Platinum-selling rap icons Diddy and Nas are giving big props to a fellow hip-hop mogul.

Florida rapper Lil Pump was understandably upset when he discovered that someone busted the windows of his luxury car over the weekend, posting a video in which he threatens the as-yet-unknown culprits with violent repercussions. Panning his phone’s camera over the damage, Pump promised, “Whoever did this, I’ma catch you and I’ma blow your brains out… Step foot in my yard again. I want you to step foot in my yard. I’ma be up for three days straight… That’s a free body for me.”
Pump seems to have gotten himself into a number of disagreements over the past year, including with JetBlue Airlines after refusing to wear a mask during a December flight and with Eminem fans after lashing out at the elder rapper over Eminem’s derogatingly name-checking him in songs.
Of course, Pump also seemingly invited the disapproval of a great many outspoken hip-hop fans when he decided to endorse Donald Trump’s re-election run — despite not being registered to vote himself — even going so far as releasing the baffling single, “Lil Pimp Big MAGA Steppin.”
After doing so much to alienate so many people, it’s not hard to believe that the destruction was meant to antagonize Pump, but it’s equally likely he’s merely seeing the rift between rabblerousing youth and adults from the other side.,
Kobe Bryant was a big fan of Bruce Lee and when it came to their mentalities, they were quite similar. Legendary rapper Ice Cube was also a big fan of Bruce Lee and he just so happened to be a good friend of Kobe Bryant. With this in mind, you can just imagine what kind of impact their deaths had on Cube. During an episode of the Getcha Popcorn Ready podcast with Terrell Owens and Matthew Hachette, Ice Cube explained what made Kobe and Lee so similar and why they were special to him.
“It’s like losing a superhero. I remember having a superhero like Bruce Lee and finding out he… you know. I put Kobe in that category in a way,” Cube said. “So it’s a great loss to our courage in a way. People like Kobe help all of us, summons the spirit in us, you know what I mean? To be the best.”
In his own life, Cube admitted that he likes to try and replicate that Mamba Mentality in a bid to always make sure that he is putting maximum effort into whatever he does. Cube even complimented Owens for being the exact same way.
“It takes courage to go there and challenge yourself because that’s the fight nobody knows but you” Cube said. “To challenge yourself, to go further, get better, and be better in that, you’re good but not good enough, keep going. This is what I love about athletes like, with that spirit that Kobe, I give T.O. that spirit too.”
This weekend, Kobe will be inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame and it will be a truly emotional time for all of his fans. We’re sure Cube will be watching and reminiscing about Kobe’s incredible career as a Laker.

Recently-single Jennifer Lopez seems to be ready to rekindle old relationships. After breaking off her engagement to baseball superstar Aaron Rodriguez in mid-April, she has reportedly already been spending time with her ex, movie star Ben Affleck. Affleck is also recently single after splitting from his girlfriend, actress Ana de Armas, in January 2021, after being together for a year.
Affleck and Lopez have a complicated past, first getting together as young stars in 2002. They got engaged after dating for six months but the bliss was short-lived as they called off their September 2003 wedding. Shortly after that, they got back together again, until breaking up in 2004.
According to a source of ELLE, who is reportedly close to either exes, they have remained friends ever since, but feelings are still there.
Tabloids suspected the two of spending some time together at J-Lo’s home in Los Angeles last week. The actor was supposedly seen being dropped off and picked up at a location near the singer’s home, in order to avoid having his actions being filmed by the paparazzi.
This past weekend the pair took their reunion to the mountains, taking a trip to the Big Sky Resort in Montana. The scenic vacation was located right nearby Yellowstone National Park.
TMZ reports Lopez and Affleck returned to Los Angeles together flying “out of Montana together Sunday from Bozeman, Montana to L.A. When they arrived in L.A. at the Signature Terminal at LAX, they took an SUV together and drove to her house in Bel-Air.”
With past romantic history and a recent reconnection, there is certainly speculation that the two may be an item again. What do you think?

With the Nike Dunk Low going through a massive resurgence, Nike has decided to come through with a ton of great new colorways of the infamous silhouette. The Nike Dunk High has also been through a similar renaissance of sorts, and sneakerheads are loving it. There is a lot of nostalgia associated with the Dunk Low, and by creating new colorways, Nike is able to capitalize on said nostalgia.
There have been quite a few women’s exclusive Dunk Lows to be unveiled and one of them is the “Barely Green” colorway which can be found below. The shoe has a light creamy green base while some darker green overlays are placed on top. From there, we have a crimson tint Nike swoosh which truly puts the cherry on top. Overall, the colorway has a very muted yet whimsical feel to it and we’re sure we will be seeing a lot of these throughout the summer months.
This latest Nike Dunk Low is slated to drop on Friday, May 21st for $100 USD. Let us know whether or not these are a cop, in the comments section below.
You have to wonder when Berner sleeps. Between running a highly successful cannabis company that continues to thrive and dominate the industry and his prolific career as a rapper, Berner has proven that his hustle is unmatched. Each year, he unloads at least three projects and that’s the minimum.
It was only a few months ago when he released his joint effort with UK rapper Tunde, titled, They Land Better In Manchester. This weekend, the rapper kicked off the campaign for its follow-up Paulie Cicero with his new single, “TD.” Airy vocal samples and Detroit-meets-Cali bass carries the production while Berner’s smoked-out flow details his entrepreneurial hustle.
Keep your eyes peeled for Berner’s new project, Paulie Cicero dropping this Friday, May 14th. Peep the new single below.
Quotable Lyrics
I’m buying land, all cash, fuck a bank loan
I’m where the dank’s grown with all my gold chains on
I’m from the city where all the legends get slept on
Cats left me out the mix, it made my cheque long
At the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, one of social media’s most prevalent tropes was people encouraging each other to use the quarantine to finish their respective projects such as books, albums, or other heavy works. As it happens, it appears plenty of authors did just that; not only are there two books about Mac Miller coming out in the next year or so, but there are also books coming from Questlove, Dave Grohl, and more. Today, Simon and Schuster made another book available for pre-order: Changes: An Oral History of Tupac Shakur by New Yorker writer Sheldon Pearce.
According to the promotional copy on the publisher’s website, Pearce interviewed “dozens” of people who knew Tupac in life, from the bold-faced marquee names to lesser-known individuals who interacted with the revolutionary rap icon. Pearce spoke to such individuals as Tupac’s high school drama teacher, one of his co-stars from a 1983 production of Raisin In The Sun, and one of his partners in a nonprofit devoted to nurturing young artists.
Changes is timed to coincide with the 25th anniversary of ‘Pac’s death in 1996, and well as what would have been his 50th year of life. It’s due June 8, 2021 via Simon & Schuster and you can pre-order it here.
One of the most buzzing series on TV right now is Godfather Of Harlem, a show that follows the tale of Bump Johnson in the 1960s. The star-studded cast includes Forest Whitaker, Luis Guzman, and plenty more but it’s the soundtrack for the show that’s been receiving some praise. So far, it’s boasted massive records with collaborations alongside DMX, Jim Jones, A$AP Ferg, Wale, and the list goes on. It seems like there’s no intention of slowing down the releases, either.
On Friday, Compton’s own Buddy unleashed a jazzy new single for the show titled, “Shit Don’t Feel Right.” The California MC narrates the anxieties of the street life in Harlem, even referencing the show’s protagonist. “You don’t wanna mess with Bumpy Johnson/ You don’t want to fuck around in Harlem,” he raps on the track.
Peep the song below.
Quotable Lyrics
Shut the fuck up, you’re all talk
N***a, we just my bosses
Don’t you know we crazy, we crazy, we crazy
Last Mother’s Day, Offset gave Cardi four Birkin bags and a multitude of boxes of preserved roses. This year he decided to go even bigger and better.
The Migos member took to Instagram to show off how he spoiled his wife for Mother’s Day. Cardi posed amongst over a dozen massive bouquets with a big smile on her face, upon receiving yet another brand new Birkin bag, this time in an orange hue.
Birkin’s are Offset’s signature gift so it seems, as he gives Cardi the infamous bag for almost every and any occasion. He even gifted his daughter one of the ten-thousand-dollar bags for her second birthday, which resulted in much criticism about the couple’s spending habits.
Each addition to Cardi’s Birkin collection validates her title of “Birkin Bag Bardi”, which she coined herself amidst a controversy about her changing the image of the bag by purchasing so many Birkins. During that same time, she posted a picture with 23 different Birkin bags, showing off her impressive assortment of colors as well as her zero-fucks-given attitude.
Despite all the commentary about past purchases (or perhaps in spite of it), Offset gave Cardi another bag, much to her delight.
Offset shared a heartfelt IG caption as well, writing to Cardi: “Happy Mother’s Day my beautiful wife You do a great job of raising our beautiful @kulturekiari the way you love your family is Gods work I’m blessed to have a real one.”
Cardi publicly showed her appreciation for her gift by posting an up-close video of the tangerine bag contrasting against her bright blue nails to her own Instagram story.
