Eminem is the self-proclaimed Rap God, but Grammy Award-winning emcee’s acting abilities. Well, Adam Sandler surely hasn’t.

According to The Sun, Eminem is reunite with Sandler onscreen by way of Happy Gilmore‘s highly anticipated sequel. Although the extent of Eminem’s forthcoming appearance has been disclosed, the outlet claims Em will play “a comedic role, and he really had fun with it.”

An insider spoke with the platform about Eminem time on set, saying: “Em is a big fan of the original movie, and he was a total pleasure to work with. He was just super low-key, he didn’t have a big entourage, and was just an absolute delight.”

Given that filming has already begun, a source said Eminem shot his scenes in New Jersey on November 6. Last month, Kid Cudi confirmed being cast in the picture on Instagram, writing: “It’s been a long time dream of mine to work w Adam, he’s my favorite, and his movies and comedy made up my childhood. Another dream come true.”

Eminem hasn’t confirmed or denied his involved in the upcoming flick. But, this wouldn’t mark Eminem and Adam Sandler’s first time appearing in a film together. Back in 2009, the duo worked together for Funny People, which starred Sandler, Seth Rogen, Leslie Mann.

Lil Uzi Vert Sparks Online Speculation After Dubbing Frank Ocean “CFO”

Lil Uzi Vert has fans on their back foot. The rollout for Eternal Atake 2 was more acclaimed that the album itself. Many felt that the sequel to his 2020 album was massive let down, especially given the hype that it had accrued. Some considered it Uzi Vert’s worst release to date. Now that the dust has settled, though, fans have begun to concoct theories about its release. Lil Uzi Vert compounded these theories on the 11 of November. They posted a photo of Frank Ocean on their Instagram Story.

Frank Ocean is about as elusive as an artist gets. Nobody knows what the singer-songwriter is doing, let alone when he plans to return with a new album. He hasn’t dropped since 2016, and he didn’t even make an appearance on his buddy Tyler, The Creator’s new release. Lil Uzi Vert posting a photo of Ocean is an odd enough move without context, but the context provided made things more intriguing for fans. Over a photo of Ocean read the next: “CFO.” Lil Uzi Vert didn’t expand on how/why Frank Ocean is a “CFO,” also known “Chief Financial Officer,” but fans have concocted a theory.

Lil Uzi Vert Seemingly Cites Ocean As An Influence

The going theory online is that Uzi Vert took a page out of Frank Ocean’s playbook. Fans suspect that the rapper dropped Eternal Atake 2 as a means of fulfilling a record deal. Not because they felt it was a defining piece of work. Ocean employed a similar tactic in 2016, when he released Endless to complete his Def Jam deal, then turned around and dropped Blonde a day later. Uzi Vert’s evocation of Ocean, via the term “CFO,” has led fans to suspect that they are acknowledging Ocean as an influence on their label dealings.

Lil Uzi Vert’s desire to release music more frequently supports this theory. They said as much during a recent interview with Rolling Stone. “Yeah. I’m on go. I’m not even lying,” they explained. “They thought I was lying a few minutes ago. Now the tape is coming, everybody’s like, ‘You weren’t lying.’ They swore I was lying. They were cursing me out.” Time will tell if Uzi Vert decides to sign with another record label and drop, like Frank Ocean did before them.

SEE IT: Young Thug May Have Called Out Gunna Before Deleting Tweet: “I Don’t Know U My Guy”

Screen Shot 2024 11 11 at 4.48.16 PM

Didn’t Drake have a song called “No Friends in the Industry.” Well, Young Thug may not be as amicable with Gunna as fans had hoped following his recent release from prison. Over the weekend, Thugga posted—and then quickly deleted—a tweet that left many questioning the state of his relationship with his former collaborator. The tweet, which was directed at Gunna, read: “Gunna stop acting like we friends on the internet, I don’t know you my guy.”

This not so cryptic message has reignited speculation about the rift between the two rappers. Fans had already wondered whether their friendship had been strained after Gunna’s release from prison in 2022, following his Alford plea deal.

ICYMI, Gunna’s decision to take the plea led many to believe he had cooperated with authorities, which fueled rumors that he had “snitched” on Young Thug and other members of the YSL label. Despite denying these accusations and continuing to support YSL, Gunna was labeled a “snitch” by a large portion of the hip-hop community.

In the wild months since, during that trial that is, things seemed to take a positive turn when, in 2024, Thug’s lawyer made a request to the court to allow Thug to continue making music with Gunna, citing contractual obligations to YSL. This led many to believe the two had reconciled, or at least were on better terms. However, Thug’s recent tweet casts doubt on that narrative, prompting fans to question whether there was still tension between them.

While some speculated that Thug’s use of “Gunna” could have been a misspelling of “Going to” and directed at himself rather than Gunna, the context of the tweet—combined with the ongoing allegations surrounding Gunna’s plea deal—adds a layer of uncertainty to their relationship.

First off, who really thinks “Gunna” was a typo for “Going to.” Like, c’mon. That’s a stretch of all stretches.

Anyways, Gunna’s attorney, Steve Sadow, has repeatedly dismissed the snitching rumors. In an Instagram post, Sadow clarified, “Gunna did not snitch to get out of jail. He has said nothing and is not cooperating. His plea statement cannot be used in court against any other defendant. So please stop spreading lies.” Despite these claims, the back-and-forth between Thug and Gunna continues to fuel debate among fans.

Anyway, Thug is home. That matters. The rest doesn’t.

Travis Scott Approves Of Coldplay’s Surprising “Goosebumps” Cover

Coldplay occupy an interesting place in the music world. They were once the biggest band in the world, and were afforded the critical acclaim that came with it. They were praised by fans and critics alike, and spent a brief moment in the mid-2000s as hip hop favorites. Coldplay frontman Chris Martin had songs with both Kanye West and JAY-Z, and remains close friends with the latter. Notable though these ties may be, nobody was expecting the British outfit to cover Travis Scott during a recent show.

Chris Martin took song requests during a live performance, and one of the fans in the audience asked him to sing “Goosebumps” by Travis Scott. “Goosebumps” is about ten billion light years away from the sound and lyrical content of most Coldplay music. Especially in the 2020s, when the band has settled in as the softest of rockers. Still, Chris Martin and company gave it a go. Martin ran around the stage and the rest of the band delivered a rousing, guitar-driven rendition of Travis Scott’s 2016 hit with Kendrick Lamar. Coldplay’s “Goosebumps” spread like wildfire on the internet, and Scott decided to weigh in on the cover via social media.

Travis Scott Dubbed Coldplay A “GOAT” Band

Travis Scott hopped on Twitter to confirm that he was a fan of Coldplay’s reimagining. “This got it,” he wrote, along with an emoji of a goat. Coldplay’s cool points may not be as plentiful as they were back in the day, but to have Scott co-sign them is a pretty big endorsement in 2024. The combination of Scott and Coldplay may sound odd in theory (or even in practice), but this is not the first time they have been musically linked.

Chris Martin told USA Today that his teenage daughters have been instrumental in keeping him plugged in to contemporary music. He credits Moses, 15, and Apple, 17, with exposing him to sounds that help to keep Coldplay fresh and musically adventurous. Travis Scott was one of the artists that Martin cited with regards to influence. “It’s cool when your kids start getting you into things,” he explained. “That’s how I got into Travis Scott or The 1975 or Olivia Rodrigo or whoever it may be.” Scott is currently working on a new album, so maybe fans will get to hear a proper Coldplay collab in the future.

Logic Wants to Create Playboi Carti Type Music To Get The Bag

Screen Shot 2024 11 11 at 4.10.36 PM

Logic, remember him? The lyrical rapper recently shared with TMZ that his current rap style hasn’t been as financially successful as he hoped, prompting him to shift his musical direction. Oh, really?

So the 34-year-old rapper spoke candidly about his new creative plans while in Detroit, explaining that his focus on traditional hip-hop had not been paying the bills. At least he’s being honest.

“I’ve been on a run of doing super hip-hop music, but that stuff doesn’t pay the bills,” he admitted, acknowledging the financial realities of the music industry.

Okay, while reflecting on his past successes with more mainstream, party-driven tracks, Logic revealed that he plans to adopt a sound similar to Playboi Carti’s “turn-up” style in the coming year. “I made my money doing pop and turn-up tracks, and I’ve been lucky to make music from my heart. But next year, I’m about to drop all this Carti-style trap and have some fun. It’s okay to make money, too,” he said, signaling a significant shift in his approach to music.

Yes, Logic, it’s okay to make money too.

Now get this, Logic’s long-awaited Ultra 85 project, which has taken nearly eight years to complete, will feature contributions from artists like T Man The Wizard, DJ Drama, ADÉ, Lucy Rose, Zelooperz, and Robert Ivory. Originally teased as a potential retirement album in 2020, Ultra 85 was shelved in favor of No Pressure. Fans speculated that Ultra 85 had simply been rebranded, and a clue in the outro of No Pressure’s track “Heard Em Say” seemed to confirm this, with a robotic voice declaring, “This concludes the No Pressure program… welcome to the Ultra 85 program.”

In an interesting twist, Logic’s newfound inspiration, Playboi Carti, recently made headlines with a feature on Tyler, The Creator’s Chromakopia. Although Carti’s contribution to the album, on the track “Thought I Was Dead” with ScHoolboy Q, is exclusive to the vinyl release, it has captured fans’ attention. Carti’s verse, delivered in a deeper tone over pulsing tribal drums, leaked online after the album’s streaming debut on October 28, sparking further interest.

As we wait for Logic to shift towards a more upbeat, trap-heavy sound, fans are eager to see how his style evolves to match the industry’s changing trends. This pivot represents a strategic move for the 34-year-old rapper, who is balancing his artistic integrity with a more commercially viable approach—ready to make an impact once again on his own terms.

Well, this is going to be interesting. Good luck to Logic in the next phase of his rap career.

50 Cent Laughs Off Ray J’s Wild Diddy Claims

Screen Shot 2024 11 11 at 3.42.46 PM

50 Cent is relentless. The G-Unit honcho is once again taking jabs at Diddy, following Ray J’s recent comments about the Bad Boy Records mogul amid the ongoing sex trafficking lawsuits. After Ray J ran into Diddy’s sons at a Halloween event, he appeared on NewsNation’s Cuomo and shared his thoughts on the publicized scandal, revealing how it had even affected his personal life, including his church visits.

Now, Ray J commented, “They saying that people like the church doing it. So now, I can’t turn cheek to cheek when somebody hit me, because now I’m thinking about butt cheeks, you know? It’s like… It’s a lot, and it’s just not adding up to me.”

His remarks prompted 50 Cent to post a video of the interview on Instagram, joking in the comments, “Oh now I see why they was gonna pack Ray J out, he wilding bro. It feels like he saying this because Diddy down bad. I’m a hit Ray and tell him chill LOL.”

Oh buddy, Ray J didn’t stop there. He doubled down on his comments about the allegations against Diddy during his own broadcast. He stated, “People are getting robbed of not only their money and their spirituality; they’re getting robbed of their womanhood and their manhood. Asses are being taken in ways that nobody can explain!” He then expressed his confusion about how to react to such serious accusations, asking, “Do you chuckle? Do you laugh? Do you help? Do you criticize? Because I see a lot of jokes out there right now talking about baby oil.”

50 Cent, couldn’t help himself and responded to the video with his signature humor, commenting, “[grinning face emoji] oh my God, WTF is Ray J doing LOL [grinning face emojis] hahahahaha [ninja]’s really going crazy out here! [crying face emoji].”

What’s more, the dicey situation took an even more dramatic turn when HOT 97 reported that Ray J’s video sparked a confrontation at a party, where Diddy’s sons reportedly confronted him. The altercation was only defused when Chris Brown intervened. Ray J later spoke to Nicki Minaj about the incident, explaining, “No, we didn’t have a fight. We had a big argument right outside the club. This time, I think I got loud and got aggressive. But it was the third time this happened so I felt like I needed to stand up for myself.” He added, “Even though I was talking shit and we were having a lot of crazy words, I was walking that way to avoid the issue. So that’s what happened and it’s unfortunate.”

Denzel Curry Drops Killer Freestyle During Kai Cenat Live Stream

Denzel Curry is one of the best rappers of his generation. You’d be hard-pressed to find someone who can drop lyrical gems with as much consistency and/or ease. He’s one of the few who can actually step to the microphone in a freestyle capacity and not embarrass himself. If anything, Denzel Curry’s ability to freestyle has increased his profile in the game. This was definitely the case on November 10. Curry went on Kai Cenat’s 300K subscribers stream and dropped an absolutely jaw-dropping two minute freestyle.

We’re not going to recount Denzel Curry’s entire verse, but one look at Kai Cenat during this masterful display communicates enough. The streamer is absolutely floored by Curry’s wordplay and his ability to string seemingly random words together into something cogent. Curry is clearly having fun doing so, and part of what makes the live stream freestyle so much fun to watch is the way Curry and Kai feed off one another. It’s evident Denzel Curry wants to blow Cenat’s mind, and it’s even more evident that the latter is having the time of his life next to the latter.

Denzel Curry also teased some unreleased music and talked directly to fans. The former wasn’t too surprising, given that he recently announced plans to release King of the Mischievous South (Complete), an expansion upon the the album he dropped in 2024. The album is set for release on November 15. Zel also treated viewers to a motivational speech about achieving dreams. He implored people to put in hard work when it came to pursuing the things they want to do. “Kids have dreams, but adults make them a reality,” he asserted.

Denzel Curry was one of the best rappers to appear on Kai Cenat’s live stream in some time. There has been some controversy surrounding the streamer in recent weeks, especially when it comes to rappers being involved. DDG chopped it up with Kai Cenat while holding his infant son. The infant’s mom, Halle Bailey, proceeded to call DDG out, and then the internet turned on her. She ultimately deleted her social media as a result. Then there was Kodak Black. The Florida rapper was visibly inebriated during his stint on Kai Cenat’s stream. So much so, in fact, that fans criticized Cenat for allowing the guest appearance to play out.

GloRilla’s Tweet About Wanting To Be “Single & Celibate” Generates Mixed Reactions

GloRilla is back at it again with another post about dating and everything that comes with it. According to AllHipHop, the Memphis rap superstar sent out a tweet on X regarding waiting for the perfect guy to come along. Single & celibate until God send me my husband🤗🫶,” she said on the platform. The celibacy journey is something that she’s been talking about. At the top of the year, one of her goals for the year was to go without having any sexual activity for 90 days. It even became a topic of conversation with Complex‘s own Speedy Morman. However, around Halloween, she sent her fans and the internet into a frenzy over some pictures on Instagram.

It was her wearing what is now known to be a fake baby bump. People were especially shocked due to her previous feelings she shared with Charlamagne Tha God about having kids. Big Glo did try to keep the act going by denying that she wasn’t faking her pregnancy. However, it was eventually all put to rest fairly quickly. All of these past posts are why this tweet is maintaining some traction right now. Additionally, though, it’s because some have a major problem with her using “celibate.”

A post shared by Glo Da P (@glorillapimp)

Usually, when someone is celibate, it means that they have never had sex of any kind and never will. It also means not having a relationship of any kind either. It may be a nitpick to some, but quite a few people are taking issue with it. One X user replies, “Women will post this while still getting head in the regular.” Another adds, “You not celibate🤦‍♂️stop using the word wrong.”

However, GloRilla’s fans were more supportive of her decision to wait for the right guy. “Single, celibate, and trusting God’s timing. When it’s meant to be, it’ll be.” “Same. It’s the best way to be. Sooo many diseases out here.” You can say what you want about the wording, but we are happy to see the femcee finding love on her own terms.

Get this, the Emirates NBA Cup will see all 30 NBA teams split into six groups of five, with three groups from the Western Conference and three from the Eastern Conference. Each team will play the other teams in its group once.

LeBron James, who led the team to victory, was named the first-ever In-Season Tournament MVP. Reflecting on the achievement, James said, “We’re the first champions of the in-season tournament, and nobody can ever top that. It’s great to do it with a historical franchise and just a great cast of funny, engaged, competitive men over here.”
