At least 22 shoplifters remain at large following a swarming run through a local Walmart in Memphis, Tenessee on Sunday (November 20th). They managed to get away with an assortment of expensive items.
According to reports, surveillance footage shows multiple cars pulling into the Walmart parking lot on Elvis Presley Blvd at 8:50 p.m.
Upon arrival, the armed suspects entered the store by breaking a window to the automotive entrance. Once inside, shoplifters made off with speakers, two flat-screen TVs, shop vacuums, car batteries, and two Black Panther toy scooters.
Loss prevention counted 22 suspects in 20 cars. They observed various Infinitis, Dodges, Chryslers, and Kia’s.
Shockingly, by the time police, the shoplifters fled the scene. No arrests have been at this time.
Meek Mill is not done! The Philadelphia rapper has proven that no matter how much of a beating he can take. He has not finished.
Last night he released his own version of DJ Khaled God did, and he cooked it! I listen to this about three or four times in a row last night. At first I was thinking that he was not going to do anything different. Meeks turned up style came back in full force, and I thought it was the same old thing. But I was wrong! Check it out and then will get to the rumors.
Towards the end of the song there is a moment where it appears that he is taking a shot at Kanye West.
“I will never sell my soul for money like I’m Kanye…”
Listen for it at about the 3-minute mark. Now, my first instinct was, “This is a shot.” Then, I said “No way does Meek take a shot at Kanye at this point in time.” Kanye appears to be down, but I don’t think he is. I think he’s up on the low. He’s tapping into dark forces now.
Anyway, what do. you think? We know that Meek is Team Jay-Z and that he and Ye are not cool anymore. But, I think this is mostly about Kanye and Meek. Meek has had a lot to say about Ye in the past.
“I used to listen to ye every night and jail for motivation on god! And came home and watched him s### on my name and brand like nothing …. I ain’t say nothing … but I been knew you was on that nerd tryna s### on street n***as you just said it to boosie. It hurts my heart to even know some of y’all this crazy and lame … ion need no verses from no n***as because I been hot since 13 @justinlaboy don’t invite me to none of them weird ass parties wit bro.”
“What you be doing for fame driving you crazy… look how hard you came at me n***as know I’m vocal it’s like you hate your own people. You ain’t even post @vory album after all that work he did for you and he look up to you … you made sure you said Jack Harlow was the hottest in Kentucky overlooked est and vory.”
So NOW…what do you think?
By the way, anybody know how to get Flamerz 5? Its not on streaming service.
Rapper Fat Trel, who said he was being mistreated by the legal system at the top of the year and reached out to Jay-Z and Kim Kardashian to help him, has been released from jail.
Trel took to social media to share videos of his release with his fans and is keeping his promise to get busy once he is out.
As reported by AllHipHop.com, in January, the rapper said he had spent three years in prison after being convicted of DWI and marijuana possession in 2016.
A judge gave him probation and allowed him to go free, but in December 2021, at his probation hearing, he was sentenced to another year and a half of incarceration by the judge.
Fighting for his life, Trel posted the following message on Instagram, “Anybody with a voice that can bring light to my situation, it would be greatly appreciated by my family and I. To my Fans i will be home soon I’m sorry this is Happening to y’all…”
When Fat Trel received the good news that he would be getting out days before Thanksgiving, he started to count down on IG, with all his 185K fans anxiously awaiting his return.
A video of his release was posted on Twitter. The artist, who is signed to Rick Ross’ Maybach Music Group, was dressed in his prison uniform with a kufi to symbolize his commitment to the Islamic faith.
At 9:16 am, he hopped on Twitter and typed the statement that his fans had been wanting to hear for years, “IM FINALLY FREE💯💯💯 LETS GET THIS SHOW ON THE MF ROAD.”

Chris Brown has been receiving Michael Jackson comparisons almost from the inception of his career. His scheduled tribute performance at the 2022 American Music Awards was arguably the show’s main attraction. Then suddenly it was canceled
Fans were outraged as Breezy shared rehearsal footage on Instagram from what could’ve been an incredible show.
Days after the awards have concluded we now have some idea as to why the performance was axed.
According to reports, Puck. News founder Matthew Belloni says when he learned of Breezy’s anticipated show, he immediately contacted higher-ups at ABC and their parent company Disney. He expressed concern saying, “the prospect of a convicted domestic abuser feting an alleged child molester on a Disney network.” Furthermore, reports say following the call, producers were instructed to scrap the tribute entirely.
Contrary to his half-hearted opinion Michael Jackson was never convicted of any crimes. He was acquitted of all charges on June 13, 2005. Not to mention ABC profited greatly from near-exclusive news coverage of his widely publicized trial.
Chris Brown has paid his debt to society for the crime he committed. At what point will he be genuinely forgiven?
Ultimately he was given an ultimatum, perform without the Michael Jackson tribute or not all. Judging by the effort displayed in his rehearsal, to do anything less than what he practiced would be disrespectful.
Ciara took to Instagram on November 21 to share her rehearsal footage for the axed performance. In her caption, she thanked the King of Pop for being an inspiring all while calling Breezy a rare breed of this generation.
Despite winning the award for Favorite Male R&B Artist, Chris didn’t attend the show. Kelly Rowland presented the award and once she revealed he won, she directed the audience to chill out. All things considered, Disney robbed the culture of an epic show.
Could the world see Marshall “Eminem” Mathers as a character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the future? The Hip Hop legend has already appeared on the cover of Marvel comic books.
This week, Eminem revealed a new The Amazing Spider-Man variant on his social media accounts. His fans will be able to purchase the artwork beginning today (November 12) at shop.eminem.com.
Marvel Entertainment officially confirmed the news of Eminem appearing with Spider-Man. Both Em and Marvel posted the variant cover to their respective verified Instagram pages.
Em’s manager, Paul Rosenberg, also posted about the Hip Hop/comic book crossover. Rosenberg wrote on Instagram, “When the folks at @hustl.agency approached us about a variant @spiderman cover [with] @eminem, we said duh. 🕷️🕸️🤘🏼.”
Amazing Spider-Man #1 originally dropped in April 2022. Zeb Wells is credited as the writer for that issue. Salvador Larroca and Edgar Delgado created the limited-edition Eminem variant cover.
Larocca previously worked with Mathers in 2009 for Marvel and XXL‘s Eminem and the Punisher mashup. Apparently, that Fred Van Lente-written collector’s item did not include any reprints or digital editions. Eminem and the Punisher now sells for $900 to $5,000 on eBay.
The artistic union between Marvel Comics and Hip Hop culture extends back several years. Back in 2015, Marvel released numerous Hip Hop variant covers that combined classic rap album imagery with iconic superheroes.
Cover art for memorable projects by Eminem, Rakim, Nas, Raekwon, OutKast, Lauryn Hill, DMX, 50 Cent, Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, and others got reimagined with Marvel characters such as Spider-Man, Deadpool, Wolverine, Iron Man, and more.
“Fancy” hitmaker Iggy Azalea is the latest music artist to sell ownership of her music.
News broke yesterday confirming Iggy Azalea finalized a deal with Domain Capital Group for a reported eight-figure sum. The sale is said to include Azalea’s master recordings and publishing catalog.
Iggy Azalea has released three studio LPs. Her debut album, the Platinum-certified The New Classic, peaked at #3 on the Billboard 200 chart. Azalea’s most recent project, 2021’s The End of an Era, failed to make it onto the Billboard 200.
As social media found out about the Australian rapper’s latest business move, users began sharing their opinions about the situation. Iggy Azalea responded to some of the people questioning her decision.
“I sold a portion of my catalog to who I wanted, for an amount that means I don’t have to work another day in my life,” tweeted Azalea. “I love y’all down but the masters conversation is a little beyond most of your understanding of business.”
Iggy Azalea Has Words For People Who Accused Of Her Not Writing Her Songs
When asked why she chose to sell her catalog now, Iggy Azalea responded, “I have a larger business I want to invest in.” In addition, the 32-year-old former Def Jam recording artist addressed the years-long “ghostwriter” rumors.
“Also didn’t I not write those songs? But wait – I just sold them for 8 figures? So I guess I did write them after all… Lmao. Like. Just be talking for years not knowing,” posted the Bad Dreams label founder.
Iggy Azalea’s discography includes the Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 singles “Fancy” featuring Charli XCX and “Black Widow” featuring Rita Ora. “Fancy” spent seven weeks atop the Hot 100 chart. The RIAA certified the 2014 track as 8x-Platinum in 2020.

YoungBoy Never Broke Again has built a very loyal fan base over the last five to seven years. However, the rapper born Kentrell DeSean Gaulden still has a legion of haters as well.
Some of those critics garnered a reaction from YoungBoy Never Broke Again on social media. The 23-year-old Louisiana native used his Instagram page to address anyone that took issue with his black-painted nails.
“Y’all been playing with the slime, huh? Y’all been playing with the slime,” said YoungBoy on Instagram Live. “See all y’all used to love me, but now don’t nobody love me, mama. But I think y’all forgot. I ain’t never like y’all b###### anyway. So what the problem is?”
The Last Slimeto album creator continued, “They want to talk about my nails. I done f##### them up now. Everybody wanna play with the slime. But it’s all good, you know I’m a big troll. As long as I ain’t no dead troll.”
As YoungBoy’s IG Live viewership rose from 37,000 users to 150,000 users in less than a minute, the southern rhymer again addressed coloring his fingernails. He said, “You can talk about my nails all you want, b####. I know somebody who wishes they could paint their nails right now.”
YoungBoy went on to say some people are hurting his feelings. Right before his viewership numbers hit 200,000 users, he ended that Instagram Live stream. YoungBoy closed out by saying, “Oh no, that’s too many people watching me. Bye.”
When it comes to his music career, YoungBoy Never Broke Again has released four #1 projects. The prolific recording artist dropped multiple full-length bodies of work in 2022. Ma’ I Got a Family arrived on October 21.
2022 has been a memorable year for Lucky Daye. The R&B performer’s Table for Two project won a Grammy Award for Best Progressive R&B Album in April.
However, Lucky Daye’s Grammy moment came with some controversy. According to reports, former College Hill Atlanta cast member Ashley Lasseter labeled Daye as a deadbeat dad for their daughter.
Those allegations by Lasseter came back to haunt Lucky Daye this week. The RCA recording artist decided to share his thoughts about women getting Brazilian butt lift surgery.
“If I get you a BBL, I’m putting an AirTag in it,” tweeted Daye on Monday morning around 4:30 am ET. Despite getting nearly 10,000 likes, many social media users began dragging the singer on the platform.
One person wrote, “[You] could put an AirTag on your kid’s bookbags but you’d have to actually see them, so.” Another user tweeted, “Lucky, I love you. But this is [a] wild thing to say especially when you can’t even locate your own kid 😭.”
Someone who seemed to be a fan of Lucky Daye admitted the BBL comments were indefensible in his or her eyes. The Twitter user posted, “Sometimes I just wish my faves would just hush.😭😭 [I] can’t even save you.”
Last month, Atlanta-bred rapper Lil Baby caught some heat online after suggesting the BBL craze is beginning to become played out. Baby said, “It’s like everybody got it now. You know how it is. When everybody got something, it kinda goes out of style then.”
As for Lucky Daye, the “Karma” vocalist showed up at the 2022 American Music Awards ceremony on Sunday. He lost in the Favorite Male R&B Artist category to Chris Brown. 2022 also saw Daye make guest appearances on Megan Thee Stallion’s Traumazine and Ari Lennox’s Age/Sex/Location.
could put an AirTag on your kid's bookbags but you'd have to actually see them, so…
Lady Leshurr appeared in court on Monday (Nov. 21) to deny assaulting her ex-partner, Sidnee Hussein.
The Birmingham, U.K., rapper made her music industry breakthrough with her “Queen’s Speech” freestyle series. She is accused of assaulting her ex earlier last month following an early-hours dispute. Cops arrested Lady Leshurr before charging her with two counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
A Metropolitan Police spokesperson confirmed that they charged Lady Leshurr, real name Melesha O’Garro, and another woman over the incident.
“The two women were charged after police were called at 05:08hrs on Saturday, 22 October to Knotts Green Mews, E10 following reports of a fight at the location. Two women – both aged 27 – were taken to hospital. They have since been discharged.”
During the hearing at Thames Magistrates Court, prosecutors argued Lady Leshurr assaulted her ex-girlfriend Sidnee Hussein and Chante Boyea at around 5 a.m.
Chante Boyea made the complaint, stating she gave the two women a lift after they flagged her down while she was driving to work. The pair began arguing and continued when they left the vehicle leading to a fight. The rapper allegedly assaulted her left hand during the altercation.
Boyea claims she called Hussein, who then intervened and was allegedly assaulted by the woman who was with Lady Leshurr. Sherelle Smith also pleaded not guilty to one count of assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
In addition, Prosecutor Ugochi Obiechina told the court Lady Leshurr also assaulted Hussein. Both women were released on bail and must return to court for trial on October 16 next year.
Meek Mill is sharing his insight into the music business, spilling the beans about how much money he’s made over the years and why he “lost trust” in the industry.
On Monday (Nov. 21), the Philly rapper held a Q&A session with his fans on Twitter. One fan enquired about the deluxe version of his latest album Expensive Pain, leading Meek to open up about how much music artists make in the streaming era.
“I let those albums go once I seen I was get 13. Cents to every dollar, once I really figured that out I ain’t promoting no label s### I don’t eat off …. My money come from my name and brand,” Meek Mill wrote.
Meek Mill Admits He’s Made $11 Million From “Music Payments” In A Decade
“I made 11million dollars in 10 years from music “just music payments” I was shocked mad and didn’t wanna really rap for any label …. Now I got a real point to prove to show you can survive without getting rapped!” he added.
#askmeek I made 11million dollars in 10 years from music “just music payments” I was shocked mad and didn’t wanna really rap for any label …. Now I got a real point to prove to show you can survive without getting rapped!
“On a bad month I make a m,” Meek Mill continued. “A lot of people let me down when I got educated about my own business … and it wasn’t like I’m not a learner … they mentally keep you faded from knowing…Don’t give me a plaque give me the financial paper of how much the song I recorded for 20k made 20 million … not a award … I’m from the trenches I don’t want that s### I want a estate … I want my whole family tree to beat the ghetto!”
Meek Mill has been railing against the music industry over the last couple of months. Last week, he announced hisFlamerz 5mixtape would not be available on any streaming platforms in a bid to exercise more financial control over his music.
During his Twitter Q&A, Meek Mill revealed he had concerns when he asked his label about the numbers on his 2018 collab with Drake, “Going Bad.”
“One day I asked how much ‘going bad’ made just that song…. They said 24m I was like how much did I make? All I got was uhhhhhhh lol im@like wtf I know all the financials to my other business lol I signed out lost all trust for that whole system!” Meek stated.

Latto is taking a reported leak of 130 of her unreleased tracks in her stride.
The “It’s Givin” hitmaker took to social media on Monday after trending on Twitter as dozens of her unpublished songs hit the net. However, rather than address the alleged leak directly, she capitalized on her trending status.
Latto shared a series of images and a video from her appearance at Sunday night’s American Music Awards. “Trending,” she wrote in the caption, alongside a sealed with a kiss emoji.
The Columbus, Ohio native began trending after 130 of her unreleased songs surfaced online and circulated on Twitter. Among the stash were several reference tracks, including Coi Leray’s “Blick Blick” and BIA’s “Whole Lotta Money.”
When fans began speculating about who wrote the songs, BIA had to clarify that Latto is not her ghostwriter.
“London jae wrote the hook I wrote the pre and verse,” she stated before adding, “it’s not rocket science.”
No London jae wrote the hook, I wrote the pre and verse it’s not rocket science
Latto recently had to ditch a number of songs due to a previous leak. However, all might not be lost. She shared a TikTok of herself twerking in a hot tub to one track.
“Y’all making me regret scrapping these songs 🥴” the “Big Energy” rapper wrote in the caption.
Cardi B is a fan of the song and recently revealed she can’t get it out of her head, urging Latto to release it officially, which could be a possibility, if Latto’s caption is anything to go by.
Meanwhile, rumors began spreading that Nicki Minaj and the Barbz are responsible for the leak after the recent online beef with Latto.
Last month, the NYC rapper accused Latto of using ghostwriters as the pair went back and forth in a feud that started over the Grammy nominations. “Who wanna hear the reference tracks?” she tweeted. Check out some of the reactions below.
Twitter Reacts To Latto Leak
That old woman is mad af latto is gonna get a Grammy before her… so she leaks her music to sabotage her.
SOO…latto shut down Nicki ONE good time & barbs so damn hurt by it, they leak all her Unreleased songs, & Nicki APPROVES OF that behavior? Somebody gotta give its getting old 🙄 pic.twitter.com/tmzYxHpYMs
The way Nicki deleted all her tweets and never spoke on Latto again the minute she threatened to leak those reference tracks pic.twitter.com/sEbLHypnk6
so basically: 1. latto is constantly working hard and recording songs 2. shes actually the one behind nicki's two recent female rap features 3. barbz are so obsessed with her that they've found the time to leak hundreds of her songs
August Alsina has seemingly come out as a member of the LGBTQ+ community following his highly publicized entanglement with Jada Pinkett Smith.
The “Shake The World” singer made the revelation during Monday night’s (Nov. 21) episode of VH1′s reboot of the celebrity reality show, The Surreal Life. He discussed finding love and dished on his new relationship as the credits rolled for the end of the show.
“Love showed up, but in a new way,” August Alsina admitted during a confessional. “I want to share that and honor the person that I love and that loves me back and teaching me so much about love and healing. I want to do that in front of the world because it defies the constructs that one would say love is supposed to be.”
August Alsina then introduced his new love, motioning to a man off-camera, ushering him to sit next to him. The new couple shared a sweet embrace as they exchanged “I love you”s. Check out the clip below.
August Alsina made headlines when he revealed his relationship with Jada Pinkett Smith, claiming that Will Smith permitted their affair. Then, Jada responded a few days later, appearing on her Red Table Talk show alongside her husband. She admitted to a relationship with August Alsina but said she and Will were separated at the time. She infamously referred to their relationship as an “entanglement.”
Meanwhile, August Alsina began trending with fans sharing their responses to his revelations on “The Surreal Life.” Check out some of the reactions below.
So y'all realize August Alsina didn't actually say he was gay or that dude was his bf right? It's giving intentional ambiguity for social discourse and higher viewership next week. pic.twitter.com/TB8yxSASJw

Kanye West skipped out on a deposition with Kim Kardashian’s attorneys as a trial approaches in their divorce.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, ‘Ye never appeared at a deposition scheduled for November 16. The deposition was rescheduled for November 29 due to his absence.
Kanye West and Kim Kardashian only have a few weeks left to reach a settlement in their divorce before it heads to trial. The former couple’s trial is scheduled to begin on December 14.
Earlier this year, a judge declared ‘Ye and Kim Kardashian to be legally single. The two are still battling over assets and custody of their children.
Kim Kardashian filed for divorce in February 2021. She married Kanye West in 2014. They share four children.
Kanye West’s divorce took a backseat to his controversial antics in recent months. Multiple brands severed ties with him after he went on several antisemitic rants.
‘Ye was banned from Twitter over his offensive marks, but Twitter’s new owner Elon Musk reinstated Kanye West on Sunday (November 20). The 45-year-old rapper/producer, who announced plans to run for president in 2024, made light of his hate speech in his return to the social media platform.
Houston Police Chief Troy Finner urged outside observers to have patience with the Takeoff murder investigation.
Finner claimed the case is “progressing” in an interview with Houston’s KPRC. He also appeared to downplay online speculation suggesting Takeoff’s murderer was already killed in retaliation.
“You remember on that day, I met with [Takeoff’s] mother,” Finner said. “I talked with that lady personally, made a promise and there’s a lot being said. We want all investigations on murders when people are being killed to move. But the main thing is we get it right. I do not want to send family members on a roller coaster ride and then we have to come back and say, ‘Whoa, that wasn’t the person.’ I want everyone to be patient and just understand there will be some justice here in Houston, Texas.”
Finner refused to reveal any specifics about the investigation, which hasn’t resulted in charges as of yet. But he expressed confidence in finding Takeoff’s killer.
“I don’t want to discuss any details on it, but I can tell you that we will find this person and we will identify the person or persons responsible for Takeoff’s death,” Finner asserted. “I don’t like talking too much while investigations are going on. I’m a person that says, ‘You know what, let people talk.’ But my talking is when we get that person and we put them in jail.”

According to multiplereports, Johnson’s bond was set at $300,000. He surrendered to police in connection to Young Dolph’s murder on Friday (November 18).
Johnson was charged with conspiracy to commit first-degree murder. He remains in custody along with three other suspects, who were denied bond.
Prosecutors say Johnson assisted in a scheme to murder Young Dolph. The 25-year-old suspect allegedly helped one of the shooters escape and aided another in receiving money for the hit.
Earlier this month, police arrested Hernandez Govan for his alleged role in Young Dolph’s death. Prosecutors accused him of soliciting Justin Johnson and Cornelius Smith to kill the Memphis-bred rapper.
Govan was charged with first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit first-degree murder. Prosecutors believed he started plotting Young Dolph’s murder in June 2021.
Justin Johnson and Smith were the alleged gunmen who killed Young Dolph in November 2021. They were charged with first-degree murder, criminal attempted first-degree murder, unlawful carrying and possession of a firearm, employment of a firearm with intent to commit a felony, and theft of property. The two each received an additional charge of conspiracy to commit first-degree murder following Govan’s arrest.
