Ice Spice has delivered a special treat, posting a juicy thirst trap for her devoted followers to tie them over as they wait for new music from the Bronx rapper.

Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, on Thursday (May 2), the "Munch" rapper posed in a mirror featuring the Guess Jeans logo, wearing nothing but a white T-shirt and a pair of boy-shorts, with all her best assets out on display.

"i'd be mad too fs," she captioned the photo.

Check it out below.

While Ice Spice is all-too-happy to show off her best features without prompting, her ex-best friend recently accused of cheating on her longtime boyfriend with Lil Tjay, among other things.

Singer Baby Storme took to X (formerly Twitter) with a series of posts in an attempt to expose the Bronx rapper on Saturday (April 27). Along with pictures and screenshots of texts, she pledged to expose the 24-year-old for being a fake friend and a bad person.

"this is Cleo," she wrote with a photo of Ice and a girl named Cleopatra. "the girl she chose to be her 'best friend to the public.' when in reality, it was me behind the scenes. Cleo & her are not really best friends. Isis has always hated Cleo. But she used her so she could appear 'closer to blackness.' she also lied about being Nigerian. she stole that from me."

In another post, she shared a long text she allegedly sent Ice, accusing her of being a fake friend since high school and only rekindling their friendship in recent years because Storme has a following in music.

Storme then shared a text that she claims was between her and the Bronx native to try and prove that the latter is also a colorist. In the chat, the "Munch" rapper is talking about how she has no sympathy for "dark skin" people who say they have to work harder because of her skin color.

Adding fatphobia to the allegations, she shared another text screenshot in which Ice seemingly refers to a person as "wide body."

In her final post, she said that the "Deli" hitmaker cheated on her longtime producer and boyfriend RIOTUSA with Lil Tjay at one point.

"EJ, 'Riot' is her producer and boyfriend since 2019," she wrote. "he was the real mastermind behind her career & the one who pushed her to rap. she cheated on him with Tjay & then rapped about it on their song together. if you don't believe me, just go back & read the lyrics to 'Gansta boo.'"

She continued: "but this time, read carefully. they were talking about him. she knows no loyalty. not even to the only person who has always been there for her. Riot.

Funkmaster Flex has picked a winner in the rap feud between Kendrick Lamar and Drake.

The legendary New York DJ appeared on Hot 97 to talk to Ebro Darden and surprisingly threw his weight behind the 6 God, despite their past issues.

"Drake is by far the winner for me. By far," Flex declared.

"That return shot was super," he added, referencing Drake's "Push Ups" diss song. "Listen, he wasted no bars in there, he wasted no time [...] It's an amazing comeback, it's an amazing return."

[Ed. Note: Flex's comments were made before the release of Kendrick's second Drake diss song "6:16 in LA."]

Flex's view echoes that of fellow New Yorkers Cam'ron and Ma$e who have also backed Drake in the beef.

The Harlem rappers turned sports personalities shared their thoughts on Kendrick's recent diss record "Euphoria" on the their show It Is What It Is, with both men claiming that Drizzy was winning the battle.

"Drake is definitely winning from an MC standpoint," Ma$e said, praising the Toronto native's own recent diss songs "Push Ups" and "Taylor Made Freestyle," despite the latter being taken down due to legal threats from 2Pac's estate over its use of AI voice technology.

"It took a while for us to get the record from Kendrick and when you wait a while it gotta be outta this world. I think if Kendrick dropped this record right after '[Push Ups] Drop and Give Me 50,' it would have been crazy."

Killa Cam added: "I think Drake is winning. 'Euphoria' didn't really move me. I'm expecting lyrics from Kendrick, you're expecting certain things. The song was kinda long, it took too long to come out - pause. I'm not saying it's bad."

His co-host interjected: "It was a good record [but] we didn't wait a while for a good record [...] It's like when you did 'Curtis' [Cam'ron's 50 Cent diss song], it's a certain thing you gotta have in the record that Kendrick doesn't have in his record.

"You gotta say something that make n-ggas look at the n-gga different. And when he did the, 'I don't want to hear you say n-gga,' that was an angle that we already heard before."

Drake has yet to officially respond to "Euphoria" and "6:16 in LA," but has teased that he has a rebuttal on the way outside of social media trolling

Slum Village have returned with an electrifying new album, F.U.N., their first in almost a decade.

The 12-track project was released on Friday (May 3) and includes collaborations with Robert Glasper, Cordae, Larry June and more.

While the group have become synonymous with a certain sound since their formation almost 30 years ago, F.U.N. finds them branching out into unexpected sonic territory - but one that shares musical DNA with their hometown of Detroit.

"We wanted to just try something new, so we focused on making Disco-inspired music," Young RJ explained in a press release, while T3 added that the recording process "began with collecting old Disco records."

Explaining the meaning behind the title, T3 said: "Slum is still here. We're still relevant and we're still trying to push the envelope. Sometimes people put too many rules on music, and without sounding cliche, we wanted to just have fun with [this album].

"So, in three words: Fuck U N-ggas."

Slum Village's first album since 2015's Yes!, F.U.N. can be streamed below.

While preparing to release their new album, RJ made a surprise revelation about a classic release from founding member, the late, great J Dilla.

In an interview with Shirley Ju, the Detroit native revealed that Dilla's beloved 2006 LP Donuts was inspired by Kanye West.

RJ remembered Dilla - who had left Slum Village a few years earlier but continued to occasionally produce for the group - coming down to the video shoot for the Kanye-produced "Selfish," where he was taunted by an associate over Ye's soulful beats.

"He shows up to the video and we sitting back there. A guy named Scrap Dirty like, 'Man, this your group and you gon' let Kanye come through and do this? He killing the soul shit!'" he recalled.

"Dilla's sitting in the stands like, 'Oh word? That's what you think?' He goes back... that's when you get all the stuff that you heard on Donuts, all the soul stuff. He was making his point that, 'I'm unfuckwittable.'"

In the same interview, RJ and T3 also revealed that Kanye charged the group $90,000 for his work on "Selfish" as "payback" against a record label executive who had passed over him when he was trying to land a deal.

"We walk in the studio and he's like, 'This is the joint.' Ain't no options. This the beat for y'all. We're like, 'Okay, we can work with this,'" RJ recalled.

After T3 revealed Ye's price tag, RJ said: "The only reason he charged that is because of a certain A&R that turned him down when he was looking for a record deal. He was getting payback.

Kendrick Lamar and Drake's feud was reignited over a rejected feature request - specifically, one of the latter's biggest hits of last year.

That's according to Akademiks, anyway, who claimed on "good authority" that the simmering tension between the Hp Hop heavyweights exploded in recent weeks after Kendrick turned down a guest spot on Drizzy's chart-topping "First Person Shooter" alongside J. Cole.

"I now have good authority to say that allegedly Drake hit up Kendrick and 'First Person Shooter' should have been a song with Drake, Cole and Kendrick," he said. "Now, if you think about this entire timeline and beef with that in mind, it makes sense."

The media personality then said that Cole's verse on the song ("Love when they argue the hardest MC/ Is it K. Dot? Is it Aubrey? Or me?/ We the big three like we started a league, but right now, I feel like Muhammad Ali") "upset" Kendrick, inspiring his blistering verse on Future and Metro Boomin's "Like That."

"He says, 'Man, these bum-ass n-ggas who couldn't get a feature from me are now acting like they're number one and number two. Fuck both of them!'" he continued. "That is what I am hearing."

Ak also claimed that lyrics on "First Person Shooter" were "reworked" after the Kendrick snub.

"If you listen to, allegedly, a part of especially Cole's verse, that verse was intended to be, 'Yo, I'm here with my brothers and we're the best! But I still feel like I'm the best, but we're the best.'" he said.

"If you listen to Cole's verse, you will hear what the original intention of the song was [...] Allegedly, Kendrick already told J. Cole that he was going to be on the record."

"From what I'm hearing, Kendrick got upset because, yes, he turned down the feature because he's got smoke with Drake, but once he heard them talking like it's just them two, he said, 'Alright, fuck it! My next verse, I'm about to say, 'Fuck the big three, it's just big me!''"

Akademiks did, however, clarify that "none of this is from Drake" and is pure speculation "based on what I've heard from very reputable sources that are connected to other people."

Plenty of others have also theorized that this was one of the reasons for Drake and Kendrick Lamar's beef exploding, especially due to a certain bar on the latter's recent diss song "Euphoria".

At one point, the former TDE titan raps: "Surprised you wanted that feature request/ You know that we got some shit to address."

Kendrick has since dropped a second diss track aimed at the 6 God called "6:16 in LA," which primarily finds him scrutinizing the loyalty of his inner circle.

"Conspiracies about cash, dawg, that's not even the leak/ Find the jewels like Kash Doll, I just need you to think/ Are you finally ready to play 'Have you ever?,' let's see/ Have you ever thought that OVO is working for me?" he raps over an Al Green sample.

"Fake bully, I hate bullies, you must be a terrible person/ Everyone inside your team is whispering that you deserve it/ Can't Toosie Slide up out of this one, it's just gonna resurface/ Every dog gotta have his day, now live in your purpose."

He later spits: "The Elohim, K. T. W. know you can't sleep/ These images trouble you, know the wires in your circle should puzzle you/ If you was street smart then you woulda caught that your entourage is only to hustle you."

"A hundred n-ggas that you got on salary and 20 of 'em want you as a casualty/ And one of them is actually next to you, and two of them is practically tied to your lifestyle/ Just don't got the audacity to tell you but let me tell you some game 'cause I can see you my little homie."

While Drake was quick to respond to the aforementioned "Euphoria" with a troll-worthy clip from the teen movie 10 Things I Hate About You, he has yet to address "6:16 in LA.

Mariah The Scientist has been arrested after being involved in a brawl inside an Atlanta nightclub that left a woman badly beaten.
Mariah, who is Young Thug's girlfriend, has been accused by a woman named Cleopatra Dues of assaulting her at Atlanta hotspot Cavo Kitchen and Cocktail Lounge on March 29.

According to the police report, which was obtained by TMZ, the singer (real name Mariah Buckles) grabbed Dues and ripped her wig off her head before dragging her around the bar, causing injuries to her legs.

The alleged incident was also captured on video by onlookers, but it is unclear if it is actually Mariah in the clip.

Dues, who is a rapper from Staten Island, has said she wants to pursue charges.

She told the police she did not know why she was attacked and had no prior interactions with Mariah, who was later booked on a battery charge before being bonded out the same day.

Mariah has yet to comment on the alleged incident.

The "Spread Thin" star recently claimed that she would be waiting for Young Thug even if he faces a lengthy prison bid if he is found guilty in his ongoing YSL RICO trial.

During an appearance on Angela Yee's Way Up With Angela Yee podcast, Mariah discussed how their relationship has stayed strong despite Thug being behind bars since May 2022.

"I think in the beginning I was so sensitive about it. I was so emotional, I was crying all the time," she said. "It was like, you can't be crying when you got a man in jail because it's going to make him sad. So you can't be acting like that."

She continued: "It's almost like jail solidified our relationship. I'm willing to wait it out because I feel like he's the one. If I didn't really see that in him, I probably wouldn't. In the beginning he was like, 'I don't know how long this is going to take so if you just want to go on.' And I was like, 'I'm not going to do that.' He's the one."

Earlier this year, an audio recording of the couple talking to each other over a jail phone leaked online and found Mariah thanking Thugger for gifting her jewelery while calling him "daddy."

Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign have disappointed fans again as Vultures 2 has failed to land on its expected release date.

Kanye said during his recent interview with Justin Laboy that his second collaborative project with Ty would be released on May 3, but the album has not yet hit streaming services.

After the midnight deadline came and went without Vultures 2, fans flocked to social media to express their disappointment, with one writing: "why I always believe every time he give us a date."

Others were already skeptical given the lack of a rollout and Kanye's history of delaying albums: "Are we gonna pretend to be surprised and disappointed again? He's been doing this same shit since Yandhi lol."

Someone else saw the funny side of it, joking: "he didn't say what year."

The Chicago rap icon initially revealed the May 3 release date in an Instagram DM to who he thought was Baby Keem.

When asked by the user about the status of Vultures 2, Ye responded: "We in the lab now with it. Gonna release in May. May 3rd. When can we go in. Should we do Praise God 2mrw."

After realizing he was actually messaging a fan account dedicated to the Melodic Blue rapper, he wrote: "Bro. I thought you were Keem."

Vultures 2 was originally supposed to drop on March 8, roughly a month after the release of the first installment in the trilogy. Kanye didn't offer an explanation for the delay beyond telling a fan account "we in the lab."

He previously hinted that the album would not be released on streaming platforms and would instead be sold directly to fans for $20.

Messaging a fan account on Instagram, he said: "We sell albums on Yeezy.com. I got 20 million instagram followers. When 5% of my followers buy an album [t]hat's 1 million albums sold[.] That's 300k more than the biggest album last year.

"We sold 1 million items on Yeezy.com on Super Bowl Sunday so we know it's possible. How do you feel about us not streaming and only selling the album digitally[?]"

He added: "When we do that we won't have the streaming companies in control of the artist anymore."

Kanye has released albums in unorthodox fashion before, making Donda 2 only available through his Stem Player device

Lil Durk's newfound Muslim faith has landed him in some hot water with some "real" Muslims thanks to his choice in jewelry.

Taking to his Instagram Stories on Thursday (May 2), the rapper revealed that he'd had a customized "Star of Islam" chain made to celebrate his beliefs.

Fans on Our Generation Music's Instagram post about the matter pointed out that wearing jewelry, especially if it's made of gold, is haram (that is, forbidden) for men - a fact confirmed by Qu'ran 9:34, which says, "And those who hoard gold and silver and spend it not in the way of God-give them tidings of a painful punishment."

Check it out below.

In April, Lil Durk put a call out for artists who want to help him put together an event, which he plans on hosting at the Bears' stadium.

"I'ma do a Smurkchella next year at the bears stadium in Chicago," he wrote. "it's gone be a stop the violence event and we gone split half the money with different non profits from big to small. I need help I need every artist who locked in with me to help save these kids."

He then tagged the non-profit organization he created and added: "@neighborhoodheroesfoundation will help put it together let's go this my way of giving back without saying it to look cool."

Lil Durk launched his Neighborhood Heroes non-profit organization in 2020 and has been steadily giving back to his community in the years that followed.

In 2022, they partnered with a non-profit named Chicago Votes to supply inmates and correctional facility workers at the Illinois Department of Correction with 29,000 bottles of hand sanitizer. The initiative was launched to combat the prison system's lack of access to clean water amid the COVID-19 outbreak.

"It's obvious, those locked up or working at a correctional facility are going to be at a higher risk of exposure to COVID-19," therapper said in a statement at the time. "At the end of the day, this disease ain't to be played with, and everyone should have the basic hygiene necessities to help prevent catching this virus. It only made sense for my foundation (Neighborhood Heroes) to collaborate with Chicago Votes and IDOC."

In 2023, the foundation organized a "Dinner with Durk" event in Chicago, giving 30 high school students the opportunity to dine with five mayoral candidates to give the city's youth a chance to talk about bettering their respective communities

Drake and Kendrick Lamar's rap beef made it to the sports world as "euphoria" was recently played in the background on TNT's Inside The NBA.

Airing on Wednesday (May 1), the show's roundtable of hosts were surprised to hear the Drake diss playing in the background - with Kenny Smith quickly noting that it looks like they're picking sides and he wants no parts.

"Why y'all putting us in the middle of the rap beef! Come on man!" he asked while laughing. "We in the middle of the rap beef! If you play one side, you gotta play the other."

It took Shaq a minute to recognize what was happening as he asked, "Is that 'euphoria' in the background?" But once he confirmed that was the case, he was excited about the bold choice by the show's DJ.

Charles Barkley was not here for it at all, however, shaking his head as he said, "Rap beef. Grown ass men," to which Shaq replied, "Mind your business."

Meanwhile, fellow host Ernie Johnson Jr. seemed to not even understand nor care about the conversation as he hilariously tried to continue talking basketball.

Over on another sports show, Cam'ron and Ma$e also recently discussed Kendrick Lamar's "euphoria" on It Is What It Is - and they weren't blown away by what they heard.

The Harlem rappers turned sports personalities shared their thoughts on the explosive track on the their show on Wednesday (May 1), with both men agreeing that the 6 God is winning the battle so far.

"Drake is definitely winning from an MC standpoint," Ma$e said, praising the Toronto native's own recent diss songs "Push Ups" and "Taylor Made Freestyle."

"It took a while for us to get the record from Kendrick and when you wait a while it gotta be outta this world. I think if Kendrick dropped this record right after '[Push Ups] Drop and Give Me 50,' it would have been crazy."

Cardi B and husband Offset have once again given off mixed signals about the nature of their relationship following a great deal of turbulence in their romance that ultimately lead to the two parting ways last year.
On Tuesday (April 30), both rappers were spotted sitting courtside at Game 5 of the New York Knicks vs. Philadelphia 76s Playoffs game in Madison Square Garden. The two even seemed cheerful as the giant screens hovering over the wooden floor broadcast them to the cheering crowd.

This, of course, isn't confirmation of the two reconciling, though it does point in that direction considering they have been spotted together before since their breakup in 2023.

Check out the fan-recorded clip of both superstars at the basketball match below:

Back in December, the "Bodak Yellow" hitmaker confirmed that she and Offset had broken up. The Bronx rap star made the bombshell revelation shortly after the Migos alum was accused of sleeping with Chrisean Rock by Blueface.

The Georgia native immediately shut down the allegation and even the mother of his children didn't believe the claims, though she did admit that she perceived it "as a sign" for her to move on.

"I've been single for a minute now," the 31-year-old said on social media. "I know today has been an eventful day. I don't pay mind to none of that. I don't care about none of that. I don't know if y'all been getting clues from me from my Lives, from my Stories, when I put certain music [up] or from my unfollowings.

"When it comes to today's events, I don't think it's true. I don't care to find out because I've been single for a minute now. I have been afraid to - not afraid - I just don't know how to tell the world. But I feel like today has been a sign."

She continued: "The last time I got on Live, I kinda wanted to tell you guys, but I didn't know how to tell you so I changed my mind. But it has been like this for a minute now.

"I want to start 2024 fresh, open. I'm curious for a new life, for a new beginning. And yeah, I'm excited! New look, new life, new everything [...] I've been going so hard for 2024 to go directly as I want it to. I feel like in 2017 I was single, and that's when I worked the hardest."

Less than a month later, Cardi admitted she slept with Offset on New Year's Eve because she "needed some dick" that night. Furthermore, the duo were spotted at the same restaurant in Miami Beach on Valentine's Day back in February

Young Guru has shared his thoughts on some of the Easter eggs in Kendrick Lamar's "Euphoria" diss aimed at Drake.

The famed mixing engineer and producer took to Instagram Stories on Wednesday (May 1) to break down some of K.Dot's subliminal references for younger fans who may not register the references.

He wrote: "I realize some of my young people and my students have never seen 'The Wiz.' If you came up in a Black household it was mandatory. The dance scene in Oz is incredible but it points out that pop culture is fake. The Wiz changes the colors and people just go along with it. Richard Pryor later admits that he is a fake and a phony."

He added: "Teddy Pendagrass [sic] got into a car accident and had to live the rest of his life paralyzed in a wheelchair."

The track, which arrived earlier this week, begins with a vocal snippet that sounds somewhat like gibberish, though when reversed, it's actually a clip from the 1978 film The Wiz.

The moment in question comes from Richard Pryor's character, Herman Smith/The Wiz, who says: "Everything they say about me is true. I'm a phony."

K.Dot took the internet by storm when he finally fired back at Drake on his blistering new diss song.

The track finds the Compton rapper unloading on his longtime rival for several minutes in response to Drizzy's own diss records "Push Ups" and "Taylor Made Freestyle."

After opening with a sample of Teddy Pendergrass' "You're My Latest, My Greatest Inspiration," over which K. Dot refers to a "pathetic master manipulator" who is "paranoid," "spiraling" and "fabricating stories on the family front," the song kicks into life with a sudden beat switch.

From there, Kendrick throws jab after jab - and even a few haymakers - at the 6 God, using everything from his parenting skills, alleged use of ghostwriters and rumored plastic surgery to his appearance, tough guy persona and attitude towards women as ammo.

The Pulitzer Prize winner also accuses Drizzy of sending a cease and desist letter in attempt to have "Like That," his chart-topping collaboration with Future and Metro Boomin that reignited their long-simmering feud, taken down
