Lala Kent Expertly Trolls Randall Emmett With Edited 50 Cent Couples Photo
50 Cent and his girlfriend Cuban Link have been in a happy, healthy relationship for some time now. However, that definitely hasn’t stopped other women from expressing their interest in the media mogul. For instance, his former partner Vivica A. Fox recently told Sherri Shepherd on the latter’s talk show that she would consider reconciling with Fif, especially seeing how similar situations have worked out for stars like Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck. Elsewhere, the rapper’s former enemy Lala Kent shared a photoshopped image of them holding hands on her Instagram this afternoon (June 23) before quickly taking it down.
As Page Six notes, the Vanderpump Rules cast member edited a throwback photo of Curtis Jackson on her ex-fiancé, Randall Emmett’s head. “Aw,” she wrote in the captioned of the now-deleted post that sees the couple holding hands, Lala also holding their baby. Kent didn’t specifically explained what led her to troll her ex with his nemesis, but it likely won’t be long before the truth comes out.

Lala Kent Pokes Fun at Randall Emmett with a Post and Delete
As you may recall, Fif previously put Emmett on blast over an alleged $1 million loan in 2019. “Money by Monday,” the Power producer demanded at the time, which has since lived on in pop culture infamy. Seeing as the “Hate It Or Love It” hitmaker is an expert himself at throwing shade and trolling on social media, we wouldn’t be surprised to see him react to Kent’s short-lived post over the coming days.
Today’s unexpected, albiet hilarious, 50 Cent photoshop post certainly isn’t the only time Lala Kent has used social media to shade her ex-fiancé. In fact, back in December 2021 she posted a sex toy ad to her online platform in which she suggested Emmett’s performance in the bedroom was far from adequate during their relationship. Read what the reality starlet had to say about that at the link below, and make sure to check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Boosie Badazz Had Bond Doubled Before Jail Release
Boosie Badazz left a San Diego jail on June 23 after making bond on the federal felony gun charges he was facing. Boosie celebrated by live streaming and asking for tickets to the BET Awards. However, the moment was the end of a long ordeal for the rapper.
Prosecutors appealed a $50K bond granted to Boosie on June 20. Boosie called this decision discriminatory, stating that the prosecutor was “racist and has evil intentions.” Calling on “prayer warriors” to descend on San Diego, Booise expressed fear that someone was trying to keep him behind bars.
Unfortunately for Boosie, the appeal was upheld and the rapper was issued a modified bond on June 23. While that did not prevent him from leaving jail, it did set him back double what he was due to pay just three days prior.

Boosie Released On $100K Bond
Per TMZ, Boosie’s new bail was set at $100K. The new bail is double the original amount. Increased bond amounts typically relate to a higher risk that an individual poses to the wider community.
Despite this, Bossie claims that the prosecution “showed no evidence of me being a flight risk or a danger to the community.” This appears to reinforce the rapper’s notion that for some reason, the prosecution were eager to keep him behind bars.
While he is out of jail, the gun charges still remain. It’s unknown when Boosie will have to return to court on the charges. However, his attorney claims that her client is innocent and looks forward to seeing the federal charges thrown out. Boosie was initially arrested for the federal charges on the same day that state charges against him were dismissed.

YNW Melly Murder Trial Gets Another Twist
Before finding himself in jail, Boosie had been helping the defense team representing rapper YNW Melly. Melly is facing a double murder charge and has had a very memorable trial so far.
However, the latest twist came not from the rapper, but from the prosecution. They allege that Melly had texted his mother, asking her to buy him a firearm. “Get a Glock ASAP…Like go now” YNW urged her. “Ok, what’s wrong? I got your .45,” she wrote back. “I just don’t want no illegal gun. Well dats not illegal,” the recording artist responded. He also added that he wanted a “Glock 40 or 19” in subsequent texts.
While the trial is ongoing, many believe that it is heading south for the rapper. He could face up to life in prison for the charges if found guilty. However, that is a developing story and any updates will be found here on HotNewHipHop.

YK Osiris Shares “Dear Fans” Song Snippet After Sukihana Incident
YK Osiris caught himself in a lot of hot water for forcibly kissing Sukihana, and debate ensued as to whether he deserves the onslaught of backlash that came. Since video of the interaction went viral, she said that she accepts his apology as some fans completely cut him off or saw this as the end of the story. However, it seems like the Jacksonville native wants to share a more elaborate testimony when it comes to the hate he received. Moreover, he recently shared a snippet on Instagram of an upcoming new song titled “Dear Fans.” In it, the lyrics reflect feeling lonely, like people are preying on his downfall too much, and that he found himself very caught up emotionally in all that’s happened.
To be fair, these are emotions that he’s often expressed on social media for reactions unrelated to the Sukihana drama. Still, the context of that hangs over this song like a cloud. What’s important in that situation is YK Osiris’ own accountability, not how he may react to fans afterwards. That being said, it’s all about execution, and response to wrongdoing is just as telling as the act itself.

Furthermore, the most recent person to chime in on those conversations around YK Osiris was Fivio Foreign. “Just as a Black man in America and how our Black women are portrayed, you always got to be delicate. So you just got to read the room,” the New York MC told Hollywood Unlocked. “Now, I don’t want to put another Black man down, but I feel for her and I got daughters.”
Meanwhile, Osiris shared another apology to the “Love & Hip Hop: Miami” star recently, and also said that fans “put him in his place.” Unfortunately, this situation also prompted other accusations to come forward, which as of writing this article haven’t prompted legal action. Considering his past controversies of assault, he has many demons to battle. Hopefully he and Sukihana are on the path to healing in their own ways. For more news and the latest updates on YK Osiris, come back to HNHH.

ASAP Rocky’s Track “Praise The Lord” Featuring Skepta Hits 1 Billon Spotify Streams
ASAP Rocky’s 2018 track alongside English artist Skepta, “Praise The Lord (Da Shine),” has reached a new streaming milestone. The song, which appears on ASAP Rocky’s album Testing, has officially hit 1 billion streams on Spotify according to UK Rap Daily. Listeners clearly dig the collab, which features vocals and production from the UK artist. Following it’s release, the track quickly became a fan favorite. The duo also dropped a ’90s-inspired accompanying music video to the song in June of 2018.
Following the release of the collaboration, ASAP Rocky discussed how the track was created. He revealed that the pair were tripping on acid while they worked on the track, giving listeners some insight to the experimental bars. “We was all in London at my spot,” he began the story, “Skeppy came through.” He continued, telling Genius, “I have this psychedelic professor, he studies in LSD. I had him come through and kinda record and monitor us to actually test the product while being tested on. We did the rhymes all tripping balls bro. N***as was high.”

“Praise The Lord (Da Shine)”
Aside from the recent streaming feat, ASAP Rocky also got fans talking this week when he appeared to hint at another major milestone. Rihanna attended his Cannes performance earlier this week, where the rapper referred to her as his wife. “I’d like to dedicate this song to my beautiful wife in the motherf*cking building!,” he said during the show. However, a report by RadarOnline last month claimed the couple have no plans to tie the knot any time soon. “Rocky would get married tomorrow if Rihanna would agree — but she doesn’t see the sense in it!” a source claiming to be close to the couple revealed.
According to reports, “Rihanna knows if they decided to marry, she would need a team of lawyers to work months on a prenup.” The source continued, adding, “Frankly, she doesn’t have the stomach for it.” They went on to report that, “Rocky insists he loves Rihanna unconditionally and isn’t after her money — and she believes him. But she’s no fool when it comes to cash.”

Jim Jones Seemingly Accused No Malice Of Using Crack Cocaine On A Snippet Of An Apparent Diss Track
Jim Jones has responded to Pusha T‘s alleged diss track aimed at him. The two have been thought to have been feuding since April, when Jones questioned Push’s position on Billboard and VIBE‘s 50 Greatest Rappers Of All Time list. Today (June 24) a clip of the Dipset founding member surfaced online, featuring him laying down vengeful bars in a booth.
In the clip, he makes clear allusions to Push and The Clipse, and even accuses Push of offering crack cocaine to his brother and fellow Clipse member, No Malice.
“That last sh*t you dropped, that sh*t was garbage, take that sh*t back / Plus you got your brother up, what you tryna bring The Clipse back? / Talking about your brother, what happened to that boy? / It’s looking like you were selling crack to that boy,” Jones raps.

This no-bars-held snippet comes days after Pusha T previewed an alleged Jones diss track by The Clipse at Pharrell Williams’ first Louis Vuitton show as creative director in Paris. On the track, Push accuses Jones of trying to be friendly with Drake in order to get a guest verse from him.
“Beware of my name, that there’s delegate / You know I know where you’re delicate / Crush you to pieces, I’ll hum a breath of it / I will close your heaven for the hell of it / You think it’d be valor amongst veterans / I’m watching your fame escape relevance / We all in a room but here’s the elephant / You chasing a feature out of your element,” raps Push.
