It’s shaping up to a full house for Ludacris now that his wife has given birth. The rapper has been busy with his film and Rap careers, as well as holding down his duties as a husband and father of three, but now he’s added another Bridges to the mix. The Atlanta icon and his wife, Eudoxie, have expanded their brood and shared on Monday (August 9) that they have welcomed their latest addition to the family: a baby girl.

The proud parents took to Instagram to share the first photos of their little one. Ludacris posted a photo of Eudoxie holding their newborn while joking about having a house filled with ladies. “The Movie ‘Girls, Girls, Girls, Girls’ starring Chris Bridges coming soon.. [crying laughing emojis]”

[red heart emoji][praying hands emoji] 7/28/2021.”

Baby Chance is Luda and Eudoxie’s second child together, as they are parents to six-year-old Cadence. He has two other daughters from previous relationships: 20-year-old Karma and seven-year-old Cai. Check out Ludacris and Eudoxie’s posts below.

There have been several artists and Pop Culture entertainers jumping into the sports field as they go toe-to-toe in the ring. Whether they face off with professional boxers, are working on their boxing careers, or are looking to stack their bank accounts with high-profile fights, we’re seeing an influx of pay-per-view bouts between unlikely artists.

For years there have been talks about Soulja Boy taking his turn in the ring against a formidable opponent, and we may be watching the “I did it first” rapper go up again Rae Sremmurd’s Slim Jxmmi.

“I’ll fight any rapper in the game in a boxing match Boxing glove,” Soulja tweeted yesterday (August 8). Fans quickly responded with who they’d like to see him fight, but Jxmmi answered the call. “Let’s go run it,” he replied. Rae Sremmurd’s Twitter account jumped in to stir the pot by tweeting, “@souljaboy x @Jxmmi [eyeball emojis].”

Soulja wasn’t fazed. “I’ll knock yo homeboy out swae,” he added. Jxmmi claimed that a boxing match against Soulja would be “light work” and said he would be the first rapper to take him down. Meanwhile, Swae Lee stood by his brother’s side. “Jxmmy lives for that and that’s my brother ! I gotta see it.”

Time will only tell if this materializes in the future, but let us know who you would bet on if Soulja Boy and Slim Jxmmi were to go up against one another in a professional match.

She’s been working on her craft since she was a young teen, but Latto is finally receiving the recognition her fans believe she deserves. It has been a long time since Latto appeared on The Rap Gameand was chosen by Jermaine Dupri as the winner, yet even with the accolades she’s accumulated since that time, Latto often faces off with naysayers. People have been making comments about the 22-year-old rapper looking much more mature than her age, so Latto took a moment to set things straight.

“Don’t ever play w my face card,” she wrote on her Story. “Y’all love to be in them blog comments saying how ‘old’ I look.”

“Hoe don’t let them wigs, makeup, and stage outfits fool u I got old money and carry myself like a grown ass woman that’s all,” she continued. The Shade Room reposted the rapper’s message and someone commented that “the white woman jumped out when she said old money.” Latto, who is biracial, has received such comments in the past, so she took a moment to address the person.

“FYI black ppl can have ‘old money’ so idk what u mean,” Latto replied.  “But I was referring to the income I’ve accumulated since 16yrs old not inherited income. I’m a first generation millionaire [hands raised emoji].” Check out the exchange below.

The ugly fallout between former Jackass member Bam Margera and the whole Jackass crew continues with yet another legal move. 

After Jackass director Jeff Tremaine filed a restraining order against Bam back in June, it seemed as if the long feud between Bam and production would be out of the picture for good. 

The new Jackass clan went on to drop the trailer for their upcoming film, Jackass Forever, without any footage of Bam. This release confirmed suspicions that because of their fallout, the stunts Bam had already performed and filmed for the movie would be cut.

Bam evidently is not satisfied with how things were left though, and now is setting out to sue the Jackass gang. The forty-one-year-old stated the “wellness agreement” he signed actually “forced him to take a cocktail of prescription drugs that left him depressed and drained, and restricted his ability to travel, work and live his life,” according to TMZ.

The actor-comedian now claims the routine drug test that got him booted from the franchise was a positive test for Adderall, despite the fact that he’s apparently been prescribed the drug for over 10 years. He also alleged his treatment by the Jackass crew was “inhumane” and “discriminatory,” comparing it to Britney Spears’ conservatorship. 

Back in February when news first broke, Bam co-signed that he stopped taking his prescribed medication, thus resulting in him being fired, as he broke the contract that was drawn up by his concerned Jackass family. 

Almost everyone involved with Jackass is cited for Bam’s alleged false firing in the recently-filed suit, including Johnny Knoxville, Spike Jonze, Jeffrey Tremaine, Paramount Pictures, MTV, Dickhouse Entertainment and Gorilla Flicks.

On Monday, the newly-crowned billionaire, Rihanna, dropped new content for her latest expansion to the Fenty brand. A short promotional video for Rihanna’s recently revealed perfume arrived today, only furthering the hype for the latest Fenty product, currently known as “#FENTYPARFUM.” 

The short visual opens with an up-close shot of blades of grass. After Rihanna debuts on the screen, looking as flawless as ever in a serene white outfit, audio in the background enters boldly with, “We’re fucked up most of the time.”

Rihanna drops her gaze to the camera when the voice says, “and it’s not because we wanna be that way, it’s because we’re dealt a hand and, guess what, we don’t run from it. We deal with it.” 

The mood switches from daytime and dreamy to dark and sensual with the sound of a camera’s click– the singer’s silhouette basking in golden light. Rihanna now narrates, “And so you want me to tell you what a woman supposed to smell like? However the fuck they wanna feel,” before the video closes with another camera click, and the shot of the perfume bottle.

The official Fenty account captioned the video, “Don’t miss your chance to get EARLY access! Sign up for email/SMS to get access to shop #FENTYPARFUM on 8/9.”

Check out the new clip below.

The Kid LAROI has been having a massive moment over the past few weeks thanks to his hit song “Stay” featuring Justin Bieber. The success of the song has launched his new album to the top spot of the Billboard Top 200, and now, “Stay” is the number one song on the Billboard charts. This is LAROI’s first song to chart that high, and if you’ve been on TikTok as of late, then you would know that this song is inescapable. 

Following this major milestone, LAROI went on his Instagram page and celebrated his latest achievement with a lengthy message to all of the fans who have supported him over the years. Within the message, LAROI noted that he wanted to go back home to his native Australia although COVID has put the kibosh on that.

 Per The Kid LAROI:

“WOAH. number fucking 1!!! first of all, thank you to every single one of you mfs for streaming, buying and supporting the fuuuuck out of this record & thank you to my brother @justinbieber for being apart of this and going so hard for me constantly. this is not only a big moment for me, but a really big moment for Australia. growing up all I ever wanted to do was “make it big” in America and show everyone what we have to offer. it’s been a while since I’ve been back home because of COVID but truuust me I been there in spirit lol. I wanna take this moment to give a shoutout to a couple of other upcoming Australian artists and put you all in tune — they’re next”

In the original caption, LAROI had added an extra caveat concerning COVID-19, saying: “which I currently have rn and have been locked in a room for the past 7 days.” This was quickly deleted although it is unknown as to why.

LAROI’s admission is interesting considering the fact that he performed at Lollapalooza back on July 29th, according to TMZ. Regardless of where he may have contracted COVID, it is odd that he felt the need to delete that piece of information. Either way, we’re sure he’s just happy to have one of the biggest songs in the world right now.
