Eminem’s Daughter Hailie Jade Reveals Baby’s Gender

Eminem’s daughter Hailie Jade Mathers revealed that she and her husband, Evan McClintock, are expecting a baby boy.

The announcement came during an episode of her “Just a Little Shady” show, where the couple unveiled the gender by popping a balloon filled with blue confetti.

“It’s a boy!” the two cheered as moments of excitement played out for listeners.

Mathers added that McClintock was thrilled by the news, eagerly anticipating sharing his hobbies with their future son.

“Evan was like, ‘They’re going to hunt with me. They’re going to go golfing with me.’ I was like, ‘OK, well, they’re still going to Target with me,'” she told her audience.

The moment marks another significant milestone for the pair, who tied the knot in Battle Creek, Michigan, earlier this year after a lengthy engagement.

The couple first began dating back in 2016 after meeting at Michigan State University.

Interest in Mathers’ pregnancy grew in recent weeks when she subtly revealed the news in Eminem’s music video for “Temporary.”

In a playful scene shared on social media, she gifted the iconic Hip-Hop artist a Detroit Lions jersey with the word “Grandpa” emblazoned on the back.

Hints about Mathers’ pregnancy timeline were further dropped when she disclosed that she was already expecting when she walked down the aisle in May.

She shared a humorous story of her best friend stepping in to drink all the alcohol at her wedding while keeping her growing baby a well-kept secret until now.

Eminem has often referenced his daughter in his music and has yet to publicly comment on becoming a grandfather.

Rick Ross’ Ex-Girlfriend Believes God Told Her To Date Him & “Boss Up”

Rick Ross’ ex-girlfriend Cristina Mackey seems to believe she and Rozay were brought together through an act of divine intervention.

During a recent Instagram Live session, Rick Ross’ former flame opened up about the spiritual guidance she says led her into the rapper’s arms. Mackey passionately revealed that she felt God had a divine plan for her, using her brief romance with Ross as a means to an end.

“I just feel like God was like, ‘I need you to date this person real quick so I can get you where you need to go’,” Cristina Mackey shared with her followers viewing the live.

As Mackey continued to emphasize that her relationship with Ross was more than just a fling, she went on to explain that part of the higher purpose in her dating the Maybach Music boss was bring her to the city of Miami.

“What made you stay in Miami? Have you been to Miami? This place is incredible to me,” she gushed. She continued, rifling off about how she felt Miami was a pivotal location for her spiritual and personal growth even noted her mother’s approval

“’You need to be in this city,'” Mackey said.

“My mom said the same thing too. She was like, ‘God brought you here for me. Be closer to me.”

While Mackey’s comments were lighthearted at times, she stood by her belief that God had orchestrated their union as a necessary step for her journey.

“He [God] did not bring you here and be in a relationship with that man [Rick Ross],” Mackey said. “But if that was the passage or what do you call it? The route that God chose.”

Mackey and Ross’ whirlwind romance was short-lived, yet impactful. The two were spotted together several times in Miami before eventually parting ways after only six months of dating. Though they’ve since moved on, Mackey has spoken about Ross on several different occasions on her social media channels. Earlier this summer she turned up on trolls body-shaming Rozay, saying she could wrap both arms around him and that men “could never” have a chance with her.

Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl Halftime Show Could Bring DJ Mustard To Tears 

DJ Mustard is eagerly anticipating the 2025 Super Bowl and believes he’ll get emotional if halftime Show headliner Kendrick Lamar performs “Not Like Us.” 

During a recent interview, the West Coast producer weighed in on the Big Game performance. While Mustard would love to join Lamar onstage should he perform the song, he would be just as content to be present at the Superdome in New Orleans and might even tear up. 

“I definitely can’t wait to watch the Super Bowl, man. Can’t wait,” Mustard told Billboard. “This year’s going to be pretty special. I might shed a tear [if he performs ‘Not Like Us.’] I am grateful for him to perform it on stage. If he performs it on stage by himsel, doesn’t call me, I wouldn’t give a s###. Just perform it.” 

He continued, “Don’t get me wrong – call me. If you want me, I’ll slide. But I’ll be there regardless going crazy, acting like I’m on stage. If I’m in a box, they might show me on TV from how crazy [I’ll be going]. I might stand on a chair. They might show me on the TV like, ‘He’s going berserk!’”

Mustard previously revealed that the track, his first collab with Lamar, was years in the making, with the former sending the latter five exclusive beats a day before the beef.  

Despite producing the beat, Mustard heard the Drake diss for the first time, along with everybody else when K. Dot released it. 

“[When ‘Not Like Us’ dropped], I’m on my way to a baby shower,” he explained in June. “We on the freeway…I get a text saying, ‘[Kendrick] dropped again,’ then I get another text like, ‘Mustard on the beat ho’ and I’m like, ‘What the f### did I miss?’ And that’s how I heard the song on the 405 freeway, driving and I start spazzing…listening to it over and over. I couldn’t believe it.” 

In addition to scoring a No.1 debut, “Not Like Us” could be in line to win a Grammy.  

Drake Allegedly Told Chromazz To Stop Saying “N-Word” Before Charleston White Incident

Even though Kendrick Lamar said he doesn’t want to hear Drake say n###a anymore, he might want to thank Drizzy for attempting to stop a well-known Latino OnlyFans creator from saying it in years past.

In case you missed it, Toronto-based OF star Chromazz has found herself at the center of a heated controversy after Charleston White called her out during a fiery livestream with Adin Ross for her repeated use of the N-word.

In response, Chromazz took to social media to defend herself, unleashing a rant that’s already causing waves online.

https://twitter.com/FearedBuck/status/1843847871986315707

In a video she shared on her personal social media profiles, Chromazz hit back at the wave of people bashing her over her use of the word, showing no remorse in the process and claiming she doesn’t need a pass to use the term.

“I’ve seen a lot of females commenting saying men just give Chromazz the N-word pass because she’s pretty, or because she’s bad as f##k,” Chromazz said in part.

“B####, do you think I need a pass to say, N###a? Do you think I need a pass to speak the way I’ve been speaking my entire f###ing life?”

As she continued to dismiss critics who’ve condemned her choice to use the word, Chromazz attempted to shame members of the Black community for their anger and obsession over the situation.

“When somebody tries to say, ‘Oh, don’t say n###a. You can’t say, n###a, you’re not Black,’ it’s like, do you live for that word, n###a?” she said. “Is that all you f####ing live for? Why do you care so much. When I say n###a, I don’t mean Black person. I mean man, or my friends.”

The controversy isn’t new for Chromazz, who previously addressed her use of the N-word during an interview with No Jumper back in 2020. At the time, she revealed that Drake had taken her on a date and asked her to stop using the term. Despite this, Chromazz has remained adamant about her stance and defended herself once again.

“I’m just a product of my environment,” she said. “This is how I’ve been speaking my entire f###ing life.”

In another portion of the video, she also fired back at Charleston White and attempted to flip the controversy on him, criticizing him for his statements about the Black community.

“Charleston moves like he doesn’t like his own people,” she said. “I’m proud of who I am. He’s saying, ‘Oh, n###a’s nappy hair, n###a’s uneducated.’ What the f##k? Go check your n###a, my n###a. What the f##k is going on?

Staying true to her unfiltered brand, Chromazz concluded, “I don’t speak to please or offend.”

“You know what I mean? So I’m not going to walk on eggshells and pretend like I don’t say n###a. I’m a real a## b###h. So you guys should be happy I keep it real.”

Somebody get Drake on the phone and see if maybe he’ll scoop shorty up for another date and possibly talk some sense into her.

R. Kelly Denies Sexually Abusing His Daughter After Documentary Bombshell

R. Kelly’s daughter Buku Abi accused him of sexually abusing her in a documentary titled R. Kelly’s Karma: A Daughter’s Journey. Kelly’s attorney Jennifer Bonjean said he “vehemently denies these allegations” in response to the doc, which premiered on Friday (October 11).

“His ex-wife made the same allegation years ago, and it was investigated by the Illinois Department of Children & Family Services and was unfounded,” Kelly’s lawyer said. “And the ‘filmmakers,’ whoever they are, did not reach out to Mr. Kelly or his team to even allow him to deny these hurtful claims.”

TVEI released R. Kelly’s Karma: A Daughter’s Journey as a two-part documentary. Abi, who was born Joann Kelly, said her father molested her when she was 8 or 9 years old.

“I just remember waking up to him touching me,” she tearfully said. “And I didn’t know what to do. So, I just kind of laid there and I pretended to be asleep.”

Abi said she was “too scared to tell anybody” after it happened. She eventually told her mother about the incident in 2009 when she was 10 years old.

“After I told my mom, I didn’t go over [to Kelly’s home] anymore,” Abi said. “My brother and sister, we didn’t go over there anymore. And even up until now, I struggle with it a lot.”

Abi and her mother Drea Kelly tried to file a police report. Abi identified herself as Jane Doe in the complaint.

“They couldn’t prosecute him because I waited too long,” she explained in the documentary. “So, at that point in my life, I felt like I said something for nothing.”

Kelly was convicted of child pornography, child enticement, racketeering and sex trafficking charges in 2021 and 2022. He was sentenced to more than 30 years in prison. The Supreme Court declined to hear his appeal on Monday (October 7).

Interscope Geffen A&M Records Launches New HBCU Initiative

Interscope Geffen A&M Records has launched a new initiative with Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to provide support to these institutions. The first phase of the initiative will bring Interscope Records to three HBCU campuses—Howard University, Tennessee State University and Texas Southern University—during Homecoming Week.

Immersive student-led pop-ups on each campus will allow students to listen to the new vinyl album Homecoming SZN Compilation Vol. 1 and give them the opportunity to win concert tickets and capture memories at the photo booth. As part of the capsule collections, merchandise will be available for purchase, including crewnecks and t-shirts. Black multidisciplinary designer Laci Jordan created original vinyl artwork for each school and designed the accompanying merchandise.

The vinyl-only Homecoming SZN Compilation Vol. 1 is a collection of Interscope catalog songs inspired by HBCU Homecoming and includes two brand new tracks from rising Interscope artists. Custom artwork has been created for each of the three universities and for the consumer edition, which will be available here.

“Historically Black Colleges and Universities have produced some of the most prominent figures in our country’s history,” Interscope Geffen A&M Records EVP, Head of Marketing Laura Carter said. “But HBCU’s contributions to culture – especially music – have been especially profound. This is one of the many reasons why this compilation project is so important to the artists and executives at Interscope Geffen A&M Records. We want to deepen our ties with HBCUs nationwide and are excited to embark on this year-long journey.”

Interscope will make a $3 donation for every item sold to the related university. In addition, Interscope/UMG will develop HBCU-specific scholarship offerings for prospective interns and mentors and connect HBCU undergrads with HBCU alumni employees for fellowships.

“We are excited to showcase this partnership that reflects our commitment to student success and community engagement,” Texas Southern University’s Associate Vice President for Development and Alumni Engagement Charlie Coleman III said. “The contributions from Interscope Records empower our students to pursue their dreams. Together, we’re cultivating an environment where creativity, entrepreneurship, and tradition flourish as we celebrate Texas Southern University’s 97 years of rich legacy.”

Cardi B’s Next Collaboration Could Be With Vybz Kartel Thanks To Gucci Man’s Wife

Cardi B’s next collab just might be locked and loaded, thanks to Gucci Mane’s wife Keyshia Ka’Oir.

Jamaican dancehall icon Vybz Kartel wasn’t shy about staking his claim for who he wants to work with during his recent exclusive interview with Ka’Oir. And of the stars he’s got his sights set on, it appears the rapper highest on his list is none other than Cardi B. While speaking the wife of the Atlanta rap legend Gucci Mane, Kartel made it clear that Cardi is his number one of when it comes to his short wish list for American collaborations.

“Definitely Drake and definitely Cardi B,” he stated, emphasizing his interest in linking up with the Bronx rapper. Ka’Oir playfully confirmed Cardi’s admiration for Kartel, saying, “Mrs. Cardi, she love you. I know.”

Kartel responded with his signature style, “Yeah mon. Cardi. I’m a G mon. Yeah mon. Big up Cardi mon. One Bacardi, ya know?” Kartel’s excitement was palpable as he shouted out Cardi’s fanbase, declaring, “Bardi gang mon out mon. It’s in the one Bronx.”

Cardi B wasted no time responding to the shoutout, taking to Instagram Live to share her enthusiasm with, “I heard Vybz Kartel want to do a song with me. You need to cook up the best muthaf##king song for us. You got to cook it up, that m############ song.”

https://twitter.com/itsKenBarbie/status/1844368263658295487

For fans speculating how serious both of the artists may be when it comes to making the record happen, Cardi appeared to hint that she’s ready to put in work, saying, “I got to do so much,” signaling her team to help lock-in with her and commit to making this collaboration happen.

Kartel’s interest in collaborating with major American artists comes just as he’s adjusting to life outside of prison. Jamaican dancehall star Vybz Kartel and his co-accused were released from prison on Wednesday (July 31) after serving 13 years behind bars. According to the Jamaica Observer, the Court of Appeal ruled against retrying the men for the murder of Clive “Lizard” Williams, resulting in their release.

The court stated, “We conclude that the interest of justice does not require a new trial to be ordered.” It added there was sufficient evidence to suggest Kartel wouldn’t be able to complete a potentially longer sentence if there were to be a retrial, citing the “psychological and financial effects that it would have on the appellants.”

Kartel’s defense also made note of the severe lockdown conditions he’s been in since 2011, describing his holding as a brick cell with no air circulation, no water and a bucket for a toilet.

Charleston White Arrested For Assault & “Killing, Poisoning Or Injuring” Animal

Charleston White was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon and cruelty to non-livestock animals in Texas on Thursday (October 10). Tarrant County records note the cruelty charge was for killing, poisoning or causing serious bodily injury to an animal without the owner’s consent.”

White remains in custody at the Lon Evans Corrections Center in Fort Worth. Bond amounts weren’t listed for his charges.

The internet provocateur was previously busted for the same charges in 2023. White’s return to jail proved to be a bit ironic as he routinely antagonized rappers, claiming he would get them put behind bars.

Earlier this year, White declared he would get Boosie Badazz thrown in jail for threatening a promoter. White said Boose intimidated a promoter to block the controversial influencer from appearing at a show in the rapper’s hometown of Baton Rouge.

“I’m waiting for the FBI to send me the right kinda number, n####, ‘cause I’m finna make a report on your m############ ass,” White said. “The man called your name specifically. The promoter specifically said your m############ name, Lil Boosie. He implemented you and implicated you. B#### ass n####, you finna go back to jail. You gon’ be on yo knees. Them knees finna be bleeding again, diabetic freak.”

White also beefed with Tia Kemp, a polarizing social media personality and the mother of Rick Ross’ eldest son.

“[She] is a horrible Black mother,” White declared. “Her public words towards her sons father, affect the child! This is one of the main reasons I chose not to have a child with a Black woman! She’s emasculating her male son by publicly shaming the father of her son! She’s a disgrace as a Black mother.”

Kemp said White would regret speaking about her. The two dragged their kids into the online mess, violating Instagram’s community guidelines on bullying and harassment.

GloRilla Fans Think She Disses Ex-City Girl JT On Debut Album

GloRilla dropped her debut album Glorious on Friday (October 11). Fans celebrated the project’s release and speculated she dissed former City Girls member JT on the song “Whatchu Kno About Me.”

“Bad b####, you know I’m thick as Coachella/You won’t never catch me slipping, I ain’t no f###### Cinderella, stupid b####,” GloRilla rapped.

The lyrics were believed to be a shot at JT since her first solo mixtape was titled City Cinderella. Earlier this year, GloRilla and JT clashed on social media. JT claimed GloRilla never shut down a rumor about the CMG rapper slapping the ex-City Girl at an awards show.

“I been said she didn’t! She the one went radio silent!” JT wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter). “Played into, released a song about slapping rap b###### now it’s female unity?? CORNY!!!!!”

GloRilla referenced the rumor on the song “Aite,” which appeared on her 2024 mixtape Ehhthang Ehhthang.

“Me and JT ain’t the best of friends but we ain’t beefing,” she rapped.

JT accused GloRilla of being “messy and phony.” GloRilla defended herself, saying she was trying to clear the air on “Aite.” The attacks became more personal as the two women argued online.

“Hoe shut yo dumb ass up & fix dem uglass wigs I said it ain’t no beef ho you da one with da secret animosity,” GloRilla wrote.

JT fired back, “B#### your UGLY NO sex appeal got dragged for trying to be seductive at the awards crying to your label cause you was tired of crump dancing! You are a Glock toating pit pull that need to stay in her G fazos your not a Cinderella hell your not even a step sister, b####!”

EXCLUSIVE: Diddy’s Motion For Immediate Release Denied, Must Wait On Appeals Court

Diddy hasn’t given up on getting out of jail before his sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy case goes to trial. His bid for immediate release was denied, but a three-judge panel will consider his motion for bail.

“The motion for bail is referred to a three-judge panel,” an October 11 filing noted. “The request for immediate release pending decision on the bail motion by a three-judge panel is denied. The motion to seal is granted.”

Diddy, whose real name is Sean Combs, was ordered to stay in jail on Thursday (October 10). The Bad Boy Records founder proposed a $50 million bond with GPS monitoring and visitor restrictions. Judges deemed him to be a flight risk and threat to witnesses.

“In light of the proposed conditions, the actions Mr. Combs had already taken regarding the investigation, and Mr. Combs’ lifetime commitment to live up to his obligations concerning every challenge he has ever faced, he should be released to fight this case in court and prove his innocence,” his lawyers argued. “Sean Combs has never evaded, avoided, eluded or run from a challenge in his life. He will not start now. As he has handled every hardship, he will meet this case head-on, he will work hard to defend himself, and he will prevail.”

Diddy was indicted for sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution in September. He pleaded not guilty to the charges.

“For decades, Sean Combs … abused, threatened and coerced women and others around him to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation and conceal his conduct,” Diddy’s indictment alleged. “To do so, Combs relied on the employees, resources and influence of the multi-faceted business empire that he led and controlled – creating a criminal enterprise whose members and associates engaged in, and attempted to engage in, among other crimes, sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery and obstruction of justice.”

Diddy’s trial is scheduled to begin in May 2025. He remains in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.

The Hip-Hop mogul faces up to life in prison if convicted. His sex trafficking charge carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years behind bars.

Snoop Dogg Hints At “Final Big Stadium Tour” Following “Missionary” Album 

Snoop Dogg just teased fans with a major announcement ahead of his upcoming Dr-Dre-produced Missionary album, revealing he’s likely to hit the road for one “final” stadium tour and teasing some unexpected features on the project.  

The multihyphenate rapper discussed his album, among other projects during a recent appearance at Bloomberg Screentime conference. The host questioned why he hasn’t done a big stadium tour, considering how lucrative they’ve been for some of his peers.  

“When it comes to big tours like that, you got to have a record,” Snoop Dogg explained. “Yeah, I’m able to go on tour just because of the catalog that I have. But this new record Missionary is going to put me in a position to probably have that final big stadium tour.” 

Snoop Dogg Reveals “Exciting” “Missionary” Features

Snoop then teased his “exciting” “big name” features, revealing that Rock legend Sting and country music star Jelly Roll will appear on Missionary.  

“I don’t know if I can say right now,” he admitted before letting the cat out of the bag. “I got a feature from Jelly Roll and Sting.” 

He also shared that his Sting collab is “so good,” and was happy that meeting him was all he hoped it would be.  

“We hung out and we chilled,” Snoop recalled. “Like a child that’s infatuated with somebody as a singer, and you get a chance to meet them and they give you everything you expected. That’s what happens with me all the time. I meet people I’ve always wanted to meet and they’re everything I wanted them to be.”  

In other Snoop Dogg news, a judge officially cleared the Death Row Records boss’s 1993 murder charge earlier this year. The judge ruled back in February, although the news was only reported this week.  

Snoop was acquitted of the charges at a 1996 trial and the recent decision means the record is hidden from the public and won’t appear in official background checks.  

Missionary has no official release date but is expected in November.

Yo-Yo Shocked Over Rumors Diddy Allegedly Involved In Tupac Shakur’s Murder 

West Coast rap pioneer Yo-Yo has known Sean “Diddy” Combs for decades and was shocked to learn of the abuse allegations against the mogul. 

Yo-Yo shared her reaction to reports of Diddy’s alleged abuse during a recent curbside interview with TMZ

“I hate to kick a man when he’s down,” Yo-Yo began. “That’s why you do good, good comes back to you. Keep your hands clean. A lot of stuff that wasn’t done is being blamed on him and a lot of things that were done he’s getting charged for.” 

She added, “It could have been me, I could have been at the Diddy party, but I wasn’t.” 

Yo-Yo was particularly disturbed to hear the allegation linking Diddy to Tupac Shakur’s murder.  

“We go back,” she added. “I’ve known Puffy my entire career and to hear a lot of the allegations that were put against him, I was very shocked. Even the Tupac situation, all that stuff is you know … Tupac and I were very close. So, [to] hear all this stuff, is like well you know I mean…” 

Yo-Yo Reflects On Relationship With Tupac Shakur

Yo-Yo spoke to AllHipHop about her relationship with the late rapper during a 2019 interview, revealing they were like “brother and sister.” She also revealed that she was in the hospital in Las Vegas with Tupac when he passed. 

“I thought he was gonna live, let’s just start there,” she explained. “He was very strong. My presence was known, he looked at me. He knew I was there.” 

Earlier this year, Page Six reported Tupac Shakur’s family is considering a wrongful death lawsuit against Diddy.  

“People from Diddy’s past are coming forward and providing info,” a source told the outlet. 

Murder suspect Duane “Keefe D” Davis implicated the Bad Boy Records founder in past statements to police. The embattled mogul has denied any involvement in Tupac’s murder for years.  Keefe D is set to go on trial in November. 

Jailed U.K. Rapper Digga D Sends American Girlfriend $130K To “Flip It” 

Digga D may be behind bars on charges of supplying cannabis, but he’s still taking care of business, sending his girlfriend a stack of cash to flip while he’s locked up. 

The U.K. drill trailblazer livestreamed his arrest back in February during a dramatic police raid. While he awaits his fate at a hearing later this year, Digga D sent his girlfriend a whopping £100,000 (roughly $130,000). 

However, the cash wasn’t a gift but an investment, as Digga’s girlfriend Tweetie revealed on TikTok. 

“If you know, you know, my boyfriend is in jail right now and he gave me $100,000 to flip it,” she explained. “I can do whatever I want with it, like whatever business that I want to start, basically.” 

Digga D didn’t have high hopes, telling his girlfriend that “boys hustle harder than girls.” Tweetie already has a few ideas for the cash and is determined to exceed his expectations.  

“He think I’m gon’ fumble the bag, but I’m not” she asserted. “I’m a double the bag.”

Digga D Returns To Court In December

Back in May, Digga D pleaded guilty to a charge of smuggling cannabis and admitted supplying cannabis between 26 October 2022 and 21 February 2024. 

However, the prosecution refused to accept the basis of his pleas, claiming Digga D supplied cannabis on “a commercial scale,” per BBC

Digga’s lawyer argued that the rapper only supplied cannabis socially and any suggestion to the contrary was “bravado.” 

The judge adjourned the case to a hearing on December 23 where the court will determine which version of events to accept. The judge will then pass sentence.  

Meanwhile, fellow U.K. rapper Loski made a recent surprise revelation following his release from prison. Despite the apparent tension between them, Loski revealed that Digga D wrote to him in prison. He called Digga “strange” but suspects he just wants to be friends. 

Death Row Records Co-Founder Harry-O Is Building Community After 33 Years in Prison

Michael “Harry-O” Harris, a former drug kingpin turned philanthropist, has been working tirelessly to bring about positive change since his release from prison three years ago.

After serving 33 years, Harris has dedicated himself to bringing unity to Hip-Hop and community. Harris infamously started Death Row Records, along with Suge Knight and Dr. Dre, using his monies obtained from the game. But now he’s moving very differently.

Harris recently talked to AllHipHop founders Chuck Jigsaw Creekmur and Grouchy Greg Watkins and shared his plan. He organized a performance featuring one-time rivals Rick Ross and Trick Trick in Detroit to represent the strength of community.

“I just think that we always find different ways to divide ourselves,” Harris said. “Community First is about coming together, leaving the past behind, and focusing on big business.”

Harris believes Hip-Hop can strengthen communities. He aims to keep organizing more events that feature local and major talent. He has already been to Atlanta, Detroit and Philly. Harris advocates for community engagement at every level, ensuring that voices from all walks of life are heard.

“We’ve made mistakes before by not involving the community,” he said. “It’s about talking to people and asking what they want to hear, what they want to see, and what policies they want implemented.”

Harris also discussed the need for Hip-Hop artists to embrace their political influence, especially during election season.

Rappers aligned with political figures like VP Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, but said they need to be as active in holding politicians accountable.

“It’s about who’s going to talk about real issues and stand behind them,” he said.

Harris, community reinvestment goes beyond just rhetoric. He has been vocal about directing resources from Opportunity Zones into underserved communities.

Harris has also called for increased federal support for trade programs and school choice to drive sustainable change. “We have to pick things that we know we can zero in on and hold people accountable for,” he asserted. “If we don’t take action, we lose our power.”

Check out our full interview with Harris as he talks Death Row (literally and the record label), Suge Knight, coastal beefs, Denzel Washington, Snoop Dogg and much more.

DDG Put On Blast By TikToker Who Clapped Back At Baby Mama Insult 

DDG has had a rough time since announcing his split from the mother of his baby son, Halle Bailey, raging online at Joe Budden and many others who criticized him in the wake of the split. 

Earlier this month, DDG announced his breakup from The Little Mermaid actress. Since then, he’s engaged in a “digital war” with the “Joe Budden Podcast” host, although the “Pump It Up” hitmaker recently had a change of heart concerning the Pontiac, Michigan rapper.  

In addition to going off on Budden, DDG also lashed out online against many of his critics amid the breakup. However, he got a taste of his own medicine when a TikToker turned his insult back on him. 

He responded to a creator who claimed, “DDG definitely trapped Halle with that baby,” stitching her video alongside his response.  

“You got two kids but no baby daddy,” he said, revealing he searched her social media posts. “But you worried about me? Don’t make sense to me. Y’all need to stop bro.”  

Flashing the camera to show son Halo in the background, DDG continued, “I’m a father. I’m in my child’s life. Worry about your baby daddy. Why are you worried about me?” 

DDG Gets A Response

DDG later deleted his video. However, the TikToker swiftly fired back with a video scrolling Halle Bailey’s Instagram feed and highlighting the absence of any photos of DDG. 

“So now that we got that out the way, you’re nowhere on Halle’s page, right?” she began. “It’s funny that you tried to use me being a baby mama as an insult when you turned her into a baby mama your damn self. Why would I have my ex-husband on my page?” 

Emphasizing that she married the father of her two children, the creator then turned the tables on DDG. 

“Did you ever marry that girl? Was there a secret wedding I’m unaware of?” she asked. “Very weird read considering that you made that girl a f###### baby mama. To use baby mama as a f###### insult when you baby mama’d her, is f###### wild.”

50 Cent isn’t backing down after suing a jeweler for using his name and image to promote an imitation version of the G-Unit honcho’s cross chain. 

As AllHipHop reported, 50 Cent sued Maksud Agadjani and TraxNYC for trademark infringement on Thursday (October 10), but the jeweler hopes he has a change of heart. 

Hours after reports of the lawsuit, Agadjani hopped on his Instagram Story with a video message, invoking the symbolism of the cross to appeal to 50 Cent. 

“The cross is meant for forgiveness, redemption, forgiveness of sins,” he said. “Forgive, forget. Let it go, brother.”   

However, 50 Cent is not known for his forgiving nature concerning financial misgivings. In fact, the Hip-Hop and entertainment mogul is notorious for collecting on all debts (by Monday), something the jeweler should have considered.  

50 Cent reposted Agadjani’s plea alongside a message of his own. “Let me think about it,” he teased before adding, “Nah you tried to play with me ! You know the vibes by Monday.”

50 Cent Advises Jeweler To Talk To A Lawyer

A short while later, 50 Cent returned with a post from Agadjani’s Instagram Story. It appears the jeweler was trying to shift the pieces quickly. “Get ‘em before they’re gone,” Agadjani wrote alongside the knockoff crosses.  

“This fool took my custom piece copied it, then posted this 7 hours ago using my likeness to sell them. He must don’t know how this works,” 50 wrote in the caption. “If he talks to a lawyer they would tell him this is not good.”

Before 50 took legal action, Agadjani brazenly boasted about copying the rapper’s custom piece to promote his knockoffs. 

“Guess what 50 Cent?” he said in one video. “We just jocked your style.” 

Agadjani further taunted 50 Cent by tagging him in an Instagram post earlier this week. Thanking him “for the inspiration,” Agadjani wrote, “I’m sure you won’t mind.” 

However, 50 Cent did mind and let him know in the comments. “This was a bad idea,” he replied. “You will regret doing this I promise.” 

GloRilla Drops Debut Album “GLORIOUS” Featuring Gospel Twist & Star Collabs 

GloRilla has unleashed her debut album, GLORIOUS, after feeding her fans a steady stream of hits. 

Since bursting onto the scene in 2022 with her catchy song “F.N.F. (Let’s Go),” the Memphis native has risen up the rankings with viral anthems including “Yeah Glo,” and “TGIF,” and has worked with some of Hip-Hop’s biggest stars, collaborating with the likes of Cardi B and touring with Megan Thee Stallion. 

On Friday (October 11), GloRilla unveiled GLORIOUS, a 15-track project including features from top names like Latto, T-Pain, Muni Long and many more.

In addition to the album, GloRilla dropped the visuals for her collab with Sexyy Red, “Whatchu Know About Me.” The track samples Boosie Badazz, Foxx and Webbie’s “Wipe Me Down,” and Boosie makes a cameo in the music video.  

Giving a nod to her roots, Glo teamed up with Kirk Franklin and other gospel musicians on “Rain Down on Me.” Franklin revealed he “fell in love with her personality” and was “was attracted to the purity, the spirit, of her desire to work with me.” 

After joining Megan Thee Stallion on the Hot Girl Summer Tour, they reunite on “How I Look.” However, they have entertained the prospect of creating an entire collaborative album. 

“Megan is a real rapper, and I’m also a real rapper,” GloRilla told Billboard earlier this year. “We actually be talking and coming with bars on some down South gangsta s###. [It would be] some down South, real turnt, real rap [s###].”  

Megan Thee Stallion was equally enthusiastic about the idea.“I think that would be very fire,” she added. “I ain’t gon’ say too much, but it feels like it’s going to get done.”

Offset Seems As Amused As Cardi B When It Comes To Rumors About Their Relationship

It’s likely that Offset knows something that we don’t based on his recent reaction to the swirling rumors about Cardi B and a notable NFL player.

Throughout the past few weeks, social media trolls and Internet sleuths have linked the “W.A.P” rapper to Houston Texans’ wide receiver Stefon Diggs. Multiple fan theories allege Cardi and Diggs were intimate with each other during her pregnancy and ongoing issues with Offset. However, Cardi appeared to deny the allegations in a recent Twitter Spaces livestream she hosted, during which she described the rumors as “cute” in addition to dubbing the Internet as “insane”.

Offset was either amused or triggered by Cardi’s response to the rumors, given the fact that he not only liked a post that AllHipHop shared covering the incident, but also voted in a poll speculating the validity of the entire situation. While it’s hard to tell exactly which option the “Ric Flair Drip” rapper voted for in the poll, it is clear that his presence on the post was almost as entertaining as the messy tea being instigated by it.

“Nahhhhhhh what did Set vote? Lol,” a user questioned in the comments section of the post.

“Not offset voted too,” one user wrote in a comment.

A number of users were just as curious as we were as to what Offset’s vote was, considering the poll options asked individuals to vote based on their belief that either the fling happened and or Cardi was lying about it, or that it was all completely fabricated and or folks are nosey.

“What he vote lol,” one user questioned, to which another replied, “Thats what everybody wishing it would say cuz it don’t tell u it only shows who voted.”

Another user remarked on Offset’s interaction with the post by highlighting the unusual nature of the entire saga unfolding between the former Migos rapper and the mother of his children.

“What makes it funnier is the fact that Offset voted and they still live in the same house,” the user wrote.

While it appears as though Offset is taking all of this lightly and in stride as he continues to navigate he and Cardi’s pending divorce, it has become increasingly unclear whether or not the pair are reconciling or simply trolling each other in a bitter back and forth.

No matter the case, it would appear as though one could make the educated guess that Offset isn’t truly threatened by the rumors about Cardi and Diggs. Well, it’s either that, or he’s trying to downplay the whole thing to save face.

Safaree Gets Dragged By Reality TV Show Cast Member Over Failed Relationship With Nicki Minaj

Safaree may never live down the fact that Nicki Minaj is the proverbial “one that got away” from him and his recent interview promoting the new season of the latest reality tv series he is apart of is proof of it.

In a recent press interview promoting season two of Peacock’s#### reality show House Of Villains, Safaree’s fellow cast member Wes Bergman took a shot at him over his past relationship with rap superstar Nicki Minaj. Alongside Teresa Giudice, the trio discussed the emotional highs and lows the show brings, but things quickly turned personal for Safaree when the topic of his ex came up.

“It felt good to let it out because I have a lot of things built up inside me and I’m never able to express myself,” Safaree said while reflecting on his experience sharing his feelings on the show.

However, the moment took a harsh turn as he revealed that Wes, whom he confided in, had used his vulnerability against him.

“I thought I could put my trust and talk to Wes,” he said. “And the things I was saying to him, he would make fun of me behind my back to other people.”

Bergman not only appeared to confirm Safaree’s claims about being bullied, he didn’t hold back when it came to his thoughts on Safaree’s past.

“His life’s been downhill since that breakup,” Bergman said unapologetically with a smirk. “He peaked, he beat me there.”

The tough lover banter continued as Bergman followed up the comment with another dig.

“Her career skyrocketed the second that she left him, he bluntly.

Though the trio was laughing at the remarks at his expense, Safaree seemed visibly affected and managed to get the last word in as he responded “I left.”

“Don’t listen in the Wes,” he said while chuckling, assuring viewers he’s in on the joke.

While it’s unclear how recently the segment was shot, it is certainly evident that Safaree is still holding on to some piece of the relationship he and Nicki shared based on his decision to support her amid her Gag City Reloaded Tour. In a video AllHipHop shared, Safaree attended the Miami leg of the concert wearing a denim vest similar to the one he and Nicki notoriously argued about in a vlog while the pair were still dating nearly a decade ago. In one of the videos, Safaree was singing Nicki’s recent hit “FTCU” word for word with concertgoers in the crowd, presumably before he left after she brought her husband Kenneth Petty on stage. In a tweet he shared following his appearance at the concert, Safaree claimed he has nothing but love for Nicki, whom he says he is “proud” of.

Safaree and Nicki Minaj dated from the early 2000s until their public breakup in 2014. Throughout their relationship, Safaree was not only Nicki’s partner but also her hype man and collaborator, contributing to several of her early projects, including hits such as “Did It On ‘Em” and “Roman’s Revenge.” Their split marked the end of a decade-long partnership, and Nicki’s career continued to skyrocket post-breakup, while Safaree embarked on his own path in reality TV and music.
