Ice Spice Fan Appears To Faint During Her Rolling Loud Miami Set

Ice Spice recently took on Rolling Loud Miami, performing her hits to a crowd of eager fans. One fan, however, looked to get a little bit too excited. In a gag posted on Rolling Loud’s TikTok, a man frantically shouts in support of the rapper as she performs on stage. When she turns her back to the audience and begins to twerk, the man drops to the ground. The superfan appeared to pass out, and security flocked to him to fan him off. He’s then seen being carried away by personnel.

The 23-year-old performed her brand new track “Deli” for the first time over the weekend, dubbing herself “miss poopie” in some snaps from the fest. The rapper rocked a simple, cropped pink velour jacket and denim shorts, complete with some fishnet tights and a pair of boots.

Ice Spice At Rolling Loud Miami

On Friday (July 21), Ice Spice also dropped the deluxe edition of her Like..? EP. She delivered fans four new tracks. In two of them, she appears to take aim at her fellow female MC, Latto. On “Butterfly Ku,” Ice Spice raps, “Where she at? On the floor / She gettin’ money, but I’m gettin’ more.” Fans quickly noticed that she appears to be referencing Latto’s hit “Put It On Da Floor.” Lyrics to the deluxe EP’s opener “How High?” also seemingly dissed Latto. She raps, “Now she all on the floor when I kick in the door / How you mad I do less ’cause you gotta do more?” 

Ice Spice has been rising to the top for months now, recently appearing alongside Nicki Minaj on the Barbie movie soundtrack. The duo previously took over the charts with their “Princess Diana (Remix)” collab earlier this year. During a recent interview with Zane Lowe, Ice Spice detailed how emotional it was for her to meet her collaborator. She revealed that she even started crying when Nicki hugged her, calling the meeting a “full-circle moment.”

Kodak Black’s Artist Syko Bob Posts Up With Foogiano In “Scary” New Prison Photo

A new photo of Syko Bob posing in prison alongside Foogiano and another inmate has gone viral. Various users are saying that Kodak Black’s artist looks spooky in the photo, with some even claiming that he appears to need an “exorcism.” “Syko Bob really look like a demon,” one user writes. Another says, “keep him in there.” Someone else adds that the artist “looks like he don’t wanna be a part of society.”

In December of 2022, Syko Bob pleaded guilty to a gun possession charge. He was sentenced to five years behind bars earlier this year. He was arrested on various charges after a traffic stop in the beginning of 2022. The charges included DUI, carrying a concealed firearm, possession of a controlled substance, and more. According to reports, the artist was seen driving over the speed limit in Collier County, FL at 3 a.m. Law enforcement later searched his vehicle, allegedly finding a bag of marijuana and a loaded gun.

Users Compare Syko Bob To A “Demon”

Back in 2021, Syko Bob was a victim of a drive-by shooting in Florida. The shooting appeared to be targeted. The artist and two other victims were driving in the middle of the day when the attack took place, and were later taken to a Broward-area hospital. The witness who took them to the hospital, Tristan Johnson, later spoke on the incident. “I could hear one of the guys, you could hear the blood in his throat like as he’s talking so I’m trying to hurry up and get [to the hospital],” he explained. “If it was me and someone shot me and I needed help,” he continued, “I would want someone to take me as well.”

Lt. Michael Santiago of the Lauderhill Police Department later claimed that Syko Bob and his affiliates failed to provide much information in the case. “All three victims refused to cooperate with the investigation and provided no details on the events,” he explained.

Amber Rose Is Unrecognizable In New Photos, OnlyFans Model Claps Back At Colourism Comments

39-year-old Amber Rose has come a long way since first stepping into the celebrity world as Kanye West’s girlfriend over a decade ago. In that time we’ve seen her explore a variety of different styles, both with her hair and fashion choices. Of course, the multi-talent is best known for her platinum blonde buzzed head, but she likes to throw on a wig from time to time to keep us on our toes.

During a recent trip to New York City, the mother of two wore a long, icy white wig in a wavy style, leading some to mistake her for Christina Aguilera or the late Jacky Oh when she shared an Instagram photo dump on Sunday (July 9). The post kicks off with a candid shot of Rose walking down the street, her head turned to the side as a few tresses of hair blow in front. Her outfit of the day was a pink dress with a woman’s bodacious body across her curves along with groups of flowers. The Philly native also added a tiered silver necklace, drawing further emphasis to her chest area.

Not long after Rose updated her feed, trolls began to bring up the topic of colourism, which she obviously quickly shut down. “Apparently me being born perpetuates colourism in the Black community 🙄,” she wrote in @theshaderoom’s comment section. “It’s genetics, I can’t help how I look. I don’t try to be anything that I’m not. Just remember, white enslavers started colourism to pin us against each other, yet in 2023 we’re still having this st*pid a** conversation,” Amber continued.

“I’m BLACK and WHITE, now leave me the f**k alone about how I look,” the socialite demanded. “I am NOT no f**king white woman, stop playing with me. I’m not just a Black woman either. It’s unfair to Black women and their experiences for me to even say that.”

Pharrell Flexes On Kendrick Lamar With “Millionaire Speedy” Bag

Recently, photos that show Pharrell Williams flexing his Louis Vuitton Speedy are circulating the internet. In the photos, Pharrell shows the bag to Kendrick Lamar, appearing to be in the process of explaining details. The bag, dubbed the “Millionaire Speedy,” is reportedly worth $1 million. Kendrick seems to be impressed by the expensive, bright yellow duffle. The bag is meant to “[conjure] the attitude and hustle mentality of Canal Street in an everyday icon conceived for every walk of life,” according to a LV press release.

“Every part on the bag is [gold],” Pharrell explained in June, “This is different.” He continued, “This is called the Millionaire. It comes with millionaires.” “Every bit of the bag is gold like the zipper,” he also says, “the teeth on the zipper is gold, all the hardware, every rivet. This is gold. Obviously diamonds. This chain is real. It has a real strap but you know — so be it, so be it.”

Pharrell Shows Off His Million Dollar Louis Vuitton

The striking bag is part of Pharrell’s recently-debuted Louis Vuitton Spring-Summer 2024 menswear collection. He showcased the collection, his first as the new LV men’s creative director, last month during Paris Fashion Week. Since then, Pharrell has been photographed carrying the bag, which is “cut from crocodile leather and affixed with both a chunky gold chain and diamond padlock, all handmade in one of LV’s fairly young leather ateliers,” various times. It’s that the Neptunes artist is proud of the flashy, and pricey, creation.

At the end of last month, an independent fashion designer came forward to accuse Pharrell of stealing one her designs. The designer, Kellie Ford, had previously shared a TikTok where she’s seen turning a Louis Vuitton shopping bag into a purse. The TikTok went viral in 2021, and Pharrell just recently shared his similar design at his debut as LV men’s creative director. Though it’s unconfirmed whether or not Pharrell took inspiration from Ford’s creation, it’s clear that the two bags look pretty similar.

50 Cent Reacts To Photo Of Lil Baby At Michael Rubin’s Party: “WTF!”

50 Cent has taken to social media to weigh in on a photo of Lil Baby at Michael Rubin’s recent Independence Day party. The annual White Party took place in the Hamptons over the holiday weekend, and countless celebrity guests were in attendance. 50 Cent posted a shot of Lil Baby being hugged by two men at the party on Instagram, writing “See this is why I don’t go to no party puffy and them at.” He went on to ask, “da fu*k is going on here,” telling the men to “get the fu*k off my young [ninja emoji].” He topped off the caption with, “WTF!”

It’s clear that the photo doesn’t sit right with 50 Cent, and he isn’t shying away from sharing his opinion. Fans in the comments section mostly found his criticism funny, with one writing “50 gone start him some sh*t fa sho.” After the event, Rubin thanked guests who attended his Fourth of July bash. “A big thanks to everyone who joined us,” he wrote, “hope you’re hurting less than I am today.” He went on to say, “In all seriousness, it’s an honor and a privilege to bring together so many amazing people each year.”

50 Cent Wonders “Da Fu*k is Going On Here”

Other notable guests who also attended the White Party include Kim Kardashian, French Montana, Kevin Hart, Quavo, and more. Travis Scott was also seen at the party, arriving in a new, white UTOPIA tour bus. After the event, social media was littered with photos of various celebrities appearing to have a blast. So, it is possible that 50 Cent may just be dealing with some FOMO.

If that happens to be true, he’s not alone. Earlier this week, Boosie Badazz hopped on Twitter to make it known he wants an invite next year. He asked Lil Baby to put in a good word for him, in hopes he can attend. “@lilbaby4PF,” he wrote on Twitter, “TELL RUBIN I WANNA F*CK WITH THE PARTY NEXT YEAR ON THE CRUISE.” Boosie went on to say, “SH*T LOOK LIT,” and “IM GO TURN DAT MF UP.”
