According to a press release shared with HipHopDX on Thursday (May 2), the partnership will establish a relief fund, which will provide aid and essential supplies to families affected by the country's most recent humanitarian crisis spurred by nearly three years of civil unrest in the island nation. According to Axios, Prime Minister Ariel Henry stepped down from his position as of April 25, in response to the increasing incidents of violence in the island nation. Henry had assumed power following the assassination of then President Jovenel Mo se in July 2021. Under his leadership, Haiti's capital of Port-au-Prince has seen escalating gang violence that came to a head on March 4, following a prison break at Haiti's National Penitentiary - which, per CNN, facilitated the escape of about 3500 of the facility's 3687 inmates. The country's leaders declared a state of emergency, which eventually led to Henry's resignation and the slow process of installing a provisional council to work towards stabilizing Port-au-Prince. At press time, however, the seaport and international airport in the capital remain closed. And while smaller airports in the cities of Cap-Haitien to the north and Les Cayes to the south are open, the import of commercial goods and delivery of humanitarian aid have been severely impacted. "My heart goes out to all the Haitians that are suffering because of this humanitarian crisis," the Terror Squad leader said, in a statement. "Many of my close friends are Haitian, so we've been watching this tragedy unfold and exploring the most efficient and effective ways to provide meaningful support. All relief items and financial contributions will go directly to Food For The Poor, so they can safely distribute the donations directly to the families in need." Fat Joe has established an Amazon Wish List of essential items that will be sent directly to Haiti, including baby formula, diapers, and wipes. In recent years, the Bronx native has established himself as quite the activist. Last month, he paid tribute to his son while continuing his efforts to raise awareness about neurodivergent children and the conditions they have to actively negotiate. On April 2, the Terror Squad boss shared a photograph of the World Autism Awareness Day logo along with a throwback photo of his 33-year-old namesake, Joseph Jr. "WORLD AUTISM AWARENESS DAY Joey this one's for you [blue hearts emojis]," he wrote in the caption.

Released in the early hours of Friday (May 3), the Sounwave and Jack Antonoff-produced track samples Green's 1972 classic, "What a Wonderful Thing Love Is." Though he kept it simple in his post, Green shared the original song to his Twitter/X page shortly after K. Dot dropped "6:16 In LA." You can view it below. Just days after releasing the explosive "Euphoria," Kendrick Lamar dropped "6:16 in LA" - a play on Drake's timestamp song series - on his Instagram page on Friday (May 3). Rapping over the aforementioned Al Green sample, K. Dot fires off another barrage of shots at the 6 God, claiming that there are Judases among his disciples. "Conspiracies about cash, dawg, that's not even the leak/ Find the jewels like Kash Doll, I just need you to think/ Are you finally ready to play 'Have you ever?,' let's see/ Have you ever thought that OVO is working for me?" he raps, responding to Drake's claim on "Push Ups" that he was being extorted by his former label boss Anthony "Top Dawg" Tiffith. "Fake bully, I hate bullies, you must be a terrible person/ Everyone inside your team is whispering that you deserve it/ Can't Toosie Slide up out of this one, it's just gonna resurface/ Every dog gotta have his day, now live in your purpose."

"It was fun until you started to put money in the streets/ They lost money 'cause they came back with no receipts/ I'm sorry that I live a boring life, I love peace/ But war ready if the world is ready to see you bleed," he spits. "The Elohim, K. T. W. know you can't sleep/ These images trouble you, know the wires in your circle should puzzle you/ If you was street smart then you woulda caught that your entourage is only to hustle you." Kendrick even takes aim at Akademiks, who is not only a vocal Drake supporter but has served as the Toronto rapper's unofficial mouthpiece throughout the feud.311715NEWS LIVERADIO RADIONEWS HIPHOPNEWSblogs/5-2024/311715-news-liveradio-radi-s.jpgLIL BABY SIGNEE GETS 17 YEARS IN PRISON FOR ACCIDENTALLY SHOOTING TODDLER IN THE HEADhttps://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/djbosslady-news-liveradio-radionews-hiphopnews-917225/features/blogs/djbosslady-news-liveradio-radionews-hiphopnews-917225/Posted by djbosslady0https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/djbosslady-news-liveradio-radionews-hiphopnews-917225/#commentsSat, 4 May 2024 01:43 GMTLil Baby signee Dirty Tay has received a sentence of 17 years in prison after a shooting in 2022 that left a toddler fighting for his life. According to court documents obtained by HipHopDX, the aspiring rapper (real name Kentavious Wright) was officially sent to prison on April 26 after he took a plea deal. The charge - originally a capital felony, making him eligible for the death penalty if convicted of the top count - was reduced to a lesser felony, meaning he only has to serve 17 years behind bars. It is unclear whether Dirty Tay will be eligible for parole before the sentence is up. Check out the docket below. Dirty Tay released two albums, Way Bigger on the Low and Too Turnt Up, on Lil Baby's 4PF label in 2020, with his songs "Beast" and "Don't Wanna Do It" racking up over a million streams each on Spotify. The shooting took place on August 3, 2022, and involved a man and his three-year-old son being shot at while leaving the Off the Hook barbershop in southwest Atlanta. According to police, the father and son were driving down Peters Street when a Kia did a U-turn and began to follow them. The car pulled up alongside the passenger side at an intersection and multiple shots were fired, resulting in the child being struck in the head. The father estimated five shots were fired before the suspect drove to a fire station, with three 9mm shell casings being found at the scene of the crime. The child was rushed to the hospital and was stabilized hours after the shooting. Dirty Tay denied his involvement in the shooting in a post to his Instagram Stories. "I'm innocent the news is not always right don't bash me because of allegations," he wrote. According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, police arrested 24-year-old Dirty Tay (real name Kentavious Wright) during a traffic stop on August 19, 2022, and booked him into the Fulton County Jail on a dozen counts.

Officers took Dirty Tay into custody alongside his girlfriend, who was found with a gun that police say belonged to the rapper. The arrest was caught on body-worn camera footage. Lil Baby has not commented on the sentencing.311714NEWS LIVERADIO RADIONEWS HIPHOPNEWSblogs/5-2024/311714-news-liveradio-radi-s.jpgRAPSODY & ERYKAH BADU DELIVER ODE TO LATE NIGHT LOVIN' ON NEW SONG '3:AM'https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/djbosslady-news-liveradio-radionews-hiphopnews-1217175/features/blogs/djbosslady-news-liveradio-radionews-hiphopnews-1217175/Posted by djbosslady0https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/djbosslady-news-liveradio-radionews-hiphopnews-1217175/#commentsSat, 4 May 2024 01:41 GMTRapsody and Erykah Badu have teamed up for "3:AM," an ode to the joys of late night love.

Rapsody announced the project in March, when she shared its release date, tracklist and cover art. "May 17th, Please Don't Cry. My fourth studio album," she wrote on Instagram. Rapsody then offered a hint at the album's concept, describing the journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance that she has embarked on since her last full-length release. "The last four years have been a beautiful, challenging, exciting, scary, journey back to self," she said. "A becoming. A reintroduction. An unveiling. An unlearning. A knowing. An unplugging.

On Wednesday (May 1), both companies announced a "multi-dimensional licensing agreement" that will once again make UMG's entire discography available on the platform following a three-month dispute. "This new chapter in our relationship with TikTok focuses on the value of music, the primacy of human artistry and the welfare of the creative community," the music corporation's chairman and chief executive officer Lucian Grainge said about the reconciliation. "We look forward to collaborating with the team at TikTok to further the interests of our artists and songwriters and drive innovation in fan engagement while advancing social music monetization." TikTok's CEO Shou Chew added: "Music is an integral part of the TikTok ecosystem and we are pleased to have found a path forward with Universal Music Group. We are committed to working together to drive value, discovery and promotion for all of UMG's amazing artists and songwriters, and deepen their ability to grow, connect and engage with the TikTok community." The joint statement also addressed the rise of artificial intelligence in music: "TikTok and UMG will work together to ensure AI development across the music industry will protect human artistry and the economics that flow to those artists and songwriters. TikTok is also committed to working with UMG to remove unauthorized AI-generated music from the platform, as well as tools to improve artist and songwriter attribution." The two companies failed to agree on a new deal relating to artist compensation and AI back in January, which in turn prevented a number of musicians from having their music on the social-media outlet. UMG alleged that the social-media platform accounts for "only about 1% of our total revenue," which they said was evidence of "how little TikTok compensates artists and songwriters, despite its massive and growing user base, rapidly rising advertising revenue and increasing reliance on music-based content". They also accused the outlet of trying to "intimidate" them by "selectively removing the music of certain of our developing artists" but keeping songs from better-known ones. Additionally, their letter said: "TikTok's tactics are obvious: use its platform power to hurt vulnerable artists and try to intimidate us into conceding to a bad deal that undervalues music and shortchanges artists and songwriters as well as their fans." TikTok replied with a furious statement of their own that read: "It is sad and disappointing that Universal Music Group has put their own greed above the interests of their artists and songwriters," the app wrote. Despite Universal's false narrative and rhetoric, the fact is they have chosen to walk away from the powerful support of a platform with well over a billion users that serves as a free promotional and discovery vehicle for their talent. CeeLo Green Sides With UMG In Split From TikTok: 'There's No Wrong Way To Do Business' RELATED NEWS CEELO GREEN SIDES WITH UMG IN SPLIT FROM TIKTOK: 'THERE'S NO WRONG WAY TO DO BUSINESS' FEBRUARY 3, 2024 "TikTok has been able to reach 'artist-first' agreements with every other label and publisher. Clearly, Universal's self-serving actions are not in the best interests of artists, songwriters and fans." Universal Music Group are one of the biggest record companies in the world, with several major imprints such as Interscope, Republic and Def Jam under its umbrella. Hence, the fallout affected numerous A-list artists, including Beyonc , Nicki Minaj, SZA, The Weeknd and Post Malone. Muni Long was particularly frustrated by the ordeal as she took to TikTok soon after to share her thoughts on the matter, suggesting that she was in therapy because it felt like her career was being sabotaged. "I mean, it's not like they are refusing to support my music until I prove that it's valuable by investing my own money, and maybe, possibly, lucking up on a hot TikTok trend or anything like that," she wrote, referring to her viral "Made for Me" challenge.311479NEWS LIVE RADIONEWSblogs/5-2024/311479-news-live-radionews-s.jpgSZA SAYS SHE'S ONLY CONSIDERED AN R&B ARTIST BECAUSE SHE'S BLACK: 'IT'S A LITTLE REDUCTIVE'https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/djbosslady-news-live-radionews-38955/features/blogs/djbosslady-news-live-radionews-38955/Posted by djbosslady0https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/djbosslady-news-live-radionews-38955/#commentsThu, 2 May 2024 20:27 GMTSZA isn't a fan of having her music categorized in a single genre as she believes it limits people from appreciating her full range as an artist. In an interview with Dazed published on Wednesday (May 1), the 34-year-old superstar discussed her image in the public eye and how she has been marketed in a way that doesn't justly reflect her material. "The only reason I'm defined as an R&B artist is because I'm Black," the New Jersey singer said. "It's almost a little reductive because it doesn't allow space to be anything else or try anything else. Justin Bieber is not considered an R&B artist; he is a pop artist who makes R&B, folk music, or whatever his heart desires. "I simply just want to be allowed the same opportunity to make whatever I want without a label, [without it being] based on the colour of my skin, or the crew that I run with, or the beats that I choose. I want "F2F" to be seen as what it is. I want "Nobody Gets Me" to be seen as what it is. I want "Kill Bill" to be seen as what it is." She added: "At the same time, it's nothing to get bent out of shape about, because it's just how people are processing you. As long as I don't process myself that way. I don't necessarily box myself into anything. I'm just trying to make music, trying to vibe out and enjoy the experience." Whereas SZA clearly has her qualms about how she has been presented in the music industry, she hasn't lost sight of how her fans continue to recognize her brilliance. Last month, she expressed her gratitude to her supporters for making her realize just how great of a song "Snooze" is, especially since she didn't initially see its charm.

The famed mixing engineer and producer took to Instagram Stories on Wednesday (May 1) to break down some of K.Dot's subliminal references for younger fans who may not register the references. He wrote: "I realize some of my young people and my students have never seen 'The Wiz.' If you came up in a Black household it was mandatory. The dance scene in Oz is incredible but it points out that pop culture is fake. The Wiz changes the colors and people just go along with it. Richard Pryor later admits that he is a fake and a phony." He added: "Teddy Pendagrass [sic] got into a car accident and had to live the rest of his life paralyzed in a wheelchair." The track, which arrived earlier this week, begins with a vocal snippet that sounds somewhat like gibberish, though when reversed, it's actually a clip from the 1978 film The Wiz. The moment in question comes from Richard Pryor's character, Herman Smith/The Wiz, who says: "Everything they say about me is true. I'm a phony." K.Dot took the internet by storm when he finally fired back at Drake on his blistering new diss song. The track finds the Compton rapper unloading on his longtime rival for several minutes in response to Drizzy's own diss records "Push Ups" and "Taylor Made Freestyle." Kendrick Lamar Fans Believe There's A Kobe Bryant Connection To 'Euphoria' Drake Diss RELATED NEWS KENDRICK LAMAR FANS BELIEVE THERE'S A KOBE BRYANT CONNECTION TO 'EUPHORIA' DRAKE DISS MAY 1, 2024 After opening with a sample of Teddy Pendergrass' "You're My Latest, My Greatest Inspiration," over which K. Dot refers to a "pathetic master manipulator" who is "paranoid," "spiraling" and "fabricating stories on the family front," the song kicks into life with a sudden beat switch. From there, Kendrick throws jab after jab - and even a few haymakers - at the 6 God, using everything from his parenting skills, alleged use of ghostwriters and rumored plastic surgery to his appearance, tough guy persona and attitude towards women as ammo. The Pulitzer Prize winner also accuses Drizzy of sending a cease and desist letter in attempt to have "Like That," his chart-topping collaboration with Future and Metro Boomin that reignited their long-simmering feud, taken down.311477NEWS LIVE RADIONEWSblogs/5-2024/311477-news-live-radionews-s.jpgCARDI B & OFFSET FUEL RECONCILIATION RUMORS WITH COURTSIDE DATE AT KNICKS GAMEhttps://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/djbosslady-news-live-radionews-778125/features/blogs/djbosslady-news-live-radionews-778125/Posted by djbosslady0https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/djbosslady-news-live-radionews-778125/#commentsThu, 2 May 2024 20:25 GMTCardi B and husband Offset have once again given off mixed signals about the nature of their relationship following a great deal of turbulence in their romance that ultimately lead to the two parting ways last year. On Tuesday (April 30), both rappers were spotted sitting courtside at Game 5 of the New York Knicks vs. Philadelphia 76s Playoffs game in Madison Square Garden. The two even seemed cheerful as the giant screens hovering over the wooden floor broadcast them to the cheering crowd. This, of course, isn't confirmation of the two reconciling, though it does point in that direction considering they have been spotted together before since their breakup in 2023. Check out the fan-recorded clip of both superstars at the basketball match below: Back in December, the "Bodak Yellow" hitmaker confirmed that she and Offset had broken up. The Bronx rap star made the bombshell revelation shortly after the Migos alum was accused of sleeping with Chrisean Rock by Blueface. The Georgia native immediately shut down the allegation and even the mother of his children didn't believe the claims, though she did admit that she perceived it "as a sign" for her to move on. "I've been single for a minute now," the 31-year-old said on social media. "I know today has been an eventful day. I don't pay mind to none of that. I don't care about none of that. I don't know if y'all been getting clues from me from my Lives, from my Stories, when I put certain music [up] or from my unfollowings. "When it comes to today's events, I don't think it's true. I don't care to find out because I've been single for a minute now. I have been afraid to - not afraid - I just don't know how to tell the world. But I feel like today has been a sign."

New look, new life, new everything [...] I've been going so hard for 2024 to go directly as I want it to. I feel like in 2017 I was single, and that's when I worked the hardest." Less than a month later, Cardi admitted she slept with Offset on New Year's Eve because she "needed some dick" that night. Furthermore, the duo were spotted at the same restaurant in Miami Beach on Valentine's Day back in February.311476NEWS LIVE RADIONEWSblogs/5-2024/311476-news-live-radionews-s.jpgPUSHA T 'AIN'T THINKING' ABOUT DRAKE BEEF, SAYS 'JOE BUDDEN PODCAST' HOSThttps://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/djbosslady-news-live-radionews-794364/features/blogs/djbosslady-news-live-radionews-794364/Posted by djbosslady0https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/djbosslady-news-live-radionews-794364/#commentsWed, 17 Apr 2024 00:01 GMTPusha T's 2018 diss track aimed at Drake is arguably one of the most brutal attacks in Hip Hop history, so he is reportedly not too invested in the Canadian superstar's ongoing beefs with Kendrick Lamar's cohort. In a clip from the Joe Budden Podcast that began circulating online on Tuesday (April 16), co-host Ice revealed that the Clipse MC doesn't plan on getting involved in the turmoil, as he already has a win over Drizzy with "The Story of Adidon." Budden began by pointing out the risks the 6 God took by mentioning K.Dot's wife on his latest track, recalling how viciously the Daytona rapper hit back at for Drake doing that to him a few years back. To that point, Budden said that Drizzy even including the word "push" in the song's title ["Push Ups (Drop & Give Me 50)"] was bold considering his past with Pusha. Ice, however, said none of those minor details really matter to the Virginia native. "I talked to Push [for] about two hours Saturday - just laughing, just laughing," he said. "He ain't thinking about this shit, bruh. He's laughing; he got his already." In tune with the above claim, the 46-year-old MC recently laughed off Drizzy's current feuds quite publicly. "I just wanted to point out that after all these years of mob talk from Drake, nobody ever laid a finger on @PUSHA_T," a person wrote on Twitter earlier this month, to which the Grammy nominee replied: "Not a pinky nail... [crying face emoji]."

The tension between the two climaxed when Push released "The Story of Adidon" a few years back, on which he revealed his adversary had a child with a former adult film star. On the track, he raps: "You are hiding a child, let that boy come home/ Deadbeat motherfucker, playin' border patrol, ooh/ Adonis is your son/ And he deserves more than an Adidas press run, that's real/ Love that baby, respect that girl/ Forget she's a porn star, let her be your world, yuugh!" Though there haven't been too many developments in the Push v. Drake beef, Future, Metro Boomin and Kendrick Lamar dropped "Like That" in late March, on which the Compton MC devotes his entire guest verse to taking shots at Drizzy and J. Cole. The beef has since escalated a great deal, with Rick Ross, The Weeknd and A$AP Rocky joining the California native's side and Cole withdrawing from the beef after releasing a diss track of his own.309008NEWS LIVE RADIONEWSblogs/4-2024/309008-news-live-radionews-s.jpgGUNNA ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM 'ONE OF WUN'https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/djbosslady-news-live-radionews-173204/features/blogs/djbosslady-news-live-radionews-173204/Posted by djbosslady0https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/djbosslady-news-live-radionews-173204/#commentsWed, 17 Apr 2024 00:01 GMTGunna is gearing up for his next big move, as he has announced his plans to drop his fifth studio album soon. On Monday (April 15), the 30-year-old revealed the cover art of his next project, One of Wun: a painting by artist Calvin Clausell Jr. of the rapper with his face covered in a blue-and-white floral fabric. While no further details about the release date have been released thus far, the YSL rapper captioned an Instagram post revealing the artwork: "ONE OF WUN | ALBUM OTW." Check it out below: Gunna has already kickstarted the rollout for the new album with with two new singles. In February, he dropped "Bittersweet," on which he seemingly extends an olive branch to his former Drip Harder collaborator Lil Baby, with whom he had been trading shots in past months. "You my dawg, I don't care if we fall out, I never could diss you," he spits early on in the song, which marked his first offering since his 2023 album A Gift & A Curse. A month later, he once again fired back at allegations of being a snitch on a new collaboration with Offset titled "Prada Dem." On the track, which hit streaming services in mid-March, the Atlanta rapper spits: "I set the trend, I'm a trendsetter/ I'm not a rat, still gettin' cheddar." Gunna has been batting off accusations of being disloyal ever since he took a plea deal in the RICO case against his and Young Thug's YSL collective back in December 2022. The "fukumean" hitmaker entered into an Alford plea, meaning he pled guilty to a single racketeering conspiracy charge while maintaining his innocence on that same charge as a form of self-preservation.

Following his plea deal, he said: "While I have agreed to always be truthful, I want to make it perfectly clear that I have NOT made any statements, have NOT been interviewed, have NOT cooperated, have NOT agreed to testify or be a witness for or against any party in the case and have absolutely NO intention of being involved in the trial process in any way." He also addressed Young Thug directly on "I Was Just Thinking" last year and rapped: "That's four walls talkin' to you, tellin' you you gone/ Only I done cri d, 'cause this feelin' for my bro (King Slime)/ And you know my mind, you done watched that n-gga grow/ I know you hear the lies, it's your lil' brother, my folk/ Yeah, I had popped out, but don't let 'em say I told."309009NEWS LIVE RADIONEWSblogs/4-2024/309009-news-live-radionews-s.jpgCARDI B & SEXYY RED TO TOP STACKED BET EXPERIENCE LINEUP THIS SUMMERhttps://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/djbosslady-news-live-radionews-194994/features/blogs/djbosslady-news-live-radionews-194994/Posted by djbosslady0https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/djbosslady-news-live-radionews-194994/#commentsTue, 16 Apr 2024 23:59 GMTCardi B and Sexyy Red have been named as part of an all-star lineup for the BET Experience, which is set to take place this summer. The network's official website made the announcement about the lineup on Monday (April 15), wherein they revealed that the BET Experience will take place from June 26 to June 28, 2024. In addition to having a full comedy lineup featuring performances from Michael Blackson and Tiffany Haddish, the two female rappers will join the likes of Davido, Gunna, The Roots, Common, Queen Latifah, and the Jungle Brothers for musical performances. Tickets are on sale now, and they can be purchased here. Cardi B and Sexyy Red seem to have a mutual respect. Back in December, the "Bodak Yellow" rapper was seen twerking in a black bodysuit to Sexyy Red's smash track, "Bow Bow Bow (F My Baby Dad)." At one point, the "Bodak Yellow" rapper looks back at the camera, smiles, and sticks her middle finger his in the air while yelling, "fuck my baby dad!" The unidentified camera person can be then heard saying, "you heard her!" They also were the victims of near-identical AI scams back in November. A tweet shared by user NateRuns on November 21 revealed that a digitized version of the St. Louis native's voice had been used to advertise "free money" - wherein the would-be Sexyy Red claims that "the government be handin' out stacks to y'all," in what appears to be a stimulus check scam. "Ummm does sexyy red know a company is using her voice to steal peoples info???" he wrote. Sexyy Red quote-tweeted the video and wrote, "My lawyer bout to have a field day." Cardi B made legal threats of her own after spotting a video which featured an AI-generated version of the "Bodak Yellow" rapper's voice saying nearly the same thing as the AI-generated version of Sexyy Red's voice.

In an episode of the 4HUNNID PODCAST that aired on Wednesday (April 10), the two-weight world champion explained why he was attracted to the fabled events, and was also asked to speak on his upcoming opponent, Ryan Garcia, rocking a t-shirt that featured a photo of Diddy and Haney posing shirtless together. He said: "Diddy had a bunch of hoes at the house, I made my way to the house...Man there's hoes everywhere, and we know that Diddy got some parties." YG's co-host Stevie again brought up the t-shirt, and the 4HUNNID CEO immediately tried to deescalate the situation, saying: "Man, that's gonna be a good fight." Haney then asked the rapper if he had been to a Diddy party, and YG confirmed that he had. "I be there with the bitches and all that," he said. Check out the clip below, which begins at about the 31:30 mark. YG and his 4HUNNID label have been making moves in the music space as well. Earlier this month, the label announced a new venture with BMG, effectively ending his previous deal with Epic Records. In a statement to Billboard, the Cali native revealed that the deal was "officially official." "BMG is making big waves in the industry right now," YG said to the outlet. "This partnership will take my music to new heights. The BMG team understands the vision for my music and business. Excited for what's to come and the future of my brand."

YG's previous partnership with Epic Records to exclusively release, distribute, and market new music from the Los Angeles-based independent record label was launched in 2020. "Me and my team have been doing innovative, legendary stuff for years-helping keep the West Coast alive," YG said via press release at the time. "Now, Epic comes through at the best possible time with a platform for our expansion. I'm proud of this opportunity and will make the most of it."308327NEWS LIVE RADIONEWSblogs/4-2024/308327-news-live-radionews-s.jpgPOLO G ARRAIGNED ON GUN POSSESSION CHARGES AFTER LEAVING WEAPON IN NYC HOTEL ROOMhttps://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/djbosslady-news-live-radionews-331184/features/blogs/djbosslady-news-live-radionews-331184/Posted by djbosslady0https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/djbosslady-news-live-radionews-331184/#commentsFri, 12 Apr 2024 00:24 GMTPolo G (real name Taurus Bartlett) has landed in trouble again after being caught in possession of an automatic weapon while he was visiting the East Coast. On Thursday (April 11), New York Post reported that the 25-year-old rapper has been arraigned on charges of criminal possession of a firearm as well as criminal possession of a weapon in the Manhattan Criminal Court. The issue stems from a stay at the Dominick Hotel in the Lower Manhattan neighborhood of SoHo, during which a maid found a loaded Glock with 10 bullets in his room. Authorities were subsequently alerted about the piece. "This man is 100% serious in terms of his work, in terms of his professionalism," the Chicago native's attorney said while making a case for him being spared from bail. "He has absolutely no incentive to flee because he has a career he's built." Contrarily, prosecutors argued that the "Finer Things" hitmaker is at flight risk given his past criminal record, which includes arrests for kidnapping, assault and robbery. Judge Kevin McGrath ultimately settled on a cash bail for $25,000 and set a court date for June 4. Last year, Polo G was arrested for gun possession following a raid on his Southern California home, for which he was booked in late August along with his brother Trench Baby, who was hit with a robbery charge.

The pair apparently had a previous working relationship. As for Polo, he was booked for illegal possession of the short-barreled rifle that was allegedly used in the aforementioned robbery. Additionally, cops said numerous firearms were recovered from his property during the raid. Images of the recovered firearms recovered leaked online soon after, showing a small arsenal of rifles, machine guns, pistols and a shotgun, among other items.308328NEWS LIVE RADIONEWSblogs/4-2024/308328-news-live-radionews-s.jpgBABY TATE ADDRESSES NICKI MINAJ & LIL KIM COMPARISONS IN 'ON THE RADAR' FREESTYLEhttps://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/djbosslady-news-live-radionews-407494/features/blogs/djbosslady-news-live-radionews-407494/Posted by djbosslady0https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/djbosslady-news-live-radionews-407494/#commentsFri, 12 Apr 2024 00:23 GMTBaby Tate is addressing the critics who have accused her of copying the likes of Nicki Minaj and Lil Kim in the past. In her new freestyle with On The Radar, published on Wednesday (April 10), Tate clarified that she has been inspired by the two legendary rappers, among others - as she was born in 1996. "Hold on, bitch I'm blown/I just got up on the internet, they said I'm a clone/Now I was born in 1996/So of course it's some shit I done picked up on/They say I blink like Nicki, dress like Kimmy/Get real freaky on the track like Missy/Cocky like RiRi, rough like E-V-E/But I don't understand why n-ggas won't let me be me!" Later on the track, she pays homage to many other women who came before her, including her mom, Dionne Farris of the group Arrested Development. She also calls attention to the fact she's only being compared to other Black women in rap and not other artists like white women or Black men. "It's none of my concern anymore/'Cause I waited patiently for my turn at the door/So I'ma keep it open for the ones that come after/While I give thanks to the ones from before/Once again that's Nicki, Kim, Missy, RiRi, Eve, Dionne, Lauryn, Left Eye, Kelis/Unfortunately 'cause I'm Black that's all they see! "But if I wasn't, what would comparisons be?/Huh, Madonna, Gaga, Gwen Stefani/And since I'm a woman they don't see Kendrick in me/They don't hear the Ye and they don't see the P/Like if you finna do it, do it equally!"

According to an exclusive report published by RadarOnline on Tuesday (April 9), Charles Polevich has asked for the court's permission to depose the rapper as part of the wrongful death lawsuit that Minaj's mother filed against him as he was driving the car that killed Robert Maraj. He wants the"Super Bass" hitmaker to take the stand in relation to claims she has made about her childhood and her father being abusive to her mother. In a newly filed motion, Polevich's lawyer said Carol Maraj was recently deposed over the course of two days, most recently on December 15, 2023. About it, he said: "The deposition involves questions wherein the issue of domestic abuse is discussed. [Carol] acknowledges that statements related to the topic of domestic abuse were made...but [Carol] does not offer meaningful responses regarding the veracity of the statements made." Nicki's father was killed in a hit-and-run a little over three years ago, following which Polevich was sentenced to one year in prison by Judge Howard Sturiun in Nassau County, New York. He previously pled guilty to a pair of felonies - leaving the scene of an incident without reporting it and tampering with physical evidence - and had his license suspended for six months. Additionally,he had to pay a $5,000 fine. The 72-year-old was initially facing a maximum of seven years in jail, but the judge stood by his promise of sentencing him to one year behind bars. Maraj was struck by a vehicle on Long Island on February 12, 2021 while walking northbound between Roslyn Road and Raff Avenue. He was rushed to a hospital in critical condition but succumbed to his injuries. He was 64 years old at the time of his passing. The driver fled the scene and eventually surrendered to Nassau County Police three days later after law enforcement found the car in question with an altered appearance.

Even though the "HISS" rapper is embracing her body with full confidence, she recently had to go on the defensive regarding her nose.

Cole's controversial apology to Kendrick Lamar has drawn strong responses from around the Hip Hop community - and a few in particular have irked the rapper's Dreamville camp. In an outspoken post on X on Tuesday (April 9), longtime signee Omen took issue with artists who appeared on the label's chart-topping compilation album Revenge of the Dreamers III criticizing Cole's olive branch. "Watching all the opportunist that benefited from the ROTD3 stimulus package switch up is really entertaining. Keep that energy in person," the rapper/producer wrote. That sentiment was echoed by Bas, who shared a screenshot of a text message that read: "I've been told y'all n-ggas we the only family we got... but n-ggas always want to let the kids from across the street swim in our pool until they take a shit in it." He captioned the image: "the pool's closed," seemingly indicating that Dreamville would be cutting ties with those who have been critical of its founder and flagship star. While neither Omen nor Bas mentioned specific names, a handful of artists who contributed to ROTD 3 have been vocal in their disappointment over J. Cole's apology. Guapdad 4000, who appeared on five tracks across the standard and deluxe versions, wrote on X: "Well that just bummed me out , it's just rap man." He added: "Cole def just killed my spirit... but it's his happiness not mine , it's selfish to think other wise but I'm just a fan at the end of the day. If rap is not competitive I don't want to do it anymore." Reason, who is signed to Kendrick Lamar's former label Top Dawg Entertainment and has worked with several Dreamville artists, also expressed his bemusement: "Idk man, I just....idk." Meanwhile, fellow West Coast rapper Buddy made light of Cole's U-turn by retweeting a video of him Crip Walking while celebrating a Mortal Kombat-style victory which was captioned: "Kendrick Lamar in Compton after hearing Jcole Apoligized [sic] to him." Guapdad later addressed the controversy and denied Omen and Bas' tweets were aimed at him. "Gang not talking about me , y'all stop saying that," he wrote. "Guapdad can always say whatever he wants but n-ggas know my loyalty." J. Cole's apology came during his headlining set at Dreamville Festival this past weekend and was in response to him dissing Kendrick Lamar on "7 Minute Drill" - a rebuttal to K. Dot's own shots at him and Drake on Future and Metro Boomin's "Like That." "I'm so proud of [Might Delete Later], except for one part. It's one part of that shit that makes me feel like, man that's the lamest shit I did in my fuckin' life, right? And I know this is not what a lot of people want to hear," he admitted. 50 Cent Sends J. Cole Urgent Message After Kendrick Lamar Apology RELATED NEWS 50 CENT SENDS J.

According to court documents obtained by HipHopDX, Raven Production Management Group, LLC filed the complaint in the Southern District of New York as of Tuesday (April 9). The plaintiff is claiming that Phantom Labs and Matthew Lupton reached out to him and commissioned a sculpture for an event that the businessman was putting on back in August 2023. The artist further claimed that Diddy signed the contract and even promised him funds the very next day to begin the project, after which he incurred an additional $20,000 in costs for the project. When the assignment was paused due to the event being postponed, he was never paid for his work despite incurring more than $97,000 in costs. Hence, the filing proposes "damages to Raven in an amount to be determined at trial, but no less than $200,000 for breach of contract, no less than $96,732.00 for fraudulent inducement, and additional damages for tortious interference with contract and business relations, deceptive trade practices, unjust enrichment, and quantum meruit." Diddy's son Justin Combs recently hired Jeffrey Lichtman (once an attorney for El Chapo and mob scion John Gotti Jr.) to defend him following the Homeland Security raids on his father's homes in Miami and Los Angeles. Earlier this week, he called out the federal agency for allegedly "using the press" to their advantage. On a new episode of the Beyond the Legal Limit podcast, Lichtman claimed that the feds abused their authority when they raided Diddy's mansions by allowing members of the media to be present as they were executing the warrants. 50 Cent Adds Fuel To Rumor About Replacing Diddy As Face Of C roc RELATED NEWS 50 CENT ADDS FUEL TO RUMOR ABOUT REPLACING DIDDY AS FACE OF C ROC APRIL 3, 2024 "They were all there, ready to record it," he claimed. "They were all there, told about it and breathlessly reporting what anonymous agents of law enforcement are telling them about what they're looking for, evidence of sex trafficking. "That's bad because that's just an evil thing for our government or law enforcement to do. By using the press to leak what they're looking for, they're just dirtying a potentially future jury pool." However, he did not address the sexual lawsuit brought against Justin's brother, Christian "King" Combs, which followed soon after the aforementioned raids. According to court documents obtained by NBC News, he suit was in the Los Angeles Superior Court in early April and also lists Diddy as a defendant. Plaintiff Grace O'Marcaigh is alleging that the Hip Hop scion raped her in 2022, just a few days before his father threw his annual New Year's Eve yacht party. What's more, she is also claiming that the the gathering in question was advertised as a "wholesome family event" and that it turned into a "hedonistic environment" before she knew it. "Like father, like son," attorney Tyrone Blackburn said , who is representing both O'Marcaigh and producer Lil Rod, who filed a similar suit against Diddy back in February. "It gives us no joy or pleasure in filing this suit against Christian Combs who has clearly adopted his father's pattern and practice of depravity."308136NEWS LIVE RADIONEWSblogs/4-2024/308136-news-live-radionews-s.jpgDABABY PROVING EVASIVE IN LAWSUIT OVER BOWLING-ALLEY BEATDOWN OF EX DANILEIGH'S BROTHERhttps://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/djbosslady-news-live-radionews-771574/features/blogs/djbosslady-news-live-radionews-771574/Posted by djbosslady0https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/djbosslady-news-live-radionews-771574/#commentsWed, 10 Apr 2024 22:46 GMTDaBaby has been dodging the service of process in a lawsuit filed by DaniLeigh's brother, who is petitioning the court to instead allow him to pursue what's known as substituted service. According to court documents obtained by Radar Online, Brandon Bills (real name Brandon Curiel) hired a public investigator to track down the 32-year-old, though his efforts were unsuccessful. He further claims that process servers have tried to furnish the papers to the rapper in his home state of North Carolina as well as his California, where he now lives - in both cases, they were unable to find him. For that reason, he is now proposing that the court allow him to publish the lawsuit in the local paper instead as he was unable to serve the MC personally. As of now, a judge has not yet ruled on the motion. Back in January, a Los Angeles bowling alley named Corbin Bowl filed an answer denying any wrongdoing alleged by Bills, who is currently suing the venue and the "Suge" rapper for damages stemming from a fight that took place there back in February 2022. He is seeking an unspecified amount in damages based on the allegation that staff members present during the altercation had a duty to protect him from the assault, though the alley maintains that they were under no legal obligation to do so. DaniLeigh Avoids Jail Time Over DUI Hit & Run But Lawsuit Still Looms RELATED NEWS DANILEIGH AVOIDS JAIL TIME OVER DUI HIT & RUN BUT LAWSUIT STILL LOOMS FEBRUARY 1, 2024 If a judge rules in Corbin Bowl's favor, the legal responsibility for the lawsuit will fall squarely on DaBaby's shoulders. The incident in question involved the "Rockstar" hitmaker and his entourage getting violent with Bills, who was left bloodied and slipping down the lanes. In footage of the ordeal, the rapper can be seen throwing the first punch at the defendant. After Bills collapses to the ground, Baby's crew surrounded him and began throwing punches, leaving him with several noticeable cuts and bruises on his face. Police later investigated the incident and looked to charge the rapper with assault with a deadly weapon, though he maintained that his actions were the result of self-defense. When Bills refused to cooperate with authorities in the criminal case, the investigation came to a halt. He did, however, file a civil lawsuit against DaBaby, demanding "unspecified damages" for "physical and psychological damage" as well as coverage for his medical expenses. The altercation occurred months after Bills expressed that he was upset at the way things went down when DaBaby and DaniLeigh broke up. The tension between the former couple culminated in a heated argument soon following their split, due to which she was charged with assaulting the rapper back in 2021.308135NEWS LIVE RADIONEWSblogs/4-2024/308135-news-live-radionews-s.jpgNas has returned to the Queensbridge Projects where he grew up as Illmatic is set to celebrate itshttps://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/djbosslady-news-live-radionews-172524/features/blogs/djbosslady-news-live-radionews-172524/Posted by djbosslady0https://www.blackvibes.com/features/blogs/djbosslady-news-live-radionews-172524/#commentsMon, 8 Apr 2024 14:47 GMTDr. Dre has joked about Stevie Wonder being blind after meeting the music legend. Making a rare post on Instagram, Dre posted a picture of the two of them together in what looks like a restaurant or hotel. He captioned the post: "Just bumped into my hero and every musician's favorite, Stevie Wonder... Stevie said 'It's good seeing you.'" The joke went over well on social media, with Flavor Flav commenting: "[crying face emojis] he always say the same to me, that's my guy." 2 Chainz also wrote: "Haha man hell naw Killa." Dre's longtime collaborator Marsha Ambrosius also recently joked about Wonder not really being blind. Appearing on Tank and J. Valentine's R&B Money podcast, the singer said: "Stevie Wonder, the stories he can tell with his tone, before lyrics even come into it and claims he can't see. We know that you can see, it's fine." Dr. Dre previously revealed that he turned down the chance to work with the "Superstition" legend despite the fact he idolizes the musician. Speaking to Kevin Hart for his Hart to Heart podcast, Dre said their paths crossed when he needed a sample cleared by Wonder.

DRE & SNOOP DOGG NOT ON THE SAME PAGE AS FAR AS 'THE CHRONIC' INSPIRATION GOES MARCH 20, 2024 "So I'm workin' on an album with Marsha Ambrosius. She's amazing," he said. "We did a song using Stevie Wonder's music, and he had to clear it. And he called me up, 'Yo, Dre' - for some reason, Stevie Wonder calls you like super early in the morning, like six, seven in the morning or something. Like, just 'cause you can't see the time." He continued: "True story. [He was like], 'I don't like the lyrics. I don't like the lyrics, Dre.' Okay, we went in and changed the lyrics. What the fuck is the difference? Like 5 a.m. or 5 p.m. for Stevie? So this shit happened." Dre added he had another phone call with Wonder after they made the changes and the prospect of them working together came up. "He called me back like, 'Okay, Dre. Now I like the lyrics. Why don't we work together and just write a song together?'" he remembered. "[I was like], 'Yeah. Alright. Alright, Stevie,' and yeah... I didn't show up. "What the fuck am I gonna do in the studio with Stevie Wonder? Huh? Touch the drums? No. Touch the keyboard? No. What the fuck? Nah. I went that way."307681NEWS LIVE RADIONEWSblogs/4-2024/307681-news-live-radionews-s.jpg
