Summer Walker has intervened on behalf of YTB Fatt after the Arkansas rapper’s track “Secrets” was removed from streaming platforms due to an unauthorized Alicia Keys sample. “Wow that was my new favorite song @aliciakeys put it backkkk,” Walker wrote in the comments of a Neighborhood Talk post reporting the track’s removal. “Secrets” samples Keys’ 2003 song “Diary”. However, Keys is yet to respond to Walker’s request.
Elsewhere, Keys, alongside her husband Swizz Beatz, announced in January that they will be displaying some of their art collection at a special exhibition in Brooklyn. “Been holding this incredible news close to the chest,” the couple wrote in their caption. “Now, it’s our pleasure to officially announce GIANTS: Art from the Dean Collection of Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys opening on February 10 @brooklynmuseum! Tickets to #GiantsBkM available now!!!!!! A MUST SEE SHOW. Link in bio Let’s get 2024 started!! A BIG special thank you to all the GIANTS in the show!!! @TheDeanCollection,” the couple wrote on Instagram.
Swizz has been collecting art since the 1990s. Furthermore, he served on the board of directors for the Brooklyn Museum, where the collection is being exhibited, between 2015 and 2023. A majority of the paintings on display will be from Black artists. “The reason why we doubled down on African American art is because people weren’t collecting it. Things flow a little better now,” Swizz told the New York Times for a piece about the exhibit. However, the curator of the museum’s modern and contemporary art noted that Swizz and Keys were forgotten figures in the art collecting world.
Earlier this year, Monica was announced as one of the opening acts for part of Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday 2 world tour. The tour got started earlier this month which has created a lot more attention directed at the R&B darling than she’s bee used to for a while. When some of that attention manifested in negative ways, however, she felt the need to respond. In particular, she seemed upset by the claim that she goes through romantic partners often and recorded a long response video to the claims.
In the video, she begins claiming that “all of a sudden, I’m for the streets” before rattling off numerous reasons why she isn’t. She claims that in her most high-profile public relationship, she stuck around for so long that fans were even telling her it was overdue time to leave. She then listed off some of her relationships, insisting that even the shortest ones were a stable commitment. All of that evidence seems to leave her dumbfounded with how some fans can pick the specific criticism to level against her. Check out the full video response she shared below.
In the comments, fans have a variety of reactions. Some feel that her even acknowledging the criticisms was unnecessary. “being 40 plus explaining your body count is WILD” one of the top comments reads. Others come to the defense of the R&B singer. “Listen leave Monica the f alone okay we’re not playing about her” and Monica was an internet fav until she decided to work with someone y’all ‘don’t like.’ Smh two other comments read.
This isn’t even the first time she’s had to clap back at fans recently. She took to Instagram comments earlier this week. Her comments fired back at fans claiming she got a new boyfriend too quickly. What do you think of Monica’s response to fans claiming that she’s “for everyone? ” Do you think she does a good job at refuting the allegations? Let us know in the comment section below.
Florida rapper Jackboy, also known as Pierre Delince, has unfortunately found himself in trouble with the law again. Only a few months ago, the rapper was put behind bars on burglary charges. On Tuesday night, the rapper encountered a new legal hurdle following a traffic stop in Port St. Lucie. The incident led to his arrest on multiple felony drug and weapons charges. Here’s what we know about the situation.
The events leading to Jackboy’s arrest unfolded when two Port St. Lucie police detectives conducted a traffic stop on a black Chevrolet Suburban driven by Delince. The detectives noticed several infractions, including excessively tinted windows and the smell of burnt marijuana emanating from the vehicle. Additionally, The “Havin My Way” rapper’s actions, such as using FaceTime while driving and evading the police after a stoplight, aroused suspicion.
Upon pulling over the Suburban, the detectives observed a handgun inside the vehicle. Given that Delince was a convicted felon with a suspended driver’s license, they promptly took him into custody. A subsequent search of the SUV revealed further incriminating evidence, including a loaded Glock 19 handgun with an extended magazine, marijuana, and cannabis-related products.
Charges & Allegations
Delince, aged 26, faces a litany of charges, including possession of a weapon by a felon, use or display of a firearm during a felony, possession of marijuana over 20 grams, as well as multiple misdemeanors. Additionally, he was found to have violated an active protection order prohibiting him from possessing firearms due to a prior incident.
The search of Delince’s vehicle yielded significant evidence against him. Besides the loaded handgun and marijuana, authorities discovered various cannabis products, including vape pens and THC-infused drinks. The presence of drug paraphernalia further solidified the case against him.
As a documented gang member with a history of criminal activity, Delince’s legal situation is complex. In addition to the charges related to firearms and drug possession, he faces consequences for driving with a suspended license and violating a court order. Presently, he is being held without bond at the St. Lucie County Jail.
Conclusion
Jackboy’s arrest underscores the intersection of celebrity culture and criminal justice. Despite his fame as a rapper with millions of Instagram followers, he finds himself entangled in serious legal trouble. The case serves as a reminder of the repercussions individuals face when allegedly engaging in unlawful activities, irrespective of their social status. As the legal proceedings unfold, the public awaits further developments in this high-profile case.
Flo Milli only continues to climb her way to the top. Her viral 2023 single “Never Lose Me” has been racking up streams by the million as of late.

The recently unveiled statue of Kobe Bryant outside Crypto.com Arena has been revealed to contain several egregious typos. German basketball journalist Andre “Dre” Voigt published photos on social media showing that the engraving of the box score for Kobe’s 81-point game was riddled with errors. Jose Calderon’s name is misspelled as “Calderson”. Von Wafer’s name is misspelled as “Vom”. Finally, an instance of Coach’s Decision is misspelled as “decicion”. A subsequent report by ESPN noted that the Lakers had been made aware of the errors and would rectify them in the near future.
The statue, just the eighth in Lakers history, was unveiled on February 8 as part of a larger celebration to commemorate the team legend. The Lakers also wore their Kobe-designed Black Mamba jersey variant for the first time since Kobe’s death in early 2020.
Elsewhere, Caitlin Clark paid tribute to one of the greats, posing for photos to replicate Kobe’s iconic trophy poses. Shot by Bri Lewerke, Clark hit the poses that came from Kobe’s three-peat in 2002. Iowa captured their third consecutive Big Ten title in a wild OT thriller against Nebraska. Trailing by 11 at the half, Iowa needed a huge 30-point second half from Caitlin Clark to force OT. In the extra period, the Hawkeyes were finally able to pull away from the relentless Huskers. With the win, Iowa has likely captured a No. 1 seeding during next week’s Selection Sunday. Iowa had a fairly easy run to the title game, beating Penn State and Michigan, both by double digits.
The automatic bids for the women’s bracket are quickly filling up. UT Martin was the first to secure a bid. Despite losing the OVC title game to Southern Indiana, the Skyhawks are going dancing due to Southern Indiana’s postseason ineligibility. Meanwhile, Notre Dame, South Carolina, USC, and Texas won the other Power 5 berths alongside Iowa. However, the biggest shock of the conference tournaments was in the WCC, where Portland, for the second year in a row, stunned ranked Gonzaga in the title game. Conference tournaments run until Sunday, where the final winners will be chosen just hours before the tournament bracket is announced.
Blu, one of the most talented rappers when it comes to both flow and writing, is back with a new trio of cuts for us. 2024 has proven to be a busy one already, as the Los Angeles California artist has dropped a single, an EP, and a collaborative album. Going back to that EP for a second, that was also a team effort. He worked with producer Shafiq Husayn to bring along We Bang. Similar to Blu and Shafiq’s newest set of tracks, Roll Up, We Bang included three recordings as well.
According to Blu and Nature Sounds’ Instagram accounts, both of these small care packages will be a part of something larger. “Blu and Shafiq Husayn are now announcing Out Of The Blue, a new album set for release on March 29th.” This will mark their second tape together, going back to the 2018 mixtape The Blueprint. While “We Bang” was the lead single, that drop also had its instrumental and “Brains Blue” paired with it.
“Roll Up” does the same thing, as Blu and Shafiq have given us “Very Amazing” too. The first of the two is very chill with excellent rhymes from Blu over a bassy beat. “Very Amazing” is a different vibe, as the instrumental is more scattered and unorthodox. Be sure to check out the tracks above.

Florida rapper Jackboy is now facing some pretty serious charges following an overnight arrest. According to CBS 12News in Florida the rapper was pulled over in Port St. Lucie last night. Police claim that he was pulled because his windows were too tinted and they could smell marijuana coming from the vehicle. They also claim that they witnessed him call someone on FaceTime while driving before eventually stopping his car. They pulled over the rapper, whose real name is Pierre Delince just after 11 pm.
The police account continues, claiming that one of the detectives knew Jackboy was a convicted felon driving with a suspended license. They used that as cause to search the van where they report finding a glock-19 with an extended magazine that was loaded. They also claim to have found quantities of marijuana and cannabis-related products. Delince was taken into custody and hit with counts of possession of a weapon by a felon, use or display of a firearm during a felony, possession of marijuana over 20 grams, as well as multiple misdemeanors. Check out the police’s original report on his arrest below.
Jackboy is no stranger to trouble with the law, even in just the past few months. It was just in September when he was last arrested, though on much less severe charges. He was hit with allegations of burglary and cyber stalking following some kind of domestic dispute. Back in December, the rapper’s brother was shot multiple times in front of his home and left in serious condition.
Despite early reports when the story broke Jackboy himself was uninjured in the incident. Earlier this month police claimed that the beef he had with Kodak Black was the root cause of a different fatal shooting neither were involved in. What do you think of Jackboy being arrested with cannabis products and a loaded gun after a traffic stop? Do you think he could face serious time behind bars for the offenses? Let us know in the comment section below.
