In a truthful, yet hilarious back and forth banter, G-Unit soldiers Tony Yayo and Uncle Murda got into a heated debate on 4/20 as to whose movie career had the biggest impact. Murda only had two words for Yayo: Bruce Willis!
Power actor Gianni Paolo recorded the friendly argument as Murda is confident that his movie Reprisal with Bruce Willis is better than any on screen work ever done by Yayo.
“Bruce Willis! Who you did movies with?”, yelled the Don’t Come Outside rapper. “I did S.W.A.T too, stupid,” Yayo replied.
“Who was the lead actor? You can’t even name it,” the Brooklyn native responded before again yelling, “Bruce Willis!”

Yayo, on the other hand, was referring to his part in the 2011 Benny Boom-directed S.W.A.T: Firefight. He also landed a brief role playing himself in 2010’s Morning Glory, which featured an ensemble cast including Rachel McAdams, Harrison Ford, Diane Keaton, Patrick Wilson and Jeff Goldblum.
During a recent performance on his Behind The Desk Experience Tour, Dirty South Hip Hop legend Scarface paid tribute to the late Tupac Shakur by recalling a time when the pop culture icon played a prank on him and blew his high when he first arrived in Los Angeles.
“First time I got to California, I’m in L.A., smoking LA weed. We ain’t ever had no shit like this before,” Scarface said. “I’m living in Burbank and recording the Untouchable album. It’s my first time getting high with some L.A. chronic.”

Scarface continues, “The homeboy[Tupac] pull up on me, he got a black Hummer with a fucking siren and loudspeaker on it. I’m in my apartment in Burbank high as fuck for the first time ever, and they come up and they go, ‘Brad Jordan, we know you’re in there, come out with your hands up.’ I’m on the couch like this and my motherfucking high says [does a walking away action]. He just blew my fucking high, man, and he wanted to go to the studio and record, right? He wanted me to ride in this Hummer with him. I’m not going anywhere with him because he does not have a driver’s license. And he can’t drive at all.”
Face then performed his classic track “Smile” which he shared with Tupac, becoming one of the Houston native’s biggest hits that dropped just months after Tupac’s untimely demise.
The back and forth on wax between R&B crooner Chris Brown and Migos member Quavo has taken another unexpected turn with another involved party; Quavo’s ex-girlfriend and Brown’s former fling Saweetie.
The “My Type” rapper took to X(formerly Twitter) after her former beau dropped his “H*es & Bitches” diss response aimed at Brown. In the song, Quavo rapped, “I can take a model bitch and make a Saweetie, n-gga,” insinuating that he turned her into the successful artist she is today.
Saweetie hit back by posting a screenshot of an unopened DM from Quavo, but the preview of the message reads, “Damn. We used to mean af to each…” Saweetie cynically captioned the screenshot, “Hopefully the model he turns into me replies.”
Brown used the failed relationship between the two in his weaponized bars against the “Bad And Boujee” rapper, claiming to have slept with her while Quavo was still with her.
“You fucked my ex-ho, that’s cool, I don’t give no fuck, lil n-gga/ ‘Cause I fucked yo’ ex when you were still with her, bitch, I’m up, lil n-gga,” CB rapped.
Saweetie and Quavo began dating back in 2018 but the couple called it quits in 2021 over allegations he cheated on her.
In a recent social media post, Jill Scott sparked a debate by praising Chris Brown’s talents while responding to criticisms about his abusive history. Despite Brown’s past, Scott commended his multifaceted abilities, leading to a discussion about separating the art from the artist.
Much of the conversation surrounding Chris Brown revolves around his past assault on Rihanna and allegations of abuse from other women. Despite these controversies, Jill Scott took to Twitter to express admiration for Brown’s skills in singing, dancing, acting, and rapping, calling him “amazing” and highlighting his exceptional talent.
However, Scott’s praise prompted responses from fans pointing out Brown’s history of violence against women. Some argued that his abusive behavior should not be overlooked, while others defended his artistic abilities.
@chrisbrown is amazing. How does ANYBODY sing like THAT? Dance, look, Act and Rap… like THAT? Beyond gifted. It appears, exceptional people have to go through exceptional . There’s nothing to debate.
In response to one user who mentioned the women Brown has allegedly abused, Scott drew from her own experience with her mother’s abusive ex-husband, highlighting how talent and abusive behavior can coexist. She emphasized the importance of awareness and self-protection, suggesting that individuals should make informed decisions based on available information.
Despite the support for Brown’s talent, Scott acknowledged concerns about his recent diss track against Quavo, agreeing that certain actions may have crossed a line.
Overall, Scott’s comments sparked a broader conversation about the complexities of separating an artist’s talent from their personal behavior.

P. Frank Williams has been selected as the recipient of the 2024 School of Journalism and Media Studies Alumni Impact Award by his alma mater San Diego State University. The award will be presented to Williams on May 10, 2024 at JMS Next, the school’s annual graduation celebration.
Williams, an Emmy and 8-time NAACP Image winner, will be celebrated for his outstanding contributions to the field of media and storytelling producing and directing several acclaimed projects centered around Black culture and music including TV One’s renowned documentary series “Unsung” and “Unsung Hollywood,” BET’s award-winning series “American Gangster,” “Hip Hop Homicides” executive produced by 50 Cent and Mona Scott-Young and films such as “Wu: The Story of the Wu-Tang Clan,” and his latest top-trending Hulu documentary “Freaknik: The Wildest Party Never Told.”
“The journalism school was a place that I called home and it was a place where I discovered a lot about myself as a journalist, as a writer and as a reporter,” said Williams. “A lot of the lessons that I learned, stuff that I got from San Diego State, has propelled my career from newspapers to magazines to television and documentary filmmaking. Professionally, it means a lot to receive this award because JMS is the foundation of all that I’ve achieved.”
A native of Oakland, California, Williams has had a career spanning three decades in Film/TV and journalism, during which he has made a significant impact as a writer, speaker, teacher, and producer. The award honor comes on the heels of the recent announcement of his multimedia production company, For The Culture By The Culture (@FXCXC). Williams is actively addressing the underrepresentation of people of color in the media by prioritizing authentic representation both in front of and behind the camera.
“Williams personifies what the Alumni Impact Award is all about. We are celebrating him not only for his professional achievements but also for his commitment to social change and justice,” said director of JMS, Dr. Temple Northup.
“It’s just an amazing and beautiful feeling to be able to come full circle back to JMS. I just want to make sure that all of the students at the school know that it doesn’t matter your background or where you start,” said Williams. “It’s about putting the work in, staying focused and trying to get to that next level. So whatever it is that you can dream of, you can achieve it. You just got to go toward the goal and go toward the light.”
In an unexpected fashion that seemed harder than most rappers’ recent diss tracks, Chris Brown dropped a scathing diss track aimed at Migos’ front man Quavo entitled “Weakest Link” and now the number one online antagonizer is pressuring Quavo to return fire at Breezy or he can count this battle as a loss.
50 Cent seemed to give CB his props for the Weakest Link, posting the song’s cover art, which shows Quavo chomping on a glizzy, along with a snippet of the song.
“Oh my God i just heard this, if Quavo don’t come with some heat it’s a wrap. First the Fatboys break up now this!” he wrote.
Released on Friday (April 19), “Weakest Link” finds Chris Brown taking his feud with the former Migos member to another level.
Breezy addressed Quavo allegedly sleeping with Brown’s ex, Karreuche Tran, rapping, “You fucked my ex-ho, that’s cool, I don’t give no fuck, lil n-gga/ ‘Cause I fucked yo ex when you were still with her, bitch, I’m up, lil n-gga.”
Brown also takes a stab using the death of Quavo’s late nephew and Migos member TakeOff for some vicious get back. “R.I.P. TakeOff, he the only real one, I got true respect/ Crazy how when he died, everybody really wished it was you instead.”
Previously, Quavo had taken shots at Breezy on his song “Tender”, taunting him over his ex Karrueche Tran, history of violence against women and alleged drug habit. “You did the bitch wrong and now the bitch gone, she posted with a thug/ Call the bitch phone, she won’t come home, don’t beat her up/ It must be the drugs, need to cross out your plug,” rapped Quavo.
The beef between these two date all the way back to 2017, where the Brown and Quavo allegedly got into a physical altercation at the BET Awards Afterparty.
Kid Cudi made a triumphant return to the Coachella Valley Music Festival in Indio, California, on Sunday, delivering a mesmerizing performance that left the crowd in awe. However, what started as a night of electrifying music took an unexpected turn when Cudi suffered a broken foot during his set at the Sahara Tent.
The incident occurred as Cudi leaped off the stage and into the crowd, a move characteristic of his dynamic performances. Videos captured by fans showed the rapper falling awkwardly and being swiftly assisted by security personnel for medical attention. Despite the setback, Cudi later confirmed the injury on social media, expressing gratitude for the overwhelming support from his fans.
“Hey guys, so I broke my foot today at the show. Just leaving the hospital. Never broken a bone before so this is all a bit crazy,” Cudi wrote in a post on his social media platforms. “I wanna thank you all for your concerns and well wishes!! I love y’all man. I heard y’all still raging when I was offstage. Made me smile big.”
Despite the injury, Cudi’s resilience shone through as he delivered a remarkable performance, debuting tracks from his recent album, Insano, including hits like “Moon Man S**t” and “Blue Sky.”
In addition to his memorable performance, Cudi made headlines with another announcement last week—his engagement to Lola Sartore, a menswear designer. Sharing a series of pictures from the Knuckles premiere, Cudi expressed his joy, stating, “This amazing woman makes me so happy, she is everything to me and I’m so excited to share this news with you all.”
Sartore, too, took to her social media to share the joyous news, expressing her love for Cudi and excitement for their future together.
While Cudi’s relationship with Sartore marks a new chapter in his personal life, the rapper has always been candid about his journey to finding love. In the past, Cudi has been linked to several high-profile names, but his romance with Sartore seems to signal a new beginning for the rapper.
Hey guys, so I broke my foot today at the show. just leavin the hospital. Never broken a bone before so this is all a bit crazy. I wanna thank u all for ur concerns and well wishes!! I love yall man. I heard yall still ragin when I was offstage. Made me smile big
