Freaknik Documentary Hits Hulu & Inspires Parade Of Memes

Hulu’s documentary Freaknik: The Wildest Party Never Told premiered on Thursday (March 21). The film’s streaming debut sparked a mix of jokes and serious reflection, making Freaknik a trending topic on X (formerly known as Twitter).

The Freaknik documentary featured the contributions of multiple Hip-Hop artists. Jermaine Dupri, 21 Savage and 2 Live Crew’s Luther “Uncle Luke” Campbell served as the film’s executive producers. Lil Jon, Killer Mike, CeeLo Green and Too $hort were among the notable names who appeared in the documentary.

Freaknik: The Wildest Party Next Told was directed by P. Frank Williams. The director explained his approach to the film in an interview with CNN.

“I’m a documentarian of Black culture, and I wanted to give the vegetables and the candy,” Williams said. “I think a lot of people are in love with the candy, which is the turn up at the street parties, the wilding out on the freeway, the going crazy in the middle of the street at Freaknik. I wanted to do a much more layered look.”

The documentary explored Freaknik’s evolution from a simple college cookout in the ‘80s to wild festivities that consumed Atlanta before getting shut down in the late ‘90s. The film aimed to show why Freaknik developed an almost mythical reputation over the years without ignoring the disturbing parts of its history.

“In telling the full story of Freaknik, to omit the sexual assault and to omit the things that did cause harm is not allowing the full story to be told,” producer Jay Allen said. “So we just wanted to make sure that as you watch this, that no other documentary about Freaknik ever has to be told.”

Charleston White declared he would send Boosie Badazz back to jail for threatening a promoter in the rapper’s hometown of Baton Rouge. According to White, Boosie allegedly attempted to block the internet provocateur’s booking in Baton Rouge by intimidating the show’s promoter.

“Boosie I’ma put your m############ ass in jail n####,” White said on social media. “Boy, you making threats to the promoter. I got a recorded phone conversation with witnesses on the phone saying the promoter is scared for his life that he got to live in Baton Rouge, that Boosie gon’ send them people to get you.”

He continued, “He said he can’t have the show ‘cause Boosie—I said, ‘N####, I’ll just hire the police.’ The promoter scary, scary ass n####. Yeah, n####, Boosie is a ho. And I bet he don’t wanna get in that boxing ring. See Boosie, you gon’ send somebody, but you ain’t gonna do nothing, b#### ass n####. I’ma put yo b#### ass in jail, n####.”

White wanted to get the FBI involved in the matter. The polarizing figure taunted Boosie as White believed his foe would end up behind bars.

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

White claimed the promotor asked him not to contact the authorities, but he rejected the request. He hoped to cause more trouble for Boosie after playing a role in the 2023 arrest of Boosie’s son Tootie Raww. White added to the messy situation by posting Boosie’s federal paperwork from an ongoing gun case on Thursday (March 21).

Grace Jabbari filed a federal lawsuit in New York against her ex-boyfriend, Jonathan Majors. The suit came after a jury found Majors guilty of assaulting and harassing Jabbari during a March 2023 incident in the state.

In addition, Grace Jabbari accused Jonathan Majors of defamation. Her legal team claims Majors attempted to paint Jabbari as a “crazy liar” and not a victim of his physical and emotional abuse.

TMZ caught up with Majors after the Creed III actor took part in a training session. When asked about his former girlfriend’s pending litigation, he responded, “I’m not surprised. I knew it was coming from the beginning.”

New York police officers arrested Jonathan Majors for assault and harassment. After pleading not guilty, the California-born entertainer’s criminal trial began in November 2023.

Majors was found guilty of assault in the third degree and harassment in the second degree, both misdemeanor charges. The 34-year-old Yale University graduate will be sentenced during an April 8 court hearing.

As a result of his conviction, Marvel Studios dropped Jonathan Majors from his high-profile role as Kang the Conqueror in the MCU movie franchise. He reportedly met Grace Jabbari while filming 2023’s Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.

The CBS sitcom Good Times ran for six seasons from 1974 to 1979. Netflix picked up an updated, aminated interpretation of the classic show.

Good Times told the story of the Evans household’s life in a Chicago public housing project. Esther Rolle, John Amos, Ja’Net DuBois, Ralph Carter, Bern Nadette Stanis and Jimmie Walker made up the main cast.

The new version of the family comedy will premiere on April 12. According to reports, JB Smoove, Yvette Nicole Brown, Jay Pharoah, Marsai Martin, Slink Johnson and Rashida “Sheedz” Olayiwola voiced the characters for Netflix’s Good Times.

Carl Jones (The Boondocks, Black Dynamite) created the Good Times animated series. Ranada Shepard (Diary of a Future President, Young Love) serves as a co-creator and showrunner.

In addition, the late Norman Lear received an executive producer credit. Lear developed the original 1970s program. Seth MacFarlane, Erica Huggins, Brent Millar, Erick Peyton, and Stephen Curry are also attached as producers.

“It’s a dream come true to be working with the legendary talents of Norman Lear, Seth MacFarlane and Stephen Curry,” Carl Jones stated in 2020. “We are excited to carry on the original legacy of Good Times – but now animated and a little edgier. Let’s just say the struggle has just gotten strugglier.”

Sexyy Red continues to put up numbers. Her “Get It Sexyy” single currently holds the No. 1 spot on Apple Music’s Top 100: USA Daily Chart.

The St. Louis rapper is part of a wave of female rappers who’ve found commercial success in recent years. Sexyy Red’s musical takeover has some rap fans questioning the output of her male peers.

In particular, one social media user posted a tongue-in-cheek video asking men like Lil Baby, Future and Kodak Black to save him with some new music. The man said, “I just can’t keep doing what I’m doing. I’m sneaking in the car listening to g###### Sexyy Red.”

That clip racked up more than 3 million views on Twitter (X). Sexyy Red saw the post and advised her male supporters who may be afraid to listen to her music in public. She tweeted, “Yeen gotta hide it when dis come on in a function don’t be tryna act too cool to have fun.”

“Get It Sexyy” landed on March 15. The Tay Keith-produced track followed the 2023 hits singles “Pound Town” and “SkeeYee.” Both of those records made it onto the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

In addition, Sexyy Red scored a Top 20 hit as a guest on Drake’s “Rich Baby Daddy” along with SZA. The “Rich Baby Daddy” music video has amassed more than 17 million YouTube views since its premiere on February 14.

Sexyy Red will make an appearance on an upcoming Kick livestream with Adin Ross. That on-camera interaction is scheduled for Friday (March 22). Ross announced the meet-up with Twitter (X) post.

The Bardi Gang has been waiting six years for their favorite rapper to release her sophomore studio LP. After many delays, Cardi B announced that her next full-length project will come out in 2024.

On Tuesday (March 20), Cardi B took part in a live Q&A session on Threads. At one point, the official @threads account asked the Bronx-raised rapper to describe her upcoming album in one word.

“Different. I think it’s different. I think there’s going to be some songs that are like not expected to come from me,” Cardi responded on the Meta-owned social media platform.

Cardi B’s Grammy Award-winning debut album, Invasion of Privacy, dropped in April 2018. Since that time, the mother of two released the tracks “WAP,” “Up,” “Hot S###” and “Bongos.”

Last week saw Cardi release her latest single. “Enough (Miami)” arrived with a Patience Harding-directed music video. Those visuals featured the rap star showing off several different outfits.

“So for the looks from ‘Miami,’ one of my favorite looks is the red look. The tape look because I’ve been wanting to do the tape look for a very long time,” Cardi stated on Threads.

She also added, “But my favorite glam look. Believe it or not. It’s the last scene where I have the T-shirt on. And my eyes are hazel. And the hair is just black and flawless. So pretty. Like I love that look.”

Big Sean Raps About Competing Against “So-Called Bigger Three”

It appears Big Sean is preparing to enter his next era as a recording artist. The Detroit native presented a new video on Wednesday (March 20) that showcases his lyrical ability.

“[I] was in the crib this morning recovering from food poisoning [and] decided to rap over this J Dilla flip Boi-1da, Leon Thomas [and] Jahaan Sweet sent me, it’s that season!!!!” Big Sean tweeted.

The Def Jam-backed MC opened his verse by seemingly referencing Drake, J. Cole and Kendrick Lamar. Many Hip-Hop fans have labeled those three Grammy Award winners as the Big Three.

Big Sean rapped, “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.”

There have been rumors for years about possible tension between Big Sean and Kendrick Lamar. The “Control” collaborators apparently settled any bad blood following the murder of Nipsey Hussle in March 2019.

Sean has also worked with Drake on tracks such as “All Me” and “Blessings.” Additionally, the midwesterner collaborated with J. Cole for “Looking for Trouble” and “24k of Gold.”

Over three years have passed since Big Sean dropped his Detroit 2 album. That 2020 studio LP debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart with 103,000 first-week units. Plus, the What You Expect EP with Hit-Boy arrived in 2021.

Marlon Wayans is speaking out after reportedly facing a paternity suit from a woman claiming the actor fathered her one-year-old child.  

Earlier this week, Brittany Moreland filed a petition to determine the parental relationship between her and Wayans’ daughter, Axl July Ivory Wayans, per The Blast.  

Moreland seeks joint physical and legal custody and has requested financial support. In an income and expense declaration, she asserted that Wayans makes an estimated monthly salary of $200,000. She also lists her monthly expenses as $21,000.

Marlon Wayans addressed the alleged paternity suit in a statement to The Shade Room. The comic implied he already makes a monthly payment of $18,000 for his daughter with Moreland.  

“It’s the classic case of a good, loving, responsible father shelling out over $18,000 per month for a one-year-old, and an entitled woman decides she wants more. My mama and dem would’ve lost their minds for $2,000,” he said. 

In addition, he claims that he’s never had a child support issue with his older children. He also rejected what he catagorized as an attempt to “discredit” his name.  

“All these women having to drag men to court who pay NOTHING towards their children,“ he added. “And here, a woman gets a doctor’s salary and says it isn’t enough? I’ve had two children before this. I’ve never had this problem. I’m a good man with a good heart and strong sense of responsibility, but I refuse to be used and discredited.” 

Boosie Badazz Blasts Planet Fitness For Banning Member Who Photographed “Trans Woman” In Locker Room

Boosie Badazz has weighed in on the controversy surrounding Planet Fitness after they banned a member who shared a photo of a “trans woman” using a female locker room. 

The woman detailed her gripe in a video posted to Facebook that has since gone viral. 

She claimed she had just finished her workout when she spotted “a man with a penis,” shaving in the locker room in front of a 12-year-old girl.  

“I’m not comfortable with him shaving in my bathroom,” she stated in the video. 

Boosie caught wind of the controversy and took to X (formerly Twitter) to bash the company.  

“Planet FITNESS AGAIN,” Boosie wrote before recalling a previous issue with the gym. “THEY BANNED ME WHEN I SPOKE N SAID “DONT CUT HIS D….K OFF.” 

According to Boosie, Planet Fitness is “unsafe,” and he urged “WOMEN ACROSS THE WORLD” to speak out.  

“A MAN WITH A PENIS N THE LOCKER ROOM,” Boosie added. “WITH A 12 YEAR OLD CHILD.” 

He shared his disbelief that “NOBODY” was taking a stand and singled out entertainers and athletes for remaining silent on the issue.  

“I CANT STAND THIS WORLD SOMETIMES FR FR THIS IS THE WORST OF THE WORSTIM,” he stated. “SICK OF YALL.” 

Following the backlash, Planet Fitness defended its decision to revoke the woman’s membership.  

A spokesperson told the Daily Mail that the former member violated Planet Fitness policy on recording in locker rooms. They also maintained that “discomfort is not a reason to deny access.” 

“Guests may use the gym facilities that best align with their sincere, self-reported gender identity,” the rep added.  

In February 2020, Boosie accused a Planet Fitness employee of denying him entry to the gym over his controversial comments about Dwayne Wade’s transgender daughter.

Benzino isn’t backing down from his bitter feud with Eminem, pulling up to the Detroit native’s hometown to film a music video at Em’s Mom’s Spaghetti store.  

On Wednesday (March 20) Benzino shared videos of his visit to the Motor City, which included a trip to Eminem’s eatery. He taunted the Shady Records founder by filming a music video at the premises.  

Benzino can be seen in clips posing in front of the “Mom’s Spaghetti” sign and ordering food outside. He even appears to steal one of the store’s advertising boards and is seen hauling it into a van.

Predictably, Benzino isn’t a fan of Eminem’s food. Another clip sees him sampling something from the menu before tossing the food on the ground.  

He shared a photo from his visit and claimed the spaghetti was “horrible.” 

“Mark this date,” he said before teasing the upcoming “Rap Elvis” video. “Soon come,” Benzino added.

Benzino faced backlash from Detroit natives over his Eminem beef, with some fans banning him from stopping foot in the city. Nonetheless, Benzino appears to be on a tour of the city. He’s been hanging out on the east side and linking with various local artists and media platforms.  He even had one of his songs playing at a Detroit nightspot.  

Benzino and Eminem’s beef started decades ago, in the early 2000s. The tension simmered down over the years before bubbling up again in 2023.

Monica has had enough of Ray J publicly speaking on a joint tour with Brandy and has told the singer-turned-tech entrepreneur to stop talking about her.  

Ray J recently hopped in the comments on Monica’s Instagram Livestream urging her to go on tour with his sister Brandy.  

“BRANDY/MONICA TOUR,” he wrote in the chat. “PLEASE LETS MAKE HISTORY, ONE RUN FOR THE FANS. 100M plus for you both.” 

Fans of “The Boy Is Mine” duo have long since called for Monica and Brandy to reunite with a joint tour and so his comment sent them into a frenzy of excitement. 

However, Monica said despite the public demand, she has never been approached about the possibility of a tour with Brandy. Nonetheless, she claims media outlets are contacting her, and she wants Ray J to pipe down about it unless there’s a deal on the table.  

“I’ve been repeatedly contacted about interviews where my name and tour possibilities are being discussed. I’ve not received any contracts or calls about said tour,” she wrote on her Instagram Story Wednesday (March 20). 

“Ray J – I’m kindly asking you to stop speaking on me in public!” Monica added. “A private conversation would be both necessary and respectful! Brandy is a LEGEND! She’s one of one with an extensive catalog that I deeply respect and a voice sent from heaven!” 

Monica continued, “The conversation being had without she and I is beginning to muddy the waters severely! She and I are both consummate professionals that share a massive recording as well as an entire era! Please allow this to remain positive and beautiful!” 

Ray J Claims Monica Would Open The Tour For Brandy

She also shared a post of Ray J claiming Monica would open up for Brandy on any tour.  

“Somebody has to come out first,” he said during an appearance on The Breakfast Club.

However, Monica blasted that suggestion. She is open to “co-headline” a joint tour but says business must be handled behind the scenes.  

Any further convo should be private,” she concluded her IG post.

She followed up with an Instagram comment stating there is no $100 million deal, acknowledging that she will “forever be the ‘bad guy’ in this situation.”

Soulja Boy Must Pay $10M Damages To Ex After Losing Assault Lawsuit

Soulja Boy has reportedly been ordered to pay $10M in damages to a former partner who filed a lawsuit accusing the rapper of abusing her for years, including one beating so bad that she miscarried their baby. 

In a 2021 lawsuit, a woman known only by the pseudonym Jane Doe recalled a particularly harrowing incident in 2015, per The Blast. She was living with the “Crank That” hitmaker, whose real name is DeAndre Cortez Way, and was pregnant with his child.  

She claimed they were having a “simple conversation” when Way “quickly became irate and violent.” 

“During their conversation, (Way) began to punch (Doe) in the face and chest, until she could no longer stand on her feet,” she alleged. Doe then fell down, and Soulja Boy continued his attack, kicking her in the stomach.  

“Soon thereafter, (Doe) suffered a miscarriage and was unable to carry her pregnancy into full term,” the filing stated.  

Doe cited another incident in 2017, accusing Soulja Boy of attacking her for wanting to visit her grandmother. She claimed the beating only stopped when his security became involved and pulled the rapper off of her.   

Jane Does Cites Numerous Assaults Against Soulja Boy

Jane Doe cites multiple instances of abuse against the rapper, whose real name is DeAndre Cortez Way, including domestic violence, gender violence, negligence, assault, sexual battery, and intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress. 

She claimed they began an on-and-off relationship in 2007 but “restarted their relationship in a more serious capacity in 2014.” However, Jane Doe said things ended in mid 2019 when she could no longer withstand (Way’s) constant abuse.” 

Her attorney, Neama Rahmani, told USA TODAY, “It took her years to escape the psychological and physical grasp of her abuser.” 

According to The Blast, a judge ruled that Soulja Boy must pay Doe $10 million in damages – $5M in pain, suffering, and inconvenience, and $5M in emotional distress. 

Rahmani also represents another Jane Doe who filed a lawsuit against Soulja Boy. A woman who worked as his personal assistant alleged that he sexually abused her, beat her and held her hostage. She accused him of multiple rapes and beatings.  

Rahmani said Soulja Boy “traumatized and filled her with fear.” 

Additionally, in 2023, Soulja Boy’s ex-girlfriend Kayla Myers was awarded six figures in damages after suing him for assault.

Megan Fox Tries To Clarify Drinking Machine Gun Kelly’s Blood

Megan Fox defended drinking the blood of Machine Gun Kelly during an appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast. Fox addressed her consumption of MGK’s blood while discussing the wildest rumors she’s faced over the years.

“I guess one of the ones that’s very persistent is that I’m Satanic, or do Satanic rituals, or maybe adjacent to Illuminati, or something in that vein,” she said. “Which I think really started—I don’t know why it started, there was just that one time I said I drink blood ritualistically, and then everybody was like, ‘Wow, she’s into Satanic rituals.’ But that was a very misunderstood thing.”

According to Fox, the general public incorrectly believed she was drinking a cup of MGK’s blood when it was something much more benign. She understood why people thought it was strange but questioned why it was seen as disturbing or Satanic.

“Everything is a matter of what you’re accustomed to or what is currently socially acceptable or normal,” she said. “And back in like the ‘50s even, how many times did you see like … little boys would go out with their little pop guns and they would cut their fingers and be blood brothers, right? And they’re like, ‘We’re best friends forever now.’ And they would smush the blood together on their fingers. That’s not Satanic, right? That’s normal and that’s cute … It’s like that except instead of rubbing your fingers together, the drop of blood goes in your mouth. And I don’t know why that becomes Satanic.”

She continued, “I understand people think are like, ‘Hey, that’s weird.’ But guess what I think is weird? I think it’s weird that girls are out here letting guys c## in their mouth and they don’t know these guys … F### you. You’re so offended that I got a drop of Machine Gun Kelly’s blood in my mouth … What is so gross about what I did with my soulmate?”

Fox revealed her and MGK’s bloody bond in a 2022 interview with Glamour UK. She referred to him as her “twin soul” on the Call Her Daddy podcast but refused to comment on the current status of their relationship.

Dr. Dre Says Snoop Dogg Forgot He Recorded This Classic From “The Chronic” In Jail

Dr. Dre had to remind Snoop Dogg of the humble and not-so-ideal origins of arguably their biggest collaborative hit—while they were on late-night TV.

During their recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Dr. Dre was joined by 50 Cent and Snoop Dogg. Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre took a walk down memory lane and ended up talking about The Chronic in the midst of their stroll. While remarking on their creative process, Dr. Dre actually had to break down how he recorded their seminal hit, “Nuthin But A ‘G’ Thang,” because Snoop forgot entirely.

A post shared by DROPS (@dropsmedia)

The tender exchange was kicked off after Kimmel asked, “So you recorded the demo over the phone from jail,” to which Snoop affirmatively replied “No, no, no, no, no!”

At this point, Dre interjected, “Snoop doesn’t remember that, but that happened.”

”What I do,” Snoop replied seemingly confused before Dre followed up with, “I remember you being in jail, you know I’ve told you this story before. Of course he doesn’t remember.”

Though Snoop Dogg says he does remember calling Dre from jail during that time period, he wasn’t able to fill in the details, but luckily his multi-platinum producer partner-in-crime handled that for him.

”I taped the f###ing headphone to the mic,” Dre said, which prompted Snoop’s reply, “Did I spit it? DAMN!” Check out the full interview below and watch the clip above.

This guy is one of the biggest rap stars in the game, yet hardly anyone seems to care about this achievement. Well, after some investigation, I unearthed some intriguing facts about Lil Nas X’s run. Firstly, he ran in old-school high-top sneakers (Coach to be exact), which many considered quite eccentric – and I’m inclined to agree. But, word on the street is he paid for not running all those miles in running sneakers. He ended up in a wheelchair after!

Additionally, he sported a silky, possibly velvet do-rag while running – now, that’s hilarious. Another noteworthy detail is that he proudly received a medal at the end, showing genuine excitement, as per sources I trust.

Now, some of you might be curious about his outing. Well, I’ve got the scoop on that too! He completed the half marathon in an impressive two hours, thirty-two minutes, and fifty-three seconds. He crossed the finish line at 10:03 AM. Congratulations are certainly in order, because he did not train at all.

SIGNS: Man Claims He Got Biologically Younger After Spending 100-Days Underwater

In a tale straight out of science fiction, Dr. Joseph Dituri made headlines after embarking on a groundbreaking underwater journey that he claims reversed his aging process.

The daring scientist plunged into the depths of a Florida lagoon, spending a staggering 100 days submerged beneath the waves in a high-pressure habitat. But this was no mere aquatic adventure. In fact, Dr. Dituri was on a mission to unlock the secrets of longevity and explore the potential of hyperbaric environments to rejuvenate the human body.

As Dr. Dituri delved into the murky depths, he not only conducted groundbreaking research but also stumbled upon a “brand new species,” adding an unexpected twist to his underwater odyssey. In his aquatic abode, a cramped 9m x 9m room accessible only by scuba diving, the intrepid scientist meticulously monitored his body’s response to the extreme pressure, all while juggling virtual teaching sessions with eager schoolchildren.

But the true revelation came when Dr. Dituri resurfaced from his aquatic sojourn, claiming his body had undergone a remarkable transformation. According to blood tests, the 56-year-old scientist boasted a 50 percent reduction in inflammatory markers, effectively shedding years off his biological age. In a jaw-dropping revelation to reporters, Dr. Dituri unveiled the astonishing results.

“I’m 56 now and my extrinsic [biological] age was 44,” Dr. Dituri told an Orlando news outlet. “When I got out of the water, my extrinsic age was 34. So, my telomeres lengthened. I actually got younger when I was under the water.”

Despite skeptics casting doubt on his claims, Dr. Dituri remains steadfast in his belief that the hyperbaric environment played a pivotal role in his alleged age reversal. Check out the proof the man says justify his claims above.
