by

Police said that Kash Doll was on the set of a music video in the San Fernando Valley when someone broke into her car. Police added that the robbery occurred between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. and was only able to access her vehicle because the doors were unlocked. At this point, it’s unclear what will be able to be covered under her insurance plan.

Police said among the items the robbers left with were a slew of jewelry, as well as a Louis Vuitton box that’s worth $50K. No arrests have been made so far.

Kash Doll isn’t the only rapper to have their car broken into in recent times. Last week, Lil Pump went on a tirade on Instagram where he revealed that someone busted the windows on his luxury whip. The Miami rapper threatened to retaliate against the perpetrators but there’s no sign that he managed to identify those responsible for the act.

Hopefully, both Kash Doll and Lil Pump are able to resolve their vehicle-related issues in the near future.

Young Nudy Slides On The “Spiral” OST On “You Ain’t Hard”

by

For some reason, the Saw series was resurrected with Chris Rock at the forefront of the project. The legendary horror series unveiled eight films as part of the franchise between its debut in 2004 and 2017 when Jigsaw was released. The revamp has clearly warranted some major upgrades including the soundtrack which was largely handled by 21 Savage.

The Slaughter Gang-produced effort includes four track — two of which 21 Savage appears on. Young Nudy also contributes to the four-song EP with the track, “You Ain’t Hard.” Kid Hazel and OZ cook up hypnotizing flutes and muddy 808s for Nudy whose deadpan voice details a murderous rampage in the streets.

Nudy also recently dropped off his single, “2Face” ft. G Herbo from his forthcoming project, DR EV4L due out May 18th.

Quotable Lyrics
Young n***a seventeen, Glock 19 
And it got a red beam and he got that red bandana ’round his head
Murder always on his mind
And he bangin’ two guns, murder all the time 

Jake Paul’s Beach Joy Ride In Puerto Rico Leads To Investigation

by

Jake Paul has never been someone who avoids controversy. In fact, it always feels like he is actively seeking it out. A perfect example of this was last week when Paul ended up being punched in the face during a kerfuffle with Floyd Mayweather and his team. Since that time, Paul has even upped his security because he is reportedly scared of what Mayweather might do. There are plenty of other instances of Paul getting himself wrapped up in something, and now, he is being investigated by Puerto Rico.

According to TMZ, Puerto Rico’s Department of Natural and Environmental Resources is investigating Paul over a video he posted online which shows him riding around on the beach in a golf cart. While these actions don’t seem too crazy, the issue stems from the fact that the beach is protected and was in the midst of the turtle-nesting season. This means Paul could have harmed the wildlife in the area, which is a big no-no.

For now, it remains to be seen what the punishments could be for this offense. Paul has yet to respond to the situation, and we’re sure he is doing his own research to see what the next course of action is. The boxer/YouTube star had deleted the video after posting it although it’s clear that this did him no favors.

Stay tuned for updates on this story as we will be sure to bring them to you.

Nicki Minaj Puts The Game On Notice On “Fractions”

by

Drake summed it up on Instagram Live on Thursday night: the game misses Nicki Minaj’s presence. It’s been three years since the release of Queen and fans have been longing to hear new music from Nicki, in whatever form it comes in. Following hints of new music to come, Nicki surprisingly didn’t launch an NFT like one would’ve expected her to do but instead, uploaded her breakout mixtape, Beam Me Up Scotty to streaming services.

The re-release includes a few new tracks including “Fractions” which she began teasing on Tuesday. The muddy production shares the same sample as Jay-Z’s “Where I’m From.” Nicki uses the moment to address the online rumors seemingly pertaining to allegations of sexual assault against her husband, Kenneth Petty. Beyond that, “Fractions” serves as a moment for Nicki to assert her dominance after a hiatus with straight bars and no hooks, weaving through the production with slick wordplay and plenty of quotables.

Peep the track below.

Quotable Lyrics
It’s them weak bars thinkin’ that she dissin’ for me
I graded your homework, bitch, it’s incomplete
If you was trying to be my son, then mission complete
I’m the final level bitch, they on a mission to beat

Robert Kraft Reveals How He Feels About Tom Brady’s Return To New England

by

Robert Kraft and the New England Patriots opted to move on from Tom Brady back in 2020. This allowed Brady to become a free agent for the very first time in his career and fans were curious as to where he would go. In the end, Brady joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers which proved to be an amazing decision as he was surrounded by lots of talent. He went on to win the Super Bowl, all while the Patriots missed out on the playoffs with Cam Newton as their QB.

Recently, it was revealed that Brady would return to New England during Week 4 of next season. This is a matchup that many have been anticipating ever since Brady left the Pats, there is already some trash-talk going both ways. During an interview with TMZ, Kraft was asked about Brady’s return and whether or not there are any hard feelings.

“Excited to have him,” Kraft said. “He’s a great guy and he did so much for us. I love him.” It would be difficult for Kraft to have ill will towards Brady especially since he got them six Super Bowl titles in such a short amount of time.

Either way, it’s going to be an incredible game and we can only imagine what Bill Belichick is planning for the game.

Kobe Bryant’s Daughter Natalia Dons Hall Of Fame Jacket

by

Kobe Bryant will be inducted into the Basketball Hall Of Fame on Saturday and it is going to be a very emotional moment. After passing away back in January of 2020, it was announced that Kobe would be inducted alongside two of his biggest rivals in Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett. It was only fitting that it would be this way, and fans can’t wait to see the speeches that will be given by Vanessa Bryant and Michael Jordan.

Last night, the Hall Of Fame had a small banquet where they gave out the rings and Hall Of Fame jackets to the recipients. Vanessa and Natalia Bryant accepted the items and in an emotional moment, Kobe’s oldest daughter Natalia put on the jacket while the crowd chanted “Kobe.”

Vanessa looked incredibly proud of her daughter and it was a moment that left a lot of people with tears in their eyes. Kobe’s death is still incredibly difficult to process and it’s hard to believe he won’t get to see his Hall of Fame induction. While this may be the case, his family is committed to honoring his legacy, and Saturday is set to be a celebratory day. We’re sure Kobe would be incredibly proud if he was here to witness it.

J. Cole Takes It From South Carolina To NYC On “95.south”

by

For any hip-hop head who has been constantly debated the narrative surrounding J. Cole’s GOAT-ness (at least in comparison to Drake and Kendrick Lamar), The Off-Season should put most criticism to rest. The South Carolina rapper’s latest body of work was released in time for his debut in the Africa Basketball League so who better to open up the project than another rapper that can relate to the basketball-to-rapper grind?

Cam’ron is the first voice to open up The Off-Season on “95.south.” Unfortunately, he doesn’t deliver a verse but he sets the tone for Cole to follow. “Don’t check your watch, you know the time. Cole World,” Cam declares on the intro before J. Cole comes in with guns blazing. The three-minute intro finds Cole tearing through a similar sample to Jay-Z’s “U Don’t Know.” Cam’s narration carries through the track while Lil Jon ties it together at the end of the trunk with a much-needed revitalization of crunk music.

Check the song below. 

Quotable Lyrics
Bitch, my pen to the paper’s lethal
I’m sendin’ ’em straight to meet the
The n***a that made them, peep the reaper
Creepin’ on ya, the scent of failure reekin’ on ya
Check your genitalia, pussy-n***as bleedin’ on yourself
