Yesterday was a scary day for Gervonta Davis as his private plane got into an accident while taking off. Eventually, the plane had to emergency land and while everyone on board was safe, there were some minor injuries to go around. In fact, even Kodak Black was on the flight, and in a tweet, he revealed that he still had arm and back pain stemming from the harsh landing.

Davis was able to film the ordeal, and if you check out the video down below, you can see how the plane ended up in a field next to the airstrip. These scenes were pretty daunting and after realizing what had happened, Jake Paul took to Twitter where he tried to put his beef with Davis to rest.

“Bullshit aside.. glad you safe champ @gervontaa,” Paul wrote. Of course, these two got into a Twitter spat last week, and Paul wanted to make sure that Davis understands it’s nothing serious. Despite the kind message, Davis wasn’t too happy to hear from Paul, as he hit back this morning saying “Fuck ya.” Needless to say, Davis has no interest in squashing the beef.

Davis is currently on Paul’s “hit list” as Jake looks to climb the ranks of the boxing world. At this point, there is no telling whether or not these two will fight, although based on this energy, they could certainly put on an interesting show.

If you are a music fan, you have probably spent a lot of money throughout your life on concert tickets, merch, and various other products and events sold by your favorite artists. This kind of spending can certainly accumulate over the years, leaving you to wonder why you would give up so much money on just one person. Regardless, being a fan can be pricey and there are some artists who are a lot more “expensive” than others.

In a new study done by Money.co.uk, some of the biggest artists in the world were put under the microscope to see how much the average fan was spending on them. This study looked at career longevity as well as the number of albums they’ve released, and even the average price of a ticket to their shows. It was then revealed that the five most expensive rappers right now are Eminem, Travis Scott, Drake, Kanye West, and Kendrick Lamar.

For instance, the average cost of being an Eminem fan is $2,966.66 while Travis Scott costs $2,244.39 and Drake costs $1,543.42. Meanwhile, Kanye sits at $1,395.56 and Kendrick is $1,231.31. All of these artists edged out pop artists who had much cheaper entry points. As for female MCs, Cardi B only costs $243.98 and Megan was set at $221.70. It remains to be seen just how scientific this study was, although it makes a lot of sense when you consider the status of the top five artists.

While Travis hasn’t been in the game for a long time, he still sells a lot of merch and he even has a brand deal with Jumpman. This alone has fans reaching into their pockets to support him at every turn.

Kanye West is just about ready to drop DONDA, or at least we hope. On Thursday, he’ll be hosting the third listening party for the album in his hometown of Chicago and hopefully, we’ll be getting the album shortly after. Even though ‘Ye’s manager confirmed that it will happen, it seems like Kanye is truly pushing to go head-to-head with Drake.

Things took a sharp turn yesterday when Trippie Redd uploaded “Betrayal” ft. Drake where the Canadian rapper addressed Kanye’s alleged plans to drop DONDA on the same day as Certified Lover Boy. Even if Drake’s incredibly light jab at Kanye was largely to dispel rumors that he’s been pushing his album back, it was enough to warrant a public reaction from ‘Ye. Kanye shared a screenshot from a group text (including Pusha T, Drake and apparently, Virgil Abloh) where he told Drake that he’d “never recover.” Though it seemed like a dramatic statement, fans began to pick apart the statement, specifically in relation to the “green watch” Kanye mentioned in the text prior.

As the story goes, Virgil Abloh made Drake a one-of-one green watch with Jacob and Co. Drake not only rapped about the watch on “Life Is Good” but also on Lil Baby and Gunna’s “Never Recover.” “Virgil just chef’d me a whole different colorway,” Drake raps on the song before sending off what seems to be a sub at Kanye West. “Next time I’m in Dallas, I’ll look for another/ You n***as fell off and you’ll never recover.”

Some have considered it a stretch while others believe that Kanye West might actually be upset over the 2018 song. What are your thoughts? Let us know in the comment section below. 

Over the past month or so, PJ Washington and Brittany Renner have been the talk of the NBA offseason. Renner and Washington first linked up while PJ was in college, and eventually, they even had a child together. In recent months, their relationship has fallen apart, and now, it appears as though the two can’t stop subbing each other on social media.

Washington claims Renner was simply out to finesse him, which is an assertion backed up by the fact that Renner has stated in old videos that basketball players are easy to trick. Recently, Washington claimed that Renner wasn’t letting him see his son, which is a claim that came in the midst of rumors that Washington was paying six figures per month in child support.

Since that time, Washington was able to reunite with his son, although he isn’t done with the subs on Twitter. Just yesterday, Washington tweeted “Don’t save her” after retweeting a post from Future that said “pray for her.” While Washington didn’t name Renner in these posts, it’s reasonable to assume he was taking about the mother of his child.

This entire situation is unfortunate for both sides although, given the circumstances, it doesn’t look like it will be resolved anytime soon. Hopefully, Washington is able to find some peace ahead of the NBA season.

By the time 2024 rolls around, it will be nearly impossible to deny 50 Cent’s prowess as a television executive. The man knows what he’s doing, as we’ve seen with the success of Power and its spin-offs, and soon enough, BMF. The story of the Black Mafia Family has been told through word of mouth but their captivating rise in the dope game in America is worthy of a full motion picture.

Following a brief teaser trailer that was released last month, 50 Cent and co. have officially unveiled the first official trailer for the show. The trailer takes it back to the early 1980s when brothers Terry “Southwest T” Flenory and Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory (played by Da’Vinchi and Demetrius “Lil Meech” Flenory Jr., respectively) ” first got introduced to the world of drug trafficking.

“When we was growing up, we wanted to be like Young Boys Incorporated. All them dudes had money, women, clothes, and fly whips,” the narration says in the trailer.

Just a few days after the Thursday debut of the official BMF trailer, 50 Cent has now revealed that Power Book IV: Force has officially wrapped up production. Fif took to Instagram where he promised that the next show in the Power universe will continue to elevate the show.

“POWER Book IV FORCE is wrapped, expect me to keep raising the bar. TOMMY,” he wrote on Instagram alongside Tommy Flanagan, adding, “Green Light Gang.”

Yesterday, superstar boxer Gervonta Davis got caught up in what could have been a horrifying plane accident. While trying to take off, his private plane blew an engine which forced the pilot to land prematurely. No one was severely harmed in the incident although some passengers did sustain minor bumps and bruises. For instance, Davis said he had some back and butt pain following the crash.

While Davis was mostly surrounded by his team, he was also accompanied by none other than Kodak Black. While taking to Twitter today, Kodak revealed that he was on the plane that crash-landed, and as it turns out, he’s not feeling so good right now.

The Florida artist is suffering from some scrapes and some muscle pain which makes sense when you consider the impact of such an accident. “I Was On Dat Jet Wit @Gervontaa & I’m Not Ok,” Kodak wrote. “Shittt Me , My Neck My Back all data.”

Thankfully, everyone on the plane was okay, and while these injuries will cause some brief discomfort, they should go away on their own within a few days to a week.

Davis filmed the aftermath of the crash, and you can check out those images, down below.
