Akbar V Revists Being Slapped By Young Thug: “We Are A Family”

by

After getting her Twitter account suspended in the midst of a nasty feud with Cardi B and her husband, Offset, Akbar V has taken some time to address other past beef that caught her a lot of attention in the media.

During a sit-down on The Progress Report podcast, the mother of five opened up about the 2017 incident during which YSL rapper Young Thug reportedly slapped her across the face in a parking lot, and although it was undeniably a tense moment at the time, she seems to have found peace with the situation now.

“It wouldn’t just like that, we was beefing, me and that boy…” Akbar began. “I done got in fights with all of them. Y’all got to understand, like, this is a family.”

Though she seemed to be having trouble getting words out, the rapper eventually said, “Chile, we done jumped down… We done… It’s family!”

“My little cousin Slug, we done jumped him at the park, like… We are family!” Akbar continued. “We gon’ have disagreements and arguments, I’m never gon’ say like ‘Oh, he beats women,’ and all of that.”

The “Super Freaky Girl (Queen Mix)” collaborator went on to describe Thug – who she reportedly previously hooked up with – as a “good person” with a “good heart,” even with all their past drama.

“I love him,” she said of the currently incarcerated rapper, earning her some backlash down in @theneighborhoodtalk’s comment section.

“Bruh. Nah. Idgah if we really are family. You smack me we enemies! We fighting,” one user wrote. Another added, “Don’t get me wrong, she’s talented, but she want fame sooooooo bad she’s willing to go through anything with big celebrities, girl that’s not family behaviour.”

Fans Think Kehlani & 070 Shake Have Broken Up

by

As we enter into Fall, better known as cuffing season, some have suggested that Kehlani is now single. The songbird has been blissfully in love with girlfriend 070 Shake, and they haven’t been shy about showing their affections. Fans speculated that the two entertainers were seeing each other long before they verified their romance. Since that time, they have put their love on display, but it has recently been suggested that the couple is no more.

It’s clear that Kehlani’s dedicated fanbase keeps up with their every move, and recently, the singer raised their hand when a DJ asked if there were any newly single people in the club.

Kehlani was standing next to the DJ when they initially seemed apprehensive about putting their hand in the air. When they did so, several fans in the crowd screamed at the news.

A Twitter user shared a clip of the moment and told their followers that “we can stop playing detective” about the singer’s relationship status. Kehlani nor 070 Shake have not stated publicly that they are no longer together, but this video is enough confirmation for some.

Check out the brief clip below.

Kid Cudi Unveils “Entergalactic” Production Credits, Says He Doesn’t Want To Release Any More Albums

by

It could be the end of an era for Kid Cudi.

After the arrival of the Ohio native’s highly anticipated Entergalactic album, fans have been praising both Scott Mescudi’s musical work as well as the Netflix Original film that it was released alongside. While the rapper looks to be in a strong place creatively at the moment, he revealed in an interview with Zane Lowe that he’s actually considering walking away from his performance alter ego – for the time being, anyway.

“The Kid Cudi stuff, I think I want to put it on the back burner and chill out with that. I think, I want to be done with it. I think, closing the chapter on Kid Cudi,” the 38-year-old shared when asked about his current plans for the future.

Mr. Rager then added, “I’ve made a lot of music, man. I’ve said a lot and I have other desires, I have other things I want to do. And I do not see me never making music, I’ll always f*ck around in the studio, or make something here and there. But, as far as getting in the studio and working on an album, and then going and touring it, I just don’t have it in me. I don’t have the desire.”

At this time in kid life, Mescudi is interested in putting more energy into his personal relationships, particularly the close bond he’s formed with his daughter as she’s gotten older. “We’ve been kicking in a lot lately and I’ve been having more time and it’s good, she’s growing up, our relationship is super tight. It’s what I always dreamed of,” the father of one revealed.

Without music as a primary focus in his life, Lowe was curious about how Cudi plans to channel his creative energy in the future. “I want to just write more TV shows, write more movies, produce more,” the rapper told the host.

“I just want to focus on Mad Solar Productions and just get that shit out a little bit more. And then, on the side, I got my clothing line that’s debuting in January, in Paris, during fashion week. So, I got those two things I’m really focused on and just designing and writing and that’s where I see myself headed.”

Aside from sharing the interesting news, Cudi has also unleashed the production credits for his Entergalactic album, which you can read below.

YNW Melly Caught Planning Escape From Jail According To Florida Sheriff’s Office

by

YNW Melly’s long-spanning murder case just got a lot more interesting.

According to Complex, a Florida Sheriff’s Office accused the 23-year-old – born Jamell Demons – of attempting to plan a breakout from prison alongside another inmate named Nicholas Lewis using the help of Melly’s attorney.

YNW Melly, real name Jamell Demons, is seen in a police booking photo after being charged with two counts of murder in the first degree February 13, 2019 in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Demons allegedly conspired with Cortlen Henry to fatally shot two other Florida based rappers, Christopher Thomas Jr and Anthony Williams, October 26. (Photo by Broward’s Sheriff’s Office via Getty Images)

The damning allegations were revealed on Tuesday (September 27) in court, and in the days after, the Broward County Sheriff’s General Counsel’s Office provided more information to the outlet about the “Murder on my Mind” artist’s current situation.

“On April 11, 2022, Broward Sheriff’s Office received a confidential tip regarding inmates Nicholas Lewis and Jamell Demons, both housed in the same unit at the Main Jail, planning an escape from jail by having Demons’ attorney bring in two handcuff keys to aid in the escape,” they explained. “Additional information provided by the source was that Lewis had a shank and drugs.”

Upon searching Lewis’ cell, multiple items were uncovered, including a six-inch shank, two razor blades, two lighters, and rolling papers. On top of that, the inmate was also reportedly holding both Seroquel and Klonopin pills, neither of which he has a prescription for.

Melly’s cell search yielded less troubling results, although officers did find food from the commissary and what’s been described as an “excessive [amount] of jail-issued clothing.”

“The confidential source gave us two pieces of information. One of them [about the shank and drugs] turned out to be a hundred percent true,” Assistant General Counsel Christian Tsoubanos explained on Tuesday in court. “And when they did the search of Demons’ cell, they did not find the handcuff key, but it could have been that there was not an opportunity to bring it into the facility yet.”

After the news went public, the attorney for the mother of one of Melly’s alleged victims shared a statement, saying, “As an attorney for a victim, we strongly feel any attempts to escape justice point to guilt.”

“This matter needs to be fully investigated, including the attorney’s involvement. Certainly, there are times when informants and even government agents are wrong or engaging in misconduct, but we’ve seen so much in this case from rooftop stripper parties across to diamond teeth dentist needs, this is yet another chapter in what needs to just be finished in court.”

It’s also been noted that, during his time behind bars since 2019, Melly has made over three thousand calls to his girlfriend, Erran Barnett, resulting in his phone privileges being taken away as he only used his own personal identification number to make 22 of them.

One of the rapper’s attorneys, Raven Liberty, has been accused of handing out her phone login credentials to others so they can make “non-recorded video visitation” calls with the Florida native.

DaniLeigh Accused Of Having B.Simone Removed From Wild N’ Out Episode Over DaBaby

by

DaniLeigh and DaBaby may just be co-parents these days, but the new mom is still protective over her ex. The tumultuous couple made headlines last year after getting into a fight on Instagram Live while 26-year old songstress was feeding their 3-month old daughter. A bowling alley brawl and a few doctor’s appointments later, co-parenting seems to be going well for them both. 

Despite their separation, the “Take It Easy” singer is still sensitive when it comes to her relationship with the North Carolina rapper. So much so that during a recent appearance on Wild N’ Out, she reportedly had B. Simone removed from the episode because of the comedienne’s public affinity for DaBaby. 

Back in 2020, Simone and Baby sparked dating rumors after she starred in his music video for “Find My Way.” Just one year prior, the Wild N’ Out star dressed as a bride and brought out a cut-out board picture of DaBaby to a Halloween party. While this all took place before DaniLeigh publicly began dating DaBaby, the singer still wasn’t fond of having B. Simone on set while filming the MTV show earlier this week. 

A source revealed that before filming began, Dani felt like something was going on between her daughter’ father and B. Simone, so she expressed those feelings to executive producers, who ultimately made the big decision. However, DaniLeigh laughed off the allegations, simply responding, “LOL [laughing emoji].” Shortly after, B. Simone’s Wild N’ Out cast members, including Jess Hilarious and Pretty Vee chimed in to defend the comedienne. “Weak sh** don’t give a f**,” Jess commented. Vee added, “No shade but this back & both is mad old. My sis @thebsimone is doing her THING.”

As for B. Simone, she liked the Hollywood Unlocked post that reported the story, leading fans to believe that the claims about DaniLeigh are in fact true. DaBaby has yet to comment on the incident.

Diddy Sued By Woman Who Claims To Be Kim Porter’s Niece: Report

by

A strange report has emerged this week and it shows that Sean “Diddy” Combs is being targeted in a lawsuit. This isn’t just any bit of litigation; the person taking to Diddy to court is only known by “Jane Roe” in documents, stated TMZ, but in a follow-up, a “source” claimed the woman wasn’t telling the truth.

Today (September 27), the outlet reported that Roe alleged she is a relative of Kim Porter‘s who worked for the mogul as a live-in nanny.

Porter, who unexpectedly passed away in November 2018, was Diddy’s ex and mother to three of his children. Roe—who stated that she is the late mom of four’s niece—suggested that the day after Porter passed, Diddy asked her if she could move in and become a full-time, around-the-clock nanny to his twin daughters, D’Lila and Jessie James.

It was in August 2020, nearly two years after Porter’s death, that Roe claimed she told Diddy she was pregnant and asked for maternity leave. When the time came for her to temporarily leave her position, Roe alleged that Diddy was angered and fired her. She claimed that because she was with child but unmarried, he said it “set a bad example” for his kids.

After their story went viral, TMZ returned to say that a “source” told them the woman was not Porter’s niece, nor was she terminated because she was expecting.

Ari Fletcher Addresses Rumours About Moneybagg Yo, DreamDoll, Meek Mill, & More: Watch

by

On the latest episode of Dinner with the Don, 27-year-old Ari Fletcher had plenty of rumours to address, and the mother of one didn’t hesitate to get vulnerable when discussing everything from the current status of her relationship with Moneybagg Yo to the online gossip about her and DreamDoll’s alleged feud.

While working on cooking an at-home KFC Bowl with her friend Tuson, he asked The Don, “Are you single?”

Ari promptly looked up at him and responded with, “You know, I’m in between jobs,” with a shrug and a smile, earning a laugh from everyone in the room.

While that comment didn’t exactly answer the question, she would later reveal in the episode that she did, in fact, break up with her rapper boyfriend, although she didn’t specify exactly why. “I did break up with that motherf*cker,” she confirmed while stirring ingredients together.

“Yes, I did! Yes, I did, because he had me f*cked up!” she went on, although when asked if she plans to take her ex back, her friend chimed in and said, “Who knows what the future gon’ hold.”

At the same time, Fletcher clarified that the reason for her and the Memphis-born rapper’s drama has nothing to do with any infidelity. “That whole little thing, it wasn’t about no cheating, it didn’t have nothing to do with nobody else,” she clarified. “It was just between me and him.”

When she was asked about her friendship with DreamDoll – who she’s rumoured to have been beefing with lately – the YouTuber made it clear that while she has a lot of love for Dream, she’s “straight on her right now,” but that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re on the outs.

As for the gossip floating around that Fletcher had found herself a soccer player to spend time with after declaring herself a single woman, she shut those down quickly. “No, I do not know that man, y’all,” she insisted.

“Seriously, we just went to a soccer game because it was something that we’ve never done before, and I guess the passes we had just so happened to be his,” the model explained.

Finally, the Chicago native addressed the Meek Mill speculation that arose during New York Fashion Week, after the two celebrities posted up separately in similar-looking hotel rooms. The “FWM” artist had previously denied the claims shortly after they wound up on various blogs, and now Fletcher is doubling down on his response.

6ix9ine Says He Was Drunk When He Dissed Brittney Griner But Still Stands On It

by

Blame it on the alcohol.

Just a few days ago, New York rapper 6ix9ine failed to heed previous warning and went through with his trip to Russia, where he performed in front of an adoring crowd – not before taking a moment to diss currently captive WNBA athlete Brittney Griner for the cameras, though.

“F*ck Brittney Griner,” the “GOOBA” artist said in a video shared earlier this weekend, leaning in close to whisper the hateful comment, which he giggled at immediately after delivering.

Those aren’t the only antics 6ix9ine got wrapped up in during his trip overseas. In one video, he can be seen standing shirtless on stage, a bottle of what looks to be vodka in his hands. While speaking to the crowd, he tells them that if anything unfortunate were to happen to him, he would rather be buried in Russia than sent back to America.

Cameras also caught the recording artist leaving the venue, showing love to patrons waiting outside as he walked out – many of whom were clearly star-struck over seeing Tekashi up close and in person.

As for the trash talk, 6ix9ine aimed at Griner earlier, he’s since addressed it and claimed that he was under the influence at the time, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t still stand by what he said.

“I’m not gonna lie I was drunk,” the 26-year-old shared on Instagram. “But I stand on that. I’m in Russia while y’all are scared to come here. Argue with yourself, [suck my d*ck], I’m like that.”

He then reminded readers, “Just remember I’m still alive while your favourite rapper is dead. I’ll be mad too.”

Cardi B & Akbar V’s Explosive Feud: Everything You Need To Know

by

It all began with a subtweet.

As she rang in the last week of September, Cardi B came across a shady tweet from Atlanta-based rapper Akbar V, leading her to subliminally clap back. At the time, the mother of two likely had no idea of the storm of drama that would proceed in the following hours.

Akbar V Works with Nicki Minaj

It’s no secret that Cardi’s star has shone brighter than Akbar’s for most of their careers, especially since Bardi won Grammy for Best Rap Album with her debut project. However, Akbar’s felt especially extra braggadocious recently after landing a feature alongside names like BIA and JT on Nicki Minaj’s “Super Freaky Girl (Queen Mix).”

The Barbz and the Bardi Gang have long pinned their favorite artists against one another. Now that Akbar made it clear where she stands in the battle between Cardi and Nicki, it’s not exactly surprising to see her feud with the “Be Careful” artist, though we didn’t foresee things getting this catty.

Subliminal Twitter Shade

Akbar’s initial tweet from yesterday’s blowout read, “If @chartdata ain’t say it we ain’t believing the CAP.” The light Twitter jab came just as Cardi B and GloRilla’s “Tomorrow 2” hit #1 on Apple Music. The tweet led many to believe that she was throwing shade at Bardi. “Count all the times Chart Data posted [you],” the Grammy Award-winning rap diva clapped back.

Despite the fact that the two hadn’t actually @’d each other yet, Cardi moved the feud offline. Cardi gave her new nemesis a call – something Akbar V clearly wasn’t pleased about. “Who gave this ho Cardi B my number?” she asked in another now-unavailable post. “Gotta be one of y’all weird ass hoes?”

Clearly, the phone conversation didn’t solve much. The Invasion of Privacy artist was back to complaining about “hoes that throw rocks and hide their hands” by Monday mid-afternoon (September 26). “Been subtweeting me for months and now you wanna make it about another woman as a shield. Stand on your shit!!!” the “Hot Sh*t” rapper urged Akbar.

Parenting Police and Sex Tape Scandals

After some urging from Cardi, the “Real Atlanta” artist took her foe’s advice. The two began engaging in an all-out Twitter war, pulling out all the stops. The two traded bars regarding such parenting techniques and shared screenshots from previously leaked sex tapes.

“See the difference between me and [you is] I had n***as wanting to put babies in me while I was in the jungle,” Playboy‘s Creative Director wrote to Akbar V. “But I said to myself I won’t put my kids in the same hoods I was raised in, let alone ABANDON THEM.”

As things became increasingly heated, the “WAP” hitmaker took things to a place that some would describe as “too far.” She shared footage from Ak’s previously leaked sex tape on her social media page. “Tell me that you love me,” the Georgia native can be heard requesting of her partner in the clip – a line that Cardi has gone on to make fun of incessantly.

Akbar first expressed anger and disappointment at her fellow rapper’s decision to post the clip (especially since her children might see it again). However, internet sleuths showed Cardi that she previously used an image from the sex tape as cover art. The revelation caused the Cardi Tries host to question the sincerity of Akbar’s desperate plea for the video’s removal.

Offset’s Beef With Lil Baby

It was bad enough that the two women felt the need to bring their children into their beef. When the “Female Kanye” brought CB’s husband, Offset, into the conversation, things really started to pop off.

“Y’all check on Cardi’s hubby, [he] keep getting caught cheating cause her head trash and p*ssy week,” Akbar taunted. “P*ssy weak? Baby, you the one [with] five baby daddies,” Cardi clapped back.

“You gave Thug head and the head wasn’t even good enough for him to stick his d*ck in you. He told you [you] gotta lose weight first. You lost the weight and [he] STILL DIDN’T F*CK YOU [crying laughing emojis].”

After Offset’s name unwillingly entered the chat, he felt compelled to share some words with Akbar. “Somebody check on Offset, he still ain’t got his chain back from #4PF,” she wrote.

If you’re not familiar, AV was referring to the “Ric Flair Drip” artist’s apparent feud with Lil Baby, which most recently made headlines just last month as Baby seemingly threw shade at Set over his lawsuit aimed at Quality Control over his artist rights.

The Migos member claims that he bought himself out of his deal with the label at the beginning of 2021. Subsequently, P and Quality Control released a statement to Rolling Stone denying his claims. “Not only are the accusations in this lawsuit false, they are totally detached from reality. Offset remains a part of QC,” it read.

Offset Joins The Chat

Seeing Lil Baby’s name associated with his clearly didn’t please the 30-year-old rapper as he hopped on Twitter to aggressively lash out at Akbar.

The mother of five alleged that she received a call from the father of five, but he quickly denied it. “Bitch that’s not my number,” ‘Set clapped back. “Why would I call you when bitch already handling you lame ass hoe?”

“Offset calling talking bout [you] shouldn’t have put me in it n*gga, all I got to do is make one call. Three letters, #4PF. [You] gonna shit on yourself like [you] did behind compound,” Akbar alleged in reference to a rumor that the “Bad & Boujee” rapper was attacked by Lil Baby’s crew in 2020.

From the sounds of things, the Atlanta-based artist plans to craft a diss track, which Cardi teased will only “chart on Twitter.” Seeing as Akbar’s account is still suspended, though, it’s unlikely that even that will happen anytime soon.

Back To Business

For the husband and wife’s part, they shut down the “Cold Summer” artists’ claims about their past fidelity struggles the best way they know how – with some NSFW Instagram snaps.

“I fight for my bitches and I’m fighting over d*ck too,” the Hustlers actress captioned the photo dump, which finds her looking as glamorous as ever in a backless black dress, showing off her bodacious behind and colorful tattoo as she leans in close to her longtime partner.

Rachel Dolezal’s OnlyFans Account Is A Tribute To Rihanna’s Fenty Lingerie

by

Rihanna’s name has been everywhere over the past few days after the 34-year-old shared the exciting news on Sunday (September 25) that she’ll be performing at next year’s Super Bowl Halftime Show.

Since then, we’ve seen the Bad Gal hit up the studio with her boyfriend A$AP Rocky to prepare for her upcoming return to the stage, and now, she’s being linked to a wildly unexpected place – Rachel Dolezal’s OnlyFans account.

On Monday (September 26) evening, leaked photos surfaced online from the controversial activist’s NSFW account, revealing that some of the content she shares on her profile finds her posing in lingerie from Rihanna’s Savage x Fenty line.

“Welcome to my OnlyFans page, where I post creative content and interact with fans more than on any other platform,” Dolezal’s bio reads. “Subscribers get to see how my sensual side pairs with my creative spirit through intimate images inspired by colour, light, and lingerie on the weekends.”

After the photos surfaced online, several social media users expressed shock over seeing the 44-year-old acting so provocatively, but as TMZ reminds us, she’s not exactly a stranger to controversy.

As you may remember, Dolezal was swept up in the middle of major backlash in 2015 after she was outed for posing as a Black woman for years, despite being born to two white parents.

After the truth came to light, the OF creator stepped down from her position with the NAACP, although it’s been noted that she still openly identifies as an African-American woman.
