Young Buck attempted to rewrite his narrative of the last three years by telling his followers that his entire feud with 50 Cent, which included years of insults and transphobic remarks, was staged with the sole intention of re-establishing Buck’s music career. The former G-Unit rapper said that the plan was orchestrated by Fiddy to tear down Buck in order to build him back up, but 50 has officially responded and he says that Buck is lying about their beef being staged.

In his reported response to Young Buck’s live stream where he claimed that 50 Cent planned this entire teardown of the rapper’s character by dragging him over an alleged relationship with a trans woman, Fif told Buck to “stop lying” and insulted him yet again, proving perhaps that their feud wasn’t orchestrated in the first place.

“SMH,” wrote 50 Cent in an alleged since-deleted reply, which was picked up by hip-hop blogs on social media. “He only makes a fool of him self and the transgender man he was dating for a year gets angry every time he says he got cat fished stop lying Damn!”

In a recent interview with VladTV, Young Buck claimed that he was catfished by a transgender woman, who he thought was a cisgender woman. He says that he never engaged in sexual intercourse with the woman or had any type of relationship with her.

Do you think Buck is lying about the beef being fake?

Make no mistake, DJ Khaled’s Khaled Khaled album is coming. He’s been making it abundantly clear that album mode is well underway, having recently teased collaborations with Post Malone, H.E.R, Migos, Travis Scott, and more. Though he has yet to confirm a release window for the forthcoming body of work, previous patterns indicate that a summer drop is certainly a possibility. Especially given that he appears to be working on new material for the project, taking to Instagram to tease a few key collaborations.

For one, Khaled appears to have landed yet another verse from Nas, with whom he has previously worked on highlight tracks like “Nas Album Done,” “It’s Secured” with Travis Scott, and “Won’t Take My Soul” with CeeLo Green. Given how frequently the pair have collaborated on this point, it’s all but expected to see Nas popping up whenever Khaled delivers an album. “KHALED KHALED x NAS ALBUM MODE it’s special alert,” writes the mogul, alongside a few flicks of their reunion.

Shortly after linking up with Nas, Khaled went on to connect with Roddy Ricch and his team, presumably to facilitate the pair’s first collaboration. Unsurprising, given Khaled’s well-honed instinct for orchestrating hits and Roddy’s involvement in a few of the game’s biggest recent tracks. “Busy day! Amazing day ! BLESS Up!” captions Khaled. “@roddyricch ! Love brother ! KHALED KHALED ALBUM MODE!” Check out pictures of their meeting below, and sound off if you’re excited for a new album from the bestselling DJ.

Late Brooklyn rapper Pop Smoke was on pace to enjoy a seriously prolific career in the music industry, which is evidenced by the success of his debut studio album Shoot For The Stars, Aim For The Moon. Executive produced by rap legend 50 Cent, the album was released in July 2020 and it has been an enormous victory for the late music star. Though it’s heartbreaking that Pop isn’t here to witness the impact he had on the world, the Brooklyn drill rapper has posthumously been in the driver’s seat for hit-after-hit, including viral sensations like “What You Know Bout Love” and “Mood Swings” with Lil Tjay.

On Tuesday, it was reported that Pop Smoke’s debut album Shoot For The Stars, Aim For The Moon had spent an astonishing nineteen weeks at #1 on Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, tying a record with Prince’s iconic album Purple Rain. It is now being reported by Complex that the album also broke a record on Billboard’s Top Rap Albums list, clocking in twenty weeks at #1 and surpassing a previous record held by Eminem’s Recovery, which spent nineteen weeks at the top in 2010-11.

Eminem might have lost a record on this one but he gained a tremendous accomplishment this week with Curtain Call spending an entire decade on the charts at a total of five-hundred and twenty weeks on the Billboard 200. Will it ever leave?

Congratulations to Pop Smoke’s estate on the posthumous success of Shoot For The Stars, Aim For The Moon. Long live Pop Smoke.

Takeoff is the most underrated member of the Migos, but he’s also the quietest rapper within the group. While he has often been hailed as the glue that holds the three-man team together, Quavo and Offset always get a heightened spotlight shone on their lives. Recently, that much has been proven as true after Quavo’s highly-publicized split from ex-girlfriend Saweetie. Of course, Offset is also always in the news because of his relationship with Cardi B.

With Takeoff remaining the most low-key member of the Migos, he came through with a strong message as the lead-up for Culture III continues. With more and more scrutiny being laid upon Quavo and the bunch, especially on social media forums, Takeoff said that he hopes Migos fans start to give the group their flowers while they can still smell them.

“One Of The Greatest,” said Takeoff on Instagram, sharing a gallery of recent pictures of himself. “Give Us Our [Flowers] While We Can Smell Em That’s All We Ask.”

This past week has undoubtedly been a rough one for Quavo, as well as Takeoff and Offset by extension. The “Lamb Talk” rapper has been slandered in the media because of his accused cheating ways, which, by attachment, have damaged the Migos’ press run by a touch. Many are still expecting this next Migos album to be a good one though.

Are you looking forward to the release of Culture III? Show some love to the Migos in the comments.

A question posed on Instagram may have just resulted in a collaboration. The Navy, as in Rihanna’s fanbase, is ready for the singer to roll out her phantom forthcoming project, but Ri has made it clear that she won’t be rushed. She’s been steadily building her billion-dollar Fenty brand for years, and now that she’s on top of the cosmetics world, Rihanna is looking to stay there.

Still, her fans have been pegging her with questions about the release of her next album and even Pharrell Williams has added to the excitement with the news that The Neptunes have been in the studio with the singer. On Wednesday (March 24), Rihanna slid in IG’s comments to tease that she may, just for kicks, drop off a new single this year to tie us over, and as anticipation continues to build, Hollywood Unlocked wanted to know what woman in the industry Rihanna should collaborate with on said track. 

The options were as follows: Saweetie, Doja Cat, Asian Doll, Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion, and Yung Miami. Rihanna made aware of the post and chimed in with her choice. “Careshaaaaaaaa,” wrote the singer. Yung Miami didn’t hesitate to respond that she’s available. “@badgalriri savage summer 2021 let’s goooooooo [red heart emojis].”

We’ll all have to wait and see if this materializes, but the possibility of a collaboration has caused fanbases of both ladies to implode. Check out the post below and let us know if you think this is a good pairing.
