Jennifer Lopez Holds Hands With Matt Damon Amid Ben Affleck Divorce

by

Jennifer Lopez is back on social media amid her divorce from Ben Affleck, and she’s making sure to head outside too. Moreover, she recently attended the Toronto International Film Festival for her new movie Unstoppable, for which Matt Damon is also a part of the team. In fact, new pictures (which you can view by clicking the “Via” link below) show them holding hands and having a conversation together. Damon and Affleck have been very good friends since they were children, so a lot of people expressed much interest in this interaction. Of course, this is all just gossip and hearsay, and we can’t imagine that J. Lo and Matt haven’t developed a friendship over the years.

“What fun, what a joy to do something with her,” Ben Affleck had said of working with Jennifer Lopez on Unstoppable, which he and Matt Damon helped produce. “See her be great, go to work with your wife, go to work with your best friend. If you don’t like who you’re working with, and if you have difficulty or trouble at work, I think it’s one of the things that can really cause depression, anxiety and pain for people… Can’t make it look like she’s doing it as a favor to me, but actually she is.”

Meanwhile, other salacious rumors around this split is Mariah Carey’s alleged glee over Jennifer Lopez’s struggles. “Mariah is really excited to be getting back to Vegas and looking forward to proving she’s still at the top of the game when it comes to putting on a show and bringing in ticket sales,” an allegedly close source reportedly told In Touch. “She’s extra excited to show that she’s still got it after J. Lo had to go and cancel her concert tour. […] [She] took a lot of pleasure in seeing her fall on her face. She believes it’s karma biting her in the butt because she’s not as talented as she thinks and way too arrogant.”

In other news, folks recently looked back at a clip of Jennifer Lopez picking between Ben Affleck and Diddy. She hilariously joked that she’d let both of them drown, but that’s obviously under a darker context these days. Nevertheless, this new Matt Damon interaction may be interesting, but it’s probably not amounting to anything. So don’t expect an update on this in the near future… But you never know!

Cam’ron Calls Out JAY-Z After The NFL Snubs Lil Wayne For Kendrick Lamar At Super Bowl LIX

by

Cam’ron thinks the NFL should’ve chosen Lil Wayne to headline Super Bowl LIX, considering the game is being held in New Orleans. He shared his take on Kendrick Lamar serving as the headliner during an episode of It Is What It Is after the league made the announcement on Sunday. He began by clarifying that he is a fan of Lamar and means no disrespect before going after JAY-Z.

“I love Kendrick Lamar, I loved the pop-out,” Cam started. “I think he’s one of the top artists of this generation, period. Hate the selection. It’s in New Orleans, and you don’t get Lil Wayne? That’s what we doing…not just Hot Boyz, Cash Money, all the songs Lil Wayne has done, whether it’s Blink 182…there’a no reason why Lil Wayne should not be performing at the Super Bowl.”

From there, Cam further accused JAY-Z of being the person responsible for stopping Wayne from performing. “It’s not really a secret. Lil Wayne had a problem with somebody before who’s kinda part of the organization running it. This is payback,” he stated. After Mase chimed in to note Wayne and Drake’s connection, Cam added: “Bro, it’s ridiculous…Lil Wayne not to be performing in New Orleans for the Super Bowl is egregious, and it gotta stop.” JAY-Z and Roc Nation are serving as strategic entertainment advisors for the performance. In a statement of his own, JAY praised Lamar for his “artistic vision” and said his “impact will be felt for years to come.”

Brooklyn OGs Claim Bobby Shmurda & Rowdy Rebel Fell Out

by

Apparently, the GS9 collective that partly pioneered Brooklyn drill is experiencing some trouble in paradise. Moreover, Brooklyn OGs claimed that Bobby Shmurda and Rowdy Rebel had a falling out over an NBA YoungBoy affiliation, and that Bobby can’t pass through certain neighborhoods. OG Product also reflected on Shmurda taking more prison time for Rowdy’s sake, citing this as a bad decision since he had much better career prospects that could’ve assisted them both a lot. The idea was apparently for them to do time together and come out together. Also, Product claimed that the “Hot N***a” MC took all his pictures with GS9 down on his Instagram.

As key members of that collective, hearing about this alleged rift between Bobby Shmurda and Rowdy Rebel is disheartening. Previously, Rowdy had some choice words for Shmurda’s comments about King Von. “I cud never beef with my brother Bobby. He free’d me from a whole bid. But yu other n***as hurd what I said. I SAID WHAT I SAID.” Bobby was actually speaking on Rebel’s own reflections on the Von beef, so it was a complicated game of telephone.

Bobby Shmurda & Rowdy Rebel Allegedly Parted Ways

“I felt like that s**t came out wrong,” Bobby Shmurda said of Rowdy Rebel’s comments. “He meant it in a good way, like that he wished that none of that s**t would’ve happened because he’s a fan of both. But sometimes, you can’t talk on other people’s s**t. Period. Rowdy’s probably in the wrong for that… but he ain’t mean it in the wrong way. He coming from a… older Black guy looking at young Black guys and liking both of their music. It’s like sometimes these emotions are going to come out. So when emotions is high, you don’t want to talk on situations. Sometimes, you gotta say, ‘Man, I just wish the best for everybody,’ and that’s it. Keep it at that. Shut the f**k up and don’t say s**t about the situation.”

Meanwhile, Bobby Shmurda has other possible rap beef opponents to worry about, such as Rick Ross. This reported issue with Rowdy Rebel is another mystery, but hopefully one that we get answers for soon. After all, this duo did too much for their scene for them to see this disappointing end. We’ll see if either of them address this…

DJ Akademiks Claims Drake’s “Game 2” Has Nothing To Do With Another Kendrick Lamar Battle

by

Now that Kendrick Lamar has announced his Super Bowl halftime show, many fans are wondering what Drake really meant with his “Game 2” teases. For those unaware, Kendrick seemed to call out The Boy’s hints towards another round by proclaiming that there’s only one shot at winning a championship. But fans didn’t really know how to interpret this IG burner tease from the 6ix God, which consisted of Rasheed Wallace saying that the Pistons will “win Game 2.” They went on to win the series, and DJ Akademiks is the latest person to suggest that this supposed victory in the long run is what he’s trying to refer to here.

“‘Game 2’ has nothing to do with running back the rap Battle between Drake and Kendrick,” DJ Akademiks tweeted. Most likely, people advocating for this “Game 2” are concerned more with sales, commercial performance, and industry dominance than actual rap battles and beef. Many folks are rallying against Jay-Z now, for example, and have this “rich man versus rich man” approach as they pick their favorite capitalist to pettily use the industry to one-up each other through. And while Kendrick Lamar is performing at the Super Bowl, Drizzy is one of the ambassadors for FIFA World Cup 2026, which will take place across North America. So what do you care about in hip-hop: the money or the music? We know Ak’s answer…

DJ Akademiks Says “Game 2” Is Not About Kendrick Lamar Versus Drake

“But Game 2, we will win,” DJ Akademiks had previously shared. “Game 2, we will win. That’s a fact. If you think Drake finna abandon and forsake all them fans, you got to realize, this for the fans right here. You think he gon’ let some p***y a** n***as have something over him, his legacy, and his fans? No! Aye, chat, f**k that. This the new thing: Drake in five. Drake in five, people, Drake in five. Remember I told you that. No, no, no, no, we ain’t doing six. Five. What’s understood don’t need to be explained. Y’all are going to watch it. Listen, listen, we got to see where the game starts. We got to see, bro. Just watch Game 2, bro. Just watch Game 2.”

What you won’t hear from OVO fans, though, is that they just want any excuse for Drake to “beat” Kendrick Lamar, whereas Kendrick fans have all the proof they wanted. At least both sides mostly agree that Lil Wayne should’ve had the headlining slot instead, and that goes for every other New Orleans Super Bowl. Regardless, we’ll see how this all continues to develop. Hopefully one day we can talk about these MCs without having to mention the other.

Lil Wayne Performing At Super Bowl LIX Would Be A “Big Mistake,” Art Director Argues

by

Art Director Shaun Harrison says it’d be the “biggest mistake ever” to have Lil Wayne headline the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show. Claiming to have “worked with” Wayne before on a Grammy performance in the past, he explained why he feels the hometown artist would be the wrong choice in a post on social media. The take comes after the NFL announced Kendrick Lamar will be headlining the event on Sunday.

“I’ve ‘worked with’ Lil Wayne before for Grammy performance and personal feelings that would be the biggest mistake ever putting him as the headliner for the biggest performance of the year The Super Bowl,” Harrison wrote. “He showed up to zero rehearsals we didn’t even think he would make the performance then last minute he was in the building and ran on stage for the performance and ran off back into oblivion lol. Never even got to meet him after week of rehearsals for a show. Kendrick Lamar is one of the greatest rap performers ever and unapologetically black in his message and it’s during black history month, it’s going to be a spectacle!” In a follow-up post on his Instagram Story, Harrison further argued: “Not to mention Dr. Dre is the only to be from the state the Super Bowl is in… so the argument is moot, that’s never been a prerequisite.”

Since the NFL announced that Lamar will be headlining the event, fans on social media have been calling for Wayne to at least make an appearance during the show. Even Master P came out and said he deserves to be recognized. “As Ambassador of Entertainment in the City of New Orleans I have to agree with the fans that Lil Wayne should be a part of this celebration as well,” he wrote online. “He’s one of the greatest Hip Hop artists alive, still relevant and he’s a New Orleans native. Let’s not miss this cultural moment in the South. Life is too short! We have to give our legends their flowers while they are here. #Godisgood Change starts with us.”

Diamond The Body Apologizes To Tesehki After Getting Her Tooth Knocked Out

by

For the Baddies fans out there, you know that things can get messy real quick. One recent fight in the reality TV show’s orbit got particularly bloody, as Tesehki allegedly knocked out Diamond The Body’s tooth at the franchise’s reunion. This followed a whole lot of social media clowning and fights which even escalated into a boxing challenge that is more ironic in hindsight than anything. The gloves really did come off, huh? Nevertheless, it seems like Diamond regrets what happened here, as she recently took to Instagram to bury the hatchet.

“Just because I didn’t mean any harm in anything I said online and because it was all jokes to me doesn’t mean it wasn’t received with harm,” Diamond’s apology to Chrisean Rock’s sister and others began. “I can’t determine how someone took in wat I said or how it made them feel … so for that I have to take accountability.. sorry to everyone that I’ve trolled on a tv show or online after a tv show !! I can always admit when I’m wrong !!

Diamond The Body’s Apology To Tesehki

“Sorry Nat sorry seki and anyone else I put in my ‘hitlist,’” Diamond continued. “I’m not built for this my hear too big hope we can all put it past us and move on [red heart emoji]. And to be clear I [do] not want to come back to Zeus. I appreciate the platform they put me on to reach the people that I have reached. I’m forever grateful to Zeus Network I did wat needed to be done. I got the clout I was looking for now yall stream my music.” Then, Tesehki seemed to reply to this message on Instagram with a somewhat surprising comment: “I accept your apology.”

Meanwhile, Natalie Nunn had posed with Diamond’s tooth after the Tesehki fight to mock her. “What happened to the pose for me post,” she mockingly captioned her video with the tooth. “Hahahaha diamond the body your amazing but your dentist sucks [three laughing-crying emojis] ur teeth was falling out left and right !! [three crying emojis] u just had a whole video up what happened ??? It’s down now ?? Please stay tuned baddie’s Caribbean.”

Reginae Carter Stirs The Pot Further Amid Lil Wayne-Kendrick Lamar Super Bowl Debate

by

There continues to be a lot of arm wrestling over who deserves this upcoming Super Bowl Halftime Show performance more. With the 59th game being in New Orleans, Louisiana for now the eleventh time (third this century), fans of Weezy are furious and want answers as to why he was “robbed” once again. In fact, even other artists in hip-hop are hoping that Kendrick Lamar will do everyone a favor and bring out Lil Wayne. However, there are still quite a lot of big names backing the kid from Compton, especially the man who was responsible for selecting him.

“Kendrick Lamar is truly a once-in-a-generation artist and performer,” Jay-Z said. “His deep love for hip-hop and culture informs his artistic vision. He has an unparalleled ability to define and influence culture globally. Kendrick’s work transcends music, and his impact will be felt for years to come”. Overall, Hov makes a lot of great points, and with the year that he’s having and the potential for a new album coming soon, it was a pretty safe and reasonable pick. However, this is not going to stop the Wayne supporters from dubbing this as a massive injustice.

A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk)

Perhaps the MCs biggest fan, –eldest child and only daughter– Reginae Carter, certainly feels that same way. In a vague and timely tweet, the model and entrepreneur simply stated that “They envy greatness !!!!”. However, not many people in The Neighborhood Talk comment section are feeling this response to her father not being selected. Instead, its gotten her tons of backlash from fans of Lamar. “The Kendrick hate is hilarious dawg. That man is an artist in every way possible now nobody likes him out of nowhere 😂”, one user writes back. “The Super Bowl has been in Louisiana 10 times…Why didn’t yall call for Lil Wayne in any of those other games? Because yall hating on Kendrick…& Newsflash they don’t pick the artist in connection with where the game is played…Dr Dre was a special case”.

There’s a good chance that this debate continues for a long time, so be sure to stick around for any updates. What are your thoughts on Reginae Carter’s tweet during the Lil Wayne-Kendrick Lamar Super Bowl debate? Do you think that JAY-Z and Roc Nation made the right choice, why or why not? Is the disdain for Kendrick right now valid or unjustified? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

Diddy Returns To Harlem With His Friends Amid Mounting Legal Battle

by

Diddy’s movement amid his various lawsuits and accusations of misconduct is a very tough code to crack. Of course, he has to be very careful with where he goes and he probably isn’t in any rush to interact much with people who might harass or chastise him publicly. But Sean Combs’ very minimal public moves and sightings for almost a year now might change soon. After putting his infamously raided Los Angeles mansion up for sale, he returned to his birthplace of Harlem, New York. There, the Bad Boy mogul linked up with some friends, which we’re sure was a heartening affair.

Elsewhere, one of Diddy’s accuser’s lawyers recently responded to his team’s motion to dismiss the case. “At this time, the plaintiff seeks leave of the court to amend its complaint to withdraw the negligent infliction of emotional distress claim against corporate defendants and to add additional facts to remedy the issues in the pleading identified by the defendants in their respective motions to dismiss,” Tyrone Blackburn stated as a legal representative of April Lampros.

Diddy In Harlem

“[Diddy and Bad Boy Records’] counsels attach themselves to a single sentence of an opinion of an unrelated case to try and classify the plaintiff’s pleading as ‘salacious’ or meritless with the sole intent of forcing defendants to ‘settle,’” Blackburn continued. “For starters, plaintiff never requested a settlement from defendants [Diddy] and [Bad Boy Records]. The plaintiff intends to hold [Diddy] and [Bad Boy] accountable for their actions before a jury of their peers.

“Secondly, although this writer picks his clients, he does not pick their facts,” Blackburn concluded. “If [Diddy] had not engaged in salacious criminal behavior, this writer would not have had anything salacious to file. [Diddy’s] counsels should spend their time teaching him lessons he clearly missed growing up as a child: 1. No means no, and 2. men should never put their hands (or feet) on women.” We’ll see what other updates emerge in this legal saga. In the meantime, it looks like Puff Daddy can still enjoy life and connect with the outside world… Even if what’s allegedly going on beneath might lead to him losing it all.
