Rick Ross Roasts Drake Over Victor Wembanyama Rejection

by

Rick Ross and Drake are currently beefing, and it has led to some pretty hilarious jabs from both sides. However, there is no doubt that Ross has been going the extra mile as of late. For instance, he even spoke about Drake and Millie Bobby Brown, which is one of those things most people try to steer clear of. Needless to say, it feels like nothing is off-limits right now. Having said that, it would appear as though Ross was just given some new material to work with.

This all comes from the mouth of JJ Redick, who recently told a fun story about Victor Wembanyama. Essentially, Wemby was invited to come on stage at a Drake concert. However, when he found out he couldn’t bring his teammates, he refused the opportunity. “There was a Drake concert in Austin and he got asked to come up on stage because Drake was doing that with a bunch of NBA guys this offseason,” Redick said. “And Wemby was like, ‘Can my teammates come up on stage with me? Because they are going to be at the concert with me.’ And Drake’s camp was like, ‘No.’ And he’s like, ‘Then I don’t want to do it.’”

Ross saw this story going viral, and decided to say something about it. “Respectfully declined. The young ones see it too,” Rozay said. It was a very obvious jab at Drake, and there is no doubt that Ross found this to be a great opportunity at a roast. Even if Wemby’s intentions were pure, somehow, he has now found himself in the midst of a rap feud. He truly is the most important rookie the NBA has ever had.

Let us know what you think about the feud between Ross and Drake, in the comments section down below. Do you feel as though all of this is way too petty? Who are you taking in the beef right now?

Ludacris Walks Back On Some Details Of Viral Justin Timberlake Story

by

Earlier this year during his appearance on an episode of Drink Champs, Ludacris told a pretty evocative story about an encounter with Justin Timberlake at the Grammys. It came back in 2007 when Luda finally broke through and took home the award for Best Rap Album for his record Release Therapy. The part of the story everyone seems to agree on is that he was loudly and excitedly celebrating backstage, as you’d expect after such a big win. When he originally told the story he claimed that a most spiteful sounding Timberlake criticized him for being so loud when others people didn’t win any Grammys.

Now, Ludacris is walking back on that claim. He recently appeared on Hot Ones with Sean Evans to answer some questions and eat some hot wings. The Justin Timberlake story came up during their conversation and Luda had to clarify some things. “The Internet went a little crazy with it. He definitely meant it, but it was no cursing out. He was behind the curtain and I was celebrating so openly and I was so loud. I think it was said more in fun, but there was definitely some truth behind it. Like, ‘OK, show’s not over. Stop celebrating so openly, I haven’t won any yet.’ With a smile on his face type of thing,” the rapper explained. Check out his full appearance on the unique interview show below.

Ludacris Amends His Justin Timberlake Story

Justin Timberlake is fresh off the release of his first new album since his much-maligned 2018 release Man Of The Woods. His new record is called Everything I Thought It Was and served up nearly 80 minutes of new music from the pop star. It was led off by the hit single “Selfish” which peaked in the high 20s on the Hot 100 and has hovered in the top 50 ever since.

What do you think of Ludacris updating his story about Justin Timberlake to make the singer look a little better? What do you think is the more accurate version of the story to what actually happened? Let us know in the comment section below.

Sexyy Red’s skyrocket to stardom has been impressive, to say the least. After “Pound Town” blew up, she went on to release her mixtape Hood Hottest Princess, which featured a remix of the viral hit featuring none other than Nicki Minaj. She’s since taken part in countless high-profile collabs with the likes of Drake, SZA, Latto, and more.

It’s already become a fan-favorite, with some listeners arguing that it’s worlds better than the original.

Tesla Cybertruck Recall: Thousands Of Vehicles In Needs Of New Accelerator Pedals

by

Some bad news for Elon Musk today as there was a massive Tesla Cybertruck recall. According to The Verge, almost every single Cybertruck has been hit with a recall. In total, this makes 3,878 Cybertrucks. The issue with the cars is that they could potentially have a fault accelerator pedal that gets stuck. Subsequently, this could lead to people getting into very serious accidents. Overall, it is not an ideal situation, and consumers want answers.

Moreover, this is especially disappointing for consumers considering how the truck took a long time to come out. Additionally, there have been numerous complaints about the car’s performance and whether or not it was worth the price tag.

Tyga And Blac Chyna Drop Custody Battle, Agree To Joint Custody

by

Since last year, rapper Tyga and model Blac Chyna began a custody battle over their son King. At first, things seemed pretty hostile as stories leaked out into the media of dissonance between the pair. One memorable story claimed that Chyna was attempting to settle things outside of court, but the rapper refused. As a part of the custody feud, both parents were required to take court-mandated parenting classes, which they both completed last year.

News of their legal battle has slowed down quite a bit since then. Back in December, it was reported that the pair were close to a solution but the legal process itself took a few months. Now the two have formally agreed on a solution to their custody dispute. The pair have agreed to joint legal and physical custody of their son while also settling matters like visitation and attorney fees. The full details of their agreement aren’t available but it appears to be about as amicable an ending to the situation as possible. Check out what is known about their agreement below.

Tyga And Blac Chyna End Custody Battle

Last month, Tyga made a surprise appearance on one of the biggest tours of 2024 so far. He joined Nicki Minaj on stage during an early stop on her Pink Friday 2 world tour, which just made a pair of stops in Canada. Afterwards Minaj showed the “Taste” rapper some love on social media thanking him for joining her on stage.

Another strange story that spawned from the couples custody battle was their son King’s baptism. Attendees reportedly had to sign a hefty non-disclosure agreement just to get in. The agreement allegedly included $500k in fines for anybody who broke the agreement and shared information or video from the event. What do you think of Tyga and Black Chyna ending their custody battle with seemingly amicable results? Do you think the agreement they settled on is more of a victory for one parent than another? Let us know in the comment section below.

Birdman Shuts Down Theories That Hip-Hop Has Become “Soft”

by

There’s been plenty of discourse about the current state of hip-hop as of late, particularly amid all of the viral rap beef taking place online. It’s sparked questions of whether or not hip-hop has become soft, as instead of hashing things out in the streets, artists’ new go-to is social media. During a recent appearance on Steve-O’s Wild Ride!, Birdman chimed into the debate, revealing whether or not he believes things have changed since his come-up in the 90s. According to him, things haven’t gotten better in terms of violence. In fact, he thinks things have gotten worse.

“F*ck no,” the Cash Money Records icon said of hip-hop becoming soft. “We was cool back then without social media, now these young n***as killing — it’s a different operation. You just got to know how to adjust either way. It’s a different time, from then to now.”

Birdman Says Violence Has Increased

He went on to note that social media makes it easier to start problems with people, and how immediately things can spread. “Back then, we didn’t have social media, so if you got a problem with a n***a, who gon’ know? ‘Cause you ain’t making songs about no n***a, but nowadays with social media, you got a problem, the whole world gon’ know. It’s just a different time and I just hope it get better, bro,” he said.

Birdman elaborated, noting how he hopes the violence will come to an end once and for all. “I don’t want to see people losing their lives, ’cause that’s happening,” he explained. “Even n***as rapping are not rapping. People really losing their lives over social media.” What do you think of Birdman’s take on the current state of hip-hop? Do you agree that it hasn’t become soft since he came up in the 90s?

Taylor Swift And Travis Kelce Surprisingly Reject Met Gala Invitation

by

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are saying no to the Met Gala despite both being invited to the star-studded event. Both apparently received individual invitations, and both RSVP’d “no,” which is a surprise. The event, which is always packed with A-List celebrities, will be without the couple of the moment. The Gala was another chance for the couple to make their big red carpet debut, something fans have been anticipating. The pair have been pretty low profile with their appearances, opting to be lowkey when attending big events.

Swift and Kelce were recently seen at Coachella. The two looked to have had a great time at the music festival. They shared intimate moments and vibed to whatever musical performance they found themselves at. Kelce made waves when he effortlessly picked up Swift during a concert. The gesture endeared him to fans even more as the Super Bowl champion showed off some of his NFL skills. The two also hung out with Ice Spice, who smoked weed beside the couple.

Taylor Swift Are Skipping The Met Gala

There is probably a good reason why Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are skipping the Met Gala. For Swift, the answer is pretty simple. The Grammy-winning recording artist is getting back on the road for her “Eras” Tour the same week the Met Gala takes place. Travis Kelce doesn’t have a scheduling conflict but is not going to show up without his partner. Kelce is someone whose profile outside of football has risen dramatically. He has been a star in the NFL for years but is now a pop culture figure in a much different capacity. The two seem to be genuinely together, so all the extra attention probably isn’t at the forefront of their minds.

Swift’s new album has been released, but internet music critics have panned it. They called it cringey and said the production was bland. Many are saying the rate at which Swift releases albums contributes to their quality. She releases albums yearly, and fans are saying it shows. Travis Kelce is chilling until the NFL training camp. So we will certainly see him by Taylor Swift’s side for the next few months. They just won’t be showing up to the Met Gala.
