It seems that there aren’t many rappers out there who are more deserving of the XXL freshman title as much as Lakeyah– and now she’s proved it. In her first performance as part of the XXL freshman team, Lakeyah stunned with an impressive acapella freestyle and proved that she belongs among male XXL freshmen Pooh Shiesty and 42 Dugg. This new freestyle comes after a few high-profile collaborations with Young Bleu, City Girls, Coi Leray, and Trapboy Freddy. 

The Milwaukee rapper brought the heat to XXL studios for her freestyle, dropping bars against those who’ve doubted rapper: ““They told me stay hungry and stay consistent/I’m standin’ on n*****’ necks, I ain’t worried ’bout competition, I did it/Killin’ these bitches, I’m here for the life sentence.”

Lakeyah signed to Quality Control last year after a string of viral “Keymixes,” her own brand of remixes. Notable “Keymixes” include her verse on City Girl JT’s “First Day Out” and Lil Baby’s “We Paid”– which triggered Quality Control label head P to contact her.

Lakeyah joins Flo Milli, Pooh Shiesty, and 42 Dugg who have already had their freestyles released. Stay tuned for the upcoming group cyphers as well.

According to reports, police in Atlanta, Georgia are searching for a woman who allegedly stole over $1 million dollars worth of jewelry from her date while he was sleeping.

The two, who had reportedly just met, spent several hours with each other before heading back to a hotel. When they got to their room the man stored his jewelry in a safe and eventually fell asleep. When he got up he said he could hear the shower running in the bathroom so he presumed his date, who was not in the room with him, was in there. Instead however she had left hours earlier and stole all his things. 

“He assumed his date was taking a shower,” Sgt. Jarius Daugherty said. “But he looked over to see the safe open and all of his property gone.”

The man told police that his jewelry had a value of about $1 million, which FOX 5 Atlanta says he was able to document.

Police released images of the suspect, which you can see for yourself in the news clip (below). Police ask the public to be careful who to invite into a hotel and ask anyone with information on the suspect to contact the Atlanta Police Department.

After he shared a video of him completing a few pull-ups in the gym, rapper Jim Jones was clowned by the masses for seemingly skipping leg day. Vado, Gillie Da Kid, and others hopped into the comments to make fun of the New York hip-hop icon, telling him to focus more on his lower body for the rest of the week. The weatherman was clearly frustrated over how many comments he got about his legs so he decided to set up a new challenge, issuing it to anybody who dissed his legs in the last video.

“So I see all you guys talking shit about my legs,” said Jim Jones before showing his new challenge to the haters, asking them to pull off some deep one-legged squats. “Do this and I’ll shut the fuck up,” he said.

In the caption, the rapper chose violence, writing, “Lol so here a leg challenge for all th key haters wich happen to b 98 percent male my question is why u lookin at another mans legs so hard and I had my boxers on pause wrong wit u weirdos lol So for all th fake trainers and fitness people wit something to say just do this and I will Shut th fuck up lol @vamp.fitt Ps I know a lot of athletes who can’t do this no shade.”

Can you complete Jim Jones’ challenge? If you were dissing on his legs the other day, it’s time to step up to the plate and show that you’re not just a hater.
