Mike Tyson’s Wild Answer About AIDS Includes Salacious Confession

Mike Tyson casually mentioned how he barely avoided catching AIDS in a conversation with Rosie Perez for Interview Magazine. Tyson recalled a sex scare from his past while promoting his upcoming boxing match against YouTuber Jake Paul.

“Life isn’t over yet,” Tyson said. “We’re still fighting. We only make it out on the day of our death. There’s no way I should be here talking to you right now. All my friends are dead. They OD’d, they had AIDS. Me and my friend both had sex with this girl at the same time and they both died of AIDS. I didn’t catch AIDS. Raw, too.”

Tyson’s interview with Perez included a few more eye-popping quotes. He surprisingly mentioned mass murderer Charles Manson when asked about how the Paul fight would affect the former heavyweight champion’s legacy.

“What do I care about my legacy?” Tyson told Perez. “I never knew what a legacy was and people started throwing that word around so loosely. A legacy sounds like ego to me. I’m going to be dead soon. Who cares what somebody is going to think about me when I’m dead? We don’t talk about Charles Manson. No one cares about nobody when they’re dead and gone.”

Perez responded, “Weird comparison, but I’ll take it.”

Tyson is scheduled to face Paul at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on Friday (November 15). Tyson hasn’t fought since a 2020 exhibition against Roy Jones Jr. Paul’s last bout was against former UFC fighter Mike Perry in July.

“He got to be able to hit me to knock me out,” Tyson said regarding Paul. “And that’s going to be hard … Do you know I got hit by animals? I got hit by monsters. He can’t hit harder than no one I ever fought. I’m not going to take no punches, but he can’t hit harder than anybody I ever fought.”

Tyson vs. Paul will stream live on Netflix. Three title fights are booked for the undercard.

Kanye West Accused By Lawyer Of Having “Attention Span Of A Goldfish” As He Seeks New One

Kanye West struggled to hire a lawyer amid the threat of a default judgment in a lawsuit brought by a former Donda Academy employee. Manoj Shah, an attorney working for Ye who doesn’t specialize in civil litigation, begged a judge for more time to find someone to represent the polarizing rapper at a hearing on Tuesday (November 12).

“We are trying in vain to retain counsel,” Shah told Judge Christopher Lui. “We are interviewing several firms. For one reason or another, it has failed to work out. Our goal is to have counsel and participate in the defense.”

West faces multiple lawsuits but keeps firing his attorneys or refusing to pay them. Isaiah Meadows, a former assistant principal at Donna Academy, sought a default judgment in his case against Ye. Judge Lui decided to wait after hearing about West’s efforts to find a new lawyer.

“This can’t continue forever,” the judge warned. “If a substitute counsel is going to come in, it has to be done quickly.”

Judge Lui said he would enter a default judgment for Meadows if West doesn’t hire a new lawyer soon.

Meadows’ attorney Ron Zambrano believed the judge was delaying the inevitable.

“It’s an odd situation,” Zambrano told Courthouse News. “This is the first time we’ve heard there’s an attorney representing [West’s] interests. Whoever the next attorney is, there’s a long history of people not getting paid by Kanye West, which is part of the problem. But we’re gonna move forward. He’s going to have to pay attention to this case somehow.”

Zambrano took a jab at Ye when asked why the controversial artist wasn’t participating in the case.

“I just think that sometimes he has the attention span of a goldfish,” Zambrano said.

Meadows is one of several former employees suing West. The most disturbing allegations against him came from a lawsuit filed by his ex-assistant Lauren Pisciotta, who accused him of drugging and sexually assaulting her.

SIGNS: Florida Spirit Airlines Flight Diverted After Gunfire Strikes Plane In Attempt To Land In Haiti

By: Devon Jefferson Updated Category: Rumors

Florida Spirit Airlines passengers were lucky to walk away from a flight bound for Haiti after the aircraft was struck by gunfire during its attempt to land in the politically unstable country.

According to The Independent a Spirit Airlines flight carrying passengers from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, found itself in the crosshairs of gang-related gunfire as it descended toward Haiti’s Port-au-Prince on Monday. The terrifying ordeal forced the aircraft to detour to safety in the Dominican Republic, leaving passengers and crew in a state of panic. A flight attendant was grazed by a bullet, reportedly the only injury, though every passenger on board shared in the shock of being caught in the middle of gang warfare.

“I heard a loud pop and saw people ducking – it was chaos,” a passenger who was on board recounted. “I never imagined something like this could happen on a commercial flight.”

The airport was shut down immediately following the incident, with all flights into Haiti diverted or canceled. According to flight-tracking data, planes from JetBlue and Amerijet were seen turning back, unwilling to risk entering the now-dangerous airspace. The US Embassy swiftly issued a security alert, warning of “gang-led efforts to block travel to and from Port-au-Prince which may include armed violence, and disruptions to roads, ports, and airports.”

In a somber statement, Spirit Airlines confirmed the close call: “Flight 951 from Fort Lauderdale (FLL) to Port-au-Prince (PAP) diverted and landed safely in Santiago, Dominican Republic (STI). Following the flight’s arrival at STI, an inspection revealed evidence of damage to the aircraft consistent with gunfire.” The airline emphasized that guest safety is paramount, adding, “We have suspended our service at Port-au-Prince (PAP) and Cap-Haitien (CAP) pending further evaluation.”

While passengers have since been flown back to the United States on an alternate aircraft, the incident underscores the severe instability in Haiti’s capital. The US government has long urged its citizens to avoid travel to Haiti, advising that security conditions remain unpredictable and hazardous.

This shocking attack on a commercial plane is not an isolated incident. Just weeks ago, a United Nations helicopter in Port-au-Prince was similarly struck by gunfire from armed gangs, narrowly avoiding catastrophe. With the capital caught in a spiral of violence led by politically connected gangs, this marks a new low in Haiti’s escalating crisis. Haiti has recently seen brutal gang uprisings, including an insurrection in March that led to the toppling of the prime minister and a massive prison break.

Eminem & N.W.A’s Historically Controversial Lyrics Net Songwriters Hall Of Fame Noms

By: Justin Ivey Updated Category: News

Eminem and gangsta rap pioneers N.W.A have been ruffling feathers since the onset of their careers. Despite their historically controversial and often “offensive” lyrics, they both received nominations for the Songwriters Hall of Fame’s 2025 class on Tuesday (November 12). The legendary rappers are vying for two of the three spots in the performing songwriter category.

Other notable nominees include Janet Jackson, Parliament-Funkadelic’s George Clinton, Sheryl Crow, the Doobie Brothers, Boy George, Alanis Morissette, Bryan Adams, Steve Winwood and the Beach Boys’ Mike Love.

Rodney “Darkchild” Jenkins scored a nomination in the non-performing songwriter category. Fans who don’t recognize his name are likely familiar with his work; he co-wrote Destiny’s Child’s “Say My Name,” Beyoncé’s “Déjà Vu,” Brandy and Monica’s “The Boy Is Mine,” Ray J’s “One Wish,” Michael Jackson’s “You Rock My World” and many more hits.

Mariah Carey collaborator Walter Afanasieff was also nominated in the non-performing songwriter category. He co-wrote her enduring holiday hit “All I Want For Christmas Is You.”

Eminem and N.W.A (Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, MC Ren, DJ Yella and the late Eazy-E) seek to join a relatively small group of Hip-Hop artists in the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Past inductees include JAY-Z, Missy Elliott and Timbaland.

Songwriters Hall of Fame voting members must submit their ballots by December 22. Inductees will be honored at the 2025 Induction & Awards Gala ceremony in New York City.

Diddy Granted Bond Hearing—But Government Expected To Protest

By: Justin Ivey Updated Category: Exclusives

A judge gave Sean “Diddy” Combs a sliver of hope as he desperately tries to get released from jail before his criminal trial begins in 2025. According to court documents obtained by AllHipHop, Judge Arun Subramanian scheduled a hearing for Diddy’s motion for bond for November 22.

Judge Subramanian ordered prosecutors to respond to Diddy’s motion by Friday (November 15). The disgraced Hip-Hop mogul’s reply is due on November 20.

Diddy’s lawyers filed a renewed motion for bond on November 8. They proposed a “far more robust” bail package and claimed new evidence undermined the prosecution’s arguments for keeping Diddy in custody.

“The evidence makes clear that the government’s case is thin,” Diddy’s attorneys contended. “It confirms the defense’s initial description of the events depicted in the March 2016 video recording [was incorrect]: The video is not evidence of a coerced ‘freak off’ but rather a minutes-long glimpse into a complex but decade-long consensual relationship between Mr. Combs and Victim-1 [believed to be Cassie].

“Additionally, the new evidence refutes the government’s proffer at the initial hearing regarding a potential second alleged victim. And the new evidence confirms that the government’s obstruction and witness tampering allegations at the initial bail hearings lacked a factual basis.”

Diddy’s legal team also claimed his confinement conditions infringed his rights to participate in his defense.

“Given the government’s amended estimate of the amount of discovery in this case—and its unique format including voluminous video and photographic evidence—Mr. Combs’ release on the proposed conditions is necessary so that he can review the discovery and prepare for trial,” his lawyers wrote. “Despite the MDC’s best efforts to facilitate the defense team’s needs, the current arrangement makes trial preparation impossible—as evidenced by the recent multiagency sweep of the facility and resulting lockdown. The Bail Reform Act and the Constitution demand more.”

Diddy has remained in jail since his September 2024 arrest on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. His trial is scheduled for May 2025.

6ix9ine Sent Back To Jail Over Probation Violations

A New York judge sentenced Tekashi 6ix9ine to 45 days in jail on Tuesday (November 12). The controversial rapper was ordered to spend more than a month behind bars for multiple probation violations.

“Your breach of the court’s trust is profound,” Judge Paul Engelmayer told 6ix9ine.

6ix9ine, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, pleaded guilty after agreeing to a deal with prosecutors. He tested positive for meth, failed to comply with drug testing twice and traveled to Las Vegas and Sarasota without permission while on probation.

“Five violations say to me that you believe the rules don’t apply to you,” the judge said. “Maybe you believe that because you’re a famous rapper.”

6ix9ine asked for mercy at his sentencing.

“I make a lot of mistakes, but I’m not a bad person,” he said.

Prosecutors requested a one-month sentence, but Judge Engelmayer was considering two to three months. The judge ultimately settled on 45 days and warned 6ix9ine about further violations.

“If you are brought back before me, I may sentence you to more,” the judge told 6ix9ine.

6ix9ine was on probation stemming from his conviction in a racketeering case. In 2019, he was sentenced to two years in prison and five years of supervised release. He was released in 2020 amid COVID-19 concerns plaguing jails and prisons throughout the U.S.

Earlier this year, 6ix9ine was arrested on domestic violence charges in the Dominican Republic. He was accused of assaulting his ex-girlfriend Yailin La Más Viral. She sued him for nonconsensual pornography, battery, fraud and intentional infliction of emotional distress in September. She requested at least $1 million in damages.

Yailin claimed 6ix9ine “physically, sexually and emotionally abused” her. According to her lawsuit, he drugged her and stole “huge sums of money” during their relationship. After she broke up with him, he allegedly “posted private, intimate and sexually explicit videos and photographs” of her in retaliation.

In case you didn’t know, a lot of people are struggling and feeling down right now. Why? It seems like the future of democracy is in question, and that uncertainty is taking a toll. In response, many TV corporations are stepping in, taking drastic measures to help people cope with this widespread sense of sadness.

Even though it’s not Thanksgiving yet, you may have noticed an influx of Christmas-themed movies. It might seem odd—after all, we’re not even close to Christmas. But these movies seem to provide comfort and joy to many, so they’re being released earlier than usual in hopes of lifting people’s spirits. This is intentional! Tonight, I watched “Elf” and “A Christmas Story” on November 11th! WHAT!?

I hadn’t heard of anything like it until now. But it speaks volumes about the situation we’re in! People are turning to feel-good Hallmark movies just to get by. No judgment here, but it’s a significant statement when such extreme measures are taken to help people feel better. We know there’s a side of profit involved in monetizing people’s sadness. Because one thing’s certain: we don’t see a clear solution on the horizon. Here’s hoping for a breakthrough soon, though I won’t hold my breath!

Here are a couple Christmas lawns for yall!

Sting Unfazed By Diddy Association

By: Mike Winslow Updated Category: Rumors
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

Sting is unfazed by the controversy facing Sean “Diddy” Combs, maintaining that his iconic track “Every Breath You Take” remains a personal masterpiece.

The rapper notably sampled the 1983 hit on his 1997 tribute song “I’ll Be Missing You,” following the death of his friend, The Notorious B.I.G.

Recent legal issues surrounding Combs—including charges of alleged sex trafficking—have sparked questions from fans about whether these developments impact how Sting feels about the borrowed melody.

In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, the 73-year-old music legend confirmed his stance.

“It doesn’t taint the song at all for me,” Sting said. “I mean, I don’t know what went on with Diddy, but it’s still my song.”

Sting has looked back favorably on their 1997 collaboration, including a joint performance of “I’ll Be Missing You” at the MTV Video Music Awards that same year—a moment many fans still remember.

For Sting, the artistic life of a song continues once it’s released.

He acknowledged that other musicians have also drawn from his work, including Pink and Marshmello’s recent track “Dreaming,” which samples “Fields of Gold,” his solo hit from the early ’90s.

Rather than resist these modern-day interpolations, Sting welcomes them.

“When somebody wants to interpolate or whatever it’s called,” he explained, “I never object because I always learn something new about the song that I didn’t realize before. Plus, I get paid, so what’s the harm?”

The British rocker also described music as a living entity, constantly evolving through fresh interpretations.

“Songs are living organisms—you have to keep breathing life into them or give them new bedfellows,” he said, emphasizing his openness to collaboration with contemporary artists.

Meanwhile, Diddy, 55, has been held in custody since September, facing multiple allegations of sexual abuse and trafficking.

Denied bail, he is currently awaiting trial, which is set to take place next year.

“We didn’t have a fight. We had a big argument right outside the club,” Ray J explained before admitting that he started the argument. “This time, I think I got loud and got aggressive. But it was the third time this happened and so I felt like I needed to stand up for myself.”  

He added, “It was just a crazy night. I got over cocky and said some things that were out of bounds. I said some over the top things that had to do with sodomy and other things and I wasn’t proud of myself about what I did.”

Akon Is Back With New Music & A Positive Perspective

Akon is hoping to make a change with his new music. After going viral with “Akon’s Beautiful Day,” he opens up about his upcoming album Not Guilty, set to release in February 2025, in a recent interview with AllHipHop. He also shares his unique insights into his vision for the future of music and tech.

The Senegalese artist seeks to bring back the classic album experience—a cohesive body of work. While his song is doing millions on TikTok and YouTube, he’s not enamored with the single. He professes his love of music and the culture as he talks about artificial intelligence and addressing common fears around it. From A.I. advancements to rediscovering the value of albums, Akon highlights his desire to push boundaries and reshape the industry.

Watch the interview in full or read an edited version below.

AllHipHop: What’s good?

Akon: What’s going on, big time? I’m doing amazing! Good to see you, man.

AllHipHop: Good to see you, too. I see you’ve got that super iconic jacket on. I don’t even want to call it a “Michael Jackson jacket” because it’s your own thing.

Akon: It’s AKON-ic. You know? AKON-ic.

AllHipHop: Yeah, okay. Is that the name of the album?

Akon: Nah, nah. The album’s called Not Guilty.

AllHipHop: Not Guilty. Dropping in February 2025—looking forward to it. You’ve also got a new song out, an inspirational joint. Can you talk about why you went in this direction on “Beautiful Day,” the song in question?

Akon: Man, I just felt it was necessary. Coming back from Africa, I was listening to the music, and honestly, the vibration [In America] felt low, you know? I kept seeing clips of drill rappers losing their lives, or artists getting hit with RICO cases, locked up for 25 years or more because of lyrics. I thought, “We need to change this narrative.” Music should be about creating positive memories, not something that’s used as a tool to bring down a culture.

AllHipHop: Throughout your career, you’ve gone back and forth on different themes. Do you think it’s time to approach things differently?

Akon: I think we should have always thought differently. We tend to take the art for granted and sometimes forget the environment we’re in. We’ve rarely been seen in a positive light, and we often have to go above and beyond to get recognized. Even now, we’re protesting for things we contributed to and don’t get credit for. So, knowing that we often start out on a negative, we really should approach things from a worst-case-scenario mindset.

AllHipHop: We’re still in the tech space. I even asked AI to tell me about AllHipHop, and it responded with, “AllHipHop’s been adaptable to all the changes in technology.” I was like, okay, AI, we’re still here!

Akon: AI is a powerful tool. I really believe it’s going to be hugely beneficial for us in the future.

AllHipHop: AI.

Akon: Absolutely.

AllHipHop: Do you have any concerns about AI in relation to music?

Akon: Nah, I think it’s only going to keep growing. The main fear people have with AI is losing control over it. But honestly, that fear just comes from not fully understanding it. A computer only does what a human programs it to do. It can’t go beyond that—it needs to be programmed.

AllHipHop: So it’s not the AI or the technology we should be afraid of. It’s the people programming it.

Akon: Exactly. That’s really the only thing to fear.

AllHipHop: Right? And there are already movies showing AI with rights or even having babies.

Akon: But that’s just movies.

AllHipHop: I don’t know, man. Elon Musk is out here making things from movies a reality. What’s happening now?

Akon: True, though. A lot of what’s happening now started in the movies. Look at FaceTime; it was on The Jetsons. Self-driving cars? That all started in cartoons. Movies sometimes do predict what’s coming.

AllHipHop: Okay, let’s talk about the album. I know it’s not dropping until February, but what can you tell us about it?

Akon: This album is going to change things, hopefully. I want to bring back the old ways of releasing music with a fresh, futuristic perspective. Right now, it’s all about singles. Everyone’s focused on dropping one single at a time, afraid to release a full album. But what made music amazing was the experience—a whole body of work with a theme.

I want to bring that vibe back, so I’m planning something for the fans. People are impatient nowadays; they don’t want to wait until the end of February. So, I’ll be offering a chance to buy a physical copy of the album before the official release date.

AllHipHop: Oh, nice. That’s good money, too.

Akon: You going to love this album, bro. I promise you. I promise this album is going to change the game. I promise.

Denzel Washington Reveals “Black Panther 3” Role Years After Chadwick Boseman Praise

Denzel Washington has announced an upcoming role in Black Panther 3, years after the late Chadwick Boseman said the movie franchise wouldn’t exist without the Hollywood legend. 

While Marvel Studios is yet to confirm a third Black Panther film, Washington revealed director Ryan Coogler is writing a part for him.  

He discussed his future acting roles during an interview with Australia’s Channel 9 Today show to promote his latest appearance in Gladiator 2. 

“At this point in my career, I’m only interested in working with the best,” he shared. “I don’t know how many more films I will make, probably not that many. I want to do things that I haven’t done.” 

He continued, confirming that he will join the Marvel Cinematic Universe after playing the roles of Othello and Hannibal. 

“I’ve been talking with Steve McQueen about a film,” he added. “After that, Ryan Coogler is writing a part for me in the next Black Panther.” 

Chadwick Boseman Honors Denzel Washington

Touchingly, Chadwick Boseman, lead actor in the ground-breaking superhero blockbuster Black Panther movie, paid tribute to Denzel Washington in 2019. 

He spoke at the 47th American Film Institute Life Achievement Award ceremony honoring the two-time Oscar winner, revealing he kicked off his career with an acting course Washington quietly paid for. 

“There is no Black Panther without Denzel Washington,” Boseman declared. “My whole cast; that generation stands on your shoulders. The daily battles won, the thousand territories gained, the mini sacrifices you made for the culture on film sets through your career. The things you refused to comprise along the way laid the blueprints for us to follow.” 

Washington revealed his delight at Boseman’s acting career during a 2022 interview.  

“When I found out it was him, he wasn’t known yet,” Washington explained. “But it obviously worked out very well for him and he had great success and was a brilliant actor.” 

Young Thug Father Slams T.I. & ATL Rappers For Using Thugger For Clout

Young Thug’s father, Jeffrey Williams Sr., is venting his frustrations over rappers, including T.I., who he claims ignored his request to hold an event during the YSL trial but was quick to share a video of them following Thug’s release. 

During a recent conversation on his “Nothing But the Truth Podcast with Big Jeff,” Williams, Sr. questioned where Young Thug’s supporters were while he was locked up. 

“We got all these rappers and everybody trying to find Young Thug,” he said. “Where your ass been for 29 months? Why y’all ass ain’t been out there protesting for his constitutional rights being violated? Y’all are the ones considered to be the influencers. Ain’t influencing s###.” 

He continued, “Now, you want to talk to him, you want to g###### put out these monkey-ass videos, all this for your personal gain. It’s just for your personal gain, your personal hype, trying to make yourself relevant. Where have y’all been for 29 months?” 

From there, Williams Sr. called out Atlanta rappers, berating them for not fighting for Young Thug during his incarceration.  

“I don’t see why you deserve no brownie points for that,” he stated. “Because I guarantee, if the shoe was on the other foot, he’d have been fighting for you. He would have been fighting for you, hands down, without trying to make a prop for his name so he can get some clout.” 

Young Thug’s father also name-dropped T.I. specifically, claiming he reached out the him to throw an event during the trial.  

“I was told, ‘Let me get with my people and see can I do that,’” Williams Sr. recalled. “But yet, I see you, right there beside young Thug. That’s when he needed the help. That’s when he needed your support. Let’s be for real.”

Rumors of an affair between Jim Jones and Brooke Bailey recently exploded online amid speculation the rapper had split from his longtime partner Chrissy Lampkin. 

Furthermore, Jones is said to have ditched Chrissy Lampkin and secretly married Basketball Wives LA star Brooke Bailey. 

Despite the rampant rumors, Brooke Bailey denied marrying Jim Jones and claims they’ve never even met. 

“I am not married to Jim Jones, she said during an interview on the “TFU Podcast” that aired Monday evening (November 11). “Let me tell you guys something this is the craziest viral that I’ve ever been in my whole entire life. ’Cuz I like wake up one day, I do my whole routine, read my devotionals and positive stuff and then I go on my Instagram and I see like fake pages, like you know, ‘You took Jim.’” 

Bailey said she was baffled by the messages, given that she’s single. She had no idea the Diplomats rapper was the so-called secret husband in question, even after seeing an avalanche of comments on her TikTok and Instagram accounts. 

“I’m not even thinking that you know like ‘cuz that’s so f###### random,” she said. 

Furthermore, Bailey praised Jones’ partner of twenty years, calling Lampkin “beautiful.”  

“I love Chrissy,” she gushed. “I don’t know her personally but I’ve watched her over the years you know and I’m a girl’s girl, I don’t need to steal nobody man.” 

The speculation surrounding Jim Jones and Brooke Bailey’s supposed secret marriage surfaced shortly after a cryptic post from Chrissy Lampkin. 

However, the happy couple seemingly laughed off the rumors in a recent Instagram post.

Diddy “Freak Off” Guest Makes Shocking Claims Of Minors “Dressed As Harajuku Barbies”

A party guest at one of Sean “Diddy” Combs‘ notorious “freak offs” has made shocking claims about what she witnessed at the event, including apparent minors “dressed up like Harajuku Barbies.” 

An aspiring singer-songwriter told TMZ that a Saudi Prince invited her to one of Diddy’s exclusive parties in 2018. Tanea Wallace recounted her experience in the documentary, TMZ Presents The Downfall of Diddy: Inside the Freak Offs.

According to the outlet, Wallace described an all-night party that went on until after 7 a.m. that included groups of seemingly intoxicated people having sex. She also said celebrities were present at the event, mentioning a well-known rapper. 

Disturbingly, Wallace also allegedly saw “little people” “all huddled up” in a corner. She said she was unsure if they were “being admired” or “hid,” and described them as “dressed up like Harajuku Barbies. Red lipstick looking like, real sexy. Revealing like. Cute.”  

When pressed if the “little people” were adults or minors, the outlet reports that she confirmed that they were underage.  

Diddy recently denied allegations he assaulted minors in a letter to the court asking them to expedite his request for a gag order.  

The request followed a claim by a grand jury witness who claimed to be in possession of videos of Diddy abusing several minors.   

The letter accused the witness of ” making false and outrageous claims, including that the witness possesses videos of Mr. Combs involved in the sexual assault of celebrities and minors.” 

However, a judge denied the request, citing the need to safeguard free speech. 

Uncle Luke Slams Hispanics Over Trump Votes: “Black People Not Going To March For You”

Uncle Luke is calling out the Hispanic community over their support for Donald Trump in the 2024 election, insisting the Black and brown coalition is over. 

The Miami rap legend and activist is a staunch Kamala Harris supporter. He was stunned that Hispanic voters came out for Trump and argued the President-elect’s mass deportation plans would come back to haunt them.   

Furthermore, Uncle Luke believes Black people will no longer show solidarity with Hispanics. 

“All y’all who didn’t vote for Kamala, y’all stupid ass gon’ get deported,” Uncle Luke began. “Y’all having marches and s### already. We are not going out there to march. Black people are not going to march for you. I’m sorry, we will not be marching. It’s no more such thing as Black and brown people. It’s Black. We will not be marching with you.” 

Donald Trump Prioritizes Mass Deportation

According to Reuters, Donald Trump gained increased support among Hispanic voters with a 14-percentage-point swing from the 2020 election. A reported 46 percent of self-identified Hispanic voters picked Trump, up from 32 percent in 2020. 

Trump has since doubled down on his campaign promise of the mass deportation of millions of people. During a recent post-election interview, he vowed that ensuring a “strong and powerful” border was among his top priorities for taking office in January 2025.  

“It’s not a question of a price tag. It’s not – really, we have no choice,” Trump told NBC News. 

Uncle Luke continued saying “the line got drawn” when Donald Trump was elected. “We already know where we stand with all y’all,” he added. “Like people know they stand with white women, Black people know where they stand with Hispanics. We thought y’all were our friends.” 

He concluded with a shot at Hispanic voters. “Now you got to worry about the little Black ladies who sitting there looking out the window calling the people on you,” he joked. “Hey ICE. They going to be singing the song. ‘Ice Ice Baby.’”

Lizzo clearly caught wind of AB’s reaction but instead of returning fire, she responded with grace, turning the jab into an Instagram caption. 

“Holding life like an ozempic pen,” she wrote alongside a series of swimwear selfies from her tropical haunt.

Lizzo has been on a personal transformation journey and has shed the pounds in the process, sparking rumors she’s taking the controversial Type 2 diabetes drug Ozempic for weight loss. She denied the gossip in a video posted in September, reacting to comments about the drug.  

“When you finally get Ozempic allegations after 5 months of weight training and calorie deficit,” Lizzo wrote on a video. 

Meanwhile, she laughed off the rumors by dressing up for Halloween as a fictional weight loss drug called “Lizzo,” which was intended to mimic Ozempic. The costume included the tagline: “Need Self Love? Try Lizzo! Lose Guilt. Gain Confidence.”

Young Thug fans are patiently waiting for the rapper’s musical comeback following his release from jail, and a new video featuring Future, Travis Scott and Lil Baby with Thugger in the studio has social media in a frenzy. 

On Monday night (November 11), a video surfaced online featuring Thug and some of his most frequent collaborators. Although it’s unclear when the clip was recorded, some fans claimed the iPhone 14 appears in the footage.  

The phone, the first to feature a Dynamic Island, was released in September 2022, months after Young Thug was locked up following his arrest in May 2022.

Days after his release, Young Thug hinted at a Lil Baby collab. “Wham let’s drop one on these rats Peter,” he tweeted. Baby responded via Instagram Stories, writing,  “#whatwhamsaysgoes,” and billboards with the phrase began appearing across the country.  

Young Thug also appeared to be cooking up something with T.I., who shared a video of them in the studio with Thugger declaring, “I’m back, Jack.”   

However, days later, a tweet-and-delete from Thug caused a stir on social media. Young Thug took aim at Gunna in a shocking twist.  

Gunna, stop acting like we’re friends on the internet,” Thug tweeted. “I don’t know u my guy.”

Gunna has faced allegations that he snitched on Young Thug since making a plea deal in the YSL trial. While Thug was rumored to be supportive of Gunna and even sought permission to work with him as a condition of his release, the post suggested otherwise. 

As for New Young Thug music, it remains uncertain if the studio video was recorded recently. An alleged “First Day Out” track has surfaced online, with many fans sharing it, but it appears to be AI.

Tyler, The Creator is opening up to fans about the intricacies of his latest album, CHROMAKOPIA, as it continues to dominate with impressive commercial sales numbers.

On Sunday (November 10), the Los Angeles native enlisted his Twitter following for an exclusive question-and-answer session, soliciting their late-stage revelations about the album now that listeners have had nearly three weeks to sit with the project. Coincidentally enough, Tyler’s CHROMAKOPIA earned yet another appearance on top of the Billboard 200 chart after the 160,000-plus units it sold during it’s second week of tracking helped extend its run at the No. 1 spot for another consecutive week.

“from CHROMAKOPIA, did anything grow on you, catch your ear after some time, took a while to click?” Tyler, The Creator questioned in his initial tweet.

As responses poured in from fans, Tyler proceeded to engage with several users, in turn revealing multiple golden nuggets about the album while praising a host of his collaborators. In response to a fan celebrating his decision to work with English singer-songwriter Lola Young, Tyler also gave flowers to Willow Smith, who he said was an “alien” and Doechii, who he said makes him “nervous” due to her talent.

“Lola voice is has so much power to it,” he wrote. “Willow is an alien that girl is f###ing special….and doe…she really has me nervous shes so good, im very lucky they’re all apart of this album man.”

Following a fan’s emotional response to his mom’s appearance on the album cut “I Hope You Find Your Way Home” Tyler revealed the specific portion of the song the user had remarked about was inspired by the limited edition collection he designed for Louis Vuitton in collaboration with Pharrell Williams.

“That was a real clip from a call when the my LV collection got announced,” he wrote. “No one knew about it, i kept it tight lipped, so she was legit shocked.”

In addition to confirming Santigold also worked on the album, Tyler also roasted haters who don’t like his “Sticky” banger featuring GloRilla, Sexyy Red and Lil Wayne and briefly touched on the double meaning of his lead single “NOID.”

A New York judge sentenced Lil Zay Osama to 14 months in prison for possession of a machine gun on November 7. The Chicago-bred rapper reacted to rumors claiming he received a 30-year prison sentence on Monday (November 11).

“Stop believing everything u hear or see on the internet!” he wrote on Instagram Stories. “You really think u can get 30 years for a switch? Hell no!! idc what state [you] in facts but switches is dangerous and carry 3 or 4 years maybe less depending on ya background but they becoming a problem in a lot of cities so it might be worse for you different strokes for different folks. I caught a blessing don’t look at my situation and think you need a switch cause it can end bad for you.”

He added, “I just wanna thank god, my kids, my family and my label for standing behind this whole way.”

Lil Zay Osama, whose real name is Isaiah Dukes, pleaded guilty to the gun charge in May. Judge Nina Morrison ordered him to pay a $10,000 fine in addition to his prison time.

“The defendant knowingly carried a fully automatic weapon, a pistol with a switch device whose only purpose is to make a dangerous weapon all the more deadly – and then carelessly left that gun in the back of a rideshare,” U.S. Attorney Breon Peace said. “[This] sentence serves as a warning that those who possess illegal guns, particularly with switches that convert those guns into machine guns, will be held accountable for their actions and for the danger they pose to our community.”

Lil Zay Osama was arrested after leaving his gun in a rideshare vehicle following a ride from Manhattan to Queens in 2022. A grand jury indicted him over the incident in January 2024.
