Jay-Z Labeled An “Assassin” By DJ Akademiks Following His Attorney’s Comments About Not Being Close With Diddy

by

Yesterday, Alex Spiro, the attorney for Jay-Z, got some folks upset thanks to a statement he made at a press roundtable. He explained that him and Diddy have never really had that much of a friendship. Instead, Spiro says it’s really about business with them and nothing more. “They knew each other professionally for a number of years. Just like in all professions, people know each other. At the music awards, they support each other. If you go to the NBA All-Star game, they support each other. That’s just how professions work. There is no closer association between any of them. That’s also a matter of fiction.”

Later Monday, Spiro gave another quote in a similar vein, saying, “There is no friendship or longtime bond here. Just because they knew each other, know each other, that doesn’t mean anything.” As we said, this got the internet riled up. One person wrote, “Ain’t friends?!?! they got more pics together than me and my dad.” The jokes didnt’ stop there, with another adding, “Diddy in his cell saying bet.. While rubbing his hands together like Bird Man.”

DJ Akademiks Has Some Respect For Jay-Z

Overall, people aren’t falling for the attorney’s words, but DJ Akademiks is a whole-hearted believer. The hip-hop media pundit went on stream recently and debated this topic with his chat room. As you may remember, Ak doesn’t necessarily have the most respect for Roc Nation and Jay-Z at large. However, he’s giving it up to him after learning this “fact” regarding his ties to Diddy.

Before getting into his monologue, he replayed an old clip of the two rap moguls together. In it, Jay is walking out of a room with adolescent-looking girls and then embracing Diddy after the fact. You can hear Hov say, “Ooooo, you put that thing on them.” Diddy then replies, “You see how we do it here on a Saturday.” The possible reasoning for Ak showing this is to say that even though they look to be close with one another in the video, he’s trying to suggest that he never really was that tight with him. It’s got Ak loving the “assassin” mentality that’s being put forth by Jay’s attorney. “Jay-Z’s a cold n****… a cutthroat assassin. If it don’t make dollars then it don’t make sense. F*** anything else, f*** a friend, f*** loyalty, f*** it, it’s all about the bag.”

Travis Hunter Thanks Lil Wayne For Helping His Relationship During Heisman Trophy Speech

by

NCAA football superstar Travis Hunter just took home the Heisman Trophy on Saturday night (December 14), leading him to reflect on a lot of his achievements. However, what many fans might not have expected was a special message for Lil Wayne, who represents an important bond between Hunter and his fiancée Leanna Lenee. Moreover, Lenee is a massive Weezy fan who put the cornerback and wide receiver onto his music, and he eventually became a huge fan. For those unaware, some folks online have speculated that the couple is actually at odds or not as in love as they seem, so this also combats that narrative.

“First, I want to thank my fiancée and my mother,” Travis Hunter remarked while trying not to cry. “They’ve been with me since the first time I had surgery, my first year in college. They never took a step away from me. All the hard hours, all the hard days, all the times I didn’t want to wake up and get on my phone to look at football, y’all stayed with me. I’m very thankful for y’all.

Travis Hunter Thanks Lil Wayne

“[Lil] Wayne, you don’t know how you came into our life,” Travis Hunter continued. “My fiancée loves you. I didn’t know none of your songs until she let me know. ‘Cause I don’t listen to music, she let me know, she told me, ‘You got to listen to this. If you don’t listen to music, listen to Wayne.’ From that day on, that’s all I listen to for pregame music. Those the songs I listen to. When I get in that TRX, and I blast that music, I’m listening to Wayne. It’s crazy.”

Of course, Lil Wayne deserves and receives his flowers as he should, given that he’s not just a hip-hop legend, but a pop culture icon. For example, he recently became the inaugural honoree of the LIV On Sunday Hall Of Fame as a way to close out Miami Art Week. Travis Hunter shares the same gratitude and admiration that countless fans all over the world have for Tunechi, and one that will probably last for all time.

Keyshia Cole Flaunts “Heartbreak Ring,” Creating More Hunxho Break-Up Rumors

by

Keyshia Cole has unveiled a striking new ring in the shape of a broken heart, seemingly symbolizing her recent breakup with rapper Hunxho. The diamond-encrusted piece, which sparkled on her Instagram Story, was accompanied by the caption, “My new ring cause yeah,” paired with a teary-eyed emoji. She also added the words “nasty work,” a phrase hinting at the emotional weight of her split. Just weeks ago, Cole had declared her single status on Instagram, alluding to the end of their relationship. The R&B singer has alluded to their breakup with various heartbreak-related content throughout the month.

While their relationship rollercoasters have been public, neither has shared details about the reasons for their separation. However, speculation has emerged that their significant age difference—Cole is 43, while Hunxho is 25—may have contributed to the breakup. The couple first became romantically linked earlier this year, but their relationship was marked by controversy from the start. Not long after they went public, rapper Gloss Up alleged she had been romantically involved with Hunxho during the early days of his relationship with Cole.

Keyshia Cole Shares “Heartbreak Ring” With A “Yea” Caption

Hunxho has not acknowledged the relationship or a possible breakup on social media. He released his sophomore album, Thank God, in October. The couple collaborated on the album cut “Don’t Let Me Down.” Before the album’s release, Hunxho and Cole appeared good as he gifted her a pink Maybach for the singer’s birthday. The album features Fridayy, Ty Dolla $ign, Polo G, Mariah The Scientist, Don Toliver, and Lil Durk.

Keyshia Cole’s relationship history includes a proposal to Jeezy and a three-year marriage with former NBA player Daniel Gibson. She has been linked to high-profile rappers such as Bow Wow, The Game, and Birdman. She released her latest album, 11:11 Reset, in 2017. Cole is best known for the classic love songs, “Love,” “Last Night,” and “I Should Have Cheated.”

Hugo D. Almonte, Khalid’s Ex, Apologizes For “Outing” The Singer

by

Khalid‘s ex-boyfriend, Hugo D. Almonte, backtracked after outing the American Dream creator last week by apologizing and explaining the reason behind the revelation on Friday (Nov. 29). Hugo, a recording artist, and Onlyfans content creator, unveiled four posts in his Instagram stories, beginning with the following: “I’ve been reflecting deeply on everything that’s happened, and it’s time I speak up. I’ve seen the comments, the backlash, and the disappointment. I understand why people are upset, and I take full responsibility for my actions. I made a mistake-a serious one. Outed someone, and that was wrong. No matter the circumstances, it wasn’t my place to reveal something so personal. For that, I am truly sorry.”

The apology continued with the full story. Alamonte wrote: “But I need you to hear the full story because what led to that moment was years of emotional abuse, relationship, manipulation, and relentless lies that took a toll on my mental health in ways I never imagined.” Khalid’s name is not mentioned in the post, but Hugo details their relationship timeline.“Eventually, we started a relationship,” he wrote. “By then, I had my own apartment, my own job, and my own income. I never relied on them for financial support. When they invited me to move in and we went house hunting together, I kept my apartment. I didn’t want to give up my independence because I knew how situations like this could turn. I didn’t want to be controlled or manipulated.”

Last week, Hugo outed Khalid via Instagram with a caption that described the singer as “ugly.” Despite the backlash, Hugo wants to focus on healing from the relationship. He ended the apology letter with, “I know some people won’t forgive me, and I accept that. But I hope, in time, you can see that I’m not just the person who made that mistake. I’m someone who’s learning, growing, and trying to be better every day. ​​Thank you to those who’ve supported me and those who’ve held me accountable. I hear you, and I’m taking the steps to change.”

When Khalid’s fans heard the news, they rallied around him. The unfolding drama has reignited broader conversations about boundaries, respect, and the consequences of social media callouts, especially in the context of personal and deeply private revelations. Hugo and Khalid now find themselves at the center of a cultural debate on accountability and the limits of public disclosure. Khalid released his latest album, Sincere, in August. The album was inspired by the singer’s life experiences over the last five years.

Lamar Odom Takes Heat For Buying A Sex Doll That Resembles Ex-Wife Khloe Kardashian

by

Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian were in a relationship from 2009 to 2013. The two got married in 2009 after only dating for a month. Odom, a former NBA player, enjoyed a 14-year career in the league, winning back-to-back championships with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2009 and 2010. He won the NBA’s Sixth Man of the Year award in 2011 and played at an All-Star adjacent level for much of his Lakers tenure. Odom also had a substance abuse issue that culminated with the former NBA player being hospitalized after being found unconscious in a brothel. Odom suffered a heart attack, kidney failure, and multiple strokes, leaving him on life support for a period before he made a full recovery.

Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom were in the middle of divorce proceedings before Odom’s health scare, citing irreconcilable differences. Once Odom was healthy enough to resume leading a normal life, the two finalized their divorce. Kardashian has been adamant that the two are never getting back together, so Odom custom ordered a sex doll that looks like his ex-wife.

Lamar Odom Under Fire For Buying A Khloe Kardashian Look-Alike Sex Doll

In a new video, Lamar Odom toured sex doll company RealDoll’s Las Vegas facility on Tuesday. His manager, Gina Rodriguez, told TMZ that Odom saw RealDoll in a news story a month ago, and decided that he needed to get one for himself. Odom’s 45th birthday was on November 6, and he was in Vegas to celebrate, and part of his celebration was to place his doll order.

Because of this, Lamar Odom has been getting roasted online for the last couple of days after this revelation. “Lamar Odom is a SICK FREAK,” said one X/Twitter user. “While y’all at it, lock Lamar Odom up, that n***a a sick f**k,” said another user. “I just wanna know what’s up with Lamar Odom walking around the sex doll factory like it’s a Target. Bro really got a problem,” said a third user. It is certainly odd behavior by Odom, and the criticism he is receiving is unsurprising. If there was any chance of the two getting back together, there is probably no chance at all now.

Antonio Brown And Woah Vicky Spark Relationship Rumors Following Peculiar Comments

by

Former NFL star wide receiver Antonio Brown and social media personality Woah Vicky appear to be suggesting that they are in a romantic relationship. A recent picture of the two together depicted Brown with his arm over Vicky and his head close to hers in a manner that is typically reserved for those in relationships. Woah Vicky, who is a white woman, also took to X (formerly Twitter) to refer to AB as the “realist n***a” she knows. Brown has not run his own X page in some time, but the person who does reposted Vicky’s tweet.

Antonio Brown’s relationship history is a lengthy one. He has children with three women, Chelsie Kyriss, Shameika Brailsford, and Wiltrice Jackson. The latter accused him of abuse in 2019, while he had very public fallouts with the former two. He also dated Instagram model Jena Frumes in 2017, though that relationship fizzled when he reconciled with Kyriss. Brown reportedly dated singer Keyshia Cole for a brief period, though he claims he ended it because she wanted a “serious” relationship. Woah Vicky, who first went viral in 2017 for repeatedly using the N-word and “feuding” with attempted rapper Bhad Bhabie, would be the latest in what has been an interesting dating history for the former star wideout.

Antonio Brown And Woah Vicky Are Dating?

Of course, the two probably bonded over their love of president-elect Donald Trump. Antonio Brown has been a public Trump supporter for years. He gave then-candidate Trump his full endorsement at a rally in Latrobe, Pennsylvania on October 19. Le’Veon Bell, his former teammate on the Pittsburgh Steelers, joined him on stage. Celebrity endorsements do not seem to have a big effect on presidential elections, but candidates look for them, regardless of their impact. Woah Vicky has vocally supported Trump online, posting many pictures in her “Make America Great Again” hat, though Trump did not bring her on the campaign trail.

Antonio Brown was once a star NFL player, but off-the-field issues prevented him from continuing to play at a high level beyond his 30th birthday (save for a handful of exceptions). He retired from the NFL in April after being off a roster for two and a half years following a broken ankle and the baggage that would have come with signing him. He will one day make the Pro Football Hall of Fame, but it is unlikely to be anytime soon. Maybe, by some miracle, he’ll find what he’s looking for in his post-NFL life with Woah Vicky.

Kodak Black Shares His Oddly Blunt Thoughts On Marriage

by

Kodak Black loves a lot, but he’s certainly no romantic. Recently, a recording of him in what seems like a luxury watch store surfaced in which he talks about why he could probably never get married, and the reason why certainly raised some eyebrows for good and not-so-good reasons in the comments section of the post down below. “I don’t think I could ever get married, bro,” the “Versatile” rapper remarked. “I don’t think I love p***y that much.” Considering that he has four children (and is reportedly expecting another one) with multiple women, he probably doesn’t mean what some people thought he meant with that last comment.

However, these comments come at an interesting time for Kodak Black, whose baby mama Daijanae Ward recently spoke on his alleged relationship with their two-year-old daughter. “He wouldn’t know ‘cause he don’t be around her,” she claimed during a recent Instagram Live session. “He don’t know how the f**k my baby act, he don’t even know her. […] If he kept his hands to himself, she wouldn’t be so scared of him.” Those are all just allegations, though, and ones that Yak has yet to respond to or address at press time.

Kodak Black Reveals His Stance On Marriage

Elsewhere, Kodak Black is clapping back at people who expressed concern with reports of him popping pills during a Kai Cenat stream. “Y’all be so f***ing butt-hurt,” he reportedly remarked on Instagram Live after this backlash. “Y’all don’t like a n**** anyway. […] I’m just Yak, bro. Ain’t s**t changed, that’s how I came in this b***h… I wake up like this. If anything, give me drugs. Give me drugs, and I’ll chill. When I’m not high, when I ain’t higher than a b***h, I’m vibing. When I’m high, I’m in my coma, bruh. I ain’t talking to nobody ‘cause I’m getting high.”

Fans mostly worry about this alone, but we’ll see if Kodak Black’s thoughts on long-term and legal commitment even change in the near future. Despite all the controversy and conversation, he continues to drop music and feed fans waiting for his next era. So we’ll see what’s next in this saga and if there’s an upturn in any way.

Cristina Mackey Claims She Briefly Dated Rick Ross Because God Told Her To

by

Cristina Mackey and Rick Ross had a short-lived relationship, but nonetheless a passionate one that had a lot of ups, downs, twists, and turns. A lot of that came from disputes with other exes, a narrative that continued even after the two broke up around March of this year. However, at the end of the day, a lot of fans weren’t super clear on why they started to go out, but we now have a somewhat odd explanation. During a recent Instagram Live session, Mackey revealed that she started dating Rozay because God told her to, and explained why their brief fling was, in her view, the result of divine intervention.

““I just feel like God was like, ‘I need you to date this person real quick so I can get you where you need to go,’” Cristina Mackey said of Rick Ross, implying that her alleged experience with God framed this romance as a stepping stone to bring her closer to Miami. […] ‘What made you stay in Miami?’ Have you been to Miami? This place is incredible to me. You need to be in this city. My mom said the same thing too. She was like, ‘God brought you here for me. Be closer to me.’ […] [God] did not bring you here and be in a relationship with that man. But if that was the passage or what do you call it? The route that God chose.”

Cristina Mackey Speaks On Rick Ross

Regardless of whether this divine intervention is true, Cristina Mackey and Rick Ross had broken up by the time the Kendrick Lamar and Drake battle ignited along with all the other associated names. As such, it wasn’t too surprising to see Mackey seemingly support the 6ix God against Ross, but they seem to still have somewhat of an amicable connection.

At least, more amicable than most exes, especially in Rick Ross’ life. Tia Kemp recently accused him of sleeping with Gucci Mane’s wife, Keyshia Ka’oir, the latest claim she threw at the Maybach Music Group mogul. It just goes to show that, even though God may have a plan, that alleged involvement doesn’t make situations any less potentially combative.

Benzino Reveals He’s In A Relationship By Putting An End To Flirty DMs

by

Benzino’s close relationships have not been the smoothest. Him and Coi Leray are not on talking terms, the former recently revealed. “It’s unfortunate. But, you know, we don’t communicate too much. The whole thing is surreal to me… I’m a smart guy but I can’t figure this one out”, he told the We In Miami podcast. He seems to be trying to be understanding, though, saying, “Coi is a young lady, she independent. This young generation, they don’t want their parents interfering with their lives, man. I have to learn to adapt to that and respect that”. He’s hopeful that they can reconvene and repair their now tumultuous situation.

For now, though, Benzino seems to be looking to make himself happy right now. A recent clip reshared onto Baller Alert‘s IG account reveals that the co-owner of Source is in a relationship. In the video, he never explicitly says her name, outside of nicknames like “baby” and that he’s “got a girl whom I love”. This big announcement has come to light though because he’s been receiving a lot of DMs from other women, he claims.

A post shared by Baller Alert (@balleralert)

Since he’s committed, Benzino is nicely not accepting/looking at any more flirtatious messages. “I’m sorry, miss poor girl, but I got a girl. I don’t be looking at girls’ DMs and all that. No disrespect, but I got a girl whom I love, and I just don’t be doing it like that”. He continues to be appreciative, but makes it clear that he’s focused on the task at hand. “I’m flattered by all the compliments, and I appreciate the love, but I love my baby. I love my baby. I ain’t trying to mess none of that up”. Of course, though, trolls are not buying the DM portion of the story. “Who the hell is messaging this man???”. “He thought the sex bots were real 😭”. These are just few distasteful comments, but we are happy to see that Benzino is in love and wanting to stay the course.

What are your thoughts on Benzino now ignoring flirty DMs after announcing he’s in a relationship? Do you think trolls are being too harsh here, why or why not? Who do you think this mystery woman is? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

Angel Reese Sets The Record Straight On G Herbo Relationship

by

After months of speculation and debate, WNBA star Angel Reese is clearing things up around G Herbo. If you remember, a video taken by a fan in a car over from the rapper’s showed them riding around together. People online were split on this, as some were questioning the Chicago Sky forward for messing with a man who has kid’s and baby mamas. Then, you had others who weren’t trying to immediately jump to conclusions. They felt they were just hanging out as platonic friends. However, the dating rumors were fueled, perhaps accidentally, by Reese, with her posting a video to TikTok lip-syncing Dej Loaf’s “Try Me”.

The lyrical choice had commenters convinced she was referring to G Herbo. “All these n****s love me, can’t get ’em off me / F*** around, gave him my number, he won’t stop calling“. However, it was all smoke and mirrors because Angel Reese explains that they are essentially homies. The speculation was debunked in the first-ever episode of the hooper’s brand-new podcast, Unapologetically Angel.

A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom)

Her co-host, Maya Reese, a veteran podcaster, content creator, and nonrelative, asked her about the G Herbo situation. Reese was adamant that he’s someone that’s going to have her back at all times. She explained that since she was drafted by the Sky, he’s essentially been a big brother to her. If she needs any help navigating Chicago, or really anything, Herbo is going to be at the ready. Angel also hilariously said that she’s 6’3″ and he’s around 5’10”, further putting the nail in the coffin, so to speak. Overall, though, it’s good to see that these are like siblings to each other, and we hope to see their relationship flourish.

What are your thoughts on Angel Reese clearing up the dating rumors surrounding her and G Herbo? Do you think we normalize that platonic relationships can’t exist anymore too much?
