Sexyy Red AI Stimulus Ad Garners Legal Action From Rap Diva & Funny Replies From Fans

by

Sexyy Red may be the Hood Hottest Princess, but that doesn’t mean she’s afraid of some legal drama. After fans made the expecting mother aware of fake stimulus program advertisements using artificially generated videos and audio of her voice, the “Pound Town” hitmaker is ready to get her lawyer working on the case. Amid Thanksgiving celebrations on Thursday (November 23), Red found a moment to hop on Twitter and address the “health spending card” incentive scammers are tricking innocent people into signing up for on platforms like Instagram.

“It’s your girl Sexyy Red, I’m gonna show you how to put $6,400 in your pocket right now for free,” the St. Louis native says in the clip below. As she begins talking, a clip of a girl putting food in her mouth plays – like a ploy to capture people’s attention – before cutting to a snippet of the redhead standing awkwardly with a man playing guitar. “The state be handing out these stacks to every single one of y’all. You don’t even need a job,” the AI-generated voiceover promises viewers.

Of course, nothing about this seems legit, but still, ignorant people are falling for the scam, damaging Red’s reputation despite her not orchestrating the scheme. “My lawyer bout to have a field day,” the 25-year-old wrote on Twitter, suggesting legal action is in the works against her newfound opps. “AI needs to be regulated… Perfect example as to why,” one concerned person chimed in beneath her post.

Pardison Fontaine’s “THEE PERSON” Megan Thee Stallion Diss Track Garners Mixed Reactions

by

Megan Thee Stallion too the better part of 2023 off from music, understandably so. The few releases we have heard from the Houston native have landed on DSPs in the past few months, such as her “Bongos” collab with Cardi B. For her first solo single of the year, Meg began the month of November with “Cobra.” The song blew up for a number of the vulnerable bars shared by the rap diva, including one about a past lover cheating on her in her bed. Seeing as Pardison Fontaine is the only celebrity she was with for several years, it didn’t take long for fans to piece together who she was talking about.

They failed to address their breakup at the time, but now that Thee Stallion has opened the lid on the conversation, her former boo clapped back with a diss track of his own, “THEE PERSON,” this weekend. Over the beat, Pardi spits about his experience romancing Tina Snow, reflecting on the hurt he felt after finding out she wasn’t truthful about her sexual history with him.

Pardison Fontaine Responds to His Ex’s “Cobra” Claims

“Sit down for a second, girl you need to hear this / Be for real you ain’t even realistic / Got lipo then you started posting gym pics / The things that you’re doing is sadistic,” the lyricist bashed Meg, suggesting her body isn’t as natural as she claims it to be. Elsewhere, he called her out for trying to “drown [him] on purpose” amid his attempts to pull her out of the mud.

Since the song landed on Friday (November 17), the internet has been debating whether or not Fontaine took things too far. Some think that he’s overreacting because Thee Stallion didn’t name him on “Cobra,” meanwhile he put together an entire diss record. At the same time, others argue he’s justified to turn his experience into art, the same way MTS has.

Drake Fans Thank Joe Budden For “Scary Hours 3”

by

Drake dropped his eagerly-anticipated new EP Scary Hours 3 recently, delivering six new tracks to his fans. The release came only weeks after the hitmaker unveiled his latest full-length album For All The Dogs, and fans were under the impression that he’d be taking some time off. They were quickly proven wrong, however, and jumped to theorize as to why Drake changed his mind.

Back at the beginning of October, Joe Budden shared his thought on For All The Dogs during an episode of his podcast. He had some harsh words for the LP, revealing that he thought Drake missed the mark. “I miss the Drake that was rapping for the rappers,” he explained.

Fans Think Joe Budden’s Criticism Inspired Drake

Famously, Drake fired back with a lengthy Instagram comment, dragging Budden for his critique. This resulted in a bit of back and forth, subliminal dissing, and more. While some thought Budden went too hard on the Toronto native, others think his criticism was just what Drake needed, and inspired him to drop Scary Hours 3.

The EP’s getting praised on social media for its straightforward bars, which are just what Budden said he felt like For All The Dogs was missing. Of course, he also took some shots at the personality on his track “Stories About My Brothers,” painting a similar picture of Budden that he did in his aforementioned Instagram rant. “Imagine us getting our validation from an ex-musician searching for recognition/ Same story every time, they heckle in repetition/ I’m top of the mountain, these n***as still down at base camp, they planning they expedition,” he spits.

Machine Gun Kelly’s Awkward F1 Interview Gets Him Clowned On Twitter

by

Machine Gun Kelly did a quick interview with Sky News’ Martin Brundle at an F1 race recently, and it’s gotten social media users talking. MGK seemed to be in a bit of an off mood, resulting in an awkward and confusing interview. While it’s possible that the performer was simply having a bad day, Brundle left the interview feeling as though he had certainly been kicked off of MGK’s “Christmas card list.”

When asked about his career, MGK didn’t answer for a moment, instead nodding in agreement. This prompted Brundle to repeat his question. “Oh, my career,” Machine Gun Kelly then replied. “I don’t think about my career.” He went on to give a vague complimentary explanation of F1 racing. “I think your business is great,” he said. “It’s loud, your life is on the line, and that’s exciting… I was in a studio the other week and Lewis Hamilton was in the other studio. That was nice, yeah.”

MGK later asked Brundle to do an “air piano and air guitar collaboration” with him, which the British sportscaster declined. He refused to take no for an answer, however. The artist continued to demand that Brundle pretend to play keys, leaving the interviewer confused.

When Brundle wouldn’t budge, MGK gave the camera a thumbs down before walking off. Social media users are split as to was responsible for the strange interview, while some believe both participants are to blame. Others are simply noting that this was a pretty bizarre crossover.

Joe Budden Allegedly Jumped, Associate Addresses Rumors While Twitter Speculates

by

Some rumors have been circulating that Joe Budden got jumped at a strip club last night, and social media users have a lot to say about it. While it’s unconfirmed exactly where these rumors began, countless Twitter users are weighing in. As expected, commenters are split.

Most users are suggesting that someone caught Budden at a strip club in New York City. The alleged jumping is thought to be related to his recent commentary on DJ Envy and his business partner Cesar Pina’s real estate scam allegations. He hasn’t gone easy on either of them, which led him to him getting unexpectedly confronted by Pina’s brother last week.

Tony Robinson Speaks On Speculation

While no physical altercation occurred at the time, it’s rumored that Pina or his crew is behind the recent alleged incident. Amid gossip, Budden’s associate Tony “The Closer” Robinson took to Twitter to address the speculation. According to Robinson, he just spoke with Budden today, and didn’t see any injuries or otherwise indicating that he got jumped.

“I just heard from Joe Budden he good y’all be hype as sh*t to say he got jumped,” he wrote. “Like what world we celebrate n***as jumping n***as. He ain’t have a scratch on his face don’t know who he got into it with but he definitely didn’t look like he got jumped.” In a subsequent Tweet, he said “Joe also shared it had nothing to do with Cesar and his ppl.” This has led to some confusion among users, with some thinking the Tweet insinuates something did actually go down last night. The chatter continues regardless, and fans can’t wait to hear what Budden has to say about it on his podcast.

Coi Leray Says Chrisean Rock Is Capping As Reactions To New Mom’s Interview With Jason Lee Pour In

by

When Blueface and Jaidyn Alexis sat down with Jason Lee for his podcast earlier this fall, it took us a minute to digest all the tea that was spilled. The father of three took the opportunity to address rumours about him financially abusing Chrisean Rock, and he also let it slip that he “might’ve got some head” from one Megan Thee Stallion a few years back. Unsurprisingly, Blue’s second baby mama’s appearance on the same show has given us even more details on not only their co-parenting drama but also the beef that the Baddies cast member has with others in the industry.

From what we know, Rock and “Blick Blick” hitmaker Coi Leray obviously aren’t on good terms. Things are so tense between the two women that Lee felt some heat from the Boston native for interviewing her, which the 23-year-old had some thoughts about. “I’m genuine, I thought she wanted to do a collab or some music,” Chrisean recalled of her time previously spent with Leray. “Really she was just tryna out me out the plan and bag my ni**a on some bulls**t,” the reality starlet alleged.

Now that she’s been trolled about the confession from Rock’s supporters on social media, Leray hopped on Twitter to address things on Friday (November 3) afternoon. “Don’t believe the 🧢,” she wrote. Perhaps we’ll be seeing the Trendsetter sitting across from Lee in the upcoming weeks to tell her side of the story.

As more people are beginning to tune in to Chrisean’s interview on Jason Lee’s podcast, some are finding that they’re perspective on the “Lit” artist has changed. “She not as d**b as y’all think,” one viewer tweeted. “She actually does hold herself accountable. I really pray she gets all the help she needs.”

The Game’s Daughter Dons Crop Top For Halloween, Critics Suggest Teen Looks “Too Grown For Her Age”

by

Besides being a legendary rapper, The Game (born Jayceon Terrell Taylor), is also a father of three – two sons, and a daughter. It’s hard to deny that the West Coast artist is closest with his little girl, California Dream, as she frequently appears on his Instagram. The pair spend plenty of their free time together as a father-daughter duo, and Game is always full of compliments for the 13-year-old – particularly regarding how beautiful she is. For Halloween today (October 31), the “Hate It Or Love It” hitmaker was proud to show off the teen in her sporty costume of the evening, though not all of his followers approve.

“Happy Halloween or whatever… I don’t know what I did, but the good lord is really paying me back through my only daughter. I love this girl with all my heart,” the Compton native gushed. “She is my world…. And as tall, beautiful & as smart as she is…. I miss my little baby who had a lisp & couldn’t dance to save her life lmaooo.” According to Cali’s dad, this is the first year he allowed her to pick her own costume, which she happily collected from Fashion Nova “with her mom’s card.”

The Game Reminisces on Halloween’s Past with California Dream

While The Game feels that his growing daughter “kept it cute” in her midriff-baring look, haters online beg to differ. “Yeah no. Too grown for her age,” one IG user wrote in @hollywoodunlocked’s comment section. “13?! Dressed like this?!” another asked in shock. “This is keeping it cute for a 16/17 year old, NOT 13.”

“I know millennials not in these comments like y’all didn’t sneak crop tops and short skirts out the house and change at your destination,” someone else pointed out in California’s defense. “How y’all be getting on social acting so holy like we wasn’t 13 before?”

Will Smith & Pepa’s Old Date Story Leaves Fans Demanding A Reunion

by

On a recent episode of Will Smith’s Class of ’88 podcast, he and Pepa recalled going on a date together back in the day. Obviously, their relationship didn’t pan out. Pepa went on to marry Treach while Smith tied the knot with Jada Pinkett Smith. Now, however, it appears as though both of them are single, leaving fans wondering what would happen if they gave each other another shot.

“Okay, you were very nice,” Pepa said of their date. “This was the date you won and beat us out. You was so happy. You was like let’s go celebrate. Then we were out and you saw a homeless person. You gave the homeless person $100. And it was so nice. Then, we went to the Hollywood sign.”

“I think you and Treach had been broke up for a minute,” Smith added. “So, in my mind when I was like trying to spit my game but I ain’t really have nothing. Cuz my concern was I was gonna get killed.” On top of the sweet story, Pepa previously opened up about her fling with Smith in a 2009 interview with Global Grind, revealing that she had some regrets. She had nothing but flattering things to say about Smith, and expressed curiosity about what her life would have been like had she chosen him over Treach.

“I thought Will was really cute, and we would hang out a lot on the road. He liked to take care of me and never let me spend a dime. He was that kind of guy, real generous,” she revealed. “I sometimes kick myself when I think about what could have been. He was so nice to me, but I really wasn’t feeling him. I guess I couldn’t appreciate a nice guy like Will Smith. He wasn’t thug enough. I was attracted to thugs and hoodlums. Will was too nice to me.”

Paul Costict Dead At 57, B-Rock & The Bizz Member Mourned By Loved Ones

by

Unfortunately for music lovers, another pioneer of hip-hop has lost their lives far too soon. On Monday (October 23), TMZ shared the sad news of Paul Costict’s death, which reportedly happened unexpectedly at his home in Norfolk, Virginia on Saturday. A family member told the outlet that the 57-year-old’s cause of death is unclear at this time, though he was in good spirits during a phone call earlier on in the week. It’s worth mentioning that the B-Rock and The Bizz member recently dealt with an illness, though we’re not sure if that will be connected to his death in the long run.

Costict’s music career was relatively short, as his group became a one-hit wonder thanks to the success of “My Baby Daddy.” It landed back in 1997 and ultimately went on to peak at No. 10 on the Billboard chart at the time. Prior to his passing, the artist saw the single certified gold, though it went on to cause him some problems on an episode of Divorce Court.

Revisit B-Rock and The Bizz’s “My Baby Daddy” in Honour of Paul Costict

Costict found himself in a dispute with his ex-wife, Lasancious, over his commemorative RIAA plaque, which she wanted to hold onto during their separation. Besides his musical contributions to B-Rock and The Bizz, the deceased previously worked as a road manager for the group. His fellow band member, Thaddeus “T-Bird” Maye told TMZ he’ll remember Paul as “a very funny and Kool brother.” The two grew up together in Alabama, and enjoyed the time they spent together creating.

Even though posthumous releases are nice in thought, they rarely hit the same as music shared straight from the source. It’s unlikely we’ll hear more from Paul Costict, but we’re continuing to see others who have been laid to rest surpassing impressive milestones musically. Read the latest achievement from XXXTentaction at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates. RIP Paul Costict.

Halle Bailey’s Oversized Outfit During Walk With DDG Has Fans Insisting She’s Expecting

by

Cuffing season has a habit of bringing about new romance, but in 2023, it appears pregnancy is running rampant in the air too. Ari Fletcher recently suggested that baby fever has her in a chokehold, and Sexyy Red shocked us by confirming that she’s expecting her second child. For months now, another young starlet has had maternal rumours swirling around her, though her failure to confirm the speculation has maintained some doubt. After the newest photos of Halle Bailey and DDG hit the internet today (October 16), however, it’s becoming less believable that the Disney actress isn’t pregnant.

Newly captured paparazzi photos show Bailey and her other half in Santa Monica this week. Despite the warm weather overtaking the city well into fall, Bailey was notably dressed in multiple layers. She put a red t-shirt under an oversized, dark hoodie, completing her casual fit with light grey sweatpants. The Atlanta native has always had a slim frame, but it’s hard to deny the appearance of a growing bump on her midsection. Bailey was all smiles as the camera clicked away, looking as radiant as ever while reportedly heading into a meeting.
