J Cole Pauses NYC Bike Ride To Take Photos With Fans

by

It’s no secret that it’s been a busy couple of months for J Cole, but fortunately, that hasn’t stopped him from showing love to fans when the opportunity arises. Recently, for example, the hitmaker was spotted cruising around New York City on his bike. Of course, some supporters eventually spotted him in the street, stopping him in his tracks to chat and take photos. He obliged for a short time before pedaling away, surely making the fans’ day with the fun interaction.

It may seem somewhat unexpected to spot J Cole in the wild, particularly considering his involvement in what’s become the most viral rap feud of the year. After catching a stray on Kendrick Lamar’s Future and Metro Boomin collab “Like That,” he fired back with a diss track of his own, “7 Minute Drill.” He later took it back, however, and issued an onstage apology. This was a controversial move at the time, though most agreed it was the right decision after witnessing how the beef panned out.

J Cole Mingles With Some Excited Fans

Since then, he seems to have gotten right back to his normal day-to-day activities. Last month, he was seen relaxing on the beach, looking unbothered as can be. He’s also taken part in various high-profile collaborations recently and appears to have a new one on the way. In May, J Cole teamed up with Cash Cobain for “Grippy,” which wasn’t necessarily well received by listeners. After that, he joined forces with Tems for “Free Fall,” and many saw it as a redeeming moment.

Now, he has a collab with Tee Grizzley in the works, as the duo was seen filming a music video just last week. What do you think of J Cole getting spotted riding his bike around NYC?

XXXTentacion’s Son Gekyume Adorably Poses With Fans On Anniversary Of Father’s Death 

by

It’s been six years since XXXTentacion passed away from injuries related to a shooting, and in honor of the anniversary, his fans are looking back on his life and tremendous legacy. Ahead of his death, the artist was expecting a child with Cleopatra Bernard, Gekyume. Sadly, the two of them never got to meet, as XXXTentacion died seven months before his son’s arrival. The child’s loved ones, as well as fans, continue to remind him just how impactful his late father was regardless.

It appears as though the boy, albeit only five years old, is starting to get a sense of his dad’s stardom. In a new clip, for instance, he’s seen adorably posing alongside eager fans. He flashed a peace sign while rocking a t-shirt featuring XXXTentacion’s face, clearly happy to make supporters’ days.

Gekyume Flashes Peace Signs As He Poses With Fans

While Gekyume may still be a bit young to fully comprehend his father’s fame, it’s obvious that he’s well on his way, and embracing having become an icon in his own right. This isn’t the first time fans have seen him paying tribute to his dad either. Back in April, footage of the child proudly showing off a framed photo of XXXTentacion onstage performing surfaced online. Most were glad to see the young boy in good spirits, celebrating his dad despite not having the opportunity to get to know him.

Not everyone had the same reaction, however. YMT Boatwright, one of the men allegedly responsible for taking XXXTentacion’s life, reposted the clip alongside several laughing emojis. Clearly, he has no remorse for leaving Gekyume without a father, which may or may not change as he spends the rest of his life behind bars. What do you think of XXXTentacion’s 5-year-old son Gekyume posing for photos with fans? What about fans looking back on the late artist’s legacy in honor of the sixth anniversary of his untimely passing?

Moneybagg Yo Confronts Fan For Throwing Cash At Him: Watch

by

It’s no secret that Moneybagg Yo likes money, but evidently, the rapper doesn’t appreciate having it thrown at him onstage. During a recent show, an audience member decided to make it rain on the “Bussin” performer, prompting him to fire back. In a clip making its rounds online, he tells the overzealous clubgoer off, making it clear that he took it as a sign of disrespect.

“Aye, throw the money at your b*tch, man,” he told the fan. “I ain’t the b*tch. F*ck wrong with you? Let’s get this sh*t right, n***a.” Based on his reaction, he took offense to being treated like a stripper and wasn’t about to let it slide. Fortunately, things didn’t escalate any further from there, and Moneybagg Yo simply proceeded with his show. The same can’t be said for every rapper who’s been showered with cash in recent months, however.

Moneybagg Yo Asks Money-Throwing Fan, “F*ck Wrong With You?”

Last month, for example, Offset was performing at a club when someone in the front row threw a stack of money at him. Instead of brushing it off, he turned around and headed towards the person to confront them. It appeared as though security was able to intervene before things got too out of hand, though the two of them continued throwing cash at each other for some time. Rick Ross also dealt with a similar situation in January, when he appeared at a nightclub and had a fan throw a small stack of money right in his face. Looking irritated, he returned the favor, hitting the man in the face with some bills from close range.

G Herbo Asks Fans To Refrain From Requesting Photos While He’s With His Kids

by

It’s no secret that being famous comes with a lot of perks, but according to G Herbo, it has its disadvantages too. Earlier this week, the Chicago-born performer took to social media to open up about one of them, which is being approached by fans while just trying to spend time with his family. He took to his Instagram Story with a message for his supporters, asking them to respect him and his loved ones if they ever spot him out in public.

“You know I show everybody love. I appreciate all the love I get from everybody,” he explained. “But it’s just something that bother me man and I really don’t even feel comfortable saying this but I gotta say it ’cause it happen over and over. If you see me out and I’m with my family – especially my kids – don’t ask me for no pictures man. I be going through the airport – I’m a real father. I be traveling alone.”

He went on, describing how fans will approach him while he’s holding his baby, expecting him to put the child down just to take photos. “And I don’t wanna rub nobody the wrong way or come off like I’m rude or an a**hole,” G Herbo also added. But it’s just so disrespectful. Why would I put my baby down to take a picture for your Instagram? Just say wassup and keep it moving. I really appreciate the support, I f*ck with y’all but don’t do that, man. That sh*t ain’t cool.”

DaBaby Fan Gropes His Genitals At Gas Station, He Responds To Uproar

by

Today, DaBaby took to Instagram to share a clip of a questionable fan encounter he experienced recently, which has since sparked uproar. In the clip, he’s seen sitting in his car at a gas station when a woman approaches him looking for a photo. After posing for the selfie, and making some suggestive comments, the woman says goodbye and tells him to be safe. Before walking away, however, she gropes his genitals. He closes the door as she leaves, saying “She just sexually assaulted me. Boy, let’s go.”

Several reports have since been made about the incident, prompting a debate about the encounter among social media users. Several commenters note that the fan took things entirely too far, and should have respected his personal space and kept her hands to herself. Others think that DaBaby was joking, and wouldn’t have shared the clip and seemed so unfazed had he been upset by the incident.

While it doesn’t appear as though DaBaby is distraught over the interaction, users note that the fan still took things too far, and is lucky that the performer didn’t decide to press charges or put her on blast.

Diddy & Stevie J’s Relaxing Bike Ride Interrupted By Fans Amid Federal Investigation

by

Last week, two of Diddy’s mansions were raided by Homeland Security as part of a federal sex trafficking investigation. Since then, social media users and peers have been airing their opinions online. While Diddy hasn’t been charged with anything, many admit they expect the worst, though the mogul himself appears unbothered.

Diddy has maintained his innocence after the raids, and the slew of allegations he’s been hit with in recent months. He’s even been spotted out and about on numerous occasions as the saga unfolds, most recently alongside his longtime friend, Stevie J. For those who don’t know, Diddy is accused of showing Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones an explicit video featuring Stevie J, and of having a sexual relationship with him.

Diddy & Stevie J Get Swarmed By Supporters

Regardless, the two of them were seen enjoying a relaxing bike ride together this week, which was quickly interrupted by a swarm of adoring fans. The duo was all smiles, pausing their excursion to take photos with several supporters before carrying on. Last week, shortly after the raids, they were seen together again grabbing a bite to eat at a Miami cafe. Diddy looked to be in good spirits, even flashing his signature “L” at an onlooker’s camera and saying “Love.”

Obviously, the Bad Boy Records founder has no intentions of keeping a low profile amid the ongoing investigation. While some could argue this will only add more fuel to the fire, others think that if he’s as innocent as he claims to be, he should have nothing to worry about.

Anthony Mackie’s “Rude” Fan Encounter Sparks Social Media Debate

by

Earlier this week, one disappointed fan took to social media to reflect on her experience meeting Anthony Mackie, and her story has brought about a major debate. The fan claims that she spotted the actor at a gas station in New Orleans, and eventually decided to approach him to compliment him for his work. Unfortunately, however, the conversation didn’t go as she had planned. According to her, as she walked up to him and began to speak, he put his hand up and said “No,” urging her to go away.

“Let me just say, rudest human being alive,” she began. “The f*cking celebrities make it seem like we’re f*cking roaches and rats… B*tch, I’m pumping… I’m at the same gas station as you, b*tch! Baby, we on the same level playing field! I’m pumping the same gas you pumping right now! And you can’t even look at me!”

Disappointed Fan Calls Out Anthony Mackie For Gas Station Encounter

While some social media users can empathize with the fan over the undoubtedly awkward exchange, others argue that Mackie has a right to speak to whomever he wants. Countless users are coming to his defense, insisting that he was simply trying to protect his peace. “Y’all are so bothered by boundaries and I aspire to be just like Anthony Mackie when it comes to my private time and space,” one Twitter/X commenter says.

Apparently, Mackie also has a track record of being less than excited to be approached in public. Some suggest that fans should have learned their lesson by now. “Anthony Mackie ate that I’m sorry,” another user writes. “If saying ‘no’ is someone being the rudest person alive… I have no hope for this world.”

Nicki Minaj Hands Fans Her Microphone During Show, The Unexpected Result Goes Viral

by

Nicki Minaj continues to make headlines for her Pink Friday 2 world tour, which fans anticipated for months before it finally got started a few weeks back. While some Barbz were busy readying their fits, scoring tickets, and more, others were rehearsing the femcee’s song lyrics. Of course, this was all in hopes that they’d be lucky enough to get selected by Nicki herself to sing to the crowd.

Earlier this week, one fortunate fan had their wish granted. Nicki handed the eager Barb her microphone during her performance of “The Night Is Still Young.” While she certainly looked honored to be chosen for the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the moment was quickly cut short. Just after handing the fan her mic, their questionable singing skills put Nicki into a state of shock. Looking horrified, she motioned for the fan to return the microphone.
