Krayzie Bone of Bone Thugs-n-Harmony is reportedly in the hospital fighting for his life. According to inside sources, Krayzie checked himself into a Los Angeles area hospital on Friday (September 22) after he started coughing up large amounts of blood. Krayzie suffers from sarcoidosis, an inflammatory disease in which the immune system overreacts, causing groups of cells to form clusters of inflamed tissue called “granulomas” in one or more organs of the body.

After Krayzie Bone underwent a cat scan, doctors discovered an artery was leaking inside one of his lungs. He underwent immediate surgery, but the bleeding didn’t stop. As of Sunday (September 23), Kray is purportedly on a breathing machine and sedated. Bizzy Bone took to his Instagram Stories with a simple message: “Pray 4 Kray.” He added, “Can’t sleep. Sometimes you just gotta pray.”

Sources added he quit smoking a few months ago, which seemed to signal something was awry. The troubling news is starting to spread on Twitter, with many sending their good energy Krayzie’s way.

Bone Thugs has had an epic year thus far. On August 11—the official 50th anniversary of Hip-Hop—Bone Thugs returned to their hometown of Cleveland, Ohio, where the intersection of E. 99th Street and St. Clair Avenue was renamed “Bone Thugs-n-Harmony Way.” The following day (August 12), Bone Thugs hit the stage during the Glenville Festival at Sam Miller Park then joined LL COOL J for The F.O.R.C.E. Tour at the Rocket Mortgage Field House.

“With Hip-Hop, I’ve been blessed to be here,” Krayzie told AllHipHop at the time. “To be here at the beginning, to watch and see every phase that it’s went through, I’m excited to see what the next 50 years is going to bring. Hip-Hop is definitely here to stay as a music genre, but it’s still so young.

“I just want to see Hip-Hop mature and be more kind and respectful to the artists that carry this genre. I want to see a balance between artists and corporations. It’s still young, but it needs to mature a lot. We need to realize and understand how to treat all legends like other genres of music.”

Prayers up for Krayzie Bone. AllHipHop sends all of our love and support.

Lil Kim has responded to criticism over her most recent magazine cover. The 49-year-old rapper posed for this month’s cover for Ebony Magazine, which caused a stir as many believed the photo was heavily edited.

The cover image shows Lil Kim sitting on the floor wearing a pink silk dress with a matching scarf draped over her head and shoulders. The look was completed with a glamorous crown.

Soon after the cover was unveiled in early September, many criticized the image for being airbrushed, and some oven wondered if it was created with AI (artificial intelligence) technology.

One X/Twitter user said, “This retouch is so bad, I thought it was AI. Somebody pls tell me it is. QUICKLY.”

Lil Kim took to her Instagram Stories to address the cover, writing, “Who is this?! Cuz that’s not the photo I approved or any other content they’ve put out.”

Lil Kim continued, “I always told Ebony it looked like a painting but they didn’t wanna listen. They said they loved it. It’s the sabotage for me. The funny s**t about this, is that this is their retoucher!

The legendary rapper appeared to be responding to Ebony’s photography director who shot the cover, Keith Major, who had previously stated of the picture, “Man, she wanted to be in control of the retouching so this is what we got.”

The National Football League and Roc Nation have announced Usher as the Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show LVIII performer. According to HITS Daily Double, inside sources confirmed the news over the weekend. Chatter surrounding who will take the iconic stage has been swirling for months. Initially, fans thought Miley Cyrus and Harry Styles were slated to perform—but that notion was quickly nixed. Then rumors *NSYNC, Destiny’s Child and Backstreet Boys were reunited for the Big Game, but those have been debunked as well.

The NFL made it official on Sunday morning (September 23) with a tweet that read, “USHER. LAS VEGAS. APPLE MUSIC HALFTIME SHOW.”

Usher has had an incredible year thus far. His Las Vegas residency, Usher: My Way the Vegas Residency, began last July and was so popular, he needed to add more dates. The final Park MGM shows will be held from November 3 to December 2, while limited tickets remain for Usher’s performances in October.

As for the Super Bowl, the Big Game takes place on February 11 at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

President Joe Biden Catches Heat For Calling LL COOL J “Boy” During Train Wreck Speech

By: Kyle Eustice Updated Category: News

LL COOL J and MC Lyte were honored with the Phoenix Award during the annual awards dinner in Washington D.C. on Saturday (September 22). The event took place at CBC’s 52nd Annual Legislative Conference with President Joe Biden in tow. One particular clip from the soirée is going viral.

At one point, Biden got up to deliver a speech about both Hip-Hop artists and fumbled LL COOL J’s name—but then it got worse.

“Two of the great artists of our time representing the groundbreaking legacy of Hip-Hop in America , LL Jay Cool J, uhhh…” he said as the crowd laughed at the gaffe. “By the way that boy — that man’s got biceps bigger than my thighs.”

Of course, social media blew up with reactions to Biden’s blunder. One person wrote, “While speaking the black caucus joe Biden referred to legend MC LL Cool J as “Boy” and the black caucus laughed. Biden is the racist Malcolm X fought against,” while another said, “Cracked Segregationist Joe Biden calls rapper LL Cool J ‘boy.’ Old habits die hard. But it won’t matter. Democrats are the party of slavery, Jim Crow etc and the black community, victims of their destructive policies, continue to vote for these villains.”

Referring to an adult Black man as “boy” is historically racist. In the 1930s, a young Martin Luther King Jr. was sitting in the passenger seat of his father’s car when his dad accidentally ran a stop sign on a Georgia street. As King recalled in an essay, “A policeman pulled up to the car and said: ‘All right, boy, pull over and let me see your license. My father replied indignantly, ‘I’m no boy.’ Then, pointing to me, ‘This is a boy. I am a man, and until you call me one, I will not listen to you.”

Once King became a civil rights activist writing from a Birmingham, Alabama jail cell, he would point to the word “boy” as one of Jim Crow’s ritual humiliations, braided into the racial etiquette of the post-slavery South. He noted it was yet another way that white people weaponized language to remind Black people of their place.

Twitter (X) exploded with memes after Biden’s clip went viral. Check out a few of the reactions below.

Naomi Campbell Says Her Cocaine Habit Almost Killed Her

Naomi Campbell has admitted that she was “killing herself” with her past drug addiction.

While discussing her past substance abuse problems on the new Apple TV+ docuseries, “The Super Models,” Naomi admitted using cocaine to help her cope with childhood traumas and grief.

“I guess when I started using, that was one of the things I tried to cover up, was grief. Addiction is such a… bulls**t thing, it really is,” the supermodel said candidly. “You think, ‘Oh it’s gonna heal that wound.’ It doesn’t. It can cause such huge fear and anxiety. So I got really angry.”

The 53-year-old opened up about the death of her close friend, fashion designer Gianni Versace, and how it impacted her life. The designer was famously murdered outside of his home in Miami Beach in 1997.

“He was very sensitive to feeling me, like, he pushed me,” Naomi said. “He would push me to step outside and go further when I didn’t think I had it within myself to do it. So when he died, my grief became very bad.”

The fashion icon battled her drug addiction in the ’90s for five years.

“When you try to cover something up, your feelings – you spoke about abandonment. I tried to cover that with something,” she admitted. “You can’t cover it. I was killing myself. It was very hurtful.”

Naomi decided to check herself into a rehabilitation center after collapsing during a photoshoot in 1999.

“It was one of the best and only things I could have done for myself at that time,” she said. “It’s taken me many years to work on and deal with. And it does still come up sometimes. But I just now have the tools to deal with it when it comes up.”

Eminem Gave $615K To Ex-wife Kim Mathers For New Home

Eminem met his ex-wife, Kim Mathers, when he was a teenager. Despite their tumultuous relationship, it appears he’s still looking out for her. According to The Sun, he recently gave her a $615,000 for a new house—just a few months before she sold the mansion she was living in.

The loan came from his company, Shady Games, Inc. Eminem is listed as not only the president but also the treasurer and secretary.

Mathers reportedly used the money to purchase a home in Macomb, Michigan, a four-bedroom, three-bath home that cost her around $530,000.

A description of the home notes its 730-square-foot garage and adds, “Enjoy the private backyard setting from your covered lanai or better yet from the comfort of your hammock under the custom pergola while enjoying the warmth of a fire during cool fall nights.”

Mathers sold the old mansion she lived in, also bought by her ex, where she raised three children and her son Parker from a different relationship. That home sold in March for $1,350,000.

Eminem and Mathers got married in 1999 but divorced in 2001. Shortly after the split, she sued him for defamation over his song “Kim.” After they settled out of court, they remarried in 2006 but split again just a year later. Eminem later apologized in his 2017 album Revival with the track “Bad Husband.”

“We brought out the worst in each other,” he rapped. “Someone had to make the sparring end/ ‘Cause I loved you, but I hated that me/ And I don’t wanna see that side again/ But I’m sorry, Kim/ More than you could ever comprehend.”

Will Smith Announces “Class Of ’88” Podcast: “I’m Hyped To Share My First-Hand Experiences”

Will Smith, who used to go by the moniker Fresh Prince, has announced his upcoming podcast, Class of ‘88. The eight-episode project will be produced by Wondery, Audible, Westbrook and Awfully Nice and celebrate Hip-Hop legends who rose to prominence in 1988.

Notable names scheduled to be on the show are Queen Latifah, Salt-N-Pepa, Darryl “DMC” McDaniels, Rakim and Chuck D. The show will also feature an episode with DJ Jazzy Jeff, the Godfather of Philly Hip-Hop and Smith’s former DJ. The first episode is scheduled to air October 26.

“Hip-hop has been a central part of my life for over four decades,” Smith said in an interview with Billboard. “I’m hyped to share my first-hand experiences, and those of some of Hip-Hop’s greatest legends as we delve into the origins of one of the most influential genres of music in history.”

Why is 1988 so special to Will Smith? Just ask his wife, Jada Pinkett. It was the year he and DJ Jazzy Jeff dropped the Jive release of “Parents Just Don’t Understand.” Pinkett reposted the entire video of her and 2Pac lip-syncing to the Grammy Award-winning song earlier this week.

The song was big—not only did Pinkett and ‘Pac love the song, but it also became the first rap song to win a Grammy in its own category. Smith and Jazzy Jeff boycotted the awards because the Recording Academy didn’t televise the award. Decades later, the rap categories are arguably the most exciting at the ceremony, and this year anchored the event with an outstanding tribute to 50 years of Hip-Hop.

Rolling Stones’ Keith Richards Slams Rap: “I Don’t Really Like To Hear People Yelling At Me”

By: Kershaw St. Jawnson Updated Category: News

The Rolling Stones’ guitarist, Keith Richards, is presumably not celebrating Hip-Hop’s 50th anniversary. In a recent interview with The Telegraph, the 79-year-old was asked about rap and said he didn’t like “people yelling” at him.

But it’s not just rap music he doesn’t like—it’s other genres, too.

“I don’t want to start complaining about pop music,” he said. “It’s always been rubbish. I mean, that’s the point of it. They make it as cheap and as easy as possible and therefore it always sounds the same; there’s very little feel in it.

“I don’t really like to hear people yelling at me and telling me it’s music, aka rap. I can get enough of that without ­leaving my house.”

The Rolling Stones new album, Hackney Diamonds, is set to drop on October 20 and will feature artists such as Lady Gaga, Stevie Wonder and Paul McCartney.

It will be the first new music for the group in more than 18 years. Richards says they wrote the album in December 2022 and recorded it the following month in the Bahamas, Los Angeles and New York.

As for Richards’ comments, he isn’t the first rock legend to hate on rap nor will he be the last. In 2014, KISS frontman Gene Simmons infamously said rap artists don’t belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, telling Radio.com, “A few people decide what’s in and what’s not. And the masses just scratch their heads. You’ve got Grandmaster Flash in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? Run-D.M.C. in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? You’re killing me. That doesn’t mean those aren’t good artists. But they don’t play guitar. They sample and they talk. Not even sing.”

ZIO: A Falling Star Landed In Pittsburgh

By: Staff Writer Updated Category: Music

August 11 1973 Hip Hop was officially born in NYC. 50 years past that date the music has grown into a global artform, becoming one of the world’s most influential cultural forces, an integral part of social and racial justice movements, and a multibillion-dollar industry built on generations of rapping, emcees, DJs, breakdancing and graffiti.

            Kamala Harris said hip-hop is “the ultimate American art form” that “shapes every aspect of America’s popular culture.”

“Hip-hop culture is American culture,” she told the crowd. Kamala hosted a celebration of hip-hop’s 50th anniversary with appearances by some of the music genre’s pioneers and stars.

            We have found a pioneer of our own, a hidden gem, a falling star, in a small humble blue-collar steel town. This artist’s name is ZIO which is properly pronounced as ZEE-YO. ZIO is an American rapper, producer and actor hailing from Pittsburgh,PA. We have been following him since Wiz Khalifa’s Star Power EP, since Mac Miller’s K.I.D.S EP but ZIO went rogue, ghost, and basically fell off of earth it seemed.

            ZIO, like a comet, dropped out of nowhere with an EP this year titled BIZZY 2 which is an encore to his debut from 2019 BIZZY 1, turning it into a compilation. ZIO has radically changed the atmosphere of his music since we first heard of him in 2007 at the age of 17. A fresh audience is growing around his new music on Spotify and Apple Music. ZIO promises to release a song every other week at minimum until eventually the labels come to help circuit his music globally.

            ZIO was born December 27 1988 as  Mitchel K. Malizio in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Growing up in predominantly a Hispanic and African American family. His father wasn’t around until the age of 12 due to a lengthy prison sentence for crack cocaine trafficking. ZIO was normally the only kid of his complexion in the schools, boys and girls clubs, or neighborhoods he grew up in.

“Racism is alive and we need to kill it” he said as he took a drag from a thick and perfectly smooth joint.

            ZIO was drafted by a street DJ named DJ Schizophrenic in 2007 which led his trajectory directly to being nominated against Wiz Khalifa for best male hip hop artist. At 17 that’s BIG news for a kid from a town with less than 400,000 people. ZIO eventually was put in front of Atlantic Records, unfortunately, it was cut short due to ZIO’s run-in with the Broward Sheriff’s Office in an incident involving a shooting.

            Taking a hiatus and getting his life on track ZIO vowed to come back with a vengeance. Starting in 2018 he came back with a slew of guerilla videos one featuring Nelly’s Artist on Derrty Entertainment T-RELL, in addition to meeting with Flo Rida at Studio 187, and finally releasing BIZZY 1. Then out of the blue, with no warning, he dropped BIZZY 2 on April 20th, 2023 which now is on its way to 250,000 streams.

          For more information on ZIO like the newest music, tour dates, or just creeping on his page to see if you like what he’s dropping find him on his Instagram.

@LONEWOLFDTA

When we asked why he chose that Instagram handle for his page he replied, “Because I don’t trust a motherf%ckin’ soul.” The DTA stands for “Don’t Trust Anyone” and the Lone Wolf is because he knows he doesn’t need anyone except belief in himself and God.

Moneybagg Yo was expected to perform in his hometown of Memphis on Saturday (September 30), but it was canceled. Not long after the news spread, the rapper took to social media to blast rumors he had anything to do with the concert’s cancelation.

The FedExForum said they’d give refunds for people who purchased tickets already, but Moneybagg Yo felt he needed to reach out to his fans.

“I did not cancel s### FedExForum canceled the show!” he said in a Facebook post. “I Spent 300k in production and had MAJOR special guests popping out to help me put on for my city! S### broke my heart frfr that was the one show I was looking for to I love coming home (a broken heart emoji).”

Moneybagg Yo continued, “I tried everything in my power to assure them that none was gone happen ! Unfortunately At the moment we looking for another venue that’s large enough will keep u updated thanks for everybody support (100 percent emoji).”

The other shows at FedExForum weren’t canceled and so far, there’s no word on why Yo’s was. Other shows like AEW Wrestling, Kirk Franklin and Stevie Nicks are going on as planned.

This record and the groundbreaking visual, directed by the Bay Area’s Noble Cinema serves as a bold statement from UnLearn The World, setting himself apart from the humdrum herd of up and coming artists to better establish himself as a force to recon with within the culture.

With the use of special FX, we see UnLearn’s transformation from angel to demon and everything in between as the bridge of the song goes “Showing you my many faces like AI art, it’s Un…”. The song was produced by Asethic, whose production credits include beats for Royce Da 5’9, Skyzoo, Planet Asia and RJ Payne. 

50 Cent Disses Former G-Unit Members Young Buck & Lloyd Banks—Again

50 Cent has been beefing with Young Buck and Lloyd Banks for what seems like eons. It’s truly no surprise to hear him throwing jabs at his former G-Unit signees, something he apparently did at a recent stop on his Final Lap Tour. On Friday (September 22), the rapper/television mogul shared a video to his Instagram account and once again set his sights on Lloyd Banks and Young Buck.

The behind-the-scenes clip is a look at his recent show in New Jersey and finds 50 Cent joking, “They think this is something? Wait ‘til they see Lloyd Banks’ tour.” He adds, “Wait ‘til they see Straight Outta Cashville,” in reference to Young Buck’s debut album. He wrote in the caption, “Man NJ was a vibe. Toronto is up next! You know I love Canada energy. BOOM.”

The Final Lap Tour has been full of notable moments. Last week, 50 Cent made a stop in Detroit, where he welcomed longtime collaborator Eminem to the stage. The two performed “Patiently Waiting” and the 2009 hit “Crack A Bottle.” Before Slim Shady exited the stage, he told the crowd, “Detroit, make some noise for one of the best friends I’ve ever known, 50 Cent. Make some noise for Hip-Hop’s 50th birthday y’all.”

The Final Lap Tour intends to celebrates the 20th anniversary of 50 Cent’s debut album, Get Rich or Die Tryin’. 50 Cent paid tribute to Eminem and Dr. Dre when the project reached the milestone earlier this year.

“When you have a team like this it’s hard to lose,” 50 Cent wrote in an Instagram post at the time. “I’m so blessed to have worked with the best ever. you can re-write a book, you can re -write a song but you can’t re-write history. The 3 headed monster EM, DRE and 50cent. Boom”

As for Young Buck, one of his summer concert appearances didn’t go so well. In July, Afroman spoke out after a fight erupted between Young Buck and his entourage at a Virginia concert. According to the “Because I Got High” rapper, the altercation took place at The Zarati Shop in Abingdon, where both parties were on the bill. Afroman says Young Buck was acting intoxicated and belligerent.

Afroman explained his side of the story in a lengthy Instagram post, saying he was offended by Buck’s repeated use of the “n-word.” He wrote, “Went to do a show the venue told me to be there at 9:20 when I got there I had to wait because somebody was still on the stage. The venue had to close at 11 I was waiting with my social media photographer, my bodyguard and my artist Lil Sodi when Young Bucc entered the room.

“I am anti N-Word Young Bucc yells out fucc all n-words who don’t do drugs. He was behaving, hostile and aggressive. We were on the right side of the VIP section. He entered the room going to the left side of the VIP section yelling, all kind of insults. He changed his direction and walked bacc over 70 feet He walked over to my socials media photographer, and with a bacc hand strikes him in the side of his stomach.”

Afroman ended his account by wishing nothing but love to Young Buck, who’s had a tumultuous few years—from arrests and financial struggles to his ongoing beef with 50 Cent. 

Eminem’s Ex-Wife Kim Mathers Says She Will Be At Their Daughter Hailie’s Wedding

Eminem and Kim Mathers’ daughter, Hailie Jade, is getting married and wants her parents there for the ceremony. According to the U.S. Sun, she won’t have to worry about them beefing. Hailie is marrying Evan McClintock, and Mathers reportedly said she’ll be there to witness their nuptials, even though she’s been at odds with her daughter for some time.

When asked if she sees her children, including Alaina Scott (her sister’s daughter that Eminem adopted), she replied, “Not often but often enough!” Scott, 30, was also recently married and Eminem walked her down the Great Gatsby glam-themed aisle.

Eminem introduced Hailie early on in his career in songs such as “97 Bonnie and Clyde,” which revolved around his tumultuous relationship with Mathers, who he met in 1988 after she got out of a youth home.

A 6-year-old Hailie was also featured on “My Dad’s Gone Crazy,” the song that made her a Guinness World Record holder. In 2002, she was the youngest performer to be credited with a hit.

Eminem once talked about putting her on the track, telling Rolling Stone., “Me and Dre were working together and Hailie was running around the studio and she was like [in a little girl high voice], ‘Somebody please help me! I think my dad’s gone crazy!’ Instantly that locked in with a beat we’d made the day before. I went to my house, and I had her go in the booth and say it. When she opens up, she’s just like her dad in a lot of aspects. I just told her what to say and she nailed it, the first take.”

Hailie made her engagement to McClintock public in February via Instagram, writing, “Casual weekend recap… 2.4.23 … I love you @evanmcclintock11.”

Nicki Minaj Responds To Drug Addict Accusations

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY) Updated Category: News

There has been a lot of controversy surrounding Nicki Minaj since the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards aired on September 12. Mainly, social media users have been focused on Minaj’s husband, Kenneth Petty.

After years of Nicki Minaj and Cardi B feuding, the two women’s husbands got directly involved in the beef. Footage of Kenneth Petty calling out Cardi’s spouse, Offset, went viral.

Those actions reportedly led to a judge ordering Kenneth Petty to serve up to 120 days on home detention for making threatening remarks. Petty is currently on probation after failing to register as a sex offender in California.

It appeared Nicki Minaj would address her husband’s situation and possibly her ongoing bad blood with Cardi B. Earlier this week, Minaj said, “Tomorrow’s Queen Radio will be one for the books. I’m going to unlock a lot of secrets that need to be unlocked.”

Anyone expecting Nicki Minaj to speak on any major personal issues on her latest episode of Queen Radio may have felt disappointed by the end of the program. The Trinidad and Tobago-born hitmaker mostly avoided the scandals connected to her name at the moment.

#QueenRadio did become a trending topic on the X platform. Many diehard fans of Nicki Minaj expressed appreciation for the New York-based performer’s show. However, other listeners questioned Minaj’s behavior with some people wondering if she was under the influence of drugs.

Nicki Minaj seemed to push back on the drug addict narrative that spread across the internet. Overnight, the 40-year-old recording artist posted a message on her Instagram Story that came off as a response to the negative reactions to her Queen Radio appearance.

Nicki Minaj Previously Admitted To Using Certain Drugs

“They want you to be mad so bad that when you [are] happy, having fun they say something [is] wrong with you. When I see them saying that I know I got under that dingy skin,” wrote Minaj. “A millionaire joking around. That’s all it is boo.”

This is not the first time Nicki Minaj faced allegations of being addicted to some type of narcotic. Remy Ma implied her longtime rival has been filmed “sniffing them ski slopes.” Some fans believed Latto, another adversary of Minaj, took shots at the Queen album creator with her “it’s giving coke” lyric.

Back in 2021, Minaj denied ever using cocaine. The “Pills n Potions” rapper did admit to taking other drugs, stating, “I don’t know if it’s just me, but I wouldn’t be embarrassed about any f###### drugs I did. That’s why I talk about the m############ drugs I do in my m############ music.”

Drake Wants To Drop “For All The Dogs” In Toronto, So Lil Tecca Can Have His Moment

By: Devon Jefferson Updated Category: Rumors
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

I’m not even going to cap you down like that, but I can see how listening to Lil Tecca’s Tec album could leave you speculating Drake didn’t want first-week sales smoke with him.

At the same time, the thought alone is absurd—and it’s not because the music isn’t fire or because Tecca isn’t at the top of his game. It really has nothing to do with Tecca alone at all, other than the fact that his career is nearly a decade shy of what Drizzy’s currently is. It’s literally a situation of 16 million to one versus 76 million to one in the case of monthly Spotify listeners for the pair—with the tally clearly falling in Drake’s favor.

Not to mention that For All The Dogs will be Drake’s third album within the last year, while TEC is Tecca’s first in nearly three. Furthermore, Doja Cat, who’s arguably the biggest pop star on the planet right now, dropped her album on Friday (September 22) too—so it’s not like Tecca would’ve been the only competition Drake’s team might’ve considered if they even did.

Realistically speaking, though, there are three fairly blatant and finite explanations behind why the 6 God pushed his record back. The first actually intertwines with the second and is the fact that it makes sense he pushed the release back to October 6 when he will be descending upon Toronto for the homecoming show. And again, reason one is basically reason two because said homecoming show is a part of his massive It’s All A Blur Tour in support of he and 21 Savage’s Her Loss collab album. I keep telling folks, what sense does it make for this man to drop an album while he’s touring another?

Third and finally, there’s so much going on right now that I believe logistically it just didn’t make sense for Drake to forcefully execute a rollout while simultaneously juggling a tour, his apparent Houston real estate search and likely cease and desist letters from Halle Berry’s management team.

Blueface vowed to be nicer to Chrisean Rock in the wake of her letting their baby’s head dangle while she shopped at Walmart. The controversial rapper offered support to the mother of his newborn via social media on Friday (September 22).

“I know she going thru some an it’s not easy no hood harder then parent hood so I’m not gone be mean to her no more cuz her mental state determines how my son day goes,” Blueface wrote. “let’s just encourage her to be more accountable an responsible this time around come on rock we got this I’m here.”

Blueface appeared to react to Chrisean Rock’s parenting struggles in a September 21 post, saying he was “just as surprised as y’all.” The next day, he said his comment was not in reference to the viral clip of her mishandling their child.

Chrisean Rock addressed the Walmart video on Instagram. She called out Blueface and opened up about parenthood.

“I feel like instead of that lady recording me, she could’ve just helped me,” Chrisean Rock said. “I got a dog, two carts full of s### I need for my house. I’m calling my baby daddy. Is he helping? No. So, I don’t know why he’s chiming in either … Everything is just overwhelming. I’m still learning. I love my baby. He’s a good baby.”

Chrisean Rock gave birth to her baby boy on September 3. Blueface was not present for their child’s birth.

Blac Chyna Puts Pressure On Tyga By Serving His Mom In Child Support Battle

Blac Chyna dragged Tyga’s mother into the former couple’s child support case. According to court documents obtained by Radar Online, a process server delivered legal papers to Tyga’s mom Pasionaye Nguyen in the Los Angeles area on September 1.

Earlier this year, Blac Chyna requested joint custody of her and Tyga’s 10-year-old son King Cairo. She sought child support from her ex in the petition.

The reality TV star, whose real name is Angela White, hired a process server to find Tyga. The process server went to Tyga’s West Hollywood home and gave the papers to the rapper’s mother.

For years, Blac Chyna seemed content with getting no child support from Tyga. He dismissed her bid for child support when reports of her efforts surfaced in August.

“10 years later…nah…stick to ur schedule sat-mon,” he wrote on social media.

Blac Chyna also said she doesn’t receive child support from Rob Kardashian, the father of her daughter Dream. She complained about the lack of child support from Tyga and Kardashian in 2022. Tyga scoffed at her need for money at the time.

“I pay 40k a year for my son school & he lives w me mon- sat,” he wrote in response. “Why would I pay child support lol.”

Blac Chyna awaits Tyga’s legal response to her petition. The amount of money she’s seeking has not been disclosed.

Kathy Griffin Believes Kanye West Abuses His Wife

Comedian Kathy Griffin believes Kanye West is physically and psychologically abusing his wife Bianca Censori because her gut likens him to her abusive brother.

She took to TikTok on Thursday, September 21, to share her theory.

@kathygriffin

Trigger warning! I discuss possible abuse in this video. I can’t help it. I worry. I don’t even know this woman but I still worry. #KathyGriffin

“This is going to be bad. I actually think that he may be physically abusing her and at the very least 100% I think he’s psychologically abusing her,” she said. “Now let me tell you why… I’ve talked about my dead brother Ken on this app, who was a physically abusive man toward actually his wife and his girlfriend (both told me).”

Adding, “One time his wife told me about a time that he had physically abused her when she was out of the shower he locked her outside their apartment and she was totally naked because he wanted to humiliate her in that way.”

The red-head woman, who earns her living off of clowning others, said she knows her statements are going to get her in trouble with the “bros,” but she still needed to share her feelings— hoping it could help Censori, who she believes is being forced by Ye to wear revealing clothing that shows off her “banging body.”

“We’ve all seen those photos of Kanye and his new wife Bianca Censori, right?” she asked. “I see those photos when she is in those pantyhose and like not even a bandeau top, it’s really all about being see-through.”

Twisting her face in concern or horror, the 62-year-old talks about the young woman not having a voice, saying, “We have not heard a peep out of her.”

“I’ve heard that she has a master’s degree in architecture from a university in Australia, she’s gorgeous and she seems to have no voice whatsoever,” she said.

She also mentioned the recent incident, covered by AllHipHop.com, where the two were caught having “sexy time” on a taxi boat in Venice in public.

“When they were in Italy and he had her drop to her knees and give him a ‘service’ and we saw his bare butt — knowing there were paparazzi photographers all the way around and people with just phone cameras — that to me just reeks of abuse,” she said, adding, “Like ‘get on your knees and do this now on a freaking water taxi.’”

Griffin did say that she didn’t know that woman at all, but is concerned.
