Fivio Foreign Explains What He Did With His 1.7 Million Signing Bonus

Stories of rappers falling to financial irresponsibility are pretty common in hip-hop. Many rappers have regrettable stories spawning from the financial choices they made earlier in their career. Thankfully, many have taken the opportunity to try and pass some of that financial wisdom along to their peers to prevent them from making the same mistakes. During a recent interview, Fivio Foreign opened up on what he did with his early signing bonus and what he wished he’d known at the time.

The first thing he reveals he purchased is a nearly $100k bulletproof truck. He describes that as the “smartest” decision he made with his money. He also explains that he spent tens of thousands of dollars on chains. But the biggest mistake in his eyes is that he put his money into renting a house instead of buying one. He explains that he didn’t really process the difference he just wanted to move somewhere quickly. Check out the full videos of him explaining his financial decisions after cutting his deal below.

Schoolboy Q Starts New Blog Series As New Album Approaches

On the first day of March, Schoolboy Q will release his first new album in five years since 2019’s critically panned Crash Talk. The album is called Blue Lips and he announced it earlier this month. It’s the first release in what many are expecting to be a big year for his label Top Dawg Entertainment. Earlier this year a document leaked from the label claiming that nearly every single artist currently on their label and even a few new ones have music coming this year.

Schoolboy Q has taken primarily to YouTube to promote the album so far. It began earlier this week when he dropped two new tracks from the project each with their own videos. The songs are called “Blueslides” and “Back In Love” and present two very different sounds from Q. In addition to those tracks he’s also shared part one in a Vlog series. The series is called wHy not? and the first episode takes fans behind the scenes of some of the recording and promotion for Blue Lips. Check out the first episode of his new Vlog series below.

Schoolboy Q Takes Fans Behind The Scenes

Schoolboy Q hasn’t just been working on his own music though. Late last year he popped up on Hell & Nash 2. The album was a long awaited second collaboration between The Alchemist, Conway The Machine, and Westside Gunn. He contributed a guest verse to the track “Fork In The Pot.” The track instantly became a fan favorite and currently sits as the most streamed song on the album on Spotify with nearly 900k plays.

That came a few days after Schoolboy Q found himself in hot water for standing by Kanye West. Despite West’s controversial antisemitic comments in the past two years much of the rap world has continued to have his back. What do you think of Schoolboy Q’s newest vlog? Are you looking forward to Blue Lips? Let us know in the comment section below.

Nicki Minaj Tour Rehearsal Footage Shows “FTCU” Choreography: Watch

Nicki Minaj took a lengthy hiatus from music between 2018’s Queen and 2023’s Pink Friday 2. Since the latter finally arrived, however, she’s hardly taken her foot off the industry’s neck, between tapping legends like 50 Cent, Monica, and Keyshia Cole to join her on the deluxe cut, to preparing for her quickly approaching World Tour. Members of The Barbz already have their tickets, and while they wait for Minaj to hit the road, they’ve been keeping a close eye on her social media for hints of what’s to come.

For the most part, late January and early February have been about responding to Megan Thee Stallion’s “HISS” single. The Queen of Rap’s “Big Foot” diss track clapping back at her nemesis received mixed reactions online, but she hasn’t let that stop her from continuing to fuel the fire. After Meg took the No. 1 spot on the Billboard chart, Minaj turned her attention back to Gag City, which she’s been previewing bits of on Instagram Live.

Earlier this week, the mother of one gave a look at how choreography is coming together. Arguably the most popular song from PF2, “FTCU” obviously has an eye-catching routine lined up, though Minaj didn’t show how her dance moves are looking in comparison to her backup performers, who seem to be putting in serious work.

Now that Nicki Minaj has turned her focus away from Megan Thee Stallion and back toward her impending tour, a few other femcees have stepped up to carry on the baton of hip-hop drama. After Ice Spice went viral with her first single of 2024, Latto is planning to drop hers, called “Sunday Service” on New Music Friday (February 9), and hip-hop heads are speculating whether or not she’ll diss the Bronx baddie. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Megan Thee Stallion “Toxic” Preview Earns Various Reactions Online

Megan Thee Stallion isn’t letting the hype from “HISS” fade away without taking full advantage of all the attention she’s been getting. Rather, the Houston hottie is using the sweeping success of her first single of 2024 to tease more new heat she’s been cooking up in the studio. After the former track went No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking Meg’s third song to ever do so, she went on Instagram Live to celebrate the big news with her fans. Not only did she put on a show by twerking up a storm, but she also previewed “Toxic,” which could potentially be the next single from her upcoming album.

In her usual fashion, Thee Stallion drops plenty of salacious bars, such as “If you take a trip to Dior, baby, I could be your little wh*re.” During her stream, the Southern starlet was obviously impressed with her work, but so far, the response online has been underwhelming compared to what “HISS” delivered. Nevertheless, Meg’s loyal fans have had her back consistently over the past few days full of emotional intensity.

“Boo!! The only reason why she got that #1 is because she had so many Nicki Minaj haters 😂😂,” one IG user theorized under @theneighborhoodtalk’s post. “Barbz let her enjoy and let the Hotties have a party in her jaw. This the most success she’s going to get 😂😂.” Elsewhere, another negative review says, “I have nothing against Meg so don’t even try coming at me… But hear me out, this sounds like nothing new.”

“Standing On Business”: King Harris Wants Credit For Popularizing Phrase After Druski Uses It In Song Title

Druski is usually one to keep the internet cracking up, but this week, he’s got King Harris deep in his feelings. After seeing a promotional post casting extras for the comedian’s “Standin on Bihness” music video, T.I.’s son was compelled to go Live on Instagram and get a few things off his chest. While he’s not necessarily asserting himself as the first one to ever use the phrase, Harris does want credit for helping it blow up in the mainstream amid a nasty spat with his parents in late 2023.

“It’s time to stand on business. I ain’t create it, but I’m the one that got everybody saying it,” he ranted to viewers earlier this week. “I ain’t create it. I’d be a liar if I said I created it. That s**t’s been on years and years,” Harris further admitted. However, he did point out that athletes and other public figures didn’t use it as frequently until after his family’s viral feud. “When you ask who got the news saying it, who got ESPN saying it, who got football players saying it, who got kids saying it, who got everybody saying it, it’s me.”

Before Druski’s upcoming release helps to popularize “standing on business” even more, Harris simply wants to ensure that he gets credit where credit is due. So far, the internet seems divided on whether the 19-year-old has a point, but he definitely sounds confident in himself.

Druski’s successful run in 2023 looks to be following him into the new year as he films his “Standin On Bihness” video. Back in December, he landed beside names like Ice Spice and Latto on Forbes‘ 30 Under 30 list, and only time will tell what he’s got in store next.

Tia Kemp To Chrisean Rock: “I Thought I Liked You When You Had That Big Face Baby, Lookin’ Like Charles Barkley”

Parenthood has certainly brought with it massive changes into Chrisean Rock’s life, especially now that her co-parent, Blueface, is behind bars. Before he turned himself in to the authorities, the internet saw non-stop feuding between the Cr*zy In Love co-stars. Unsurprisingly, the California native’s other baby mama, Jaidyn Alexis, is also a part of the mess. With Blue expecting to spend a year in the slammer, his MILF Music signee is keeping herself busy with a woman. On the other hand, Rock has been going above and beyond to prove her loyalty to her “Lit” collaborator, even getting a massive face tattoo dedicated to him after previously removing another.

The Baltimore native lost upwards of 200K followers on Instagram after showing off her bold new ink. Other responses have been pouring in online, including one from Rick Ross’ ex, Tia Kemp, who wants to see Rock focusing more on motherhood and less on reconciling a toxic relationship. “I thought I liked you when you had that little big face baby, looking like Charles Barkley,” she began ranting on TikTok Live recently. “Chrisean, you had two years to run around and beat up everybody, baby.”

“Rocky, go turn to a pebble off ‘The Flinstones,’ take Mr. Purpleface with you, and get baby over to a daycare or something,” Kemp suggested. “So he can learn how to crawl. We tryna see milestones! What are you doing? We wanna see if he crawling, ‘cuz he should be holding a bottle by now,” she further asserted.

For the most part, Chrisean Rock has refused to respond to the internet’s questions about her infant son’s health. Some are certain Junior suffers from Cri Du Chat syndrome, a genetic condition that wouldn’t have been caused by any irresponsible behaviour during pregnancy. Elsewhere, others argue that the 23-year-old was reckless while carrying her first child, potentially resulting in FAS or Fetal Alcohol Syndrome.

Jess Hilarious’ Booty Has Shannon Sharpe & Chad Johnson’s Attention: Watch

When Kountry Wayne appeared on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay podcast earlier this month, the comedian had plenty to say about his ex, Jess Hilarious. Not only did he admit to urging the new co-host of The Breakfast Club to get more going on in her professional life, but he was also quite confident in calling the Baltimore native out for not always being honest with others. “I text Jess the other day, I said, ‘Jess, man,’ I got kinda petty. I said, ‘You gotta get more going on in your career so they can stop bringing up my name,” Wayne told Sharpe in their interview.

While the host listened as intently as ever to everything his guest had to say, that’s not stopping him from praising Hilarious’ booty. In the video below, the former NFL icons congratulate the Wild ‘N Out entertainer on accepting her new role alongside Charlamagne Tha God and DJ Envy. “Jess is funny though,” Ochocinco praised the rising star. “Yea,” Sharpe agreed. “Her body ain’t no laughing matter tho. I ain’t know she was like that!” he continued, eliciting some shock from his Nightcap co-star.

Shannon Sharpe is Feeling Jess Hilarious’ Figure

After chatting with Wayne, the 55-year-old took it upon himself to look further into Hilarious’ career. When he got a better look at the curves on her backside, however, he was clearly distracted, even convincing himself that the image was photoshopped. “Wait, she like that?” Johnson asked, still not believing Sharpe’s comments. “Like Kyrie dribbling two basketballs,” the latter insisted.

Jess Hilarious’ bodacious behind isn’t the only topic that Shannon Sharpe and Chad Johnson are making headlines for discussing. When the former suggested that Beyonce doesn’t “move the needle” as much as the NFL’s favourite starlet, Taylor Swift, his good friend was seriously offended.
