It looks as if Royce Da 5’9″ still has issues with DJ Vlad of VladTV. The Slaughterhouse icon has regularly expressed his discontent with Vlad and some of the content he produces, including Vlad’s remarks about Minister Louis Farrakhan and comments about Eminem. Recently, Royce once again took to social media to speak about why he believes Vlad’s platform needs to be “eliminated.”

A clip of Juvenile’s interview with VladTV went viral where the Louisiana rapper shared his feelings about Young Buck. The video shows Vlad referencing his previous interview with Buck, but Juvenile interrupted him.

“Buck is a b*tch. I hate Buck,” said Juvenile. “I hate Young Buck, fam. Buck is a b*tch ass n*gga. We ain’t gon’ talk about Buck at all. Period.” Vlad said, “Okay, fair enough,” before someone off-screen told Vlad that he’s “asking all the wrong questions.” The host apologized. “Just ask me about me,” Juvenile chimed in. ”Don’t throw names out there like that. It was your interview he done that really made me trigger back to like, f*ck him. Like, I really, f*ck him for real, fam.”

The person off-screen also added that they were looking to have a positive interview. Royce Da 5’9″ reshared the snippet and advised people to pay attention to what was being said. “How he’s choosing to handle Buck is his choice but I’d be remiss not to point out that we get so triggered by each other and we are so quick to cut each other off, we forgetting that there’s a common denominator here,” wrote Royce.

“Eliminate Vlad because his platform is a direct threat to our strength,” he added. “We don’t need him… [shrug emoji] #unityisstrength [open hand emoji].” Check it out below.

They may share affiliations with 1501 Certified Entertainment, but Erica Banks doesn’t believe she has to continuously be asked about Megan Thee Stallion. The “Buss It” hitmaker has been pegged with questions about the Houston Hottie ever since Banks emerged from 1501 following Meg’s successes. Comparisons have been drawn between the two femcees, and, unsurprisingly, Banks is done with inquiries regarding her feelings about Ms. Stallion.

Black Ink Crew star Charmaine Bey has been building her career as a host over at the popular Chicago radio station WGCI for years, and she recently sat down with Banks to discuss the rapper’s career. Bey brought up Banks’s previous “cry baby” lyrics that some have interpreted as being a verbal shot toward Megan.

Charmaine carefully approached the topic and asked once and for all if there was any animosity between the two artists. “There is no beef and we are going to continue to talk about Erica Banks,” the rapper answered curtly. When we interviewed Banks for our Rise & Grind series last month, she said the following:

Last year there was some drama with Megan Thee Stallion. I wanted to ask you if you’ve reached out or if she has reached out to you at all in the last year to squash things? No.

Are you open to that? No.

His career is maintaining an all-time high and it looks as if his relationship with JT is solid, but Lil Uzi Vert has expressed he isn’t doing well at the moment. The rapper and his City Girls girlfriend have finally gone public with their romance after what seemed like over a year of rumors, and they’ve enjoyed being out in the open about their relationship. However, both Uzi and JT have faced backlash and criticism from the public as they endure harassment from trolls and online bullies.

After showing off their matching tattoos, Uzi and JT have taken a step back from giving fans too much of an inside look into their personal lives. Uzi resurfaced on Twitter earlier today with a few messages that disturbed the public and now people are pleading with the rapper to get help.

“So I’m literally getting broke down into pieces,” he tweeted. He sent and deleted another tweet that read, “I’m ready to die [bed emoji].” Then, Uzi added, “Song titles I’m back on my f*ck it sh*t” and “And honestly I just been working to hard that I felt like that so I named 2 songs after my emotions.”

It seems that Uzi was just expressing himself and dropping new titles, but people were still concerned. Check out the tweets below.

If fans thought that Summer Walker was distant and standoffish already, they haven’t seen anything yet. Over the years, Summer Walker has received criticism from the public due to her behavior when interacting with fans at her shows or meet-and-greets. The chart-topping singer later revealed that she has social anxiety and some interactions make her uncomfortable, so she’s adjusted to fit into her active music career. Summer has often shared her life with her fanbase, but she has made it clear—more than once—that once her daughter was born, she wouldn’t be sharing photos of her baby girl.

Although Summer has kept her word, she has uploaded images with her little girl’s face covered by emojis. Still, that didn’t keep critics from storming the internet with comments about the newborn’s weight, and after people threatened to call Child Protective Services on the singer, Summer Walker revealed she’s cutting off contact with the public.

First, she shared dozens of sideways laughing emojis with the message, “Watch this.” She added, “Diva mode activated,” before quoting a Rap lyric. “Keep a couple wet wipes in case a bum try to touch me, ew – Nicki Minaj.” If people didn’t get the full scope of Summer’s anger, she wrote, “Pictures, hugs, casual chats, autographs Deadianna.” 

Fans commented that it would be difficult for Walker to maintain a successful career without fan interaction, but the singer seems unmoved. Check out Summer Walker’s posts below.
