Nipsey Hussle’s Death Anniversary Sparks Heartfelt Lauren London Tribute: “Energy Never Dies”

by

Lauren London’s life was radically changed forever on this day (March 31), five years ago. Hip-hop heads know all too well that the start of spring is followed by the sadness of Nipsey Hussle’s untimely death, though his powerful legacy lives on far beyond his time on Earth. This is largely thanks to London, who shares heartfelt tributes to him on social media regularly, reminding us how impactful her partner’s energy was on the countless lives he touched.

On Sunday morning, the 39-year-old posted a handsome photo of Kross’ father. He poses with a stark white Puma tracksuit and an abundance of chains around his next. “If you know me, you know March is always tough for me,” London’s emotional post says. “31 days of holding my breath. This day decided to fall on Easter Sunday this 2024, interesting… Considering your name #GodWillRise,” the mother of two added. “Energy never dies… I love you. Eternal Eternal.
💙🏁,” she concluded her annual memorium.

In the comments, several fans are sharing stories of their interactions with Hussle that are surely putting a smile on London’s face. “My husband was so excited as he had been a long-time fan. He was so kind, he waited for my husband to go back to the car to get his phone so that I could take a picture of them. I’m not going to lie, I was star-struck, but I told him that I loved you Lauren and that made him 😊,” one Instagram user recalled a chance meeting in St. Louis. “My husband took his passing very hard but tried to stand for the same things Nip stood for… community. Unfortunately, my husband was gunned down on Slauson last summer as well. I pray that their spirits are at 🕊💙.”

Losing her life partner has been hard on Lauren London, not only as a lover but also as a mother. Thankfully, in late 2023 it was confirmed that the black-haired beauty will receive half of Nipsey Hussle’s $11M assets on behalf of their son, Kross. Read all about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Nicki Minaj’s Fake Nails & Tour Earn Beyonce’s Approval, Trolls Tease Onika About Rihanna & Cardi B

by

Nicki Minaj fell back, had a baby, did the mother thing, did the wife thing, all that… But now, she’s back in action like we’ve never seen her before, moving with complete confidence on her Pink Friday 2 Tour. Things began this past winter in Oakland, and since then, we’ve also seen the Queen of Rap tear up the Rolling Loud stage with her latest hits and old classics. Minaj has been working so hard that she’s even got the attention of Beyonce, who penned a sweet letter to her “Feeling Myself” collaborator praising her recent efforts.

“Onika, I just received your nail collection and I love them,” the mother of three beautifully wrote. “Thank you so much for thinking of me and congratulations on your launch and on tour. Blessings. Love, Beyonce,” her card concluded. When sharing it on her Instagram Story, Minaj was clearly proud. “Barbz, #PinkFridayNails are Queen approved. Thank you, @beyonce. Love you 💗.” As with most things Papa Bear’s mom shares online, this is under public scrutiny for several reasons.

“Heavy on the ‘congrats on your nails and tour,’ cause y’all was trying to play with Nicki like she’s not loved and supported in real life,” one Instagram user wrote under @theneighborhoodtalk’s post. “Now y’all can put the made-up beef to rest,” another chimed in. Elsewhere, some chose to lash out at the Queen of Rap, using her moment of celebration as a time to attack. “Cardi is out with Rihanna, BYE Nick,” they said after the New Yorker and Barbadian turned up at Jason Lee’s Hollywood Bash this week.

Social Media Reacts

Ultimately, no matter how much speculating we do, no one really knows how Nicki Minaj feels about her “Fly” collaborator spending time with one of her biggest opps. What we are confident in, however, is Bey’s love for Onika, no matter what haters have to say.

Megan Thee Stallion Claims She Has The Best T*ts & A** On Instagram In Latest Thirst Trap

by

Megan Thee Stallion has been having one heck of a year in 2024. For those keeping their finger on the pulse, the Texas rapper has put out one of the biggest singles in rap. “HISS” was the talk of the town for about a month or so. She went for the jugular, sending ruthless shots at Nicki Minaj, Drake, Tory Lanez, and more. Many sided with her track against Nicki’s “Big Foot,” so she is already up on that front. Of course, Megan Thee Stallion is always winning on Instagram too, and that rings true again with her latest thirst trap.

It seems every week the “Cobra” rapper is serving her body for all those willing to see. For example, she was pleasing her fans on the platform every day for about a week with anime cosplays during her Japan trip. Additionally, people were hyperventilating over her Hot Girl Summer Tour posters and promos. Now, Megan Thee Stallion has done it once more on Instagram with thirst traps that make a serious claim.

In the new photo dump, Meg is sporting a matching lounge-like set with a short sleeve white tee and shorts. The shirt makes the claim that she has the best t*ts on Instagram. As for the skin-tight shorts, they declare the same, instead it is for her rear end. Megan did two posts with the first asking her fans what they will be wearing to her shows. The first outfit is the one we described. Another option is a matching set as well, although this one is a denim look. Additionally, the femcee shows off her curves in a black and pink dress. Finally, Megan opts for a Western look with a fake denim shirt and skirt, along with a white cowboy hat.

What are your thoughts on these latest photos from Megan Thee Stallion on Instagram? Is Megan back at the top of the female rap game right now, why or why not? How soon do you think it will be before she drops her next album? Are “Cobra” and “HISS” still in your rotation? Which one do you like more out of the two?

Ashanti & Nelly’s Relationship Continues To Thrive On & Off Social Media

by

Spring has officially sprung, and as per usual, the warmer weather is shaking things up in the world of love and romance. After being boo’d up for the winter, people are starting to shake off their extra layers and co-dependent relationships in favour of fun with friends and soaking up the sunshine. Nelly and Ashanti have had plenty of wild summers – together and apart – over the past two decades. However, 2024 is going to be different than any other. Though they haven’t given the official word to fans just yet, the former Murder Inc. songstress is allegedly expecting her first child with her beau.

The 49-year-old is already a father of two kids of his own, plus the two he adopted after his stepsister Jacqueline Donahue tragically died from leukemia in 2005. Even before gossip about the pregnancy began to spread, Nelly was constantly going viral for the massive grin on his face while in Ashanti’s presence. Now that they’re working on building a family together, he looks more in love than ever before.

On Wednesday (March 20), Ashanti’s Instagram lit up with a new photo dump revealing how she and her man spent Super Bowl Sunday and Valentine’s Day. It begins with a clip of the East Coast icon grinning wide while Nelly plants sweet kisses all over her cheek before they both burst into song. Rather than showing off any signs of a baby bump, Ashanti kept the focus on her vibrant, red outfit and signature giant hoop earrings.

When Ashanti pregnancy rumours first began swirling, her longtime fans were overjoyed for the “Foolish” hitmaker. However, now that her mother has declared the news as “public,” but not “announced,” it’s beginning to feel like an elephant in the room. Read what Tina Douglas had to say about the situation at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Love Sean Combs & Daddy Diddy Hit The Baby Gym In Sweet Playdate Video: Watch

by

Just because many prominent figures in the entertainment industry have turned their back on Diddy doesn’t mean he’s ready to retreat and admit defeat. Now that his work schedule is decidedly less booked and busy the New York native has been pouring time and energy into his family and supporting friends who’ve stuck by his side through this troubling time. One of the biggest blessings Diddy still has to smile about every day is his youngest, baby Love Sean Combs.

The little girl’s arrival came as a surprise to the world at the peak of the Bad Boy mogul’s fling with Yung Miami. Love’s mom is Dana Tran, a cyber security specialist who continues to keep her personal life mostly out of the spotlight since introducing her daughter to the world. While she and Diddy don’t seem to be romantic partners, he is an incredibly active co-parent and loves to show the young girl’s growth and adventures on social media. Earlier this month, her personal account lit up with a heartwarming video from a playdate at the baby gym with her daddy.

As for his elder children, Diddy’s been spending time bonding with them too. While attending Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign’s VULTURES event at Rolling Loud, the “I’ll Be Missing You” artist posed for photos with his twins and their sister. The girls were looking fly to watch Nicki Minaj give her headlining performance, which even included “Starships.” Read all about that at the link below, and check back later for more music/pop culture news updates.

Bryson Tiller Reveals Self-Titled Album With Futuristic AI-Inspired Trailer

by

Bryson Tiller is one of the most treasured R&B artists of the 2010s decade. His debut project T R A P S O U L is an essential record in that era of the genre. The Louisville, Kentucky product put his all into the production and songwriting. It paid off because it is still being bumped heavily nearly 10 years later. After 2017’s True to Self and 2020’s A N N I V E S A R Y, he went pretty quiet though. But, over the past couple of months, he has been feeding fans on Soundcloud with “Tiller Tuesdays.” For the majority of the year he has been dropping singles and EPs and the audience has been gobbling it up. Finally, they are being rewarded with a full album from Bryson Tiller as he just announced in a trailer.

The “Don’t” hitmaker posted a wild set of visuals on his Instagram just hours ago. It incorporates the use of AI and robots, as Bryson Tiller is building a more enhanced version of himself in lab. He is fully committing to the bit by adding “Dr. Tiller” to his bio. In the caption, he explains how he has been slowly building up to this moment. “⚠ Here’s what I’ve been building for the past 3 years. Looking forward to showing the world what he’s capable of.”

After the incredibly creative trailer, Bryson reveals that the name of the LP and its release date. It will be a self-titled offering out on April 5. What is also worth noting is that Charlie Heat will be an executive producer, so you know the beats will be heat (pun intended). So far, we have one single for the album which is “Whatever She Wants” which has been a smashing success. But, Tiller wants to show that he has a little more to give out before the album drops. A new single, “Calypso,” is out now as well.

What are your thoughts on this album trailer for Bryson Tiller’s self-titled project? Is this going to be his best tape to date, why or why not?

Aubrey O’Day Roasted As She Clenches A Glass In Between Her Butt Cheeks For St. Patrick’s Day

by

Aubrey O’Day is someone who has been known to do some controversial things from time to time. Overall, who doesn’t? In this day and age, very little is considered not to be controversial in at least some capacity. However, there is no doubt that O’Day doesn’t mind stirring the pot from time to time. There are a lot of ways to do this, and someone’s social media output is definitely one of those ways. Not to mention, when you add a certain Holiday or celebration into the mix, the possibilities to get a reaction are truly endless.

Yesterday was St. Patrick’s Day. For those who may not know, it is a celebration that is meant to honor Irish pride. Overall, it is also a day where people do a whole lot of drinking. When it comes to O’Day, she decided to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with some unique antics on social media. In the video clip down below, you can see that she took a glass with a four-leaf clover on it, and put it between her butt cheeks. She subsequently twerks with the glass in there, and some people come over and pour alcohol into it. Needless to say, she appeared to be having a pretty great time.

Unfortunately, for O’Day, not everyone was feeling these actions. In the comments section over at Hollywood Unlocked, the artist was getting clowned for the stunt. “She’s gonna be on the new season of Baddies, I guess she gotta make herself relevant,” one person wrote. “I think it’s okay to dance have fun twerk, but up close like this is no. This is too personal,” said another.

Let us know what you thought of these antics, in the comments section down below. Was she doing too much here, or is it passable?

Lil Yachty Hilariously Previews New Track On IG To Some Lukewarm Reactions

by

With music, everyone knows it is a subjective art form. People are going to have differing opinions on artists and that is what makes it such an interesting thing to discuss. For example, not everyone is going to think that Lil Yachty has been evolving as an artist. At the end of the day that is okay. The reason we bring this up is because the Georgia multi-talent has recently previewed a new track on Instagram. Lil Yachty appears to be interpolating the 1997 R&B record “Swing My Way” by K.P. and Envyi.

This teaser has been collecting some iffy reactions from fans in DJ Akademiks comment section. One person writes, “His longevity of mid needs to be studied.” Another even says Lil Yachty is trying to copy Veeze’s style, “ngl dis a waste of this beat n sample n****s think they can sound lazy on every beat like they veeze.” However, as expected fans in Lil Boat’s post about “Swing My Way” were more favorable.

He asked fans, “swing my way.. should I drop this?¿” They reacted with glee, saying things like, Since Poland bro been allergic to missing 😭🙏🏽” One person loves it, but encourages him to wait for the seasons to change. “Summer anthem potential fr fr u should sit on it until it’s a little warmer out.” With the hotter months right around the corner, this could be a smart move. Only time will tell, but this could be another feather in Boat’s cap.

What are your thoughts on Lil Yachty’s upcoming new track “Swing My Way?” Is this another hit for him, or a snoozer? Can you think of anyone who is on a better run right now? When do you think he should drop this and why? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

“Vultures 2” Tracks Appear On TikTok & Instagram As Fans Await Kanye West & Ty Dolla Sign’s Album

by

When Kanye West delivers an album release date at this point in his career, few hip-hop heads are inclined to believe it. The father of four is notorious for hitting fans with delays, some of them even spanning months. We saw it with the original Vultures LP, which was set to arrive in late 2023 but didn’t actually debut until February 10. The follow-up to that controversial project is expected to land this month, but as HipHopDX reports, there’s some confusion about whether that will really happen.

Ye has already made it clear that Vultures 2 won’t be available on streaming. Instead, he and his collaborators plan to sell the album online for $20 a piece – double the usual price. As we curiously wait to see if we’ll be able to purchase Ty Dolla and West’s work this New Music Friday (March 15), fans have noticed several titles from the tracklist appearing on platforms like Instagram and TikTok.

Will Vultures 2 Be Dropping Tonight?

“River,” which features Young Thug and singer Leon Bridges has made it onto various apps, along with Future’s appearance on “Promotion.” Elsewhere, versions of “Slide” with James Blake and the rumoured Playboi Carti collab, “Field Trip,” which also includes Kodak Black, Lil Durk, and Don Toliver. According to @YeFanatics on Twitter/X, insiders are now saying these are “ripped audio” recordings, and could lead to delays in the official release of Vultures.

His work on Vultures 2 is certainly taking up a lot of Kanye West’s time right now, but he’s still making sure to put his family first. Earlier this week, the Yeezy founder and his firstborn, North, confirmed that her debut album is on the way, and it takes inspiration from one of her father’s classic releases. Read all about that at the link below, and let us know if you think Ye and Ty Dolla Sign will be dropping this weekend in the comments.

Chris Brown Implores Fans To Recognize His Greatness In New Rant: “Don’t Wait Till I’m Gone To Realize That!”

by

Chris Brown is not one to hold back how he feels and he has certainly proved that over the past couple of days. About two days ago, the longtime, controversial, R&B superstar sent out a flurry of comments directed toward the mainstream media and “fake celebrities.” This latest fiery Chris Brown rant went down on his Instagram story and many were speculating who he was taking aim at directly. “I DONT WANT TO BE ACCEPTED FROM NONE OF THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA AND FAKE CELEBRITIES. I AM KING IN MY OWN LANE,” Brown said.

“YOUR FAVE AINT GOT S*** ON ME AND THEY KNOW IT. AINT FINNA TAP DANCE FOR APPROVAL. YOU WILL BEG FORGIVENESS OF ME THAT I DO KNOW.” Some were thinking this has a lot to do with the NBA and the complications with All-Star Weekend. Quavo’s name was also brought up after their awkward encounter at Paris Fashion Week. After going scorched earth, you might think Chris Brown is done with the rants, but he is far from it.

DJ Akademiks recently shared another screenshot from Breezy’s IG. This message is much shorter, but definitely really tries to hammer home his previous point. “There will never be another CHRIS BROWN! Don’t wait till I’m gone to realize that!” Some fans shared his opinion, but others, not so much. “Bro hasnt snapped since look at me now and hasnt went on a run like his kiss kiss wall to wall run ever bro needs to put down the nose sugar,” one fan writes back.

What are your thoughts on Chris Brown continuing his rant saying there will not be another him? Do you agree with his take, why or why or not? What separates him from other artists in his space?
