Juvenile Goes Ballistic On The NFL For Lil Wayne Super Bowl Snub
It’s safe to say that the internet is pretty split on the decision to invite Kendrick Lamar to perform at Super Bowl 59. Drake fans are definitely seething right about now, especially with the potential for him to be dissed on one of the biggest national stages in the world. However, it seems that the majority of the people who disagree with this choice are Lil Wayne fans. With the NFL championship in New Orleans for the third time this century, supporters of his don’t understand the snub.
In just the five days since the reveal, we have seen multiple friends of his speak out against it. Birdman, Weezy’s daughter Reginae Carter, Master P, and and Cam’ron are just a few. Now, you can add fellow Hot Boys member Juvenile to that growing list. According to a repost from The Shade Room, the “Back That Azz Up” songwriter took to social media to share his passionate thoughts.

Juvenile Wants Roger Goodell To Step Up For Lil Wayne
View this post on Instagram
Instead of calling out JAY-Z and Roc Nation, Juvenile takes aim at the NFL and its controversial commissioner, Roger Goodell. “My hatred is toward the NFL”, he begins. “I feel like y’all should step in. Y’all have yet to put a hip-hop artist from New Orleans on the damn Super Bowl. I feel like every time y’all come here y’all should have someone from our city on it”. He continues, “But this time it hard when you don’t have Lil Wayne… I don’t see how the f*** y’all don’t have Lil Wayne doin’ the Halftime Show. Somebody that has a whole bunch of f***ing hits, and somebody that really deserves it, and somebody that can bring out multiple artists of all genres”. Juvenile signs off with a warning, saying, “So this goes out to you Roger Goodell. You comin’ into our city, suckin’ up our culture, and makin’ up all of this money… and leavin’ us dry… Gotta stop”.
What are your thoughts on Juvenile’s rant on the NFL being the one to blame for Lil Wayne’s Super Bowl snub? Do you think the commissioner will do anything about this? Are people’s frustrations about this decision to have Kendrick Lamar as the performer valid, why or why not? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

Nicki Minaj Clarifies Her Stance On Kendrick Lamar After Heated JAY-Z Rant
Nicki Minaj says she loves and respects Kendrick Lamar, despite yesterday’s rant about the NFL and JAY-Z choosing him to perform at the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show instead of her longtime collaborator, Lil Wayne. She had complained that the league should’ve honored Wayne, considering the game is being held in his hometown of New Orleans.
“You can love & respect Kendrick and still love & respect Wayne. Even Kendrick loves & respects Wayne. Every real rapper loves & respects Wayne,” Nicki wrote. When one user replied to her post claiming Republic Records called her up, she countered: “LOLLLLL they did? Today? If they did call me I def didn’t get the call chi. Maybe they left a vm. You must rlly not know Oniqua hungry pie. This rly just shows that you’re caged & have never been able to simply do & say as you please w/o any fear (other than the fear of GOD) stopping you.”

The Kendrick Lamar Mural In Compton Was Vandalized With Gang Graffiti That Was Mistaken For A Pro-Drake Message
According to XXL, a video has surfaced on social media of someone vandalizing a Compton-based mural of Kendrick Lamar with gang graffiti. While the tags represent a local Mexican-American street gang, the graffiti was mistaken for a pro-Drake message after some fans interpreted the “CVTF” as an “OVO.” (A reminder, some of you are really not like us, and should keep out of hood politics, thinking it’s entertainment.)
The mural, on the wall of Honduras Restaurant Mi Sabor, depicts Kendrick being honored with the key to the city in 2016 and accepting his Best Rap Album Grammy for his album Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers in 2023, along with a reference to his Good Kid, MAAD City cover. It’s easy to see why some fans — perhaps the ones who should be wearing 50 SPF sunblock at all times, even in the winter — would want to interpret the vandalism as the latest extension of the rap beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar. After all, it’d be fair to say that plenty of Drake fans are still sore about the drubbing he received at the hands of his former collaborator.
However, it seems, although Kendrick is very much a hometown hero, even he isn’t bigger than hood politics — or ratchet ass kids trying to make a name for themselves.

ScHoolBoy Q is coming off the album Blue Lips which many feel to be the best of the entire year. Meanwhile, The Alchemist has also been having an amazing year. In fact, his biggest song was part of the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef, “Meet The Grahams.” Yesterday, it was revealed that this morning, they would be premiering a new collaboration called “Ferraris In The Rain.” Moreover, it was revealed that The Alchemist is dropping an album called The Genuine Articulate.

Blueface Makes Institutional Transition Following Sentencing Decision
Authorities have reportedly transferred Blueface to North Kern State Prison in Delano, California, where he will serve out his four-year sentence for violating the terms of his probation. He had been behind bars at Los Angeles Men’s Central Jail since his initial January arrest. The probation stemmed from a 2021 case for assault.
Despite the lengthy sentence, Blueface expects to spend significantly less time in the California prison. Speaking with Gina View and DJ Hed for a recent interview on their radio show, Effective Immediately, he explained: “I got a year credit, so that goes down to three years. And I gotta do 33 percent of that.” He noted that he thinks March or April of next year is a realistic timeframe for his release. As for how he’s doing, he added: “I’m chilling, man. I’m in my environment…It’s like a little break from responsibility…I cut all my hair off I’m about to get the weight cracking. I’m like 180 right now; I’ve never been 180 before. I’m getting sized up, I’m about to bounce out looking like a dalmatian.”

Despite being able to get out of jail while awaiting her next court date on September 27th, Rock ended up missing her son’s first birthday. “Missing a significant event like a first birthday can bring feelings of sadness or regret, but it’s also an opportunity to reflect on the continuous love and care you provide every day,” she wrote on Instagram. “The forgiving ourselves. Moving forward, cherish the moments you have, and remember that God’s grace is sufficient for every need.”

Young Dolph’s Murder Case Remains Puzzling Following Latest Update
The murder case of beloved Memphis rapper Young Dolph continues to raise a lot of eyebrows. Over just the course of this year, the trial has seen multiple delays, and it’s led to a lot of people calling out the Justice System. In fact, the MC’s partner, Mia Jaye, went on an explosive rant venting her and a lot of others assumed frustrations. “My love’s life was taken… And to be left behind to see no one be held accountable in the [court] of law for the act… Is INS*NE. Our family has witnessed lenient bonds being granted, absurd requests for the defendants to get a venue motion, freedom, more time to create a stronger defense, witnessed songs made, defendants enjoying life while on H.A… All while our loved one is 6feet deep”.
Unfortunately, her, the rest Dolph’s loved ones, and fans alike are going to have to witness even more court hearings. According to AllHipHop, the hopeful final trial will go down on Monday, September 23. Originally, this date was only going to be for the alleged shooters, Justin Johnson and Cornelius Smith. However, after an appearance in court yesterday by the supposed organizer of the rapper’s murder, Hernandez Govan, he will be joining Johnson and Smith.

Young Dolph’s Murder Trial Will Resume In Two Weeks
However, it’s unknown if Govan will be tried alone on the same day, or alongside his alleged assailants. Judge Jennifer Mitchell gave off the impression that it’s the latter, though. So, local Memphis news station FOX 13 reached out to prosecutors to get any sort of confirmation on the matter. However, the results were futile. “We are unable to release those specifics at this time – in order to not compromise investigation”, they said. Govan, Johnson and Smith all are staring at first-degree murder charges.
