Trick Daddy is learning firsthand why it’s not the best idea to say anything negative about Beyoncé and JAY-Z. Two of the most powerful artists in the world, with two of the strongest fanbases in the business, have officially taken aim at the Florida rapper after he made rude comments about their talent. Speaking to a Clubhouse panel about how he doesn’t think Beyoncé can “sang” and discounting JAY-Z’s talent as “not the best rapper,” Trick Daddy Dollars may ultimately end up regretting his words because the Beyhive has come for him and his pockets.

Shortly after Trick made his comments about Beyoncé, the world-famous singer’s fans started to review-bomb his Sunday’s Eatery restaurant, causing him to have a pretty terrible score online.

“Disgusting food. Seriously, though. The service was so bad and the food was so subpar,” said a Beyoncé fan as a review, leaving a bee emoji at the end. “I’ve never in my life tasted such filth,” said another fan of Queen Bey. “The Lemonade on the other hand, was divine.”

Trick Daddy doubled down on his comments about Beyoncé and JAY-Z on his radio show this morning. This afternoon, he went live on Instagram to clarify his statement.

“Beyoncé is the number one performer I’ve ever seen besides Michael Jackson and Chris Brown. Can she sing? Yeah… She can’t sang. She ain’t in my top,” he said. “Beyoncé ain’t Stephanie Mills. She ain’t Patti LaBelle. She ain’t Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey. She might be your Whitney Houston, that’s my opinion. I told my homeboys that Chris Brown is on the level of Michael Jackson and they were like, ‘You crazy! You’re disrespecting the King.’ I’m telling you something I feel and I’m telling you something that Michael Jackson told Chris Brown himself.”

Do you think the fans are going too far by bombing Trick Daddy’s restaurant reviews?

Mac Miller’s posthumous output — at least beyond Circles, the album he worked on prior to his passing — has been relatively scarce. This coming Friday, fans will once again be able to hear the late rapper once again, as he’s set to appear on Ty Dolla $ign’s upcoming single “I Believed It.”

XXL confirms that the track will be arriving by week’s end, sharing a glimpse at the track’s debaucherous artwork. In addition to Mac Miller, “I Believed It” also features a guest appearance from DVSN.

Fans know that this is not the first time Ty Dolla $ign and Mac Miller have collaborated. The pair previously linked on Mac’s The Divine Feminine sprawling romantic odyssey “Cinderella,” a track that many fans have come to appreciate among his definitive works. It should certainly be interesting to hear what they had cooked up for “I Believed It,” and the added presence of DVSN makes this one all the more intriguing.

It’s unclear as to whether or not this upcoming single is meant to be part of an upcoming Ty Dolla $ign album, or if it’s simply a means of getting a bit of new Mac Miller music into the world. Either way, it’s a welcome addition to the upcoming New Music Tuesday, on which another friend and collaborator of Mac — Tyler, The Creator — will be delivering a brand new album. Are you excited to check out “I Believed It?” 

Philadelphia 76ers fans are furious with the team’s loss against the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday– and they’re taking that anger out on point guard/power forward Ben Simmons. However, teammate Dwight Howard came to Simmons’ defense during an Instagram livestream and criticized fans who were sending hate toward Simmons.

During the live, Howard plead with fans to “send that man some love” and respect the young Simmons who is only 24. Ben Simmons performance spurred negativity from commentators Shaq and Steven A. Smith who blasted him as “not playing right” and not belonging in Philadelphia anymore.

“I don’t think it’s right that everybody just sending this man bad messages and all this negativity… we supposed to be the City of Brotherly Love and the best thing we can do is just send some positivity,” Howard said calmly to his fans. According to Howard, Ben’s career shouldn’t be marred by an off-night– “He might have messed up, didn’t take no shots, didn’t do whatever — he’s gonna come back better next year” – and added his own statements of support for his teammate: “You’re my brother and I love you.”

Simmons scored only five points in 36 minutes of playing time during Game 7 of the 76ers vs. Hawks playoff series. Though his defensive stats were par for the player (8 rebounds and 13 assists), fans have mocked the player for taking only four field goal attempts the entire game. Dwight Howard played only 7 minutes, though scored no points. The 76ers lost the game by only seven points, and their season has concluded. 

Do you think Ben Simmons deserves the hate? 

Check out the clip and some reactions to Game 7 below.

Verzuz is known to get a bit sloppy at times. What’s positioned to be a competitive evening of artists performing their biggest hits often turns into a celebration of catalogs. Swizz and Timbaland’s rematch at Club LIV was largely celebratory with a crowd in front of them turning up as they breezed through some of their biggest hits.

Fans quickly noticed how both Timbo and Swizz may have been drinking throughout the evening to the point where they became largely inebriated. Neither party confirmed that this was true but fans began putting together the pieces. On May 30th, the two had performed their biggest hits alongside each other in Miami but earlier in the day, they had been filming an episode of Drink Champs. NORE and DJ EFN’s podcast centers around their guests divulging untold stories while having a few drinks. 

“When @THEREALSWIZZZ and @Timbaland did their @verzuzonline episode, I thought ‘damn they’re kinda shit faced,'” a fan wrote on Twitter. “Turns out they recorded an episode of @Drinkchamps with @noreaga and @djEFN at 10 am that morning of the #VERZUZ lol.”

EFN retweeted the post, adding, “100 percent facts.” HipHopDX later reached out to the Drink Champs co-host who downplayed just how faded Swizz Beatz and Timbo were after recording the episode. “I wouldn’t say [they were] trashed, but they got nice [laughs]. We all did. We had fun. It was definitely the earliest recording Drink Champs ever did,” he said.

In related news, Soulja Boy and Bow Wow are set to appear on Verzuz this Friday, June 26th.
