Young Thug will have his work cut out for him to get home soon. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has been adamant about putting the YSL mogul behind bars. “It does not matter what your notoriety is or what your fame is. If you come to Fulton County, Georgia, you commit crimes, and certainly if those crimes are in furtherance of a street gang, then you are going to become a target and a focus of this district attorney’s office, and we are going to prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law,” she said after his arrest.

Having been in jail for over a year, the court is still searching to narrow down a jury for the lengthy case. Before that happens, Thug has been denied bond four times. His attorney, Brian Steel, argues that Thug isn’t a risk if allowed out of jail. “Mr. Williams is not a risk to commit a crime and he’s not a risk to flee the jurisdiction and that’s what bond is about,” Steel told ABC News back in April. Be on the lookout for further updates on Thug’s case on HotNewHipHop.

Rihanna Shouts Out RXKNephew In New TikTok

by

If you haven’t heard of RXKNephew yet, we implore you to go put on a song from one of his four (four!) projects he’s dropped in 2023 while you read this article. Of course, he’s an incredibly prolific artist, but the 29-year-old Rochester native boasts much more than a seemingly endless body of work. Neph is a bizarre storyteller, a hilarious presence lyrically and delivery-wise, master of off-beat and ramble flows, and is able to broach harsh topics of paranoia, violence, hardship, and identity through some of the nuttiest, most vivid, and most tough-as-nails verses and beats you’ll hear. All that said, that fact that Rihanna might have introduced you to him is an insane possibility, yet that’s exactly what she did with her latest TikTok.

Moreover, RiRi’s latest contribution on the social media platform is a simple POV clip of her walking. But there’s one big factor that steals the show- well, two, if you count the huge diamond ring on one of her toes. Still, diamond flexes are nothing new for the “Diamonds” singer. The TikTok’s audio is RXKNephew’s track “I Love My Girlfriend.” On that track, he takes joy in the fact that his girlfriend is apparently just as wild as he is. “My girlfriend like robbin’ n***as,” he raps in various voices over a jittery trap beat.

Rihanna Cosigns RXKNephew With Latest TikTok

With Rihanna’s new album still nowhere to be seen, a collab with RXKNephew (however unlikely) would be an absolute ankle breaker, and we won’t give up on the possibility until it lands. In addition, this opens up a whole lot of questions on whether they’ve met, how she came across the song, or how she found his work in general. After all, A$AP Rocky is from New York, as well, and he’s surely still in tune with much of the underground scene. In any case, if the work of Neph and similar artists like Zelooperz, frequent collaborator Rx Papi, and other is unknown to you, let this TikTok be a sign that there’s some homework on your desk.

Meanwhile, the Barbadian singer also showed love to the New York hip-hop of the past as of late. Well, the Wu-Tang Clan is so influential and beloved that it’s pretty much always hip-hop of the present. The couple named their son RZA after the legendary producer and continued a tradition in Rocky’s family of honoring rap pioneers.

Janet Jackson’s Performances Slammed By Nephew For “Degrading & Objectifying” Women

by

When you’re in a family as big as Janet Jackson is, there’s bound to be drama from time to time. The most recent tidbit of gossip to catch the eye of bloggers comes from TJ Jackson’s Twitter page, where he markedly shared his thoughts on his aunt’s past performances. His comments came in response to another user who shared a salacious video of the R&B vocalist grinding on a man and feeling him up as the audience watched on.

“I never liked when she did this in concerts either” he explained, proving that he’s not hypocritical for calling out Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion over their controversial “WAP” song in other tweets. “I don’t like when females are overly sexualized in art… It degrades and [objectifies] women in a way that’s not healthy,” he went on to say. Afterward, he confirmed that he has a preference for the “That’s The Way Love Goes” version of Janet.

Jackson Family Drama

TJ’s comments didn’t take long to earn him dozens of angry and confused replies, many of which he gave the time of day to. When asked by a follower what his thoughts would be on a similar performance from a male, he explained, “It’s unfair, but men aren’t as objectified as women. Nevertheless, to me, it diminishes it and leads to other stereotypes.” The way the singer sees it, “vulgarity is not art,” rather, it’s used to create shock and awe.

“[It] can lead to perceptions, and even worse, role models that don’t help our advancement,” his post concluded. Despite those continuing to come at him, the 44-year-old made it clear in several well-written tweets that his stance is what it is, but he still has love for his aunt. Elsewhere in the debate, others tried to call out TJ for trashing Janet when the “Rhythm Nation” artist‘s brother was known as something of a sex symbol during his prime.

TJ Defends His Late Uncle, Michael

“So when Michael grabbed his crotch and even got his video banned for vulgarity, did that diminish his art?” one person pressed TJ. “[Because] you could argue he, at times, was more vulgar than Janet,” they added. Not long after, MJ’s nephew came to his late uncle’s defense. “His videos never objectified women,” the father of four pointed out.

He then wrote, “That’s my issue. I can’t understand why you would be okay with that. I’m trying to teach my daughters to be queens, not hoes.” Do you think that Janet Jackson’s past performances were too sexy? Sound off in the comments, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.
