Rick Ross has continued his online trolling campaign against Drake by asking him to be his neighbor on Star Island.

Posting to his Instagram Stories on Wednesday (April 17), Rozay flaunted his wealth and the ongoing building work at his own mansion in the swanky Miami Beach neighborhood, while revealing that there was a vacant lot next door to his on the market for $37 million.

"Yesterday we began talking about real estate. I don't know nobody else that would buy a $35 million crib and tear it down and do it the way they wanna do it - customized. Well, I did [...] My dream crib," he bragged.

"But right next door is an empty lot. They only asking $37 million for the flat lot. Before I show it to you, you know who I would love to be my neighbor. So my rich friends, it's available. I know you got somebody that would love to stay right here next to Ricky Rozay."

"They only asking for $37 million which ain't much. Come on. I know you got some people who need it," he continued, seemingly addressing the 6 God.

The MMG mogul then gave a short tour of his house which is undergoing extensive renovations while Birdman and Lil Wayne's "Stuntin' Like My Daddy" played in the background.

Rick Ross had previously claimed that Birdman, the head of Drake's former label Cash Money, had a house go into foreclosure a few years ago and has been "struggling" ever since.

"Your best friend, Birdman, his house went into foreclosure five years ago. You done watched that man struggle for five years and ain't got that man a mansion," he taunted.

Ross' claim appeared to check out as Birdman was reportedly evicted from his Miami Beach mansion in 2018 for failing to meet his mortgage payments.

He later sold the waterfront property for $10.85 million - almost $5 million less than what he originally paid for it.

Rozay continued his rant by giving Drake two days to put his money where his mouth is and help his former label boss: "If you got more money than Rozay, what's another $50 million, white boy? There's one for $40 [million] on Indian Creek, there's one for $50 [million] on Star Island. You got 48 hours, white boy."

He again mocked Baby's alleged financial struggles by saying: "Soon as that pressure on white boy, he gonna go post Stunna. Stunna in that $20 jogging suit, I know the man need some paper ... [Birdman] ain't got that mark back. That mark ain't fed him none."

Despite being prolific collaborators, Drake and Rick Ross have fallen out in recent weeks following Kendrick Lamar's blistering verse on Future and Metro Boomin's "Like That," which contained shots at the Toronto rap star as well as J. Cole.

After Ross appeared to side with his enemies, Drizzy took aim at his former friend on his leaked diss song "Push Ups (Drop & Give Me 50)" where he rapped: "I might take your latest girl and cuff her like I'm Ricky/ Can't believe he jumpin' in, th-s nigga turnin' 50/ Every song that made it on the chart, he got from Drizzy/ Spend that lil' check you got and stay up out my business."

The Teflon Don hit back on "Champagne Moments," accusing Drake of undergoing plastic surgery to appear more "white," employing ghostwriters to write his raps and "hating" on French Montana by blocking a song they recorded together.

The pair have been going back and forth on social media ever since

GloRilla has reportedly been arrested in Georgia for driving under the influence.
According to a police report obtained by TMZ, the Memphis rapper was handcuffed on Tuesday morning (April 16) and booked on suspicion of driving under the influence and consuming/possessing an open alcoholic beverage container.

She was also booked on a separate traffic charge.

A police officer reportedly pulled GloRilla (real name Gloria Hallelujah Woods) over at around 4 a.m. after seeing her make a U-turn at a red light.

The officer claimed he smelt marijuana and alcohol inside the car and that GloRilla told him she'd been drinking that evening. Although she wouldn't say how much she had to drink, she insisted she was able to drive.

The "Tomorrow 2" hitmaker then took a field sobriety test and apparently struggled to stay on her feet. She also did a number of other tests including an eye-follow test, walk-and-turn, one-leg balance and walk-in-a-straight-line, but failed most of them.

She was also asked to take a breathalyzer test but reportedly refused. During the traffic stop, the police officer claimed that GloRilla's breast slipped out from under her clothes, which he had to make her aware of.

The 24-year-old was taken to jail just after 6 a.m. and released on bond a few hours later. An associate apparently came to pick up her vehicle from the scene.

After her arrest hit the headlines, GloRilla appeared to make light of the incident by posting a selfie on social media showing her balancing a bottle of port on her head while sticking her tongue out.

The image did not go down well, with some users accusing her of trivializing drink-driving.

"Posting this after getting a dui kinda crazy af drunk driving ain't no joke," one person wrote, while another said: "Imagine glamorizing being a drunk driver and putting people lives at risk."

She later responded to the backlash, tweeting: "We live in a generation fulla fucking ass n-ggas [crying face emojis] [thumb down emojis] Ima keep my lil shit to myself yall got it."

GloRilla's brush with the law comes shortly after she released her latest mixtape, Ehhthang Ehhthang, via Yo Gotti's CMG and Interscope Records.

The 12-track project boasts features from Moneybagg Yo, Finesse2Tymes, Real Boston Richey and Kevo Muney and Megan Thee Stallion - the latter of whom appears on the standout hit "Wanna Be," which recently debuted at No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Ehhthang Ehhthang itself opened at No. 18 on the Billboard 200 after earning over 30,000 equivalent album units in its first week

Kanye West has been accused of punching a man in the face for allegedly sexually assaulting his wife Bianca Censori.

According to TMZ, Kanye is the named suspect in a battery report, with police investigating whether he physically attacked the man.

The alleged incident happened on Tuesday night (April 16) and came after the culprit allegedly touched Censori inappropriately.

Nobody involved required medical attention.

It was initially reported that the man "pushed or grabbed" Censori, but West's representatives later said: "'Grabbed' is grossly inadequate as a description of what happened. Bianca was physically assaulted."

They added: "The assailant didn't merely collide into her. He put his hands under her dress, directly on her body, he grabbed her waist, he spun her around, and then he blew her kisses. She was battered and sexually assaulted."

At this time, Censori has not filed a sexual assault claim, while Kanye has yet to comment on the incident.

It is not the first time the Chicago rap icon has been accused of assault or battery.

Last year, he was sued by a female photographer who claims she feared for her life and was left "traumatized and humiliated" by Yeezy after he threw her phone away.

Footage of the incident was captured by the photographer's business partner and showed Kanye approaching her car window after he and Bianca Censori were being tailed. Kanye also flashed what the woman called a "death stare" in her direction.

"You all ain't gonna run up on me like that," Ye could be heard telling her in the clip. "If I say stop, stop with your cameras."

The rapper then proceeded to rip the phone out of her hands and toss it in the street, with the woman claiming it landed into oncoming traffic.

Before that, in 2022, West managed to evade an assault charge after punching a fan from inside of his car outside of a Los Angeles hotel.

At some point during the altercation, Kanye was heard yelling: "Did y'all say that or not? Did y'all say that or not? 'Cause that's what happened right fucking now!"

Kanye was also arrested twice in 2008 and 2013 for fighting with paparazzi photographers at Los Angeles International Airport. His criminal record was ultimately expunged

Nas is giving fans hope that his long-awaited joint album with DJ Premier may finally be in the works.

In an Instagram post on Wednesday (April 17), the legendary Queensbridge MC shared a throwback photo of him and Preemo together in the 90s with the caption: "Then v.s Now. What if..."

The comments were flooded with excitement as people speculated about the post being his roundabout way of confirming that their LP is on the way.

"Don't play with my emotions like this," one person wrote, while another added: "Preem & esco album, maybe? Probably? Hope fully lol?"

Another comment read: "Here we gooooo!!!!!!!"

Word of a collaborative project by Nas and DJ Premier first made the rounds after the two mentioned teaming up for a full-length album during a 2007 interview with Scratch. Years went by, but nothing materialized besides the legendary producer repeatedly promising that it would come out some day.

Both veterans began working together after the scratch master heard Esco's "Halftime" track for the first time. He loved the record so much that he wasted no time hopping on the MC's debut album Illmatic to handle production alongside Large Professor, Q-Tip, Pete Rock and more.

The songs released as part of that LP are still among Nas' most revered work, namely joints such as "N.Y. State of Mind," "Memory Lane (Sittin' in da Park)" and "Represent." The duo would continue to work with each other on songs such as "Nas Is Like" and "N.Y. State of Mind Pt. II" in subsequent years, but never on an entire album.

Despite not giving fans much of an update on the teased collaboration, Nas and Preemo reunited in 2022 when they joined forces on "Beat Breaks" off the producer's Hip Hop 50: Vol. 1 EP. Later that year, the MC snuck a line in about the joint effort on his King's Disease 3 album with Hit-Boy.

"Doesn't matter this is sheer relief, I feel the breeze this is/ Superhero material, rap star status/ Premier album still might happen," he raps on the track.

Meanwhile, his aforementioned debut is about to turn 30 years old, and the New York City native recently celebrated the milestone by paying tribute to those who helped him along the way.

Taking to his Instagram in mid April, he noted that the well-worn nature of the throwback photos he shared was a sign of the times.

"Grainy pictures for grainy times. I had a dream I could get my favorite producers to produce on my debut album," he wrote in the caption. "I knew exactly what I wanted and how it should be. But I didn't know anyone except for Paul, so I asked him would he connect me to them all."

He continued: "The cool soul brother that he is helped me line it up. On April 19th we smashed shit. Even tho the album leaked months before the release date we still are apart of music history.

"Thank you Large Professor (Paul) and Dj Premier who drove into the projects to pick me up a time or two. Qtip , Pete Rock , and my man from The Bridge DJ LES, and my guy AZ who was just coming up himself. And thank you to everyone involved. Friday is the albums 30th. 2 The Listeners- ONE LOVE

Drake has given Joe Budden the one-up over DJ Vlad for his "Big 3" in Hip Hop media, according to Adam22.

The No Jumper host shared a conversation he had with Drizzy in a clip posted to social media on Wednesday (April 17). In it, the 40-year-old explains that he messaged the Canadian superstar and asked him: "Who's the big 3 of Hip Hop media platforms?"

The internet personality voted for himself, DJ Vlad and Akademiks, adding in his message that "Zesty Budden is dying to be included."

Responding with eight crying-laughing emojis, the 6 God told Adam: "Nah. You gotta give it to him over Vlad."

Earlier this month, Adam22 called Joe Budden out on X (formerly Twitter) after the Slaughterhouse MC alleged that No Jumper was floundering.

According to the stats provided by the media and porn figure, his platform is in fact generating double the views on YouTube than The Joe Budden Podcast.

APRIL 3, 2024

Meanwhile, Budden and Drake have their own history.

On November's Scary Hours 3 (also known as For All The Dogs: Scary Hours Edition), the Toronto native took aim at not only Budden, but Kanye West and Pusha T as well.

On "Stories About My Brother", he rapped: "Imagine us getting our validation from an ex-musician searching for recognition/ Same story every time, they heckle in repetition/ I'm top of the mountain, these n-ggas still down at base camp, they planning they expedition."

The 43-year-old first earned the Scorpion MC's ire back in October, when he critiqued the original For All The Dogs album, which didn't sit well with its creator.

Despite his critique of Drake's music over the years, Budden had nothing to say about the project or the diss when the topic came up on his show.

"Not a peep," he said. "Not a one word about it. Not one word. I'm here to listen to y'all. I have absolutely nothing to say."

The East Coast rapper went on to say he wanted to "keep my thoughts to myself," which drew reactions of surprise from his co-hosts.

Most recently, Budden claimed that he's getting intel about his adversary from private escorts.

"I think most of my Drake intel today comes from my love of escorts," he said on an episode of his podcast in mid April. "I'm not trying to be funny. The escorts just always know. The escorts are ground level to it all. The escorts are the CIA of the subway system.

Cardi 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.

Taking to X (formerly known as Twitter) on November 22, Bardi shared the clip which dubs her fake voice over a real video of her.

"Yo it's ya girl Cardi and I'ma show you how to put $16,000 in your pocket right now for free!" AI Cardi says in the clip. "So pay attention! The state's handing out these stacks to every single one of y'all. You don't even need a job! It's all part of a stimulus-style program to help Americans get back on their feet. They're sending out these health spending cards re-loaded with that green every single month!"

In her retweet, Cardi wrote: "AI is crazy smh....another lawsuit that fell right on my lap...I love easy money.

Future, Metro Boomin and Kendrick Lamar took the Hip Hop world by storm with the release of "Like That," and its grip on the culture reflects in its charting dominance.

On Monday (April 15), Billboard reported that the scathing diss track aimed at Drake and J. Cole is going steady, as it has retained the No. 1 spot on their Hot 100 tally for the third consecutive week.

This makes it the second rap song to ever claim the top spot in the first three weeks upon its release, following Drake's Scorpion joint "Nice for What" back in early 2018.

Future rapper and Metro dropped their collaborative album We Don't Trust You in late March, on which the Compton MC takes a number of shots at his fellow titans.

The guest verse on "Like That" begins with a mention of Drizzy and Cole's No. 1 single "First Person Shooter," with accusations of "sneak dissin.'"

"Yeah, get up with me/ Fuck sneak dissin', first person shooter/ I hope they came with three switches," he raps.

K.Dot then directly references "the big three," which is commonly believed to be him, Drake and J. Cole, claiming it's only him at the top of the rap chain. He also compares himself to Prince and the others to Michael Jackson, suggesting his work will outlive both of them.

"Think I won't drop the location? I still got PTSD/ Muthafuck the big three, n-gga, it's just big me/ N-gga, bum, what? I'm really like that/ And your best work is a light pack/ N-gga, Prince outlived Mike Jack," he spits.

The 36-year-old concludes by referencing the Canadian superstar's 2023 album For All the Dogs and Stephen King's 1983 novel Pet Sematary with: "N-gga, bum, 'fore all your dogs gettin' buried/ That's a K with all these nines, he gon' see Pet Sematary."

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

Pusha 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]."

Drake and Pusha have been feuding for over a decade, exchanging disses on record. 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

Gunna 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.

He was also subsequently released from jail while Thugga, who is currently on trial, remained behind bars without bond.

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.

Baby 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!"

Following the release of her From The Block freestyle on February 8, some Barbz felt that Baby Tate's animated delivery and her look, which incorporated a wig with bangs, were a direct bite off of Nicki Minaj.

"Sounds like you have potential but looks like you biting Nicki Minaj's style too much. You'll always be compared to her if you don't develop your own look and mannerisms," one fan wrote.

Tate responded: "Nicki Minaj is not the first or LAST person to blink their fcking eyes, tilt their head, or be in a general sense ANIMATED in rap or any other genre. I am a THEATER GIRL. I am and will forever be animated, silly, goofy, have fun and fully express that the way I so CHOOSE. If you in your limited mind can only see someone else when I do that, it's not on me. I'm Baby Tate. PERIOD."

She then added more on Twitter/X after another critic told her she should just pay homage to Nicki.

"I did. When I first came out. It's 2024 & I'm on my 9th year in the game babe," she wrote. "YALL LATE as to who I am and that is not my fault or responsibility to guide you through the education of Baby Tate. Do ur own research, leave me alone!
