Kanye West Threatened With Arrest In Brazil Over Nazi-Themed Lyrics

Posted by itstheboombap — Thu, 13 Nov 2025 00:00 GMT

Kanye West could be taken into custody in Brazil if he references Nazi ideology or performs his track "Heil Hitler" during his November 29 concert in S o Paulo, according to local prosecutors. Authorities have issued a strict warning that any such act will result in immediate arrest. S o Paulo Mayor Ricardo Nunes made the city's stance unmistakably clear during a public statement Monday. "No one who promotes Nazism will play or sing any words on public equipment belonging to the City Hall," he said. "We do not accept it and we will do everything necessary to ensure that no one who promotes Nazism has any kind of activity here in the city of S o Paulo." Nunes added, "Here in the city of S o Paulo, we will not allow events by people who promote Nazism in municipal spaces." The S o Paulo State Public Prosecutor's Office has also included concert organizers Guilherme Cavalcante and Jean Fabr cio Ramos, also known as Faublous Fabz, in the arrest order. All three individuals-West, Cavalcante and Ramos-face detention if any Nazi-related content appears during the event. The original venue, the Interlagos racetrack, was pulled by city officials following backlash over West's past antisemitic remarks. His team is now scrambling to find a new location for the show. In October, prosecutor Ana Beatriz Pereira de Souza Frontini issued a ruling that bars West from wearing or displaying Nazi symbols during his stay in Brazil. The restrictions reflect growing concern over the rapper's public statements and their potential to incite hate. The concert's status remains uncertain, especially with West's upcoming performances in South Africa on December 13 and Mexico on January 30. Earlier this month, West met with Rabbi Yoshiyahu Yosef Pinto in what appeared to be an effort to make amends. During the meeting, he said, "I feel really blessed to sit here and take accountability. I was dealing with various issues. I was dealing with bipolar also, so I would take the ideas I had and forget about the protection of the people around me and myself. So I wanted to take accountability." The S o Paulo situation is the latest fallout from West's history of inflammatory rhetoric, which has already damaged his reputation and business relationships across multiple countries. Brazilian authorities have not confirmed whether an alternate venue will be approved before the scheduled date of November 29. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/kanye-west-threatened-with-arrest-in-brazil-over-nazi-themed-lyrics/

"Predator: Badlands" Review - Movie Redefines Sci-Fi Franchise Through Heart & Action

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 23:15 GMT

Review: "Predator: Badlands" Predator: Badlands marks the latest chapter in the long-running Predator franchise, once again helmed by Dan Trachtenberg, whose credits include 10 Cloverfield Lane, Prey, and Predator: Killer of Killers. The new installment in the 38-year-old series features a strong cast led by Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi, Elle Fanning, and Cliff Curtis. The film follows Dek, a young Yautja viewed as the weak link of his clan, who sets out to earn the respect of his ruthless father, Njohri. Tasked with hunting an unkillable creature known as The Kalisk, Dek travels to the volatile planet Genna. There, he encounters Thia, a damaged synthetic robot. Together, Dek and Thia form an unexpected alliance as they navigate the planet's deadly terrain, facing both monstrous threats and emotional revelations in their quest to confront The Kalisk. Watch Video on YouTube Simply put, Predator: Badlands is an impressive entry in the franchise. Building on the success of Prey and Predator: Killer of Killers, Trachtenberg returns with a bold, emotional, and often humorous sci-fi adventure packed with thrilling action. What sets Badlands apart is its perspective-it unfolds through the eyes of the Yautja rather than the hunted humans. This fresh approach transforms the film into a coming-of-age story that balances heart, spectacle, and mythology. Schuster-Koloamatangi delivers a standout performance as Dek, skillfully conveying depth and emotion through physical expression. His portrayal anchors the film, making Dek's journey both gripping and relatable. Fanning shines as Thia, bringing warmth, wit, and sincerity to her role. Her dynamic with Dek feels genuine, creating an unexpected sense of partnership that drives the film's emotional core. Meanwhile, Cliff Curtis brings authority and menace as Njohri, embodying the violent pride of a father pushing his son to extremes. Trachtenberg's direction continues to elevate the Predator universe. With his third contribution, he expands the mythology and visual scope, exploring the culture and communication of the Yautja species in greater depth than ever before. The film's pacing is brisk, and its world-building feels rich without bogging down the action. Despite its PG-13 rating, Badlands delivers exhilarating set pieces and intense survival moments. From the creatures of Genna to the climactic showdown, the action sequences are expertly executed. Visually, the film is stunning-Jeff Cutter's cinematography captures the alien landscapes beautifully, while the CGI work from Weta FX and ILM enhances the realism and spectacle. Some longtime fans may take issue with the film's lighter tone. The emotional beats, humor, and presence of a creature companion give it a more accessible feel compared to the grittier 1987 original or 2022's Prey. Still, as a sci-fi adventure with heart, Badlands succeeds on its own terms. Clocking in at a lean 1 hour and 47 minutes, Predator: Badlands is a refreshing and ambitious addition to the series. While it trades some of the franchise's brutality for emotional depth and inventive storytelling, it remains a thrilling and visually captivating ride. Rating: 4 out of 5 Predator: Badlands is now playing in theaters nationwide. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/features/predator-badlands-review-movie-redefines-sci-fi-franchise-through-heart-action/

Tory Lanez Suffered Devastating Blow As Court Upheld Megan Thee Stallion Conviction

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 23:03 GMT

Tory Lanez suffered another devastating legal blow on Wednesday when California's appeals court rejected his bid to overturn his conviction for shooting Megan Thee Stallion in 2020. The three-justice panel from the 2nd District Court of Appeal delivered a crushing 46-page ruling that demolished the defense's claims of trial errors, cementing the Canadian rapper's 10-year prison sentence. The 33-year-old artist now faces mounting legal pressure, as he has been ordered to sit for his third deposition in Megan's ongoing defamation lawsuit against blogger Milagro Gramz. However, court documents reveal he won't have to answer questions about the actual shooting incident that landed him behind bars. The appeals court justices delivered a scathing assessment of the Tory Lanez/ case, noting the testimony was "more than sufficient to support the jury's finding that the rapper personally inflicted great bodily injury on" the Grammy-winning rapper, whose real name is Megan Pete. The ruling effectively ends Tory Lanez's hopes of escaping his December 2022 conviction on three felony counts: assault with a semiautomatic firearm, possession of a concealed unregistered firearm and negligent discharge of a firearm. The shooting occurred during a heated July 12, 2020, argument following a gathering at Kylie Jenner's Hollywood Hills residence. During the explosive trial, Megan testified that Tory Lanez shot her in both feet after telling her to "dance, b####," and later offered her $1 million to stay quiet about the incident. The Houston rapper initially hesitated to speak publicly, admitting she "didn't want to be a snitch," but felt compelled to "defend my name" when false narratives began circulating. Tory Lanez's legal troubles have only intensified since his incarceration. During an April 2025 deposition related to Megan's defamation case against Milagro Gramz, the imprisoned rapper turned the proceedings into chaos. Watch Video on YouTube He repeatedly interrupted attorneys, accused them of planning to leak footage "to fake some sort of narrative," and deflected basic questions by demanding definitions of simple words like "discuss" and "approve." When asked if he agreed that Megan Thee Stallion and Megan Pete were the same person, he responded evasively: "There's a lot of Ms. Petes in this world. Which Ms. Pete are you talking about?" He even instructed his lawyer to "Google how many Megan Petes there are in the world." The disruptive behavior backfired spectacularly. A federal judge ordered Tory Lanez to pay Megan's legal fees for the botched deposition and mandated that his upcoming third deposition be supervised by a magistrate judge. Megan's legal team described his conduct as "so disruptive, inflammatory, and inconsistent with the basic norms of civil litigation" that it "made a mockery of the proceedings." The defamation lawsuit centers on allegations that Milagro Gramz, whose real name is Milagro Cooper, acted as the rap star's "paid surrogate" to spread "vicious and hateful rumors" about Megan. The case claims Cooper promoted deepfake pornographic videos of the rapper and falsely suggested she suffers from alcoholism and requires a guardian. In January, a Los Angeles judge granted Megan a five-year restraining order against Tory Lanez, citing "conduct that culminated in [Lanez] shooting approximately five rounds at petitioner that resulted in injuries to her." The order requires him to stay at least 100 yards away from Megan until January 2030. During emotional testimony for the restraining order, Megan revealed the ongoing toll of the harassment campaign: "I haven't been at peace since I been shot, and I'm just trying to be un-harassed, not only by the person who shot me, but by the people he's been paying to continue to harass me." .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/tory-lanez-suffered-devastating-blow-as-court-upheld-megan-thee-stallion-conviction/

A$AP Relli Drops A$AP Rocky Lawsuit, Says It Ruined His Career

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 23:01 GMT

A$AP Relli has officially pulled the plug on his assault lawsuit against A$AP Rocky, ending a long legal standoff that stemmed from a 2021 confrontation outside a Hollywood hotel. The civil trial, which was slated to begin in January, would have revisited the same incident that led to Rocky's criminal trial earlier this year, where he was acquitted of firing a gun at Relli, born Terrell Ephron. But now, Relli has opted to walk away from the case entirely. "At this point, he's ready to simply move on from the shooting," Relli's attorney told Billboard. "The ordeal has been a nightmare for him, and the statements calling him a 'liar' and worse effectively eliminated his chances of a career in the industry." The decision marks a major shift in a saga that began in November 2021, when Relli accused Rocky, whose legal name is Rakim Mayers, of firing two shots at him during an argument. Rocky has always denied the allegation, claiming the weapon was a prop gun loaded with blanks. Watch Video on YouTube In 2022, prosecutors charged the Grammy-nominated rapper with two felony counts of assault with a firearm. Rocky refused a plea deal and took the case to trial, where he was acquitted in February. Despite dropping the assault suit, Relli is still pursuing a separate defamation case against both Rocky and his attorney, Joe Tacopina. The lawsuit centers on media interviews in which they dismissed Relli's claims as "extortion" and a "get-rich-quick-scheme." The initial civil suit, filed in 2022, sought financial damages for the alleged shooting. Unlike the criminal case, the civil trial would have required a lower standard of proof. But with the case now dismissed, Relli appears to be shifting his focus. His attorney said he's now "focusing on rebuilding his life." The dropped lawsuit clears Rocky of any remaining assault-related litigation tied to the November 2021 incident. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/asap-relli-drops-aap-rocky-shooting-lawsuit/

Tiffany Haddish Makes Surprising Wedding Announcement On Her Africa Trip

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 22:00 GMT

Tiffany Haddish turned a girls' trip into a personal milestone when she married herself during a private ceremony in Africa, aiming to embrace self-accountability and inner growth. The Emmy-winning actress and comedian, 45, staged the symbolic wedding while filming her upcoming Peacock docuseries, Tiffany Haddish Goes Off, set to premiere Thursday (November 13). The six-part series follows Haddish and her childhood friends-Selena Martin, Shermona Long and Sparkle Clark-through Zimbabwe and Cape Town, South Africa. "I thought to do that because first, I wanted to have a little party," Haddish told the New York Post. "Second, I also wanted to hold myself accountable for some things." The trip wasn't just for adventure. Haddish used the journey to reflect on her personal challenges and renew her commitment to herself. Watch Video on YouTube The self-marriage comes after a turbulent stretch for Haddish, including two DUI-related arrests in 2022 and 2023. In 2024, she also drew backlash on social media after posting a TikTok video expressing surprise at finding a grocery store in Zimbabwe. Some viewed the clip as culturally tone-deaf. Haddish also faced criticism online after visiting Israel in early 2024, stating it was an "educational trip" to learn firsthand about the aftermath of the October 7 attacks and the ongoing conflict. Haddish likened the criticism to physical pain. "Getting social media backlash feels 'like walking on a Lego,'" she said. "I've got to be more careful about what I post. It's irritating, but it's a part of the business." Tiffany Haddish Reveals "Marriage" Has Boosted Her Dating Life The actress was previously married to William Stewart from 2008 to 2013 and dated Common from 2020 to 2021. But this time, she's committing to herself. "This marriage to me has been going very good. We have been having a fantastic time seeing who our third is going to be," Haddish joked. "Who is gonna be the third wheel?" The unconventional ceremony has even changed her dating life. "I'm getting more dates now, when I tell [men] I'm married. If you tell a man you're married, but you're willing to go out with him, he's like, 'Oh, she's a freak!'" Haddish also maintains a close bond with fellow comedian Kevin Hart, who once helped her during a rough patch by paying for a hotel when she was homeless. When asked if Hart knew about her new marital status, she replied, "You just told him." "It's not everybody's business that I'm in a relationship with me. I mean, first of all, my relationship with me is my relationship...So I haven't told everybody," the comic said. "Sometimes I wear my wedding ring and people are like, 'Oh, my God, where did you get that?' I'm like 'Africa. I'm married!'" She closed the conversation with a message about honoring personal commitments. "If you going to keep any promises in life, the promises you make to yourself are the main ones you need to be keeping," she explained. "That's the longest relationship you're going to have, and there's no ceremony for you, to you. There's no ceremony for that. So, f### it, I'm marrying me." .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/tiffany-haddish-wedding-announcement-africa-trip/

The streaming giant confirmed the news in a statement, declaring, "We're officially heading back to Hillman! Introducing the cast of A Different World, a new sequel series, coming soon to Netflix." The revival will reunite key creative forces from the original series, blending nostalgia with a modern perspective.

Chrisean Rock Claims Blueface Attacked Her In His Kitchen

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 21:00 GMT

Chrisean Rock ended all co-parenting plans with Blueface after she claimed he violently attacked her during a recent visit to his home in Los Angeles. The 24-year-old reality star and rapper went live on Instagram to break the news, revealing she's relocating to Baltimore permanently and leaving behind both the West Coast and her turbulent relationship with Blueface. She also shared that she's engaged to a new partner and building a life far away from the chaos. "If you want to see me, come to Baltimore," Rock said during the livestream. "I just bought acres of land, I'm building a foundation, a compound, I'm getting married... I'm out the way on purpose, bruh." The alleged incident that led to her decision involved a violent confrontation inside Blueface's kitchen. "I got stomped out in his kitchen, that's the last time me and my son will ever be around that. ... I'm not doing no co-parenting if my life is on the line," she said. View this post on Instagram The split comes after what seemed like a brief reconciliation following Blueface's release from jail. That reunion quickly unraveled, and Blueface has since gone public with a new relationship with Love & Hip Hop alum Hazel-E. The pair's relationship has long been marred by public disputes and accusations of abuse. Over the years, both Rock and Blueface have aired their grievances online, turning personal issues into headline fodder and social media spectacles. Rock's move back to Maryland signals a major shift. She's investing in property, focusing on raising her son and distancing herself from Los Angeles, where much of her public drama with Blueface has played out. Her new engagement adds another layer to the story, though she has yet to reveal the identity of her fianc . Still, she made it clear she's seeking peace and stability. This development follows years of back-and-forth between the two, but Rock's latest comments suggest she's drawing a firm line. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/chrisean-rock-claims-blueface-attacked-her-in-his-kitchen/

Jeffrey Epstein Says Trump: "Knew About The Girls" In Bombshell Emails

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 19:00 GMT

Donald Trump has been thrust back into the Epstein controversy after House Democrats released a batch of emails on Wednesday suggesting the former president knew about Jeffrey Epstein's abuse of young women and chose to stay silent. The newly revealed exchanges, part of a trove of 23,000 documents obtained from Epstein's estate, include messages between Epstein, his longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell, and journalist Michael Wolff. The emails, spanning from 2011 to 2019, were made public by the Democratic members of the House Oversight Committee. In one 2011 email to Maxwell, Epstein cryptically referred to Trump as "that dog that hasn't barked," writing: "I want you to realize that that dog that hasn't barked is trump.. [Victim] spent hours at my house with him ,, he has never once been mentioned." Maxwell replied, "I have been thinking about that." A more pointed accusation came in a 2019 email to Wolff, where Epstein wrote: "Of course he knew about the girls as he asked ghislaine to stop." He also pushed back on Trump's previous claim that he had banned Epstein from Mar-a-Lago, stating, "never a member ever." Another email from December 2015 showed Epstein and Wolff strategizing over how Trump might respond to questions from CNN about his ties to Epstein. When Epstein asked, "if we were able to craft an answer for him, what do you think it should be?" Wolff responded, "If he says he hasn't been on the plane or to the house, then that gives you a valuable PR and political currency." Wolff added, "You can hang him in a way that potentially generates a positive benefit for you, or, if it really looks like he could win, you could save him, generating a debt." Watch Video on YouTube Robert Garcia, the top Democrat on the Oversight Committee, said the emails raise serious concerns. "The more Donald Trump tries to cover up the Epstein files, the more we uncover. These latest emails and correspondence raise glaring questions about what else the White House is hiding and the nature of the relationship between Epstein and the President." The revelations come as Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking, is reportedly seeking clemency from Trump's administration. House Judiciary Democrats have already called on the former president to reject any pardon request. Ro Khanna, a California Democrat, said the disclosures support his bipartisan push with Rep. Thomas Massie to force a House vote on making the full Epstein files public. "The public deserves transparency and the survivors deserve justice," Khanna said. Meanwhile, Hakeem Jeffries, House Minority Leader, accused Republicans of shielding Epstein's network. "They are running a pedophile protection program," Jeffries said. The White House has not commented on the email release. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is expected to address the issue during Wednesday's briefing. Epstein died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges. His network allegedly trafficked underage girls to high-profile figures across multiple states and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The emails are part of a broader push by House Democrats to force the release of the so-called "Epstein Files," which include names and details tied to his criminal operation. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/jeffrey-epstein-says-trump-knew-about-the-girls-in-bombshell-emails/

Locked Up: Akon Arrested In Georgia On Outstanding Warrant

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 18:30 GMT

Akon found himself behind bars last Thursday morning (November 6), when Georgia law enforcement executed an outstanding warrant against the multi-platinum artist. The Chamblee Police Department took the 52-year-old performer into custody, processing him through the DeKalb County jail system before his release approximately six hours later. Born Aliaune Thiam, the "Lonely" hitmaker posed for his booking photograph wearing a black hoodie, maintaining a stoic expression throughout the procedure. Authorities confirmed the detention stemmed from an out-of-county warrant, though specific details regarding the underlying charges remain undisclosed. The DeKalb County Sheriff's Office verified the morning arrest and subsequent booking process to media outlets. The brief incarceration marks another chapter in what has been a tumultuous year for the Senegalese-American artist. His estranged wife Tomeka Thiam filed divorce papers in September, just four days before their 29th wedding anniversary would have occurred. Watch Video on YouTube Despite the legal entanglement, the Grammy-nominated performer's detention proved temporary. Jail records indicate his processing and release occurred within the same day, suggesting either bond payment or resolution of the warrant's underlying issues. Akon's representatives have not responded to requests for comment regarding the circumstances surrounding the warrant or his brief detention. The nature of the out-of-county legal matter that prompted the arrest remains under investigation. The development comes as the "Smack That" collaborator continues managing various business ventures, including his ambitious Akon City project in Senegal, which he recently defended against cancelation reports. Akon's legal team has yet to issue any public statements regarding the Georgia incident or potential future court appearances related to the outstanding warrant. Akon claimed to have served years in prison and been the leader of a car theft ring, but investigations have shown these claims were largely embellished to enhance his street credibility. In reality, Akon spent a few months in jail around 1998 for possession of a stolen car, but the charges were later dropped, and he was never convicted as a ringleader or served a long prison sentence. He was, however, convicted of felony gun possession and received three years' probation.? Beyond his self-promoted criminal background, Akon faced controversy for several other legal incidents. In 2007, he was charged with endangering a minor and harassment after tossing a teenager offstage during a concert, an event that resulted in minor injuries to an audience member. That same year, he faced public backlash for simulating sexual acts onstage with an underage girl in Trinidad and Tobago, which led to the loss of corporate sponsorships. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/locked-up-akon-arrested-in-georgia-on-outstanding-warrant/

Rod Wave Busted With Baby Bottle Full Of Lean & Gun Tucked In His Waistband

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 18:00 GMT

Rod Wave was arrested in Atlanta after police discovered a baby bottle filled with suspected promethazine in his vehicle during a late-night traffic stop that began with the rapper allegedly speeding through a residential stop sign. The 25-year-old Florida native was pulled over Friday night after an officer observed him driving 45 mph in a 30 mph zone on Defoor Avenue NW. According to the arrest warrant, the officer trailed the vehicle without activating lights, writing, "I had a suspicion that the vehicle would flee." After following Rod Wave to a QuikTrip gas station, police searched his vehicle and found what they described as "1 fl oz of a purple liquid" suspected to be promethazine inside a baby bottle. Promethazine, a Schedule V drug, is commonly mixed with codeine and soda to create lean, a substance deeply ingrained in Southern Hip-Hop culture. The use of baby bottles to consume lean has become a recognizable trend in certain Hip-Hop circles. The bottles are favored for their slow-sip design to help enhance the drug's sedative effect. Also in the car was Jamond Byner, who was arrested after police found roughly 7 grams of marijuana and linked him to the same baby bottle. Watch Video on YouTube The search turned up more than just the baby bottle and some weed. Officers also recovered additional suspected promethazine, oxycodone-a Schedule II controlled substance-a black backpack filled with bundled cash, a Sig Sauer P320 9mm handgun and a Glock .40 caliber pistol with a high-capacity magazine tucked into Rod Wave's waistband. Rod Wave now faces multiple charges, including possession of a firearm during the commission of certain felonies, possession of Schedule II and Schedule V controlled substances, reckless driving and violating Georgia's Controlled Substances Act. He was released Saturday after posting an $8,000 bond. His lawyer blasted the Atlanta Police Department for profiling Rod Wave. "We look forward to vigorously challenging this baseless arrest and the clear violations of Mr. Green's rights in court," his attorneys said. The arrest came on the same day Rod Wave earned his first Grammy nomination, casting a shadow over what should have been a career milestone. This incident marks his second run-in with Atlanta law enforcement this year. In May, he surrendered to police in connection with more than a dozen charges related to a domestic call in Milton. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/rod-wave-busted-with-baby-bottle-full-of-lean-gun-tucked-in-his-waistband/

AI Country "Artist" Tops Billboard Chart With Synthetic Hit, Hip-Hop's Trouble Begins

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 17:30 GMT

AI has made history once again. And this time, people are getting nervous. "Walk My Walk" is a song from an artist named Breaking Rust and that song has climbed to No. 1 on Billboard's Country Digital Song Sales chart. This makes it the first AI-generated country song to ever top a Billboard ranking. This AI era we're stepping into is getting stranger and stranger. But this is notable. Watch Video on YouTube Breaking Rust sounds like a heartbroken cowboy with a scruffy voice. And yet, there is no traceable human identity. He/it is is fully AI. The digital singer boasts over 2 million monthly listeners on Spotify and several tracks have crossed the million-stream mark. "Livin' on Borrowed Time," another fan favorite, has already surpassed 4 million plays. This is happening. The project's creator Aubierre Rivaldo Taylor is an unknown. Taylor is credited as the songwriter behind Breaking Rust and appears linked to another AI experiment called Defbeatsai. Defbeatsai is like weird country music with a vulgar twist. Many people question if Taylor actually exists. READ ALSO: Timbaland Sparks Outrage With AI-Generated Artist Accused Of Cultural Appropriation "Walk My Walk" has made history but Morgan Wallen's "I Got Better" has the top spot on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart. Cody Johnson's "Travelin' Soldier" leads U.S. country tracks across streaming platforms. Nevertheless, Breaking Rust's rise marks a shift. They are disrupting the game and they are making money. And what about Hip-Hop? AI's breakthrough in country music could soon hit Hip-Hop just as hard, if not harder. We love rap for that raw storytelling, individuality and uniquely lived experience. Now, we stand at the cross roads where it could all be turned on its ear. "Keep It Real" will never mean the same. They will be mimicking tone, slang and stealing flows from real MCs. While some see opportunity...producers experimenting with AI tools to expand their sound or indie artists leveling the playing field...others are going to cheat. Hip-Hop could lose its soul. The danger is real for Hip-Hop, which gives voice to the voiceless. As labels explore AI-driven projects for profit, Hip-Hop will on the menu. Even the created rappers like Bhad Bhabie are in jeopardy. Major artists including Sir Elton John and Dua Lipa want regulations! Not everybody is Timbaland. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/opinion/ai-country-artist-tops-billboard-chart-with-synthetic-hit-hip-hops-trouble-begins/

An Ohio Taco Bell worker recently tried the new Mountain Dew Baja Blast Pie, which is a promotional item that some commenters think is indicative of 2025's unhinged fast food marketing era. TikTok creator TaCara (@tmprettyy) posted a video of her Baja Blast Pie review on Oct. 30. The video shows TaCara with a slice of the turquoise pie that she says she let thaw for about an hour. The consistency of her slice is gummy, but she takes a bite. She can't quite put her finger on the flavor. "It's not terrible," she says. She takes a second bite to be sure. "It's not bad," she confirms. "This is-it's not bad. I definitely give this a seven out of 10. I can't really tell y'all if it tastes like Baja Blast." Ohio Taco Bell Worker Taste Tests Baja Blast Pie TaCara says she's never had a key lime pie, so she can't specifically compare it to anything. But she says, "Definitely let it sit. I don't eat this frozen. I've seen people eat this frozen. It says 'thaw for 30 minutes.'" The instructions are to allow it to thaw for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours. TaCara says, "It tastes like [something] for a summer day, not like Thanksgiving. [It's] $20, though." The comments varied in their opinions about the pie's appearance. "This look like something LUSH would sell," said one person. "Why is it stretching like play doh?" another person asked. Is TaCara Just Trying to Keep Her Job? One person suggested she only did the video out of pressure. "Y'all she just tryna keep her job," they said. One commenter noted that Taco Bell is straying away from its classics, saying, "They should've just kept the caramel apple empanadas." One person made the best joke: "In a few years y'all gone be calling the number for the class action lawsuit for mesothelioma." TaCara made a follow-up video admitting she likely shouldn't have purchased the pie if she didn't work at Taco Bell. But she says that because she is more of a "chocolate" person versus going for citrus flavors. She also notes that each participating location was only allotted 12 pies. Taco Bell's Limited Edition Baja Blast Pie The extremely limited-edition pie sold out in many locations after its launch on Nov. 6. It was first teased at the Live M s Live event in 2024 and made a cameo during Mountain Dew Baja Blast's 20th anniversary celebration. Priced at $19.99, the graham cracker-crust pie is sold only whole (not by slice) and is available in-store for a limited time. It transforms the soda into a citrus-flavored, key lime pie-adjacent dessert, explicitly designed to go viral on social media. It's part of an escalating trend where fast food chains create increasingly bizarre collaborations purposefully designed to cut through digital noise. Right now, there's everything from Hidden Valley Ranch lip balm to pretty much whatever you want in dill pickle flavor, banking on shock value and FOMO to push sales. Food Network called it "otherworldly-sort of like an alien key lime pie" and positioned it as perfect for Friendsgiving. We'll let you be the judge.

Nas Leads "1 Dollar, 1 Mic, 1 Movement" Push To Fund Hip-Hop's First Permanent Museum

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 17:00 GMT

Nas kicked off a major movement for Hip-Hop and history with a $1 million donation at The Hip Hop Museum's 2025 Black Tie Gala, setting the tone for a worldwide $1 fundraising push happening December 2. The Bronx-based institution is launching its "1 Dollar, 1 Mic, 1 Movement" campaign on Giving Tuesday, asking supporters across the globe to chip in just one dollar to help build Hip-Hop's first permanent museum. The campaign's goal is simple: unite the culture through small donations that collectively create a powerful impact. "Hip-Hop gave us a voice, let's give it a home," Nas stated. View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Hip Hop Museum (@thhmuseum) Resorts World New York City matched Nas's contribution, doubling the night's total to $2 million and giving the museum's campaign a significant lift. Organizers now hope to tap into the worldwide Hip-Hop community's strength in numbers. The museum, which is set to open in late 2026 along the Harlem River in the Bronx, will celebrate every corner of the culture-from DJs and MCs to breakdancers and business pioneers. It will also spotlight Hip-Hop's influence on activism and global movements. The D.O.C. Joins "1 Dollar, 1 Mic, 1 Movement" Campaign Several legends have already pledged their support for the "1 Dollar, 1 Mic, 1 Movement," including Slick Rick, Doug E. Fresh, Salt of Salt-N-Pepa, Big Daddy Kane, DJ Cassidy and The D.O.C.. Each will help spread the word ahead of the December 2 push. View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Hip Hop Museum (@thhmuseum) The campaign's concept leans on symbolism as much as fundraising. The idea is that every dollar represents a microphone-amplifying the voices and stories that shaped the genre's past and future. To participate, supporters can text 1DollarForHipHop to 707070 or donate online at thhm.org/1dollar. The Bronx location is no accident. The borough is considered the birthplace of Hip-Hop, where DJ Kool Herc first experimented with breakbeats in the 1970s, laying the foundation for a global cultural force. The museum's site along the Harlem River marks a return to where it all began. The "1 Dollar, 1 Mic, 1 Movement" campaign officially launches on Giving Tuesday (December 2). .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/nas-1-dollar-1-mic-1-movement-hip-hops-first-permanent-museum/

Salt-N-Pepa Announce 2026 Reunion Tour After Calling Out Music Industry At Rock Hall Induction

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 16:00 GMT

Salt-N-Pepa dropped a major update following the 2025 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony in Los Angeles - a long-awaited 2026 reunion tour amid a very public rebuke of the music industry's streaming practices. The iconic Hip-Hop trio - Cheryl "Salt" James, Sandra "Pepa" Denton and Deidra "Spinderella" Roper - received the Musical Influence Award over the weekend (November 8) at the Peacock Theater. But while the moment was celebratory, Salt used the spotlight to call out what she described as unfair treatment from the powers behind the scenes. "As we celebrate this moment, fans can't even stream our music," Salt said during their acceptance speech. "It's been taken down from all streaming platforms because the industry still doesn't want to play fair. Salt-N-Pepa have never been afraid of a fight. This is the Influence Award. We have to keep using our influence until the industry honors creativity the way the audience does - with love, respect, and fairness - and that includes streaming platforms too." Watch Video on YouTube The group has been entangled in a legal dispute with Universal Music Group over music rights. Their legal team claims the label removed their catalog from major streaming services in retaliation. Despite the ongoing battle, Salt-N-Pepa made it clear they're not slowing down. James confirmed the trio will reunite for a tour in 2026. "Are we doing a Reunion Tour?" she teased. "Yes, yes. 2026, but don't quote us!" The announcement came during an interview with entertainment reporter Courtney Tezeno, where the group reflected on their legacy and the significance of the Hall of Fame honor. Pepa spoke on the group's impact: "Because we have forged such a path for women, and all the triumphs and everything that we have overcome, the good, the bad, and just to stand here today is such a prestigious award. The influence award for Hip-Hop, the contribution that we have did, you know, for Hip-Hop feels great." Salt added, "We've always been working hard and knowing that we were doing the darn thing. But to get this is, like, the cherry on top of the cake. This is incredible. We take ourselves being influencers very seriously." Spinderella acknowledged the uphill climb it took to get to this point: "Oh, my God. I mean, this is the top of the line. But the work that's been put in, the struggle was real. You don't get to this point without suffering." The group also performed their 1987 classic "Push It" during the ceremony, joined on stage by En Vogue and longtime producer Hurby Luv Bug Azor. Watch Video on YouTube Salt-N-Pepa's rise began in 1985, and over the decades they've carved out space for women in Hip-Hop with bold lyrics, business savvy and an unshakable presence. The 2026 tour will mark their return to the stage as a full unit, signaling not just a comeback but a continuation of their fight for fair treatment in the music business. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/salt-n-pepa-2026-reunion-tour/

'He didn't get very far': Houston man tries to walk his tab. Then the bartender catches him-she's se

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 14:00 GMT

A Houston man finds himself publicly embarrassed after he walked a restaurant tab and then headed next door to the poker room for some light gambling. Here's why the scheme didn't turn out like he hoped. TikTok user Wynden Tess (@wyndensworld) posted a video about the experience on Oct. 11. "I am the bartender at a high-end restaurant, and this is my story about how this guy tried to walk his tab tonight," she says to start the video. "He didn't get very far." Wynden explains that she works behind the bar at her restaurant, and serves customers food as well as alcohol. Next to the restaurant is a 24-hour poker place. That evening, a man entered the bar and ordered food, a $7 bottle of still water, and a double Captain Morgan rum with Diet Coke. After eating all his bread and much of his food, he asks Wynden Tess if it's OK if he goes to get his laptop and does some work at the bar. She assures him that's fine. Houston Man Attempts to Walk Restaurant Bar Tab "So he sits down his double Captain Morgan," she says. "He says he's going to get his laptop. I had a feeling. He was being overly nice." And sure enough, she says, "He left to go get his laptop and never returned." Wynden Tess spoke to another one of the staff, who saw him walk over to the poker room. She gives the man another 10 minutes before heading over to the poker room to see if he's there. Luckily, she is friends with the security guard there, so she has no problem getting in. Sure enough, her tab walking customer is inside the poker room playing at a table. The security guard goes up to the guy, who initially denies ever being at the restaurant. His tune changes, though, when Wynden Tess returns with her manager and security camera footage that clearly shows him enjoying his meal. The customer acts confused and tells them that he thought a friend paid for his tab. Wynden doesn't believe this excuse for a second, because she didn't see him with anybody the entire time he was at the restaurant. "He was trying to cover his [expletive] at the poker room so they didn't think he was a broke loser," she says. "We walk back over to the restaurant. He's in between me and my manager with his little tail between his legs. And he pays and he gave me $5." She's unmoved by the gesture. "First of all, you're embarrassing and you look like a loser," she says. "And you just lie after lie. You can't pay a $48 tab, but you have the audacity to go play poker and gamble your money? That's embarrassing, boy." Viewers React to the Houston Bartender's Detective Skills In the comments, viewers overwhelmingly took Wynden Tess's side in the situation. Many praised her detective skills. "There's nothing better than a bartender scorned," wrote one person. "Bartenders are smarter than whips," said a second person. "You should work for the FBI," said a third person. "Nice job, girl." While it's not uncommon, leaving without paying a restaurant tab is a misdemeanor offense in Texas. And not only does the practice cost the restaurant money, but servers and bartenders are often asked to pay the tab out of pocket. All Hip Hop contacted Wynden Tess via TikTok comment and direct message for comment. @wyndensworld Gottemmm

Viral Rapper's "Arrest Me Daddy" Stunt Ends With Real Handcuffs

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 14:00 GMT

Viral sensation Adamn Killa turned his viral catchphrase into reality Monday afternoon when Chicago police briefly detained him during a traffic stop downtown after months of daring them to do just that. The Hip-Hop artist, whose real name is Adam Kelly, has built a massive online following by confronting law enforcement officers and theatrically demanding they arrest him. His go-to move? Bending over, placing his hands behind his back and yelling "Arrest me, daddy" before breaking into a dance - all set to his song "Fall On." But things got real at the corner of East Randolph Street and North Michigan Avenue on Monday (November 10), when officers actually took him up on the offer. Kelly was handcuffed and placed in the back of a squad car for about 20 minutes before being released without charges. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Adamn Killa (@adamnkilla) The "Arrest Me Daddy" Video Series Continues "I got out and I went and made more 'Arrest me, daddy' videos right after," Kelly told the Chicago Sun-Times. True to his word, he posted several more clips after the incident, keeping his online momentum going. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Adamn Killa (@adamnkilla) View this post on Instagram A post shared by Adamn Killa (@adamnkilla) Kelly, who hails from Chicago's Chatham and Roseland neighborhoods, has racked up nearly 2 million followers across Instagram and TikTok. His videos regularly hit hundreds of thousands of views, with some surpassing the million mark. His most viral content often shows him confronting everyone from Chicago police to National Guard troops in Washington, D.C., while dancing and repeating his now-signature line. Kelly's manager, Taylor Bennett-the younger brother and manager of Chance the Rapper-sees his antics as more than just internet comedy. "You laugh at him, but it's like he's created an environment through his socials where people feel that they can be involved even if they're not there," Bennett said. While many see his behavior as performance art, Kelly insists there's a political edge to his viral campaign. He's critical of officers who hide their identities during operations and draws historical comparisons to make his point. "How they be covering their face and s###, I feel like in the future, they gonna look at them like how they looked at, like the Nazi soldiers," Kelly said. "Because they know what they be doing wrong. That's why they cover their face and they be covering their badges and stuff." Kelly was released without charges on November 10 and resumed filming the same day. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/viral-rapper-arrest-me-daddy-stunt-ends-real-handcuffs/

Ja Rule Reflects On 50 Cent Feud-Blames It For Hurting New York Hip-Hop

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 13:00 GMT

Ja Rule doubled down on his belief that he's the superior rapper to 50 Cent, despite conceding over a decade ago that he lost their infamous Hip-Hop feud that helped reshape the early 2000s. During a recent appearance on the "7 P.M. in Brooklyn" podcast hosted by Carmelo Anthony and Kazeem Famuyide, the Queens-bred rapper revisited the long-standing grudge match with the G-Unit frontman. While acknowledging it was an "unpopular opinion", Ja Rule stood firm in his claim that his artistry outshone 50's. "I feel like I was the better rapper," Ja said. "I felt like I made the better records; I feel like my records aged better, still. So, that's how I feel inside. I don't know how everybody else feels." That statement followed his broader call for mutual respect, noting that both he and 50 Cent made lasting contributions to Hip-Hop culture. "At the end of the day, you've gotta kinda love both or you gotta kinda respect both," Ja said. "You don't gotta love both, but you gotta respect both. You gotta appreciate both, and that's just what it is. Even in rap competitions and battles and beefs and s### like that, I have a very different take on it than everybody does. He has a take on it that was his take." Watch Video on YouTube The comments come despite Ja Rule's 2013 admission that he lost the battle to 50 Cent, whose string of scathing diss tracks - including "Back Down," "Wanksta," and "I Smell P*ssy" - helped derail Ja's commercial reign. The feud also fractured the New York Hip-Hop scene, something Ja reflected on during the interview. "Look at Kendrick and Drake. Nothing good is coming out of any of these things. Like, me and 50's s###, that s### f##### up New York Hip-Hop. It really did because it separated a lot of n##### in New York ." When the conversation shifted to the Kendrick Lamar and Drake battle, Ja Rule offered his take on the fallout and why he thinks Drake doesn't need any advice. "Why I gota advise Drake? Why I can't advise Kendrick?" he asked. "Drake don't need no advice. Drake is rich, he got a big ass plane. Have you seen his plane? What we talking about Drake for, man? That n#### chilling, man." .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/ja-rule-reflects-50-cent-feud-hurting-new-york-hip-hop/

Ferg Reveals Max B's Emotional Tie To His Late Father: "I Didn't Know How Deep It Ran"

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 12:00 GMT

Ferg revealed a surprising backstory about Max B and his late father, Darold Ferguson Sr., during a recent vlog, sharing that the Harlem rapper once worked side by side with his dad in a T-shirt printing hustle long before either of them became known names in Hip-Hop. The A$AP Mob artist dropped the revelation just days after Max B was released from East Jersey State Prison on Sunday (November 9), ending a 16-year sentence that began in 2009. The Harlem native, known for his melodic "wavy" sound, had his original 75-year sentence reduced in a lengthy legal battle. "Three weeks ago, he told me that he was silk-screening t-shirts with my dad. He was like D Ferg's little man," Ferg said in the vlog. "I didn't know how deep it ran with him and my family, but that's really the history. He's like one of the guys that my father helped pull up in the neighbourhood." Ferg Says His Connection With Max B Runs Deeper Than Rap Ferg explained that his father, who passed away in 2005 from kidney failure, had a habit of mentoring young men in the neighborhood and tried to steer them away from trouble. "We built our rapport from the fam," he added. "It's not even on no rap s###." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Max B (@thisisbiggavel) Darold Ferguson Sr. was a respected Harlem designer who ran a boutique and made a name for himself in the 90s and early 2000s, printing shirts and creating logos for major record labels like Bad Boy Records and Uptown Records. He also worked with artists including Teddy Riley, Heavy D and Bell Biv DeVoe. That same creative drive would later influence Ferg's own ventures in fashion, including his Traplord clothing line, which became a staple in Hip-Hop streetwear. Max B's release has already stirred excitement in the music world. He's reconnected with longtime collaborator French Montana and is reportedly working on new material. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/ferg-max-b-tie-to-late-father/

Paris Jackson Can Pull Spaghetti Through Her Nose Due To Drug Use

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 11:01 GMT

Paris Jackson revealed a deeply personal consequence of her past drug use, telling social media followers that she has lived with a perforated septum since she was 20. In a video shared to TikTok and other platforms, the daughter of Michael Jackson and Debbie Rowe explained the visible and audible impact of the condition. "I realized I never addressed this and it can sometimes be very noticeable," she said. "I have a really loud whistle because you can hear it when I breathe through my nose, and that is because I have what is called a perforated septum." To show the extent of the damage, Jackson tilted her head back and shone a light into her nostril, exposing the cavity. When asked how it happened, she didn't mince words. Watch Video on YouTube "It's exactly where you think it's from," she said, before adding, "Don't do drugs, kids." Then, with a shrug, she continued, "Or do, I mean, everyone is going to have the experience they need to have with life. I'm not going to tell anyone what to do. I don't recommend it because it ruined my life." The 26-year-old model and singer said the condition has been difficult to manage, especially when recording music. She even joked that she "can stick a spaghetti noodle" through the hole in her nose. Though surgery could potentially fix the issue, Jackson said she's not willing to risk her sobriety, which she's maintained for nearly six years. "You have to take pills when you do a surgery that gnarly," she said. "And I don't want to f**k with that." Jackson's video comes as more public figures have begun to speak openly about the long-term physical and emotional consequences of substance use. Jackson has not shared whether she plans to seek alternative treatments for the condition, but she made it clear that avoiding painkillers is a priority as she continues her recovery journey. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/paris-jackson-can-pull-spaghetti-through-her-nose-due-to-drug-use/

'I swear I've seen these Instagram promo codes everywhere': Nashville woman goes out for $55 omakase

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 11:00 GMT

A Nashville woman went to a $65 omakase experience that she said was one of the most frustrating restaurant meals she's ever had. TikTok user Yoojin (@yoojin.ie) posted a video about the meal on Oct. 9. "Be careful about omakase places that might lure you in with a promo code or discount but end up not honoring it-even after calling them out," she says. Yoojin explains that she and her boyfriend recently visited a Nashville omakase restaurant, which she leaves unnamed, after seeing it advertised on Instagram as 12 courses for $65. "And they were running Instagram ads that had promo codes that brought it down to $55," she says. "I swear, I've seen those promo codes everywhere. But I've learned that when things sound too good to be true, it's probably not worth it." What Happened at the Nashville Omakase Restaurant? The first red flag appeared when the couple had to wait 25 minutes past their 7:30 p.m. reservation. "One thing about omakase is that they run really strict time slots," Yoojin says. "We got seated at 7:50 p.m.-which is insane to think about." Another issue Yoojin and her boyfriend had with the service is that the hostess asked them multiple times to purchase an alcoholic or non alcoholic beverage with their meal. Yoojin said her boyfriend drove and she wasn't interested in drinking alcohol, but declining once wasn't enough. "Asking us throughout the entire omakase experience was unnecessary," she says. "I did have to cave in and I got the one non alcoholic drink they had. Which was really good, but it just left a bitter taste in my mouth." Yoojin also objected to the a la carte menu prices, which she says range from $16-$30. "So, a $30 price point for one piece of sushi, which is practically half the price [of the full meal], is just insane," she says. Nashville Omakase Service Pushes Woman 'Over the Edge' Yoojin says she was "kind of pushed over the edge" when the hostess approached the couple with the bill "in the middle" of the meal. "So she has her tablet and she asks us if we want to close our tab or pay," she says. "Even when she was doing this, the chefs, I could literally hear them say to each other, 'What is she doing?' So I guess this wasn't normal, but we ended up just paying." The final insult came with the receipt. "That's when we noticed the promo code wasn't applied," she says. She brought it up with the hostess on her way out, but says the hostess told her she couldn't help them since they'd already paid the tab. Yoojin asked the hostess to call her manager, and the couple left their contact information with the hostess so that the manager could follow up. "I'm making this video because it's been a week and a half later and we actually haven't heard anything back," she says. Viewers React to the Nashville Omakase Experience It's unfortunate that the service was so lacking, because Yoojin says the sushi itself was fine. "I thought everything was great except for one piece," she says, the wagyu uni. "I think it's just the hostess that kind of ruined the experience." In the comments section, viewers reacted to the story and offered advice on how to handle the situation. "Omakase in Nashville does not sound appealing," wrote one skeptical viewer. "You should've called to follow up, but they should've too, obviously," said a second person. "The fastest way to get a refund is leaving a 1-star review," said a third person. "Also, I wanted to try this place, too, but I was skeptical." Is This Video About Sushi by Bou? Multiple commenters suggested that Yoojin is talking about Sushi by Bou, which advertises a 12-course omakase experience for $65. And Yelp reviews for the restaurant seem to back up Yoojin's complaints about the inconsistent service and pricey a la carte menu. However, others praised the ambience and said they had no problem redeeming the promo code. All Hip Hop contacted Yoojin via email and Sushi by Bou via website contact form for comment. @yoojin.ie what's the promo code for?

Lil' Kim Rocks Barclays Center As Nets Debut Notorious B.I.G. Tribute Jerseys On "Biggie Night"

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 10:00 GMT

Lil Kim took center court at Barclays Center on November 11 as the Brooklyn Nets unveiled their revived Notorious B.I.G.-inspired "Brooklyn Camo" jerseys during the team's first "Biggie Night" of the 2025-26 NBA season against the Toronto Raptors. The halftime tribute featured the Queen Bee delivering her verse from "Notorious B.I.G." in front of a crowd buzzing with nostalgia and hometown pride. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Fashion Bomb Daily (@fashionbombdaily) Before the event, Lil Kim teased her appearance on social media, writing, "I'm poppin out tomorrow for my home team the @brooklynnets at the @barclayscenter. It's Biggie Night, so you already know the vibes everytime we rep the legend it's all good babyyy bae baeee. Brooklyn, we ouuutssiiideee. Get ready for a fun-filled night! Let's make it one for the books." The Nets' players hit the hardwood in the reimagined "Brooklyn Camo" City Edition uniforms, which feature a bold multicolor stripe pattern inspired by Biggie's iconic Coogi sweaters. A "BED-STUY" patch, designed by graffiti legend Eric Haze, was stitched across the torso in tribute to the late rapper's neighborhood roots. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Brooklyn Nets (@brooklynnets) The arena was transformed for the night with a Biggie-themed court, curated entertainment, and giveaways, including collectible Biggie bobbleheads for attendees. The celebration is part of a larger campaign in partnership with Biggie's estate, aimed at honoring his legacy and the borough's cultural impact on Hip-Hop. The Nets plan to wear the Biggie jerseys in 11 games throughout the season. Limited-edition merchandise, including hoodies, caps and tees, was released in tandem with the event and quickly became hot-ticket items. Team executives and representatives from Biggie's estate emphasized that the tribute is meant to reflect the spirit of Brooklyn and the lasting influence of one of its most legendary voices. The phrase "Spread Love the Brooklyn Way" served as the campaign's rallying cry. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/lil-kim-brooklyn-nets-debut-notorious-b-i-g-tribute-jerseys-biggie-night/

Cardi B & Jeezy Tease New Collaboration With Cryptic "Snowman" Post

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 09:02 GMT

Cardi B and Jeezy sent the internet into overdrive Tuesday night (November 11) after dropping major hints about a potential collaboration. On Tuesday night (November 11), Cardi posted a striking image on social media showing a black crow, a visual from her Am I The Drama? rollout, perched on top of a snowman-Jeezy's iconic logo. The caption read, "Looks like there is a 100 percent chance of snow tomorrow at 12pm est." That was all it took for speculation to erupt online, with many pointing to a possible remix of Cardi's track "ErrTime." One user commented, "IS JEEZY DA SNOWMAN ON THE ERRTIME REMIX?! BC THAT SOUNDS LIKE HIS TYPE OF PORDY!" Jeezy added fuel to the fire by replying with a single snowman emoji, a move that all but confirmed the rumors.

One excited follower replied, "OMG!!! It's confirmed we're getting the Snowman." "Took yall long enough," added another. "Anybody that heard err time knew this was a Jeezy song." Earlier this week, Cardi teased more surprises in an Instagram montage featuring clips from her album's promotional events. "I can't believe it's been almost two months of AM I THE DRAMA," she wrote. "Thank you everybody so much that's been buying, streaming, and making videos.. the skits lip syncs and choreography... y'all been really holding me down..

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 07:00 GMT

JT is getting back to business after the release of her new single "Girls Gone Wild," by teaming with Flower by Edie Parker and Verano Holdings Corp, to roll out a line of high-end cannabis products across Florida's 82 M V dispensaries. The Grammy-nominated rapper is now the face of a cannabis campaign that blends fashion, lifestyle and marijuana culture. The collaboration introduces vaporizers and vape cartridges, under the Flower by Edie Parker label. The rollout marks a strategic move for all three players. Edie Parker, a women-led brand known for merging design and cannabis, joined forces with Verano, one of the largest multi-state cannabis operators in the U.S., to distribute the products exclusively through Verano's M V dispensaries in Florida. "This partnership represents a significant milestone in bringing design-forward cannabis accessories and premium products to Florida consumers," company representatives said in a joint statement from their New York and Chicago offices. JT's involvement comes just days after the City Girls member deleted her X account following dismal sales of her new single "Girls Gone Wild," which dropped in the middle of a feud with Cardi B. Watch Video on YouTube The backlash and jokes over the single's streaming numbers were so intense, JT decided to take a break from social media. However, she's obviously still focused on her business, having entered the cannabis industry. Verano Holdings Corp., which trades under the symbol VRNO on the Cboe Canada, has steadily grown its influence in Florida's medical marijuana market. Florida's cannabis market has expanded rapidly in recent years, with medical marijuana access increasing and recreational legalization still under debate. The state's 82 M V locations offer a vast distribution network for the new collection, targeting both medical users and style-conscious consumers. JT joins a growing list of Hip-Hop artists investing in the cannabis space, as the industry continues to attract entertainers looking to diversify their portfolios. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/rapper-jt-taking-over-florida-dispensaries-with-her-vape-line-launch/

TikTok Star Hit With $1.75M Judgment For Wrecking Manager's Marriage

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 04:03 GMT

Brenay Kennard must fork over a staggering $1.75 million after a Durham County jury determined the TikTok sensation wrecked her manager's marriage through an extramarital relationship. The social media personality, who commands nearly 3 million TikTok followers and 274,000 Instagram devotees, now confronts one of North Carolina's most substantial alienation of affection verdicts in recent memory. The legal battle centered on accusations that Kennard had engaged in an intimate relationship with Tim Montague, her professional representative, while he was still married to Akira Montague. The couple had exchanged vows on October 20, 2018, laying the groundwork for what would become a costly legal confrontation. Akira Montague's civil complaint, filed in May 2024 with Durham County Superior Court, painted a devastating picture of marital destruction. The plaintiff argued that the affair inflicted severe emotional trauma, compromised her physical well-being, and robbed her children of an intact family structure. The romantic entanglement allegedly unfolded both within the Montague family residence and across Kennard's various social media platforms. The jury's decision split the massive financial penalty into two distinct categories: $1.5 million for alienation of affection and $250,000 for criminal conversation. Watch Video on YouTube These charges represent North Carolina's unique legal framework that permits betrayed spouses to pursue monetary damages against third parties who interfere with their marriages. Kennard vehemently disputed the verdict's validity, claiming the wronged wife had already accepted her marriage's demise. "She gave her consent," Kennard told WRAL. "She said it was okay because she knew her marriage was over with, and it was done." The influencer maintained that Akira Montague was fully aware of the relationship's deteriorating state before any romantic involvement commenced. The case joins North Carolina's lengthy roster of expensive alienation of affection judgments. Historical precedents include Carol Puryear's record-breaking $30 million award in 2011 against Betty Devin, involving Donald Puryear, a trucking company owner. @willowedtears Brenay and Tim could care less I see lol smh #brenay #brenayandtim #brenaykennard #akiramontague #drama ? original sound - ImJustTheMessenger More recently, former state Senator Rick Gunn settled a similar lawsuit for $3 million in 2021 after being accused of maintaining a prolonged affair with his legislative assistant. Robonetta Jones, who represented Akira Montague throughout the proceedings, expressed satisfaction with the outcome. "She has received justice from losing her husband and the father of her children," Jones stated, emphasizing the profound personal losses her client endured. North Carolina remains among only six states maintaining these antiquated legal provisions, which trace their origins to English common law traditions. The statutes allow jilted spouses to seek compensation from individuals they believe destroyed their marriages through romantic interference. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/tiktok-star-hit-with-1-75m-judgment-for-wrecking-managers-marriage/

Kool G Rap & Nas Might Finally Knock Out Full Project

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 03:30 GMT

You know we love Kool G Rap around here. Kool G Rap just dropped a gem and we are all going crazy over it. Hip-Hop heads are buzzing from Queens to Japan. The legendary MC revealed there's a "high probability" he'll be collaborating with Nas for an upcoming installment in the Legend Has It series. Yes, I am sitting up in my Laz-E-Boy. For those not in the loop, Nas' Legend Has It project has been an homage to the architects of the game, those architects who built Hip-Hop's greatness. They were around long before algorithms and TikTok, and sometimes...before the real money. Nas has worked hard to preserve that golden essence with Mobb Deep, Rae & Ghost, Slick Rick, Big L and De La Soul. So, when Kool G Rap - the Godfather of street lyricism and one of Nas' biggest influences - says the odds are high they'll work on a project together...that's crazy. We know they have a storied history. You know the vibes: Watch Video on YouTube Watch Video on YouTube Watch Video on YouTube This could be historic in ways the others were not. G Rap is Nas's OG. He has always given G his flowers. Songs like "N.Y. State of Mind" and "Represent" mimic G Rap's vivid, cinematic storytelling, mafioso wordplay. QGTM! Fans are already losing it online - Corona and Queensbridge connecting. Before we continue, this happened on the recent Rock The Bells Cruise, where G was being interviewed. So, no official confirmation or release date has surfaced. I can totally see this happening. Nas and Kool G Rap on wax? That's like watching two of the best chess players finally sit down for the match the streets have been waiting on for years. By the way, AHH Chief Chuck "Jigsaw" Creekmur was just with G Rap, but did not get any goods on him. Nas actually honored G in Vegas recently too, at the Grandmaster Awards.

Chrisean Rock Getting Married, Said She's Done With Los Angeles Life

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 02:02 GMT

Chrisean Rock stunned fans with major life announcements that signal a dramatic shift from her tumultuous past. The Baltimore native revealed she's leaving Los Angeles behind to build a new chapter in her hometown, complete with wedding plans and a significant real estate investment. "If you want to see me come to Baltimore on my turf where I'm safe at, I'm not going up there in LA unless I get paid and I'm right back in Baltimore," Chrisean Rock said. The reality star and rapper disclosed she has purchased acres of land in Baltimore, marking a strategic move away from the West Coast lifestyle that has defined much of her public persona. Chrisean Rock emphasized her desire to create a safer environment, particularly as she navigates co-parenting responsibilities with her young son, Chrisean Jr. Chrisean went live saying she's not coming back to LA because she doesn't feel safe. She's staying in Baltimore with her pastor, just bought acres of land, and says she's getting married. She's also upset that fans got Steve Wilkos to cover her story.

(@chriseanupdates) November 11, 2025 "I just bought acres of land, I'm building a foundation, a compound, I'm getting married. It's so much things that I've been working on behind the scenes with God. I'm just going to allow Him to just bless it, sanctify it, and that's it. I'm out the way on purpose, bro," she revealed. Chrisean Rock's revelation comes amid ongoing tensions with her baby father, Blueface, who recently completed a prison sentence. The rapper recently said Chrisean Rock and her enemy, Jaidyn Alexis, were "high on dick and balls" if they thought he would be getting back together with either one of them. Days later, Blueface revealed he and Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood star Hazel-E were dating. Her marriage announcement adds another layer to the dramatic transformation. Chrisean Rock has not officially disclosed her partner's identity publicly, but the marriage revelation suggests she has moved on from Blueface and her last boyfriend, HoodTrophy Bino. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/chrisean-rock-getting-married-said-shes-done-with-los-angeles-life/

'I question giving your number to another man when you have a boyfriend': NYC woman has 'wholesome'

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 02:00 GMT

A New York City woman meets a hedge fund manager poolside and enjoys what she thinks is a wholesome conversation with him. Shortly after, he surprises her with a brazen text. TikTok user Nadia (@nadiawilemski) posted a video about the encounter on Oct. 7. "The most disgusting thing that ever happened to me happened to me today," she says to start the video. Nadia explains that she went to the gym today at a location that is attached to a hotel. After her gym session, she decides to visit the pool to enjoy the weather. "I'm sitting by the pool, enjoying the sun, in my little bikini or whatever," she says. That's when a man that she later learns is a 30-year-old hedge fund manager starts up a conversation. Nadia says the discussion lasted about 45 minutes and covered everything from work to life goals. It was actually "wholesome," she says, and she didn't pick up on any "flirty" vibes from the man, which is good because Nadia has a boyfriend. New York City Poolside Convo Goes from 'Wholesome' to 'Excuse Me?' The vibe shifts when the man decides to leave the pool and return to his room. He asks to exchange numbers, and Nadia agrees because she didn't sense he was approaching her romantically. That is, until, about 30 seconds after he leaves the pool, when he texts her if she'd like to come up to his room. Nadia politely declines, and makes sure to alert a friend who is working at the hotel that day about the advance. She returns to her pool chair to find that the man has returned, and he immediately asks her if she checked her phone. "I was like, 'I'm not doing that,'" she says. Things take an even darker turn when the man leaves again only to text Nadia with an even more sinister offer. "He goes, 'I will pay you money if you come up.' Excuse me? I'm like, 'What are you talking about?'" she says. The man went even further by suggesting that it would be a good career and financial choice for Nadia to make. Needless to say, she declined. "He literally tried to pay me to go up to his room," she says. "That's disgusting." Viewers React to the NYC Poolside Proposition In the comments section, viewers weighed in on the interaction and Nadia's decision to give out her phone number in the first place. "I question you giving your number to another man when you have a boyfriend," wrote one user. "Would it be OK for your boyfriend to give/collect numbers from other women?" A second person said they also doubt the man's self-professed job title. "Anyone can say they run a hedge fund," they wrote. "By the way, I run a hedge fund." However, not everyone was as judgmental. "Nothing ventured, nothing gained," said one viewer. Is This Proposition Legal in New York City? This suggestion qualifies as prostitution under New York state law. It is illegal to pay someone in exchange for sex everywhere except Nevada, where the industry is tightly regulated. All Hip Hop contacted Nadia via TikTok direct message for comment. @nadiawilemski LONG BUT WORTH IT LIKE WTF #sofucked #money #intimacy #gym #wack ? original sound - nadiaaaaa .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/newsbreak/new-york-city-hedge-fund-manager-pool-proposition/

Wendy Williams Receives Game-Changing Diagnosis That Could End Guardianship

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 01:00 GMT

Wendy Williams received a stunning medical update in New York that directly challenges the dementia diagnosis used to justify her court-ordered guardianship since 2022. A respected neurologist in Manhattan recently completed a battery of tests and determined Williams does not have frontotemporal dementia, according to sources familiar with the evaluation. According to TMZ., the findings were delivered to her legal team late last month and could become the centerpiece in their push to terminate the guardianship that has governed nearly every part of her personal and financial life. The 61-year-old former daytime TV host has been under legal supervision for nearly three years, a decision supported initially by a diagnosis of both frontotemporal dementia and aphasia. That diagnosis, announced publicly in February 2024, cited symptoms including memory issues, language difficulties and erratic behavior. Williams' attorneys now plan to present the new medical findings to the court, arguing for an end to the restrictive arrangement. They believe the neurologist's report could be the key to restoring her independence. The guardianship was first initiated after Wells Fargo raised red flags about Williams' financial safety. In 2022, the bank sent a letter to New York Supreme Court Judge Arlene Bluth, stating it had "strong reason to believe" that Williams was being financially exploited and manipulated by those around her. Watch Video on YouTube That triggered a court-appointed guardianship that has since come under intense scrutiny. Kevin Hunter, Williams' ex-husband, filed a $250 million lawsuit in June, accusing the system of harming rather than helping her. His legal complaint alleged that Williams was "being abused, neglected, and defrauded under the care of court-appointed guardians." Hunter further claimed she was "confined against her will at one of Coterie's assisted living facilities with restricted access to her own phone and meaningful contact with her friends and family." He described the guardianship as having "become a weapon, not a shield." A judge dismissed the case, ruling that he cannot act as her legal representative. The new medical evaluation directly contradicts the diagnosis that formed the basis of the guardianship. Williams had reportedly shown signs of cognitive decline, including struggling to find words and displaying unpredictable behavior. Those symptoms had prompted concerns from both her inner circle and medical professionals. In addition to the contested dementia diagnosis, Williams continues to manage other health issues, including Graves' disease and lymphedema, which have impacted her mobility and overall well-being. Williams built a media empire through her unfiltered commentary and her departure from the spotlight followed years of health complications that eventually sidelined her from "The Wendy Williams Show." Now, with a new medical report in hand, her legal team is preparing to argue that the conditions justifying her guardianship no longer apply. The next steps in her legal battle could determine whether she regains control over her life and career. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/wendy-williams-received-game-changing-diagnosis-that-could-end-guardianship/

Max B Is A Married Man Already, Sources Say

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 00:30 GMT

Harlem's own Max B wasted no time turning freedom into forever. Just a day after walking out of prison, the "Wave God" got down to biz and gave his lady her ring in New York City. The rapper, born Charly Wingate, served more than 15 years behind bars after receiving a 75-year sentence in 2009. His term was later reduced, paving the way for one of Hip-Hop's most anticipated homecomings. Max B's release spread like wildfire, but there was one thing that most people did not realize. It seems like Max got married in jail or super duper fast soon as he got out. We saw the play-by-play as he emerged back into free world. Many wondered where his lady was. Personally, I did not trip off it. I just watched him do all the things, from Jets games to getting dressed. We did not see him hit up city hall and get hitched. He could have, but most are saying it was in jail. View this post on Instagram Regardless, he finally gifted his world with her ring. That sucker was bling-blinging all over the place at a private dinner. The moment marked the start of a new era for the Harlem native. Bro starts off his new life the right way. Leave those crazy women alone! A lot of people thought he was proposing, but I noticed he did not get down on one knee. I knew he could not be THAT gangster! You gotta bend the knee for your wife. There's not a lot more to say here, but Max B's comeback story is writing itself. Rumor has it he's got to get a job, but that is cool to me. He apparently tried to get a gig with the NYC Jets. Since they are terrible, he probably could play for the team. LOL! I suppose he's going to be rapping on the side. I am not mad at that either. I guess we will find out the terms of his nuptials soon, but he's married. And then there is this: View this post on Instagram .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/rumors/max-b-is-a-married-man-already-sources-say/

Kim Kardashian Unleashes Foul Mouthed Rant At Psychics Over Failed Bar Exam

Posted by itstheboombap — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 00:05 GMT

Kim Kardashian expressed her frustration with a group of psychics who incorrectly predicted she would pass the bar exam, venting her anger while prepping for her mother's star-studded birthday bash at Jeff Bezos's Beverly Hills estate. In a TikTok video posted Monday, Kardashian aired her grievances while getting glammed up for Kris Jenner's 007-themed 70th birthday celebration, which took place Saturday night at the Amazon founder's ultra-exclusive mansion. The video opens with the SKIMS mogul on the phone during her makeup session, sounding off on the mystics who gave her false hope. "I'm just letting you guys know, all of the f###### psychics that we have met with, and that we're obsessed with, are all f###### full of s**t," Kim Kardashian said. "They all collectively, maybe four of them, have told me I was gonna pass the bar, so they're all full pathological liars, don't believe anything they say." Watch Video on YouTube Earlier that same day, the 45-year-old shared the disappointing news on Instagram Stories, confirming she didn't pass the bar exam. "Well...I'm not a lawyer yet, I just play a very well-dressed one on TV," she wrote, nodding to her role in the legal drama All's Fair. "Six years into this law journey, and I'm still all in until I pass the bar. No shortcuts, no giving up - just more studying and even more determination." Kardashian began her legal studies in 2019 and passed California's First-Year Law Students' Examination, commonly known as the "baby bar," on her fourth try in December 2021. She completed her legal education earlier this year and has since taken the bar exam once. The TikTok clip also captured a lighter moment as Kardashian debated whether to wear a short wig inspired by Halle Berry's look in the 2002 James Bond film Die Another Day. "I'm doing the Halle Berry hair. Do you see my reference?" she asked Kendall Jenner over a video call. In the end, she opted for a sleek chignon instead of the wig. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/kim-kardashian-unleashes-foul-mouthed-rant-at-psychics-over-failed-bar-exam/

Diddy Joins Rehab Program After Allegedly Getting Busted With Prison H####

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 11 Nov 2025 23:04 GMT

Diddy has joined a federal drug rehabilitation program at Fort Dix prison in New Jersey, a move that could trim up to a year off his sentence stemming from prostitution-related charges. The former Hip-Hop mogul, who began serving more than four years behind bars, was accepted into the Bureau of Prisons' Residential Drug Abuse Program, a structured treatment plan that includes intensive therapy. According to the Bureau's records, Diddy is currently scheduled for release in May 2028, but participation in the program could lead to early release. A spokesperson for Diddy, Juda Engelmayer, confirmed the development, telling The New York Times that the artist is "committed to sobriety, focused on healing, and trying to set an example for others." Watch Video on YouTube Diddy's legal team previously acknowledged his past substance abuse, including opiates, but said he has remained clean since being incarcerated. During his trial, federal prosecutors presented evidence of drug use, including narcotics seized during a raid of his mansion. Authorities recovered cocaine, ketamine, MDMA tablets and benzodiazepines before his arrest. Now housed in a unit with roughly 200 inmates, Diddy shares a nine-person room and works in the facility's chapel library, according to Engelmayer. Last week, TMZ reported that Diddy had been caught consuming homemade alcohol behind bars, but Engelmayer denied the claim. Diddy was recently transferred to Fort Dix after sentencing and began serving his term earlier this year. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/diddy-joins-rehab-program-after-allegedly-getting-busted-with-prison-hooch/

Delonte West's Helpers Respond To Critics After Former NBA Player's Latest Legal Trouble

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 11 Nov 2025 22:45 GMT

Delonte West is facing another controversy after caretakers defend their motives amid exploitation accusations following the former NBA guard's recent arrest in Virginia. The 42-year-old West was discovered unconscious at a Fairfax County intersection on November 3 and required Narcan administration before being arrested for public intoxication. Following his release, videos emerged showing an unidentified couple who had provided West with housing, prompting online critics to question their intentions. The backlash intensified when social media users accused the pair of exploiting West's vulnerable condition for attention and potential financial benefit. The accusations forced one of West's caretakers to respond publicly through a video shared by Rain Drops Media on X. "We actually lose out financially by what we are doing. We are coming out of our own pockets. We're doing this out of the graciousness of our hearts and the kindness of our souls. And I hope you guys could find the peace and love within yourselves so you can do the same," the woman stated in her defense. Couple accused of exploiting former NBA player Delonte West to go viral after letting him stay at their house. The woman denies the claims, saying they're helping him out of pure kindness and nothing else. Thoughts?

pic.twitter.com/4mG2fZNWPa — Rain Drops Media (@Raindropsmedia1) November 10, 2025 The response generated mixed reactions across social platforms. Supporters praised the woman's compassion, while skeptics questioned why genuine charitable acts needed public documentation in today's content-driven culture. West's struggles represent one of the most heartbreaking post-career trajectories in professional basketball. Selected 24th overall by Boston in the 2004 NBA Draft, he compiled a nine-season career with the Celtics, Cleveland Cavaliers, Dallas Mavericks and Seattle SuperSonics, earning approximately $16 million in career earnings. His professional accomplishments included helping Cleveland reach the 2007 NBA Finals and establishing himself as a tenacious defender. However, mental health challenges emerged during his playing days when he received a bipolar disorder diagnosis in 2008, though West later expressed uncertainty about the condition. Since retirement, West has endured repeated cycles of homelessness, substance abuse and legal troubles. Previous intervention attempts by NBA figures, including Mark Cuban and former teammates, have provided temporary stability but failed to create lasting change. Recent months have brought additional concerning incidents. Videos circulated showing West dancing roadside while fans offered him money and the November 3 arrest marked another low point in West's ongoing battle with addiction and mental health issues.

Rod Wave "Unjustly Profiled" & Arrested By Quota-Driven Cops, Lawyers Claim

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 11 Nov 2025 22:05 GMT

Rod Wave found himself behind bars in Atlanta just hours after celebrating his inaugural Grammy Award nomination, creating a dramatic contrast between career triumph and legal troubles. The 27-year-old Florida artist was taken into custody Friday evening following a traffic violation on Howell Mill Road. Law enforcement officials report they initially stopped the rapper after witnessing him accelerate through a stop sign at excessive speed. During the roadside encounter, officers discovered what they believed to be marijuana and additional controlled substances inside the vehicle. Authorities also located a firearm on Green's person, leading to multiple felony charges. Fulton County Jail records indicate Rod Wave faces three serious allegations: possessing a firearm during the commission of certain felonies, holding Schedule II and Schedule V controlled substances, and reckless driving violations. The timing proved particularly ironic, as Rod Wave had received his first-ever Grammy recognition earlier that same day. His track "Sinners," featured in the film bearing the same title, earned him a nomination in the Best Song Written for Visual Media category. Rod Wave's legal team responded to the arrest, issuing a statement through attorneys Drew Findling, Zach Findling, and Marissa Goldberg. Watch Video on YouTube The lawyers claimed their client was "unjustly profiled and unlawfully arrested in Atlanta" and accused the Atlanta Police Department's Crime Suppression Unit of employing a "quota-driven approach" to arrests. "We look forward to vigorously challenging this baseless arrest and the clear violations of Mr. Green's rights in court," the attorneys wrote. Rod Wave secured his release Saturday after posting bail, spending approximately 24 hours in custody. This latest incident marks another chapter in Rod Wave's ongoing legal battles within the Atlanta metropolitan area. Earlier this year, the Fulton County Sheriff's Office issued an arrest warrant containing twelve separate charges, including aggravated assault, criminal property damage, and evidence tampering allegations. Less than thirty days following those charges, the same agency filed additional battery accusations against the rapper. Authorities have not released additional details regarding the specific substances allegedly found during the traffic stop or the circumstances surrounding the firearm discovery. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/rod-wave-unjustly-profiled-arrested-by-quota-driven-cops-lawyers-claim/

Chrisean Rock Under Fire After Using Son's Hair As Kleenex

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 11 Nov 2025 21:00 GMT

Chrisean Rock found herself at the center of intense criticism after a livestream video showed her using her two-year-old son's hair as a tissue during what appeared to be a casual broadcast session. The media personality and reality star wiped her nose with her hand before rubbing the residue on young Chrisean Malone Jr.'s head, creating an immediate uproar across social media platforms. The incident occurred during a Monday (November 10) livestream that quickly went viral, drawing condemnation from viewers who called the behavior inappropriate and unsanitary. Social media users expressed outrage over the footage, with many demanding intervention from Child Protective Services. "She has issues. Get her some real help," one user commented on the viral clip. Another wrote, "Proof not everyone should be allowed to have kids," while a third added, "Cuz what type of mother messes up their child due to their intoxication and then use them like a worthless napkin. Not everyone deserves to be parents, but every child needs a parent." Did Chrisean really just use her baby as a rag to wipe her own nose??? pic.twitter.com/sccs2HLYKt - She's Fishy ? (@ShesFishy) November 10, 2025 The controversial moment arrives during an ongoing custody dispute between Rock and rapper Blueface, the father of their son. The former couple has been engaged in a public legal battle over parental rights, with both facing multiple arrests in recent months that have complicated their case. Authorities previously arrested Rock at a courthouse during one of Blueface's hearings. Following that incident, officials temporarily removed her son from her care, adding another layer to their already complex custody arrangement. Child Protective Services has intervened multiple times in the couple's situation. Reports indicate that CPS conducted a raid on Rock's residence after video evidence suggested she had placed her child in dangerous situations, including allegedly leaving him locked inside a vehicle during extreme heat conditions. During the home inspection, authorities reportedly discovered alcohol and illegal substances on the premises, leading to child endangerment charges and the temporary removal of her son from her custody. These findings have strengthened concerns about the child's welfare and safety. Family disputes have further complicated the situation, with public confrontations involving Rock, Blueface's other former partner Jaidyn Alexis, and Rock's own relatives. One of Rock's sisters allegedly refused to return her son during a custody exchange, while another family member's erratic behavior required police intervention. The latest livestream incident has intensified public scrutiny of Rock's parenting abilities and reignited discussions about child safety in celebrity households. As her custody battle with Blueface continues through the court system, this new controversy adds additional complications to their already turbulent co-parenting relationship. Fans and followers have expressed deep concern about the welfare of their son, with many calling for immediate intervention to ensure the child's safety and well-being. The incident has also raised broader questions about social media responsibility and the impact of public behavior on ongoing legal proceedings. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/chrisean-rock-under-fire-after-using-sons-hair-as-kleenex/

EXCLUSIVE: Prosecutors Claim Lil Durk's Crew Tried To Intimidate Judge & Prosecutor, Demand Anonymou

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 11 Nov 2025 20:03 GMT

Lil Durk is being labeled a "serious threat" by federal prosecutors, who say his Only The Family (OTF) associates are so dangerous that jurors' names and personal details must remain secret in his upcoming racketeering trial. In a blistering eight-page document filed November 10, 2025, in Los Angeles federal court, the government said Durk has shown "contempt for the judicial process" and that his OTF network has already intimidated witnesses, threatened a magistrate judge and even targeted a federal prosecutor. The filing supports a government motion to empanel an anonymous jury, stating that it is necessary to "protect prospective jurors and prevent any interference with the judicial process." Prosecutors argue that Durk's organization operates like an enterprise that blends legitimate business with organized crime. The feds say OTF has a "violent history" that includes OTF members allegedly being paid to kill a Chicago gang rival and carrying out acts of retaliation at Durk's direction. The government says threats have already emerged from OTF affiliates and supporters who have "shown their willingness to threaten those involved in this high-profile trial," including a magistrate judge and an Assistant U.S. Attorney. Prosecutors also detailed Durk's "obstructive conduct" while in federal custody, accusing him of using other inmates' phone PINs and attempting to destroy a contraband Apple Watch capable of outside communication. Durk's defense team insists OTF is simply a music label and not a criminal network. They claim the government's request is based on "speculation and mischaracterization" and argue that keeping juror identities secret would hinder their ability to select an impartial jury. Watch Video on YouTube But prosecutors counter that the risk of intimidation far outweighs any inconvenience to the defense. They argue that juror anonymity is "constitutionally permissible" and that neither side needs access to jurors' names, home addresses, or workplaces. "Preventing the leaking of jurors' personal identifying information is a paramount concern in a case where supporters have already made threats," the filing says. The government is asking Judge Michael W. Fitzgerald to block disclosure of all juror identifiers to both the defense and prosecution-an extraordinary step typically reserved for terrorism or mob cases. Durk is being held without bail for allegedly orchestrating a 2022 murder-for-hire plot aimed at killing Savannah rapper Quando Rondo in revenge for the death of his cousin, King Von. Prosecutors say members of Durk's Only The Family crew tracked Rondo to Los Angeles and opened fire near the Beverly Center on August 19, 2022, killing Lul Pab. The superseding federal indictment accuses Durk of conspiracy, using interstate facilities to commit murder-for-hire resulting in death, and discharging a machine gun during a violent crime. Prosecutors allege Durk financed the operation, providing travel, weapons, and equipment for the hit. He has pleaded not guilty and faces life in prison if convicted. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/exclusive-prosecutors-claim-lil-durks-crew-tried-to-intimidate-judge-prosecutor-demand-anonymous-jury/

Zendaya Allegedly Refuses To Promote "Euphoria" With Sydney Sweeney After Racist Ad Scandal

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 11 Nov 2025 19:30 GMT

Zendaya is reportedly steering clear of joint press appearances with Sydney Sweeney for Euphoria Season 3 as tensions rise over Sweeney's controversial ad campaign and her Republican voter registration. According to a report from the Daily Mail, the Emmy winner has opted out of any shared promotional duties with her co-star ahead of the show's Spring 2026 return. The decision follows backlash over Sweeney's American Eagle ad, which drew criticism for what many viewed as racially charged messaging. The ad featured the line "Sydney Sweeney has great genes," with the word "genes" crossed out and replaced with "jeans." Critics slammed the campaign for its perceived ties to white supremacist language and eugenics. The controversy intensified after former President Donald Trump publicly praised the ad, saying he "loved" it. Soon after, public records revealed that Sweeney had registered as a Republican voter in Florida ahead of the 2024 election, fueling the backlash further. When asked about the criticism in a recent GQ interview, Sweeney brushed it off. "I did a jean ad," she said. "I mean, the reaction definitely was a surprise, but I love jeans."

Sydney Sweeney stood on business in recent interview Woke interviewer asked Sweeney to address the "Jeans" scandal The respond: "If I had an issue I want to talk about, people would hear" pic.twitter.com/MsW9YdDNdG — Svilen Georgiev (@siscostwo) November 7, 2025 Zendaya, who has publicly opposed Trump-era policies in the past, notably responded to a 2017 comment from then-White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders by posting on X, "It's not funny," after Sanders claimed Trump was joking about encouraging police brutality. Industry insiders say Zendaya's refusal to appear alongside Sweeney is a deliberate move to distance herself from the political and racial controversy surrounding her co-star. "It's no wonder she's refusing to do it," a source told the Daily Mail. "It's a difficult position for Zendaya to be in because if she even stands next to Sydney on the red carpet, it can be read as her excusing Sydney's views on Trump and her refusal to apologize for the racist ad." The timing couldn't be worse for Sweeney, who is already facing professional setbacks. Her biographical boxing drama "Christy" opened to just $1.3 million across more than 2,000 theaters, despite a $15 million production budget. The film's weak debut marks one of the lowest in recent box office memory. Sweeney defended the film in an Instagram post, writing, "We don't always just make art for numbers, we make it for impact. And Christy has been the most impactful project of my life." "Christy" is Sweeney's third consecutive theatrical miss in 2025, raising questions about her box office appeal amid ongoing public criticism. With HBO's Euphoria set to return in 2026, the reported rift between its two leading stars may complicate the network's marketing efforts for one of its most-watched series. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/rumors/zendaya-allegedly-refuses-promote-euphoria-sydney-sweeney/

Nicki Minaj Slammed For Amplifying Trump Administration "Achievements"

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 11 Nov 2025 19:03 GMT

Nicki Minaj stirred backlash online Tuesday after resharing a White House TikTok that showcased former President Donald Trump celebrating his administration's policies using a remix of her music. The video highlighted Trump's stances on border control, gas prices and transgender athletes in sports-prompting criticism from LGBTQ+ advocates and immigrant communities who viewed the post as an endorsement of discriminatory agendas. The TikTok, originally posted by the official White House account, featured a montage of Trump's latest moves set to Nicki Minaj's song "Va Va Voom." she can't be serious... pic.twitter.com/tWjGVkGOP0 — Nicki Minaj Support (@NMSupportt) November 11, 2025 Critics pounced on the rapper and questioned why the Trinidad and Tobago-born artist would amplify a message tied to anti-immigrant and anti-trans rhetoric. Many pointed to the irony of Minaj, an immigrant herself, engaging with content that promotes policies seen as exclusionary and noted the strength of her LGBTQ+ followers. "Majority of her fanbase is part of the LGBTQ they are her core audience and supporters," one user wrote. Another said: "She's not even American why tf is she feeding into the 'protect our people' 'Americans first' like she's one of them. They wil be the first to tear her down when needed." Supporters of Minaj argued that her repost was more about acknowledging the use of her music than a political endorsement. Last week, Nicki Minaj re-posted The White House's mashup of "Beez in the Trap" and 4 Non Blondes' "What's Up?" while showing Trump and Melania walking hand-in-hand on a balcony. The footage also included clips from Trump's inauguration and was set to a beat that has recently gone viral on social media. The President & First Lady of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nicki Minaj also previously praised Trump's comments on religious persecution in Nigeria, further fueling debate about her stance on global and domestic issues. ? an immigrant who came here illegally reposting something saying the border was closed by trump pic.twitter.com/xYC5pzQ672 — thank u, next

The Truth Behind That Shocking Bloated Anthony Davis Photo Everyone's Sharing

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 11 Nov 2025 18:45 GMT

Anthony Davis got dragged into some bogus internet drama after a fake pic showing him lookin' like he packed on pounds hit social media while he's been out with an injury. The phony photo originated from the parody account NBA Centel, which is known for its online antics. This time, they cooked up a heavily edited image of the Dallas Mavericks forward lookin' bloated and out of shape and folks online ran with it like it was real. Anthony Davis

pic.twitter.com/pQN7oWy7t6 — NBACentel (@TheNBACentel) November 11, 2025 Anthony Davis is CHUNKY now

Dallas really was the problem pic.twitter.com/gvG7Ok1dUD — BrickCenter (@BrickCenter_) November 11, 2025 Davis hasn't touched the court in six straight games thanks to a calf issue he caught early in Dallas' game against the Pacers on October 29. He's only logged five games this season and the injury bug is once again messing with his availability. Jason Kidd, the Mavs' head coach, isn't dropping a return date yet, but said Davis is moving along with rehab and working out on the floor. Real photos from the sidelines show him next to Kidd, lookin' like his usual athletic self, with no wild weight gain in sight. So that viral image is total cap. Dallas took a close L to the Bucks 116-114 on Monday night with Davis was still out and the team's not rushing him back, trying to keep him healthy for the long haul. Injuries have been a thing for Davis for years now. This calf strain is just the latest in a long list of issues that's sidelined him in past seasons. The Mavs are playing it safe, hoping he can get back on the court soon without risking more damage.

SIGNS: Man Who Lost $883M Bitcoin Finally Stops Searching Landfill

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 11 Nov 2025 17:30 GMT

James Howells and his lost Bitcoin hard drive is the stuff legends are made of. Bro is finally closing the most expensive chapter in crypto history. After twelve long years, two major court battles and one very stubborn landfill, the Newport, Wales engineer is ending his search. You might remember him. He is the one who accidentally lost 8,000 bitcoins...now worth roughly $883 million. He has officially waved the white flag on recovering them. But he's turning his loss into a new hustle. Let us recap. Howells' story has been digital legend since 2013, when he claims his ex-girlfriend mistakenly threw away a hard drive holding his Bitcoin wallet. For the record, I never thought was an accident, but that is my POV. Since then, he's been battling Newport City Council for permission to dig up the landfill where he believes it lies buried under tons of waste. His efforts has not been cheap - $149,000. Earlier this year, Howells made one last Hail Mary. He made a multi-million-dollar offer to buy the entire landfill before the council closes it in 2026. But, for some reason, the council wasn't having it. It could be the $149,000 in legal costs he owes them. "We will not be spending any more of our officers' time on this issue until that payment is made," the council told the BBC. Damn. Howells fired back, "If they don't wish to sell the site, they should say so clearly. But this tactic of using unrelated debts to shut down a lawful offer-one that's in the public interest-raises serious questions, not just legally but morally." I actually agree with him. I knew he would never find that drive, but now he's got a new drive. Ceiniog Coin. Instead of trying to dig up his missing millions, Howells plans to back a new cryptocurrency. Will, this work... somehow linking this new coin to the value of his legendary lost wallet? Seems so. Crypto expert Josh Riddict told the BBC the idea actually makes sense in principle. "Since James' wallet is publicly known and the blockchain is there for all to see, it's easy evidence that these 8,000 coins do indeed exist," Riddict said. "The need to readily access them to 'prove' their existence simply isn't required. Ultimately, the market will decide how valuable they deem this new coin offering to be." After over a decade of digging, Howells now says he's ready to move forward. Good luck with Ceiniog Coin, bro. I hope you get even a fraction of that $883 million! Damn... .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/rumors/signs-man-who-lost-883m-bitcoin-finally-stops-searching-in-landfill/

'Now I go with much bigger equipment': Florida Sam's Club shopper used to 'swear' by this $97 Stanle

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 11 Nov 2025 17:00 GMT

A Florida roadside assistance technician and Sam's Club shopper says he used to swear by the Stanley Fatmax jump starter when he was first in the business. This is why he eventually switched. TikTok user Julio (@theroadsidegenius) posted a video about the Stanley Fatmax Professional Power Station during a visit to Sam's Club on Oct. 9. He films the video in the aisle at an Orlando Sam's Club where the Fatmax is on sale for $97.98. "Roadside confessions," Julio says to start the video. "When I first started doing roadside assistance, I swore up and down by this jump box right here. Because at that point in time in my life, it was $65 at Sam's Club. I wouldn't recommend it now, because now I go with much bigger equipment." Florida Man's 'Roadside Assistance Confessions' In the comments section, several viewers weighed in to say that they can relate to Julio's confession. It seems that he isn't the first mechanic or roadside assistance tech to choose the Stanley Fatmax as their first jump starter. "My nephew started out with one of these," wrote one viewer. "Got one at auction for $20 and loved it until a buddy left it in the rain and ruined it. But there's definitely better options now and smaller ones too," said a second viewer. "Yes, we've all fallen short of the glory," joked a third viewer. Someone else asked what Julio would recommend instead. "JNC or NOCO," he wrote. Why Is Stanley Fatmax a Beginner's Jump Starter? The Stanley Fatmax Professional Power Station is a jump starter with 24-inch jumper clamps, 1200 amps, a 120 PSI air compressor, and four USB charging ports. It features an alternator check button, a battery status button, and an area light power button. It also has a storage compartment and a nozzle adapter. The Jump-N-Carry JNC660 jump starter Julio recommended, which generally retails for about $135, peaks at 1700 amps. They're specifically designed for mechanics and other service professionals, so not only does it have more power, but it's also known for its reliability and durability. For $150, the NOCO GB50 will net you 1500 amps. That's enough to jump start 30 vehicles on a single charge. It can jump start all terrain vehicles, motorcycles, RVs, tractors, trucks, vans, and even watercraft. That must be what Julio is talking about when he refers to "bigger equipment." All Hip Hop contacted Julio via TikTok comment and direct message for comment. @theroadsidegenius I used to swear by these

6ix9ine's Cruel Joke About Demi Lovato's Overdose Sparks Backlash

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 11 Nov 2025 15:00 GMT

6ix9ine stirred intense backlash after mocking Demi Lovato and her battle with addiction during a podcast appearance where he suggested sending her drugs to trigger a relapse. During an episode of Andie Elle's podcast, the polarizing rapper veered into controversial territory when the conversation shifted to former child stars and addiction. After the host mentioned being sober, 6ix9ine responded by invoking Lovato's near-fatal overdose in 2018. "She's gonna relapse," he said. "Let's send her a gift. Let's send her some..." The final word was censored, but context made it clear he was referring to narcotics. He added, "Make her relapse." 6ix9ine says he thinks Demi Lovato is gonna relapse and he'll send her a "gift" to help make it happen...

pic.twitter.com/5r9ywv5Ic2 — She's Fishy ? (@ShesFishy) November 11, 2025 The remarks were met with immediate outrage across social media, with critics calling them cruel and dangerous. Many pointed to Lovato's 2018 overdose, which led to three strokes, a heart attack and lasting brain damage. The singer has since spoken openly about her recovery, including her use of Vivitrol injections and complete abstinence from substances. Lovato's transparency has made her a vocal advocate for mental health and substance abuse awareness. Her supporters rallied behind her, condemning 6ix9ine's comments as reckless and deeply offensive. When questioned about the uproar, 6ix9ine defended his remarks in a statement to TMZ, saying, "Dark humor is going extinct," and added, "People in this new generation are just overly sensitive." His attempt to brush off the criticism only intensified the backlash. Many argued that joking about addiction-especially involving someone who nearly died-is not comedy but cruelty.

Questlove Teases Unreleased D'Angelo Music: "You'll See Soon"

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 11 Nov 2025 14:00 GMT

Questlove teased the existence of unreleased music from the late D'Angelo while honoring funk icon Sly Stone at the 2025 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony over the weekend. The Roots drummer and Oscar-winning filmmaker revealed the news during an interview with entertainment reporter Courtney Tezeno, following his tribute performance for Sly and the Family Stone. View this post on Instagram A post shared by ONE Musicfest (@onemusicfest) When asked about unreleased tracks from D'Angelo, he responded with a knowing smile and said, "You'll see soon." He added, "It's always the sound of yesterday, but for the future. This record is no different." D'Angelo, who passed away in October 2025 after a battle with pancreatic cancer, left behind a legacy that reshaped modern R&B. Albums like Voodoo and Black Messiah cemented his influence on neo-soul and Hip-Hop, and his death left a void in the music world. Questlove featured D'Angelo in his latest documentary, Sly Lives, which explores the rise, fall and influence of Sly Stone. The film follows Questlove's acclaimed Summer of Soul and continues his deep dive into the lives of music legends. The tribute concert brought together a powerhouse lineup including Stevie Wonder, Maxwell, Beck and Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers. Together, they performed a medley of Sly and the Family Stone classics in celebration of the group's Hall of Fame induction. D'Angelo's last album, Black Messiah, dropped in 2014. With Questlove's remarks, there's renewed hope that more of the Virginia-born artist's work may soon emerge.

Diddy Gets Top Prison Job & Rehab Placement, Faces Discipline For Call Violation

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 11 Nov 2025 12:00 GMT

Sean "Diddy" Combs reportedly landed a coveted job and enrolled in an intensive rehab program at Fort Dix federal prison, but still ran into trouble after violating phone rules just days into his sentence. The embattled Hip-Hop mogul is now working as a chaplain's assistant at the New Jersey facility, one of the most desirable inmate positions available, according to CBS News. The role gives him access to a climate-controlled chapel library and a private office, along with the rare privilege of sharing food brought in for religious services. His publicist, Juda Engelmayer, described the environment as "warm, respectful, and rewarding." The position also includes administrative duties like maintaining records, cleaning offices, and managing call-out lists that determine which inmates can leave their units for appointments or programs. That task alone can offer influence within the prison population. View this post on Instagram A post shared by AllHipHop (@allhiphopcom) At the same time, Diddy is participating in the Residential Drug Abuse Program (RDAP), the Bureau of Prisons' most rigorous substance abuse treatment. Entry into the program is selective and often delayed, but successful completion can shave up to a year off an inmate's sentence. "Mr. Combs is an active participant in the Residential Drug Abuse Program (RDAP) and has taken his rehabilitation process seriously from the start," Engelmayer said. "He is fully engaged in his work, focused on growth, and committed to positive change." Diddy's legal team previously cited drug use as a major factor in his controversial behavior, including what they referred to as "freak-offs." In a letter to Judge Arun Subramanian, he wrote that he was "now sober for the first time in 25 years" and committed to confronting his "drug abuse and anger issues." "Prison will change you or kill you - I choose to live," he wrote in his sentencing memo. Watch Video on YouTube Diddy Allegedly Violated Prison Phone Rules But the mogul's transition hasn't been without missteps. On November 3, just four days after arriving at Fort Dix, Diddy reportedly violated prison rules by participating in a three-way phone call - a breach of federal policy that restricts inmates to single-party calls with approved contacts only. According to the publication, Diddy called a woman and asked to speak with "the digital person" about blogs. She asked if she should add the person to the call, and he said yes. The conversation initially focused on visitation plans, including a suggestion to bring "200 singles," though the reason for the cash remains unclear. Federal prisons prohibit paper money, allowing only coins for vending machines. The woman then added an unidentified man to the call, bypassing standard security protocols. Diddy later explained that the third person was part of his legal team and was helping draft a statement for approval by The New York Times. He denied discussing blogs. Multi-party calls are banned due to concerns they could be used to coordinate illegal activity, including smuggling, gang operations, or witness tampering. Diddy claimed he was unaware of the rule, saying he never received the orientation handbook upon arrival. Prison officials recommended a 90-day suspension of his phone and commissary privileges. The disciplinary action was filed on November 4, his 56th birthday. Engelmayer defended the incident, saying, "It was a procedural call initiated by one of his attorneys and was protected under the attorney-client privilege. There was nothing improper." His legal team had previously requested placement that would support his rehabilitation and allow for more family visits - goals that appear partially met through his current assignments. Rumors that Diddy was drinking inside the prison have circulated, but his representatives denied those claims. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/diddy-top-prison-job-rehab-placement-faces-discipline-call-violation/

'They just didn't want to': South Carolina Publix deli runs out of banana peppers for customer's sub

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 11 Nov 2025 11:00 GMT

After learning her local Publix deli was out of banana peppers for her sub, a South Carolina woman questions why the staff couldn't simply walk over to the aisle and grab a replacement. Apparently, she's not the only one with this question. TikTok user Galina Mamontova (@galinamamontova) posted the video with her Publix deli question on Sep. 24. She starts the video with a simple question. "Can someone at Publix please tell me how y'all run out of things at the deli?" she asks. Mamontova explained that she just went to Publix for a sub and asked the deli worker to add banana peppers to it. "She was like, 'We're out of banana peppers.' I was like, 'OK, no problem, I'll just get jalapenos,'" she says. "But I thought about it and I was like, 'I really want banana peppers.'" She decided that she could just go to the banana pepper aisle on her way out of the store and add them to her sub at home. But then it occurred to her that the deli workers at Publix could easily do the same thing. "How am I willing to just go to the aisle, get banana peppers, and call it a day, but how are they not able to?" she asks. Viewers React to South Carolina Woman's Publix Sub Question In the comments, former and current Publix employees weighed in on the question. One segment of the commenters said that the deli worker or the manager can actually pull product off of the shelves to serve customers. "I guarantee if you ask the store manager, they will grab a bottle of them off the shelf and take it to the deli," wrote one person. "Signed, a former store manager." A second viewer agreed. "The deli manager should have already done that." However, another segment of the commenters said it's not as easy as it might sound. "The deli has to order the toppings from the supplier," one viewer wrote. "Once we run out of those, we're out. If a customer wants them and we're out, we can pull them from the shelf to meet your needs. The banana peppers that are on the shelf are not the same ones the deli gets in for subs. It's just a different process and not as cut and dry as you would think." Can the Publix Deli Take Toppings from the Grocery Section? While it's not common or particularly cost effective, sometimes restaurateurs use grocery store ingredients to supplement their inventories. So it doesn't appear government regulation would bar this activity. Furthermore, according to the Publix deli page, customers can choose from the selection of meats and cheeses at the deli counter, and they can also even look around the store and pick other brands that they'd like to try. The deli worker will slice those up to create a customized sandwich. Although the page doesn't specifically mention banana peppers, it seems reasonable to assume that the policy extends to toppings. Either way, as Mamontova proved with her video, it never hurts to at least ask. All Hip Hop contacted Mamontova via TikTok comment and direct message for comment. @galinamamontova #pubsub #delisandwich #mukbang #eatingshowasmr ? original sound - Galina Mamontova .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/newsbreak/south-carolina-publix-deli-banana-peppers/

50 Cent Fires Back After Vivica A. Fox Warns Women Not To Date Him

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 11 Nov 2025 11:00 GMT

50 Cent responded to Vivica A. Fox with a playful jab after the actress told a crowd she regretted dating him and warned others not to follow in her footsteps. The G-Unit mogul posted an AI-generated image of himself holding a red and blue pill on Monday night (November 10). "Either way I'm a have that ass in the matrix," he captioned the post. 'You know I love me some you girl, but Damn it's been 22 years Vivica." View this post on Instagram A post shared by 50 Cent (@50cent) His post came just days after Fox opened up during a keynote speech at the New Jersey Ultimate Women's Expo, where she reflected on their brief but headline-grabbing relationship from 2003. When asked what advice she would give her 17-year-old self, the 61-year-old actress didn't hesitate. "Don't date 50 Cent," she said, drawing laughter from the audience. "Don't date no damn rappers." But the moment turned serious as she revealed the emotional toll the relationship took on her. "Just so you know, it took me years to be able to laugh about it," Fox said. "I had to learn to laugh not to cry no more. But I did it." Watch Video on YouTube Their romance began after 50 Cent publicly flirted with her at the 2003 BET Awards. The relationship lasted about eight months but has managed to stay in the public conversation for over two decades, often reigniting through interviews, social media posts or throwback clips. In a 2024 interview, Fox described the "In Da Club" rapper as "the love of my life" and said he would "always have a very special place in my heart." Her latest remarks, however, suggest a more complicated view of their history. Their public exchanges have ranged from playful to petty, including disputes over TV ratings and Instagram posts. Earlier this year, 50 Cent shared a clip from their 2003 BET Awards moment. "I look back at some of the s### that I did,' he wrote. "I gotta learn to shut the f### up. Look at that look at end that's trouble. WTF." .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/50-cent-fires-back-vivica-a-fox-warns-women/

Michael Jackson Biopic Trailer Surpasses Every Music Film In History

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 11 Nov 2025 04:01 GMT

The first glimpse of Michael, the upcoming Michael Jackson biopic, has already rewritten the record books. The trailer, which debuted last week, pulled in more than 116.2 million views worldwide in its first 24 hours, according to data from WaveMetrix. That figure not only makes it the most-watched music biopic trailer ever but also the most-viewed trailer in Lionsgate history. The film stars Jaafar Jackson, the late pop icon's nephew, in the lead role. Colman Domingo, fresh off an Oscar nomination, portrays the Jackson family patriarch, Joe Jackson. Set to premiere on April 24, 2025, Michael aims to chronicle the highs and lows of the King of Pop's life and career. The cast also includes Miles Teller as attorney John Branca, Kat Graham as Diana Ross, Nia Long as Katherine Jackson, Laura Harrier as Suzanne de Passe, Kendrick Sampson as Quincy Jones and Juliano Krue Valdi playing a young Michael. Speculation about the film being split into two parts resurfaced this week, though no official confirmation has been made. During a quarterly earnings call, Lionsgate Motion Picture Group chair Adam Fogelson addressed the chatter. "While we're not yet ready to confirm plans for a second film, I can tell you that the creative team is hard at work making sure that we're in a position to deliver more Michael soon after we release the first film," Fogelson said. The record-breaking trailer was released on November 8.

Tim Westwood Gets Bail On Serious Criminal Charges

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 11 Nov 2025 03:01 GMT

Tim Westwood walked out of Westminster Magistrates' Court a free man on Monday after securing bail on serious criminal charges that could derail the veteran DJ's legacy forever. The 68-year-old Hip-Hop pioneer faced his first court hearing since prosecutors hit him with a devastating 15-count indictment last month. The charges paint a disturbing picture spanning over three decades of alleged misconduct. Authorities accuse the former BBC Radio 1 host of four rape counts, nine indecent assault charges, and two sexual assault allegations. The timeline stretches from 1983 to 2016, with victims reportedly as young as 17 years old when the alleged incidents occurred. Watch Video on YouTube Magistrates released him on conditional bail with one strict requirement: zero contact with prosecution witnesses. Particularly damaging are three indecent assault charges allegedly happening inside BBC studios during the 1990s - right when Westwood was building his reputation as Britain's Hip-Hop ambassador. Seven women have come forward with allegations against the longtime radio personality. The charges detail a pattern of alleged abuse across London locations, including Fulham, Vauxhall, central London, Stroud, and Finchley. Westwood's legal troubles represent a dramatic fall for someone who championed Hip-Hop culture in the UK since the early 1990s. He joined Radio 1 in 1994, hosting his influential rap show until departing in 2013. Capital Xtra then became his broadcasting home until 2022. The case now moves to Southwark Crown Court for a hearing on December 8, where Westwood is expected to enter formal pleas to all charges. He has consistently denied any wrongdoing since the allegations first surfaced. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/tim-westwood-gets-bail-on-serious-criminal-charges/

EXCLUSIVE: Big U Fights To Get Out Of Jail To Attend Son's Funeral

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 11 Nov 2025 02:00 GMT

Big U is seeking a temporary release from federal custody to attend the funeral of his son Jabari "Baby Uiie" Henley, who was fatally shot in South Los Angeles on Halloween night. Prosecutors must respond to the motion by November 14 if they have any objections to Big U attending the services, while a judge will make the final decision on November 17, 2025. His 34-year-old son Jabari was gunned down around 11 P.M. on October 31 at the corner of 69th and Figueroa streets, just outside a smoke shop. According to police, Jabari approached a vehicle when someone inside opened fire. He died at the scene. Authorities have not identified a suspect and no arrests have been made. The Los Angeles County medical examiner ruled the death a homicide. Investigators have not confirmed whether the killing was gang-related. Jabari was the older brother of Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Daiyan Henley. "2025 has brought me more pain than joy and this one has been by far the biggest hit... my family gone stand through the storm because thats who we are I'm gone make sure we straight big bro!!!," Daiyan Henley said. "I got nephew don't even worry bout it Love you ALLAH BLESSED me with one more night with my big brother didn't know you'd be gone the next day." View this post on Instagram Big U is currently jailed on a sweeping federal indictment that accuses him of running a criminal organization dubbed the "Big U Enterprise." The 43-count case includes charges of racketeering, murder, extortion, fraud and obstruction of justice. Big U, who once ran a nonprofit called Developing Options aimed at steering youth away from gangs, is accused of misusing the organization's funds for personal gain. Federal prosecutors allege he and his associates used their influence in the music and entertainment industry to extort artists, athletes and celebrities who did business in Los Angeles. The indictment also claims Big U killed aspiring rapper Rayshawn Williams in 20201, after Williams released a song that criticized him. Authorities say the group submitted fraudulent applications for government grants and pandemic relief loans, including false claims about the profitability of Big U's music company. The case is part of a broader federal campaign to dismantle organized crime networks in Los Angeles. Big U has remained in custody since his arrest in March 2025. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/exclusive-big-u-fights-to-get-out-of-jail-to-attend-sons-funeral/

Cancer Survivor Accuses B.o.B. Of Sexual Assault In San Diego Hotel Suite

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 11 Nov 2025 01:03 GMT

Bobby Ray Simmons Jr., aka B.o.B., finds himself at the center of serious legal allegations after a Texas woman filed a lawsuit claiming the rapper sexually assaulted her following his April 2025 performance in San Diego. The plaintiff, identified only as "Jane" in court documents due to her status as an alleged sexual assault victim, attended the Hip-Hop artist's show at the California Beer Festival held at Del Mar Fairgrounds on April 26, 2025. The married mother of two had traveled from Texas specifically to see the performer whose music she credits with helping her survive a cancer diagnosis. According to legal filings obtained by CBS 8, the woman developed an emotional connection to the rapper's lyrics during her 2016 cancer treatment. After being declared cancer-free, she planned a trip to visit her cousin in San Diego, timing it to coincide with the artist's concert appearance. The performance featured songs from the rapper's acclaimed 2010 release The Adventures of Bobby Ray, tracks that held special significance for the plaintiff during her medical struggles. During the show, the artist unexpectedly brought her onstage to participate in a dance segment. Following the performance, the lawsuit states that the rapper's manager approached the woman with an invitation to an after-party at the performer's downtown hotel suite. Watch Video on YouTube Court documents reveal her thoughts at the time: "[Jane] viewed the unexpected invitation as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hang out with one of the biggest stars in Hip-Hop, whose music played a major role in keeping her emotionally healthy to continue her arduous struggle against cancer." The woman and her cousin arrived at the Westin Hotel in the Gaslamp District around 3 A.M., where they were escorted to the penthouse suite by the rapper's manager. The lawsuit alleges that problems began when her cousin left the room to retrieve a jacket from their vehicle. According to the complaint, once alone with the plaintiff, the performer began inappropriate physical contact. The legal filing describes the alleged assault: "[Jane] was shocked as she didn't think this could happen and didn't know what to do. This was coming from the man whose music helped her through her most desperate time; the Hip-Hop artist whom she traveled from Texas to see; and now she is being sexually assaulted by the very same man." The lawsuit claims the rapper's wife entered the room during the incident, prompting him to order her to leave. Court documents state: "Mr. Simmons got up and walked to the doorway to ensure his wife had left the room and would no longer bother him or interrupt what he was planning to do. He quickly returned to his kneeling position before a seated [Jane], where he resumed rubbing her inner thighs and waist with the intent to sexually assault her." The alleged assault continued until the performer's manager knocked on the door, providing the woman an opportunity to escape. She found her cousin in the hotel lobby, who informed her that security would not permit her return to the penthouse. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/cancer-survivor-accuses-b-o-b-of-sexual-assault-in-san-diego-hotel-suite/

50 Cent Admits He Missed Signing Young Chris Brown Due To Inexperience Marketing Kids

Posted by itstheboombap — Tue, 11 Nov 2025 00:00 GMT

50 Cent admitted he missed a major opportunity when a young Chris Brown auditioned for a G-Unit campaign, revealing he didn't know how to market a teenage talent at the time. On Monday morning (November 10), the rapper-turned-mogul shared a throwback clip from the "R&B Money" podcast, where Brown recounted his early brush with 50 Cent during what would become a pivotal moment in his career. "It was for a G-Unit campaign," Brown said, recalling a major booking that gave him his first real shot. "So I was like you know what, '50 Cent he gone be able to see us. He's going to be at the shoot, we can give him our demo, we can sing.' You know, the typical like I want to get signed s###." That led to a backstage hangout with 50 Cent during the shoot, where the then-teenage performer tried to make an impression. "We were bad little kids," Brown said. "We already had weed and s###, so we was trying to smoke our weed on the side. They like, 'Man what y'all doing?' So we like 'Nah, we rap and we sing. So we started performing and then they was like, 'You know what man y'all n##### is dope.'" Despite being impressed, one person on 50's team made it clear they weren't ready to handle young talent. "But we don't know how to f###### market no damn kids, we some gangsters," Brown recalled being told. "So I was like, 'Damn.' Like I understood it." Reflecting on that moment, 50 Cent posted the clip to Instagram with a caption that hinted at a tinge of regret: "I knew CB had it back then, I just didn't know how to market kids," he explained. "I went to award shows to see him get busy now he is the best we got. Like it or not !"

Cardi B's Reportedly Building Girls School In Chicago-Here's The Truth

Posted by itstheboombap — Mon, 10 Nov 2025 23:35 GMT

Cardi B and Chicago? A wild rumor has slowly, but surely spread across social media claiming the Bronx superstar was dropping a whopping $175 million to open a school for girls in Chicago. $175 million! For a second there, folks had Cardi looking like Mother Teresa, but... ...Hold your horses. It didn't take long before reality came knocking - for me at least. While Cardi B is known for her generosity, from paying fans' rent to speaking up for working-class women, this struck me as odd. This particular "philanthropic" move just didn't feel right. Spoiler alert: the internet is at it again. The rumor appears to have been born on Instagram and Facebook, those usual suspects where "fake news" becomes gospel in minutes. Zuck and Meta need to put up those disinformation safeguards again. Screenshots of imaginary press releases and AI-generated posts looked official, but there is not a shred of proof. Not even Cardi herself has said a single word about this supposed school. The only "official, unofficial" evidence is digital trash people keep reposting. Not once did they ask any questions! Let's keep it real: even Cardi's millions can't just manifest $175 million out of thin air. That's billionaire-level money! I believe she is worth about $80 million...maybe $100 million. Cardi would need Oprah, Jay-Z and Jeff Bezos...oops, he does not do this sort of stuff. MacKenzie Scott, his ex-wife, does all that good stuff. By the way, Dr. Umar has been trying to build his own school for over a decade and still hasn't hit that mark. So here we are again - another case study in how fast social media can make nonsense sound like news. Too many people see a flashy headline, skip the fact-check and start reposting like they're CNN. SMH! This might actually light a fire under Cardi's backside. She's always been about uplifting women but let's hope it's in the Bronx, where it all began. Until then, let's stop making stuff up! Here is the trash! Don't share! View this post on Instagram 10 SEO Headlines:

EXCLUSIVE: Cassie Accused Of Ducking Male Prostitute Suing Over Wild Freak Offs With Diddy

Posted by itstheboombap — Mon, 10 Nov 2025 23:03 GMT

Cassie is being accused of avoiding a lawsuit from a man who claims she and Diddy hired him for sex parties during their relationship, according to a new court filing in Los Angeles. Clayton Howard alleges Cassie Ventura has gone to "great lengths" to stay hidden and dodge service of legal documents tied to his civil suit. Howard says he has spent months trying to locate her, but claims she's using her resources to remain out of reach. Howard, who also identifies as a victim in the federal criminal case against Diddy, says Cassie's legal team has blocked his efforts. He accuses her attorney, Douglas Wigdor, of refusing to accept service despite speaking publicly on her behalf. "Cassie Ventura has used substantial resources to conceal her whereabouts," the filing states, adding that Wigdor "is not authorized" to receive legal papers for this case. Howard says he hired a private investigator and multiple process servers who searched DMV records, property databases and visited several addresses in Connecticut. He also emailed Wigdor's office three times but received no cooperation. Now, Howard is asking the court to approve an alternative method of service. He argues that Cassie is playing a "cat-and-mouse game" to avoid being pulled into court proceedings. Watch Video on YouTube As part of his motion, Howard submitted a list of media appearances and public statements made by Wigdor and his co-counsel Meredith Firetog since June 2025. The exhibits show that the attorneys gave at least seven public statements or interviews on Cassie's behalf, including to outlets such as ABC News, NBC, and E! News, following Diddy's July 2 conviction and October 3 sentencing. Howard argues that Wigdor's continued media involvement proves he is Cassie's representative and should be authorized to accept service. The lawsuit, filed June 29, 2025, names both Diddy and Cassie and accuses them of orchestrating sex parties involving male prostitutes and other participants. Howard claims he was coerced into these encounters and subjected to degrading acts, including being filmed while masturbating for hours at Cassie's direction. He also alleges that Cassie knowingly gave him a sexually transmitted disease and became pregnant by him before having an abortion without his knowledge. Howard says Diddy was often present but acted more as an overseer than a direct participant. He describes Diddy as "jealous" and "controlling," but says the music mogul typically stayed in the background during the encounters. Despite being subpoenaed, Howard was not called to testify during Diddy's criminal trial earlier this year. Diddy was convicted on two counts of transporting individuals for prostitution and sentenced to 50 months in federal prison on October 3. He is currently serving time at the Federal Correctional Institution in Fort Dix, New Jersey. Cassie previously settled a separate civil lawsuit against Diddy in 2023 for $20 million, as revealed during her testimony in May 2025. Cassie also received a $10 million settlement from the InterContinental Hotel related to their cover-up of the infamous incident at the resort, where Diddy was caught on camera beating her up. Howard explained how he was victimized during an interview with The Art of Dialogue. "I was there for days. They would lie to me and tell me I was coming for 24 hours and they would basically keep me by keeping my phone in my clothes for days, not allowing me to leave. And then finding out that she slept with all of these men after having contracted chlamydia all of those years ago, I totally feel like I'm a victim. "Because I would have never had unprotected sex with this girl if I realized that she was sleeping with half of the Lakers unprotected. I wouldn't have did that. I'm not that type of guy. I had a girlfriend who will definitely testify to the fact that she never contracted an STD from me. I was always clean," Howard said. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/cassie-ducking-male-suing-wild-freak-offs-diddy/

NBA Herm Reveals He'd Tie NBA YoungBoy's Shoes Out Of Gratitude

Posted by itstheboombap — Mon, 10 Nov 2025 22:03 GMT

Herm Tha Blacksheep declared unwavering loyalty to NBA YoungBoy, in a display of public loyalty to the rap star who changed his life. The rapper, also known as Herm Tha Blacksheep, opened up about his willingness to handle personal tasks for NBA YoungBoy. His comments revealed the depth of gratitude he feels toward the chart-topping artist. "You can't be too hard to hold the door open. You can't be too hard to close the door. I don't give a f### if his shoes come untied, bro. I'mma tie that b####. You know what I'm saying? I'mma do whatever I gotta do to make this s### be how the f### it's supposed to be," Herm The Blacksheep told the Mogul State Of Mind podcast. This display of allegiance highlights the tight-knit nature of the Never Broke Again collective. The Louisiana-based label, founded by YoungBoy Never Broke Again, has cultivated a family-like atmosphere among its roster of artists. Watch Video on YouTube "He's a millionaire. F###, he ain't got to be opening doors. If it start raining, I got an umbrella, s###, I'mma hold that b####. You gotta protect the brand," NBA Herm said. The Never Broke Again signee's comments come during a period of continued success for the label. YoungBoy has maintained his position as one of the most-streamed artists in the country, with his business acumen extending to developing talent like Herm. The Baton Rouge rapper's first major tour in five years generated over $70 million in revenue from more than 500,000 tickets sold across 40 consecutive sold-out shows, positioning the MASA tour among the top 10 highest-grossing rap tours in U.S. history. His Dallas opener at American Airlines Center on September 1 marked his most-attended concert ever with 14,846 tickets sold, while his Barclays Center performance in New York City became his highest-grossing show at $1.9 million. NBA Herm's willingness to perform humble tasks reflects the respect he holds for YoungBoy's role in transforming his circumstances. Over on X, Herm's comments were met with a variety of responses. Some commended him for his loyalty to NBA Youngboy, while others felt like he was kissing up, just because the Baton Rouge rapper is worth a lot of money. "All that's cool but tying a n#### shoes shouldn't even cross your mind," one user said, while another chimed in and added: "He's right, that's loyalty YB changed they lives forever." .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/nba-herm-revealed-hed-tie-nba-youngboys-shoes-out-of-gratitude/

EXCLUSIVE: Milagro Gramz Fights Back, Says Megan Thee Stallion Has To Show Proff Of Damages

Posted by itstheboombap — Mon, 10 Nov 2025 21:00 GMT

Milagro Gramz is pushing back against Megan Thee Stallion in their ongoing legal clash over defamation, telling a Miami federal judge that the rapper must prove both "actual malice" and quantifiable damage before any payout can be considered. In a court filing submitted November 10, 2025, Gramz - legally known as Milagro Elizabeth Cooper - argued that Megan's lawsuit doesn't meet the legal threshold required under the First Amendment. The response counters Megan's November 6 brief, which claimed she didn't need to show financial loss to pursue a defamation per se claim. Gramz's attorney, Ronda Dixon, leaned on a landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling to argue that public figures like Megan must meet a higher bar. "A public figure may not recover for defamation unless she proves, by clear and convincing evidence, that the defendant published the challenged statement with knowledge that it was false or with reckless disregard for whether it was false or not," the filing stated. Watch Video on YouTube The defense also pointed to Florida law to argue that presumed damages don't apply to "media defendants" when public interest is involved. According to Dixon, the legal protection extends to bloggers and digital commentators. "Florida no longer recognizes presumed damages in defamation per se claims against media defendants, unless the plaintiff first proves actual malice," she wrote. Gramz's legal team is positioning her as a member of the press, arguing that her commentary about Megan's public behavior, particularly during the Tory Lanez trial, is part of protected speech. The defense claims Megan is trying to sidestep constitutional standards by labeling the statements as "defamation per se" to avoid proving harm. Milagro Gramz's team also asked the court to block any jury instructions that imply damages can be assumed. Instead, they argue Megan must show concrete evidence that her reputation suffered as a result of the statements. The legal fight began in 2024 when Megan sued Gramz, accusing her of spreading false information about her character and the events surrounding the Tory Lanez shooting case. Megan alleges that Gramz used her platform to circulate lies, while Gramz insists she was commenting on a high-profile trial involving a major Hip-Hop figure. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/exclusive-milagro-gramz-fights-back-says-megan-thee-stallion-has-to-show-proff-of-damages/

EXCLUSIVE: Katt Williams Beats $20M Case Over Wild Club Brawl With Women

Posted by itstheboombap — Mon, 10 Nov 2025 20:03 GMT

Katt Williams scored a major courtroom victory after a federal judge dismissed a long-running $20 million civil lawsuit accusing him of attacking four women outside an Atlanta nightclub nearly a decade ago. The decision closes a legal battle that began when the women accused the comedian of a violent confrontation outside the Midtown nightclub. According to court records, the women, Selena Boston, Jalisa Rhodes, Lutisha Martinez, and Lanette Washington, sued Williams for assault, battery, false imprisonment, slander, and emotional distress stemming from a February 28, 2016, altercation outside Lounge 360 in Midtown Atlanta. They claimed Williams became aggressive after posing for photos, tackling Boston, punching and kicking her while his associates assaulted the others, throwing their belongings into the street, and pointing a gun while flashing gang signs. Last week, Judge William M. Ray II granted summary judgment in Williams' favor, finding that the women failed to serve him before Georgia's statute of limitations expired. The ruling ends the lawsuit before it could reach trial. The case was dismissed after they failed to properly serve Williams but was refiled in February 2023. The judge noted that the women only made one attempt to serve Williams, during a performance in Greenville, South Carolina and then waited months before requesting U.S. Marshals to intervene. Even after the court granted that request, the plaintiffs didn't send the Marshals until two days before the filing deadline expired. Williams wasn't actually served until December 29, 2023, 22 days too late. The court rejected their argument that Williams' celebrity status and security detail made him difficult to reach. While this week's ruling clears Williams of civil liability, he already faced criminal consequences for the same incident. Watch Video on YouTube According to WSB-TV, Williams accepted a plea agreement in 2018 that spared him from prison time. The deal required him to undergo mental health evaluations and participate in a pretrial intervention program instead of serving a sentence. The women later told WSB-TV they felt ignored by the plea arrangement, saying they weren't properly informed of the deal before it was finalized. "We felt very ignored throughout this entire wait," said Selena Boston. Lutisha Martinez added, "We cannot ignore that this man has traumatized not only us, several other people." .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/exclusive-katt-williams-beats-20-million-case-over-wild-club-brawl-with-women/

50 Cent Exposes Airport Nightmare as Holiday Travelers Face Massive Delays

Posted by itstheboombap — Mon, 10 Nov 2025 19:03 GMT

50 Cent found himself caught in the middle of America's travel nightmare as the ongoing government shutdown continues to wreak havoc on airports nationwide. The Hip-Hop mogul took to Instagram to document his frustrating experience and issue a stark warning to fellow travelers. The "In Da Club" rapper was aboard his private aircraft when he learned that even luxury travel couldn't escape the chaos. View this post on Instagram In one Instagram video, Jackson stated, "They just said that they not even letting the jets go." The entrepreneur described the situation as a "bad travel day" while capturing the reality of grounded flights across the country. In another post, he wrote, "Man the airport is f##### up, forget about traveling right now! Unless you driving..." The footage showed masses of stranded passengers waiting in airport terminals as delays and cancellations mounted throughout the weekend. The travel disruption stems from the record-breaking government shutdown, now in its 40th day, which has left approximately 13,000 air traffic controllers working without pay. The Federal Aviation Administration announced flight capacity reductions of up to 10% at 40 of the nation's busiest airports, with cancellations potentially escalating to 20% if the shutdown continues. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warned that the situation could severely impact Thanksgiving travel plans. "Many of them are not going to be able to get on an airplane, because there are not going to be that many flights that fly if this thing doesn't open back up," Duffy cautioned during a CNN appearance. Man the airport is fvcked up, forget about traveling right now! Unless you driving all roads lead to Shreveport.

https://t.co/WtNREs32V0 pic.twitter.com/Wn5XZpraeT — 50cent (@50cent) November 10, 2025 The travel industry has already suffered massive financial losses, with the U.S. Travel Association reporting over $5.4 billion in damages as of November 8. The organization warned that continued shutdown effects during the holiday season would be "economically devastating to communities in every state." Air traffic controller absences have reached alarming levels, with FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford reporting that 20% to 40% of controllers are absent from work on any given day. This has resulted in additional flight delays at major hubs, including Atlanta, San Francisco, Houston, Phoenix, Washington, D.C., and Newark. Major airlines have implemented significant flight reductions in response to the crisis. American Airlines canceled approximately 220 flights daily, while United Airlines cut 168 flights and Southwest reduced nearly 100 flights. More than 1,000 flights within, into, or out of the United States were canceled by Saturday afternoon, according to FlightAware tracking data. The timing couldn't be worse for holiday travelers, as Thanksgiving traditionally represents the busiest travel period of the year. Airlines have begun offering fee waivers for passengers wanting to change their travel dates, while federal regulations entitle travelers to full refunds for canceled or significantly delayed flights. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/50-cent-exposes-airport-nightmare-as-holiday-travelers-face-massive-delays/

Donald Trump Booed Loudly During Historic NFL Appearance At Commanders Game

Posted by itstheboombap — Mon, 10 Nov 2025 18:00 GMT

Donald Trump drew loud boos and jeers Sunday night (November 9) at FedEx Field as he became the first sitting president in 47 years to attend a regular-season NFL game, only to be met with a wave of disapproval from the Washington Commanders crowd. The backlash erupted during the second quarter of the Commanders' matchup against the Detroit Lions when Trump's image flashed across the stadium's jumbo screen. Standing in a private suite alongside House Speaker Mike Johnson and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Trump was met with a chorus of boos that only grew louder when the stadium announcer formally introduced him at halftime. Even a military enlistment ceremony didn't soften the crowd's reaction. As Trump administered the oath to new service members, sections of the 67,000-person audience continued to voice their discontent. H########!!! Drop everything you're doing and watch this two-minute clip of Donald Trump being BOOED MERCILESSLY at the Commanders game. pic.twitter.com/sppIpCOriN — Ron Smith (@Ronxyz00) November 9, 2025 Trump's appearance marked a rare moment in presidential sports history. The last time a sitting president attended a regular-season NFL game was Jimmy Carter in 1978. Before that, it was Richard Nixon in 1969. During the third quarter, Trump joined Fox Sports broadcasters Kenny Albert and Jonathan Vilma for an eight-minute segment. He reminisced about his high school football days at New York Military Academy. "I played tight end, but it was not quite football like this. It was a little bit easier. It wasn't so tough," he said. Trump's relationship with the NFL has been tense since his first term, when he repeatedly criticized players kneeling during the national anthem to protest racial and social injustice. The movement, started by former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick in 2016, drew sharp rebukes from Trump, who called on team owners to fire those who protested. The timing of Trump's visit came as lawmakers in Washington scrambled to resolve a government shutdown. The Senate later advanced legislation to end the shutdown. He left the game before the final whistle, with the Lions defeating the Commanders 44-22. Meanwhile, Trump has shown interest in having the Commanders' proposed $4 billion stadium project named after him. The new venue is expected to be built at the former RFK Stadium site in Washington, D.C. During the broadcast, Trump said, "They're going to build a beautiful stadium. That's what I'm involved in, we're getting all the approvals and everything else. And you have a wonderful owner, Josh (Harris) and his group. And you're going to see some very good things."

Zohran Mamdani Faces GOP Effort To Strip His Citizenship, Experts Explain

Posted by itstheboombap — Mon, 10 Nov 2025 17:30 GMT

Zohran Mamdani, New York City's first Muslim and youngest mayor-elect, is facing an unusual political attack from Republican lawmakers who claim his U.S. citizenship should be revoked. The radical move has no legal basis, according to experts. Following Mamdani's decisive election win, GOP figures including Rep. Andy Ogles of Tennessee and Rep. Randy Fine of Florida accused the Ugandan-born politician of lying during his naturalization process. They have called on the Justice Department to strip his citizenship, alleging ties to communism and "terrorist" activities. So far, they have produced no evidence to support those claims. A lot of people confuse socialism with communism or simply want to brand the young politician with a negative buzzword. READ ALSO: Zohran Mamdani Makes History As NYC's First Muslim & Youngest Mayor ... "Denaturalization is an extreme, rare remedy that requires the government to prove either illegal procurement or a willful, material lie - at a minimum, clear, unequivocal and convincing evidence that the fact would have changed the outcome at the time of naturalization," immigration lawyer Jeremy McKinney told PolitiFact. "I've seen no credible proof he was ineligible when he took the oath." Mamdani, who came to the U.S. as a child in 1998 and became a citizen in 2018, meets all legal requirements for citizenship. He has also faced a wave of Islamophobic rhetoric during and after his campaign. "Islamophobia is something that is endemic to politics across this country," Mamdani said during an interview with MSNBC. "We have seen it normalized and accepted." The GOP effort has also invoked the 14th Amendment, arguing that Mamdani provided "aid and comfort" to U.S. enemies through his criticism of immigration enforcement and past comments about Palestine. Constitutional scholars, however, dismiss this as political theater. The amendment's insurrection clause applies only to people who engaged in rebellion or gave aid to wartime enemies, not domestic policy critics or members of lawful political groups. READ ALSO: 50 Cent Says "RIP NYC" After Zohran Mamdani's Historic Mayoral Win... Even if the Justice Department were to pursue the case, citizenship can only be revoked through a federal court order. This is a process used sparingly in cases involving Nazi war criminals or convicted terrorists, not elected officials with protected political opinions. In short, Republicans can't unilaterally strip Mamdani's citizenship or block him from taking office. Without clear, court-tested evidence of fraud or criminal activity, legal experts say the push to deport him is destined to fail. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/opinion/zohran-mamdani-faces-gop-effort-to-strip-his-citizenship-experts-explain/

Antonio Brown's Attorney Claims Self-Defense In Miami Shooting After Dubai Extradition

Posted by itstheboombap — Mon, 10 Nov 2025 17:00 GMT

Antonio Brown landed back in Florida under serious legal scrutiny after being extradited from Dubai to face second-degree attempted murder charges tied to a May 2025 shooting outside a celebrity boxing match in Miami. The 37-year-old former NFL wide receiver is accused of opening fire and injuring at least one person during the incident, but his attorney, Mark Eiglarsh, insists Brown acted lawfully. "I took this case because I passionately believe in Brown's defense," Eiglarsh said in a statement shared by NBC Sports. "The actions he was forced to take were solely in self-defense against the alleged victim's violent behavior. Brown was attacked that night and acted within his legal right to protect himself from an individual who previously committed criminal acts against him. It's a privilege to represent him, and I am determined to ensure that justice is served." Brown's legal team is leaning on Florida's "stand your ground" law, which permits the use of deadly force if someone reasonably believes it's necessary to avoid death or serious injury. Prosecutors, however, are expected to challenge whether the threat had already ended when Brown allegedly pulled the trigger. The case took an international turn when U.S. Marshals located Brown in Dubai. He waived his right to fight extradition and was first returned to New Jersey before being transferred to Florida for legal proceedings. Watch Video on YouTube If convicted, Brown faces up to 15 years in prison and significant financial penalties. The charges mark one of the most serious accusations the former Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Pittsburgh Steelers player has encountered in a career often overshadowed by off-field incidents. Brown's NFL tenure spanned 12 seasons, including stints with the New England Patriots and the Oakland Raiders. Despite his on-field success, his personal life has frequently drawn headlines for legal disputes and erratic behavior. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/antonio-browns-attorney-self-defense-dubai-extradition/

Mr. Wave Says Harry Belafonte Saw "Beat Street" As Love Story Before Hip-Hop Film

Posted by itstheboombap — Mon, 10 Nov 2025 16:07 GMT

Mr. Wave: "I Became Mr. Wave in One Hour" Before the internet, before TikTok trends, a Bronx kid made his body move like electricity. Known to the world as Mr. Wave of the New York City Breakers and the film Beat Street, Tony Wesley helped turn Hip-Hop dance into a worldwide language. In this conversation with Chuck "Jigsaw" Creekmur and DJ Thoro, he retraces the moment Dr. Electric became Mr. Wave, the Bronx block-party days, and the red-curtain audition that changed his life. Chuck Creekmur: First off, thank you for what you gave this culture. When we saw you dance, we said, "How? We didn't think he had bones." How did you develop that style? Mr. Wave: To be honest, it started with admiration. We didn't have much-just a black-n-white TV. I'd watch Michael Jackson's cartoon and then see him on "Dancing Machine." That was magic. My first name in the early eighties was Dr. Electric, because I lived the Electric Boogaloo. I was also deep into mime, creating illusion. The float and the glide were really technology and illusion: lift one side, move the other. When I saw everyone doing the tick, I decided to smooth it out. I combined the tick, the boogie, the vibration, the mime...and that became the Wave. I gave my whole body to it. That's what made it different. Watch Video on YouTube DJ Thoro: So how did Dr. Electric turn into Mr. Wave? Mr. Wave: That's the wild part. One day I'm down on Delancey Street with my man Asa. We had just bought some sheepskins, got "Dr. Electric" ironed on my jacket. This kid rolls up on a motorcycle-Kidd Nice from the New York City Breakers-and says, "Yo, we're auditioning to dance for Katherine Dunham and the President at the Kennedy Center Honors (1983). Come through." I'd always been the rebel at home, so I went. The room was packed-Popmaster Fabel, Norm Ski, Mr. Wiggles-straight legends in training. Agents were watching from the side. I went into a corner and said, "I'm gonna combine everything I know." Michael Holman, who managed the Breakers, spotted me. He pulled me into the hallway with Chino, the founder, and said, "We want you in the group." I said, "Cool." We went back in; they announced it; everybody clapped. Then Chino said, "You're so smooth we're renaming you Mr. Wave." All that happened in one hour. That was it-Dr. Electric was gone, Mr. Wave was born. Chuck Creekmur: What was New York like at that time-those early years before everything exploded Mr. Wave: From '81 to '84 was the real evolution. It was block parties, jams in the projects. You'd watch them set up for hours-no fights, no craziness. When the DJ finally hit power, your chest jumped from the bass. The concrete vibrated for blocks. You didn't need a flyer; you could hear the party coming, like the ice-cream truck. READ ALSO: Nas Joins Mr. Wave's "Beat Street: Where Are They Now" Every jam had moments for the women too. You had to let them dance all night. That's what made the culture whole. Everybody had a lane: B-boys, B-girls, MCs, DJs. And there were so many crews. People only mention the big ones, but every block had a team. DJ Thoro: You always looked different from everyone else-never wore the one-piece suits. Why? Mr. Wave: Because of where I came from. I'm from the Nine, the Bronx. I couldn't go back to my block wearing tights! No disrespect to gymnasts, but I had to think about survival. Michael Holman understood that. He said, "We'll tailor you Adidas and Puma suits instead." They made them tight so I could move. That look became part of my style-and it made the wave flow better. Chuck Creekmur: Michael Holman gets a lot of credit for bridging worlds. What did he do for you all? Mr. Wave: Michael was a connector. He helped the Breakers, Rock Steady, Jazzy Jay-everybody. He saw what Hip-Hop could become. He even got us an attorney. In 1984, we were making $10,000 a show, splitting it between members. We'd split up-three of us hit one country, four hit another. We were one of the highest-paid dance groups in the world. Watch Video on YouTube Chuck Creekmur: So you're already hot-and then Beat Street happens. How did that come together? Mr. Wave: We had just performed for President Reagan at the Kennedy Center. On the plane back, Michael Holman says, "As soon as we land, we're going to the Roxy-Harry Belafonte wants you in Beat Street." We get there and walk past thousands of dancers waiting to audition. Behind a big red curtain were Belafonte, his daughters, and producer David Picker. Harry said, "I know you just got back, but could you dance for me?" We performed, and he said, "Congratulations, you are the Beat Street Breakers." No audition, no waiting line-just like that. DJ Thoro: Why were you called the Beat Street Breakers and not the New York City Breakers? Mr. Wave: Because Harry Belafonte saw the film as a love story first, Hip-Hop second. He loved the dance more than the names. He wanted it universal. He wasn't wrong-his vision globalized Hip-Hop. Beat Street showed every element: the B-boy, the DJ, the MC, the graffiti writer. It was culture and storytelling together. Chuck Creekmur: Looking back now, how do you feel about what that era created? Mr. Wave: It was magic. We didn't know we were making history; we were just kids trying to out-dance each other. But those jams, that energy, the way people came together-that's what built Hip-Hop. You can't erase that.

Gavin Newsom Slams Senate Democrats Over Shutdown Deal & Healthcare Concessions

Posted by itstheboombap — Mon, 10 Nov 2025 16:00 GMT

Gavin Newsom erupted over healthcare and party loyalty after eight Senate Democrats crossed the aisle Sunday night to help Republicans end the longest government shutdown in U.S. history without securing a firm commitment on Affordable Care Act subsidies. The California governor voiced his thoughts after the Senate passed the temporary funding bill in a 60-40 vote, calling the move a betrayal of working families who rely on subsidized healthcare. The agreement funds federal agencies through January 30 but delays any decision on ACA tax credits until at least mid-December. "Pathetic," Newsom posted on X in a one-word takedown of the bipartisan deal. He followed up with: "America deserves better." America deserves better. https://t.co/wix7A1rD0Z — Gavin Newsom (@GavinNewsom) November 10, 2025 His office echoed the sentiment, writing: "Pathetic. This isn't a deal. It's a surrender. Don't bend the knee!" The eight Democrats who broke ranks included John Fetterman, Tim Kaine, Catherine Cortez Masto, Angus King, Jeanne Shaheen, Dick Durbin, Maggie Hassan and Jacky Rosen. Their support allowed the Senate to move forward without the healthcare guarantees that had kept Democrats united for more than 40 days. The deal includes a vague promise from Senate GOP leader John Thune to hold a vote on ACA subsidies in December. But House Speaker Mike Johnson dismissed any obligation to follow through. When asked if he'd guarantee a vote, Johnson replied, "Ah - no. I'm not promising anyone anything." Newsom reposted a clip of Johnson's remarks with the caption: "Just going to leave this one here." Just going to leave this one here. https://t.co/ybl6MtjCks — Gavin Newsom (@GavinNewsom) November 10, 2025 Senator Bernie Sanders dismissed the agreement, calling the GOP's assurance "a totally meaningless gesture" and warning, "it would be a horrific mistake to cave in to Trump right now." House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries made it clear that House Democrats would not support the Senate's version of the bill. The shutdown, which began October 1, stretched beyond 40 days, making it the longest in U.S. history. The Senate deal includes provisions to rehire federal workers and provide backpay, reversing Trump administration efforts to permanently eliminate thousands of jobs. The House must now vote on the Senate's proposal before President Trump can sign it into law. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/gavin-newsom-slams-senate-democrats-shutdown-deal-healthcare-concessions/

50 Cent Trolls Jim Jones After Max B's Prison Release: "Jimmy About To Drop A Dime"

Posted by itstheboombap — Mon, 10 Nov 2025 13:00 GMT

50 Cent didn't waste a second turning Max B's homecoming into a punchline aimed squarely at Jim Jones. After Max B expressed interest in teaming up with the G-Unit mogul, 50 reposted the clip and added his signature brand of trolling-this time with a meme suggesting Jones might start snitching. The moment unfolded after DJ Whoo Kid shared a video of a FaceTime call with Max B, who was released from prison on Sunday, November 9. During the chat, Max referred to 50 by his old nickname and made it clear he's ready to work. "Tell the big homie Boo Boo I said what up," Max B said. Whoo Kid replied, "He just dropped a new joint, so let's work. He's back in the studio." Max responded, "Say no more. Let's get it, I'm ready." View this post on Instagram A post shared by DJ Whoo Kid (@djwhookid) 50 Cent reposted the clip on his Instagram alongside a still from the 1998 film Belly, showing Tyrin Turner's character Rico eating a banana while talking about "dropping a dime." The caption read: "Jim Jones:" Then 50 added his own commentary: "[Ninja] said Max home it's packed in Harbor, jimmy about to drop a dime on these [ninjas] LOL." The jab wasn't random. Max B and Jim Jones have a long and bitter history, once allies turned rivals in one of New York Hip-Hop's most notorious fallouts. Their beef began over business disagreements and spiraled into years of public shots and personal digs. Jim Jones & Max B Address Squashing Feud Jones recently addressed their fractured relationship during an episode of the Let's Rap About It podcast with Maino, Dave East and Fabolous.

JAY-Z & Beyonc Slip Into Kris Jenner's Star-Studded Birthday Party Undetected

Posted by itstheboombap — Mon, 10 Nov 2025 11:00 GMT

JAY-Z and Beyonc pulled off a near-impossible feat in Beverly Hills by slipping into Kris Jenner's 70th birthday party without a single paparazzi shot to prove it. The Hip-Hop power couple arrived at the James Bond-themed celebration hosted at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's massive estate Saturday night (November 10), according to TMZ. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kris Jenner (@krisjenner) Despite being two of the most recognizable names in entertainment, the duo managed to enter the high-profile event completely undetected. Insiders told the outlet the couple used a private entrance and secured parking setup, allowing them to bypass the crowd of photographers stationed outside the mansion. Not a single image of the Carters surfaced from the bash, a rare outcome considering their usual magnetism for cameras. While JAY-Z and Beyonc avoided the spotlight, Bey's mother, Tina Knowles, made her presence known, donning a bold red outfit that confirmed the Knowles family's attendance. The guest list was stacked with A-listers, including Oprah Winfrey, Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, Hailey Bieber, Mariah Carey and Snoop Dogg.

The 007-themed affair was a fitting backdrop for Beyonc and JAY-Z's covert arrival, reinforcing their reputation for controlling their narrative and public appearances with precision. Despite their usual status as the main attraction, the couple managed to stay completely off-camera, leaving photographers empty-handed. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/jay-z-beyonce-slip-into-kris-jenners-star-studded-birthday-party-undetected/

Max B Cracks Jokes With Method Man At Jets Game Hours After Prison Release

Posted by itstheboombap — Mon, 10 Nov 2025 09:00 GMT

Max B stepped back into the spotlight Sunday (November 9) at MetLife Stadium just hours after walking out of prison following a 16-year stint, jokingly asking Method Man for a job while catching the New York Jets face off against the Cleveland Browns. The Harlem rapper, newly freed after more than a decade behind bars, was greeted by Method Man, who was serving as the Jets' honorary photographer for the day. As he snapped a picture, Meth shouted "The Wave!" before walking over and giving Max a warm embrace. "Good to see you, brother," Method Man said. Max didn't miss a beat, looking at the Wu-Tang legend and blurting out, "Get me a job." Method Man laughed and pointed over to French Montana, saying, "Oh, you with the job." Watch Video on YouTube The lighthearted moment marked Max B's first public appearance since being released from Northern State Prison earlier than expected on November 9-coincidentally, French Montana's birthday. He had been serving a reduced sentence after his original 75-year term was cut to 20 years with credit for time served. Max also shared a quick sideline moment with Shedeur Sanders, who came over to greet him before heading onto the field. Max B Shares His Fashion Tips Later, Max linked up with Instagram's The People Gallery for a quick fit check. "I feel righteous," he said. "I'm feeling good, I'm grateful, I'm thankful. God is good." Draped in Louis Vuitton "down to the fanny pack," Max offered some simple fashion advice: "Listen, man, just be yourself. Get what you can afford... And wear what you wear. If it looks good on you, own it." But Max isn't just looking for sideline gigs-he's ready to hit the booth again. When asked who he's hoping to collaborate with, he kept it open but bold. "Listen, anybody that can keep up with the boss don, anybody that's an A-lister, anybody that got a sack, look me up," he said. "I'm a get you right, I'm a get you wavy."

MLB Pitchers Betray Fans With Rigged Betting Scheme

Posted by itstheboombap — Mon, 10 Nov 2025 06:01 GMT

Emmanuel Clase finds himself at the center of a federal investigation that has sent shockwaves through Major League Baseball. The Cleveland Guardians closer, along with teammate Luis Ortiz, was indicted by federal prosecutors in Brooklyn on charges of accepting bribes to manipulate pitches during games. The Feds say that both pitchers were part of an elaborate, underhanded scheme that started in May 2023. They took payments from gamblers to throw specific types of pitches at predetermined moments. According to court documents, the conspiracy enabled bettors to place wagers with advance knowledge of which pitches would be thrown, thereby giving them an unfair advantage in prop betting markets. Federal authorities arrested Ortiz in Boston on Sunday morning, while Clase remains out of custody despite being named in the same indictment.

BREAKING: The Trump DOJ has indicted Cleveland Guardians pitchers Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz for their involvement in a rigged betting scheme in which they "agreed in advance with co-conspirators on specific pitches they would throw" in games. pic.twitter.com/x2vpu8TJPg — johnny maga (@_johnnymaga) November 9, 2025 Both players face potential sentences of up to 65 years in prison if convicted on all charges, including conspiracy to commit wire fraud and accepting bribes in connection with sporting events. The MLB scandal represents just one piece of a broader crisis engulfing professional sports betting. In October, the NBA was rocked by its own gambling controversy when Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier and Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups were arrested by federal agents. Rozier stands accused of conspiring with associates to manipulate his statistical performance in games, allowing gamblers to win bets based on his rebounds, assists and other metrics. The indictment alleges that in three separate games, Rozier intentionally removed himself from contests or altered his play to benefit the betting scheme. Billups faces charges related to his involvement in illegal poker operations with alleged ties to organized crime families. The former NBA Finals MVP was arrested at his Portland residence and has been placed on indefinite leave by the Trail Blazers organization. Former NBA player Damon Jones was also arrested in connection with the basketball gambling ring, which federal prosecutors describe as having connections to traditional organized crime syndicates operating in multiple states. The timing of these scandals has created a perfect storm for professional sports leagues, which have embraced legalized sports betting as a revenue source in recent years. MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred addressed the crisis during a recent press conference, acknowledging the challenges facing the sport. Watch Video on YouTube "We didn't ask to have legalized sports betting," Manfred told reporters. "It kind of came, and that's the environment in which we operate." Both the NBA and MLB have implemented strict policies prohibiting players, coaches and team personnel from betting on games involving their respective sports. The leagues also maintain extensive monitoring systems designed to detect unusual betting patterns that might indicate manipulation. The Cleveland Guardians organization released a statement expressing disappointment over the allegations against their players while promising to cooperate with federal investigators. The team has placed both Clase and Ortiz on administrative leave pending the outcome of legal proceedings. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/mlb-pitchers-betray-fans-with-rigged-betting-scheme/

Posted by itstheboombap — Mon, 10 Nov 2025 02:00 GMT

Deidra Roper etched her name in music history Saturday night (November 8) as Salt-N-Pepa became the first female rap group inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, simultaneously making DJ Spinderella the institution's first female DJ honoree. The Los Angeles ceremony, held at the Peacock Theater, marked a monumental achievement for the Queens-bred trio, who revolutionized Hip-Hop during the late 1980s and 1990s. Roper, who joined the group at just 16 years old, reflected on her four-decade career during the induction speech. "I've been DJing for 40 years, and I'm the first female DJ in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame," Spinderella declared from the podium, acknowledging the historic significance of her recognition. View this post on Instagram The induction ceremony celebrated Salt-N-Pepa's groundbreaking contributions to music, including their platinum-selling albums and Grammy Award-winning track "None of Your Business." The group, consisting of Cheryl James (Salt) and Sandra Denton (Pepa) alongside Spinderella, broke numerous barriers throughout their career. Salt-N-Pepa's influence extended beyond music charts, as they became cultural ambassadors who challenged gender norms in Hip-Hop. Their hits like "Push It," "Shoop" and "Whatta Man" dominated radio waves while addressing topics ranging from safe sex to female empowerment. The trio's journey began in the mid-1980s when James and Denton met while working at Sears. Their collaboration with producer Hurby Azor led to their breakthrough, and Roper's addition as DJ Spinderella completed the legendary lineup that would reshape Hip-Hop's landscape.

Maseo Calls De La Soul's First Album in Nine Years "The Epitome Of Joy & Pain"

Posted by itstheboombap — Mon, 10 Nov 2025 01:01 GMT

De La Soul revealed their forthcoming album, Cabin in the Sky, will arrive November 21 through Mass Appeal Records, representing their first full-length project since 2016's ...And the Anonymous Nobody. The announcement carries profound emotional weight as this marks the group's inaugural release following the devastating loss of founding member Trugoy (Dave Jude Jolicoeur), who passed away in February 2023. The surviving duo of Posdnuos (Kelvin Mercer) and Maseo (Vincent Mason) channeled their grief and celebration into what promises to be their most meaningful work yet. Accompanying the album announcement, the Native Tongues pioneers dropped their lead single, "The Package," a soulful offering produced by legendary beatsmith Pete Rock. The track serves as both a sonic preview and emotional statement, showcasing how the remaining members have evolved their signature sound while honoring their departed brother's legacy. Watch Video on YouTube Cabin in the Sky represents more than just new music for the pioneering collective, who helped define alternative Hip-Hop in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Cabin in the Sky stands as a testament to resilience, brotherhood, and the enduring power of creative expression in the face of unimaginable loss. The album's title itself suggests themes of spirituality and transcendence, potentially reflecting the group's journey through mourning toward healing. After establishing themselves as innovators with classics like 3 Feet High and Rising and De La Soul is Dead, this new chapter finds them navigating uncharted territory as a duo rather than their iconic trio formation. "I'm glad it came together in such a way where we dealt with our loss," Maseo told SPIN in a recent interview. "I'm glad Pos was able to pour all of that into the concept of this album and give all of us some closure while making sure Dave's presence will always be felt as we continue on to do this thing called De La Soul. "Regardless of what we decide to do, he's always right there. My overall opinion of the album is it's the epitome of joy and pain. Everybody on any level can identify with loss, especially when we get around to the song with Pos talking about his mother along with Killer Mike." .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/maseo-calls-de-la-souls-first-album-in-nine-years-the-epitome-of-joy-pain/

SIGNS: Government Shutdown Sparks Viral TikTok Theory About Secret Psyop

Posted by itstheboombap — Mon, 10 Nov 2025 00:30 GMT

Being laid off during this crisis isn't easy, and the government hasn't really backed up all those employees who lost their jobs. I'm pretty sure some of y'all in Houston have noticed what's happening at the airport...whole sections are empty! The TSA workers didn't show up and now flights are being delayed or canceled. The government pays these people weekly, so it's strange to see so many of them gone. It makes me wonder if any of this makes sense. But wait...people are still paying taxes, SNAP benefits are being cut...and yet things keep getting worse. We need to come together, because at this point, none of the divisions really matter. What do you all think about this? There's a viral video circulating across platforms like TikTok claiming the government might never open back up. The idea is that officials are testing how people will react to the absence of government - basically, seeing if we'll accept living without it. It's an interesting thought, because you wouldn't expect that from a democratic society, but maybe that's exactly what we've become. It's starting to feel less like a democracy and more like an oligarchy. There's also this long-standing idea that Donald Trump won't leave office after the next three years, that somehow, some way, he'll find a way to stay in power. People have floated a few theories: one is that he'll just refuse to go; another is that a new war could be "created," forcing him to remain in charge; and a third theory says the government will simply cease to function, leaving no system in place to remove him. All of these are crazy and remind me of movies I once loved. Anyway, the person in that TikTok video says this whole thing is a psyop - short for psychological operation. It's defined as "an activity or activities that use information and other psychological methods to influence the emotions, motives, reasoning, and behavior of a target audience." And honestly, given how things are going - not even one year in - it doesn't sound so crazy. It actually sounds spot on. Everything described in Project 2025 seems to be unfolding quickly. Why would we think it'd be any different now? They're even trying to block people from getting their SNAP benefits, appealing rulings just to stop folks from receiving basic food assistance they've relied on for years. I've never personally needed those benefits, but I also wouldn't support policies that deprive children or the elderly of food. What's frightening is that so many people are fine with it. The majority of those being denied help aren't Black, and they're not adults - they're children. So yeah, it's wild out here. I don't know if this is all connected, but I can't ignore how much of it lines up. Let me know what you think - I'm really interested to hear other perspectives on this. I would post the original vid, but I said it better here. Click here to tell me your thoughts on the whole thing? .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/rumors/signs-government-shutdown-sparks-viral-tiktok-theory-about-secret-psyop/

Trump Offers $2,000 Checks To Americans While Snubbing The Rich

Posted by itstheboombap — Mon, 10 Nov 2025 00:02 GMT

President Donald Trump proposed a bold economic move on Sunday by suggesting $2,000 cash payments to most Americans, funded through tariffs, while deliberately excluding high-income earners from the payout. The former president revealed the plan on his Truth Social platform, calling it a "dividend" funded by revenue from tariffs imposed on foreign imports. "A dividend of at least $2000 a person (not including high income people!) will be paid to everyone," he wrote. The announcement comes as Trump continues to push for expanded tariffs as part of his broader "America First" trade strategy. The payments, according to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, could be implemented through existing tax cut legislation rather than a new program. That route would enable the administration to bypass certain legislative hurdles and utilize existing legal frameworks to distribute the funds. The idea of turning trade penalties into direct cash for citizens isn't entirely new. Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley previously introduced legislation supporting similar tariff-funded dividends aimed at helping working-class Americans. Trump's proposal echoes that sentiment, positioning the tariffs as a tool to redistribute wealth from foreign trade to domestic households. But economists remain skeptical. Critics argue that tariffs often act as hidden taxes on consumers, rather than on foreign governments. While President Trump claims that other countries foot the bill, most economic experts agree that importers and, eventually, shoppers absorb the cost. Still, the idea has stirred interest across political and economic circles. Supporters praise the direct approach, while opponents question whether tariff revenue alone could sustain such a large-scale payout. To meet the $2,000-per-person threshold nationwide, the government would need to generate hundreds of billions in tariff income or find additional funding sources. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/trump-offers-2000-checks-to-americans-while-snubbing-the-rich/

EXCLUSIVE: Bad News For Lil Uzi - Rapper Sued For $110M For Stealing Big Hit "I Just Wanna Rock"

Posted by itstheboombap — Sun, 9 Nov 2025 23:02 GMT

Lil Uzi Vert is being accused of ripping off one of his biggest hits, "I Just Wanna Rock," in a new $110 million copyright lawsuit filed in federal court by a Rochester, New York artist who claims Uzi's 2022 anthem borrows nearly all of its DNA from his earlier track "Pain and Pleasure." Sharrief K. Bouchet, known professionally as Rawyal or Rief Rawyal, alleges that "I Just Wanna Rock" - released October 17, 2022 - "copied the original hook, melody, and theme" of his record, particularly the signature chant "When I rock ah ah." A forensic musicologist's report attached to the filing found a 93-97% derivation between the two songs. The analysis, conducted by Musicologize founder Brian McBrearty, cited shared tempo, structure, and rhythmic patterns - especially the identical "ah" vocal chants and the nearly indistinguishable lyrical phrasing around the word "rock." Watch Video on YouTube McBrearty's report noted that both tracks "reside in the core band of 'allegro,'between 130-150 beats per minute, and employ the same drum pattern and rhythmic syncopation, known as' tresillo,'a hallmark of reggaeton and dance beats." He added that both songs feature "first-person, present-tense declarations that end with the identical word 'rock,'forming a parallel lyrical structure." In "Pain and Pleasure," Rawyal sings, "Pain and pleasure when I rock, ah, ah," while Uzi's version chants, "I just wanna rock, ah, ah, ah, ah." McBrearty concluded these moments form "the hook, or the heart, of the respective works." Rief Rawyal says he released "Pain and Pleasure" on August 15, 2022, and later saw his version suppressed on Meta platforms after Uzi's record dropped that October. He claims that his uploads were repeatedly muted or removed from Instagram and Facebook as "Just Wanna Rock" gained popularity across TikTok, Fortnite, and in the trailer for the Blue Beetle movie. The lawsuit claims Uzi and Atlantic Records had direct access to Rief Rawyal's material. The rapper says he'd been in contact with Lanre Gaba, now president of Hip-Hop, R&B and Global Music at Atlantic Records, since 2012. Watch Video on YouTube He provided the label executive with original songs, including music files and demos, during that period. He argues that this established a "clear institutional pathway" for his unreleased material to circulate internally, potentially leading to Uzi or his producers obtaining and recreating elements of his beat and hook structure. The suit names Lil Uzi Vert, Atlantic Records, Generation Now, Roc Nation, and Warner Music Group as defendants. Rief Rawyal argues that the companies used his creation to secure lucrative licensing deals with TikTok, Meta, and artificial intelligence firms. He's demanding more than $110 million in damages, citing lost streaming revenue, sync and licensing deals, and reputational harm. The filing also seeks retroactive publishing credit, an ownership share and an injunction to stop further use of the song. Rief Rawyal, a former Jive Records artist and U.S. Marine veteran, says Pain and Pleasure was meant to mark his comeback after years away from music. He insists that Atlantic had access to his work and that its subsequent reappearance in a global hit robbed him of the recognition and commercial opportunities he was poised to regain. The lawsuit is the latest legal action the rapper is facing. He is currently being sued by a Jane Doe assistant who claims the rapper harassed her at work and created a toxic environment. He is also being sued for beating a man on a Manhattan street, smashing the guy's phone to pieces and then throwing hundred-dollar bills at him to humiliate him.

Kim Kardashian's Bar Exam Struggles Continue Despite Prison Reform Success

Posted by itstheboombap — Sun, 9 Nov 2025 22:02 GMT

Kim Kardashian revealed that she failed the bar exam, which kept her from obtaining her dream of becoming a lawyer. "Well...I'm not a lawyer yet, I just play a very well-dressed one on TV," she revealed on Instagram, referencing her new series "All's Fair." "Six years into this law journey, and I'm still all in until I pass the bar. No shortcuts, no giving up - just more studying and even more determination," Kim Kardashian said. Last week, she blamed artificial intelligence for throwing her off course in her latest attempt to pass the California bar exam, even as she continues to make waves in criminal justice reform. The reality star and entrepreneur revealed that ChatGPT provided her with misleading answers during study sessions, which contributed to her challenges on the legal exam. "I failed this exam 3 times in 2 years, but I got back up each time and studied harder and tried again until I did it!!!" she previously posted, reflecting on her struggle with the baby bar. Kardashian began her legal path in 2018 through California's apprenticeship program, bypassing law school in favor of hands-on mentorship. The First-Year Law Students' Examination, commonly referred to as the "baby bar," proved to be a significant hurdle. She failed it three times before finally passing in 2021. "Thank you to everyone who has supported and encouraged me along the way so far. Failing short isn't failure - it's fuel. I was so close to passing the exam and that only motivated me even more. Let's go!" she added. Despite the academic hurdles, Kardashian's work outside the classroom has drawn national attention. Kardashian first stepped into the criminal justice spotlight by advocating for Alice Marie Johnson, a woman serving a life sentence for a nonviolent drug offense. Johnson was released in 2018 after Kardashian personally lobbied the White House. Since then, the SKIMS founder has helped secure the release of more than 17 incarcerated individuals. Her efforts have expanded beyond individual cases, pushing for broader sentencing reform and rehabilitation programs. Her legal ambitions haven't come without criticism. Social media users have often mocked her repeated exam failures, but Kardashian has remained undeterred. She's spent seven years studying law, balancing her legal goals with her business empire and public image. Kardashian has even said she would leave reality TV behind to focus on becoming a full-time attorney. That commitment has earned her praise from both political figures and criminal justice advocates. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/kim-kardashians-bar-exam-struggles-continue-despite-prison-reform-success/

Max B's Freedom Sparks "Bot Beef With Jim Jones"

Posted by itstheboombap — Sun, 9 Nov 2025 21:30 GMT

Max B just walked free after serving a grueling 16 years behind bars, but instead of basking solely in celebration, his name is being pulled into old drama - likely by fake accounts. The Harlem rapper, who's long been respected for keeping quiet during his incarceration, stepped back into the world surrounded by love. French Montana, his closest ally, welcomed him home in full support. But in the midst of all the joy, whispers of renewed tension with Jim Jones have crept into the conversation. And it looks like someone's trying hard to create friction. READ ALSO: Max B Finally Freed From Prison After 16 Years Behind Bars Max and Jim's relationship soured years ago after once being tight in the Dipset-era Wave movement. That history has fueled fans' curiosity and speculation since Max's release. But a deeper look at the so-called "beef" tells another story. Many of the social media posts fueling talk of bad blood between the two rappers appear to come from suspicious accounts. The pages hyping up the feud are mostly blank profiles with no followers, no posts and all private. It's looking like clear and present "bot behavior." There's little to no credible evidence that Max or Jim have reignited any real conflict. Instead, what's surfacing feels like a coordinated online effort to manufacture friction at a time when Max should be soaking up his long-overdue freedom. Whether it's trolls fishing for clicks or something more strategic, the timing feels WAY off. After 16 years in a cell, Max deserves peace." The "Wavy Crockett" artist isn't letting any of it slow him down, either. Over the weekend, he hit the Jets game, smiling and free, enjoying what he earned.

Nicki Minaj Reignites Album Talk After Threatening Not To Release It

Nicki Minaj says her upcoming album is packed with hits, just weeks after she nearly pulled the plug on it amid a public feud involving JAY-Z and Roc Nation. The Queens rapper took to social media to share her excitement over the project's progress, revealing she's already 16 tracks deep and still adding more. "Just added 2. We are at 16. WTFFFFFF BARBZ. ITS HIT AFTER HIT. oh wow. Oh WoW!!!!!!!!!! BARBZ U RLLY DONT UNDERSTAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she wrote. Minaj also reflected on her creative process, admitting she had held back from releasing certain songs. "Tbh, it's almost like finally seeing what I've been depriving you guys of. I must admit that & it's not the best feeling," she said. "But here we are. Here we now are. Being given another chance. I don't take it for granted. I'm just happy I faced myself - & faced the music. To improve." Tbh, it's almost like finally seeing what I've been depriving you guys of. I must admit that & it's not the best feeling. But here we are. Here we now are. Being given another chance. I don't take it for granted. I'm just happy I faced myself - & faced the music. To improve

— Nicki Minaj (@NICKIMINAJ) November 8, 2025 This renewed energy comes after a turbulent few weeks. In April, Minaj stunned her followers by abruptly canceling her upcoming album, which had been set for release on March 27, 2026. In a now-deleted post, she tagged JAY-Z and accused Roc Nation of sabotaging her career, declaring "No more music." The controversy stems from an alleged financial dispute over TIDAL, the streaming platform once owned by JAY-Z. Minaj claims she is owed between $100 million and $200 million related to the company's sale. She also mocked JAY-Z's failed bid for a New York casino license, escalating the tension. Before the drama, Minaj had already scrapped a deluxe edition of her 2023 album Pink Friday 2, opting instead to start fresh. She said the new material was "too iconic" to be added as bonus tracks. Pink Friday 2 debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, moving over 228,000 units in its first week. It featured collaborations with heavyweights such as Drake, J. Cole, Lil Wayne, and Future. The album earned platinum certification in March 2024 and included the chart-topping single "Super Freaky Girl," which became her first solo No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album also made history as the first solo female rap album to win Album of the Year at the BET Hip Hop Awards. Her Pink Friday 2 World Tour became the highest-grossing tour by a female rapper and the fourth-highest in Hip-Hop history. "I decided to start listing my 'faves' so far. I kid you not, I'm now on the 14th track & still haven't played all my songs," she said of the albums stacked a lineup of hit songs. With nearly five months of studio time left, she appears more determined than ever to deliver her fans a great album. Barbz this is so emotional.

EXCLUSIVE: Dawn Richard Claims Diddy Issuing Threats From Behind Bars

Posted by itstheboombap — Sun, 9 Nov 2025 20:01 GMT

Dawn Richard says Diddy didn't stop intimidating her after their music ties ended or even after his arrest, alleging in a new court filing that threats and coercion have continued behind bars. In a 39-page response filed November 5 in Manhattan federal court, Richard's legal team argues her lawsuit should proceed because Diddy's alleged abuse and threats never ceased. The former Danity Kane and Dirty Money member accuses the Hip-Hop mogul of sex trafficking, forced labor and gender-based violence, claiming she delayed filing due to fear for her life. According to the filing, Richard says Diddy repeatedly warned her to stay silent after she witnessed him assault Cassie Ventura. "If you say anything there will be consequences," he allegedly told her. "People end up missing." She also claims he once shouted, "I make n****s go missing," "You b###### want to die today," and "I make things go away." Watch Video on YouTube Richard's attorneys say those threats weren't empty. The court document claims Diddy's control extended long past their professional split in 2012, describing years of alleged harassment, physical abuse and manipulation disguised as mentorship. The filing also references Diddy's federal criminal case, where prosecutors called him a "serial obstructor." Attorney Lisa Bloom, representing Richard, claims he tampered with a witness in her case last year from jail, which they say "validated Plaintiff's ongoing fear and demonstrated his continued efforts to intimidate her and manipulate the narrative" even after his 2024 arrest on sex trafficking and racketeering charges. "There is no indication that Combs' ability or willingness to act on his threats ever ceased," the filing states. Richard's lawsuit also outlines alleged abuse during her time on Making the Band and as part of Dirty Money. She claims Diddy deprived her of food and sleep, groped her and demanded sexual favors. When she pushed back, she says he retaliated by cutting her from tracks and withholding pay. She also accuses Diddy and his associate Harve Pierre of confining her inside a car and later a room after she confronted him about his behavior. In addition to the abuse allegations, Richard says Diddy used her vocals without permission on his 2023 release The Love Album: Off the Grid. The track "Deliver Me," recorded in 2009, was never licensed, she claims. Diddy has denied all allegations and is currently serving a four-year prison sentence at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey, where he was recently busted with "toilet liquor" in his cell. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/exclusive-dawn-richard-claims-diddy-issuing-threats-from-behind-bars/

Lil Uzi Vert Beats Harassment Suit By Former Assistant, Case Dismissed

Posted by itstheboombap — Sun, 9 Nov 2025 19:02 GMT

Lil Uzi Vert defeated a sexual assault lawsuit from his former assistant, who had filed a lawsuit accusing the Philadelphia rapper and Roc Nation of sexual harassment and workplace violations. The anonymous plaintiff, known only as Jane Doe, dropped the lawsuit with prejudice last week, meaning it cannot be refiled. Jane Doe claimed she worked for the artist behind the "XO Tour Llif3" from 2022 through 2025. According to the lawsuit, the woman alleges that her employment left her emotionally devastated and financially strained. Court filings reveal that the former assistant claims Woods sent her various inappropriate messages throughout her employment period. When she reportedly rejected these advances, the lawsuit alleges the Grammy-nominated artist became hostile and verbally abusive toward her. The woman claimed Uzi subjected her to "unwelcome sexual demands and advances," often through text messages and social media. According to court filings, the alleged messages included explicit directives such as "Come rub me down before you leave" and "Let me see that booty." The complaint stated that Woods' management team enabled his conduct, creating what she described as a "hostile and inappropriate" work environment. In one cited exchange, Woods allegedly told the plaintiff, "You are more than my assistant. You are my b####," which her legal team argues reflects his perception of her as property rather than a professional subordinate. The lawsuit contended that Lil Uzi's actions violated federal and state workplace harassment laws, asserting that his behavior caused severe emotional distress and irreparable harm to the plaintiff's career. The legal action targeted multiple defendants, including Lil Uzi Vert personally, his company UziVert LLC, and entertainment powerhouse Roc Nation. The plaintiff sought both compensatory and punitive damages, citing emotional distress and financial losses stemming from the alleged misconduct. Now word if Lil Uzi Vert had to cough up cash to settle, but regardless, the legal action against the rap star is over. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/lil-uzi-vert-beats-harassment-suit-by-former-assistant-case-dismissed/

JT Flees X After "Girls Gone Wild" Bombs After Cardi B Feud

Posted by itstheboombap — Sun, 9 Nov 2025 18:04 GMT

JT bailed on X after her solo single, "Girls Gone Wild," tanked hard and the internet clowned her, while Cardi B kept winning. The City Girls rapper dipped from the app after her latest comeback track pulled in a weak 139,000 Spotify streams in its first 24 hours. That number had social media dragging her, especially with Cardi's recent music wins still fresh. JT had been hyping up "Girls Gone Wild" like it was her big moment, marking her third solo shot in 2025. But the numbers told a different story. The track barely made a dent, especially by industry standards for someone with her name. This s### ass. Jt i think its time to go back to city girls. Yall music aint been hitting the same fr nomore https://t.co/y3ShgBHF0T — Jazz

(@reinajaz_) November 8, 2025 As jokes about the flop piled up online, JT quietly deactivated her account and disappeared from X. Meanwhile, Cardi B's album Am I the Drama? dropped in September and came out swinging. The project moved about 200K units in its first week-88K in pure sales and 110K from streaming, which hit 145 million. The album went platinum fast and doubled up not long after, locking in her spot at the top of the game. The timing couldn't be worse for JT, who had already been fanning flames with Cardi. Earlier in October, JT dropped a diss track called "No Hook" that took shots at Cardi's looks, background, hygiene and even her man, Stefon Diggs. She called Cardi a "fake Selena" and went in on her alleged surgeries and street cred. Cardi clapped back on Instagram Live, mocking the diss's performance, saying, "That s**t got 25K streams." JT also released another diss called "Keep Coming," but both tracks vanished from streaming platforms not long after they dropped. Cardi didn't stay quiet either. She threw her own jab on the Am I the Drama? track "Magnet," keeping the feud alive. The two have been going back and forth online and in music for months, with no signs of either one backing down. JT's latest move to deactivate her account looks like a retreat after a rough week of online smoke and disappointing stats. JT has the talent but the wrong team. Leaving the City Girls was the first step, getting out of that QC/Motown/Universal deal is the next. QC can't help any of it's artist and Motown isn't for HIPHOP artist. — Chubby Tyla (@gemdiagram) November 8, 2025 .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/jt-flees-x-after-girls-gone-wild-bombs-after-cardi-b-feud/

The King of Instrumental Pop" Dom Okon Becomes the Youngest American Instrumental Artist to Achieve

Posted by itstheboombap — Sun, 9 Nov 2025 17:23 GMT

Dom Okon continues to redefine the boundaries of instrumental music. At just 20 years old, the prodigious American artist has made history with his fourth studio album, Mystified, which soared to #34 on the UK iTunes Top 100 Pop Chart within days of its release on October 18th. This milestone marks a groundbreaking achievement: Okon is now the first-and youngest-American instrumental artist to have four consecutive albums chart on iTunes. Often referred to as "The King of Instrumental Pop," Okon has carved out a unique space in a genre that rarely sees mainstream recognition. His success is not confined to the United States; his music has resonated across continents, charting in South Africa and the United Kingdom as well. This global reach is virtually unheard of for instrumental pop, a style typically overshadowed by vocal-driven hits. With four charting albums under his belt, Dom Okon is not just making waves-he's setting a new standard for what instrumental music can achieve in the digital age. His accomplishments challenge the notion that instrumental artists must remain on the fringes of popular music. Instead, Okon proves that melody alone can move millions, and that instrumental pop has a powerful place in today's musical landscape. As he continues to push boundaries and inspire fans around the world, Dom Okon's legacy is already taking shape. Mystified is more than an album-it's a declaration of what's possible when talent, innovation, and emotion converge. And for instrumental music, it's a bold step into the spotlight. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/music-news/the-king-of-instrumental-pop-dom-okon-becomes-the-youngest-american-instrumental-artist-to-achieve-four-consecutive-itunes-top-100-albums/

Cardi B Admits "Drama" Has Left Her Emotionally Drained

Posted by itstheboombap — Sun, 9 Nov 2025 17:03 GMT

Cardi B confronted the chaos and controversy surrounding her name and latest album, Am I The Drama? in a no-holds-barred interview with Paper Magazine , revealing that the constant tension in her life has left her drained and disillusioned. The pop star, known for her chart-topping hits and headline-grabbing disputes, spoke candidly about the emotional toll of being entangled in ongoing public feuds. "I be every kind of tired and it exhausts me," she said, acknowledging that some of the backlash she receives is a direct result of her own actions. "There's drama that I expected to come. Because if I'm throwing shots at b######, I expect the drama to come from them." Watch Video on YouTube Cardi has had high-profile clashes with Nicki Minaj, Azealia Banks and her estranged husband Offset, many of which have played out on social media. But what truly wears her down, she said, is the unsolicited conflict. "However, when people just be trying you, and you're not even paying attention to them, you're not even talking to them about them, it's like, This is why I say that I am the drama," she explained. "I even bother b**ches when I don't even give them attention. It's still an issue. So that just means that is that. I am the drama." The Bronx rapper, who skyrocketed to fame with "Bodak Yellow," admitted that even when she tries to steer clear of confrontation, it finds her anyway. "No matter how much I avoid it it's gonna come to me. It's gonna come to me even with the stupidest stuff," she said. "Look how it always falls on my lap, honey. One way or another, it just don't f**king stop." Her most recent spat with Minaj on X (formerly Twitter) escalated quickly, with both artists trading personal digs and dragging their family lives into the fray. The online back-and-forth included accusations involving their children and references to past trauma, pushing their long-standing rivalry to another level. Cardi's remarks come as she promotes her upcoming album Am I The Drama?, a title that seems to reflect her current reality as much as it does her public persona. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/cardi-b-admitted-the-drama-has-left-her-emotionally-drained/

D4vd Investigation Narrows, Officials Rejected Additional Crime Claims

Posted by itstheboombap — Sun, 9 Nov 2025 16:03 GMT

Celeste Rivas Hernandez faces justice delayed as Los Angeles authorities maintain their position that body concealment represents the sole criminal act in her tragic death case. The Los Angeles Police Department reaffirmed its stance that investigators have uncovered no evidence supporting additional criminal charges beyond hiding the 14-year-old's remains. Department officials told KTLA their previous statement "stands on its own," emphasizing that "no crime other than concealment of a body may have occurred." This declaration arrives amid mounting criticism from advocates demanding a deeper investigation into the teenager's connection to D4vd. The singer's abandoned Tesla contained Hernandez's decomposed body when discovered at a towing facility earlier this year. Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office confirmed to KTLA that prosecutors have received no case materials for review or potential charges. However, law enforcement sources indicated the investigation technically remains active despite the absence of new evidence pointing to additional crimes. Watch Video on YouTube Private investigator Steve Fischer voiced frustration on social media platform X, writing: "Nowhere in the press release or in any official statements has there been mention of an investigation into the relationship David had with Celeste. Yes, that could be a difficult case to prove because Celeste is no longer here to testify, but that does not mean it should not be pursued." Fischer continued his criticism, stating, "Even if people close to Celeste are unwilling to cooperate because it would expose their knowledge of the illegal relationship, charges should still be filed. We must prove we will protect children from predators." LAPD confirmed to KTLA News on November 6, 2025, that their prior news release "stands on its own." That release stated that no crime other than concealment of a body may have occurred in the #CelesteRivasHernandez case involving #D4vd. The L.A. County District Attorney's Office... — SF INVESTIGATES . STEVE FISCHER (@SF_investigates) November 7, 2025 The case has attracted national attention due to the age gap between Hernandez and D4vd, with community advocates questioning why authorities haven't addressed the nature of their relationship. D4vd has not faced charges in connection with the teenager's death, and police have not designated him as a suspect. Medical examiner records show Hernandez's cause of death remains undetermined, with her body listed as "severely decomposed" when found. The case file continues to display a "deferred" status, indicating that officials are awaiting additional information before reaching a conclusion. Community pressure continues to build on newly elected District Attorney Nathan Hochman's office to pursue broader inquiries into the circumstances surrounding the teenager's death. Advocates argue that someone must face accountability for concealing her body, regardless of other potential charges. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/d4vd-investigation-narrows-officials-rejected-additional-crime-claims/

Max B Freed From Prison, Greeted By French Montana

Posted by itstheboombap — Sun, 9 Nov 2025 14:24 GMT

Max B stepped out of prison today (November 9) after serving more than 16 years for a deadly robbery, greeted by longtime friend and collaborator French Montana in a moment that marked the end of a lengthy legal battle and the start of a five-year probation term. The Harlem rapper was released following a sentence reduction that cut his original 75-year term down to 20 years with credit for time served. His release had been anticipated for months, with Max B himself confirming the expected date earlier this year. Max B was convicted in 2009 on nine counts, including murder, armed robbery, conspiracy and kidnapping. The charges stemmed from a 2006 incident that led to the death of David Taylor during a botched robbery in New Jersey. At the time, Max B was already in custody on unrelated charges but was accused of orchestrating the robbery from behind bars. Two co-defendants were also sentenced in the case. Kelvin Leerdam received life in prison plus 35 years. Gina Conway, who cooperated with prosecutors, received a lighter sentence. Watch Video on YouTube Years later, Max B's legal team successfully challenged the original verdict. In 2016, a New Jersey Superior Court judge vacated his conviction, citing a conflict of interest involving one of his former attorneys. That ruling opened the door for a plea deal. Max B pleaded guilty to one count of aggravated manslaughter and was resentenced to 20 years. The deal factored in the time already served, significantly shortening his remaining prison term. Legal documents and court filings also cited "ineffective assistance of counsel" as a reason for the reduced sentence. His earlier appeals had failed, but the plea agreement ultimately led to his release. His original 75-year sentence was handed down in 2009 after a jury found him guilty on most counts related to the 2006 robbery and murder. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/max-b-freed-from-prison-greeted-by-french-montana/

Salt 'N Pepa Seize Rock Hall Moment To Call Out UMG: "Fans Can't Even Stream Our Music"

Posted by itstheboombap — Sun, 9 Nov 2025 14:00 GMT

Cheryl "Salt" James turned a celebratory moment into a powerful statement against corporate control in the music business. The legendary Hip-Hop pioneer, alongside partner Sandra "Pepa" Denton, used their Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony on Saturday night (November 8) to directly challenge Universal Music Group over their ongoing legal battle for master recording ownership. The duo received the Musical Influence Award during the 2025 ceremony, marking a historic achievement as only the second female Hip-Hop act ever inducted into the prestigious institution. However, instead of focusing solely on their groundbreaking career achievements, Salt delivered a pointed message that resonated throughout the venue. "When we came out, the industry was different," Salt said. "We didn't have streaming. We didn't have social media. We had cassette tapes, turntables and dreams. But even back then, we had to fight to be heard to prove our worth. We're in a fight right now for our masters that rightfully belong to us. After 40 years, as we celebrate this moment, fans can't even stream our music. It's been taken down from all streaming platforms, because the industry still doesn't want to play fair. Salt 'N Pepa have never been afraid of a fight. "This is the Influencer award. We have to keep using our influence until the industry honors the creativity the way the audience does-with love, respect and fairness. And that includes streaming platforms, too. Hip-Hop gave us a voice and we'll keep using it." She continued, "Thank you to the fans, the DJs and the women who rhymed in their mirrors and the mighty good men who supported. I want to apologize to the countless fans who got in trouble for cutting their hair like us and singing our lyrics. We love you. To all the guys who had a crush on us and had our posters on the wall, you're welcome. And to Pep and Spin, I love you ladies for being together again. It feels so good to make history." View this post on Instagram The statement comes amid an escalating legal battle that began when the duo filed termination rights notices in 2022, seeking to reclaim ownership of their master recordings. Their lawsuit, filed earlier this year, accuses Universal Music Group of violating the Copyright Act by refusing to return control of their catalog despite their legal right to terminate the original agreements. According to court documents, Salt-N-Pepa claim UMG has deliberately blocked access to their original master recordings, preventing them from properly celebrating their Rock Hall induction. The duo alleges the label has made their music unavailable on streaming platforms and refused to provide high-quality recordings for promotional purposes surrounding their historic achievement. The timing of their public callout proves particularly strategic. Their decision to address the dispute during such a prestigious moment demonstrates the severity of their frustration with the label's response to their termination rights claims. Salt-N-Pepa's catalog includes some of Hip-Hop's most influential tracks, including "Push It," "Shoop," "Whatta Man" and "Let's Talk About Sex." These recordings, created during their partnership with various labels that eventually became part of UMG's vast catalog, represent decades of artistic achievement and cultural impact. The duo's legal team argues that UMG's actions constitute a deliberate attempt to sabotage their Rock Hall celebration and diminish their ability to capitalize on the increased attention surrounding their induction. They claim the label's refusal to cooperate has created unnecessary obstacles during what should be a career-defining moment. Industry observers note that Salt-N-Pepa's public stance reflects broader tensions between legacy artists and major labels over catalog ownership rights. The Copyright Act allows artists to reclaim their masters after specific time periods, but the process often involves complex legal battles with well-funded corporate entities. Following Salt's pointed remarks, the duo performed a medley of their greatest hits, including "Let's Talk About Sex" and "Push It." View this post on Instagram The ongoing dispute highlights ongoing challenges faced by pioneering Hip-Hop artists who created valuable catalogs under contracts that may not reflect current industry standards or fair compensation practices. Many of these agreements were negotiated during Hip-Hop's early commercial development, when the genre's long-term value wasn't fully recognized. UMG has not publicly responded to the Rock Hall ceremony comments, maintaining their previous stance that they are operating within their contractual rights. The label has consistently argued that Salt-N-Pepa's termination notices don't meet the specific requirements outlined in copyright law. Legal experts suggest the case could set important precedents for how termination rights are interpreted and enforced, particularly regarding Hip-Hop recordings from the genre's formative commercial period. The outcome may influence similar disputes involving other pioneering rap artists seeking to reclaim their catalogs. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/salt-n-pepa-seize-rock-hall-moment-to-call-out-umg-fans-cant-even-stream-our-music/

Andr 3000 Gets Emotional During Outkast's Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Induction

Posted by itstheboombap — Sun, 9 Nov 2025 07:24 GMT

Outkast was inducted into the Rock and Roll of Fame on November 8. The ever-elusive Andr 3000, who was spotted on Venice Beach earlier in the day, wound up making the trip to the Peacock Theater to accept the prestigious honor. After a quick game of rock, paper, scissors, Big Boi decided to take podium first and do a roll call of everyone he was thankful for along Outkast's journey, including executive L.A. Reid. Andr followed with an emotional trip down memory lane. As he reflected on Outkast's humble beginnings, he choked up while talking about the late Organized Noize producer Rico Wade, who died unexpectedly in April 2024. "Right out of high school, me, Big and CeeLo were the youngest people in the Dungeon," he said. "It just so happened Rico Wade saw something in us and gave us the opportunity to come [...] like Rico Wade, he's not here right now. I wish he could be here to see this. These people had to sacrifice their home. Ms. Beatrice had to sacrifice their home for us to make music. "This was the place called The Dungeon, where we were all making music and doing nefarious things as well. They had to go to school the next morning and we up bumping until like 6 in the morning and we smoking weed and it's going through the vents [...] From Busta Rhymes to Nas to Wu-Tang and even before, we had Raheem the Dream, these were our heroes." View this post on Instagram Shortly after, Andr teared up and said, "Great things start in little rooms," a reference to The Dungeon. He was quickly comforted by all of his loved ones and peers, who'd gathered on stage in support of the legendary Atlanta Hip-Hop duo. Big Boi soon lightened the mood with, "We bout to burn this b#### down!" From there, the stage lit up with a full band, with Tyler, The Creator doing vocal duties on "B.o.B.," Organized Noize producer Sleepy Brown joining Big Boi for "The Way You Move" and Janelle Mona taking the mic for "Hey Ya." View this post on Instagram The ceremony marked a monumental achievement for the Southern Hip-Hop pioneers, who were inducted by actor and musician Donald Glover. Glover praised the duo's revolutionary impact on the genre, crediting them with redefining Hip-Hop's geographical boundaries and artistic possibilities. Notably absent from the evening was any musical performance by Three Stacks, who has stepped away from traditional rap in recent years to focus on experimental flute and piano music. The artist's reluctance to perform Outkast classics has become a recurring theme at public appearances, leaving fans yearning for the duo's legendary catalog. Outkast's recognition comes decades after their groundbreaking debut, 1994's Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik, validating their influence on multiple generations of artists across genres. The ceremony celebrated not just their commercial success but also their cultural impact on American music-and they did it in style. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/andre-3000-gets-emotional-during-outkasts-rock-roll-hall-of-fame-induction/

Tyler Perry Stes Up With Millions As Trump Holds Food Hostage With SNAP Benefit Freeze

Posted by itstheboombap — Sun, 9 Nov 2025 05:03 GMT

Tyler Perry stepped forward with a massive $1.4 million charitable contribution as American families grapple with food insecurity following the suspension of full SNAP benefit payments. The entertainment mogul distributed his generous gift across six key organizations dedicated to combating hunger and supporting vulnerable populations. Recipients include the Atlanta Community Food Bank, Baby2Baby, Meals on Wheels Atlanta, Caring for Others, All for Lunch, Ron Clark Academy, and Goodr, which specializes in the distribution of fresh produce. Perry's philanthropic move comes as the Supreme Court blocked the complete disbursement of SNAP benefits on November 7 after the Trump Administration filed an emergency appeal. The decision delays a $4 billion transfer to the food stamp program as the legal battle continues during the ongoing government shutdown. The decision left millions of Americans uncertain about their next meal, particularly affecting working families, elderly citizens, and children. The filmmaker and business owner demonstrated a profound understanding of the crisis facing low-income households. Watch Video on YouTube "If you've never been poor, then you may not fully understand the life-changing impact SNAP benefits mean to hard-working people, to our seniors and to our children," Tyler Perry told People. "For millions of people, it could mean extreme hunger. For newborns, it could mean a lack of access to formula." His donation targets organizations with established networks for reaching families most severely impacted by the benefit suspension. Goodr and the Atlanta Community Food Bank, two primary beneficiaries, serve as a central hub for food distribution throughout the metropolitan area. Baby2Baby focuses on providing essential items to children and families in need, while Meals on Wheels Atlanta delivers nutrition directly to homebound seniors. The timing of Perry's contribution proves particularly significant as families prepare for the Thanksgiving holiday amid economic uncertainty. His swift response demonstrates the entertainment industry's potential role in addressing social crises when government programs face disruption. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/tyler-perry-stes-up-with-millions-as-trump-holds-food-hostage-with-snap-benefit-freeze/

Westside Gunn Blasts WWE After Being Kicked Out Buffalo's "Raw" Show

Posted by itstheboombap — Sun, 9 Nov 2025 04:30 GMT

Westside Gunn Says WWE Kicked Him Out Of Raw Despite Years Of Support Westside Gunn isn't holding back after claiming he was kicked out of WWE Raw in his hometown of Buffalo, New York - a move he says shattered his loyalty to the brand he's supported for years. The Griselda frontman, known for blending wrestling culture into his music and merch, said he's poured "thousands" into WWE tickets and promotions over the years. Still, he says the company has repeatedly ignored his passion for the sport and even threatened him over using wrestling-related references in his work. "After all these years of showing love, supporting and buying tickets, they kicked me out," Gunn wrote in a now-viral post. "My heart broke that day." The Buffalo rapper's relationship with wrestling has long been part of his identity. His label and art collective, 4THROPE, has worked with wrestlers, released limited-edition gear, and brought wrestling aesthetics into Hip-Hop fashion. WWE wrestlers and fans alike have embraced his enthusiasm in the past, but this latest incident seems to have ended that connection. Gunn said the removal from the show wasn't just humiliating - it was a turning point. "I've been loyal for years," he continued. "But now I'm done promoting WWE. I'm focused on building 4THROPE." The "Flygod" rapper has often celebrated legends like Ric Flair, The Undertaker, and Bret "The Hitman" Hart in his songs and visuals, bringing wrestling's swagger and storytelling into Hip-Hop's landscape. His next chapter appears to be about reclaiming that influence without corporate gatekeeping. As of now, WWE hasn't issued a response to Gunn's claims, but fans across social media are already rallying behind him - many echoing his frustration over how major brands treat artists who genuinely love and amplify their culture.

Kim Kardashian Laughs Off "All's Fair" 0% Rotten Tomatoes Score

Posted by itstheboombap — Sun, 9 Nov 2025 04:03 GMT

Kim Kardashian leaned into the backlash and turned it into a punchline after her acting debut in All's Fair was met with a flood of harsh reviews. The Hulu and Disney+ legal drama, created by Ryan Murphy, has been widely panned by critics, with some calling it "the worst TV show of the year." But Kardashian didn't shy away from the criticism. Instead, she posted a carousel of screenshots on Instagram, poking fun at the brutal feedback. "Have you tuned in to the most critically acclaimed show of the year!?!?!? All's Fair streaming now on @hulu and @disneyplus," she wrote, dripping with sarcasm. View this post on Instagram Among the posts she shared was a viewer's scathing but oddly affectionate take: "All's Fair on Hulu dares to ask the question, 'Does a show need to be good?' and the answer is no, it doesn't. We have legendary actresses here giving the worst performances of their careers, it takes a special kind of talent to pull that kind of inability out of them. Amazeballs." Another added, "Some of the worst acting I've ever seen in my life alongside the most predictable storylines and the most ridiculous styling. I'm obsessed and I need 14 seasons." Watch Video on YouTube The nine-episode series, which follows a high-powered all-female law firm in Los Angeles specializing in celebrity divorces, features a heavyweight cast including Sarah Paulson, Glenn Close, Naomi Watts and Niecy Nash-Betts. But even that star power couldn't shield it from being torched by critics. The Daily Telegraph called Murphy "the high priest of tacky, tasteless television," adding that "this year he has outdone himself." The Times went further, declaring it "may be the worst TV drama ever." The Guardian described it as "fascinatingly, existentially terrible." All three publications gave the series zero stars out of five. When All's Fair premiered, it earned a rare 0% score on Rotten Tomatoes. That number has since inched up to 5%. Despite the critical drubbing, Kardashian appears unfazed. Whether her post was defiance or just good PR, she's clearly not letting the reviews slow her down. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/kim-kardashian-laughs-off-alls-fair-0-rotten-tomatoes-score/

Diddy Denies Reports He Was Drinking Alcohol In Jail

Posted by itstheboombap — Sun, 9 Nov 2025 03:38 GMT

Diddy Denies Reports of Drinking Behind Bars as Social Media Speculation Grows Diddy's latest controversy isn't about music, money or mogul moves. It's about drank. Reports exploded online claiming the Bad Boy founder was caught drinking alcohol in jail, sparking a wave of speculation that he may have been celebrating his birthday with a little contraband. Several outlets doubled down on the rumor, suggesting he might have been intoxicated during the incident. But according to new information, those claims may have been exaggerated-or flat-out false. A recent post from Diddy's official X (formerly Twitter) account dismissed the reports entirely, calling them "completely false." So far, there's been no indication that Diddy faced any disciplinary action related to the alleged incident at Fort Dix He hasn't been placed in solitary confinement, nor has there been any mention of additional penalties. If true, that would suggest the story has more smoke than fire. Still, the timing couldn't be worse. The icon remains embroiled in a series of legal battles and is reportedly preparing to appeal a judge's decision in this case that has him in prison in the first place. Any hint of rule-breaking inside the facility could complicate those efforts, even if the rumors don't hold up under scrutiny. The denial didn't come directly from Diddy himself or his legal/social team, but the response carries enough weight to slow down the media frenzy that's been circling him for months. Some critics argue that the narrative around Diddy has turned into a campaign to paint him as a hypocrite and a broken man rather than a defendant facing serious allegations. For now, it seems the supposed jailhouse celebration was either blown out of proportion or completely fabricated. What's clear is that the world continues to watch Diddy closely, waiting for the next twist in a saga that shows no signs of slowing down. The rumors claiming Mr. Combs was caught with alcohol are completely false. His only focus is becoming the best version of himself and returning to his family. — LOVE (@Diddy) November 8, 2025 .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/rumors/diddy-denied-reports-he-was-drinking-alcohol-in-jail/

Director Anthony Hemingway Invokes "The Wire" To Defend Kim Kardashian After "All's Fair" Gets Trash

Posted by itstheboombap — Sun, 9 Nov 2025 03:01 GMT

Anthony Hemingway defended "All's Fair" and its embattled star, Kim Kardashian, after the legal drama was slammed by critics and saddled with a dismal 6% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The director, who helmed four episodes of the Ryan Murphy-produced series, addressed the backlash in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter , saying, "You're not going to please everybody." The show, which also stars Sarah Paulson, Naomi Watts and Niecy Nash-Betts, has been widely panned despite its high-profile cast. Still, Hemingway stood by the project, emphasizing that personal taste plays a major role in how viewers respond to content. "You may have certain criticisms, while there are a million others who love it. I think the show holds a mirror up to each person who watches it," he said. "It's just about: Can you connect to it or relate to it, and see yourself? It may be out of your league, it may not be anything you can connect to, and I think that goes for anything that gets presented on screen." Watch Video on YouTube Hemingway, who also served as an executive producer alongside Murphy, Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner, acknowledged the show might not resonate with everyone. "It may not be for you, and that's OK, but I personally enjoy the show," he said. "I had a lot of fun relating to it in my own way. Not everything is for everybody, and you can't also expect one person to define something and for that be the totality of what it is - I don't agree with that." Drawing from his own experience, Hemingway pointed to the slow-burning success of The Wire, the acclaimed HBO series he worked on in the early 2000s. "I also think sometimes things may take time," he said. "I did The Wire. No one liked the show when it was out. They hated it. They didn't watch it. Two people watched it every week. But it got to a point where it found a moment." He clarified that he wasn't directly comparing the two shows but used The Wire as an example of how public opinion can shift over time. "It becomes something totally different in another time," he added. All's Fair premiered in 2025 and has struggled to gain traction with both viewers and critics. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/director-anthony-hemingway-invokes-the-wire-to-defend-kim-kardashian-after-alls-fair-gets-trashed/

Olivia Rodrigo Rages At DHS For Using Her Music In "Racist" ICE Deportation Video

Posted by itstheboombap — Sun, 9 Nov 2025 02:02 GMT

Olivia Rodrigo called out the Department of Homeland Security after discovering her song "All-American B####" was used in a government video promoting self-deportation, blasting the unauthorized usage as "racist, hateful propaganda." The Grammy-winning singer took to social media to directly address both the White House and DHS accounts, writing, "don't ever use my songs to promote your racist, hateful propaganda." Olivia commented on the Department of Homeland Security's Instagram post, which used her song "all-american b####" in propaganda related to ICE. "don't ever use my songs to promote your racist, hateful propaganda" pic.twitter.com/UUZsn0Wv13 — Olivia Rodrigo Daily (@DailyRodrigo) November 7, 2025 The track, which opens her 2023 album Guts, explores themes of identity and societal pressure-making its use in a federal deportation campaign especially contentious. Rodrigo's post ignited a wave of support online, with users praising her for taking a bold stance. One comment read, "this 22 year old pop star with only 2 albums has taken more risks and has more of a backbone than most established singers with decade long careers." Another added, "the way she's always on the right side of history." The video in question was part of a broader push by DHS to encourage voluntary deportation, a tactic that has drawn criticism from immigration advocates and artists alike. The Trump administration has increased immigration enforcement efforts in recent months, prompting backlash from both political and cultural communities. Rodrigo, a former Disney Channel star turned chart-topping musician, has consistently used her platform to speak on social issues. Her latest rebuke adds her to a growing list of musicians-including BRMC, Jess Glynne, Zach Bryan and the estates of Woody Guthrie and Tom Petty-who have accused the government of misusing their work in political messaging without consent. As of now, neither the White House nor DHS has issued a public response to the criticism. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/olivia-rodrigo-rages-at-dhs-for-using-her-music-in-racist-ice-deportation-video/

EXCLUSIVE: Kirk Burrowes Goes After Diddy's Mom Again; Says He Has Proof She Was Ready To Pay Up

Posted by itstheboombap — Sun, 9 Nov 2025 01:01 GMT

Kirk Burrowes is doubling down on his legal battle with Sean "Diddy" Combs by targeting the mogul's mother in a fresh court filing that claims she held onto his Bad Boy Entertainment stock for nearly 30 years-then pretended she wanted to pay him back. In a revised complaint, Burrowes alleges that Janice Smalls, Diddy's mother, secretly held his 25% stake in the label since the 1990s and misled him for decades. He claims he only discovered in 2024 that she, not Diddy, had been in control of the shares he earned while co-founding the Hip-Hop powerhouse. Burrowes says Smalls "hid her role for decades" and misrepresented her intentions between 2019 and 2021 by requesting his banking details under the guise of restitution. He claims she never made any payments and had no intention of doing so. The lawsuit portrays Smalls as an active participant in the early days of Bad Boy, rather than a passive bystander. Burrowes argues she worked from the label's Times Square offices and continues to earn income from its business operations in New York. Watch Video on YouTube According to Burrowes, Smalls' involvement wasn't limited to the 1990s. He points to four separate instances between 1996 and 2021 when she allegedly misled him about the status of his stock. In one example, he states that she claimed she had never received the shares. In another, she allegedly told him that accountants would "arrange payment." Earlier this week, Janice Smalls called the lawsuit "preposterous" and asked the court to dismiss it. Her attorneys argue the case is legally void, expired under the statute of limitations, and lacks jurisdiction. The court had given Burrowes until August 29 to amend his complaint or respond to the dismissal motion. He missed the deadline and later requested an extension, but failed to follow through on it. Smalls' legal team has requested that the judge dismiss the case with prejudice, which would prevent Burrowes from refiling. They also claim Burrowes' legal action is a recycled version of two previously dismissed lawsuits and was only revived following Diddy's recent legal troubles. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/exclusive-kirk-burrowes-goes-after-diddys-mom-again-says-he-has-proof-she-was-ready-to-pay-up/

Mary J. Blige Mourns D'Angelo's Death & Angie Stone's Tragic Loss

Posted by itstheboombap — Sat, 8 Nov 2025 22:06 GMT

Mary J. Blige is still grappling with the heartbreak of D'Angelo dying from pancreatic cancer and the earlier death of his former partner, Angie Stone, calling both artists "beautiful people" in a somber tribute. The Grammy-winning singer opened up about the emotional toll of losing two close collaborators in the same year, describing the grief as surreal. Speaking to People, Blige recalled her time working with the neo-soul icon and Stone, who died in a car accident in March. "I worked with him and Angie [Stone]," Blige said. "I knew Angie very well and I knew D'Angelo very well, and I'm just still shocked and surprised." She added, "I just can't believe that both of them are gone." D'Angelo, known for his genre-defining role in the neo-soul movement, died on October 14, 2025, at 51 after a private fight with an aggressive form of cancer. View this post on Instagram A post shared by AllHipHop (@allhiphopcom) His family confirmed his passing in a statement, noting his strength throughout the illness. Blige reflected on the kindness and spirit both artists brought to the studio and beyond. "They were the most beautiful people and just really nice people to work with and to know," she said. "D'Angelo was a beautiful, beautiful person." D'Angelo had been quietly working on his fourth studio album before his death. His influence stretched across decades, shaping the sound of neo-soul and inspiring a generation of artists with his raw, soulful delivery and innovative production. His 2000 hit "Untitled (How Does It Feel)" remains a cultural touchstone, and his artistry left a lasting imprint on music lovers and fellow performers alike. D'Angelo was born and raised in Richmond, Virginia, and rose to prominence in the 1990s with his debut album "Brown Sugar." He followed it with the critically acclaimed "Voodoo," cementing his place as one of the most influential voices in modern R&B. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/mary-j-blige-mourns-dangelos-death-angie-stones-tragic-loss/
