Tony Yayo once again showed why G-Unit and Ja Rule will never reconcile. In an interview with DJ Vlad, Yayo and Vlad had a discussion about the greatest rapper of all time. Dr. Dre recently called Eminem the greatest to ever do it. Yayo co-signed Dre’s opinion, adding that he had Em in his top five, but couldn’t disagree with Dre’s opinion. He talked about the value of statistics, mentioning that Eminem is still breaking records nearly a quarter of a century into his mainstream career. He uttered a familiar phrase: “men lie, women lie, numbers don’t,” suggesting a belief that commercial success is the greatest measure of a rapper’s status in the industry.
The conversation between Vlad and Tony Yayo went from the greatest rapper of all time to Yayo creating his Mount Rushmore of Queens rappers. The two of them went through a list. They did not quite settle on a Mount Rushmore, but Vlad was quick to note that Ja Rule’s name did not come up. Vlad argued that Ja should be in conversations over the Lost Boys. Especially if one of Yayo’s own measures for success is how well one performs commercially. For a period, Ja Rule was among the most popular rappers around, along with DMX, OutKast, Eminem, and of course, 50 Cent.
Tony Yayo Insults Ja Rule, Again
“He was like the industry plant early, Ja Rule […],” said Tony Yayo in the clip. “Ja Rule was a buster to me. I don’t know him. He’s from the other side of town. He’s a buster to me, and he’s still a buster. Irv [Gotti]’s a buster, Irv’s brother’s a buster, and they’re all busters to me.” When questioned about Ja’s ability to sell records at his peak, Yayo responded by calling him a buster again. He disregarded his sales and reiterated that the Lost Boys deserve to be on that list instead of him.
Tony Yayo’s response is not surprising. The 50 Cent-led G-unit camp and Ja Rule have had issues for over twenty years. 50, along with Eminem, contributed greatly to ending Ja’s run as a commercially viable rapper, with a series of diss tracks that kneecapped his credibility. Em once again took aim at him on The Death of Slim Shady. With this interview, Yayo is the latest 50 Cent affiliate to remind fans that the participants in this long-running beef will probably never reach a truce.
So who cheated on Kehlani and why was the affair “diabolical?” During an interview with Nessa on Hot 97, Kehlani opened up about their new song Better Not from the album Crash and recounted a shocking incident involving an ex.
Get this, Nessa described the track as “alarming,” referencing the lyrics:
“I almost died the night when I caught you in somebody’s Benz (Ooh, ooh) / I better not catch you doing that sh”t again / And you’re not wrong, ’cause you’re not mine / I would choose this dance with you in every life / Though we’re just a little more than friends / I better not catch you doing that sh”t again.”
I mean the bars are kind of alarming …
When asked about the craziest thing they’ve ever witnessed, Kehlani shared a startling experience:
“This is actually psychotic. It’s actually diabolical. I found a stack of Polaroids of all the women that he cheated on me with. He was keeping them in Polaroid form in his travel bag,” they revealed to Nessa.
Here’s where it gets weird.
Kehlani explained that they discovered the Polaroids while trying to clean up during a trip out of town.
“I was putting things away,” they said. In fairness, at the time, Kehlani was just 19 or 20 years old and reacted differently than they would today. “I was not the girl I am today that would be like, ‘Yo. Wow.’ I was definitely like, ‘Oh my God. Terrifying.’ And I threw them away. He never mentioned it to me and I never said anything. But there were crazier things that happened in that situation, so it checks out.”
Who do ya’ll think it was? 10 years or so ago. Do the math and let us know.
ce Spice joins Zane Lowe for New Music Daily on Apple Music 1 for the release of her new single, “Gimmie A Light” out now. Ice also gives hints on her album, Y2K telling Zane, “This will be the last couple times I can say I don’t have an album out yet.” She also teases what fans can expect from the upcoming project, and talks her recent Coachella performances.
When asked about her new single, “Gimmie A Light”. Spice responds, “I was really nervous because we really wanted to have a very authentic Y2K sample in there, and Sean Paul, he’s legendary,” she said. “And that song alone, his “Gimme the Light,” is so iconic that I was so nervous to sample it, because I’m like, “This isn’t going to get cleared, so what’s the point?” But thankfully we got it cleared. Shouts to Sean Paul. He’s so real.”
As for her upcoming album, the BX native said, “Thankfully, I had my mom, so growing up I’d see her really embody the Y2K aesthetic in its truest form. [To me, the aesthetic is…] It’s duck nails. It’s a tramp stamp. It’s brown lip liner no matter where you go. So thankfully I had her [my mom] as my inspo growing up. And of course just like the internet, you feel me? Just like anyone else.”
She continued, “The crazy thing is it wasn’t just a definitive moment, it was just this ongoing process of, “What should we name the album?” And then I have a book full of pages of album names and different ideas, and I just really find the beauty and simplicity and I was just like, “You know what? I want it to be short. I don’t want it to be this super long phrase.” It was going to go either way. It was going to be super long phrase or one word. There was no in between for me.”

Interviewer (Courtney Brown): Hello, Amara! How are you today?
Amara La Negra: Hello, mi amor! Hello, you’re mute. Hi, Amada. How are you? Getting yourself come through with the bangs. Okay. It’s a Bang Tuesday. You see it.
Courtney: You look stunning, Amara. Thank you for chatting with me today. Can you tell us about what’s been happening with your music career?
Amara: Things didn’t work out the way that I planned… I kind of stopped doing music for a little bit… But then I did start doing some music. And one thing led to the other.
Courtney: It’s amazing to see you back in action. How do you manage to juggle motherhood and your career?
Amara: I’m still young… Breastfeeding, too, at the same time will do something for you… But I’m in a space where I do want to start going to the gym. I want to live as long as possible for my girls.
Courtney: Absolutely, self-care is crucial. Now, reflecting on your journey in Love and Hip Hop Miami, how have things changed since you first started?
Amara: A lot of things have changed… It’s very difficult to be open about a lot of personal things that you don’t want to share… It becomes very difficult.
Courtney: You’ve been a powerful voice for the Afro-Latino community and an advocate for black and brown women. Can you speak about your activism?
Amara: I continue to work the Afro Latino community… I continue to be an activist for black and brown women and minorities… I am grateful for the platform.
Courtney: That’s incredibly important work you’re doing. Lastly, can you give us a hint about what to expect in the upcoming season of Love and Hip Hop Miami?
Amara: Something very, very big… Almost like the biggest thing that has happened… It’s about to happen.
Courtney: We can’t wait to see! Thank you so much for your time, Amara. It’s been a pleasure talking with you.
Amara: Thank you so much, my love. Bye. Thank you so much, Courtney. All right.
There is so much that goes behind a hit record that people don’t see, and most of the time, those individuals are the most pivotal pieces to the puzzle.
Insert Camper, the songwriter and producer who had the pleasure of spending three months in Saudi Arabia with Ye and Ty$ for the making of Vultures 1. The project peaked at the #1 spot on the Billboard 200 albums charts and remains there today.
Camper is best known for his work with some of the most well-respected names in the music industry, including Brandy, H.E.R., Jay Z, Big Sean, and more. Last year, Camper won a Grammy as Coco Jones’ “ICU” won Best R&B Performance. But the accolades don’t mean anything; Camper keeps on working.
The Source had the opportunity to chat with Camper about his involvement in the new Ye and Ty$ album, Vultures 1. The beauty lies in that all five songs he worked on for the project are charting on the Billboard Hot 100, which serves as a first throughout his entire career.
The SOURCE: So all five songs from that album are charting?
Camper: All five songs that I produced with Ye and Ty$ are on the Hot 100 charts right now as we speak. Including a song I produced with Kanye called “Talking,” featuring North West. Kanye West’s daughter. That’s her first time being charted on the Hot 100 charts, at #30. All the moments continue to go together.
How did you get back in with Ye?
With a phone call, his team reached out, and I was there. It was that simple because we already worked together when I was 20. A few years after that, I went to Hawaii with him to work with John Legend, Pusha T, Teyana Taylor, Rick Ross. We was all out there working together, so we always had a relationship. We was always cool. There were moments when I’d see him, then I haven’t seen him in 8 years after that. Then came back together and did this. A lot of growth with the both of us, but I’m happy we took time apart to come back together for a time like this.
Were you producing or songwriting on the project?
Producing. Then on one of the songs, I’m singing. On “Stars.”
What’s the vibe in the studio for this project?
It’s amazing. It’s lessons man. He’s like Michael Jordan to me. He understands what it takes. He’s brave, he’s ambitious. He’s very passionate. I’m sitting right next to him soaking all the game up. I’m learning how to put it into what I’m doing, so it’s a great experience.
What was the biggest lesson you learned from this project?
Be yourself. Never fold. Never stop. Never settle either. Because now, he’s the biggest he’s ever been. Independently too. People counted him out, he bet on himself every time. That’s just that: staying true to who you are and believing in yourself.
What’s your relationship with Ty$?
Amazing, he’s my brother. I love him to death. If you ask him about me, he’ll say the same thing. I love him so much, he’s a big brother to me. He’s there when I need them. We have a lot of music coming together. Even if we never did anything else again musically, he’s still one of my great brothers and I really appreciate it. Fire man, he’s my dawg.
What was the greatest memory from creating Vultures 1?
Ye would have the studio setup in a big ass suite. Big suite and speakers, we’re all there. Me, Ye, Ty$ next to me. North West beside Ye. We’re all sitting like we’re front row at the fucking runway show in Fashion Week. We’re watching movies, listening to songs. We’ll go to an amazing restaurant, then we’ll go out to the dunes. The dirt road, we’ll ride 4-wheelers in the dirt. 3am, 4am in the morning. We’ll go home and catch the Saudi Arabia breakfast.
I forget the hotel we were staying at, but they had a fire breakfast. 6am every morning, the best scrambled eggs I’ve ever had in my life. Really all this stuff together, working on songs then stay up all night. Go to a private party, private event. We’ll chill, then we’ll catch the breakfast in the morning. Oh my God, amazing.
How long were you out there for?
Three months.
That’s where the project was made? Saudi Arabia?
Well they started in Japan. They went to Italy. From Italy, went to Saudi Arabia. We were in Saudi Arabia, then moved to a city in Saudi Arabia called AlUla. We were there, that’s where all the mountains — it was nothing but dirt and tipis and tents. Just rocks. Big rock boulders. Aw man, the best way to see stars. I saw shooting stars every two minutes, it’s clear.
Why Saudi Arabia?
I don’t know. I have no idea because we couldn’t smoke. We couldn’t drink. We couldn’t do anything. I was a purist out there. Couldn’t do anything, I’m like damn!
Do you get a one way flight? You don’t know when you’re coming back? Don’t know nothing.
What do you pack?
Well, we had to wear black. That was the uniform [for Vultures]. That’s what he wants to do. He’s been doing that for a while now. I don’t know why, but that’s what he wants and that’s what we do. We’re at war, so we have to wear all black. I guess that’s the mentality he has. We outside.
I know Kanye is your hero. Do you sit there like damn, how am I here?
Yeah, gratitude. Yo, I can’t believe I’m here right now. But at the same time, I don’t really get too wrapped up in that because you gotta believe that you’re here. You got to. You pinch yourself from dreaming like alright well you’re about to get hurt. Because this is real, I’m here for a reason. I’m happy that I’m called upon to reason with you, to go there with you, to see your vision through and all of that. He’s counting on me, like I’m counting on him. That’s a beautiful understanding.
How is it celebrating the success of the project?
I haven’t yet. I’ve been working. My head is still down. I’m not even worrying about the success yet. Although I’m breaking records right now that I never did in my career myself personally, I’m still so focused on the next thing. I’m not even worried about that shit.
You have over 20 Grammy nominations. Are you keeping count?
Back in the 2000s, there was a lot of rap beef going down, but also a lot of star-powered crossovers and collaborations. That’s true of hip-hop in any era, but after about 30 years in the music sphere, the genre was bigger than ever before [ironically, on the date of this article’s publishing, hip-hop celebrates its 50th birthday]. Leading the charge, among a couple of others, were two key figures in their respective scenes that became indelibly influential. Moreover, 50 Cent brought a new brand of glossy grit and gangster glamour to New York, capturing generations of listeners with ease. On the other hand, there was Lil Wayne out of New Orleans, expanding the caliber of Southern rap’s lyrical prowess and release dominance.
With that in mind, it’s wild to think that these two leaders of their time- that still lead today- never collaborated. Furthermore, that’s something that the G-Unit mogul wants to change. During an interview with the Capital XTRA Breakfast show to celebrate hip-hop’s 50th anniversary, co-hosts Robert Bruce and Shayna Marie asked their special guest co-host Curtis Jackson asked him for any artists from its history that he wants to work with. “I didn’t do one with Wayne… He’s one of the ones,” 50 Cent replied.
“People don’t know [that] I was on the Cash Money Ruff Ryders Tour,” he continued, “before they opened the curtain.” While their sounds are distinct enough from each other, they also have a lot of crossover appeal and similarities as MCs. Just imagine 50 Cent’s trademark low rasp matched up against Weezy’s nasal, eccentric flow. With new albums on the way from the two, maybe Lil Wayne drops everything and gets Fif to hop on Tha Carter VI. If not, even a random single release from them would be enough to light the community ablaze with excitement and satisfaction.
Meanwhile, given 50’s recent track record, this link-up doesn’t sound improbable at all. After all, he recently collaborated on wax with Nasfor the first time in about twenty years. Legends forge their own path, but in the collaborative and competitive spirit of the genre, crossing them will only make them that much better. On that note, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates on 50 Cent and Lil Wayne. Also, happy 50th birthday, hip-hop!
Prepare to embark on a captivating journey through the annals of Hip Hop history as A&E Network introduces its latest series, Hip Hop Treasures. Premiering on August 12 at 10 PM ET/PT, following Hip-Hop’s 50th birthday, this groundbreaking show takes you on a quest to uncover lost and iconic Hip Hop memorabilia, guided by none other than Ice T and LL COOL J.
Led by two legendary figures of the genre, alongside field collectors and museum curators, Hip Hop Treasures delves deep into the stories behind some of Hip Hop’s most illustrious artists and the cherished items that defined their legacy. Imagine seeing The Notorious B.I.G.’s iconic jersey from the “Juicy” video, Flavor Flav’s iconic clocks, DMX’s Aaliyah car, and more, all meticulously preserved and showcased in the birthplace of Hip Hop culture – The Bronx.
This exclusive partnership between A&E, Pulse Films, LL COOL J’s Rock The Bells, and The Universal Hip Hop Museum pays homage to these music legends by returning their artifacts to where it all began. “Hip Hop Treasures” offers a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse into the originators and artifacts that birthed the global phenomenon of Hip Hop.
With LL COOL J and Ice T at the helm, joined by field collectors Cipha Sounds and Yo-Yo, alongside Chief Museum Curator Paradise Gray and curator Pete Nice, elusive artifacts find their way back to The Universal Hip Hop Museum’s archive. The museum, set to become “The Official Record of Hip Hop,” is diligently assembling the world’s largest Hip Hop memorabilia collection, with its permanent home scheduled to open worldwide in 2024.
Throughout the series, you’ll be treated to poignant personal narratives from LL COOL J and Ice T themselves, along with unparalleled access to Hip Hop luminaries like DMC (Run DMC), CeeLo Green, Flavor Flav, Fat Joe, Treach (Naughty by Nature), Master P, Soulja Boy, and many more. Moreover, “Hip Hop Treasures” will honor the legacies of The Notorious B.I.G., DMX, Biz Markie and feature Coolio’s final on-camera appearance before his passing in 2022.
In conversation with The Source, Ice T discusses being a part of Hip-Hop Treasures, the growth in Hip-Hop, and why our memorabilia is one of the most rich entertainment components.
What initially drew you to be a part of this series, and why do you think it’s important to highlight the search for lost Hip-Hop memorabilia?
Well, I didn’t start off as a host. I started off just as one of the characters. We were donating stuff to the hip-hop museum, and we shot our episode, and the people from A&E said, Ice, you are so well-spoken. Would you like to come in and, you know, co-host this? So that’s how we got put on. It’s a good concept. It’s a great thing. Hip-Hop being 50 years old man, Hip-Hop has gray hair, and a lot of the stuff that we never thought would be valuable is valuable. It only takes 20 years for something to be an antique. So you go and meet these people like me, and you’re like, man, you got stuff from day one, and now there are collectors out there, and there are people that are really appreciating it. And that’s a great thing.
Can you share a particular moment or item that resonated with you personally during this filming?
No, I can’t say anything personally. Every time I see something, it’s dope. Like when Flavor Flavor tells the story about his clock, I’m like, I didn’t know that story. So a lot of times you see the item, but then the story that goes along with it is so dope. Everybody’s looking for the Holy Grail. On my end, my gold gun got lost in the mix of me and my ex breaking up. I don’t know where that is; she probably sold it. But it’s a lot of things. So it’s an amazing show, and just cool to kick in with people. We went and talked to Coolio, and we had no idea that that would be the last interview with Coolio. So, it’s a lot about getting Hip-Hop while it’s still alive.
You mention these artifacts and also contributing to the Universal Hip-Hop Museum. How does it feel for you to be almost like a scientist who gets to find, preserve, and celebrate these items for other people in the future?
It’s cool, man. When Rocky Bucano and the team started the Universal Hip-Hop Museum up in the Bronx, I donated a lot of stuff early in the game, but it’s just taken fire. I’m with Afrika Islam, and they do auctions at Sotheby’s, the most prestigious auction house, and that’s where I learned a lot of this stuff is extremely valuable. See, collectors are interesting. There are baseball cards that are worth millions of dollars. Now to somebody, that’s not valuable, but to a collector, that’s valuable. So there are people that really respect Hip-Hop to such a level. I heard Biggie’s Crown went for hundreds of thousands of dollars, you know? So it’s a very interesting thing, but it’s something that I don’t think, as a rapper, we ever felt that these things would have much value. You’re gonna be amazed at some of the stuff we got. They got stage props from Digital Underground that are two stories tall.
You mentioned Coolio, and throughout the series, we also have moments of tribute to Biggie, DMX, Biz Markie. People who are associated with the legend tag like yourself. How does that personally feel inside?
When people throw legend around, I always try to throw living in front of it, you know? I’ve lost so many people, man. The thing we do with Biz Markie’s wife is crazy, and I think all our legends would be proud to know that pieces of them are being immortalized on a TV show and museum. My thing was always, even dating back to my film Art of Rap, I wanted to make Hip-Hop respectable. I think this show will give people on the outside to understand where different parts of the culture came from. Culture is just a bunch of people who bring something to the table.
What do you want viewers to take away from this show, and what message do you send to those excited about the upcoming Hip-Hop museum?
It’s a place to go and see things you remember from your era. Take your kids and see where Hip-Hop was born. You have a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, some of my stuff is in the Smithsonian. When items are respected enough to be in museums, it gives credibility. Believe me, some people still don’t want to give Hip-Hop its credit even though it’s a multibillion-dollar industry. They want to aim at the negative stuff because it gets more views. But this is a totally positive show that will only show the best. One of my favorite shows right now is Tales From the Territories, highlighting wrestlers, it’s also on A&E, and they sit and talk about wrestling. What makes it dope is that you only see them in the ring, but you don’t hear from them. It’s not like sitting down and talking about beef; it’s about the actual work. So I think this will humanize Hip-Hop more to where children can look at their mothers and say, “Okay, Mom, I understand why you love Salt-N-Pepa so much.”
With Hip-Hop hitting it’s 50th year. What do you see in the game now and enjoy most?
I like the fact it’s still around and still called Hip-Hop. Hip-Hop has gone through many phases that I wasn’t fond of. I made it clear I wasn’t too fond of the ringtone phase where no one was rapping. As a person like me, a rapper, I like rap. I like bars. I really feel right now, we’re in an era where the rapper is about to return as freestyles are getting popular and the lyrics are starting to push forward. Any culture is going to go through phases, though. It can’t stay the same. It has to morph and go into different zones. So ultimately, I’m happy it’s still alive. I’m happy kids can learn from it. I’m happy Hip-Hop billionaires are showing you can take this anywhere. You look at JAY-Z, you look at 50 Cent, these guys started rapping, but there’s no limit to what they can do. Ice Cube has a basketball league. Do you see what I mean?
During a recent interview with Cosmopolitan, comedian Bobbi Althoff revealed how she was able to secure her famous interview with Drake. The interview blew up immediately after its release a few weeks back, raking in over 10 million views since. The 26-year-old’s podcast, The Really Good Podcast, had only been around since April of this year, but Drake’s episode catapulted her to fame.
She’s since gone on to post interviews with Lil Yachty and Mark Cuban, and is even scheduled to sit down with Tyga next. Althoff’s deadpan humor and aloof attitude make for some of the funniest videos yet. After all, who doesn’t want to see their favorite artists in an incredibly awkward situation. With that being said, Althoff has sparked some debate as to how she managed to land a performer as huge as Drake when she was just starting out. Rumors have been circulating that she’s an industry plant, however, she denies this. According to Althoff, she simply slid into his DMs.
In June, Althoff interviewed Funny Marco. Apparently, Drake was a fan of what he saw, liking clips of the interview and eventually following Althoff on Instagram. After discovering that Drake was into her content, she decided to take a chance and ask him if he wanted to be interviewed. “I decided to just go for it and shoot my shot. I DMed Drake and asked if he wanted to be on my podcast, and he said yes,” she explained. “He sent me his touring schedule, and I knew that I needed to make it happen fast, so my friend and I flew to Memphis two days after the original DM was sent to record the episode.”
Elsewhere in her Cosmopolitan interview, Althoff revealed how she prepares to sit down with all these celebs. “There’s no prep,” she explained, “and that’s the fun of it.” She continued, “I think that’s why celebrities are down to do it. They know it’s a character, and we just wing it. It’s not a real interview. I’m not trying to get hard-hitting information about you — I’m not trying to uncover anything. It’s just a conversation. It’s really a parody of a good interview.”
In a new interview clip that’s going viral today, Sexyy Red is in the middle of an interview when she gets a call from her baby daddy. When she picks up the phone their conversation goes to some pretty NSFW places, but the pair are surprisingly cute. At first, she tells him they also want to interview him, which he responds to with charming confusion. They ask him questions like how he’s doing and what he ate today, but the real meat of the interview came on their next question. They ask him what he WANTS to eat, but Red chimes in and answers for him saying “he wanna eat me baby.”
Fans in the comments thought that the video was hilarious. “Put them on Love During Lockup!” reads one of the top comments on the post. “She’s ghetto down and I love it” another commenter agreed. Elsewhere in the comments, fans stood up for Sexyy Red in the face of against hate she gets online. “Gotta love Sexyy . Idc what the haters say she’s lit,” one of the top comments says. “Ahhhhh leave the girl alone. People have careers to sustain. Her fan base loves her for this reason and her kids are well taken care of and getting rich. Let them live,” another one agrees.
In the same interview, Sexyy Red made another strange reveal to Lil Yachty. She declared that she doesn’t use condoms and labeled herself the “raw dog queen.” Unsurprisingly, that generated some questionable attention to her. Many quickly connected it to an extremely weird bar about STDs that she once posted on her Instagram story.
Earlier this year in June, Sexyy Red released her debut album, Hood Hottest Princess. The album featured the hit song “Pound Town 2” featuring Nicki Minaj which has stuck around on the back end of the Hot 100 since being released. What do you think of Sexyy Red’s boyfriend being surprise interviewed in a new clip? Let us know in the comment section below.
It seems that Don Cheadle’s serious on-set attitude may extend to his personal life as well. While sitting down with Vanity Fair in a recent interview, the Iron Man actor discussed his career as well as new projects he’s working on. However, when the interviewer joked about how long Cheadle had been acting, Cheadle quickly let him know it was no laughing matter. The reporter was attempting to recreate the now-viral “Damn” meme from Cheadle’s 2021 interview with Kevin Hart. Sadly, it didn’t seem to go over well.
“You and Samuel Jackson have been working as long as I have been aware…” the interviewer began before Cheadle quickly cut him off. Then he was posed another question regarding his age, to which he responded, “Why does it matter? Are you trying to re-create the Kevin Hart thing?” The reporter shamefully admitted that he was trying to recreate the viral moment, but Cheadle complained that his rendition fell short. Despite the actor’s apparent seriousness, it is also unintentionally funny.
Don Cheadle Doesn’t Think His Age Is A Laughing Matter
The internet went into a frenzy after Cheadle and Hart’s interview. As the meme spread across the internet, it became almost impossible to escape. Even so, the actor and comedian remain friends. Cheadle may eventually be able to laugh at himself as everyone else has. At least one can hope.
In other related news, when Don Cheadle doesn’t have to explain his age, he seems to have amazing interactions with others. Last February, Freddie Gibbs shared a hilarious story about running into him at Super Bowl LVI. “N***a walked up to me last night and said ‘people say we look alike’ and it was Don Cheadle. The fucking goat,” Gibbs tweeted. Cheadle later corroborated the story on Twitter, hinting that he expects to work alongside Gangsta Gibbs in the future. “true story. great meeting you, nephew. to be continued,” Cheadle replied. Gibbs’ manager Lambo later shared a photo of Gibbs and Cheadle sharing a laugh during the Super Bowl festivities.
