Travis Scott Gives Fans Unique Look Into The Making Of “Utopia”

Travis Scott shared a series of pictures from behind the scenes of the making of his latest album, Utopia, on Instagram, on Sunday. Among the photos are appearances from Pharrell, Rick Rubin, Dave Chappelle, and director Harmony Korine. On his Instagram Story, as caught by HipHopDX, he also remarked that the song, “My Eyes,” “means everything” to him. On the track, he seemingly touches on the 2022 Astroworld Festival tragedy that resulted in the deaths of numerous attendees.

In the comments section, Teezo Touchdown thanked Scott for the opportunity to work together. “Thank you sooooo much for everything congratulations,” he wrote. “1,000,000 more years to the flame XX.” Other fans called on Scott to drop a documentary about the making of the long-awaited project. “We need that utopia documentary now,” one top response reads. More users reacted to Mike Dean popping up in a neck brace in one of the pictures. One wrote: “He probably got hurt in the moshpit, and it ain’t no moshpit if there’s no injuries.”

50 Cent Blame’s “Diddy’s” Key To NYC For Keith Sweat’s Possibly Virtual Event Appearance

In a couple of weeks, 50 Cent will host his Humor & Harmony Weekend in Shreveport, Louisiana. The event has been boasting several fellow celebrity guests, including Keith Sweat. Recently, however, Fif took to Instagram to reveal that Sweat offered to attend the event virtually via Zoom instead of in person. He wasn’t feeling this at all, and called Sweat out for “tripping.”

According to him, Sweat’s hesitation to attend in person stems from the fact that he won’t be attending an important event for him a few days before his own. On August 3, Sweat is scheduled to accept the Entertainer’s Key to New York City. Previously, Diddy held the key to the city, but it was revoked after footage of him assaulting Cassie surfaced online.

50 Cent Trolls Keith Sweat

“This [ninja] @keithsweat is tripping,” 50 Cent captioned the post. “He getting Diddy’s Key to the city Aug’s 3 They blocking off streets in Harlem for him. Now if he don’t show up in Shreveport, we ain’t f*cking with him no more. @bransoncognac @lecheminduroi.” This prompted a response from Sweat, who took the opportunity to look back on Fif’s 1999 track “How to Rob,” in which he jokes about robbing him. “Hey Fif I gotta respond to you I’m definitely not coming to Shreveport now,” he wrote.

“I just remember you said this about me back in the day. I’ll see y’all in NYC Aug 3rd when I get to the key to the city. You need to be there with me and everything is squashed,” Sweat also added. Shortly after, 50 Cent replied, demanding that Sweat attend the event. “Oh no, I was tripping when I wrote that, yo a** better be in Shreveport [ninja],” he said. “We need that grown and sexy sh*t ! @keithsweat stop playing get your a** on da jet man.” What do you think of 50 Cent trolling Keith Sweat?

Soulja Boy Threatens Drake After Hearing Alleged “Super Soak” Diss

Drake can’t go more than a week without angering another rapper. The Toronto star is still reeling from the fallout of the Kendrick Lamar battle. “Not Like Us” is still near the top of the charts. He claimed that he’s going to get back to making hits for his fans, but he didn’t mention the subs he’d be throwing at his peers. Kai Cenat previewed a Drake and Lil Yachty collab during a recent Twitch stream, and many fans believe the 6 God was taking shots at Soulja Boy. Soulja seemingly agreed, and he took to IG Live to make his feelings on the matter clear.

Soulja Boy did not beat around the bush. He called Drake out by name and told him to stand on business if he wants to beef. “Drake, you up here talkin’ about some S.O.D. super soak,” the rapper posited. “Boy, stop playin wit me, boy. That better be a f*cking shout out, n**ga.” If he finds out that it was a diss, then Soulja Boy is going to declare war on Drake. “You better keep that sh*t light, my boy,” he asserted. “This your first and only warning.” After the warning was made clear, the “Crank That” star got down to talking tough. “This not gon’ be the best idea for you, family,” he told Drizzy. He then urged Drake to “speak on how you feel” so the two men can “get to it.”

Soulja Boy Has Been Criticizing Drake For Years

Soulja Boy and Drake have not had a good relationship over the years. There was a period in which they were cool. Soulja produced the beat for Drake’s classic “We Made It” in 2013, but outside of that, Soulja has made his hatred for the 6 God crystal clear. During his IG Live rant, he joked about Drizzy losing the aforementioned rap battle to Kendrick Lamar. “How the f*ck you let Kendrick Lamar cook yo a*s,” the rapper asked. “And then the first thing you respond is you tryna come at me.” Soulja Boy went on to restate that the OVO founder doesn’t want more smoke. “I’m tellin’ you, my n**ga, Imma get on your a*s,” he promised.

Soulja Boy’s reaction to the Drake and Lil Yachty leak makes sense. “Super Soak” is a title that evokes the rapper’s biggest hit to date. Drake also makes reference to “S.O.D.” aka “stacks on deck,” which is a phrase that Soulja helped popularize in the 2000s. Both of these phrases are weaved into the chorus of the song too, drawing further attention to their use. It’s possible that Drake could be paying tribute to his predecessor. Given how often he likes to throw subs, though, we understand Soulja’s suspicion.

YSL Woody Gets Confronted By Fan Who Stalked His IG Stories: Watch

YSL Woody has gained a lot of notoriety in recent years. The YSL affiliate isn’t a famous rapper, like his boss, Young Thug, but he’s proved to be a crucial part of the YSL RICO case. Most fans will have heard the name Kenneth Copeland, not realizing that he goes by the name “Woody,” or “Lil Woody.” He’s been described as the “star” witness against Thugger and the rest of the YSL organization in the ongoing trial. Based on a recent encounter with a fan, however, YSL Woody might want to be a bit more mindful of his surroundings.

The incident took place on July 25. YSL Woody was making a phone call when said woman walked up on him and began recording their interaction. Understandably, YSL Woody is freaked out. He asks how the woman knew where he was. She then reveals that she’s been tracking his Instagram Stories throughout the day. Not only that, but the woman drove two hours to confront him. “I was riding around looking for you,” the woman tells YSL Woody in the video. The “star” witness can’t believe it. He proceeds to rant about the interaction to the person on the phone.

A post shared by DJ Akademiks (@akademiks)

YSL Woody has made it clear that he will cooperate with the law. On July 3, Atlanta courts released a transcript of Woody’s conversation with the prosecution. In it, he voices his desire to avoid severe legal punishment. “I got family members watching this trial,” he explained. “I don’t want my nephew and them to hear the things that I may be involved in.” He also asserted that he was being honest with the prosecution. “I have never been truthful a day in my life until I just made this statement right now,” he claimed.

YSL Woody had a long rap sheet prior to his involvement in the YSL case. He was sentenced to federal prison for being a felon in possession of a firearm in 2018. He was arrested again in 2021, after a traffic stop in which a weapon was found on his person. A three hour interrogation video leaked in February, in which Woody alludes to betraying someone close to him. Many interpret the person to be Young Thug. “This n**ga here so smart, he moving different,” Woody told police. “It’s hard to keep up with how he moving. He’s not moving how he used to move … but he wants this n**ga so bad that he’s been reckless.”

Diddy Shows “Love” To His Youngest Daughter On Instagram Amid Legal Woes

It goes without saying that it’s been a rough few months for Diddy. The Bad Boy Records founder is currently at the center of a federal human trafficking investigation and is facing several lawsuits. He’s accused of sexual assault, physical abuse, and more. He was even seen attacking his ex-girlfriend Cassie in security footage from 2016 that surfaced earlier this year. Diddy wound up apologizing for that, though aside from denying the allegations, he hasn’t said much else about his ongoing legal woes.

Regardless, the mogul appears to be enjoying his summer. He returned to Instagram last week to celebrate his daughter Chance’s birthday with a heartfelt post. “My babygirl turned 18 today. I’m so proud of you Chance. I love you,” he captioned the photos. Now, he’s taken to the platform yet again, this time to celebrate another one of his seven children.

Diddy Shares New Photo On Instagram

Diddy’s latest Instagram post features a sweet photo of his youngest daughter Love, posing in a bright green dress and a purple lei. “FOREVER LOVE,” he wrote in his caption alongside some fun emojis. It’s unclear if they’re enjoying a family vacation or simply hanging out at home, but either way, it’s clear Diddy hasn’t let his legal battles ruin his good time. Earlier this month, for example, he was spotted on a white water rafting trip in Jackson Hole, Wyoming with some friends. After that, he wiped his entire Instagram profile and was later seen hopping on a private jet.

As one would expect, this didn’t sit right with Cassie’s lawyer Douglas Wigdor, who promptly put Diddy on blast. “I don’t think white water rafting will prepare him for the choppy waters that lie ahead,” he said.

Cam’ron And Gillie Da Kid Trade Jokes On Instagram About R. Kelly Photo

Cam’ron cracked some jokes about rapper and podcaster Gillie Da Kid by posting an edited photo of him next to the convicted sex offender and disgraced R&B star R. Kelly in a suggestive manner. In the picture, the singer has his arm around someone who the Million Dollaz Worth of Game co-host is edited onto while the two hold hands.

Cam’ron captioned the Instagram post: “Yo @gilliedaking f*ck going on?!! This where u get the phrase ‘nut ASS n-gga’? We gotta have a convo. 1. Where was y’all at? 2. Did he drug you[?] 3. Did you want to get on that bad? (Pause). I got more questions hit me bro.” Gillie, a longtime friend of Cam’s, replied in the comments section: “[laughing emoji] Dam homie don’t do that I told u I was playing.” Gillie’s co-host Wallo also chimed in with some jokes of his own, telling the “story” of what happened that night. “Cam it was a wild night, he woke up the next morning soaking wet in a closet filled with lollipops & whip cream. He was immediately transported to the nearest emergency room. He did a lot of therapy afterwards. We finally got him back to himself. For years anytime he would hear a R.Kelly song he would scream NOOOOOOOOOO, don’t do it!”

Cam’ron and Gillie Da Kid Trade Jokes On Instagram

Druski previously asked about the photo of Gillie and R. Kelly during an episode of Million Dollaz Worth of Game earlier this year, to which Gillie confirmed it was fake. However, he did tell a story about sleeping over at Kelly’s house with members of the Cash Money Records roster. He also jokingly accused podcast co-host Wallo of attending one of Diddy’s infamous parties, pointing to a random bald man in the background of a photo of Diddy and R. Kelly.

Cam’ron and Gillie have been friends for years, and he credited Gillie for helping him reconcile with Ma$e. Their reconciliation led to the creation of the It Is What It Is sports podcast, one of the more successful sports shows around today. Ma$e did not get in on the jokes, but one can assume he saw them. The two are very successful in their media careers, and it is nice to see longtime friends interacting as such.

50 Cent Teases Irv Gotti For Alleged Jealousy Of Nelly & Ashanti

50 Cent once again trolled his longtime rival Irv Gotti on Instagram on Tuesday, sharing a report that the Murder Inc. Records co-founder is jealous of Nelly and Ashanti’s relationship. While he’s since deleted the post, 50 originally captioned it: “LOL I HAD TO SHARE THIS LMAO.” Gotti previously claimed he and Ashanti dated for a stretch of time during an interview on Drink Champs in 2022.

A few months later, Ashanti spoke with Angie Martinez on the IRL podcast and flat-out denied the story. “Let’s clear this up, we dealt with each other, but was Irv my boyfriend? Was I his girlfriend? Never,” she said at the time. “Irv had several girlfriends, so I’m a little confused by the label and the description.”

Tuesday isn’t the first time 50 has trolled Gotti this month. He recently called out the music executive for facing a sexual assault lawsuit in Miami. “Oh no,” he wrote over that report. “In a lawsuit filed in Miami-Dade on July 11, a women accuses 54-year-old Gotti (born Irving Domingo Lorenzo) of sexually assaulting and abusing her on several occasions from 2020 to 2022 in Saint Martin, Miami, and Atlanta. The suit seeks a trial by jury. (The legal fee’s are gonna break his ass in half, he ain’t got no money). Welp that all folks.” The lawsuit was filed by an anonymous Jane Doe who claims she “has suffered severe emotional and psychological harm for which she had to be committed to a psychiatric ward.” She also accused Gotti of “slandering her to his vast social network in and around Los Angeles.”
