Vanilla Ice Claims Pablo Escobar Was “Great,” Recalls Hanging Out “Constantly”

During a recent interview with VladTV, Vanilla Ice reflected on the time he spent with Pablo Escobar. Surprisingly, he wasn’t aware of what the Colombian drug lord did for a living, assuming that he was simply a businessman. According to Vanilla Ice, he had some good times with Escobar and his crew, calling him nothing short of a “great” guy in person.

“I hung out with Pablo Escobar many, many times,” he began. “And Juan Almeida, Pepe Nunez, Ralph [‘Cabeza’ Linero] and everybody from Cocaine Cowboys. We were all friends.” He went on, describing how Escobar and his friends would make frequent visits to his home. “They would land helicopters in my house constantly on Star Island, come into my house, I had food just for them in the refrigerators,” he explained.

Vanilla Ice & Pablo Escobar Were Friends

“They would take me in the helicopter and we would go to all these great events, race boats and look at all the cool stuff that they were making,” he continued. “I never [asked] questions, we didn’t have Google, I don’t know who these people are. I thought they were businessmen. They liked to race boats like I did.” Vanilla Ice says that overall, Escobar was a joy to be around, despite what one might expect. “Pablo was a great person in person,” he explained. “This sounds ridiculous! First of all, I had no Google. You don’t go up to people and go, ‘What do you do for a living?’”

“I have no idea, bro. The guy’s loaded, he has a [Ferrari] Testarossa, I had a Porsche that’s smoking. We raced. I raced Pablo Escobar. I smoked him. We would go out and race boats. We were always on boats. They was always a bunch of bikinis floating around everywhere,” he added. What do you think of Vanilla Ice’s account of hanging out with Pablo Escobar?

Keri Hilson Recalls Nearly “Scrapping” With Teairra Mari, She Fires Back

During her recent appearance on the R&B Money podcast, Keri Hilson reflected on a time when a fellow artist wasn’t willing to show her love at one of her performances. According to the songstress, the unnamed woman came as a guest to one of Hilson’s close friends, and ended up in the front row. Unfortunately, she didn’t appear to be feeling the show, which rubbed Hilson the wrong way.

She explained how later in the evening, her friend and his guest dropped by her dressing room, where she chose to address the situation. The encounter got ugly, however, and Hilson claims it nearly resulted in them getting into a fight. “When you’re a performer, you know we know how important it is to give love to other performers,” she explained. “I had to say something.”

“So when they came to my dressing room backstage, I said something and we almost got to scrapping.” Hilson went on, explaining how she thought the woman was being “intentionally rude” by refusing to show any enthusiasm. “Like you want to get slapped, that’s how I felt,” she noted. While Hilson didn’t call the woman out by name at any point in the interview, some suspected that she was referring to Teairra Mari. Mari appeared to confirm this in the comments section of The Neighborhood Talk, threatening to “whoop” Hilson’s “a**” in the process.

“Y’all, people gotta leave me alone. I don’t bother anybody, just leave me the f*** alone.! so now, Keri! what’s up you wanna fight or do you not want to fight because I’m gonna whoop your a** when I see you I’m sick of you people bothering me!

Tamar Braxton Takes “Accountability” For Called-Off Engagement

Recently, Tamar Braxton took to Instagram Live to open up about her breakup with Jeremy “JR” Robinson. The two were previously engaged before calling things off in October of this year. In a new clip, she’s seen chatting with her fans about what led up to their split, while JR sits nearby.

“We broke up because of me, and because he announced it, it looked a certain way,” she explained. “He announced the breakup, the breakup happened because of me.” Braxton continued, describing how she’s decided to take “accountability” for her role in the situation. “That’s a good man, and I’m so grateful that things played out the way that it has played out. And I think we need to normalize us females when it’s us,” she added. “I’m not blaming myself, I’m taking accountability.”

Tamar Braxton Discusses Her Breakup With JR

The clip comes as somewhat of a surprise to fans, who just saw her announce that she’s gearing up to debut her “comeback candy” following some recent beef. Earlier this month, she went back and forth with Tommie Lee on social media, after Chrisean Rock allegedly punched her backup dancer in the face. The Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta star accused Braxton of only allowing Chrisean onstage for clout, prompting her to fire back. She took aim at Tommie Lee, shedding light on her past drug use.

Only a few days after their spat, Tommie Lee attended a sporting event, joined by none other than JR. She didn’t at all attempt to hide who she was with, instead posting various clips of the two of them together on her Instagram Story. Fans immediately speculated that she only went out with him to get under Braxton’s skin, but it’s unclear whether or not she was successful.

Sexyy Red Welcomes Kevin Gates To The Stage

This year alone, she’s managed to secure collabs with Drake and SZA, Lil Durk, DaBaby, and more. Clearly, the “Pound Town” performer doesn’t show any signs of slowing down. Her list of high-profile collabs isn’t the only thing continuing to grow these days, however. In the clip, Sexyy Red’s pregnant belly is also on full display, though it hasn’t kept her from her signature stage antics. Her authenticity and work ethic have gotten her a long way in recent months, but unfortunately, the feedback hasn’t been all positive.

She recently dropped off a music video for her new track “Free My N***a,” which has sparked a bit of controversy among viewers. The prison-themed video didn’t sit right with some fans, who felt that it was insensitive. Regardless, it’s racked up hundreds of thousands of listens on Spotify in only a few days.

Hazel-E Slams Cardi B, Insists Nicki Minaj Is On “Top”

During her recent interview with Tasha K, Hazel-E shared her thoughts on Cardi B, and she didn’t hold back. According to her, the “Bongos” performer has no grounds to claim that she’s on “top” right now, particularly when one considers the work that others like Nicki Minaj have done. She hurled quite a few insults the hitmaker’s way, making it clear that she’s not a fan.

Hazel-E’s obviously allowed to have her opinions as to who reigns supreme in the female rap game. Some social media users think she took things a bit too far, however. Notably, she took aim at the fact that Cardi is Latina. Many felt that it was unfair, irrelevant to her argument, and disrespectful.

Hazel-E Weighs In On Cardi B

“When you really like, take Nicki for who she is and her body of work and what she did for female rap, and you don’t want to give her credit?” she begins in a clip from the interview. “It’s like, I’m not no hater a** b*tch, so all this ghetto Cinderella f*ckin’ projects Spanish-a** motherf*ckin’ senorita concita f*ckin’ Spanish Latin female rap b*tch talkin’ bout she the top is cr*zy.” It’s no secret that the Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood star is on team Nicki, but many think she could have toned it down.

Cardi B was far from the only person Hazel-E spoke about during her interview with Tasha K, however. Elsewhere in the conversation, Hazel-E accused people like her ex Katt Williams, Migos, Remy Ma, Suge Knight, and more of conspiring to take Nicki down.

OnlyFans Star Joshua Hopkins Arrested Over Brutal Altercation At Nobu

OnlyFans model Joshua Hopkins’ recent getaway to the Bahamas didn’t go as planned, it appears. He visited Nobu on Paradise Island for a bite to eat, but unfortunately, it wasn’t as luxurious of an experience as one would expect. He told TMZ that he and the friend he had gone out to eat with, Jason Luv, were getting some attention from other diners wanting photos. This in itself wasn’t a problem, but according to him, things soon took a turn for the worst.

Hopkins says that the trouble began when Jason went to the bathroom, and he was sitting at their table by himself. He claims to have noticed a nearby couple staring him down, which he responded to by making eye contact. According to him, the woman then confronted him, standing up and shouting, “Who the f*** do you think you are?!?”

King Von’s Sister Shuts Down DJ Playing NBA YoungBoy At Her Party: Watch

Many speculate that King Von was wrapped up in a contentious feud with NBA YoungBoy ahead of his 2020 passing. It’s even rumored that it prompted the Atlanta shooting that cost the Chicago rapper his life. While this remains alleged, as none of it is confirmed, tensions remain between YB and the late performer’s loved ones. King Von’s sister Kayla B, for example, continues to make it clear where her loyalty lies.

Recently, she even shut down a DJ at her own birthday party, who appeared to have a questionable read on the room. In a new clip, the DJ is heard starting to play one of NBA YoungBoy’s songs, when she stops him in his tracks. “No YoungBoy, no YoungBoy,” she tells him. “Cut it out!”

While some social media users think she overreacted, others argue that she deserves not to be reminded of her brother’s tragic death at what’s supposed to be a celebration of her own life. She also allegedly just had a run-in with YB’s ex-girlfriend Arabian, which could have added to the bad taste in her mouth. The rumored altercation took place earlier this month, according to reports, and Kayla took to Instagram Live to vent about it shortly after.

“I walked past [the line to the club]. This f*cking b*tch punched me in my motherf*cking mouth. Never in a million years I ever thought a b*tch would ever just run up on me and punch me in the back of the head. Like after she punched me I tried to swing back like this…the security guards was holding her back. And then that’s when she was doing all that. Y’all tried to jump to me,” she alleged.

Unfortunately, things only escalated from there, when Tori’s mother allegedly leaked his phone number online and threatened to leak his address.
