Dr. Dre could easily send his daughter a few million dollars to get her into a safe home with her four children, but he’s allegedly ghosting her, forcing her to create a $50,000 crowd-funding campaign to fight homelessness.
Last week, LaTanya Young, Dr. Dre’s 38-year-old daughter, revealed that she’s homeless. Social media immediately lit up the legendary rapper/producer, urging him to financially help out his daughter. Considering the fact that he’s worth an estimated $800 million, Dre could part with a few million dollars and he wouldn’t even notice. However, he’s allegedly ignoring his daughter’s requests.
“I think GoFundMe campaigns are for people in desperate situations and I’m in a desperate situation,” said LaTanya. “Some people were in awe of what I am going through and asked if I had a GoFundMe. I really don’t want to accept any handouts but I appreciate anything that is offered. I have worked all my life and I know how to work for money but I’m in a difficult place right now. I believe in investing in your kids. That’s what I want to do for my kids so they are never in a position like I am right now.”
LaTanya has been working for Uber Eats and DoorDash, and she allegedly has not seen her father in over eighteen years. She is allegedly living out of a rental car in Tarzana, California.
LaTanya allegedly admitted that she doesn’t even have her father’s phone number, being forced to communicate with his team. Her four children, whom she raises by herself, have never met their grandfather. “My kids are staying with friends. They are not living in the car. it’s just me,” she said.
According to LaTanya’s claims, Dr. Dre’s lawyer told her that he doesn’t want to help “because I’ve spoken about him in the press.”

Although he is currently getting ready for his 18th month in jail, controversial Florida rapper YNW Melly has ensured fans that despite his bleak legal circumstances, he’ll be home in just a matter of time. Or rather, Just A Matter Of Slime, like the title of his newly released full-length LP.
Just A Matter Of Slime serves as YNW Melly’s second album from behind bars since he was arrested in 2019, and the 13-track project boasts a star-studded tracklist featuring the likes Lil Uzi Vert, Kodak Black, Kevin Gates, Young Thug, Queen Naija, and more.
One of the high-profile collaborations housed on Just A Matter Of Slime is “Take Care,” which enlists the help of Voice of the Heroes rappers Lil Baby and Lil Durk. The smooth track finds all three artists in a vulnerable state as they communicate their love and need for their respective love interests.
Give the Lil Baby and Lil Durk-assisted “Take Kare” a listen below, and if you’re feeling it, go ahead and check out the rest of Just A Matter Of Slime here.
Quotable Lyrics
I never drop a dime on a nigga that ain’t my speed bro
How the fuck I’m in Miami on a speed boat
All these pretty women boostin’ up my ego
Tell her “I’ma be here forever”, but then I leave though
How these niggas follow the leader and I’m in the lead though?
Tierra Whack‘s latest track, “8,” constitutes her contribution to the soundtrack of the upcoming 2022 edition of EA’s Madden NFL video game series and finds the Philly rapper going in over a grumbly, buzzing beat produced by frequent collaborator J Melodic. It’s a short but hypnotic track that it’s easy to imagine backing a late-night session of shotgun passes and QB dives. Joining Whack on the soundtrack — which is out now on Interscope — are buzzy artists like 42 Dugg, BRS Kash, JID, Sally Sossa, and Tank And The Bangas.
In addition to popping up here, Whack’s latest mercenary efforts have included a collaboration with Lego on “Link” and with her hometown’s NBA franchise on “76.” While the former found her working with school kids to come up with a cute narrative music video as part of the brand’s Rebuild The World campaign, the latter celebrated the 76ers’ playoff run and had Whack name-checking the team’s players while showing off her own ball skills in the video.
Of course, she’s still had time to build on the impressive body of work she kicked off in 2018 with the attention-grabbing Whack World. As well as showing off her impressive, battle-honed flow on freestyles over “Whoopty,” “Last Dayz,” and “Stand Up,” she recently dropped her own original, house-influenced single “Walk The Beat.” She also celebrated her birthday this week.
Listen to “8” above.
Westside Gunn and Fabolous might not be the most similar on a stylistic level, but the pair certainly share a few keen interests. It’s probably why their brand new collaboration — arriving courtesy of the Godfather Of Harlem soundtrack — is titled “Brick After Brick.”
Off the bat, the production is a far cry from what Gunn typically slides on, adding an additional dose of excitement to his starting “Ayo.” While he doesn’t always receive the credit he deserves as an emcee, Gunn stands toe-to-toe with Fab as he urgently attacks his opening verse with vivid gangsta rap imagery. Defaulting as the calculated and collected counterpart, Fab brings his signature punchlines to the mix as he closes things out with an authoritative verse.
Overall, “Brick After Brick” is a strong showing from both contributors, and we can only hope they continue to explore this chemistry on further releases. Check it out now, and sound off — who do you think had the superior verse?
Undercover Valentino with the space on it
Who the dope dealers in the four-door GTs?
Brick out the roof with the AR-15s
50 shots later I was feeling much greater
Bodies dropping, the shit was like a lay-up
A woman came forward to accuse Don Toliver, and multiple other people, of rape and sexual assault. The woman, who goes by @caniba5_ on Instagram, shared her story on the platform, calling out Don, as well as his girlfriend Kali Uchis.
“Don Toliver raped me in 2019,” she said. “And I’ve never said anything to anyone in the public til now. I don’t care, he’s very disrespectful, and fucked up individual. If you listen to his music, please don’t be my friend. Just leave me alone, block me, and go. I’ve kept this to myself and it has caused me so much trauma, and pain I can’t describe. My heart has been trying to mend for so long.”
She later posted a recent picture of Don Toliver and Kali Uchis, adding, “@kaliuchis you’re dating my rapist. Please I loved your music but now my heart is aching because you’re with my abuser.”
She also called out a number of other people, but for obvious reasons, the Don Toliver accusations have had the loudest response. People are currently reacting on social media and wishing that the claims aren’t real.
“If the dontoliver allegations are true this gotta be the biggest fumble ever,” said one fan. “wait wait DonToliver did WHAAATT??” reacted another surprised fan.
Don Toliver has not addressed the allegations yet.

Although Soulja Boy may attest that he has had the biggest comeback in recent memory, the Hip-Hop community cannot afford to overlook the sensational comeback that K Camp has been experiencing since 2019. After his Reazy Renegade-produced single “Lottery” went viral on TikTok, K Camp doubled down on his moment and released the hit-spawning Kiss 5 project in 2020.

Denzel Curry is gearing up to release his new album Melt My Eyez, See Your Future, and now he’s back to set the stage with his new single “The Game.” Arriving complete with an elaborate visual calling back to the gaming days of yore, Denzel’s latest sets a promising stage for what’s to come. Taking to a slow-paced and impactful bounce, Zel proceeds to lock into a complex flow scheme, implementing a touch of storytelling for added effect.
“The street had only brought me ether and random outburst, I told the hood that I’ma come back, just get me out first,” spits Denzel. “And ni*gas quick to call me sell out, when I’m on the outskirts / Want to know on how I got there, I put in hard work.” He proceeds to circle back to themes first touched on in “Clout Cobain,” putting the rap industry under the magnifying glass — during a particularly sunny day. “Doing all this industry shit, I start to realize, we lookin’ up to junkies and shit, then mimic they lives,” he raps, emphasizing how important it is to make quality music.
Though a little more understated than some of his previous drops, Denzel’s authoritative tone and masterful technical chops give “The Game” undeniable power. Check it out now, and sound off below with your thoughts.
Doing all this industry shit, I start to realize
We lookin’ up to junkies and shit, then mimic they lives
Ni*gas go and get the some new tats, wear the same chains
Gucci, Prada, Fendi, you all wear the same thang
Ni*gas fucking on the same bitch that you call main
Now I gotta roast you slow, mane, like it was lo mein
