Fugitive Caught For Killing Man With Single Punch At $uicideboy$ Concert

Posted by urbanradiocollective — Sat, 15 Nov 2025 16:03 GMT

A guy who punched a concert attendee at a $uicideboy$ concert has been nabbed in Alabama after months on the run, accused of delivering a deadly punch that killed a man outside of the Hip-Hop concert in Washington state. Devin McCurdy was taken into custody by U.S. Marshals in Lawrence County and now faces second-degree murder charges related to the August 27 death of Brandon Godsey at the White River Amphitheatre. The incident occurred just after the $uicideboy$ performed in Auburn, where thousands had gathered to see the New Orleans rap duo. According to court documents, Godsey was waiting for two women near the venue's restroom area when a verbal exchange escalated. Witnesses told investigators that a woman walking ahead made a "rude comment," prompting Godsey to respond. Watch Video on YouTube Another man criticized his tone. That's when McCurdy allegedly turned around and struck Godsey in the face. Video footage also captured him leaning over Godsey and yelling, "sleep tight (expletive)," according to charging papers. The blow knocked Godsey backward, causing his head to hit the pavement. He was found unconscious around 11 p.m. by King County sheriff's deputies working security. Believing it might be an overdose, a sergeant administered naloxone and performed CPR before medics rushed him to Harborview Medical Center. He died around 1:30 a.m. the next morning. An autopsy revealed skull fractures and severe brain bleeding. Surveillance footage and digital ticket records helped authorities identify McCurdy as the suspect. A relative who attended the concert with him later told investigators he had urged McCurdy to turn himself in. Instead, he fled the state. McCurdy remains in custody at Lawrence County Jail and is scheduled for arraignment on Monday. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/fugitive-caught-for-killing-man-with-single-punch-at-uicideboy-concert/

EXCLUSIVE: "Godmother" Escalates War With Jay-Z As Paternity Case Drags On

Posted by urbanradiocollective — Sat, 15 Nov 2025 15:02 GMT

Jay-Z is once again entangled in a legal battle as Lillie Coley, known as the self-proclaimed "godmother" of Rymir Satterthwaite, filed a motion to revive her dismissed lawsuit in California federal court, claiming the rapper dodged accountability in a long-running paternity dispute. Coley submitted the new request on November 14, aiming to overturn a judge's earlier ruling that shut her case down with prejudice-typically a final decision that bars any future filings on the matter. The dispute stems from Coley's decade-long effort to support Satterthwaite's claim that Jay-Z is his biological father. Coley alleges the Hip-Hop mogul refused to take a DNA test and manipulated the legal system in New Jersey to block the case from moving forward. The latest legal twist centers on California's Anti-SLAPP statute, a law designed to prevent lawsuits that intimidate people from exercising free speech or participating in legal proceedings. Coley argues her case was wrongly dismissed under this law, stating it was misapplied based on filings from a New Jersey case she believes was never valid in the first place. View this post on Instagram According to court documents, Coley insists the New Jersey courts repeatedly acknowledged they lacked subject-matter jurisdiction, meaning they had no legal authority to rule on the paternity issue. "A court without jurisdiction cannot issue valid orders," she argues in her motion, claiming the entire New Jersey process was legally meaningless. Coley originally sued in California, accusing Jay-Z of filing false documents that damaged her and silenced her ability to speak publicly about the case. Jay-Z's legal team responded by invoking the Anti-SLAPP statute and asked the court to strike her complaint. The judge agreed in part, ruling that any filings tied to the New Jersey case were protected under the Anti-SLAPP law and that Coley's revised complaint failed to address the original legal flaws. That led to the dismissal with prejudice earlier this month. Now, Coley is pushing to reopen the case, arguing the judge relied on court records from a jurisdiction that never had the power to decide the matter in the first place. She wants the court to reinstate her amended complaint and let the case proceed. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/exclusive-godmother-escalates-war-with-jay-z-as-paternity-case-drags-on/

Skepta Announces "Fork & Knife" Album For Early 2026-Rejects Hip-Hop Gatekeepers

Posted by urbanradiocollective — Sat, 15 Nov 2025 14:00 GMT

Skepta dismissed outdated power structures in Hip-Hop and revealed his next album, Fork & Knife, will drop in early 2026 during a wide-ranging interview for British GQ's Men of the Year issue. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Big Smoke (@skepta) The North London rapper didn't hold back when asked about the current state of the music industry, especially those still clinging to the idea of gatekeeping. "Old people always gonna be old people, innit?" Skepta said. "Old people are still in their heads of like, 'You ain't done this,' but they don't have to. There ain't no gatekeepers. Whoever thinks they're a gatekeeper needs to look again at that gate." Known for his sharp lyricism and unfiltered perspective, the 43-year-old Konnichiwa artist has been a key figure in the evolution of British Hip-Hop. But these days, Skepta is more focused on legacy and longevity than proving himself to industry veterans. Skepta Reveals Inspiration Behind Album Title His upcoming sixth studio album, Fork & Knife, will be his first solo project since 2019's Ignorance Is Bliss. The title, he said, was inspired by his mother's words growing up. "'In this life, we have to work hard, so one day, we'll eat with fork and knife,'" Skepta explained. That phrase, rooted in immigrant perseverance, shaped the album's theme. Originally teased in 2024 under the reversed title Knife and Fork, the project explores dual identities and cultural contrast. "I wanted the album to be about the immigrant mindset," he explained. "Being in my house, and it smelling this way and looking this way and feeling this way and sounding this way, and then I leave my house and [through] the front door is like going to Narnia; you're in the U.K." View this post on Instagram A post shared by British GQ (@britishgq) Beyond music, Skepta has been steering his fashion label MAINS into new territory, transforming it into a fully independent design studio. However, the most significant shift in his life may be fatherhood, which has reshaped his view of success and purpose. "I don't want my son to be [anything] like me," he said. "I want my son to be a regular, nice boy. Like, that's what we're doing this for." With Fork & Knife slated for release in the first few months of 2026, Skepta's next chapter looks to blend personal growth with cultural storytelling - all on his own terms. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/skepta-new-album-fork-knife-rejects-hip-hop-gatekeepers/

'Forgot I was in Baton Rouge': Louisiana man parks at Walmart, returns to find missing parts

Posted by urbanradiocollective — Sat, 15 Nov 2025 14:00 GMT

A Louisiana Man is fed up after returning to his vehicle parked at a Baton Rouge parking lot and finding that it's missing its hubcaps. A hubcap is a decorative cover for the center of a car's tire. It covers the hub, the part that connects a tire to a vehicle. Hub caps don't just look nice; they help prevent weather damage to tires. It seems like the driver, TikTok user @mixedlouisianamutt is going to need to get new hubcaps. He parked his car in the Walmart parking lot before a shopping trip, and returned to find his car in a different condition. Louisiana Walmart Shopper Returns to Find Car Missing Hubcaps "I parked my car at Walmart and thought I was safe, but I forgot I live in Baton Rouge, so someone took the hubcaps off my car," the text over @mixedlouisianamutt's video reads. Clearly, @mixedlouisianamutt wasn't prepared for this setback. He shakes his head in defeat as the video cuts out. Why Do People Steal Hubcaps Anyway? The history of hubcap theft goes back to the 1970s, when there was an extensive resale market for them. Fortunately, there are precautions that car owners can take to prevent theft, in particular wheel locks. Memphis has a long history of tire and hubcap theft. Back in 2012, Memphis authorities said they were looking to break up a tire and hubcap theft ring responsible for stealing hundreds of tires and hubcaps in the area. In 2023, a group stole more than $30,000 in tires and other merchandise from an auto parts store in the northwest part of the city. It was connected to a string of burglaries along the same road. Viewers React to Man's Baton Rouge Horror Story In the comments section, viewers from Baton Rouge weighed in with their own security concerns. "I got locked in the mall in Monroe because they are in such a hurry to lock it down before dark due to crime," says one comment. "They be trippin' in Baton Rouge," says another. Other viewers simply shared their sympathy. "I'm sorry that happened to you," one person said. AllHipHop has reached out to @mixedlouisiana for comment and Walmart via email. @mixedlouisianamutt #Louisiana #batonrouge #fyp ? original sound - fanpage

Drake Drops Agent Who Also Reps Kendrick Lamar In Bitter Business Divorce

Posted by urbanradiocollective — Sat, 15 Nov 2025 13:00 GMT

Drake has severed professional ties with his longtime booking agent in a move that appears directly connected to his explosive feud with Kendrick Lamar. The Toronto superstar quietly ended his working relationship with Brent Smith at Wasserman Music earlier this year. The split comes after more than a decade of collaboration between the two, dating back to their time at WME before Smith transitioned to Wasserman Music in 2020. According to Billboard, the separation stems largely from fallout over last year's bitter rap battle with Kendrick Lamar, particularly following the massive success of Lamar's diss track "Not Like Us," which dominated the Billboard Hot 100. The Drake-Kendrick rivalry dates back over a decade but reached its peak intensity in 2024. Watch Video on YouTube The conflict began simmering again when Lamar appeared on Future and Metro Boomin's "Like That" in March of that year, taking subtle shots at Drake and J. Cole. Drake responded with "Push Ups" in April, directly targeting Lamar with aggressive bars. Lamar then unleashed a devastating one-two punch with "Euphoria" and "6:16 in LA" before their conflict escalated dramatically when Lamar released "Not Like Us." Drake attempted to counter with tracks like "Family Matters" and "The Heart Part 6," but failed to match the cultural momentum Lamar had generated. The Toronto artist's responses were widely viewed as defensive rather than offensive, marking a rare public defeat for someone accustomed to dominating rap feuds. "Not Like Us" delivered devastating accusations against Drake, which resulted in litigation against Universal Music Group over the track's lyrics, claiming they contained false and defamatory statements. However, a federal judge dismissed the lawsuit last month and Drake's attorneys have since filed an appeal. The Canadian rapper will now be represented by Creative Artists Agency, as Drake reportedly prepares for a major 2026 tour through his exclusive global partnership with Live Nation.

'You definitely have to approve first': New York woman takes her car to Nissan for brakes. Then she'

Posted by urbanradiocollective — Sat, 15 Nov 2025 11:00 GMT

One New York-based woman is calling out a Nissan dealership after she was charged for repairs to her vehicle that she says she did not authorize. On Oct. 22, Vanessa Paulino (@_vanessa2027) posted a TikTok expressing her outrage after she said she brought her car to Nissan to change the rear brake pads, and they changed the rotors without her authorization. "I am livid at this point," said Paulino. "How did they take it upon themselves to perform another service without consulting with me first?" Did Nissan Charge This Woman for Repairs She Didn't Approve? "So is this what they do with their customers?" she asked. "They go ahead and take it upon themselves to perform extra services and then hit you with the bill without even consulting with you? Because that would be called a scam." She goes on to explain that her frustrations were dismissed when she brought her problems to an employee. She claims that the sales associate stated the brakes required maintenance, which is why they were repaired without her consultation. "Well, that does not make it OK," said Paulino. "It is shameful how your service department is scamming your customers!" she wrote in the caption. Viewers Are Outraged About Unauthorized Repairs Viewers overwhelmingly expressed agreement with Paulino that she shouldn't be charged for these repairs. "That's weird girl!" said one commenter. "Talk to the manager and demand half price!" "You definitely have to approve first," wrote another user. This Isn't An Unprecedented Situation Paulino's circumstance is not unprecedented, as this exact issue is addressed federally and in Paulino's home state of New York. While there are nuances state to state, it is generally required that a customer's approval is granted before repairs are made to a vehicle. The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles, which regulates auto-repair facilities in the state, clearly states that "a shop may not perform any services unless you give your permission." The law further states that customers have the right to dispute or refuse payment for unauthorized services. It states that dealers and franchise service centers are bound by the same rules as independent mechanics. While specific laws and consequences may vary from state to state, the issue is also addressed on a national level through the Federal Trade Commission, which strongly encourages authorization to be given before repairs are made. What Can Customers Do About Unauthorized Car Repairs? What consumers can do to resolve an unauthorized charge varies widely from state to state. In New York, officials recommend consumers first speak with the service manager before escalating the issue to the dealership's corporate office. If that doesn't work, the consumer can file a formal complaint with the New York State DMV's vehicle safety division. If the state finds the consumer suffered "financial loss," it may force the shop to pay restitution. Based on those guidelines, it seems like Paulino can challenge the charge. Of course, she would have to provide documents that help solidify her claim that she did not authorize the repairs. All Hip Hop reached out for a statement from Paulino via TikTok direct messages and Nissan via email. @_vanessa2027 @nissan It is shameful how your service department is scamming your customers!

Offset Names Pharrell Williams & Gunna As Rap Style Kings

Posted by urbanradiocollective — Sat, 15 Nov 2025 04:00 GMT

Offset landed in Los Angeles without a suit but with no shortage of swagger as he confidently named himself one of Hip-Hop's top fashion icons while preparing for GQ's 2025 Big Men of the Year Party. During a TMZ Hip Hop interview on Thursday (November 13) at LAX, the former Migos rapper didn't hesitate when asked who he believes are the genre's most stylish artists. He named himself best dressed before pausing to consider the rest of his list. After a moment, he added Pharrell Williams and Gunna to his fashion hall of fame. Just ahead of the high-profile GQ event, Offset released a new track titled "Fashion Icon." The Atlanta native was en route to one of the year's most exclusive fashion gatherings but admitted he arrived without a look for the night. "I'm about to go figure it out, though," he said. "I'm a go look see what's out there. I should be able to find some rich s###." View this post on Instagram A post shared by ClaressaTheGWOATShields (@claressashields) Pharrell, who Offset named second, has long been a dominant force in fashion. As the men's creative director for Louis Vuitton, he's been reshaping luxury menswear and was recently honored as GQ's 2024 Designer of the Year. Gunna, who took the third spot on Offset's list, has become a style reference point in his own right. His fashion sense has drawn admiration from across the entertainment world, including Rihanna, who once dressed as him for Halloween. Offset's fashion flex comes on the heels of his Halloween 2025 surprise mixtape drop, Haunted By Fame. View this post on Instagram A post shared by OFFSET (@offsetyrn) The project, which he revealed was released to fulfill his record label obligations, failed to make a dent on the Billboard 200, moving fewer than 8,000 units in its first week, according to Billboard. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/offset-pharrell-williams-gunna-hip-hops-style-kings/

Namewee Confesses To Witnessing Taiwanese Influencer's Final Moments

Posted by urbanradiocollective — Sat, 15 Nov 2025 03:00 GMT

Namewee emerged from a week-long detention Thursday with his first public statement regarding the death of Taiwanese influencer Iris Hsieh, telling reporters he witnessed her final moments during what authorities are investigating as a murder case. The Malaysian rapper, whose real name is Wee Meng Chee, walked out of Dang Wangi police headquarters in Kuala Lumpur at approximately 3:50 P.M. after being granted police bail until November 26. Wearing his signature beanie and casual attire, Namewee boarded a waiting SUV without initially addressing media questions. According to reports, the 41-year-old artist later revealed the traumatic details of October 22, when Iris Hsieh was discovered dead in a hotel bathtub at Jalan Conlay. "I saw her die before my eyes," Namewee stated, marking his first detailed account of the incident that has captivated both Malaysian and Taiwanese media. Kuala Lumpur police chief Fadil Marsus confirmed the rapper's release pending the completion of post-mortem results. "The investigation papers will be referred again to the Kuala Lumpur attorney-general's chambers once the post-mortem report has been obtained," Marsus announced in an official statement. Malaysia's Attorney-General Dusuki Mokhtar had signaled the release on Wednesday, citing insufficient evidence connecting Namewee to Hsieh's death. Watch Video on YouTube "So far, there is no evidence that shows the suspect was involved in causing the influencer's death," Dusuki told local media outlets. "However, if there are any new findings, the AGC will take appropriate action." The case took a dramatic turn on November 4 when authorities reclassified Hsieh's death from sudden death to murder. Namewee voluntarily surrendered to police on November 5, continuing his pattern of cooperation with law enforcement that dates back to previous controversies throughout his career. Hsieh, known to her 545,000 Instagram followers as the "nurse goddess" for her medical background and striking appearance, was reportedly collaborating with Namewee on a video project at the time of her death. Malaysian police have described their relationship as "special," though specific details remain under investigation. The controversial rapper has built a career challenging authority through his music, addressing topics ranging from government corruption to social inequality across Southeast Asia. His willingness to court controversy has resulted in multiple run-ins with authorities over the years, though he has consistently presented himself for questioning when requested. Watch Video on YouTube Before the murder investigation, Namewee faced separate drug-related charges filed on October 24, for which he had been released on bail. The timing of these legal issues has intensified scrutiny of the artist's activities leading up to Hsieh's death. Hsieh maintained a significant social media presence with 349,000 Facebook followers in addition to her Instagram audience. The Taichung native frequently posted content that pushed boundaries, building a devoted fanbase across Taiwan and mainland China. "I will fully cooperate with the police investigation to give an explanation to the public and the deceased's family," he wrote. "I will not run away, in the past when I was wanted, I voluntarily reported myself each time and never fled." .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/namewee-confesses-to-witnessing-taiwanese-influencers-final-moments/

Rory Faces Heavy Backlash Over Alleged "Black Women Are "Ugly" & "Roaches"

Posted by urbanradiocollective — Sat, 15 Nov 2025 02:52 GMT

Rory, one half of The Rory & Mal Podcast, is in the middle of a full-blown firestorm after old tweets... real and allegedly fake...resurfaced. It seems like he once made disparaging remarks about Black women. The controversy, which erupted after the crew's comments about Kendrick Lamar's Grammy chances, has now shifted focus entirely to accusations of racism and colorism. It all began when fans dug into Rory's old social media activity following a debate on whether Clipse or GNX deserved "Album of the Year" at the looming Grammys. What started as music talk quickly spiraled into a "trial" on Twitter (X), with users posting screenshots that appeared to show Rory calling Black women "ugly" and "roaches." Oh...you know it was on. Rory joined a live Twitter Space with Kendrick Lamar fans to defend himself and that's when things truly exploded. "I never called Black women ugly. I never called them roaches," Rory insisted. "There was a fake retweet that said, 'I think Black women are ugly,' and another that got spliced together to make it look like I said it. That's not me." But the internet wasn't convinced. The screenshots spread. And then he tried to be sarcastic about it. "Yeah, no, I hate Black women. I think all Black women are ugly," in a truly patronizing way. "I don't know if you can really troll your way out of this one," a dude said, checking him sternly. Many accused Rory of gaslighting and playing victim. This is nasty work. Mal tried, but things only got worse. Demaris, a Black woman on the podcast, was already in the hot seat for saying she "hated Kendrick Lamar's voice." She bounced from Twitter and did not step in. Rory later apologized and clarified. He even said some of the tweets were fake. "That video was me mocking how ridiculous the accusations were. I was being sarcastic, but I get that it came off bad," he said. "Some of those tweets were made up. I'm not apologizing for something I didn't say." Sounds like people are gunning for their sponsors now. I don't know how I feel, but I think people deserve some honest commentary, not trolling, half-hearted apologies and sarcasm. But that's me. Rory breaks his silence on how he conducted himself during the Raqi Thunda Twitter Spaces after being called a racist when Kendrick Lamar fans resurfaced old tweets that painted him as a racist . pic.twitter.com/Ongd36rWqo — joebuddenclips/fanpage (@chatnigga101) November 14, 2025 .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/rumors/rory-faces-heavy-backlash-over-alleged-black-women-are-ugly-roaches/

Papoose Announces Upcoming Album & Addresses Age Myths In Rap

Posted by urbanradiocollective — Sat, 15 Nov 2025 02:01 GMT

Papoose dropped a few gems about his upcoming album and his evolving relationship with Claressa Shields during a recent sit-down with XXL, where the veteran MC made it clear that age has no bearing on talent in Hip-Hop and that love and music are very much intertwined in his life right now. The Brooklyn rapper, who has spent over two decades sharpening his lyrical sword, confirmed that his next album is set to arrive this month. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Papoose (@papoose) He also opened up about making music with Shields, the two-time Olympic gold medalist and current boxing powerhouse, who has been the subject of recent engagement rumors. Shields took to social media to set the record straight, writing, "PAPOOSE hasn't proposed YET!" While the relationship buzz made headlines, Papoose kept the focus on the music and his deep-rooted connection to Hip-Hop culture. "Hip-Hop is something you live, rap is something you do," he said. "I'm a part of the culture, which is a word everybody throws around, but I grew up in this. So, growing up in this, it's different than being attracted to this by money. People don't understand. Guys like myself, and a whole other army of others out there, we would do this without one dollar involved. It's a way of life." Now serving as the head of Hip-Hop at Wynn Records, Papoose is balancing executive duties with his own creative pursuits. His label recently signed rising artist CuhDeeJah, a move that reflects his dedication to nurturing new voices while continuing to drop his own material. Papoose Says Hip-Hop Has No Age Limits Addressing the long-standing debate about ageism in rap, Papoose was clear. "I don't think there was ever an age limit in Hip-Hop," he said. "Your age doesn't make you nice, your skills and your talent does. Those of us who really do this for real, we know that it's competitive since day one. I think that, as time went on, certain individuals who realize they can't compete started to use the age thing as an excuse. They kind of realize they can't compete with those guys who are really gifted at this." The couple's musical chemistry is just one layer of their connection. Shields has described Papoose as her "best friend," and their bond has grown throughout 2025. View this post on Instagram A post shared by ClaressaTheGWOATShields (@claressashields) While the proposal hasn't happened yet, the duo's collaboration in and out of the studio is already making noise. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/papoose-announces-upcoming-album-exposes-age-myths-rap/

"It's crazy to see my music in a movie that's been part of so many people's childhoods, including mine."

"Baddie Baddie," produced by longtime collaborator RiotUSA, samples M.I.A.'s 2012 hit "Bad Girls" and was accompanied by a video directed by Evil Twins. Outside of music, Ice Spice also made her big-screen debut this year in Spike Lee's Highest 2 Lowest, sharing scenes with Denzel Washington and A$AP Rocky. She also teamed up with Latto on the track "Gyatt," which symbolically closed the chapter on their previous tension.

Tyler The Creator Explods Onto Fortnite With Massive Icon Series Drop

Posted by urbanradiocollective — Sat, 15 Nov 2025 00:00 GMT

Tyler, The Creator leveled up both Hip-Hop and gaming culture as Epic Games debuted his official entry into Fortnite's Icon Series, launching a full-blown digital takeover on November 14 at 7 P.M. ET. The Tyler, The Creator collaboration brings two playable skins that reflect distinct phases of his artistic legacy, his early Odd Future era and his latest persona, "St. Chroma" from the CHROMAKOPIA album. The bundle doesn't stop at just outfits. It includes 13 items in total, making it one of the more elaborate music crossovers in the game's history. The full package, dubbed the Tyler, The Creator Bundle, features both Icon Series outfits, four back bling accessories (Earfshaker, Chroma Vox, Dynamite the Exploder and Mini Tyler), two emotes titled "Thought I Was Dead" and "Lil' Golf Cart," as well as themed gear like the Chroma Vox mic and Earfshaker drums. Players will also get contrails and two weapon wraps in Golf Pink and Chroma Green. To top it off, Epic added three Jam Tracks to the mix, allowing players to vibe to "EARFQUAKE," "Ring Ring Ring" and "Sticky" while battling it out. The trailer nods to Tyler's visual catalog, with a CHERRY BOMB balloon floating above the Battle Bus and a skydiving sequence that mirrors his "LUMBERJACK" video from CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST. Watch Video on YouTube The bundle is expected to cost around 3,500 V-Bucks, or roughly $22.39, according to industry analysts. That price reflects the depth of the offering, which goes beyond cosmetics and taps into Tyler's creative universe. This move places Tyler in the same league as Travis Scott and Eminem, who previously joined the Icon Series. It also marks another step in his broader entertainment footprint, following his Grammy nominations and a performance at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame tribute to Outkast. The Hawthorne native has kept a packed schedule in 2025, rolling out CHROMAKOPIA, a deluxe edition, new fashion ventures and multiple brand deals. This Fortnite partnership signals his continued move from cult favorite to cultural mainstay. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/tyler-the-creator-explods-onto-fortnite-with-massive-icon-series-drop/

EXCLUSIVE: Big U Proposes Strict Security Measures To Attend Son's Funeral

Posted by urbanradiocollective — Fri, 14 Nov 2025 23:01 GMT

Big U asked a federal judge to grant a tightly controlled release so he can perform the Islamic funeral rites for his son while he remains behind bars facing murder and racketeering charges. Big U's eldest son, Jabari Henley, was shot and killed on October 31 in South Los Angeles after leaving a community trunk-or-treat Halloween event. The court filing states the father is seeking time-limited access to conduct the washing and shrouding of the body and attend the Janazah prayer. AllHipHop is refraining from posting the time and location of the service for security reasons and out of an abundance of caution. Big U's lawyers told the judge their client is willing to submit to electronic monitoring and be escorted by private security under federal supervision. He would take a fixed route between the detention center and funeral services, full cost coverage by his family and strict no-contact restrictions. Watch Video on YouTube Meanwhile, Big U remains in federal custody because of a 43-count indictment unsealed March 17, 2025, which accuses him of leading a criminal enterprise called the "Big U Enterprise" under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) that allegedly committed murder, extortion, fraud, human trafficking and other crimes. The indictment specifically alleges Big U orchestrated the January 2021 killing of an aspiring rapper, whom prosecutors say he drove to North Las Vegas, shot in the head and dumped in a ditch off Interstate 15 after the rapper recorded a diss track about him.

Lil Kim's Brooklyn Nets Biggie Tribute Ripped Apart On Social Media

Posted by urbanradiocollective — Fri, 14 Nov 2025 22:01 GMT

Lil Kim took over halftime at Barclays Center on November 11 with a high-energy performance honoring The Notorious B.I.G., as the Brooklyn Nets launched their first-ever "Biggie Night" and introduced their new "Brooklyn Camo" uniforms inspired by the late rap icon. Wearing a bold "REALLY HER" tee, the Bed-Stuy native hit the court backed by the Nets dance team and delivered her verse from "Notorious B.I.G.," igniting cheers from the sold-out crowd. The tribute was part of a night dedicated to celebrating Biggie's impact on Hip-Hop and Brooklyn culture. "It's Biggie Night, so you already know the vibes. Every time we rep the legend, it's all good, babyyy bae baeee," Kim said ahead of the event. "Brooklyn, we ouuutssiiideee... Get ready for a fun-filled night! Let's make it one for the books." Watch Video on YouTube The Nets' new City Edition jerseys, dubbed "Brooklyn Camo," pay homage to Biggie's signature style, pulling visual cues from his iconic Coogi sweaters and the borough's streetwear roots. Each uniform features a "Bed-Stuy" patch, a nod to the neighborhood that raised both Biggie and Kim. The event wasn't just about fashion. The team partnered with the Biggie Smalls estate to produce a full evening of tributes, including Biggie bobblehead giveaways and in-game visuals celebrating his legacy. The collaboration is part of a broader effort to keep Biggie's influence alive throughout the NBA season. But the warm reception didn't extend to Lil Kim online. People were aghast by her performance, specifically her poor lip synching and apparent weight gain impeding her dance movements. Comments ranged from "imagine buying a ticket to see her and this is how she preformed! I was so disappointed! No rapping or nothing" to "the weight is getting out of control Kim." Others included, "Love her, but this is one of the worst lip syncs I have ever seen," "wtf is that build" and "Love Kim.. but this was messier than a toddler with a bowl of Apple sauce." View this post on Instagram Lil Kim's connection to Biggie began when she was a teenager and he helped launch her career by bringing her into Junior M.A.F.I.A. Their bond-both personal and professional-became one of Hip-Hop's most iconic partnerships, making her tribute especially meaningful. The halftime show also drew Lil Cease, Jadakiss and Biggie's son CJ Wallace, who were all in attendance for the emotional celebration. Their presence added a generational layer to the tribute, reminding the crowd of Biggie's lasting influence on rap culture. The Nets plan to wear the "Brooklyn Camo" jerseys throughout the season, continuing their tribute to Biggie with each game. The team said the initiative reflects their commitment to "Spread Love The Brooklyn Way," echoing one of Biggie's most famous lyrics. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/lil-kims-brooklyn-nets-biggie-tribute-ripped-apart-on-social-media/

Vlad Fires Back At Joyner Lucas: "He's Doesn't Seem Very Smart"

Posted by urbanradiocollective — Fri, 14 Nov 2025 21:01 GMT

Vlad dismissed Joyner Lucas' claims of extortion and clout-chasing after AllHipHop revealed he was suing the rapper for copyright infringement. The media personality addressed the controversy during a recent interview, saying he's simply enforcing his rights after Joyner Lucas reposted a VladTV clip without permission. "He doesn't seem very smart to me," Vlad said. "They [Joyner and his manager] do not seem very smart to me. At the end of the day, I'm just protecting my content." The legal dispute stems from a July 6 post on Twitter (X), where Lucas shared a VladTV video featuring comedian Aries Spears mocking British rap. Vlad claims the reposted clip had his watermark removed and was used to promote Lucas' music and merchandise. The video reportedly racked up 4.4 million views. Watch Video on YouTube According to the lawsuit filed in California federal court, Vlad and his company, Hot In Here Inc., are seeking up to $150,000 in statutory damages, legal fees, and a court order to prevent Lucas from using the content again. Vlad said he attempted to settle the matter privately, even offering Lucas a chance to appear on his platform. Instead, Lucas responded with a profanity-laced message, accusing Vlad of trying to pressure him into an interview. "When you get sued because you ain't wanna do a interview. SMH lame n#### been stalking me for YEARS to go on his weak ass channel." In another post, Lucas added, "YOU GOTTA BE THE BITCHEST OF ALL B#### N##### ALIVE. You wanted clout so bad so here's your clout..." along with a screengrab of AllHipHop's story. Vlad pushed back on the accusations, saying, "At the end of the day, nobody's extorting Joyner Lucas. It's about me protecting my content. All right? I'm spitting facts!" The lawsuit was filed quietly, according to Vlad, who stated that Lucas had made the situation public. "He's the one that went on every social media platform and told everybody. Who's clout-chasing? Me or him?" .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/dj-vlad-claps-back-at-joyner-lucas-hes-doesnt-seem-very-smart/

EXCLUSIVE: Prosecutors Urge Prison For 6ix9ine-Claims He Acts "Above The Law" After Cooperating

Posted by urbanradiocollective — Fri, 14 Nov 2025 20:00 GMT

6ix9ine is being accused by federal prosecutors of behaving as if his past cooperation placed him "above the law," a claim laid out in a new sentencing memo urging a judge to jail him for repeatedly violating supervised release. The government is asking for a sentence of three to nine months when 6ix9ine appears in Manhattan federal court, arguing that his latest conduct proves he has ignored the warnings that allowed him to avoid decades in prison. The memo says 6ix9ine admitted to possessing cocaine and MDMA after officers found both substances inside his Palm Beach County home in February. Prosecutors noted that the violations came only weeks after he completed a 45-day jail term for earlier misconduct involving methamphetamine use, failed drug tests, unauthorized travel and lying to his probation officer. The government's position shifted sharply in August, when 6ix9ine attacked a man inside a Wellington, Florida, mall. Prosecutors described the incident as a retaliatory beating that started after the victim mocked 6ix9ine for his cooperation in the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods case. The man walked away, but the memo says 6ix9ine and an associate went upstairs, knocked him down and hit him until they realized he had a gun. "While it is unfortunate that anyone would verbally provoke Hernandez for cooperating with the Government, it is an unfortunate reality that taunting like this is likely recur for the foreseeable future. Hernandez must learn to turn the other cheek and walk away from situations like these moving forward," said Jay Clayton, United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York. Prosecutors reminded the court that Judge Paul A. Engelmayer gave 6ix9ine a rare break in 2019 because he believed the rapper understood the consequences of his gang activity and would not reoffend. They now argue that 6ix9ine's actions demonstrate that he treated the leniency as a free pass, suggesting that a jail sentence is necessary to show that "cooperators are not above the law" and that new criminal behavior will be met with real punishment. The filing also asks the judge to impose a new two-year term of supervised release that includes substance abuse treatment and anger-management counseling, calling both essential for preventing future misconduct. 6ix9ine is scheduled to be sentenced on November 20, 2025. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/exclusive-prosecutors-urge-prison-for-6ix9ine-claims-he-acts-above-the-law-after-cooperating/

"Bubba" Causes Wild Storm, Rumored Trump & Bill Clinton "Connection"

Posted by urbanradiocollective — Fri, 14 Nov 2025 19:30 GMT

If you are reading this, sit down and hold on to your hat. Yesterday, social media was spinning like a turntable with Jazzy Jeff on the wheels. Mark Epstein, the brother of the late Jeffrey Epstein, just dropped a digital bombshell. In an email exchange from 2018, Mark casually asked his now-dead brother if Steve Bannon could confirm whether Vladimir Putin had photos of "Trump blowing Bubba." What? Say that again. After that, there were a wave of conspiracy theories, particularly in the political arena. Now, let's break this down. "Bubba" has long been the nickname for former President Bill Clinton. The term reportedly came from his Arkansas roots. That is also a general Southern name, but this seems to be very specific. Could this be what it is saying? The email is part of the House Oversight Committee's 20,000-page dump of Jeffrey Epstein's correspondences. This "content" is all over the place. Perversion run rampant? These communications, spanning from 2002 onward, show Epstein's rich and powerful connections. This included Donald Trump, Clinton and others. Trump has denied any real relationship with Epstein, but the smoke is filling the house. This feels like we have located the fire. In one of the more eyebrow-raising moments of the 2018 exchange, Mark Epstein's message to Jeffrey reads: "Ask him if Putin has photos of Trump blowing Bubba?" Yeah. That's it. That's the sentence that's got the internet ablaze. Wait, WHAT?! My understanding is the reference to 'Bubba' is Bill Clinton? This is a lot to digest. Who is Bubba, and why did Trump blow him? People are still buzzing over this. Keeping it real, we do not TRULY understand what Mark Epstein's words mean. Was it sarcasm or a quip? Snark? A wild inside joke? Nobody knows for sure. Trump and Clinton's are being dragged like a bad wig. For the record, Bill Clinton has denied any wrongdoing or knowledge of Epstein's criminal acts. He is on the flight logs. ,Trump has done the same, but it seems like the walls are closing in. Today, Trump demanded they look into this. I'm like...this is a meme... .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/rumors/bubba-causes-wild-storm-rumored-trump-bill-clinton-connection/

Nick Cannon & Mariah Carey's Daughter Posts Eyebrow Raising Statement On Family

Posted by urbanradiocollective — Fri, 14 Nov 2025 19:00 GMT

Monroe Cannon addressed her family dynamic and made it clear on Instagram that she considers only one person her brother, her twin, Moroccan Cannon. "Clearing something up guys," the 14-year-old wrote on her Instagram Stories. "I only have ONE brother who is @moroccan .cannon. I do have other half-siblings from my dad but they are all many many years younger than me!" The post drew attention not just for its rare glimpse into Monroe's perspective, but also because of her father Nick Cannon's widely discussed and ever-growing list of children. Since splitting from Mariah Carey in 2014, Cannon has fathered 10 more children with six different women. The 45-year-old shares three children, Golden, Powerful Queen and Rise, with Brittany Bell. He has twins, Zion and Zillion and a daughter, Beautiful, with Abby De La Rosa. With Bre Tiesi, he welcomed a son named Legendary. Watch Video on YouTube LaNisha Cole gave birth to their daughter Onyx. And with Alyssa Scott, Cannon had two children: daughter Halo and son Zen, who tragically died from brain cancer at just five months old in December 2021. Neither Carey nor Cannon has commented publicly on Monroe's post. However, Cannon previously opened up about his unconventional parenting approach during an August episode of his podcast Nick Cannon \@ Night. "When you start throwing labels on things, I think it does more harm than help and can get very dangerous, because then everybody else has a preconceived notion of what you're doing," he said. "I haven't figured it out yet. I haven't gotten it all the way right. But also, to your point, if I just step into every situation with respect and compassion, and individuality. That's the other thing I always do with anyone I'm involved with in my life." Monroe and Moroccan were born in 2011, three years after Carey and Cannon tied the knot. Their marriage ended in 2014. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/mariah-carey-nick-cannons-daughter-posts-eyebrow-raising-statement-on-family/

Drake Finally Addresses Claim He Got Peed On In Movie Theater

Posted by urbanradiocollective — Fri, 14 Nov 2025 18:32 GMT

Drake stepped into a podcast's comment section to finally address a rumor that has followed him for years. The Toronto rapper firmly denied claims that T.I.'s late friend Cap allegedly urinated on him during an incident at a movie theater. The controversial story resurfaced when podcast hosts discussed it as if it were factual during a recent episode. The claim first gained traction after Meek Mill referenced the incident on his song "Wanna Know" during his feud with the OVO founder. According to sources, Cap was drunk and urinated in the aisle during the premiere of T.I.'s movie "Takers" and apparently splashed some on Drake. Watch Video on YouTube Rather than let the narrative continue unchallenged, Drake appeared directly in the podcast's comments to set the record straight. He stated plainly that the entire situation was "made up," putting an end to speculation that had persisted across Hip-Hop circles for years. "Nah man never p##### on me in life, that story was for the net cause mans don't have s### to get their interviews watched," Drake fumed. The rapper's decision to address the rumor publicly came as a surprise to many fans, especially given the long time the story had circulated without his direct response. Social media users quickly filled the comment sections with reactions to his clarification, with some expressing shock that he had chosen to engage with the topic after remaining silent for so long. "If Drake never got peed on or slapped by Diddy then why didn't he sue Meek or TI for defamation?" one user said, referring to Drake's "Not Like Us" lawsuit against UMG. Another said, "Im not letting a rumor like someone pissing on me linger that def happened." Drake's correction serves as a reminder that not every lyric or industry story should be accepted at face value. His straightforward denial - calling the story "made up" - leaves no room for interpretation about his stance on the matter. The incident demonstrates how quickly unverified claims can become accepted as truth within entertainment circles, particularly when they're referenced by multiple artists in their music. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/drake-finally-addresses-reports-he-got-peed-on-in-movie-theater/

Drake Makes New Move In "Not Like Us" Legal Battle With Pre-Argument Statement

Posted by urbanradiocollective — Fri, 14 Nov 2025 16:00 GMT

Drake's legal war with Universal Music Group (UMG) has taken a new turn. The Canadian superstar's attorneys have officially filed a civil appeal pre-argument statement in the U.S. Court of Appeals, signaling his intent to continue fighting the dismissal of his defamation lawsuit tied to Kendrick Lamar's chart-topping hit "Not Like Us." According to the filing, Drake's legal team claims UMG "knowingly published and promoted" Lamar's explosive diss record, which they allege "conveys unambiguous and false factual allegations." They feel it was illegal to artistically portray the Toronto native as "a criminal pedophile." The 2024 song, which became a viral anthem during the height of the Drake and Kendrick feud, contains direct references such as "certified pedophile" and "Say, Drake, I hear you like 'em young." The filing also cites the accompanying artwork and visuals as evidence of defamation. The statement alleges that the single's release featured an aerial image of Drake's Toronto mansion digitally altered with icons resembling those used by police to identify the homes of registered sex offenders. Drake and his team allege UMG doubled down by publishing the official music video, which Drake's team says "reinforces the accusation that Drake is a criminal pedophile who should be incarcerated" through imagery associated with sex trafficking. Drake's lawyers assert that UMG acted with "malicious intent," emphasizing that the label had financial and strategic motives to push the track despite knowing its claims were false. The filing states UMG sought to "prove its worth" to Lamar, who was reportedly on a short-term exclusive contract at the time, while allowing Drake's own deal with the company to expire without renegotiation. The rapper's team argues that UMG's actions went beyond normal artistic expression, leading to "violent attacks" at Drake's Toronto residence and "threats against his family." The document also states Drake attempted to tell UMG of the escalating harm, but the label "continued to promote the work because it stood to greatly profit." Drake's lawsuit was initially dismissed earlier this year, but his appeal seeks to revive the case. The pre-argument statement, filed this week, only outlines part of what his attorneys plan to argue before the appellate court. Neither UMG nor Kendrick Lamar has publicly commented on the appeal. As the case progresses, it could establish a significant precedent regarding accountability in music promotion, particularly in rap battles. .mobile_only_ad{display:none;}@media only screen and (max-width:767px){.mobile_only_ad{display:block;}} via: https://allhiphop.com/news/drake-makes-new-move-in-not-like-us-legal-battle-with-pre-argument-statement/
