Following the explosive new Oprah interview featuring Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, the entire world has been in awe, but no one has been more pressed to talk about it than Piers Morgan. Earlier this week, Piers Morgan took to Good Morning Britain to air out the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, and he was subsequently dragged by one of the show’s guest speakers as well as called out by one of his GMB colleagues for his biased coverage of Meghan Markle. After a rough start to this week, Morgan stormed off the set of GMB and announced that he was cutting ties with the show.

It doesn’t appear that Morgan is taking the split well, however, as the former Good MorningBritain host has been spamming his social media accounts with some unflattering posts. Citing free speech as a defense for continuing to speak on Meghan Markle, Morgan slams Oprah’s interview with the alienated British royals by casting doubt on the validity of Markle’s statements.

The controversial broadcaster also hinted at his unprofessional outburst on the set of Good Morning Britain, claiming that he is responsible for the show’s allegedly historical ratings. Check out Morgan’s petty social media rant below.

There’s been a unique approach to the way Cam’ron’s marketing his new product Pink Horse Power. The rapper has been documenting his apparent affair with a neighbor in his condo building. It began when she went on social media where she essentially revealed where he lived, adding that she’d have Cam’s babies. The relationship developed and it was a few weeks ago when Cam revealed that they slept together through a now-deleted snippet of their sex tape (no nudity was actually shown).

Unfortunately, it seems that things took a turn for the worse after that night. Cam took to Instagram today where he revealed that his phone’s been ringing off of the hook from “29 C” who just happens to be the neighbor. “It’s been going on since 8 this morning,” he said before addressing the loud knocks at the door. “You can’t do this, yo. You can’t do this,” he yelled. The neighbor continued to knock, demanding that he opens the door. Cam then started threatening to call security. “First of all, why are you calling me when you’re outside the door?!”

The snippet cut to the rapper filming himself as he tried to get to his vehicle only to find the woman standing right next to it in the parking garage. “Nope, nope,” he says repeatedly after she spots him.

Even though Whole Lotta Red finally dropped last Christmas, fans have been clamoring for more music from Playboi Carti nonetheless. Many dedicated fans enjoyed the album’s suprising sonic direction while others immediately wrote it off as a major misstep, yet the mere idea of a deluxe version of Whole Lotta Red has been more than enough to get fans excited once again for new Carti music. Judging from a new Instagram post from the “King Vamp” himself, Carti may be dropping sooner than fans thought.

Carti’s latest Instagram post shows the eccentric Atlanta artist once again sporting blonde hair, which hardcore fans of the “Punk Monk” will undoubtedly associate with the time period leading up to the long-awaited release of Whole Lotta Red when hyped tracks like “Pissy Pamper/Kid Cudi” kept leaking onto the internet.

In the photo’s caption, Playboi Carti writes in his signature chaotic letter case, “LeTs dr0p thiS new Album . w3 noT done.”

For all intents and purposes, this is could very well be an official announcement, or as close as fans will get to one, that the deluxe version of Whole Lotta Redis almost set to release. Longtime fans of Carti know, however, that the Atlanta artist’s new post doesn’t necessarily mean that the album will be arriving anytime soon. Playboi Carti is notorious for last-minute release announcements, so stay tuned as more information regarding “thiS new Album” is sure to come in the following days. 

It must be frustrating for D Smoke, who turned in an impressive and expertly penned project in Black Habits, to see the defiant response to his recent Best Rap Album Grammy nomination. That’s not to say that everybody took issue with his inclusion, which found him honored alongside elite lyricists Freddie Gibbs, Royce Da 5’9″, Jay Electronica, and Nas. But enough people openly pondered about D Smoke’s nomination, including Pop Smoke’s former label head, who condescendingly wondered “Who is D Smoke?”

The Rhythm + Flow winner recently took a moment to chop it up with HipHopDX ahead of the big event, where he proceeded to reflect on some of the controversy surrounding his nomination. But first, he makes it abundantly clear that he still takes pride in Black Habits, as he should; lest we forget that the album shines as a cohesive body of work, with D Smoke providing plenty of stellar lyricism and a keen ear for production.” “Man, I’m still proud of the body of work,” D Smoke tells the publication. “I’m proud that more people will put an ear to it for themselves because of the nomination and because I know what work went into it. With us being nominated, that’s just another milestone. I’m secretly working on another project too, you know what I’m saying?”

“See, I don’t acknowledge the controversy and the mess the same way that I’m sure other people do,” he explains. “Because one, I wasn’t banking on the nomination, but at the same time, I knew that the body of work is worthy of whatever recognition comes. If it doesn’t, it doesn’t change how worthy it was. I don’t look at it from that lens. I know that any one award show can’t acknowledge all of the brilliant music that is out there. Now that there’s music that is incredible and could shift the world, that may never become popular for whatever reason based on what mechanisms are in place. I don’t listen like a civilian, so to speak. I listen with the generals, do you feel me?”

In short, people need to start putting due respect on Black Habits. Look for D Smoke’s big Grammy debut this coming Sunday, March 14th. Should you be looking for more insight into the making of his acclaimed album, check our own interview with the rapper right here.

Chris Brown has an out-of-this-world amount of talent and, oftentimes, he’s been compared to an alien because of his tremendous creativity and his ability to think out of the box. He’s also made numerous references to space through his music videos and in his songs. With that said, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Breezy is seemingly a believer in aliens, speaking on the matter this week and suggesting that extraterrestrials can help us save the planet and “break free from this mental cage”.

Sharing his thoughts on Instagram Stories, CB said, “If aliens exist, I sure hope our governments aren’t speaking on our behalf. Cosmic disclosure will help us to get on the right path/frequency with the planet and break us free from this mental cage. But what do I know??? I’m just good at dancing.”

With that last bit, it seems like Chris is already aware that people will disregard his message. However, with a bunch of celebrities coming forward and speaking recently about their personal encounters with UFOs, including Post Malone and Baker Mayfield, we have no choice but to think that Chris Brown may be onto something.

Over the years, Chris Brown has shaken up his fanbase by sharing wild conspiracy theories, including one in 2018 that took aim at NASA. “Stop Believing NASA,” he joked at the time, suggesting that he believes in a flat earth theory. A month later, he shared another conspiracy video about chemtrails. Back in 2014, he also said that he thought ebola was a “form of population control”. As you can see, conspiracy theories are nothing new for Chris Brown.

What do you think of Breezy’s latest musings?

It’s been a minute since we’ve heard some new music from BROCKHAMPTON, the self-styled boy-band consisting of more members than an actual pop boy band could conceivably handle. In fact, their latest studio album Ginger arrived in 2019, and while that might not seem like a long time on paper, one might argue that the year 2020 was in fact temporarily equivalent to several years. As such, the wait for a follow-up has felt admittedly lengthy, though it would indeed appear as if the collective is gearing up to mount a comeback.

Today, BROCKHAMPTON took to YouTube to share a new visual teaser entitled “Meet The Roadrunners,” suggesting a possible artistic direction for their next release. Visually, the clip features a grainy aesthetic as each member posts up in a distinctive blue jacket. All the while, a snippet of an upcoming track provides the soundtrack, and the straightforward and lyrically-driven sound should please those hoping to see the squadron spit bars on this go-around. Of course, experimentation on both a musical and visual level should never be counted out, as Brockhampton have proven time and again that their creativity should never be underestimated. In other words, expect the unexpected.

Though little else is known about the forthcoming project, which may or may not include a conceptual focus on The Roadrunners, it’s promising to see the group kick off an expectedly intriguing rollout. It should be noted that rollouts are significantly shorter these days, so don’t be surprised to see BROCKHAMPTON following up this clip with something new in the imminent future. Check out the mysterious “Meet The Roadrunners” below.
