Julia Fox, the most recent ex-gf of Kanye West, went viral after giving a tour of her small, one bedroom apartment in Manhattan that she shares with her infant son. Fox admitted that her virtual tour may her roasted online, but decided to show people who maybe complaining about their circumstances that their life isn’t as bad as they think.

“I never thought in a million years that I would do this, but I do believe in maximum transparency and so I am going to give you guys an apartment tour,” Fox began. “I know I am going to get roasted and whatever, but hopefully maybe somebody can watch this and be like ‘maybe I’m not doing so bad.’”

Fox’s post ended with talking about her evident mice infestation that she doesn’t really plan on dealing with.

“It’s a problem depending how you look at it. I kind of let them rock,” Fox admitted. “I appreciate that at night while we’re sleeping, they clean up the crumbs that my son drops on the floor. So yeah, I’m not going to evict the mice anytime soon.”

According to several confirmed reports, Bronx drill rapper Lil Tjay has been arrested for the second time in two weeks for failure to appear in court in relation to his felony gun possession charge that he caught at the Ice Spice video shoot earlier this month.

Dawn Florio, attorney for Lil Tjay aka Tione Merrit, says about Tjay’s most recent arrest, “Lil Tjay was not rearrested for another gun charge. He was excused from appearing in court last Friday by the arraignment Judge. Another Judge revoked his bond and put him back in jail for missing court on Friday even though he was told by the first Judge that he did not have appear. Lil Tjay’s family posted the bail yesterday and he is free. It is so unfortunate that he had to be jailed for something that was not his fault.”

Tjay was originally arrested for felony gun possession on January 16 at an Ice Spice video shoot in the Bronx. The NYPD conducted a search on a vehicle that was illegally parked containing Lil Tjay and four other individuals and uncovered four firearms. Tjay was arrested, but bonded out the next day.

Florio claims that Tjay’s arrest was a result of an illegal search and says that she can prove that the illegal weapons did not belong to her client.

Tjay’s next court appearance is scheduled for February 14.

In an interview on Big Boy’s Neighborhood earlier this year, Fif gave his insight on the rift between Master P and his son Romeo, detailing how the issues between the Millers are totally different than the problems between him and his oldest son, Marquise.

50 then delved into Master P’s business savvy, which led to him explaining how P out-negotiated him on his first tour, which was orchestrated by the No Limit CEO.

“What I’ll say about P is he was slick,” 50 Cent detailed. “He came, he gave me the money for the eight shows, right? We did four of them. He said, ‘Aw man, something happened we gonna have to take a break. We’ll just come back and do the other four later.’ When I came back to do the other four, I had already sold two million records. He had already paid me so I had to do the shows. He knew! He was like, ‘This muthaf****’s on fire! This is gonna go off.’”
