It's The Boombap

Snoop Dogg is grieving the loss of his beloved French bulldog, Juelz Broadus. 

On June 12, the rapper shared news of Juelz's passing with a heartfelt Instagram tribute. The post featured a montage of memories soundtracked by Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth's "See You Again," reflecting the deep bond they shared.

Juelz had been part of Snoop's life since 2014, gifted by Khalifa as a surprise birthday present. Their friendship gave the musical choice added meaning. 

The video showed moments from Juelz's life, from puppyhood to lounging beside Snoop, posing with stacks of cash, and even throwing side-eye at a Darth Vader figure. Each photo captured the pup's charm and his role in Snoop's world.

More than a pet, Juelz became a celebrity in his own right. His Instagram, @juelzbroadus, attracted over 51,000 followers who watched him enjoy a plush life as Snoop's right-hand dog. From luxury naps to road trips, Juelz lived well.

Snoop's affection for dogs has long been part of his identity. From Doggystyle to his 2022 pet accessory brand Snoop Doggie Doggs, he's embraced canine culture with pride. 

In 2021, he co-hosted the Puppy Bowl with Martha Stewart. A year later, he promoted his Cali Rosé wine in Australia with miniature billboards placed in dog parks.

Juelz's death closes a chapter in Snoop's life. His tribute wasn't just about a dog-it was about family, loyalty, and loss. 

For fans, it was a rare glimpse at the softer side of a rapper who's spent decades shaping hip-hop culture. They shared in the memories on Snoop's comments.

"10 years for a frenchie is amazing, I bet he had the dopest life," commented a Instagram user.

Another fan knew exactly what Snoop was feeling and express it. They commented, "I understand how you feel I just lost my fur baby Lyric yesterday I got lyric when she was one month old I had to bottlefeed her and in November she would have been 17. It's very hard to lose someone so close she was my fur baby and I miss her like crazy just yesterday I witnessed her taking her last breath, I miss her so much."

Dave Blunts is ready to escalate his issues with 50 Cent to a rap battle over Kanye West.

Joining the many men with 50 Cent issues, the new rap star drops a snippet of his diss track via social media on Saturday (June 14). In the 41-second preview, Dave calls 50 Cent a "fall off," claims his baby mama is pissed off, and mentioned 50 being shot nine times in 2000. 

Dave Blunts raps, "Why the fuck 50 Cent talking that shit when he know that his BM get pissed on?" 

Before the diss track, Dave Blunts recently contributed to Kanye West's anticipated WW3 album. Blunts shared previews of reference tracks across social media as the album has yet to be released. 

Never one to shy away from beef. However, 50 Cent has not yet responded to Blunt's diss track. 50 is currently overseas on his Legacy tour with concerts in England, Germany, France, and Switzerland.

Social media has shared mixed comments on the preview track, ranging from enjoyment to disappointment to ridicule. "He can't spar with 50. He don't know what he just started lmaooo," commented an X user under No Jumper's tweet. 

Recognizing 50's history with hip-hop beef, another user added: "He left himself wide open...@50cent don't play fair."

Disappointed by the snippet, an X user claimed 50 will not be concerned by it, tweeting, "This shit so trash 50 gonna laugh his ass off."

Other fans expressed fear for Dave Blunts' safety. "Protect Dave at all costs," tweeted a fan, while another wrote, "Dave Blunts messing with the wrong one.."

Kanye West hasn't publicly acknowledged Blunts' snippet yet. However, fans acknowleged Dave's loyalty to artist now known as Ye Ye. "Dissing 50 for his loyalty to Ye," tweeted a fan shortly after the preview was shared on social media.

Over the weekend, 50 Cent showed attention to attorney Gloria Allred, who is being investigated by the California State Bar following former clients' revelations.

From the booth to the film set, Stormzy adds acting to his resume. 

On June 12, AllHipHop reports the UK grime heavyweight dropped two bombshells: his acting debut and the launch of his new production house, #Merky Films. First up from the label is "Big Man," a short film teased on his Instagram and shot entirely on an iPhone 16 Pro, in partnership with Apple.

In the film, Stormzy steps into the role of Tenzman, a washed-up rap star trying to figure life out after the spotlight fades. Directed by Oscar-winner Aneil Karia, Stormzy's debut digs deep. 

It's not just a movie-it's a soul check. Tenzman runs into two kids, Klevis and Tyrell, and that spark sends him on a journey to rediscover purpose, pride, and peace.

Stormzy's always been about more than bars. He called music his "first love," but film? That's his "second." 

He created #Merky Films to tell authentic British stories, especially the ones that no one else is telling. He wants to put overlooked voices on the front street and make space for the next wave.

According to Stormzy, Big Man is about the wild, fearless energy of being young. That feeling when the world feels wide open. He said the film is for dreamers, for people who still move with heart. It drops June 18 on YouTube.

This is just one piece of his growing empire. He's already making noise with #Merky Books, which amplifies new Black British authors, and #Merky FC, which boosts underrepresented talent in football. Word is, Stormzy also inked a Netflix deal and has a slate of projects in the works.

With #Merky Films, the South London star's not just acting-he's curating culture. Stormzy's proving he's more than a mic. He's building a legacy across screens, stadiums, and bookstores.

His vision? Real stories, real people, real impact.

Stormzy would share a lengthy message to his fans on Instagram while promoting the film, hoping they enjoy it as much as he did making it. "I hope you love Big Man as much as we loved making it," he captioned the post. "It captures the joy, the spirit and the fearless energy of youth and I hope it inspires you to dream big."

Anthony Edwards has intensified his legal feud with ex-girlfriend Ayesha Howard.

The NBA superstar is asking a judge to force Howard to turn over personal messages she exchanged with his other ex, Alexandria Desroches. Edwards filed the request on June 9, claiming Howard failed to meet a court deadline to submit key documents as their child support case continues.

The 23-year-old shooting guard demands records of any messages between Howard, 37, and Desroches sent after the October 2024. He also seeks invoices for unpaid medical bills, utility statements, receipts for childcare and household costs, and documentation of Howard's income. Edwards wants proof that Howard's request for $5,000 monthly support is justified and is asking for transparency about any gifts or public assistance she receives.

The case stems from dueling paternity filings-Howard in California, Edwards in Georgia. He argues Howard never lived in California and filed there to secure a higher support judgment.

His legal team accused her of manipulating the system. Howard maintains she now lives in California and submitted alleged texts from Edwards into evidence. Included among the text is a response from Edwards to her pregnancy announcement with: "Ok lol. Get da abortion lol."

A California judge recently ruled child support would not be determined in that state, favoring Edwards. Howard responded by filing a motion to reconsider, submitting more evidence to prove her residency. Edwards' attorneys then alleged Howard planned the pregnancy using ovulation tracking apps, calling it a scheme to collect support.

Howard hit back, calling the accusation "disturbing." She accused Edwards of removing a condom without her consent. The allegation has not been addressed in court.

A child support order remains unruled. Edwards isn't seeking custody or visitation. 

Edwards faces a separate legal fight with Desroches, also known as Ally D, over their son. He is trying to move that case from New York to Georgia.

Reneé Rapp isn't afraid to deliver sly comments on Tory Lanez and Drake during her interview with Ziwe.

The 24-year-old entertainer spoke freely on topics regarding the 6 God and Lanez's recent stabbing incident. A known advocate for Megan Thee Stallion, Rapp gave her honest opinion when asked by the popular comedian and interviewer.

When asked about Tory Lanez being stabbed in prison, Rapp replied: 

"I feel like a lot of people get stabbed, and that's okay. Maybe we should be doing it more. Shiv in the pocket." 

Her comments sparked debate across social media, especially given Lanez's current sentence. Last year, she collaborated with Megan on a Mean Girls soundtrack single. 

Lanez is serving 10 years for shooting Megan Thee Stallion in 2020, a case that divided hip-hop and highlighted deep-rooted issues around misogynoir and accountability. From the start, Rapp has taken a firm stance in support of Megan and has expressed unwavering disdain for Lanez.

Reneé Rapp's comments about Drake may have taken casual fans by surprise. When Ziwe asked Rapp about Drake's support for Tory Lanez, she delivered another unapologetic response that included a mention of Kendrick Lamar. Asked about Drake's decision to sign a petition calling for Lanez's release, Rapp didn't hesitate. 

"That's so tired. I love Kendrick Lamar," she said. 

The petition, which included several celebrity signatures, drew heavy criticism for appearing to excuse Lanez's actions and minimize the impact on Megan.

Rapp's would clarify her comments towards Lanez and Drake as being a full-fledged Megan Thee Stallion supporter. She is ready for all the smoke when it comes to the Hot Girl. 

"I'm a true Meg supporter," Rapp said. "I hate that other man. I love Megan Thee Stallion. If anybody tries her over that sorry man, it's a do-or-die fight for me."

Ziwe described her interview with Reneé Rapp as "her most iconic interview yet." Based on the interview's comments, fans seemed to love the interview. 

"I really thought Renee was immune to Ziwe til we got to the black friends question and baby crumbled. Brilliant episode," commented a YouTube user. 

Another fan shared that Rapp's interview with Ziwe was necessary. They commented: "The people need Renee & Ziwe in a time like this."

Many comments hope that more celebrities will be as unapologetic on  future episodes of Ziwe. "I really hope more people talk some real shit on this show like she did. This is delicious," while another wrote, "The amount of untoppable forces you've brought into this studio this season???"

Jordan Brand's Quai 54 apparel collection returns for 2025, bringing the high-octane energy of French motorsports to Paris' iconic streetball tournament. Known globally for its one-of-a-kind celebration of basketball, culture, and music, Quai 54 has become more than a tournament.

This year's apparel lineup leans hard into racing aesthetics, delivering gear that feels fast, fierce, and rooted in competition. From top to bottom, the drop delivers. The full tracksuit, available in black with yellow detailing, feels ready for the tunnel or the podium.

The inspiration? A blend of speed and swagger. Think luxury car logos, bold graphics, and heat-pressed patches. It's Jordan Brand reimagined through the lens of Formula 1. The standout detail is the encircled Jumpman, styled like a racing badge.

It's lightweight but built for movement, making it perfect for warmups or streetwear flexes. Matching shorts add a vibrant edge with red paneling and the Quai 54 "Q" logo stitched front and center. Graphic tees in this collection keep things clean with racing typography and bold Quai branding, while the white hoodie hits a balance between sporty and street.

Subtle hits of red and yellow make every piece pop. Photos from the drop show how these pieces come together. From clean monochrome fits to bold color-blocked combos, this release keeps Jordan Brand's summer tradition alive, just with a turbocharged new theme.

The Anuel AA x Reebok "Sport Love" collection is the latest entry in the Latin trap star's ongoing "Soy Leyenda" trilogy. Following the "Self Love" drop, this new capsule doubles down on Anuel's bold, moto-inspired style while weaving in deeply personal touches.

The shoes and apparel channel his love for sport, street culture, and Puerto Rican pride, all without losing that chrome-heavy attitude that's become his trademark. This second installment builds off Reebok's BB 4000 II Mid and ERS World Runner.

Both pairs mix white leather with black suede, chrome panels, and aggressive orange hits. But the storytelling runs deeper. You'll find nods to Anuel's past, like the hidden Puerto Rican flag, "Pedazo de mi corazón" stitched into the heels, and unique sockliners with custom art.

Even the apparel pieces, like the chain-detailed long sleeve and moto-striped sweatpants, feel like part of a uniform built for the stage and the streets. Anuel isn't new to translating his story into wearable art.

Since his prison release in 2018 and the debut of "Real Hasta la Muerte," he's used everything from albums to outfits. "Sport Love" continues that legacy. The sneakers drop June 20 on Reebok.com, with full sizing and matching gear.

The BB 4000 II Mid features black and white leather with hairy suede overlays, silver accents, and pops of neon orange throughout.

Chrome Reebok and Anuel branding hits the midfoot, with stitched phrases like "Pedazo de mi corazón" on the heel. Also inside, a hidden Puerto Rican flag and custom sockliners add depth.

Further, the ERS World Runner carries the same palette with breathable mesh uppers, 3D-printed graphics, and a black midsole with orange window detailing.

A flaming heart icon appears on the heel, matching the capsule's theme. Both pairs reflect Anuel's personal style: aggressive, flashy, and grounded in legacy.

Sneaker Bar Detroit reports that the Anuel AA x Reebok "Sport Love" Collection will release on June 20th, 2025. Also, the retail price of the sneakers will be $100-120 when they drop.

It's honestly hard to ignore what Loe Shimmy is doing now as the Florida rapper is versatile with a unique sound. It borrows from the likes of Kodak Black, especially in the vocal delivery department. But outside of that, the Pompano Beach native is a one-of-one kind of talent.

It comes from his ability to pen these track that really blur the lines between R&B and rap as he tends to opt for moody and atmospheric instrumentals. They almost always have this melodic quality to them, lending Loe Shimmy to sing/rap his way through them.

Just listen to the remix of his popular track "For Me" that brings along one of his many co-signers. Brent Faiyaz. You'll see what we mean.

But Loe is back on that energy with his latest offering, "Kill The Scene." It arrives amidst a prolific stretch of singles that includes "Juice Wrld," "Dirty Money," "Free Shmurk," and more.

"Kill The Scene" finds Loe auto crooning about a girl that he's got his mind and heart set on. However, he also dishes on his grind, fake friends, and fame. "Won't give up, you get up and keep tryin' (Keep tryin') / It ain't on me, lil' n****, it's in me (Yeah)," he raps, for example.

It's another catchy cut from Loe, and one that we figure will hit hard on tour. He's currently in the middle of assisting Lil Baby on his accompanying tour for WHAM.

Fans came to know Chrisean Rock for her tumultuous relationship with Blueface, but when she got out of jail back in September, she appeared to be over him for good. Amid her newfound freedom, she revealed that she was committed to focusing on her faith, family, and career instead of the "Thotiana" rapper moving forward. She appeared to keep her word too, at least for a few months.

Chrisean even popped out with a new man, NCAA star Tytan Newton, back in April. They went their separate ways shortly after, and in May, she was spotted with another new love interest. Now, however, she's set on spinning the block.

In a video that surfaced earlier this week, she admitted that she wants Blueface back, and is simply waiting for his go-ahead to come back home. "I'm coming back home, me and the baby. I miss you. Just waiting on your call, I love you. And I'm sorry for everything and I'm going to make up for everything, I promise," she said.

In another video, she explained that she doesn't care about what other people have to say, and that she wants to work things out with her family. "I'm gonna work it out with my family, okay!" she declared. Through all the b***s**t. F*** everybody else for real, cause everybody just everybody." 

Of course, the confession earned big reactions from fans, as many believe she and Blueface are much better apart. It also looks like the Los Angeles performer might not be on the same page as the Baddies star based on his mother's response to the news.

"Don't yall say sh*t about my son [laughing emoji]," she wrote in the Hollywood Unlocked Instagram comments section. "He don't even know this going on today."

Blueface has yet to publicly respond to Chrisean's latest claims.

Will Smith made a shocking but welcome return to hip-hop earlier this year with his first album almost 20 years to the day. That project we are referring to is his March 28 release, Based on a True Story. Leading up to its arrival, the Fresh Prince put out five singles.

Those included "First Love," "Beautiful Scars," "Work Of Art," "You Can Make It," and "Tantrum." His comeback album also had a stacked and modern feature list as well. His son Jaden, Teyana Taylor, Russ, Big Sean, Joyner Lucas, and Fridayy were the headliners.

But now that Will Smith has some creative momentum going, he's making sure it doesn't go to waste. That's where "Pretty Girls" comes into play. It's a club ready track with a bouncy groove and contagious energy.

On the track, Will Smith hypes up the ladies while simultaneously promising them all the lives of their dreams. "I'm 'bout to do some investing / I spend it on you and your bestie / You and your twin on a jet-ski / I'll change your life if you let me," he raps.

The accompanying music video is also quite hilarious as Smith admits to a therapist that he finds all women attractive no matter their makeup. In falls in line with the single's bridge: "Vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, lemon / Alright, f*ck it, I like women / There it is, truth about me."

It's Smith just having a great time and there's nothing wrong with that. Check it out below.
