Enchanting Remembered Fondly By Fans Following Her Tragic Passing

by

Yesterday was a tough one to get through for a lot of hip-hop fans. Earlier in the day on June 11, a stunning report came through that 1017 labelmate, Enchanting, was on life support. No further information was provided, but the news was broken by the rapper and singer’s sister Kayy Jayy via Facebook. On top of her sister, family, and friends going through it, multiple publications were reporting that she had already passed on. However, Kayy Jayy immediately shut down the rumors, saying, “Can y’all stop posting you have actual facts. She’s still fighting, she’s not dead… I’m here at the hospital. My sister is not dead”. Sadly though, the worse result imaginable happened, as Enchanting lost her life not too long after being taken off life support. Fans and artists have been in shock over this news, as a lot of them saw true potential in Enchanting.

There is already a massive X (formerly Twitter) thread of her supporters shedding light on how much she left ahead of her. Many are recognizing that she was incredibly versatile, being able to shift from mellow R&B to aggressive trap rap. Others are just having a hard time mustering anything, as Enchanting’s death happened out of nowhere. You can see the overflowing love and adoration for the 26-year-old below.

Fans Recognized Enchanting Was Next Up

Enchanting felt that her talents were undeniable, showing that she was ready to take over and show the world what she had to offer. She expressed that in a 2023 interview with the Dallas Observer, explaining, “I feel like music was always something that was easy for me. I felt like I was musically inclined, always. It was something that I thought should probably put more time and effort into, because it was natural, you know, instead of trying to force a talent”. That God given ability to create and inspire will certainly never be lost in the minds and hearts of her fans and the community at large. We continue to send our sincerest condolences to Enchanting’s loved ones during this difficult time.

Freddie Gibbs’ Pornstar Ex-GF Says He Ghosted Her During Pregnancy, She Was Paying His Phone Bill

by

Dating a rapper may look glamorous from the outside, but according to Freddie Gibbs’ ex, adult film star Destini, her relationship with the Indiana native concluded on an undeniably sour note. The content creator told her story via a Twitter thread on Thursday (May 4), revealing that he allegedly ghosted her after finding out that she’s carrying his child. According to her, Gibbs first came into her life in 2020, at which time he slid into her Instagram DMs. “For the record, he always knew I did porn and was very supportive,” she added, cautioning haters not to run their mouths in the comments.

“After we made it official blogs started posting about us,” Destini – who’s best known as TheFitMami online – recalled. “We didn’t care, we were just having fun.” The couple’s romance found them travelling to Europe and having a blast together, though the adult entertainer says they also spent time discussing the idea of having a baby. Their return to the U.S. found them in a good place, and Gibbs began his stateside tour. Shortly after this, however, they were caught up in the middle of a physical altercation that left Destini traumatized. “I ended up having to get a prescription for Xanax because I was so paranoid,” she admitted. “I was having nightmares. It was horrible, I felt like I was going crazy at times.”

Destini Spills Tea on Twitter

The lyricist’s former lover noted that one of Gibbs’ baby mamas began regularly harassing and threatening her, even dragging the daughter Destini shares with another man into things. Amid all the drama, she and her partner took a trip to Hawaii for Freddie’s 40th, along with his mother. “He had this idea that we would name the baby Penny, like Penny Hardaway if he was a boy. BFFR,” she alleged in another tweet. Not long after that, a drunken night at a friend’s birthday party apparently resulted in plenty of romping, and the conception of a child. “When I told Freddie his tone immediately changed,” TheFitMami said of discovering she was pregnant.

“I’m so confused at this point, because have we not been talking about having a baby for the last eight months??” she asked later in the thread. As they travelled to Australia together, the couple continued to avoid the important discussion at hand. Several weeks later, Destini made it clear that she couldn’t be with him if he wanted her to have an abortion, while the 40-year-old previously shared that he felt he wasn’t ready for a child. Ultimately, they parted ways, but Freddie apparently hasn’t checked in on her, despite the fact that she’s carrying his child.

Ice Spice Throwback Photos Surface On Twitter, Give Glimpse Into Bronx Baddie’s Humble Past

by

Because she rose to fame at such a rapid rate, little is known about the early life of Ice Spice. She was born Isis Naija Gaston on the first day of the year 2000. While many simply love her for making bad bitch bops like “Bikini Bottom” and “In Ha Mood,” others have been dying to know more about her past, and what led her to become one of the Bronx’s most prominent rising drill artists. Thankfully, internet sleuths have been able to unearth old photos of Spice, showing just how much change has taken place since her low-key childhood in New York.

We’ve already seen some of the 23-year-old’s high school yearbook photos (which markedly had users drawing comparisons to Lauren London), as well as images of her on the volleyball court. Prior to blowing up thanks to “Munch (Feelin’ U),” Spice was a talented athlete who played for both Sacred Heart High School in Yonkers and the State University of New York at Purchase. While she’s left those skills behind in favour of pursuing rap, she recently said that her initial dream was acting. This is something the Spice Cabinet hopes she still chases, especially now that she’s well-known within the industry.

As XXL notes, this past weekend saw even more old photos of the Like..? artist surfacing on social media. Among them were candids snapped of her applying mascara in the mirror, throwing up peace signs while goofing off with friends, and letting her naturally brunette curls blow in the breeze while posing for photos outside. Apart from the childhood snapshots, Twitter user @icesmood also included more recent content of Spice before fame, which finds her sporting platinum blonde hair and putting her rap skills on display.

“And ending off with the ‘Thriller’ of our generation,” they previously wrote atop the thread’s final part, including a video of the rap diva twerking her behind in a cutout-clad two-piece black suit. The footage comes from the visual for “No Clarity,” which was produced by RIOTUSA and released in November 2021. Keep scrolling to see Ice Spice’s recently resurfaced throwback photos, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.
