“There was kind of a moment where I feel like me, and Snoop, and Wiz looked at each other and we were like, ‘we should probably all go smoke,’” Rogen said. “And often, when I’m with Snoop, he asks me to roll the cross joint because he’s fascinated by them and think they’re fun.”
Rogen went on to reveal that he also smoked out with many members of the Wu-Tang Clan. His work alongside RZA presented opportunities to smoke with the Wu-Tang Clan’s defacto leader. However, it was the sessions with Method Man that stood out the most.
“Once I got to smoke weed with Method Man while he was, like, reading raps off his phone that he had written, just literally standing in a parking lot. Rapping to me as we smoked weed for 45 minutes or something like that,” he recalled. “It was truly one of the greatest things of my life.”
He also divulged details of the time he got to smoke out with Jay-Z, who approached him and his wife for a puff.

“I was at a party he was at and I was smoking weed with my wife and he came over and smoked a little bit of weed with us,” he said. “It was great,” he added, revealing that he supplied the weed.
After the arrival of the Ohio native’s highly anticipated Entergalactic album, fans have been praising both Scott Mescudi’s musical work as well as the Netflix Original film that it was released alongside. While the rapper looks to be in a strong place creatively at the moment, he revealed in an interview with Zane Lowe that he’s actually considering walking away from his performance alter ego – for the time being, anyway.

“The Kid Cudi stuff, I think I want to put it on the back burner and chill out with that. I think, I want to be done with it. I think, closing the chapter on Kid Cudi,” the 38-year-old shared when asked about his current plans for the future.
Mr. Rager then added, “I’ve made a lot of music, man. I’ve said a lot and I have other desires, I have other things I want to do. And I do not see me never making music, I’ll always f*ck around in the studio, or make something here and there. But, as far as getting in the studio and working on an album, and then going and touring it, I just don’t have it in me. I don’t have the desire.”
At this time in kid life, Mescudi is interested in putting more energy into his personal relationships, particularly the close bond he’s formed with his daughter as she’s gotten older. “We’ve been kicking in a lot lately and I’ve been having more time and it’s good, she’s growing up, our relationship is super tight. It’s what I always dreamed of,” the father of one revealed.
Without music as a primary focus in his life, Lowe was curious about how Cudi plans to channel his creative energy in the future. “I want to just write more TV shows, write more movies, produce more,” the rapper told the host.
“I just want to focus on Mad Solar Productions and just get that shit out a little bit more. And then, on the side, I got my clothing line that’s debuting in January, in Paris, during fashion week. So, I got those two things I’m really focused on and just designing and writing and that’s where I see myself headed.”

YNW Melly’s long-spanning murder case just got a lot more interesting.
According to Complex, a Florida Sheriff’s Office accused the 23-year-old – born Jamell Demons – of attempting to plan a breakout from prison alongside another inmate named Nicholas Lewis using the help of Melly’s attorney.
YNW Melly, real name Jamell Demons, is seen in a police booking photo after being charged with two counts of murder in the first degree February 13, 2019 in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Demons allegedly conspired with Cortlen Henry to fatally shot two other Florida based rappers, Christopher Thomas Jr and Anthony Williams, October 26.

The damning allegations were revealed on Tuesday (September 27) in court, and in the days after, the Broward County Sheriff’s General Counsel’s Office provided more information to the outlet about the “Murder on my Mind” artist’s current situation.
“On April 11, 2022, Broward Sheriff’s Office received a confidential tip regarding inmates Nicholas Lewis and Jamell Demons, both housed in the same unit at the Main Jail, planning an escape from jail by having Demons’ attorney bring in two handcuff keys to aid in the escape,” they explained. “Additional information provided by the source was that Lewis had a shank and drugs.”
Upon searching Lewis’ cell, multiple items were uncovered, including a six-inch shank, two razor blades, two lighters, and rolling papers. On top of that, the inmate was also reportedly holding both Seroquel and Klonopin pills, neither of which he has a prescription for.
Melly’s cell search yielded less troubling results, although officers did find food from the commissary and what’s been described as an “excessive [amount] of jail-issued clothing.”
“The confidential source gave us two pieces of information. One of them [about the shank and drugs] turned out to be a hundred percent true,” Assistant General Counsel Christian Tsoubanos explained on Tuesday in court. “And when they did the search of Demons’ cell, they did not find the handcuff key, but it could have been that there was not an opportunity to bring it into the facility yet.”
After the news went public, the attorney for the mother of one of Melly’s alleged victims shared a statement, saying, “As an attorney for a victim, we strongly feel any attempts to escape justice point to guilt.”
“This matter needs to be fully investigated, including the attorney’s involvement. Certainly, there are times when informants and even government agents are wrong or engaging in misconduct, but we’ve seen so much in this case from rooftop stripper parties across to diamond teeth dentist needs, this is yet another chapter in what needs to just be finished in court.”
It’s also been noted that, during his time behind bars since 2019, Melly has made over three thousand calls to his girlfriend, Erran Barnett, resulting in his phone privileges being taken away as he only used his own personal identification number to make 22 of them.
One of the rapper’s attorneys, Raven Liberty, has been accused of handing out her phone login credentials to others so they can make “non-recorded video visitation” calls with the Florida native.
Trevor Noah is saying goodbye to his beloved gig. According to reports, the 38-year old star is leaving The Daily Show after a seven-year tenure with the Comedy Central late night show. On Thursday evening’s taping of the show, Noah revealed the somber news to his audience, sharing “I realized that after the seven years, my time is up.”
The South African comedian added, “After seven years, I feel like it’s time. I spent two years in my apartment, not on the road, standup was done. And when I got back out there again, I realized there’s another part of my life I want to carry on exploring.” Comedy Central tapped Noah to join the show in 2016 after Jon Stewart’s departure as host.
As he bid farewell to his nightly gig, Noah told the audience, “I never dreamed that I would be here. I sort of felt like Charlie in the chocolate factory. I came in for a tour of the what the previous show was, and then the next thing I know, I was handed the keys.” The network also released a statement regarding the comedian’s departure, stating, “We are grateful to Trevor for our amazing partnership over the past seven years. With no timetable for his departure, we’re working together on next steps.”
The news comes on the heels of fans speculating that Noah is dating songstress Dua Lipa after they were reportedly spotted “kissing and hugging on a cozy night out” in New York City earlier this week.
No word on who Noah’s replacement will be or when his final day as host will be. Share your thoughts in the comments below.
It’s been an interesting few weeks for Kim Kardashian and her exes. Earlier this month, Ray J blasted the reality star and her mom, Kris Jenner, for allegedly being the brains behind their infamous 2007 sex tape. According to Ray, the momager watched three sex tapes starring him and Kim, and chose to leak the one that gave her daughter “a better look.”
“You’re watching a whole family create an empire from a lie they’ve created, it’s heartbreaking and disrespectful to all the entertainers who have been honest and true to their craft,” he stated in an Instagram rant. The “One Wish” singer isn’ the one of Kim exes to blast Jenner. Kanye West is known for outing the famous family — specifically Kim and Kris.

Earlier this month, he accused his ex-mother-law of coercing her two of her daughters, Kim and Kylie, to pose for Playboy. “Hollywood is a giant brothel. Pornography destroyed my family,” he shared in a post. I deal with the addiction [and] Instagram promotes it. Not gonna let it happen to Northy and Chicago.”
Fans thought the father of four had reignited his war on Kris Jenner after he changed his profile photo to a picture of the famous momager. However, Ye’ denied the claims, saying that he “POSTED KRIS WITH THOUGHTS OF PEACE AND RESPECT.” For those claiming that the the DONDA rapper used the photo of Kris to perpetuate drama, he added, “LETS CHANGE THE NARRATIVE.”
Kanye’s new profile pic comes on the heels of reports that the 45-year old designer hired a high profile lawyer for his divorce case against Kim. According to Page Six, Ye hired Melinda Gates’ former lawyer Robert Stephan Cohen. Cohen has also represented Rupert Murdoch, Michael Bloomberg, Uma Thurman and James Gandolfini.
Cohen recently said of his celebrity clientele, “We have more code names for our clients in this firm than probably a lot of other firms who do these things, because we have to generally hide and keep secret the fact that we’re representing somebody before it becomes public.”

We don’t know what you had on your “End of September” bingo card, but Pornhub has entered the chat with a surprising addition. The popular adult entertainment website fired off a scathing letter to the powers that be at Meta and Instagram after their account on the latter platform was permanently banned.
Pornhub has demanded that the social media networks cease allegedly discriminating against adult entertainment and its workers, and they mentioned Kim Kardashian’s repeated nude moments, as well, in an open letter.
“We demand an explanation and guidance as to why our accounts are continuously deleted, and why content we spend money creating in order to engage with our audience is removed, even when we do not breach any of Instagram’s rules,” the letter read.
“Kim Kardashian has posted her fully exposed ass to her 330 million followers without any restrictive action from Instagram,” they added. “We are happy to see that Kim and the artistic team behind the image are free to share their work on the platform, but question why we are denied the same treatment.”
However, a Meta spokesperson stated that Pornhub repeatedly violated its guidelines and policies. According to Variety, on Instagram, Pornhub would create posts and videos that allegedly “encouraged people to become pornography performers.” It is said to be against the rules to make any attempts of recruitment for sexual activities of that nature.
As people weigh in about DaBaby’s projected sales numbers for his latest project, his name is once again entangled in drama related to his ex-girlfriend, DaniLeigh. Last night (September 27), rumors surfaced about DaniLeigh’s appearance on Wild ‘n Out, and it was said that she requested cast member B. Simone to not be included in that episode’s cast. People quickly began speculating about the gossip and alleged that it may have had something to do with DaBaby.
There was a time when B. Simone repeatedly went viral after thirsting over DaBaby on social media, and it left many to believe that her adoration of the rapper rubbed DaniLeigh the wrong way.
That hasn’t been confirmed or denied, but after this news picked up traction, Dani returned with an explanation. She admitted that she and Simone don’t get along and said that people are making it a bigger issue than it is.
“It was never a demand,” she said of the request to have B. Simone removed from her episode. “I don’t know why the blogs are putting out that I demanded B. Simone not to be on Wild ‘n Out. That wasn’t the case. Wild ‘n Out asked me, I love Wild ‘n Out shows, I’ve always supported Nick [Cannon], I always supported the comedians on the show.”
“Me and B. Simone are not cool. So, I just—my team asked if she doesn’t do the episode that I do, respectfully. It was never anything to be like, ‘I’m a diva, I don’t want’—I thought it’d be more mature to not have us sitting next to each other on a show, making it mad awkward and uncomfortable.”
“I’m protecting my peace. I’m protecting my heart on the situation. It wasn’t petty. She was actually there, so I’m sure she got paid. It wasn’t to take nobody from nobody’s pocket.”
DaniLeigh also alleged that B. Simone “made a whole diss song” about her and said she saw “text messages between” DaBaby and Simone in the past, but never mentioned it. She believes she’s handling the situation maturely because she’s trying to keep information to herself.
Check out DaniLeigh explaining her side of the story below.
Whether he comes down hard or drops subtle jabs, Kanye West isn’t letting up on applying pressure when it comes to Kris Jenner. There was a time when Ye saw Jenner as his mother-in-law, but once his split with Kim Kardashian went public, Ye didn’t mince words about Jenner’s influence.
During his previous rants on social media, West has made it clear that he has a bone to pick with the Kardashian-Jenner matriarch. Most recently, the very mention of her name reportedly caused Jenner to request that the mogul not mention her in his posts.

It looks like he honored that request and instead, took aim via his Instagram profile. It’s there that Ye made his profile photo a picture of Jenner, and while this doesn’t violate any rules, it can certainly get under someone’s skin.
West isn’t the only person who has Jenner on their radar; Ray J has been at it for weeks in an effort to clear his name. According to the singer, Jenner has led a campaign to vilify him in connection to the sex tape he released with Kim all those years ago. Ray has long insisted that he had nothing to do with the tape’s release and that Jenner orchestrated the entire ordeal.
Yet, Jenner recently sat down for a late-night talk show polygraph examination where she answered questions about being involved. She denied culpability and the test allegedly determined she was being truthful. This caused Ray J to pull out his receipts, including signed contracts.
Jamie Foxx shared a rant about podcasters and people who have a “loud fcking [sic] mouth” on his Instagram Story, Tuesday, prompting fans to theorize who he could have him so upset. One popular suggestion was DJ Akademiks, whose recent comments on older rappers and Reginae Carter have had countless people upset with him as of late.
“Just cause they got a podcast…don’t make them a philosopher,” the actor wrote. “Just cause they gotta loud fcking mouth… don’t make them the voice of the people.”

“He talking about you fam,” one user commented on a repost of the story by Akademiks, while many others shared the same sentiment.
As for what has had DJ Akademiks be the target of so much hate, he recently said that older rappers are “dusty,” comments he has since said were taken out of context. He also controversially discussed the dating life of Reginae Carter, the daughter of Lil Wayne.
Foxx recently starred in the Netflix film, Day Shift, which was released last month. He’s also expected to star alongside Will Ferrell in the 2023 film, Strays.
Check out Jamie Foxx’s recent Instagram Story below.
When Nick Cannon isn’t working one of his many jobs, he’s in full time daddy mode with at least one of his nine children. Earlier this week, the TV host took to Instagram to celebrate his “brave” daughter, Powerful Cannon, as she got a cast taken off her right leg. He posted a video of the process, along with a photo of the joyful one-year old.
“This little girl is so brave and strong,” he wrote. “Finally getting her cast cut off after truly living up to her name as a Powerful Queen Super Hero! A scary journey for Daddy to say the least but Pow kept me from being an emotional wimp! She is my hero!!” The Masked Singer host’s post comes on the heels of his other baby mama, Bre Tiesi, clapping back at critics who suggested that she get a nighttime nurse for their baby, at Nick’s expense.
“KEEP MY PARENTING, MY KID AND MY BABY DADDY’S NAME OUT UR MOUTH,” she shared on her Instagram Stories. “Nick is NOT my sugar daddy. Nick is MY F–KIN CHILDS FATHER THAT IS ALL. Watch your f–kin mouth when you speak on mine!” Nick has yet to comment on Tiesi’s post. The Wild N’ Out host seems to be focused on the upcoming season of his hit MTV show, as well as the birth of the latest addition his family, Onyx Ice Cole Cannon with model Lanisha Cole. “I vow to protect, provide, guide and love this child to the best of my abilities,” Nick shared in a photo his newborn baby girl.
Elsewhere in his brood, Nick Cannon is currently expecting his third with model Brittany Bell, his tenth overall. Abby De La Rosa is also expecting again, also marking her third child with Nick — his eleventh overall.
