Diddy’s Alleged BM Dana Tran Lip-Syncs to City Girls

by

When Diddy shared that the Combs family welcomed a new baby girl, the public didn’t know how to react. Initially, some suggested that one of the Bad Boy mogul’s sons must have welcomed a child; however, it was only a matter of hours before more information was shared. As the rumor mill worked overtime, TMZ emerged with an update. They confirmed Diddy and a California woman welcomed a daughter in October.

Quickly, people began searching for the identity of the mother. She is said to be a cyber security specialist named Dana Tran, and this news has caused her life to become a trending topic. Although it looks like she has now wiped her TikTok clean, a video showed Tran dancing to a viral track that hosts a look from City Girls.

Moneybagg Yo’s “Said Sum (Remix)” featured the hitmaking Florida duo, and JT’s portion was widely popular in a TikTok trend. The mother of Diddy’s youngest daughter can be seen lip-syncing to the lyrics—sort of. She didn’t quite nail down every line, but she looked like she was enjoying herself, just the same.

This, of course, ignited the internet, considering City Girls rapper Yung Miami has been dating Diddy for some time. The pair have collaborated in the studio, flirted on social media, discussed their romance on Caresha Please, and posed in photographs from their jet-setting adventures. DJ Akademiks stirred the pot by labeling Yung Miami as a side chick, but she hopped online to refute his claims.

Meanwhile, people continue to piece together who Dana Tran is, as well as her relationship with Diddy. She wants to keep her life as fiercely protected as possible, but the internet isn’t giving her any peace. Check out her video above.

Hitkidd And GloRilla Link With Latto And JT For A Remix Of ‘FNF (Let’s Go)’

by

Riding the highs of her viral hit “FNF (Let’s Go),” GloRilla has teamed up with Latto and JT of City Girls for a women-empowered remix.

On the remix, the ladies declare themselves free of time-wasting men, and remain focused on the money.

Never one to mince words, JT delivers the first guest verse, rapping. “I’m F-R-E-E, hold up, stop the beat / I’m a muthaf*ckin’ city girl, ain’t sh*t free ’bout me”

Following the catchy chorus and “let’s go” refrains, superstar rapper Latto comes in with the next guest verse. Aware of her power, Latto doesn’t feel threatened by any of her enemies. “All my opps scary, they won’t pop up at the party / Got them b*tches runnin’ from me, like an episode of Maury,” raps Latto.

Shortly before she released the original version of the song this past April, GloRilla shared a snippet of the song onto her Triller page. In an interview with Billboard, the Memphis rapper revealed that feedback from her fans plays a huge role in how she decided which songs she releases.

“Every time I record a song and I really like it, I like giving my audience something to look forward to — if the snippet do good, I release the song,” she siad. “I’ve had a couple of the Triller videos [go] viral, but the songs don’t always. I didn’t know [‘F.N.F.’] was gonna get this big.”

Nicki Minaj Teases The Female Rapper Posse Cut We’ve All Been Waiting For

It sounds pretty unbelievable, but it has been nearly 24 years since rap last saw an all-women posse cut — and even longer since one had any commercial impact. The last two times more than three female rappers were on a song together spitting verses, Bill Clinton was still in office, the first PlayStation was out, and Cardi B still looked like she bit people. This week, that long drought is about to be broken thanks to Nicki Minaj, of all people.

With her new single “Super Freaky Girl” earning her first solo No. 1 (also the first for a female rapper since ’98), Nicki is upping the ante (super bonus points if you get what I did there) with a remix featuring the first all-women lineup since either Nicki D’s promo record “Six Pack” or Queen Latifah’s “Brownsville.” It’s unclear which actually dropped first — the internet back then wasn’t what it is today [*reminisces in dial-up*].

Today, Nicki finally teased the lineup for her remix, sharing the bootylicious cover art, which only shows the six women from behind, all wearing matching boots and teeny silver bikinis. The clues to their identities come in the form of a suitcase at the forefront of the picture featuring stickers with the women’s origin cities on them. They read: Miami, Chicago, Atlanta, Boston, and New York.

Naturally, fans are already speculating on just who the guest rappers might be. Considering the cities involved, it would seem that Boston’s the easiest to guess: That would be BIA, who Nicki previously collaborated with on the remix to “Whole Lotta Money.” It only makes sense that she’d return the favor. Meanwhile, Miami would almost certainly be City Girls, although Trina wouldn’t be out of the question, as they’ve worked together before. Chicago gets a little iffier — the only really viable acts from there are acts like Dreezy and the unpredictable Cupcakke, with fans leaning more toward the latter.

Atlanta’s also obvious: If it ain’t Latto, I’ll eat my hat. Despite Latto previously worked with Nicki’s longtime rival Cardi B, the Atlantan rising star was also careful to avoid picking sides when media goaded her to. And as far as New York goes, sure, that could be Nicki herself, but I wouldn’t be shocked to see her roll the dice on a DreamDoll feature, which would launch the bubbling artist into the stratosphere. There’s one other female rapper from New York that would blow fans’ minds, and I wouldn’t put it past Nicki to use this opportunity to really surprise people, but the main reason it’d be a surprise is that it’s so unlikely. Some fans also seem to be projecting a Flo Milli appearance, but there isn’t a Montgomery, Alabama sticker on that suitcase.

The good news is, we only have to wait a work day to find out. Nicki says she’ll be premiering the song on her Queen Radio podcast at 8 pm ET and 5 pm PT, unless she has those timezones mixed up, in which case, it’ll be 11 pm ET and 8 pm PT. Stay tuned.

(SPOILERS for this latest Rap Sh!t episode will be found below.)

Season one of Rap Sh!t is now in the books, and in just eight weeks, Shawna and Mia (played by Aida Osman and KaMillion) achieved many of the early goals they set out for as a new rap duo. They secured not one but two successful records with “Seduce & Scheme” and “Nann Badder.” Their songs were played in clubs and they were also invited to industry parties. Shawna and Mia have plenty to be excited about as season one comes to a conclusion, but their future is also in question now.

The aforementioned events in the finale of season one are soundtracked by records for the ladies. They’re songs that will boost your confidence and even make you want to shake something if that’s your vibe. Nonetheless, these records perfectly encapsulate the world that Shawna and Mia live in and hope to thrive in as well.

What Songs Were In The Season On Finale Of Rap Sh!t.

In addition to Shawna and Mia’s trademark records, “Seduce & Scheme” and “Nann Badder,” playing in the episode, there are three records that soundtracked biggest moments in this episode of Rap Sh!t. The first two are Kiddo Marv and Dreezy’s “Do It” and Saucy Santana and Renni Rucci’s “Money.” These two songs, along with “Seduce & Scheme,” soundtrack Mia’s time at a strip club. She heads out there with two of her friends for a moment of fun after the frustrating moment with Shawna during their performance in the last episode. It’s also during this scene that Mia records a video for Instagram that makes her fans think that she and Shawna had a split. The second is Steve Lacy’s “Infrunami” which can be heard after Mia hits it off with a fellow Miami rapper. He certainly piques Mia’s interest and the stacks of cash he gave her also boosted his chances.

The soundtrack for this week’s episode also includes the following songs:
City Girls — “You Tried It”
Josh Levi — “Vices”
Tokyo Jetz — “Just Ride”
Foogiano — “Dead In Miami”
Big Boss Vette — “Heavy”
Chelly Flame — “Bandz”
Jackboy — “Hate the B*tch”
Yung Miami — “Rap Freaks”
King Bucc — “Scam B*tch”

HBO Max’s ‘Rap Sh!t’ airs on Thursdays at 9:00pm EST.
