summer party — are still happening, despite his upcoming surrender tied to a federal plea deal.

“My DM full,” he began. “A lot of people in my DM tripping about my shows in September because I go for my plea August 26th. But that ain’t how it go in fed court. Once you take a plea, your sentencing ain’t till two, three months after it. So I’m gonna be at every show, of course.”

Boosie also confirmed that his annual pool party is still on deck.

“Pool party still going on,” he said. “It’s still gonna be crazy. Link in the bio for the tickets. But, all my fans across the world, it’s just a plea that I’m doing on August 26. That’s it, baby.”

He added once more, “I’ll be at all my shows.”

A post shared by @boosieig2024

The legal trouble stems from a June 2023 incident in San Diego, where federal agents discovered firearms in Boosie’s vehicle.

Because of a 2011 felony drug conviction, he was charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm — a federal offense.

Though California state charges were dismissed earlier this year following legal debates over Second Amendment rights, federal prosecutors refiled the case with adjustments.

Boosie Reveals He Took Plea Deal After Speaking To Family

That led to Boosie’s decision to accept a plea deal, which he announced earlier this month on social media.

“JUST ACCEPTED A PLEA FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ON MY GUN CASE. I THOUGHT THIS CASE WAS OVER AND I WAS GOING TO GET ON WITH MY LIFE BUT ‘GOD DON’T MAKE MISTAKES’ AND I’M TIRED OF FIGHTING!!” he wrote. “TALKED TO MY FAMILY AND THIS IS THE RIGHT DECISION. TO ALL MY FANS ACROSS THE WORLD SAY A PRAYER…”

The specific terms of the plea agreement, including sentencing guidelines or what charges he admitted to, have not been made public.

A court hearing is scheduled for August 26.

Rapper Snaps After Spotting A Baby In The Crowd At Mexico City Show

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

Maluma cut his concert short in Mexico City to go full dad-mode on a woman who brought her baby to the gig, and he wasn’t cool about it either.

Right in the middle of his set, Maluma spotted the infant and slammed the brakes on the music.

He locked eyes with the mom and said, “Ma’am, I’m going to tell you something. Don’t bring him here; leave him there. With all due respect, I’m already a father. What’s he? A year old?”

The vibe shifted real quick as the crowd watched him go off.

“Do you think it’s a good idea to bring a one-year-old baby to a concert where the decibels are really loud, where the sound is really loud?”

He kept going, calling her out for swinging the kid around like a stuffed animal.

“Your baby doesn’t even know what he’s doing here. Next time, protect his ears or something. That’s really irresponsible, and you were waving the baby around like he was a toy. That kid really doesn’t want to be there.”

Maluma, who has a 17-month-old daughter with girlfriend Susana Gómez, made it super clear he’d never pull that stunt.

“I would never” bring his own child to a show, he said. “So next time, be a little more aware.”

Once the clip started bouncing around online, folks were split.

Some backed Maluma for speaking up about safety, while others thought he went too hard and embarrassed the woman in front of everyone.

No word yet if the mom rolled out after the warning or stuck around with the baby in tow.

Metro Boomin Storms Out Of His Own Listening Party In Atlanta

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Metro Boomin left his own album listening party in Atlanta over the weekend after a packed stage full of men refused to move, preventing him and other artists from performing.

The event, held to celebrate his latest project A Futuristic Summa, spiraled into disarray when dozens of attendees swarmed the stage and ignored repeated requests to clear the area. Video from the night shows Metro grabbing the mic and saying, “If you did not rap or make a beat on this MF tape, please get tf off the stage.” Despite the direct message, no one budged.

Unable to perform or regain control of the crowd, Metro exited the venue entirely, reportedly taking more than 20 artists with him. Only after his departure did the crowd begin to thin out, but by then the damage was done.

A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk)

The incident has since sparked criticism online, with many calling out the behavior of the male attendees who refused to step down. Social media users labeled them “groupies” and blamed them for contributing to the decline of party culture in Hip-Hop spaces.

The chaos comes on the heels of a lukewarm reception for Metro’s other recent release. Metro Boomin Presents, a compilation album featuring various artists, debuted at No. 23 on the Billboard 200, moving just mover 23,000 units in its first week. The modest numbers have raised eyebrows given Metro’s reputation as one of rap’s most in-demand producers.

Metro Boomin’s 2022 album, Heroes & Villains, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with more than 185,000 total album equivalent units moved in its inaugural week. Guest features included John Legend, Future, Chris Brown, Don Toliver, Travis Scott, 21 Savage, Young Nudy, Young Thug, the Weeknd, Mustafa, ASAP Rocky, the late Takeoff and Gunna.

Metro’s two collaborative albums with Future, 2024’s We Don’t Trust You and We Still Don’t Trust You, both landed at No. 1 as well, with the former being certified platinum by the RIAA.

Born Leland Tyler Wayne, Metro Boomin rose to prominence in the mid-2010s, producing chart-topping hits for artists like Future, 21 Savage and Drake. Known for his dark, cinematic sound and producer tag “If Young Metro don’t trust you…,” he’s become a defining figure in modern rap production.

Tina Knowles Praises Beyoncé’s Strength—Takes Aim At Industry Drama

By: London JennnCategory: News

Tina Knowles didn’t hold back this weekend as she honored her daughter Beyoncé with a heartfelt Instagram tribute that doubled as a not-so-subtle critique of unnamed industry players.

In a lengthy post paired with a montage of Beyoncé’s performances from childhood to her Cowboy Carter era, Knowles celebrated her daughter’s discipline, humility and integrity—while calling out the messy behavior she says Beyoncé has never stooped to.

“As a Kid with big dreams, She made a commitment to work hard! Polish her craft, take vocal lessons, dance lessons, sacrifice, focus, train, and mind her own damn business and does not mess with anybody,” Knowles wrote.

Knowles praised Beyoncé’s loyalty to family and refusal to tear others down for clout.

“She sticks close to her family. She never gossiped or put anybody else down, to make herself feel better.”

Knowles also highlighted Beyoncé’s reverence for the legends who came before her and her commitment to giving back.

“She was inspired and respectful and paid homage to those great artists that came before her. She gave back to her community.”

Then came the sharper edges. Knowles made it clear Beyoncé has never used controversy or drama to stay relevant.

“She has never used someone else’s name to get publicity or attention for herself. No one lives rent free in her head because she is obsessed with them or jealous of them.”

She continued, drawing a line between Beyoncé and others in the entertainment world who thrive on negativity.

“She has also NEVER constantly criticized other’s looks, talent, and character. Has never lied on, or started false rumors about others, has never started one-sided beefs with anyone, to get her name on mainstream media outlets or be relevant or in the current news.”

Knowles ended her message with a pointed sign-off that felt aimed at anyone who’s used Beyoncé’s name for headlines.

“She chose to rely on her talent and hard work and her own name. But if she has helped you stay relevant or to get your name in the press. I’m very happy she could help you. You’re welcome! God bless You,” she added. “Ps. if you haven’t done any of these things, then this does not apply to you. But if the shoe fits, I’m sure we will be hearing from you. 10,9,8,7,6,5 ,4 ,3 ,2,1.”

Halle Berry’s Ex David Justice Says Marriage Struggled Because She Didn’t Cook Or Clean

By: London JennnCategory: Rumors

David Justice faced a wave of online backlash after revealing on the “All the Smoke” podcast that his marriage to Halle Berry ended because she didn’t fit his idea of a traditional housewife.

“So, I’m looking at my mom and I’m a Midwest guy,” Justice said during the interview, which aired last week. “So, in my mind, I’m thinking a wife at that time should cook, clean, traditional, you know?

He added that Berry’s lack of domestic habits made him question their future together. “Then I’m thinking, ‘OK, if we have kids, is this the woman I want to have kids with and build a family with?’”

“At that time, as a young guy, she don’t cook, don’t clean, don’t really seem like motherly, and then we start having issues,” he continued.

The former MLB star also denied long-standing rumors that cheating or outside relationships played a role in their split. “I’ll say this, we never had any issues about any women, other men.”

He said Berry’s demanding acting schedule and their time apart added to the strain. He also admitted the relationship might have survived if they had sought professional help. “Honestly, we probably could have made it if I knew about therapy.”

Justice said Berry proposed to him just five months into dating, and he agreed despite having doubts. “I said OK, but I don’t know if my heart was really into it. But I didn’t want to make her feel bad and say no.”

He also expressed frustration over public assumptions that he was abusive during their marriage.

“The most painful thing,” Justice said, “is she let the world think it was me. And I never appreciated that.”

Berry never publicly named the person who caused her hearing loss, which she disclosed in a 1996 interview.

However, the timing of her comments, which came shortly after her divorce from Justice, led to speculation that he was responsible.

Berry never confirmed this, but she did file a temporary restraining order against Justice in 1997, citing concerns for her “personal safety and well-being.” Justice and Berry divorced that year after four years of marriage.

Social media users didn’t hold back after hearing Justice’s remarks.

One user wrote, “Lol, he really thought she was gonna stop her acting career and become a housewife.” Another added, “If she’s a famous actor and he’s a professional baseball player why do you need her to cook and clean if you can afford a chef with maids ????”

Others pointed to the restraining order and questioned why Justice continues to speak publicly about Berry.

“Halle Berry had to get a restraining order against this man. The fact that 25 years on, he is still constantly disparaging her, proves that he’s a creep,” one person posted.

Finesse2tymes unloaded raw emotion and unresolved family drama in a freestyle posted online over the weekend, comparing himself to Eminem amid a public fallout with his mother, who now says she’s homeless after he allegedly cut her off financially.

The Memphis rapper pounded out a beat on furniture while delivering an a cappella verse that peeled back layers of personal pain.

“Five years family problems, now I feel like Eminem,” he rapped, referencing the Detroit MC’s famously strained relationship with his own mother.

Without naming names, Finesse2tymes questioned the absence of support during his lowest moments, including when he was facing a decade in prison. “Where were you?” he asked in the verse, before abruptly walking away from the camera, visibly overwhelmed.

The freestyle came days after his mother, Pluria Alexander, launched a GoFundMe campaign seeking $6,000 for moving expenses after being evicted in Texas.

In the fundraiser description, she claimed her son had stopped helping her financially following a dispute.

“I’m reaching out for help as I face eviction and the urgent need to find a new place to live,” she wrote. “Until recently, my son was helping me pay my bills, but after a falling out, I’ve been left to manage everything on my own.”

Alexander said this isn’t the first time her son’s actions have left her without a home. “This is the third time my son’s actions have left me homeless and each time it becomes harder to recover,” she added.

She also said she previously had a stable life in Memphis, with a job, a car and her own place, before relocating to Texas. Now, she says she’s battling anxiety, depression and what she described as “narcissistic abuse” from her son.

In a follow-up video, Alexander criticized Finesse2tymes for his spending habits. She also accused him of being upset because she called him a disrespectful narcissist.

“You spent $4 million on n##### and b######. Weed. Flying muthafuckas back and forth. That’s what you spent your money on. Jewelry. You ain’t spent it on family,” she said. “And when a muthafucka do get something, guess what? they got to do something for it. It ain’t genuine. Keep your money.”

DDG Nearly Did A Backflip During Swatting Arrest At Paintball Event

By: London JennnCategory: News

DDG was hauled off in cuffs at a desert paintball tournament after a swatting prank triggered a full-blown police response, turning a $25,000 competition into a viral spectacle.

The rapper and YouTuber was briefly detained Saturday (August 10) after law enforcement received a fake emergency call suggesting a serious threat at the event.

According to DDG, officers arrived in formation, weapons drawn, and ordered DDG to surrender.

“They came in tactical stance,” DDG said during a livestream recounting the moment. “I’m spooked,” he recalled. “It’s nowhere to go.”

The surreal moment was captured across TikTok, Instagram and Twitter, with clips showing DDG being escorted in handcuffs.

The footage quickly spread online, prompting a wave of support and the hashtag “FREE DDG” to trend.

The rapper was eventually released without charges after authorities confirmed the call was a hoax.

Swatting, a criminal act involving false reports to provoke armed police responses, has increasingly targeted public figures, including Nicki Minaj, iShowSpeed and Adin Ross.

DDG gave a dramatic play-by-play of the incident, revealing that the pressure almost got the better of him.

“My intrusive thought was telling me to do a backflip,” he said. “And I was genuinely considering it …That’s got to be the devil, right?”

The tournament, held at an outdoor venue in the desert, was a professional-level event with a $25,000 prize pool, adding to the chaos and attention surrounding the incident.
