Cory Booker’s 25-Hour Stand Is Prototype For Political Resistance For Dems

“Impossible things against impossible odds.” – Sen. Cory Booker

When Senator Cory Booker took the Senate floor and decided to speak non-stop for more than 25 hours, he wasn’t just breaking records. The New Jersey Democrat was shaking the very core of American politics, taking a stand against the chaos brought on by figures like Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

And he did it without a break. He at no food, no bathroom breaks—just water and an uncanny conviction. It’s important to put Booker’s feat into proper historic perspective. The previous record was held by a raging racist named Strom Thurmond, who stood for over 24 hours protesting the Civil Rights Act in 1957. The Civil Rights Act of 1957, the first federal civil rights legislation since Reconstruction, aimed to protect the voting rights of African Americans by establishing a Civil Rights Division within the Justice Department and a U.S. Civil Rights Commission. Thurmond did a bunch nothing in his bigoted stand, reading from encyclopedia books and whatnot.

Booker surpassed Thurmond’s milestone by standing firmly against the crisis facing our nation today.

Big Respect.

At the outset of this historic moment, Booker made his intentions crystal clear: “I rise with the intention of disrupting the normal business of the United States Senate for as long as I am physically able.”

This wasn’t political theater. It was an urgent call to action. Booker, like others in staunch resistance, refusal to normalize unprecedented threats to our safety, financial stability, and democracy itself. Booker didn’t recite gibberish or ramble. “These are not normal times in America,” he maintained. “And they should not be treated as such in the United States Senate.”

As I watched off and on, it was clear that Booker was giving us a masterclass in the art of the filibuster. This was a meaningful act of resistance, not political stalling. Unlike the past, where we’ve seen “Lyin'” Ted Cruz reading “Green Eggs and Ham” or another senator singing the Mets’ fight song), Booker was intentional. He used every moment purposefully. His approach was straightforward. He read letters from constituents, challenge his Democratic peers, and and un-muted voices that typically go unheard. Booker stood there, ready to keep going as long as necessary.

It was a powerful reminder that public officials are elected to represent and serve us, the people. Booker took that responsibility seriously.

Booker properly crafted a contrast between himself and those across the aisle intent on doing nothing or going along with the Trump program. Republicans (and some Dems) who refuse to engage in meaningful dialogue. I won’t even get started on meaningful legislation, which is in service of the people. If they’re committed to creating chaos, Booker argues, then we have a clear choice: Resist. We, the people, must demand more from our leaders, hold them accountable, and ensure the public record reflects the truth. He put it all on the record for 25 hours.

Be clear: Senator Booker’s historic filibuster isn’t just about breaking records. It is about reminding us what true leadership looks like. We have to put it into practice, as a people and in politics. It’s about standing up when everyone else is sitting down. And it’s a challenge to all of us: will we support leaders who genuinely represent our interests, or will we continue to let the circus run unchecked?

The choice, ultimately, is ours.

Epilogue:

AllHipHop has had a longstanding relationship with Cory Booker that dates back to his time as mayor of Newark, New Jersey. During those crucial years, Booker consistently supported our community initiatives, including our popular “Social Lounge,” which brought together celebrities, academics, activists, and political leaders for engaging discussions. He showed genuine support by joining us at our office for informal gatherings we fondly remember as “Politics and Pizza.” Cory Booker’s support during that transformative period was sincere, far beyond mere photo opportunities or attention-seeking behavior. His actions, both then and now, are authentic and impactful, inspiring not only the Democratic Party but the broader community as well.

His words and legacy are like a stone thrown into a river, creating ripples we’ll feel for years. While we might not see physical protests as frequently, many Black Americans are choosing different forms of activism. The energy Booker generated resonates deeply and is an extension of what lies under the water. We’re witnessing Black communities and other people of color aligning energetically and powerfully in ways that defy conventional logic.

Thank you, Senator Cory Booker, for your unwavering commitment.

Kevin Gates Fuels Dating Rumors With Brittany Renner Video While Still Married

Kevin Gates stirred up fresh speculation about his relationship with Brittany Renner after posting a viral video on social media showing the two holding hands, despite reportedly still being legally married to Dreka Gates.

In the clip posted Wednesday (April 2), the Louisiana rapper croons along to Soul For Real’s “Candy Rain” before turning the camera to Renner, revealing their intertwined fingers. 

The two burst into laughter as Gates says, “If unbothered was a person.” He captioned the video with, “I hope this makes somebody smile today bae u kno im goofy,” and added the hashtag “#LoveThisForMe.”

The post triggered a wave of reactions, with fans questioning if Gates splt from his wife.

One user commented, “WHERE TF IS DREKA ???” while another wrote, “Kevin don’t p### me off !!! It’s gonna always be Dreka for ME !!”

Others, however, praised the chemistry between Gates and Renner, calling them “cute together” and noting how happy the rapper appeared.

Gates and Dreka have been together for over two decades, marrying in 2015 after years of dating. They share two children, Islah Koren, born in 2012, and Khaza Kamil, born in 2014.

This isn’t the first time Gates and Renner have been romantically linked. The pair previously went viral in 2022 after exchanging flirtatious and explicit messages online. 

Their recent joint appearance on DDG’s livestream on March 28 reignited rumors, and this latest video has only added fuel to the fire.

Renner, who has undergone significant personal changes recently, converted to Islam in August 2024. 

She described the shift as a “purification process. Renner also revealed she had been sober for six months and celibate for eight as of January 2025.

As of now, neither Kevin Gates nor Brittany Renner has confirmed the nature of their relationship.

Future Says Life “Will Never Be The Same” After Young Scooter’s Death

Future has broken his silence on the tragic death of longtime friend and collaborator Young Scooter with an emotional message on social media days after the rapper’s fatal accident in Atlanta.

“Life will never b the same without u my brother. I love you my [ninja] this s### unreal [heartbroken emoji],” Future wrote on his Instagram Story on April 2, alongside a video of the two together. 

Earlier this week, he tweeted, “I can hear u loud and clear my brother(street)…we got u kid.”

Young Scooter, born Kenneth Edward Bailey, died on March 28—his 39th birthday—after suffering a fatal injury while trying to flee police during a chaotic scene at a home on William Nye Drive in Atlanta.

According to the Fulton County Medical Examiner, the rapper’s death was ruled accidental. 

He sustained a deep wound to his right thigh after coming into contact with wooden fencing or debris while attempting to jump over multiple fences. The injury caused significant blood loss, and he was later pronounced dead at the hospital.

Police were initially dispatched to the scene after receiving a 911 call that falsely claimed a woman was being assaulted and dragged back into the house, with gunfire reportedly heard.

When officers arrived, they set up a perimeter. Two men fled from the rear of the home—one returned inside while Scooter tried to escape through neighboring yards.

Authorities later confirmed that no woman matching the caller’s description was found and no shots had been fired. 

Police traced the call to “Baddies” star Demetria Spence and arrested her on April 1. Cops charged Spence with transmitting a false public alarm under Georgia law. 

Spence was granted bond Wednesday (April 2).

Young Scooter Speaks On His Bond With Future

Future and Scooter’s bond stretched back to their Atlanta childhood, collaborating frequently. 

The two grew up together and remained close throughout their careers. In 2012, Scooter became one of the first artists signed to Future’s label, Freebandz. 

In a 2023 interview with AllHipHop, Young Scooter spoke about how Future’s success inspired him to pursue music. 

“I love it. Because that’s the person I grew up with and I seen it all from day one. Day zero,” he said.

Your Ultimate Guide To Surviving (And Thriving At) J. Cole’s Last Dreamville Festival

Music festivals are a heartbeat of Hip-Hop culture—and this year, it doesn’t get any bigger, bolder, or more legendary than Dreamville Festival 2025. And this is the final installment after five years.

The fifth and final installment of J. Cole’s signature music celebration returns to Raleigh, North Carolina on Saturday (April 5) and Sunday (April 6). Held in Dorothea Dix Park, this is more than just a festival—it’s a full-blown cultural moment, a reunion of vibes, bars, and basslines under Carolina skies.

The lineup? Absolutely bonkers.

Expect performances from Lil Wayne with Hot Boys and Big Tymers, 21 Savage, and of course, J. Cole, who will close out Sunday with the mystic queen Erykah Badu. There are more heavies like PARTYNEXTDOOR, Chief Keef, Keyshia Cole (celebrating 20 Years of her debut), Tems, Ludacris, GloRilla, Coco Jones and Wale. The full Dreamville roster will be present. That means J.I.D, Ari Lennox, EARTHGANG, Bas, Cozz, Lute and Omen. The weekend consists of straight fire.

But let’s be real, this is going to be a fun, but grueling couple of days. The struggle can be real. So we have you covered. Here’s your ultimate survival guide to making Dreamville Fest (and any festival, really) the time of your life.

And here is the link to all the information on the week and weekend.


1. Respect Your Feet

You might be tempted to flex with the latest kicks, but trust me: you need to relax. Between the walk from the parking lot to standing for hours, your feet will be screaming if you don’t choose comfort first. Think broken-in sneakers or even supportive, comfy boots. Leave the Yeezys at home! Or throw them away! Regardless, if you love your favorite jawns, you do not wear them to the festival.


2. Plan Your Stage Moves in Advance

Don’t wait until the gates open to figure out your game plan. The lineup is stacked, and you may have to align times, energy and bathroom runs accordingly. Download the festival app (or stalk the website) and map out your must-sees. That way, you’re not running to Tems or Ludacris like you’re Usain Bolt.


3. Hydrate Like Your Life Depends On It

North Carolina spring weather can be deceiving—sunny one minute, warm and humid the next. Combine that with dancing, drinking and you might be paying! Bring a refillable water bottle and hit those water stations. Liquor drains, water sustains. 🙂


4. Don’t Leave Before It’s Done

Sure, traffic after a festival is the stuff of nightmares. But so is missing a surprise set or last-minute guest appearance. Dreamville is famous for pulling off iconic moments. Remember last year? I recommend you stay until the last beat drops. There can be personal reasons like “I’m too old for this sh#t” then maybe it’s cool to bounce early.


5. BYOB (Bring Your Own Bud…Maybe)

Let’s be clear—not every festival is cannabis-friendly. But in certain circles (ahem, Rolling Loud), it’s basically part of the dress code. At Dreamville, while the official stance is strict, we know that some folks sneak in their own stash. I do not advise it, but if you’re going that route, be smart. Stay lowkey, and don’t overdo it. And absolutely do not partake in somebody else’s stuff.


6. Keep Track of Your Crew

Thousands of people + weak cell signal = the worst game of hide-and-seek you will ever play. Choose a central meetup spot before you enter. Trust, it’ll save you from a whole lot of “where you at?” texts that never go through.


7. Bring a Portable Charger

You’re gonna be IG-ing, texting, and using the map app to get around. Don’t let a dead phone leave you stranded when it’s time to find your car or order a Lyft. Bring a power bank—it’s a small thing that makes a huge difference.


8. Stash Some Emergency Cash

Yes, we’re in a digital world, but Wi-Fi and card readers don’t always play nice. Whether it’s grabbing a bite to eat or tipping, a little cash goes a long way.


9. Know When To Say When

Whether it’s a personal emergency, a mosh pit, or just sensory overload, have an exit strategy. Pick a meetup point outside the gates and determine which parking lot you’re in if things get crazy. Trust me—you’ll thank yourself later.


10. Enjoy the Dream

At the end of the day, Dreamville Festival is about more than just music. It’s food trucks. It’s artists. It’s part education. It’s a vibe. It’s community. It celebrates culture, creativity, and everything Dreamville stands for. There is even a week of free events (look for it)! Take in every second—this is the last edition of Dreamville Fest, and you don’t want to miss a single memory.


🎟️ Tickets are moving fast, with VIP already sold out. A limited number of two-day GA passes are still available at www.DreamvilleFest.com. Proceeds support the Dreamville Foundation and Dorothea Dix Park Conservancy, so you’re partying with a purpose.


Now go secure that pass, pack your essentials, and get ready to live your best festival life. We’ll see you in Raleigh for Dreamville.

Doja Cat Calls Out “Ignorance” & “Lies” Amid Renewed Controversy

Doja Cat pushed back against renewed criticism and resurfaced allegations after a viral podcast clip reignited debate over her past behavior and Hip-Hop credentials.

On Wednesday evening (April 2), the Grammy-winning artist took to X (Twitter) to address the backlash.

“I don’t want to stand up for myself in regards to all of these lies being told because to be honest I don’t think it will make a difference,” she began. “Maybe I’m wrong and maybe it would. Ive just learned to let ignorance be and let people learn and use their own discernment.”

Doja added, ” If you watch the ‘news’ and believe it all what kind of person does that make you? I’m enough. My music is enough. My word is enough. Everything following that is everyone else’s problem but mine.”

Doja Cat later deleted the post.

Her comments came after a clip from Apple Music’s “Rap Life Review” podcast went viral, where hosts debated Doja Cat’s place in Hip-Hop and revisited her history of controversy.

One host, Eddie, acknowledged that she was “really good at music” and “raps well” but added, “She’s not hip-hop.”

Ebro Darden brought up past incidents, including her involvement in “racial chat rooms showing feet” and wearing a T-shirt featuring comedian Sam Hyde, a figure associated with alt-right and neo-Nazi circles.

Darden also questioned, “She ain’t Black enough? She too lightskin?” and asked if she was “playing with white people too much?”

A post shared by Ebro (@oldmanebro)

Doja Cat responded to a user who said the criticism made her “mad,” replying, “I’m more angry than you know and incredibly disappointed.” When another user said critics had “ruffled your feathers,” she answered, “100%.”

Doja Cat Previous Controversies

The renewed scrutiny echoes backlash from May 2020. Doja Cat was accused of participating in online chatrooms tied to white supremacist groups.

She denied the allegations, calling them “100% incorrect.” Doja admitted, “I’ve used public chat rooms to socialize since I was a child,” but insisted she was never “involved in any racist conversations.”

She added at the time, “I’m a Black woman. Half of my family is Black from South Africa and I’m very proud of where I come from.”

More criticism followed in October 2023 when she posted a photo of herself wearing a shirt featuring Sam Hyde holding a rifle. The image drew backlash from users who said she was promoting fascist and neo-Nazi imagery.

In a later interview with Ebro Darden, Doja Cat addressed the shirt. “You can’t know everything,” she said and explained she thought Hyde was funny. She emphasized the shirt “wasn’t meant as an attack” and distanced herself from political discourse, saying, “Politics are not something that I wanna sweep into my life. I just want creativity and joy.”

Doja Cat’s upcoming album Vie is expected to drop later this year.

Kanye West Claims Bianca Censori Walked Out Over His Tweets; Tried To Hospitalize Him

Kanye West used a track from his upcoming WW3 album to confirm that Bianca Censori walked out on him after suffering a panic attack triggered by his unhinged social media outbursts.

In the newly previewed song “Bianca,” West lays bare the unraveling of their relationship, rapping, “Bianca, I just want you to come back,” and “My baby she ran away, but first she tried to get me committed.”

He continues, “She’s having a panic attack ‘cuz she’s not liking the way that I’m tweeting.”

Kanye West & Bianca Censori Split Rumors

The track, which West debuted Wednesday night (April 2), offers a raw glimpse into the couple’s apparent split, which had been the subject of speculation since February.

At the time, reports claimed both had contacted divorce attorneys following their controversial appearance at the Grammy Awards.

Bianca Censori’s see-through dress at the event, reportedly chosen at Kanye West’s urging, drew criticism and sparked renewed concern over his alleged control over her.

Insiders claimed West dictated her wardrobe, finances and even her creative output. One source alleged he sent security to follow her after she tried to leave their hotel.

Despite growing public concern, West’s spokesperson previously dismissed the breakup rumors as “unverified tabloid gossip,” insisting the pair were together in Los Angeles preparing for Valentine’s Day.

But West’s lyrics confirm the separation, and he doesn’t hold back.

He claims Censori wanted him hospitalized, but he insists he’s okay. “There’s nothing wrong with me,” he says in the song.

He also raps that he’s tracking her location through an app and compares their relationship to “the new Cassie and Diddy,” a reference that raised eyebrows given the recent serious allegations against the music mogul.

Elsewhere in the track, West says his family wants him “locked up” and claims he’s armed for protection, stating he has “heavy artillery” because people are trying to kill him.

The eyebrow-raising WW3 album is rumored to drop April 3.

Kanye West Drops “WW3” Album Details Featuring Shocking Titles & Dave Blunts Feature

Kanye West has unveiled the tracklist for his upcoming album WW3, featuring inflammatory titles and lyrics that continue his pattern of antisemitic rhetoric and controversial imagery.

Unveiled on X Wednesday night (April 2), the 11-track project includes songs titled “Heil Hitler,” “Hitler Ye and Jesus,” and “Free Diddy,” with a guest appearance from rapper Dave Blunts on the opening track.

West, who has repeatedly praised Adolf Hitler and incorporated Nazi symbolism into his fashion and music, has described his new musical direction as “My new sound called antisemitic.”

Among the lyrics previewed last month from the album’s title track, West raps, “rocking swastikas ’cause all my n##### Nazis,” followed by, “They’re telling me that I’m a bully/I’m antisemitic, fully” and “Reading ‘Mein Kampf,’ two chapters before I go to sleep.”

The song also references West’s use of nitrous oxide, with lines like “Went to the dentist and got me some nitrous/Went to the dentist and put in some diamonds.”

Kanye West “WW3” Tracklist

The tracklist also includes “Cosby,” “Dirty Magazines,” “Bianca,” “Virgil Let Me Down,” “Jared,” “Money and Fame,” and “Nitrous.”

X/Kanye West

The song “Virgil” follows West lashing out at late fashion designer Virgil Abloh, expressing unresolved bitterness over Abloh’s success.

“Imagine a n#### steal your dream and is given your crown because he ain’t wear a red hat,” West tweeted earlier this week. “Then the culture you built mad at you speaking up on it.”

The inclusion of Dave Blunts on the album follows West’s recent public endorsement of the rapper.

“Dave Blunts is my favorite rapper,” West announced. “His raps give me the energy of my tweets.”

He also shared a private text exchange where he offered Blunts access to his personal trainer, writing, “We need you to stay alive.”

West’s recent antics have drawn intense criticism for promoting hate speech, including his repeated use of Nazi references and antisemitic statements. His latest album seemingly doubles down on those themes.

SIGNS: Husband Of Indiana Teacher Threatened Teens Allegedly Having Group Sex With His Wife

A torrent of allegations against a married couple in Indiana has shocked the community after the husband and wife were accused of egregious crimes involving minors.

According to a report from KHOU11, prosecutors allege that Brittany Fortinberry, a former schoolteacher, engaged in sexual relationships with multiple teenage boys. Additionally, her husband, Nicholas Fortinberry, is accused of not only being aware of the abuse but also allegedly threatening victims into silence. Court documents paint a harrowing picture of Brittany’s alleged actions.

She’s accused of sexually abusing at least ten students while employed at schools in Morgan County. According to investigators, she provided drugs to middle school boys and coerced them into sexual encounters. One victim recounted being repeatedly drugged and assaulted by Brittany when he was just 13 years old.

In a particularly grotesque claim, one of the boys said Brittany would put her own children to bed before initiating encounters with the teens. Another victim alleged that after her arrest in a separate misconduct investigation, Brittany reached out to him and spent $600 on a group of teens for various purchases before engaging in group sex with them. Shockingly, she reportedly made the boys wear the mask from the horror movie “Scream” during these acts and allegedly threatened to kill herself if they reported her.

Other allegations detail a pattern of predatory behavior. Brittany allegedly paid teenage boys between $100 and $800 for explicit photos, sent nude images and videos through Snapchat and another app called “Session.” She is also accused of having forced boys into sexual acts despite their resistance, reportedly telling them, “Just let it happen.” One victim claimed Brittany exploited a teenager who had been asked to babysit her children, coercing him into a sexual relationship and exchanging sexual favors for material goods for other teens.

While Brittany’s alleged crimes are horrifying on their own, prosecutors say her husband Nicholas also played a disturbing role in enabling the abuse. Investigators claim Nicholas knew what his wife was doing and took extreme measures to keep her victims silent. One victim, a 13-year-old boy, recounted an incident where Nicholas directly threatened him.

“If you don’t stop what you’re doing with my wife, then I’m going to kill you in front of your family,” an investigator quoted Nicholas as saying in court documents. Nicholas allegedly added, “Do not continue to do what you’re doing with my wife until you turn 16.”

Authorities believe Nicholas was aware of his wife’s actions but failed to report them, leading to charges of intimidation and failure to report. Despite the severity of the allegations, he was released on a mere $600 bond.

The sheer magnitude of Brittany’s alleged offenses prompted prosecutors to file an extensive list of charges. In addition to previous charges, she now faces ten counts of child molestation, eight counts of dissemination of matter harmful to minors, five counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, and one count of sexual misconduct with a minor.

As more parents of victims have come forward, law enforcement has uncovered even more shocking details. The Department of Child Services launched an investigation that led to the discovery of numerous additional victims who had remained silent, highlighting the alarming scale of Brittany’s alleged predation.

Local school districts where Brittany was previously employed have released statements in response to the unfolding scandal. The Metropolitan School District of Martinsville confirmed that Brittany worked as a substitute teacher from October 2023 until her resignation in January 2024, emphasizing that no misconduct had been reported during her tenure. Eminence Community Schools, where Brittany briefly worked as a middle school math teacher, revealed that they were alerted to allegations on August 22, 2024 and immediately reported the matter to authorities. Brittany was suspended that same night and her employment was officially terminated the following morning after she submitted a resignation.

Experts warn that while sexual abuse cases involving authority figures are not uncommon, cases involving male victims often go unreported. Kristina Korobov, a senior attorney for the Zero Abuse Project, emphasized the need to take such allegations seriously, stating, “There is nothing sexual about what happens to these kids. It is a violation and it’s an exploitation.”

EXCLUSIVE: Young Thug Could Be Sent Back To Jail After Threat To Kill Fani Willis Emerges

Young Thug reposted a banned image of a testifying gang investigator and called her “the biggest liar in the DA’s office” — and now prosecutors want his probation revoked, citing what they call an escalating campaign of intimidation that has endangered lives and could derail justice.

Young Thug is facing potential jail time after Fulton County prosecutors accused him of targeting a key witness and inciting threats against law enforcement figures, including District Attorney Fani Willis.

In a motion filed on April 2, 2025, by the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office, Fani Willis asked Judge Paige Whitaker to revoke Young Thug’s probation, citing what it described as a “blatant disregard for the law, the safety of witnesses, and the integrity of judicial proceedings.”

The allegations stem from a social media post Young Thug shared on April 1.

The post included a photograph of Investigator Marissa Viverito, who was in the middle of testifying during a high-profile, multi-defendant gang murder hearing.

A judge had specifically ordered that her image not be shown. But a blogger defied that order and Young Thug reposted it with a caption that read: “Marissa Viverito is the biggest liar in the DA’s office.” The post quickly racked up more than two million views, sparking a wave of online vitriol — including threats against Viverito and her family.

One of those threats included a direct incitement to violence: “If the hate is really real, then pull up on her mama crib,” paired with a photo of the investigator’s mother’s home.

Her home address and her parents’ address were posted publicly soon after. Just hours later, the threats escalated even further.

A different social media account posted a message threatening the life of Fulton County DA Fani Willis: “I will personally make sure Fani Willis is assassinated.”

Prosecutors included that post as an exhibit in the filing and tied the online activity directly to Williams’ influence and online reach.

“This is not an isolated incident,” Willis wrote. “It is part of a calculated campaign of intimidation, harassment, and misinformation designed to undermine the legal process.”

Prosecutors argue that Williams has continued associating with individuals who use digital platforms to intimidate witnesses and public officials, pushing a narrative that undermines the court and its personnel’s credibility​.

Williams, who previously pleaded guilty and was placed on probation on October 31, 2024, was ordered to have no contact with the victims or their families.

But his online activity and association with those promoting threats, prosecutors argue, violate those terms and justify immediate revocation of his probation.

“Failure to act decisively will only encourage further attempts to threaten, harass, and intimidate those involved in this case,” Fani Willis warned.

They emphasized that Young Thug’s global reach amplifies the danger, referencing his own admission during his October 2024 hearing. “I understand how it could be twisted. I understand what it could do to the mind of people,” Young Thug told the court back then. “I promise you I am 100 percent changing that… I am smarter. It’s more things to rap about.”​

Judge Whitaker had acknowledged the rapper’s wide-reaching influence during sentencing, likening the rap industry’s public-facing drama to professional wrestling and reminding Young Thug that his words have consequences beyond music.

Young Thug is already trying to damage control, but it may be too late.

“I don’t make treats [sic] to people I’m a good person, I would never condone anyone threatening anyone or definitely participate in threatening anyone. I’m all about peace and love,” the rap star posted in response to the State’s call to lock him up.

However, the state argues that Young Thug has betrayed that trust and turned his platform into a weapon against the judicial system.

In addition to revoking his probation, prosecutors are also asking the court to hold Young Thug financially accountable for the security resources deployed to protect those targeted.

Young Thug pleaded guilty in the YSL RICO case and was sentenced on October 31, 2024. He received a 40-year sentence, with five years commuted to time served and the remaining 15 years to be served on probation.

An additional 20 years are “backloaded,” meaning they will only be served if he violates his probation terms. ​ A hearing date for the state’s revocation motion has not yet been publicly scheduled.

[Young Thug’s] probation should be immediately revoked to prevent further harm, ensure
compliance with the law, and send a clear message that witness intimidation and threats against public
officials will not be tolerated,” Fani Willis said. “The State urges this Court to take swift and decisive action by revoking [Young Thug’s] probation.”

Young Scooter’s Death: Reality TV Star Granted Bond After Deadly Hoax

Demetria Spence was granted bond Wednesday (April 2) in Atlanta after police say her bogus 911 call triggered a deadly chain of events that ended with the death of Hip-Hop artist Young Scooter.

Spence, 31, a reality TV personality who goes by Demi Blanco on Zeus Network’s Baddies, was arrested and charged with transmitting a false public alarm.

Authorities say her fabricated emergency report sent officers to a Lakewood Heights home, where chaos unfolded and led to the rapper’s death on March 28, the same day he celebrated his 39th birthday.

The judge set her bond at $7,500.

As part of her release, Spence must avoid the scene of the incident, cannot possess any weapons and is barred from contacting witnesses.

The call, which police now say was likely a case of swatting, came from a 911-only phone. The device can make emergency calls but lacks a service plan, making it nearly impossible to trace.

Swatting is a dangerous prank where someone falsely reports a violent emergency to dispatch armed police to a specific location. The tactic has become increasingly common and has proven deadly in several cases across the country.

In this case, the caller claimed there were seven men inside a home on William Nye Drive, that she heard gunshots and saw a naked woman with a baby being thrown outside.

“Okay so I’m just I’m the neighborhood watch call 911 reporting a shooting there is a literally a whole domestic dispute going on there’s like seven guys that live in his house,” the caller said.

She went on to claim, “The guys are selling drugs out of the home all you see is guys coming in and out of the house with guns then claiming a naked woman was thrown outside it sounded like they were fighting over drugs and then they started shooting.”

The caller also alleged the woman was bleeding and being held against her will.

But when officers arrived, they found no woman, no baby and no signs of a domestic dispute. Police knocked on the door and a man inside slammed it shut before fleeing.

That man was later identified as Young Scooter. He ran from the home, jumped two fences, cut his leg on wood and was injured in the process.

Young Scooter later died at Grady Hospital from those injuries. Spence was arrested in Atlanta and booked on charges related to the false report.

Police say her actions directly contributed to the events that led to Young Scooter’s death.

Damon Wayans Likens Kanye West To Homeless People While Speaking On His Rants & Music

Damon Wayans used a surprising metaphor to describe his interpretations of Kanye West’s recent social media rants.

During his appearance on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay podcast, the Hollywood star name checked multiple celebrities, such as LeBron James, Cuba Gooding Jr. and Tom Cruise, among others. One of his most interesting and likely controversial takes arrived once he and Sharpe began reflecting on West recent disturbing rants on Twitter and other social media platforms.

Seemingly using the sandwich method, Wayans slapped the good together with the bad while speaking on his thoughts about West’s abrasive rhetoric.

“I love Kanye, you know, and people are mad at him, you know, what he’s doing is wild,” Wayans said in part before making the comparison between West and unhoused individuals. “But, you know, when you see a homeless person in the street and they’re talking to themselves, you can’t be mad at them, something’s wrong, they’re sick. Right.”

Wayans also challenged public perception of West’s ramped-up rants and the stigma surrounding individuals exhibiting signs of a mental health crisis.

“Kanye, something’s wrong with him, you know, and people—I don’t listen to the homeless man yelling stuff and think, ‘oh, he mean that?'” he said. “Right. He don’t mean that. It’s just coming out.”

Wayans went on to suggest that West needs to fall back on the support of family, despite the “Carnival” rapper’s recent tirades against his own immediate family members.

“Somebody, you know, you need an uncle,” he said. “Right. Grab him. ‘Hey, come here, boy, let me talk to you. You don’t say that. You don’t do that’. Somebody who he loves and respects. Right. Does he have that in his life? I don’t know.”

In the end, though, Wayans did give West his flowers while remarking on the legacy his illustrious discography boasts.

“But I love Kanye,” he said. “He’s a musical genius.”

Wayans’ assessment of West’s words follows yet another barrage of tweets targeting his contemporaries such as Drake, J. Cole, Future, Playboi Carti and the late Virgil Abloh.

EXCLUSIVE: Tupac Shakur Song Could Vanish Over $5M Fight With Dr. Khallid Muhammad’s Estate

Tupac Shakur’s estate is now at the center of a federal lawsuit over claims it stole a powerful political speech and used it without permission.

The lawsuit comes from the estate of Dr. Khallid Abdul Muhammad, who says Shakur’s 1996 track “White Man’z World” illegally sampled Muhammad’s copyrighted speech.

The suit doesn’t just name Shakur’s estate—it also targets Suge Knight, Interscope Records, Death Row Records, Universal’s publishing arm and producer Darryl “Big D” Harper.

According to the complaint, the Tupac Shakur’s team lifted a seven-line excerpt from a 1993 lecture Muhammad gave at the “Black Holocaust Nationhood Conference.”

That speech included a direct call to support political prisoners.

That clip ended up on “White Man’z World,” a standout track from The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory, released just weeks after Shakur was shot and killed in Las Vegas in September 1996 at the age of 25.

The album dropped on November 5 of that year under his alias, Makaveli.

Meanwhile, Dr. Khallid Muhammad, a firebrand orator and former national spokesman for Minister Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam, died from a brain aneurysm in 2001. He was 53.

Muhammad had become a well-known figure for his Black nationalist views and later served as chairman of the New Black Panther Party.

The lawsuit argues that Muhammad’s voice wasn’t just background noise. In fact, it asserts that his speech gave the song emotional weight and political urgency.

The estate says that Tupac’s team never requested a license, gave credit, or paid a dime. Moreover, the complaint says the sample is still being used commercially today.

“White Man’z World” is currently available on streaming platforms, featured on radio, and licensed for various forms of distribution.

According to the estate, that ongoing use only deepens the infringement.

“His presence on ‘White Manz World’ reinforces Tupac Shakur’s role as not just an artist, but as a voice for Black empowerment and resistance against oppression. At a time when hip-hop was a leading force in shaping political discourse among Black youth, Dr. Khallid’s inclusion gave ‘White Manz World’ an undeniable authenticity, elevating it beyond music into a revolutionary message against racial injustice,” lawyer Malik Z. Shabazz explained.

Furthermore, the estate insists that the defendants had access to public records showing the speech was protected.

The suit demands at least $5 million.

In addition, it seeks a permanent injunction to block further exploitation of Muhammad’s voice, attorneys’ fees and the impoundment of infringing materials.

SIGNS: KKK’s Grandbabies Are Here—And Feds Aren’t Doing Much

Yo, what’s good, family? Illseed here, tapping in with a quick update on a troubling movement that’s got Tennessee (and those in the know) on edge. Now listen, this isn’t your granddad’s KKK—this is something slicker, more organized and deeply embedded in America’s backyard. They’re calling themselves “Patriot Front,” wrapping themselves in the flag and calling it patriotism. But underneath all those stars and stripes is nothing but old-school hate, rebranded.

NewsChannel 5 just blew the lid off this thing in Tennessee, finding out Patriot Front’s been quietly building compounds, training soldiers and preparing for what looks like war. These dudes aren’t joking around. They’re out here marching through downtown Nashville and hiding behind masks, of course. Some stuff never changes. There are reports of them popping out the back of rental trucks like some menace of a flash mobs. This is white nationalism masked in patriotism.

Jeff Tischauser from the Southern Poverty Law Center broke it down: these are hardcore white supremacists aiming to carve out a “white ethno-state” in the U.S. Their leader, a 26-year-old named Thomas Rousseau, openly says, “We’re Americans, not White Americans—’cause there ain’t no other kind of Americans than those who are White and from Europe.” Oh really?

This is spreading.

Last fall, antifascist activists tried to push back against a white supremacist meetup at Montgomery Bell State Park, not far from Nashville. But authorities seemed to be working with the racists. Protestors were kept out. Jared Taylor, the organizer of American Renaissance Conference (more reported racists) said the attendees were just “thoughtful Americans” concerned about the country’s direction. Man, that’s just coded language. Rousseau himself was there.

Cue up Joe Biden please…

Patriot Front is not all that new. They came up from the chaos of Charlottesville in 2017. , The “Unite the Right” of 2017 rally was a white supremacist convening that took place in Charlottesville. Now they are branded Vanguard America after one of their own killed Heather Heyer, a white woman. Now they’re on college campuses, flooding neighborhoods with racist stickers, flyers, graffiti—you name it. Law enforcement’s keeping tabs, but it’s a dangerous game as these dudes keep upping their tactics, staying organized, and staying dangerous.

Stay woke! Don’t let them change the meaning! Patriot Front wears patriotism as a mask, but hate is hate. You can’t hide that.

Oh and Kanye – go to hell.

Kai Cenat & Keke Palmer Are Rumored Hosts Of Revamped “106 & Park”

106 & Park is officially back—we think.

This time BET is tapping into Gen Z star power with Keke Palmer and Kai Cenat. The pair are stepping in as the brand new, but not all that new, hosts set to revive one of Hip-Hop’s most beloved platforms. I feel like I was watching this when I was a child.

Launched in 2000, before any kid now, 106 & Park quickly became the heartbeat of Black teen culture and also Hip-Hop fans. It was the BET version of MTV’s TRL. The show captivated millions daily and I was one of them. This was the PLACE for music videos, exclusive interviews, and a crazy crowd. The show was originally fronted by iconic duo AJ and Free. We’ll always love them. And then there was Terrence J and Rocsi Diaz, who we loved too. And, there were some other hosts too.

But let’s get to now.

Now, BET has announced—presumably—actress and Palmer and streaming sensation Kai Cenat are coming! Cenat is a powerhouse that brings the online generation directly into BET’s fold. And while I am looking for Free still, because she still bad af…it’s a new day.

By the way, Free and AJ are working.

Back to 2025. Rumors of the show’s revival had been swirling for months, especially after BET’s recent successes with nostalgic comebacks. Peke Palmer teased the announcement that was non-specific: “Y’all aren’t ready for what’s next!” Cenat’s involvement makes sense to me, if not the industry clowns that are looking at tradition.

Sources suggest the revamped 106 & Park will blend the traditional countdown and celebrity interviews with social media segments and viral content. We’ll see.

SZA Sympathizes With Jozzy’s Text Message Heartbreak Story

Jozzy has her followers on Instagram scrambling to confirm whether or not she is doing okay after sharing a distressing post chronicling a personal issue, which grabbed the attention of SZA.

On Monday (March 31) the singer/songwriter shared a video with her followers breaking down why she was on the brink of crashing out. To make a long summation short, Jozzy laid out the conflict she is currently going through with her significant other after they blocked her due to a disagreement.

“I’m f###### losing it right now, bro,” Jozzy said in part. “I really think I just lost my girl. Shawty has blocked me on everything. She done blocked me in every way. I can’t even email like literally.

Jozzy then broke down what the source of friction between her and her girl was in the first place. “Keep my phone face down,” she said. “It’s not this. It’s not that doesn’t mean I’m cheating.
It’s just really a natural habit that I be doing because n##### be calling me. She don’t really trip…She tripped for that. I don’t know why.”

Jozzy then reveals that her next move, which she made in good faith thinking she could do no wrong, blew up in her face.

“But we promised we was never looking at each other’s phones, but I gave in because I know I ain’t really doing nothing,” she said. “It’s the first time I’m really being very above board.”

From there, things seem to get fishy, as Jozzy details how her partner seemingly freaked out over a text exchange with an unnamed artist, leading to a heated arguement.

“And she sees this artist that text me,” she said. “She text me like late or whatever, but it was on some music s###. We artists. This is what we do. Shawty went crazy over this muthafucka. You would have thought that we was talking some crazy s###.”

Jozzy says she attempted to allow things to blow over, but that didn’t pan out the way she thought it would, either.

“She went crazy,” she said. “I’, just like I’m gonna give her a time. She’s gonna go home. She’s gonna sleep it off. All right. She has blocked me on everything bro.”

While admitting she wanted “to crash the f### out” Jozzy also made it clear that the post was meant to grab the attention of her significant other. However, instead, it clocked on SZA’s radar and prompted her to share her speculative, yet sympathetic response.

“Lmao I have no idea if this is real or not but I hope she come back cause this not the jozzy I know,” SZA exclaimed. “Love wins gang.”

In a follow-up comment, SZA suggested Jozzy set up boundaries for her communications regarding work to avoid a similar occurrence from transpiring in the future.

“Also no artist texts after 10/11pm 🤷🏾‍♀️ anything they got can wait til the am I figure,” she wrote. “That way it won’t cut into your private cuddle time !! 🥹 u got this jozzyyyy.”

While its too early too determine whether or not this is a true story or if it’s simply just the beginning of a rollout campaign for a new single, its clear that Jozzy has SZA and her followers on the edges of their seats waiting to find out!

Drake’s Discovery Phase In Lawsuit Against Universal Music Group Won’t Be Delayed After All

Drake has secured a major legal win in his ongoing battle with you Universal Music Group (UMG).

On Wednesday (April 2), Judge Jeanette Vargas ruled in favor of Drake’s legal team, beginning the discovery process in his lawsuit against UMG over his claims regarding Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” during a pre-trial conference in a New York courtroom.

Now, the Toronto native’s legal counsel can begin requesting document production and conducting depositions with key executives at UMG as a result of the record labels motion to delay discovery being denied.

Immediately following the ruling, AllHipHop obtained a brief statement from Drake’s lead attorney, Michael Gottlieb.

“Now it’s time to see what UMG was so desperately trying to hide,” Gottlieb wrote in the statement.

The lates ruling follows weeks of bitter back-and-forth dialogue between both Drake’s legal team and UMG, via a string of legal filings. On March 17, Gottlieb called UMG “greedy” and “desperate” in response to the 32-page legal document UMG filed in which it categorized Drake’s lawsuit as an “unfounded complaint.”

“UMG wants to pretend that this is about a rap battle in order to distract its shareholders, artists and the public from a simple truth: a greedy company is finally being held responsible for profiting from dangerous misinformation that has already resulted in multiple acts of violence,” Gottlieb’s statement reads in part.

Additionally, on March 20, Drake’s legal team filed a court document which argued that UMG’s attempt to dismiss the defamation lawsuit relies on a flawed legal precedent, specifically, Michael Rapaport’s failed defamation case against Barstool Sports. While Rapaport’s case was dismissed because the court ruled that no reasonable person would interpret Barstool’s over-the-top attacks as literal truth, Drake’s attorneys argue that millions of people worldwide did, in fact, take Kendrick’s lyrics seriously.

Diddy’s Ex-Bodyguard Slams Stevie J Over Notorious B.I.G. Murder Claims; Blames Drug Abuse

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ former bodyguard, Gene Deal didn’t hold back when calling out Stevie J’s recent “gangster” image and accused the music producer of drug use while disputing his account of the night The Notorious B.I.G. was murdered in Los Angeles.

Deal said he once protected Stevie J during their time in New York and considered him “like a little nephew.” 

However, after Stevie J’s recent remarks downplaying their relationship, claiming Deal exaggerates his role and fabricating stories about their past interactions, Deal fired back.

“I don’t know when he became a gangster,” Deal said during an interview with Art of Dialogue. “Stevie J better sit his little ass down.”

Deal noted Stevie J was in the car directly behind Biggie’s SUV when the rapper was gunned down in 1997. 

Gene Deal challenged Stevie J’s version of events, saying the night was anything but ordinary due to the ongoing East Coast-West Coast tension.

“He need to stop that, bro,” Deal said. “He talking to people who was in the streets that was gangsters. And I’m just giving him like a formal, you know, chastising to somebody that once used to care about him. You know it’s the drugs, bro.”

Deal alleged that both Stevie J and Ma$e were warned by Crips about a potential threat to Diddy and Biggie before the shooting but failed to pass that information along. That, he said, made Stevie J’s “regular night” comment even more frustrating.

Adding to the tension, Stevie J previously dismissed Deal’s claims, saying he doesn’t know him and suggesting Deal is exaggerating their past for attention. 

Lil Baby Might Be Staring At His Own RICO Case— Read Our Rumor Rundown

Lil Baby has a problem. As soon as Young Thug was off the hook, so to speak, I knew something was gonna happen next. And that next was the potential arrest of Lil Baby on RICO charges. Man, how did we get here? The year started off so well….

READ ALSO: Lil Baby’s “WHAM” Starts 2025 Off With Big Features & Bold Statements

Now these RICO rumors are not new, at least in the streets. But they are certainly getting loud right now. Every TikTok goof ball is making a video and pontificating on their so-called platforms. It’s almost like people want him to be arrested. But there’s a lot of smoke right now around his situation.

He dropped a new album, and I think maybe that was supposed to provide cover? I don’t know, but it’s not working. Most recently, and very much so allegedly, there was audio released where Lil Baby apparently put money on somebody’s head.

A report in The Atlanta Objective that was published just a few days ago said that Lil Baby is almost guaranteed to be charged with RICO, targeting two gangs there in Atlanta. There’s also allegedly a video of Lil Baby putting in his own work with a Drakeo—and I don’t mean the rapper.

According to a deep dive by veteran reporter George Chidi, things are heating up, and it might soon be raining indictments on Lil Baby and his affiliates from OMF (Only My Family) and the notorious 4PF (Four Pockets Full). Goodness.

Shawn Hoover, the top guy at Georgia Public Defender’s gang-focused legal squad, didn’t mince words about the situation. Hoover openly acknowledged they’re “actively preparing” for serious racketeering charges. Lil Baby could be famous for all the wrong reasons.

The gruesome murder of Keiontay Davis last Friday (March 28) brought all of this to a head. Davis was neck-deep in the legal drama surrounding the 2022 murder of Jaquavious Wilson, 26, another tragic death in the deadly feud between OMF and 4PF. This is deeper than rap, people.

People tell me Wilson was set to testify before pleading guilty to lesser charges, avoiding harsher penalties. But flipping has consequences! Authorities say Wilson had targets on his back from both street tribes. OMF wanted revenge and 4PF wanted to shut him up. Nathan “4PF Nate” Benford recently landed a 20-year sentence after a guilty plea.

Lil Baby has done his darnest to distance himself from the mess. He even shut down 4PF as a label back in 2023, but calling it Glass Window Entertainment won’t do it when the Feds are involved. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation hasn’t forgotten what they believe are real gang affiliations. They say there’s a link between 4PF and the Crips.

Lil Baby hasn’t said much, but he did say something. When pressed by a fan on Instagram about the potential RICO charges, he reportedly said, “ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE ME.”

Oddly, he had a song called “Dum, Dumb and Dumber.” You can’t make this up.

This is about to get thick. Developing…

Donald Trump Breaks Silence On Ex-Daughter-In-Law Vanessa Trump Dating Tiger Woods 

Donald Trump gave his stamp of approval to his former daughter-in-law, Vanessa Trump’s relationship with golf icon Tiger Woods.

He addressed the new romance during a White House video released on YouTube, calling both of them “great” and championing their future together.

“I love Tiger and I love Vanessa,” Trump said in the clip, revealing that Woods had reached out to him “a few months ago.” 

Trump went on to describe his rapport with the 15-time major champion, saying he has a “very special, very good relationship with Tiger.”

He added, “I played golf with him a couple of times over the last month, and he’s a fantastic guy and a fantastic athlete.”

Trump revealed Woods personally told him about the relationship. 

“I said, ‘Tiger, that’s good, that’s good,'” he recounted. “I’m very happy for both. Just let them both be happy.”

Woods confirmed the relationship publicly on Instagram last month.

 “Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side!” he wrote. “We look forward to our journey through life together.”

Vanessa Trump was previously married to Donald Trump Jr. for 13 years before finalizing their divorce in 2018. The former couple shares five children. 

The pair reportedly began dating in November 2024, with speculation circulating earlier this year before Woods made it official on social media.

Tiger Woods and Donald Trump have a long-standing friendship, often seen golfing together over the years. Trump awarded Woods the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2019.
