iShowSpeed Leaks Kai Cenat's Phone Number In New Diss Track

Posted by dablazefm — Wed, 24 Apr 2024 03:49 GMT

Everybody is airing dirty laundry this year. Rappers are making good on subliminal threats that are a decade old, in the case of Drake and Kendrick Lamar, but the aggression is going beyond the world of hip-hop. On April 23, iShowSpeed decided to take aim at fellow streaming giant Kai Cenat with a diss track of his own! The diss was recorded over the beat to Drake's "Back to Back," and sees iShowSpeed call Cenat out for being a fake. Admittedly, the words he chooses are a bit stronger. He also decides to leak Cenat's phone number. iShowSpeed doesn't bother with clever bars or double entendres. Anybody who has watched one of the streamer's videos will not be surprised. He does, however, bring a wild, intense level of aggression to the freestyle. "Kai, you can't pull Tyla/You dirty a*s n**ga," he raps while shirtless. "You do not pull b*tches. I'm sending 5K to a f*cking b*tch, I never pay for p**sy, n**ga suck my d*ck." Like we said, aggressive. iShowSpeed performs in front of a green screen, though it's unclear why the green screen wasn't used during the performance. Read More: Kai Cenat: All About The Famed Streamer & Super Influencer iShowSpeed Responded To Cenat's "In Da Club" Diss Watch Video on YouTube The bombshell comes during the second half of the track, when iShowSpeed mentions streamer Adin Ross. It's here that he decides to effectively dox Kai Cenat by revealing his phone number to viewers. "Adin leaked by number," he raps. "Here go your muthaf**kin number." Speed then holds up his phone to the screen and refocuses the camera so that fans can get a clear look at Cenat's personal number. He doesn't stop there, though. "B*tch I really don't care," he added. "Zoom in, take a good stare. Nah, I don't give a f*ck, you always on my d*ck, n**ga suck my left nut." Causual fans may be unaware, but this was actually a response to a diss Cenat dropped a month prior. Cenat dissed iShowSpeed over the instrumental to 50 Cent's "In da Club," but it's safe to say that the latter upped the ante by leaking private information online. The reasoning behind their disagreement is unclear, with many assuming the two streamers are merely cashing in on the trend of 2024 feuds. Regardless of the motive, it's safe to assume Cenat will craft an equally outlandish response.

Bas Pens Heartfelt Tribute To His Late Mother: "Rest Easy Now"

Posted by dablazefm — Wed, 24 Apr 2024 03:21 GMT

Bas has always been a transparent artist. Part of his appeal lies in his ability to take difficult experiences and emotions and condense them down to catchy, relatable songs. It's an ability he shares with his label boss J. Cole. Those who question Bas' remarkable poise need look no further than the Instagram post he made on April 23. The rapper announced that his mother had passed away, and he expressed his love for her in a bittersweet remembrance. The loss of a parent is never easy, but Bas chose to emphasize the positives that his mother's death wrought for both him and his siblings. "I no longer fear death for when my time comes, I know I'll be reunited with you," the rapper wrote. "Thank you for the gift of my siblings and the love you and Baba displayed for us. So many people the world over have felt your warmth and can testify to the love you emit." Bas, who posted a photo of him and his mother at the Grammy Awards, promised to keep living the way she would have wanted. "We will carry that legacy," he added. "You've made us so proud." Read More: Bas Announces 2024 North American Tour Bas' Post Drew Support From Other Rappers View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bas (@bas) Bas was born to Sudanese parents, and he credits them with exposing him to different kinds of art growing up. "My parents would let me hear some Sudanese music," he told The Grio in 2014. "Pretty much anything when I was growing up." This musical influence would manifest in the rapper's 2018 breakout album, Milky Way. He also chronicled the difficulty of living in war-torn Sudan in the music video for the 2023 single "Khartoum." Bas is widely-liked within the hip-hop world, so it was no surprise to see rappers voicing their support in the comment section of his post. Cozz and Omen, two of Bas' Dreamville label mates, expressed similar sentiments regarding mourning. "May God bless you and the family with strength and guidance during this time," the latter wrote. "The form may transition but the love is forever." Smino, Denzel Curry and Saba also took the time out to pay respect to the rapper's mother. Bas' last album, the ominously titled We Only Talk About Real Sh*t When We're F*cked Up, was released in December 2023. The rapper was last heard on the track "H.Y.B." from J. Cole's mixtape Might Delete Later.

Pitbull And T-Pain Are Bringing 00s Vibes Back With "Party After Dark Tour"

Posted by dablazefm — Wed, 24 Apr 2024 02:28 GMT

Pitbull and T-Pain dominated the 2000s. It was tough to go more than a few minutes on the radio without hearing their voices on hits like "Hotel Room Service" and "Buy U A Drank." Both artists symbolize good times in a club setting, whether they were the main artist or the feature, so it makes perfect sense that they'd join forces for the upcoming "Party After Dark Tour." The North American tour will kick off August 21 in Virginia, and culminate October 5 in New Mexico. Pitbull and T-Pain hyped up the tour on their respective social media accounts. "Get ready! I'm heading your way for the #PartyAfterDarkTour w/ special guest @TPAIN," the former wrote on Instagram. "Tix on sale Friday at 10am. Daleeee." T-Pain, meanwhile, tweeted: "HEY BABY GIRL WHATCHU DOING THIS FALL??? I'm going back on the road with my brother @pitbull." If the sight of these two aughts icons wasn't enough to delight fans, specific dates on the tour will also feature appearances from Lil Jon. These specific dates include stops in Washington and California. Read More: Pitbull Net Worth 2024: Updated Wealth Of The Megastar Pitbull And T-Pain Will Be Joined By Guest Lil Jon View this post on Instagram A post shared by Pitbull (@pitbull) Pitbull and T-Pain have a brief but impressive track record. They scored a massive hit out the gate with 2011's "Hey Baby (Drop It to the Floor)," which peaked at number seven on the Billboard Hot 100. They followed it up with "Shake Senora," then took a decade break before reuniting for "Lit In the City" last year. Both artists have continued to tour, but Pitbull did stir up controversy during a 2021 show in which he attacked critics of the United States. "To whoever the f**k doesn't like the United States of America," he said onstage. "May God bless you, but f**k you at the same time. He later said he credited his huge success to living in the U.S. and therefore felt very passionate about the country. That was then, however. Pitbull is back to making people dance, because that's what he enjoys the most at the end of the day. He reflected on his "party rapper" status during an interview with the San Diego Tribune. "They always looking at Pitbull like, 'Oh, he's just the party guy. He's just making these club anthems'," he noted. "[I] put these records out because I knew that people would enjoy them and it could feed their wild side." This "wild side" is exactly what Pitbull and T-Pain will be feeding on tour. Tickets go on sale starting April 26 at 10 a.m. Read More: Doja Cat Album Leaks Aren't Phasing Singer, She Names Pitbull In Her Big 3 Rappers The post Pitbull And T-Pain Are Bringing 00s Vibes Back With "Party After Dark Tour" appeared first on HotNewHipHop. via: https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/792329-pitbull-and-t-pain-are-bringing-00s-vibes-back-with-party-after-dark-tour-hip-hop-news

Ja Rule Claims 50 Cent Had An Order Of Protection During Their Feud

Posted by dablazefm — Wed, 24 Apr 2024 01:19 GMT

Rappers really want beef in 2024. The first quarter of the year has been dominated by diss records and social media digs, and it's trickling down to previous generations. Drake and Kendrick Lamar's ongoing battle led Ja Rule to draw comparisons to his 2000s saga with 50 Cent. Fans clowned Ja Rule, as is the usual, but he dropped some previously unknown information that turned heads. The rapper claimed that 50 Cent filed an order of protection against him, despite his tough talk in the media. The tweet that initiated the revelatory exchange was posted April 20. Ja Rule took note of the rappers who were teaming up to diss Drake, and made light of the situation by writing: "20 v 1 I can relate." The tweet led one user to question Ja's math. "They said 50 Cent had Ja Rule seeing 20," the user posted. This is where things got interesting. On April 22, Ja responded to the tweet by dropping some major information about his feud with 50. He accused the entire G-Unit crew of filing an order of protection against him. An order of protection is similar to a restraining order. Barnes Jewish Hospital defines it as "a document issued by a court and signed by a judge to help protect you from harassment or abuse."

Gunit literally had an ORDER OF PROTECTION against murder Inc... can you imagine if one of the camps in this beef right now put an order of protection on the other...

#CWWTST

https://t.co/xh7GTs9eSB — Ja Rule (@jarule) April 22, 2024 Basically, 50 Cent and company took legal action to ensure that Ja Rule could not harm them. 50 Cent mocked Ja for being a fake gangster, but the latter allegedly prohibited Ja from ever coming near him. The latter highlighted the irony of the situation in his tweet. He also claimed Drake and Kendrick Lamar would get roasted by fans if either of them attempted to file an order of protection. "Gunit literally had an order of protection against Murder Inc," he wrote. "Can you imagine if one of the camps in this beef right now put an order of protection on the other..." Ja Rule's beef experiences came to define his legacy as a rapper. It subsequently makes sense that he's urging the current generation to set their differences aside and focus on music. "Hip hop is a family... and no one wins when the family feuds," he wrote in a separate tweet. "Don't let that go over your head... #hiphopvseverybody." It's a nice sentiment, even if Drake and Lamar decide to ignore it.

Cam'ron Fans Want A New Album After Hearing His Killer Freestyle

Posted by dablazefm — Wed, 24 Apr 2024 00:43 GMT

It's been a long time since Cam'ron dropped new music. The New York rapper has rebranded himself as a podcaster on the popular series It Is What It Is, but fans are still waiting for him to pick the mic back up. Fans can rejoice, because he finally did. Cam'ron decided to give fans a taste of new music on April 22, with a freestyle meant to commemorate the release of It Is What It Is season 4. Rather than get fans buzzing about new episodes, however, it fueled rumors of Cam getting back in the studio. Cam proved that he hasn't lost a step on the untitled freestyle. "Heck my shoes before I put them on, I don't trust a soul," he raps over Hitmakerz-esque production. Cam credited the beat to Goddams, who's worked with Masta Ace, Mobb Deep, and the "Purple Haze" wordsmith himself among countless others. The freestyle drew rave reviews from users, who pleaded with Cam'ron to get back in the studio and bless the world with more Dipset magic. Cam'ron has comfortably settled into his role as podcaster, but he like to tease fans every once in a while. During a February episode of It Is What It Is, Cam claimed he and co-host Mase have multiple collabs in the vault. "It's up to Mase to decide when to drop them," he added. Read More: Cam'ron Says "Pause" Too Much, He Admits In New Interview Cam'ron Teased New Music With Pod Co-Host Mase View this post on Instagram A post shared by @mr_camron Cam'ron didn't have the prodigious output of a Lil Wayne, but he was one of the most consistent rappers of the 2000s. He dropped five solo albums and a ton of Dipset mixtapes/compilations. He's slowed down his output, however, over the last decade and a half. He waited a decade to follow up Crime Pays (2009) with Purple Haze 2 (2019), which remains his last official release. Cam talked about the decision to stop recording during an interview with Complex. He claimed that he wanted to pursue different ventures like podcasting and screenwriting, and urged others to do the same. "Rappers who came out in the '90s or early 2000s, [rapping] shouldn't be the main thing you're doing," he noted. "Like when you say Jay-Z is a billionaire, it's not all for music." Cam'ron has officially come back around to rapping. He dropped the mixtape The Lost Files, Vol. 1 in 2023, and dropped a guest verse on J. Cole's "Ready '24." There's no project title or release date in sight, but it's nice to know the NYC legend has still got it.

Megan Thee Stallion's Lawyer Calls Harassment Case A "Salacious" Money Grab

Posted by dablazefm — Tue, 23 Apr 2024 23:22 GMT

Megan Thee Stallion's legal troubles persist. The rapper endured a multi-year case in which Tory Lanez was found guilty of shooting her, and now she finds herself the accused. Emilio Garcia, a photographer who worked for Megan between 2019 and 2023, claimed he witnessed the rapper having sex while in a moving car. Garcia was reportedly told not to "discuss" what he saw, which led to what he described as a "hostile work environment." The photographer is seeking financial compensation for his experiences, but Megan's lawyer is not concerned. Alex Spiro issued a statement to Page Six shortly after Garcia's case were announced. The lawyer, who represented Megan Thee Stallion during the Lanez case, claimed that the photographer's claims had no weight to them. Furthermore, he criticized Garcia's comments for being "salacious" attempts to slander the name of his client. "This is an employment claim for money," Spiro publicly stated. "With no sexual harassment claim filed and with salacious accusations to attempt to embarrass her." The lawyer then stated that Megan Thee Stallion plans to disprove these accusations "in court."

(Photo by Dia Dipasupil/Getty Images) Garcia is seeking several different forms of compensation. He's seeking unpaid overtime, unpaid wages plus interest, and employee benefits on top of punitive damages. The photographer cited the incident in the car as one of many in which he was made to feel "uncomfortable." He also claimed Megan and her camp would repeatedly make jokes about his weight and appearance. "I felt uncomfortable," he recalled. "I was kind of frozen, and I was shocked." Garcia was fired shortly after the car incident, which prompted him to seek legal representation. He has not, however, filed an official sexual harassment claim. Megan Thee Stallion has never been more popular. The rapper bounced back from the Tory Lanez drama to drop the number one single "Hiss" in January. The single was Megan's third to go number one, making her the first lead female rapper to debut atop the chart. A month later, Megan signed a deal with Warner Music Group that allowed her to maintain her status as an independent artist. Her net worth currently sits at $12 million. The rapper has not directly responded to Garcia's accusations.

Kim Kardashian Confirms Some Bizarre Rumors About Herself

Posted by dablazefm — Tue, 23 Apr 2024 22:29 GMT

Earlier this week, reality star Kim Kardashian made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel's late night talk show. She was there primarily to discuss the season finale to the current American Horror Story anthology. She took on an acting role in the series and discussed some of her experiences and the upcoming finale while on the show. Additionally, the pair played a special game where Kim spoke on rumors about her that have allegedly been circulating for years. Through the game she revealed all kinds of unique eccentricities about herself. She admitted that before putting on any metal jewelry or clothes she uses a blow dryer on it to heat it up. This is apparently because she doesn't like the feeling of cold metal touching her skin. Similarly, she revealed she hates the sounds that cardboard makes dragging against other objects. Specifically, she makes her assistants remove the cardboard slip covers from her coffees to avoid having to hear the sound. She copped to even more strange things throughout the segment. Check out the full clip below.

Taylor Swift has been feuding with the reality star for years now dating back to a 2016 beef that Kardashian inherited from Kanye West. Kim has been near silent on the beef for years but Taylor has brought it up repeatedly. She once again did so on a track from the deluxe edition of her new album The Tortured Poets Department. She used playful capitalization on a song called "thanK you aIMee" to make sure fans knew just who the song was meant to be about. What do you think of Kim Kardashian confessing to various quirky behaviors? Do you think she purposefully tried to avoid the recent diss track Taylor Swift released about her?

Kanye West Announces Plans For Yeezy Adult Entertainment Studio

Posted by dablazefm — Tue, 23 Apr 2024 22:29 GMT

Few pop culture events are more chaotic than a Kanye West press tour. The rapper manages to shock fans every time he sits down for an interview, and this week has been no different. West told TMZ on Tuesday that he plans to start a brand new pornography studio under his Yeezy banner. This has been a long time coming, according to the outlet. West plans to launch the porn studio as early as this summer, with the help of industry veteran Mike Moz. A representative for Kanye West claimed he's entertained the notion of getting into porn for several years. The difference maker, it seems, is the connection with the aforementioned Moz. As a former boyfriend of Stormy Daniels, Moz reportedly has the experience and the knowledge to make a porn studio successful. At least, in the rapper's estimation. TMZ reported that the Yeezy porn studio would kick off a "broader adult entertainment division" with Yeezy as the parent company. West has not yet commented on the business plan in a public capacity. Read More: Kanye West Disses Drake On "Like That Remix": A Break Down Of Lyrics Kanye West Claims Pornography Ruined His Life PARIS, FRANCE - (Photo by Stephane Cardinale - Corbis/Corbis via Getty Images) Kanye West has a contentious history with pornography. He served as the official creative director of the 2018 Pornhub Awards, and performed his single "I Love It" at the ceremony. The rapper has also claimed to have a porn addiction that threatened his relationship with his ex-wife and his children. In 2022, he got on Instagram to criticize social media for making porn more accessible than ever. "Hollywood is a giant brothel Pornography destroyed my family I deal with the addiction," he claimed. "Instagram promotes it Not gonna let it happen to Northy and Chicago," he continued. West is singing a completely different tune in 2024, which is something fans should be well accustomed to. The rapper famously cycles through different eras and belief systems in his life and music, only to change things up shortly after. Historically, West has announced business plans that have yet to come to fruition, so time will tell if Yeezy's adult entertainment studio actually happens. Until it does, it's yet another bizarre chapter in the Kanye West saga.

Kanye West Disses Drake On "Like That Remix": A Break Down Of Lyrics

Posted by dablazefm — Tue, 23 Apr 2024 22:07 GMT

If you thought Drake and Kanye West had forgotten their long-standing beef, think again. Ye recently came out guns a-blazing with the release of the "Like That Remix," proving that he and Drizzy have a long way to go before they settle. From the first line of the diss track, it's evident that Ye has a bone to pick. Alongside Future, Metro Boomin', and Ty Dolla $ign, this remix borrows many elements from the original track and takes things up a notch. Altogether, 2024 has quickly become the year of the diss track, and the Drake-Kanye West beef is the latest entry in the long lineup. Drake Vs. The World View this post on Instagram A post shared by champagnepapi (@champagnepapi) Kanye West and Drake's beef stretches back years, and the remix is the most recent milestone. However, while Ye is pretty used to commandeering multiple spats simultaneously, this is seemingly new territory for Drizzy. In what can only be considered a humongous feat, Drake has had words for several heavyweights in the game this year alone. Between Kendrick Lamar, Rick Ross, and now Ye, it's a miracle he's still standing. As Drake continues to prove he's no pushover, the industry is foaming at the mouth in anticipation of what's to come. But what's most remarkable is that two of his diss tracks, "Push Ups" and the controversial, AI-assisted "Taylor Made Freestyle," are targeted at Kendrick. This is why Ye's involvement caught us all by surprise. Kanye West debuted the "Like That Remix" during his appearance on The Download with Justin Laboy, and this has effectively added a new layer to his ongoing beef with Drake. Ye Felt "Energized" To Eliminate Drake YE PREMIERES "LIKE THAT" REMIX ON @TheDownloadShow @KanyeWest HE REALLY LIKE THAT #Respectfully pic.twitter.com/ADZLzHzU1b — Respectfully Justin (@JustinLaboy) April 20, 2024 Much to the disappointment of fans, Kendrick Lamar has yet to respond to Drake for the aforementioned diss tracks. Nonetheless, Ye seems to have taken on the task, claiming the baton off K-Dot. It's no wonder the track begins the way he does. In an aggressive manner, Ye hollers: "You know we had to get The Hooligans up here / We gon' take this p*ssy n*gga out / Yo, Dot, I got you." Right out the gate, Kanye's made his intentions clear... he's out for blood. While on The Download, he shared that he was "energized" to take down Drake. "[Future] called me and I went to the studio and laid that," he began. "We went through the creative process of adding the chords and called the Hooligans out in London to get on the joint... Everybody was very, very energized about the elimination of Drake." Multiple Stray Bullets NEW YORK, NY - JUNE 14: The Weeknd and Howie Richmond Hitmaker Award Honoree. Sir Lucian Grainge pose backstage during the Songwriters Hall of Fame 49th Annual Induction and Awards Dinner at. New York Marriott Marquis Hotel on June 14, 2018, also in New York City. (Photo by Larry Busacca/Getty Images for Songwriters Hall Of Fame) In true Ye fashion, shots were fired at not just Drake but those within his proximity. Drake famously resigned with Universal Music Group in 2022, reportedly featuring some serious money being thrown around. UMG's CEO, Lucian Grainge, was one of the names dropped on the "Like That Remix." Specifically, Ye referred to him as Drake's "master." "Where's Lucian? Serve your master, n*gga / You caught a little bag for your masters, didn't ya / Lifetime deal, I feel bad for n*ggas / Y'all so outta sight, outta mind/ I can't even think of a Drake line." However, the most memorable stray bullet fell on J. Cole, who famously bowed out of the rap feud by apologizing to Kendrick Lamar. Nonetheless, Ye had some words for him. In what has become one of the most viral lines on the track, Kanye says, "Play J. Cole, get the pu**y dry." The reason for the animosity remains unclear, but fans have long since had their theories about why Kanye West and J. Cole do not see eye to eye. For one, Ye might not have enjoyed Cole's "big three" claim. However, Kendrick's response about "big me" didn't seem to rub Kanye the wrong way. In 2016, Cole's "False Prophets" had a few lines that may have subtly pointed to Ye's mental health issues. Whatever the case may be, Ye told Justin Laboy that it was too late for Cole to back out of the feud. Evidently, the damage is already done. "It's like, n**ga, you can't run now," Ye said. Conclusion Kanye West and Drake's beef has now hit a new peak. It's anyone's guess if Ye will double down with another verse soon. Or maybe Drizzy has some words of his own in store. However, at the core of it all is Kendrick Lamar. Above all, the fans are still eager for his return.

ASAP Rocky Drops New "DON'T BE DUMB" Merch, Fans Speculate About New Music

Posted by dablazefm — Tue, 23 Apr 2024 21:48 GMT

Earlier this month, Rihanna revealed that ASAP Rocky has been hard at work on his new album. While that didn't satisfy the pop fans who have been waiting since 2016 for a new project from RiRi, it got rap fans buzzing. They didn't have to wait long for something to capture their attention either. Earlier today Rocky dropped some new merch onto his AWGE website. The merch prominently features the bulletproof vests that he wore in performances last year. The vest also appears in the video for his single "Riot (Rowdy Pipe'n)" which dropped last year and many think may be a single from his new album. Rocky has been teasing a new album called DON'T BE DUMB for years now and there have been numerous times when fans felt it was close. Despite that concrete updates on the album have been very few and far between. But with Rihanna's announcement and the new merch drop fans once again think they may be close to getting the first new Rocky album since 2018's Testing.

He was almost on ScHoolboy Q's new album Blue Lips. Q has a pretty long gap of his own between releases returning after 5 years away.

Morgan Freeman Voiced His Love Of Elon Musk In Resurfaced Interview

Posted by dablazefm — Tue, 23 Apr 2024 21:36 GMT

It turns out Morgan Freeman is a big fan of Elon Musk. In a recently reposted video from 2016, Freeman is seen singing Elon Musk's praises in an interview. In the Video, the Oscar-winning actor Morgan Freeman endorsed the billionaire businessman. Freeman shared that he was a big supporter and was excited about all the promises Musk made. Those promises and hopes were eight years ago, but they still count. Musk was so enthralled by the clip that he reposted it on X (formally known as Twitter). A rediscovered 2016 video clip showed Freeman endorsing Musk's ideas for the future. He confessed that he enjoys taking short breaks from movie sets to check the price of Tesla's shares, showing that he genuinely follows Musk's pursuits. Musk is currently searching for any credibility he can, and this clip of Morgan Freeman from 2016 is serving its purpose. Morgan Freeman's eight-year-old endorsement might send Musk's reputation into an upswing.

Additionally, Freeman said, "What he's done, nobody else has ever done. He's landed a rocket ship so it's reusable, do you know what a feat that is? Now we're taking off, we're going to be going to Mars delivering stuff to people who are going to be settling there, just like they settled the Old West, and bringing those ships back and landing them and reloading them." Freeman was truly keeping up with everything Musk. Elon Musk was so happy that the interview resurfaced he called Morgan Freeman "Awesome" on X (Formerly known as Twitter). Fans are, of course, split on the matter. Elon Musk fans are loving it and are reposting the clip on social media. Additionally, detractors are wondering if Freeman knows about Musk's problematic transgressions. Once again, the video is almost 8-years old, so take it with a grain of salt. That's two presidential terms worth of time. Overall, things have changed, but Morgan Freeman is probably still a fan of the Tech mogul.

Drake Kids: Does The Rap Megastar Have Any?

Posted by dablazefm — Tue, 23 Apr 2024 20:55 GMT

As one of the biggest pop superstars in the modern world, Drake has made no secret of his many sexual exploits. The "First Person Shooter" rapper has stated numerous times in his lyrics that he enjoys casual hookups with great frequency. This musical content has led many fans to wonder if Drake has numerous kids as a result of his lifestyle. As far as the public knows, Drake is the father of only one child named Adonis Graham. Adonis's existence was revealed to the public during a 2018 rap beef, which saw Drake verbally sparring with rap legend Pusha T. Since then, Drake's kid has gone on to share the spotlight with his famous dad and even release his music. Adonis Was Born In October 2017 View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sophie Brussaux

(@sophieknowsbetter) Drake's one and only kid was born to former pornography star Sophie Brussaux in 2017. When first confronted with the reality of fatherhood, Drake allegedly denied paternity claims over Adonis before ultimately coming to terms with his new role as a dad. The specific details of Drake's acceptance of his son are quite murky. According to some fans and insiders, it seemed like Drake was a deadbeat dad until Pusha T revealed his son to the world. Others have argued that Drake was present in Adonis's life before the rap feud. Drake defended himself against claims that he had been absent in his kid's life on the 2018 track "Emotionless." In the song, Drake elucidates, "Look at the way we live. I wasn't hiding my kid from the world, I was hiding the world from my kid." Drake also claims that he planned to reveal Adonis to the world as part of a partnership with Adidas back in 2018, though Pusha T ultimately spoiled the surprise. Pusha T Name-Dropped Adonis On Wax Watch Video on YouTube In May 2018, Pusha T released the earth-shattering diss record "The Story Of Adidon." The track, which makes use of the instrumental from Jay-Z's "The Story Of OJ," is a direct response to Drake's "Duppy Freestyle," which name-dropped Pusha T's at-the-time fianc e. "The Story Of Adidon" revealed a wide array of explosive secrets, though the biggest saw Push referring to Drake as a deadbeat dad, and revealing the identity of Adonis and his mother. On the track, Pusha T raps, "A baby's involved, it's deeper than rap / We talkin' character, let me keep with the facts / You are hiding a child, let that boy come home / Deadbeat mothaf***er playin' border patrol / Adonis is your son, and he deserves more than an Adidas press run." Drake never formally responded to this track, though he has gone on to publicly acknowledge his kid's existence since "The Story Of Adidon" dropped. Adonis Has His Own Song Now Watch Video on YouTube Regardless of Drake's previous alleged experience with his son, he is now a loving father, frequently seen co-parenting in Sophie Brussaux's social media posts. Sophie has referred to Drake as an amazing father over the years. Adonis has been seen tagging along with the rap superstar at sporting events, music video shoots, and other public outings. In 2023, Adonis took a hands-on role with his father's music, drawing the cover art for Drake's For All The Dogs album. Additionally, Adonis has released his own song, titled "My Man Freestyle," which showcases the six-year-old boy rapping a stream of consciousness about sports, his dad, and accidentally breaking his iPad. The music video for "My Man Freestyle" prominently features Drake, standing by as a proud dad while his son plays youth basketball with a gang of friends.

NBA YoungBoy To Remain In Federal Custody While He Awaits Pretrial Release Hearing

Posted by dablazefm — Tue, 23 Apr 2024 20:31 GMT

NBA YoungBoy looks to be in a whole heap of trouble after his recent arraignment on April 16. As most know, the prolific Baton Rouge, Louisiana rapper has been on house arrest in Utah for federal weapons charges and now he is facing even more charges. Those currently include "patterns of unlawful activity, procuring or attempting to procure drugs, identity fraud, forgery, possession of controlled substances, and possession of a dangerous weapon." That was all reported by social media sleuth DJ Akademiks. Now, we have another new update surrounding YB's legal situation. According to AllHipHop, the 24-year-old Kentrell Gaulden will be kept in federal custody until his pretrial release hearing on April 29. The "Cache County Sheriff's Office accused YB and his associates of illegally obtaining promethazine with codeine from pharmacies." The rapper and the rest of the people involved were allegedly posing as doctors and fake patients to trick pharmacists. The Cache County investigator on the case, Tyson Hyrum Nielsen, sniffed out that the rapper was pretending to be an elderly woman with the alias, Gwendolyn Cox. AllHipHop says that Nielsen called "Cox" and YoungBoy on separate phone calls to decipher that it was indeed one person putting on a disguise.

'Gwendolyn' sounded as though she was a much younger male from the southern states... Kentrell Gaulden continued to attempt to further the prescription fraud by talking about the prescription and saying, 'she on the hospital bed,' referring to the patient 'Gwendolyn Cox' from the previous day," Nielsen said. He even noticed small dialect errors like saying "axe" instead of "ask." What are your thoughts on NBA YoungBoy being held in jail until his pretrial hearing on April 29? How do you see this entire court case playing out for him? Do you see YB getting out of the legal issues in the future, why or why not?

Caitlin Clark Is Preparing To Sign Massive Nike Deal Valued At $28 Million

Posted by dablazefm — Tue, 23 Apr 2024 20:01 GMT

Caitlin Clark is set to sign a massive deal with Nike. Clark is one of the most electric scorers in NCAA history and is the No. 1 overall WNBA draft pick. There was a lot of chatter about Clark's WNBA salary when the Indiana Fever drafted her. The worries about her being underpaid will now hopefully stop. The reported deal Clark is about to sign with Nike is valued at over $28 million. The deal will give Clark the richest endorsement contract in women's sports history. We knew the deal would be big, and Clark was getting a signature show from Nike, but seeing the numbers is something. Clark became a household name in the past two women's collegiate seasons, carrying Iowa to two final fours. The Iowa Hawkeyes lost to Dawn Staley's South Carolina. Now, Clark is preparing to make her professional debut for the Indiana Fever. It seems like women's basketball is revolving around Clark at the moment. The WNBA is hoping her popularity will elevate the league. If the WNBA does its part and Clark is half as good as she was in college, then they will be in good shape.

(Photo by Thien-An Truong/ISI Photos/Getty Images) Caitlin Clark's deal is being reported as nearing completion. Those close to the negotiations have valued the deal at over $28 million. There has been no official word from Clark's camp or Nike about the deal. Under Armor and Adidas were also in the running to sign Clark to an endorsement deal. As their highest-profile athlete, NBA great Steph Curry was a part of Under Armor's pitch. Reportedly, Clark got offers of $16 million from Under Armour over four years and $6 million from Adidas over four years, both of which included a trademark shoe. Clark earned a lot of money through her NIL deal while at Iowa. She made over $3 million as she played for the Hawkeyes. Clark's team has been at work negotiating a deal since before her final season at Iowa ended. Clark has been the main factor in the women's basketball surge. The Women's NCAA tournament championship game beat out the men in the ratings for the first time, and Clark is a big reason for this. The WNBA is going to experience its highest-rated season, probably ever, starting this May.
