Rick Ross dissed his ex Tia Kemp on Future and Metro Boomin’s new albumWe Don’t Trust You, which dropped on Friday (March 22). Kemp reacted to Rozay’s “baby mama still the biggest opp” line from the song “Everyday Hustle” after fans alerted her on social media.
“Future don’t f###### know me,” she said, initially questioning why she got dissed.
Kemp had no interest in listening to the track, but she had plenty to say about Future and Ross. She trashed both men and issued a stern warning to Rozay.
“They probably ain’t worth listening to,” Kemp said. “Them two old dusties on there lying with 13—put both of they children together. They got two football teams! Him and Future need to sit they old a#### down somewhere. Whose nuts probably scrubbing to they f###### knees because they done dropped them in every f###### state ‘round this b#### with a seed here and there.”
She continued, “You don’t want to f### with Tia. They don’t want to f### with me, him or his peer. They better make they songs about the w##### out here they screwed around with and having them hidden babies with ‘cause I don’t give a f### about him, Future or the m############ past. I’ll slap the s### out of [Ross]. I wish that b#### would try me again.”
Kemp wasn’t the only person targeted in a diss on Future and Metro’s We Don’t Trust You album. Kendrick Lamar shook up the scene by firing shots at Drake and J. Cole on the song “Like That.” K. Dot notably referenced “the big three” line from Drake and J. Cole’s collaboration “First Person Shooter.”
“M######### the big three, n####, it’s just big me,” Lamar rapped.
Listen to the disses on “Everyday Hustle” and “Like That” below.
Azealia Banks claimed Beyoncé and Roc Nation engaged in payola to help “Texas Hold ‘Em” reach No. 1 on Billboard’s country music chart. Banks bashed Beyoncé and Billboard after the publication ran a story about Banks’ history of feuds.
“It’s becoming INCREASINGLY obvious you let your staff take payments to spew any b####### in these weak attempts to control narratives,” Banks wrote on Instagram in response to Billboard’s article. “But, the fact that my message regarding beyonce and roc nations treatment/sabotaging of black female artists/writers behind the scenes and her audacious expectation that black women somehow join her in a moment of pride for being ‘the first black woman to top the country charts’ ( Ugh I almost vomited ) was enough for their team to pay for this weak attempt at damage control is very tickling.”
She continued, “I think it’s pathetic that in the year 2024, a global superstar and her husband’s overwhelmingly desperate attempts to snag an ‘album of the year,’ – obviously to pump some steam into the curious attempt to ‘disrupt’ the power structure of the music industry with their own DSP – Tidal , needs to hinge on these offensively infantilizing epithets like ‘first black woman (to spend payola at country radio LOL)’ as if she deserves something special simply for being black. This post-BLM propaganda isn’t masking how both songs pale in comparison to literally every single artist making contemporary white americana country music.”
Banks reiterated her disappointment with Beyoncé’s country music, saying “Texas Hold ‘Em” and “16 Carriages” were not good songs. Banks believed her opinion was validated by alleged attempts to discredit her.
“I want to celebrate her for evolving in her craft, womanhood and skill,” Banks wrote. “If the songs were good you’d be writing about them and not Azealia’s opinion on them. but the songs are not good, she doesn’t seem cognizant, as if she’s in a chemical straitjacket, the pr statements are unnecessarily political/redundant…..”
Earlier this week, Banks brutally scrutinized Beyoncé, Jay-Z and the Cowboy Carter album. Banks also embraced her trolling by posting a photo of herself in a cowboy outfit.
Big Sean dropped the first official music offering of his next era. “Precision” serves as the Detroit rapper’s first single in two years.
“I studied the target. I’m never gonna miss it. I call that precision,” Sean raps on his latest song. Teddy Walton, Tom Kahre, FNZ, Zacari and Aaron Bow earned production credit for the track.
Big Sean appears to be gearing up to release another full-length project soon. The 35-year-old Def Jam recording artist has not put out a studio album since Detroit 2 in 2020.
Sean currently has five studio albums in his discography. 2020’s Detroit 2 debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart with 103,000 first-week units. He also reached the top of the Billboard 200 with 2015’s Dark Sky Paradise and 2017’s I Decided.
Jermaine Dupri, like many that hail from the Renaissance known as the 1990s, reflects on the significance of Freaknik, the iconic spring break event born from historically Black colleges and universities in Atlanta. In a chat with Chuck Jigsaw Creekmur, he acknowledges Freaknik’s pivotal role in shaping the city’s massive Hip-Hop and cultural landscape and the eventual emergence of Atlanta as the epicenter of the genre.
Executive Producers Luke Campbell, Jermaine Dupri, 21 Savage and director P. Frank Williams bring forth a captivating narrative called “Freaknik: The Wildest Party Never Told.” The documentary delves into the Freaknik era, that started in the 1980s well into the 90s. Originating as a Black college cookout, Freaknik swiftly gained notoriety for its tales of spontaneous encounters, but eventually became a monster. At its zenith, Freaknik commanded attention, halting traffic and captivating the city, evolving into a cult phenomenon that young Black people had to attend.
The documentary features 21 Savage, Lil Jon, Killer Mike, Jalen Rose, Too $hort, Shanti Das, former Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed, Erick Sermon, CeeLo Green, Rico Wade, Kenny Burns, and more. JD discusses Freaknik’s indelible imprint on Atlanta’s cultural landscape and the world.
Story continues after video.
AllHipHop: What’s good, my brother?
Jermaine Dupri: What’s happening? How you?
AllHipHop: I’m good, bro. You’re in this new documentary, “Freaknik: The Wildest Story Never Told.” You were in the A at that time. You weren’t there all the way at the beginning of it all, but what’s your perspective on Freaknik as a legacy?
Jermaine Dupri: Well, I mean, I was in Atlanta. I just wasn’t of age 16. If you 16, that’s when you become a virgin to Freaknik. And like ’91, ’90, ’91 is when I kind of got hip to Freaknik. And Freaknik for Atlanta, and the culture of Hip-Hop becoming so dominant in this city and the city paying attention to Hip-Hop and the Falcons and everything. Freaknik created all of those avenues. What people were doing with Freaknik made all of the Fortune 500 companies pay attention to it. Like, “Damn, Freaknik is…okay.” You know what I mean? And if you took advantage of Freaknik the way I did with So So Def, you also realized that it was companies in this city, music companies that was putting out music. So I give Freaknik damn near 60% of the credit for catapulting the Atlanta South music scene.
AllHipHop: Wow, that’s incredible. Yeah. P. Frank Williams, the director, referred to it as a musical documentary. I never took it that way.
Jermaine Dupri: Yeah, nah, that’s what it is. It’s definitely a musical documentary that it’s also a Hip-Hop documentary. That’s another thing that people, I noticed that people don’t understand that it’s a Hip-Hop documentary that we haven’t had. Right. It’s a southern hip hop documentary, but we haven’t had a Hip-Hop documentary in the last 10 years, as far as I’m concerned, that brings the age group between parents and their kids as close as the age groups are now. And Freaknik actually deals with these younger parents and having these kids. And this was that generation where parents start having kids closer to their actual younger age…my mother had me when I was 16, so when she was 16. So that era of kids being born when their parents are 16 and this, that, and third, we never really had a documentary or anything, a Hip-Hop story or anything in the culture that actually that deals with that. This is the first.
AllHipHop: Definitely. Who do you think goes harder? Gen X, the freaknik generation so to speak, or the current day?
Jermaine Dupri: Freaknik generation. I mean, the inspiration and motivation behind five individuals at a school that didn’t have money to go to spring break or go home for spring break and see their family and they decide to create a picnic. And they didn’t just want to make it a regular picnic, they decided to make it a different type of picnic and put a different name at the front of it. And make it something special for the rest of the kids on the campus that didn’t have money to go home. That in itself is a story that when I’m trying to get things done and I’m trying to do it for all the money in the world, these type of stories hit me dead in the face.
Like, Jermaine, you got to figure out another way to get this done. You know what I mean? We live in a world where everybody always want to call and get as much money as possible, but if you really want something to happen and you don’t have no other choice, you’ll figure it out. And you don’t see a lot of that in this generation, but that generation did that, and to me, that’s motivation for me.
AllHipHop: Yeah, no doubt. You talked about Hip-Hop . Do you see parallels because parallels to Hip-Hop, because the way it started and the way it ended was completely different.
Jermaine Dupri: When you say parallels as far as what
AllHipHop: The trajectory, I mean, obviously if you start something off with a few people, they’re in on it, and then it just slowly gets bigger and bigger and bigger. And then before you know it, it’s [massive]. Somebody I think described Freaknik as a monster.
Jermaine Dupri: Point. Yeah. Yeah, I did. So what happens is that at least with Freaknik, nobody was having a conversation. I think that was the thing. The city should have at least talked to the DC Metro Club to figure out what it was that they actually was doing. And then the city should have blocked off that corner of Piedmont Park where they started having a party, because now in Atlanta, this is where Music Midtown is held at in that same spot that she talks about having that picnic, that’s where Music Midtown is held, and it’s a situation where all these people come, it’s a festival, and it’s done right there. They could have done the exact same thing. They could have been the first group of people to have a festival, but they weren’t having conversation with the city, and the city didn’t go and make a move to have a conversation with them. And things just kept going and kept growing. And if you don’t have some kind of communication, things going to get out of control.
AllHipHop: Was it all business for you though? Did you have fun and did you indulge at a point at Freaknik?
Jermaine Dupri: Oh yeah, hundred percent percent. I mean, it was business for me from, I mean, not from a monetary standpoint. It was a business. It was a business move for me, fun standpoint. It was like when you getting your name out there and you’re trying to build your brand, you are more so concerned about putting your brand in front of as many people as possible as opposed to you making money. And that might be the wrong way to go about it. Somebody else might have a different way, but that’s the way I went about it. I just was like, and me being from the South and already getting flack for the crisscross record and people trying to treat us, we weren’t supposed to be in Hip-Hop in the first place. My determination was just like, I’m here. Y’all got to see me, and I ain’t got to come to y’all city. It’s 150,000 people in my city. They going to see me when they come here at least. That was fun.
AllHipHop: Yeah, we talk about the DC Metro Club and Erick Sermon is in there, and the impression is obviously this is a love letter to Atlanta, but also there were other forces that were convening in Atlanta at that point in time. Even myself, I considered moving to Atlanta in the nineties. I was like, yo, I felt like it was either New York or Atlanta ultimately. Yeah, I moved to New York, but it could have gone either way.
Jermaine Dupri: Yeah, I mean, well, like I said, this was the rise of Atlanta’s musical explosion. It was the rise while what I was doing. I don’t think the rest of the country was paying no attention to it. Erick Sermon is on Peach Street. Jermaine Dupre is in College Park. Dallas Austin’s in College Park, Rico Wade and the Dungeon family, they in the S.W.A.T.S., they creating something too short, move to Atlanta, move to the swats, and I don’t think people, and by the way, all this stuff is happening and Freaknik is happening. You got the energy of Freaknik and then you got this synergy that we putting out and we trying to put out records and we trying to make, so all the records and everybody just start connecting it to Freaknik and then the start playing the music. That was another thing. Then we got a radio station in this city once we got another radio station, hot 1 0 7 9, which was 90, what was it? At first it was something else. At first it was hot, something at first. And once they came and they started playing hip hop and they was playing, and the way that they got in was they was playing more music from here, more people from Atlanta. I remember when that station first jumped off, I used to have people saying, Jermaine, do you own this radio station? They used to play so many of my records because they wanted to brand it as the Atlanta radio station.
AllHipHop: Luke definitely brought a different energy. Obviously he’s from Miami, not to shade Luke or anything like that, but is that ultimately when things started to really shift into some of the other things that were not as communal, if you will?
Jermaine Dupri: Nah, because Luke was here before. He was at the parties before I was. Luke was at the parties that I couldn’t get into. So Luke actually helped Freaknik get bigger, you know what I mean? So he actually increased the crowd flow. So I mean, it could be a bad thing, but I look at what Luke did, he increased it and made it really like, and he put the freak in the word freak. The word freak didn’t have nothing to do with shake off and shaking your booty and Luke Skywalker, none of that. It didn’t have nothing to do with that. They was using the word freak from the Chic record.
AllHipHop: And I notably recall when all the exits were blocked off and you’re just in the highway. And that didn’t even stop nothing really.
Jermaine Dupri: Yeah, because what that did was it pushed you to the outskirts of Atlanta and where I’m from, College Park…all the way to Old National. So people was getting off on Old National and they was going to Frozen Paradise that was down the street on Old National, and then Old National became Freaknik. Oh, I ain’t got to go downtown. It’s right here in my hood. You what I’m saying? Like I said, Freaknik was amazing because you couldn’t really kill it. You couldn’t kill it once it was in the city.
AllHipHop: Oh, by the way, my niece worked on “Freaknik” as a researcher at Hulu. She works at Hulu. She sent a text to our group today and I was like, “I’m literally about to talk to JD right now.”
Jermaine Dupri: That’s dope.
“Freaknik: The Wildest Story Never Told” is out now and can be streamed on Hulu.
There’s some major drama going on right now, and I’m not sure what to think of it. First of all, I thought it was so funny that former Living Legends MC Murs admitted to being so washed, he thought Kendrick Lamar had beef with Ice Cube after hearing Future and Metro Boomin’s “Like That.” But when Kendrick mentioned the “big three,” a lot of people thought there were shots fired at the OG legend. So, don’t feel TOO bad, bro.
No, Kendrick is going straight at Drake and J. Cole. I have to admit, I don’t know if I am ready for this. I am more interested in seeing them work together and build something mighty in this Hip-Hop world.
Here’s where we are: On “Like That,” Kendrick Lamar takes aim at Drake and J. Cole:
“Sneak dissin’, first person shooter, I hope they came with three switches”
“For all your dawgs gettin’ buried / That’s a K with all the 9s, they gon’ see pet cemetery.”
At any rate, Kendrick licked off several shots toward his counterparts, making it clear that he’s the top dog. Metaphorically, speaking, “First Person Shooter“ ends with Drake proclaiming himself to be the goat. And also, there are a whole lotta dogs barking in the background to represent his vicious nature. It sounds perfect on the song, but what does that mean as far as upholding that title? I’ll have to use a term back in the day: “We gonna see about ya.“ And nobody “sees” people the way Kendrick Lamar does.
So when he starts flipping different cadences and vocal tones, apparently angry, you know it’s going to be some SH#T. The only thing is, I would love to see him do this on a full project. His last project was extremely artsy and theatrical, causing speculation that he had forgotten about his core base. But K. Dot is back.
Now the question remains: what will J. Cole and Drake do? All are pushing 40 (not that that matters). But it does seem that they are all economically and creatively in a less competitive space. But all that is out of the window. I could see Drake replying. J. Cole seems to be a peacemaker, but his dominance lyrically might have to show up in the battle world now. This is NOT a Lil Yachty feature.
I need you guys to go down into the comments and give on this one. I’m really not sure what to think because I really want these gentlemen to collaborate. By the way, Drake and J. Cole are on tour together so they are on the same page as me. But, I am thinking I better get on code with K. Dot. HA! As evident with “Control,” he’s not here for it.
GloRilla proved her run as a national Hip-Hop figure did not end after earning RIAA plaques for her “F.N.F. (Let’s Go)” and “Tomorrow 2” singles. She scored another hit in 2024 thanks to “Yeah Glo!”
As “Yeah Glo!” rises up the Billboard Hot 100 ranks, GloRilla looks to give her fans a new body of work. The Collective Music Group recording artist announced EhhThang EhhThang will drop in April.
“F## IT [speaking head emoji]. I’M DROPPING A MIXTAPE!! Yeah Glo[speaking head emoji]. EhhThang EhhThang 4/5,” Glo tweeted on Thursday (March 21). That X post included a song snippet.
Previously, GloRilla’s “F.N.F. (Let’s Go)” with Hitkidd (No. 42) and “Tomorrow 2” with Cardi B (No. 9) made it onto the Hot 100. The RIAA certified “F.N.F. (Let’s Go)” as platinum. “Tomorrow 2” reached 2x-platinum certification.
Playboi Carti contributed to one of the biggest songs of 2024 as a feature on Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s “Carnival.” Some social media users seem to think Lil Yachty wants to replicate Carti’s success by stealing his style.
It appears Yachty will release new music in the near future. Twitch personality Kai Cenat shared a snippet of a new track by the Atlanta-bred rapper during a recent livestream.
One online critic reacted to the Lil Yachty preview clip by posting, “Carti can’t try 1 new sound without rappers immediately biting him, he’s generational.”
Yachty fired back by tweeting, “Biting him? How did I bite him? The beat? if that’s the case I been workin with Cardo since 2019-2020 on record y’all fans be smoking the strongest d##k.”
biting him? how did i bite him? the beat? if that’s the case i been workin with cardo since 2019-2020 on record yall fans be smoking the strongest dick https://t.co/rlcaSRsoP7
Cardo Got Wings produced the title track on Lil Yachty’s recently released Something Ether EP. Lil Boat and Cardo also worked together on 2023’s “Van Gogh” by fellow Atlanta native J.I.D.
Something Ether dropped on February 23. The 6-track, 16-minute effort joined a Lil Yachty discography that includes five studio LPs. 2023’s Let’s Start Here became Lil Boat’s third Top 10 album.
Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s “Carnival” featuring Playboi Carti and Rich The Kid spent two weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The collaboration became Carti’s first Number One on that chart.
Has Sexyy Red stamped her name among the all-time greatest women in Hip Hop history? Rapper/YouTuber DDG made that bold declaration about the “Pound Town” performer.
“[Sexyy Red] top 5 female rapper of all time,” DDG tweeted on Wednesday (March 20). The Pontiac, Michigan native’s post amassed more than 2.3 million views on the X social media platform.
Red shared her reaction to DDG putting her in contention for the title of GOAT female rapper. The St. Louis representative wrote, “Dey not gon like you fa dis one [face with tears of joy emojis].”
While Sexyy Red did not break out on a mainstream level until 2023, the self-described Hood Hottest Princess has been releasing music for over five years. For example, her Ghetto Superstar mixtape arrived in 2021.
“Pound Town” became her first national hit when the Tay Keith-produced single peaked at No. 66 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Hip-Hop superstar Nicki Minaj hopped on the official remix/sequel.
GloRilla shared her hilarious reaction to her recent meeting with President Biden and Vice President at the White House’s Women’s History Month reception earlier this month.
The “Yeah Glo” hitmaker was asked about the meeting during a recent appearance on CNN.
“It was so cool, I was geeked,” she recalled. “Everybody don’t get to meet the president and the vice president.”
Elsewhere during the conversation, GloRilla deftly dodged questions about politics with a hilarious deflection.
“Did they talk to you about what they wanted politically? Did they want your endorsement?” host Laura Coates asked.
“That aint got nothing to do with me,” she replied before singing “I’m just living my life like it’s golden.”
GloRilla continued, “I’m not gonna talk politics, I love the president, I love everybody. But at the end of the day, the day gotta end.”
Coates then read a text GloRilla received from her mother following her meeting with President Biden.
“I’ve come from being the woman with a bunch of kids, living in a blue house with no real furniture in Frayser to the classiest, most beautiful, and most talented rapper of this generation’s mom who’s moved on up to a beautifully furnished house. Get ’em, Glo!” her mother wrote in a text the rapper shared on Instagram.
Glo said the message “meant everything to me,” before reflecting on her humble beginnings.
“Because we really did come from absolutely nothing,” she added. “It was just a proud moment for my momma.”
Chrisean Rock has responded to rumors she’s set to appear on Ray J’s new reality TV platform, Tronix Network.
However, according to Chrisean, she’s not had any offers from Ray J but insists any future reality show appearances will be nothing like her past endeavors. Rock claims she’s in her “elevating era” and wants some acting roles and is even working on owning a network of her own.
“I got no clue what rayj talking bout on the breakfast club but wuddup wit it,” she wrote on her Instagram Stories Thursday (March 21). “Just letting yall know im in my elevating era so popping off like I use to ain’t me no more.”
Chrisean Rock said she laid a blueprint for future reality TV stars and wants a change. “I’m making room for big dog stuff instead,” She said. Rock also claimed fans are more likely to see her in 50 Cent’s BMF than another “’Bad Girls’ type show.”
She continued, “Also im spreading my interest into owning a network,” before adding, “every thing will be coming soon.”
Ray J discussed his new venture during a recent appearance on The Breakfast Club although he didn’t mention Chrisean Rock specifically. He described Tronix Network as “that digital ratchet reality TV that’s at the cutting edge.”
Chrisean Rock and Blueface appear in the trailer for the network. However, the clip is from an old Blue Girls Club episode. The show will air on Tronix as The House of Blueface.
Rock doubled down on her response to Ray J in an Instagram Live “PSA” to her fans. She explained that she’s been taking some time out and spending time with her son, but big things are on the horizon. Check it out below.
Future and Metro Boomin have finally delivered the first of their highly anticipated joint offerings, We Don’t Trust You.
The 17-track project arrived at midnight Friday (March 22). It clocks in at just under an hour and features a cast of rap heavyweights, including Playboi Carti, Young Thug, The Weeknd, Travis Scott, Rick Ross and more. Stream We Don’t Trust You at the end of the page.
Kendrick Lamar garnered much of the attention upon release with his verse on “Like That.” He was trending No. 1 on X (formerly) Twitter as fans dissected his apparent Drake and J. Cole diss.
Playboi Carti and Rick Ross were also trending for their appearances on “Type S###,” and “Everyday Hustle,” respectively.
Metro Boomin sampled Mobb Deep’s iconic “Quiet Storm” beat for Future to go crazy on “Seen It All.” The duo also paid homage to Mobb Deep in the We Don’t Trust You trailer earlier this month.
“There’s a lot of f#####’ garbage ass rappers out here, running around,” the late Prodigy says in the clip. “These n##### ain’t supposed to be rapping, son. This game is meant for a select, simple few. A select few, man. And that’s what it is today, man, I don’t give a f###, ain’t nothin’ changed.”
We Don’t Trust You follows Metro Boomin’s Heroes & Villains and Future’s I Never Liked You. Both albums, released in 2022 topped the Billboard 200.
Future and Metro Boomin are set to drop their second project on April 12.
Kendrick Lamar, Drake and J. Cole are often touted as the “big three” rappers of their generation, but Kdot is challenging that in his new verse.
Lamar appears as an uncredited feature on Future and Metro Boomin’s long-awaited album, We Don’t Trust You which arrived on Friday (March 22).
His verse on “Like That” quickly went viral and had Kendrick Lamar trending at No. 1 on X (formerly Twitter) as he seemingly takes shots at Drake and J. Cole.
Lamar references the duo’s recent collab, “First Person Shooter,”where Cole questioned who the “hardest” MC is,asking, “Is it K-Dot? Is it Aubrey? Or me?”
According to Kendrick, “there is no big three.”
“Sneak dissin’, first person shooter, I hope they came with three switches,” Lamar raps. “I crash out, like, ‘F### rap,’ this Melly Mell if I had to/Got two Ts with me, I’m snatchin’ chains and burnin’ tattoos, it’s up/Lost too many soldiers not to play it safe/If he walk around with that stick, it ain’t Andre 3K/Think I won’t drop the location? I still got PTSD/Muthafuck the big three, n####, it’s just big me/Niggaa, bum, what? I’m really like that.”
Many fans considered the verse an attack on Drake and Cole. Listen to the track below and check out some of the reactions at the end of the page.
Lamar’s verse came just a day after Big Sean referenced rap’s elite trifecta in a new freestyle.
“I think where I lack most as an artist is consistency/I just haven’t had the energy to compete with enemies/Or y’all so-called bigger three/But every verse I lay, fans love to say, ‘Man, n##### is sleep!'” the Detroit native declared.

An associate of Nardo Wick, who was accused of brutally attacking a teenage fan last year, may have just landed himself in even more trouble.
On Wednesday (March 20), court documents obtained by TMZ revealed Zachary L. Benton, 34, missed a scheduled court date in connection to his assault of 15-year-old George Obregon last December. As a result of the missed date, Benton forfeit his $2,000 cash bond. Prior to the missed date, Benton actually turned himself in to authorities.
A 15-year-old individual was also arrested, and both were booked on felony battery charges. The teenager faces an additional charge for being a minor in possession of a firearm while wearing a mask.
Obregon and his friend Connor Villa attended a concert Wick performed in Tampa at Club Skye. Both Obregon and Villa attempted to approach Wick’s entourage the request a photo with the “Who Want Smoke” rapper after the concert ended. That’s when Obregon was approached by Benton, who punched the teen so hard he was knocked out cold and hit his head on the pavement when he fell to the ground. Authorities allege the teenager charged alongside Obregon also struck the victim multiple times after he was knocked out, before Wick stepped in.
According to reports, Obregon was rushed to the hospital where he was allegedly treated for a severe concussion, and spots where he was believed to be hemorrhaging. Medical professionals are apparently unclear whether or not Obregon will suffer from long term effects from the attack.
Did Diddy do it may truly become the question of the day based on the recent emergence of a bizarre video allegedly featuring the Bad Boy music mogul.
As early as March 18, a clip surfaced of what appears to be a video interview between Diddy and an unknown entity seemingly only identifiable by a watermarked logo that reads JBK 73 Questions. Though the clip is brief, it tackles some tough topics in a short amount of time as Diddy and the interviewer share a bit of a friendly back and forth.
For example, when the interviewer asks him if he’s attracted to men or women, Diddy replied, “It depends on my mood and my vibe.” And in an even more coy response, Diddy told the interviewer “I can’t tell you that now,” when questioned about his alleged sexual encounter with Meek Mill.
The clip then abruptly ends and there’s almost no trace of the actual existence of the full interview. Not to mention that the clip also only lives on Twitter (X) at the moment, and users are already speculating that even if it isn’t AI-generated, Diddy is trolling everyone. It’s worth noting that Diddy actually did do a 73 Questions interview with Vogue nearly six years ago, which could be where the idea for the clip was pulled from.
DaBaby could quite possibly be one of the most resourceful artists in the game right now when it comes to branding and marketing. His recent encounter at a smoke shop is proof.
During one of DaBaby’s latest misadventures shared to his Instagram Story, the “Rockstar” rapper discovered his likeness has become a hot commodity in Decatur, Georgia. Upon stumbling into a random smoke shop, DaBaby discovered his face, and even cover artwork from albums such as his Baby On Baby LP plastered all over an assortment of products. From grinders to full-blown smoking kits, you name it, Baby’s face was on it.
“Hold on man, we gotta discuss this,” DaBaby said in part before adding, “Boy I need my percentage, you gotta give me one for free or something.”
One of the products, which features a sizeable wooden box packed with a grinder, rolling tray and more, was emblazoned with DaBaby’s face and valued at nearly $50.
The situation, which could’ve turned ugly quickly, actually appeared to veer more toward becoming a lucrative business opportunity for DaBaby, who eventually worked out a deal with the shop owner so they could continue selling the products.
“I need $4.99 every time y’all sell one, put $4.99 to the side for me,” he said before telling the camera “Come shop with my boys in Decatur, Georgia man, get one of these for your baby momma.”
Check out the hilarious post below.

YesJulz blamed Kanye West’s “chief of staff” Milo Yiannopoulos for threatening her with a lawsuit. The influencer said Ye privately denied suing her for roughly $8 million.
“He has not told me he is suing me,” she wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter). “I have not seen HIS signature on the paper. The letter of intent to arbitrate was very clearly written by Milo. Signed by Ye’s lawyer, who is also at the will of Milo.”
She continued, “If the suit moves forward and Ye allows it to, sure i may feel different. & i’ll do what needs to be done to defend myself. I have no fear because i’ve done no wrong. Until then, i have compassion and grace for Ye as i know first hand how the people around him move & i feel its only a matter of time before the truth is revealed & he realizes whats truly going on. I pray for his continued success & protection.”
YesJulz responded to a fan who asked why Ye would say he’s not suing her after posting an intent to arbitrate wit her on his Instagram account. YesJulz believed someone else posted the legal document on Kanye’s Instagram Stories, noting how quickly the post was deleted.
“What other posts do you see going up and down that fast?” she wrote. “He is not the only one with access to that account.”
Kanye’s team fired YesJulz for allegedly violating her non-disclosure agreement. She dared Yiannopoulos and Yeezy lawyers to sue her.
“One thing I won’t do is sit here and let a group of d*ck riding, misogynist yes men go out of their way to slander my name in an attempt to ruin everything I have worked my ass off to build from scratch over the past decade,” she wrote on March 18.
YesJulz was fired amid the rollout of Kanye and Ty Dolla $ign’s Vultures 2 album. The project was supposed to drop on March 8, but it was delayed with no announcement of a new release date.
Carlee Russell avoided jail for faking a kidnapping in 2023. According to multiplereports, a judge sentenced her to 12 months of probation for the hoax on Thursday (March 21).
Russell pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges of filing a false police report and falsely reporting an incident to law enforcement. Judge David Carpenter said it would be “a waste of government resources” to put Russell in jail.
The judge ordered Russell to pay $17,974.88 in restitution to the City of Hoover. Russell must complete 100 hours of community service.
Last year, Russell called police to report a child on the interstate in Hoover before she went missing. She reemerged two days later and told authorities she was kidnapped. She claimed a man and woman abducted her when she supposedly stopped to check on a child walking on the highway. The case received national attention.
Police found no evidence of a child on the interstate and discovered suspicious searches on Russell’s phone. Russell admitted she lied about the kidnapping as police investigated her claims. The 26-year-old woman apologized for her actions at her sentencing.
“I want to genuinely apologize for my actions, and the resulting negative impact inflicted onto others. I made a grave mistake while trying to fight through various emotional issues and stress,” Russell said. “I’m extremely remorseful for the panic, fear and various range of negative emotions that were experienced across the nation.”
She added, “I want to specifically acknowledge and take accountability for the pain and embarrassment that I inflicted upon my family, my church family, friends, neighbors, community, and all of those who were directly involved in search efforts for me.”
Russell is scheduled to return to Jefferson County Circuit Court for a hearing on October 16. The judge will review her restitution payments and community service progress.
Beyoncé’s publicist Yvette Noel-Schure shut down accusations of the superstar biting Erykah Badu’s style on the Cowboy Carter album cover. Noel-Schure posted multiple examples of Beyoncé sporting braided hair in response to Badu, who suggested her look was copied for the cover.
“She slays,” Noel-Schure wrote on Instagram. “She slays. Now. Then. Always. act ii COWBOY CARTER 3.29 #criticswithoutcredentials.”
Badu reacted to Beyoncé’s cover with a simple “Hmmm” on Instagram Stories, but the Beyhive did not take the comment lightly. Beyoncé’s diehard fans went on the attack as Badu asked for Jay-Z’s help.
“To Jay Z,” Badu wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter). “Say somethin Jay. You gone let this woman and these bees do this to me??”
Beyoncé unveiled her Cowboy Carter album cover on Tuesday (March 19). She also revealed the inspiration for the project.
“This album has been over five years in the making,” she wrote. “It was born out of an experience that I had years ago where I did not feel welcomed…and it was very clear that I wasn’t. But, because of that experience, I did a deeper dive into the history of Country music and studied our rich musical archive. It feels good to see how music can unite so many people around the world, while also amplifying the voices of some of the people who have dedicated so much of their lives educating on our musical history.”
She continued, “The criticisms I faced when I first entered this genre forced me to propel past the limitations that were put on me. act ii is a result of challenging myself, and taking my time to bend and blend genres together to create this body of work.”
Cowboy Carter is scheduled to drop on March 29. Beyoncé promised “a few surprises” on her follow-up to 2022’s Renaissance album.
In a move which will likely ignite controversy, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has taken aim at the state’s homeless population, signing legislation that effectively bans camping or sleeping on public property.
With the stroke of his pen, DeSantis turned the tide in what he framed as a battle to restore order and safety to Florida’s streets.
Republican Rep. Sam Garrison, who sponsored the bill, told the USA TODAY Network $30 million had been allocated by the state for “continuums of care” to prepare for the law—an additional $10 million more than the year prior.
“This bill ensures that homeless individuals have the resources they need to get back on their feet,” DeSantis said at the bill signing ceremony.
But critics have wasted no time in slamming the legislation, decrying it as an attack on the most vulnerable members of society. Megan Sarmento, an outreach program manager, pulled no punches in her assessment, stating, “We’re going to need so much more funding if we’re going to build up these resources.”
The bill, set to take effect on October 1, mandates that municipalities designate specific public spaces for camping, but with a caveat–approval from the state Department of Children and Families is required. Those parameters are also in addition to a laundry list of stringent requirements, including security, behavioral health services and access to bathrooms with running water. DeSantis defended the law, framing it as a necessary step to prevent Florida cities from resembling the chaos of San Francisco’s streets.
Now, with an estimated 30,809 homeless individuals in the state, according to the Florida Department of Health, the stakes have never been higher. The legislation, while lacking penalties for those living on the streets, empowers local residents and businesses. However, the state attorney general will now also be able to sue municipalities that fail to adhere to the restrictions as a result of the bill.
