21 Lil Harold and Rob49 make aggressive, steady, hip hop. They discuss gritty topics and they do so with an ominous, menacing flow. They compliment each other very well, and "Word on the Street" is a perfect testament to that. 21 Lil Harold's new single rides a simple yet hypnotic drum pattern. The rappers drop the sort of flexes you would expect, and the whole thing raps up in two and a half minutes. Nobody here is breaking the mold, and the song is all the better for it.

Harold is up first. He handles the chorus and the first verse, which contains some of the meanest bars. "Tuck your jewelry (Uh-huh) then take your life (Life)," he spits. "My young n**ga gun you down, you ain't movin' right (Right). I'm ridin' through the town all day and night. Opps scared to come outside, runnin' for their life (F*ck)." It's sharp, to the point, and it sounds great with 21 Lil Harold's delivery. The same can be said for Rob49's guest appearance. Rob manages to pack in a Lil Wayne reference and a Jeff Hardy reference into his 16 before passing it back to the lead artist. Press play, and they replay.

Drake had an eventful Tuesday. He went into 2025 as the most popular yet polarizing rapper in the world. One of the big reasons why was the legal petition he filed against UMG and Spotify. He claimed they had conspired to boost the streaming numbers of Kendrick Lamar's iconic diss, "Not Like Us." Fans were very curious to see whether Drake would prove to be the victor. Nobody expected it to come to such a mild conclusion, though. The petition was removed on January 14. And Drake took to Instagram to his usual flexing.

Drake decided to post two seemingly unrelated photos. The first was of fellow rapper Yung Lean, who was sitting front row at an NBA game. The second was a more classically "Drake-ish" photo. He posted up in front of a mirror and took a bathroom selfie. It wasn't quite duckface, but it was close. Drizzy didn't provide any caption for the Yung Lean photo. He did, however, provide a timely one for the selfie. Amidst all the drama between Jim Jones and Cam'ron, Drake decided to give a shout out to one of his favorite rap crews. "Dips forever," he wrote. He even wore an American flag jacket to emulate the crew's style in the 2000s.

Drake has long voiced his adoration for Dipset. He even named a 2018 song after their classic 2003 album, "Diplomatic Immunity." More recently, though, the 6 God took Cam'ron's side in a debate with journalist Elliot Wilson. Cam and It Is What It Is co-host Mase blasted Wilson via Instagram, and Drake decided to like the post. It doesn't take a lot of reading between the lines there. The most interesting aspect of the rapper's recent IG posts, however, is lack of reference to the lawsuit.

Drake did not address the fact that he met with UMG and Spotify shortly before recending his legal petition. He didn't mention that an agreement has been reached behind closed doors. Or that the legal petition will not "cost" either party. We are just as curious as you are to see where this all goes. Drake's next step is going to be a fascinating one.

Bambi Benson and Lil Scrappy have had a tumultuous romance. They were married, they have three kids together, and they co-star on Love and Hip Hop. They are perfectly suited to reality TV because they are often, seemingly, at each other's throat. January 14 was no different. A clip from the show surfaced, and Lil Scrappy caught absolute hell for referring to Bambi as his "baby mama." The statement was made in relation to another topic, but as soon as Bambi heard the term, she was angry.

"Don't refer to me as your baby mama," Bambi Benson asserted. Lil Scrappy seemed as though he knew he had made a mistake, and asked what his ex meant. He didn't have time to do much else, though. The rest of the table interjected and noted that Bambi is his ex-wife. Not simply the mother of his kids. "That is your ex-wife," a fellow cast member asserted. Lil Scrappy tried to explain that he was simply referring to the fact that Bambi is the mother of his kids, but the show cut to an aside. "You will never refer to me as your baby mama," Bambi Benson asserted. "Because you married me and I gave you three children."

Bambi and Lil Scrappy might be separated, but there has been long-standing confusion over their status as a romantic pairing. So much so, in fact, that they got on Instagram Live to address the confusion last summer. Both parties assured fans that they would remain on Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta and co-parent their children. They are on the same page when it comes to their kids, so regardless of the drama that'll surface elsewhere, they will have a baseline understanding. This may be why the "baby mama" comment left such a bad taste in the reality star's mouth.

Bambi Benson reflected on her marriage to Lil Scrappy during an appearance on the Small Doses pod. She claimed that she did a lot for him, and ultimately grew tired of their dynamic. "Our relationship was based on me coddling him in the beginning," she explained. "I didn't have any problem with none of that stuff, I never did. But when I started having kids, I have to take care of the kids and I have to take care of me, and also have to work."

Justin Bieber is a success story by any measure. He was one of the biggest child stars of all time. He remains, to this day, one of the best-selling singers of all time as well. Usher served as Bieber's mentor when he was breaking through, and the co-sign appeared to do wonders. The two men have remained friendly over the years. That said, something changed on January 14. Justin Bieber decided to make the very public decision to unfollow Usher on Instagram. This led to widespread speculation about the way these two actually feel about each other.

Justin Bieber's decision to distance himself from his mentor had a lot of fans confused. Some felt that it made sense, given that they were close over a decade ago. Bieber needed Usher's help to break big, and both benefited from their association. They have gone in different paths over the years. This talking point actually came up during a 2024 interview with Usher. The iconic singer was asked whether Justin Bieber had been asked to join him during the Super Bowl Halftime Show. Usher told the Breakfast Club that he indeed ask, but that Bieber politely declined.

"I think that it might've been the fact that he's just wanting to tell a different story right now, and I understand that," Usher stated. "But we did have a brief conversation, and we're gonna do something else in the future. But, no love lost or anything like that." The bit about love being lost rings a bit more hollow on the heels of Justin Bieber's unfollow. Other fans speculate that their growing distance has to do with the ongoing Diddy scandal. Diddy mentored Usher, and the latter introduced Bieber to Diddy. It has been widely alleged that the Bad Boy founder exposed both singers to unsavory acts at a young age.

Justin Bieber has not spoken on his experiences as a teen, but he has alluded to them. During a 2020 interview with Apple Music's Zane Lowe, Bieber expressed a desire to protect upcoming singers. "I'm going to be here for her," he asserted. "I don't want her to go through anything I went through. I don't wish that upon anybody." There's more to the story than the public knows. It remains to be see if it will ever come to light.

Beyonce fans have been on a rollercoaster of emotions over the last two weeks. They got to watch as Queen Bey destroyed the NFL Halftime Show stage on Christmas Day. The singer then teased that a big announcement was coming on February 14. Unfortunately, tragedy intervened. California wildfires spread and Beyonce decided to postpone the announcement as a result. Once Tuesday came around, though, a few fans began to spot concert notifications on their phones. Now, there's a theory that Bey is planning a show in Chicago.

A Beyhive contributor named Lori Goodwin claimed that the announcement is a concert. She claimed she signed up for a site that provided local updates on user's favorite artists. The announcement was pushed back, but Goodwin theorizes that the site forgot to turn off notifications after the delay." They [must've] had this scheduled and didn't turn it off," she wrote. Lori Goodwin went on to speculate that the show in the Windy City will likely be connected to a tour. "Since it's Soldier Field it will be a tour," she explained. "Because it's a stadium!."

Goodwin wasn't the only one who claims to have received this notification. Other Beyonce fans flocked to social media to confirm they got something similar. Some lamented the delay due to the wildfires, and others were thankful they had more time to purchase tickets. Beyonce has not addressed the rumor that she is going on tour. There has, however, been lots of anticipation for her to go on the road with her new album, Cowboy Carter. The aforementioned Christmas Day show was the first time Beyonce played a lot of the album's songs live. Fans want more.

This desire was built into the design of the album. Beyonce took to Instagram after the album's release to confirm that she wants it connect throughout the world. "It feels good," the legendary singer explained. "To see how music can unite so many people around the world, while also amplifying the voices of some of the people who have dedicated so much of their lives educating on our musical history." Beyonce will hopefully treat her fans to a tour sooner than later. In the meantime, she's raising money for families who have been displaced by the California wildfires.

Drake has been scorned by most of the hip hop world for taking legal action against UMG and Spotify. The rapper filed a legal petition against the massive companies for allegedly "inflating" the numbers for Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us" diss. Drake claimed that UMG and Spotify conspired to make sure that the song topped the charts. The speculation has continued to be rampant, with regard to whether the 6 God had a case, or if he would be forced to go to court. Well, the legal saga came to a close on Tuesday.

Drake withdrew the petition against UMG and Spotify on January 14. The rapper and his legal team sat down with the companies earlier in the day. The petition was withdraw in the state of New York, and it's been stated that there will not be "costs to any party" as a result. It's important to note, however, that the rapper filed a petition in both New York and Texas. The Texas petition is still active, and wasn't addressed by Drake's legal team. Not yet, at least. Drake's decision to withdraw the petition has surprised many and let to speculation as to why.

Some social media users theorize that the rapper did not have as much evidence as he initially posed. Others, however, speculate that he did, and UMG and Spotify reached an agreement to save face. It has not been revealed what the true nature of the agreement was. It is surprising to see the legal proceeding come to an end so quickly. Drake made it seem as though he was not willing to back down against UMG and Spotify as recently as December. Spotify issued a statement refuting all the claims the rapper made against them.

"The predicate of Petitioner's entire request for discovery from Spotify is false," the company stated. "Spotify and UMG have never had any such arrangement." Drake's legal quickly responded. They made it clear that they predicted Spotify's reaction and doubled down on their allegations. "It is not surprising that Spotify is trying to distance themselves from UMG's allegedly manipulative practices," they wrote. "If Spotify and UMG have nothing to hide then they should be perfectly fine complying with this basic discovery request." Hopefully more details come to light.

Vince Staples is going to speak his mind. He's one of the most blunt rappers of his generation, both on and off the microphone. It's what makes him such a consistently engaging (and oftentimes darkly funny) presence in the genre. Vince Staples' Twitter was no laughing matter on Monday, however. The rapper got on the app and detailed an interaction he had with California developers. Staples claims that he was given the opportunity to purchase his land amidst the devastation of the wildfires. He was not amused.

"White devil offered a [million] cash for the land," Vince Staples tweeted out. "He must've thought I was one of them other n**gas." He did not appreciate the fact that developers were trying to take advantage of a situation that has killed several Angelinos and displaced hundreds of others. "Whole neighborhood burnt down but we still thuggin," he added in a separate tweet. Vince Staples also took steps to help the people who had been displaced. "Long Beach is making a pledge," he said. "To the California Community Foundation. Anything helps!."

Staples is a particularly fascinating figure in terms of rappers and their connections to the wildfires. The rapper is not only a proud Los Angeles native, but he predicted that insurance companies would do what they wound up doing to homeowners. Which is to say, cancel insurance shortly before the wildfires broke out. He discussed this concern during a 2024 stint on The Joe Budden Podcast. "California not insuring houses anymore," the rapper asserted. "Cause of climate change." Vince Staples went on to detail the ways in which climate change has impacted California.

"They're shifting those areas," he explained. "There's areas that have never had a wildfire that are now high fire zones. It's getting wicked. It was like $15,000. Everybody don't have [15 grand]." Joe Budden was surprised to hear this, and hinted at there being more to the story that they were aware of. "Yeah, there's another paragraph," the former rapper theorized. "We will find out next year." Sadly, Budden's words and Vince Staples' concerns proved to be prophetic.
