It's The Boombap

DJ Mustard rolls into The 6 with Kendrick Lamar for the highly anticipated two-night Grand National Tour and commemorates the visit with an order of fried rice and shrimp from New Ho King.

The award-winning producer shared a picture of the Chinese food on his Instagram Friday night (June 13). The photo is clearly a diss towards Drake, referencing the Kendrick Lamar line on "Euphoria."

The photo can be seen as a jab from DJ Mustard after Drake began following the producer's ex-wife on Instagram in 2024. Mustard and his ex-wife had a very public divorce that included the "Ballin'" hitmaker paying his ex-wife $590,000 in the settlement. 

Kendrick Lamar and Mustard performed at Rogers Centre, including a sold-out arena, singing along to the Drake diss tracks "Like That," "Euphoria," and "Not Like Us." Mustard's latest post resurfaces his issues with Drizzy.

Drake and Mustard's beef was a result of the 6 God's rap battle against Kendrick Lamar. The rift deepened in May 2024 when Mustard produced Lamar's blistering diss track "Not Like Us," a West Coast anthem that took direct aim at Drake and became a cultural phenomenon. The move surprised fans, considering Mustard and Drake had previously worked together-most notably on YG's "Who Do You Love?" in 2014.

By August 2024, Mustard made his stance clear in an interview with the Los Angeles Times, calling Drake "a strange guy" and saying, "I don't think I want to make a song with that dude." He later mocked Drake online, referring to him as "the Malcolm X of white people" and accusing Drake's camp of interfering with his album's release. The passive tension turned theatrical in November, when Mustard played Kendrick's "Like That" during his Camp Flog Gnaw set-skipping over Drake's "Crew Love" and drawing laughs from the crowd.

Drake responded through Instagram Live, launching petty jabs and memes about Mustard's appearance, calling him "Custaaaaard" in a mocking tone. What started as a quiet shift turned into a public falling out.

Mustard's beef with Drake has resulted in the producer's beef with OVO affiliate Gordo. The two DJs have exchanged jabs across social media. While Gordo would criticize Mustard's production credibility, Mustard would counter by dissing Gordo's attendance numbers and album sales.

From rapper to baby mama to politician, no one escapes 50 Cent's comedic wrath on social media.

50 Cent trolls attorney Gloria Allred after news broke that the California State Bar was investigating her law firm. The probe stems from allegations that Allred pressured women into premature settlements in sexual misconduct cases. 

On Instagram, 50 mocked her directly: "Hey Gloria, so the Feds are on your ass now, hun. LOL. I told you I'm not paying you... You've been getting away with murder."

The post followed The Wall Street Journal's report in which former clients claimed they were coerced into deals. While the Bar has yet to file formal charges, it has requested records and interviews, signaling serious intent. The inquiry adds to mounting criticism of the Bar's oversight, particularly after it mishandled the case of disbarred attorney Thomas Girardi.

Allred denies any wrongdoing, maintaining her firm upholds ethical legal standards. Still, the controversy adds another layer to her ongoing feud with 50 Cent. 

She's currently representing photographer Guadalupe De Los Santos, who alleges he was injured by a member of 50's team during a 2023 book signing in Los Angeles. The lawsuit accuses 50 of directing someone to hit De Los Santos with an SUV door while he rode an electric scooter.

The rapper dismissed the lawsuit with a sarcastic Instagram post in January, joking, "Gloria, you're not gonna get any money from me that way. But if you call me, I'll take you to dinner."

Allred is also pursuing multiple lawsuits against Sean "Diddy" Combs. Among them is a case brought by Thalia Graves, who claims she was drugged, sexually assaulted, and filmed by Combs and his bodyguard in 2001. These ongoing cases have placed Allred's practice under intense public scrutiny.

As the legal heat rises, 50 Cent's online jabs reflect more than a personal grudge-they echo a broader conversation about power, justice, and the public's waning trust in celebrity lawyers.

It's hard to tell sometimes when Kanye West is being genuinely serious or trolling. That precaution has stayed in people's minds, especially when it comes to the artist's album rollouts. For years, fans have been led astray when it comes when said projects are actually coming out.

That's been the case as well during this most recent stretch in which he's teased WW3/CUCK and Bully. The former one (or two?) has been receiving the bulk of the updates as Kanye West has shared some his most unhinged singles of his career. Those of course include "Heil Hitler" (HALLELUJAH), "COUSINS," and "WW3."

But Bully was the first to be announced, with that happening in the last quarter of 2024. The last major update we heard about it was late last month when he confirmed the June 15 release date with Sneako. "The Bully album is coming out on June 15, We sold vinyl, though. We just haven't made them yet. That sh*t is like, 30,000 units or something like that. [...] How do I beat the game? You don't beat the game by buying it. I think what I should do is do the opposite... Just put my sh*t up and... It's like you say, perception is reality."

That fell in line with what he told Justin Laboy a few months prior when North West was with him. "Yeah, so we are gonna do it on your birthday. That's when we're gonna bring Bully," he said in part.

However, in classic Ye fashion, it's looking pretty unlikely that he will live up to that. In a couple of tweets by Kurrco, it sounds like the Chicago native has some work to do still. In fact, it sounds like he forgot that he slated Bully to come out tomorrow.

In one tweet, Kurrco shared a conversation between Kanye and a friend. The latter sent him a screenshot of a tweet that asked if the rapper was going to start promoting Bully. However, that didn't register right away for Ye. "Which album is that," he responded.

But moments later, a possible second affiliate of Kanye's asked him about Bully specifically and if it was coming out on the 15th. "Working on it now," he replied. "Oh [two arm flexing emojis]! Can I share this message?" the person asked. "Yes," Ye said back.

Now, the status of Bully seems to be up in the air. So, we will just have to monitor Ye over the next 24 hours or so and see what happens next.

WWE superstar Jade Cargill heads to Hollywood.

Deadline announced on Thursday (June 12) that the 33-year-old wrestler will make her acting debut in the upcoming Jonathan Majors action thriller True Threat. Cargill will co-star alongside Majors - who is slowly making his return to prominence - in the film. 

Jonathan Majors stars as Vernon Threat, a former Special Forces operative who returns home after his teenage son is murdered. Seeking justice, Vernon enters The Carter, a 20-story housing project under gang control, and fights his way floor by floor to confront the gang's elusive leader-his former mentor, Shallow.

Cargill plays Meeka, one of the film's central antagonists. As a high-ranking lieutenant in the Apollo Kids, Meeka controls the building's red-light district and serves as a ruthless political force inside The Carter. 

The role will showcase Cargill's physicality, charisma, and command. It will take her from the WWE ring to a highly stylized cinematic battlefield. Her casting follows a standout performance at WrestleMania 41 and further cements her status as one of WWE's brightest rising stars.

True Threat will also spotlight 52 Blocks, a Black American martial art rarely depicted on screen. With fight choreography led by Larnell Stovall (The Continental), the film blends stylized combat with a grounded narrative rooted in Harlem's layered realities. McMurray co-wrote the screenplay with Hodge K. Johnson.

The upcoming film will follow Majors' critically acclaimed 2024 film, Magazine Dreams. He attributes his personal growth to therapy, faith, and the steady support of his wife, actress Meagan Good. 

In a March, he said he feels "stronger, wiser, and better," following completed court-mandated counseling. He has avoided discussing the case in-depth, citing legal restrictions.

Despite losing his Marvel role, the industry has remained strong in its support. Michael B. Jordan and Whoopi Goldberg have voiced public encouragement. Jordan even hinted at collaborating with Majors again. The actor's upcoming roles include Merciless, a revenge thriller from Martin Villeneuve.

Majors appears focused on dramatic, character-driven films that reflect his emotional depth. Rather than attempting a rapid comeback, he's charting a slower, more reflective path. 

For now, his reinvention is unfolding one role at a time, grounded in humility, personal evolution, and a deliberate shift toward redemptive storytelling.

The Air Jordan 5 "Grape" is making a comeback next Saturday, bringing back one of the cleanest colorways in the silhouette's long history. First released in 1990, this pair became an icon off the strength of its bold color blocking and fresh, summertime vibe.

White leather and icy soles set the stage, but it's that teal and purple combo that really made the "Grape" stand out then, and still does now. The Jordan 5 itself holds a unique place in the Air Jordan legacy.

Designed by Tinker Hatfield, it introduced reflective tongues, lace locks, and translucent outsoles to the line. While MJ never wore the "Grape" colorway on the court, it still gained cultural traction, especially when Will Smith famously rocked them in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

Since then, they've become one of the most recognizable non-Bulls colorways across the Jordan archive. Retailer photos show the upcoming release sticking close to the OG formula.

The white leather looks crisp, the embroidered Jumpman returns in teal, and the shark-tooth midsole details pop in a vivid grape purple. Whether it's nostalgia or just good design, this one feels timeless.

This Air Jordan 5 features a smooth white leather upper with breathable mesh side panels for that signature AJ5 look. The icy translucent outsole brings a clean contrast to the white midsole, while visible Air cushioning gives it that classic 90s feel underfoot.

Up top, a reflective silver tongue grabs attention, sporting a teal Jumpman logo that pops perfectly against the muted tones. Grape purple details wrap the midsole, appear on the tongue lining, and continue the theme on the lace lock.

A black midsole wrap adds balance, while the OG Nike Air branding stitched into the heel seals the retro vibe.

@zsneakerheadz reports that the Air Jordan 5 OG "Grape" is going to return on June 21st, 2025. Also, the retail price of the sneakers will be $210 when they drop.

Cardi B clears up new rumors about her anticipated sophomore album in her latest Instagram Live. After turning her album in last week, Cardi B shut down rumors that her label, Atlantic Records, rejected the album.

Unsure where the rumors came from, Cardi clears up all the misinformation and her relationship with Atlantic Records. "I don't know where the f*ck ya'll came from with the, 'Cardi turned in her album, and the label told her no, or Cardi is facing her karma," Cardi tells stream followers. "I'm actually facing the opposite. First of all, Atlantic Records... Y'all think I just turned in my album, and Atlantic Records just heard my album today. Well, not today... It was just one day I turned in my album, and Atlantic Records heard it. No" 

Cardi B would further explain to fans her label's involvement in the recording process to provide clarity. Wearing AI-designed sunglasses and a beard, she continued:

 "People from Atlantic Records, from A&Rs to execs to Vice Presidents, stuff like that, they pop up at my studio sessions like every two weeks... They pop up whenever they feel like it because they are the one who pays for the studio sessions. On top of that, I also share the studio with another big Atlantic artist. I'm not going to say who but its like they always pop up. So, if y'all think I just handed my album like here. Ya'll think this is the first time they hearing my material, y'all buggin. They know exactly what it is."

Cardi's explanation follows the rap star's response to the leak of a snippet of her song "Outside" last week. The song was previewed at a BET Awards 2025 event in Los Angeles. The fiery lyrics immediately sparked speculation that the song was aimed at her estranged husband, Offset, amid their ongoing split and public fallout.

Fans were quick to interpret the song as a direct response to recent tensions with Offset, including reports of spousal support issues. Its sharp tone and emotional intensity fueled excitement for the album's direction. In a recent interview, Cardi said she's "100 percent confident" in the project and teased unexpected collaborations and a bolder sound.

As chatter swirled, Cardi addressed the hype on Instagram Live. She clarified that while "Outside" ignited interest, it won't be released as a lead single. 

"At the end of the f*cking day ... one of my snippets was leaked from a song, and I don't even care much for the song, but everybody loves it," said Cardi B. "And that's one of the things my label wants. They want me to drop the song because they love the reaction of it. I mean... I might drop it, I might not, I don't know. When your label is excited for you to drop, whenever they want you to drop, that's always a great thing."

Cardi's sophomore album's title remains unknown. She provided fans with an update for the album rollout while explaining "Outside."

The clip concludes with Cardi B saying, "For some muthaf*cka out here. Some bum ass n***a talking about, 'Oh, she's facing karma..' Facing what karma? I'm about to do a music video in less than a week."

DJ Swamp Izzo is back at it again to feed Playboi Carti's raved (and delusional) fan base with another update on BABY BOI. For those who don't know, this is somewhat of a sequel to his most recent record, MUSIC. Of course, the latter put a four-year album drought to an end this March.

Since the release of his third studio album, the Atlanta luminary has been hyping up this follow-up with constant tweets and snippets. Of course, who knows if it's actually coming soon, though. We were receiving empty promise after empty promise months ahead of MUSIC.

But Swamp Izzo, who had a huge hand in said project, has made claims that BABY BOI is complete. "New music. He got over 50, 60 songs done. Completed to his liking? I couldn't say. But they're done. If I was still in that mixtape era, we'd have BABY BOI one through nine. 15 years ago, we were so heartfelt on them exclusives. We couldn't even sleep until we put it out before everybody," he said just a couple of months ago.

Joining him in confirming that status of it was Playboi Carti's new girlfriend, Gio Ramos. "Yeah, BABY BOI is done. BABY BOI is done. It's completed. He keeps talking about it. It's done; it's on the way. He just keeps trying to make sure it drops at the right time, I guess."

Now, as of yesterday, Swamp Izzo was caught in the studio by hip-hop insider Kurrco speaking with a lot excitement about this tape. "I'ma give you this much, this for the world," he began. "If you hated where I was at on [MUSIC] - gonna wanna kill me. I'm getting extra security."

One of the complaints a fair number of people had with MUSIC was that they felt Izzo was too involved on the album. But he's sending a (hilarious) fair warning to those future listeners that he's going to be even more prevalent on BABY BOI.

"I'ma be extra flamboyant, extra robust," he said with fervor. "I can't wait until it come out!"

As of yet, we obviously have no release date available. But a couple of weeks ago, Playboi Carti got in on the album promotion by sharing photos from his night of performing for The Weeknd on the singer's tour stop in Chicago. "SWAMP IZZO TRAVIS SCOTT TRIM DEM STADIUMS AINT NO JOKE KID YOU GOT 2 COME WITH IT BBYBOY."

Fans have been anxiously awaiting Cardi B's sophomore album for years, and now, it looks like it's finally on the horizon. Recently, the femcee took to social media to provide her followers with a brief update on the project. She clapped back at haters speculating that her label rejected it, revealing that the label is actually pushing for the release of one of her recently leaked songs.

"One of my snippets was leaked," she began, as captured by Live Bitez. "I don't even care much for the song, but like everybody loves it. And that's actually one of the things that my label wants, they want me to drop the song because they love the reaction [to] it."

"I might drop it, I might not," Cardi added. "I don't know."

A snippet of the song in question, "Outside," surfaced online late last month. In it, she takes several shots at an unnamed man. Fans speculate that Offset could have been her target, as things between the two of them have gotten tense in recent months, to say the least.

Cardi B "Outside"

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Watch Live Bitez (@livebitez)


In May, for example, Offset filed for spousal support, earning a fiery response from the Bronx rapper. "Yo, you such a f*cking p*ssy a** n****," she said on Twitter Spaces. "Word to my mother. I want you to die, but I want you to die f*cking slow, n**** ... When you die, n****, I want you to die slow in the bed. And when you die, n****, you gotta think of me."

As the snippet of "Outside" made its rounds online, fans began to demand its release. Earlier this week, however, the odds weren't looking good.

"I don't know if I really wanna put that song out, to be honest with you," she said on Instagram Live at the time. "And it's not because I'm doubting myself and this, this, and that. I'm really, really grateful for all the love. It was never the plan. I don't think I wanna put out a single to be honest with you. I just wanna put out my album all at the same time."

It goes without saying that celebrities have a right to personal space just like everyone else. Recently, however, some social media users accused Doja Cat of going too far in her quest to defend that right. Earlier this week, a video of the performer interacting with influencer and fan Pablo Tamayo surfaced online. In the video, he hugged her and took off his tank top from his pride clothing line to give to her.

Yesterday, she took to X to share her take on the interaction. "I threw that musty a** shirt away btw," she began.

"Bottom line is i'll smile at you but it doesn't mean I f*ck w you," Doja continued. "And don't touch me and man handle me when you don't even f*ckin know me. iykyk. i honestly think I need to stand up for myself in the moment sometimes. and he didn't even know my f*ckin name to be touching me and kissing me on my face like that is crazy."

Tomayo ended up seeing the tweets, which have since been deleted, and responding in a TikTok. "I would've never wanted to make her uncomfortable. I would've never filmed if she didn't say yes. That video that we filmed was after everything," he said in part. "I understand that she has to set her boundaries. She's a celebrity. I'm not. I will never understand that, so I value that... I appreciate and I get that."

"I apologize if I did anything wrong at all," Tomayo added. "I know I didn't know her first. I never claimed to be the biggest fan ever. I just respect her a lot for her work."

The ordeal has earned mixed reactions from social media users. While some are slamming Doja Cat for what they see as an unnecessarily mean tweet about a supporter, others are defending her right to speak up for herself.

"I feel bad for him she didn't need to roast him like that," one Instagram users writes in The Neighborhood Talk's comments section. "He definitely did too much," someone else claims.

Kendrick Lamar fans were having an absolute blast the rapper's show in Toronto earlier this week. From asking for an encore performance of "Not Like Us" to taking over New Ho King, they were making their presence felt in Drake's hometown. Thanks to a clip captured by DJ Akademiks, they were even doing their best Crip Walk while the lawsuit-inducing diss track blared throughout the Rogers Centre.

But their attempts at recreating the iconic West Coast dance were met with skepticism and laughs. That's especially true when it comes to Akademiks, who captioned said post, "lol... which part of Toronto these mans from." This even got Drake to pop out and like the post. It appears he also thinks their dancing seemed misplaced.

Of course, though, this led commenters to share their thoughts. Some were just having a good laugh at watching the concertgoers try to replicate the dance. However, a lot more were discussing Lamar's dominance and Drake's interaction.

"I love Drake and how he liked the post, always been comical to him... I'm sure lol [laughing emoji]," one person writes. Another goes, "Drake liking the post to try to show us yet again he isn't bothered which ironically shows us.... he's bothered [two laughing emojis]."

"Kendrick really runs Canada like that," jonathan.xci declares. "KDOT standing on drake body fr," another similarly adds.

Overall, this two-night stay for Lamar was fascinating, and we assume many hoped it would. The out-of-towner first performed in Toronto on Thursday, June 12. He followed it up with one more show on Friday, June 13. Things will get back underway for him in Hershey, Pennsylvania on Monday, June 16.

But as for the whole Akademiks and Drake angle, this was a continuation of their interactions from the time Lamar stepped foot in the 6ix. The hip-hop pundit alleged that he had spoken with The Boy and he allegedly told him that he should've went to his rival's show.

However, Drake allegedly replied, "'Yo, Ak, they've had two cars on my block since two days ago. Since they know this n****'s coming here.'" This suggested that police cars were outside of The Embassy; however, that was never confirmed.
