Drake’s Legal Team Is Confident Lawsuit Will Move Forward Because UMG Is “Greedy” & “Desperate”

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: News

Drake’s legal counsel has swiftly responded to Universal Music Group’s (UMG) motion to dismiss his lawsuit over his claims regarding Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” diss track.

On Monday (March 17), AllHipHop obtained a statement from Drake’s lead attorney Michael Gottlieb pushing back on the 32-page legal document UMG filed in which it categorized Drake’s lawsuit as an “unfounded complaint.”

In the explosively stern, yet concise, statement Gottlieb released in response, the lawyer outright called out UMG for attempting to “distract” shareholders and others from their true actions. In doing so, Gottlieb described UMG as a “greedy” company profiting from misinformation and accused the company of causing far more serious conflicts, as a result.

“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.

As the statement continues, Gottlieb claims UMG is “desperate” and brazenly boasts the “confidence” Drake’s legal team has that the lawsuit will continue to move forward.

“This motion is a desperate ploy by UMG to avoid accountability, but we have every confidence that this case will proceed and continue to uncover UMG’s long history of endangering, abusing and taking advantage of its artists,” the statement concludes.

UMG’s legal filing moving to dismiss Drake’s lawsuit follows the Canadian MC agreeing to to scale back portions of the suit, last month. Drake initially accused UMG of inflating the song’s success using artificial streaming tactics, bots and other actions he claims not only tarnished his reputation but also put his safety at risk in the wake of Kendrick branding him a “certified pedophile.” However, in accordance with UMG’s legal team’s lead attorney Rollin A. Ransom, the label previously formally requested that a hearing regarding the lawsuit scheduled for April 2, 2025, be postponed, due to their plans to file a motion to dismiss by March 17.

In the introductory of the 32-page legal filing, UMG wasted no time in addressing what they see as an unfounded complaint.

“Plaintiff, one of the most successful recording artists of all time, lost a rap battle that he provoked and in which he willingly participated,” the motion states. “Instead of accepting the loss like the unbothered rap artist he often claims to be, he has sued his own record label in a misguided attempt to salve his wounds.”

Lefty Gunplay Held In Jail On $500K Bond; Next Court Date Set

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

Lefty Gunplay missed his Rolling Loud set Sunday (March 16) after authorities detained him on a mysterious felony warrant just minutes before he was supposed to hit the stage, adding another troubling chapter to the rapper’s rough month.

The rising Hip-Hop star, who was set to perform at 5:45 p.m. on the D’USSÉ Stage at Hollywood Park in Inglewood, California, was instead escorted away by cops, leaving concertgoers stunned and confused.

Footage quickly spread across social media platforms as police placed him under arrest backstage.

Festival organizers confirmed the incident, issuing a brief statement informing attendees that Lefty Gunplay would not perform due to circumstances beyond their control.

The rapper is currently being held on a $500,000 bond, but the exact reason behind his felony charge remains undisclosed.

This latest run-in with the law marks Lefty Gunplay’s second arrest in less than a month. Just weeks prior, on February 24, 2025, the rapper was apprehended during a routine traffic stop near 6351 Gateway West in El Paso, Texas.

Authorities initially found cocaine on the vehicle’s driver, Rennell Cordova, before finding roughly 64.96 grams of methamphetamine hidden on Lefty Gunplay himself during a subsequent body scan at the El Paso County Detention Facility.

Following that incident, Lefty Gunplay secured his release the same day by posting a $35,000 bond.

However, the seriousness of the drug possession allegations he faces in Texas could potentially result in severe consequences, including up to 20 years behind bars and fines reaching $10,000 if he is convicted.

Lefty Gunplay was already buzzing, but he was catapulted into the spotlight after appearing on Kendrick Lamar’s GNX album. The rapper’s collaboration with Lamar, “TV Off,” peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100.

The track solidified Lefty’s status as one of Hip-Hop’s most promising and sought-after talents.

Lefty Gunplay’s next court date is set for Tuesday (March 18).

50 Cent might’ve just landed the ultimate collab! Does Fif have a new, bouncing baby girl? If the internet sleuths are reading between the lines correctly, he might. Hip-Hop’s king of controversy has long been vocal about his desire to raise a daughter after fathering two sons. Now, a recent image buzzing around Instagram seems to hint strongly that Curtis Jackson could finally have a tiny queen in his court. Social media is trying to put it together, but we don’t know yet.

Yung Miami Cooperated?

Meanwhile, the plot thickens with Yung Miami, who somehow dodged that Diddy legal drama! She’s like Neo dodging bullets in “The Matrix.” Sheesh! Diddy’s ex-jawn, concubine City Girl popped back onto our timelines! She clapped those cheeks for all to see. Her and Fif seem to have something going on, but I can’t tell what yet. Her return has the streets buzzing. Anybody think she’s cooperating? I don’t pass judgment, but this level of comfort usually follows someone knowing they’re untouchable. And the open back-n-forth with Diddy’s arch-rival makes this even more interesting!

And speaking of messy, Dawn Robinson’s saga has taken a darker twist courtesy of none other than her ex-husband. The former EnVogue and Lucy Pearl vocalist is no stranger to group drama, but her personal life is coming into the rumors. And it feels even more complicated than her professional mess. Her former spouse of ten years has spilled an unbelievable cup of tea! This is HOT. He detailed Dawn’s alleged mental health struggles and claims she has chosen intentional homelessness. He maintains she’s rejecting offers of help, which I saw in the comments myself. I am wondering if she is just trying to get attention, as he says, or really needs help. He also says she maligned her own mother in this process, really claiming she is a sweet, loving woman. Watch this:

UMG Calls Drake’s Lawsuit “Misguided Attempt To Salve His Wounds” After Kendrick Lamar Loss

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: News

Drake’s legal battle against Universal Music Group (UMG) has taken yet another turn following the record label’s latest legal filing.

According to court documents obtained by AllHipHop, UMG filed a motion on Monday (March 17) to dismiss the lawsuit Drake filed against the label over his claims about the Kendrick Lamar’s ”Not Like Us” diss track. In the introductory of the 32-page legal filing, UMG wasted no time in addressing what they see as an unfounded complaint.

“Plaintiff, one of the most successful recording artists of all time, lost a rap battle that he provoked and in which he willingly participated,” the motion states. “Instead of accepting the loss like the unbothered rap artist he often claims to be, he has sued his own record label in a misguided attempt to salve his wounds.”

The court documents detail how the highly publicized feud between Drake and Lamar escalated in the spring of 2024, resulting in the release of nine diss tracks between them. UMG points out that Drake actively encouraged the back-and-forth, even dropping an extra diss when he felt Lamar was taking too long to respond.

UMG further highlights Kendrick’s “Not Like Us” as a cultural phenomenon, stating that it was the best-selling rap song of 2024, won multiple Grammys (including Record of the Year and Song of the Year) and even became part of the 2025 Super Bowl halftime show. Additionally remarking on the fact that the song’s impact was so massive that Saturday Night Live included it in its 50th anniversary special.

UMG’s motion to dismiss Drake’s lawsuit follows yet another major development in the Canadian MC‘s legal pursuit. Earlier this month, Drake reached a settlement with Texas-based iHeartMedia over the dispute concerning “Not Like Us.” In a court filing, Drake’s attorneys confirmed that the rapper and iHeartMedia had “reached an amicable resolution of the dispute,” but provided no additional details, per the outlet. “We are pleased that both parties have reached a mutually satisfactory settlement and have no further comment on the matter.”

Drake’s initial legal petition was filed in November 2024 in Bexar County, Texas. The petition alleged that iHeartMedia received illegal payments from Universal Music Group (UMG) to boost radio airplay for “Not Like Us.”

JAY-Z’s Attorney Reveals How Lawsuit Lies Impacted Rapper’s Kids

By: London JennnCategory: News

JAY-Z faced family turmoil after serious allegations surfaced online accusing the Hip-Hop mogul of a heinous crime alongside incarcerated mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs.

During a recent interview with ABC News, Hov’s attorney, Alex Spiro, opened up about just how profoundly the accusations affected JAY-Z’s personal life, especially his children. 

“It’s tough to hear a false lie said about you, spread through the internet, and affecting your children,” Spiro explained. “It’s tough on him, it’s tough on anybody. But what he does is he proves himself innocent.”

The controversy ignited in December 2024, when a woman using the pseudonym Jane Doe filed a lawsuit alleging that JAY-Z and Diddy sexually assaulted her in 2000 when she was just 13. 

However, in February 2025, a judge dismissed the lawsuit with prejudice, effectively ending Jane Doe’s claims against JAY-Z. 

Not content with merely clearing his name, JAY-Z responded aggressively. He launched a defamation suit in March 2025 against Doe and her legal representatives, including attorney Tony Buzbee. The Houston lawyer has filed lawsuits on behalf of more than 120 individuals who allege Diddy victimized them.

JAY-Z’s Attorney Says Recent Audio “Speaks For Itself”

Spiro also addressed the audio recording that significantly altered the case’s trajectory. 

“The people around Mr. Carter wanted to know what happened behind closed doors and so they asked for her to be interviewed,” Spiro explained. “The interview occurred, and the tape speaks for itself. She says in no uncertain terms Mr. Carter did not do this. It is effectively a lie, and the only reason Mr. Carter is even involved in this is because she was pushed to involve him, pushed to include him by a lawyer.”

The recording shows Doe explicitly stating that JAY-Z “didn’t have anything to do with any sexual acts” toward her. 

Additionally, Doe is heard indicating that her attorney, Tony Buzbee, encouraged her to name JAY-Z in the lawsuit. Buzbee vehemently denies the allegation, labeling it a “blatant lie.”

Spiro firmly rejected claims private investigators may have pressured or intimidated Doe.

“Of course not,” he insisted. “They did not coerce her, promise, or threaten her in any way, shape, or form. She voluntarily met and spoke to them, and she told them her truth, which was under no circumstances did Mr. Carter do this. And number two, the only reason he’s even involved in this is she was pushed to introduce him by a lawyer.”

Ultimately, Spiro believes JAY-Z’s defamation suit was necessary.

“The truth had to fully come out,” he added. “This person cannot be allowed to sort of hide from the reality that this was a false accusation.”

Kanye West Shifts Focus From Antisemitism To Misogyny

By: Kyle EusticeCategory: Rumors

Kanye West took a brief respite from his ongoing antisemitic antics in favor of a little misogyny.

On Monday morning (March 17), the exhaustive tweeter wrote, “The man makes the final decision,” a reference to his ongoing battle with ex-wife Kim Kardashian over daughter North West’s inclusion in a song featuring Diddy.

Kardashian made it clear she didn’t want North West tied to the track, titled “Lonely Roads Still Go to Sunshine,” but West released it anyway, prompting the reality television star to issue a cease and desist. In a text exchange West posted to Twitter (X), it was revealed Kardashian has full control over the North West trademark, therefore she has legal rights.

“I asked u at the time if I can trademark her name, you said yes,” she said in the text. “When she’s 18 it goes to her. So stop. I sent paper work over so she wouldn’t be in the Diddy song to protect her. One person has to trademark! We agreed when they were born I would get all of our kids names and trademarks so no one else would take them.”

Still, that didn’t dissuade West, who fired back, “Amend it or I’m going to war. And neither of us will recover from the public fallout. You’re going to have to kill me.”

West later went on to criticize Kardashian’s parenting, the same woman raising all four of his children.

“Yes I have beef with people that froze my account took my kids away and tried to put me in jail AND ITS STUCK,” he wrote on Saturday (March 15). He continued, “I DONT WANT TO JUST ‘SEE’ MY KIDS. I NEED TO RAISE THEM.I NEED TO HAVE SAY SO OF WEAR THEY GO TO SCHOOL AND WHO THEIR FRIENDS ARE AND WHOS HOUSES THEY SLEEP OVER WEATHER MY DAUGHTERS WEAR LIPSTICK AND PERFUME.

“ALL THESE RIGHTS HAVE BEEN TAKEN FROM ME BY THE KARDASHIAN MOB HULU AND DISNEY AND THE BIGGER AGENDA TO USE THE SELECTIVELY BRED BLACK CHILDREN TO BE PLATFORMS TO INFLUENCE BLACK PEOPLE.”

Before deleting them all, West concluded, “ITS LIKE IM IN PRISON ‘SEEING’ MY KIDS I DON’T CARE IF I LIVE OR DIE OR IF IM IN JAIL OR FREE.”

Kardashian held an emergency hearing with a mediator and a judge, which sources say West declined to attend. She was told he promised not to drop the song—evidently, that was a lie. The song arrived over the weekend. Find it below.

Iggy Azalea Blasts UMG In Explosive Rant Over Unpaid Royalties

By: London JennnCategory: News

Iggy Azalea has launched a scathing attack on Universal Music Group (UMG), accusing the music giant of withholding millions of dollars in unpaid royalties.

The Australian rapper took to social media over the weekend to expose what she claims is a blatant theft, stating that UMG owes her an amount in the eight-figure range.

In a series of fiery tweets, Azalea revealed that she has never received a single royalty from UMG for anything outside the United States. To make matters worse, when she attempted to address the issue through legal channels, the label responded with what she described as a laughable settlement offer of just $18,000.

“They owe me millions of dollars in back pay,” Azalea wrote. “They technically stole from me, as per my contract I am due payment.”

Azalea did not hold back, branding UMG as “criminals” who exploit artists for financial gain. She described the company as “the scummiest” in the industry and criticized its treatment of artists who lack the financial resources to fight for what they are rightfully owed.

“They do this to SO MANY artists who unfortunately can’t afford to fight for what they’re owed,” she continued. “Thus they get away with this behavior. Universal Music really needs to do better in their treatment of the artists who quite literally earn them millions via intellectual property they had zero part in creating. Yuck.”

Azalea said she has been privately battling UMG over this issue for over two years. She made it clear that she has no plans to back down.

“Universal Music, mark my words you ugly b####,” she declared. “You will pay me what’s owed.”

The rapper also called out what she sees as a deliberate strategy by major labels to discourage artists from pursuing legal action by making the process financially burdensome.

“They bank on hiding it and thinking the artist will never be able to pay for forensic accounting to happen,” she explained. “I can and I will be taking this to court.”

Azalea has vowed to take legal action if UMG does not present a “reasonable” settlement offer. She emphasized that she had warned the company of her intention to go public with the matter, and now, she is following through on that promise.

“One thing about me is: I will fight for what I want until I’m literally dragged out kicking and screaming,” she asserted.

A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie Miraculously Escapes Terrifying Car Accident

By: London JennnCategory: News

A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie narrowly escaped injury after destroying his luxury sports car in a late-night crash early Sunday (March 16) in New York.

The Bronx native found himself in a frightening situation around 1 A.M. ET when his sleek white sports vehicle was wrecked in an accident on a New York highway, per TMZ.

Videos shared by the outlet captured the chaotic aftermath. Footage showed the mangled remains of the rapper’s car surrounded by emergency responders.

Despite the damage to the vehicle, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie walked away unharmed. Authorities confirmed that the rapper did not go to hospital, as he sustained no injuries.

Nobody else was injured during the crash, according to emergency crews at the scene.

The white sports car appeared nearly unrecognizable, with the hood completely detached.

Although the exact circumstances leading up to the accident remain unclear, authorities have not yet specified whether it was a single-vehicle incident or another automobile was involved. Boogie’s manager told the outlet that the wrecked car belonged to the star and confirmed his involvement.

The damaged vehicle, no longer drivable, was promptly removed from the scene on a tow truck while emergency workers cleared debris from the highway. Traffic was temporarily impacted as responders cleared the scene.

Speculation about Flo Milli’s pregnancy began late last year. Fans began speculating after a video showed the rapper affectionately rubbing her belly. 

She initially responded playfully, quipping, “Can’t be bloated?” before officially confirming the news later that month.

As for Deerfield Beach, Florida, native G6reddot, he’s quickly rising in Hip-Hop circles as an associate of Kodak Black. 

He first made waves with his 2023 EP “Z6,” featuring standout songs like “Hard” and “326 (Get Away).” Later that year, his ambitious debut album “Z Dot” featured a robust 20 tracks, including “SKRR SKRR,” a collaboration with fellow rising artist BLP Kosher. 

G6reddot has also gained recognition behind the scenes, notably co-writing Cardi B’s chart-topping Billboard hit “Up.”  

However, it’s not all smooth sailing for Flo Milli and G6reddot. Flo dropped off a pair of tweets on Sunday, hinting at possible relationship drama. 

Ma$e Wants To Visit Diddy In Jail: “Perfect Time” To Have Conversation With Mogul

By: London JennnCategory: News

Ma$e is opening up about his strained relationship with Sean “Diddy” Combs, signaling a willingness to reconnect with the imprisoned mogul.

He put recent speculation to rest on his “It Is What It Is” podcast Monday (March 17).

During the episode, co-host Cam’ron mentioned whispers of alleged friction between Ma$e and one of Diddy’s sons at Voletta Wallace’s funeral last week. 

Although Cam’ron refrained from specifying which son, Christian Combs attended the service. Cam mentioned he’d heard the two were meant to sit next to each other but deliberately chose not to, hinting at underlying tension.

However, Ma$e laughed off the speculation, dismissing any notion of hostility. 

“We looked at each other, but I don’t think he saw me,” Ma$e clarified. “I would have said what’s up.” 

Turning the conversation toward Diddy, Ma$e expressed openness to visiting the former Bad Boy Records CEO, who currently awaits trial at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center without bail. 

“If my name was on the list, I’d go visit Puff,” Ma$e stated. “I would visit him, make sure he was good.”

Nonetheless, Ma$e was careful to clarify his stance, explicitly stating he wasn’t blindly taking Diddy’s side amid serious allegations but instead emphasizing loyalty and gratitude toward someone who had supported him professionally. 

“Not that I condone anything that they’re alleging them to have done,” Ma$e stressed. Acknowledging their rocky past, he further remarked, “He didn’t do all bad. He did some good.”

Ma$e Dropping Comeback Album On Day One Of Diddy’s Trial

Interestingly, Ma$e recently revealed he intends to drop his comeback album strategically timed with the start date of Diddy’s trial, scheduled for May 5, 2025. 

“Now we even,” Ma$e humorously stated last week, referencing the timing of his release announcement.

The complicated relationship between Ma$e and Diddy dates back to their Bad Boy Records days, marred by financial disputes and publishing rights disagreements. In 2020, Ma$e publicly accused Diddy of denying him the chance to buy back his publishing, even after offering over $2 million. Yet, some reconciliation occurred in September 2023 when Diddy returned publishing rights to Ma$e and other former Bad Boy artists, describing their relationship later as brothers who fight but ultimately love each other.

With Diddy’s trial looming, Ma$e remains open to reconnecting face-to-face, suggesting, “If they throw my name on the list, I think right now will be a perfect time for me and him to have a conversation.”

50 Cent Hilariously Fires Back After Yung Miami Rejects His Dating Potential

By: London JennnCategory: Rumors

50 Cent ignited social media fireworks after Yung Miami declared she wouldn’t date him, sparking a playful yet fiery exchange between them.

The lively digital dust-up began when the outspoken former City Girls rapper dished about potential celebrity romantic interests during a recent interview. 

Michael B. Jordan? Not happening. “No, not my type,” she bluntly confessed. Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather fared better, as Miami admitted, “I would [give him a chance].”

However, when the conversation turned to 50 Cent, the rapper-turned-entertainer quickly placed him firmly in the friend zone, albeit with genuine professional admiration. 

“I f### with 50, I like 50,” Yung Miami explained. “I respect 50, but relationship-wise, no. It’d be a little crazy. That man right there, I would want to just stay on his good side. Breakup, nothing. Hey. That’s a businessman. Someone I’d love to do business with.”

The rejection didn’t escape 50 Cent’s notoriously sharp wit. He promptly fired back on Instagram over the weekend.

“I like that she understands I’m a little different,” he wrote. “s### Diddy ain’t never getting out baby. Take your time with me be gentle [kissing face emoji] wit your fine ass !”

But Yung Miami didn’t shy away from the banter. She quickly clapped back with a tweet referencing 50 Cent’s classic track “Many Men,” prompting the rapper to return with another eyebrow-raising Instagram post. 

“Wow that was pretty aggressive,” 50 Cent wrote alongside a screenshot of Yung Miami’s post. “MANY MEN WANT TO SUCK THIS C###, I just want to have ice cream and go for a walk.”

If 50 Cent had paid closer attention, he might have realized Yung Miami was quoting lyrics from her 2021 song “Rap Freaks.” After the “Many Men reference, Miami adds, “But I want 50 Cent.”

Nonetheless, 50 Cent also teased Yung Miami’s rumored penchant for golden showers. 

He shared an Instagram image of a cartoon character urinating alongside the caption: “What ever you like baby, I’m not gonna judge you. Everybody else will, but I’m here for you.”

Charleston White Addresses Resurfaced Video Of Him Testifying Against Friend In 1991 Murder Trial

By: London JennnCategory: News

Charleston White brushed off criticism over a resurfaced video showing him testifying against a friend in a fatal 1991 shooting following a shoplifting spree, promising to spin the controversy into comedy gold.

The throwback footage, which recently reappeared online, captured a then 16-year-old White on the witness stand detailing how his friend, Antoine Dolittle, fatally shot 34-year-old Michael Levy after the pair stole hats and coats from an Arlington mall. 

According to White’s courtroom testimony, Levy confronted the teens in their vehicle, prompting them to toss the stolen merchandise out the window. 

Moments later, Dolittle took the firearm that White handed him in the backseat, cocked the hammer, and fired at Levy, striking him in the back as he walked away. White chillingly recalled Dolittle laughing right after pulling the trigger.

Now, decades later, the re-emergence of that courtroom clip has ignited fresh controversy around White, known today as a provocative online personality and comedian. 

But true to form, Charleston White isn’t losing sleep over renewed backlash. In a video response to critics, he was unapologetic and defiant, saying bluntly, “Just cause you saw it, you still broke. It don’t change nothing.”

With his trademark bravado, White reminded viewers he’s never claimed to adhere to street codes or outdated criminal ethics. He also asserted that his past cooperation with authorities was responsible and not traitorous. 

White confidently declared the resurfaced footage wouldn’t affect his career, adding sarcastically, “Everybody seen it before you seen it. It used to be on the news. I keep telling y’all I made the news before […] So what you seen it. You think they’re going to stop booking me?”

Doubling down, White teased plans to flip the serious situation into comedy material for his upcoming performances, promising audiences, “We going to laugh about it on stage.”

Rihanna Fuels Pregnancy Buzz While A$AP Rocky Wows With Helicopter Stunt At Rolling Loud 

By: London JennnCategory: Rumors

Rihanna sparked fresh pregnancy chatter while boyfriend A$AP Rocky turned heads at Rolling Loud California 2025.

The Harlem rapper shocked fans by helicoptering onto the stage, marking his dramatic return to performing after his recent acquittal.

The Bajan superstar attended the festival in an oversized navy bomber jacket paired with a daring sheer lace m### skirt, black lingerie visible beneath. 

Completing her edgy ensemble with a sparkling diamond choker and sleek black strappy heels, Rihanna once again prompted speculation about whether baby number three might be on the way. 

The Grammy winner has recently been spotted out and about in noticeably baggy clothing and strategic accessories, fueling rumors she could be expecting again.

Meanwhile, Rocky descended onto the Rolling Loud stage from a chopper emblazoned with “Don’t Be Dumb,” the title of his anticipated new album. 

Rocky didn’t disappoint, debuting several unreleased tracks, including the rumored-to-be-called “All Black (Stole Ya Flow)” and “Your Honor,” a collaboration produced by Metro Boomin. 

He also dropped crowd favorites like “A$AP Forever,” “RIOT (Rowdy Pipe’n),” “Tailor Swif,” and “Praise the Lord (Da Shine)” with Skepta.

The performance marked his first public concert appearance since being cleared of felony assault accusations. Rocky directly acknowledged the case during his set with a video montage briefly referencing the trial. 

He also addressed the tensions between Hip-Hop heavyweights Drake, Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole in another unreleased song, with provocative lyrics.

“I ain’t on J.Cole, I ain’t on Drake, I ain’t on Kendrick side,” he raps. “I choose homicide, they gonna see a different side.”

Rihanna Talks Parenting With A$AP Rocky & Future Baby Plans

Rihanna shares two young sons—RZA Athelaston, two, and Riot Rose, one—with A$AP Rocky. 

Earlier this month, she commemorated International Women’s Day by sharing intimate birth photos on Instagram. She called motherhood “By far the most powerful thing I’ve ever done as a woman… my little miracles!”

Rihanna playfully added, “And yes I gave birth in pearls and sunglasses… don’t ask, a lot was happening.”

Last April, Rihanna revealed she’s open to expanding their family even further.

“As many as God wants me to have,” she said. “I don’t know what God wants, but I would go for more than two. I would try for my girl. But of course, if it’s another boy, it’s another boy.” 

Praising Rocky’s parenting, she noted, “I let God lead and just let go,” adding that she knew he’d be “a great dad.”

Playboi Carti & The Weeknd Embrace Streaming Stars Kai Cenat & Dabo At Rolling Loud

By: London JennnCategory: News

Playboi Carti stunned festival-goers when he brought streaming sensations Kai Cenat and Dabo onstage during his electrifying performance with The Weeknd at Rolling Loud Sunday (March 16).

Footage from the event shows Carti shouting out the content creators before they joined him mid-performance.

At one point, Carti even hands Dabo the mic and later gifts him his signature “YVL” chain.

But the surprises didn’t stop there. The Weeknd, who had joined Carti as a special guest performer during the set, embraced Cenat and Dabo onstage, showing genuine enthusiasm upon meeting the two streamers.

This high-profile appearance follows a week of intense excitement for Dabo, who had previously gone viral after emotionally reacting to news of Playboi Carti’s MUSIC album release.

Dabo tearfully exclaimed, “I’m about to have a heart attack,” while showing his viewers a DM from Carti confirming the project’s arrival.

Playboi Carti Tells Kai Cenat & Dabo What Happened With Adin Ross

Carti’s relationship with content creators recently came under scrutiny after an awkward encounter with streamer Adin Ross in February 2024. During Ross’ highly publicized livestream—which drew over half a million viewers—Carti arrived two hours late, appearing masked in near-total darkness. Despite Ross initially promising Carti $2 million and a Ferrari, the rapper spent just six minutes on camera before leaving abruptly after receiving a duffle bag filled with cash. Ross later clarified he hadn’t paid the whole amount and publicly apologized to his audience.

Addressing that incident recently on a Discord call with Kai Cenat, Dabo, and ImDontai, Playboi Carti expressed his discomfort regarding the Adin Ross incident but said it hasn’t put him off streamers.

“Yeah, I got to [go on another stream],” Playboi Carti said. “I ain’t like that Adin Ross s###, bro. It wasn’t even supposed to be like that, no cap. You know what I’m saying? I wish that s### wasn’t like that; I don’t mean anything negative, for real.”

Jonathan Majors Opens Up About Horrific Childhood Abuse

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

Jonathan Majors revealed childhood abuse trauma to The Hollywood Reporter in a candid new interview detailing his emotional journey toward self-discovery and healing.

The 35-year-old actor, known for his standout role in Creed II, is attempting to rebuild his Hollywood career following a damaging 2023 conviction for assault and harassment against a former romantic partner.

The scandal significantly impacted his once-soaring trajectory in television and film, halting numerous high-profile projects.

Speaking openly to The Hollywood Reporter, Majors described the lasting emotional scars left by childhood sexual abuse, confessing the experiences deeply impacted his emotional well-being.

“I dealt with sexual abuse from both men and women from the time I was nine… From people who are supposed to look after you, in the absence of a father. I was f**ked up,” Majors explained.

Majors, whose father abandoned the family when he was only eight, shared how the absence of paternal protection compounded the trauma.

He recently discussed his childhood experiences with his mother, revealing that she expressed remorse for not shielding him from harm.

Jonathan Majors reassured her, saying, “I’m like, ‘It’s not even an issue, Mom. I just want you to know. And now we can all get busy and continue to connect and grow and learn from it, because it’s something that was in our family.'”

The former Marvel Cinematic Universe star, who once portrayed Kang the Conqueror, emphasized that confronting his past trauma has contributed to his understanding of recent troubling behaviors.

Rather than making excuses, Majors insists he’s committed to self-examination and personal accountability.

Reflecting on his struggles, Majors emphasized facing reality head-on rather than slipping into destructive patterns.

“There are no excuses, but by getting help, you begin to understand things about yourself… Am I going to fall into that narrative of falling apart, of self-destruction? Have a struggle, blame the world. Have a struggle, hate yourself. Have a struggle, deny everything. None of those narratives is beneficial,” he stated.

SIGNS: Baby Mama, Backlash & Bags: Fort Worth Tragedy Sparks Heated Debate Online

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: Rumors

This sucks. And then it gets worse.

Lil Ronnie and his young daughter were tragically gunned down in Fort Worth, Texas—and somehow, in the aftermath of unimaginable loss, the story took a wildly polarizing turn involving designer bags, viral videoo and GoFundMe scrutiny.

Ronnie Smith, better known as rapper Lil Ronnie, and his 5-year-old daughter were murdered at a local car wash in what authorities believe was a targeted hit. Naturally, the community and blogs alike came together in support, demanding justice and donating generously—more than $50,000 raised—for funeral costs and support for the grieving family.

But then came the curveball.

The child’s mother, whose name hasn’t been officially released, hit social media with what many are calling a jarring display of grief—or a stunning lack thereof. In a now-viral video, she coolly stated, “I grieve a little different.” That phrase alone lit the internet on fire. But it was her follow-up that took it into controversial territory: “Y’all took my baby, but I ain’t tripping on that.”

Wait, what?

Instead of mourning, the mom appeared in videos flaunting designer gear, a Louis Vuitton bag front and center, and casually flexing stacks of cash. The optics were off. She was not crying, no prayers, no distress…just money, fashion and vibes. Those who had donated like it was the ultimate betrayal. Bloggers that propped this up were highly upset. Middle fingers in a video? Yikes.

I don’t know nothing about Lil Ronnie, but she never showed any sadness regarding ol’ boy. Was there bad blood? Or was there something deeper at play? Grief looks different for everyone, some have argued. We shouldn’t police how people mourn, but accountability becomes part of the deal when people give you money.

A tragic shooting is now a mess.

Diddy’s Ex-Bodyguard Makes More Salacious Claims About Mogul’s Sex Life

By: Kyle EusticeCategory: News

Diddy’s former bodyguard Gene Deal did another interview with The Art of Dialogue in which he makes salacious claims about the embattled mogul’s sex life. According to Deal, who spoke about a similar topic on the same platform before, Diddy had a sexual relationship with former Bad Boy Records president Kirk Burrowes.

As he explains in the clip, Deal used to follow Diddy to Burrows’s apartment when they’d do money drops. But Diddy would wind up sleeping over at the home, which initially confused Deal. Fast forward to 2025 and Burrows is among the many suing Diddy for alleged sexual assault.

Deal addresses it in the clip, but questions, “Wait a minute, they was lovers.” Deal also alleged other Bad Boy employees previously caught Diddy and Burrows in compromising positions.

Burrowes filed his latest lawsuit against Diddy in February, alleging Diddy subjected him to “repeated sexual harassment, physical aggression and forced compliance with degrading sexual acts.”

The lawsuit also claims that Combs used “physical violence, blackmail, career sabotage and financial extortion” to force Burrowes into giving up his 25 percent stake in Bad Boy Entertainment. Burrowes filed a separate lawsuit against Diddy’s mother, Janice Combs, accusing her of participating in a fraudulent scheme to obtain full control of Bad Boy Entertainment.

It’s not the first time Burrowes has taken legal action against Diddy. In 2003, he filed a lawsuit over an alleged incident from 1996, but that case was dismissed. The current lawsuit is part of a series of legal complaints against Diddy, with at least 50 similar claims filed since November 2023.

Diddy’s legal team has dismissed Burrowes’ claims as “frivolous” and a waste of court resources, stating that these allegations have been repeatedly thrown out of court over the past 30 years.

Ray J Released By LAPD Despite Explosive Fight With Princess Love

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Ray J and Princess Love got in an explosive dispute tied to their ongoing divorce drama last week. The incident resulted in police intervention and Ray J being briefly detained.

The turbulence unfolded when Princess Love dialed 911, alleging that Ray J had become hostile, shouting aggressively. She thought he was possibly under the influence during their quarrel.

Responding swiftly, multiple Los Angeles Police Department officers arrived at the couple’s residence, placing Ray J in handcuffs and temporarily seating him in the back of a patrol car to defuse tensions.

Despite the alarming scene, authorities concluded quickly—after gathering statements from both parties—that no criminal offense had occurred.

The officers subsequently released Ray J and removed the handcuffs. As standard LAPD protocol, a domestic violence incident report was documented, yet no charges or arrests ensued from the confrontation.

In footage captured during the aftermath, Ray J appeared calm and appreciative toward law enforcement.

Ray J expressed his gratitude, calmly telling officers, “I just like y’all did everything y’all could. I just want to just be free thank you, you guys are the best.”

The incident spotlights a history of marital instability for the reality stars, who exchanged vows in a lavish ceremony in August 2016.

Their relationship has been marked by repeated divorce filings and reconciliations.

The first filing came in May 2020, only to be withdrawn two months later. Another came swiftly in September of the same year, dismissed again by February 2021.

A third attempt followed in October 2021, ultimately abandoned in March 2023. The couple is now in the midst of their fourth divorce filing, initiated by Ray J in February 2024.

Throughout their nearly eight-year marriage, the pair have welcomed two children, a daughter, Melody, born in May 2018, and a son, Epik, born in December 2019.

Their family life, often portrayed in the public spotlight through reality television, has been consistently turbulent, marked by emotional disputes and public disagreements.

Kanye West’s “No Fat People” Tweet Elicits Strong Reactions—But It Isn’t Surprising

By: Kyle EusticeCategory: Rumors

Kanye West is on another Twitter tear and this time, his targets include Playboi Carti and (big surprise) Jewish people. While we aren’t going to bore our readers with further examples of West’s ongoing anti-Semitism and digs at other rappers, we are going to bring attention to his casting call tweet.

In between deleting another round of offensive tweets that are now a permanent part of West’s tarnished legacy, he posted a casting call announcement in which he barred overweight people from applying.

He wrote, “THE HOOLIGANS. Open casting call for volunteers. Ye is putting together a hooligan choir to give the sound of the Vultures number one song Carnival. All males. NO FAT PEOPLE. The skin complexion of Sean Combs and darker. With shaved heads OR must be willing to shave head if approved.”

West also requested anyone interested in the role must “be comfortable wearing swastikas,” which is completely on brand for the polarizing rapper/producer.

“We are accepting members from all over the globe but the base will be in Los Angeles.” He included the addresses and ended his tweet with “F### AN EMAIL ADDRESS.”

West’s body-shaming tweet garnered strong reactions, with one person writing, “This is straight-up clown behavior. If you’re begging for attention this hard, you’ve already lost. Swastikas? Fat-shaming? Obsessing over skin color? You sound like a joke trying way too hard to be edgy. Nobody with self-respect would waste their time on this garbage.”

Another added, “You’re really digging deep into the depths of societal toxicity aren’t you? I mean, excluding fat people and demanding specific skin complexion is quite something,” while yet another said, “JEWISH lives matter, BLACK lives matter, f### slavery, f### yo NARCISSIM and also- son- f### you.”

One netizen even offered, “I’m gonna show up and force feed you pills that make you normal.”

At this point, that doesn’t even seem possible. West recently defied his ex-wife Kim Kardashian’s wishes and released a track featuring their daughter North West, Diddy and Diddy’s son Christian Combs. Kardashian was adamant she didn’t want their child on a song with the incarcerated mogul—he did it anyway. But this is Kanye’s world and we’re just living in it—at least, that’s what he wants us to believe.

The saddest part about this entire situation is if and when Bully drops, it will probably still debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, West will still sell thousands of dollars in merch and people will still show up to his concerts. It’s clear we are outnumbered by Americans who have no backbone, morals, ethics and standards.

What would Donda think of her son’s antics? Is it really THAT hard to just be a good person? Don’t ask Kanye. He obviously has no clue.

What Rapper Was Almost Lined Up Overseas?

By: Houston WilliamsCategory: Rumors

As you already know, rappers aren’t going to stay hot forever. If you’re lucky, you get some hits and you’re able to tour with those hits. One rapper, a major star, found himself touring the world. I can’t say exactly who this is, but I can tell you he was dealing with some folks from Russia.

Everything seemed all good and cool… but the problem is they thought everything was cool. What do I mean? Well, the rapper wanted some girls. And these young guys decided they would go out and provide him with that service. They found the girls and basically let them do whatever they wanted. Now, this wasn’t an illegal situation, but it definitely had that kind of energy.

Rumors & Gossip About Your Favorite Rappers, Actors And More

So the rapper and his crew have a great time, not realizing they’re dealing with some real gangster dudes. Or maybe a better term would be baby gangsters.

These baby gangsters reportedly—and I emphasize reportedly—pondered doing something to the rapper. But they didn’t. Allegedly, they decided to let him and his crew continue the tour. Still, they felt extremely disrespected by the rapper and his entourage. They were hoping to do business with him and level up what they were doing. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen.

They’re probably keeping a decent relationship alive just in case this rapper circles back and needs something else. But to all the rappers out there, I urge you—be very respectful if you leave this country.

Times are changing like crazy, and I think instances of disrespect might not be tolerated much longer. If you’re not careful, you could end up hurt, kidnapped—or worse. Sadly, the leadership here in the States is creating a more hostile global environment. And we just might not be as safe as we think.

So take care out there.
