In the wake of the announcement hoards of fans took to social media to show their love for the move and their anticipation for the upcoming album. One person who wasn’t happy with the move was Azealia Banks. She took to Instagram to express her issues with how the move appears. “Them critics are not just going to accept an ugly blond wig and , bullying from jay-z !!! It’s giving big time musical grift. Yes black girls can make country music … but you’re just really not hitting the button.” she said.

Now that the album is finally out, Banks is once again sharing her thoughts. She asked on social media if she was about to eat her words before giving the album a first listen, but quickly followed it up saying “absolutely not.” “Themes r redundant. The lyrics are really forced. Album is too long… Plus who is this imaginary adversary sis thinks still wants to hump on j in 2024” her response begins. She doesn’t entirely hate the record and even picks out some elements of it she likes. But she concludes her judgement by revealing that she dozed off while listening to the album. Check out her full Instagram post about the record below.

Kehlani’s Gym Video Sparks Fan Praise

Last year, Kehlani spoke up with unequivocal support for Palestine. It only took her a few days from the start of the Israel-Hamas conflict to share a statement and she didn’t hold anything back. She was also critical of many of her contemporaries who were silent on the matter, something that has continued in the months since. Her biggest story preceding that came a few months earlier when she lit up the WNBA Halftime show stage in July. Videos of the performance made the rounds online and had her trending.

Her most recent album blue water road dropped back in 2022. For the album, she recruited Blxst, Justin Bieber, Syd, Jessie Reyez, Thundercat, and Ambre. It spawned some of the bigger hits of the past few years for her with songs like “up at night” and “altar.” What do you think of Kehlani’s new gym video?

Stevie J Wants To Fight 50 Cent Over Recent Claims About Diddy

by

This week there have been a lot of celebrities online sharing thoughts about Diddy. That’s because at the start of the week two of his residences were raided by the feds. They revealed that the raids were in connection with sex trafficking allegations. That came just a few weeks after a lawsuit from Lil Rod made some evocative claims about the rap mogul having sex with other male celebrities and musicians like Stevie J. That one aspect became one of the most talked about details of the entire Diddy saga.

While plenty have been rushing to get their thoughts in recently, 50 Cent has been talking about Diddy nearly nonstop for months. Dating all the way back to Cassie initial lawsuit last year, which broke the dam of accusations against the rap mogul through, 50 has been talking. He was posting on Instagram nearly daily trying to find new ways to take shots at Diddy. Unsurprisingly, that never really slowed up and it’s kicked into overdrive in the past few days. But he might have taken a step too far with one particular post that drew the ire of Stevie J and even resulted in a threat aimed back at him. Check out the post and response below.

Kanye West Claims He Washed Drake And Kendrick Lamar

by

Kendrick Lamar sparked a major debate in the world of rap last week. He dropped a single where he called out the other members of a supposed “big three,” Drake and J. Cole. That got everyone debating over who really deserved to sit atop contemporary rap’s throne. It also got people debating over who would take which side in some kind of greater rap beef spawning from Kendrick’s gauntlet. So far, none of that has happened but Kanye West may have just poured gasoline on the fire with a new Instagram post.

Seemingly unprompted, West decided to speak his mind. “EVERYONE KNOWS I WASHED KENDRICK ON NO MORE PARTIES IN LA, EVERYONE KNOWS I WASHED DRAKE AT THE FREE HOOVER CONCERT. EVERYONE KNOWS I BROUGHT ADIDAS INTO THIS CULTURE AND I TOOK THEM OUT, EVERYONE KNOWS LOTTA DEMNA VIRGIL JERRY KIM ALL WORKED FOR ME. I MADE YEEZUS DARK FANTASY PABLO GRADUATION THRONE 808S, I MADE RUNAWAY DEVIL IN A NEW DRESS FATHER STRETCH. I AM THE ONLY PERSON TO COME BACK TO NUMBER ONE AFTER CANCELLATION. THERE IS ONLY ONE GOAT. I STAND BY ME. MY FRIENDS CALL ME YE :)” the full text of his Instagram post reads. Check out the fan reactions to the post below.

Kanye West Calls Out Drake And Kendrick Lamar With New Instagram Post

Kanye West may have slyly avoided playing a larger role in the ongoing Diddy drama of this week. Reports now claim that he turned down a meeting with the rap mogul just a few weeks ago. That meeting would have been fresh in a lot of fans’ minds when two of his properties were raided by feds earlier this week.

What do you think of the claims Kanye made in his new Instagram post? Do you think he’s washed both Kendrick and Drake in the past? Do you think he has the right to call himself the GOAT? Let us know in the comment section below.

Diddy’s Former Dancer Claims She Also Has Stories About The Rap Mogul

by

The past few days have been a full-on avalanche for Diddy. It’s really dated back months starting with Cassie’s high-profile lawsuit filed late last year. While that lawsuit was handled very quickly in private it turned out to be the first of numerous lawsuits that followed. One of the most damaging to the rap mogul’s reputation has been producer Lil Rod’s. The suit makes plenty of bold claims about the male celebrities he reportedly bragged about having sex with and the alleged drug trafficking going on behind the scenes.

The allegations turned to a very real threat earlier this week when the federal government raided two of Diddy’s residences in Los Angeles and Miami. Consequently, they announced that it was part of an investigation into sex trafficking allegations made against the rap legend. His plane was also intercepted in Miami where one of his associates was arrested and hit with two felonies. Additionally, that raid caused much of the rap world to turn on the genre veteran. He’s faced quite a bit of joking and harassment online from across the entertainment world. Now one of his own former dancers claims that she has her own dark story to tell about his past actions.

Yes I danced for him and kept my space. I was on the Vote or die airplane and kept my space. I interviewed him for his projects and kept my space,” her post begins. Subsequently, she goes on to stand by Cassie for her original allegations and opens up on the ways women are forced to process their trauma.

Shaq Claims He Wasn’t Flirting With Ice Spice In Viral IG Post From Super Bowl

by

It is crazy to think the Super Bowl was only one month ago. It was a thrilling game, being one of the few in the history of the NFL to go to overtime. However, outside of the action on the field, there were a lot of other funny subplots going on during that weekend. Shaq and Ice Spice were two celebrities not named Taylor Swift or Travis Kelce making big headlines that evening. The two respective superstars were seen photographed together in Taylor’s suite during halftime. Shaq wound up posting the picture of him, Spice, and Swift with a caption that went viral.

“Ice Spice so dam fine,” the former NBA legend wrote. Of course, fans ran with that, speculating that the Big Diesel was shooting his shot. However, according to TMZ Sports the opposite is true. In one of Shaq’s recent episodes of the Big Podcast With Shaq, he cleared up the rumors as to why he actually posted it, caption and all.

Shaq Was Just Being Nice To Ice Spice

Megan Thee Stallion Claims She Has The Best T*ts & A** On Instagram In Latest Thirst Trap

by

Megan Thee Stallion has been having one heck of a year in 2024. For those keeping their finger on the pulse, the Texas rapper has put out one of the biggest singles in rap. “HISS” was the talk of the town for about a month or so. She went for the jugular, sending ruthless shots at Nicki Minaj, Drake, Tory Lanez, and more. Many sided with her track against Nicki’s “Big Foot,” so she is already up on that front. Of course, Megan Thee Stallion is always winning on Instagram too, and that rings true again with her latest thirst trap.

It seems every week the “Cobra” rapper is serving her body for all those willing to see. For example, she was pleasing her fans on the platform every day for about a week with anime cosplays during her Japan trip. Additionally, people were hyperventilating over her Hot Girl Summer Tour posters and promos. Now, Megan Thee Stallion has done it once more on Instagram with thirst traps that make a serious claim.

In the new photo dump, Meg is sporting a matching lounge-like set with a short sleeve white tee and shorts. The shirt makes the claim that she has the best t*ts on Instagram. As for the skin-tight shorts, they declare the same, instead it is for her rear end. Megan did two posts with the first asking her fans what they will be wearing to her shows. The first outfit is the one we described. Another option is a matching set as well, although this one is a denim look. Additionally, the femcee shows off her curves in a black and pink dress. Finally, Megan opts for a Western look with a fake denim shirt and skirt, along with a white cowboy hat.

What are your thoughts on these latest photos from Megan Thee Stallion on Instagram? Is Megan back at the top of the female rap game right now, why or why not? How soon do you think it will be before she drops her next album? Are “Cobra” and “HISS” still in your rotation? Which one do you like more out of the two?

Yung Miami Previews New Song With Skilla Baby Amid Diddy Drug Trafficking Allegations

by

Last year, the City Girls released their new album RAW. Despite spawning a few fan favorites the record largely under-performed commercially and in the wake of its release the pair seem to be shifting their focus to solo work. Just this month JT took off on her first ever solo tour despite facing haters throughout the entire process. And now Yung Miami also appears to be pivoting to solo material with a new snippet she shared to social media.

She shared a pair of videos previewing an upcoming track she has with Skilla Baby. Despite showing off a healthy portion of the song, much of the discussion in response to it has a lot more to do with Diddy than Miami herself. That’s because her boyfriend recently had two of his homes raided by the feds and rumors have swirled about Miami’s potential involvement. Firstly she had to confirm that she wasn’t present or either of the raids to a fan on Twitter. But now she’s facing allegations of having talked to the feds personally as part of the investigation. Check out the preview she shared of new music below.

Yung Miami’s New Snippet

Part of the rumors swirling about her being a potential informant come from DJ Akademiks. The streamer was beefing with Miami earlier this year and tried to use the raids against Diddy as an excuse to re-ignite their beef. Those accusations probably aren’t as serious as the ones made in a new addition to Lil Rod’s lawsuit against Diddy. In the new portions of the suit he accuses Miami of trafficking cocaine for the rap mogul.

This isn’t the first time Miami has previewed her new song with Skilla Baby. She first announced the song and shared the first taste of it last week. What do you think of Yung Miami’s new snippet with Skilla Baby? Do you think she had something to do with the recent raids of two of Diddy’s properties? Let us know in the comment section below.
