Joe Budden Addresses Cardi B’s Explosive Twitter Spaces Rant

by

Earlier this week, Cardi B went scorched earth on Joe Budden on Twitter Spaces, slamming him for seemingly having nothing but negative things to say about her work. “I don’t understand why I keep getting harassed by this man,” she said at the time, accusing him of urging her to drop an album simply so he can trip it to shreds. “You want to tear my project down like you tear down every one of my singles. You tear down my single, you tear down my personal life, you tear down everything I f*cking do.”

At the time, he responded with a few Tweets, claiming he wouldn’t be talking about her again. “I promise you and can assure you, i will not cover a single thing this girl does for the remainder of her career,” he wrote. Budden also went on to insist that he was genuinely looking forward to the album and to apologize for offending Cardi.

Joe Budden Apologizes To Cardi B

Now, he’s addressed the debacle in a new episode of his podcast. According to him, he’s still sorry for whatever he did to upset Cardi, but he doesn’t necessarily agree with everything she accused him of. “Cardi is on my list of people I’m going to love no matter what,” he explained. “If I’ve ever made a joke that’s offended Cardi B I’m sorry… But some of that sh*t man, I don’t know.”

“Cardi thinks that I have been unsupportive for two years straight,” Budden continued. “I totally disagree with that.” He went on, recounting instances he’s praised Cardi for her work, and to note that he will be covering Cardi B in the future. “I can’t let people suppress my voice,” he also added.

J Cole Tries Out His New Bike

A few weeks back, J Cole was seen riding his bike around New York City and taking a short break on a nearby bench to jot some things down on a notepad. Of course, fans speculated that he could be working on new verses, as they were looking forward to hearing what he’d come up with after bowing out of Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s infamous feud.

Fans and peers alike agree that this was a good move, particularly considering how things played out. Trae Tha Truth is no exception, as during an interview with AllHipHop last month, he defended J Cole’s decision. “What people have to realize is that’s just not the type of energy bro got,” he explained. “He focused on him, he focused on his kids and just always stayed in his lane.” What do you think of J Cole popping out for Trae Tha Truth’s Trae Day Weekend in Houston?

Lil Uzi Vert Delivers Inspirational Message To The Youth

by

Lil Uzi Vert is certainly no stranger to letting their freak flag fly, and evidently, it’s worked out in the rapper’s favor. For this reason, they think that young people should take notes, as being their weirdest and most authentic selves could get them far. Uzi recently popped out for their girlfriend JT’s release party in NYC, as she recently unleashed her debut solo mixtape, City Cinderella.

Digital content creator Ben Weiss caught up with the pair on their way out and asked Uzi if they had anything they wanted to say to the youth. “Just keep being as weird as possible,” they said. “Cuz all the weird boys got all the money.” Weiss went on to ask what their favorite song on JT’s new project is, which Uzi refused to answer.

Lil Uzi Vert Tells Kids To Be “As Weird As Possible”

While fans agree that this sounds like some pretty solid advice, they’re not exactly surprised by Uzi’s answer. They never fail to push boundaries when it comes to art, fashion, and more, despite any potential backlash they may receive for it. Earlier this year, for example, Uzi starred in a campaign for Marc Jacobs. They posed with the brand’s 40th Anniversary Tote Bag, resulting in a great deal of ridicule online.

Comments ranged from critical to downright hateful, though Uzi doesn’t seem to have been fazed. They faced similar outrage after their performance at Coachella in April. During the show, they popped out with a Kelly Birkin bag, showed off some suggestive dance moves, and more. Social media users were quick to judge, and as a result, the performance went viral. What do you think of Lil Uzi Vert’s inspirational message to the youth? Do you agree with them or not?

50 Cent Mocks Opps After Ex-Detective Confirms There’s “No Way” He Cooperated

by

Recently, 50 Cent took to Instagram to shut down anyone who’s accused him of cooperating with authorities, with the help of retired detective Bill Courtney. Courtney, who dealt heavily with the New York hip-hop scene in the 90s and early 2000s, sat down with ITS AGTV for an interview earlier this week. At one point, Fif came up, prompting him to clarify.

“50 Cent never cooperated with anybody and I would know if he did. I had the whole music industry investigation business locked down. I knew everybody who was talking to everybody. There was no way he cooperated,” Courtney explained. “An incident where he was stabbed or somebody was stabbed, maybe it was [Tony] Yayo, in the studio — he didn’t cooperate on that.”

“And I find it funny that the guys who say he cooperated, namely the Gotti brothers [Irv and Chris], they did more st*pid things to bring heat on them and heat on everybody else, using two-way pagers to communicate with people when the information is so easy to get ahold of,” he continued. “They did a lot of d*mb things and they messed with the wrong guy. He came back, he’s a fighter. And people gotta respect that. Even if they don’t like 50, he didn’t have any cops protecting him.”

50 Cent shared the clip, mentioning some of his most notable opps in his caption like Kenneth “Supreme” McGriff, James “Jimmy Henchman” Rosemond, and Damion “World” Hardy. “See the facts always come out,” he wrote. “I wasn’t raised like that. I’m not in Preme, killer Rat a** jimmy, or World’s paper work. Oh yeah all roads lead to Sherevport.” What do you think of 50 Cent confirming that he never cooperated with authorities?

Rick Ross Seemingly Mocks Bobby Shmurda Over Claim He Was Kicked Off Show

by

Earlier this week, Bobby Shmurda took to Instagram to call Rick Ross out, accusing him of kicking him off a show. According to him, this was due to his response to Ross getting jumped in Vancouver last month. Shmurda insisted that while he did make some jokes about the wild incident, he was defending Ross, and claimed he would have preferred a personal phone call rather than hearing news of the concert from somebody else.

Now, it seems as though Ross may have responded with a series of subliminal Instagram Stories. In one video shared yesterday (July 17), he showed off a bottle of Luc Belaire rosé and his custom Rap Snacks potato chips. “Ladies and gentlemen, whenever you see someone confused or talking nonsense, say, ‘Shut up and enjoy your glass of Luc Belaire!’” he said with a laugh.

Rick Ross Appears To Respond To Bobby Shmurda

In another, he flexed a pair of Louis Vuitton cowboy boots and hat, seemingly accusing Shmurda of not telling the whole truth. “For you n****s that’s kicking that bullsh*t, at least have on a $12K pair of these boots. If you gonna kick some bullsh*t, boy — it’s the Biggest Bawse, n***a. These n****s cr*zy,” he claimed, moving on to yet another pair of Louis Vuitton boots. “If we kicking bullsh*t, it’s gotta be expensive. $20K pair of Louis Vuitton boots, that’s if we gonna kick bullsh*t. We gotta do it like a Bawse!”

While it’s unconfirmed whether or not Ross was actually referring to Shmurda, it certainly seems possible, as he’s yet to address the rapper’s claims otherwise.

Pop Smoke’s Mother Reacts To His Alleged Killer’s Disrespectful Interview Comments

by

Earlier this month, Pop Smoke’s alleged killer Blockstar sat down with Adam22 for an interview on No Jumper. During their conversation, he made several comments that fans found disrespectful. He claimed, for example, that he deserved a more severe sentence for his alleged crimes. He also said that he’s not sorry for his actions.

“I’m not sorry for anything at all, it shouldn’t have happened but a lot of n***as die every day and he was rapping about it so no I’m not sorry but my condolences to his family,” Blackstar explained. He and Adam22 both received a great deal of backlash as a result, with many arguing that Blockstar shouldn’t have been given a platform at all.

Audrey Jackson Claims “Life Is Done” For Blockstar

Now, Pop Smoke’s mother Audrey Jackson has shared her take on the interview during a chat with TT Torrez for Tap In With TT. According to her, she’s not usually tuned in for disrespectful comments about her late son. Often, however, she hears about them from her supporters. While it still bothers her to hear Blockstar speak about the murder the way he does, she knows that for her own sake, she simply has to “let that go.” She says that if she doesn’t, it’ll “eat [her] up.”

“The bottom line is, your life is over,” she said of Blockstar. “He’s living, but if that’s his approach to what he’s done, life is done for him.” The 21-year-old was released from a juvenile detention facility in June following less than four years behind bars, seemingly for his birthday. What do you think of Blockstar’s recent No Jumper interview? What about his disrespectful comments about Pop Smoke’s passing? Are you surprised by his mother’s reaction or not?

Bobby Shmurda Puts Rick Ross On Blast For Kicking Him Off Show Over Jumping Jokes

by

Earlier this month, Rick Ross and his crew found themselves in some trouble at a festival in Vancouver, and the incident quickly went viral. In footage that made its rounds online, Ross could be seen getting attacked as Kendrick Lamar’s track “Not Like Us” played in the background, allegedly thanks to him. Fortunately, he didn’t appear to be too badly injured, though unsurprisingly, it earned him a great deal of clowning online.

According to Bobby Shmurda, however, Rick Ross isn’t willing to let any jokes about the wild incident slide. The rapper recently took to social media to put Rozay on blast, accusing him of kicking him off of a show for joking about the attack. He seemed frustrated by the situation, insisting that he doesn’t have any beef with Ross, and questioning why he didn’t get the news from him personally.

Bobby Shmurda Would Have Preferred A Personal Phone Call

In the video, Bobby explains that he respects Ross when it comes to business. For this reason, he doesn’t understand why he couldn’t simply give him a call. Instead, he claims he found out he was kicked off the show by someone else. “I don’t no want beef with none of y’all n****s,” he said. “You could have called me big homie.”

He went on, explaining that he was actually defending Ross in the video he made in response to the jumping incident. This is true, however, at the time he also seemingly criticized Ross for the way he handled the incident. According to him, if he were in that situation, he would have “went out like C-Murda.” What do you think of Bobby Shmurda accusing Rick Ross of kicking him off a show for joking about his jumping incident in Vancouver?

Rich The Kid Gets Served At Album Release Party Over Allegedly Unpaid Jewelry Tab

by

Earlier this week, Rich The Kid celebrated the upcoming release of his new album Life’s A Gamble with a star-studded release party in Hollywood. Unfortunately, however, his evening took an unexpected turn that was caught on camera. As he entered the party, Rich The Kid was served with court papers, reportedly from his former jeweler Peter Marco. Marco sued the rapper back in 2020 for $234K over an allegedly unpaid tab.

When the suit was first filed, Marco said that Rich had been purchasing jewelry like diamond necklaces, crosses, watches, and more since 2017. He claimed that he made payments on the items for a while, which allegedly eventually stopped. Marco alleges that Rich continued to order additional pieces. He says he continued to deliver too, until the tab got to where it is today.

Rich The Kid’s Album Release Party Takes An Unexpected Turn

The court documents surely put a damper on Rich The Kid’s celebration. Fortunately, however, he still appears to have enjoyed his evening. He was spotted partying with DDG, his wife Tori Brixx, and more. As for the album itself, it’s slated for release on July 19 and boasts various high-profile features from the likes of Offset and Kanye West.

It’s not the only collaboration he’s teamed up with the Chicago-born rapper for as of late either. At the end of last month, he also recruited both Ye and Ty Dolla Sign for a new single, “Gimme A Second 2.” What do you think of Rich The Kid getting hit with court papers outside of his album release party?

Lil Reese Was Arrested In LA, Boosie Badazz Claims

by

Boosie Badazz is currently celebrating his latest legal victory, getting his federal gun charge dismissed. Fans first heard of the exciting development last week, when he got emotional on Instagram while sharing his hopes for the future. Unfortunately, however, not all of his peers appear to have had the same luck as of late. Recently, Boosie took to social media once again, this time to announce that Lil Reese was allegedly arrested.

In a clip, the Louisiana-born performer says that he’s at a hotel in downtown LA, and claims he just witnessed authorities take Lil Reese to jail. “He came out handcuffed, they had all his bags,” he explained. Boosie went on to urge the performer’s people to look into the situation, whether that means bailing the Chicago rapper out, or simply making sure he’s doing okay.

Lil Reese Reportedly Runs Into Trouble On The West Coast

At the time of writing, it remains unclear why he was reportedly taken into custody. In the clip, however, Boosie says that a man had come downstairs suggesting that a woman could have “lied on him.” This is unconfirmed, though hopefully, fans will hear more about the alleged arrest sooner rather than later. Lil Reese’s latest reported legal trouble is far from the first the 31-year-old has encountered, however.

In January of last year, he was released from prison after serving seven months for allegedly assaulting a family member. Before that, he was arrested in Chicago on domestic violence charges in 2022. At the time, authorities were reportedly called to the scene to find a woman presumed to be Lil Reese’s girlfriend, who accused him of pulling her hair and punching her in the face. He was arrested immediately and later released after posting a $10K bond. What do you think of Boosie Badazz claiming that Lil Reese was arrested in LA?

Ab-Soul’s Drake “Redemption” Tweet Was Bait, Charlamagne Tha God Speculates

by

It goes without saying that the past few months have been rough for Drake. After going back and forth with Kendrick Lamar in what became a wild and viral lyrical battle, the Compton rapper was declared the winner by most. Since then, Kendrick’s gone on to team up with several peers for a “Pop Out” in LA, dropped a music video for one of the most explosive tracks of the feud “Not Like Us,” and more. While some suspect that this will be impossible for Drizzy to recover from completely, others think it could still be possible, like Ab-Soul.

Earlier this week, he took to X with an interesting message, suggesting that Drake might still have a chance to redeem himself. “If Drake is the MC I imagine he can be. Redemption is not off the table,” he wrote simply. As expected, this sparked a heated debate in his replies, prompting him to clarify.

(Removing my obvious personal/educated bias).” Now, Charlamagne Tha God has shared his take on the puzzling Tweets on The Brilliant Idiots podcast, arguing that this may have nothing but bait.

“That’s not okay,” he said. “It means Kendrick still wants to beat him up. This is ‘Hey, let’s try to gas him up to try to put something else out.’ […] I know instigation when I see instigation, I know he did that on purpose… This is all shade by the way.” What do you think of Charlamagne Tha God’s reaction to Ab-Soul’s recent Tweet about Drake?
