Foolio’s Instagram Posts Promo Video Amidst Hacking Confusion

by

Foolio’s memory has not seen rest yet. The rapper’s tragic death has been overshadowed by a series of disses and bizarre incidents on social media. The former has come about due to Foolio’s beef with Yungeen Ace. The latter, however, is still a mystery that’s unfolding. Foolio’s Instagram account was hacked on June 28. This lead to a series of posts and comments that had hip-hop fans scratching their head.

On Friday night, the rapper seemingly urged fans to follow his profile. He did so in a video that was posted directly to the Foolio Instagram. “Aye, this Foolio man,” the rapper says into the camera. “Go follow my people… I’mma put their app below… go follow [them] right now.” The caption under the video reads: “No fuel, no deal. Everything guaranteed.” It’s unnerving to watch, however, knowing the rapper himself is not behind the upload. The hacker had already struck earlier in the evening. Earlier, Foolio seemingly commented on Yungeen Ace’s diss song “Game Over.” The hacker left a trash emoji in the comment section, which prompted Ace to respond.

All this is going on while the search for Foolio’s killers persists. Jacksonville Sheriff T.K. Waters issued a statement on who the police are looking to Newsweek. He was careful not to reveal too much, though. “These groups – I won’t name them, they know who they are,” he explained. “We’re not going to tolerate any retribution, any revenge… we’re going to watch. We’re going to pay attention to what’s going on.” The Jacksonville police have not announced any suspects. Consequently, no arrests have been made.

Ryan Garcia has seemingly had his social media accounts hacked by individuals claiming to have murdered the boxer. “MARCH 3 SUNDAY 2024 we slit RG THROAT AND THRU HIM IN A BASKET NOBODY WILL FIND HIM BSABJANANANANANAJQKA ANAIQNANSBSNANABA A SNSNSNWKWNA S ANANSNSN SATAN SITTING AT THE TOP NOW. 666,” the post on Garcia’s X account read.

This is why you don’t mess with us at the top B-TCH ASS B-TCH SUNDAY MARCH 3 2024,” read the post on Instagram.

Fans reacted in shock to the bizarre messages, with many seeming to believe that it was real. At this time, Garcia has not released a statement. However, this is understandable as he has been locked out of his two primary social media accounts. This remains a developing story. Hacking a celebrity’s social media to perpetuate a death hoax is a surprisingly common tactic by trolls and hackers. However, we will have any updates as and when they emerge about the situation.

Ryan Garcia Calls Devin Haney Fight “Personal”

Elsewhere, Garcia has sounded off about Devin Haney as their upcoming boxing match approaches. “To me, it is personal in a way,” Garcia said, “I don’t know, something’s just in me. I don’t even feel like answering these questions bro, I’m sorry,” Garcia told TMZ this week. However, Garcia did answer a few more questions from the outlet, further sounding off about his April opponent. “I don’t give a f-ck about his boxing skills. I’mma beat his a–, that’s it! I’m not a boxing analyst. Forget that dude! He’s gonna get it, 4/20, that’s it!” Garcia added.

Even though there are nearly two months before their fight, tensions are high between the two men. Garcia and Haney had been separated at Super Bowl LVIII in February after getting into a brief altercation. Additionally, the pair traded words when they jointly appeared on First Take this week. Who are you backing in the bout? Let us know in the comments.

“Trust Issues”: The Weeknd Confirms Song Release Was A Spotify Hack

by

Thanks to Drake helping put Toronto on the map, the city has since brought forth plenty of musical talent. Tory Lanez, Daniel Caesar, and Roy Woods immediately come to mind, as well as Abel Tesfaye – better known as The Weeknd. The Starboy singer has been putting in work at the studio for well over a decade now, and even recently revealed that he’s retiring from doing features unless his favourite group gets back together. His sound has always been progressive and experimental, and thanks to Scorpionic influences in his birth chart, Tesfaye is near constantly shedding old skins in favour of rebirthing new eras of himself.

Even with all the boundaries he’s helping to push, The Weeknd still loves the occasional cover. Before climbing the charts to reach the level of superstardom he’s at now, the Uncut Gems actor went viral for putting a unique spin on Drizzy’s “Trust Issues.” It’s been over 12 years since the track first surfaced online, and today (December 18), it finally appeared on Tesfaye’s Spotify profile. While fans were excited to see the beloved single available for listening, we now know it wasn’t the 33-year-old’s intention to release it.

The Weeknd Retweets Post About “Trust Issues” Drop Being Illegitimate

A tweet from @dawnfm103_5 was reposted by Abel this afternoon, noting that his streaming account was compromised. “‘Trust Issues’ is NOT an official release!” they wrote. “The Weeknd’s Spotify account was hacked and the hacker released the song ‘Trust Issues’‼” they reiterated. At the time of publication, the Drake cover is no longer on Spotify, though you can still find it elsewhere online.

Even without “Trust Issues” being available on DSPs, it was an impressive year for The Weeknd. His listeners helped to rack up over 12 billion streams on Spotify alone, with even more coming in thanks to others like Apple Music and YouTube. Read more about what else the Canadian vocalist achieved in 2023 at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Rick Ross Says He’s Afraid To Own A Tesla Because He Might Get Hacked

by

Rick Ross says that he’s apprehensive about owning a Tesla because he’s afraid the government will hack into it. He explained his reasoning during a video shared on Instagram, earlier this week.

Ross believes that police will be able to gain control over a Tesla if involved in a high-speed getaway.

LOS ANGELES, CA – JUNE 28: Rapper Rick Ross performs onstage at the OutKast, A$AP Rocky, Rick Ross, K.

“I won’t have a smart car. Well, I won’t say I won’t have a smart car. But I’ve never ridden in a Tesla, never in my life,” he said. “And the reason being is because I’ve always had in the back of my mind, the government could tap into the brain of the car.”

“‘Ok, where’s Rick?’” Ross mimicked. “‘He’s over there. Bring him in for questioning.’ N***a like, ‘Where am I going? It’s leaving Wing Stop before the wings are even done!’ You pull up to the building and an agent walk out, ‘Hey, Rick.’”

Not everyone is in agreement with Ross’ opinion. Many social media users pointed out in response that tons of cars are made with computers nowadays and could potentially be hacked into. Additionally, Ross uses plenty of other technology that could be tapped into.

Despite reservations about the line of cars, Ross has previously said that he’d trust Elon Musk regarding a trip to Mars. Running into the Tesla owner alongside Diddy and French Montana at Kanye West’s Donda 2 listening party, last year, Ross asked for an invite to space.
