Cabello previously discussed how the collaboration came together during an interview with Billboard in May. “He’s the f*cking GOAT, so it felt like shooting for the stars,” she said at the time, recalling how she messaged him on Instagram. “I showed him the album when I felt comfortable enough and he really liked it. [The feature] came out of a nontransactional place. He had this idea of a song called ‘Hot Uptown,’ and it just felt like I was in the city. I was in Miami.” She added: “He wanted to do one more thing for the album. Why does he have his own song? Because selfishly, I just want to hear Drake on my own album … I love that for me — it’s like that rebellious mood. Who says I can’t do that? It’s Drake talking his sh*t.”

Yungeen Ace Drops Foolio Diss Track, “Do It,” Just Hours After His Death

by

Yungeen Ace, who was engaged in a serious feud with Foolio for years, dropped a new song titled, “Do It,” just hours after news of the Florida rapper’s death became public. “Catch his ass and do his ass, you know he’s finished,” Ace raps at one point in the track. Foolio was shot and killed outside of a Holiday Inn while celebrating his 26th birthday in Tampa, Florida over the weekend.

The beef between Ace and Foolio has lasted several years. It stems from a rivalry between their respective crews, Ace’s ATK and Foolio’s KTA. There have been several shootings with victims on both sides of the violence. In 2021, Ace collaborated on, “Who I Smoke,” on which he mentions the names of several dead associates of Foolio. Foolio responded with “When I See You,” which samples a news team’s coverage of the killing of Ace’s brother.

Yungeen Ace Disses Foolio

Foolio’s lawyer, Lewis Fusco, confirmed details of his client’s death in a statement he shared on Instagram, on Sunday. He wrote: “Mr. Jones had been in Tampa to celebrate his birthday over the weekend.

While these events involving our client, Mr. Charles Jones, have been disclosed by law enforcement, we are unable to provide further comments at this time until additional details become public record. We kindly request that the privacy of Mr. Jones and his family be respected during this difficult time.”

Roger Bonds Recalls Asking One Of Kim Porter’s “Close Friends” About Diddy After Her Death

by

Roger Bonds says he spoke with one of Kim Porter’s “close friends” after her tragic death of lobar pneumonia in 2018. He recalled doing so during an interview with VladTV that has been causing all kinds of headlines in recent days. The former security guard for the Bad Boy mogul has been making numerous claims about Diddy and his relationship with Cassie.

Bonds explained that he wasn’t involved with Diddy directly at the time, but was “still in the mix” while working with Ciroc. He claims he spoke with one of Porter’s “closet friends” after her passing: “I just needed to know and I asked them, ‘What do you think?’ And this was one of Kim’s closest friends and she said, ‘Bonds, I would hate to think that he had something to do with it,’ she said.’” From there, he recalled the friend detailing the days leading up to her passing and a time she wore an IV in her arm at a party.

Bonds also denied the rumors that Porter was writing a “tell-all” book about the allegations against Diddy. Instead, he says a friend told him it was just a children’s book. “She didn’t like the way that Puff controlled her and the way he controlled the money he would give her for the kids. So, she wanted to make sure– her exact words were, ‘This motherf*cker not gonna run my kids like this. I want them to have they own money like Russell and his kids have.’ So, she was trying to build a foundation for them to have their own following.” He concluded by saying that he thinks Diddy truly loved Kim and doesn’t think he would’ve played a part in her death. However, he says in the wake of the latest allegations he can’t definitively say either way.

Roger Bonds Speaks On Diddy & Kim Porter

The interview comes after CNN published footage of Diddy assaulting Cassie at a hotel in 2016. He eventually apologized for the incident a few days later. Be on the lookout for further updates on Roger Bonds and Diddy on HotNewHipHop.

Uproxx cover star Latto is a proud product of Clayton County, but Atlanta is her true home. Yesterday (June 22), the “Sunday Service” rapper showed off her A-Town pride at 107.9’s Birthday Bash 2024.

Last night, Latto became the first woman to headline the annual event. So, to celebrate the momentous occasion, she was sure to surprise the crowd with half a dozen cameos from past collaborators and fellow musical natives, including Usher.

Unfortunately, as Usher went to perform his fan favorite track “Superstar” he experienced a few technical issues. As the problem were worked through on production’s end, Latto jumped in to hilariously sing the cult classic.

Usher was shocked by Latto’s attempt, put it all on the floor. Later into his set, he delivered a touching speech to praise the strides Latto has made in her career.

“You know, we have this thing that we do in Atlanta, where we just seem to keep making history,” he said. “Tonight, Latto made history, being the first female to [headline] Birthday Bash. [So,] we wanna give her, her flowers, one time.”

In addition to Usher, Latto brought out 21 Savage, Summer Walker, Flo Milli, Mariah The Scientist, Anycia, Roscoe Dash, Princess, and Rasheeda.

But don’t think the historic concert was a big payday for Latto. In a post on Instagram, she revealed spent all the money on her show’s production. “Not making a penny from Birthday Bash,” she wrote. “I invested it all back in the show.”

Travis Kelce Dressed As One Of Taylor Swift’s Dancers For A Surprise On-Stage Debut At The Eras Tour In London

After Taylor Swift spent much of the fall and winter becoming a staple at Kansas City Chiefs games to support her new boyfriend Travis Kelce, the star tight end has done the same at various stops on the global stretch of Swift’s The Eras Tour.

Travis is typically in the VIP area enjoying the show with the various celebrities that show up for each night of the tour, but on Sunday he got much more involved, taking an on-stage role for the first time. Late in Sunday’s tour stop in London, fans were stunned to see Kelce dressed as one of Swift’s dancers in a top hat and tuxedo during a transition between “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived” into “I Can Do It With A Broken Heart,” as he came out on stage, clearly having a blast, and carried Swift to a broken heart-shaped couch before touching up Swift’s makeup (and miming doing the same for himself).

It’s the first time we’ve seen Kelce hop up on stage, and he certainly seemed to enjoy every minute of it, trotting out with a little heel click and hamming it up as the crowd went crazy at his appearance. Typically we see Kelce’s dance skills in the end zone, but this time he put himself to the test with some professionals on stage. We’ll have to see if this fall he works any The Eras Tour choreography into his celebrations. Also, this sets the bar high for Swift when she shows up at her next Chiefs game, as it might be tough to reciprocate this moment — unless she’s ready to take some snaps at slot receiver.

Monica And Brandy’s Relationship Recently Healed After Working With Ariana Grande

Monica recently shared why collaborating with Ariana Grande on the remix of “The Boy Is Mine” was an easy decision and how Grande helped mend her relationship with Brandy. On June 7, Grande teased her single, named after Brandy and Monica’s 1998 Grammy-winning song, on Instagram. The music video featured the R&B icons as news anchors in the first 47 seconds, discussing a mayor played by Penn Badgley, whom Grande was infatuated with.

Following the video’s release, Grande announced that Brandy and Monica would feature on the official remix, released that Friday. 

This surprised fans, given the long-standing rumors of drama between Brandy and Monica. Monica discussed the song’s concept with ET Online, saying, “I’ve always said that the song should not be touched… But Ariana and [producer] Max Martin — as soon as I heard this version, I fell in love with it.” She praised Grande’s humility and compassion, adding, 

“Everything has been directly from her chest and, for me, authenticity, humility, all of those things are key.”

The last time Brandy and Monica reunited was in 2020 during their Verzuz show. Monica reflected on the new collaboration, saying:

“The process of the new collaboration did a lot of closing the gaps… When you properly communicate… you can find not only the resolutions and solutions to problems — but sometimes you find that there weren’t ever problems, just consistent miscommunications. It made it a lot easier just to talk.”

Sounds like they are on better footing and happy to see the rekindling of friendships between two iconic queens.

DJ Diesel And Guardians Pitcher Triston McKenzie Got The Crowd Jumping With ‘Since U Been Gone’ After A Game

Now that the NBA season is over, Shaquille O’Neal can shift his focus to his true love: music. The Hall of Famer spends his summers touring as DJ Diesel, as he’s shifted his focus away from hip-hop, when he was once a platinum selling artist, to EDM and house music, previously explaining that he just loves the energy of those crowds.

Shaq will do it all, from hitting the festival circuit to a Las Vegas residency at Encore Beach Club to performances at MLB stadiums after games. His most recent stop came on Saturday night in Cleveland, where he was at Blue Jays-Guardians and performed on the field for fans after the Guards picked up a 6-3 win to improve to 46-26 on the season.

The vibes are incredibly high for the Guards right now, and that only continued with DJ Diesel hopping on the 1s and 2s and bringing out some special guests from the clubhouse, as Cleveland pitcher Triston McKenzie (and a number of ofther Guardians players) joined Shaq on stage and performed “Since U Been Gone” by Kelly Clarkson to the delight of the fans.

First off, this is a reminder that “Since U Been Gone” is 20 years old and is still an absolute banger. Kelly Clarkson was really in her bag with that one. Secondly, DJ Diesel knows what the people want, which is a Kelly Clarkson interlude before going right back into some EDM. A true showman, through and through, who absolutely knows how to work a crowd — he hyped up the Guards as a World Series contender during his set as well.

Athletes around the world have massive fan bases. Similar to the players, there are several beloved sports team mascots with followings of their own. The New York Liberty’s Ellie The Elephant has become the WNBA’s latest breakout star.

Yesterday (June 22), Big Ellie’s Halftime performance showcased that and more. The show was dedicated to Pride Month, and also paid tribute Beyoncé. The ever so fabulous mascot blended a medley of the “Texas Hold ‘Em” singer’s record-setting, Grammy Award-winning album, Renaissance.

It was clear Ellie received the silver dress code notice, as the sassy elephant was rolled onto center court dressed in a mockup of Beyoncé’s tour look. With her own Renaissance World Tour dancers, Ellie slayed the mashup of “Move” featuring Grace Jones and Nina Sky’s “Move Ya Body” with hints of “Formation.”

Users online raved about the Halftime performance. Many even joked that a floral arrangement from Beyoncé would arrive at the arena soon. Ellie welcomed the idea, writing, “If this happened, tears just might fall 😭🫶🐘.”

Ellie’s Beyhive-certified tribute stated well before see hit the Barclays Center’s floor. In a clip shared to Ellie’s official X (formerly Twitter) profile she is seen Sasha Fiercly stomping across the Snipes pre-game carpet in another Beyoncé-inspired outfit with a hand fan made up of the Renaissance cover art.

Those flowers from Bey are currently en route.

Mustard Seemingly Trolls Drake With Hat At Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” Video Shoot

Over the weekend, Kendrick Lamar was spotted filming a music video in his hometown of Compton, surrounded by a massive crowd of fans and peers. The video in question is for “Not Like Us,” one of the defining tracks of his viral feud with Drake. As expected, fans can’t wait to see the final result, though it’s unclear when it’ll finally be unveiled.

DJ Mustard, who produced the song, came out to show his support and appear in the video. In various photos and clips making their rounds online, he’s even rocking a Toronto Blue Jays hat. Many are speculating that this could be yet another jab at Drizzy. He’s from the Canadian city and has previously shown love to the baseball team. Of course, some social media users also suspect that the hat could symbolize something else entirely, which is still up for debate.
