The love is real between Lil Uzi Vert and City Girls star JT. The pair have often with tacked with criticisms from strangers on the internet, but they’ve maintained their romance despite recent controversies, including Uzi’s ex who claims the rapper assaulted her. Over the weekend, Uzi celebrated his birthday in style and JT helped make sure it was one to remember by gifting her boyfriend a custom, matte black Cadillac Escalade.

“Thank You… MOMMYYYYYY!!!!!! @thegirljt I really love it I was so overwhelmed because nobody buys me anything that I need or even pay attention that much,” he wrote in the caption to a brief clip of his new whip.

“THE BEST!! Thanks for always looking out for me,” he continued. JT took to Twitter to share a glimpse of the interior that included floor mats with a drawing of her that mimicked his Lil Uzi Vert vs. The World cover art. “I make everything about me why I put myself in this man sh*t Go to hell hoe fr!” JT tweeted about making sure she remained with Uzi, even while he was driving.

On Instagram, JT continued showing love to her man for his big day. “You are welcome papaaaa & deserve this! I wanna piss you off & be the reason you smiling forever!!! I love you happy birthday Lil Uzi happy birthday.” Check out the ride below.

An NFL player has been caught in the crossfire of controversy after his girlfriend’s racist tweets have come back to haunt both of them. San Francisco 49ers star Nick Bosa has caused a stir over his support of former President Donald Trump and his stance on the COVID-19 vaccine, and while many have dismissed his incendiary remarks, they weren’t letting comments from his girlfriend Jenna Berman go ignored.

Those old tweets have been known to bite people in the behind and Jenna is feeling the wrath of the internet. Several have been shared, including one that reads, “I swear to you I’m a n*gger magnet… [crying laughing emojis].”

Many of Jenna’s tweets showed she was quite comfortable saying the n-word in both its “er” and “a” forms, including calling people “f*ck nggas” and “b*tch n*ggas.” The tweets were reportedly fired off for years between 2013 to 2016 when Jenna was a teenager, but people aren’t letting her get a free pass just because she was a minor at the time. 

Currently, Jenna calls herself a social media influencer and the controversy has been so severe that she’s deleted her Twitter altogether. The public is curious as to how the 49ers will handle this scandal considering the messages didn’t specifically come from one of their players. However, some have suggested that Bosa is aware of his girlfriend’s behavior.

December 2019 was devastating for the loved ones of Juice WRLD after they were hit with the tragic news that the beloved rapper had passed away. He was an artist on a monumental journey into superstardom at the time of his death and after it was shared that Juice died from an overdose, several of his famous friends vowed to quit hard drugs.

Juice WRLD’s loved ones have continued his legacy through various efforts, and now his girlfriend, Ally Lotti, has sat down with No Jumper for a lengthy interview where she detailed being pregnant by the rapper. “It was three separate times,” she said, retelling her story that she previously shared last year. “Because of stress, because of everything going on, there was obviously different complications with different ones.”

She recalled learning of a miscarriage and being “so distraught” that she walked into her hotel and “sat on the floor.” She added that she wasn’t even aware of her surroundings and “just went into like a—I don’t know.” Adam22 wanted to know if she’s thought about how different her life would be if she had children.

“When it comes to kids I was always like I want to make sure my child had a father,” she said after discussing her relationship with her dad. “I never wanted a child until Jared was like, ‘No, this is what’s happening.’ It wasn’t like, a choice, it was like this is what’s happening… I was like, ‘Whatever you say, king. Literally.”

Lotti also stated that if children were what was needed for Juice to “slow down,” she was willing to start a family. Watch the clip of her interview below.

She recently received a public apology from her ex DDG and now Rubi Rose is speaking about why she isn’t enthusiastic about dating someone in the entertainment industry. Rubi is among the several artists included in this year’s XXL Freshman class, and despite the hate she has received from certain social media users, the rapper’s star has continued to shine. Rose has been steadfast in trying to prove her naysayers wrong, but as her career has progressed, her love life has also been a topic of discussion.

Rubi and DDG’s romance has been a staple of controversy and while it seems to be over, he recently took a jab at her online. He later followed up with an apology and when Rubi visited 99Jamz, Supa Cindy wanted to know what she’s learned from her past relationships.

“Keep it off the internet,” she said before repeating herself. “Moving forward, I’m going to do so.” Cindy wanted to know if Rubi would date another person in the industry. “I wanna say no, ’cause mostly like rappers and n*ggas in this industry are just habitual cheaters, but it’s like, it’s hard to meet people outside of this industry because I don’t be out… Other people don’t understand the lifestyle.”

Rappers have had notorious reputations for infidelities and some people believe when you’re dating an artist, it comes with the territory. Check out the clip of Rubi’s interview below.

The Delta variant of COVID-19 is ravaging communities and it’s reported that over 21,000 new cases of the virus have been confirmed in Florida alone, but it’s the summer so people aren’t giving up their festivals and vacations. There are still arguments between anti-vaxxers and those who have received the COVID-19 vaccine, and altercations over wearing masks continue to take over social media timelines. Actor Michael Jai White recently revealed that his family suffered a tragedy in the pandemic after his 38-year-old son passed away from COVID-19 just a few months ago.

During an interview with VladTV, the actor asked about how many children he had from previous relationships before his wife. He had to take a moment to think about it because he doesn’t see his children as being separate just because they come from different mothers. As Vlad attempted to tally up the total, the actor told him that they needed to “subtract one” following the death of his son.

White revealed he was just 15-years-old when his son, his eldest child, was born. “Unfortunately, the street element was still part of his life growing up,” said White. “He was in the hospital for a while so it wasn’t immediate. Unfortunately, he was still kinda out there in the streets hustling, wasn’t doing well, started getting on substances. He’d come out, go back in, all that type of stuff.”

The actor said he did what he could for his son but “ultimately, it’s up to that person, especially if it’s a grown person.” The street life was “his thing” and said when his son got sick and was admitted to the hospital, “COVID was waiting for him… That was the knockout blow.” The substance abuse reportedly made his “system compromised” and while his death was tragic, he left behind six children.

We may be entering a new week, but the conversations about DaBaby’s repeated controversial comments have followed. The world has borne witness to the North Carolina’s recent scandal that launched due to his homophobic remarks at Rolling Loud Miami and continued with his subsequent apologies. He made remarks about his gay fans not having HIV/AIDS because they aren’t “junkies” and later, defended himself by stating that his soul isn’t for sale and he should have the “freedom” to express his opinions just like anyone else.

After confidently declaring his “icon” status and suggesting that he was unmoved by the criticisms and “Cancel Culture,” DaBaby’s antics caused him to be axed from festivals including the Governor’s Ball New York, Lollapalooza, and Day N Vegas. DaBaby returned with an apology where he suggested he should have been met with “education” rather than cancelation.

“I appreciate the many people who came to me with kindness, who reached out to me privately to offer wisdom, education, and resources,” the rapper wrote. “That’s what I needed and it was received. I want to apologize to the LGBTQ+ community for the hurtful and triggering comments I made. Again, I apologize for my misinformed comments about HIV/AIDS and I know education on this is important. Love to all. God bless.”

The public hasn’t been so forgiving. Those who stood by DaBaby throughout the controversy have remained steadfast, but this latest apology has further agitated his detractors. Some believe that he’s only issuing a statement of regret because of his consequences while others have brought up his past scandals. Some of his supporters, like Boosie Badazz, have issued attacks against the LGBTQIA+ community as many are just reay for the controversy to end.

Check out a few reactions below.

In just a few weeks, we’ll be marking 20 years since Aaliyah passed away. The beloved singer was just 22-years-old with a career that hadn’t even peaked yet when she, along with several others, died in a plane crash as they departed the Bahamas. A new biography about the singer by Kathy Iandoli titled Baby Girl: Better Known as Aaliyah chronicles Aaliyah’s life and in it, an alleged witness of her final moments claims she didn’t want to board the flight.

Kingsley Russell was 13 when his family was running a taxi company on the islands and claims it was his mother who drove Aaliyah to the airport. The singer had just finished filming the music video for her hit track “Rock The Boat” and everyone was excited to make the flight back to Miami.

“They took her out of the van; she didn’t even know she was getting boarded on a plane,” Russell stated.“She went on the airplane asleep.” Aaliyah was reportedly uncomfortable after learning that the plane had exceeded its weight limit and was already anxious about flying. When she arrived and saw how small the aircraft was, it caused greater concern.

Russell added that to ease her fears, Aaliyah was allegedly given a sleeping pill and by the time they boarded the flight, Aaliyah was being carried onto the plane because she’d already fallen asleep. Not long after takeoff, the plane crashed near the end of the runway, killing all eight passengers and the pilot. It was later determined that the plane was overweight by hundreds of pounds and the pilot was under the influence of alcohol and cocaine and had reportedly faked his pilot’s license.

Baby Girl: Better Known as Aaliyah is slated to arrive on August 17. Pre-orders are available now.
