Cardi B Shuts Down Rumors Atlantic Records Rejected Her New Album & Reveals New Music Video On The W

Posted by itstheboombap — Sat, 14 Jun 2025 19:20 GMT

Cardi B clears up new rumors about her anticipated sophomore album in her latest Instagram Live. After turning her album in last week, Cardi B shut down rumors that her label, Atlantic Records, rejected the album. Unsure where the rumors came from, Cardi clears up all the misinformation and her relationship with Atlantic Records. "I don't know where the f*ck ya'll came from with the, 'Cardi turned in her album, and the label told her no, or Cardi is facing her karma," Cardi tells stream followers. "I'm actually facing the opposite. First of all, Atlantic Records... Y'all think I just turned in my album, and Atlantic Records just heard my album today. Well, not today... It was just one day I turned in my album, and Atlantic Records heard it. No" Cardi B would further explain to fans her label's involvement in the recording process to provide clarity. Wearing AI-designed sunglasses and a beard, she continued: "People from Atlantic Records, from A&Rs to execs to Vice Presidents, stuff like that, they pop up at my studio sessions like every two weeks... They pop up whenever they feel like it because they are the one who pays for the studio sessions. On top of that, I also share the studio with another big Atlantic artist. I'm not going to say who but its like they always pop up. So, if y'all think I just handed my album like here. Ya'll think this is the first time they hearing my material, y'all buggin. They know exactly what it is."

The song was previewed at a BET Awards 2025 event in Los Angeles. The fiery lyrics immediately sparked speculation that the song was aimed at her estranged husband, Offset, amid their ongoing split and public fallout. Fans were quick to interpret the song as a direct response to recent tensions with Offset, including reports of spousal support issues. Its sharp tone and emotional intensity fueled excitement for the album's direction. In a recent interview, Cardi said she's "100 percent confident" in the project and teased unexpected collaborations and a bolder sound. As chatter swirled, Cardi addressed the hype on Instagram Live. She clarified that while "Outside" ignited interest, it won't be released as a lead single. "At the end of the f*cking day ... one of my snippets was leaked from a song, and I don't even care much for the song, but everybody loves it," said Cardi B. "And that's one of the things my label wants. They want me to drop the song because they love the reaction of it. I mean... I might drop it, I might not, I don't know. When your label is excited for you to drop, whenever they want you to drop, that's always a great thing." Cardi's sophomore album's title remains unknown. She provided fans with an update for the album rollout while explaining "Outside." The clip concludes with Cardi B saying, "For some muthaf*cka out here. Some bum ass n***a talking about, 'Oh, she's facing karma..' Facing what karma? I'm about to do a music video in less than a week."

Swamp Izzo Teases Playboi Carti's "BABY BOI" By Sending Hilarious Fair Warning To Fans

Posted by itstheboombap — Sat, 14 Jun 2025 19:09 GMT

DJ Swamp Izzo is back at it again to feed Playboi Carti's raved (and delusional) fan base with another update on BABY BOI. For those who don't know, this is somewhat of a sequel to his most recent record, MUSIC. Of course, the latter put a four-year album drought to an end this March. Since the release of his third studio album, the Atlanta luminary has been hyping up this follow-up with constant tweets and snippets. Of course, who knows if it's actually coming soon, though. We were receiving empty promise after empty promise months ahead of MUSIC. But Swamp Izzo, who had a huge hand in said project, has made claims that BABY BOI is complete. "New music. He got over 50, 60 songs done. Completed to his liking? I couldn't say. But they're done. If I was still in that mixtape era, we'd have BABY BOI one through nine. 15 years ago, we were so heartfelt on them exclusives. We couldn't even sleep until we put it out before everybody," he said just a couple of months ago. Joining him in confirming that status of it was Playboi Carti's new girlfriend, Gio Ramos. "Yeah, BABY BOI is done. BABY BOI is done. It's completed. He keeps talking about it. It's done; it's on the way. He just keeps trying to make sure it drops at the right time, I guess."

"If you hated where I was at on [MUSIC] - gonna wanna k*ll me. I'm getting extra security." pic.twitter.com/CwWa7VwENY — Kurrco (@Kurrco) June 14, 2025 Now, as of yesterday, Swamp Izzo was caught in the studio by hip-hop insider Kurrco speaking with a lot excitement about this tape. "I'ma give you this much, this for the world," he began. "If you hated where I was at on [MUSIC] - gonna wanna kill me. I'm getting extra security." One of the complaints a fair number of people had with MUSIC was that they felt Izzo was too involved on the album. But he's sending a (hilarious) fair warning to those future listeners that he's going to be even more prevalent on BABY BOI. "I'ma be extra flamboyant, extra robust," he said with fervor. "I can't wait until it come out!" As of yet, we obviously have no release date available. But a couple of weeks ago, Playboi Carti got in on the album promotion by sharing photos from his night of performing for The Weeknd on the singer's tour stop in Chicago.

Cardi B Delivers Hopeful Update On Rumored Offset Diss Track "Outside"

Posted by itstheboombap — Sat, 14 Jun 2025 18:30 GMT

Fans have been anxiously awaiting Cardi B's sophomore album for years, and now, it looks like it's finally on the horizon. Recently, the femcee took to social media to provide her followers with a brief update on the project. She clapped back at haters speculating that her label rejected it, revealing that the label is actually pushing for the release of one of her recently leaked songs. "One of my snippets was leaked," she began, as captured by Live Bitez. "I don't even care much for the song, but like everybody loves it. And that's actually one of the things that my label wants, they want me to drop the song because they love the reaction [to] it." "I might drop it, I might not," Cardi added. "I don't know." A snippet of the song in question, "Outside," surfaced online late last month. In it, she takes several shots at an unnamed man. Fans speculate that Offset could have been her target, as things between the two of them have gotten tense in recent months, to say the least. Read More: WWE's Triple H Says Cardi B Is Super Excited About Hosting SummerSlam, Answers In-Ring Curiosity Cardi B "Outside" View this post on Instagram A post shared by Watch Live Bitez (@livebitez) In May, for example, Offset filed for spousal support, earning a fiery response from the Bronx rapper. "Yo, you such a f*cking p*ssy a** n****," she said on Twitter Spaces. "Word to my mother. I want you to die, but I want you to die f*cking slow, n**** ... When you die, n****, I want you to die slow in the bed. And when you die, n****, you gotta think of me." As the snippet of "Outside" made its rounds online, fans began to demand its release. Earlier this week, however, the odds weren't looking good. "I don't know if I really wanna put that song out, to be honest with you," she said on Instagram Live at the time. "And it's not because I'm doubting myself and this, this, and that. I'm really, really grateful for all the love. It was never the plan. I don't think I wanna put out a single to be honest with you. I just wanna put out my album all at the same time."

Doja Cat Sparks Viral Debate By Putting Fan On Blast Over Uncomfortable Interaction

Posted by itstheboombap — Sat, 14 Jun 2025 17:56 GMT

It goes without saying that celebrities have a right to personal space just like everyone else. Recently, however, some social media users accused Doja Cat of going too far in her quest to defend that right. Earlier this week, a video of the performer interacting with influencer and fan Pablo Tamayo surfaced online. In the video, he hugged her and took off his tank top from his pride clothing line to give to her. Yesterday, she took to X to share her take on the interaction. "I threw that musty a** shirt away btw," she began. "Bottom line is i'll smile at you but it doesn't mean I f*ck w you," Doja continued. "And don't touch me and man handle me when you don't even f*ckin know me. iykyk. i honestly think I need to stand up for myself in the moment sometimes. and he didn't even know my f*ckin name to be touching me and kissing me on my face like that is crazy." Read More: Doja Cat, Tems & J Balvin Headlining 2025 FIFA Club World Cup Final Halftime Show Doja Cat Fan Controversy View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk) Tomayo ended up seeing the tweets, which have since been deleted, and responding in a TikTok. "I would've never wanted to make her uncomfortable. I would've never filmed if she didn't say yes. That video that we filmed was after everything," he said in part. "I understand that she has to set her boundaries. She's a celebrity. I'm not. I will never understand that, so I value that... I appreciate and I get that." "I apologize if I did anything wrong at all," Tomayo added. "I know I didn't know her first. I never claimed to be the biggest fan ever. I just respect her a lot for her work." The ordeal has earned mixed reactions from social media users. While some are slamming Doja Cat for what they see as an unnecessarily mean tweet about a supporter, others are defending her right to speak up for herself. "I feel bad for him she didn't need to roast him like that," one Instagram users writes in The Neighborhood Talk's comments section. "He definitely did too much," someone else claims.

Drake Seemingly Questions Kendrick Lamar Fans For Crip Walking At Toronto Show

Posted by itstheboombap — Sat, 14 Jun 2025 17:43 GMT

Kendrick Lamar fans were having an absolute blast the rapper's show in Toronto earlier this week. From asking for an encore performance of "Not Like Us" to taking over New Ho King, they were making their presence felt in Drake's hometown. Thanks to a clip captured by DJ Akademiks, they were even doing their best Crip Walk while the lawsuit-inducing diss track blared throughout the Rogers Centre. But their attempts at recreating the iconic West Coast dance were met with skepticism and laughs. That's especially true when it comes to Akademiks, who captioned said post, "lol... which part of Toronto these mans from." This even got Drake to pop out and like the post. It appears he also thinks their dancing seemed misplaced. View this post on Instagram A post shared by DJ Akademiks (@akademiks) Of course, though, this led commenters to share their thoughts. Some were just having a good laugh at watching the concertgoers try to replicate the dance. However, a lot more were discussing Lamar's dominance and Drake's interaction. "I love Drake and how he liked the post, always been comical to him... I'm sure lol [laughing emoji]," one person writes. Another goes, "Drake liking the post to try to show us yet again he isn't bothered which ironically shows us.... he's bothered [two laughing emojis]."

"KDOT standing on drake body fr," another similarly adds. Overall, this two-night stay for Lamar was fascinating, and we assume many hoped it would. The out-of-towner first performed in Toronto on Thursday, June 12. He followed it up with one more show on Friday, June 13. Things will get back underway for him in Hershey, Pennsylvania on Monday, June 16. But as for the whole Akademiks and Drake angle, this was a continuation of their interactions from the time Lamar stepped foot in the 6ix. The hip-hop pundit alleged that he had spoken with The Boy and he allegedly told him that he should've went to his rival's show. However, Drake allegedly replied, "'Yo, Ak, they've had two cars on my block since two days ago. Since they know this n****'s coming here.'" This suggested that police cars were outside of The Embassy; however, that was never confirmed.

India Love Clarifies Her Relationship With DDG Amid Romance Rumors

Posted by itstheboombap — Sat, 14 Jun 2025 16:59 GMT

Rumors that DDG and India Love are more than friends have been running rampant ever since Kai Cenat's Streamer University event. Recently, however, she decided to set the record straight. During a stream with Adin Ross this week, the model discussed going on a date with DDG. This prompted Ross to question why she's interested in him. "He's just my friend," she clarified, as captured by Live Bitez. Her remarks come just a few days after she went viral for dancing on DDG at a pool party, which only fueled speculation about their relationship. It also earned her a great deal of hate. Fortunately, it doesn't look like India let it get to her. "I don't let it shake me up because they hated Jesus for one," she told supporters amid the backlash. "For two, they gon' hate whether I do all the best sh*t in the world- y'all still going to find something negative to say." Read More: India Love Compares Herself To Jesus While Responding To Backlash For Dancing On DDG DDG Halle Bailey Restraining Order View this post on Instagram A post shared by Watch Live Bitez (@livebitez) As for DDG, relationship rumors are far from the only thing he has to worry about these days. He's currently wrapped up in a custody battle with the mother of his child, Halle Bailey. In May, she was granted a temporary restraining order against him after alleging that he violently attacked her. This month, he requested his own restraining order against the Little Mermaid actress, and tried to prevent her from traveling abroad with their son. He was reportedly granted the restraining order, but Bailey still has temporary sole custody of their child. While the situation has only grown more serious in recent weeks, DDG appears to have had at least a slight change of heart. During a stream yesterday, he issued a heartfelt apology to Bailey for mistakes he made in the past. "I want to come on here and genuinely apologize for that time," he said. "I was young. You know, it was just, I was just on an internet high. We had, like, past situations. We had, like, little s**t. Because I done said some hoe s**t. And y'all know the whole little situation. The s**t that I continue to do. It's a very, very touchy subject." Read More: Who Is India Love?

Latto Reignites 21 Savage Dating Rumors With Her Verse On New Nemzzz Track

Posted by itstheboombap — Sat, 14 Jun 2025 16:19 GMT

Latto has indirectly (or maybe directly?) stirred the pot once again when it comes to her love life. This past weekend Latto hopped on a new track by UK rapper Nemzzz called "ART." The braggadocious trap banger finds both star acts flexing their lifestyles, wealth, and more. The Ohio born femcee has a fun verse on the short single produced by Tay Keith and Boi-1da as she incorporates Nemzzz's native slang. She uses it to show how men in another country also find her attractive. "Knew h was from UK when he got behind m stabbin' it, aha / [..] / In the A, they call me fine sh*t, but the mandem say I'm leng (Okay)." It's that first line that fans are losing their minds over as some feel this is another hint that 21 Savage is her boo. Remember, we learned that the Slaughter Gang was born in England back in 2019 after ICE arrested him for living in the states illegally. But the Jasmine Brand raised this question yet again with their post about Latto's verse. At this point, the internet is kind of fed up with this headline. However, if they are indeed a pair, then folks are happy for them. For example, one IG user writes, "I need this to stop bein a headline... they playin wit it and it's old, I don't even care if they together anymore, if they happy I love it but chile please move on [laughing emoji]." Read More: Kendrick Lamar "Grand National" Tour: Every Record He Broke Latto & 21 Savage View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Jasmine Brand (@the.jasmine.brand) Others are a bit more apathetic, though. "Anyway, what's yall have for dinner? [unamused face emoji]." Another adds, "That's their business [shrugging emoji]." Overall, this rumor has been floating around for a while and nothing has ever been confirmed. But still, it manages to get perpetuated. As a matter of fact, fellow Atlanta rapper Young Thug allegedly got in on the gossip last month. He allegedly reposted a video breaking down how Latto and 21 Savage are connected. For example, the clip went into detail about how the latter had purportedly been gaining weight as a result of the femcee's cooking. It also touched on their apparent tattoos of each other's real names behind their ears. Overall, as long as either the believers or non-believers propel their theories, this rumor will continue to find its way into the news.

Young Thug Jokes About Retiring From Rap To Become A Streamer

Posted by itstheboombap — Sat, 14 Jun 2025 16:09 GMT

During a recent Kick stream with Adin Ross, Young Thug joked that he might be due for a career pivot after hearing how much the internet personality earns. "I'ma stop doing music and start streaming. I think I'm gonna stop. I'm telling ya, I'm done rapping and gonna start streaming," he told Ross, as captured by Kurrco. "Y'all live a cool life. Y'all go everywhere everyday. Y'all got cats wondering around this bitch. Y'all got all types of crazy stuff." Ross encouraged Young Thug to stick to rapping out of fear that he would take the blame if he retired. He even tried to get him to reveal the release date of his upcoming album, UY SCUTI. Sadly, he was unsuccessful. This doesn't necessarily come as a surprise, as he's been pretty secretive about the release date so far. During a GQ couple's interview with Mariah the Scientist earlier this month, for example, she asked when fans can expect to hear the project. "June 37th," he responded. "June 37th, be ready."

pic.twitter.com/FPglpkb8w7 — Kurrco (@Kurrco) June 13, 2025 Of course, this led to a great deal of speculation about when the album will actually drop. While some fans assume his comment means it'll be released sometime this month, others suspect they won't hear it until July. Either way, excitement for the project only continues to grow, especially after Young Thug recently took an unconventional approach to promoting it. A few weeks back, videos of fans opening mysterious black boxes they received began to pop up online. In the boxes were small glass containers containing live tarantulas. "Take care of me until we reach UY SCUTI," a message on the base of the containers read. While details of UY SCUTI remain murky, supporters did recently get a taste of what's to come with a new song snippet featuring Future. In May, a snippet featuring Playboi Carti and Lil Baby also surfaced online amid anticipation for all three artists' upcoming projects.

M.I.A. Is Trying To Keep Herself "SAFE" From All Evil On Her New Single

Posted by itstheboombap — Sat, 14 Jun 2025 16:00 GMT

Maybe the UK's most diverse and unpredictable artist ever, M.I.A., has come back with a new record, "SAFE." The West London rapper and producer is doing her best to fend off the dangers of the world that are out to harm her peace. How's she going about it is with her new best friend, Jesus. Not too long ago, M.I.A. converted to the largest religion in the world. Because of her revised perspective on life being so fresh, she's decided to implement her faith into this single. It's a mixture of Christian hip-hop and trap with the production featuring child choir background vocals. They are unsettling, but they potentially represent the demons that are chasing after M.I.A. "Demons try to show up when I try to get a glow up," she raps on the opening verse. She also talks about all of the changes she's made outside of introducing this new philosophy. "I hop up off the corner burner, gone are days a sinner win / Every time I burn a demon, running on adrenaline / I hop up off the corner, I was mixing with some weak h*es." But despite the fact that she is happy with her life now, M.I.A. does give credit to her past for shaping her. "Grateful, not regretful, thank you, not a great fool / Thankful to my haters when I say, 'Hashu"." Check out the new track below.

Suge Knight Now Believes That Diddy Belongs In Prison For Assaulting Cassie

Posted by itstheboombap — Sat, 14 Jun 2025 15:39 GMT

Just a couple of weeks ago, longtime rival of Diddy, Suge Knight, was campaigning for the Bad Boy founder's acquittal. It was quite a shocking thing to hear due to said animosity. Moreover, there just aren't that many people that believe the mogul is innocent. But Suge Knight did feel like Diddy got an unfair draw. "I say this all the time, Puffy and I are not friends. But Puffy should definitely walk. There were other executives involved in Puffy's life and for Puffy to be the only guy that gets on the stand is a sad day for hip-hop." The former Death Row Records CEO continued, "I don't think this is a case where Puffy should be going to prison. How could every person who's involved with Puffy not [be] on the stand except for Puffy? At some point, the law got to be blind. We just can't jump to conclusions and say, 'Throw Puffy under the bus.' Like I said, him and I are not friends, but Puffy definitely should walk. What's right is right, wrong is wrong."

Famu Gillum Rally 110518 Ts 004 Tori Schneider/Tallahassee Democrat via Imagn Images But Suge Knight has changed tune, and it stems from the harrowing allegations from Cassie as well as the infamous hotel video. In a recent string of prison calls with PEOPLE, as caught by Complex, he said that Diddy "does deserve" a conviction. He explains, "I never said he should walk away a free man. He does deserve [prison]. I don't mean like... 'Oh, you beat the sh*t out of Cassie, so, oh well.' No, she's a woman. You should never disrespect a woman like that. What I am saying is how do we fix this? I think everyone should be held accountable - even myself. I don't care who it is. Anybody who does those horrible things to women deserves their issue." Suge then touched on the aforementioned beatdown that was caught on tape in 2016. "I had never really seen a woman get dragged, beaten and disrespected like that before [...] When he came around that corner, Puff did beat the dog sh*t out of her." Overall, he believes Diddy's actions are "unacceptable" and he ended with some advice for his sworn enemy. "You know how big that would be if he told the truth? At the end of the day - this trial -everybody's watching. Why not make this a healing process. So, if I can man up... Puffy, don't be a b*tch, my n****. Go in there and man up." Diddy's federal trial has been going on for just over three weeks with a former assistant being one of the most recent testifiers.

Dave Blunts Slams 50 Cent For Trolling Kanye West After Diddy Trial Appearance

Posted by itstheboombap — Sat, 14 Jun 2025 15:02 GMT

Earlier this week, Diddy's federal trial took an interesting turn when one of his celebrity peers showed up to support him. This, of course, was Kanye West. The Yeezy founder has been vocal about backing the mogul amid his legal battle, frequently advocating for his release on social media. He only stayed in the courtroom for around 30 minutes, but his appearance led to big reactions online. 50 Cent, for example, rushed to Instagram to poke fun at the debacle. "We are wearing white in honor of the freak offs," he captioned an AI-generated image of himself in a white suit. "Damn Ye you should have brought your dirty little wife with that Grammys outfit! @50centaction." His post earned a response from Dave Blunts, the man behind Ye's upcoming album Cuck, formerly known as WW3. Blunts appeared to make some bold allegations about the mother of Fif's youngest son, Daphne Joy. "@50cent your bm was getting pooped and peed on hold this L and stop riding dck," he wrote, as captured by No Jumper.

(@nojumper) For now, 50 Cent has not publicly responded to Blunts' latest remarks. This was far from the first time he went after Ye, however. Earlier this year, the Chicago-born artist admitted to performing fellatio on his cousin as a child on his song "COUSINS." Unsurprisingly, Fif had a lot to say about this. "I woke up this morning thinking, you can't suck your cousins d**k for 6 years and not be gay.

," he wrote on Instagram. "Somebody has to tell Kanye I'm not gonna tell him nope it's not my job." The month prior, Ye tweeted that he wishes he was friend with Fif. "I wish I was friends with 50," he wrote. "One of my favorite rappers and people. It's just certain people. 50, Drake, Demna. They all are they own kings in there own kingdoms. But somewhere inside of a trip to nitrous town everybody is laughing and creating together."

Tory Lanez's Team Claims That He Will Be Freed "Later This Year"

Posted by itstheboombap — Sat, 14 Jun 2025 14:41 GMT

Tory Lanez's team is making a strong claim that their Brampton client will be a free man and soon. Per a clip from the We In Miami podcast, caught by the Jasmine Brand, one the rapper's reps claims he will be out prison "later this year." She dropped this bombshell after being asked if she could give any updates that the general public isn't aware of. "For who I am and what I know and the system that I am involved in, Tory Lanez will be freed this year. I just want you to know that," she stated while looking directly into her camera. The lady was then asked if it would be this summer. She replied, "It will be soon," while adding, "Haters are gonna hate but it doesn't matter." Later into the conversation, the woman stated that she believes that the rapper is in fact innocent. Because of that, she claims she was the one who put together his legal team and was very "strategic" about who she selected. The reason being is because she wanted attorneys who understood California law, which is the state in which Lanez was convicted. Read More: Who Is India Love?

"This is not about Megan," she said while speaking on Tory's behalf. "Megan did not pursue those charges against Tory, the DAs Office did." According to her, Lanez "prays for her and so does his father." That alleged truth is different from what Megan Thee Stallion and her team believe to be the case. Recently, the femcee went off on "demon" Tory Lanez and his fans for constantly berating her online. "I'm sick of this sh*t LEAVE ME TF ALONE!!!! HE AINT DARE GET ON THAT STAND AND DENY HE SHOT ME AND THAT WAS HIS CHOICE BECAUSE HE KNOWS HE DID THAT SH*T! IDGAF ABT A BLOG OR A BOT!!! WHY IN TF WOULD ME... MEGAN THEE STALLION HAVE TO LIE ON THIS MF ABT SHOOTING ME! FACTS ARE FACTS, he did it, it was PROVEN IN COURT f*ck the hate campaign on the internet TORY YOU SHOT ME!!" she said in part. The Canadian's legal team has been claiming to have new evidence to free their client. However, as of the end of May, nothing has been filed.

Thirteendegrees Hops On An Energetic BNYX Beat For "PALACE"

Posted by itstheboombap — Sat, 14 Jun 2025 14:00 GMT

BNYX is continuing his streak of working with rising stars all over the underground on this Thirteendegrees collab, "PALACE." This track belongs to the latter, who hails from the storied midwestern hip-hop hub, Chicago. He's been receiving nods from hip-hop outlets and Lyrical Lemonade's own, Cole Bennett. Fittingly, he will be performing at his brand's festival, Summer Smash very soon. He's known for blending the current sounds of trap with a 2000s to early 2010s aesthetic and that is what you're getting on "PALACE." It's a wildly energetic banger that's grand in scale with its blaring synths and hits of bells. We are hearing influences of Chief Keef and maybe some Jeezy. But honestly, he's got quite a distinct sound already despite being just a few years into his career. Thirteendegrees doesn't get lost in BNYX's bombastic beat though as his commanding delivery pieces through the intricate instrumentation. He's extremely confident throughout the track too. "Sh-sh-sh-shoutout to BNYX (Huh) / After this song, got fifty checks / Now it's easy to get titty, sex." He sounds like he was ready to eat this beat up for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and this quote from Thirteendegrees proves it. "BNYX sent me this beat about 3 months ago, so I know he was prolly wondering if I was actually gonna hop on it - but lol, art takes time! ... and we here now." BNYX was equally excited to work with him as he was quoted saying, "I named the beat file 13 degrees. Thirteen was the only vocal I could hear execute the vision I had for the song. He did exactly what I imagined he'd do."

Diddy's Team Raises Concerns About Diversity After Juror Gets Disqualified

Posted by itstheboombap — Sat, 14 Jun 2025 13:59 GMT

In September of last year, Diddy was arrested and hit with charges related to alleged sex trafficking and racketeering. If convicted, the mogul faces a maximum sentence of life in prison. Last month, his long-awaited federal trial finally began, and various individuals from his past have taken the stand so far. This includes Cassie, Dawn Richard, Kid Cudi, former assistants, and more. In court this week, tensions arose as prosecutors moved to have one juror removed from the trial. They accused the juror of being dishonest during the jury selection process. Allegedly, he said that he lived with his fianc e and daughter in the Bronx during the jury selection process, but later told the judge that he'd moved to New Jersey with his girlfriend. When questioned about this, he allegedly claimed to spend four or five days per week in New York. The prosecution cited an alleged "lack of candor," claiming they were "reluctant" to do so but felt "compelled." Now, AllHipHop reports that the judge sided with prosecutors. "There's no reason to lie unless you're trying to get onto the jury," he said, adding that the juror "should not return on Monday."

Robert Hanashiro / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Diddy's team was quick to push back, arguing that the juror's removal could compromise courtroom diversity. "There have been issues with the representation of African American and Hispanic jurors in this District," attorney Xavier Donaldson said. "We've taken a step with this jury; now we're taking a step backward." He added that he doesn't find the juror's living situation unusual, but the judge didn't budge. As for what else happened during Diddy's trial this week, one of his former assistants took the stand, along with Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent Andre LaMon. Kanye West also showed up to the courthouse yesterday to support the Bad Boy founder for just under 30 minutes.

King Yella Reportedly Arrested In Las Vegas On Unknown Charges

Posted by itstheboombap — Sat, 14 Jun 2025 13:37 GMT

Rapper King Yella has reportedly just run into some more legal trouble. Per a social media post by No Jumper, the Chicago native was arrested in Las Vegas. However, that's unfortunately all we can really say at this point. At the time of writing, the charges on King Yella are unknown. But he did speak out following the report over the phone with a friend. "The system done locked me down again," he said. "I'll be back man. I love all of my supporters and all of the real ones. I'll be home soon." He then goes on to say that "it could have been something else, but it is what it is. I love y'all man pray for me man." The drill MC concluded saying, "Free King Yella, free King Yella!" Hopefully, more information comes out sooner than later on his situation. But for now, all we can do is wait for updates. But this arrest follows a long line of past run-ins with the law. His most recent stint was three years behind bars, which concluded in 2021. Per VLAD TV, he was arrested in 2018, initially on charges of domestic battery by strangulation, coercion with force or threat of force, and child abuse or neglect.

(@nojumper) However, what actually got him locked up in the Southern Desert Correctional Center in Las Vegas was an attempted burglary charge. But even though things were looking good, Yella found himself in jail after breaking rules at a halfway house. Per the outlet, he was posting too much on social media. That news broke in late October 2021. But it hasn't just been legal problems that have mired the artist's career. He's also found himself in plenty of beefs with the likes of Cardi B, Lil Durk, and most recently, Skinnyfromthe9, an affiliate of Durk. That latter was pretty murky situation as Yella was allegedly upset with is former friend Skinny for being around someone who dissed him on a track. Skinny replied on social media, alleging that he could have hurt Yella as Durk allegedly instructed him to do. However, he chose not to.

DDG Issues Heartfelt Apology To Halle Bailey Amid Custody Battle

Posted by itstheboombap — Sat, 14 Jun 2025 13:12 GMT

It goes without saying that DDG and Halle Bailey have been through their fair share of ups and downs in recent months. Last October, the former couple announced that they were going their separate ways just a few months after welcoming their first child together, Halo. In May, the situation took a serious turn when the Little Mermaid actress requested a restraining order against the rapper-turned-streamer. She alleged that he violently attacked her while picking up their son in January, leaving her with bruises and a chipped tooth. The following month, he requested his own restraining order against Bailey, and filed an emergency motion to prevent her from traveling abroad with Halo. He alleged that the move would pose an "imminent emotional and psychological risk" to the child, accusing her of being mentally unfit to care for him.

She also fired back at his allegations about her mental wellbeing in a declaration, insisting that she's "100% available and capable as a parent." While all of this has undoubtedly put a strain on everyone involved, it looks like DDG has had a change of heart. During a recent stream, he issued a heartfelt apology to his ex, taking accountability for mistakes he made in the past. "I want to come on here and genuinely apologize for that time," he began, as captured by The Jasmine Brand. "I was young. You know, it was just, I was just on an internet high. We had, like, past situations. We had, like, little s**t. Because I done said some hoe s**t. And y'all know the whole little situation. The s**t that I continue to do. It's a very, very touchy subject." At the time of writing, Bailey has not publicly responded to DDG's apology.

This isn't Kobe's first time linked to the Air Force 1, but it might be one of the cleanest. Over the years, Bryant's Nike collaborations have pushed performance boundaries, but this one leans into legacy and lifestyle. The color, symbolism, and snake-like textures all feel intentional. AF1s are streetwear staples, and Kobe's influence takes this pair into a different lane. With "8" and "24" stitched on the heels and his logo stamped throughout, there's no mistaking the tribute. Judging by the early photos, this might be one of the most detailed Kobe releases to date. The faux snakeskin, the tonal branding, and the subtle use of textures all give this pair weight.

Alleged Antonio Brown Shooting Victim Reveals What Spearheaded Their Dispute

Posted by itstheboombap — Sat, 14 Jun 2025 12:49 GMT

As you all know, there are two sides to every story. So far, we have mostly only heard from Antonio Brown in regard to the shooting incident that occurred outside of an Adin Ross boxing event last month. But now, the alleged shooting victim, Z l-Qarnain Nantambu, is sharing what he claims is the truth. He did so with TMZ Sports as of Friday (June 13) and he alleges that he was actually the one who got jumped. The reason? Nantambu alleged that he made a remark to Antonio Brown inside the event about a legal debt. This alleged sum of money that the former NFL star owes stems from an incident in Dubai a few years back. Nantambu alleges that he and Brown were both in attendance for a Floyd Mayweather fight. While there, the latter allegedly stole some jewelry from him. That allegedly eventually led to a lawsuit which Nantambu won, and he was awarded a judgement. However, Antonio Brown still has to pay up, which is why Nantambu allegedly made that comment to him. After that is when chaos ensued outside of the event in Miami last month. Nantambu then began to describe what happened to him during the brawl. He alleges that Brown started to hit him first before a group of his friends tag teamed him. Because of this Nantambu alleged that he needed seven stitches just above his eye.

pic.twitter.com/8NAANsxyYi — FearBuck (@FearedBuck) May 17, 2025 Then, that's when Nantambu said that Brown allegedly fired shots at him, which he alleged grazed his neck. It has also been reported that witnesses identified the former wide receiver as the gunman. As we alluded to earlier, Antonio claimed that he was the one who was attacked just hours after the fight occurred. In a tweet he said, "Regarding the boxing event that happened last night. I was jumped by multiple individuals who tried to steal my jewelry and cause physical harm to me. Contrary to some video circulating, Police temporarily detained me until they received my side of the story and then released me." He then added, "I WENT HOME THAT NIGHT AND WAS NOT ARRESTED. I will be talking to my legal council and attorneys on pressing charges on the individuals that jumped me. I will keep you all posted step-by-step on the process. Thank you for the support and love #AB#84." However, he's now a wanted man in Miami-Dade County for felony attempted second-degree murder with a firearm. Once arrested, he will be given a $10,000 bond. Also, AB will be subjected to house arrest until trial.

Air Jordan 11 "Gamma Blue" Gears Up For Release

Posted by itstheboombap — Sat, 14 Jun 2025 12:20 GMT

The Air Jordan 11 "Gamma Blue" is officially making a comeback this December. First released in 2013, this colorway flipped the traditional Jordan 11 formula by leaning fully into blackout styling with sharp, bold accents. It was an instant hit, bringing something fresh to one of the most iconic silhouettes in sneaker history. The Jordan 11 debuted in 1995 during MJ's first full season back from retirement. Designed by Tinker Hatfield, it was the first basketball sneaker to feature patent leather on the upper. Jordan famously wore them during the Bulls' 72-10 season and while winning his fourth title. That legacy means any 11 release automatically carries weight, and the Gamma Blue colorway adds a more modern, street-ready vibe to the legacy. Retailing in full-family sizing, the Gamma Blue 11s are shaping up to be a major drop this holiday season. Official images haven't surfaced yet, but early looks like the one above preview the signature glossy black upper, bright blue Jumpman, and yellow 23 branding on the heel. Read More: This Air Jordan 1 Low "Turquoise" Stands Out Air Jordan 11 "Gamma Blue" View this post on Instagram A post shared by zSneakerHeadz (@zsneakerheadz) This version of the Air Jordan 11 features a black mesh upper paired with glossy patent leather mudguards. The midsole is dressed in all black, while an icy blue translucent outsole adds contrast. The Jumpman logo comes stitched in bright gamma blue on the ankle collar. Yellow detailing appears on the tongue and heel tab, including the number 23. A black leather heel wrap finishes off the look. Full-family sizing ensures everyone can grab a pair. @zsneakerheadz reports that the Air Jordan 11 "Gamma Blue" will be released on December 13th, 2025. Also, the retail price of the sneakers will be $230 when they drop.

Doe Boy Continues String Of Love Songs With Fetty Wap-Assisted Cut "Lil Sexy"

Posted by itstheboombap — Sat, 14 Jun 2025 12:00 GMT

Doe Boy has kept certain sonic direction going for his last three releases now as the streak continues with "Lil Sexy." Featuring 2015 hitmaker Fetty Wap, the song centers around wanting to foster a passionate and loving relationship. One way both artists are doing this is by showing them a great time in the bedroom. "Girl, I'm tryna show you what the sex be like (Skrrt) / Every time I see you, you be sexy, like (Skrrt)," Fetty Wap sings on the chorus. Featuring seductive guitar strings and steady melody, "Lil Sexy" is a contemporary R&B cut step for step. Overall, it's a summery vibe too as the instrumentation is delicate. Moreover, we can see this being a perfect track for Valentine's Day when it rolls around again next year. As we alluded to earlier though, this is third time in a row that Doe Boy has dropped a record in this fashion. His last offering, "Change," which pays homage to "My Whole Life Has Changed" by Ginuwine, focused on marriage. Then, before that was "HYPOCRITE." That found the Cleveland rapper in a relationship on the brink of ending and him venting about his partner's shortcomings. It's fairly safe to say that Doe Boy has an R&B album in the works as his next title suggests that as well. HEART ON MY SLEEVE is expected to drop sometime this year.

Why The Air Jordan 1 High "Shattered Backboard" Still Goes Hard

Posted by itstheboombap — Sat, 14 Jun 2025 11:43 GMT

The Air Jordan 1 High "Shattered Backboard" is set to make its return this summer, bringing back a fan-favorite colorway rooted in one of MJ's most memorable moments. The design nods to a 1985 exhibition game in Italy, where Jordan famously shattered the glass backboard with a dunk. Since its first release in 2015, this colorway has become one of the most sought-after in the Air Jordan lineup. With its premium leather construction and bold orange, black, and sail panels, the sneaker continues to channel both performance and storytelling. The Jordan 1 High was Michael Jordan's first signature shoe with Nike, debuting in 1985 and forever changing the sneaker world. It blended style, rebellion, and performance, getting banned by the NBA and celebrated by fans almost simultaneously. That legacy is what gives each release, especially colorways like this, such lasting impact. Further, the photos give a full look at the upcoming release. The tumbled leather looks soft and rich, with the orange toe box and heel contrasting cleanly against the black overlays and white base. Overall, it's a classic formula that still finds new ways to stand out.

A nylon tongue sports an orange Nike Air tag. Also, the iconic Wings logo appears in black on the ankle collar. Underfoot, a sail midsole and orange rubber outsole complete the look. Overall, classic materials, bold color blocking, and retro branding keep this release true to its roots.

This Air Jordan 1 Low "Turquoise" Stands Out

Posted by itstheboombap — Sat, 14 Jun 2025 11:10 GMT

The Air Jordan 1 Low "Turquoise" brings a fresh twist to the classic silhouette with pastel tones and gemstone accents. It's not just a colorway, it's a vibe. This pair softens the usual streetwear edge with a playful mix of cream, light blue, and soft pink, paired with studded turquoise jewels for a touch of flair. Originally released in 1985, the Air Jordan 1 was Michael Jordan's first signature sneaker and has since become one of the most iconic shoes in sneaker history. The low-top version offers a more casual, lifestyle-focused look while retaining the DNA of the original. Over the years, the AJ1 Low has evolved into a versatile staple, making it a favorite canvas for expressive designs and lifestyle crossovers. This new "Turquoise" edition plays right into that lane, offering a bolder, more fashion-forward interpretation. Further, from the photos, this isn't your typical retro. The jewel-encrusted Swoosh and heel give the shoe a handcrafted feel. The soft gradient across the upper adds dimension, and the detailing on the tongue brings it all together. Overall, it's a bold take on a model that's stood the test of time.

Further, the tongue includes tiny gem studs in matching tones, giving the shoe a full-on accessorized vibe. A clean white midsole and black outsole keep the structure grounded. It's flashy without being loud, perfect for casual rotation or standout moments. Air Jordan 1 Low "Turqouise" Release Date Sneaker News reports that the Air Jordan 1 Low "Turqouise" will be released in the fall of 2025.

The Nike Air Foamposite One "Triple White" is making its return, bringing back one of the cleanest looks in the silhouette's lineup. Known for its futuristic design and bold shape, the Foamposite has always had a love-it-or-hate-it presence in sneaker culture. But colorways like this one tend to unite fans. The all-white treatment gives the shoe a sleek, icy appearance, letting the sculpted upper speak for itself. Originally released in 1997, the Foamposite One was way ahead of its time. Designed for Penny Hardaway, it stood out with a synthetic molded upper that was both durable and visually unique. It was expensive, experimental, and a little wild, but that's what gave it cult status. Over the years, Nike has brought it back in waves, each time tapping into nostalgia and curiosity. This "Triple White" version keeps it simple and striking. Official images show every inch of the shoe, from the mesh tongue to the icy sole, drenched in white, with subtle hits of black for contrast. Overall, it's sharp, timeless, and definitely not for anyone afraid to get scuffed.

Air Jordan 12 "French Blue" Is Back This Summer

Posted by itstheboombap — Sat, 14 Jun 2025 01:43 GMT

The Air Jordan 12 "French Blue" is making a return in August, bringing back one of the most beloved colorways from the model's legacy. Originally released in 2004, this pair stood out for its bold yet versatile mix of white and navy. Jordan Brand is now bringing that same energy to a new generation of fans, and the latest retailer photos confirm it's looking just as clean as ever. The Air Jordan 12 was first introduced in 1996 and famously worn by Michael Jordan during the '96-'97 season. Its design draws inspiration from the Japanese rising sun flag and a 19th-century women's dress boot. That combination of cultural reference and on-court functionality made it an instant icon. The "French Blue" colorway, though not an original release, has gained near-classic status for its simple palette and timeless appeal. Retailer images show the crisp white leather upper paired with textured blue overlays and silver accents. Red hits on the heel tab and outsole branding round out the design. With pairs expected to drop in August, this release is shaping up to be one of the summer's most wearable retros.

The design stays true to its 2004 roots while subtly refreshed for today's release. Underfoot, the sneaker rides on a durable rubber outsole built for both style and function. Crisp, classic, and ready for August. Air Jordan 12 "French Blue" Release Date Sneaker Bar Detroit reports that the Air Jordan 12 "French Blue" will be released on August 16th, 2025.

Air Jordan 14 "Ferrari" Releases Tomorrow

Posted by itstheboombap — Sat, 14 Jun 2025 01:11 GMT

The Air Jordan 14 "Ferrari" returns tomorrow, fusing performance heritage with bold automotive inspiration. This isn't the first time Jordan Brand has leaned into luxury car culture for a design cue, but few colorways embody that vibe as sharply as this one. Drenched in red suede and paired with striking carbon fiber elements, the look immediately channels the sleek lines and aggressive flair of a sports car on the track. Originally launched in 1998, the Air Jordan 14 was the last silhouette Michael Jordan wore as a Chicago Bull. Inspired by his Ferrari 550 Maranello, the model came loaded with details like the aerodynamic body lines, metallic shank plate, and tire tread traction pattern. It was a statement sneaker both on and off the court, and one that's always stood out in the Jordan lineup for its bold styling. This updated "Ferrari" edition leans fully into its motorsport DNA. The vibrant challenge red upper is impossible to miss, while yellow and black hits give it a true race-day feel. From the Ferrari badge-style logo on the ankle to the carbon-style midsole wrap, it's a sneaker made for speed. The photos show exactly what this pair was made for, track energy and fearless swagger.

The tongue sports bold "Jordan" branding with a bright yellow pull tab. On the heel, the number 23 and Jumpman sit over a tire-inspired tread. Also, te design mirrors the Ferrari 550 Maranello, MJ's personal favorite, blending sportscar energy with basketball DNA. A Ferrari badge-style Jordan logo adds flair to the side panel. The look is finished with sleek black laces and mesh tongue detailing. It's performance and passion stitched into one. Air Jordan 14 "Ferrari" Release Date Sneaker News reports that the Air Jordan 14 "Ferrari" is releasing tomorrow: June 14th, 2025. Also, the retail price of the sneakers will be $215 when they drop.

Harvey Weinstein's Attorney Shares His Prediction About Diddy's Case

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 21:09 GMT

Last September, Diddy was arrested and hit with charges related to alleged sex trafficking and racketeering. He's been in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in New York City ever since. Last month, his trial finally began. So far, several people from his past have taken the stand. This includes Cassie, Dawn Richard, Kid Cudi, and more. If convicted, Diddy could face a hefty sentence like life in prison. During a recent chat with TMZ, Arthur Aidala shared his predictions for the trial. The attorney, who previously represented Harvey Weinstein, thinks it won't be easy for prosecutors to uphold racketeering charges against the mogul. "From the testimony I've heard so far, the prosecution still-apparently, they have a week of evidence left. They got their work cut out for them to make this a RICO case," he said.

Matthew Emmons / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Aidala's take arrived just as yet another week of trial came to a close with testimonies from one of Diddy's former assistants, Jonathan Perez. Perez recalled allegedly setting up rooms in preparation for the Bad Boy founder's alleged freak-offs, revealing some of the items he would put in the rooms. Allegedly, this included food, liquor, music, red lights, condoms, lubricant, and more. Perez even alleges that he would put honey in the rooms sometimes, as he heard it can increase men's libidos. Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent Andre LaMon also took the stand today, and was asked about photos taken during the raid of Diddy's Los Angeles home last year. He testified agents allegedly found over 200 bottles of baby oil during the raid, lingerie, 900 bottles of Astroglide, a plastic bag full of a "substance," and more. Allegedly, they even found multiple firearms, along with armor-piercing bullets.

Antonio Brown Goes For Cheery Bike Ride Amid Miami Arrest Warrant For Alleged Shooting

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 20:47 GMT

Antonio Brown is known for his chaotic and often controversial social media activity, even when it's in relation to far more serious real-life allegations. As caught by TMZ, he took to his Instagram Story on Friday (June 13) to share a video of him riding a bike. The outlet claims that AB is somewhere in the Middle East, as he was recently in Dubai promoting a cryptocurrency casino platform. That's based on his recent social media activity. As for why this is so notable, it's because of Antonio Brown's arrest warrant in Miami. He's wanted in Miami-Dade County in Florida on an alleged attempted second-degree murder with a firearm charge. The charge stems from an alleged incident at Adin Ross' boxing event last month. AB allegedly shot at a man twice outside of the venue. The police report claims he punched the man before grabbing a security guard's gun and firing at the man. The man reportedly alleged to police that a bullet grazed his neck and he identified Brown as the alleged shooter. Witnesses also allegedly identified him, and surveillance and cellphone footage of the alleged altercation surfaced online.

BREAKING: #NFL LEGEND ANTONIO BROWN IS CURRENTLY IN THE MIDDLE EAST RIDING BIKES. Back in the US, there is currently a warrant out for Brown's arrest on attempted murder charges. pic.twitter.com/c6r0ssmyAM — MLFootball (@_MLFootball) June 13, 2025 "I was jumped by multiple individuals who tried to steal my jewelry and cause physical harm to me," Antonio Brown alleged. "Police temporarily detained me until they received my side of the story and then released me. I WENT HOME THAT NIGHT AND WAS NOT ARRESTED. I will be talking to my legal council and attorneys on pressing charges on the individuals that jumped me; I will keep you all posted step-by-step on the process." Antonio Brown also seemingly responded to his warrant via an Instagram post. "What doesn't kill me makes me stronger. Wanna play? Then play hard," he captioned the post. We will see how this legal situation plays out. For now, though, it seems like the former NFL player is far away from Miami-Dade County. Elsewhere, other folks continue to keep tabs on Antonio Brown's football fallout. For example, Tom Brady recently reflected on their strained relationship during his appearance on the Impaulsive podcast with Logan Paul.

Lil Baby's Friend Allegedly Scams BenDaDonn & Jay Cinco Out Of $5K Over Gambling Session

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 20:27 GMT

Lil Baby has one more album to drop this year, but he could probably find success in the streaming world if he ever quits music. His recent appearance on Adin Ross', N3on's, BenDaDonn's, and other livestreams was notable for quite a few reasons, and not all of them are positive. At one point, Ben confronted the Atlanta rapper because one of Baby's friends allegedly scammed him and Jay Cinco out of $5K while gambling. It seems like folks were mostly having a laugh about it, but DaDonn wanted his money back and explained why it was a big deal. No Jumper caught the whole thing on Instagram, but it's still unclear exactly what happened. Sure, Lil Baby has had viral influencer confrontations before, but this doesn't really have much of an explanation. Nevertheless, BenDaDonn said he wasn't trying to be tough with Baby or anything. Rather, he was just annoyed that his friend allegedly didn't give him the respect of assuming he would pay up in good faith. However, Lil Baby had his own complaints when it came to these livestream interactions. At one point, Adin Ross said something on camera that Baby wanted to keep private. Read More: Kanye West Reportedly Left The Diddy Trial After Just About Half An Hour Lil Baby Dominique Release Date View this post on Instagram A post shared by No Jumper

(@nojumper) Regardless, it seems like everyone involved had a good time despite the hiccups here and there. The rise of streaming's popularity and its consistent hip-hop crossovers over the years probably means that many more collabs are to come. Hopefully for next time, everyone involved has privacy and scamming rules more clear. Elsewhere, Lil Baby is sharpening his pen before he drops his next 2025 album, Dominique. He recently provided a guest feature on the Tha Carter VI bonus cut "Momma Don't Worry" alongside Lil Wayne and Future. We don't know when the new project will come out, but we're ready for it whenever it does. Let's hope it's even better than WHAM. Meanwhile, Lil Baby fans can't wait either for this drop. But sometimes, their excitement can go a bit too far. A fan recently ran up to him at a meet and greet before falling over, and it was almost a frightening situation.

Diddy's Former Assistant Allegedly Put Honey In Rooms For Freak-Offs

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 20:26 GMT

Yet another person from Diddy's past took the stand during his federal trial today, his former assistant Jonathan Perez. Perez worked for the mogul from 2021 to 2024, when he was arrested and hit with charges related to alleged sex trafficking and racketeering. During his testimony, he recalled setting up rooms for Diddy's alleged freak-offs, per TMZ. According to him, this included gathering all the necessary materials for the alleged drug-fueled parties. Food, liquor, music, red lights, condoms, and lubricant were just a few of the things Perez would allegedly put in the rooms. Honey was allegedly another, as Perez claims he heard it can increase a man's libido. He also alleges that he'd go to adult stores to purchase outfits or high heels, and clean up the rooms after the alleged freak-offs. Allegedly, the clean-up involved a lot of dirty sheets, towels, and oil.

Jasen Vinlove / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images This is far from all that happened during Diddy's trial today, however. One of his peers made headlines for showing up at the courthouse to support the Bad Boy founder. This was Kanye West, who arrived in an all-white suit. His appearances prompted big reactions from social media users, including 50 Cent. He took to Instagram to troll both of them, sharing an AI-generated image of himself in a white suit. "We are wearing white in honor of the freak offs," he captioned it. "Damn Ye you should have brought your dirty little wife with that Grammys outfit! @50centaction." This week, Diddy's ex-girlfriend also testified anonymously under the pseudonym "Jane." She recalled taking part in his alleged freak-offs, accused him of of assault, and more. "He introduced me to this lifestyle under a lot of emotional pressure," she alleged. "I was so hooked from the beginning on the love and affection. I fell in love with him, and I didn't understand the terms of the relationship. It was this mix of love and pressure to do the things he desired. I felt I had to fulfill my duties as his girlfriend."

Young Thug & Future Evoke The "Super Slimey" Days In New Snippet

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 20:00 GMT

Young Thug and Future are one of trap's most iconic duos, and no one is shocked at all that they will seemingly continue that history. Thanks to ThuggerDaily on Twitter, we have a taste of a brand-new song snippet from the two that takes it back to their Super Slimey days. It doesn't sound too different from previous Young Thug and Future bangers. Fast-moving, crisp, and steady trap drums bolster airy synth pads in the background. As for the MCs' flows, they stretch out their vocals and melodic refrains with a lot of charisma and wooziness. They sound as cohesive as ever in their chemistry, and we'll see if they have more surprises on the way. So far in 2025, Future and Young Thug's musical link-ups have been pretty par the course for their trajectories. Not to say they're bad; far from it. But with over a decade of dominance under their belts, we'll see if this will be a new era. Either way, hardcore fans will probably be very happy once this snippet drops. If they end up delivering something else, then they will probably be just as ecstatic.

pic.twitter.com/kWM23sJdi8 — THUGGERDAILY ? (@ThuggerDaily) June 13, 2025 But where could another collab land? Obviously, we're talking about Young Thug's upcoming album, UY SCUTI. He's been teasing a release date of June 37 (whatever that means), so most fans think he will drop the record sometime this month. However, others think that this suggests a July release date, and there's only one way to find out. Given all the developments that have dogged Thugger for the past three years, fans are more than ready to be patient. It's been a long road, but one that they're happy is over. Meanwhile, Future is dropping heat in 2025 too. Maybe it's not a full album, but he already contributed some standout guest features this year. Pluto's most recent offering was "Momma Don't Worry," a more ballad-like cut alongside Lil Wayne and Lil Baby for the former's new album, Tha Carter VI. Will this new snippet land on UY SCUTI or is there still hope for Super Slimey 2? Is Hendrix dropping a project this year? We can't wait to find out.

Cash Cobain Shows His Love For New Orleans Bounce With OnlyHeaven Collab "Sick n Tired"

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 19:40 GMT

Cash Cobain is has a girl that is extremely fond of him; however, he just doesn't feel the same way. Instead, he knows that he can't give commitment and would rather join the streets and have fun at the club with ladies galore. That toxic energy is all over his latest single, "Sick n Tired." What's also prevalent on this cut is the New Orleans bounce sound, a distant cousin of his sexy drill subgenre. To help bring some more credibility to his homage, rowdy, underground, Louisiana femcee, OnlyHeaven is here too. Even though this track is melodic and sappy, she brings a commanding presence. "Oh, do you need that? 'Cause I got that / I'm from Uptown, where your block at? / I want a New York n****, where the Bronx at? / I need a head busser from Chiraq," she demands on her verse. Like Cash Cobain's previous single, "Trippin on a Yacht" with Bay Swag and Rob49, "Sick n Tired" is woozy and intoxicating from the start. There seems to be a sonic theme here for the New York rapper and producer, who's slated to drop another album later this year. But spin this new offering in the meantime, below.

R Kelly Reportedly Seeks Presidential Pardon From Donald Trump Amid Alleged Prison Murder Plot

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 19:30 GMT

R. Kelly continues to garner some celebrity support despite his convictions, but he reportedly needs a presidential cosign to really get what he wants. According to PEOPLE, his attorney Beau B. Brindley told the outlet that they're in conversations to get a pardon from convicted United States President Donald Trump. "We are in open discussions with people close to President Trump," Brindley reportedly told the publication. "And those discussions have expanded and intensified since we filed our motion. We believe that President Trump is the only person with the courage to help us." The motion that the lawyer referenced relates to an alleged R Kelly murder plot in prison. His team claims that prison officials conspired with an inmate to carry out a hit on him, and he motioned for an emergency release due to fear for his life. "Immediately after our motion became public, Robert [Kelly] was thrown into solitary confinement," Brindley alleged. "He cannot make phone calls to his family, he has no access to commissary. He has spiders crawling over him while he tries to sleep." The R&B singer is currently serving a 30-year prison sentence for federal charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. He now seeks a pardon or a commuted sentence due to the alleged murder plot. Read More: Diddy's Ex Assistant Recalls Dream In Which Mogul Saved Her From R.

Mandatory Credit: Tim Groothuis/Witters Sport via USA TODAY Sports via Imagn Images Kelly's lawyer also claimed that he's afraid to eat in prison due to fear of poison. Inmate Mikeal Glenn Stine alleged via a written declaration that three Bureau of Prisons officers asked him to murder the disgraced vocalist. Stine allegedly told Kelly about the alleged plot, alleging that he had a change of heart. Brindley alleged to PEOPLE that his client already faced attacks in the past. "He is not safe in federal custody," he remarked concerning R Kelly's prison time. "And to keep him in prison while he is under threat like this is cruel and unusual punishment." Elsewhere, this is not the only story regarding a possible Donald Trump pardon. Rumors began to swirl about a potential deal with Diddy. The U.S. President responded to these rumors, saying that he hasn't heard anything but would "look at the facts."

EST Gee Seizes The Moment On "My World"

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 19:11 GMT

EST Gee is letting every other rapper know that it's his world and everyone else is just living in it. That's the type of energy he's on with his surprise new album, My World. This tape's announcement snuck up on everyone as just over a week ago, the Louisville slugger put out its lead single. That would be the reflective "Take my time Geeski SH Feb 23." Moreover, it's also only been about four and a half months since EST GEE's last full length offering, I Aint Feeling You and its deluxe. It seems like there's a theme for the former Kentucky undergrounder this year and that is to stomp all over his contemporaries. He feels in a prime position for a takeover and he's making sure not to waste that opportunity. Overall, it's a valid move to make hip-hop has gotten off to a fairly slow start halfway through 2025. As such, Gee's bringing a hungry energy to the 14 tracks here. The titles which are demo-ish in nature also show this confidence. He could drop random recordings from the last several months randomly and they are still going to hit. He's honestly not wrong as there aren't many skips to be had.

Diddy Accuser Goes Public With Her Sexual Assault Lawsuit

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 19:00 GMT

In addition to his federal trial, many lawsuits alleging misconduct have hit Diddy over the past year and a half. Some of these are anonymous, and one woman who launched a sexual assault lawsuit against him is now going public. Alleged ex girlfriend Chelsea Lovelace reportedly refiled her lawsuit under her real name. She alleged that Sean Combs tried to pressure her into a "freak-off" and drugged her at his Miami mansion in July last year, about two months before his arrest. The original lawsuit appeared in September of last year, over a week after the federal charges came through. Lovelace allegedly met the Bad Boy mogul on his birthday trip to Turks and Caicos in November of 2020. They allegedly dated up to September of last year. In a statement to Rolling Stone, Chelsea Lovelace spoke on why she went public concerning Diddy's alleged crimes. She said she chose "healing over hiding" after initially filing anonymously due to the sensitive allegations and fear for her safety. "There was a time I truly believed we shared something real," Lovelace said of her alleged Diddy relationship. "In my heart, for a time I believed he genuinely cared about me. That we both cared for one another in a way that meant something. But over time, that illusion shattered. And with it, so did parts of me. What I once thought was love and loyalty, quickly turned into manipulation, control and abuse. I was not seen as a person with a soul. But as a pawn in a much larger game."

Mandatory Credit: Brad Rempel-USA TODAY Sports via Imagn Images "I didn't want to believe it," she continued concerning the Diddy allegations. "I wrestled with God, with my heart, with my own silence. Filing this lawsuit - first as Jane Doe, and now as myself - is not an act of revenge. It is an act of release. Of standing in my truth. Of choosing healing over hiding. This is about dignity, this is about accountability. This is about the countless times I told myself to be quiet and stay loyal. Until silence became too heavy to bear." Amid Diddy's federal trial, he and his legal team continue to defend his alleged innocence when it comes to these and all other allegations. On the 23rd day in court on Friday (June 13), a DHS agent took the stand and testified about Combs' Los Angeles raid.

Rory, Masego, & Freddie Gibbs Connect For Hazy R&B-Tinged Single "Off Road"

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 18:32 GMT

Rory Farrell, the co-host of the New Rory & MAL podcast, is known for dishing out his opinions on hip-hop. But the former Joe Budden Podcast employee is also a producer and manager. Both titles come from prior work experience at a music label. As for the managing gig, he currently helps out indie duo Emotional Oranges. But the producing hustle is what we are focusing on today because Rory's new single "Off Road" is out now. It sports features from R&B act Masego as well as Gary, Indiana rapper Freddie Gibbs. Despite being deep within the rap world, Rory hovers more in Masego's world than Gibbs'. "Off Road" stays in that sonic landscape, albeit a more alternative one. It's a hazy cut about casual relationships and love and finding that fling for the summer. However, Freddie and Masego also warn the listeners to stay away from certain girls even if they seem appealing on the surface. Rory's production is mellow and works in some horns, snappy percussion, and dreamy synth patterns. It's got a bumping groove, but it doesn't throw off the vibe "Off Road" is shooting for. His last single, "WHO ARE YOU ANYWAY?" which featured Leon Thomas, had a similar tone both in the lyrics and production. This has us theorizing that something bigger could be coming down the pipe. After all, it has been two years since Rory's debut LP, I Thought It'd Be Different.

Justin Bieber Finally Puts His Foot Down On Pestering Paparazzi

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 18:30 GMT

Not every famous face deals with extreme intrusive attention out in the real world, but Justin Bieber certainly does. It's one thing as a celebrity to have massive social media speculation about you, but it's another thing entirely to experience that suffocating feeling in person. Sadly for the Canadian superstar, he has experienced both for pretty much most of his life at this point. While many folks might call heavy paparazzi presences just part of celebrity culture, he doesn't think the media should hold itself to this invasive standard. Justin Bieber's paparazzi clashes are well-documented at this point, but TMZ reported on possibly his most direct callout yet. In a video, you can see him exiting his Malibu house on Thursday (June 12) and making his way to a car. Amid many flashes, statements, and questions from cameras and paparazzi on the premises, Bieber had enough. He then made his way over to them and went on what some people might call a rant. It's more of a stern talking-to, as the 31-year-old made it clear he wants to set boundaries as a father. He called them out for playing this "game," framing footage as uncalled-for rage, and exploiting his image and movement.

Mandatory Credit: Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports via Imagn Images You can see the whole moment for yourself on the outlet's website, and it's a lot to process. However, with many celebrities being similarly frustrated with the trappings of fame, it's quite cathartic to witness as well. Elsewhere, though, Justin Bieber's still got it. Even with all these speculative narratives around his personal life, he continues his commitment to showing fans a good time. Justin recently surprised SZA fans at her "Grand National" tour stop with Kendrick Lamar in Los Angeles. Hopefully these paparazzi intrusions become much less frequent for him moving forward. Yes, there is a "game" to play and these people have jobs, but this confrontation should set a healthier media precedent moving forward. Hopefully it does.

Antonio Brown Breaks His Silence Amid Reports He's Wanted For Alleged Attempted Murder

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 18:23 GMT

Last month, one of Adin Ross' boxing events took a shocking turn when an altercation allegedly took place outside. Footage of the incident quickly went viral, showing Antonio Brown allegedly getting jumped by a group of men. Eventually, it looks like he was able to escape before gunshots could be heard. Brown was then escorted away by police, though he was not arrested. Brown later took to X to comment on the ordeal. "Regarding the boxing event that happened last night. I was jumped by multiple individuals who tried to steal my jewelry and cause physical harm to me," he alleged. "Contrary to some video circulating, Police temporarily detained me until they received my side of the story and then released me." "I WENT HOME THAT NIGHT AND WAS NOT ARRESTED," he also alleged, "I will be talking to my legal council and attorneys on pressing charges on the individuals that jumped me ... I will keep you all posted step-by-step on the process. Thank you for the support and love #AB#84

@WORLDSTAR." Read More: Antonio Brown Wanted For Alleged Attempted Murder After Shooting Outside Of Adin Ross Boxing Event Antonio Brown Wanted View this post on Instagram A post shared by Yawah Ben (@ab) Yesterday, however, it was reported that he is now wanted for alleged attempted murder. According to the Associated Press, he's accused of grabbing a handgun from a member of security and firing two shots at one of the men he allegedly got into a fight with. The alleged victim, Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu, alleges that one bullet grazed his neck. On top of the cellphone footage of the incident, witnesses on the scene identified Brown as the alleged shooter. At the time of writing, he has not been arrested. He did take to Instagram earlier today, however, with his first post since the unfortunate news. He shared a photo of himself flexing in a boxing ring and looking unbothered. "What doesn't kill me makes me stronger," he captioned it. "Wanna play? Then play hard. @bcgame #stayuntamed."

Sneako Presses Diddy Trial Reporter For Not Calling Kanye West "Ye"

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 18:00 GMT

Kanye West has made it very clear that if you won't call him Ye, you might as well not call him at all. His recently frequent streaming pal Sneako doubled down on that request while attending the Diddy trial, as he ran into a reported journalist outside Manhattan federal court. The capture of this moment by FearBuck on Twitter does not confirm this other person's profession, identity, or context. However, their mention of potentially interviewing Kanye indicates that he might be a reporter. But the reporter's mistake was calling the Yeezy mogul by his original government name, something that the streamer took issue with. "Well, you got to say his name correct," Sneako clarified concerning Kanye West's name. "See, you're mad that people aren't asking - that's not his name. Don't do that patronizing thing and then ask to have difficult conversations. You should call him Ye 'cause that's what he says he's called now." The whole interaction appeared on the media personality's livestream. Kanye West's visit at Diddy's trial was notable for some other reasons as well. He greeted Puff's son Christian "King" Combs when he arrived, but he reportedly left after just about a half hour there.

pic.twitter.com/lb4PRIo6HG — FearBuck (@FearedBuck) June 13, 2025 While people call the former G.O.O.D. Music boss a whole lot of things these days, we can't blame him or his circle for being so insistent on his wishes. It's the same respect one would want to give to many other people with name changes. But whether it's tradition or disdain holding people back, most people haven't fallen in line. Elsewhere, Kanye West's support of Diddy has been a long-standing narrative for the past year or so. Earlier than that, there were random mentions of the scandal and tensions even earlier than that. But especially in 2025, Ye fully stands by the New York executive despite his many allegations. When it comes to the Diddy trial, things went on as usual on its 23rd day in court. On Friday (June 13), a Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent took the stand. He alleged that authorities found drugs, baby oil, weapons, and ammunition during their raid of Combs' Los Angeles home.

50 Cent Trolls Kanye West For Showing Up To Diddy Trial

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 17:44 GMT

Diddy's trial continues, and today, one fellow hip-hop artist showed up to court to support him. This, of course, was Kanye West. The Chicago-born performer has been vocal with his support for the Bad Boy founder since his arrest last year. In March, he took to X to reveal why he's publicly backing the mogul despite the disturbing allegations he's facing. "I STAND BY PUFF BECAUSE ADIDAS TRIED TO DO THE SAME THING TO ME THAT DIAGIO DID TO PUFF," he alleged before accusing Cassie of trying to extort Diddy. Ye reportedly stayed in the courtroom for less than 30 minutes before making his exit, but his appearance earned big reactions from social media users. 50 Cent was among the first to weigh in, throwing serious shade at the Yeezy founder's all-white outfit and wife, Bianca Censori. "We are wearing white in honor of the freak offs," he captioned an AI-generated image of himself in a white suit on Instagram. "Damn Ye you should have brought your dirty little wife with that Grammys outfit! @50centaction."

In fact, his online trolling has only picked up since then. Last week, he even teased a new "Mogul" series based on Diddy's ongoing legal drama. "Inspired by the rise and fall of Sean P Diddy Combs, f**k it I gotta make some money off this s**t. Coming Soon! This ain't Empire," he captioned what appeared to be a logo in progress. As for what else happened in court today, Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent Andre LaMon took the stand. He testified that agents allegedly found more than 900 bottles of Astroglide during a raid of Diddy's Los Angeles home back in 2024, according to TMZ. Allegedly, 200 bottles of baby oil, lingerie, armor-piercing bullets, and a "substance" in a plastic bag were also discovered.

Slick Rick Takes A "VICTORY" Lap 25+ Years In The Making On His Comeback LP

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 16:55 GMT

Slick Rick, with the help of Idris Elba and Nas, has a new album out for the first time in 26 years. The London and United States resident's latest body of work, VICTORY, is out now via the former's 7Wallace and the latter's Mass Appeal. Side note: Nas's imprint is also helping release Ghostface Killah's Supreme Clientele 2, a collab tape with Illmatic creator and DJ Premier, among others. Slick Rick's is one of seven, according to Stereogum and it arrives after years of solo silence. However, he has been busy with features over the last several years, though. He's been working with acts like Westside Gunn, IDK, Mariah Carey, DJ Muggs, Black Eyed Peas, and more. However, part of the reason for the lack of music from Slick Rick can be attributed to some serious legal issues. Per the outlet, he was arrested not too long after releasing The Great Adventures Of Slick Rick in 1988. He went to prison for attempted murder and more. He did manage to drop The Ruler's Back and Behind Bars in that time. Eventually, he got out on a pardon from New York's governor back in 2008. But now that he's returned, how does it all sound? The eye-patch-wearing 60-year-old still lives up to his name with clever bars and rhymes. Moreover, the production sounds like it was plucked out of his era. He's not trying to catch up to the modern hip-hop sound. Overall, he's taking this time to relish in his influence and success that's spanned nearly four decades and he sounds great while doing so.

Armor-Piercing Bullets, Baby Oil & More Were Allegedly Found During Diddy Raid

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 16:43 GMT

Diddy's federal trial continues, and today, Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent Andre LaMon took the stand. LaMon was one of the agents who conducted the raid on the Bad Boy founder's Los Angeles home back in 2024. During his testimony, he was questioned about photos of evidence seized during the raid, per TMZ. He testified agents found more than 200 bottles of baby oil during the raid, as well as lingerie, and a whopping 900 bottles of Astroglide. LaMon also recalled agents allegedly finding a plastic bag with "substances" in it in a safe along with Diddy's passport. Multiple firearms were also recovered, as well as ammunition. Reportedly, this included 30-round magazines and one 60-round drum magazine loaded with 59 "green-tip" bullets. LaMon testified the "green-tip" bullets are designed to pierce body armor.

Robert Hanashiro / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images This is far from all that happened during Diddy's trial today, however. Kanye West is also currently making headlines for showing up at the courthouse in an all-white outfit to support the mogul. He reportedly stayed for less than half an hour, but regardless, he managed to make his stance clearer than ever. LaMon's testimony took place after one of Diddy's ex-girlfriends testified anonymously under the pseudonym "Jane." During her testimony, she recalled taking part in his alleged freak-offs, being frustrated with the state of their relationship, accused him of assault, and more. "He introduced me to this lifestyle under a lot of emotional pressure," she alleged. "I was so hooked from the beginning on the love and affection. I fell in love with him, and I didn't understand the terms of the relationship. It was this mix of love and pressure to do the things he desired. I felt I had to fulfill my duties as his girlfriend."

Flau'jae Johnson Reveals She's No Longer Friends With Angel Reese

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 16:10 GMT

Flau'jae Johnson and Angel Reese have a lot of history together as two star players for the LSU Tigers this decade. Their NCAA championship in 2023 was monumental, but since then, things between the two basketball players have been rocky. However, that doesn't mean there isn't strong support there. As caught by The Jasmine Brand on Instagram, the hooper and rapper recently appeared on The Breakfast Club. She addressed questions about where she and the Chicago Sky basketball player stand, and she didn't mince words. "We're not friends," Flau'jae remarked. However, Flau'jae Johnson and Angel Reese's alleged tensions don't mean that there's necessarily any real beef. "That bond we had, and what we did together, winning that title... You can never take that away from us," Johnson added. She didn't elaborate on the impact of "a lot of media, a lot of locker room stuff" on their relationship, but she wishes Reese the best in the WNBA. "I support her in everything she do," Flau'jae stated. "She's killing it. [...] I be clowning the folks that be talking down on her. I'm just proud of her." Also, Flau'jae Johnson spoke on her music career and her junior season focus. "Stuff happens... You just got to grow," she posited.

Star boxer Claressa Shields popped off when she lost the Sportswoman of the Year award to Reese, and she responded by dismissing the critics. "It's great... it meant something to people because it's me," Reese told reporters after a Chicago Sky loss. "I haven't been playing well at all, and I could mope or point fingers. But it's been me, I take accountability, try to be better than the last day. I don't complain, I don't care about anything else. I'm just here to go to work every day and go home." "Still don't know how I didn't win the Sportswoman of the Year for the @BETAwards but Congrats to Angel Reese and all the other Nominees," Claressa Shields had remarked. "I just thought accolades mattered." At least Flau'jae Johnson is here to support despite their distance.

Nemzzz & Latto Pen A Cross-Country Flexing Anthem With "ART"

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 15:52 GMT

Nemzzz and Latto have all of the confidence in the world on their first-ever collaboration, "ART." The single arrives following some big releases for both rappers as the former is fresh off of the deluxe of his most recent tape, RENT'S DUE. The project features streaming sensations such as "BAD DECISIONS," "DILEMMA" with Central Cee, and "COLD." As for Latto, aka the Queen of Da Souf, she's coming off her 2024 record, Sugar Honey Iced Tea. Similarly, she also left off a bonus edition in January. She scored tons of big collabs for it as Playboi Carti, Megan Thee Stallion, Ciara, Teezo Touchdown, Cardi B, are just few of them. All of that success has led to "ART," which finds the UK and U.S. MCs flexing hard. Whether it be their jewelry, their rosters of men and women, or their money, they are showing it all off. On this collab as well is a melding of sounds. Tay Keith and Boi-1da, both known for concocting some of the nastiest trap beats of the last 10+ years, are bringing Nemzzz into their world. He sounds just fine over it with a cool and collected flow and presence. But Latto does some experimenting too as she tries her hand at incorporating UK slang into her brags. Check out the cross-country joint single "ART" below. Read More: Hottest Rap Albums & Songs Of May 2025 Nemzzz & Latto "ART" Watch Video on YouTube Quotable Lyrics: Ayy, wassam?

Chrisean Rock Still Wants To Have A Family With Blueface

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 15:30 GMT

Chrisean Rock has gone through some very big life changes as of late, whether it relates to her motherhood of Chrisean Jr. or her complex relationship with his father Blueface. While they have been through a lot, it seems like the saga is not over. As caught by Livebitez and No Jumper on Instagram, Rock recently went Live on the social media platform. She seemed to indicate that she wants to find a more amicable resolution to her issues with the California rapper. Maybe Chrisean was talking about something else or intended another message, but she just wants her family to be well. "As y'all know, y'all see that I follow my baby dad," Chrisean Rock remarked about Blueface. "I want to work it out with my family. F**k all the bulls**t. F**k everybody else, for real. 'Cause everybody just everybody and that ain't enough for me. So yeah, Team Blueface. I am chilling, I am happy." We will see if this actually results in a reconciliation or just an amicable coparenting relationship. There are multiple factors that hint towards the future; some are optimistic, and others are pessimistic.

(@nojumper) In the latter's case, seeing a full family reconciliation might be tough. Blueface's father recently moved Chrisean Rock's stuff out. "I'm so sorry this is happening," a clip of the development narrated. "But we've tried contacting the individual for the past 60 days. No response, no feedback regarding your personal belongings. So we had no choice but to respectfully pack it up and move it to a storage facility." Elsewhere, Chrisean Rock apologized to Blueface's mother and also to his other partner Jaidyn Alexis for all their drama. "I'm sorry Karlissa, I'm sorry Jaidyn," she remarked on social media. "I apologize to that whole side of people. I'm just sorry, 'cause I don't really care about... I really care about my son, bro, and I know he'd be thriving better with his siblings too." Also, Chrisean told Karlissa Saffold that she could pick one-year-old Chrisean Jr. up when his father leaves prison sometime in the future. He's currently behind bars for a probation violation.

Recently, Jermaine Dupri appeared on the New Rory & MAL podcast, where he dropped an exciting hint about what players can expect from GTA 6. According to him, Drake has his very own radio station in the game. "They asked me to do Grand Theft Auto, and they were saying like Drake got his own radio station on Grand Theft Auto," he explained, as captured by Victor Baez on X. Dupri went on to mention the possibility of artists like Drake being able to include previously unheard tracks in the game. Drake isn't the first artist rumored to have their own radio station in GTA 6. Kendrick Lamar, DJ Khaled, and more are also rumored to have their own radio stations. It's even rumored that players will be able to listen to music outside of cars. The character Lucia is seen in some images wearing a pair of headphones.

The Toronto rapper was also scheduled to join Kai Cenat for a livestream last night, where they planned to review fan submissions for their "Somebody Loves Me" music video contest. Unfortunately, the stream got postponed just a few hours before it was expected to begin. "We need more time with the treatments for sombody who loves me. So we are pushing the stream back a few more days [fingers crossed emoji]. Apologies," Cenat wrote on his Instagram Story. At the time of writing, a new date has not yet been announced.

Kanye West Arrives At Diddy Trial In An All-White Outfit

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 14:58 GMT

The Diddy trial has resulted in a lot of celebrities talking about the case, and Kanye West is unquestionably leading public support for Sean Combs in controversial ways. He made that very clear on Friday (June 13) as he showed up in an all-white suit to Manhattan federal court to support the mogul. According to TMZ, Ye emerged from a black car, shook hands with some folks, and went up to the security checkpoint. He went through the same security checks as regular folks, so no special treatment here. The Yeezy mogul also dapped up Puff's son Christian "King" Combs before going through the courthouse's door. Kanye West's support for Diddy is well-documented up to this point. He has gone on various abhorrent social media rants defending his alleged behavior or painting his prosecution as a witch hunt. Also, the Chicago artist has referenced him on various occasions in his recent musical releases. Furthermore, Kanye's solidarity with the Combs family has shown up through various collaborations and public link-ups. This definitely takes the cake, and we will see how things go from here.

pic.twitter.com/lLliiwPKpy — HotNewHipHop (@HotNewHipHop) June 13, 2025 For example, Kanye West blasted testimony in the Diddy trial, specifically that of his former collaborator Kid Cudi. "I wish Cudi hadn't testified against Puff," he expressed on social media. "We need not to be locked in white systems. Praying for Puff and his family. Praying for Puff Daddy and the Family." Elsewhere in the Diddy trial, other witness testimonies continue to cause a lot of debate online as both sides of the court deliberate. The key focus on this 23rd day of trial (Friday, June 13) continues to be "Jane," an anonymous alleged sex trafficking victim and former partner of Puff's on the stand. The jury recently heard an alleged voice message from Combs to Jane in which he calls her his "crack pipe." On other days, she made various allegations about their alleged sex parties and the abuse and manipulation she allegedly suffered. Back to Ye, though, this turned a lot of heads. We'll see if there's anything else to this visit.

Juicy J & Logic Surprise With First-Ever Collab Album "Live And In Color"

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 14:45 GMT

Juicy J and Logic are pretty different artists across the board. But they have proven that they can work together on numerous occasions. That's why this weekend the Maryland and Tennessee rappers have presented their first-ever joint album, Live And In Color. This album was announced pretty quietly as the Three 6 Mafia MC did so with an Instagram post 10 days before its release today (June 13). What's more is that Live And In Color is a rapper/producer type of listening experience. Logic is behind the boards on every song, bringing his trademark boom bap beats to the table. However, he does contribute some verses about 1/3 of the way through. But with the type of production in mind, we are sure you're wondering how Juicy J, a trap artist at his core, would sound over them. For the most part, he doesn't sound out of place. In fact, his gritty and commanding voice contrasts nicely and it reminds us of New York hip-hop to some extent. There are also some discussions dispersed throughout the 21-song tracklist that range from funny stories to serious heart-to-hearts. It shows how much mutual respect Logic and Juicy J have for each other and why this album exists to begin with. Overall, it's a fun project that showcases how artists from different subgenres can find a middle ground and make something quite enjoyable. Read More: Who Is India Love?

Boosie Badazz Reacts To Yung Miami's Alleged Role In Diddy's Trial

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 14:30 GMT

The Diddy trial has really put his relationships under the microscope, with witness testimonies launching various allegations about his alleged flings and proclivities. Boosie Badazz recently reacted to one allegation in particular from "Jane," an anonymous alleged sex trafficking victim and former partner on the stand. Specifically, she explained how Sean Combs' public romance with Yung Miami allegedly impacted their relationship in a negative way. "I didn't sign up to date a man that was in a public relationship," Jane remarked, according to CNN. For Boosie, this indicates jealousy. As caught by Hollywood Unlocked on Instagram, he took to Twitter to double down on his allegations that this is all a sham. "I TOLD YALL!! YUNG MIAMI HAD ALL THEM H*ES SICK A WOMAN SCORNED IS A EVIL MF," the Baton Rouge rapper reportedly wrote. Boosie Badazz has fully supported Diddy amid this trial process, causing much controversy in the process. For example, he accused Cassie Ventura and her husband Alex Fine of orchestrating the Bad Boy mogul's downfall. Boosie thinks all these allegations are not enough criminal activity to send Puff to prison.

She allegedly liked an Instagram comment that criticized alleged victims on the stand during this trial. "YES QUEEN! Let the people know your busy enjoying your life, & not playing victim on the stand [heart eyes emoji] we love you," the alleged comment read. Elsewhere, the former City Girl also clapped back at trolls claiming that Yung Miami misses Diddy's money. "Yall get on this app and type anything here's my IG @yungmiami305 if you wanna see how I'm living!!!!!" she retorted. "Yall don't like when I clap back so leave me alone. I'll be trending for days once I finish laying yall h*es!" Amid all this drama, the Diddy trial will continue on its path with no interruption for now. We are on the case's 23rd day in court, and we will see if today (Friday, June 13) holds more significant updates. Most recently, prosecutors accused a juror of being dishonest and want to kick them out.

Kai Cenat Addresses Accidental Wale Snub

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 14:24 GMT

Earlier this week, Kai Cenat ran into Wale at the BET Awards, and the two of them had a brief interaction. It quickly went viral, however, after the streamer quickly admitted that he had no idea who the artist was. He mispronounced his name as fans flooded the chat with it, appearing clueless and asking what he does. Later in the evening, Wale confronted Cenat about the awkward moment. "That sh*t making me look crazy now, just so you know," he said. "That's making me look crazy, the exchange we had in the hallway. I mean, they running with it, but we'll talk later." He didn't appear too offended by the whole thing, but regardless, Cenat recently took it upon himself to explain. During a stream, he said he hopes the rapper didn't take accidental snub personally, blaming his age. "I'mma go ahead and say to Wale, I hope he didn't take my interaction personal," he explained, as captured by Akademiks TV. "How can you blame me from being who I am? You feel me? I'm young!"

The two of them were supposed to get together to review supporters' submissions for their "Somebody Loves Me" music video contest. Unfortunately, the stream got pushed back just a few hours before it was scheduled to begin. "We need more time with the treatments for sombody who loves me. So we are pushing the stream back a few more days [fingers crossed emoji]. Apologies," Cenat wrote on his Instagram Story. It's not the first time the stream has gotten delayed, and at the time of writing, a new date has not been announced.

Lil Baby Smacks Adin Ross For Airing Out His Business On Stream

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 14:03 GMT

Lil Baby has had a couple of viral influencer interactions throughout his career, although Adin Ross and N3on learned his boundaries the hard way. The two streamers recently linked up and met a whole bunch of people, including Young Thug and Tyler Herro. However, at one point of their shindigs, they forgot about some important rules. As caught by AdinUpdate on Twitter, Baby, Adin, N3on, and others were outside at a certain point and the rapper was seemingly making his way out. He went up to Ross for a private conversation off camera in which he allegedly told him that he was going to shoot dice with Herro. How do we know this? Because Adin Ross said it out loud on the stream, and the Atlanta MC smacked him for it. Adin apologized and looked embarrassed, but it seems like nothing else happened after that. At least this wasn't like the scary situation Lil Baby faced earlier this month. A meet-and-greet session led a female fan to rush him and fall over. She seemed okay, but it was definitely not what anyone was expecting, even from hardcore fans.

pic.twitter.com/JmuT80MbK6 — AdinUpdate (@AdinUpdate) June 13, 2025 Elsewhere, Lil Baby is currently on tour, and his recent hometown stop in Atlanta was a pretty massive affair. He brought out YFN Lucci after his turbulent legal saga, seemingly squashing some rumored beef among various MCs in the city. Other special guest who joined the show are Quavo, Sexyy Red, PLUTO, Yung L.A., Rob49, and Young Dro. As for the streamer, Adin Ross has some unexpected drama to handle. An alleged shooting outside of his boxing event led to a Miami warrant for the arrest of Antonio Brown. Authorities accused him of alleged attempted murder for allegedly shooting at a man twice outside the event. With how popular streaming is these days, we imagine that this won't be Ross and Baby's last interaction, and the former will have many more rappers to have viral moments with. But hopefully for next time, everyone involved knows the rules about walking off camera, keeping quiet, and leaving personal business out of otherwise controlled environments.

Kendrick Lamar Fans Take Over New Ho King After Show In Drake's Hometown Of Toronto

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 13:44 GMT

Yesterday (June 12), Kendrick Lamar brought his "Grand National" tour with SZA to Drake's hometown of Toronto. It was the first time the Compton-born artist performed there since their feud, and it looks like the show was a major success. In clips making their rounds online, the crowd can be heard going wild for "Not Like Us," the explosive diss track that resulted in a lawsuit. They demanded an encore too, making it clear where their loyalty lies. The excitement didn't end when the show did, however. In another clip shared by @WordFromKdot on X, a group of fans are seen at New Ho King, the Chinese restaurant Kendrick name-drops on his Drake diss track "Euphoria." The restaurant reportedly saw a huge surge in business since getting mentioned in the viral battle. They even began offering a "Kendrick Lamar Special," a combination of the foods mentioned in the track.

The clip surfaced shortly after DJ Akademiks discussed the show during a livestream, recalling a conversation he allegedly had with Drake beforehand. According to him, he encouraged Drizzy to attend the show himself, but was allegedly told that cops have been parked on his street since earlier this week. "Actually, I even told Drake I was coming to Toronto," he alleged. "Yo, me and Drake talked yesterday. You know what I told that n***a Drake? I said, 'Drake, if you like that, you see how Big Ak popped up at the show? N***a, you pop out at the show.' *laughs* I'm an instigator, I'm an instigator. [...] 'They in your city. Pop out, n***a!'

Pi'erre Bourne, who's mostly known for being an acclaimed producer, is dropping his next solo rap album very shortly. It's going to be titled Made In Paris and it will be arriving on June 27. It will be his first solo tape of any kind since his 2023 EP, Grails. It's been in the works for some time now and it's unfortunately been mired with delays. Most of them have fallen on Pi'erre Bourne himself, who has frankly just had a busy schedule over the last year or so. In a tweet caught by Genius, he said, "I really just got tired from traveling, shooting photos and videos. Mixing [the] album, going to fashion events same day and not sleeping... It's not on the label. It's me," he admitted. He also revealed that he wanted to put out the second Sli'merre first before delivering Made In Paris. But we are finally receiving it in two weeks, and it feels good to say that. But before we do, Pi'erre has given us one more taster in "Pop." It's an extremely straightforward banger that encourages the ladies to "Pop it, drop it" nonstop. There's a lot of repeating lyrics, making this incredibly easy to remember and vibe to. The real highlights are the mixing and production, which are both of high quality and what we come to expect from him. It's a summer track that's sure to go crazy at strip clubs all over.

Kanye West Reportedly Wants To Attend The Diddy Trial

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 13:12 GMT

The Diddy trial's developments have caused a lot of social media debate, and Kanye West is one of the largest voices speaking in support of Sean Combs. According to a CNN report, an alleged source reportedly close to the Bad Boy mogul told the outlet that Ye wants to be even more outspoken. He's reportedly in New York City as of Thursday (June 12), but did not attend the Diddy trial that day. Kanye reportedly wants to show support and got in touch with Puff's son, Christian "King" Combs, to see if he can attend the trial with the rest of the Combs family. The Bad Boy mogul's sons and the rest of their family have been in court for much of the trial proceedings. Also, King and Ye are reportedly working on new music together. CNN's source added that the latter might go to court when the defense team begins their presentation. Prosecutors already reportedly stated that their presentation should finalize next week. This means defense attorneys will call on their own witnesses and bring other allegations very soon.

ROBERT DEUTSCH / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Kanye West's support of Diddy has not waned despite over 60 civil cases and federal allegations of sex trafficking, racketeering, and more. In fact, before this, it was unclear if the two hip-hop titans were even getting along. There were accusations from Ye to Puff about him being a "fed," and their overall positive bond grew rocky. These days, there is no such gray area or reservation. Kanye West has defended Diddy on multiple platforms, whether it's his social media rants or his actual new music. We will see whether or not this court visit actually ends up panning out, as we all know how volatile and chaotic his everyday life can be. Elsewhere, the Diddy trial entered its 23rd day on Friday (June 13). Recently, prosecutors accused a juror of being dishonest during the selection process, and now want them removed from the trial. There are other doubts on both sides about the veracity and consistency of certain narratives and allegations. We'll see what the next complex questions are about this case.

Lil Tecca Has Plenty Hits Of "DOPAMINE" On His Latest Album

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 12:55 GMT

Lil Tecca has been steadily evolving as an artist since bursting onto the scene with "Ransom" in 2019. Creating that hit at just 17 helped him progress pretty quickly as he's been able to replicate that catchy songwriting and production on every project since that debut. But the latter skill has made him more than just a singles artist. The Queens, New York native has become quite the curator, with his last couple of albums, TEC and PLAN A, showcasing that. But his latest tape, DOPAMINE, feels like a culmination of all of that experience he's gained. This sounds like his most expensive project to date with trippy synths, recognizable samples, and resonant bass and 808s. Overall, the 17-tracks, which are all roughly two minutes and change, do feel like satisfying hits of dopamine (pun intended). Lil Tecca's melody game is point too, making for a lot of these tracks to be highly accessible. The project kicks off with its two singles, "Dark Thoughts" and "OWA OWA," two songs that are already taking over playlists and the summertime. The album doesn't really falter all that much; however, we won't be surprised if some listeners don't like the pop-centric detours on "Favorite Lie" and "Hollywood." Speaking off going left, DOPAMINE closes with Lil Tecca venturing into Ken Carson's dark and twisted world of rage on "Tic Tac Toe." Overall, though, this latest body of work from the 22-year-old is fun and easy to digest and one that should be on your list of ones to check out for these warmer months.

Diddy Juror Could Get Disqualified From Trial Over Alleged Dishonesty

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 12:50 GMT

In May, Diddy's long-awaited federal trial finally began following months of anticipation. He was arrested in September of last year on charges related to alleged sex trafficking and racketeering, and has been in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in New York City ever since. If convicted, he could face a hefty sentence, including life behind bars. Yesterday (June 12), tensions arose in the courtroom, as prosecutors moved to have one juror disqualified from the trial. They accused juror No. 6 of misleading the court by allegedly failing to be truthful during the jury selection process, per AllHipHop. The prosecution cited an alleged "lack of candor," claiming they were "reluctant" but felt "compelled" to do so. Further details of the alleged dishonesty have not been revealed.

Diddy a/k/a Sean Combs prior to the game between the New England Patriots and the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LII at U.S. Bank Stadium. Matthew Emmons / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images The defense immediately pushed back, noting how juror No. 6 is one of the few Black individuals seated. They asked for time to file a written objection before Judge Arun Subramanian issues a decision. As for what else has happened in Diddy's trial this week, his ex-girlfriend testified anonymously under the pseudonym "Jane." She recalled participating in his alleged freak-offs, accused him of assaulting her, and more. During her testimony yesterday, she even recalled traveling to Las Vegas with another hip-hop "icon" and his wife or girlfriend while she and Diddy were on a break. She alleged that once they landed, they all went to dinner together, then met up later at a hotel. Allegedly, there were seven or eight people there total, and they all watched an unnamed woman have sex with a male escort named Anton. Cassie, Kid Cudi, Dawn Richard, Diddy's former assistant, and more have also taken the stand so far.

Drake Allegedly Told Akademiks The Cops Are Parked On His Street Amid Kendrick Lamar's Arrival In To

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 12:43 GMT

The Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef continues to play out despite it ending over a year ago, which should be no surprise for the two biggest rappers on the planet and their gargantuan fanbases. And last night, the parallels were downright poetic. The reason why is because of Kendrick Lamar's concert in Drake's hometown of Toronto on Thursday (June 12). If there was ever a true "full-circle moment" in the battle, then this is it. It came with plenty of interesting takeaways, fan developments, and narratives, one of which is from DJ Akademiks. As caught by Kurrco on Twitter, the media personality took to his livestream to recount an alleged conversation he had with the 6ix God. He allegedly claimed that Toronto police sent two cars to his block amid K.Dot's arrival in the city. "Actually, I even told Drake I was coming to Toronto," Akademiks alleged concerning Kendrick Lamar's show and Drizzy's response. "Yo, me and Drake talked yesterday. You know what I told that n***a Drake? I said, 'Drake, if you like that, you see how Big Ak popped up at the show? N***a, you pop out at the show.' *laughs* I'm an instigator, I'm an instigator. [...] 'They in your city. Pop out, n***a!' You know what he told me? He said, 'Yo, Ak, they've had two cars on my block since two days ago. Since they know this n***a's coming here.'"

'Pop out and show n***as,' man," Ak went on. "Somebody say I'm cap. Y'all never believe nothing. Why do I even tell y'all s**t? I tell y'all the truth? 'You're lying.' I tell y'all what y'all want to hear? 'He's telling the truth.' Why do y'all even listen to me?" Since The Boy's alleged remarks don't mention cops - and this is an alleged conversation to begin with - take this with a grain of salt. Akademiks has no reason to lie here, but some details are still pretty vague. This joins other narratives around Kendrick Lamar's Drake-dissing Toronto show. Police had to intervene and cancel an OVO takeover of the venue, whereas another cancellation is unrelated to this concert. Drake postponed his livestream going over music video treatments with Kai Cenat, which was supposed to take place while Kendrick took the Rogers Centre stage. He will return tonight (Friday, June 13).

Antonio Brown Wanted For Alleged Attempted Murder After Shooting Outside Of Adin Ross Boxing Event

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 10:38 GMT

Antonio Brown has been hit with a warrant for his arrest in Miami-Dade County, according to All HipHop. Overall, the former NFL superstar is wanted for on an alleged attempted murder charge. The charge stems from an alleged incident last month in which Brown allegedly shot twice at a man outside of an Adin Ross boxing event. According to the report, the man was allegedly punched by Brown before the wide receiver took a security guard's gun and fired. Subsequently, the man told authorities that he was grazed in the neck. Additionally, he identified AB as the alleged shooter. There is cellphone and surveillance footage of the alleged shooting. Furthermore, witnesses identified Brown as the alleged gunman.

Despite being detained by authorities, he was eventually let go. "I was jumped by multiple individuals who tried to steal my jewelry and cause physical harm to me," Brown stated. "Police temporarily detained me until they received my side of the story and then released me. I WENT HOME THAT NIGHT AND WAS NOT ARRESTED. I will be talking to my legal council and attorneys on pressing charges on the individuals that jumped me; I will keep you all posted step-by-step on the process." Once arrested, Brown will be given a $10,000 bond. Moreover, it has been revealed that AB will be subjected to house arrest until trial. So far, the courts have attempted to contact Antonio Brown, but they have been unable to do so. This is a very dark turn of events for the former NFL star. Since his retirement from professional football, he has gone down numerous different paths. Previously, he was employed by Kanye West to spearhead Donda Sports. Furthermore, he found himself making music and performing at Rolling Loud. Now, he must face what could be an extremely strenuous legal process.

Kendrick Lamar Deals Another Blow To Drake As Toronto Fans Beg For A "Not Like Us" Encore

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 10:08 GMT

It's been over a year since Drake and Kendrick Lamar engaged in what was the biggest rap battle since Jay-Z vs. Nas. Overall, Kendrick came out as the winner. "Not Like Us" was a smash hit, and his ensuing Grammy wins solidified his place amongst the greats. As for Drake, he has tried to strike gold with albums like $OME $EXY $ONGS 4 U. Although songs like "Nokia" have been massive successes in their own right, he has yet to recapture his pre-beef magic. Instead, fans have zeroed in on his UMG lawsuit, which could jeopardize the future of rap beef in general. Meanwhile, Kendrick Lamar and SZA were in Toronto last night for the first Canadian stop of their "Grand National Tour." Prior to the show, ticket sales were spiking, making the city one of their highest-grossing stops so far. As you can imagine, Kendrick and SZA put on quite the show. At the end, Lamar played "Not Like Us," and as you can see from the video clips below, the fans were chanting every single word. In fact, the fans demanded an encore when the show was over. While Toronto is Drake's territory, it's clear that Kendrick made his mark last night.

Ultimately, all of this is much to the chagrin of Drake, who would probably rather forget this beef ever happened. However, with Lamar in Toronto, all of those negative feelings are being brought up again. Last night, Drizzy had an opportunity to steal Kendrick's shine. He was supposed to stream with Kai Cenat, however, it ultimately got postponed. Instead, all eyes were on Kendrick, and he clearly did not disappoint. After the show, fans went to New Ho King, where they sang and danced to Kendrick's diss record. Yet another blow to Drake.

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 06:00 GMT

The highly-anticipated Breezy Bowl XX World Tour on the horizon, Chris Brown makes good on his recent promise and releases the new song "Holy Blindfold." It marks his first solo release since 11:11 (Deluxe), which earned him a Grammy for Best R&B Album and produced the platinum-certified hit "Residuals."

The single sets the tone for his new era, reminding fans he's still evolving while staying rooted in R&B's emotional core.

Chris and Bow Wow also have the number-one song right now in "Use Me." Hitmaka revealed that song's success steams from the support of radio. "Use Me" is Bow Wow's first number-one hit in 19 years.

4Batz & Wale Showers Her With Chopped N' Skrewd Love In "When I Get Home"

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 05:52 GMT

4Batz continues to showcase his passion for the oldies mixed with ghetto love in his latest single, "When I Get Home." Adding Wale to the mix, the Texan brings the legendary DMV wordsmith to the syrup-coated production and slows everything down. "When I Get Home" hits like a late-night confession with smooth, raw, and soaked in emotion. Missing their love at home, the two superstars rap about the journey back to the warm embrace of their love interest. When they arrive home, you can bet the neighbors know their names. The beat's soft but heavy, drenched in moody R&B vibes with space for every word to breathe. 4Batz floats over it, turning pain into poetry. "When I Get Home" ain't just a title-it's a mission. He's not just pulling up physically. He's showing up emotionally, ready to fix what he broke. Of course Wale lays the track with poetic wordplay from beginning to end. He shares his wisdom, love, pride, and vulnerability. He dissects the tension only real-life relationships can build. 4Batz keeps it heartbreak-real. Wale brings the soul food bars. Together, they craft a track that's quiet but powerful-proof that vulnerability still hits in hip-hop. The latest track follows a quick tape 4Batz released last month to respond to fans demand for new music.

Smiley & Drake Pull Up With The Throwback Whips In Catchy New Song "2 Mazza"

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 05:17 GMT

Releasing his first album in three years, Don't Box Me In, OVO's Smiley links up with the 6 God for the project's lead single that remembers the good ol' days, titled "2 Mazza." Smiley leads with vivid snapshots of his come-up, rapping over Boi-1da's hypnotic, R&B-inflected beat. He recalls pushing stolen Mazdas, hustling in Toronto's Gaza neighborhood, and making something from nothing at a Ramada Airport motel. Drake's verse mirrors that ascent, walking the line between his early struggles and his present-day opulence. Drizzy's star power doesn't cast a shadow over his protege. Their chemistry displays how Drake continues to champion new voices without diluting his own. The new track fuels the excitement of Smiley's return to the hip-hop landscape after a lengthy absence. While "2 Mazza" is the album's standout, Don't Box Me In signals something deeper. It pushes beyond Toronto's borders and the rap star's past sound. Another breakthough track is "Spill the Tea." Smiley drifts over a hazy Sean Leon and River Tiber sample, waving goodbye to his hometown as he sets his sights on global reach. The project captures Smiley's hunger and refusal to stay confined by expectations. With sharp verses and unexpected textures, he positions himself as a bonafide star. The new project redefines him. Don't Box Me In is the perfect origin point for newfound fans for the OVO act. More: Smiley Basks In The Glory On "Bill" "2 Mazza" - Smiley Ft.

Roddy Ricch Returns To The Race As The Hungry "Underdog" In New Single

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 04:20 GMT

Roddy Ricch has been trying to find his way back to the top of the charts since 2021. 2022's Feed Tha Streets III showed the return of the old Roddy, but "Underdog," his latest track may have him back in the right lane. From the star-studded F1: The Movie soundtrack, Roddy regains that hunger and delivers a cold reminder he came from the mud and made it out solo. Over a smooth, soulful beat, he talks real pain-doubt, hunger, fake love-and flips it into motivation. He wears the underdog title like armor, proving the haters wrong every step. Roddy floats between melody and bars, mixing heartache with hustle. It's not just a flex-it's therapy. Roddy Ricch's ambition on the track matches the film's young and brash hot shot Joshua, played by Damson Idris. Roddy has a lot to prove as many have counted him out after becoming one of the biggest stars in music in 2019. "Underdog" shows a young boss who ain't fold under pressure, who turned Ls into lessons and stayed ten toes through it all. Roddy's story hits hard 'cause it's real-he lived it, survived it, and now he's shining. The new track fuels excitement for Roddy Ricch's forthcoming album, The Navy Album, his third album. The upcoming 18-track album will feature the previously released singles "Lonely Road" and "Survivor's Remorse." Roddy is on his victory lap.

Kim Kardashian Joins Other Celebrities Addressesing Donald Trump Regarding ICE Raids

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 03:16 GMT

Kim Kardashian has joined a wave of public figures speaking out against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, criticizing the agency's forceful deportation tactics under Donald Trump's administration. In a statement posted to Instagram Stories, the reality star and advocate for prison reform condemned ICE's treatment of immigrants and urged a more humane approach. Kim Kardashian and Donald Trump have a history of working together on other legal issues and current events. Though ICE claims its mission targets violent offenders, Kardashian argued their operations too often harm innocent people. "When we see hardworking individuals torn from their families, we have to speak up," she wrote. "It's our responsibility to do what's right." Her message followed a fiery moment at the 2025 BET Awards, where rapper Doechii used her acceptance speech to challenge Trump and ICE. Kardashian reposted the speech, showing support for Doechii's pointed criticism of the government's use of military force during peaceful immigration protests in Los Angeles. "What kind of government sends soldiers when people protest injustice?" Doechii asked, comparing the response to authoritarian regimes. More: SZA Pays Homage To Kim Kardashian's Unforgettable Paper Magazine Pose While Celebrating AMA Wins Kim Kardasians Message To Trump View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk) Kardashian didn't mention Trump by name, but her post clearly rebuked his administration's stance. She reflected on her Los Angeles upbringing, where immigrants shaped neighborhoods, schools, and businesses. "They're not just immigrants," she wrote. "They're our neighbors, classmates, coworkers, and loved ones." She called for unity and compassion, urging people not to let political differences justify cruelty. "Communities thrive because of immigrants," she added. "We can't turn a blind eye to the fear and injustice so many face. There must be a better way." Her remarks come as protests continue in Los Angeles over ICE raids and deportations, many targeting individuals with no criminal history and long-standing ties to their communities. Once known solely for reality television, Kardashian has increasingly used her platform to spotlight social justice issues. Her recent comments highlight a cultural shift where more public figures are challenging policies they believe punish the vulnerable.

While speaking to paparazzi in Miami, Coby casually revealed their plans: "We're getting married. It's gonna be a beautiful marriage. November 2025."

Our families spend a lot of time together, just like we do." Coby's presence, Pippen says, has brought peace to her daily life. "He's teaching me how to slow down," she said. "I'm used to solving all my problems at once. He encourages me to handle things one at a time." Their relationship, she emphasized, is built on mutual understanding and emotional balance. "We're good for each other," she added. "He's grounded, and that energy helps center me." No stranger to headlines or reinvention, Pippen seems more focused than ever. This new chapter isn't just about romance-it's about emotional clarity, stability, and redefining love beyond the spotlight. Marcus Jordan has not commented on Larsa's interview yet.

Keith Sweat Stands On His Today's Women Entitlement Comments After Viral Backlash

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 02:11 GMT

Keith Sweat brushed off online criticism with a groove instead of an apology, sharing a video of himself dancing to Kendrick Lamar's "peekaboo" after comments about "entitled" single women sparked backlash. The 63-year-old R&B icon appeared carefree in the Instagram clip, captioned, "We ain't worried about nothin the haters gotta say. Enjoy life." But in the comment section, Sweat defended his stance. "Y'all tripping. I cook and clean and I don't have to," he wrote. "What's the problem? I said a lot of women don't even do what I do." He added, "If you don't fall into that category, why y'all trippin? Still love y'all anyway. Back to doing my dance." The controversy began during a recent performance, when Sweat criticized women who, in his words, no longer share domestic responsibilities. "You gotta bring something to the table to get something from me," he told the crowd. "They don't want to cook no more. I wash and iron my own clothes. You gotta do something for me." More: Keith Sweat Cements OG Status With "Playing For Keeps" Keith Sweat Entitlement View this post on Instagram A post shared by Keith Sweat (@keithsweat) The comments quickly circulated online, with many labeling them outdated. Critics accused him of echoing misogynistic talking points often found on social media. "If Keith Sweat, with all his fame and hits, still can't find a woman to cook and iron for him, maybe he's the problem," one user posted. Another said, "When did Keith start quoting red pill Twitter?" Rather than walk back his statements, Sweat offered a brief clarification: "I didn't say all. I said a lot of women. Not all. Y'all need to listen lol." The fallout hasn't slowed his posts, but it has reignited larger conversations about gender roles, generational views, and the expectations placed on public figures. A singer once celebrated for romantic sensitivity now faces a digital climate that challenges nostalgic views with sharper scrutiny. Whether his fans agree or not, the moment underscores how quickly personal remarks can turn into public flashpoints in the age of social media.

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 02:05 GMT

The Nike Air Flightposite "Dusty Cactus" brings back one of Nike's most futuristic basketball sneakers with a fresh twist.

It stood out on the court and in streetwear circles alike. This new colorway leans into that same forward-thinking energy, delivering a vibrant finish that looks straight out of a sci-fi film. The Flightposite was famously worn by NBA stars like Kevin Garnett during its original run. It didn't just look different, it performed differently too. Also, with its snug fit and responsive build, it pushed the limits of performance footwear at the time. The "Dusty Cactus" update doesn't change the DNA of the silhouette, it just enhances it. Photos show the sneaker draped in a glowing iridescent upper, shifting between turquoise, teal, and violet depending on the light. It's capped off with a black zippered shroud and small silver Swooshes for contrast. Even 25 years after its debut, the Flightposite still turns heads.

Drake Fans' OVO Takeover At Kendrick Lamar's Toronto Concert Canceled By Police

Posted by itstheboombap — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 00:41 GMT

An OVO takeover was anticipated at Kendrick Lamar's Grand National Tour stop in Toronto to support the hometown hero, Drake. However, the planned gathering was quickly dispersed by Toronto police as concert goers arrived at Rogers Centre. The OVO takeover was meant to be a peaceful gathering in support of the Drizzy. Fans participating in the takeover informed social media that they were forced to leave after authorities received concerning calls. In a statement shared on social media, the organizers of the OVO takeover wrote the following: "Unfortunately, we have to cancel the OVO Takeover. We genuinely just wanted to bring people together, have some fun, and create good vibes for the city. But unfortunately, some people decided to report us, falsely claiming we were planning to "start trouble" or cause chaos. Because of those reports, police were already on high alert and were quick to shut down anything that even looked like a crowd forming - including us." The statement would share that the gathering wasn't expected to draw large numbers. It originally began as a joke that quickly transformed into a movement. It would even draw local media attention. More: Drake Allegedly Threatened Kendrick Lamar & His Team Behind The Scenes OVO Takeover View this post on Instagram A post shared by Watch Live Bitez (@livebitez) "We didn't expect things to blow up the way they did," the organizer wrote. "What started as a joke turned into a full-on movement, and y'all made that happen. Shoutout to the media outlets that pulled up - CTV, CityNews, CP24, Virgin Radio, MuchMusic - and most importantly, shoutout to every single one of you who showed love and made this real." Thankful of the united support of Drake fans across Toronto, the organizer's statement would request fans that attended the gathering to message them on social media and organize another outing. The statement continued: "To make sure your time wasn't wasted, if you pulled up at all, DM us any videos or photos you took - we'll be mailing out hoodies to everyone who came through. Just give us a few days to process everything. We'll also be running a few giveaways over the next couple days to get the rest of the hoodies out. We're honestly disappointed it had to end like this - it was all meant for the culture, for the city, and for the fun of it. But the fact that so many of you cared enough to show up means the world. Thank you for turning something spontaneous into something unforgettable. We'll be back." Kendrick Lamar's Grand National Tour in Toronto has helped the city become one of the top five stops on the tour based on tickets sales, according to StubHub. The OVO takeover's disperse follows the postponement of Drake and Kai Cenat's livestream set for Thursday evening (June 12) at 8 PM EST.

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 12 Jun 2025 23:56 GMT

Claressa Shields issues an open invitation to any woman looking to take a shot at the Queen and throws 100,000 dollars on top of it. While at the BET Awards 2025, the GWOAT sat down with Hollywood Unlocked's Ariela An s to address her issues with Chrisean Rock's sister, Tesehki. "Tesehki came out here tryna challenge that beast," An s tells Shields in the clip. Shields did not acknowledge Tesehki's search as a challenge. She replied, "But was she? I don't know. This is how a 'call-out' goes. You call me out, I say yes. We scap. That's how we do in my hood. I've never had a fight where it's like, 'Oh, if I stop doing XYZ, I could do XYZ... But it's free smoke; that's all I'm sayin'." Not just for Tesehnki, Shields would issue the "free smoke" to any woman with a handsome reward if they beat the GWOAT. "Free smoke for anybody who feel like they can beat me in a fight," Shields tells Ariela An s. "I got a $100k. I wish I had $100k with me I can just throw it on the table. But I got $100k for any girl that think they can whoop me. Street fighter, boxer, MMA. Hey, if you can beat me, I got a $100k for you."

"Naw, she tried to challenge this beast, Bigg Mama," Tesehki comments on the Hollywood Unlocked Instagram post. "I never heard of her until she mentioned me." Fans would flood the social media post with mixed comments about the issues between Shields and Tesehki. A Instagram user would advise that Shields can back up her challenge. They commented: "'all saying she talk a lot... yeah I get it but she can back it up in the ring... idk yall I kinda understand her personality from her bio pic... she grew up with this mentality... she was really forced to be a competitor not just in the ring but in life." Others would express that Shields challenge was beneath her. "I like Claressa," commented a fan of the GWOAT. "However.. Sometimes you just have to move on and not entertain certain questions."

Even StubHub wants to get in on the Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef. StubHub revealed that ticket spiked on Thursday afternoon (June 12) for Kendrick Lamar's Grand National Tour at Toronto's Rogers Centre. In a X post, the company announced that Kendrick's tour has made Toronto one of the top five best-selling cities. The new record was based on total ticket sold.

The two exchanged chart-topping diss tracks towards each other, including "Euphoria," "Family Matters," and "Not Like Us." Lamar would release the GNX album at the end of the year. Kendrick's Toronto stop on the tour includes a two-night event co-headlined by SZA. The new Toronto record follows Wednesday's announcement of the Grand National Tour headed to Australia this summer. Kendrick Lamar has broken concert attendance records cities across the nation, including Dallas, Los Angeles, and Seattle.

Kai Cenat & Drake Postpone Their Stream Together Much To The Chagrin Fans

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 12 Jun 2025 23:04 GMT

Mentioning previous cancelations by Drake, an X user commented, "Damn got his Australian tour cancelled Now his Stream with Kai got cancelled. Buddy been having a horrible 2 years." Another fan blamed the postponement on Kai Cenat speaking to Kendrick Lamar at the BET Awards. They wrote: "When kai dapped kendrick and druski stood on business i knew that shit wasn't happening no mo." A fan would claim the postponement was a result of the lack in fan excitement after it was announced. "The reaction to his announcement was of pity and laughter," commented the fan. "It didn't get the explosive excitement he was hoping for. Didn't stop Kendricks name from floating online. Oh I dance. That show I'll probably never happen!" The postponement coincides with Kendrick Lamar's Grand National Tour rolling into Drake's hometown of Toronto, Canada, for a two-night concert. The tour also features co-headliner SZA.

K Michelle Checks Journalist Over Lack Of Knowledge On Singer's Country Roots

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 12 Jun 2025 22:09 GMT

Hailing from Memphis, K Michelle has been attempting to showcase her country music roots for years, with little to no success or acknowledgment from the genre. An issue that continues til this day. At the 2025 CMA Fest, K Michelle corrected an interviewer who implied she hadn't grown up with country music. Featured in a CMA Fest: American Songwriters segment, the Memphis-born singer made it clear that her country roots run deep. "I did grow up in country music," she said. "I'm from Memphis, Tennessee. I got a scholarship for yodeling - that's how I paid for college. I didn't fly here - I grew here." Michelle has long battled assumptions about her place in the genre. She recalled one of her earliest recordings - a cover of The Judds' "Love Can Build a Bridge." The Judd family invited her to perform the song in honor of the late Naomi Judd, a moment that signified recognition in a space that rarely embraces Black women. More: The History Of K.

Michelle didn't grow up in country music.

"I was told I didn't belong in country music because I'm Black," she said. "You don't hear many women on country radio - and you really don't hear Black women. But you're about to." She also previewed her upcoming country album, her first full-length in the genre. The project leans into bluegrass and classic influences, drawing inspiration from artists like Toby Keith, Alison Krauss, and The Judds. Michelle said her sound doesn't follow the current pop-country trend but instead embraces the music she grew up loving. "There's a lot of pop-country out right now," she said. "But mine is the version I grew up on - it leans more toward bluegrass." K Michelle's presence at CMA Fest is more than promotion. It's a statement of belonging. She's not breaking into country music - she's reclaiming a space that's always been part of her story. For K Michelle, Country music was always her first option but her career took off in R&B. She told EBONY, "It was never my second option. [Country music] was always my first because that's who I am."

WWE's Triple H Says Cardi B Is Super Excited About Hosting SummerSlam, Answers In-Ring Curiosity

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 12 Jun 2025 21:42 GMT

Cardi B is very excited to join the WWE Universe, as confirmed by CCO Triple H. He mentioned that the Bronx rap star is actively involved in her hosting role for the upcoming two-night WWE Summerslam event in August. Her heavy involvement has come with questions about possibly participating in in-ring performances by the media. At the Money In The Bank post-presser, Triple H didn't confirm that Cardi B will wrestle but acknowledged her capabilities. "I don't know if anybody can control Cardi B, let me just start with that," Triple H tells Billboard. "So if she wants to, I think it's going to be hard to talk her out of it. And then what can we expect? Who the hell knows. The one thing I know about Cardi is, whatever she's going to do, is what she's going to do. And you're sort of kind of just hanging on to the tiger's tail a little bit there. So she's a lot of fun to work with. Has been so far with this." After acknowledging her capabilities, Triple H recognized Cardi's excitement to host Summerslam's first-ever two-night event as a longtime fan. Answering the second part of Billboard's question, he continued: More: WWE's Triple H Reveals Origin Of His Finisher, The Pedigree: Watch Cardi B WWE Summerslam Triple H was asked if we could see Cardi B in the ring at SummerSlam this year.

I think, as everybody knows, she's a big fan and has, you know, talked a lot about the business over the years and all that stuff and comments on it a lot. So when you work with people like that, it's exciting. We'll see, we'll see where that goes. But we're thrilled to be working with her. You know, there's a lot of artists out there across so many different things now that are just, they're fans and looking to come in and do things with us, and we'll vet through them and try to figure out the ones that can do the most and be a positive for our fan base, and just help to expand the product out beyond the realm of just wrestling fans, and get the rest of the world into what we're doing." Cardi B's past with WWE has been eventful. In 2021, she went on a Twitter rant after being unexpectedly mentioned on an episode of WWE Smackdown. She also got into a back-and-forth with former WWE superstar Lacey Evans on Twitter, now X, with the two ready to come to blows. Water under the bridge, Cardi's involvement with the WWE only expands the world of possibilities for pop culture, as it submerges itself in the WWE product. WWE's Summerslam will take place at Met-Life Stadium on August 2-3 in New Jersey.

Fetty Wap Clemency Petition Gains Traction As Fans Demand Prison Release

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 12 Jun 2025 21:06 GMT

Last month, ahead of the release of his new single "Forever," Fetty Wap's team announced a petition to get the performer released from prison. He pled guilty to federal drug charges in 2023 after getting arrested in 2021. He was later sentenced to six years in prison. "His freedom was taken, but not his voice," their social media post read. "A raw, emotional track straight from Fetty Wap's heart. This isn't just music - it's his truth, his story, and his fight. The petition to help Fetty fight for a pardon and his freedom is live now ... Let's bring our brother home." According to Hot 97, the petition is gaining traction, as fans continue to support his push for clemency. While Fetty Wap's case takes center stage in this case, the fight for his freedom isn't just about him, but rather the system as a whole.

Geoff Burke / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images "Contrary to widespread headlines, Fetty Wap was not convicted of trafficking multiple drugs or running an empire," the petition states. "He admitted to one count. That's the only charge he's serving time for." The increase in support for Fetty Wap comes just months after his sister Divinity Maxwell-Butts advocated for his release in a heartfelt Instagram post. In it, she emphasized that her brother is behind bars for a nonviolent offense, and will miss out on valuable time with his family as a result. "April is Second Chance Month - a time to recognize that people deserve redemption, not just punishment," she wrote at the time. "My brother has taken responsibility and served over half his sentence for a nonviolent offense. He is scheduled to be released in 2027, but justice should also mean mercy. His sentence should be commuted so he can come home to his family, his children, and his purpose. It's time. #PardonFetty #SecondChanceMonth #BringHimHome - Divinity Maxwell-Butts."

Tracy T Seemingly Shades Kash Doll's New Boyfriend After BET Awards Pop-Out

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 12 Jun 2025 21:02 GMT

Kash Doll and Tracy T went through a pretty nasty public breakup recently, although that's only because the latter continues to speak on the former's new relationship. She's now with Za'Darius Smith, and they recently popped out together during the 2025 BET Awards. As caught by The Neighborhood Talk on Instagram, Tracy seemed to shade Smith and his outfit for the occasion in a social media video. While he doesn't name any explicit names, it's pretty easy for fans to read between the lines and understand what he allegedly, albeit probably, means. "[Why] the BET Awards is something that a n***a can't go to?" Tracy T remarked about Kash Doll's new man. "Y'all act like I ain't reachable. Like, who the f**k y'all think y'all talking to? Man, who y'all think I am, man? Y'all think I'm f***ed up for love. Y'all think I'm starving for love. Man, y'all crazy, man. Y'all got to get out of here, man. I might as well put on a leather vest with no shirt on, walk around, and look like that if y'all think that." "They go with what everybody got, everybody had," he added. "See me, I'ma pop out with something you never seen. Richer than all that little s**t. [...] You don't know nothing about mine. You don't know nothing about what I got going on."

"F**k that, I don't give a damn, man," he shared online earlier this year. "I had two babies come out of that motherf***er." But Tracy T wants Kash Doll fans to quit. They have been sending him a lot of messages online, even at times when he's not speaking on the matter at all. "Y'all still talking about that?" Tracy remarked during a IG Live session. "Man, let that go. Y'all miserable. Y'all don't care about no music, no real life. Just messy." We will see if there are any more chapters to this saga, as Kash Doll has cheating allegations to handle. For now, though, she hasn't really given this much time online, but we'll see if that changes.

Diddy's Ex-Girlfriend Alleges She Witnessed Another Rapper's Freak-Off

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 12 Jun 2025 20:37 GMT

In September of last year, Diddy was arrested, and he now faces charges related to alleged sex trafficking and racketeering. He's currently behind bars at the Metroplitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, and last month, his anxiously awaited trial finally began. So far, various individuals have taken the stand. This includes Cassie, Kid Cudi, Dawn Richard, and more. This week, his ex-girlfriend has also taken the stand anonymously under the pseudonym "Jane." She's detailed her experience participating in his alleged freak-offs, accused him of assault, and more. Today, she even recalled going on a trip with another hip-hop "icon" and his wife or girlfriend, though she didn't name any names. According to her, she and Diddy were on a break at the time.

Robert Hanashiro / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Allegedly, they all flew to Las Vegas together for a birthday party and met up with a male escort named Anton when they landed. They proceeded to go to dinner, and then later that night, they allegedly met up again in a hotel room. Allegedly, there were around 7 or 8 people there in total, and they all watched an unnamed woman have sex with Anton. "The rapper you mentioned, he was close with Mr. Combs?" Diddy's lawyer Teny Geragos asked Jane, per XXL. "Yes," she responded. Geragos followed up, asking, "This rapper, they would record together, he's also an icon in the music industry?" Again, Jane said "Yes." On the stand, Jane alleged that the mystery rapper told her she was attractive and tried to hook up with her. She says nothing physical happened between them, and revealed that she flashed her breasts to whoever was in the room. "He said something like he thought I was beautiful and always wanted to 'blank' me," she alleged.

Shannon Sharpe Claps Back At Nicki Minaj Diss With An Explanation

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 12 Jun 2025 20:31 GMT

Shannon Sharpe has big allegations to deal with, but an unexpected bit of online drama emerged that has nothing to do with that. Nicki Minaj recently dissed him on the new "Banned From NO" remix alongside her Young Money mentor Lil Wayne. As it turns out, the situation is a bit more complex than Nicki or Shannon assumed. Basically, the Trinidadian femcee's diss comes from an old tweet of Shannon Sharpe's in which a fan told him that Nicki wanted to be on his podcast. "Nicki who?" he replied, which made a lot of Barbz angry for his perceived disrespect. But The Shade Room on Instagram caught clips of the former NFL player explaining this on his Nightcap podcast after "Banned From NO" dropped. Apparently, he was having a lot of social media debates about politician Nikki Haley at the time, so he was legitimately asking for clarification. "I was talking about Nikki Haley," Shannon Sharpe remarked concerning the Nicki Minaj diss. "Nikki Haley said something... So I'm talking about Nikki Haley. So somebody said, 'Nicki really wants to come on your podcast.' How am I supposed to - I'm talking about Nikki Haley. I'm like, 'Nicki who?' It'd be like, 'Ocho, aye, Unc know about them sports!' People gon' say, 'Unc who?' It might be Snoop Dogg, it might be me.

Nicki, I apologize. I meant no disrespect. You always have an open invitation if you ever want to come sit down and have a conversation. Even if you just want to have a private conversation on the phone or something." Hardcore fans likely remember that this isn't Shannon Sharpe and Nicki Minaj's first media crossover. He previously questioned why her beef with Megan Thee Stallion began, which led to a viral discussion. We'll see if the superstar responds to this clarification with forgiveness...

Deitrick Haddon Admits He's Disappointed GloRilla Won BET Gospel Award

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 12 Jun 2025 20:09 GMT

Earlier this week, gospel singer Deitrick Haddon took to social media to express his disappointment with the BET Awards' Best Gospel/Inspirational Artist of 2025. GloRilla took home the award thanks to her song "Rain Down On Me" featuring Kirk Franklin, Maverick City Music, Kierra Sheard, and Chandler Moore. According to Haddon, this is an indicator that the entire gospel music industry is in serious need of an overhaul. "The gospel music industry needs an overhaul. Period," he explained in a video shared by The Shade Room. "After last night's show, it's an indicator that we just need a complete reset." "It's hard to watch the Bobby Jones Gospel Award being given to somebody that's not in our space," he continued. "No disrespect to the artist, but that's not the space she's in." Haddon went on in his caption, venting his frustrations with the current state of the gospel industry. Read More: GloRilla Teams Up With Keyshia Cole For A Stunning Performance Of "Typa" At The BET Awards GloRilla BET Awards 2025 View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom) "We can't keep honoring the same few people every year and expect the genre to grow," he wrote. "I've heard the cries behind the scenes. People are tired. The culture is shifting, but the system is stuck. Gospel music deserves better. The next generation deserves better. We all do." Haddon's take has earned mixed reactions from social media users. While some believe that he has a solid point, others are coming to Glo's defense. "I agree .. there was NO reason she should've won a gospel award it's so many young gospel singers that could've gotten the recognition," one Instagram user writes. "That song is good and features Kirk Franklin. Get over it! Sinners have soul too!" another claims. At the time of writing, GloRilla has not responded to Haddon's remarks. "It's a blessing to get the Gospel award first because I owe it all to God," she said onstage while accepting her award. "Shout out to Kirk Franklin. I'm not gon' lie, I was kind of scared to ask him for a feature on this song because ya'll know how I be rapping. When he said 'yes,' I was so excited, I had this song in the vault for so long."

Bow Wow Reveals Why Ciara Didn't Perform "Like You" With Him At The BET Awards

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 12 Jun 2025 19:55 GMT

Bow Wow performed his 2005 hit song, "Like You," featuring Ciara at the BET Awards on Monday night in celebration of the ceremony's the 106 & Park reunion. However, he didn't bring the iconic singer to the stage with him to do so, despite her being in attendance. The situation led to speculation on social media that Ciara may have rejected his offer to do so, but that appears not to be the case. Speaking with TMZ after the show, Bow Wow revealed that he didn't even realize Ciara was at the event until afterward. "I didn't know she was in the building," he admitted. "I been in my trailer all day, I been in rehearsals, hosting red carpets, but I will say that it would've been a wonderful moment. I know she was in attendance ... well, I didn't know that until I got off stage and went back to my trailer and checked Twitter (now X)." Fans on social media were skeptical about Bow Wow's explanation. "I'm sure she declined, she's happy and thriving in life with a great husband. Weird behavior from him," one user commented when The Neighborhood Talk shared the news. Another user wrote: "Either way, he really held it down & did his thing. Super impressed, especially bc we're all so much older now. Energy was definitely there."

The song peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100. He and Ciara were dating at the time. As for the rest of the 106 & Park reunion, it was a headline-grabbing affair. The show originally broadcast on weekdays on BET from 2000 to 2014. Bow Wow served as a host from 2012 to 2014.

Kendrick Lamar Cosigns Emerging New Orleans Rapper La Reezy

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 12 Jun 2025 19:02 GMT

There was a lot of conversation about Kendrick Lamar putting other Los Angeles rappers on GNX last year, but his cosigns aren't limited by region. New Orleans MC La Reezy recently took to his Instagram to share a picture with K.Dot, seemingly at the 2025 BET Awards. "Shoutout God fa aligning this, shoutout the Goat kendrick, my biggest inspo," the young and emerging lyricist captioned his post. He also included the words Kendrick shared with him: "ay boy i be seeing yo stuff, you hard, you representing new orleans good, keep it up." A lot of fans were very happy to see this wholesome moment, as it's always nice to see rappers show love to one another. That's especially true when the established superstars are putting the next generation on. Of course, the irony here is how the Drake battle showed off pretty much everything except the Compton lyricist's nice side. Jokes aside, we'll see how this builds La Reezy's career further and whether or not a collab is in the works. Kendrick Lamar's busy touring right now, but an on-wax link-up could be huge, as unlikely as it seems right now.

pic.twitter.com/n4eqRiuNC5 — . (@oklamasmorale) June 12, 2025 For those unfamiliar with La Reezy, he fortunately has the perfect way for you to get started. He just released his Welcome To La Reezyana Vol. 1 project earlier this year, and we would highly recommend giving it a spin. Reezy's palpable passion, his compelling and gritty lyricism, and his fiery flows make it easy to see why the pgLang creative would see the greatness within. But the aforementioned ironies don't stop there, as this cosign indirectly brought up Kendrick Lamar's complex relationship with New Orleans' titan. There has already been a lot of discourse about the Lil Wayne situation, and after the release of Tha Carter VI, fans can't help but raise suspicions. However, that's purely speculative, and probably has absolutely nothing to do with La Reezy's talents or Kendrick Lamar's acknowledgement of them. It's just funny how the plot keeps thickening for us tinfoil hat wearers. Hopefully more huge artists keep giving back to the newcomers.

She is the third woman to ever win the award following Lauryn Hill and Cardi B. "Alligator Bites Never Heal will be a year old in like 2 months yall... time really flew by," the TDE signee shared on Instagram. "Who woulda thought the Swamp Sessions would've got me this far, maybe it's time to bring em back idkkk." For those unaware, Doechii's "Swamp Session" series on YouTube is a challenge for which she wrote and recorded various songs in an hour. These included Alligator Bites highlights like "BULLFROG," "CATFISH," and "BOOM BAP" along with non-mixtape tracks like "FLORIDA WATA" and "SUNDAY'S BEST." It served as a main promotional lead-up to that project.

pic.twitter.com/kx1F10n0au — (@doechiifiles) June 11, 2025 As such, a lot of fans are really excited about this tease of a "Swamp Sessions" comeback, especially because of its previous context. Folks wonder whether or not the same will happen for Doechii's debut studio album, which everyone is very excited to hear. We have no idea when it will come out or pretty much any details around it, but we know it's on the way. However, maybe a "Swamp Session" approach doesn't fit as best with an album format when compared to its mixtape origins. Nevertheless, it would likely results in some fire loosies from her, which would be a treat for fans. Meanwhile, as Doechii's big hits like "Anxiety" continue to make waves, we can only imagine how this development could sharpen future "Swamp Sessions." Whether or not they relate to a record's rollout, it's a very simple yet sweet idea for any artist to tackle. Maybe the return of the series could give fans even more of an inside look into her creativity.

Grammys Make Major Change To Country Category After Beyonc 's Historic Win

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 12 Jun 2025 18:24 GMT

The Grammys are introducing a new way of awarding country music's top artists for the 68th annual ceremony in 2026. The typical Best Country Album category will be renamed Best Contemporary Country Album. Additionally, there will be a new Best Traditional Country Album category. It will be the only new music category. The change comes after Beyonce became the first Black artist ever to win Best Country Album, earlier this year. She did so with her project, Cowboy Carter. Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. told Billboard: "The community of people that are making country music in all different subgenres came to us with a proposal and said we would like to have more variety in how our music is honored. They said, we think we need more space for our music to be celebrated and honored." Country isn't the first genre to receive a "contemporary" and "traditional" distinction at the Grammy Awards. R&B, pop and blues already differentiate themselves in the same way. "It makes country parallel with what's happening in other genres," Mason noted. "But it is also creating space for where this genre is going." As for how traditional country is classified, the definition for the new category reads: "This category recognizes excellence in albums of traditional country music, both vocal and instrumental. Traditional country includes country recordings that adhere to the more traditional sound structures of the country genre, including rhythm and singing style, lyrical content, as well as traditional country instrumentation such as acoustic guitar, steel guitar, fiddle, banjo, mandolin, piano, electric guitar, and live drums. It also includes sub-genres such as Western, Western Swing, and Outlaw country." Read More: Beyonce Finally Wins Album Of The Year At The Grammys As "Cowboy Carter" Shines Beyonce's "Cowboy Carter" Grammy View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk) Mason concluded: "People from that community are making more music, it's more varied, there's different styles of writing and performing. I'm hopeful that that community understands that the academy is doing what it always does, which is stay in tune with what's happening in their genre." Regardless of the explanation, users on social media have been quick to assume the change is a response to Beyonce's success at the latest ceremony. "So basically best country white album and best country black album," one top comment on The Neighborhood Talk's post about the news reads. Another adds: "They will ALWAYS change the rules when we win."

The Grammys Announce New Best Album Cover Category For 2026 Ceremony

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 12 Jun 2025 18:02 GMT

The 2026 Grammys will take place on February 1 of next year in Los Angeles, but it won't be exactly the same as it was in 2025. According to Variety, the Recording Academy announced other key dates, changes, and new categories for the 2026 Grammy Awards ceremony. One of the big ones causing conversations online is the new addition of the Best Album Cover category. After the Academy's annual board meeting, they combined the previously existing Best Recording Package and Best Boxed or Special Limited Edition Package categories into one. The winner of the former category this year was Charli XCX with BRAT, whereas John Lennon's Mind Games took home the latter. But this Best Album Cover category is brand-new and separate from those packaging categories, focusing strictly on the artwork. Many fans have other logistical questions as to how this will play out. Is the pool of eligible albums comprised of nominees in other categories or is it open season for any submitted artwork? We will see once more Grammys updates emerge with more elaboration on this change. "The Academy's top priority is to represent the music people that we serve each year," the Recording Academy's CEO Harvey Mason Jr. stated. "That entails listening carefully to our members to make sure our rules and guidelines reflect today's music and allow us to accurately recognize as many deserving creators as possible. As we kick off another exciting GRAMMY Season, we look forward to celebrating the amazing power of music and its ability to bring so many people together."

Which album cover deserved to win a GRAMMY in the past?

pic.twitter.com/3oFeIVIZsZ — Kurrco (@Kurrco) June 12, 2025 As for other key dates for the 2026 Grammys, the Recording Academy will announce nominees on November 7 of this year. The eligibility period of musical releases for the February 1, 2026 ceremony is from August 31 of last year to August 30 of this year. That eligibility period opens the door for various late 2024 albums to win big in 2026, including GNX from Kendrick Lamar. We'll see how that actually pans out. After all, 2025's ceremony was quite controversial for unexpected reasons. But it was also a huge year for long-awaited successes and celebrations, so we'll see where 2026 lands on that spectrum.

Quadeca Evokes Gorgeous Nostalgia On New Single "FORGONE"

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 12 Jun 2025 17:30 GMT

Quadeca is an incredibly accomplished rapper and producer, but hip-hop is not his only main love. He's apparently going to go deep into folk, ballad, and chamber pop even more on his new album Vanisher, Horizon Scraper. It comes out this July, and its latest single "FORGONE" is its most grand offering yet. The Los Angeles native's new song is a near-8-minute piano-led odyssey that gorgeously arranges background vocals, various stringed instruments, wind instruments, and an invigorating drum outro into a thoroughly melancholic experience. Lyrically, it seems to be about some sort of lost relationship, and the music video carries that sense of isolation. In comparison to previous singles, this is even more dramatic than the gorgeous "MONDAY" and even less of a hip-hop fusion than "GODSTAINED." If anything, it shows off the variety and versatility of this artist and the orchestrally dense direction that is following 2022's I Didn't Mean To Haunt You. Quadeca wowed the world with SCRAPYARD last year, and that wasn't even a full-on album from him. Following that uncompromising entry into more visible spaces, we're in for a more conceptual experience with Vanisher, Horizon Scraper. If "FORGONE" is anything to go by, then longtime and new fans alike will discover a lot through this record. As for what it will actually contain, who knows? The only thing fully tying these singles together is an immaculate attention to production detail, captivating songwriting, and an unbridled sense of passion. We can't think of a better, richer recipe for this upcoming album.

Diddy's Ex-Girlfriend "Jane" Recalls Unnamed Woman Having Sex In Front Of Group At Party

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 12 Jun 2025 17:29 GMT

Diddy's long-awaited federal trial continues, and today, one of his ex-girlfriends took the stand once again. The woman in question is testifying anonymously under the pseudonym "Jane." So far, she's detailed her experience participating in his alleged freak-offs, accused him of assaulting her, and more. Most recently, she recalled attending a party in Las Vegas while she and Diddy were on break, per TMZ. Jane claims that she was invited by a rap icon, who she didn't name, and his wife or girlfriend. She claims they all flew there in the rapper's private plane, and alleges that they met up with a male escort named Antoine when they arrived. Jane says they all went to dinner together and then met up again later in the evening in a hotel room. Allegedly, seven or eight people were there in total, and they all watched an unnamed woman sleep with Antoine.

Jane alleges that after this, the unnamed rapper tried to hook up with her, but nothing ended up happening between them. Allegedly, however, she did flash her breasts to whoever was in the hotel room. During Jane's testimony, she expressed frustrations with how her relationship with Diddy played out, revealing how his public fling with Yung Miami made her feel. "I didn't sign up to date a man that was in a public relationship," she explained. She also recalled the moment she began to assume the Bad Boy founder was allegedly bisexual. According to her, it was when she began researching the term "cuckhold" after he allegedly watched her sleep with multiple other men. Jane says that based on her findings, she started to suspect that his alleged fetish could have a deeper meaning. "The cuck derives pleasure from seeing his woman receive pleasure from another man," she explained on the stand. "They could [also] be curious about bisexuality but ashamed to express themselves."

50 Cent's New Docuseries Leads To Chilling Confession From Alleged Killer's Daughter

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 12 Jun 2025 16:36 GMT

Earlier this week, the 50 Cent-produced docuseries The Gilgo Beach Killer: House of Secrets premiered on Peacock. It features Victoria Heuermann, the daughter of Rex Heuermann, who's been charged for allegedly killing seven women and dumping their bodies along a parkway on Long Island. The final episode of the docuseries includes a statement, revealing Victoria's take on her father's alleged crimes. "A week before the series release, Victoria Heuermann told the producers that based on publicly available facts that have been presented and explained to her, she now believes her father is most likely the Gilgo Beach killer," it reads, per AllHipHop. The Gilgo Beach case dates back to 1996 and was considered unsolved until Heuermann's 2023 arrest. He's since pleaded not guilty and is scheduled to appear in court on June 17. The shocking confession comes just a few days after 50 Cent teased yet another series based on an ongoing legal saga.

It also comes amid Fif's own legal battle with Ryan Kavanaugh, Skill House Movie LLC, and GenTV LLC. He filed a lawsuit against them in April of this year over the unreleased horror film Skill House, which he appears in and produced. He alleges that he never signed a contract related to his involvement in the film and that he was never paid. "They claim I'm a producer," he alleges. "But I had no control, no input, and no payment. Neither has my son." Earlier this month, he asked a Los Angeles court to block the film's July 11 release. The lawsuit followed weeks of online trolling from 50 Cent, who targeted Kavanaugh in various social media posts. "This guy Ryan Kavanaugh is doing everything in his power to make me kill this movie," he wrote on Instagram. "This one is going in the trash CAN!"

Dr. Khalid Muhammad's Estate Goes After Public Enemy, Ice Cube & More Over Unlicensed Samples

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 12 Jun 2025 16:35 GMT

The estate of Dr. Khalid Muhammad is targeting several hip-hop artists, including Public Enemy, Ice Cube, and more, as well as major record labels for allegedly using unlicensed samples of his words without payment. In turn, the estate is seeking $5 million per infringement in addition to the coverage of legal fees and a permanent injunction to halt further use, according to a new report from AllHipHop. They previously filed a similar lawsuit against 2Pac's estate over the 1996 song "White Man'z World." The attorney representing the estate, Malik Zulu Shabazz, said: "These lawsuits are not an attack on Public Enemy, Tupac's family or D'Angelo. They are about accountability. The record labels and music corporations exploited Khalid Muhammad's voice for profit, just like they've done to the Black artists whose songs featured him. Most of these artists don't even own the rights to their own music. They've been exploited too." Among the songs in question are D'Angelo and The Vanguard's "1000 Deaths," as well as Public Enemy's "Night of the Living Baseheads," and more tracks by Ice Cube, Common, and Black Thought. The estate wants any documentation proving there were licensing or royalty agreements with Muhammad.

Watch Video on YouTube Khalid Muhammad was a popular activist who served as a prominent figure in the Nation of Islam in the 1980s. Louis Farrakhan removed him from his position in the organization after an infamously controversial speech at Kean College in 1993. He died unexpectedly of a brain aneurysm in 2001 at the age of 53. Shabazz further argued that Muhammad's contributions helped fundamentally shape the legacy of the records in question. "Khalid Muhammad should have received proper credit on these iconic records," he said. "His legacy matters. These funds will be used to fulfill his mission through schools, books, training academies, and documentaries about his life and message." Shabazz concluded by targeting President Donald Trump. "Trump cut funding for African American institutions," he concluded. "So, the family is building their own. This is about mission, not just money. The industry has profited off his words for decades. That era of exploitation ends now."

Snoop Dogg Gives Jonathan Daviss His Flowers For Portraying The Rapper In Upcoming Biopic

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 12 Jun 2025 15:57 GMT

Snoop Dogg is one of the most legendary rappers of all time, so of course he was going to get a biopic at some point. The film is currently in development from Universal Pictures and Death Row Pictures following the latter's NBCUniversal deal, and stars Jonathan Daviss as the iconic MC. Per Deadline, Craig Brewer of Hustle & Flow and Coming 2 America fame will direct, whereas Snoop, Brian Grazer, and Death Row Pictures president Sara Ramaker are producing. As caught by AllHipHop, Entertainment Tonight asked Snoop and his future on-screen counterpart about the movie. "Jonathan is the whole thing, man," the Death Row lyricist remarked. "He's a dynamic actor, he's a great spirit, and he's a learner. He's able to take things and make it better. Just to have him around me and to see how he engulfs the spirit. How my family gravitates to him. Just a beautiful thing to be able to find somebody that can actually do justice to you while you're still here and able to see it." "Man, playing a character like Dogg, he's an icon," Daviss expressed concerning Snoop Dogg and his ventures. "He's so many things. But I really wanted to get down to who he was as a person. Like, a loving person and why people gravitate towards him and what that is about him. It's been amazing just getting to explore that as an actor. I can't wait for y'all to see what we do."

The rapper remarked that the film will tackle his evolution and teachings, what he learned, and what kind of person he is. Also, the interviewer asked about Snoop Dogg's BET Awards honor, as he received the Ultimate Icon Tribute Award. "Love conquers all," he remarked of folks celebrating him despite recent backlash. "Through the hate, you got to find the way to push love. And that's what I've always been able to do. My grandmother always told me my work will continue to speak for me. Many can speak on me or try to speak about me. But my work is gon' speak for me." In addition, the Long Beach legend celebrated his peers and the next generation at the BET Awards. The interviewer also asked Snoop's wife Shante Broadus about Jonathan Daviss' casting. For the record, Shante and the rest of the team doesn't know who's playing her in the biopic yet. Her dream casting is Gail Bean.

Silento Breaks Silence After Getting Sentenced To 30 Years In Prison For Killing His Cousin

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 12 Jun 2025 15:47 GMT

Silento's team has put out a statement on his behalf, after he pleaded guilty but mentally ill to charges related to the 2021 killing of his cousin, Frederick Rooks. In the statement, he thanks his fans for their continued support and promises to continue making music behind bars. Silento is best-known for his viral 2015 single "Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)." "I will continue to make music and work on becoming the best possible version of myself," he wrote, as caught by The Shade Room. He added: "I can't reverse time, but I can serve the time I've been given lawfully, and strive to positively contribute to whatever my new environment may be. I entered this industry as a teenager, often without proper guidance or direction. While that is not an excuse, it is part of my truth. I pray for growth, evolution, and the ability to find forgiveness-for myself and for this entire situation. God bless y'all." Silento's attorney, Keith Adams, elaborated on his mental illness while speaking with Billboard after the sentencing on Wednesday. "For the first time since he's been arrested, Ricky is in his right mind, and he's in a place where he has a full understanding of everything that happened and what brought him here. He's been dealing with mental illness since the age of 12, and it's unfortunate that it ended that way," Adams said. "We think the outcome is appropriate, and we look forward to continued improvement in his mental health."

Instead, he's got charges of voluntary manslaughter, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, and concealing the death of another. The manslaughter charge contributed 20 years to his sentence, while aggravated assault and firearm possession each netted him another five. He already has time served dating back to 2021.

Women Suing Top Dawg Entertainment Can Proceed With Doxxing Allegations

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 12 Jun 2025 15:44 GMT

In January of this year, Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE) was hit with a lawsuit filed by two women. The women came forward anonymously to allege that they experienced sexual harassment, assault, and more during their time working for the label. One of the women accuses Anthony "Moosa" Tiffith Jr. of sexual harassment. She also accuses Chief Marketing Officer Brandon "Big B" Tiffith of sexual battery and trying to sleep with her. The other woman alleges that she was coerced into drinking alcohol and sexually exploited by one employee, David Harrell. She alleges that other employees sexually assaulted and harassed her on multiple other occasions. TDE is accused of ignoring these alleged incidents when they were brought to their attention. Shortly after the lawsuit was filed, TDE's lawyer Marty Singer released a statement in response. He vehemently denied the allegations on the label's behalf, exposing the women's identities in the process. "This is a clear example of a shakedown lawsuit by [anonymous women] who made a demand of $48 million through their attorneys on fabricated claims and whose attorneys are looking for their ten minutes of fame," he alleged. "There are text messages and communications that totally refute these baseless claims. Additionally, [anonymous women] were never employees of Top Dawg Entertainment. We are confident that we will prevail in this action." The women later amended the lawsuit to include new allegations of doxxing.

(Photo by Jerritt Clark/Getty Images) "Plaintiffs initially filed this lawsuit under the pseudonyms Jane Doe and Jane Roe, fearing for their reputations and safety if their names were publicly revealed," the suit alleges. "On information and believe, Defendant TDE released a public statement to multiple news outlets on February 1, 2025 through a representative stating that this was a 'shakedown lawsuit by [anonymous women]' thus revealing Plaintiff's names to the public." Yesterday (June 11), the women secured a small win in court. According to Rolling Stone, the judge ruled that they could proceed with their doxxing allegations.

Tokyo Toni Pops Off On A Heckling Stranger Questioning Her Celebrity Status During Live

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 12 Jun 2025 15:17 GMT

Tokyo Toni doesn't play around, and all of her antics relating to her daughter Angela White (formerly known as Blac Chyna) have built her a strong Internet profile. As such, when people get around to questioning this, she doesn't hold back. As caught by The Neighborhood Talk on Instagram, Tokyo was in her car hosting a social media live session when a man out of the frame started to throw disparaging comments her way. She clapped back by claiming the building in front of them and telling the heckler about her famous status. When the man retorted by saying she's "an unknown driving an Altima," Toni got scathing and eventually pulled over, got out of the car, and ended the live. We don't know what else happened beyond this point or what other context we might be missing here. But either way, it's just the latest example of the reality TV star and social media personality making her strong stances clear and defending herself against the haters. Fortunately for Tokyo Toni, she has better updates to celebrate in 2025. She recently soft-launched a possible relationship with another partner, although this is just a speculative social media interpretation based on some Internet posts. Read More: "Jane" Admits She Used Diddy's Alleged Freak-Offs To Her Advantage How Old Is Tokyo Toni? View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk) However, Tokyo Toni's online rifts aren't always with strangers, but also with fellow famous faces. For example, she recently called GloRilla a clout chaser when it comes to Beyonc , and it actually resulted in a clap-back. "Somebody call animal control," Glo responded to Toni's remarks. This was about the two female artists' interactions at the 2025 Grammys. Elsewhere, the 53-year-old is just keeping tabs on her family updates. Tokyo Toni's granddaughter recently seemed to shade her with Angela White, although she quickly cleared things up. "Dream Kardashian did not disrespect her grandmama," Toni expressed. "She treated it as the f**k she should. It's social media, it's not personable. 'Grandma,' that's making it real personable, real cuddly. 'No, don't get Tokyo over here. Cut it off, 'cause Grandma gon' fuss about me being around this stove.' Once again, Dream calls me 'Grandma.' She does not call me Toni, Tokyo, or Shalana. She can refer my name to any b***h on the Internet. That's my motherf***ing name."

"I slept with Sexyy Red, stop playing with me," Ray bragged during a livestream viewed by XXL. "You can clip that how you want to. Talking about, 'I party with Sexyy Red.' Ni**ga, I slept with Sexyy Red." Sexyy quickly shot down the allegation, writing back on X: "Ni**as lie on they d*ck everyday b.

Eventually, Ray J went live again and apologized to Sexyy. "I went out of control and I said that I slept with Sexyy Red," he said. "That's insensitive and it's not okay and it's trolling at the highest level. I want to say, Sexyy Red, my bad. I hope this gets out there and this gets clipped and this gets shown. Because even though if I said it later on the stream, that didn't get clipped. All they heard was what I said. It was childish, it was uncalled for, and it wasn't cool. My bad, Sexyy."

Ashanti Reacts To SZA Paying Homage To One Of Her Iconic Looks At The BET Awards

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 12 Jun 2025 15:03 GMT

SZA is no stranger to paying homage to her fellow icons, and it looks like she did just that at the 2025 BET Awards earlier this week. The "Kill Bill" performer popped out in a stunning yellow leopard print dress, which Versace released as part of their Spring 2002 collection. She wasn't the first to rock the gown at the awards show, however. Ashanti did it back in 2002, and shared a heartfelt message about the apparent tribute on her Instagram Story last night, as captured by The Shade Room. "Awwww this is so dope!" she wrote, sharing a post showing both of their looks side by side. "Not sure if it was intentional, but the vibe is super love [heart emojis]. Love me some @sza." This isn't the first time the two songstresses have shown each other love, however. In 2021, SZA spotted Ashanti at the MTV Video Music Awards, and took the opportunity to tell her how much she meant to her growing up.

"I had braces in and everything - I have a picture of us together - and your mom was like, 'You're so sweet!'" SZA explained. "It was so amazing. I would wait a million years for you, for the rest of my life. You're so amazing, you're such a huge inspiration for me. You're, like, perfect. You've been perfect my whole life - I don't know what you're doing!" Ashanti went on to share the sweet video on Instagram, making it clear that the feeling is mutual. She took a walk down memory lane at the 2025 BET Awards too, getting onstage with Jim Jones, Nick Cannon, Amerie, Keyshia Cole, and more. She opened the show by performing her hits "Rock Wit U" and "Foolish," turning heads in a pair of thigh-high black boots and a matching jacket.

Eminem Allegedly Infuriated Mariah Carey By Trying To Cast Her As His Mom In "8 Mile"

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 12 Jun 2025 14:39 GMT

Eminem reportedly tried to cast Mariah Carey to play the role of his mother in the iconic film, 8 Mile, according to music executive Damion "Damizza" Young. Appearing on the TFU Podcast, Damizza recalled the Detroit rapper reaching out to him about casting the iconic singer in the 2002 semi-autobiographical film. At first, Damizza was against the idea of Em offering her the role. "I pleaded with him not to offer Mariah the movie role." he admitted, as caught by AllHipHop. Eventually, he caved and reached out to Carey. "So I go to Mariah, and I'm like, 'Look, Eminem wants to meet you,' and she's like, 'No,'" Damizza recalled. Carey thought Eminem was looking to collaborate on music, but once Damizza clarified it was for a film, she reconsidered. The two arranged a phone call, but once Eminem noted the role was to play his mother, Carey was against it. "She did not like that s**t at all," Damizza said. "Her insecurities kicked in big time." The role ended up going to Kim Basinger, who had been best known for her roles in several blockbusters, including Tim Burton's Batman as well as L.A. Confidential, among others. 8 Mile ended up being a massive success, earning a total of $242.9 million at the worldwide box office. The accompanying soundtrack was also hugely popular as well, with the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) eventually certifiying it quadruple platinum. The song, "Lose Yourself," won an Academy Award for Best Original Song.
