Did Beyoncé Allow Kendrick Lamar To Diss Drake On 2023’s “America Has A Problem?”

Kendrick Lamar fans continue to decode his previous releases in search of Drake disses and, as a result, Beyoncé has been dragged into the saga.

Even though Beyoncé released RENAISSANCE in July 2022, the album cut “America Has A Problem” is gaining a renewed sense of popularity after listeners appear to have discovered yet another tongue-lashing Kendrick Lamar unleashed on Drake.

To be clear, it’s not the original version of the song that was released with the album, but the remix that was released as a single in May 2023 featuring Kendrick’s verse. There’s been a wide consensus that Metro Boomin and Future’s “Like That” was the stone that shattered the glass barrier behind which Drake and Kendrick’s rap beef laid dormant for years. Fans now think the tone of the West Coast MC’s verse on “America Has A Problem” offers a challenging counter angle on the perspective of how deep this feud actually runs.

The perceived diss itself even has multiple layers to it, as Kendrick starts off by seemingly warning both Drake and the music industry that he’s ready and willing to go on a lyrical and figurative kill streak if provoked.

“Geeked up, choosy love,” he raps. “Well, they chose violence/Universal, please don’t play possum I’m a businеss man doin’ as follows.”

The subliminal jabs appear to get more direct and blatant in their use to illustrate how easily Kendrick could deal a knockout blow —such as “Not Like Us”—in a real rap beef against Drake.

“Truthfully, I be lyin’ in my rap song,” he continues. “‘Cause I always fail to mention I’d slap homiе/His career didn’t come with no life insurance/Hope his day one fans got some facts on him.”

As the record strarted trending on social media once again, users almost immediately began speculating, whether Beyoncé was aware Kendrick dissed Drake in the song.

”Beyoncé let Kendrick Lamar cuss Drake TF out on America has a problem remix,” one user on Twitter (X) wrote, while another said, “All of this beef is because Beyoncé hates Drake. She sent Kendrick a hit.”

Of course, this isn’t the only instance of fans going back and reclassifying songs from Kendrick’s previous releases as being possible Drake diss records and or subliminal messages.

In fact, many users have deduced that the front half of Kendrick‘s set from his Juneteenth concert was purely intended to solely diss Drake . From opening his performance with “euphoria” to following up with “DNA” and “Element” suggested at least some—if not all—of the pair of aforementioned records were dedicated to showcasing Kendrick’s hatred for Drake.

Moneybagg Yo & Ari Fletcher Relationship Drama Erupts Over Cryptic Post

Ari Fletcher warned Moneybagg Yo after he hinted at trouble in their relationship on X (formerly known as Twitter). Fletcher believed her boo was taking a jab at her via social media on Monday night (June 24).

“Watch out for ppl in yo life dat look for a reason to fall out with u,” Moneybagg Yo wrote.

Fletcher responded, “You ain’t really trying to play this game is you? I’ll finish it on this b####.”

Moneybagg Yo and Fletcher’s clash played out in public, leading to opinions from onlookers on social media. Fletcher snapped at several people who commented on the couple’s behavior on Tuesday (June 25).

“We did text each other b#### then we came to the internet,” Fletcher wrote to one X user who thought the relationship drama should remain private.

The couple’s latest spat occurred a month after Fletcher criticized Moneybagg Yo’s baby mama. Fletcher accused Moneybagg Yo’s baby mama of harassment when he tried to downplay issues between the two women.

“Don’t say nobody,” Fletcher wrote. “Say your babymama. It’s been 5 years of stalking and harassment. This s### is SO beneath me.”

Moneybagg Yo’s baby mama suggested he was still obsessed with her. Fletcher dared the woman to prove it.

“You on your page promoting fraud and getting child support,” Fletcher declared. “You live in a f###### air bnb. We call you the cafeteria lady. You was a prostitute that he got pregnant. Nobody is f##### up about him but you. Drop some receipts or leave it on the play ground.”

Moneybagg Yo released a new album titled Speak Now on June 14. The project featured Lil Durk, Chris Brown, Morgan Wallen and more.

Young Dolph’s Alleged Murder Mastermind Arrested Again

Hernandez Govan, the man accused of ordering the hit on Young Dolph, was arrested in Southaven, Mississippi on Sunday (June 23). Govan was charged with stalking, driving with a suspended license and having an improperly mounted license tag.

According to multiple reports, Govan posted a $2,250 bond. He was released from the DeSoto County Jail on Monday (June 24).

Govan was apprehended while out on bond in the Young Dolph murder case. Govan was granted a $90,000 bond in 2023. His co-defendants Justin Johnson and Cornelius Smith remained behind bars.

“We were apprised of Govan’s arrest on an unrelated preexisting warrant,” a Shelby County District Attorney’s Office spokesperson told FOX 13 Memphis. “We are looking into the circumstances. The court will be made aware of the arrest.”

Govan will face traffic violations in Southaven Municipal Court on Wednesday (June 26). He is scheduled to appear in DeSoto County Justice Court for the stalking charge on August 20.

Young Dolph was shot and killed at a Memphis bakery in 2021. Prosecutors accused Govan of orchestrating the late rapper’s murder. Johnson and Smith allegedly carried out the deadly shooting.

Govan, Johnson and Smith’s trial is set to begin in September following several delays. The trial’s postponements frustrated Mia Jaye, Young Dolph’s longtime partner and the mother of his children.

“It is truly hurtful that my family was robbed of a future,” she wrote. “My love’s life was taken… and to be left behind to see NO ONE be held accountable in the court of law for the act… is INSANE…. Our family has witnessed lenient bonds being granted, absurd requests approved for the defendants to get a [change of] venue motion, freedom, more time to build a stronger defense… witnessed songs be made, defendants enjoying life while on [house arrest]… all while our loved one is 6feet deep, waiting for JUSTICE to be served… talk about disheartening, unfair, triggering and hurtful.”

Govan, Johnson and Smith were charged with first-degree murder for their roles in Young Dolph’s death. Johnson’s brother Jermarcus pleaded guilty to accessory after the fact and awaits sentencing.

Charleston White & Rick Ross’ BM Tia Kemp Drag Kids Into Bitter Feud 

Charleston White and Tia Kemp, Rick Ross’ baby mama, are risking a potential Instagram ban to take each other down while dragging their kids into their nasty dispute. 

The controversial social media personalities have taken the gloves off in their war of words. White kicked the beef off on Monday (June 24). He went after Kemp in a video, slamming her parenting skills and blasting her for “publicly shaming” her son’s father by targeting him with wild accusations during her online rants. 

Kemp hit back shortly after in a video of her own, warning White he would regret speaking about her.  

“Aye Charleston White,” Tia Kemp began. “The way I’m finna line yo bull winkle c###-eyed ass up dog on YouTube, you gone wish you ain’t mention my muthafuckin name f### boy. Listen here b#### n####, I said what the f### I said and I’m calling a s#### a s#### just like yo b#### ass do p####.” 

Charleston White and Tia Kemp Trade Jabs

Unsurprisingly, the spat didn’t end there and only escalated further as the day continued with neither party willing to back down. After insulting each other’s looks, White and Kemp upped the ante and dragged the children into it.  

White posted multiple images of Rick Ross and Tia Kemp’s 18-year-old son, William Roberts III, while body shaming him in the caption. He also posted photos of his own children alongside a colorist caption. “My kids (slim, mixed, and gorgeous) vs Her fatherless son (fat, black, and ugly as ever),” he wrote.

Meanwhile, Tia Kemp also shared photos of White’s children and screenshots of their mother’s alleged past charges.

However, Instagram removed many of their posts, citing “community guidelines on bullying or harassment.” The feuding pair accused each other of reporting them, and Kemp urged her followers to get White’s page “shut down.” 

Nonetheless, the drama continued on Tuesday morning (June 24), as White challenged the decision and reshared his posts attacking Kemp and her son. Meanwhile, Kemp clapped back, claiming one of the photos White shared was of Rick Ross’ nephew, not his son. 

Boosie Badazz Tosses Ankle Monitor In Pool, Claims Federal Gun Charges Dropped 

Boosie Badazz is celebrating after scoring a major legal victory after learning that he’s free of the federal gun charges that landed him behind bars last year.  

In June 2023, the Baton Rouge native was locked up for the second time in as many months. He was eventually released on a $100,000 bond after spending several days in jail.  

On Monday (June 24), a year and a day after he was placed on bond, Boosie revealed his case had ended. He celebrated with a special announcement before tossing his ankle monitor into his swimming pool. 

In a video from a recent pool party, the “Wipe Me” Down stood atop a rock as he announced his good news. “My P.O. say the charges terminated,” Boosie declared as his guests whooped and cheered. “And I can cut my ankle monitor off. 

Boosie then hurled the ankle monitor into the pool and dived in after it as his guests continued cheering. 

Back in May 2023, San Diego police arrested Boosie following a traffic stop and charged him with being a felon in possession of a firearm. Although the case was dismissed weeks later, Federal agents nabbed Boosie moments after the dismissal. The feds also charged with him being a felon in possession of a firearm. 

Prosecutors argued he was a flight risk and should not be let out on bond. However, the judge disagreed, and Boosie was granted bail on June 23, 2023. 

Davido Wants Rihanna For Next Collaboration; Talks Bridging Cultures Through Afrobeats

Davido, the Afrobeats sensation, has his sights set very high, and for good reason. He’s a global megastar with his sights on conquering the music game. 

Born David Adedeji Adeleke, Davido has seamlessly blended his Nigerian heritage with American sentiments to create a unique and infectious sound that resonates globally.

“I have lived in America before, even before my music career,” the Atlanta-born, Nigerian-reared artist explained. “I stayed in Atlanta for a bit, but so I always saw the difference between back home (Africa and the United States). I also always saw the disconnection that [existed] because – at the end of the day – we all know where we’re from originally. So I’m happy that things like entertainment have kind of connected us back, musically and we just soundly all getting back together.”

Davido expressed his love and satisfaction with how entertainment has played a pivotal role in reconnecting people of African descent with their roots. 

“You got people from America going back to Africa for holidays now. We got people wanting to find out where they’re really from, stuff like that. So I feel like I always knew that over time, the connection because anything that’s disconnected artificially will always connect back naturally. So I’m just happy that the Western world is accepting the culture and I’m just happy about everything,” he told Chuck “Jigsaw” Creekmur.

Known for his hit singles like “Dami Duro,” “Fall,” and “If,” Davido has established himself as a major force in the Nigerian music industry and beyond. His debut album, Omo Baba Olowo, released in 2012, featured several hit singles that solidified his status in the music world. His musical style, which blends traditional African elements with global pop and Hip-Hop influences, has earned him numerous awards, including BET Awards, MTV Africa Music Awards, and Nigerian Entertainment Awards.

The artist, who recently concluded a sold-out show at Madison Square Garden, reflected on his varied, pleasant tour experiences. “Touring has been crazy. I just did Madison Square Garden last month. It was an amazing show. Sold out and New York has always been a city that always shows love. Shout out to Summer Jam. I think it’s my second or third time here and we just, happy man. Thank you.”

When asked about future collaborations, Davido enthusiastically mentioned his interest in working with global superstar Rihanna.

AllHipHop: Who would you like to work with next? 

Davido: Everybody man, to be honest, probably Rihanna. “RiRi what’s up, call me!” Maybe. Maybe. 

AllHipHop: Yeah, you can bring her out of retirement, I think. 

AllHipHop: Yeah. She popped her collar the other day on breaking records and hits and stuff. 

Davido: Yeah, she can, right. She got it. 

Davido is currently on tour in the United States.

Saweetie Fights Back Against Accusations She Caused Chicago Festival Stampede 

Saweetie is defending herself against claims she caused a stampede after chaos erupted during her set at the Vegandale Festival in Chicago’s Grant Park on Sunday (June 23). 

The “ICY GIRL” hitmaker took to X (Twitter) to speak out after multiple social media users blamed her for causing the mayhem. 

“This was a serious matter,” she stated. “But yall are too obsessed with creating this negative propaganda toward me.” 

After the festival on Sunday, Saweetie shared her concern for concert-goers’ safety. “Hope everyone got home safe tonight,” she wrote. “That crowd looked crazy.” 

However, the backlash had begun, and some attendees slammed Saweetie and blamed her for creating a stampede.

“This all Saweetie fault,” one person wrote. “Why would you say on the stage in Chicago ‘I know yall not doing what I think yall doing.’ Mfs assumed shooting and it was a stampede.” 

“Talking about the crowd looked crazy lol it was a FESTIVAL!” another person added. “Straight [clown] don’t bring your ass back to Chicago, you’ve done enough…it was babies out there getting trampled on for NOTHING.” 

Saweetie replied, insisting she stayed at the festival, despite the chaos and returned after it subsided to finish her set.  

“well… the crowd did look crazy which is why i hope everyone got home safe,” she replied. “Also, I could’ve went home after the fight broke out but i STAYED, waited & after 2 chains performed I went BACK ON STAGE to finish my set bc I CARE… u clearly don’t like me so why you stay for the rest.”

Sauce Walka Fends Off Alleged Knife-Wielding Maniac With Broomstick  

Sauce Walka got into an altercation with a man he claims was indiscriminately attacking people on the streets of Los Angeles, fending him off with only a broomstick despite his adversary allegedly being armed with a knife.  

Late on Monday night (June 24), the Houston-bred rapper took to Instagram with a video of him accosting the man.  Sauce Walka approaches the the man, broomstick in hand.   

“You seen this s###? He got scared of this ninja work,” he said to the camera. “He pulled out a knife, I pulled out this muthafucka right here,” he said, holding up the broom.” 

The pair continue shouting at each other, going back and forth in the middle of the road. “You scared of the Black ninja,” Sauce Walka continued waving the broomstick while yelling more profanities.  

“He had a knife and I had a broomstick and he ran like a b####,” he added.

Sauce Walka followed up in the caption, describing what happened before the camera began rolling. According to the “I’m Him” hitmaker, the man fled after he confronted him with his unconventional weapon.  

“So this Krazy man running around LA screaming& throwing objects at random people turned to us and I smacked him with a broomstick,” he wrote. “Bro pulls out a baby knife and TAKES OFF RUNNING … I can’t make this up.” 

It appears the man picked the wrong one, as Sauce Walka has been brushing up on his fighting skills in the boxing gym, albeit without a broomstick. He’s been training with professional boxer and TikTok star Nurideen Shahid Shabazz, aka Deen the Great, posting a video of their workout on Instagram.

“BBL Drizzy” AI Company Faces RIAA Lawsuit As Record Labels Seek To End “Blatant Infringement” 

The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) is taking action against two AI startups, including the brand behind the popular “BBL Drizzy” instrumental. 

The AI-generated song soared in popularity and had a major impact during the Drake and K. Dot beef after Metro Boomin used the instrumental in a challenge. Social media comedian King Willonius revealed he created the track using the AI platform Udio, developed by Uncharted Labs. 

The challenge went viral, sparking multiple “BBL Drizzy” remixes. Drake himself even rapped over the instrumental on Sexyy Red’s “U My Everything.” 

Now, the RIAA are going after Uncharted Labs and fellow AI company Suno, alleging their systems are trained to violate artist copyright.  

In their lawsuit against Udio, RIAA argues, “if developed with the permission and participation of copyright owners, generative AI tools will be able to assist humans in creating and producing new and innovative music.” 

However, the suit also stated if AI tools are developed “without regard for fundamental copyright protections,” it could cause “enduring and irreparable harm,” and “inevitably reducing the quality of new music.” 

Meanwhile, RIAA CEO Mitch Glazier said that legal action is “necessary to reinforce the most basic rules of the road for the responsible, ethical, and lawful development of generative AI systems and to bring Suno’s and Udio’s blatant infringement to an end,” per CNN

Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” Could Make Drake’s “Family Matters” Jab Reality With Grammy Win 

Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” has taken on a life of its own, topping the charts and dominating the conversation, and now, the Recording Academy has confirmed the Drake diss is eligible to win a Grammy. 

During a recent interview, Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. discussed whether the chart-topper could be nominated. “Obviously, it’s a hot record, it’s amazing artistry,” Mason Jr. told TMZ. “Great writing … the talent on that record, it’s incredible.” 

Mason Jr. continued, pointing out that Lamar stands a good chance of getting a nomination because of the “quality” of the song. He also highlighted Lamar’s popularity among Grammy voters. Notably, Lamar has  17 golden gramophones and has received 47 nominations.  

During the battle, Drake taunted K. Dot on “Family Matters,” stating, “Kendrick just opened his mouth. Someone go hand him a Grammy right now.” 

It appears Drizzy could be right as Mason Jr. insisted Kendrick Lamar has a good chance at scoring a Grammy win.  

“You got an artist that’s been nominated before,” he added. “He’s been successful with the organization. I don’t see any reason why it couldn’t be.” 

When asked whether Lamar’s fiery jabs and accusations at Drake would scare off Grammy members, the CEO dismissed the idea, confirming voters “appreciate greatness,” and K. Dot has it in spades. 

“That’s a relevant record, it’s impactful on so many levels,” he explained. “I like to believe the Academy members recognize that. 

Mason Jr. also considered the possibility of a “diss record” Grammys category in the future. “Hey, you never know,” he said, adding that it would be down to the members.

Nicki Minaj and Cardi B are flexing their career credentials, with the former dishing out a stern warning to anybody doubting her spot at the top. 

The rap queens have been embroiled in a simmering feud, and have clashed on numerous occasions over the years.

On Monday evening (June 24,) Cardi shared her reaction to receiving the Inspiration Award from Jason Lee at his 2024 Impact Awards. 

According to Cardi B, Lee always tells her, “You’re that b####. You’re her,” and reminds her of her accomplishments and longevity in the game.  

“I obviously see it,” she said of her impact on the industry. “Sometimes people always want to underestimate everything I have done but I know I have made a change in my field. I know I changed a lot of s###.” 

Furthermore, Cardi B asserted, “I know I give a lot of girls inspiration, no matter if they admit it or not. Baby, I see Cardi B all over you, baby. B####, don’t play yourself.”

Meanwhile, a short while after Hollywood Unlocked posted the clip of Cardi B, Nicki Minaj hopped on X (Twitter) to lay claim to the rap queen crown. Furthermore, while Lee believes Cardi B is “that b####,” Nicki Minaj disagrees. 

“Hi so let’s get into this right now,” Minaj began. “I’m that Btch. That’s Number 1. Number 2. Revisit number one.” 

She continued, serving a warning to anybody doubting her claims. “If it means you gotta revisit that s### 500 times a day, DO IT!!!!!!!! Before you EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!! Think bout playing pon MY BOMBOROSCLOT HEADTOP!!!!!” Minaj concluded.

Drake & Camila Cabello Leak Gets Mixed Reviews Amid Kendrick Lamar “Not Like Us” Saga

Drake is receiving both constructive criticism and praise after an unreleased snippet from Camila Cabello’s upcoming album began circulating on social media.

Following her recent performance at Rock in Rio music festival in Brazil, where Cabello teased multiple new records from her upcoming album C,XOXO, a clip of her “UUGLY” collaboration set for the album featuring Drake went viral.

The clip and question captures Drake opting for a more melodic approach as he croons the phrase “CC they want me to break it down” in a soothing, non-aggressive cadence. Almost immediately, social media users discovered the video and began reacting to it.

A post shared by AllHipHop (@allhiphopcom)

Initially, social media users reactions directly referenced Kendrick’s “Euphoria” diss track by targeting the specific bar in which the West Coast lyricist questions the motives behind Drizzy recruiting black artists for features.

“I like Drake with the melodies I don’t like Drake when he act tough,” user on Twitter (X) wrote quoting Kendrick’s verse in a thread featuring a portion of Drake’s verse.

Another X user responded, “Kendrick sent him back to pop,” and signed the tweet off with multiple crying laughing smiley face emojis.

While the majority of user’s responses leaned on the defining buzz of Kendrick’s relentless barrage of diss tracks targeting Drizzy, a number of users offered real criticism on the collaboration.

“Sounds like honestly nvm Drake and I’m here for it. Been yearning for another Drake summer classic,” one X user wrote.

Another user added, “Haven’t said this about a Drake release in a while, but this is absolutely awful,” to which another user responded just making s##t to make s##t now.”

Following Kendrick’s unification of the West Coast in the aftermath of his Juneteenth concert, which saw prominent Hip-Hop figures such as Snoop Dogg Crown him as the “King of the West” increased scrutiny has fallen upon Drake’s shoulders.

If you couple that with the rumors swirling earlier this year that Drake and Cabello were involved in a fling following a tropical getaway to Turks and Caicos last March, the optics surrounding Drakes, forthcoming pop collaboration make the appearance seem like more of a gimmick rather than a true collaborative effort. Nonetheless, it appears as though there is no amount of public defamation of his character, resulting from his rap beef with Kendrick, that will deter Drake from releasing whatever he feels like at the moment.

SIGNS: Arkansas Mass Shooting Death Toll Rises To Four In Grocery Store Attack

The members of the small-town community of Fordyce, Arkansas, continue to mourn loved one’s lost following a brutal mass shooting at the Mad Butcher grocery store late last week.

The suspect, 44-year-old Travis Eugene Posey, armed to the teeth with a pistol, a 12-gauge shotgun, and a bandolier loaded with shotgun shells, went on a violent rampage, killing four and wounding 14 others in a matter of minutes.

According to CNN, victims of the heinous crime range in age from 23 to 81. Witnesses at the scene of the shooting described how the chaotic incident unfolded as Posey emerged from his pick-up truck and relentlessly fired at patrons in the parking lot and in the grocery store.

“He was like a man possessed,” one bystander told the outlet. “He just kept shooting and shooting.”

Arkansas Secretary of Public Safety Mike Hagar said the massacre began at approximately 11:30 a.m. locThough law enforcement was on the scene within three minutes of the first shot, Hagar says it was already too late for many.

“Posey immediately began engaging victims in the parking lot after exiting his truck and then proceeded into the store,” Hagar said in part. “Once inside the grocery store, the suspect was firing indiscriminately at both customers and employees.”

He continued, “When law enforcement arrived on scene, the suspect exited the store, and the officers redirected his attention towards them. He immediately engaged in a firefight with law enforcement, where they were able to stop the threat.”

While detailing the tragedy in an official statement to the public, Hagar confirmed authorities discovered that the majority of the shots fired are presumed to have come from one weapon in particular.

“We believe that most, if not all the rounds fired by the suspect were from the shotgun,” Hagar said.

Posey was subdued by officers and later taken to the Ouachita County Detention Center with non-life-threatening injuries. He is expected to face multiple charges, including four counts of capital murder, with more charges likely to follow. His court appearance is set for June 25.

This gruesome attack is part of a terrifying trend of mass shootings that has gripped the United States in recent months. The Gun Violence Archive reports at least 14 mass shootings in June alone. Among these tragedies, a horrific shooting spree in Ohio left 10 people wounded, including two minors. In total, 247 mass shootings have already occurred this year.

Rubi Rose’s First Move Post-Druski Fling Was IDK’s Paris Album Listening Event?

Apparently, Rubi Rose and her boo-thang Druski are no more amid her recent appearance at Paris Fashion Week (PFW).

Rumors began to swirl on social media after the “Deserve To Die” rapper appeared in a street interview clip from PFW during which she seemingly trashed the relationship experience. In particular, Rose was seemingly set off by a question regarding her favorite love song.

“F### love,” Rose replied in part. As the clip continues, Rose further denounces exclusivity in relationships by confirming her separation from Druski and affirming her status as open to the public.

“OK, I’m single, guys.” she said.

Rose’s spicy comments effectively shunning love arrive mere months after the Coulda Been Records CEO dropped a sneaky flick on his personal Instagram capturing what appeared to be an intimate moment with Rose on the beach in April. Druski stamped the photo of them seemingly gazing into each other’s eyes intoxicated by the look of love with a caption that read, “DRUBI [heart emoji].”

The pair went on to share several cutesy-wootsy couple’s photos with each other on social media in addition to affirming their relationship was very real, for those doubting how serious they were.

Well apparently, all that changed very quickly, and now Rose is “back outside” for the summer, per her recent Instagram post. And as if the interview clip itself wasn’t enough, Rose may be fostering a new relationship with a new suitor who just happens to be Warner Records signee IDK.

Over the weekend, Rose attended the “Peloton” rapper’s intimate album listening dinner event in Paris at the world-renowned stadium, home to Paris Saint-Germain F.C., wearing a revealing outfit. In addition to peers such as Latto, who commented “bro ur literally perfect,” IDK also commented on Rose’s post recapping the event and showed love.

Could it be that Rose won’t be outside for long? Or are we in for another love story about what “Coulda Been,” complete with an even more abrupt ending? Check out Rose’s post below and decide for yourself.

Sheryl Crow Roasts “Hateful” Drake In Tupac Shakur’s Defense

Sheryl Crow has strongly criticized Canadian rapper Drake for using artificial intelligence to imitate the late Tupac Shakur’s voice in a new song.

The artist, known for hits like “Take Care,” faced backlash and legal action after releasing “Taylor Made Freestyle,” which featured AI-generated vocals of the deceased gangsta rap legend.

Crow expressed her disapproval during a BBC interview, saying, “You cannot bring people back from the dead and believe that they would stand for that. I’m sure Drake thought, ‘Yeah, I shouldn’t do it, but I’ll say sorry later.’ But it’s already done, and people will find it even if he takes it down. It’s hateful. It is antithetical to the life force that exists in all of us.”

The song was removed after legal representatives for Shakur’s estate issued a cease-and-desist order. Crow’s condemnation stems from her personal experience with AI in music.

Crow recounted a recent incident where a producer replaced her vocals with a flawless imitation of John Mayer’s voice.

“I know John and I know the nuances of his voice,” she said. “And there would be no way you’d have been able to tell that he was not singing that song.”

Crow has since been advocating for tighter regulations on artificial intelligence in the music industry. She has even addressed the issue in her new track, “Evolution.”

Tupac Shakur, an indomitable figure in Hip-Hop, was murdered in September 1996 at the age of 25. Duane “Keefe D” Davis was arrested in connection with Shakur’s murder last year. He’s currently awaiting trial. 

Nicki Minaj Avoids Legal Questioning From Man Who Killed Her Father

A New York judge denied Charles Polevich’s request to depose Nicki Minaj in a $150 million lawsuit filed by her mother Carol Maraj. The judge said Polevich never proved he attempted to contact Minaj’s team about the deposition. In Touch Weekly was the first report on the ruling.

“Defendant’s motion … to initiate a commission to the appropriate authority in the State of California so that the nonparty deposition of Ms. Minaj can take place, is denied with leave to renew within thirty (30) days of the date of this decision and order, with notice of entry, upon the submission of proof demonstrating the defendant’s efforts to obtain the cooperation of the nonparty residing out of state,” the judge ordered in June.

The judge added, “In the event that the defendant is unable to furnish such proof to this Court, within thirty (30) days of the date of this decision and order, with notice of entry, the defendant shall be precluded from obtaining said discovery—to wit, the nonparty deposition of Ms. Minaj.”

Polevich, the driver who killed Minaj’s father Robert Maraj in a 2021 hit-and-run in New York, wanted to ask the Hip-Hop star about her childhood and allegations of abuse against her dad. Carol Maraj objected to Polevich’s efforts to question Minaj.

“The plaintiff’s counsel argues that Ms. Minaj and the family should not have to be subjected to this harassment,” the court documents noted.

Carol Miraj filed her lawsuit against Polevich in 2021. She claimed Polevich only sought to question Minaj to “drag the litigation on and depose a celebrity.”

Polevich pleaded guilty to leaving the scene of an accident without reporting it and tampering with physical evidence in connection to Robert Maraj’s death. Polevich was sentenced to a year behind bars and ordered to pay a $5,000 fine in 2022.

Snoop Dogg Crushes 200M Race During Olympic Trials: Watch

Snoop Dogg is preparing for his NBC commentator role at the 2024 Paris Olympics next month. Why not start with a 200-meter sprint alongside some of the best athletes in the world? The Death Row Records boss took it upon himself to participate in the 200m trial run in Oregon over the weekend.

Sporting a team USA shirt honoring the late Kobe Bryant to go with his American flag-themed pants, Snoop Dogg ran against Ato Boldon and Wallace Spearmon during Sunday’s (June 23) race. Snoop’s competition ended up smoking him (no pun intended). Snoop finished the race in a distant third place with a time of 34.44 seconds. But Snoop was still happy with his time, saying, “34.44 for a 52-year-old? Ain’t bad.”

Snoop Dogg was back to commentating shortly after catching his breath, lending his colorful remarks to the steeplechase run as part of the broadcast.

“Oh he’s jumping on top of the hurdle,” he said. “You can do that?! That was a cold trick right there. I like that one. Went off the tippy-top.”

Snoop Dogg initially went viral alongside Kevin Hart as they were commentating on the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, specifically the equestrian events. During the Paris games, he’ll finally be able to meet the “crip-walking” horse. He told Jimmy Fallon how much he’s looking forward to seeing the horse in action during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last month.

Destroy Lonely’s ex-girlfriend exposed his alleged history of domestic violence on Monday (June 24). His ex recalled multiple examples of abuse in their relationship and shared photos of her injuries on social media.

“Cracked my head open in Germany after pushing me into a bed frame and then threw all my s### in the hallway ….. all because i was tired and didn’t want to get up at that exact second to roll a blunt,” she wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter).

Destroy Lonely, whose real name is Bobby Sandimanie, was charged with simple battery for attacking his ex in Georgia in 2023. The victim said witnesses called the police after seeing him abuse her.

“[I] never called cops on Bobby .arrested the day of,” she wrote. “We fought for hours in apt & downstairs and he started shouting that he ddnt know me and I’m a hoe (already dating for year+) then slammed me on the floor in front of security guard two grown men…. Who then called the cops on him.”

The woman mentioned one incident in which Destroy Lonely allegedly slapped her in the face four times on the same day he recorded “Turn Off Your Phone” with PinkPantheress. His ex detailed another time when he abused in her Japan.

“In Tokyo he wanted to me go to one our friends events,” she wrote. “we had just argued so I wanted to chill instead. verbally fight I leave hotel u follow me for the entire 20 min walk. I give up and walk back to hotel. You snap and choke and drag me 3 times by my neck at the edition.”

Destroy Lonely’s ex said the second to last time they were together, he threatened to kill her with a knife in his hand. She summed up his abusive behavior in one post.

“Every fight has come from me either saying No or wanting to leave his physical presence or me having my own mouth and thoughts,” she wrote. “Then playing manipulation games and trying to blame me. I’ve snapped back out of protection my self multiple times. I don’t wake up and beat on anyone.”

Destroy Lonely is signed to Playboi Carti’s Opium imprint. The 22-year-old artist is the son of longtime Ludacris collaborator I-20.

Is Drake Plotting Revenge?

I’m thinking Drake is about to get his revenge! Or at least he’s planning it. We don’t know what’s truly going on, but it seems like plans are being made.

First things first, somebody sent me this information: Drake is now following DJ Mustard’s ex. I’m not up to date on this stuff, but I’ve been told that Mustard and his ex broke up in a very bad way. She might be open to a liaison with Drake. I’m not saying that it has happened or that Drake is planning it, but why would he follow her at this point? It is clearly trolling. In my opinion, that seems to be his MO. I think he likes having relationships with other guys’ exes and girlfriends. I could be wrong, but that’s what it seems like.

This was not written by me and I do not know the source, but it seems to have some truth in there:

Chanel and DJ Mustard had a very public and bitter divorce in 2022 after Mustard walked out on his wife and children – and started bopping around town with multiple Instagram models. DJ Mustard had Chanel sign an iron-clad prep, before they were married. So after he dropped herm Mustard paid only $315,000 upon the divorce. And you can bet your bottom dollar that she’s bitter about how things ended with her ex … and she’s out for revenge.

Next! There’s Wack100 is saying Drake can never perform his song with YG again. As we know, YG sided with Kendrick Lamar and the city of Compton. Somebody on BX said that YG is not truly from Compton, but in my opinion, he’s close enough. Outsiders don’t know those inner politics. It seems like YG did what he wanted and took sides. I don’t think YG is too concerned because he made it clear that he did not like when Drake mentioned his name in the midst of rap beef.

G Herbo & Angel Reese Dating Rumors Run Wild Over Tesla Cybertruck Video

Purported footage of G Herbo and WNBA star Angel Reese riding together inside a Tesla Cybertruck sent social media into a frenzy on Monday (June 24). The brief video didn’t provide a clear view of either person but that didn’t stop fans from speculating about the two dating.

Reese previously connected with G Herbo at the Chi City Fest. The former LSU women’s basketball standout plays for the WNBA’s Chicago Sky.

G Herbo, whose real name is Herbert Wright, was sentenced to three years of probation for a fraud scheme in January. He was fined $5,500 and ordered to pay $139,878 in restitution.

The Chicago-bred rapper accepted a plea deal in 2023. He pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud and making a false statement to a federal official.

“On social media, Mr. Wright boasted an extravagant lifestyle,” Acting United States Attorney Joshua S. Levy said. “He gave the impression that his use of private jets, luxury cars and tropical villas were the legitimate fruits of his booming rap career as ‘G Herbo.’ However, his lavish lifestyle was shamelessly built on deceit and fraud using stolen account information that inflicted substantial harm on numerous businesses, leaving a wake of victims burdened with financial losses. This case should serve as a stark reminder that breaking the law leads to prosecution and accountability, regardless of who you are, how many likes you rack up or how many followers you have.”

G Herbo’s co-conspirator Antonio Strong also agreed to a plea deal. Strong pleaded guilty to wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud in May.
