Toosii Discusses Shaq Infamously Entering His Girlfriend’s DMs

by

Earlier this year, North Carolina rapper Toosii had a brief one-sided beef with NBA Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal. Shaq, who’s been living the bachelor life since getting divorced in 2011, is infamous for his willingness to approach women. He sent Toosii’s girlfriend Samaria Davis a message that read “can I have that baby.” As there was no punctuation in Shaq’s message, Toosii interpreted it as Shaq asking for his son. Toosii blasted Shaq for the message, calling him a “weird ass oldhead.” He later walked it back when he realized what Shaq actually meant, but still criticized him for sliding into his girlfriend’s DMs.

In a new interview with The Breakfast Club, Charlamagne asked Toosii about the spat, and he explained his thought process. “When I read that, I thought he was talking about my son. If I had known he was talking about my BM, on God, I never would’ve said that,” Toosii said. When DJ Envy asked if they spoke after, Toosii confirmed they had not had a conversation. He pointed to Shaq’s net worth and social status as reasons why the two have never been able to speak.

Toosii also explained that his girlfriend Samaria Davis, who is a model with over a million Instagram followers and recently launched a YouTube channel, always shows him who tries to slide into her DMs. He never felt threatened by Shaq or concerned that she would accept his offer, but he was more offended that Shaq even asked the question at all, if his words on the Breakfast Club interview are to be believed.

Toosii released his latest album, Jaded, on October 4. The 36-minute album features appearances from Kehlani, Muni Long, and Gunna, the latter of whom delivered a smooth feature on the track “Champs Elysses.” He made the rounds on New York hip-hop stations to promote it, including an appearance on Hot 97 that came shortly after his interview with Charlamagne, Envy, and Jess Hilarious. The full half-hour interview is available to listen to on The Breakfast Club‘s YouTube channel.

Powers Pleasant Grabs 21 Different Features For “Life Sucks LP

by

Pro Era affiliate, producer, and DJ, Powers Pleasant, has delivered his sophomore project, Life Sucks. This the follow-up to the 30-year-old’s 2019 EP, Life Is Beautiful. That tape went on to feature the likes of now frequent collaborators Joey Bada$$ (Pro Era), Denzel Curry, A$AP Ferg, CJ Fly, Aaron Rose, Meechy Darko, and more. All of those same guests are now on Life Sucks, which can sort of be viewed as Powers Pleasant’s debut LP.

Leading up to the release of this tight 13-song tracklist, the Melt My Eyez See Your Future beat maker put out two singles. The first was the boastful and triumphant “Rumble” with Mr. Bada$$. Honestly, it should’ve been the tape’s opener, but Denzel Curry and Hannah Mundine’s “Entro” does the job too. Then, in September, Pleasant would deliver “Shmoke”, an East Coast trap/Jersey club mix that’s all gas and no brakes. In fact, that’s what most of this tape is. Plesant’s selection of guests (21 unique ones!) certainly helps make this a fun and easy-to-digest listening experience. Give it a spin with the links to your favorite streaming services below.

Don Cheadle Reveals Kendrick Lamar Declined Role In His Miles Davis Biopic

by

During his recent appearance on Way Up With Angela Yee, Don Cheadle opened up about his part in Kendrick Lamar’s 2017 “DNA” video. He also took the opportunity to reveal that he offered Kendrick a role in his Miles Davis biopic, Miles Ahead. Unfortunately, Kendrick turned it down, but it seems like he had a solid reason.

“To talk about acting, when we shot [the ‘D.N.A.’] video, Kendrick was so with it. […] He stayed in character the whole video. […] He was really committed,” Cheadle explained, “He was someone that I had thought about casting in my movie I did, Miles Ahead, and have him play the role of Junior.”

Don Cheadle Recalls Considering Kendrick Lamar To Play Junior In Miles Ahead

“We talked about it for a long time and ultimately he said, ‘I don’t think I’m ready to do that. I’m kind of working on a project right now and I have to see that through and I also don’t wanna come in here halfway,’ and I was like, ‘No, I get it,’” Cheadle continued. “And it was [his 2015 album] To Pimp A Butterfly and I’m like, ‘I think you made the right choice on that one!’”

Now, several years later, Kendrick is preparing to make his acting debut. He’s set to appear in a film with South Park co-creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker. They were spotted filming earlier this week in Pomona, California. Variety reports that the film will hit theaters next summer. It will follow “a young Black man interning as a slave reenactor at a living history museum who discovers that his white girlfriend’s ancestors once owned his,” according to a post from Discussing Film. What do you think of Don Cheadle revealing that Kendrick Lamar declined a role in his 2015 Miles Davis biopic? Does this surprise you or not?

Pharrell, Lil Yachty, And Swae Lee Enter The ‘Doodleverse’ With Their Futuristic New Single

by

Pharrell Williams’ plate is always filled with a new creativity venture. Although this year’s installment of his Something In The Water Festival has been postponed until 2025, the “Airplane Tickets” musician has kept busy with others things. Most recently, his Lego Movie about his life, Piece By Piece, is heading to theaters soon.

But his exploration into animated worlds is far from over. Today (October 4), Pharrell teamed up with Lil Yachty, and Swae Lee for the futuristic new single, “Doodleverse.” On the track, each entertainer lets their imagination run wild while bringing in listeners to an already established animated universe.

“On the other side when you realize that nothin’ is unobtainable / On the other side when you realize that nothin’ is unachievable / On the other side when you realize that dreams are reality / And all the Doodles live happily / And colors blend together magically,” sings the trio.

Pharrell and Lil Yachty expand on that positive momentum on the song’s bridge, singing: “So many things get lost in grey / Like details and things that we’re tryin’ to say / All colors come from black and space / And then make white when they pixelate.”

Listen to Pharrell’s new song “Doodleverse” featuring Lil Yachty and Swae Lee above.

Funk Flex Refuses To Believe The Allegations That Diddy Sexually Assaulted 120 People

by

Amid the federal case against Diddy for alleged sex trafficking and racketeering, various other allegations emerged over the past year or so. In fact, one of the big lawsuits involves his alleged sexual assault of 120 individuals, which his circle and legal team have firmly denied in addition to all the other allegations, save for the Cassie video. For example, Sean Combs’ ex bodyguard accused his alleged assault victim of making him a “scapegoat.” But some media figures are also skeptical of this particularly high number of allegations. Funk Flex recently posited on social media that 120 is going too far, although he condemned the Bad Boy mogul’s documented physical abuse of Cassie (that footage appears in the video below, so viewer discretion is advised).

“120 people sexually assaulted by Diddy, for real?” Funk Flex suggested. “120 people, sexually assaulted by Diddy. Stop. Just say you’re broke and you need money. You know what we don’t like here, you know the situation we don’t like. That video with Cassie and Diddy was an awful video to watch, and that shouldn’t happen to any woman. But assaulting 120 people sounds stupid.”

Funk Flex Speaks On Diddy

Many people were critical of Funk Flex’s perspective because of the span of time that these lawsuits represent and because of Diddy’s generally massive reach in terms of power and resources. However, this criticism does not reflect an actual verdict or statement of fact concerning the allegations, as they all remain unconfirmed and accusatory. As such, it’s important to make that distinction and factually assess these claims as allegations, not proof or conviction. The New York executive and prosecutors will each make their case and fans recognize that these abhorrent allegations could have happened, not that they did happen. Only a court of law will be able to reach a conclusion as to their veracity.

Meanwhile, speaking of the Diddy case, his federal trial now has a new judge overseeing it. U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian will reportedly now preside over the case, but no explanation has yet emerged at press time as to why Judge Andrew L. Carter stepped back.

Usher Jokingly Blamed For Halle Bailey & DDG’s Breakup

by

Yesterday, DDG took to his Instagram Story with an emotional statement, revealing that he and Halle Bailey have broken up. “After much reflection and heartfelt conversations, Halle and I have decided to go our separate ways,” he wrote in part. “The decision was not easy, but we believe it’s the best part forward for both of us. I cherish the time we’ve spent together and the love we shared.”

The news came as an unfortunate surprise to fans, who had just watched the former couple welcome their first child last year. DDG didn’t share why the two of them decided to split, but he described the separation as amicable. “Despite the changes in our relationship, our love for each other remains deep and true,” he explained. “We are still best friends and adore each other. As we focus on our individual journeys and our roles as co-parents, we cherish the bond we’ve built and the beautiful moments we’ve shared.”

As expected, social media users are flooding Twitter/X with their reactions to the split, and weighing in on what they believe might have caused it. Many are even jokingly blaming Usher. Recently, the R&B icon tried to feed the Little Mermaid star a cherry during a performance, which DDG promptly snatched away.

The moment appeared to have been all in good fun, though it would be far from the first time Usher caused a rift in someone’s relationship. For those who don’t recall, Keke Palmer popped out for his Las Vegas residency last year, which ultimately ended her relationship with the father of her child Darius Jackson. He publicly shamed her for her outfit, resulting in countless jokes and memes about Usher ending relationships.
