Tekashi 6ix9ine has stayed on the down-low for much of the last year, attempting to make a comeback with his TattleTales album, which failed to create much attention. In an attempt to keep his name relevant, 6ix9ine has resorted to social media comments to stay in the conversation, often getting disrespectful with his most-targeted rivals. In recent months, the rainbow-haired troll has taken aim at Lil Durk and his entourage, getting straight up vile with rude comments about the late King Von, as well as Durk’s older brother OTF DThang, who passed away from a gunshot wound a few weeks ago. Last night, Tekashi reappeared to come after New York rapper Bobby Shmurda for allegedly signing to Roc Nation.

Posting a video of himself leaving the Roc Nation offices, Bobby Shmurda seemed to hint that he was officially a member of JAY-Z’s illustrious label. Not everyone was pleased to see him at the Roc though– specifically, 6ix9ine took issue with him signing to the label after Bobby took such a serious stand against snitching.

“They hate ratting and cooperating with police but SIGN to roc nation (Who’s CEO is a cooperating federal informant for the DEA) but pick and choose,” wrote 6ix9ine in the comments of DJ Akademiks’ post. 

6ix9ine is referring to Desiree Perez, one of Roc Nation’s five founders who was appointed CEO in 2019. Perez received a Presidential pardon from Donald Trump last year, but it’s worth noting that she never allegedly cooperated with the DEA. Perez reportedly cooperated with the U.S. Attorney’s Office following drug, firearm, and grand larceny charges. The firearm charged was ultimately dropped. 6ix9ine has taken serious issue with Roc Nation in recent years because of Desiree Perez’ appointment as the CEO.

He added more commentary in a further post, writing:

“People hate it because it comes from me. But it’s cool I’m still untouched it’s been a year since I been home I’ve done shows I been in night clubs I done everything people told me I couldn’t do. So they hate me because I proved the world wrong. I would hate me too. By the way quando untouched too and lil Tim and I remember them saying he lucky he in jail [three laughing emojis.] Fuk Von and we smoking Dthang now.”

Their last public-ish altercation was over a year ago, but Tommie Lee and Brittney Taylor reportedly still have animosity brewing. By all accounts, Tommie and Taylor were friends back in March 2020 until they were involved in a confrontation that reportedly took place at Tommie’s home. The Love & Hip Hop stars were joined by Bobby Lytes, rapper Trina’s cousin from the Miami franchise, and another unnamed friend. Tommie recorded everything that went down and the video showed a drunk Brittney getting into a physical altercation with the unidentified person.

Soon after, Brittney popped up on Instagram Live with Lee and Lytes, appearing visibly intoxicated as she attempted to explain away the fight. Over a year later, things came full circle this (June 6) evening when they all reunited at the afterparty for Eve and Trina’s Verzuz. 

The Shade Room shared videos that showed Tommie Lee with Lytes once again and they seemed to be enjoying their section at a club before Tommie can be seen yelling at someone in the distance. The outlet reported that Tommie and Brittney faced off once again, and in the clip, the woman Tommie was shouting at is seen being physically carried out by a man.

There are rumors that the woman isn’t Taylor but is a friend of Brittney’s who goes by the name “Haitian Princess.” Over on her Instagram Story, she shows behind-the-scenes clips of the Verzuz as she was side-stage with Taylor and Lytes. For those of you who may not remember, Brittney Taylor was the person who accused Remy Ma of attacking her. The charges were later dropped.

Back in 2016, in the thick of their on-again-off-again relationship, Kylie Jenner showed her dedication to Tyga by getting a small tattoo of a lowercase “t.” He got one for her as well, but the pair would eventually split for good and move on, and later, she reportedly altered the ink to read, “LA.” We’re not sure just how many women may have skin art in honor of the hitmaking rapper, but Tyga and his new lady friend recently shared the first look at their tattoos that show they’re locked in.

Tyga and girlfriend Camaryn Swanson have been the subject of rumors and it seems that they’ve doubled down on their love by taking a trip to the tattooist’s chair. 

Photos show that he got “Cam” tattooed on his wrist while she opted for “t raww” down her neck. Days ago, the couple was the subject of engagement rumors after Page Six reported that Swanson was seen wearing a diamond ring on her left ring finger as the couple left an L.A. party. Neither has confirmed or denied the rumors, but this latest escapade to get tattoos just further fuels the rumor mill.

It’s unclear when they began dating or how long they’ve known each other, but Tyga and Swanson went public back in March. The 22-year-old fashion designer has regularly posted her adventures with the 31-year-old rapper, so expect to see more of these two in the future. Check out a few posts below.

As an A-lister with a busy schedule, it doesn’t seem as if Jamie Foxx has time for much else outside of his television series and film deals. Yet, that’s exactly what the Oscar-winning entertainer has done as he’s written a new book, Act Like You Got Some Sense: And Other Things My Daughters Taught Me, and the title is reportedly inspired by wise words given to Foxx from his grandmother.

Entertainment Weekly shared an excerpt from the forthcoming release and they reported that inside, Foxx spins tales of his Texas upbringing into the development of his career. The multi-hyphenate performer is the father of two daughters, actress Corinne Foxx and pre-teen Anelise (reports also spell her name “Annalise”), and he details the lessons that come with fathering girls in today’s culture.

A portion of the excerpt reads:

My grandparents told me they wanted me to have every tool in my toolbox – the educational tool, the artistic tool, the discipline tool, the moral tool. My grandmother wanted me to be worldly enough that I would be able to connect with any person in any room I walked into. She also wanted me to have a strong moral compass, because she knew when I moved away from Terrell and got out in the world, there would be many temptations and times when I needed to be able to say “No.”

Estelle Talley was the most influential figure in turning little nappy-headed Eric Bishop into the man I eventually became.

He added:

When I am deep in the weeds, trying to figure out how to parent my daughters, it is the voice of my grandmother I hear in my head, encouraging me, and of course yelling at me when I’m messing up as a parent. Thanks to her, I knew that it wasn’t about always being your kids’ best friend but being a parent. Even when it means you gotta be tough with them. Sometimes you gotta be tough because you love them. Just like she always loved me.

Over on Instagram, Foxx shared the cover of his book and in the caption, he detailed the journey it took to get it finished. “A book about the relationships between two of the most important people in my life,” he said. “My beautiful daughters… @corinnefoxx and Anelise Foxx… while writing this book I discovered feelings and emotions that I didn’t even know existed… There would be times that I would break out laughing and also times that I would shed tears.”

Act Like You Got Some Sense: And Other Things My Daughters Taught Me arrives on bookshelves on October 19. Let us know if you’ll be purchasing this one.
