Jayla Channels Her Father BeatKing In Sweet Eulogy

“When I talk about my dad, a lot of people expect me to start crying but he was way too goofy, too annoying to just cry over,” she began with a laugh. “He would not want to to cry over him. So, I always make sure I keep a smile on my face at all times because I know that’s what he would want me to do.” She continued, joking that her father’s death would be hitting his favorite restaurant the hardest.

“I know all of us here are very devastated with his passing,” she explained. “But I just know personally nobody could be more upset than Whataburger. Without him, Whataburger will be going bankrupt, probably. The cheeseburger-eating, chocolate shake-drinking person has unfortunately passed and is in a better place now. And he’s with all of us spiritually.” Fans in The Neighborhood Talk‘s comments section are praising Jayla for approaching the situation with a sense of humor, and sharing words of support for the teen and her family as they navigate this difficult time.

Ice Spice Shuts Down Ozempic Rumors With Intense Workout Video

by

It goes without saying that Ice Spice is a bona fide baddie. Recently, however, some critics have noticed that she’s slimmed down and accused her of using weight loss drugs like Ozempic to do so. The “BB Belt” rapper denies this, telling fans on Twitter Spaces earlier this month that her weight loss is simply the result of a healthy diet and consistent workout routine.

“B*tch, I wish y’all never learned the word Ozempic,” she said at the time. “That’s one thing I wish. Oh my God! Like what even is Ozempic? Wha the f*ck is that? Genuinely, what is that? You lazy a** b*tches never heard of a gym?” she also added. “It’s called eating healthy. It’s called being on tour. Like what the hell. Maybe if I was sitting at home all day it’d be easier to stay big.”

Unfortunately, this did little to quell body shamers.

Clearly, the Bronx-born performer has worked hard on her figure and also doesn’t appreciate haters getting it twisted.

She shared a before and after video, emphasizing how her time in the gym has paid off.

As for what else Ice Spice is up to these days, she’s currently preparing to wrap up her world tour. She also unleashed her eagerly anticipated debut album Y2K last month. It’s since earned mixed reviews. What do you think of Ice Spice showing off her gym routine as critics accuse her of using Ozempic?

by

Last week, Usher kicked off his eagerly anticipated “Past Present Future” tour with an unforgettable performance in Washington, D.C. Originally scheduled to begin earlier this month, the tour was pushed back after the hitmaker suffered a neck injury during rehearsals. Luckily, it looks like he had a speedy recovery, and wasted no time getting back to giving fans what they love.

While Usher has already impressed countless supporters with his tour, he himself recently became starstruck onstage after spotting none other than Free Marie Wright in the crowd. In a clip from his recent stop in Boston, he’s seen putting the show on hold to give her a shoutout. “Hold on, hold on, hold on. Is that Free I see?” he asked, looking shocked. He then stepped down to greet her, putting his appreciation for the former 106 & Park host on full display.

Cardi B Reveals Why She Doesn’t Need Security Amid Fan Concerns

by

Recently, one fan spotted Cardi B out and about in New York City by herself. She appeared to be in good spirits, but the clip sparked a great deal of concern from her supporters. She took to X to address the clip of the unexpected sighting, making it clear that it wasn’t a big deal. “It was like 9am and I was hungry …..also nobody finna touch me,” she said.

That did little to ease fans’ concerns, however. They continued to flood her with demands not to go out alone. Again, she clarified that she was fine and that there was no need for fans to worry. “My house got 24/7 security,” she also explained. “I’m very spontaneous and I like my privacy… Sometimes I want to go to the deli or make a quick target run …I’m not waiting around till security come ….ALSO I ALWAYS ALWAYS GOT SOMETHING ON ME!”

Still, the Bardigang was unconvinced, despite her emphasizing the fact that she hates “being babied.” One X user even claimed that one of her posts was a “trauma response,” which she quickly denied. “Wtffff yall be talking about …yall need help,” she responded. “It was 9am and I went to get a bacon egg and cheese …STOP WIT THIS cry baby sh*t ..Y’all too p**** …let me get off this app cause yall irritating me and is not even funny.”

Clearly, Cardi’s got it covered and doesn’t appreciate being treated like she doesn’t. With that being said, it’s no surprise that fans are feeling more protective of their fave than usual, as she’s currently expecting her third child with her ex Offset. She’s been on the hunt for an apartment in NYC lately too, which could explain why she was in town. What do you think of Cardi B telling fans not to worry about her after she was spotted by herself in NYC earlier this week?

Rick Ross Reveals Why He Responded To Drake And Not The Game

by

Amid the viral 20 V. 1 Drake beef of the summer, Rick Ross jumped in, taking various shots at the Toronto hitmaker on “Champagne Moments.” Of course, his taunting appeared to backfire soon after, when he was attacked in Vancouver for playing Kendrick’s Drake diss “Not Like Us” at a festival. He opened up about the feud with Shannon Sharpe for Nightcap Summer Sessions from Houston this week, making it clear why he decided to respond in the first place.

“On some rap sh*t it was no conspiracies,” he began. “Rozay name was said, Rozay, I’mma jump off the porch. That’s what I do… I’mma jump off the porch and I’mma have some fun, and that’s what I did, I had some fun.” From there, Ross also explained how he decides whether or not to respond, an apparent nod to The Game.

Rozay Says Not Responding Is A Response

The Game unleashed a scathing diss track directed at Ross in May, “Freeway’s Revenge,” blasting him for his past as a correctional officer, lifestyle choices, and much more. Ross never responded aside from some shady Instagram Stories, but according to him, this was a response in itself. During the interview, Ross explained that his choice to respond or not respond is determined by whether or not he has something to gain from it. “Not responding is a response when you a boss,” he added.

The Game isn’t the only person Rick Ross has yet to respond to, however. The Drake fan who attacked him in Vancouver, Icarus, mocked him for the brawl on a diss track called “White Boy” earlier this month.

Nipsey Hussle Wax Figure Impresses Atlanta Fans At Invest Fest

by

In March 2019, Nipsey Hussle’s life was tragically cut short, but his legacy lives on. The West Coast icon continues to get the recognition he deserves for his contributions to hip-hop and more, most recently at Invest Fest in Atlanta. In a clip making its rounds online, a Nipsey Hussle wax figure is unveiled at the event, and the crowd goes wild.

Earn Your Leisure CEO Rashad Bilal teamed up with Microsoft and The Marathon, the late rapper’s clothing company, for the $100K Nipsey Hussle Business Grant. The grant went to one lucky entrepreneur to grow their business. Bilal chatted with REVOLT about the partnership last month. He revealed that it all stemmed from his interview with Nipsey’s brother, Blacc Sam. “When we were putting together the Invest Fest lineup, I definitely wanted The Marathon to be a part of it in some capacity,” he explained. “The first idea was to have The Marathon as a pop-up shop. But Sam wanted to do something more impactful than just have merch there.”

“So, I just thought we should have a pitch competition,” Bilal continued. “I proposed it to The Marathon team, and they liked it. After that, we spoke with Microsoft, and they also agreed to provide some funding for it. So that was helpful.” The Nipsey Hussle wax figure was created by Mr. Officials, who’s done wax figures of Takeoff, Lil Wayne, and more.

He was also one of the four finalists to join the pitch competition for the Nipsey Hussle Business Grant this weekend. According to him, it took nine months to complete. While the grant went to Divine Luminance Juices in the end, he said he still “[feels] like a winner” in a recent Instagram Story. What do you think of a Nipsey Hussle wax figure being unveiled at Invest Fest earlier this weekend? How does it look?

Sean Kingston Sprints Out Of Court After Pleading Not Guilty To Fraud: Watch

by

Earlier this year, federal authorities raided Sean Kingston’s Florida home, resulting in the arrest of both him and his mother Janice Turner. In July, a Grand Jury indicted them on multiple federal charges. They each face one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and five counts of wire fraud for allegedly scamming businesses out of over $1 million worth of goods.

Yesterday, they appeared in court for a federal arraignment, where they pleaded not guilty to their charges. They asked for a jury trial, and their attorney Bob Rosenblatt began the discovery process. Following the arraignment, the mother-son duo was spotted making a hasty exit. Kingston sprinted towards a black escalade while Turner flipped off ABC Local 10 reporters before getting into a separate vehicle.

Sean Kingston & His Mom Make Hasty Exit After Arraignment

Federal prosecutors allege that Kingston and Turner “unjustly enriched themselves by falsely representing that they had executed bank wire or other monetary payment transfers as payment for vehicles, jewelry, and other goods.” Reportedly, each count they’re facing could earn them a maximum sentence of 20 years. They’re facing six each, meaning potentially lengthy sentences for them both. Of course, what actually plays out in this case remains to be seen, and fans are hoping for the best.

Despite the circumstances, Sean Kingston and his attorney appear confident. “It’s great to be home!” the artist told fans following his release on a $100K bond in June. “A special thanks to God, my family, my friends and my legal team… Robert Rosenblatt, James Stark, Mark Geragos, Zeljka Bozanic, Pierre Pollas. And I cannot forget about my amazing fans, thank you for all your love and support! I love you guys!” What do you think of Sean Kingston and his mother pleading not guilty to federal fraud charges? What about the duo running out of the courthouse afterward to avoid reporters? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Joe Budden Drags Playboi Carti In Response To “Complex” List

by

Earlier this month, Complex unveiled its list of the best rappers from Atlanta, which has since sparked a major debate. As expected, many readers disagreed with who made the list and where they were placed. Playboi Carti’s ranking in particular prompted a great deal of backlash, as he came in at No. 12, ahead of artists like Jermaine Dupri, Killer Mike, Gunna, and more.

B. Dot weighed in on his placement on Way Up With Angela Yee shortly after the list was published. He didn’t hold back in the slightest, slamming the rapper and arguing that he was placed far too high. “I can’t get jiggy with that,” he said at the time. “Have you ever heard Playboi Carti’s music? He raps in like Batman sound effects. He sucks. He’s terrible.”

Joe Budden Admits That He Thinks Playboi Carti Is “Horrible”

Of course, this sparked even more debate among social media users. While many think Playboi Carti can’t hold a candle to those placed below him, others insist that his influence is undeniable, and can understand why he came in at No. 12. During a recent episode of his podcast, Joe Budden decided to join the conversation, revealing that he agrees with B. Dot.

“B.Dot, I’m with you, Playboi Carti is horrible to me,” he admitted. His co-hosts agreed with him, even claiming that Playboi Carti shouldn’t have made the list at all. “Playboi Carti is on this list because it’s a Complex list, that’s it,” Budden added, suggesting that the outlet’s readership simply overlaps with the rapper’s fanbase. What do you think of Joe Budden’s reaction to Playboi Carti’s No. 12 spot on Complex‘s list of the best rappers from Atlanta? What about him calling the rapper “horrible”?

Coi Leray & Trippie Redd Confirm They’re Back Together

by

Coi Leray and Trippie Redd went their separate ways roughly five years ago, but it looks like their feelings for each other never really went away. Recently, they decided to give their romance another chance, this time with a bit more wisdom and life experience. In a sweet clip, the two of them are seen standing onstage at a concert when she pulls him in for a kiss. Hopefully, there will be a happier ending this time around for the fan-favorite couple, who’ve been rumored to have rekindled their relationship for months now.

For those who don’t recall, Coi and Trippie didn’t exactly have a clean break back in 2019. He addressed their messy split on his track “Leray,” which appears on his mixtape A Love Letter to You 4. “It was love at first sight and misery after two months/ Always feeling f**ked up either by love or no love,” he confesses in the emotional song.

Coi didn’t take kindly to the song at first, telling No Jumper at the time that she feared he was using her name for clicks. On the other hand, she praised Trippie for his ability to express himself through music. “At first, no, I didn’t like it. It was very like, what the f**k, because I always thought we really had something outside of the music,” she explained. “Just like me, I’mma put my feelings in a song and my emotions in a song and he does it very well, and that’s one thing I gotta give to him.”

Of course, both of them have come a long way since then, both personally and professionally. This likely means they’re more ready than ever to stick together for the long run.
