Friends and collaborators Megan Thee Stallion and Latto refused to fall for it, with the former writing “B#### ho,” alongside several crying with laughter emojis and the latter adding “gone on.” 

T-Pain dropped off sad face emoji, Maxo Cream said, “I know yu lyin,” while Fabolous commented, “Pregnancy Glo.”  

Many in the comment section referenced Glo’s “RAIN DOWN ON ME,” which includes the lyrics “Even though he hate me, Lord, watch over my baby father.” 

Meanwhile, others still pointed out that GloRilla showed no hint of a baby bump in recent appearances.  

The Memphis native muddied the waters even further on her Instagram Story. “Was so sick of hiding & sucking my stomach in lol,” she wrote.

Earlier this month, Glo donned a skimpy two-piece while filming the “WHATCHU KNO ABOUT ME” visuals with Sexyy Red. Additionally, she wore an equally revealing fit during her performance at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards in September.  

Furthermore, during a recent interview, GloRilla revealed that while she would like children someday, she has no desire to get carry a child.  

“I want to do a surrogate,” GloRilla shared. “I want somebody else to have my baby.”   

She added, “I just don’t want to actually have a baby,” explaining that “all my friends have kids, and they’re restricted a lot when they’re pregnant. I’m like, ‘Nah, I don’t want to go through that.’”

“I have a very versatile West Coast sound that is very relatable and adaptable. Feel good music with a street passion behind it.” – ShaqO

October 25, 2024 – Los Angeles-based artist ShaqO (@shaqooooo), originally from Rialto, California, is closing out the summer with his self-titled EP, ShaqO. This highly anticipated project has been a long time coming and features six tracks of ShaqO having fun, vibing, and showcasing that he’s here to stay and continue to make a name for himself. Capitalizing off the momentum of his viral single “Go Friend,” featuring India Love, ShaqO continues to deliver hits that compliment his west-coast, party vibes. 

ShaqO, whose real name is Shaquille Clark, adopted his artist name from a high school trend where friends would add “O’s” to the end of their names. This playful start has evolved into his artistic identity, with ShaqO now solidifying his place in the music industry through his latest release. “It’s about me solidifying myself in music and letting people know I am here,” he says. 

The EP represents his journey and determination to thrive despite any obstacles, including his personal challenges with disability. “I want people to know this is real and this disability doesn’t mean anything. Ima still pop my s**t every time,” he emphasizes.

Describing his sound as a “very versatile West Coast sound that is very relatable and adaptable,” ShaqO brings a blend of feel-good music with a street passion behind it. For those new to his music, ShaqO recommends starting with his track “Mr. Do It Up,” which perfectly captures his unique style and high-energy.

Inspired by a wide range of West Coast artists from various eras, along with the classic sounds of oldies, ShaqO’s music reflects his passion for authenticity and self-expression. “I love music because it allows me to be who I am. It gives me a chance to express everything and be honest,” he shares. His career goals are as ambitious as they are grounded—aiming to sell out shows and make a significant impact in the industry while staying true to himself.

Following the release of the ShaqO EP, fans can look forward to more singles dropping in October and a series of upcoming shows. His message to his fans is clear: “Always remain true to yourself no matter what people say.”

EXCLUSIVE: Diddy Goes After Homeland Security Agents In New Gag Order Attempt

By: Kyle Eustice Updated Category: Exclusives
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

Diddy (real name Sean Combs) and his legal team continue to accuse the federal government of leaking the Cassie Ventura assault video to CNN.

In court documents obtained by AllHipHop, attorney Marc Agnifilo is asking the judge to enact a gag order “as partial relief for the government’s leaks of confidential, damaging and false information to the press.”

The docs state, “The defense believes that Exhibit A accomplishes the intended purposes of the requested relief—to ensure that leaks, as well as damaging and false information which are undermining Mr. Combs’ right to a fair trial stop, while including reciprocal restraints on the defense. The proposal also reinforces the parties’ existing obligations under the Protective Order and Local Criminal Rule 23.1.

“Unfortunately, however, we are unable to submit Exhibit A as a joint proposal, because after extensive back and forth since the October 10 conference, the parties were unable to reach agreement on the order. We did narrow the disputes, however, and understand that most, but not all, of the language in Exhibit A is acceptable to the government.

They continue, “At this juncture, the Court’s intervention is critical because agents involved in the investigation have continued their leaks and their damaging and false information to the press in the wake of the October 10 status conference, only heightening the need for the gag order to be issued as soon as possible.”

The documents go on to cite several examples of inside “sources” involved in the investigation spoke to CNN. Agnifilo insisted “the principal disagreement between the parties stems from the fact that the government continues to resist language that will ensure that the order covers all the agents who may be exposed to grand jury materials and other confidential information related to the investigation and prosecution of this case.”

Diddy has been behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Center since his arrest on September 16. He’s charged with multiple RICO charges, including sex trafficking. He pleaded not guilty.

The Bad Boy Records’ mogul children came to their father’s defense earlier this week as the lawsuits keep piling up.

“The past month has devastated our family,” they began. “Many have judged both him and us based on accusations, conspiracy theories, and false narratives that have spiraled into absurdity on social media. We stand united, supporting you every step of the way,” the post continued. “We hold onto the truth, knowing it will prevail, and nothing will break the strength of our family. WE MISS YOU & LOVE YOU DAD.”

As for Diddy, he’s been mostly silent on social media with the exception of one Instagram post he shared on October 15. The post served as a birthday greeting to his youngest daughter Love.

“Happy Birthday to you!” he wrote in the caption. “Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday baby Love! Happy Birthday to you!! Happy Birthday @loveseancombs daddy loves you.”

Lil Uzi Vert Fans Think New Album Is Coming Very, Very Soon

By: Devon Jefferson Updated Category: Rumors

Lil Uzi Vert is more than likely about to drop a new album. The release of the new LP signals a return to form for the Philadelphia rap star.

The “Money Longer” rapper has appeared to be in album mode for quite some time now. Uzi deactivated both his Instagram and Twitter accounts and has shown no signs of activity on social media for months now. Well, that is outside of countless leaks and unreleased music surfacing via fan accounts on social media. In fact, one of the latest leaks to hit Instagram captures Uzi energetically wrapping over a whistle reminiscence of the jingle that was made famous by McDonald’s.

A post shared by Wav Guide (@wavguide)

Aside from the rampant leaks, fans may now have concrete evidence supporting their theories that Lil Uzi is set to release the follow-up to the Pink Tape soon. For starters, the covers of Uzi’s albums for the aforementioned, along with his 2016 project The Perfect Luv Tape, were recently updated with the logo for Eternal Atake 2. Additionally, Uzi also shared a new single entitled “Uzi The Earthling (TV Show Theme)” on DSPs such as Apple Music and Spotify. It serves as their first release since a string of 2023 singles, which included “NFL” and “Red Moon.”

If this is indeed the start of the rollout for Lil Uzi Vert’s upcoming album, the rapper definitely has big shoes to fill when it comes to living up to fans’ expectations.

Last year, the Pink Tape achieved significant commercial success, debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart with more than 167,000 album-equivalent units moved in its first week. It marked Uzi’s third No. 1 album on the chart. Several tracks from the album made appearances on the Billboard Hot 100, including “Just Wanna Rock,” which became a viral sensation. The album received a gold certification within a few months of its release, cementing its place as one of Uzi’s most successful projects to date.

Rotimi Reveals 50 Cent Orchestrated “Money By Monday” Beef To Recoup Investment

By: Devon Jefferson Updated Category: Rumors

Rotimi has revealed that he and 50 Cent were in cahoots together when it comes to the public shakedown the G-Unit mogul subjected him to on social media.

During a recent interview, the “Power” series star explained that the 2019 incident in which 50 Cent threatened to punch him in the face over the success of his Walk With Me EP in a series of Instagram posts was actually a calculated campaign to recoup on his investment.

“Walk with you, yeah I’m a walk with you to the bank. This s### is #1 I need to see that bag,” Fofty mocked the R&B singer in a series of Instagram posts in May 2019. “I want to punch this n###a nose Rotimi got the #1 RNB album time to pay me on gang.”

Rotimi set the record straight about what really went down behind the scenes, admitting that the entire drama was a staged publicity stunt coined by 50 Cent with the intent to boost the success of his EP after it reached No. 1 on the R&B Album Apple Music Chart.

“There is truth to the $300,000 that I did owe him,” Rotimi began, explaining that the debt stemmed from his music deal with 50 Cent.

“Anyone who has a deal knows that the label puts up money—it’s basically a loan.”

Rotimi continued, laying out the situation he was in after 50 Cent let him out of his contract, explaining that while he still owed him the sum, Fifty had agreed to be paid back through “mechanical” royalties from his music. But just as Rotimi was starting to settle into his newfound independence, 50 Cent had another plan in mind.

“He calls me one day, and he’s like, ‘Yo, I got an idea,’” Rotimi revealed. “‘I’m going to say you owe me $300,000. I’m going to say I want to punch your face in. I’m going to say I don’t f**k with you’,” he recalled Fifty telling him.

At first, Rotimi was stunned.

“I’m hearing this, and I’m like, wait, wait, wait,” he recalled.

But 50 assured him it was all part of a bigger strategy to keep his EP at number one.

“’TMZ is going to call you tomorrow. This is going to call you tomorrow, and we’re going to keep this number one,’” he recalled 50 Cent predicting before the psuedo event even played out.

And for the most part, the rapper-turned-TV-mastermind was right! The drama played out perfectly, as 50 Cent took to social media repeatedly, blasting Rotimi and making it seem like their friendship and professional relationship had soured, despite the fact they had just spoke about their plan over the phone.

“Three minutes later, ‘yeah, this muthafucka, I can’t stand this muthafucka,” Rotimi laughed, recalling how convincing 50 was in his posts.

“I’m like, ‘Oh, he’s crazy,'” he said. “So now everybody’s calling me, blowing my phone up like, ‘Oh s##t, what did RO do? He’s going to get kicked off the show. 50 doesn’t f##k with him.’ So I’m like, ‘Oh, please, I hope this works. Making me sound crazy right now.'”

A post shared by Somidraztalk (@somidraztalk)

Rotimi admitted that 50’s plan worked like a charm. His record, “Love Riddim,” began to blow up with the drama only amplifying its popularity.

“All of a sudden, we start seeing that the record is going crazy,” he said said. “I’m driving around New York, and all I’m hearing is ‘I don’t say too much.’” As the song stayed at number one for two weeks, Rotimi acknowledged the genius behind 50’s unconventional approach.

“That was the brilliance of 50 Cent,” he admitted.

Though, looking back on the incident now, it’s certainly all fun and games. However, at the time it all occurred, 50 Cent appeared to become a one-man wrecking crew on social media as he relentlessly sought after numerous individuals who allegedly owed him money. In addition to Rotimi, Fifty called out Bow Wow for allegedly stealing money from him meant for strippers, in addition to other artists he was at odds with who had real debts for him.

Cardi B is currently going through a divorce. She repeatedly disparaged her estranged Offset in a series of Twitter (X) posts on Tuesday (October 22).

“Bro I wish the worst on this man,” she wrote. “I never hated somebody soooo much and these b###### be so [thirsty] to have him please take this man off my hands this garbage bag is to heavy!!”

She added, “I don’t wish him death ..but I truly hate this dirty ass narcissistic p############…. And his family and his friends never check him that’s why he always going to be a p############ of a Person … I [want] him to get hit by a f###### truck.

Young Thug’s RICO Trial On Verge Of Mistrial

By: Justin Ivey Updated Category: News

Young Thug’s arduous RICO trial may finally end due to the prosecution’s perceived sloppiness. A mistake during the questioning of a witness led to calls for a mistrial on Wednesday (October 23). Judge Paige Reese Whitaker left defense attorneys, prosecutors and observers hanging as nothing was decided before the court adjourned for the day.

The defense sought a mistrial after the prosecution’s witness Slimelife Shawty mistakenly revealed Young Thug’s co-defendant Quamarvious Nichols was previously incarcerated. The jury was not supposed to know Nichols spent time in jail or prison.

“You cannot unring that bell,” Nichols’ attorney said.

Prosecutors asked Slimelife Shawty, whose real name is Wunnie Lee, about a hashtag on an Instagram post. He read “Free Qua” aloud while looking at an unredacted copy of the evidence. The prosecution wanted him to identify a different hashtag on the post. The jury was shown a redacted version on a courtroom monitor.

Judge Whitaker scolded the prosecution for not properly preparing their witness but refused to grant a mistrial with prejudice. A mistrial with prejudice would’ve prevented prosecutors from retrying Young Thug and his co-defendants.

“I do not believe that [prosecutors] are purposefully trying to insert error into this trial to make y’all ask for a mistrial so that they can try this case again,” the judge said before turning her attention to the prosecution. “I think it is continued [mistakes]. And I am sorry y’all have this gigantic, ginormous universe of evidence that maybe if you narrowed down you would not be making these kinds of mistakes, but I believe that to be a mistake. So, I’m gonna deny a motion for a mistrial with prejudice.”

Judge Whitaker asked if the defense wanted a mistrial without prejudice. Nichols’ lawyers said yes, which would result in a mistrial for all the defendants. The other defense attorneys wanted to discuss the matter. When they returned to court, the judge abruptly wrapped things for the day

Young Thug’s trial began in 2023. If the defense is confident the rapper and his co-defendants will be found not guilty, they may risk continuing the trial. Moving forward could cause problems in the appeals process.

A mistrial without prejudice would allow the prosecution to get a redo. Young Thug could catch a break if Fulton County D.A. Fani Willis loses her reelection. Her Republican challenger claimed she would dismiss the YSL RICO case if elected in November.

Elon Musk Claims Eminem Participated In “Freak Off” Parties But Gets Exposed Over Diddy Ties

By: Devon Jefferson Updated Category: Rumors
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

Elon Musk was clearly triggered by Eminem‘s appearance at Vice President Kamala Harris’ recent rally in Detroit, and as a result, he threw a mini tantrum on Twitter (X) that back fired on him.

The entire debacle started when Musk caught wind of a report from TMZ detailing the plans for Eminem to introduce Obama at Harris’ rally in The Motor City. More specifically, Musk replied to a thread shared by the account @AutismCapital which disparaged Eminem and described him as a “guy who rapped about killing homosexuals with a chainsaw, chopping his wife in front of his daughter, his disdain of his poor white trash audience and being banged by bisexual p###.”

The Tesla mastermind wasted no time in adding to the shameful rhetoric within the thread and appeared to directly link Eminem with the alleged “Freak Off” parties that are currently at the center of Diddy’s federal indictment on sex trafficking and racketeering charges.

“Yet another Diddy party participant,” Elon Musk wrote in a tweet in the thread.

In another tweet, Musk posted crying laughing emojis in reaction to a video of Obama rapping Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” which former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy re-shared along with a video of himself rapping the song, also.

“C’mon Barack, if you’re going to do it, might as well do it right,” Vivek wrote in the tweet.

However, while Musk and co. were having a laugh at the expense of others on Twitter, people were hard at work digging up receipts proving that Eminem wasn’t the only person who had close ties to Diddy. In October 2022, Musk reportedly told Detavio Samuels, then CEO of Revolt Media Company, that he and Diddy were “good” friends. The receipts of their conversation appeared in the book New York Times Journalists Kate Conger and Ryan Mac authored entitled Character Limit: How Elon Musk Destroyed Twitter.

“I don’t know if you know this, but Puff [Diddy] is an investor in Twitter,” Musk reportedly told Samuels. “You know he’s a good friend of mine. We text a lot.”

In the same thread Musk made the allegations that Eminem had ties to Diddy, an X user exposed him for his aforementioned comments, writing, “Is that you?”

But hold on, it gets even deeper! It’s worth noting that Diddy was indeed listed as one of 95 investors in Musk’s Twitter platform in a list that was filed in a federal court in August 2024.

Hit-Boy has revealed to his fans that his father Big Hit has unfortunately been incarcerated once again in his latest social media post.

On Wednesday (October 23), the West Coast producer shared a video of an inmate FaceTime call with Big Hit in which he petitioned his listeners and supporters to continue buying his music and merch while he’s locked up. In the caption of the post, Hit-Boy shared an earnest and thought-provoking update about the status of his father’s incarceration.

Though the message he shared with his followers was fairly brief, it gave his fans an insight to his thought process as it relates to how aggressively he and Big Hit had been moving, at least when it comes to releasing new music.

“People used to ask me what was I on dropping so much music and moving around with my pops so much, in the back of my mind the paranoia of him going back was always there and here we are,” Hit-Boy wrote in the caption of the post. “We don’t know what the future holds but Big Hit sends his love to all his supporters. He recorded over 700 songs when he was out so we got more music otw.”

A post shared by AllHipHop (@allhiphopcom)

Big Hit, whose real name is Chauncey Hollis Sr., was released from prison in May 2023 after serving nine years in federal prison. Hollis Sr. spent almost 30 years of his life in prison. He previously served a 15-year sentence after being caught with 10 kilos of cocaine, 10 guns and $300,000 in cash.

Additionally, he also served a 12-year sentence over his connection to a hit-and-run accident. In an interview with Men’s Health in January, Big Hit recalled the first thing he did the day he was released from prison.

“I got out of state prison on the morning of May 5th, 2023,” Big Hit said. “I got right in the Uber to my son. It cost $700, and I was at my son’s studio in North Hollywood at 11 at night. The first thing I did was hug him and tell him how much I missed him. My memory of the first moment when I touched down at the studio was the expression on my son’s face being genuine love. It was heartwarming.”

The father and son duo were swift in their resolve and collaborated on a number of releases in 2023, including nine of the 10 songs that appeared on Hit-Boy’s recent SURF OR DROWN Vol. 2 album. Last December, Big Hit delivered his debut album The Truth Is In My Eyes, which was produced in its entirety by Hit-Boy.

A second teen was arrested on Tuesday (October 22) for his alleged role in gang-affiliated rapper YBC Dul’s shooting death. Rashawn Williams, 18, was charged with murder and aggravated assault, per Philadelphia County court records. He remains in custody with a bond of $2 million. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for November 12.

YBC Dul, whose real name was Abdul Vicks, was shot and killed in Philadelphia on August 23. Police said two shooters were involved in the drive-by attack.

The late rapper was shot multiple times while he was at a stop light. A vehicle pulled up next to him and opened fire at the driver’s side of his car. Bullets hit YBC Dul in his chest and hand. A passenger rushed him to a local hospital, but he was pronounced dead shortly after his arrival.

Authorities apprehended Aiden Waters, 16, for his alleged role in YBC Dul’s murder on September 5. Waters was linked to multiple shootings in Philadelphia. He was accused of killing another teen and injuring three people.

Waters was charged with two counts of murder, six counts of attempted murder and eight counts of aggravated assault, among other charges. Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner said Water is a member of the Fastbreak gang.

YBC Dul was featured in a YouTube video titled “The Most Hated Rapper in Philadelphia: Life as Mr. Disrespectful” the day before he died. He discussed violence in the city and boasted about his Young Bag Chasers gang in the video released by YouTuber Brandon Buckingham.

Kanye West Gives Fans “Bully” Album Update But No Release Date

By: Justin Ivey Updated Category: News
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

Kanye West unveiled the cover art for his upcoming solo album, Bully, on Wednesday (October 23). The polarizing rapper/producer recruited Japanese photographer Daido Moriyama to create the black-and-white cover art.

Moriyama is best known for his high-contrast black-and-white photographs. The 86-year-old photographer won the Hasselblad Foundation International Award, touted as the Nobel Prize for photography.

While West allowed fans to see Bully’s cover, they’re still waiting for the album’s release date. Considering Ye’s track record, any release date is more of a rough estimate. His projects have repeatedly been delayed or dropped a day later than expected in recent years.

Bully will be West’s first solo album since 2021’s Donda. Earlier this year, he released two albums—Vultures 1 and 2—with Ty Dolla $ign under the name ¥$.

West is currently facing assault allegations from his former assistant Lauren Pisciotta. Ye’s ex-employee accused him of sexually assaulting her at one of Diddy’s studio sessions. Pisciotta said she was given a drink “laced with an unidentified drug.” She had no memory of what happened that night until Ye later told her they “kind of hook[ed] up a little.”

“She could not stomach the fact that she worked for the man who had sexually assaulted her against her will while she was drugged, who then successfully lured her back into his orbit by way of a job opportunity to sexually assault her all over again,” Pisciotta’s lawsuit declared.

Pisciotta originally sued West in June then filed an amended complaint in October.

A legal rep for Ye accused Pisciotta of “blackmail and extortion” when she first sued him over the summer. The rep claimed Pisciotta was fired for being unqualified, demanding an “unreasonable” salary and “numerous documented incidents of her lascivious, unhinged conduct.” The rep said her lawsuit was filled with “baseless” allegations.

Cam’ron Roasts Angel Reese Despite Previously Shooting His Shot  

By: London Jennn Updated Category: News

Cam’ron and Ma$e poked fun at Angel Reese after the WNBA star opened up about her finances.  

During a recent Instagram Live, the Chicago Sky power forward revealed she “wouldn’t even be able to live” on her $74,000 basketball salary alone.   

“I just hope you know the WNBA don’t pay my bills at all,” she stated. “I don’t even think that pays one of my bills. Literally, I’m trying to think of my rent for where I stay at [in Chicago]. Let me do the math real quick.”    

Reese began to make the calculation but admitted that she didn’t know how much her salary was and was unsure if she had paid her car note.  

After noting her rent was $8,000 per month, Reese added, “I’m living beyond my means!”  

Cam’ron, who previously offered to pay Angel Reese’s WNBA fine, was unimpressed with her remarks and roasted her on the latest episode of his sports talk show “It Is What It Is.”  

“I didn’t like the video cuz there was a few things that threw me off,” he said. “I’m not gonna say things that I usually would say ‘cuz I like Angel Reese and I think she is cute. But it was just certain things that…”  

From there, Cam’ron recounted Angel Reese’s conversation about her bills, expressing his “personal disappointment” over her calculations.  

“First, she don’t know how much she make a year, let’s start there,” Cam joked. “Secondly, she says, ‘How much is my rent?’ So, you don’t you don’t know what your rent is?”  

Judging from his remarks, Cam’ron is no longer interested in Angel Reese.  

“You know, I come up here and I act like I only want w#####,” he said. “That’s why I’m single cuz I can’t find it all. I want everything.”  

Cam’ron Fails To Meet Angel Reese’s Height Requirement

Nonetheless, it appears Cam’ron was never in with a shot with Angel Reese in the first place. In addition to the considerable age gap, Reese, who stands at 6-foot-3 tall recently revealed her man must be several inches taller than her. 

“He gotta be tall,” she said of any potential partners on her “Unapologetically Angel” podcast. While Reese set her requirements at “six-seven, six-eight,” Cam’ron once told ESPN, “It ain’t like I’m 6’7”, I’m 6-foot with shoes on.”

After getting the jokes off, Cam’ron acknowledged that Reese likely has “a lot of money” coming in from endorsement. He also advised Reese to watch her money and the people around her very closely.  

“I don’t know if she’s having fun or whatever, but in all seriousness, Angel Reese, make sure you stay on top of these financial advisors, these accountants, these people taking care of your money. Because they’ll steal your s### in the middle of the night.”

The iconic Brooklyn-bred artist said she will have a starring role in the upcoming series Angel, a spin-off from the popular Dutch and True to the Game franchises.

“I play a detective who really wants to be good, but sometimes, in order to close the case, she’ll ‘make the glove fit,’” MC Lyte said, describing her character, Detective Monroe. “She’s a bit hardcore, but it’s fun to play her. Plus, the production company is all Black, which makes it even more exciting to be a part of something so huge.”

MC Lyte, who’s portrayed detectives in previous roles, admitted that Hollywood seems to like her in law enforcement roles. “Maybe I just look like I’m about to figure things out,” she joked, although she noted she’s got range. “In Queen of the South, I played a bad guy, a patient killer. I was Jamie Hector’s sister in that, which was a great experience.”

Lyte’s success in front of the screen won’t limit her. She’s now setting her sights on directing.

“As an actor, I’m good. But as a director? That’s where my passion is,” she said. “I had my directorial debut a couple of years ago with a short called Break Up in Love, which is online now. It won a couple of awards and we even went to Cannes, which I wasn’t expecting at all. Now I’m looking to develop more projects and see them through from start to finish.”

MC Lyte is still a trailblazing rapper that recently released a new album called 1 of 1. The Warryn Campbell-helmed project features Common, Lil Mama, Ghostface Killah, Muni Long, Big Daddy Kane and Stevie Wonder. Listen below.

50 Cent has revealed the advice he gave Drake following the battle with Kendrick Lamar, and despite the general consensus, the G-Unit boss doesn’t believe Drizzy took a loss. 

During a recent interview with Billboard, 50 Cent compared Drake’s status post-battle with his own position following the release of his third studio album, Curtis, in 2007. 

“They wanna see you go up, but they want to see you come down — because if you don’t, how am I gonna have my chance to go up?” he explained. ”Drake is in that position right now. They trying to resist the music, because he put out some things that are dope.” 

He continued, “I was telling him, it’s not him. I’m listening on the outskirts, it’s not you. Don’t let yourself think that for a second. On some real s###, I said, ‘They said you lost, okay. Well what did you lose?’ What exactly did he lose if he got $300 something million on his last tour? You didn’t lose a m############ thing, man.” 

50 Cent Believes Kendrick Lamar & Drake Revolutionized Rap Beef

Like many of his peers, 50 Cent believes the battle was “good for Hip-Hop” and “made both of them create quality material faster.” 

He also marveled at the intricate Easter-egg laden disses, particularly from Kendrick Lamar.  

“It was about the lyrics, but that s### was on a different level,” he exclaimed. “The f–king [good kid, m.A.A.d city] car in the video. That s### was a mystery. Everything was tied to something. I was like what the f###? That wasn’t in Hip-Hop before that.”

While 50 Cent faced criticism for not “automatically” backing K. Dot because of their mutual ties to Dr. Dre, the “In Da Club” rapper disagreed. 

“And I love Kendrick, but I’ll say it to you — I didn’t see where what [Drake] did was wack at any point,” 50 Cent stated. “They giving [Drake] the, ‘Oh you wack, you finished.’ I’m like, ‘Nah, come on.’ That’s the system trying to make some sort of resistance and it’s from the consistency.” 

Meanwhile, 50 Cent revealed his upcoming Las Vegas residency is set to be spectacular with cinematic special effects.  

“I could do things in the show I couldn’t do if it was a moving show,” he said. “I can actually expand it. Don’t think there’s not a part of this that got me into the film production. I’m able to add that into it. The technology’s so different.”

Nicki Minaj has once again denied getting a nose job while throwing shade on anybody who might have surgically altered theirs to copy her. 

On Tuesday (October 22), Minaj hopped on Instagram with a PSA about her nose.  

“Hey guys I hope no one went and altered their nose,” she began. “Honey chile, I have had a what I called a pointy nose, with or without contour, with or without filter, since I was born, okay. My mother told me two things about it, she said I have a hump on my nose. She said it was a witch nose and she said it was from my Indian side.” 

Nicki Minaj continued, with another shot at anybody who got a nose job to imitate her. 

“But I’m still happy I left my nose alone,” she added. “So I hope none of y’all went changing y’all nose hoping or thinking that I changed mine.” 

While it’s unclear who the NYC hitmaker shaded, some fans suggested she was dissing Megan Thee Stallion. They pointed to Nicki Minaj’s “Bigfoot” diss, which included the lyric “soon as your new nose heals.” 

Meanwhile, after denying a nose job, Nicki Minaj turned her attention to an unnamed business associate questioning why they’re not “honest and upfront.” 

“You may take so many different things, but I beg of you don’t even try to take me [for an] idiot, OK,” she added. “But why is it that people find it so difficult to just be upfront about their intentions in business? Why is it always let’s play Blue’s Clues.” 

Nicki Minaj recently opened up about embracing her looks, admitting she couldn’t stand looking at photos of her younger self.  

“When you turn 30, 40, 50, milestone ages, especially for women—your confidence just grows and grows,” she said during an appearance at Vogue‘s Forces of Fashion last week. “You just start understanding yourself better. And when you understand yourself better, you forgive yourself. You’re able to love yourself, and you’re able to love the imperfections that you never loved before.”

Dame Dash is reacting to the allegations against Kanye West from a former employee who accused him of drugging and sexually assaulting her at a studio session with Sean “Diddy” Combs. 

The music industry veteran weighed in on the former Roc-A-Fella signee during an interview on America Nu Network. 

“No matter what, Kanye is my brother so I’m going to always hope that what’s said is not true,” he began. “If it is true, then, you know, I feel bad that the girl had to go through that. But as a person that’s been accused of sexual assault and went through a whole trial and got the press of the accusation, but didn’t get the press of when I won the case knowing it was b#######, you know, I would have questions.” 

Dame Dash continued, “Something happened that she was uncomfortable with and then she went to work with him. So, I would wanna understand why that happened, you know? Right now, in this very moment, every day, there’s gonna be lawsuits, and you’re gonna have to filter through the b####### ones and you’re gonna have to see the ones that will really stand up in court.” 

Kanye West Faces Lawsuit From Former Employee

In June, West’s former assistant, Lauren Pisciotta, sued the rapper for sexual harassment and wrongful termination, claiming she was owed $3 million in severance. However, earlier this month, Pisciotta filed an amendment to her lawsuit alleging Kane West drugged and assaulted her, stating that she hadn’t recalled what allegedly occurred until “much later.” 

West’s lawyers previously dismissed Pisciotta’s allegations as “baseless.” They say she used her sexuality “to coerce employment and other material benefits,” and attempted to blackmail West when “her advances were rejected.” 

Dame Dash concluded by saying that lawsuits are “part of the game,” and he’s always on the receiving end of them. He added, “It’s really important to know if you’re gonna be on TV, or be in the public eye, it is important to know the rules of what you could say and what you can’t. When they say that you have freedom of speech, it’s freedom of speech with guidelines.” 

Check out the video above, Dame Dash comments on Kanye West arrive around the 51 minute mark.

“Tell me why I snook an swab this baby dna test results came in….iam not the father smh [facepalm emoji],” he wrote. “It’s a bitter sweat feeling c## I was coming around to it but definitely in my best interest [prayer hands emoji] thank you Jesus [smiley face emoji].
