NLE Choppa unleashed a diss track aimed at NBA YoungBoy Thursday night, but instead of applause, the internet erupted in laughter over his cowboy getup and awkward choreography.
The Memphis rapper, now performing under the alias NLE The Great, dropped “Hello Revenge” on November 28, a four-minute verbal attack that was meant to escalate his ongoing feud with YoungBoy.
But it wasn’t the lyrics that got people talking, it was the visuals.
Clad in a black cowboy hat, matching leather gloves, a bandana, and a full Western-inspired outfit, NLE strutted and moonwalked through the video with dance moves that many online said resembled a low-budget Michael Jackson impersonation.
The video, directed by Bryson Potts and Travis Payne, was intended to be theatrical. Instead, it became meme material.
“Can you imagine how hard it was to edit out the sounds of everybody laughing on the set 🤣 even the dude behind the camera was thinking ‘are we really putting this out?’” one user wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
Another viewer quipped, “Broseph needs to just come out of whatever closet he got that get up out of,” referencing the name of the album, Fresh Out the Closet.
The backlash didn’t stop at the outfit or the choreography. Some questioned NLE’s artistic direction and even his identity.
“Idk what phase this n#### going through rn but it need to pass expeditiously,” one person posted.
In the track, NLE raps, “Rap went dead, I’ma bring it back alive / N####, I’m the truth, but the devil is a lie / YB, Louis V. belt to his spine / Anybody with him better get ’em ‘fore he cross the line, n####.” The bar about the belt references his previous video “KO,” where he beat a YoungBoy lookalike with a designer belt.
But even with the aggressive lyrics, the internet couldn’t take the delivery seriously.
“Hello Revenge” follows YoungBoy’s “Zero IQ Freestyle.”
The rivalry between the two artists took off in music and videos in October with NLE’s “KO,” a diss that sampled 2Pac’s “Hit Em Up” and labeled YoungBoy as “poison” to the youth. d in my hand, and I was
Despite the serious tone of the feud, the internet’s reaction to “Hello Revenge” has turned the moment into a spectacle. The video, posted on YouTube, continues to rack up views, many of them from people watching just to see the cowboy outfit and dance moves.

Papoose’s Bars On Wheels arrives as a Wynn Records short film that captures the Brooklyn lyricist in a way audiences have never witnessed. The BK MC who turned car freestyles into internet must-sees now brings that same fire into a cinematic format built to amplify everything that makes his pen legendary. The YouTube video rapidly approaches a million views in under 24 hours.
For years, Papoose’s driver-seat rhyme dumps spread online with the force of controlled blasts, raw surgical precision and viral momentum. Each freestyle reminded the culture why skill still matters and why his name continues to resonate across generations of Hip-Hop listeners. Bars On Wheels takes that signature intensity and elevates it, reshaping the car-freestyle concept into something broader, richer, and visually charged.
The film pushes past the cramped interior of a parked vehicle and deeper into Papoose’s creative engine. This is a reintroduction. The short explores the root of his discipline, his devotion to structure and wordplay, and the relentless drive that made him one of Hip-Hop’s most respected technicians. What once lived in a car window frame now expands into a full cinematic landscape.
Tighten your seatbelt. Pap is back.
Because Papoose isn’t only celebrated for technical brilliance — he carries one of the sharpest and most emotionally resonant pens the culture has ever produced.

Jay-Z closed the book on a 10-year paternity battle in Los Angeles federal court by winning outright dismissal and then choosing not to pursue attorney fees against Rymir Satterthwaite, the man who claimed to be his son.
According to newly filed court records, the Hip-Hop mogul let a court-imposed deadline pass without requesting reimbursement for legal costs.
Earlier this week, the judge officially shut down the case, confirming that no further action would be taken and that the window to seek fees had expired.
The case was brought by paralegal Lillie Coley, the legal guardian and godmother of New Jersey resident Satterthwaite. Coley alleged that Jay-Z had avoided paternity testing for years and manipulated the legal system to dodge accountability.
Her complaint mirrored Satterthwaite’s long-standing claim that his late mother, Wanda, had a relationship with the rapper in the early 1990s.
They argued Wanda was underage at the time, which they said made the situation more serious. Before landing in California, the case had already bounced through New Jersey courts for years.
Wanda initially tried to bring a paternity suit there, but judges ruled the state didn’t have jurisdiction to compel Jay-Z to participate. Later filings by Coley and Satterthwaite accused New Jersey officials of shielding a high-profile defendant and mishandling their claims.
By mid-2025, the court had grown weary. A July 31 order gave Jay-Z 30 days to file for attorney fees or risk the case being closed for good. A new order confirmed that the billionaire had never filed that motion, and the court closed the matter.
Jay-Z’s legal team had previously argued the claims were part of a “decades long” pattern of harassment and emphasized that multiple courts had already rejected them.
Still, he declined to pursue a financial penalty against Satterthwaite, effectively sparing him from a potentially massive legal bill.
As for Rymir Satterthwaite, he seems to want to keep poking the bear and doesn’t seem to be getting the court’s message as he continues to blast Jay-Z and the legal system.
There are so many questions surrounding Q Parker, the storied member of 90s R&B group 112. Lucky for you, fair reader, we have the answers. First, Q is on a solo mission. With his new R&B album Evolution of Romance, the singing sensation continues a chapter that does not include his former bandmates. With the project, he discusses redefining masculinity and infuses the legacy of Bad Boy Records.
The Atlanta-based singer reveals The Notorious B.I.G.’s influence, the early days at Bad Boy, and the emotional complexity of Sean “Diddy” Combs. go through his current legal turmoil. Parker also revealed that he played Diddy several songs from Evolution of Romance the day before the mogul was taken into custody — a moment that now carries even more weight as he reflects on loyalty, growth, and the evolution of his own artistry.
Clearly tired from work and promo, Chuck Jigsaw Creekmur and Q chop it up over all the questions fans have including the reunion of the seminal group.
AllHipHop: You’ve got a new album out — Evolution of Romance.
Q Parker: Yes, yes. I’m really feeling good about it. I’m loving the energy around the project. I’ve coined myself “the romance dealer” because I’m out here campaigning and dealing this romance to those who want it, need it, and want to incorporate it into their relationships. We’re going door to door, city to city, pushing this romance.
AllHipHop: You sound like a dealer… not that kind of dealer, but like Herbalife or Avon or Tupperware.
Q Parker: (Laughs) Avon and Tupperware — I’ll take that.
AllHipHop: I like the approach. Hand-to-hand. Why do you think that’s important?
Q Parker: Because people still want to feel something. They want a real experience with the artist. Everything now is fast-paced and non-social, even though we live in a social media world. People still want real social interaction. I love the road. I love virtual interviews too, but I really enjoy being face-to-face. With a mission centered around romance, adding the physical component is a winning combination. I’m committed to it.
AllHipHop: I really wished we could’ve connected in New York. That was internal stuff on our side, so I apologize.
Q Parker: All good. No need for an apology.
AllHipHop: When you talk about romance and men, it gets tricky. What advice would you give men in 2025 to do better?
Q Parker: Presence. And don’t be afraid to operate in all the qualities and characteristics we were blessed with. We’ve got to get rid of stigmas, “don’t cry,” “don’t be sensitive,” “don’t be vulnerable.” We are our best selves when we’re vulnerable, sensitive, and expressing true emotions. Getting rid of those compartments does a disservice to us and to our relationships.
AllHipHop: Yeah, it’s a delicate balance. Women want both sides. They want you to be able to defend them if something goes down, but they don’t want you too hardcore or crossing into toxic masculinity.
Q Parker: Exactly. There’s a time to be tough and direct, but also a time to listen, receive, and be delicate with the person you love. We’ve got to tap into everything that makes us who we are — not just the toughness, but the sensitivity too.
AllHipHop: You came up in an era where hip-hop and R&B were blowing up together. What are your thoughts now — individually and together?
Q Parker: Each genre should be respected for what it is. There’s a time and place for all of it. You don’t have to love one and hate the other. 112 was hip-hop and R&B — we could do both. Fans loved that blend. Both genres are necessary. If we let them operate in their greatness, we’ll be okay.
AllHipHop: What are your thoughts on the state of R&B now?
Q Parker: I respect it. I give grace and space to the artists creating today versus my era. I’m sure when we came out in 1996, the O’Jays or the Whispers didn’t love our version of R&B. But they gave us space to interpret the genre our way. Now, as an elder statesman, I won’t condemn something just because it’s not what I rock with. I don’t have to love it, but I always respect it.
AllHipHop: Back in the day, I was hardcore hip-hop — as you can see, I’m wearing a Wu-Tang hat. But I liked 112, and Biggie was amazing. What was Big’s impact on 112 and your success? What was it like working with him?
Q Parker: Man…where do I start? Biggie impacted my life in a major way. I’ll always feel indebted to him. He introduced us to the world and stamped us as soon as he rhymed on our first single. That was the best introduction anyone could get.
Outside the music, he had a gentle, big heart. He made sure we had money in our pockets, food in the studio, access to phones — whatever we needed. He bought us our first goose-down coats during the ’96 Blizzard because we were from the South and didn’t know cold like that. He had us laced in Brooklyn Mint. He’d hand us $100s just because. As teenagers, that was huge.
AllHipHop: You took me back with that ’96 Blizzard. Only time I ever got stranded in the snow.
Q Parker: (Laughs) Yeah, man.
AllHipHop: Of course, we’ve got to talk about Diddy. But before that, let me ask about Bad Boy in general. Y’all were the youngest on the roster, but still a force. What was your overall experience?
Q Parker: It was exciting — and nerve-wracking. We really were a family. We looked after each other. Supported each other in the studio and on the road. Bad Boy was the sweet spot. We accomplished a lot.
AllHipHop: Earlier this year you said seeing Diddy the way he is now was “hurtful.” It’s been a few months. How do you feel now?
Q Parker: I still feel the same. I don’t believe in cancel culture. When someone makes a mistake, you don’t just throw them away. When I’m down with you, I’m down with you. That doesn’t mean I condone your behavior — it means I support you. Whether it’s walking with you through rehab or writing letters to someone you harmed. Nobody’s perfect, and I don’t have a heaven or hell to put anyone in. I’m not going to be super judgmental about someone who changed my life.
AllHipHop: Have you had any communication with Diddy?
Q Parker: The day before he was taken away, he gave me his blessings on Evolution of Romance. I played him 3–4 songs to get his opinion. I still hold him in high regard. He has an incredible musical ear. That ended up being the day before he was taken away.
AllHipHop: I’m sure y’all worked closely in the early days.
Q Parker: Absolutely. I learned so much from him — marketing, promotion, how to work hard. I still carry those lessons and pass them on to people I mentor today.
AllHipHop: I’m seeing little videos. It looks like he’s ready for a comeback. It’s crazy, but it might be epic.
Q Parker: Knowing him, whenever he’s released, there’ll be a celebration. He doesn’t do anything small. I look forward to seeing him celebrated — and celebrating.
AllHipHop: Pivoting a little — two members of 112 were on Tamron Hall recently. And two members of Total. Two incomplete groups being presented as the groups. Fans are calling for a reunion. We’re approaching 30 years. What are your thoughts?
Q Parker: I’m always open and hopeful for a reconcile and a reunion — celebrating what we did. I ask the fans to be patient, and also give me space and grace because I’m on a singular journey right now. It’s not either/or — there can be a 112 reunion and people can support Q Parker.
AllHipHop: It feels like you are getting love — live and musically. But people still want that nostalgia.
Q Parker: And I’m not mad at that. Nostalgia is real. But we can’t stay there — we also have to evolve. I don’t want to look back one day wishing I’d done more.
AllHipHop: Respectfully, I hope you can do both — New Edition–style. Group thing, solo thing. Has there been any communication? A 30-year reunion has financial opportunities too.
Q Parker: I’ve reached out multiple times personally and through third parties. I haven’t gotten a response. I haven’t spoken to Mike and Slim in a while. But I remain hopeful. I’d love a reunion more than the fans would. But I can’t get stuck in that. I’m romance dealing right now with a new project. I keep a little space open in case a reunion happens, but until then, I have to move forward.
AllHipHop: One of my friends — Nicole, who used to work for Russell Simmons — asked: What was Bad Boy like after Biggie died?
Q Parker: Very sad. Big and Craig Mack were the foundations. As the “starting five” — Craig, Big, Faith, Total, and 112 — losing our big brother changed everything. The walls were quiet. He filled every room with his voice and humor. Losing him led to us recording “I’ll Be Missing You” as an outlet. I’m proud that our connection ties us to the story of hip-hop and R&B forever.
AllHipHop: Another rumor…did Def Jam ever court you?
Q Parker: After our Bad Boy deal, we signed to Def Jam. We did two albums there. We were free agents after album three and wanted to test the waters. Def Jam made us an offer we couldn’t refuse.
AllHipHop: Business-wise, now that you’re independent and know both systems, what’s the difference?
Q Parker: Knowledge. When you know better, you do better. Understanding the industry, the indie side — it all leads to more success. I mirror what I saw at record companies. My team, Paramount Collective Ventures, meets weekly like the labels used to: marketing updates, radio, street team, promotions. I run my independent journey the same way.
AllHipHop: And you’re in your content space, which I love. What prompted you to create that?
Q Parker: Because I can’t get to every city. I want Zoom and virtual calls to feel personal, like you’re kicking it with your homie. Good dialogue, good conversation.
AllHipHop: What’s something people don’t know about you?
Q Parker: I’m a researcher of music. I study documentaries, success, and failures. And I love carpentry. I’ve got every tool Home Depot sells. My house is full of stuff I built myself.
AllHipHop: I respect that. My dad was a carpenter. He built our house. I didn’t get all his talent, but some. Will you create other content in the space?
Q Parker: Absolutely. My studio, film space, editing. I do TikTok Live weekly. I can shoot photos. It’s a multipurpose room where I can get things done without outsourcing.
AllHipHop: The platforms have changed…TV, radio replaced by YouTube, Spotify, algorithms. My algorithm almost never sends me R&B. What’s life like for you in the digital algorithm?
Q Parker: I understand evolution. We can’t stay the same. It’s about knowledge, understanding the system, finding loopholes, and mastering what you do. The goal is to get the music into as many houses and hearts as possible, physically, digitally, or socially. You can’t ignore it.
AllHipHop: I appreciate your time. The game needs classic R&B, not Hip-Hop-R&B hybrids or melodic rappers. Respect to them, but we need what you do. (Jokes on a last massive yawn.)
Q Parker: (Laughs) Man, when you’re romance dealing, it’s early mornings and late nights. But every opportunity to talk about my project, whether it’s an introduction or a reintroduction. I don’t take it lightly. Brick by brick is our motto. Everyone counts. I give everyone the necessary time so they can be champions of this romance evolution. Thank you for your time.
AllHipHop: Thank you, brother. Take care. Hope to see you down the road.
Gravy and Thanksgiving rumors go hand-in-hand, but we are not taking about your Glammy’s leftovers. We’re talking about a beloved Hip-Hop icon and a man who once portrayed him on the big screen. The Notorious B.I.G., forever etched into the granite of Hip-Hop history, is no longer walking this Earth, yet his influence keeps echoing. And right in the middle of that echo chamber is the actor who played him, Jamal “Gravy” Woolard.
Now, let’s be real. Gravy did his thing in Notorious, but the movie didn’t exactly send shockwaves through Hollywood’s box office. Still, the man stayed grinding. He reinvented himself, leaned into acting, and built such a lane on Tubi that folks joke runs it. So, we applaud the pivot.
But this new rumor popping up online…people are not clapping. Word on the curb claims he’s out here performing as Biggie. Not performing Biggie songs in tribute, but performing as Biggie. If you take the headline at face value, they’re saying he’s “selling out shows” as the Notorious B.I.G. See below.
Let’s process this for a second.
A sold-out show? For who? For what? If we’re talking a venue that holds maybe 300 to 500 people, OK, cool. That’s a solid night, especially for a walk-through or a brief performance. But let’s not act like this man is doing 90 minutes of “Juicy” and “One More Chance.” That’s fan fiction…gotta be!
What likely happened is simple. He popped up at a club. The DJ dropped a Biggie classic. The crowd vibed. Maybe he grabbed the mic. And somebody whipped out a phone and the internet cooked up a clickable headline.
If Gravy were out here trying to make an actual touring act based on Biggie’s persona, the estate would have lawyers parachuting into his living room. LOL! Ain’t no way. Cease and desist letters everywhere. Nobody is risking Christmas with Biggie’s estate.
And honestly, Gravy has moved on. He doesn’t even go by “Gravy” anymore. It’s Jamal Woolard these days. He’s built a career on his own two feet, not Biggie’s shadow. So, hold the gravy on that jive-turkey rumor. HA!
That’s the rumor. Slice it how you want. I can keep doing these T-day themed rumors if y’all want.
Cardi B was casually labeled “mi esposa” by Stefon Diggs in a video that quickly lit up social media, intensifying speculation that the rapper and NFL star may have quietly gotten married.
The clip shows Diggs referring to Cardi as “my wife” in Spanish while chatting casually. The moment was brief but loud enough to send the internet into overdrive.
Neither Cardi nor Diggs has addressed the comment publicly, but the video has only stoked the growing speculation that they might already be married.
Stefon Diggs all smiles as he addresses Cardi B as his wife in Spanish while requesting for a hoodie for her and their newborn son 🥹
The chatter started after eagle-eyed fans spotted a ring on Cardi B’s left finger in pictures she posted while holding her son.
The Bronx-born rapper has historically kept her personal life under tight control, but the ring and Diggs’s comments are making people wonder if something major happened behind the scenes.
Their relationship, which began in late 2023, reached a climax after Cardi B delivered earlier this month, on November 4. Cardi made the announcement almost two weeks later.
What should have been a celebration took a sharp turn after Diggs confirmed the paternity of another baby and Offset, Cardi’s estranged husband and father of her three children, jokingly claimed Cardi’s latest kid was his, since they are technically still married.
That did not go over well. Cardi B accused Offset of abuse; he apologized and eventually deactivated his Instagram account.
As for Cardi, she is handling the drama very well. This year has been great for Cardi, who dropped her second album, Am I The Drama?, to critical acclaim and added a new member to her family.
“This year I have sooo much to be thankful for!!! I can’t thank God enough,” Cardi B wrote on X.com. “Thankful for all the hard work I put in and paid off wit a successful album, thankful for my fans around the world…I don’t even like callin yall fans more like third cousins around the globe…thankful for the people that believe in my work and business so they put 100% behind me, thankful for my friends that are always there for me, thankful for my village that love my kids so much, thankful for my kids that I love soo much… I love studying their personalities and I learn something new from them everyday, thankful for a safe delivery and this lil boy that stole my heart…and thankful for love.”
This year I have sooo much to be thankful for!!! I can’t thank God enough..

Popular TikTok influencer Marquaythegoat died in Columbus after experiencing serious breathing trouble just weeks after a car crash in Atlanta that left him dealing with persistent pain.
The 24-year-old TikTok creator, born Marquay Collins, was found unresponsive at his Georgia home earlier this week. Muscogee County Coroner Buddy Bryan confirmed the death, noting that Collins had recently complained of headaches and other symptoms following a car accident earlier in the month.
According to Bryan, Marquaythegoat “had been involved in an auto accident in Atlanta earlier this month and then began complaining of headaches and other pains.” The official cause of death has not yet been released.
Marquaythegoat had amassed over 7 million TikTok followers with his upbeat food reviews, comedy sketches and everyday moments that connected with viewers across the country.
His content often spotlighted local eateries and Georgia culture, helping him build a loyal following while staying rooted in his hometown of Columbus. His mother, Sonja Collins, who also has a significant TikTok presence with more than 4 million followers, announced the devastating news in a heartfelt post.
“My heart is broken. My baby, my last one, my SnuggaBug, my Marquay, is no longer here with me. He was the sweetest person he didn’t have a mean bone in his body. I needed him longer than God allowed me to have him,” she wrote.
He was recently profiled by the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer, which called him “one of the most successful content creators by any metric.”
His mother shared another message on Thanksgiving morning, reflecting on her grief and her son’s faith.
“I am grieving. Yes I’m going to post my baby, I love him and I miss him. My heart is broken, one day it will heal but I will still miss my son Marquay. Matthew 5:4 Tbh, if I didn’t go to church, I don’t know where I would be. One thing I know is Marquay loved God, his family, friends and church, I’m not saying church is the answer to everything, but God is. I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving.”
As the investigation into his death continues, tributes continue to flood his comment sections.
Damn Marquaythegoat died!?? Damn man. His videos was cool sometimes and a young GA boy. RIP
almost balling over a TikTok mom i watch losing her adult son last week, parents shouldnt have to bury their children its so sad especially during the holidays jeez shout out to marquaythegoat rip
A Miami woman visiting Kansas City breaks down the ‘worst’ first Hinge date she’s ever been on. From the tone of the comments section, she isn’t the only one frustrated with the current dating scene.
“I’ve never had a first date go this bad,” said TikTok creator Daisy (@sunny_daze222) in a video she posted on Nov. 4.
In the video, Daisy explains that while she is a single mother, she doesn’t include it in her dating profile to avoid attracting people with bad intentions. However, she does include the information on social media and always shares her Instagram before a date.
Miami Woman Details Hinge Date with Italian Soccer Player
In this case, Daisy made plans to go on a date with an Italian soccer player who she met on Hinge. When they exchanged Instagram handles, she noticed that he only had about 100 followers. But she interpreted this as a green flag indicating that he doesn’t spend a lot of time online.
Unfortunately, the date didn’t start out well, because his looks didn’t match his profile. “He didn’t look bad, he just didn’t look like his pictures,” she explains.
Beyond appearance, she also says they were not compatible. The conversation was stale, she said. “So terrible.”
“This was the weirdest first date I’ve ever been on,” she adds, mentioning that she kept trying to have a conversation and he hardly responded. “And we sat there for two hours having the driest conversation ever.”
Does This Experience Represent a Dating Trend?
In the comments section, viewers expressed frustration with the state of the dating world and apps.
“It’s always the Hinge dates I swear,” wrote one commenter. “I went on one and never did again.”
“I haven’t heard one good thing about Hinge,” wrote another.
Other commenters weighed in on navigating the dating world as a single parent. “I’m a single mom so my time is limited and I definitely don’t like wasting it on a bad date,” wrote one person. “So I like to FaceTime them a few times before meeting in person to see if there’s a connection there. It’s worked pretty well for me! I haven’t had a bad date since.”
Daisy’s experience is not just anecdotal, but reflects a broader trend in the world of online dating. According to recent data from SSRS, 39% of U.S. adults have used a dating site or app, though only 7% say they’re actively using one right now. Nearly 65% of 18–29-year-olds report having used a dating app at some point.
But even as usage remains high among young people, satisfaction is slipping. Forbes Health reports that among current and recent users, 44% say they’re on apps to find a long-term partner, while 40% are in it for more casual dating, yet many still feel like they’re getting nothing out of their swipes.
On top of that, burnout is real. A substantial portion of users report using their apps less frequently than before. In 2024, 33% of users said they were using dating apps less often than in previous years.
All Hip Hop reached out to Daisy via TikTok direct messages and Hinge via email for comment.
Max B is hitting the ground running in Newark after walking out of Northern State Prison on November 9. Max just revealed he’s linking up with French Montana to revive their Coke Wave series with a fresh installment titled Coke Wave 3.5: Narcos.
The Harlem-born rapper wasted no time reconnecting with French and longtime producer Harry Fraud, sharing footage from their studio session that confirmed the long-awaited reunion.
The trio’s chemistry appears untouched by time, reigniting a sound that helped define New York’s underground Hip-Hop scene in the late 2000s.
Max B had spent 16 years behind bars after being convicted in connection with a deadly robbery attempt in New Jersey. His original 75-year sentence was reduced in 2016 after his legal team successfully challenged the trial on grounds of a conflict of interest. He was released at age 47.
Now free, Max B is diving headfirst into music.
His new solo album, Public Domain 7: The First Purge (Patient Zero), is set to drop on December 3, led by the single “No More Tricks,” produced by Dame Grease.
The Coke Wave mixtapes have long been a staple in both artists’ catalogs. Their 2009 debut tape helped launch French Montana’s career and cemented Max B’s influence on the wavy sound that swept through Hip-Hop in the 2010s.
Their 2019 track “Coke Wave Boys,” featuring the late Chinx, became a street favorite, and songs like “The New Wave” and “Been Around” blended street tales with melodic hooks.
Even while incarcerated, Max B remained active musically. He dropped Negro Spirituals in 2021 and collaborated with French Montana on “Hold On” in 2019.
French Montana’s career soared during Max’s absence, with albums like Excuse My French and Jungle Rules producing chart-topping hits. His Coke Boys label grew into a respected brand.
The project aims to recapture the spirit of their early collaborations while reflecting their personal growth.
Outside the booth, Max B has also been active in the community. He hosted his “Wavesgiving” outreach to residents in Harlem, helping feed those in need during Thanksgiving.
Tupac Shakur signed his Death Row Records contract inside a New York prison and told a corrections officer he didn’t care if the devil himself got him out.
That’s the claim made by Michael Christopher, a former corrections officer at Clinton Correctional Facility, who recounts his personal interactions with Shakur during the rapper’s 1995 incarceration in his memoir Tupac Behind Bars.
During an interview on The Art of Dialogue, Christopher said Tupac Shakur was visibly excited the day he inked his deal with Suge Knight and attorney David Kenner, who visited him at the prison to finalize the contract. The agreement secured his $1.4 million bail and brought him into the Death Row fold.
“He came over to my desk, which he did quite often,” Christopher said. “He showed me the contract because he was pretty proud of it. And he goes, ‘Do you know what this is?’ And I’m like, ‘No.’ And he’s like, ‘I just signed a contract with Death Row, and that’s Suge Knight, and blah, blah, blah. I’m going to get the money for my bail.’”
Christopher congratulated him, but added a warning: “Just be careful because you might have sold your soul to the devil.”
Shakur laughed and responded, “Oh, you mean like Robert Johnson, right? At the crossroads?” Christopher confirmed the reference, telling him, “Just be careful because he might call in his chips.”
Shakur didn’t flinch. He replied, “I don’t care if I signed a soul with the devil. As long as the devil can get me out of here, I don’t care who I sign with.”
Christopher believes that moment stuck with Shakur, especially since he later received a rare photograph from the rapper with the phrase “See you at the crossroads” written across the top.
The phrase echoes the legendary tale of blues musician Robert Johnson, who, according to folklore, met the devil at a crossroads to trade his soul for musical genius.
Christopher, who spoke with Tupac Shakur during visits and downtime, said the rapper was well aware of the Johnson legend.
“He was quite familiar with Robert Johnson already anyway,” Christopher said. “So he was like, ‘Damn.’ He says, ‘Yeah.’ He says, ‘I guess maybe.’ But he said he wasn’t worried.”
Johnson’s story has long been part of American music mythology.
According to the legend, he left town as a mediocre guitarist and returned a year later with unearthly skills. The price for that talent, the story goes, was his soul—and Johnson died young, at age 27.
Christopher said he saw a parallel in Shakur’s situation.
“He left town for a while, and then I think it was like a year or so later, the devil cashed it in,” he said, referring to Johnson. “And eventually he had died young. And I was just concerned with Tupac about the same kind of parallel.”
At the time of their conversation, Shakur was in the middle of serving a sentence for sexual abuse. The financial burden of incarceration had taken a toll on him, and he had shared his struggles with Christopher.
“I knew that being in prison had financially strained him somewhat,” Christopher said. “He had told me he was going through a lot of money.”
That’s why, when Shakur returned to the visiting area after signing the contract, Christopher remarked, “Looks like you’re back in business.” He grinned and replied, “Yeah.”
Christopher’s book, Tupac Behind Bars, is billed as the only title focused solely on the rapper’s time at Clinton Correctional Facility.
It offers a first-person view from a corrections officer who says he earned Shakur’s trust, delivering stories from inside the prison walls that explore how the Hip-Hop icon coped with fame, pressure and confinement.
The memoir avoids a traditional biography format and instead presents a narrative account of daily life behind bars, including Tupac’s interactions with staff and other inmates.
Christopher’s recollections add another layer to the complex story of Tupac Shakur’s time with Death Row, a label that would both elevate his career and entangle him in deeper conflicts.
Shakur was killed in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas in September 1996, less than a year after his release.
Juvenile is finding fresh momentum in one of the simplest places imaginable: the front seat of his car.
The New Orleans rap icon, known for classics like “Ha,” “Slow Motion” and other hits, says his recent habit of posting short freestyle-style clips while driving has unexpectedly created a new lane of fan engagement. Several of the videos have crossed two and three million views each — with one recent clip hitting four million.
“I’ve been posting these little flows riding in the car, and they’ve been going crazy,” Juvenile told AllHipHop during a recent conversation. “This one in particular hit four million. I’m getting ready to drop it. It’s called ‘Me B,’ featuring a girl named Genesis the Gawd. It’s crazy.”
The steady stream of “car raps” has introduced Juvenile to a new generation of listeners while reactivating longtime fans who first embraced him during Cash Money Records’ late-1990s run. The phenomenon also underscores the rapper’s enduring ability as a general of the culture.
Juvenile says the freewheeling style behind the clips isn’t a departure from his creative DNA. He compared the process to the “beautiful chaos” he and producer Mannie Fresh tapped into while crafting 400 Degreez, the platinum album that helped solidify the sound of Southern rap in the mainstream.
“Mannie kept changing the beat and I kept changing how I wanted it,” he said. “Chaos turns into something great. That’s how it’s always been.”
The rapper also reflected on the early skepticism he faced from listeners unfamiliar with New Orleans’ sound. His breakout track “Ha” confused some Northern audiences at first, but its originality, paired with massive radio support, pushed it into heavy rotation nationally.
“I knew it was something that would grow on people,” Juvenile said. “I was hoping they heard it so many times it would ruin them.”
Now, decades later, he’s watching a similar phenomenon unfold. His car-shot verses, delivered casually through the lens of a phone, have become appointment viewing on social media. And Juvenile, 49, has no plans to slow down.
“This Juvenile thing — I’m not stopping,” he said.
When a Dallas-based woman went on vacation in Denmark, she got swept up in a romance with the seemingly perfect man. In a 26-part TikTok series, she reveals how this man scammed her, and viewers are shocked.
On Nov. 14, TikTok creator Onyeka Ehie (@Onyekaehie), of The Bachelor fame, posted the first part of a long series titled “The Danish Deception.”
The series has set the internet aflame, with the first video already amassing over 7.4 million views as of Sunday.
American Woman Meets German Man at Beach Club
This whirlwind tale has more plot twists than the average person could imagine. She describes meeting her soon-to-be ex-fiancé on a trip to Europe in 2022. He claimed to be a former Olympian, with royal Danish ancestry, and a high-earning tech executive. Their relationship progressed quickly as she frequently traveled with him and they spent Christmas together. By April 2024, the couple was engaged.
Over time, she says that red flags would not stop piling up. Ehie says she lent him more than $30,000 to help with his “temporary” money problems. She later alleged he had a serious gambling addiction, and she discovered he’d also borrowed money from her family, including her parents and sister.
Ehie explained that she felt comfortable sending him money because of how generous he was at other points in the relationship. “There were a lot of times he didn’t have money in his account, but when he did he was very generous with it,” she says.
Ehie said her goal in sharing this story isn’t just to get attention, but to warn others. She even claims that since posting, many other people have come to her with similar accusations against him.
“My goal is to get this man in prison,” says Ehie. “He does not deserve to be a part of society, and I’m trying to build up as much evidence as I possibly can.”
Viewers React to the Saga
Overwhelmingly, the comments were shocked by Ehie’s saga. However, viewers were enthralled by this 3-hour+ TikTok series, fascinated by how this happened.
“Baby, this is worse than Reesa Teesa,” wrote one commenter. They are referring to a similarly viral TikTok series titled “Who TF did I marry.”
“Girl, Netflix is going to buy your story,” commented another
“What am I supposed to do with my life now??” asked one comment. This refers to the fact that she finally finished watching every installment of Ehie’s story.
All Hip Hop reached out to Ehi for comment via TikTok direct messages for comment.
Cardi B became the topic of viral debate after a resurfaced TikTok video of her eating balut eggs reignited speculation about recent cosmetic surgery.
The March 2024 clip, which initially showed the Bronx rapper respectfully trying the Filipino delicacy for the first time, resurfaced on social media this week.
But this time, viewers weren’t focused on her reaction to the food; instead, they were scrutinizing her face and neck for signs of surgical tweaks.
In the video, as she tilted her head back to eat the balut, a noticeable area just above her throat caught the internet’s attention.
That moment sparked a wave of commentary, with critics tossing around terms like “new face” and suggesting she had undergone additional facial procedures.
Supporters, however, were quick to remind onlookers that Cardi has long been open about her cosmetic enhancements. The Grammy-winning rapper has consistently spoken about her body modifications, comparing them to changing hairstyles.
The 31-year-old has a well-documented history with plastic surgery. She got breast implants at 19, followed by breast augmentation and liposuction in 2018 after giving birth to her daughter, Kulture.
Most recently, Cardi revealed she had another round of butt injection removals.
“In January right after I shot ‘Like What,’ I went and got surgery,” she said during an Instagram Live. “I got some more butt injections removed because you know it takes rounds to get your butt injections removed, and I also went to fix certain things with my fibrosis.”
Her experience with biopolymer injections dates back to 2014, when she received them in a basement, a decision she’s since warned others not to repeat. In 2022, she said she had removed 95 percent of the biopolymers, which doctors have flagged as dangerous and potentially life-threatening, often causing complications like fibrosis.
Cardi has also been transparent about undergoing rhinoplasty, liposuction and other facial procedures over the years. Her reason for being upfront? She values honesty.
“It was important for me because I don’t like lying about things,” she said in a 2019 interview. “Like when you see somebody that had lipo you think that they just go into the doctor’s and like boop, you come out and you look amazing, but it’s actually like a very long process, recovery.”
Although Cardi hasn’t confirmed any recent facial work, her track record suggests she’d likely address it directly if she had.
The balut video remains a trending topic, fueling broader conversations about appearance, transparency and the relentless public gaze on women in the spotlight.
Still looks way better than cardis REAL face 😂 Cardi had to get surgery or else she would still look like the pics above ^ 😂
A recently retired H-E-B employee reveals the biggest misconceptions about the brand and its private label offerings. Here’s why she is unabashedly biased towards the Texas retailer.
TikTok creator Brittany (@briztx) posted the “very lengthy PSA” last week. “I have a confession to make,” she said. “I worked for HEB collectively for 17 years.”
Four of those she spent in-store when she was a student in high school and college. After she got her degree, she took a break for a few years, and then later returned to H-E-B where she worked in procurement and food product development.
Brittany retired from H-E-B in June of this year. Not because she didn’t love the work anymore, but because she is the survivor of two different cancers and she decided to focus on her family, which includes three young children.
“You just kind of have to take a step back and take a minute and a breather,” she said, while acknowledging that H-E-B was incredibly supportive of her during the five-year cancer battle.
What Does This Former H-E-B Employee Love About the Brand?
Brittany’s work with the food product development team gave her an insight into how the grocer supplies the products that are sold under its private label brand names. “That’s the team that creates the products that are in the HEB, Central Market, Hill Country Fair, Higher Harvest—all the brands,” she said. “So, because of this, sure, I’m biased about HEB’s products. About the quality, the flavor, the expectations of a product on a shelf. Where I would say several other grocers don’t when it comes to their private label products.”
She acknowledged that she is “heavily biased” and said her own family members would attest to that fact. However, she said there’s a good reason for that. “You know too much about ingredients,” said Brittany. “You know too much about the effort and energy that goes into something. But also HEB cares. They care about the customer. They care about the food that they are serving to Texans. Because, ultimately, at the end of the day health and happiness is the most important. But really food insecurity is the most important and being able to afford your food.”
The ‘Biggest’ Misconception About H-E-B’s Private Label Brands
Then Brittany offered what she believes is the most common misconception when it comes to this topic. “Nothing upsets me more than when I hear people saying, ‘I mean, all food products are the same. They’re just slapping their name on an item,’” she said. “No, no, no. When I tell you about the caliber and expertise of the individuals working at H-E-B. It’s astounding. A lot of people don’t even know this exists. But there are food scientists that work for H-E-B. These people go to school for food development.”
She continued, “There’s food science. There’s chemical engineers that work at H-E-B. These are the incredibly talented, incredibly smart individuals who are putting products into these brands. And they’re not just slapping a label on it. There are standards. I’m not going to go into classified information, if you will, and give away all their trade secrets. But what I will just say is H-E-B is in a caliber of its own.”
She said that H-E-B has over 13 of its own manufacturing facilities. That allows it to make many of the foods it sells under its own brand names. “I think the biggest misnomer is a lot of people think Frito Lay makes HEB’s chips, and that’s not the case,” she said. “HEB has their own manufacturing facility for chips, for ice cream. These aren’t recipes that HEB reverse engineered. These are receipts that the food scientists created with help of the [research and development] teams that work at the labs.”
How does that make a difference? “When Blue Bell was off shelves and it was unsafe?” she said. “HEB stayed on. And it was safe for the customers to consume. HEB led the forefront in removing artificial flavors from their ice cream. So I think there’s just a lot that consumers don’t know. HEB is where it’s at.”
Viewers React to the Texas Woman’s H-E-B PSA
In the comments section of the video, viewers made it clear that Brittany isn’t the only one with a healthy dose of H-E-B love flowing through her veins.
“You’re making me want to leave public education and go work for H-E-B,” wrote one person. “I drive past like 10+ stores just to get to H-E-B,” said a second viewer.
“H-E-B doesn’t care about us as customers, they care about us as people,” wrote a third person. “Their actions speak volumes: Helping the community, environment, employees, etc.
All Hip Hop contacted Brittany via TikTok comment and direct message for comment.
@briztx A very lengthy PSA that NO ONE asked for but was heavy on my heart. This is my version of a love letter to H-E-B as an ex-partner. H-E-B is always on the tips of peoples’ lips with lots of opinions and incorrect facts so just want to get a couple of things straight here! Without divulging confidential information – BOY could I go on about all the things the public has wrong. #heb#texas#food#themoreyouknow#branding @H-E-B ♬ original sound – Brittany
Kim Kardashian received a jarring reality check during a recent episode of The Kardashians when a brain scan revealed what her doctor described as “holes” in her brain activity, just as she was deep into preparations for the California bar exam.
The SKIMS mogul sat down with Dr. Daniel Amen, a psychiatrist known for using brain imaging to assess mental health, who broke down the scan results in blunt terms.
“The low activity meant the front part of her brain wasn’t firing the way it should,” Dr. Amen told Kardashian, who appeared visibly rattled by the findings.
The scan showed reduced function in key areas responsible for focus, decision-making and memory, a fierce blow for someone trying to pass one of the most grueling professional exams in the country.
Kardashian, who had previously been diagnosed with a brain aneurysm, initially dismissed the scan’s implications. But Dr. Amen linked the diminished brain activity to the immense pressure she’s been under while studying.
“It’s stress,” he explained, connecting the dots between her academic grind and neurological fatigue.
At first, Kardashian believed the aneurysm stemmed from the emotional toll of her drawn-out divorce from Kanye West, which had played out under the glare of public scrutiny.
But over time, it became clear that the relentless pace of her legal studies was taking its own toll. Her intense bar prep routine, long hours, high stakes, and little rest had become more than just a mental strain.
According to Dr. Amen, it was physically altering how her brain functions. The scan’s “holes” weren’t literal gaps, but areas of low activity that could impact her ability to retain information and make quick decisions.
For Kardashian, who has already failed the bar exam, that’s a concerning obstacle. Dr. Amen didn’t leave her without tools. He offered her strategies to manage her stress and improve cognitive function.
But the reality remains: Kardashian is stuck in a loop where the very act of studying harder may be making it harder to succeed.
Khloe Kardashian didn’t hold back during the latest episode of The Kardashians, dropping a bold comment about her sister Kylie Jenner while filming a promo for a body-swap movie campaign.
While shooting a skit for Freakier Friday, a play on the Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis classic, Khloe was asked in a confessional which sibling she’d trade places with for a day. Her answer? Kylie, of course.
“I would Freaky Friday with Kylie. I would do that because it is Kylie Jenner. We have cool friends. We have fun animals. We live in a fairy tale,” she said, before adding a pointed remark that turned heads. “We’re not dating basketball players (because) we are going to the game court side. (Kylie) is a little bit of Snow White but a little bit of Pretty Woman. Also, I would love to know what those boobs feel like.”
The Kylie Cosmetics founder previously revealed she underwent breast augmentation in 2017, just before getting pregnant with her daughter Stormi Webster.
“I got my breasts done before Stormi… not thinking I would have a child when I was 20,” she explained during a 2023 episode of The Kardashians. “Like, they were still healing. I had beautiful breasts. Natural t**s. Just gorgeous. Perfect size, perfect everything. And I just wish, obviously, I never got them done to begin with. I would recommend anyone who is thinking about it to wait until after children.”
Kylie shares Stormi, now 7, and son Aire, 3, with rapper Travis Scott, her former partner.
Khloe, 41, has joked before about swapping lives with another sister, Kendall Jenner, in a previous season of the show.
“I want to be a supermodel, going around town, I could hook up with this person, not that Kendall does that, but I would be doing that. No kids, no responsibilities, (well) she has responsibilities, but you know what I mean,” she said at the time.
Doja Cat lit up Melbourne with a bold fashion statement and a heartfelt message, sharing photos of her cheetah print bodysuit from the stage of her “Tour Ma Vie World Tour” stop in Australia.
The Grammy-winning rapper and singer posted a carousel of images on Instagram showing off the form-fitting outfit, complete with black lace gloves, a spiky pink wig, and a chunky gemstone necklace.
She captioned the post: “THANK YOU MELBOURNE. THANK YOU CREW. THANK YOU TEAM. THANK YOU BAND. THANK YOU SAILOR. THANK YOU GREG.’
The post quickly gained traction, pulling in more than 335,000 likes and a flood of comments from her 24.7 million followers. The outfit, which hugged every curve, wasn’t just a wardrobe choice, it was a full-on moment.
With mismatched earrings and her signature flair, Doja Cat once again proved why she’s one of Hip-Hop’s most daring style risk-takers.
The performance in Melbourne marked another stop on her global “Tour Ma Vie Tour” run, supporting her fifth studio album, Vie.
The tour has been drawing attention not only for the music but also for the theatrical visuals and evolving fashion choices that have become a signature part of her shows.
Known for pushing boundaries since her early viral days, Doja Cat continues to redefine what it means to be a pop and Hip-Hop star in 2024. Her Melbourne appearance is just the latest example of her fearless approach to art, music and style.
The “Tour Ma Vie World Tour” continues with upcoming international dates throughout the spring and summer.
GloRilla turned an NBA courtside moment into a viral spectacle Tuesday night when she erupted with joy after Brandon Ingram hit a game-winning shot for the Toronto Raptors, igniting the arena.
The Memphis rapper sprang from her front-row seat with unfiltered excitement as Ingram sank the decisive bucket in the final seconds of the November 26 matchup.
Video clips captured her leaping, shouting and throwing her arms in the air, stealing the spotlight from the hardwood and turning the moment into instant internet gold.
Ingram sank a 15-foot jumper with 0.6 seconds left to give the Raptors a 97-95 over the Indiana Pacers. GloRilla’s reaction spread like wildfire online.
The two confirmed their relationship in September, making it Instagram official with a playful photo together.
After the buzzer-beater, the pair shared a brief handshake courtside, a moment captured and posted by the NBA’s official Instagram account.
GloRilla, 26, has become a regular fixture at Raptors games and one of the NBA’s most recognizable celebrity supporters this season.
NLE Choppa has officially declared war on NBA YoungBoy with the release of his scorching new diss track “Hello Revenge,” dropping Thursday night (November 28) as the latest salvo in Hip-Hop’s most heated beef of 2025.
The Memphis rapper, now performing under the moniker NLE The Great, delivered a vicious four-minute assault that directly targets the Baton Rouge star with surgical precision.
Directed by Bryson Potts and Travis Payne, the accompanying music video serves as a visual exclamation point to what many are calling the most aggressive diss track of the year.
“Rap went dead, I’ma bring it back alive/N####, I’m the truth, but the devil is a lie/YB, Louis V. belt to his spine/Anybody with him better get hiim before he cross the line, n####,” NLE The Great spits with venomous intensity on the track.
The “Louis V. belt to his spine” reference appears to refer to October’s “KO” music video, where the “Shotta Flow” hitmaker was seen striking an NBA YoungBoy lookalike with a belt in a shocking visual that sent shockwaves through social media.
But NLE The Great didn’t stop there.
He directly addressed the viral “YB better” meme that YoungBoy’s loyal fanbase has weaponized across social platforms.
“They say, ‘YB better,’ who? I’m the proof that ain’t a statement/They was putting me at two, hmm, change the conversation,” he rapped, effectively dismantling the popular phrase while asserting his own dominance.
The track arrives approximately 10 days after NBA YoungBoy appeared to fire back with “Zero IQ Freestyle,” released on November 17. In that response, the 26-year-old Baton Rouge native seemed to dismiss NLE entirely, rapping: “B####, f### you, you ain’t really Five and healin’ all with real gang hoes / ‘Respond to him,’ he ain’t never ran nothin’ down, b####, I said, ‘No.'”
The beef traces back to NLE Choppa’s explosive “KO” diss track in October, which heavily sampled 2Pac’s legendary “Hit Em Up” and saw the rapper claim that YoungBoy was “poison” to the youth.
The track marked a dramatic escalation in tensions between the two young stars.
The disturbing imagery translated into one of the year’s most talked-about diss records. NBA YoungBoy, fresh off his successful MASA album and his first headlining arena tour that wrapped in October, has maintained his position as one of Hip-Hop’s most prolific artists.
However, NLE The Great’s relentless assault suggests this beef is far from over. The timing of “Hello Revenge” is particularly strategic, arriving just as NBA YoungBoy was scheduled to release his new album Slime Cry on Friday (November 28) at midnight.
However, fans may have to wait longer for that project as the release has been delayed.
Missy Elliott wants answers about why her hit “Car Wash” remake with Christina Aguilera has vanished from streaming platforms nearly 20 years after it dropped for the Shark Tale soundtrack.
The Hip-Hop icon took to X this week to directly question Universal Music Group and Geffen Records after being flooded with messages from listeners wondering why the 2004 track is nowhere to be found online.
“The fans tagged me wanting to know why the song Car Wash on #Sharktale soundtrack not on some streaming sites… Can you please help out because many of them have been asking as you can see and miss it,” she wrote.
.@UMG .@GeffenRecords the fans tagged me wanting to know why the song “Car Wash” on #Sharktale soundtrack not on some streaming sites…Can you please help out because many of them have been asking as you can see and miss it🙏🏾☺️
The high-energy duet, a modern take on Rose Royce’s 1976 disco classic, became a chart success in several countries upon its release alongside the animated film.
Despite its popularity, the song remains unavailable on primary streaming services, including Spotify and Apple Music. So far, neither Universal nor Geffen has responded publicly to Elliott’s request.
Elliott, who last released a full-length album in 2005 with The Cookbook, followed by her 2019 EP Iconology, recently teased new music during an appearance on the Rolling Stone Music Now podcast.
“I have something in the works,” she said. “It’s just different. It’s me being experimental again… I got some stuff coming. Some fire.”
No timeline has been confirmed for the release of her upcoming material.
