Megan Thee Stallion Drops Hard-Hitting New Freestyle Over “Like A G6”

by

At the start of May, Megan Thee Stallion warned fans to keep a lookout for what was coming soon. She hasn’t disappointed so far starting with her newest single “BOA.” The song is the third in her series of snake-themed released following last year’s “COBRA” and this year’s “HISS.” The song is off to quite a hot start, racking up over 10 million streams in its first 10 days ahead of its debut on the Hot 100 later this week. The song is expected to debut inside the top 40 of the chart when the full roster is released. It follows “HISS” which debuted at number one, becoming the first of a few diss tracks this year to do so.

Throughout the month she’s also been sharing some new freestyles with fans on a weekly basis. Fittingly, she’s calling it Megan Mondays and has already taken on a few notable songs. But her newest freestyle may be her most unconventional yet. She takes on the beat from Far East Movement’s 2010 radio smash “Like A G6.” Though the song doesn’t seem like a natural fit for her fast flows right away, she absolutely eats the song up from the moment she starts rapping and fans in the comments agree. Check out the freestyle itself and some reactions to it below.

Megan Thee Stallion Freestyles Over “Like A G6”

In the comments, fans share some pretty positive reactions to her newest performance. “Gunna sound like Gunna, Future sound like Future and Megan sound like Megan. No need for her to switch her style” one fan notes, refuting arguments that her freestyles all sound the same. “Bodying freestyles, on a sold out tour and about to release the hottest female rap album of this year. I see why they mad,” another comment reads.

What do you think of Megan Thee Stallion’s new freestyle over Far East Movement’s “Like A G6?” What song do you hope she freestyles over for next week’s Megan Monday post? Let us know in the comment section below.

Kid Rock Pulls Out A Gun, Says The N-Word During Wild “Rolling Stone” Interview

by

Kid Rock brandished a gun during a new profile with Rolling Stone reporter David Peisner, who claims the conservative rockstar also said the n-word at multiple points. The outlet published the piece on Monday afternoon, detailing a visit to Rock’s home outside of Nashville. The conversation often turned to Rock’s views on politics.

“And I got a f*cking goddamn gun right here if I need it!” he shouted at one point. “I got them everywhere!” From there, Peisner quotes Rock as saying the n-word multiple times during a conversation about rap music. Afterward, he reveals that it wasn’t the only time Rock used the slur during the visit. Of those instances, Peisner wrote: “It’d be easy to label this as the rantings of a drunk racist, but as with everything that Ritchie does, it’s hard to know how calculated it all is. Is he just trying to get a reaction? Is he begging to be pilloried when this story comes out so he can launch into a very public tirade against ‘cancel culture?’ Is this all just a play for more attention? Would any of that make it less sh*tty?”

Rock also discusses his prior beef with Bud Light and says he’s back to drinking the beer. “We’ve got bigger targets,” he said, bringing up Planet Fitness and Ben & Jerry’s. “I don’t want to hurt people’s jobs and stuff like that when they don’t have any dog in the fight, but there’s a whole lot of other companies we should be going after.” He also suggests listening to the national anthem will make “liberal tears fall like rain.”

Eminem Enjoys A Dance With His Daughter Hailie At Her Wedding

by

Eminem appears to be close to re-entering the public light in a major way. The rapper hasn’t released a new studio album since 2020 when he dropped Music To Be Murdered By. He followed the album up later that year with a deluxe edition adding numerous B-sides. Since then he’s continued to drop supplementary material like a second greatest hits album and deluxe editions of projects like The Eminem Show and The Marshall Mathers LP 2. But that all changed last month when he announced the release of a new project later this year.

The record is called The Death Of Slim Shady and fans are expecting to hear it at some point this year. Since the announcement news about the album has come from a variety of places. 50 Cent confirmed that the album would be handled by Dr. Dre on production, something that delighted long-time fans of Em and Dre’s collabs. There was also an obituary for the character of Slim Shady published in a Detroit newspaper further teasing the album’s concept. But in the midst of a swirl of music-related news, Em also had some personal matters to attend to, most notably his daughters wedding.

Eminem Sharing A Dance With His Daughter

Over the weekend, Em was in his proud father mode while his daughter Hailie got married. As TMZ reports, some of the very same collaborators on Em’s new record were in attendance. Both Dr. Dre and 50 Cent were reportedly present at the relatively small affair. The publication also caught some shots of Em and his daughter sharing the all important dance. Check out the pictures they shared of the pair above.

There currently isn’t a specific release date confirmed for Em’s highly-anticipated new album. What do you think of Eminem sharing a dance with his daughter Hailie during her big day? Are you looking forward to the release of The Death Of Slim Shady later this year? Let us know in the comment section below.

Tom Hanks Had The Most Dad Response To Chet Hanks’ Text About The Drake And Kendrick Lamar Beef

Tom Hanks is generally regarded as a generational actor and among the most pleasant celebrities alive, so it checks out that Hanks was profoundly confused by Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s beef, which hit apex earlier this month with back-and-forth diss tracks, including Lamar’s Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper “Not Like Us.”

On Monday morning, May 20, Chet Hanks, one of Tom Hanks’ four children, posted screenshots to his Instagram Story showing an endearingly funny text exchange with his father.

“Big Main, can you explain the Drake/Kendrick Lamar feud to me?” Hanks is shown to have texted Chet.

Chet’s reply needed a second screenshot to be captured in its entirety, as he was very thorough (and slightly erratic). All his father could muster in response was, “Holy cow! These are fighting words. People taking sides?? Who’s winning??” Chet shot back several laugh-crying emojis alongside, “Did you not just read what I said[?]”

To be fair, as lengthy as Chet’s text was, it is impossible to sum up the Drake-Kendrick saga via iMessage. Seth Rogen even struggled to adequately assess the various moving parts, though he did definitively declare Drake as the loser. Meanwhile, J. Cole made it out blissfully unscathed after removing himself from the beef in April.

Megan Thee Stallion Is Fly ‘Like A G6’ In Her Latest #MeganMonday Freestyle Video

Megan Thee Stallion kicked off her #MeganMonday campaign earlier this month with a freestyle over the beat from Gucci Mane’s “I Think I Love Her.” After taking a week off to release the video for her new single, “Boa,” got back to business today with her latest freestyle. This time, she tackled the EDM-inspired beat from Far East Movement’s signature hit, “Like A G6,” donning a curly blond wig and a pink baby tee, while keeping the staging simple. The video is currently available on her socials only; you can check it out at the bottom of this post.

Megan’s 2024 has been pretty action-packed so far; she’s release another snake-inspired single, “Hiss,” while delivering a pair of feature verses to very different projects. The first was for “Not My Fault,” Renée Rapp’s unofficial Regina George theme song from the Mean Girls musical movie, while the second, for GloRilla’s “Wanna Be,” found her returning to her ratchet rap roots and revisiting campus life in its exuberant music video.

Last week, the Houston Hottie kicked off her Hot Girl Summer Tour with GloRilla, and by all accounts, it’s already been a success. In Chicago this weekend, Meg brought out WNBA star Angel Reese and debuted her tequila ahead of its impending launch, giving fans on future dates plenty to look ahead to.

Why Diddy Can’t Be Charged For His 2016 Cassie LA Hotel Assault

Although tape recently surfaced confirming that Sean “Diddy” Combs assaulted his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura at a Los Angeles hotel in 2016, the music mogul will not face charges in that incident, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office. The LAPD told local news that the incident is past the statute of limitations, meaning charges couldn’t be filed due to the amount of time that has passed.

A statement from LAPD reads:

We are aware of the video that has been circulating online allegedly depicting Sean Combs assaulting a young woman in Los Angeles. We find the images extremely disturbing and difficult to watch. If the conduct depicted occurred in 2016, unfortunately we would be unable to charge as the conduct would have occurred beyond the timeline where a crime of assault can be prosecuted.

Diddy’s alleged abuse was first made public when Cassie sued him in November of last year. The incident from the footage was mentioned in the lawsuit, as well as the claim that Diddy paid the hotel $50,000 to suppress the security footage, which depicts Diddy, clad in only a towel, chasing Cassie down the hallway, knocking her down, and kicking her on the ground.

Diddy settled the lawsuit out of court a day after it was filed, but that only set off a firestorm of additional suits; additionally, a federal investigation into sex trafficking claims against the Bad Boy Records founder led to raids on several of his properties. Diddy recorded an apology video on Sunday (May 19) but did not mention Cassie or the 2016 hotel incident, leaving it unclear to whom he was apologizing — or what for.

Lil Wayne’s Son Says Playboi Carti Has Reached His Dad’s Level: “He’s There”

by

Lil Wayne’s son, Lil Novi, says that Playboi Carti is the younger generation’s version of his father. Speaking about the topic of the greatest rappers of all time during an interview with Flophouse Atlanta, Novi placed Carti just below his dad and said that he’s reached his level. “Obviously, my dad but for me, I’d say like because Carti is like the Wayne now so yeah, Carti. If you really like think, he’s there, he’s reached that level. He’s done crazy numbers.”

When Kurrco shared a clip of the interview on Twitter, fans had mixed responses to the hot take. “I don’t think he knows how God tier of a rapper his dad is,” one user replied. Another argued: “Not even in the same stratosphere numbers wise. Wayne was big as Drake but cool with the kids like Carti. Whole different monster.” On another topic, others noted how similar Wayne and his son sound.

Following in his father’s footsteps, Novi has been pursuing a music career of his own at a young age. He previously landed a feature on his father’s No Ceilings 3 mixtape. More recently, he’s been previewing experimental music on his social media pages. Novi is one of four kids Wayne shares with four different mothers.

Chet Hanks Hilariously Explains The Drake Vs. Kendrick Lamar Beef To His Father Tom Hanks

by

The Hanks family is now weighing in on Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s rap feud. Tom Hanks recently reached out to his 33-year-old son, Chet Hanks, for an explanation of the entire scandal because he felt left out of the loop about the all-consuming cultural event the beef has become. Chet Hanks has shared that his father had asked him to explain everything that had happened. He shared the hilarious text chain where he broke it down for his pops on Instagram.

Chet shared screen grabs of the text exchange on his Story, revealing that his father, whom he refers to endearingly as “Pops,” had messaged him, asking, “Big Main, could you please explain the Drake/Kendrick Lamar feud to me?” After the dispute between Kendrick Lamar and Drake became viral, it’s understandable that an ordinary person couldn’t keep up with every detail. Tom Hanks wasn’t keeping a close eye on everything that happened because he is Tom Hanks. Thankfully, Chet, who himself is a rapper, was there to explain the monumental feud to his pops.

Naturally, Chet began a long summary of the rappers’ dispute, pointing out that since Drake’s “Push Ups” in April and May, each of them has been releasing a slew of diss recordings targeted at the other. Next up were K. Dot’s “Euphoria,” “6:16 in L.A.” and “Meet the Grahams,” along with Drizzy’s since-deleted “Taylor Made Freestyle,” “Family Matters,” and “The Heart Pt. 6.” Chet explained Kendircks mega hit diss “Not Like Us,” saying, “pretty much the sonic equivalent of when you took me to your high school in Oakland and we walked in on the basketball game and everybody started going nuts.”

“Like if you heard it you would just automatically know how to Crip walk with a stank face while clutching an Oscar in each hand with Marshawn Lynch,” Chet added. “Then dap him up and tell him ‘Town Bidness’ which solidified the win not only for Kendrick but the entire West Coast.” Chet Hanks is sometimes problematic and sometimes just hilarious. His explanation of the Drake-Kendrick beef is hilarious. Tom Hanks replied “Holy cow!” He added, “These are fighting words. People taking sides?? Who’s winning??” His son hilariously replied, “Did you not just read what I said,” with several crying emojis.

Luenell Blasts Diddy After Video Of Abuse Surfaces Online

by

Recently, a video purportedly showing Sean “Diddy” Combs abusing his ex-girlfriend Cassie in a hotel corridor went viral. The video, which dates from March 5, 2016, was exclusively obtained by CNN in the midst of Diddy’s continuing accusations. Comedian and actress Luenell released a statement in reaction to the video leak. She claims that Black women are the most “disrespected” group in society.  The comedian made a strong response to the video of abuse that made waves on social media this weekend. 

On Instagram, Diddy has responded in a formal manner. He expresses regret for his behavior in a video and says he has subsequently sought professional assistance. He says, “It’s so hard to think back on the worst periods of your life, but sometimes you just have to.” “I was f*cked up — I hit rock bottom — but I make no excuses.” Luenell said, “If Diddy had smacked JLo like that, drag her down the hallway, he’d been in jail eight years ago.” The comedian went on to say much more. Luenell is fed up with Diddy’s abuse.

A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk)

Luenell has expressed her thoughts on social media in the wake of the recently surfaced video. The video shows Diddy appearing to abuse his ex-girlfriend Cassie in a hotel corridor. The alleged event happened eight years ago. She stated that Sean Combs would have been incarcerated long ago if he had been shown on tape abusing Jennifer Lopez. The comedian went on to say, “Y’all will believe when we say that Black women are the most disrespected, underserved, under-believed women in society.”

According to Luenell, Diddy would likewise be in jail if he had done the same to a “snow bunny” or a “white woman with blonde hair and blue eyes.” However, since Cassie was a woman of color, he was able to continue living a free life. The comic clarified that women didn’t “report” assaults since their claims were never taken seriously. According to Luenell, Cassie became “involved” with Combs before to reaching adulthood. This fact exacerbated her situation and made it “so much easier to walk away” for Combs and “not catch a case.” Overall, Luenell concluded, “I feel so bad for Cassie. She’s married now, she got children, she’s living her life, but she’s like, ‘I’m gonna go stand up, if this sh*t is going to go down.” Luenell is fed up with Diddy and everything that has been alleged.
