Diddy & Miracle Watts Fuel Romance Rumors With Flirty Comment

by

The debate about whether or not Diddy and Miracle Watts are in a relationship has been in constant circulation for the past few months, ever since Diddy’s New Year’s Eve Party. 

Diddy is  known for throwing over the top and extravagant New Year’s Eve Parties every year that all the biggest celebrities are invited to. Due to COVID-19 concerns the yearly event was significantly downsized, but Watts still made the guest list– and was pictured sitting next to him the whole night, thus sparking the first set of rumors. Later that month, Watts celebrated her 28th birthday, and it seemed like everyone was drinking Diddy’s newest drink, Ciroc and DeLeón Tequila at her party. Last month, rumors renewed once again when Diddy went on vacation with DJ Khaled to work on new music, and he apparently brought along Miracle.

Fast forward to this past weekend, and Diddy posted a picture of himself taking a dip in clear ocean waters, captioning the photo, “Welcome to the LOVE ERA.” The model decided to leave a comment on the post, alongside a handful of fellow IG influencers and celebrities, where she seemingly made her affection for Puff Daddy clear. In the comment, Miracle wrote an enthusiastic all-caps “GEEZ” alongside heart-eye emojis.

For some, this signifies a full blown relationship between the two. Others are waiting for the next hint as Diddy and Miracle advance in their relationship towards public confirmation– which, if the past timeline tells us anything, will be in another month’s time.

Check out Diddy’s post and Miracle’s comment below.

Benny The Butcher, Harry Fraud, & Rick Hyde Connect For “Survivor’s Remorse”

by

A few weeks ago, Benny The Butcher and Harry Fraud united for The Plugs I Met 2, an early album-of-the-year contender from two experts in their respective fields. Today, a new video for the Rick Hyde-assisted “Survivor’s Remorse” has landed, directed by The Digggers. It’s not entirely surprising to see The Butcher opt to make this one his new single, as it’s been widely praised as one of the album’s standout tracks. 

Despite the strong thematic direction explored in both Rick Hyde and Benny’s verses, the clip itself is straightforward enough, as both parties post up and spit bars in their environment. There’s a rawness throughout that captures the essence of “Survivor’s Remorse,” and this no-frills approach places all the attention on Benny and Hyde — two compelling performers who recite their experiences with gravitas and conviction. 

“Remember when I told Black to give me a mission,” raps Benny, the weight of his reflections evident. “He pulled up in fifteen minutes to give me a biscuit / I thought about this rap shit and had to stick to the business / I changed my mind, he didn’t, now he doin’ twenty in Clinton — and that could’ve been me.” Hyde keeps stride with his BSF partner, closing out his verse with a hard-hitting stanza. “That won’t change your situation when your mama and them stressed / If it’s sixty when it’s wholesale, it’s ninety with the Fent,” he spits. “Grab your pot and grab your scale, it gets colder than Quebec.”

Check out the new visuals for “Survivor’s Remorse” now, and sound off — do you think it’s a standout off Benny The Butcher and Harry Fraud’s The Plugs I Met 2?

Though his relationship drama has often occupied headlines, it’s always nice to hear new music from Fetty Wap. The New Jersey rapper hasn’t necessarily been releasing music at the same rate as he used to due to bad business. However, he promised us in December that he’s “goin’ up” and it seems like he’s staying true to his word. 

This week, the rapper released his latest single, “Paterson Legend” along with an accompanying music video. The rapper details his come-up in New Jersey, as well as his rising success in the rap game but overall, it’s a dedication to the city of Paterson that raised him. 

Check out the latest offering from Fetty Wap and let us know in the comments what your thoughts are on his latest track.

Quotable Lyrics

Skinny n***a, big homie 
Them money makers come out
So much money ’round my table
Ain’t no debating too much
I got some n***as out in B-More 
That get it shakin’ too much

Lil Tjay Throws A Parking Lot Party In The Jaunty ‘Oh Well’ Video

by

On Friday, Lil Tjay released his new album Destined 2 Win, following up his well-received debut True 2 Myself and his 2020 mixtape State Of Emergency. Over the weekend, he shared the latest video from the new project, “Oh Well,” which finds Tjay and his friends posted up at a gas station for a jaunty parking lot party. The New York native shows off his footwork over a beefy beat while Tjay reflects on his newly luxurious circumstances.

“Oh Well” arrives on the heels of singles “Run It Up,” “Born 2 Be Great,” “Headshot,” and “Calling My Phone,” the first four singles from Destined 2 Win. The album itself features 21 tracks and includes guest appearances from 6lack, Fivio Foreign, Moneybagg Yo, Offset, Polo G, Saweetie, Toosii, and Tyga, while running the gamut from celebratory anthems to introspective ballads.

Tweeting about the album a week before its release, Tjay explained the album’s title, writing,” I named the album Destined 2 Win cause I always felt like something in me was meant to be great. Even when sh*t tried stop me it never did and I kept getting up!!” A day before its release, Tjay also shared the first episode of a documentary detailing the album’s creation.

Young Dolph & Key Glock’s ‘Rain Rain’ Video Waves Away The Haters

by

In Young Dolph & Key Glock’s video for their latest single, “Rain Rain,” the two Memphis rappers show off their recreational activities, which include bowling and playing with Nerf guns. Dolph opens the video flipping through a luxury catalogue, while his protege hangs out with women bowling in a black light-bathed private alley in the basement of what looks like their “Aspen” cabin. Dolph returns for a final appearance waving a green-and-blue Nerf gun around in another of the massive house’s spacious hallways.

The rollout for the duo’s second joint album Dum And Dummer 2 has been lengthy and impressive, as they shared videos for multiple tracks from the album, including “Case Closed,” “Aspen,” “Sleep With The Roaches,” “Penguins,” and “Dummest & The Dummest.” In the latter video, the pair discusses their plans for the Aspen cabin, and joke around about scamming rich white women for their favored video location.

In addition to the string of videos officially on Dum And Dummer 2, Dolph and Glock also linked up for videos for “No Sense” and “Green Light,” which appear on Dolph’s album Rich Slave — his final solo album, provided he holds to his threat to retire.

Sauce Walka Drops Off New Project “Sauce Train”

by

Sauce Walka might be quick to stir up controversy in the rap game, he at least releases music that can back up that type of trash talking. The rapper’s prolific run over the years has been largely done independently without any major backing. Projects like Sauce Ghetto Gospel and its sequel, as well as numerous efforts from the Sauce Twinz, have been done at their own accord.

Sauce Walka emerged this week with the release of his latest body of work, Sauce Train. The rapper’s flamboyant personality shines across the 15-song project as he talks his sh*t, reflects on the streets and celebrates his numerous wins.  Sauce Walka holds down the majority of the project on his own but he does tap artists like Voochie P, Sauce Gohan, and El Trainn for some assistance.

Freddie Gibbs Details Insane Roster Of Producers For New Album

by

If you’re a fan of albums like Pinata, Bandana, and the Grammy-nominated Alfredo, then you’ll be incredibly excited to know that both Madlib and The Alchemist will be contributing to Freddie Gibbs’ next solo album. The rapper appeared on the cover of MixMag where he discussed his forthcoming project which is reportedly titled SSS, though it’s unclear what that stands for… yet.

The Alchemist and Madlib have proven to bring the best out of Freddie Gibbs but he’s expanding beyond those two producers for “another album of the year,” as he’d describe it. The elite group of producers that he’s enlisted for the project include Working On Dying, and Hit-Boy, as well as Mike Will Made It and Metro Boomin who he previously suggested was interested in working with him. “It’s another album of the year. I’m about to go and work with Pharrell next week. Madlib, Working On Dying, The Alchemist, Sevn Thomas, Hit-Boy, I just talked to [Mike Will Made It]. It’s gonna be the best produced album that I ever made,” he said.

Though nearing the age of 40, Gibbs insisted that his next album will continue to prove that he’s one of the best rappers to exist. “When rappers get to 30, some get bored, some aren’t inspired anymore,” he explained, adding that SSS will dive deeper into his compelling storytelling skills while reflecting on his unique position in the rap game.

Freddie Gibbs recently released his latest single, “Big Boss Rabbit” which he said was inspired by his loss to Nas at the Grammys. However, he admitted that it could’ve been worse in his recent cover story as he reflected on the results of the now-infamous 2013 Grammys Rap Album of the Year category winner. “If you’re gonna lose to somebody, you’re gonna want to lose to Nas,” he said. “Nas is a hall of fame MC. If anything it just shows how great I am to lose to such an MC. I could’ve lost to Macklemore or something.”

Are you excited for SSS?

T.I. & Tiny Respond Following Three New Sexual Assault Allegations

by

On April 6th, 2021, following three new sexual assault allegations from as many women, T.I. and Tiny’s lawyer Steve Sadow has officially issued a statement on behalf of his clients.  

“The Harrises are still waiting for the accusers to reveal themselves publicly,” Sadow explained, speaking with Billboard. “By continuing to hide behind anonymous allegations, the unnamed accusers effectively render themselves not credible and unworthy of belief. We say: Let the light shine on their identities so we can go about disproving these scurrilous accusations.”

Though the three women have opted to remain anonymous, Page Six reports that they have enlisted attorney Tyrone A. Blackburn, who has been representing several of the women leveling accusations against the Harrises. The same report cites a statement from Blackburn’s spokesperson, in which a 20-year-old woman claims the couple “pulled out a pill and forced her to swallow it” at a Miami nightclub in 2010. The woman claims that she was later taken to a hotel in South Beach, forced to “take a powdered substance from [T.I’s] finger,” and forcibly undressed by Tiny. 

“[Tiny] undressed her and proceeded to engage in sexual intercourse,” continues the statement. “She said her body was numb, the room was slowing down, and she could not consent.” This follows a report from several days ago, where two women came forward to accuse T.I. and Tiny of rape and sex trafficking. 

Despite the mounting number of accusations, many of which share similarities, T.I. and Tiny have continued to categorically deny their involvement. While no charges have been officially pressed as of yet, Blackburn’s spokesperson claims that the lawyer is “speaking with investigators from multiple jurisdictions to pursue criminal charges.” Stay tuned for further updates as this developing story unfolds.
