He’s previously been critical of Saweetie and her relationship with Quavo, and it doesn’t look as if Akademiks is letting up. Recently, Akademiks gave his opinions on the Migos’s next season, and according to him, it will be lucrative. “The Post Saweetie era for Quavo finna be legendary.. I’m calling it. She was dead weight holding mans back. He already rapping different,” he tweeted. “Offset been rapping like cardi in the next room going thru his phone.. he snapping like a mf.”

Following the release of the latest ‘fight in an elevator video’ to take over Hip Hop headlines, Akademiks claims that Saweetie and Quavo were “fighting over the birkins” as the bag seen in the clip resembles the Hermès brand’s shopping tote. “They finna do Quavo like Ray Rice…” the blogger tweeted. “That elevator video w/ Quavo and Saweetie …….. wild. Glad they aint together no more. Clearly their relationship only look good on the gram.. it was toxic and abusive asf.”

Once his comments went viral, Akademiks returned to say, “Black twitter stay having me trend lol I swear I’m just the placeholder for y’all to take out y’all hate. I’m the only n*gga I seen that can unite black twitter on any issue lol… they unite to hate me . Somebody gotta be the sacrificial lamb.” 

Neither Quavo nor Saweetie has spoken out about this altercation. Check out Akademiks’s posts below.

Drake’s mansion is damn-near a tourist attraction at this point. Located in the affluent Bridle Path area in Toronto, his $100M was the star of 2020’s “Toosie Slide” music video, as well as his rare interview with RapRadar. On top of that, his basketball court inside of his home is often spotted on OVO-affiliate Instagram accounts during their rec. league.

Unfortunately, it seems that the amount of attention that his home has received has brought a superfan to his doorsteps who was allegedly wielding a knife. According to The Sun, police arrested a woman outside of Drake’s Toronto home who was allegedly carrying a large blade. Police said, “A female adult that was carrying a knife has been arrested.”

“She did not gain any kind of entry into the property and there were no injuries,” police said, confirming that she does not know the Toronto rapper personally. “It is not clear what she was doing at the residence but she had no communication whatsoever with the homeowner.”

There was heavy police presence surrounding Drake’s home prior to the arrest. It’s unclear if Drake was at his home at the time that the intruder attempted to get onto his property.

Police said there were not any injuries. We’ll keep you posted on anymore updates surrounding the information at Drake’s mansion in Toronto.

His unfiltered commentary often causes friction, but no one expected Michael Rapaport to engage in a heated back and forth with Kevin Durant. The actor decided to air out the NBA star on social media by sharing a set of screenshots of a DM conversation. It seems that the beginning exchange occurred a few days before Christmas 2020. Durant sent Rapaport a screenshot of a tweet where the actor says Durant was “deeply in his feelings” during an interview after a game and added that the ball player is “super sensitive about everything.” Durant replied, “U a b*tch.”

Rapaport defended his statement before Durant explained why he acted the way he did during the interview, and later, Rapaport took aim at the Brooklyn Nets baller once again in his Instagram Story. Durant noticed the tag and was about that life. “I swear ima spit in your face when I see your dirty ass,” Durant allegedly wrote. “Bet your life on it.” Then, Durant dropped off locations where they could meet face-to-face.

when he noticed that the tension was going beyond a conversation, Rapaport deviates to telling Durant to help children in Brooklyn. Durant wasn’t moved. “You a b*tch for even caring how I do an interview,” he wrote. “All u do is c*ck suck other men for attention. Trump didn’t pay attention to your sorry ass so now u wanna use everybody else to get views and laughs. Your life is a joke u F*ckin pale c*ck sucker.”

There were more screenshots that showed a stream of messages allegedly from Durant as he teased Rapaport for suing someone for defamation of character. “How p*ssy are you. Your wife doesn’t even respect your b*tch ass.” In the caption, Rapaport claimed that Durant threatened his life. Viewers have speculated that Rapaport may have delted his responses before posting the screenshots, but that hasn’t been proven.

“As most of you know, I receive threats and disgusting messages DAILY, but never in my wildest dreams did I think @easymoneysniper would be among them,” Rapaport wrote in the caption. “The [snake emoji] himself is now threatening me, bringing up my wife and wants to fight. This is supposed to be America’s sweetheart right? KD didn’t get ‘hacked’ either. Hold this L champ.”

As expected, the internet didn’t disappoint with its reactions. Check out a few posts below.

It looks like Jeezy and Jeannie Mai might soon be getting ready to tie the knot. We’re nearing the one-year mark since the couple announced their engagement and it seems like their wedding day could be coming soon.

According to the Fulton County Court Clerk in Georgia, the couple applied for a marriage license on Monday, per TMZ. However, there is a window of time for when getting married once the license is issued. In George, there’s a six-month timeframe which would mean that they might officially be Mr. & Mrs. Jenkins before 2021 comes to an end.

Jeannie Mai and Jeezy first revealed that they were a couple in fall 2019 and have since been open about their relationship on both social media and interviews. Shortly after their engagement, Jeezy detailed why he decided to propose to her during an appearance on The Fat Joe Show. “When you get the one, you can’t even play with it,” he explained. “When you locked in mentally, that’s the battle right there. You want to build, you want to grow.” 

Though the two haven’t announced a wedding date, Jeannie Mai previously revealed that she and Jeezy will be having two ceremonies to honor and celebrate both of their cultural traditions. 

We’ll keep you posted on any more updates on the couple’s wedding plans.

On February 15th, beloved lyricist CyHi The Prynce nearly lost his life in a failed shooting that ultimately left his car flipped and totaled in Atlanta. 

Following the disturbing incident, CyHi gathered his thoughts in an emotional Instagram reflection. “A couple nights ago there was an attempt on my life,” he captioned. “Somebody tried to gun me down on the highway. tried everything I could do to lose them, but they were adamant about taking me off this earth. They were shooting at me while I was driving and even after my car flipped, hit a pole and crashed into a tree, they came back and shot the car up some more.”

A little over a month since the shooting transpired, CyHi The Prynce took a moment to speak with HipHopDX, where he shared a theory about what might have drove his attackers to act. “To me, I feel like it could have been a mistaken identity because I do have a vehicle that a lot of other stars and MCs have that are here,” he reflects. “But also when I’m out of town and I’m doing my Wyoming thing, Sunday Service and writing for other artists, I do have loved ones and friends who might be indulging in things that may not necessarily connect to me or I may necessarily not know about. Because I’m not in the loop like I was when I was a lot younger.”

“It could be that,” he muses. “Or like I said, a random mistaken identity. I really haven’t gotten to the bottom of it. I’m just staying out of the way until I get more information on it.” He explains that the gravity of what might have been took a while to sink in, emphasizing the finality of death. “It dawned on me people would never hear my music again,” he reflects. “People would never hear from me again. It’s almost like labels would be calling my mom and stuff like, ‘Yo, can we do a posthumous album on your son?’ That would be terrible.”

He proceeds to reiterate his theory on mistaken identity, explaining that he’d like to clear the air should his attackers be watching. “I do think that the guys who did this to me didn’t know who I was,” says CyHI. “It’s kind of like for me to be able to clear the air if they are watching these interviews or if they do hear about it. It’s like, ‘Oh, that ain’t the guy we were looking for.’ I can get more information versus if I just keep it to myself. It’s like I don’t know what’s going on, I’m looking over my shoulder.” He also maintains that he’s no longer affiliated with any activity from his past, and while he may have undergone a traumatic experience, he doesn’t feel comfortable seeking resolution in therapy.
