Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson has been one of the most anticipated boxing matches of 2024. Fans have been chomping at the bit to see the social media personality throw down against one of the greatest boxers to ever lace up the gloves. Unfortunately, the chomping is going to continue. Tyson’s reps issued an official statement on May 31 claiming that the boxer fell ill during a flight to Los Angeles. The event is delayed as a result, with a new date slated to be announced the first week of June. Unless, of course, Logan Paul gets his wish.
Logan Paul has joined his brother in pivoting to boxing, and seized the opportunity to throw his hat in the ring after the delay. “So Mike Tyson’s out,” he wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “I’ll step in and we can settle this once and for all.” To further ham up the notion of a showdown between brothers, Logan Paul posted a pic of him and Jake dogging each other. It was a way to make light of the recent news. Despite Logan’s offer, Jake is taking the delay hard. He voiced his disappointment during an Instagram Live. “Obviously, devastating news,” he told his viewers. “I’m heartbroken, speechless. We’ve been working so hard over here. Everyone in this camp.”
Jake Paul went on express “I feel bad for everyone involved in this event. The whole undercard. This is an opportunity that’s been ripped from all of us.” Despite the logistical nightmare that the delay has caused, the internet personality maintained that Tyson’s health was most important. He also made it clear that he plans to fight Tyson whenever he gets the chance. “I do value Mike’s health first and foremost,” he said. “Love that guy, have so much respect for him. I want Mike to be healthy… He says he’s still gonna knock me out and I bought myself some time.” He then addressed Mike Tyson specifically, claiming he’s ready whenever the boxer is.
It sounds like Logan Paul is not going to get the replacement gig. It’s an ironic turn of events, since Logan claimed that he was initially offered the chance to fight Tyson. He discussed it on his podcast, and stated that he turned down the fight because he felt Tyson was too old. This led to a dispute between the two Paul brothers. Jake went on an Adin Ross Twitch stream and contradicted Logan’s claim. “I don’t know why he would say that,” he noted. “Like me and most valuable promotions and my partner Nikisa struck a deal with Netflix. Mike Tyson wasn’t offering people deals, so I don’t know what he’s talking about.”
Quavo is a prolific artist. He was the first member of Migos to step out and find solo success by working with the likes of Drake and Travis Scott. He even scored a number one single opposite Justin Bieber. The Atlanta rapper does not discriminate when it comes to collaborations. That being said, his latest collab is a bit of a surprise. Quavo posted a photo on Instagram of him working in the studio alongside the latest rap breakout, Ian. A controversial pick, but one that ultimately makes sense.
Quavo posted the photo on his Instagram Stories on May 30. The rapper doesn’t appear in it himself, but it looks as though he’s the one who snapped the image of Ian in the studio. Ian, who was born Ian O’Neill Smith (shocker, we know), can be seen laying down vocals. We even get to see the audio file of whatever song Quavo and Ian are working on in the background. The Migos rapper tagged Ian, suggesting the two are going to be dropping something very soon. Aesthetically, Quavo and Ian are worlds apart. Culturally as well, actually. It’s the style of Ian’s music, however, that’s going to make this potential collaboration interesting.
Ian takes inspiration from trap rap of the 2010s, including Gucci Mane, Chief Keef and yes, Migos. The rapper’s recent album, Valedictorian, has taken the world by storm, for reasons musical and otherwise. Fans have been impressed with Ian’s ability to emulate his musical idols, while critics have criticized him for being a watered-down imitation of people like Keef and Playboi Carti. It’s easy to see both sides. The collab between Quavo and Ian will help to legitimate the latter’s reputation within hip-hop, and may even lead to other high-profile collabs.
Quavo, meanwhile, is hard at work on his upcoming solo album. There hasn’t been any word on a title or a proper release date, but the Migos rapper has been dropping singles. “Himothy” and “Potato Loaded” were buzz singles that failed to generate much attention. Quavo has also teased multiple snippets and collabs with artists like Rich the Kid and Lana Del Rey. He’s also working on piecing together songs for Takeoff’s posthumous album. “I’m gathering a whole bunch of information, gathering a lot of producers, gathering a lot of my friends, a lot of the artists,” Quavo told Vibe in 2023. “And we’re going to make this album one of the craziest albums of all time.”
DJ Mustard is riding high right now. The producer just scored his first number one single with Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” and he recently welcomed his first child with his girlfriend, Brittany Stroud. He’s excelling in ways both professional and personal, but there still seems to be tension between Mustard and his ex-wife, Chanel Thierry. The latter, who has three children with Mustard, posted a message on Instagram on May 31, and many think it’s aimed at the West Coast legend.
Thierry used Instagram Threads to vent about someone is two-faced. “What really gets my gears going,” she wrote. “Is someone who will throw a rock behind closed doors but in public try to uphold a certain image.” No names, no tagged profiles. Fans quickly arrived at the conclusion that Chanel Thierry meant DJ Mustard. The former spouses have had a contentious relationship since their divorce was finalized. Thierry accused DJ Mustard of trying to gain custody of their children so that he didn’t have to pay child support during an IG rant.
You want to demolish my name!? It’s disgusting,” she publicly told Mustard. “The nerve to have me fighting for custody because you are so bitter and don’t want to pay [child support]. I sat in the house YEARS watching them kids while you toured the world.” She also claimed that the producer owed her child support, and refused to pay for co-parenting classes. DJ Mustard responded to these accusations in court. He filed paperwork that dismissed the unpaid child support claims outright.
“Chanel’s claim that I have starved her out financially since separation is a flat-out lie,” the producer’s paperwork read. “I continued to pay all of Chanel’s living expenses, including all of her credit card bills. I also continued paying Chanel’s housing costs and the children’s expenses including school tuition.” DJ Mustard is still embroiled in a custody battle with Thierry. He filed for sole custody of their oldest son in February. Radar Online reported that the producer wanted to keep a closer eye on his son’s education, and transfer him to a different school. No official rulings have been made.
Recently, Alfonso Ribeiro, famous for playing Carlton Banks in the ’90s sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, stirred controversy due to his tweet. Unlike his co-star Will Smith, Alfonso never really made it big on the big screen after his stint on the comedy TV series. He was mostly known for his dance moves on the show, which became dubbed “The Carlton” after his character. Alfonso took his dancing skills a level higher when he won the 19th season of Dancing With The Stars. He returned to the show as the co-host in Season 31 and continues in the role to this day. However, despite his success in DWTS, many feel he should have achieved much more.
During a recent chat with Closer Weekly, Alfonso spoke about his lack of roles on television. The actor revealed his career stalled after playing Carlton Banks. He revealed, “It was one of the greatest roles that I ever was fortunate enough to play, but it was also the role that stopped me from acting again because people couldn’t see me as anything else.” Following Alfonso’s revelations, a fan made a suggestion. The fan wrote, “@tylerperry needs to revamp @alfonso_ribeiro career, I just know he could.” However, the actor-dancer responded to the fan by writing, “I don’t need or ever want that man to do anything for me.”
Following the reaction, many fans wondered what could be going on between him and Tyler Perry. Some suggested there could be beef brewing between Alfonso and the mega-filmmaker, while others felt the producer had some skeletons in his cupboard, which the actor knew about. Hence, fans called on Alfonso to open up if he knew something about Tyler that the world doesn’t. Further, he is not the only person in the entertainment industry that has issues with Tyler. Many other celebrities have called the entertainment mogul out on different occasions. Here are five celebrities who have beef with Tyler Perry.
5. Tyler Perry Beef With Spike Lee
Despite being widely regarded as a significant figure in Black entertainment, Tyler Perry had his work called into question by legendary film director Spike Lee in 2009. During a discussion about Black art and entertainment, Lee emphasized the need for artists to have personal liberty. He went ahead to criticize creators like Perry for perpetuating negative stereotypes about Black Americans. He said producers like Tyler propagated racist ideas while exploiting the worst impulses of American audiences. Spike explained, “Each artist should be allowed to pursue their artistic endeavours, but I still think there is a lot of stuff out today that is ‘coonery buffoonery.’”
Tyler responded to Spike’s comments during an appearance on Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace. He expressed that such comments weren’t new to him. The movie producer said elitism was to blame for the criticisms against his Madea character. He also said the stories he tells in his works originated from his experiences growing up, especially when he spent time with his mom and her friends. Tyler further said his brand of entertainment was motivated by love. He explained per People, “So when someone says, ‘You’re harkening back to a point of our life that we don’t want to talk about it or we don’t want the world to see,’ you’re dismissing the stories of millions and millions of Black people.”
Tyler Perry’s beef with Spike Lee cooled off years later. In June 2022, Tyler attended the Tribeca Film Festival, where he told Gayle King that he named one of the sound stages at his Studio in Atlanta after Lee. Spike celebrated the honor Tyler accorded him in an Instagram post. He thanked Tyler and urged him to continue doing God’s work.
Katt Williams went viral in January 2024 following a three-hour interview with Shannon Sharpe on his Club Shay Shay podcast. During the interview, Katt didn’t mince words as he called out some of Hollywood’s biggest entertainers. Some of the people Katt slammed in the interview included Steve Harvey, Cedric Entertainer, and Diddy. Tyler Perry didn’t escape Katt’s wrath. Katt mentioned Tyler’s name while discussing his beef with comedian Rickey Smiley. Apparently, Katt isn’t a fan of Tyler portraying a female character, Madea. Katt sees Tyler and Rickey’s portrayal of female characters negatively and feels they sacrificed their dignity to dress as women. Hence, while speaking about his fallout with Rickey, Katt said Rickey and “Tyler Perry can’t play a man to save they life.”
That wasn’t the first time Katt expressed disdain for Tyler’s Madea character. Per BET, the comedian shared his opinion about Tyler during a special interview with Rock Rants. Katt was asked to describe celebrities like Oprah Winfrey, Justin Bieber, Anthony Anderson, and Drake. However, when Perry’s name came up, he referred to him as a “Drag Queen.” Meanwhile, Tyler has never responded to Katt’s remarks about him.
3. Dave Chappelle
Tyler Perry’s continued portrayal of Madea has earned him many critics. One person with longstanding issues with Tyler dressing like and playing a female character is comedian Dave Chappelle. Dave has never hidden his disdain for men playing women characters or dressing as women in movies. During a 2014 interview with GQ, the legendary comedian spoke about Tyler’s influence. He said, “I can’t see how my life is harder because Tyler Perry exists. You know? I mean, I can certainly debate the artistic merits of his movies or the lack thereof, but to me that’s almost an irrelevant conversation, because I’m more impressed with what he was able to achieve.” Despite not being a fan of Tyler’s work, Dave expressed that there was a place for him in Hollywood and commended him for reaching a different audience with his movies and TV shows.
Tyler responded to Dave’s criticism during an appearance on T.I.’s ExpediTIously podcast. He said, “Listen, Chappelle is one of the most brilliant people I have ever seen in my life. Not just in comedy, but the man is smart. A heavy, brilliant thinker.” Tyler went ahead to clarify that nobody forced him to play a woman character or wear a dress. He said, “Nobody makes me put it on. It was all on stage. Black man owned the whole show, it was my choice.” Tyler further expressed that he wasn’t a man who enjoyed wearing a dress. However, for him as an actor, it was a costume, and he was doing it to encourage people and make them laugh.
Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry have been friends for over a decade. However, rumors about a strain in their friendship emerged in March 2016. A source told the Daily Mail Oprah had difficulties working with Tyler. The source also claimed Oprah hated that Tyler couldn’t take constructive criticism. At the time of the reports, Tyler had three series running on Oprah’s OWNNetwork. The insider shared that Oprah suggested they hire more script writers to help develop Tyler’s shows, most especially The Have and the Have Nots. She went ahead to share with Tyler details of research from focus groups, whose general consensus was that the writing could improve significantly.
The source claimed that Tyler didn’t buy Oprah’s feedback and became defensive. Tyler reportedly told Oprah, “Aren’t the shows delivering ratings for the network? Well, then let me do what I do and you can keep your focus group research to yourself.” According to the insider, Oprah, who allowed Tyler to join her network after TBS didn’t renew his contract, reminded him of how important she was to him. The source revealed, “Oprah basically had to remind him, “You needed me as much as I needed you when we decided to do this partnership and don’t forget that.” The insider further shared that the disagreement led the Hollywood moguls to stop communicating as much as they did before.
However, after news of Winfrey and Perry’s beef made headlines, the former’s close friend, Gayle King, said it was false. Taking to Instagram, Gayle shared a screenshot of the Daily Mail article and captioned it, “Huh? Just reading @Oprah & @tylerperry are angry w/each other & not speaking if that’s true (it”ain’t”)must have just happened 10 min ago!” Tyler also slammed the rumors in a chat with Entertainment Tonight. He said, “It’s completely false. Nothing is accurate in the article except for my and Oprah’s names.”
1. Tyler Perry Beef With Mo’Nique
Tyler Perry’s beef with Mo’Nique began in 2009 after the film Precious was released in theaters. The movie was successful and earned Mo’Nique a Golden Globe and Academy Award. However, tensions existed between Mo’Nique and the movie’s producers, Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry, and director Lee Daniels. As part of efforts to promote the film, Mo’Nique was asked to appear at the Cannes Film Festival. However, being present at Cannes to promote Precious wasn’t part of Mo’Nique’s contract, and she wasn’t going to be paid for it. Hence, she refused to attend the film festival.
During a chat with The Hollywood Reporter, Mo’Nique opened up about the situation. She revealed that she told Winfrey, “Oprah, I’m doing a talk show. I’m doing a comedy tour. I have a husband and I have babies. I have a little bit of downtime and I’m going to take advantage of it. So I’m not going anywhere because I’m not obligated to go anywhere. I’ve done my part.” Mo’Nique further claimed that she was blackballed from the entertainment industry after she refused to promote the film without pay. Hence, she demanded an apology from Oprah and Tyler for their roles in stifling her career. She also claimed that Lee Daniels personally expressed regret about the way she was treated by producers.
In 2022, Mo’Nique had an interview with TS Madison and claimed Tyler promised to admit his wrongdoings to the public. However, Tyler reportedly didn’t keep to that promise. Despite Tyler’s no-show, Mo’Nique claimed she had an audio recording of her conversation with him in which he made the promise. Mo’Nique reignited her beef with Tyler Perry when she appeared on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay podcast in February 2024.
During the podcast, Mo’Nique opened up about her audio recording of Tyler, in which he admitted to spreading the rumor that she was difficult to work with. She lamented how the rumor made her lose millions of dollars in opportunities. However, Tyler has reportedly strongly refuted Mo’Nique’s claims. In May, Mo’Nique joined Katt Williams on tour and had more to say about Tyler and Oprah, calling them “coon motherf*****s.” Tyler Perry’s beef with Mo’Nique is 15 years old, but it doesn’t look like it is ending soon.

“I got the next generation of stars. I have a voice in this game and I’m using it to put my artists on until everyone knows their names. Watch out for Vulture Love. We ain’t stopping.” – Kodak Black
To complement Vulture Love Presents: The Last Zombies On Earth, the first lady of Vulture Love, VVSNCE releases her summery “Palm Trees” video. Watch HERE. Meanwhile, G6reddotpartners with Kodak on the island of Capri in “The Way.” Watch HERE. G6reddot is an award-winning songwriter with success which includes penning on Cardi B’s hit number one record “Up.”
Among the many standouts on the project is “Feel My Face,” a face-off between Kodak and G6reddot that manages to be soulful and sentimental — while also not pulling any punches. Other highlights include “Like a Cowboy,” an old-school low-end bumper that leans into Kodak’s melodic hook complemented by bars from NFL Tuewop, Big Fredo and VVSNCE, and the climatic track “Good Day,” which pairs G6reddot, VVSNCE, and JME Tmoe trading verses amid a gospel choir and thumping percussion.

As expected, Kodak spearheads the collective, bringing his inimitable brand of rap to solo sizzlers “1800 Degrees” and “Lil Bra Dem.” He champions his newcomers who also get their moment to shine such as VVSNCE’s“Palm Trees” and Lil Crix’s“I Can’t Turn Down.” In short, the talent on display on Vulture Love Presents: The Last Zombies On Earth is nothing short of show-stopping.

Vulture Love Presents: The Last Zombies On Earth arrives on the heels of Kodak’s recent introspective singles “Dis Time,” “Stressed Out,” and “Non Believer.” It was preceded by “Shampoo,” a confident burst of street rap that typifies the style that made him a superstar. Of course, that song followed When I Was Dead, an engrossing album in which Kodak explores both his nightmares and blood-stained aspirations. Featuring the smash hit “Lemme See,” the project only reaffirmed Kodak’s status as one of the most gifted artists of his generation.
Kodak’s status transcends the rap world. Over the years, he has cultivated the role of a prophetic storyteller in the culture at large, and his reach continues to grow. He holds over 25 billion global streams to his name and continues altruism towards his Pompano Beach community.

Her upcoming solo mixtape City Cinderella is slated to drop sometime this year, though an official release date has not yet been confirmed.
Fans are certainly looking forward to hearing what else JT has up her sleeve musically, but it looks like new songs aren’t the only thing they can expect from the Miami-born performer. During a recent appearance on All Things Keyshia Ka’oir, she expressed serious interest in taking on some new business opportunities. Specifically, she wants to get into makeup and boob tape.
“I want to do boob tape, and of course makeup, but first before I start makeup I kind of want to be more educated so I’m in [talks] for a brand deal right now,” she explained. “Hopefully I get it, fingers crossed, it’s a big brand. But once I do the brand deal I want to learn more about it and then get into the business, cuz I think people start businesses without knowing anything… No.” Ka’Oir was more than supportive, even offering to give JT some tips as the CEO of her own cosmetics company. “I can help you,” Ka’Oir interjected. “Because I want you to have a deal.”
Of course, fans are now flooding the femcee with demands for certain products, with most agreeing that they’d love to see lipsticks, glosses, and liners. What do you think of JT revealing she wants to get into the makeup and boob tape industries? What products would you like to see the City Girl release?

Tems has been one of the true breakout stars of the 2020s. The singer went from relative obscurity to headlining radio hits alongside rappers like Drake and Future. She even got the lead singer on a Black Panther soundtrack. The anticipation for her album has been at a fever pitch since it was announced back in 2022, and we finally have a tracklist. The Nigerian singer previously released the album cover, but the tracklist gives us a better feel for what she has in store, musically speaking.
Tems’ body of work so far has been concise and largely EP driven. Born In the Wild is a chance for her to display her artistry over a lengthy period, and she’s taking advantage of it. The album has 18 songs on it, and the features are minimal. It’s obvious the singer has the chops and the confidence to carry the lion’s share of the album on her own. Asake, another Nigerian artist, is featured on the song “Get It Right,” and J Cole will appear on “Free Fall.” The latter is a fascinating choice, given that Tems has worked with the other two rappers in the so-called Big Three. She’s made two hit songs with Drake, and she had a Q&A with Kendrick Lamar in 2023.
Tems talked about the recording process of Born In the Wild during her Interview Magazine chat with Lamar. She told the rapper that she didn’t intend to make the album so personal in theme. She was just compelled to dig into her own life whenever she stepped in the booth. “Sometimes it freaks me out,” she explained. “Sometimes I freestyle to a point where I can’t feel my feet. I’ve entered somewhere and I don’t even know where I am anymore. I’m just pouring out my gut and then when I’m done, I don’t remember what I just did.”
Tems also claimed that she encountered several “lightning in a bottle” moments during the making of the album. Moments in which she gave herself over to her artistic muse, and operated on instinct. It’s hard to find, but it’s special when you find it. “It’s like tuning a radio and you find a channel, but the thing is, once you lose that channel, you can’t find it again,” she told Lamar. “You can find another channel, another freestyle, another thing, but not that. Unless you’re really, really tapped in.”
Through her work with Nike, she brings her heritage to life, offering sneaker enthusiasts a glimpse into the beauty and richness of Navajo culture. The black and grey palette pays tribute to the earthy tones of Navajo artwork, while the leather flap adds a modern touch, symbolizing the blend of tradition and contemporary style. This collaboration between Nike and Di’orr Greenwood is more than just a sneaker release—it’s a celebration of indigenous art and culture. Sneakerheads and art lovers alike can anticipate the fusion of streetwear and tradition in this unique colorway.
The sneakers feature a black rubber sole and a grey midsole adorned with intricate triangle designs. Also, the uppers are crafted from black suede, complemented by a grey leather Swoosh on the sides. Further, a large grey leather flap covers the laces, accented with detailed stitching throughout. Nike SB branding graces the tongues, while the traditional NIKE logo is prominently displayed on the heels.

Nice Kicks reports that the Nike SB Dunk Mid x Di’orr Greenwood will be released on June 4th. Also, the retail price of the sneakers will be $110 when they are released. Further, make sure to let us know what you think about these kicks in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the most recent updates and news from the sneaker community.

Daylyt has a unique perspective on the battle of the so-called “Big Three.” The rapper has ties to Drake, J Cole and Kendrick Lamar, and has given his opinions on the various diss tracks that have been released between them all. This makes him an authoritative voice in terms of what to expect, and whether there is more that fans should be expecting. Daylyt even appeared on the J Cole album in which the Dreamville rapper dissed Kendrick Lamar. In his estimation, though, the battle is officially over.
Daylyt hopped on X (formerly Twitter) to give his two cents on the battle. He not only weighed in, but he acknowledged that the discourse around the battle has gotten old. “This my last and final post about this beef,” he wrote. “So that y’all don’t keep coming to my page looking for ebony type tweets.” The rapper then revealed that he’s had individual conversations with each of the Big Three in recent weeks. “I spoke to Cole,” he added. “I spoke to Dot, I spoke to Drake. The beef is over.” Daylyt then shifted the focus to the good music that came out of the beef, and the good music that’s still to come. “We back to making good music,” he tweeted. “To all rap n**gas the game has ben set hof!”
Daylyt’s association with the Big Three has taken on different forms over the years. He scored his first Billboard charting song opposite J. Cole on “Pi,” which also featured TDE rapper Ab-Soul. He previously worked with Drake, though there’s controversy surrounding the work they did together. Some fans think Daylyt wrote “Back to Back” for Drizzy, and the former’s song “Uncharged Up” was meant to poke fun at the Drake diss “Charged Up.” Another Daylyt song, 2016’s “Cat’s Out the Bag,” supports the “Back to Back” theory in its lyrics. “All of em jewish guys,” he raps. “Help em write the back 2 back but what money did you provide. Drake Joe, who should i ride for.”
Daylyt isn’t the only person who’s claimed that the Big Three battle is over. On May 10, Kendrick Lamar’s former label head, Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith, tweeted a similar opinion. “This battle is over,” he wrote. “A win for the culture, while keeping it all on wax. Especially when publications try to make it something else. We proved them wrong. That’s a victory within itself.” Top Dawg’s sentiments were shared only a handful of days after Lamar released the one-two punch of “Meet the Grahams” and “Not Like Us.”
