Chicago Rapper FBG Cash Killed in South Side Shooting

FBG Cash

Chicago rapper FBG Cash was killed early Friday morning on the South Side of the city. Cash and a woman were shot when two men exited a Cadillac and began to open fire, sending nearly two dozen rounds at them.

According to The Chicago Sun-Times, Cash was hit 13 times and pronounced dead at the Christ Medical Center in neighboring suburb Oak Lawn. The woman, 29, was shot in the left arm and upper back. She was transported to the same hospital and is listed in critical condition.

Cash, born Tristian Hamilton, was driving at 5:30 a.m. when his car was cut off by the gunmen in the 1600 block of West 81st Street. The accompanying woman was asleep when the shooting began. Officers recovered 23 shell casings, including 14 from a rifle. Contrasting reports state Cash returned fire and attempted to run from the shooters. No one has been arrested for the shooting.

FBG Cash is of the city’s Fly Boy Gang group of rappers. Of notable fame was FBG Duck who was murdered two summers ago in the city’s affluent Gol Coast neighborhood. In October 2021, federal authorities arrived in Chicago’s O-Block, formally known as Parkway Gardens, and charged five alleged gang members in a racketeering conspiracy that tracked a pattern of violence, which includes the summer 2020 murder of FBG Duck.

According to the Chicago Tribune, Duck, born Carlton Weekly, was standing in line outside of a clothing store when two cars pulled up in front of a crowd of people and opened fire. FBG Duck was a member of a Gangster Disciples faction that was feuding with the Black Disciples on the South Side.

[WATCH] Rich Homie Quan Drops New Video "Still Shining"

If hip-hop had an award for the most resilient artist, Rich Homie Quan should win it. His career seemed to prosper quickly with hits like “Type Of Way” and “Lifestyle.”

However, after a light beef with fellow Atlanta rapper Young Thug put a halt to his career, but that didn’t stop him. Like the titles of his early projects, Rich Homie didn’t stop going in. Last week he told fans he’s back in the booth, and today (June 8), he’s back with a new track, “Still Shinning.”

On the new track, Quan delivered his vintage sound. “Still Shining” doesn’t get you lit, but it should educate listeners. Rich Homie uses this track to motivate the people in the hood to rise out of them.

He raps on the hook, “I ain’t putting work in these streets just to get killed by them.”

In the video, Quan is smack dab in the hood rapping his way out. Check out Rich Homie’s new video “Still Shining” below.

Kendrick Lamar went to Ghana not long after dropping his 5th studio album, Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers. Videoes surfaced of Kendrick playing soccer and video games with kids, and interacting with other locals. Well, it turns out that the trip is a part of an upcoming Spotify documentary set to release next week.

The documentary follows Kendrick Lamar over the span of one day in Accra, Ghana, the country’s capital and largest city. The 15-second clip shows Kendrick around Ghanian locals and even posing for a picture with fans at Freedom Skate Park, the park founded by Virgil Abloh.

Based on “The Heart V”, and Mr. Morale, Kendrick seems to be continuing this idea of “experience” and seeing others’ “perspective.” K. Dot says in the trailer, “First time in Ghana, I couldn’t even tell you what day it is. I’m just being in the moment. This life sh*t, it’s all about an experience, and everybody got their own different experience.”

It is unknown what day the documentary will drop. Kendrick is also slated to perform as a part of Spotify’s Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity lineup on June 20, along with Post Malone and Dua Lipa.

Jennifer Lopez Documentary Trailer Teases Tensions Surrounding 2020 Super Bowl Performance

Jennifer Lopez Super Bowl

Just weeks before the entire world shut down in 2020, superstars Jennifer Lopez and Shakira shared the stage at the Super Bowl halftime show in Miami, in what was generally praised as a successful performance. However, the new documentary Halftime, appears to portray a darker side of the event with Lopez airing her grievances with many things surrounding the performance.

Lopez blatantly states that it was “the worst idea in the world to have two people do the Super Bowl.” The two performers were only given 12 minutes total and she and Shakira were reportedly expected to “weave” their songs together in that 12 minutes. Lopez and Shakira agreed to split their stage time right down the middle. Lopez states that she believe they should have gotten 20 minutes total.

She also states that she wanted to give the audience “something with substance” and not the two performers “just out there shaking our f***ing asses.”

The documentary also showcases behind the scenes footage of the hours of grueling practice and prep work that went into creating the halftime spectacle, showing everything from the dancers practicing to the elaborate set design creation.

According to an official statement about the film:

“Halftime offers an intimate peek behind the curtain revealing the grit and determination that makes Jennifer Lopez the icon she is, from her performances onscreen and on stages around the world, to her Super Bowl Halftime show, to the recent Presidential inauguration. The documentary focuses on an international superstar who has inspired people for decades with her perseverance, creative brilliance and cultural contributions. And it’s only the beginning. Halftime serves as the kickoff to the second half of Lopez’s life, as she lays bare her evolution as a Latina, a mother, and an artist, taking agency in her career and using her voice for a greater purpose.”

Halftime premieres on Netflix on June 14. The trailer can be seen on YouTube here.

In a statement following the purchase, Walton spoke on the sale saying  “Having lived and worked in Colorado, we’ve always admired the Broncos. Our enthusiasm has only grown as we’ve learned more about the team, staff, and Broncos Country over the last few months.”

In May, Magic Johnson had joined businessman and 76’ers co-owner, Josh Harris, in a bid for the Broncos.

Earlier this year, Antonio Brown, president of Donda sports, announced that he wanted Kanye to buy the Broncos. “NFL CALL YE,” Brown tweeted. “Donda Sports want to buy the @Broncos who with me!” Brown added in a separate tweet.

DJ Khaled Hints That Drake Will Be On His Next Album

drake dj khaled

DJ Khaled already expressed he’s in “album mode,” and lately, he’s been dropping hints of who will be on it Anthem. The newest hint is that Drake will have a spot.

While in Miami, Khaled and Busta Rhymes sat at dinner, and the waiter revealed that “Drake did it.”

The question is, what did Drake do? Well, in every other video Khaled posted with artists who “did it,” it meant that the artist completed their verse for Anthem.

Other artists who “did it” for Khaled are 21 Savage, Future, and Lil Baby.

There isn’t a timetable for Anthem, but this will be the We The Best Music Group CEO’s follow-up to his Khaled album. The album featured Drake, Jay-Z, Cardi B, Justin Timberlake, Justin Bieber, and more.

Khaled debuted with 93,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending May 6, according to MRC Data. The album also earned him his third No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart.

Drake and DJ Khaled have collaborated in the past, and they were all bangers. Their most recent collaborations came in 2020. Both “POPSTAR” and “GREECE” debuted in the top 10 Billboard Hot 100, landing at No.3 and No.6. Both records also went double platinum.

Drake and DJ Khaled’s relationship has always resulted in bangers. “I’m On One,” “No New Friends,” and “For Free” are all hits. Now we’re getting another one because Drake did it again.

Snoop Dogg Raises His Personal Weed Roller’s Salary Due to Inflation

snoop lede

Usually, when we read about Snoop Dogg in the news, it’s about him making money, not about him spending it. But we all know Snoop loves marijuana, so if it’s anything Snoop D.O Double G would spend money on is something about his weed habit.

Uber Facts reported that Snoop Dogg pays a person $40-50k a year to roll his joints. Snoop responded by saying he pays them more because of inflation.

This news came in 2019 when the new owner of Death Row Records made an appearance on The Howard Stern Show.

Stern asked the Mount Westmore Rapper if he really hired a person for that duty, and he replied, “that’s his J-O-B, his occupation,” said The Dog Father. “On his resume, it says, ‘what do you do? I’m a blunt roller,” he said. “P-B-R, professional blunt roller. If you’re great at something I need, I’m hiring you.”

On top of getting $50,000 to roll up, the job comes with a few benefits. The person hired is welcome to smoke the marijuana as long as they roll it. They get to travel on all-expense-paid trips with Snoop on tours and get free items like clothing whenever companies give their products to the artist.

Can you imagine being a weed roller for Snoop Dogg? Comedian Haha Davis did a skit of him smoking with Snoop. In the video, Haha is overwhelmed with Snoop’s weed tolerance. Being Snoop’s personal weed roller may come with a ton of weed, but for more than $50k a year, I doubt that the job would be a hassle.

D.L. Hughley Calls Mo’Nique a “Monster” For “Weaponizing” His Daughter’s Sexual Trauma

D.L. Hughley Believes Kanye West is 'Conveniently' Mentally Ill

After over a week of going back and forth after a simple contract dispute, D.L. Hughley hopes to have put an end to his battle with Mo’Nique. On Monday, Hughley addressed Mo’Nique in a lengthy video posted to his Instagram.

In the caption, he said that this was the “final straw” and the “last breathe” that he’ll waste on speaking about Mo’Nique.

“The final straw and the last breath I’ll waste on a monster so HEINOUS, they would try to open a wound and weaponize a young woman’s past personal trauma. That young woman happens to be my daughter and it ends today. – Darryl Lynn Hughley,” he wrote.

In the video, Hughley addresses the clip where he told Sway during an interview how he did not initially believe his daughter when she told him that his friend had sexually assaulted her. Hughley says that Mo’Nique “perverted” the story and added her own narrative.

“I know I said that I had done all I could here about this whole Mo’Nique situation but over the weekend her and her husband released a video where I was doing an interview and I detailed my daughter’s sexual trauma. Mo’Nique has taken that video and perverted it for her own uses. She decided to add her own narrative.”

Hughley called Mo’Nique’s remarks “unconscionable” and doubled down on his belief that Mo’Nique did not “play” Precious mother in the critically acclaimed movie for which she won an Oscar, but she “let her out.”

“You and your husband putting a man in my daughter’s room when that is not what I said and weaponizing it and using it in a trite argument shows exactly how low you are,” Hughley, who said he was speaking out at the request of his daughter, said. “You are a monster. You literally are. You didn’t play Precious’ mother. You let her out. You stopped pretending to be human and you won…an Oscar for being exactly who you are. Who says they love women and are there for women…and would trod out someone’s sexual trauma just to use in an argument?”

Hughley went on to tell Mo’Nique that she will not be invited to his show despite accepting his daughter Ryan’s invitation to talk. He told Mo’Nique to leave his children out of their beef, and concluded by saying “one day I hope that you’re happy and you can stop being such a miserable, low human being.”

You can watch Hughley’s full response here.

Mo’Nique has not yet responded to D.L. even though it is probably only a matter of time. Before he posted his response to her, she took to Instagram again where she questioned D.L. Hughley’s love for Black women due to jokes he made surrounding the 2007 Don Imus controversy where he called Black female basketball players “nappy headed hoes.”

“Tell me what part of what he said was funny? This is classic DL Hughley, cruel for no reason. The only thing that I ask some black women is how do you protect a black man who not only won’t protect you, but he’ll recklessly attack you too! @realdlhughley,” she captioned the post.
