Playboi Carti Laughs At Adin Ross After Streamer Gets Mocked By Hitta J3
Playboi Carti is really keeping fans on their toes. The rapper spent years in silence. He rarely posted on social media, and never, ever released music. All that has changed in the last month. Playboi Carti has dropped two (!) singles, including a collab with The Weeknd. He’s regularly promoting his album on IG and Twitter. And he’s even taking time out of his day to make fun of Kick streamer Adin Ross. Ross has been making headlines as of late for beefing with L.A. artists, and Carti decided to get in on the fun.
The Adin Ross vs. L.A. saga started on September 26. The streamer called out a Kendrick Lamar affiliate for claiming he wasn’t welcome on the West Coast due to his friendship with Drake. Ross proceeded to deny these claims, and threatened to sue the alleged affiliate. Ross also posted a video in which he said he would have security physically assault him. The tension boiled over the following day. Hitta J3, an L.A. rapper who claims to be a Kendrick Lamar affiliate, mocked Adin Ross via Instagram Stories. He brought up the incident in which Playboi Carti went on Ross’ stream, then left after six minutes and proceeded to dip with $2 million of the streamer’s money.

Playboi Carti Had An Infamous Appearance On A Ross Stream
“No wonder Carti didn’t take your podcast serious,” Hitta J3 wrote. “You n**gas be kids with some fame & let it get to yall head Adin.” It was a pretty devastating diss. Playboi Carti’s involvement only made it hit harder. The rapper decided to repost Hitta’s post on his own IG timeline and included a laughing emoji. It clearly struck him as funny that Ross is still getting made fun for an incident that happened in February. It is pretty obvious that Playboi Carti doesn’t have a lot of respect for Ross as a tastemaker.
The rapper has mostly stayed out of the Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar battle, and while he didn’t tip his hand either way, this dig against Ross is the closest we’ve seen to him picking a side. Playboi Carti wasn’t the only artist who dissed Adin Ross on Friday. Smac TDE went online and claimed that he was annoyed by Ross’ tough talk. He claimed to have been a fan of the streamer in the past, but vowed to mace and attack Adin Ross’ security if he ever saw him in L.A.

NLE Choppa Drops A Moody Party Anthem With New Single “Gang Baby”
NLE Choppa is not a subtle emcee. He’s crass, aggressive and sexual in nearly all of his lyrics. It’s telling that his biggest single to date is called “SLUT ME OUT.” He knows what he wants, and he knows that his fans like hearing it. The rapper does offer some sonic switch ups, though, on his new album SLUT SZN. The subject matter is repetitive, sure, but the opening track, “Gang Baby,” is deceptively one of the most laid back and catchy songs NLE Choppa has put out in recent memory.
“Gang Baby” has an absolutely killer beat courtesy of producers BandPlay and Trgc. They provide NLE Choppa with something moodier and more ominous that he’s used to, but it works well. “Gang Baby” is slathered in push-and-pull synth lines that force the rapper to adjust his usual flow. He sounds a bit more slurred on the song, and his flow finds a catchy pocket within the beat. It helps, however, that the chorus is one of the catchiest on the entire album. “B-a-n-g baby, let me b-a-n-g baby,” NLE sings. “Let me f**k some. B-a-n-g baby, let me b-a-n-g baby. I’m in heat, come on.” “Gang Baby” really benefits from being the lead in song to “SLUT ME OUT 2” on the SLUT SZN album. It’s sonic whiplash, but both work for very different reasons.

BIA And Lil Yachty Vent Their Frustrations On New Single “Pissed Off”
BIA and Lil Yachty have very different vibes. Very different. BIA is all about cool, sharp deliveries and stylish flexing. She sounds great over minimal beats, coming off commanding without being over the top. Lil Yachty is the complete opposite. He has a goofy, instantly recognizable voice that is charismatic, if not really cool at any point. Putting these two together on a song could have gone very wrong. Fortunately, it worked out. “Pissed Off” is BIA’s latest offering, and it proves that she can have sonic chemistry with just about anybody.
The beat is extremely skeletal. It’s heavy on the bass, and doesn’t offer much in the way of musical variety. It provides a perfect soundscape, however, for BIA to wax poetic on the things that annoy her. She’s got plenty of them. “Who playin’ down on their goals?,” she raps. “Who really touchin’ their goals. New b*tches f**kin’ your bros (Who?). Who really fake as they chain?.” The rapper’s delivery gets a bit more agitated as the song progresses, but she never looses her cool veneer. Lil Yachty hops on for the second verse, and does a surprisingly good job keeping pace. His voice is nasally as ever, but he busts out some clever bars to help make his appearance an overall W.

Jack Harlow Savagely Roasts Druski On IG After Rubi Rose Scandal
Jack Harlow and Druski are a great duo. They’ve teamed up for interviews, podcast appearances and pretty much everything else over the years. Their friendship is built on a mutual appreciation of roasting each other. Harlow has been quiet in recent months, but he decided to come out of hiding to absolutely dunk on his buddy via Instagram. Druski decided to do a little flexing on social media, and the rapper felt the need to come over the top rope with a hilarious, albeit savage comment.
Druski posted a couple photos of himself with the caption “Never needed no PR.” The comedian added a laughing emoji at the end of his boastful message, so it was obvious that he was in on the silliness of the whole thing. Jack Harlow really kicked it up a notch, though. He proceeded to pack three different jokes into one comment. “Or a stylist,” he wrote. “Or a trainer, or a nutritionist.” The rapper added the hashtags #INDEPENDENT and #SELFMADE, furthering the notion that Druski is not bragging about much. It’s a hilarious response, and one that was made in good fun, given the dynamic these two seemingly have.

Druski recently made headlines for less than stellar reasons. Rubi Rose, the model who seemingly dated Druski for a short time, claimed she was only with him for clout. “And for the record I never slept with that man,” she tweeted. “N**ga paid for PR. Not the p**sy.” Rose followed up her tweet clarifying that she had no hard feelings toward Druski. “He is funny and nice tho,” she claimed. “I only give it up if I’m in love, ion care how much money a n**ga got.” Regardless of the reasoning, the revelation did not look great on the part of Druski.
Regardless, Jack Harlow and Druski seem close as ever. The two celebs talked about their friendship during a profile with Complex Magazine. Harlow claimed that they share a similar perspective, which is something that allowed them to click right away. “We’re both in tune. [We] both are present,” he noted. “I We see the world the same way…. He notices things about me that are in a blind spot of myself.” Druski returned the compliment, claiming him and Jack Harlow are similarly ambitious. “We’re in two different lanes, but we’re doing the same transition,” he concluded.

Karrahbooo Claims That “Soulless People” Are Trying To Ruin Her Career
Karrahbooo can’t seem to catch a break. She made waves initially for her music, and her involvement with Concrete Boys. Since parting ways with the group, though, Karrahbooo’s brand has become social media controversy. She can’t seem to go more than a week or two without beefing with her former label boss, Lil Yachty. The rapper took to Instagram on September 27, though, and made ominous comments about the state of her career. She claimed that people high up on the food chain are silencing her.
The post appeared on Karrahbooo’s Instagram Story. DJ Akademiks managed to grab a screenshot of the rapper’s statement, and it doesn’t look/sound good. Karrahbooo flat out states that “soulless people” are in control of her career. “It never goes good,” she claimed. “These people will do anything to they can to hurt u and make you look crazy in the media.” The rapper doesn’t mention anybody by name, but she goes on to level more accusations at them. Karrahbooo believes the powers that be encourage fans to turn their backs on the artists they once loved when the artist becomes difficult.

Karrahbooo Suggests She’s A ‘Victim’ Of The Industry
“When these victims try and tell the truth they just end up receiving so much backlash,” she claimed. “No one believes them.” The most ominous aspect of the post, however, came towards the end. The rapper alluded to the fact that most “victims” don’t get to tell their story until years later, when their career is already ruined. She doesn’t directly correlate her situation with this scenario, but it’s not a stretch to make the connection yourself.
“Nobody ever says anything until ten years later, Karrahbooo alleged. “One person decides to speak up and then everyone else come [sic] forward then all of a sudden everyone cares and feels bad.” She does not want to become one of these people, however. As she notes in her closing statement, ten years and an outpouring of sympathy does not make up for a derailed career. “It’s too late then,” she asserted. It’s difficult to parse what Karrahbooo is a “victim” of, given that she has been vague about her experiences with Lil Yachty and Concrete Boys. Hopefully more information comes to light. And soon.

Here’s Why 50 Cent Passed On Diddy Parties: ‘I’m not with all that freaky sh**’
As we all know 50 Cent has long been one of the few rappers outspoken about the allegations of sexual misconduct surrounding Diddy. He has repeatedly trolled the music mogul, sharing memes involving baby oil and teasing the idea of a documentary about the accusations. Earlier this year, 50 posted a mock poster for a potential docuseries titled “Diddy Do It?” and has continued to hint at creating content around the subject.
Now in a recent interview on The Enthusiast Podcast with Lincoln Salazar, 50 Cent discussed various topics, including his planned Netflix docuseries on Diddy. Salazar jokingly referred to the project as “Diddy Do I?”—a cue that 50 took to humorously respond, “He did it. No, he did it. He did it,” nodding with a mischievous smile. He emphasized, “And I’m the only one who’s been vocal about this long before.”
Sometimes it’s cool to be basic or normal
LOL • https://t.co/jnbpt4Vpb3 pic.twitter.com/z6GDtHLibs
— 50cent (@50cent) September 26, 2024
What’s more, 50 Cent further explained his distance from Diddy’s infamous parties, adding, “But I also didn’t participate. I also didn’t go to those parties. So a lot of the celebrity culture that you don’t hear saying anything is because they participated to a degree.”
Get this, when asked why he stayed away from those events, the Queens rapper didn’t hold back: “I’m just not with all that freaky sh–. Like, all of the stuff he’s doing, I’m not into that type of stuff. I’m just a little more, maybe you could say, basic or normal.”
Diddy wasn’t the only one getting smoke. He also took a jab at TMZ for their documentary TMZ Presents: The Downfall of Diddy on Tubi, remarking, “It’s a bad situation, but it hasn’t happened yet. So how could you document it when it hasn’t happened yet? That’s forecasting.”

Oh, Really? Shaq Leaves LeBron Off His All Time Starting Five List
Huh? Like, wait, what? Shaquille O’Neal, one of the most legendary centers of all time and Hall of Famer, recently shared his all-time NBA starting five—and it didn’t include LeBron James, a notable omission given James’ status as one of the greatest players in basketball history.
These lists are getting carried away and this one is no exception.
Naturally and deservedly so, O’Neal honored his late Lakers teammate Kobe Bryant by placing him in the lineup, he chose Julius Erving and Karl Malone, another former Laker, as his forwards. O’Neal also, unsurprisingly, picked himself for his own squad.
Obviously LeBron James is often regarded by many as the greatest or one of the top two or three players in NBA history, was left off the list despite being the league’s all-time leading scorer and displaying unmatched longevity in the game. However, James’ 4-6 record in the NBA Finals and some criticisms of his performance in clutch moments might explain why O’Neal chose Erving over him—or even why he didn’t opt for a player like Larry Bird.
Yea, yea, finals yea, yea. They need to chill and look at the entire body of work. LeBron is going into year 22 as the oldest player in the league and still a top 10, easy. But we digress.
O’Neal has been vocal about his opinions on a variety of NBA-related topics. He recently criticized Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert, labeling him as the worst player in the league, though he later clarified that his comments were influenced by Gobert’s large contract.
While O’Neal’s decision to exclude James from his all-time starting five raises questions, it also reflects the differing perspectives within the basketball world on what defines greatness.
Yawn.

Snowd4y And Drake Drop Ridiculous Music Video For “Wah Gwan Delilah”
Drake has been moving in slightly puzzling ways since the Kendrick Lamar battle. Some of his moves have worked. The “100 Gigs” drops have been major online events. They’ve also given fans insight into some of their favorite Drake albums. Other moves have left us collectively puzzled. “Wah Gwan Delilah” is at the top of this list. The 6 God decided to team up with comedian/artist Snowd4y for a Plain White T’s cover so baffling that the band thought it was a parody. And now we have a music video for it.
Drake and Snowd4y didn’t shoot a live action video for their cover. That would have been pushing it. They did, however, decide to drop an animated music video as ridiculous as their accented take on the song. An animated Snowd4y strums an acoustic guitar amidst various landmarks in Toronto. The video real kicks off, though, when animated Drizzy shows up. The rapper is inexplicably styled to look like he did during his Views era, rather than his current day vibe. He’s even rocking a vintage OVO hoodie. It’s unclear why Drake didn’t want his braids and bulky 2020s fits animated, but we digress.

Drake Pokes Fun At Himself In New Animated Video
The music video has some genuinely funny moments. Drake and OVO Chubbs freaking out over text messages the former received, and Drake posted up on a bed with the titular Delilah. The animation style is reminiscent of South Park, right down to the minimal movement and facial expressions. To further sell the Views-era, though, the music video decides to perch animated Aubrey on top of the CN Tower that graces the album cover.
Drake has been dropping lots of loosies over the last few months. He’s had collabs with Latto, Playboi Carti and Lil Yachty. Some of them have well-liked by fans. It’s baffling, then, that “Wah Gwan Delilah” is the one that got a music video. Sure, it’s animated, but the song came out months ago. It’s a puzzling for Drake to bring attention back to the least-liked song he’s dropped in 2024. That said, he’s doing his own thing. We just hope that Drizzy and PARTYNEXTDOOR album is coming soon.
