He’s come a long way from fighting a federal case and NBA YoungBoy is enjoying the good life. The Lousiana hitmaker is preparing the release of his first 2023 effort, and he’s doing so with his fans by his side.

YoungBoy recently shared that tomorrow (January 6), he’ll drop his album I Rest My Case. It looks as if he’s been working on visuals for the record because, according to reports, he invited several of his fans to his home to shoot a music video.

D.L. Hughley Says Media Let Dana White Off Easy After He Slapped Wife

by

The UFC president apologized, but D.L. Hughley doesn’t think that’s enough for Dana White. We previously reported on White’s controversy after he was filmed in a nightclub with his wife. The two were in the throw of an argument when she slapped White, and he, in turn, hit her back. After going viral, White and his wife emerged with an apology, but Hughley believes the media would have treated the situation differently had this been a Black man.

“’What can BROWN do for you?’ Apparently not a damn thing!” Hughley wrote. His play on the word “brown” was a nod to White’s last name as well as Chris Brown, Bobby Brown, and Antonio Brown. All three men have been tied to domestic violence scandals. “If that had been a brotha, it’d be NONSTOP coverage.”

Hughley added that the media would be “dredging up a playground fight from the 3rd grade, scouring old tweets, you name it.”

“Dana White ‘s ENTIRE LIFE is immersed in brutal , physical violence,” the comedy legend continued. “He’s amassed a fortune from it. Where are the salacious headlines?? Where’s the pressure?? Ohhhhh, he apologized🙄 #WhitePrivilege (PUN INTENDED) scores a 1st round knockout yet again.”

In Hughley’s comment section, several of his famous peers co-signed the message.

Jamie Foxx wrote “F*cking preach!!!!,” while Willie D from the Geto Boys added, “Absolutely.”

Meanwhile, White said he was “embarrassed” by the altercation with his wife.

“My wife and I have been married for almost 30 years.” He added, “We’ve known each other since we were 12 years old. We’ve obviously been through some sh*t together, we’ve got three kids.”

“It’s never happened before. It’s the first time it’s ever happened.”

GloRilla & Her Team Under Fire For Alleged Shady Business Deals

by

GloRilla was undeniably one of the hottest breakthrough stars of the year in 2022. This is thanks to a couple of viral hits, including “F.N.F. (Let’s Go)” and “Tomorrow 2” with Cardi B.

These songs, along with her charisma and commanding presence on the mic, have helped to turn her into one of the most promising acts in the game.

However, some business owners are calling out the Memphis native and members of her team for allegedly scamming their brands. A video report about the allegations is now on The Shade Room‘s Instagram account.

Specifically, the owner of a small hair and body care business, Kimberley Renfroe, says she paid $1,000 to a man claiming to be GloRilla’s manager. The payment was supposed to be for an endorsement deal in which the 23-year-old rapper would promote some of her business’ products. Once the man received the payment, he subsequently asked for more cash and then ultimately ghosted Renfroe.

A choreographer claims she had a similar experience. She says the Memphis native and her team are responsible for reaching out to her for a five-hour dance lesson for $1,500. Once the class allegedly happened, she says she never got her money.

However, the “Blessed” rapper claims that these are cases of scammers pretending to be members of her team.

“I was made aware that an individual has been impersonating members of my team and deceiving people for money as part of a scam. I’m looking into the issue, but I’d like to encourage all my fans and supporters to be very careful with how they communicate with online strangers. It’s important to do research and take the appropriate steps to prevent yourselves from being victimized by cybercriminals posing as celebrity teams,” she says in a statement to FOX13 Memphis.

Of course, this story arrives shortly after the Memphis native made headlines for seeking a personal assistant. She was offering $550 per week for the position.

In other news surrounding the 23-year-old, an old video of her recently began surfacing online. In the footage before the fame, she confesses her love for Chief Keef. A picture of the “Love Sosa” rapper appears in the background while the Memphis native lip-syncs to pre-recorded audio.

“This is your man? the audio asks. “Yeah,” she promptly pretends to reply. After the audio states to “look at the screen,” she does so with admiration and says, “That’s mine.”

What are your thoughts on the situation? Comment down below. Finally, make sure to check out GloRilla’s interview with HNHH here.

Shy Glizzy Affiliate Ant Glizzy Claims They Spiked Women’s Drinks For 15 Years

by

Shy Glizzy’s affiliate Ant Glizzy isn’t denying the claims made by OnlyFans creator Sky Bri during her No Jumper interview.

During Bri’s latest appearance on No Jumper, she accused Shy Glizzy of sexual misconduct. Though she said she never had any bad experiences in the past, the “White Girl” video shoot opened her eyes. She said he forced her to take an unknown pill after saying no several times. Then, she accused him of trying to force her to perform fellatio on him.

At this point, Shy Glizzy hasn’t publicly responded to these claims. However, it seems that another member of Glizzy Gang has.

Ant Glizzy said he believed Bri’s account of the “White Girl” video shoot. He admitted Shy Glizzy’s notoriously known for spiking women’s drinks in the hope that they’ll have sex with these women. He even alleged in detail that the “Awesome” rapper taught him how to slip molly into drinks.

“I been told y’all Shy spiked them bottles,” Ant said on Instagram Live. “The fuck? I know he spiked them bottles. On GQ, I spiked a couple bottles with ’em.”

From there, Ant outed Shy Glizzy for adding molly to bottles of Patron before offering it to other women.

“Any girl that ever been around Shy Glizzy, once you super duper drunk and shit — now just think about it,” Ant continued. “It’s a #MeToo movement. He been doing this shit for ten years, I swear to God.”

“I been told y’all these stories. I told y’all he spikes them,” he continued. “He been doing this shit for 15 years on GQ. Like, any girl that ever drunk with the Glizzy Gang at a club or at a table, you was extra drunk. All you gotta do is ask him.”

On the topic of Sky Bri’s allegations, Ant Glizzy said that he believes her, solely on his own experiences with Shy Glizzy.

SZA Shows Off Her Booty As “S.O.S” Holds Onto #1 Spot For Three Weeks Straight

by

SZA finally arrived with her second studio album, S.O.S in December. The singer didn’t disappoint, which clearly reflected on the charts. SZA’s new album currently holds the #1 spot for the third week in a row, bearing out plenty of holiday releases.

Shortly after selling 128,000 in her third week, SZA blessed the ‘Gram with new heat in the form of a thirst trap. The singer shared a short video of herself wearing a bikini bottom as she showed off her booty. From the looks of it, SZA is either on the set of a photo or video shoot so perhaps, we’ll catch this particular look in some new visuals.

“3 weeks at number one fully minding my business n not giving a fuck . Thank God,” she captioned the photo dump, including the thirst trap.

Of course, the picture had everyone talking, especially after she addressed plastic surgery rumors on her new album. As many speculated whether she went under the knife, she appeared to confirm the gossip.

“Talkin’ I’m off the bench like Brady, I’m pressin’ n***** like KD, it’s up,” she sings on the titular song. “Remind you of Dеlla Reese. So classic, that ass so fat, it look natural, it’s not”.

She also addressed the matter again on “Conceited” where she shrugged off everyone’s opinion about her body.

“I don’t like nobody, I don’t feel guilty about it/ I just got my body done, ain’t got no guilt about it/ I just heard your opinion, I could’ve did without it,” she sings.

2023 is evidently off to a great start for SZA but it will certainly only get better from here. The singer is set to launch the North American leg of her upcoming tour in February, beginning in Colombus, OH. From there, she’ll hit cities like Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, Vancouver, and Toronto. Then, she’ll be closing things out in L.A. on March 22nd.

Lil GotIt Says Young Thug Hasn’t Talked To Anyone Except His Lawyers

by

While Young Thug prepares to face trial in the forthcoming YSL RICO case, several people are trying to speak on his behalf. Following his arrest in May, he’s remained behind bars with very little communication outside of his lawyers. Atleast, that’s what Lil GotIt says following statements from numerous individuals who claim they’ve talked to Thug about the prosecution’s plea deal offerings.

We’ve witnessed several individuals associated with YSL cop plea deals recently, from Gunna to YSL co-founder, Walter Murphy. Young Thug’s blood brother, Unfoonk, also accepted a deal from prosecutors. Throughout this time, many have wondered where Young Thug stands on the matter.

People such as Wack 100 claim Young Thug wasn’t informed about the deals. However, an associate of BSlime claimed Young Thug wasn’t aware that any of his co-defendants copped a deal.

Lil GotIt later addressed the matter online, declaring that Young Thug hasn’t talked to anyone except his lawyers recently.

“Ain’t no one talked to damn Slime, bruh,” he said. “Everybody just stop doing that, bruh. Man, fighting for his god damn life.”

“Ain’t nobody talk to slime,” he wrote on his Instagram Story. “Ya’ll tryna get back in the loop and s*** relaxxxxx this ain’t that keep pushin. God got lil Jeff ya’ll doin too much on this app mane.”

Afterward, he shared another post on his Instagram, which read, “Once again Jeffrey is not communicating with anyone but his LAWYERS. We live in a media world. Everybody wants fame off this situation.”

The jury selection process starts today (Jan. 3rd) in Young Thug’s trial. Last week, YSL’s Tick copped a plea deal where he agreed to testify against Young Thug if called to the stand. Testimonies from those who copped deals will likely help the prosecutors secure a conviction in the case.

We’ll keep you posted on any more updates surrounding Young Thug’s trial.

Another tweeted, “Kai Cenat was not ready for A Boogie And Ella Bands Baby Mama drama during his party.” No word on what sparked the argument between the “Drowning” rapper and girlfriend. However, this isn’t the first time Cenat has been caught up in a hip hop couple’s spat. 

Back in November, his Twitch livestream with Blueface and Chrisean Rock became an instant viral moment. At one point in the interview, Chrisean picked up a folding chair and threw it at Cenat’s wall, leaving a large hole. Elsewhere in the episode, the tumultuous couple forcibly remove Kai from his chair so that the “Thotiana” rapper can sit in it. 

Aside from the the couple chaos, Cenat’s year was full of wins. In October 2022, he became the most subscribed Twitch streamer at the time. That same month, he fulfilled another dream by purchasing his mom a brand home. “I officially accomplished the ONE goal I’ve always dreamed of as a kid,” he tweeted. “Moving my family out of the hood. Now I’m here closing on my Mom’s first house OF MANY at the age of 20. BLESSINGS.”

The 21-year old star is also in talks to have his very own Fortnite Tournament. See more reactions to Kai Cenat’s viral reaction below.
