Donte DiVincenzo Calls Out Tom Thibodeau During Fiery Return To New York

by

Donte DiVincenzo appeared to call out his former head coach, Tom Thibodeau, during his return to Madison Square Garden after the Knicks traded him to the Minnesota Timberwolves as a part of a blockbuster trade. After the preseason game on Sunday, he also needed to be separated from Knicks assistant Rick Brunson during a tense exchange of words.

“I can’t finish, right Thibs,” DiVincenzo allegedly yelled at head coach Tom Thibodeau making a contested layup. While at the foul line, he added: “That’s what happens when they let you run the show.”

DiVincenzo addressed his feelings about the trade while speaking with The New York Daily News at his locker before the game. “The timing is obviously not the most ideal, so figuring out the living situation, getting the family comfortable. That’s like the first thing you try to do. Because the basketball kind of takes care of itself,” DiVincenzo said. “You think about anything when you’re on the court. When you’re off the court, you just have to figure out logistics of life. I think that’s the biggest adjustment.”

In exchange for DiVincenzo and Julius Randle, the Knicks acquired Karl-Anthony Towns.

Benzino Reveals Why He Wants To Squash Eminem Beef And Be Friends

by

Benzino and Eminem’s beef goes way back, but amid some exciting new developments in the latter’s personal life, it looks like it could be over for good. During a recent interview with TMZ Hip Hop, Benzino shared that he wants to put the past behind him. To prove it, he even revealed that he congratulated Em after he learned he was going to be a grandfather.

“At 59 years old enough is enough like come on man. Like, listen you know I have four children. I’m not a grandfather yet. The irony is that he did say nobody wanted to hear their grandpa rap on [‘Nail in the Coffin’],” The Source icon explained. “After all these years I’m saying man wouldn’t it be something if he was a grandfather before me? I swear I used to think that.”

Our situation, back-and-forth I just want everybody to know it’s hip-hop. Battling in hip-hop has been since day one okay and I don’t want people to think that I wish any harm on him or any bad intentions, streetwise.” He went on to describe how he’d like to have a “real conversation” with the rapper, so they can finally put their feud to rest after over two decades.

“I really wanna be this guy’s friend,” he added of Eminem, “I don’t wanna be his enemy no more… I just feel like I’m at the age where I wanna lead by example.” What do you think of Benzino wanting to squash his beef with Eminem for good?

Tia Kemp Alleges That Rick Ross Talked Smack About Diddy Before Arrest

by

Tia Kemp is still airing out her ex Rick Ross for a bunch of alleged and messy reasons online, and she’s not letting up anytime soon. Recently, she joined Tasha K for a sit-down interview on her Unwine program, on which they eventually talked about the Diddy scandal. Morerover, Kemp alleged that Ross actually expressed some negative feelings towards Sean Combs before his arrest, despite their publicly amicable relationship. Specifically, she claimed that he sent her alleged DMs about how he couldn’t wait for authorities to take the Bad Boy mogul away so he could purchase some of his possessions.

Of course, these are just speculative allegations with no published or verifiable proof, so take Tia Kemp’s claims here with a grain of salt. Previously, she had brought up the Rick Ross and Diddy connection in a negative light amid the former’s federal charges for alleged sex trafficking and other civil allegations. As for Rozay’s own words, he hasn’t really said much on the whole matter, and engaged in spats with Kemp for other reasons. As such, fans find it unlikely that he will ever address this situation outright.

Tia Kemp Speaks On Rick Ross & Diddy

However, if this alleged Diddy rift is true, this should sound very familiar to Rick Ross fans who followed him this year in the Drake battle. “One things about Nostalgia, this party here?” the 6ix God recently said at an annual Toronto gathering before addressing his many hip-hop opps, including the Maybach Music Group mogul. “My real friends are definitely in the building. But I’m going to tell you. You’re going to come to a point in life where people you thought were friends or people you thought were close to you, they might switch up.

“They might try to move funny with you,” Drake continued. “They might stab you in the back, they might do a lot of things to you. You’ll come to that realization, wherever you’re at in life. You’ve probably been there and you’ll be there again, that’s how life is. But look, sometimes, it’s you and you alone by yourself. Sometimes it’s you alone with your thoughts.” We’ll see how that relationship and the Diddy bond evolve over time for Rick Ross.

Teyana Taylor Goes Off On Travis Kelce’s Ex After Disrespectful Comments On Angel Reese’s Podcast

by

During her recent appearance on Angel Reese’s “Unapologetically Angel” podcast, Kayla Nicole threw some shade at none other than Teyana Taylor. At one point in the episode, the personality was asked about the “cr*ziest” thing she’d ever done. She took the opportunity to open up about getting dumped via text and dressing up as her ex’s new girlfriend for Halloween that year.

Nicole didn’t name any names, but it didn’t take long for viewers to figure out who she was referring to. Of course, her ex was Iman Shumpert, and his new girlfriend at the time was Taylor. Taylor wasted no time firing back with a lengthy Instagram post. In it, she made it clear that she didn’t appreciate the disrespect.

“It’s really cr*zy that everyone is allowed to bother me & be distasteful… EVERYBODY gets to play.. while I move with grace. ALWAYS! But now I wanna have a lil sagittarius fun too and it’s a problem? F*ck the iman part, l’m divorced and happily so, however her choice of words were very distasteful and uncalled for. She knew exactly what she was doing. That lady said ‘she was famous at the time’ also said ‘idc who see it’ it was very distasteful & uncalled for. Most importantly she knew people would dig. So automatically my name is attached to the nonsense,” she wrote in part.

“I’m finding out just like the world that her intentions were ill and petty,” Taylor added. “She pulled the black card when it came to Taylor Swift, but in the same circle, turned around and tried to bully the black woman that was married to her situationship she claimed ‘dumped her’ for me. Dressing up like me for what??” What do you think of Teyana Taylor’s response to Kayla Nicole shading her on Angel Reese’s podcast?

Fans Think Latto Dissed Ice Spice On New GloRilla Song And Here’s Why

by

Latto and Ice Spice are not friends. These two have been taking subliminal shots at one another for nearly two years. Nobody has said names on record, but the subs have been consistent and pretty obvious. Latto started the whole thing with the song “Fine As Can Be” in 2023. Fans thought Spice blasted back with “Fart,” and so on. The beef seemed to have died down in recent months, with the release of both of their debut studio albums. Maybe both had moved on to more important things. Latto’s latest guest verse, has fans thinking twice.

Latto dropped a memorable sixteen on the new GloRilla song “PROCEDURE.” The song is one of the obvious highlights on Glo’s new album. The reason the song is getting attention, though, is not for its catchy beat or snappy chorus. Instead, it’s because fans think Latto reignited her Ice Spice feud with one simple bar. “But b**ches ain’t got sh*t to steal, like, f*ck I want from you,” she raps. “Talkin’ ’bout takin’ spots, Caresha please, yeah (What).” Once again, no mention of Ice Spice by name. The reference to not having a style worth copying, however, feels pretty distinctly pointed at Spice. The same goes for the bar about “takin’ spots.”

Ice Spice Claims The Latto Beef Is One-Sided

The interesting thing about this particular diss placement, if it is one, is that it drags GloRilla into the beef. Glo has done a decent job of staying out of the drama, and the only time she interacted with Spice was a comedic exchange she had with Lil Duvall on social media. Duvall joked that Ice Spice had become the same size as GloRilla after she started working out. GloRilla didn’t appreciate the comparison, and fired back: : “Wym cause I’m thick af.”

Ice Spice, meanwhile, claims that she doesn’t understand what Latto’s problem is. She was asked about the beef during a recent profile with Rolling Stone. Simply put, she didn’t know what sparked it. “I feel like if we ever spoke and I asked her ‘What’s the issue?’ it’d be like a blank stare,” she asserted. “It’d really be no issue whatsoever. Especially from me.” Regardless of whether or not Ice Spice has a point, it seems like Latto isn’t going to stop.

Top5 Claims He’s Still Doing “Research” To Take Down Kendrick Lamar

by

Top5 is a Drake ride or die. The Toronto artist was recently released from prison, and the first thing he did was thank Champagne Papi. “Shoutout big bro @champagnepapi for the Lawyer Fees & Gary Grill for being the best lawyer in Toronto,” he wrote on Instagram. Top5 has no problem heaping praise on Drizzy. The one thing he seemingly loves more, though, is going after Drake’s enemy, Kendrick Lamar. Top5 has made some extremely bold statements about Kung Fu Kenny over the last few weeks. And he continued to do so on October 10.

Top5 posted footage of him watching the music video for Lamar’s “Not Like Us.” He uploaded the brief clip to his Instagram Story with the caption: “Still doing my homework.” The specificity of the homework is not made clear, nor is Top5’s intent. Given how much he seemingly hates Lamar, though, the update is not surprising. The Toronto artist recently threatened Lamar with violence during an appearance on Late Night With Liyah Mai. He made it clear that K. Dot is not safe in his neck of the woods. “Tell him come to Toronto. Swiss cheese,” he asserted.

Top5 Previously Threatened To Shoot Kendrick Lamar

The threats didn’t stop there. Top5 went into detail with Mai as to how he plans to take down Kendrick Lamar if he ever sees him. “I’ll get the low, put on my Nike tech black,” he claimed. He then, inexplicably, claimed that Lamar’s peer, YG, would help him out. “Tell YG get us a driver, put the window down and get some fresh air.” It was all very aggressive, especially for a beef that has only played out on record. Top5 also included producer Metro Boomin in his offer. Metro, of course, collaborated with Lamar on the song “Like That.”

Hopefully Top5 doesn’t attend 21 Savage’s upcoming birthday party. Drake was invited to the party along with Metro Boomin, marking the first major event that both artists have attended since things popped off. Drake has seemingly made light of this fact on social media. Top5, presumably, will be too busy watching Kendrick Lamar music videos to accompany the 6 God. It’ll be fascinating to see if his research on K. Dot will actually result in some sort of diss record.

Drake’s Daughter Allegations Seemingly Debunked By Leaked DMs

by

Drake vs Kendrick Lamar will go down as the rap story of 2024. They are two of the biggest stars the genre has ever seen, and they dropped some scathing disses. None were more scathing that Lamar’s “Meet the Grahams,” however. Over a menacing Alchemist beat, the Compton spitter claimed that his opponent was hiding a second child from the world. A daughter, to be exact, and the internet seemed to track down the alleged daughter in question. Nobody had proof, but Drake had also been caught hiding a child from the public before. Was it true?

Well, according to DM screenshots, the answer is seemingly no. DJ Akademiks posted a screenshot that dates back to July 15, 2018. The DM appears to be sent to Drake from the woman that Lamar’s camp has suggested is the mother of his daughter. The alleged daughter is even mentioned by name. “My baby Eternity is five and she really adores you,” the woman wrote. “Eternity and I have tixs to your your [sic] Los Angeles show and she really just wants to meet you. I will pay anything to make this happen for my five year old please.”

Drake’s 2018 DM Was Posted By DJ Akademiks

DJ Akademiks neatly summarized the takeaways from this alleged screenshot in his caption. He told followers that there is no way Drake is the father of this woman’s daughter if they had never met prior to 2018. Furthermore, the DM exchange implies that Drake and the woman in question do not know each other at all. “Apparently the woman as of early as 2018 was hitting up Drake to meet him,” Ak explained. “Which makes it impossible he fathered her child.” The hip hop personality also made sure to highlight the fact that Kendrick Lamar and his camp said otherwise.

The legitimacy of Lamar’s claim on “Meet the Grahams” has been a talking point since it dropped. Elliott Wilson of Rap Radar released a version of the song with the verse about the alleged daughter removed. He felt it damaged an otherwise great song, which led to social media tension between Wilson and the TDE camp. DJ Hed, another Lamar affiliate, has gone on record to claim that everything said on “Meet the Grahams” is true. lf. “I mean, he told me everything was facts,” Hed said during his appearance on the Effective Immediately podcast. Somebody’s lying, and this alleged screenshot doesn’t help K. Dot’s case.

Drake And Metro Boomin Will Attend 21 Savage Birthday Party Despite Beef

by

To say Drake and Metro Boomin aren’t cool is an understatement. The rapper and producer who once made hits together are on opposite sides of the culture war. Metro Boomin declared war on Drizzy with “Like That” and “BBL Drizzy.” Drake memed him into oblivion by telling him to shut and make drums. It went back and forth for months. Now that the dust has settled, though, the enemies will be attending the same birthday party. Drake and Metro Boomin will both be showing up to support 21 Savage.

21 Savage announced his birthday party plans on social media. He posted a graphic with information about the party, which will focus on 2008-2013 era music. The event will take place on October 19, and Drake decided to poke fun at his longtime friend in the comment section. “So specific,” he wrote. “Can we get reference pics?” 21 Savage got back at him and wrote: “Coming soon twin.” Metro Boomin has been 21 Savage’s day one producer, so he will obviously be in attendance. The fact that Drake and the producer will be in the same space for the first time since the beef is interesting, given the comments both of them have recently made.

Metro Boomin Claimed He Still Has Love For Drake

Metro Boomin turned lots of heads when he was asked about the beef during the Forbes 30 Under 30 Summit. He claimed that he “has love” for every artist involved in the conflict, Drake included. “I have love and respect for all my collaborators,” he claimed. “I just want to see everybody do their best and continue to help push this forward.” Metro Boomin also dismissed the toxic side of the beef by blaming fans. “It’s more like Stan culture,” the producer added. “It makes it kind of weird.”

Drake, on the other hand, publicly spoke about betrayal during a recent appearance in Toronto. The 6 God took the stage at a music event and warned attendees to be aware of who their real friends are. “You’re going to come to a point in life where people you thought were friends,” he asserted. “Or people you thought were close to you, switch up. They might stab you in the back. They might do a lot of things to you.” Drake obviously considers 21 Savage a real friend, and Metro a fake one. The party should be an interesting one. Hopefully the DJ avoids playing any disses.

GloRilla Sparks JT Diss Theories With New Track Featuring Sexyy Red

by

Today, GloRilla finally unleashed her eagerly anticipated debut album, Glorious. The project boasts features from the likes of Latto, Megan Thee Stallion, Muni Long, and more. It even includes a Boosie Badazz-sampling song featuring Sexyy Red, “Whatchu Kno About Me.” The two femcees recruited the Louisiana-born artist for a lively music video, which so far, fans are loving.

Following the release of the project, however, some listeners were quick to notice what seemed to be some shade directed at JT. “You won’t never catch me slippin’, I ain’t no f*ckin’ Cinderella, st*pid b*tch,” GloRilla raps. This could potentially be a reference to JT’s mixtape City Cinderella, which she dropped in July.

GloRilla Says She’s “No F*ckin’ Cinderella” In New Song With Sexyy Red

This is unconfirmed, but the bar has sparked a debate in The Neighborhood Talk‘s comments section. For those who don’t recall, Glo and JT got wrapped up in an explosive Twitter/X feud earlier this year, which stemmed from rumors that they got into a physical altercation. Glo accused JT of having “secret animosity” towards her, prompting some serious insults to fly. Months after the feud fizzled out, at least publicly, GloRilla was accused of shading JT alongside Megan Thee Stallion in a behind-the-scenes video. For now, it remains unclear whether or not that was the case, or if GloRilla and JT have been able to patch things up since.

While some social media users are demanding a response from JT, others are urging them to squash their beef once and for all. What do you think of listeners speculating that GloRilla threw a jab at JT on her new track “Whatchu Kno About Me”? Do you agree or not? How are you liking her new album, Glorious, so far?

Drake Shows Love To J Cole After Being Referenced In New Song

by

Drake and Kendrick Lamar have been the dominant rap story of 2024. For good reason. They are the two defining artists of their generation, both in terms of acclaim and success. Drake and J Cole are a similarly fascinating story, though. The duo have been working together since 2010, and they reunited on the hit single “First Person Shooter” in 2023. You know, the one that ignited the whole “Big Three” war to begin with. J Cole ducked out of the war, leaving Drake to go at Kendrick Lamar on his own. Cole said as much on his new song, “Port Antonio.” And Drake seemingly listened.

J Cole dropped “San Antonio” out of the blue on October 9. Fans were excited to get new music, but no one could have predicted the lyrical topics that Cole takes on. He addresses the “Big Three” beef head on, and even calls out Drake by name during one of his verses. He makes it clear that he doesn’t dislike the 6 God, and acknowledges how much help he’s given him in his career. “They say I’m picking sides, don’t you lie on me, my n**ga,” J Cole spits. “The start of another war, hey Drake, you’ll always be my n**ga. I ain’t ashamed to say you did a lot for me, my n**ga.” The Toronto rapper seemingly respected what Cole had to say. He liked the Instagram post that initially uploaded the song.

Drake Liked J Cole’s “Port Antonio” Post On IG

The timing of the shout out is interesting. Drake recently made headlines for less than stellar reasons. He made an appearance at a public event in Toronto, and proceeded to talk about how those he considered friends have stabbed him in the back. “My real friends are definitely in the building,” the 6 God explained to the crowd. “You’re going to come to a point in life where people you thought were friends, or people you thought were close to you, switch up.” Based on the fact that J Cole not only apologized for dissing Kendrick Lamar, but proceeded to work with several of Drake’s enemies, it’s safe to assume he is among the fake friends Drake mentioned.

J Cole spent the rest of the song explaining why he didn’t want to beef with Drake and K. Dot. In his estimation, he didn’t want to be remembered for ragging on people he considered peers. He also was opposed to digging up dirt on people he’s known well for years. “Jermaine is no king,” he raps. “If that means I gotta dig up dirt. And pay the whole team of algorithm bot n**gas just to sway the whole thing on social media, competing for ya favorable memes.” Here’s hoping J Cole’s olive branch is enough to mend things between him and Drake.
