Ice Spice Has A Hilarious Response To Trolls Hating On Her Weight Loss

Ice Spice has undergone a pretty dramatic fitness journey as of late, and has taken to social media quite often to show off her weight loss in recent months. Of course, a lot of fans expressed their support for her mission to work on herself, whereas others shared more critical perspectives of her transformation. Folks accused the Bronx femcee of using Ozempic or just hated on her new physique. However, it’s clear that she doesn’t put much stock into these troll takes, or at least, she has a lot of energy to respond in kind. The “Think U The S**t” hitmaker seemed to clap back via a recent Instagram post.

Specifically, it’s a meme of a grossed-out Spongebob saying “she mid bro,” seemingly commenting on the types of people who criticize Ice Spice’s looks. There’s nothing like a good meme to rally fans over to your side and engage in some Internet banter in the process. Still, some fan concern could come from more earnest corners, not the blind negativity that she seems to have a particular issue with. But if that were the case, then Spice isn’t responding to that genuine worry just yet.

Ice Spice Isn’t Worried About Folks Hating On Her Weight Loss

Maybe she will one day, but given just how much hate she has to deal with online for much more important reasons, she probably has other priorities in mind. Ice Spice has a big career to sustain and nurture, whether that’s through new music or through extracurricular ventures such as her Fortnite collab. While she did receive a lot of negative criticism this year for her musical output, it was also still a massive year for her, and certainly not one that she can’t follow up more explosively in 2025.

Nevertheless, only time will tell if Ice Spice’s star is starting to fade or if it’s just now catching its spark. In either case, she will probably continue to ward the haters off and use all the negative attention towards her to her advantage. Sadly, a lot of female rappers have to adopt this strategy to get to the real meat of criticism towards them, not the misogynistic and close-minded perspective that usually overwhelms their online presences.

Andrew Schulz Is Wondering Where All The “K Bots” Are Amid Kendrick Lamar Backlash

Andrew Schulz has had quite the hectic past few weeks, as an alleged diss on Kendrick Lamar’s new album GNX made him assume full clap-back mode. For those unaware, Kendrick seemed to reference him in critical fashion on “wacced out murals,” and then the comedian answered with scathing callouts and insensitive jokes about the rapper. All in all, this really wouldn’t be such a huge controversy; after all, that’s comedians’ job. But Schulz’s response, egging on triggered K.Dot fans, has just dug his hole that much deeper thanks to how flippantly he’s taking the whole thing. In other words, he could’ve just let this slide and it would’ve been over by now… But he just had to double down.

“Everybody got quiet all the sudden, what happened?” Andrew Schulz tweeted on Friday night (December 6). “Y’all turn the K Bots off? Put them bots back on guys I was just getting warmed up.” For those unaware, he’s referring to the accusation that Kendrick Lamar is purposefully using bots this year to boost his streams and defend the massive fallout to the Drake battle.

Andrew Schulz Wants Kendrick Lamar Backlash To Continue

Not only that, but Andrew Schulz also directly responded to many critics of his Kendrick Lamar comments, whether it’s Ice Cube’s son or Meek Mill. Clearly, he’s not taking any of this super seriously, and is just looking for more engagement and attention by feeding off of folks’ indignation. We can’t really blame Schulz for doing so, though, as that’s what he became famous for and it’s natural that he would want to defend himself. Yet given the context of not just the racial dynamics at play here, but also the nature of the comedian’s insults towards Kendrick, many fans still feel like he is missing the point.

Meanwhile, Kendrick Lamar never even mentioned Andrew Schulz by name, and we doubt he will ever clarify his intent. So the comedian has free reign to direct this narrative, benefit from it, and jokingly call out some hypocrisies, assumptions, or soft spots. As such, we’re not really surprised that he wants people to keep going at him and insulting him. Schulz is just experiencing what every big social media narrative undergoes: people lose interest.

Darius Jackson Had To Call Keke Palmer To Remember Their Son’s Birthday

Darius Jackson has to tread lightly on the Internet due to his divisive relationship with Keke Palmer and the scandals that they faced. With that in mind, we have no idea why he would choose to reveal via his Instagram Story that he almost forgot their son Leodis’ birthday. “Took Leodis to his doctor’s appointment back in September & barely knew his date of birth..” Jackson wrote. “His mom was on speed dial & the nanny also helped answer the other questions. But we got it done! Which is all that matters.” It was back in September, Darius; why do you do this to yourself?!

Jokes aside, people took this a lot more seriously than they probably should, thanks to the context of Keke Palmer and Darius Jackson’s relationship. “It got so out of control,” the former told PEOPLE of their extinguished bond. “The only way I knew how to bring order was through the court. […] Not just with my romantic relationships, but with family and friends, [my fame has] always become a burden. Too many voices get in. It can make everybody else not trust you. It’s hard to explain.”

Darius Jackson Gets Roasted By Keke Palmer Fans After Forgetting Their Son’s Birthday

However, it’s important to note that Darius Jackson and Keke Palmer are in a much better place now and are very happy for each other in the public eye. In fact, it seems like the two want to commit to a healthy and cooperative coparenting relationship when it comes to their baby boy Leodis, as they went out for a zoo trip earlier this year after their public falling-out. Of course, fans continue to debate whether these signs of goodwill owe themselves to a genuine desire to heal or to their wishes to clean up their act on social media.

But frankly, that’s an irrelevant conversation that’s none of our business. The important thing is that Keke Palmer and Darius Jackson seemingly moved past the more serious parts of their allegations against each other and feel comfortable with supporting each other through this new phase of their intertwined lives. Let’s just hope that they don’t lose their memory any more than they seemingly already have…

BigXthaPlug Kicks Fans Out Of His Show For Picking A Fight In The Crowd

BigXthaPlug rocked the stage in Los Angeles last night (Wednesday, December 4), but some particularly rowdy fans interrupted his good time. Moreover, he was performing his hit song “Law & Order” during his show at The Regent in downtown L.A. for his sold-out TAKE CARE tour when he saw two men fighting in the crowd. The Dallas rapper stopped the show and instructed security to escort the men out of the venue. In fact, he seemed peeved by the fact that they weren’t even taking their fight seriously or fighting over anything significant, which was another reason to kick them out.

As for the rest of the show, from what TMZ Hip Hop reports, everything went quite smoothly for BigXthaPlug, and you can see footage of the fight by clicking on the “Via” link down below. The rest of the crowd proved to not act as disruptively, and he could run through the rest of his fan favorites with no hiccup. The “Therapy Session” MC has had plenty of hot tracks over the years, especially in 2024. There’s no shortage of bangers on this setlist.

In fact, BigXthaPlug’s explosive run in 2024 landed him a spot on this year’s XXL Freshman Class alongside 4batx, Hunxho, Scar Lip, Rich Amiri, Cash Cobain, Maiya The Don, Skilla Baby, That Mexican OT, Lay Bankz, and Bossman Dlow. Even though this year’s biggest rap stories revolved around most of its established superstars, seeing this new generation captivate fans in a different way became quite the treat to witness in 2024. Hopefully BigX continues this dominance into 2025, or if he decides to take a break, he furthers his craft and artistry to another level.

Still, we hope that BigXthaPlug can enjoy that success without having to play babysitter for rowdy concert-goers. “The Largest” might just become that much larger next year, especially if his knack for grimy bangers and triumphant trap gets more and more engrossing. Even though fans might not show the due respect for some shows here and there, he doesn’t need much more to really establish himself as a performance force. Just fight for real if you’re going to interrupt a BigX show, or preferably, not at all.

Cam’ron & Mase React To Draya Michele Eviction Drama And Rope Jalen Green Into It

New York Jets quarterback Tyrod Taylor reportedly tried to get police to evict his ex girlfriend, Draya Michele, from the Los Angeles home he bought for them. Moreover, there are a lot of conflicting claims here, primarily the idea that they had an arrangement in which Michele would rent out and eventually purchase the property. But it seems like once she started dating Houston Rockets hooper Jalen Green, Taylor changed his mind and allegedly filed an eviction lawsuit against her. However, Michele claims that he never properly served her, so she suffered a default judgement. As you can probably tell, it’s all pretty complicated right now. But Mase and Cam’ron are here to make it easy for you.

Moreover, the two addressed this situation on their sports talk show It Is What It Is, roping in the highly publicized relationship between Draya Michele and Jalen Green. Mase posited that, if Michele has a new boyfriend in Green, then he should be the one who lets her stay over, not Tyrod Taylor. Cam’ron seemed to agree, but he couldn’t help but understand why the basketball player would want to keep Michele at a distance.

Cam’ron & Mase Discuss Draya Michele Situation

Overall, they had some other jokes and assessments about the Draya Michele eviction situation, which at least did not turn out to be as controversial as other sports headlines recently. In fact, Cam’ron and Mase even took a little responsibility for LaMello Ball making a homophobic joke on air recently. “I blame myself, I really do, man,” Cam shared. “I blame the east side of Harlem. You got this in Jefferson Projects probably in 1996 when we were saying this. And before that — what the f**k? God damn, we did this a long time. To be honest with you, this is why we started saying ‘Pause.’ We used to say what Melo said, but we were like, ‘The people are sensitive, you get fined.’ And that’s why we don’t say it anymore.”

Meanwhile, Draya Michele has her own scandals to handle, and they don’t even have anything to do with Tyrod Taylor or Jalen Green. We’ll see how all these sagas continue to evolve and maybe even inform each other.

Drake Goes Full Gambling Ad Mode In Corny New Promo Video For Stake

Drake may be dealing with a whole lot of controversy these days, but he would never let external pressures throw him off his bag-chasing game. Moreover, he recently released an Instagram ad for the gambling company Stake – with which he’s long been affiliated – that, despite its corniness, is a pretty crucial ego boost for The Boy amid a pretty difficult time. “Daddy, why do we have so much money?” his new ad asks, presumably from the perspective of his son Adonis Graham. “Because I never gave up,” it answers in text. Cue the eye-roll. “I rarely celebrate anything,” Drizzy says in the clip.

“Just for anyone watching this that’s wondering how this happened, it’s being so unsure how you’re getting it done that you just kind of keep going in the hopes of figuring out the formula,” Drake shares. The ad itself shows off many of his luxurious possessions, such as his “Air Drake” private plane and his fancy cars, while also adding footage of him winning big while gambling and playing some royalty-free-sounding piano keys in the ad’s background. It’s probably a nice reminder of the 6ix God’s success amid his legal battle against Universal Music Group and Spotify.

Meanwhile, Drake also appeared in some more ridiculous stories this week, including a wild claim from Azealia Banks. “Damnnn.. you wanna suck Drake d**k that bad?” one fan asked Banks in response to her defense of his moves against UMG and Spotify. “AND DID!!!!!!!!” she replied. Of course, maybe this is just a troll, but with how quickly word spreads on the Internet, take it with a barrel of salt and don’t pay it much mind.

But all these conversations around the legal petition put Drake in one of his most challenging trials of public opinion and scrutiny. At least he will always have Stake to manifest these energies into max wins. Elsewhere, folks continue to discuss the Toronto superstar at length, such as Joe Budden speaking on previously unfulfilled collabs with him back in the day. The roulette table certainly helps to keep these distractions out of sight and out of mind.

50 Cent Playfully Trolls Tony Yayo While Throwing Shade At Drake

50 Cent poked fun at Tony Yayo in a new video on Instagram, trolling him during a recent trip on a private jet. In a clip captioned, “My life behind the scenes,” 50 catches Yayo listening to music on his headphones. “You get a pass if you listening to Kendrick sh*t,” 50 said. After pulling off Yayo’s headphones, he joked: “N***a, that’s Drake. That’s Drake you got in there.”

Fans in the comments section have been loving 50’s post. “Yayo the only man allowed to shout back at 50 cent,” one user joked with laughing emojis. Another celebrated 50’s legacy. “I used to not like you just because I was naive and from The west coast and the game dissed you. As I got older I realize you were the true OG and have done way more than game as ever done in his career. You a definition of a true OG,” they wrote.

The Drake trolling is surprising from 50, considering he’s previously defended the Toronto rapper in his feud against Kendrick Lamar. “I was telling him, it’s not him,” 50 Cent recalled during an interview with Billboard. “I’m listening on the outskirts, it’s not you. Don’t let yourself think that for a second. On some real sh*t, I said, ‘They said you lost, okay. Well what did you lose?’ What exactly did he lose if he got $300 something million on his last tour? You didn’t lose a motherf**king thing, man.”

50 Cent Pokes Fun At Tony Yayo

Lamar dropped his new album, GNX, last month. He’s planning on embarking on a stadium tour with SZA to promote the project in 2025. Check out 50 Cent’s trolling of Tony Yayo below.

Ray J says that someone smashed in his car window and he knows why. He showed off the damages in a video on his Instagram Story, this week. “That’s what it’s come to,” he says to the camera after showing that he had kids’ car seats inside the vehicle. “For what I’m tryna do? And you know I know. Like, I know. Okay…alright.”

The latest drama comes after Ray got into an alleged altercation with Diddy’s sons, Christian, Quincy, and Justin after a Halloween party in Los Angeles. Ray’s longtime manager, David Weintraub, confirmed the incident to TMZ, revealing that he and Chris Brown broke up the fight. “Nobody is gonna press Ray J. That’s not going to happen,” Weintraub told the outlet. “It was a great party that got ruined by little kids trying to fight a big boy… [Ray’s] going to say whatever he’s going to say. You’re going to live with it, you’re going to like it, it don’t matter. But nobody’s going to press Ray J, period.”

Ray J Shows Off Shattered Car Window

Ray has made numerous headlines in recent months for discussing the allegations against Diddy publically. Diddy has pleaded not guilty to charges of alleged sex trafficking and racketeering and denied all of the allegations against him. He remains behind bars in Brooklyn while awaiting trial in the case.

Jaidyn Alexis Indulges In Some Thirst Traps As Blueface & Chrisean Rock Drama Heats Up

While Blueface and Chrisean Rock continue to fuel marriage rumors and leave fans wondering as to their status, Jaidyn Alexis would much rather continue her lack of a bother. Moreover, she recently took to social media to post some new thirst traps, and we’re sure that Blue’s ex is very happy to stay mostly out of the loop on whatever’s happening with his saga. The couple continues to draw a lot of attention online, whether for their legal situations behind bars or for their ever-complicated and usually combative family dynamics. Alexis has mostly stayed on the sidelines as of late, so she might not be feeling as overwhelmed as usual with all the antics.

Of course, many of those are by design, but Jaidyn Alexis is always going to find the right time to fall back into things. For example, Blueface’s mother Karlissa Saffold recently chastised Chrisean Rock for seemingly shading Jaidyn on her birthday. As such, she didn’t really have to respond or address the situation further online, because when Saffold’s got your back, you can rest assured that she will leave no Internet stone unturned.

Jaidyn Alexis Dodges Blueface & Chrisean Rock Rumors With Thirst Trap

Apart from Jaidyn Alexis, though, Blueface and Chrisean Rock have many more questions to answer about more than just thirst traps. Karlissa Saffold hopes his face tattoos of Rock are just fake, and that they aren’t actually getting back together like they hinted. “Oh my god, I had the worst nightmare in the world,” Saffold remarked. “I had a dream last night that John tattooed Chrisean Rock’s name on his face. And then I had a dream that he covered it up, and it said ‘Christian.’ Hallelujah. He gonna get it together, Lord. Ain’t he?”

Meanwhile, Jaidyn Alexis will still check fans who claim that she’s happy for Blueface and Chrisean Rock’s troubles and struggles. “Sometimes y’all piss me off,” she retorted to a fan on Instagram Live. “‘How you so happy?’ B***h, I’m working. This is work. Talking about ‘I’m happy.’ You disgust me. Someone’s gotta do it… Sometimes I think y’all don’t realize that real life happens in real-time. And sometimes y’all dumb as f**k. No shade at all.”

Orlando Brown Shocks Fans By Claiming He Slept With His Parents

Orlando Brown often goes viral for all the wrong reasons, and his most recent antic might just take the cake. Moreover, the actor recently appeared on Deshae Frost’s livestream and made everyone that was with him uncomfortable by issuing out yet another ridiculously inappropriate claim. “‘We listen and we don’t judge,’” he read something on Frost’s screen. “I had sex with my mama and my daddy. ‘We listen and we don’t judge!’ I got a baby with my mama and my daddy. ‘We listen and we don’t judge!’ And I’m telling you the motherf***ing truth! […] Thank you for giving me some p***y. I love my mom for that, you know? She taught me how to f**k like a man. My own mother did.”

Of course, this is beyond bizarre, and it’s entirely likely that Orlando Brown is just trolling here and taking things about as far as he can push them. Whether or not that desensitizes the comments themselves or makes them any less creepy or uncomfortable is up to your own personal view. But it certainly lines up with all the other absurdities that he’s spouted over the years.

Orlando Brown’s Latest Ridiculous Statement

“This is another crucial example of when we allow our young artists to be prematurely exposed by this demonic business and left out to fend for themselves,” Nick Cannon responded to Orlando Brown’s wild claims about him. “We need better support systems for our youth and take care of our own. I watched various of this young brother’s videos and all I see is a cry out for help.” These continued antics are just adding fuel to that fire, although it’s hard to tell how much of it is by design. Either way, we’re sure more developments will be just as controversial in the future.

Meanwhile, some of Orlando Brown’s viral moments are not as shocking, inappropriate, or creepy, but rather just very animated. For example, Brown recently chimed into the Super Bowl halftime show controversy surrounding Lil Wayne and Kendrick Lamar, positing that Weezy would be a terrible pick. Hopefully he engages more with these hot takes and not ones involving incest…
