Kanye West Continues Bianca Censori’s Birthday Celebration With Dubai Trip & Massive Bouquet

by

It’s been a thrilling and lovely past few days for Kanye West’s wife, Bianca Censori. The Australian model/architect turned 30 this past Sunday, January 5 and she’s been living large. The festivities began back in the Maldives at a relaxing and lavish beach resort. There, the contentious couple got their groove on and shared some intimate moments they were surely never forget. Outside of some folks sneaking some footage of their quality time on social media, Ye has been showing his love for Bianca as well online. Of course, the posts have not been the most traditional, but neither is their relationship.

Kanye West hopped on his Instagram to post a black and white video of Bianca in a bathtub completely naked. With the audio completely cut, it’s not possible to determine what she’s saying. But the point is, Kanye is never afraid to share how much love and admiration he has for his partner. “Happy birthday baby,” he captioned the clip. With her actual birthday now past her, you may think they are done celebrating. However, the opposite is true this time around.

Bianca Censori Shows Off Her Incredible Birthday Gift From Kanye West To Her Loved Ones

According to TMZ, there’s now more internet sleuths sharing videos of the high-profile couple in Dubai. It’s not confirmed if Ye got her this second trip too, but there’s definitely a strong chance as he usually goes all out for his lady. In the clips above, they can be seen walking into some fancy and dimly lit restaurant in what appears to be in some tower.

However, it’s what Kanye gifted Bianca that has folks talking. He’s been known to always go for the large and over-the-top bouquets, and this time is no different. It’s harder to tell, but you can see she’s cradling a ginormous one as they head to their table where he friends and family await. But that’s not all, as a beautiful all-white cake with sparklers galore is also a part of this package. It’s so tall that she even needed a ladder to reach the top of it. They appear to be having the time of their lives following some rampant divorce rumors, and they continue to show how madly in love they are with one another,

Drake Compares UMG Dispute To Nike Funding LeBron James Cheating Rumors

by

In November of last year, Drake decided to take legal action against Universal Music Group (UMG) over Kendrick Lamar’s hit diss track, “Not Like Us.” In a pre-action petition filed in Texas, he accused the label and Spotify of artificially boosting the song, alleged that UMG could have prevented its release and more. This quickly earned mixed reactions from fans and peers. While many rushed to clown Drake, and accuse him of being jealous of Kendrick’s success, others believe there’s a chance he could change the industry for good.

This appears to be his goal, based on a series of new DMs shared by Chris Blake Griffith on Instagram today. In the since-deleted screenshot, Drake claims that he’s trying to make things better for other artists in the future. “Me and Universal is like if Nike was funding a campaign about Lebron cheating on his wife,” he wrote in part. “Not Adidas or Reebok… Nike the company he been with since he started. My situation is not no street sh*t.”

“Everybody before me that tried the label was too eccentric so they wrote them off as crazy and they never had to pay for their sins and mistakes,” he continued. “I’m going to change that and make the building a safer place for every artist moving forward.” This isn’t the only update involving Drake that has social media users split, however. Recently, the Toronto hitmaker’s father Dennis Graham also raised suspicions by deleting an old photo of his granddaughter from his Instagram page.

Some Kendrick fans promptly theorized that this was because the child in the photo was the secret daughter he accuses Drake of hiding in his song “Meet The Grahams.” Others point out that the child could also just be one of Drake’s half-siblings’ kids, including the sister he seemingly raps about in his new “Fighting Irish Freestyle.”

Rolling Loud California 2025 Announces Lineup: A$AP Rocky, Playboi Carti, Peso Pluma, Sexyy Red and More!

by

Rolling Loud, the iconic multi-city hip-hop festival, has officially revealed its highly anticipated lineup for 2025, marking its third edition in Inglewood, California. This year, the festival will take place on March 15 and 16 at Hollywood Park, located just beside SoFi Stadium. Tickets for the event will go live on Friday, January 10 at 12 AM PT, promising fans a weekend packed with unforgettable performances.

Headlining Saturday is none other than A$AP Rocky, whose set will be accompanied by an exciting array of artists, including YG, Sexyy Red, Ski Mask the Slump God, Larry June, BossMan Dlow, Ab-Soul, Xavier Wulf, Cash Cobain, Osamason, Xaviersobased, and many more.

On Sunday, Playboi Carti takes the stage as the headline act, joined by Ken Carson, Blxst, Destroy Lonely, Quavo, 03 Greedo, Dom Kennedy, Tee Grizzley, Luh Tyler, AzChike, TiaCorine, Kamaiyah, and a host of other rising stars. Additionally, Peso Pluma, the Latin music sensation, will make his Rolling Loud debut as a special guest, though it’s yet to be confirmed which day he will perform.

One notable change for 2025 is Rolling Loud’s decision to shorten the festival from three days to two. Co-founders Matt Zingler and Tariq Cherif expressed their excitement about the change, saying, “We’re excited to switch things up with a two-day format that keeps all the energy of Rolling Loud but makes it more affordable for our fans. By cutting down a day, we can offer the same epic lineup, dope activations, and unforgettable vibes at a price that’s easier on the wallet. At the end of the day, it’s all about making sure everyone can come together to celebrate hip-hop without breaking the bank.”

Rolling Loud California 2025 promises to continue its legacy of showcasing hip-hop’s biggest names alongside up-and-coming talent. The festival has become a staple for fans and artists alike, cementing itself as one of the premier events for hip-hop culture.

Kaytranada Got Roasted Like A Pheasant After Admitting To Being ‘Musty’ Because Of Lost Luggage

Ever since the rise of social media, the impulse to scream into the void has pulled at us all. Unfortunately, there is oftentimes something lurking in the void, waiting to scream back: A bloodthirsty mob of meme-slingers and self-professed insult comics dying to roast us into oblivion for getting a little too vulnerable in the public square.

Poor Kaytranada, like many of us, forgot that the square is indeed public, logging onto Twitter (never “X”) to bemoan another mishap that might be familiar around this time of the year: The airport lost his luggage on New Year’s Day after he landed in South Africa for the overseas leg of his Timeless tour. Hence, for the past six days, Kaytra has, by his own admission, “wearing the same clothes,” which he described as “musty.”

“I can’t believe I been wearing the same clothes for the past 5 days,” he wrote. “Went to the concert, to the clerb, to the gym, musty and all.”

The tweet itself is gone now — because why would you even tweet that, let alone leave it up once the roast session began — but the damage was done. The producer is used to heating up the club with his productions, but today, he probably feels like he has a lot in common with the game birds that were devoured over the past month — plucked, roasted, fried, and otherwise cooked, as many of those lighting him up were locals. South Africans, if you don’t know, are some of the deadliest insult artists in the game today. No amount of “Witchy” is getting him out of this one.

The prevailing sentiment seems to be that he probably should have just gone shopping (although, admittedly, doing so without some kind of guide in Cape Town can get a little dicey). “Kaytranada being musty and wearing the same clothes for 5 days bc his airline lost his luggage is no excuse,” summed up one prolific user. “My luggage got lost before. I went to Target and bought some sweats, white tees, socks and draws. Like $80 altogether. You cannot surrender as easily as he did to the musty. You must fight the musty with all that is in you.”

“The rand is R18 to the $,” another reminded the DJ. “I’m going to need you at the mall before lunchtime.” I told: South Africans are poets.

Lil Baby, Rod Wave, Rylo Rodriguez Gamble Massive Stacks Of Cash In Their ‘By Myself’ Video

by

Back in December, Lil Baby revealed to his labelmate Lil Yachty that while working on his new album, he accidentally gambled away over $8 million at a casino. In the video for “By Myself,” from his new album, WHAM (Who Hard As Me), he nods to this penchant but keeps it decidedly lower key, opting to shoot dice in a hallway with the song’s featured artists, Rod Wave and Rylo Rodriguez.

Of course, whether it’s the massive stacks of cash he trades with Rod and Rylo in the “By Myself” video or the ridiculous sums he frittered away in Vegas, Baby knows he’s almost certain to recoup, thanks to moves like making WHAM‘s extended edition a digital download or plotting to release two albums in one year, as he told Yachty. Should his new albums perform the way his past ones have, he’s looking at a lucrative 2025, indeed.

The second album, which will be titled Dominique (Lil Baby’s real first name), will be “more personal,” according to Baby, although he says he did “still put some of the songs I was gonna use for Dominique on WHAM ’cause I know my fan base really want to hear them certain songs.”

You can watch Lil Baby’s “By Myself” video featuring Rod Wave and Rylo Rodriguez above.

Charlamagne Tha God Feels Drake Wrote A “Heartbreak Record” About LeBron James With His Freestyle

by

No matter what direction Drake decides to go in post beef, he’s getting laughed at and torn down. His latest effort to address his issues with others came in the form of a recent freestyle. It’s apparently called “Fighting Irish,” and its response to everyone he feels has betrayed him in some capacity. Over the last couple of days, there’s been loads of speculation as to who he’s talking about. Some include DeMar DeRozan, J. Cole, Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, and even LeBron James. The latter seems to be most obvious of all of them, as Drake appears to be bothered by The King’s adoration for Kendrick Lamar.

His appearance at the Pop Out last summer and him visibly enjoying himself is just one thing that The Boy references. “The world fell in love with the gimmicks, even my brothers got tickets / Seemed like they loved every minute” he raps. These bars and more continue to drive discourse and also some backlash towards The Boy. Many have been calling him soft and feel like he’s going about this in the wrong way. It is a little crazy though to see how people have been waiting for Drake to hit the booth more instead of staying on social media.

It’s Safe To Say That Charlamagne Tha God Isn’t A Fan Of Drake’s Freestyle

Still, his efforts in dropping this track did not appease the haters, further proving that he’s going to remain a court jester for some time. In terms of how critics have been reacting, The Joe Budden Podcast is quite indifferent to final product. Charlamagne tha God and The Breakfast Club are also getting in on the conversation, but it’s nothing too positive.

Overall, Jess Hilarious and Charlamagne are the ones that have issues with it. DJ Envy is more understanding to why Drake has issues with LeBron. However, the others couldn’t help but laugh at Drake’s attempt. Jess and Charlamagne view it is a “love letter” or “heartbreak record” about him and LeBron essentially breaking up. They see it as more of an R&B record and Drake “breaking up with all of his NBA boos in his head.” But Charlamagne even took it a step further saying that Drizzy sounded “g*y” in his approach. This had some fans outraged and fed up with his constant disliking of the Canadian MC.

Rolling Loud California Announces Its 2025 Roster Including A$AP Rocky, Playboi Carti, And More

by

2025 is here and Rolling Loud is promising a new era following their epic 10th anniversary in Miami. They are promoting a “new music, new lineups, new movie, and new era” campaign and we are ecstatic for what’s to come. Every year they manage to provide tons of excitement not only to music in general, but hip-hop especially. The first Rolling Loud festival for this year will be in Inglewood, California at Hollywood Park. But instead of the usual three days, it’s being cut down to just the weekend. But don’t worry. This lineup and the prices they are advertising should make up for it!

Just a couple of hours ago, they posted the full lineup and ticket sales information. So, without further ado, let’s break it down. Let’s start with admissions because the deal Rolling Loud is offering is quite respectable. They are heavily pushing this weekend pass which costs $179 out the door. It breaks down to $89.50 per day and it’s a general admission type of ticket. It’s worth noting that for one day for last year’s event it was $179. In terms of when you can buy your way in, first access is this Friday, January 10 at 11 a.m. PT.

Rolling Loud California Will Take Place March 15-16

Or if you miss out then, general on sale starts just an hour later the same day. As for why they are shifting to this two-day format, Matt Zingler and Tariq Cherif, the two founders of Rolling Loud, released a statement explaining why. “We’re excited to switch things up with a two-day format that keeps all the energy of Rolling Loud but makes it more affordable for our fans. By cutting down a day, we can offer the same epic lineup, dope activations, and unforgettable vibes at a price that’s easier on the wallet.”

They went on to add, “At the end of the day, it’s all about making sure everyone can come together to celebrate hip-hop without breaking the bank.” Now, who’s going to be performing? Well we have some veterans headlining and a first timer as well. A$AP Rocky and Playboi Carti are returning as main acts, while Peso Pluma is going to be the third to complete the trio. This marks the first time that a non-hip-hop artist is going to be one of the main attractions. It’s a deserving honor considering how much he blew up last year with his album, EXODO. Other acts will include Sexyy Red, BossMan Dlow, Larry June, ian, YG, and more.

Karrahbooo Accuses Lil Yachty’s Concrete Rekordz Of Preventing Her From Releasing New Music

by

Following Karrahbooo’s unexpected departure from the Concrete Boys in July of last year, things between her and Lil Yachty got ugly. The two of them traded various jabs online, and it was later rumored that she’d been dropped by Concrete Rekordz altogether. Yesterday, however, she unveiled a video on YouTube to accompany her new song “Bossy Booo.” She also took the opportunity to shut these rumors down in the description and provide fans with a brief update. She made it clear that she is still signed to the label. According to her, this is why she’s been unable to release new music over the past few months.

“I didn’t get dropped i’m still signed hence the reason i have not been able to drop,” her message begins. “I was advised not to drop this way and do it through the ‘label’ (the one that said they dropped me but would not let me go because they wanted me to stay lol, the one that has repeatedly lied on my name to make me look bad in the media and has been pushing away bookings and deals.”

“I could keep going but the point is this industry is weird and confusing and this is all messy af and taking up too much time,” she also added. “They dragging it, i tried to listen and do it the ‘right way’ but it’s been 6 months now so imma go ahead n try my way.” Karrahbooo’s statement arrives just months after she accused “soulless people” of trying to ruin her career and silence her. She didn’t name any names.

On her Instagram Story, she claimed that whenever someone tries to speak out against these unnamed individuals, they face retribution. “It never goes good,” she also said at the time. “These people will do anything to they can to hurt u and make you look crazy in the media.”
