Rae Sremmurd’s Slim Jxmmi Battery Case Dropped
Slim Jxmmi is clear from battery charges. TMZ reported Wednesday that the “Black Beatles” rapper’s battery case was dropped after his girlfriend, Kiara, recanted her story.
According to police, Kiara walked back on her allegations and would no longer cooperate with authorities. As a result, prosecutors in Florida say they don’t have a good faith basis to file any battery charges against the 30-year-old rapper.

DaBaby and NBA YoungBoy Collab Album Sets March 4 Release Date
DaBaby and NBA YoungBoy have been growing their catalog together within the last year with songs such as “Jump,” “Thug of Spades,” and their most recent hits, “Bestie” and “Hit.” It has been previously announced that the pair are gearing up to release a collab album together.
During an interview in 2019, DaBaby named NBA YoungBoy one of his favorite rappers to the Rap Pack Podcast. “I know he don’t get the credit he deserves for his music because of the stigma that’s around him. I just listened to his last project and he’s like crazy talented,” DaBaby stated at the time.
Ahead of the upcoming project, it is rumored that the two will be releasing another single titled “Neighborhood Superstar.” It’s safe to say NBA YOung Boy has been spending a lot of time in the studio while on house arrest. Just a day ago, the rapper released an on-the-spot diss track to Lil Durk titled “I Hate Youngboy,” where the rapper took shots at Lil Durk and a few of his loved ones, hours after the Chicago native released his single “AHHH HA.”
DaBaby and NBA YoungBoy may be two of the industry’s most hated at this point, so a collab album from the two comes right on time. The album Better Than You will release on all streaming platforms on March 4th. Check out the artwork for the project below.

Kelly Rowland Reveals “Like a Boy” Was Originally Written for Her
Kelly Rowland has had a long run in the music industry as we have watched her emerge from the dynamic girl group Destiny’s Child to a rising solo artist with hits such as “Lay it on Me,” “Kisses Down Low,” “ICE” and more.
Just last year, after releasing her single “Coffee,” Rowland would sign a management deal with Roc Nation. “It just really happened to work and it’s working out really well so far. My team, I have a great team. It’s not to say I didn’t have a great team before, had a great team before. You evolve, you move on and that’s really it and Roc Nation is home now.”
In a recent interview, Rowland revealed that Ciara’s “Like a Boy” was originally written for her after being asked if Destiny Child had a song given to someone else. “Not that I know of that I know of. That’s happened to me personally and I didn’t find out till much later,” Rowland stated. “‘Like a Boy,’ that was Ciara’s, was actually written for me.”
“Funny enough, she is honestly one of the closest things to me. We bonded over motherhood. I wonder if she knows that,” she continued. “I’ll make sure to call her after this. But yeah, it was so funny. I found that out later and I was like, ‘Wait, what?’ The writers and producers told me and they were like, ‘Yeah, we wrote that in your session.’ I was like, ‘No, you didn’t.’ I was so mad. But now I’m happy for my girl.”
While Rowland may have had the single first, there is no doubt that Ciara’s vocals and performance brought the song to life. Ciara released “Like a Boy” in 2006. Her music visual for the single was nominated in 2007 for “Best Choreography” at MTV’s VMAs and “Video of the Year” at the BET Awards.

Lil Durk Denies Putting Pete Davidson on Upcoming Album: “I Don’t Even Play Like That”
Earlier this month, Chicago native Lil Durk announced that he would be releasing his highly anticipated album, 7220, on the 22nd of February, the same day that Kanye West would release Donda 2. However, rather than dropping the entire album, Durk released a single from the 20 track album titled “AHHH HA” and updated the release date to March 11th.
Many believed that Durk wanted to go head to head with his fellow Chicago brother until Kanye announced that he would not be releasing his music through streaming services. He would release his music through a STEM player to receive his rewards in full. With Lil Durk adjusting the release date, rumors sparked on social media that Pete Davidson would be featured on West’s album.
Pete Davidson is rumored to be dating Kanye West’s ex-wife, Kim Kardashian. The two have been unleashing their inner petty towards each other on different platforms.
“Lil Durk has Pete Davidson featured on his album [laughing emoji] peak troll,” a Twitter user posted. Usually, Durk doesn’t clear up rumors but took the time to address this one on his story with the caption, “This a lie I don’t even play like that plus Ye want to do an album together [smiling emoji with sunglasses].”
Durk has clearly shown his loyalty to his fellow Chi-Town brother, which picking sides in the industry has frequently been happening these days. Would you be here for a Durk and Ye collab album?
