Gucci Mane and his roster of 1017-affiliated artists have been on a tear as of late. Pooh Shiesty has become the latest rap superstar. Big Scarr is Guwop’s secret weapon. Enchanting and K Shiday are putting in work. And Foogiano has a pretty big following too. Unfortunately, this week, Foogiano’s story included a pretty serious wrinkle after it was reported that the rapper was sentenced to five years in prison.
After allegedly burning off his ankle monitor, Foogiano turned himself in and was charged with being a fugitive from justice. His five-year sentence was confirmed by Renni Rucci, Foo’s girlfriend. The rapper has been garnering a lot of support from others in the industry, including Meek Mill. According to Gucci Mane, he’s working on getting Foogiano back outside, possibly getting him lawyered up with the best.
“Free my dawg ASAP,” wrote Gucci Mane on a picture of himself with his artist on Instagram. “We on top of it @foogiano #FreeFoo.”
Pooh Shiesty, a close collaborator of Foo’s, also added “ASAP” in the comments, showing his support.
We will keep you updated every step of the way as the fight for Foogiano’s freedom continues. Hopefully, Gucci Mane is able to work out some sort of deal that sees the rapper get released sooner than his sentence. Free Foo.

The affordable Parkway Gardens housing project in Chicago, notoriously known as O Block in the hip-hop community, has reportedly found a buyer and it’s not Lil Durk. Last week, the rapper offered to pay “whatever price” to scoop up the housing project that his close affiliate King Von grew up at. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like Smurk had a chance to even enter a bid because, according to some reports, the project was immediately sold after the initial news broke.
According to a post from SayCheese Media, O Block will be disbanded and relocated. The buildings have sold and they will reportedly be “developed beautifully and completely out of the price range of most current Woodlawn residents.” A report from All Hip Hop claims that Lil Durk was not the buyer of the housing project, despite him declaring his interest.
It was not publicly revealed who purchased Parkway Gardens.
It will be interesting to see what becomes of the area. Historically, there has been a high rate of gun violence in O Block. However, the buyer clearly has hopes for expanding in the area. With the news that rent prices are likely to shoot up, it’s possible that they will be building new condominiums to justify the increase.

Over the past week, fans have been eagerly awaiting news from J. Cole about a new album. It began with a post from Bas hinting at a new drop from Cole within two weeks before the K.O.D. rapper suggested that The Off-Season was finally complete. With all signs pointing to the project dropping, the rapper took to Twitter to formally announce The Off-Season with the official release date and cover art. “Just know this was years in the making. My new album The Off-Season available everywhere on 5/14,” Cole tweeted.
The announcement of a new album from J. Cole has left fans in excitement, especially since it could arrive a week after the mysterious release from TDE. Though fans have shared theories that Isaiah Rashad could be dropping on Friday, many are hopeful that Kendrick Lamar will be arriving this week. Of course, the false alarm that he would appear on Big Boy’s radio show this morning also sparked further speculation surrounding the release of a new album.
J. Cole’s The Off-Season appears to be part of a bigger plot that he detailed in an Instagram post in late December. The Off-Season is the first of three albums he announced, followed by It’s A Boy and finally, The Fall Off which fans have taken as a possible sign of retirement.
Check out some of the reactions to J. Cole’s album announcement below.
For those of you who’ve been following Don Toliver since his breakout feature on mentor and label-boss Travis Scott’s Astroworld, for the track “Can’t Say,” the Texas rapper is back on the scene today with a brand new video. Following up his own debut album Heaven Or Hell, released in 2020, a year that very well fits that description, Toliver’s “What You Need” video is a Nabil-directed clip that finds him riding in green limos and encountering mystical, glowing plumes of smoke out in the forest. It’s trippy in all the right ways, and the song itself is going to be the lead single off Toliver’s sophomore album, slated for release sometime this summer.
Aside from releasing his debut last year, Don also raised some eyebrows over his kerfuffle with the XXL Freshman cover, an extremely coveted and highly-visible co-sign for rising rappers, which he reportedly turned down in a sense. The magazine’s longtime editor-in-chief told Hot 97’s The Breakfast Club that the young Houston MC basically insisted he’d only pose for the cover photo, and was going to skip all the cyphers, concerts, and freestyles associated with the project. Obviously that didn’t go over well with XXL, but considering Travis Scott took the same route, eschewing the Freshman cover, it seems like Toliver will do just fine anyway. Plus his appearance on Cactus Jack’s Jackboys EP was another boost for his profile, proving Scott’s co-sign might be just as important at this point.
Watch the new video above and look for more info on Toliver’s second album coming soon.
Tiffany Haddish can make a joke out of anything. The acclaimed funny woman has made a career out of telling jokes, finding the light in every situation. In a recent interview on Daily Pop, Haddish sat down with the host to discuss if there are any children in her future. Expressing she would be interested in adopting children rather than using a surrogate–presumably, to conceive a child with her current boyfriend Common, she dropped a bombshell regarding her past experiences regarding her reproductive system.
Explaining her feelings on adoption over surrogacy, she explained, “I want them to know that I put in the work and I wanted them. I don’t wanna pay nobody to carry my baby neither cus then I have to go through a process of getting myself injections and all that stuff.”

“And I already gave up, here come something anybody don’t know” she preceded before dropping the bombshell revelation.
“When I was 21 I was living, hard on money, so I gave up a bunch of eggs. So who know? I might got some kids out here in these streets,” joked the 41-year-old comedian.
“There might be some Tiffany Haddishes,” said the host, adding on to the joke.
“I doubt it though cus I never got the bonuses,” she clowned again. While the process can be much more emotional for some, it seems Haddish has made complete peace with the decision.

The conversation about potentially introducing children into her life may mean she and Common are continuing steadily in their relationship. Considering that, there’s no telling how soon the couple will take the next huge step in their relationship.
There’s not much new information about Adolf Hitler that can still leave the general public pretty flabbergasted considering the historical atrocities he is responsible for. Defying all odds, however, a new documentary series focusing on Adolf Hitler’s sex life claims the criminal Nazi Germany dictator was allegedly into sadomasochism and engaging in sexual acts with his niece.
Hitler’s Secret Sex Life is a Sky History docuseries aimed at exploring the abundance of rumors surrounding Hitler’s sex life. While he presented himself in the world as a celibate man, notably keeping his 14-year relationship with Eva Braun a secret, over the course of the four episodes in the documentary series, historians claim Hitler engaged in voyeurism.

Additional claims made in the documentary include that he had his personal doctor inject him with bull semen to boost his libido and that he had an incestuous relationship with his niece Geli Raubal. Nineteen years younger than the dictator, she committed suicide at his Munich apartment in 1931. The documentary suggests that they had a sexual relationship that lasted as long as six years and Otto Strasser, a former Nazi party member, previously claimed Raubal reported Hitler wanted to perform sexual acts that were, “simply repulsive.”
Apparently, he didn’t just want to have sex with his relatives. He also was an alleged avid engager in S&M acts. “Sado-masochistic practices fit perfectly in with Hitler’s personality,” Australian professor and historian Robert Kaplan explained. “He internalized everything he didn’t like, like the losses in his life, and he projected his rage on everybody. It’s quite feasible that somebody like that would have these sexual practices.”

More claims about the Nazi leader’s sexual preferences include an alleged porn addiction, and one historian in 2016 suggested he may have been into excrement play.
Considering the systems of torture the former dictator was able to inflict on other individuals, the news does not come as a complete shock. Albeit, still pretty disturbing.
