His antics have always caused him to trend in some capacity, but in recent months, Safaree Samuels has been taking hits due to his marriage with estranged wife Erica Mena. Years ago, the couple played out their love story for a global audience as they touted their love on reality television, even marrying on Love & Hip Hop. However, things took a turn this year and just weeks after announcing they were expecting their second child together, the couple shared that they were divorcing.

Both Safaree and Erica have to watch the memories of their relationship on TV with the rest of the world, reliving moments that they would probably rather not rehash. Some of their internet exchanges have also been rather controversial, as Erica has accused Safareee of taking up with Joe Budden’s ex and leaving her alone with their newborn while the baby was in the NICU.

On tonight’s (August 2) episode of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta, Safaree met up with his mother, and to say that she was disappointed with his recent behaviors is an understatement. Safaree revealed that Erica was six months along when he found out about the pregnancy and they were sleeping in separate rooms. “There was so much turmoil and us not getting along,” he said.

His mother told him that with marriage comes arguments, but he needed to learn not to shut down. “You create problems when you do that,” she said. “You get upset and you start tweeting. I don’t like that, man. And you know you wasn’t raised like that. You know. You know when it comes down to women, the utmost respect.”

She told her son that when she sees him do and say such things, it both “hurts” and “embarrasses” her. Check out the clip below.

At this point, Detox has become a piece of Hip Hop folklore. There have been several artists who have spoken about the record and after Detox suffered reported leaks, it seemingly was shelved for the time being. Some have made claims that Dr. Dre still planned on delivering the album in some form, if not as Detox then with some other project, and Hip Hop legend Grandmaster Flash has fueled the flame of those rumors with an Instagram post.

Yesterday (August 1), the Bronx icon uploaded a photo of himself with Dr. Dre and let the world know that the Aftermath mogul has been hard at work in the studio.

“GRANDMASTER FLASH & DR. DRE Here in LA doing the Disco Oasis with Nile Rogers tonite,” Flash wrote. “I get a call from one of my heroes he invites me to the CRIB he takes me down to the STUDIO he played me a project that will change the game!!” That news alone was enough to set the internet ablaze.

“Totally incredible, we top off the day for 2hrs talkin about Music, Family Health and Life thanks for the Invite Dr Dre.” There have been plenty of artists looking to work with Dre, including Rakim who wants to reunite with his collaborator on a potential joint record. Earlier this year, Dem Jointz hinted that Detox could arrive before 2021’s end.

Check out Grandmaster Flash’s post below.

The new music set to be released soon is causing fans to suffer from whiplash. Kanye West’s DONDA is slated to arrive this week—hopefully—and days ago, Drake confirmed thatCertified Lover Boy was complete. Diddy has cleared his Instagram page after announcing his album will arrive in September, and now, The Weeknd has previewed his new single, “Take My Breath.”

The Candian superstar’s acclaimed album After Hours continues to make its mark on the charts over a year after its release, so it seems only fitting that The Weeknd prepares for the next iconic moment in his career.

The singer recently took to his social media to tease that he had something big coming, and what has followed has been a cover feature for GQ‘s first-ever global edition and now, a sneak peek at a new track. “Take My Breath” was featured in a commercial for the 2021 Tokyo Olympics and included track stars Dalilah Muhammad, Gabrielle Thomas, Sydney McLaughlin, and Athing Mu. In the caption, The Weeknd shared that the full version of the song would arrive this Friday, August 6.

“I read every single review. I read every comment. Everything. And I like reviews, man,” The Weeknd told GQ. “I like critics. Even the biased ones that are against me, I like reading it. I think it’s interesting. I think it’s humbling, which is always great. I can now understand when you’re reading stuff. Like I can see through the lines now. Between the lines.”

Check out the commercial below and let us know if you’re looking forward to “Take My Breath.”

Fans are known to get emotionally involved in their favorite artist’s personal business and Guapdad 4000 is feeling the wrath of Yung Baby Tate’s supporters. We previously reported on the Bay Area rapper getting air time on the latest season of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta as his relationship—or situationship—with Yung Baby Tate was played out for a global audience. Guapdad received backlash with how he handled letting Tate down gently as he faced accusations that he was gaslighting her.

Tate recently shared a message from someone who said they saw how Guapdad treated her on Love & Hip Hop so they took matters into their own hands when they saw him in person. “I saw that guy that you were dating on lhh he was at my job (Spirit Airlines) with some Asian chick, he had the nerve to ask if I could get them better seats,” the person wrote to Tate.

“I was like sorry sir the plane is full then proceeded to give them sh*tty seats,” they continued. “F*ck you mean stop playing with Baby Tate,lol I could have kept this to myself but I thought mhmm she might find this amusing lol!” Tate expressed love for her fans but Guapdad didn’t find it funny.

“I just found out an employee at @SpiritAirlines denied me access to better seats even though i offered to pay,” he tweeted. “Because of a bias she has for a rapper from TV.” He added that he was off to attend his brother’s wedding during his birthday weekend and said, “Thanks for broadcasting my travel information.”

Baby Tate was unfazed and commented on the controversy by sending off a subliminal shot. “Imagine the type of person you have to be to try to get someone fired during a global pandemic,” she wrote. Swipe below to read through it all.

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.

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.
