Mustard Releases His Own Condiments Line

Posted by hoosierheatradio — Sat, 26 Jul 2025 02:01 GMT

Mustard now has his own condiments after launching a collaboration with Heinz with the hitmaker being dubbed the "Chief Mustard Officer". Appropriately, the "Not Like Us" producer has released a limited edition chipotle honey mustard with the food giant which is now available only through Amazon, Target and Walmart. The mustard is only available while stocks last. Fittingly, an advertisement for the mustard used Kendrick Lamar and Lefty Gunplay's "TV Off" in which the Compton superstar yells "MUSTAAAAARD," a call which went viral when the song was released last November. ITS OUT!!!!!https://t.co/CsiCkSj882 - Mustard (@mustard) July 23, 2025 The deal between the two parties was initially announced in February with Heinz announcing that it was their first new mustard offering in a decade with Mustard also collaborating with the company on new recipes involving his version of the condiment. In a statement, the producer said: "This collab coming to life is a big deal and something that has been decades in the making for me. Everyone knows me for my beats and sound, but what they don't know is that cooking and grilling is a huge part of my life. I'm on the grill every chance I get. I've been using HEINZ since I was a kid, so partnering with them is something I've always wanted to do." Todd Kaplan, North American Chief Marketing Officer for Kraft Heinz, added: "Much like HEINZ, Mustard is someone who goes all in when he creates something to put out into the world. He has been a fan of the brand for years, so it was only a matter of time before Mustard met his perfect match with HEINZ. It's been great to collaborate with him on so many levels, as this partnership will manifest in an amazing new sauce remix that we know our collective fans will love. He has brought the same energy and commitment he pours into all of his music to this partnership, and we can't wait for all the surprises in store for the year ahead!" Mustard has had a breakout twelve months following the success of "Not Like Us" and also his cameo appearance during Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show performance. via: https://hiphopdx.com/news/mustard-releases-own-condiments-line/

Wu-Tang Clan Throw Their Support Behind Zohran Mamdani

Posted by hoosierheatradio — Fri, 25 Jul 2025 21:00 GMT

Wu-Tang Clan appear to have thrown their support behind New York mayoral hopeful, Zohran Mamdani. The Democratic party's candidate for the post attended a recent Wu-Tang concert at Madison Square Garden and ended up backstage having a conversation about politics with RZA. The two have a conversation about how to make certain New York neighbourhoods more affordable with RZA appearing on board with Mamdani's proposals. He can be seen saying to the Wu-Tang leader: "I think a big part of it is to make Brownsville a place that you don't have to leave. There are too many people for whom stability, space, raising a family, you can only do it outside of New York City. The whole campaign that we ran on is about 'How do we make the most expensive city in the United States of America affordable?'" One person who will not be voting for Mamdani is 50 Cent. 50 had previously called out Mamdani's tax plans which would include a 2% tax increase for New York's wealthiest citizens. On Instagram, 50 posted a clip of the Democrat candidate for mayor being interviewed on The Breakfast Club where he discussed his tax policies. Mamdani says: "What I've proposed is we raise $10 billion to pay for our entire economic agenda and start to Trump proof our city because we know he'll use federal funding as leverage over this city. And we will do so in two key ways. The first is to match the state's top corporate tax rate to that of New Jersey. We are at 7.25%, they are at 11.5%. Corporations can pay it over there, they can pay it over here. And the beauty of it is it doesn't just apply to corporations headquartered in New York City, wherever you are headquartered, as long as you are doing business in the state of New York, you are liable for that corporate tax. "The second is taxing the top 1% of New Yorkers. We're talking about people who make $1 million a year or more, taxing them by a flat 2% tax rate increase. I know 50 Cent is listening, he's not going to be very happy about this, he tends to not like this tax policy but I want to be very clear, this is about $20,000 a year." 50 then said in the caption: "Where did he come from whose friend is this? I'm not feeling this plan no. I will give him $258,750 and a first class one way ticket away from NY. I'm telling Trump what he said too !" via: https://hiphopdx.com/news/wu-tang-clan-throw-their-support-behind-zohran-mamdani/

NBA YoungBoy Endorses Donald Trump On New Album

Posted by hoosierheatradio — Fri, 25 Jul 2025 19:01 GMT

NBA YoungBoy has expressed his support for Donald Trump on his new album, MASA. On the album's third song, "XXX", the controversial rapper spits: "Whatever Trump doin' / Bitch, it's good for the young uns (all hail Trump)." YoungBoy has more reason than most to be supportive of Trump given the president gave him a pardon earlier this year over his gun charges. The controversial rapper had been sentenced to two years in prison for weapons possession but released in March to serve out home arrest. "Whatever Trump doin', b*tch it's good for the youngins (All Hail Trump)" - NBA YoungBoy on XXX pic.twitter.com/3vrEeymj7e - Kurrco (@Kurrco) July 25, 2025 YoungBoy still had time to serve on probation but will no longer have to abide by the conditions following the pardon from Trump. YoungBoy said in a statement after news of the pardon was made public: "I want to thank President Trump for granting me a pardon and giving me the opportunity to keep building - as a man, as a father, and as an artist." Trump and the White House are yet to comment on the reasons behind the pardon but the Republican president does have a history of acting favorably towards rap stars. Lil Wayne and Kodak Black were famously pardoned by Trump at the end of his first term as president in 2021. At the time, Kodak was in the middle of a prison stint over a weapons charge with Trump citing the rapper's "philanthropic efforts" as a reason for the pardon. Wayne was also pardoned on gun charges as he awaited sentencing. Weezy then thanked Trump for the pardon: "I want to thank President Trump for recognizing that I have so much more to give to my family, my art, and my community. I also want to thank @bradfordcohen for working so diligently to secure another chance for me. Love!" Before the pardon arrived, Wayne had publicly endorsed Trump as he was running for re-election in 2020, a race he ultimately lost to Joe Biden. Trump has found much support in the Hip Hop world with 50 Cent often seen praising the reality star turned politician while he has also drawn endorsements from Benny the Butcher and Wacka Flocka Flame. via: https://hiphopdx.com/news/nba-youngboy-endorses-donald-trump-on-new-album/

GloRilla Blasts Police Following Drugs Arrest

Posted by hoosierheatradio — Fri, 25 Jul 2025 13:01 GMT

GloRilla has called out the police after she was controversially arrested on felony drug charges. Police were originally called to her house following reports of a burglary while the rapper was in Indiannapolis for the WNBA All-Star Game. When police investigated the break-in, they found what they describe as a "significant amount of marijuana" in a bedroom closet. GloRilla was subsequently charged with possession of marijuana and possession of a controlled substance. CRAZY?? My House got Home Invaded Saturday While I was in Indianapolis performing for the WNBA all star game & instead of Focusing on finding the Suspects , they focus on some cannabis 1. So no I wasn't busted 2. My house got robbed 3. I wasn't home Long story short my... - GloRilla ?? (@GloTheofficial) July 24, 2025 Sheriff Ron Freeman said following her arrest: "The homeowner is a victim of a serious crime, and we are committed to bringing the suspects to justice. At the same time, we must continue to uphold and enforce the law in all aspects of this case." After being released on bond, GloRilla went to social media to criticize the conduct of the police: "CRAZY My House got Home Invaded Saturday While I was in Indianapolis performing for the WNBA all star game & instead of Focusing on finding the Suspects , they focus on some cannabis." She added: "1. So no I wasn't busted. 2. My house got robbed. 3. I wasn't home. Long story short my house gets home invaded and Im the only one that gets arrested. So that's tea." Glo's lawyer, Drew Findling, also blasted police conduct saying the incident was "a disturbing window into how warped law enforcement priorities have become." He added: "This is our tax dollars at work, absolutely unbelievable." GloRilla was recently forced to end a live show over violence in the crowd. At least three separate times while Glo was performing, she had to stop the show in St. Louis to address the crowd. "Stop the music again," she said at one point. "They done started the shit up again! Calm the fuck down, shit! The fuck is the problem? I think y'all came for the wrong show. Y'all supposed to be at WWE. It's not WWE, guys." Eventually, she had to end things all together. "Aight y'all, I'm sorry. We gotta end the show right here," she told the crowd. "We gotta end the show, St. Louis. It's another muthafuckin' fight. I love y'all. I don't wanna do this, but we gotta make sure it's safety first." via: https://hiphopdx.com/news/glorilla-blasts-police-following-drugs-arrest/

Fat Joe Claims He Has Lost $10 Million Over Alleged Extortion Plot

Posted by hoosierheatradio — Thu, 24 Jul 2025 23:00 GMT

Fat Joe has claimed that he has lost $10 million as part of what he calls an extortion plot which accused him of having sexual relationships with underage girls. In a lawsuit filed against former hypeman Terrance Dixon and his attorney, Tyrone Blackburn, Joe has accused the duo of plotting a smear campaign against him by making up claims of rape and sex trafficking. As a result of the allegations made against him, Joe claims that he immediately began losing out on commercial opportunities. In legal documents, the "Make it Rain" legend says he was pulled from three primetime TV appearances with his new Joe & Jada podcast also losing out on sponsorship deals totalling hundreds of thousands of dollars. He also alleges that the allegations led to national retailers halted negotiations with him about stocking his grooming brand Rewind It. The documents say the deals could have been worth $10 million with a $7 million deal with a retailer collapsing in the wake of the allegations. Joe is seeking at least $15 million in damages from Dixon and Blackburn. Joe has aggressively denied the allegations made against him. In a lengthy statement on social media, Joe wrote: "I've been tested the last few months - I've lost my big brother, my father, my mother and now i'm fighting against these disgusting lies. But please know I will not break and I will NEVER back down." "I've had individuals in my circle take my love and kindness for weakness, but how many times must we forgive them?" he continued. "I've had people steal from me, grow jealous of me, lie on me. Through it all, me and my family are the ones stuck dealing with the consequences of their bad decisions." Joe then proceeded to address his fall out with Dixon in 2019: "If you get fired for doing something wrong, just take the L and live with it. But instead, they plot on your downfall as they watch you move on with your life. They decide to go after one of the things you value the most - your reputation. They figure they can make up the most insane stories and, if they threaten you with a lawsuit, then you'll pay and they'll feel like they finally won." via: https://hiphopdx.com/news/fat-joe-claims-lost-10-million-alleged-extortion-plot/

Cardi B Sued Over Microphone Throwing Incident

Posted by hoosierheatradio — Thu, 24 Jul 2025 17:00 GMT

Cardi B has been sued over an incident in 2023 where she threw a microphone into a crowd. The rapper had been accused of assault and battery by an anonymous woman who claims she was hit with the microphone during Cardi's performance in Las Vegas a couple of years ago. Cardi is yet to comment on the lawsuit. There is video footage of Cardi launching the microphone into the crowd and she was investigated by Las Vegas police but ultimately no charges were filed. It is not known if the person filing the lawsuit is the same person who made the criminal complaint. In clips of the incident, a fan appears to launch their drink at the "Bodak Yellow" star prompting the rapper to angrily launch her microphone into the crowd at the offender, but it's unclear whether she hit the person who threw the drink on stage. Cardi B appeared to mouth "jealous-ass bitch!" as the suspected culprit was escorted off the premises. She was later handed the mic back and resumed her performance. According to TMZ, however, the drink was thrown after Cardi had asked the crowd to "splash" her "pussy" with water. Additional footage of the incident showed Cardi urging fans to throw water on her in between songs as the temperature that day reportedly hit 105 Fahrenheit. The microphone in question was later sold for $100,000 at auction with proceeds going to the Wounded Warrior Project and Friendship Circle Las Vegas. Cardi later addressed the incident during an interview on The Breakfast Club. "It was a really quick reaction," she explained. "And let me tell you - I didn't want to address it, because I thought a bitch gon' go to jail. But I'm not. "Let me tell you something: it was hot as fuck. That Vegas heat ain't no joke. That shit was hot. It was hotter than a muthafucka; so there was a part of the show where I told people, like, you know, 'Splash me.'" She continued: "But even when I told them, 'Splash me,' I was like, 'Be careful with the face. Because the face is beat, bitch.' So, fucking four songs after - nobody had splashed me, I told y'all to splash me for one little second. So four songs after, which is, I don't know, 15, 20 minutes after, this bitch threw water and ice on my face. So I just automatically reacted. via: https://hiphopdx.com/news/cardi-b-sued-over-microphone-throwing-incident/
