Lil Nas X Breaks His Silence Following Confusion Around His Adult Amazon Purchase

by

Lil Nas X has the internet talking again, and this time it’s for a recent purchase on Amazon. According to Uproxx, the rapper and singer seemed to have a major slip up by accidentally sharing a sex toy he bought. The tweet has since been deleted from his account, but pop culture news source Drop Pop was able to reshare it. It reads, “I just bought Realistic Thick Dildo Sex Toy, 7.16 Inch Safe Silicone Lifelike G Spot A**l Dildos with Strong Suction Cup for Hands-Free, Flexible Monster Stimulator Adult Toys for Women Men Couples on Amazon! Get your own here.” Just reading it back is extremely uncomfortable and undoubtedly would be an embarrassing moment for anyone to post something like this.

However, this is Lil Nas X we are talking about. After leaving many wondering if he was hacked or just made a mistake, he doubled down instead. “It wasn’t an accident,” the Georgia native replied to Drop Pop. At this point, you really can’t expect anything else from Lil Nas X. Most Twitter users weren’t fooled at all, with one adding, “Have you followed him at any point during his career? This is literally just his image. He does s*** like this all the time because it’s funny.”

Lil Nas X Clears Things Up

Others are a little more annoyed, with another writing, “Y’all still falling for this lil boy stunts? He’s trying to stay relevant. It wasn’t an accident. Duh!!!!😒” But some were getting a good laugh out of it, “It’s the long a** description of it that kills me.”

Despite some of the hate, if Lil Nas X is indeed using this as mini promotion for himself, it’s working. As it stands, he’s gearing up to drop his sophomore album DREAMBOY. It’s currently slated for a 2025 release and there are several singles that could land on the record. Some include “LIGHT AGAIN!” “need dat boy,” “J CHRIST,” and some Soundcloud releases as well.

Cardi B Seems Unfazed After Offset Appears To Threaten To Expose Her

by

It’s no secret that Cardi B has a lot on her plate at the moment. The NYC rapper is currently working on her eagerly anticipated sophomore album, which does not have an official release date yet. She also just had her third child a few months ago, while in the process of a divorce from the child’s father Offset. Now, there appears to be some tension between her and the former Migos member, which seemingly hit the internet earlier this week.

In a since-deleted Instagram Story, he appeared to threaten to expose Cardi. “I could get on here and make you look the fool you is I’m bout to hit [bomb emojis] the bomb blow all this sh*t up,” he wrote. For now, it remains unclear exactly what he was threatening to reveal, but it’s apparent that he’s fed up. Cardi has yet to directly address his post, though she did take to X with some interesting messages yesterday (November 22).

Cardi B With Some Interesting Tweets

“One of them days,” she wrote simply in one tweet, followed by “Song of the Day: French Montana – ‘Ain’t Worried About Nothin.’” It’s unconfirmed whether or not this was a direct response to her ex. With that being said, however, things have gotten ugly between them in recent weeks. Late last month, for example, Cardi shared a series of tweets in which she ripped Offset to shreds. “Bro I wish the worst on this man,” she wrote at the time. “I never hated somebody soooo much and these b*tches be so [thirsty] to have him.”

Cardi went on to say that Offset’s friends and family members refuse to check him, which could explain why he’s turned out this way. “I truly hate this dirty a*s narcissistic piece of sh*t,” she said. “And his family and his friends never check him.”

Khalid Confirms That He’s Gay After Being Outed By Former Boyfriend

by

Khalid became a superstar on the back of lovelorn songs like “Location” and “Talk.” His smooth delivery and slick production have garnered him chart-topping singles and Grammy nominations. Despite all the fame, Khalid has kept a relatively low public profile. He rarely discusses his personal life song or during interviews. He simply puts out popular music and keeps it moving. Until November 22. A man who said he was Khalid former’s boyfriend hopped on Twitter to bash the singer. He effectively outed Khalid, and the singer took the whole thing in stride by confirming that he was indeed gay.

It was not initially clear who Hugo D Almonte was talking about in his initial tweet. He simply bashed the man in question, calling him “dumb” and “ugly.” Almonte also claimed that he was a singer, which was a sign that something was afoot. He accused the man of making it seem as though he broke into the man’s house, when Almonte claimed he didn’t. A second tweet was sent minutes later, containing a pic of Hugo D Almonte and the “singer” in question. It was, unmistakably, Khalid. Fans were shocked by this sudden and unexpected turn of events. Khalid’s social media exploded, with fans eager to find out whether the allegations were true.

Khalid Told Fans His Sexuality Is None Of Their Business

Khalid didn’t deny a thing. He threw shade at Almonte for outing him to the world, but he admitted that he was a gay man. “I got outted and the world still continues to turn,” he wrote. “Let’s get this straight (lmao) I am not ashamed of my sexuality! In reality it ain’t nobodies business! But I am okay with me 🖤 love y’all.” He then quote tweeted a user who asked why he hadn’t come out sooner. Once again, the singer made a very valid point regarding celebrity privacy. “I wasn’t hiding anything,” Khalid explained. “It’s just none of your business.”

The singer sent one final tweet out to put a button on the situation. He posted a rainbow flag and then humorously asked that fans move on to discussing something else. “There y’all go,” he asserted. “Next topic please lol.” This is the most insight fans have ever gotten into Khalid’s personal life, and it truly is unfortunate that it occurred on someone else’s terms.

Playboi Carti Trolls Fans After Teasing New Music And They Are Fuming

by

He cried wolf again. Playboi Carti spent all of Thursday evening hyping up the release of new music. The rapper posted a text exchange days before in which he promised to drop something on November 22. He pinned an Instagram user’s comment about not being able to rush art. Then, when release time came, he decided to drop nothing. Playboi Carti did not post a new single on streaming or on Instagram. He didn’t even tell fans that he was planning to do so later in the day. And the fans were not happy.

Some fans could try to play devil’s advocate with Playboi Carti. The rapper did drop two pieces of music on November 21. He put out a minute and a half snippet for a song tentatively titled “Play This,” and then another untitled snippet. This could’ve constituted new music in his mind. The thing is, November 21 isn’t November 22, so Carti was made out to be a liar. At least, by standard release methods. And after telling fans that something official was coming on Friday, a standard release was what everybody was wanting.

Playboi Carti Spent Thursday Night Hyping His Album

Playboi Carti’s comments leading up to the no show is what made things even more difficult for fans. He went on a post rampage, claiming that he’s “not done at all” and that “da sh*t ” on his album is going to be “overly trimm.” Playboi Carti even decided to follow up with another message bragging about how he was “locked rn.” All signs pointed to this being a breakthrough night for both the rapper and his fans. It’s more of the same, instead. Fans have moved in droves to Twitter to make their frustrations known.

The Carti crowd is feeling the weight of years at this point. Some fans reverted to gifs, and the classic go to images whenever a rapper fails to make good on their promise. Others dispensed with the lighter stuff and went straight to venting about Carti’s baffling rollout strategy. “Playboi Carti ain’t a chill guy,” one fan wrote. “So f*ck him and whoever making him delay his songs.” Another user voiced their frustration with other fans, claiming they have allowed Carti to repeatedly tease them. “The fans literally worship him. If y’all stop riding his nuts and actually stop fw him for leaving y’all dry,” they posited. “Maybe he’ll actually drop.” Read on for some of the must frustrated reactions below.

Jhene Aiko Breaks Silence On Big Sean Engagement Rumors

by

Jhene Aiko and Big Sean are one of the most low key celebrity couples of their generation. Both have amassed incredible success in the music industry, while at the same maintaining a private life with their son. It’s an ideal set up. That said, Aiko and Sean are still prone to gossip. The former was recently seen stepping out with a ring on her finger, which led to widespread speculation about her romantic status. It was suspected that Big Sean had proposed to the singer. Jhene Aiko decided to hop on Twitter to clarify what was going on, though.

A fan posted a TikTok of Jhene Aiko and Big Sean out on the town. A ring can clearly be spotted on her hand, which delighted fans. “Bullying works,” the fan wrote above the TikTok. The singer commented in a matter of minutes, however, to clarify the backstory of the ring. “The ring is from my stylist,” she stated. “It only fit on that finger. The more you know.” Jhene Aiko and Big Sean have been dating for eight years, which has led many fans to question why they aren’t already married. Sean actually spoke on the matter during the promotion of his last album, Better Me Than You.

The rapper gave fans a glimpse into his personal life during Charlamagne tha God’s Out of Context podcast.

He did, however, provide some context as to the current state of his relationship with Aiko. “It’s a little personal, you know what I mean,” he admitted. “But just like to be real with you, just like any people who have dealt with love, we’ve had our ups and downs, you know what I’m saying? And I think it’s still finding the right navigation through it all.”

He assured the fans that he wants to marry Jhene Aiko, but that he’s not ready to take that step in his life. “I don’t like putting our personal business out there like that,” he added. “But there’s a lot of work that needs to be done.” Big Sean is, however, ready to collaborate with the mother of his child again. He told Complex that he wants to reunite with Jhene Aiko for a second TWENTY88 album. The first album dropped in 2016, and was warmly received by fans and critics.

According to him, he’s hoping this will benefit him in the long run. At the time of writing, it remains unclear exactly what prompted Ray J’s post, or what he plans to reveal.

“IM ABOUT TO POST ALL MY STUFF ON X!- – SINCE IM HAVING A MELTDOWN IM ABOUT TO AIR OUT ALL MY MISTAKES I MADE AND BEEN MAKING LATELY – BY TAKING EXTREME ACCOUNTABILITY AND SHOWING THE WORST OF ME HOPEFULLY WILL LEAD ME TO LONG-TERM PEACE, STANDBY,” his post reads.

Ray J Shares Plans To Take “Extreme Accountability”

It’s not the first time Ray J has been open about his struggles with mental health, however. During a recent appearance on The Jamal Bryant Podcast, he also shared that he’s experienced suicidal thoughts in the past. Ray J previously stated that he did not want the interview released, however. “Yo, I got nothing but love for Pastor Bryant. Shoutout to Jamal Bryant… but if y’all play that interview, somebody getting snatched off the pulpit,” he explained. “Don’t play the interview, it’s not cleared, it’s out of bounds. Me and Pastor Bryant need to talk because the way I was treated was dirty and illegal.”

Bryant later responded, expressing shock over the remarks. Ray J ultimately apologized to Bryant, admitting that it was disrespectful to speak to him that way. The Tronix Network CEO’s latest post also arrived shortly after the release of TMZ‘s new documentary, The Downfall of Diddy: Inside the Freak-Offs. In it, he alleges that Diddy’s celebrity peers have contacted him asking him to remain silent.

Joe Budden Proclaims Himself To Be “General Manager Of The Year” Amid Fan Jokes

by

Joe Budden is at the top of the hip-hop media world right now, with a very successful podcast dishing out hot takes and talking about the state of the culture. A lot of folks tune in to hear what he and his co-hosts have to say, and it looks like their recent onboarding of Marc Lamont Hill has him feeling pretty gassed up. “GM of the year,” the rapper and podcaster tweeted this week, which led to a couple of confused reactions. Some just hated on Joe because that’s what they do, others needed a clarifier on what “GM” means, and a few folks either assumed this was about something else or clowned his fantasy football performance. Either way, most people just expressed excitement and support concerning Hill’s participation.

We wonder what the Joe Budden Podcast collaborator will have to say about its titular host’s perspective, such as a recent rant on Gunna and the Young Thug beef speculation. “All this principle and moral s**t, I’m sick of it,” he shared on the podcast about Thugger supposedly playing both sides due to his financial and contractual bond with Wunna not lining up with the public narrative. “N****s is out here doing s**t for the dollar that’s better than them. I’ve been fighting trial with the most high-priced lawyers in the universe, I’m taking care of a million n***as… You would be a fool to turn down your top-tier act or say ‘Yo, I’m standing on principle, I’m not taking a dollar from you.’”

Joe Budden Is Feeling Like The “GM Of The Year”

Of course, The Joe Budden Podcast includes divisive statements from every single participant, and it makes for some engaging discussion. We’ve seen them evolve over time when it comes to the big debacle around Lil Wayne, Kendrick Lamar, and the upcoming Super Bowl halftime show, for example.

So no matter what the haters might say, Joe Budden should definitely feel proud of what he and his team have accomplished. Sure, sometimes they get to hating as well, but it’s never without an explanation or some significant pushback that they go over. In any case, it’s one hack of a team.

DDG Wishes He Was A “Deadbeat”

by

It’s been a busy year for DDG. For one, the YouTuber and rapper navigated his first year of fatherhood following the arrival of his son with Halle Bailey, Halo. He proceeded to announce he and Bailey’s breakup in October, and has since gotten into a bit of online drama with the Little Mermaid actress. He’s also been a frequent target for online criticism. This is usually based on his parenting skills or his former relationship. Apparently, all of this has started to weigh heavily on DDG, based on a new tweet.

Recently, he took to X to vent, and to joke that his life would be much easier if he didn’t have so many things going for him. According to him, this makes him a magnet for hate, which he’s had enough of. “Being handsome, rich, a good dad & successful is stressful,” he wrote simply. “Sh*t come wit unnecessary hate & judgement for no reason. I wish i was a broke ugly deadbeat dad.. U n****s got it easy.” Fans are sure that both Bailey and Halo are glad things are the way they are. They can’t blame DDG for feeling frustrated, however.

DDG Vents On X

After all, the 27-year-old recently admitted that he hasn’t moved on from his ex yet, despite rumors that he might be romantically involved with someone new. He was spotted getting up close and personal with Baddies star Ahna Mac for a video shoot, leading to rumors that they were more than just collaborators. DDG quickly shut these rumors down, however, making it clear that he’s focused on his family for the time being.

According to him, he’d even be willing to have more kids in the next few years with the “same person,” as he doesn’t want to have children with multiple people. “No, I’m not dating,” he explained at the time. “I haven’t moved on.” At the time of writing, Bailey has yet to address his remarks.

GloRilla Ruthlessly Clowns Fan Who Predicts She Will Get BBL Surgery

by

GloRilla is ready for the smoke. The rapper has no problem mocking fans who make inconsiderate comments online. She proved it on November 13. GloRilla posted a video of herself working out, and followers flocked to the comment section to praise the rapper’s work ethic. One fan, however, took a different approach. They suggested that GloRilla is gearing up to get a BBL surgery, and the rapper clapped back with a hilarious response.

“Yeah, she bouta pop out with a bbl,” the fan tweeted out. GloRilla then quote tweeted the fan and raised a few questions about how she would do that. “B*tch where exactly ima get da fat from,” she asked. “My a*s to put it back in my a*s?” GloRilla has been open about her figure, and the importance that she puts on staying fit. It’s one of the main reasons she doesn’t want to get pregnant. She told Charlamagne tha God that would prefer to have kids via surrogate so that she could maintain her grueling physical routine. “I just don’t want to actually have a baby,” she explained. “All my friends have kids, and they’re restricted a lot when they’re pregnant. I’m like, ‘Nah, I don’t want to go through that.’”

GloRilla Has Repeatedly Dealt With BBL Rumors

GloRilla’s appearance was also the subject of intense speculation in October. The rapper posted a photo of herself sporting a baby bump, which absolutely blew the minds of fans. Some were perplexed that she would have a child after claiming she didn’t want to. Others were confused as to how she promoted her new album while concealing said pregnancy. In the end, the whole thing proved to be trolling. GloRilla is not pregnant, and won’t be anytime soon, if her statement is to be taken as gospel.

GloRilla’s back-and-forth with a fan was not the first time she’s had to contend with BBL rumors. A few days earlier, the rapper took to Twitter and wrote: “Everybody thought I had a bbl last night.” This is very much a recurring point of discussion for the rapper. Based on what she had to say about it, though, it doesn’t seem like something that GloRilla is going to be getting done anytime soon.

Plies Wants Fans To Stop “Wasting Time” Complaining About The Election

by

Plies is not someone typically associated with politics. At least, when it comes to his music. The rapper spent most of his career making love songs, party songs, or some myriad of both. He decided to break from his musical persona on November 11, however. The rapper, who was a vocal supporter of Kamala Harris, broke his silence on the outcome of the recent U.S. presidential election. He was not happy with the results, but he had a constructive message for fans.

Plies hopped on Twitter to offer some advice. The rapper believed that anybody who was complaining about the U.S. election results was simply wasting their time. “Stop wasting your time telling people what they’re about to get the next four years,” he asserted. “If you haven’t learned anything else, u should’ve learned people will make themselves believe anything they want.” Plies didn’t limit his advice to calling out his fans, however. He claimed that a better way to spend the upcoming presidential term is to just focus on the things one can control in their own lives.

Plies Suggested That Fans Focus On Themselves

“Let people live their life good or bad,” Plies posited. “Focus your energy on u & yours.” This passionate statement was actually the culmination of a Twitter rant that the rapper embarked on this Veteran’s Day. He previously blamed the end of “normality” on social media. He also lamented the belief that extremism has become the go-to stance on practically every talking point in today’s world. “The more extreme u are the better,” he angrily tweeted. “These are the times we’re living in if u not extreme u not popular.” This is not the first time the rapper has vented his frustrations via social media.

Plies was fuming right after Kamala Harris lost the election to Donald Trump. He posted a video on Instagram in which he claimed that “character” is no longer an important factor in electing leaders. “One thing this election did teach me, something that [Trump] knew… character no longer matters,” he noted. “All the dark- and the things he’s said, he knew people wanted that. This whole notion of ‘America, this is not who we are,’ no, this is exactly who we are.” We’re sure that Plies will have more to say in the months to follow.
