Fans Think Future Dissed Gunna On New Song “Allure” And Here’s Why
Future and Gunna are two of Atlanta’s biggest rappers. They have an impressive resume when it comes to collabs, as evidenced by hits like “Pushin’ P” and “Too Easy.” Gunna’s involvement in the Young Thug trial, however, has soured his relationships with several other names in the industry. Future is among the most notable. There’s seemingly tension between the two, based on the lack of collabs they’ve put out and subliminal statements they’ve made via social media. Now, fans believe that Future has taken subs and put them in a song.
Future dropped a slick guest verse on the new Ferg single “Allure.” It’s an absolute banger of a song, for one. The Atlanta rapper appears to still be in Mixtape Pluto mode, which is very much an amazing thing for fans. The closer fans listened to his “Allure” verse, though, the more theories began to swirl that the rapper was actually taking aim at Gunna. The lyrics don’t mention Gunna by name, but it’s hard to listen to the wording and not imagine that he’s the target. And we don’t use the word “target” lightly, either.

Future Allegedly References Gunna’s Death
“You done took a plea on my slime,” Future raps. “Won’t be surprised if you ended up dead.” It’s very clear that Pluto is taking about his friend Young Thug when he says slime. It’s also pretty easy to infer that Gunna is going to be the one who could end up, well “dead.” This is the most pointed that a Pluto diss has ever gotten. He rapped the first verse and the chorus of “Like That,” the diss song that broke the rap game open in 2024, and was still more vague. It speaks to the rapper’s seeming frustration with Gunna, if in fact these bars are aimed at him.
We know that Future doesn’t play when it comes to Young Thug. During a 2020 interview with Apple Music, the Atlanta rapper spoke in depth about how much he valued their friendship. “That’s my twin,” he asserted. “There’s me and then there’s him. … When you mention Thug you mention me. It’s like one.” The two even collaborated on the 2017 album Super Slimey. Interestingly enough, Future isn’t the only person in Young Thug’s life to lobby an alleged threat at Gunna. Young Thug’s kids uploaded a diss to Gunna back in July. The YSL rapper was not pleased.

Joe Budden Celebrates The Rumored Cancelation Of Lil Yachty’s Podcast
Lil Yachty has seemingly gone from one drama to the next in 2024. The rapper formerly known for his fun-loving attitude and friendship with Drake has become a headline grabber. First, there was the whole situation in which he announced he won’t be doing interviews anymore because of the way the internet reacted to his comments. Then, there was the Karrahbooo situation (read more about it here). Now, it’s Lil Yachty’s podcast, A Safe Place. And Joe Budden is loving all of it.
Lil Yachty has been co-hosting A Safe Place Podcast since June 2023. There have been several notable rappers who have appeared, but it appears as though the pod’s days are numbered. Yachty’s consistent co-host, MitchGoneMad, tweeted out that he’s going to be needing a new job. “Currently practicing my putting the fries in the bag technique will update you soon,” he wrote. When asked when a new episode is coming out, he responded: “Ngl i think bro rolling up that podcast in a backwood as we speak.” Joe Budden has been watching all of this unfold, and he decided to celebrate the news on his podcast.

Joe Budden Played ‘Another One Bites The Dust’ On His Pod
Budden and the rest of his team read Mitch’s tweets, then decided to flex their podcasting muscle. They threw on the Queen song “Another One Bites the Dust,” as a means of celebrating the end of the Lil Yachty podcast experiment. “I know what he said,” Joe Budden noted in regard to Mitch’s tweets. “Hell is about to break loose!” Anybody who has a working knowledge of Budden and Lil Yachty know that there is no love lost between them. If anything, they have disliking each other from afar for nearly a decade.
Joe Budden went nuclear on Lil Yachty during a 2017 episode of Everyday Struggle. He got seethingly angry over the notion that Boat was young and just wanted to have fun. Memes ensued, and it remains one of the most iconic pieces of hip hop media in the 2010s. The tension hasn’t died down, though. Lil Yachty claimed that he would “smoke” Budden if they were to rap on a song together during Budden’s appearance on, you guessed it, A Safe Place Podcast. “If you give me one of them Metroid beats,” the podcaster joked. “Then you will have the better verse.” Well, guess Joe got the last laugh.

The Footage Took Place At Diddy’s Home In 2022
Context can shift a whole lot. Those in attendance don’t seem bothered by Diddy’s announcements. In truth, several of the comments under the TMZ upload on YouTube point out that his comments were not especially incriminating. The reason the outlet picked it up, though, is the context of what has Diddy has been accused of. A celebrity photographer recently spoke to the New York Post about the parties they attended. The photographer, Selma Fonseca, claimed to have attended between 20-30 parties dating back to the 1990s.
Fonseca claimed that Diddy parties were always lavish affairs, with the best food and guests. She did recall one instance in which her camera was confiscated after she took a photo of Diddy and a girl she had never seen before. Despite this intense interaction, Fonseca claims that she never saw anything along the lines of what Diddy is being charged with. “I was surprised at the same time because I’ve never seen anything,” Fonseca asserted. “I’ve been around this guy so many times… I used to see him probably once a month or more.” Diddy is currently being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.

KSI Challenges Jake Paul To A Fight After His New Song Gets Roasted
No, KSI and Jake Paul have not boxed each other before. You’d be forgiven for making that mistake, though. KSI boxed Jake’s older brother, Logan, in a highly-publicized 2018 match. Jake Paul was on the undercard, and he actually fought KSI’s younger brother, Deji. KSI vs Jake Paul is a concept that’s been floated for several years, however, with both sides voicing a desire to make it happen. It just never has. Both men have been busy with their own careers. Jake Paul is gearing up to fight Mike Tyson, so we get why KSI is not high on his priority list. Well, at least he wasn’t.
When KSI isn’t streaming or boxing, he’s recording music. He just dropped a new song with Trippie Redd titled “Thick of It,” and despite the famous feature, it has not performed well. The internet has lit up KSI’s latest offering. It’s easy to see why. “Thick of It” lacks any real song structure, and consensus is that KSI raps about as convincingly as Ed Sheeran (not a compliment). Jake Paul couldn’t resist getting in on the roast session. He tweeted a bait-and-switch punchline that his social media peer didn’t like. “Thank you KSI my hero,” Paul’s tweet read. “My 83 year old grandpa hasn’t been able to walk in years. But when you released this song… He finally stood up and turned this sh*t off.”

KSI Didn’t Take Kindly To Jake Paul’s Trolling
Not the most original insult, but an effective one. KSI did not waste any time firing back at Jake Paul and issuing a challenge to him. “Looks like you’ve got your next opponent lined up then,” he tweeted back in response. KSI vs Jake Paul is something that fans have mostly given up on. It’s been teased for so long that there’s actually a Wikipedia article dedicated to their “proposed” bout. Both men know that it would net them massive paydays, though, so perhaps the wheels are already in motion.
It’s worth noting that KSI discussed the idea of fighting Jake Paul recently. He appeared on the Logan Paul podcast Impaulsive, and made it clear he still wants to throw hands. The younger Paul has focused on fighting the aforementioned Tyson, but Logan proposed a solution. He told KSI that both men should attend his wedding and settle it once and for all at the ceremony. “I’ll invite you, I’ll invite Jake and we’ll just settle it bro, I’ll be okay with that.” We’ll see if the fight actually comes to fruition soon!

Lil Pump Sued By Man Who Alleges The Rapper Assaulted Him On Stream
Do you remember the last big Lil Pump song? Neither do we. The rapper has become a lightning rod for controversy. So much so, in fact, that it’s overshadowed the reason he became famous in the first place. The only time we seem to hear about the Harverd Graduate, it’s because he said something outrageous or made a bold political statement. This latest headline, however, is because Lil Pump was accused of doing something outrageous. A man named Edwin Valenzuela is suing the rapper for allegedly beating him up during a live stream.
Lil Pump is being sued by Valenzuela over a live stream that took place on August 12, 2024. The latter is an Uber driver, according to In Touch Weekly. He transported Pump and YouTuber Vitaly Zdorovetskiy to a location to shoot an episode of Catching Predators. The premise of the streaming show, as outlined in the suit, is to catch pedophiles and then subject them to pranks and abuse as a result. “Public pranks that push the boundaries of comfort and legality,” the suit added. Valenzuela claimed Lil Pump and Vitaly proceeded to corner him. They allegedly read fake messages in which the Plaintiff “talked” to minors.

Lil Pump Is Being Sued For Civil Conspiracy Assault
Despite Valenzuela’s protests, he alleges Lil Pump and Vitaly started to beat him up. He alleges that Lil Pump punched him in the head and proceeded to kick him in the stomach once he fell to the ground. It gets worse. Valenzuela alleges that Pump and Vitaly urged him to eat a used condom by putting it on his ear. Furthermore, the suit claims that the rapper threatened to feed the Uber driver to gators. “Plaintiff was bombarded by verbal abuse, including racial slurs,” the suit claimed. “Defendants screaming in his face. All while being urged by an attorney to sign a release for a ‘gameshow.’”
Valenzuela is suing Lil Pump for civil conspiracy assault, false imprisonment, civil theft and battery. He is reportedly seeking unspecified damages. This is not the first time the Catching Predators stream has led to legal action. SportSkeeda reported that Vitaly was sued by a man who claims he was wrongfully called a predator during a June live stream. Conversely, the controversial YouTube star threatened to sue Offset when the rapper failed to show up to a Catching Predators shoot in August.

DDG Confirms Breakup From Halle Bailey With Heartfelt Statement
DDG and Halle Bailey seemed like a perfect match. The rapper/YouTuber and singer went public with their romance in 2022, and a year later, they started a family. Sadly, the relationship appears to have come to an end. DDG, born Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr., confirmed the split to the world on October 3rd. The musician posted a lengthy statement on Instagram, assuring fans that he and Bailey are still best friends and plan to co-parent their son.
DDG claimed that lots of discussion went into the decision to break up. “We believe it’s the best path forward for both of us,” he wrote. “I cherish the time we’ve spent together and the love we’ve shared.” The rapper and YouTuber made it very clear that there are no hard feelings between him and Bailey. In fact, the former couple consider themselves to be best friends. “We are still best friends and we adore each other,” he added. “We cherish the bond we’ve built and the beautiful moments we’ve shared.” He also requested that the fans of both be supportive during this difficult transitional period.

DDG Alluded To Relationship Woes In A 2023 Song
There have been rumors swirling that not all was what it seemed between DDG and Halle Bailey. In 2023, the former released the song “Famous.” The lyrics on the song allude to Bailey kissing her Little Mermaid co-star Jonah Hauer-King during the press tour for the Disney film. This was something that rubbed the rapper the wrong way, evidently. “Filmin’ a movie, now you kissing dudes. You know I love you a lot,” DDG rapped. “I don’t give a f*ck if that sh*t for promo / I don’t wanna see this sh*t no more.” Other lines allude to DDG being “insecure” about his relationship.
There were also allegations that DDG was being unfaithful to Bailey during their relationship. The rumors swirled because DDG’s ex, Rubi Rose, tweeted: “Having ur b*tch [wear] my clothes is crazy lol,” which of course led to speculation that she was referring to the rapper. To make matters worse, Rose shared a few screenshots of alleged DM conversations in which DDG asked about her location. “Nobody cheated on nobody,” DDG tweeted in response, seemingly putting an end to the allegations. Now, unfortunately, the relationship has come to an end as well.
