JT’s Fans Claim She Disrespected Lil Uzi Vert On National Boyfriend’s Day
JT and Lil Uzi Vert have been dating since 2019. They are one of the longest lasting relationships in hip hop, excluding the marriages. Which is why fans were both surprised and disappointed that JT failed to post anybody on October 3. For context, October 3 is National Boyfriend’s Day. The rapper was called out online for what was perceived as a disrespectful move. The backlash grew so strong, in fact, that JT decided to hop on Instagram Live in an attempt to clear things up.
JT claimed that she wasn’t in a good headspace on National Boyfriend’s Day. “I was PMS’ing,” she said. “I was mean… like so b*tchy to my man.” The former City Girls rapper went on to reveal that she did have a post for Lil Uzi Vert planned. “I’m gonna make a post about my man on Instagram,” she claimed. “I was just like, looking for a song to use. I put ‘Cater 2 U,’ and then I put Keyshia Cole, ‘Trust.’” The Uzi Vert post never saw the light of day, however. JT didn’t have a reason why. “I don’t even know why I never got to post it,” she admitted. JT proceeded to delve into her own insecurities around sharing her life with the fans. She explained that she has a hard time opening up about her life, despite being “proud” of who she is with.

JT Claims She Forgot To Post About Lil Uzi Vert
“I’m just not that girl, and I want to become that girl,” the rapper claimed. “I wanna start being more posty, and letting y’all know… I got a man, I love my man. And I love my life.” JT’s told fans that her big reason for being reluctant is that she believes people would want to see her sad if she posted about how happy she was all the time. “I am a happy person,” she confirmed. “I have a great f*cking life… should show y’all more.” JT’s timing could not have been worse, in terms of public perception. The last time Lil Uzi Vert spoke on their girlfriend publicly, they went viral for all the right reasons.
Lil Uzi Vert gave a street interview on August 3. The woman interviewing Uzi attempted to get their phone number, but the rapper refused. “I got a girlfriend,” they explained. “[I’m] dating JT right now.” When pressed further on the matter, Lil Uzi Vert doubled down and made an even bolder statement. “[I’m] dating JT forever.” The woman jokingly noted that Uzi’s comments ruined their interview, but the clip quickly went viral on TikTok. Many fans championed Lil Uzi Vert for being loyal to JT and for being proud of their relationship in a public space.

Diddy’s Ex Bodyguard Alleges That Usher Was Hospitalized Following Diddy Assault
Gene Deal has had a lot to say following Diddy’s arrest. The man who previously worked as Diddy’s bodyguard claims that he saw lots of troubling behavior over the years. The most unnerving allegation Deal made yet, however, came to light on October 4. He went on The Art of Dialogue and alleged that Usher, one of Diddy’s proteges in the 1990s, was sexually assaulted by the mogul. Furthermore, Deal alleges Usher was in such bad shape following the assault that he was hospitalized.
Deal asserts that he was not around when the alleged assault and hospitalization took place. “I heard it from some music executives,” he explained. “I’m not gonna speak on they name. They may speak on it theyself.” The former bodyguard claimed that he didn’t know who Usher was at the time, because the singer was still establishing himself as an R&B star. “‘Puff send this little kid to the hospital,’” he alleges he was told. “‘Man, n**ga was bleeding from the butt.’ And that’s what was said.” Deal claimed that he was prompted to share this story because of the allegations that were recently made against Diddy.

Usher Claims He Saw “Curious Things” Living With Diddy
“They got kids coming forward,” Deal noted. “They said that he did that… That sh*t is crazy.” Deal was adamant, however, that he has no evidence as to whether the alleged Usher incident is true. “That’s just something that I heard,” he restated. The allegations that Gene Deal is referring to the claims made by Houston attorney Tony Buzbee. He announced that over 3,800 people have come forward and claimed that Diddy assaulted them. Of the 120 cases Buzbee has agreed to take on, he stated that one of them was nine years old at the time of the alleged assault.
“Most of these events and incidents occurred at parties,” Buzbee told reporters. “Typically after parties or album release parties, New Year’s Eve parties, Fourth of July parties. Something they called a puppy party or white parties.” Usher has not publicly responded to Gene Deal’s comments. He did, however, talk about the “wild” experiences he had being under Diddy’s wing. “It was curious,” he said during a Howard Stern appearance. “I got a chance to see some things… It was crazy.”

JT Taunts Haters As She Earns First Gold Plaque As A Solo Artist
Jay-Z Flexes A $3 Million Richard Mille Watch At Beyonce’s Sir Davis Whiskey Event
At Beyoncé’s Sir Davis whiskey launch in Paris, Jay-Z couldn’t help but flex his cash status that much more than the other stars present. Baller Alert recently reported on the one-of-a-kind Richard Mille watch that he wore to the event, which is worth $3 million. It’s an RM 66 Flying Tourbillion in red-orange sapphire, a model dedicated to rock and roll thanks to its depiction of a gold human skeleton hand forming the “horns” gesture. It’s Hov’s third commissioned piece from Richard Mille following his two custom RM models in blue and green sapphire, respectively. Neck and wrist don’t lie…
As for those previous watches, Jay-Z rocked the Richard Mille 56-01 Tourbillon Green Sapphire and his Richard Mille 056, “The Blue Print.” He’s an avid timekeeper fanatic, a true luxury chronometry nerd, and whatever other fancy words you can come up with to describe an obsession with tiny wrist clocks. We cna’t say we blame the New York legend. But he has other financial matters to attend to. Dame Dash’s auction of his Reasonable Doubt shares continues to be a contentious battle within the Roc and with the city of New York.

Jay-Z’s New Richard Mille
However, according to one Jaguar Wright, Jay-Z should one day sell these watches to cover settlement payments and legal fees. She’s been very vocally advocating for the acknowledgement of his alleged crimes, making Diddy-associated claims against him and calling him out for his silence amid that scandal. While these are all just allegations at the end of the day, it doesn’t deter other folks from wanting some form of address from the Roc Nation boss as for Sean Combs’ various allegations and federal case.
Meanwhile, another issue that Jay-Z remains quite tight-lipped about is this whole Super Bowl halftime show controversy. Does he have the sole say in who gets the headlining spot or not? Should Lil Wayne have headlined next year’s event in New Orleans instead of Kendrick Lamar? The takes are endless. Maybe it’s only a matter of time before Jay pops out with a public statement of any kind. He should probably check his $3 million Flying Tourbillion to follow up on that…

Lil Durk Sets The Record Straight On His Divisive Album Tracklist
Lil Durk is dropping his next album Deep Thoughts on October 18, continuing a pretty prolific run for one of Chicago’s biggest hip-hop stars. However, some fans couldn’t help but express a little confusion despite their excitement. See, news spread around the Internet that Smurk’s next project would be Love Songs 4 The Streets 3, executive produced by Rod Wave and with a tracklist to boot. It listed features such as Rod himself, Future, Morgan Wallen, Lil Baby, Sabrina Carpenter, Kai Cenat, and iShowSpeed, which obviously raised some eyebrows. Well, The Voice has spoken, and it turns out that LS4TS3 was all cap.
“Fake a** track list,” Lil Durk simply tweeted on Friday (October 4), and it didn’t take long for fans to connect the dots. Despite this confusion (and many fans’ disappointment that we won’t hear these curious collabs with the likes of streamers), there’s still a lot on the horizon and on the docket right now to excite die-hards. For example, Durk recently made his acting debut in the series finale for Power Book II: Ghost, which might open up a Hollywood door for him even further. Some viewers clowned the appearance, while others like co-star LaToya Tonodeo thought that he did great.

Lil Durk Calls Out Fake Tracklist
“I thought he killed it!” the actress told TMZ of Lil Durk’s turn on the TV show. “And I hope he keeps going with it. Like, you know, it’s the series finale… *sighs* it’s coming to an end. At least Power Book II: Ghost. But you know what they say, power never ends. So we shall see. […] I think [Lil Durk has a magical quality]. I think so, I mean, he was dope to work with. Super cool, super chill. Yeah, I hope he keeps it going. I hope [we’ll see a lot of him in the future in Hollywood]. I hope so. You’d have to ask him, but in my opinion, I hope so.”
What do you think? Do you want to see Lil Durk in more big-and-small-screen endeavors or do you agree with the trolling comments? Either way, he’s got a legit album coming very soon that should satisfy your hunger.

Kendrick Lamar Officially Submits “Not Like Us” For Grammys 2025 Consideration
Grammys season is upon us, and we already have a list of artists who have submitted their work for consideration at the 2025 awards ceremony. There’s Nicki Minaj with her Pink Friday 2 efforts, Beyoncé with COWBOY CARTER, Megan Thee Stallion’s MEGAN era, Doja Cat with Scarlet 2 CLAUDE… and Kendrick Lamar off of the strength of his sheer “biggest hater” title. Moreover, he submitted “Not Like Us” – and “Like That” alongside Future and Metro Boomin – for multiple categories, including Record/Song of the Year and Best Rap Song/Performance. In the case of the West Coast banger, it’s also up for Best Music Video.
With all that said, someone go hand him a Grammy right now! The Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef remains a very relevant discussion in hip-hop, even if the details these days comprise of petty IG unfollows, chart records, and a whole lot of new album speculation. It’s clear that we’ve moved on from the possibility of a Round 2 (or have we?), and that K.Dot will likely focus on other wider endeavors for his next moves and efforts.

Kendrick Lamar Opens His Mouth
After all, he has a Super Bowl halftime show performance to think about, too. Back to these awards, let’s clarify these Grammys submissions real quick. These aren’t nominations: think of it as a play-in tournament where committees pick between artists’ submissions and decide on the final roster of nominees, which they then deliberate over and vote on to pick a winner. We can’t help but wonder what OVO goons would prefer: a golden gramophone-less night for Kendrick Lamar whether in the nomination or award sense, or a win for him so they can call Drake a prophet for that one “Family Matters” line?
Either way, we’re hesitant to call this Kendrick Lamar’s final victory lap, only because that’s what many folks said about The Pop Out, the “Not Like Us” music video… You get it. Maybe he even sneaks a Drake jab into his upcoming movie. But whether or not this feud is finally over or still has legs, it’s undeniable that the merits of both “Not Like Us” and “Like That” are worthy of the Grammys’ praise far beyond its fighting words.
