Boosie Badazz Clarifies Controversial Comments About Daughter’s Sexuality

by

Recently, Boosie Badazz sat down with Yung Miami for a live version of her podcast, Caresha Please. During their conversation, he made a few remarks about his daughter Iviana, and her being openly gay. According to him, he doesn’t want her to bring home a partner out of fear of their homosexuality somehow “contaminating” his other children.

“I mean, she still can’t bring her situation to our house, my daughter’s grown. Because I don’t want it to contaminate her other… It’s a generation we raising. I don’t want her to contaminate her other six, seven sisters who look up to her. I want them to bring me grandchildren the right way,” he said. For obvious reasons, his comments were hurtful and offensive to many, including Iviana.

Boosie Badazz Says He Never Meant To Hurt His Daughter

She took to social media to respond, making it clear that she didn’t appreciate her father’s comments. According to her, he could have easily chosen to share his feelings with her directly instead of announcing them publicly. “Emotionally, mentally, you suck,” she said. “Like, I would respect if you just say, just one time, just say, ‘My daughter know how I feel about that, can we move on to the next question?’” Upon hearing his daughter’s response, Boosie took to Instagram yesterday to clarify that his goal was not to hurt his daughter.

“NEVER MEANT TO HURT YOU,” he captioned a photo of the two of them when Iviana was a kid. “DADDY BBY #iloveu.” He went on to share various additional photos featuring her and his other children. “We all we got,” he captioned one of them. What do you think of Boosie Badazz clarifying that he never meant to offend his daughter with his comments about her sexuality?

Future Boasts Great First Week Sales Numbers For “MIXTAPE PLUTO” Chart Debut

by

It looks like Future’s promising first week sales projections for MIXTAPE PLUTO will manifest. Moreover, HITS Daily Double reports that the project will debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart (the catalog’s 11th overall) with a total of 129K album-equivalent units sold. This would mark his third triple-digit debut and chart-topper of the year, as it almost outsold the Metro Boomin collab album WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU and follows the massive success of the first installment, WE DON’T TRUST YOU. This is very impressive for Pluto, albeit well within his powers as a hip-hop giant. We still have yet to receive official word from Billboard, though, so there’s always a chance things could change.

Of course, fans will debate over which of Future’s three 2024 records is better, and all of them are distinct enough to warrant that discussion. You have the grand and star-studded presentation of the first Metro album, the R&B return on the second, and some classic 2010s trap worship on the third. The “TEFLON DON” rapper has some killer tracks on all of them that will rank as some of his best of the decade. Also, his prolific nature means that there will probably be many more highlights to come.

Future’s MIXTAPE PLUTO Is Another Chart-Topper

However, all this doesn’t mean that MIXTAPE PLUTO didn’t come without its disappointments and contentious aspects. Many fans questioned why the teased features for this new Future tape, such as Travis Scott and Gunna, did not make the final tracklist. The latter even seemed to respond to this development, characterizing it as just business and not a personal matter. Still, that wasn’t an explicit reference to the project, so who knows?

All we know is that the production on MIXTAPE PLUTO is entrancing and that Future’s performances are pretty solid for the most part. But don’t take our word for it; let us know what your favorite Hendrix release was this year and your thoughts on the run overall down in the comments section below. Even if you’re not the biggest fan, there’s a huge chance that you won’t be able to escape from many of these 2024 cuts until the year ends.

Young Dolph Murder Case’s Remaining Suspects Will Return To Court To Face Trial

by

Many folks still have unanswered questions after the court convicted one of three murder suspects in the Young Dolph case. On Thursday, the jury found gunman Justin Johnson guilty of first-degree murder and he received a life sentence in prison, leaving the other two suspects’ fates hanging in the balance. These individuals are Cornelius Smith (the other alleged gunman) and Hernandez Govan (the attack’s alleged mastermind). For those unaware, a fourth suspect in this case, Johnson’s brother Jermarcus, pleaded guilty to three counts of accessory after the fact and will faces a six to 12 year sentence. He will return to court on October 9 for his next scheduled hearing.

As for Smith and Govan, the court reportedly decided on when these men will face trial for the murder of Young Dolph, according to court documents allegedly obtained in an ABC24 Memphis report. Govan is scheduled to return to court on October 9 as well, whereas Smith’s next scheduled court date on November 15. Not only that, but this November court date could result in a verdict and sentence as well, although that’s a vague detail that emerged in these reports.

Other elements of the Young Dolph case involve how Smith and Jermarcus both testified against Justin. Smith claimed that he and Justin took up an offer to murder the rapper for an alleged $100K bounty supposedly set by Yo Gotti’s late brother Big Jook and Hernandez Govan. However, conflict arose when Smith allegedly only received $800 for the hit while on the run. “I’m going to jail anyway,” he responded to a prosecutor’s question about what folks offered him in exchange for his testimony. “I can get it off my chest. It’s my best out to be honest, to be truthful. Why play with these folks? They already know.”

Meanwhile, the Shelby County District’s Attorney, Steve Mulroy, told ABC24 Memphis that the court or jury will decide Smith and Govan’s fates through either a trial or a plea deal. In addition, he posited that this will depend on their cooperation. Young Dolph’s family has responded to Johnson’s conviction, and they await what happens next.

Russell Simmons Likes Post About Alleged Sale Of Diddy Freak Off Tapes

by

Ariel Mitchell-Kidd, a lawyer representing one of the women accusing Diddy of sexual assault, sat down with Ashleigh Banfield of NewsNation for an interview last week. During their conversation, she alleged that she’d been contacted about the “sale of one of the Diddy tapes.” She also alleged that the tape in question featured an even higher-profile celebrity than Diddy.

“There already have been tapes leaking around Hollywood being shopped around. But one particular person contacted me to shop a particular video,” Mitchell-Kidd alleged. “I can tell the video was pornographic. This was in his Atlanta home, and it does seem like the person isn’t looking into the video. To me, it doesn’t seem like that person knows they’re being videotaped.”

Russell Wilson Supports Post About Ariel Mitchell-Kidd Discussing Alleged Diddy Tapes

The Neighborhood Talk shared a clip of the interview on its Instagram page, prompting reactions from several users. Russell Simmons even caught wind of the post and dropped a like. It’s unclear why he did this, and it’s possible that it was an accident. Regardless, it has fans speculating. It also has them looking back on Simmons’ own past and the things he’s been accused of. His latest like comes after Diddy’s former bodyguard Gene Deal claimed that Simmons had an influence on Diddy’s behavior.

“You gotta realize, he learned from Andre Harrell,” he told The Art of Dialogue earlier this month. “He learned from Russell Simmons. He learned from Clive Davis… When those people are telling you that they were heavy into the drugs,” Deal also alleged, “They was heavy into beating women, and doing things at that cr*zy stage. That’s gonna make him think that he can get away with the same thing.” What do you think of Russell Simmons liking a post about a lawyer representing one of Diddy’s accusers alleging that sex tapes featuring him and others are being shopped around Hollywood?
