Despite winning the Heisman Trophy over the weekend, things are not all sunshine and rainbows for Travis Hunter. The Colorado Buffalo wideout and cornerback took home the coveted hardware after being in a competitive two-horse race with Boise State Bronco running back, Ashton Jeanty. It was a controversial decision, but Travis definitely made a strong case with playing on both sides of the ball at a high level. But he’s not having a bad time right now because of that. Instead, it has to do with his fiancée, Leanna Lenee, and her controversial behavior over these last couple of days.
Fans of the future NFL draft pick are trying to warn him about her intentions and the red flags that continue to pop up. In terms of this weekend, it started at the Heisman ceremony on Saturday. When Travis Hunter was announced the winner, his head coach, Deion Sanders, and his other loved ones stood up immediately to congratulate him. However, as you can see below, Sanders sort of forces her to get out of her seat. She puts on a smile, but fans are highly skeptical. Then, it kind of gets uglier from there.
While at a scheduled fan meet and greet like event, Lenee is seen sitting on the couch while Travis takes pictures with the kids. But once again, it’s how she’s putting herself on display in public that has everyone upset for the athlete. In the clip, you can hear Lenee say with some attitude, “What do you want me to do… I just sit here then.” But Travis Hunter is standing by his girl’s side during this unrelenting barrage of hate. She claims to have been drinking and crying because of it and he’s not trying to hear it from the media one bit. You can see his heated response in the repost from The Neighborhood Talk above.
Travis Hunter defends his fiancée after comedian Godfrey warns him to be careful about her
Travis Hunter’s fiancée recently revealed she initially ignored him because he wasn’t her type but he eventually won her over.
This is the MOST concerning part about Travis Hunter’s girlfriend or Fiance A Tattoo is bad enough on a female or wife… But being on her wedding RING FINGER IS 1000x worse pic.twitter.com/qBtDo5zayG
Even though he’s trying to put a stop to this, fans feel they are just trying to help. If you go on Twitter right now you will see tons of them pointing to past comments, Lenee’s body language, and all of the above. Comedian Godfrey is even trying to have a heart-to-heart with Travis Hunter and making him aware of her questionable actions and words. He’s been one of many to point out how Lenee said in an older Q&A video with Travis that “he wasn’t my type.” She did try to debunk that skepticism around it by commenting on how he was in high school when he tried to shoot his shot. All in all, Travis’ response tells us that he’s committed to Leanna after getting engaged to her earlier this year and we sincerely wish them nothing but the best!
Earlier this year, Cristina Mackey and Rick Ross decided to go their separate ways after several months of dating. The former pair never provided fans with a full explanation of what exactly prompted the split. He’s since gotten into a new relationship, however. Rozay hard-launched his romance with Justice J Williams in October, showering the social media personality with various lavish gifts. Mackey’s relationship status remains unclear, but that doesn’t mean social media users don’t have any theories.
Recently, for example, she took to Instagram Live to chat with fans from her dressing room when an unexpected guest popped up. It was none other than NLE Choppa, who she’s reportedly appearing in a new Christmas film with sometime soon. Immediately, rumors that the two of them might be more than just co-stars began to fly, though these are all unconfirmed at the time of writing. Yesterday, however, he took to Instagram with a post that only compounded fans’ suspicions.
In a series of photos, Mackey and Choppa are seen posing on what appears to be a red carpet together, behind the scenes of their upcoming film, and more. “Christmas Movie/R&B Project Before New Years,” he captioned the post alongside some festive emojis. Unsurprisingly, fans in The Shade Room‘s comments section have mixed reactions to the photos.
While many are convinced the two artists are together, others are sure there’s nothing romantic going on between them. “Just because pictures are taken together doesn’t necessarily mean they are a couple,” one commenter claims. “They could just be friends,” another insists. For now, it looks like fans will just have to wait and see whether things are really heating up between Mackey and Choppa, or if they’re simply spending more time together due to their upcoming film.
It’s no secret that things between Cardi B and Offset have gotten heated in recent months. After filing for divorce, the “Enough” rapper announced that she was expecting their third child together. Since then, they’ve gone back and forth on social media various times, threatening to expose each other, trading insults, and more.
Yesterday, some of Offset’s messages were even leaked online after his account was hacked. Screenshots showed a tense conversation between him and Cardi from March. In the messages, Cardi seemingly accused Offset’s mother of stealing from her, mentioned his alleged relationship with someone named Pree, and more. As these screenshots made their rounds online, Cardi hopped on X to do some leaking of her own. In response to a critic suggesting that Offset wasn’t interested in her, she shared screenshots of some of his most thirsty messages.
During a recent chat with her fans on Twitter Spaces, she addressed all of this and provided an update on where she and the former Migos member stand. “I’m not even gonna lie to y’all it was a hack,” Cardi said of her and Offset’s leaked argument. “Sh*t is old, it’s not on purpose. I would never get back with this n***a but I’m not even gonna lie, we’ve been peaceful for a week. So, we like the energy, it’s peaceful for a week. I don’t bother you, you don’t bother me.”
She continued, explaining why she decided to post Offset’s thirsty messages. “And yes I did post that f*cking text message myself because it’s like I don’t like when n****s try to play me. I really don’t like when n****s try to play me like I’m not the baddest b*tch,” she admitted. “Okay? If a n***a be doing them it’s because n****s is just n****s, they dogs.”
Last week, Remy Ma and Papoose’s 15-year marriage took a turn for the worse, when she hopped online to expose him for an alleged affair. She posted screenshots of some alleged messages between him and professional boxer Claressa Shields, which seem to show her expressing interest in receiving gifts, flowers, and more. He quickly fired back by bringing up her own alleged affair with Eazy The Block Captain, which has had social media users up in arms for months.
Unsurprisingly, this resulted in a heated back-and-forth between Remy and Papoose. Shields even got involved at one point, calling Remy a “clown,” and slamming her for allegedly having two boyfriends. Eventually, she jokingly challenged the rapper to a boxing match on X. “Claressa Shields vs @RealRemyMa Feb 2nd! Come get yo a** whooped crash out!!” she wrote. She went on to share footage of herself training with a caption that some social media users thought could have been directed at Remy. That remains unconfirmed.
Either way, fans are looking back on Papoose’s relationship with Shields with a new perspective. In a resurfaced clip, for example, the two of them are seen backstage at one of her fights. They appeared to be in good spirits at the time, joking and laughing as Papoose called Shields a “champ.” For now, fans aren’t exactly sure where they stand. A recent rant from Shields, however, indicates that she’s unfazed by all of the drama she’s been involved in lately.
“You want to know what really gets on my nerves, that grinds my gears, I mean grinds them so bad… Is that when y’all think I give a f*ck. Listen to me, I do not give a f*ck about so much sh*t,” she told followers on Instagram Live last week, seeming annoyed. “I be bored responding, needing something to do.”
Megan Thee Stallion had social media curious about her comments on a video that accuses entertainer Black Chyna of sex trafficking. A TikTok known as Ava Louise shared a series of posts discussing an alleged incident with Black Chyna, claiming that the entertainer attempted to sex traffic her. Parts of the alleged situation are being told as a hashtag series titled #mylore. In part 6 of the lore, TikTok tells a story of reporting Black Chyna to the LAPD and FBI. Ava shared that Black Chyna has allegedly sent her a cease-and-desist behind Ava’s TikTok stories.
Ava Louise shared that social media users have called her a liar for retelling her experiences due to her self-proclaimed clout-chasing reputation. Megan Thee Stallion surprised many with her comment under the video with three face tears of joy emojis. Megan would not elaborate on the comment. Ava Louise’s video would also include alleged screenshots from another user who claims Black Chyna also tried to sex traffic them as well. Ava Louise’s videos have received 354,000 views up to 1.7 million views on TikTok
Issues between Megan and Black Chyna are unknown. In 2020, Megan Thee Stallion recruited Black Chyna for the music video to her hit song “Body.” Accusations against Black Chyna involving sex trafficking have never occurred until now. The influencer has several previous domestic violence cases with past relationships. She has two children: King Stevenson, a son with rap star Tyga, and Dream Kardashian, a daughter with reality star Rob Kardashian.
Megan is currently in a legal battle with YouTuber Milagro Gramz, who she filed a lawsuit against in October. She accuses the blogger of “churning out falsehoods” about the Tory Lanez shooting case. Megan and her attorneys later added the currently incarcerated Tory Lanez to the suit. Milagro filed a motion to dismiss in November, describing the suit as a scare tactic. Meanwhile, Megan released a new collaboration with TWICE, after the two worked on Thee Stallion’s latest album, Act II.
Once again, the tumultuous relationship between Offset and Cardi B continues to be put on public display. That’s remained the case even though the two rap phenoms have been separate since the beginning of August. However, this time it appears that it was done on their own accord. According to a repost from DJ Akademiks, some of his text messages were allegedly leaked by someone online. It’s possibly a fact also because he tweeted in response, “bruh what happened here.” As you would come to expect, the exchange is tense, messy, and nasty. The thread is started by Offset, who appears to be attempting to get a hold of Cardi B.
The chain begins with a “Yooo” at 5:14 a.m., with a follow-up at 5:29 a.m. that reads, “Keep my child.” This could be an allusion to Cardi’s third child that she gave birth to back in September. It’s worth noting that all of these messages were sent back on March 20. Additionally, this appears to be around the time that the FATHER OF 4 rapper was just finding out about their now newborn daughter. Still, Offset is without an answer, so he then proceeds to send a beefy paragraph in which he goes in on Cardi for once again accusing her of having this child with someone else.
“Why do you think you a lick for me like fr like me saying that was wrong that’s my baby like I sound desperate for what and who you????” He continues, “No before you continue getting f***ed might not be mine anyways cuz I ain’t f***ed you and you wasn’t preggo when I was around.” That was sent at 7:30 that same morning.
It wouldn’t be until 5:55 p.m. that Cardi B would hit back and hard. In her response, she accuses him of cheating and not owning up to it, all while revealing the person he was messing with. “Lol you don’t gotta answer the phone just wanted to show why I don’t f*** wit you. Everyone know about you and pree EVERYONE KNOWS,” she adamantly said. “That’s your girlfriend and on top of that you couldn’t stand up like a man for kulture and Shya and your mom robbed me cold.” There’s a lot to unpack and for both to address. It also shows just how long Cardi was planning on divorcing him. Finally, all of these texts were allegedly leaked on Offset’s birthday. Talk about ruining a special day.
We all know that Hip Hop is no stranger to the law, but 2024 has been quite the year for many of the genre’s most prominent artists being tied up in litigation, lawsuits, and arrests. Some court-connect drama stories are rollovers from previous years, yet others are brand-new allegations that have caught Hip Hop by storm. Although these accusations and the legal drama have shaken the culture, several of these charges don’t come as much of a surprise.
Artists like Diddy and Jay-Z have been at the forefront of rumors for decades, with their entertainment peers co-signing the gossip in interviews. Drake has targeted Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” by taking Univeral Music Group and Spotify to court. T.I. and his wife, Tameka “Tiny” Harris, reigned victorious over MGA Entertainment regarding their OMG Girlz-inspired dolls. Over the summer, the trial against the men accused of killing PnB Rock launched. In the Fall, Nelly couldn’t avoid his name being wrapped up in headlines after members of his former group, St. Lunatics, took him to court over unpaid royalties and copyright infringement. Additionally, we can’t forget when singer Sean Kingston and his mother were arrested after his Florida mansion was raided.
Yes, indeed, Hip Hop has been at the forefront of controversy this year, and we’ve dissected just a handful of the arrests, lawsuits, and allegations that stopped us in our tracks.
Diddy’s Ongoing Lawsuits Stunned Hip Hop
Sean “Diddy” Combs has been living the good life from the inception of his career way back in those Uptown Records days when he was helping shape some of our favorite R&B and Hip Hop stars. However, there have been whispers of double dealings, wild parties, and allegations of assault that have haunted his legacy. Fans seemed to have moved on from former Bad Boy rapper Shyne, serving nearly nine years in prison for a club shooting that a witness attributed to Combs. Still, when a video of Diddy’s ex-girlfriend Cassie being physically abused by the megaproducer surfaced online, along with her lawsuit against him, it became the beginning of his downfall.
In mid-September, Combs was arrested on charges of assault, alleged drugging partygoers for “freak-offs,” and using his influence to threaten artists’ careers. Former Danity Kane songbirds Dawn Richard and Aubrey O’Day have also come forward with allegations of their own. The latter has long accused Combs of wrongdoings, often finding herself being ridiculed in the media. Later, a raid on Combs’ home stirred controversy over bottles of lubricant, leading to more memes that further thrust this scandal into infamy. Puff’s legal team has done their best to get him out of jail as he awaits trial, but the Hip Hop icon was denied bail three times over and remains in Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center. Several other lawsuits have materialized in the wake of Combs’ initial charges from people who have claimed they were alleged victims of “freak-offs,” with more emerging as time moves forward.
Jay-Z Vehemently Denies Sexual Assault Allegation
As a Hip Hop G.O.A.T. and mogul unlike any other, it’s not surprising that Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter has been at the center of scandal throughout his career. When the lawsuits against Diddy unraveled one after another, Carter’s name was floating through the ether as the next in line. Then, shocking allegations tied to Diddy hit the internet after Jay was accused of assaulting a then-13-year-old, only known as Jane Doe, following an award show over 20 years ago. Both Diddy’s and Hov’s attorneys quickly denied the assertations, with Jay-Z issuing a lengthy public response bashing the allegations and case as a money grab.
According to court documents, Doe insists that after the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards, she approached several limousines to find someone who could get her inside. She claims a limo driver said she was “fit what Diddy was looking for” and was taken to an afterparty. The victim alleges she drank a beverage that made her incapacitated, then accused the two Hip Hop moguls of sexually assaulting her. When the suit was first filed last Fall, Combs was the only person named as an alleged perpetrator. Only recently was it shared that Carter was also listed. Later, Doe admitted that her story didn’t line up with the facts of that evening, but she stands by her story.
Jay-Z said in a statement targeting Doe’s attorney, Tony Buzbee, that it is a “terrible error in judgment thinking that all ‘celebrities’ are the same. I’m not from your world. I’m a young man who made it out of the project of Brooklyn. We don’t play these types of games.” He continued, “We have very strict codes and honor. We protect children, you seem to exploit people for personal gain.” He added, “Only your network of conspiracy theorists, fake physics, will believe the idiotic claims you have levied against me that, if not for the seriousness surrounding harm to kids, would be laughable.” Later, Jay reportedly asked the court not only to publicly identify Doe but also to expedite the court case in an effort to clear his name quickly.
Nicki Minaj Arrested In Amsterdam
While her husband has seen his fair share of legal woes, arrests, and prison stints, Nicki Minaj found herself in handcuffs over the summer. According to reports, the Pink Friday icon was in Amsterdam when she was taken into custody by Dutch police. Minaj was said to have been at the Schiphol Airport on her way to Manchester, United Kingdom, for a performance when she was allegedly nabbed with 30 to 100 grams of cannabis. The rapper would later state that they were “pre-rolls,” described in number as having “dozens,” belonging to one of her security guards. The femcee also seemed to accuse the police of racial profiling.
“Not being able to get to Manchester, I don’t know when was the last time I felt that low,” said Minaj. “And not only that, but just knowing that something is being done to you on purpose. You are a confident other race, you know? But I’m not going to get into it and tell you guys the joy they took in it, even while I was there.” Minaj continued, “You know what? There was one lady there – all the rest were men – and I could tell she had a heart. But the treatment was just disgusting. And I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.”
It was an accusation that officers quickly denied. In a statement to the BBC, a spokesperson stated, “We just do our job and it is protocol to search luggage and arrest a person when we find drugs. The arrest was around 17.30 and the release at 21.30. We stand for a professional organization that treats everybody equal, no matter what.”
The Drake & Kendrick Lamar Beef
One of the biggest, continuing Hip Hop stories in 2024 came courtesy of Kendrick Lamar and Drake. The two have had bubbling animosity for years, and finally, it materialized near the top of the year with a Rap beef unlike anything the genre has ever experienced. After trading diss tracks, fans weighed in on who triumphed in the war of bars. Lamar was hailed far and wide as the victor, although the OVO leader’s strong base of supporters disagreed.
Further, K.Dot’s “Not Like Us” became a cultural phenomenon from Compton to a worldwide audience. His Pop-Out concert in Los Angeles was streamed on Prime Video to staggering numbers as the track climbed to the top of the charts. Drake laid low throughout 2024, aside from trolling Lamar, stunting for the ‘Gram, and appearing on Livestreams. Then, Drizzy surprised us all when he sued UMG and Spotify for allegedly using streaming bots to inflate “Not Like Us,” manipulating the system against him. Universal denied the claims, stating that the fans choose what they want to hear.
“The suggestion that UMG would do anything to undermine any of its artists is offensive and untrue,” they said in a statement. “We employ the highest ethical practices in our marketing and promotional campaigns. No amount of contrived and absurd legal arguments in this pre-action submission can mask the fact that fans choose the music they want to hear.”
Meanwhile, Lamar is gearing up for what is expected to be another unforgettable performance—this time at the 2025 Super Bowl. The display will come months after Dot’s surprise album GNX, which has been the talk of Hip Hop circles since its release. In an interview with L.A.’s Big Boy’s Neighborhood, 50 Cent speculated that Drake delivered his lawsuit to prevent the NFL from allowing Lamar to perform “Not Like Us” at the halftime show.
Kanye West’s Lawsuit Over Donda Academy
No stranger to being on the receiving end of a lawsuit, Kanye West has had quite a ride in 2024. At least one point of litigation came to a close after The Los Angeles Times reported that a default judgment was handed down against the Hip Hop mogul concerning his controversial Christian private school, Donda Academy. The institution was at the center of scandal since its inception as the public—and professionals—questioned its validity and credibility. Soon, the school’s former assistant principal, Isaiah Meadows, sued West and others for “wrongful termination and unpaid wages.”
According to Meadows, he was released from his position after complaining about issues that impacted student’s and staff’s health and safety. These concerns included water entering buildings because of missing glass windows, allegedly “caging” students, exposed electrical wiring, and an electrical fire that erupted near a dining area. In December 2024, an L.A. judge officially entered a default judgment against West and his academy after Meadows requested so, citing that the defendants failed “to appear through licensed attorneys,” per L.A. Times.
After what has been named Georgia’s longest trial in the state’s history, Young Thug returned home after taking a plea deal in his highly covered court case. It was a cluster from the start—it felt as if, almost daily, there were new, explosive reports from prosecutors and defense attorneys. Young Thug, real name Jeffery Williams, was first arrested back in May 2022 as he faced charges of being involved in organized crime. Additionally, there were several other alleged offenses tied to witness suppression, murder, and theft. Thugger was denied bail and spent the entirety of the two-year trial in jail before taking a plea deal in October 2024.
As a part of the deal, Williams was sentenced to 40 years—including 15 years of probation and 5 years in prison, which was commuted to time served. If he violated his probation, he would be sent to prison for 20 years. Further, he was prohibited from returning to his hometown of Atlanta for 10 years. Thugger was also reportedly banned from releasing any gang-related music or lyrics, had to complete 100 hours of community service, and couldn’t flash any gang-affiliated signs. Moreover, he couldn’t have any firearms on or around his person and was barred from having contact with most of his co-defendants outside of his brother and rapper Gunna, who took an Alford Plea early on.
However, a judge later altered the stipulations of Thug’s plea. According to Fox 5 Atlanta, the judge stated, “As long as there are no violations within the rapper’s first three years of probation, he can visit his Atlanta home for up to two weeks at a time.” The amendment came as good news to Thugger and his longtime girlfriend, Mariah The Scientist.
Lil Durk Arrested For Murder-For-Hire Plot
Chicago Drill rapper Lil Durk was trying his best to show the world that he turned his life around. He launched a foundation to help his community, met with political leaders to impact change, and even stated that he sought a new religious path and put his past life of violence behind him. Still, that didn’t keep Durkio out of legal trouble after his arrest months ago. Fans were shocked to hear that the rapper was accused of being involved in a murder-for-hire plot that could land him in prison for the remainder of his life.
Lil Durk, real name Durk Banks, was taken into custody along with five of his alleged Only The Family co-conspirators just a few days before Halloween 2024. In 2020, Durk’s good friend and collaborator, King Von, was killed in Georgia. Savannah rapper Quando Rondo was at the scene, and it was alleged that his friend, Lul Tim, was responsible for Von’s death. In 2022, Rondo’s cousin, Lul Pab, was also murdered in L.A., with investigators believing it was connected to Von’s slaying. Forbes reports that the Department of Justice has also charged Durk with conspiracy as well as “using, carrying, and discharging firearms.” The federal case is reportedly mounting against The Voice rapper, which authorities claim includes airline tickets to other countries, witnesses, credit card connections, and a hit on Quando Rondo’s life. Moreover, Durk was tacked with another murder-for-hire charge days ago. The cases are ongoing.
NBA YoungBoy Strikes A Plea Deal
It seems as if YoungBoy Never Broke Again is always in the crosshairs of the legal system. After dodging a federal case against him, NBA YoungBoy, real name Kentrell Gaulden, pleaded guilty “to a single count of possession of firearms by a convicted felon,” per Billboard. At 25 years old, YoungBoy has amassed success that his peers could only imagine at such a young age. Yet, the Louisiana star has been riddled with legal issues from the onset of his fame, and now it’s culminated in a reported 23-month sentence in federal prison after striking his deal. Moreover, following his sentence, YoungBoy will endure 60 months of probation.
Remy Ma and Papoose are at the center of Internet gossip this week thanks to some nasty back-and-forth cheating allegations. The couple’s most recent troubles first started when Remy accused Pap of cheating on her with boxer Claressa Shields, and then he clapped back with previous rumors that she cheated on him with battle rapper Eazy The Block Captain. Someone’s not telling the whole truth here, or at the very least, they are both calling each other out for their own behavior. But Wack 100 doesn’t seem to think so, as he accused the Brooklyn femcee of trying to ruin her former partner’s career by taking revenge for him moving on and throwing cheating allegations his way.
“If Papoose get off on Remy…” Wack 100’s comments about Remy Ma and Papoose began during a livestream. “Papoose is a squabbler and he knows how to box. This is a fact. Bro know how to get at it, right? […] Bro, if this is the case, right? Why, when you start f***ing Eazy The Block Captain, and he found out, why, at that time, you say, ‘Well, n***a, you’ve been whooping my a** and abusing me anyway. I’m out’?
“It wasn’t until she seen Papoose finally moved on, now – and I know why she’s doing it,” Wack 100 continued. “Bro got the job at HOT 97 and he got a job a TuneCore. She knows what those types of allegations will bring. It’s some punk s**t because he knew [what] the discredit on your name would’ve brought to your businesses… but he didn’t. […] That’s the type of s**t that’ll make a man break down and cry. He moved on with whoever the boxing lady is. What’s her name? […] He moved on.
“Now, she know Pap at radio, she know Pap at TuneCore, damn near the president if he not that, right?” Wack 100 concluded concerning the drama between Remy Ma and Papoose. “‘Papoose beat me!’ We know what you trying to do. She’s trying to f**k his money up. The president of TuneCore is not broke!” We’ll see what else this story yields…
Earlier this week, things got messy between Remy Ma and Papoose when she hopped online to expose his alleged affair. She shared a series of alleged text messages between him and professional boxer Claressa Shields, slamming him for allegedly being unfaithful. He wasted no time before firing back, however, and hit her with some accusations of his own. He brought up her long-rumored relationship with Eazy The Block Captain, accusing her of being both a cheater and a “narcissist.”
Eventually, Shields got involved, dissing Remy on X and accusing her of having multiple boyfriends. “Misery loves company baby…. Smh. I’m just so happy over here… I can’t believe a 45 year old woman is crashing out like this [clown] behavior,” she wrote among various other insults. She even went on to challenge Remy to a boxing match. “Claressa Shields vs @RealRemyMa Feb 2nd! Come get yo a** whooped crash out!!” she tweeted.
Now, Shields has taken to X once again, this time flaunting her fighting skills in an intense video with her trainer. “Btc couldn’t take me, even If I tied one hand behind my back call me ‘Danger’! #Claressashields #GWOAT,” she captioned the post. Of course, social media users were quick to speculate that this was directed at Remy, though this is unconfirmed. Shields’ latest video arrives shortly after Eazy The Block Captain sat down with The Boul and accused Papoose of having known about the alleged affair for years.
“That n**ga knew already!” he alleged. “I know he up there trying to play victim and all of that sh*t but they knew, he knew two years ago. I ain’t going to lie… he did knew. And I’m going to tell you all how he knew… The n**ga you all think is so thorough, he put a recording device in Remy’s car, so how he knew is, bugging her f**king car. So that how he knew. That n**ga’s a f**king weirdo.”
DDG is all sorts of enraged today following a recent collaboration with streamer, plaqueboymax. The rapper and fellow content creator was on his platform, and he participated in a segment similar to“Hot Ones” called “Dry Ones.” It’s also a Q&A and if you decide to not answer the question posed to you, the person has to eat a Popeyes biscuit. At around the 21-minute mark of the YouTube clip below it becomes plaqueboymax’s turn to ask DDG a singeing question. After some deliberating, he decides to ask him who his favorite ex was that he actually dated. Immediately, the Michigan native was already imagining the “TikTok clip” coming.
But he played along anyway and said that it was someone whose name “starts with a K.” He had said that it’s been about five years since they last spoke. However, he did admit that they “had a good run.” DDG, being in the public eye for a while, read the situation perfectly, because The Shade Room clipped his answer and reshared it on social media. But this has since led to a lot of angry reactions from fans who saw the full stream, and DDG himself.
What the clip from the outlet doesn’t show that the YouTube one does is what he says prior to his answer. “‘Cause we ain’t talkin’ about family.” Plaqueboymax then wanted to clarify, “So favorite ex besides… you know.” Of course, they are referring to one Halle Bailey, whom DDG split up from earlier this year. Many fans pointed out this fact in the comments section of The Shade Room‘s repost. “The SHADEroom purposely cut out the besides Halle part. Yal really are a BIG part of the problem ” one user writes.
“Shade room intentionally left off the Halle part bro they really be working overtime to promote drama ” another adds. DDG also went off on the media outlet for doing so. “HALLE IS NOT MY EX, SHE IS MY FAMILY, I EXCLUDED HER. I DONT GIVE A 2 F*CKS ABOUT THAT OTHER WOMAN, IM JUST PLAYING THE GAME. THIS IS OUT OF CONTEXT!” Based on the all-caps writing and language used, you can tell he’s visibly upset with how this was handled. In hindsight, he might have been better off just eating another biscuit and calling it a day. On the other hand, he did want to play along and provide content for plaqueboymax, so he was really in a sticky situation from the jump.
