Aaron Rodgers On Jimmy Kimmel: “I Don’t Think He’s A P-Word”

Jimmy Kimmel was happy to address Aaron Rodgers in a scathing rant on the latest episode of his late-night show, but rather than clapping back, the NFL star’s response makes it sound as though he’s ready to put their feud to rest. In his opening monologue on Monday (January 8), the TV personality gave the audience an ear-full about his nemesis, who he believes is obviously guilty of defamation. Kimmel insinuated that Rodgers was planning on popping bottles if his name came out along with the controversial Jeffrey Epstein documents. The former says he’s never met the embattled financier and dares “Karen Rodgers” to share any incriminating evidence in court.

Though Kimmel also asked for an apology, the quarterback doesn’t seem ready to give it. However, he did have a few words for the host that better clarified his stance on the 56-year-old’s alleged connection to Epstein. “I was referring to the fact that if there’s a list,” Rodgers said on a new episode of The Pat McAfee Show, “and there are names on it, that it’d be the second time a soft-brained, junior college wacko… Whatever other things have been said by him and other people in the media – would be right twice.”

“I totally understand how serious an allegation of pedophilia would be… I’m not [ignorant] enough to accuse you of that with zero evidence,” the California native continued before throwing in a few digs at Kimmel’s intelligence. From the sounds of things, Rodgers is about ready to put the spat behind him and move on with his life.

“I think it’s impressive that a man who went to Arizona State and has joke writers can read off a prompter,” Aaron Rodgers further responded to Kimmel. “I wish him the best, I don’t give a s*** what he says about me. I’m not accusing him of being on the list.” Check out the athlete’s full statement above and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Do Ice Spice & Latto Have Beef? New Yorker Appears In Background Of “777” Artist’s TikTok Amid Rumours

If you thought the women of rap were leaving their petty drama behind in 2023, you’re already being proven wrong thanks to the latest antics of Ice Spice and Latto. Amid the former’s record breaking year, the latter has faced accusations of jacking her style and dropping shady bars. Though they haven’t had any issues in person yet, all the subliminal shade has us wondering if 2024 will be when a confrontation between the New York and Atlanta based creatives ensues. For now, they’re sticking to business as usual, with Latto making an interesting choice when previewing new music on social media.

Eagle-eyed internet users quickly noticed a familiar face in the background of the 777 hitmaker’s new snippet. Though Spice wasn’t there in real life, a clip of her “Pretty Girl” music video was playing on the TV behind Latto while she rhymed for the camera. “I just want a one-on-one, don’t know why she so nervous,” the blonde beauty spits, with many viewers speculating she’s referring to her redhead contemporary.

“O @Latto SHADES @icespice_ requesting a ONE ON ONE and then plays ICE SPICE in the background SO SHE CATCHES THE DIRECT WHACK. GENIUS!!!!! I LOVE FEMALE RAP,” one music lover wrote after catching the mess. As AllHipHop notes, it wasn’t long before Spice appeared to respond with some bars of her own. “Think you the s**t, b**ch, you not even the fart,” she declares on her upcoming release, which is sure to go viral on platforms like TikTok this winter.

They may not have enough in common to form a friendship, but Ice Spice and Latto both achieved some massive feats in 2023. Besides turning up the heat with singles like “Put It On Da Floor” and “Deli,” both femcees also earned prestigious recognition from Forbes on their annual 30 Under 30 list.

Trontavious Stephens’ YSL Testimony Leaves Us Laughing As He Evades Snitching Questions

We knew there would be some serious antics unfolding in court throughout the YSL RICO trial, but we couldn’t possibily have predicted this much of a fiasco. Over a year and a half after Young Thug was first arrested in Atlanta, he remains behind bars, with court proceedings only kicking off in the final weeks of 2023. Unfortuntaely, the stabbing of a co-defendant put a brief pause of things ahead of the holiday season, but as the new year began, so too did Thugger’s fight for his freedom.

The latest updates from Fulton County confirm that the label’s co-founder, Trontavious Stephens, is among the latest to give his testimony after previously accepting a plea deal. On Wednesday (January 3), he spoke about YSL being an organization that’s about “the music,” not commiting crimes. As Fox 5 Atlanta notes, part of Stephens’ agreement with the prosecution is that he’s required to testify “truthfully and without invoking his Fifth Amendment right.” While he did admit to gang involvement dating back as early as his teenage years, the witness did everything in his power to evade questions about snitching.

“What does snitching mean to you?” a female voice asks Stephens in the video above. “It doesn’t mean anything to me,” he responds after taking a moment to carefully consider his words. “But I’m aware of the term,” he acknowledges, speaking the truth, as promised. “What is the meaning of the term?” prosecutors further press him, to which Trontavious simply shakes his head. “The definition?” she continues. “It doesn’t mean anything to me but I’m aware of the term,” the YSL leader reiterates.

Even though he’s approaching two years of being behind bars on his YSL RICO charges, Young Thug remains optimistic about the future. Now that he’s back in court, the So Much Fun hitmaker’s social media pages are lighting up with teasers of his latest creative project – a clothing brand. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Playboi Carti’s New Song And Music Video “Ring The Alarm” Is Coming Soon

Playboi Carti’s new era is fully underway, but you wouldn’t know it if you only listen to music through digital streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music. His new singles have been dropping exclusively on YouTube but that hardly means they’re throwaways. Earlier this week he shared a new song called “Backr00ms” which featured Travis Scott. The song racked up millions of views right away and even got a shoutout on Twitter from Ice Spice.

He’s been dropping quite a bit of material recently and doesn’t appear to be done any time soon. News is making its way around hip-hop sites online confirming that a new song called “RING THE ALARM” is on the way. Much like the other songs it’s expected to be attached to a new video. Pictures from what looks like the music video shoot are spreading online alongside the news of the single’s impending drop. It still hasn’t officially been announced if all of these singles are building towards a new album, or when that album might drop.

Playboi Carti Continues Dropping New Music

Playboi Carti has been making waves online even outside of the series of new songs he’s shared. He’s found himself at the center of some new dating rumors after sharing come content online with Camila Cabello. That first started last month when he shared a picture of the two of them together in the studio. He doubled down earlier this week revealing he had been facetiming the pop star and former Fifth Harmony member.

While that’s been going on he’s also been dealing with drama surrounding his baby mama Iggy Azalea. After he shared a video of himself with their son during the holidays, Azalea clapped back. She called Carti an absent father, something she’s accused him of numerous times publicly. Carti didn’t respond directly to the allegation as he’s largely avoided discussing them publicly. What do you think of yet another Playboi Carti song dropping soon? Let us know in the comment section below.

Asian Doll On “Fresh & Fit”: Femcee Reacts To Host Myron Gaines Walking Out Mid-Interview

Fresh & Fit podcast hosts Myron Gaines and Walter Weekes are known for sharing controversial takes on their show. In the past, they’ve specifically tapped female guests who they think they can beat in an argument, though Asian Doll quickly proved during her episode that she’s not one to play with. In a clip currently making rounds across blogs, the 27-year-old confidently stands her ground when galling out Gaines for being “mean” to her and the friends she brought along with her to appear on the internet show.

“Uh, I don’t even know who she is, so, I don’t care” the podcaster awkwardly said in the clip below. “D**n,” is what the femcee came back with. Shortly afterward, Gaines lashes out at his guest and her company again, this time for their “sidebar conversations,” which he apparently had to call them out on six times. “He mean as f**k,” the Dallas-born artist pointed out, leading another man in the room to laugh as Asian stood up for herself. “She been doing it the whole show. I’m not mean as f**k, I just have rules,” Gaines shot back.

As tensions between them continued to rise, Gains eventually became so frustrated that he walked off his own show. “He walked in his bedroom and closed the door peacefully 😂,” Asian shared on Twitter after catching a retweet of their verbal altercation. “I had 15 people in there behind those cameras and that’s why I gagged him calmly. We would’ve tore him uppp in his lil condo.”

The Fresh & Fit podcast has been at the centre of controversy since the end of last summer. At that time, Myron Gaines was overflowing with emotion as his internet show lost its YouTube monetization privileges due to the troubling nature of some of its content. Read more about that at the link below, and let us know if you think Asian Doll was right for standing on business at the link below.

6ix9ine’s Girlfriend Single Again, Rapper Blames Her Jealousy & “Mental Health Problems” For Split

6ix9ine’s stay in the Dominican Republic has been teaching him plenty of relationships, accountability, and making the best of a bad situation. The New York native isn’t currently in prison overseas. However, he remains in the country after bringing a squad of goons to attack local producers spending time with his (now ex) girlfriend on the island. From what he’s saying about Yailin La Mas Viral, it sounds like the 21-year-old struggles with serious insecurity issues. Earlier this week, 6ix9ine’s Instagram Story lit up with a video revealing that they’re going their separate ways after she seemingly accused him of sleeping with her friend.

The clip below shows an argument ensuing in Spanish, with the embattled entertainer typing out his side. “This was all the time, accusing me of looking at women to making me jealous of [her] own friends,” the message reads after translating it to English. “It’s a mental health problem,” 6ix9ine alleged, before urging his followers to avoid lashing out at Viral. “Get her help,” he urged those still in the young woman’s life.

6ix9ine is no stranger to rocky relationships, though this one with the “Narcisista” hitmaker has been particularly damaging to his reputation. He has a history of spinning the block in the past. Because of this, we’re curious to see if he and Yailin can make it over this speed bump. If not, perhaps he’ll find a new love interest during the rest of his stay.

6ix9ine’s latest lover isn’t the only woman causing problems in his life at this time. In the final weeks of 2023, his ex, Jade (who was recently linked to Offset, though the Migos member has denied any involvement with her), claims that the “GOOBA” artist and Off the Record podcast host DJ Akademiks have been “f**king for a very long time.” Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Amber Rose & Wiz Khalifa In Their Besties Era With No Plans For Romantic Reconciliation, She Says

Amber Rose was one of the original Instagram baddies when the app first blew up in 2010. In the years since then, she’s only further grown her resume, appearing on numerous podcasts to discuss her high-profile relationships with figures like Kanye West and Wiz Khalifa. She and Yeezy have no children, though the model does share 10-year-old Sebastian with the latter lyricist. Throughout their romance, we enjoyed seeing the blonde beauty looking stunning on her man’s arm, but unfortunately, the aesthetics weren’t enough to keep love going past its expiration date.

Today (January 3), Rose was on The Tamron Hall Show, where she spoke about where things stand between her and the “Taylor Gang” artist now. “I think that me and Wiz are… best friends now. We’re so far past being in love that I can say that now, right? It’s not like anything that we would circle back to or anything. We’re just friends and co-parents.”

At this point, the socialite feels she’s done a lot of healing from their split, but her focus isn’t on finding a man to complete her. “Right now, I love myself. I love my kids. I’m not thinking about no man, Tamron. Not right now.” Afterward, she listed a few of her favourite things about being single, including, “Having my own schedule. Not worrying about what anyone else is doing. Waiting for a text message. Not having to send a good night text when I don’t feel like it,” just to name a few.

We may never see Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa packing on the PDA again. Still, that doesn’t mean the OnlyFans creator is giving up on love for good. Following the holiday season, she and Grown Ups actor Chris Rock were photographed out and about together, causing the rumour mill to begin turning.

DJ Akademiks’ Explicit Photos Shown To Adam22 & Troy Ave By His Ex, Chey, Podcaster Alleges

DJ Akademiks is among the more well-known hip-hop bloggers, but when his name begins to make headlines, it’s not often for flattering reasons. Rather, it’s due to him berating females in the music industry, though he doesn’t take it so well when the tables turn on him. Since the final days of 2023, the Off the Record host is on blast for potentially sexually assaulting a woman. When she got word of what Ak was saying about her, the woman came forward, confirming that a kit was done after their alleged non-consensual encounter.

Instead of addressing those rumours, the controversial media personality is causing a stir in other ways, namely spreading rumours about people from his past who he claims have done him wrong. Among those on Ak’s hit list is his ex, Chey, who reportedly leaked her man’s x-rated photos to Adam22 and Troy Ave. “She’s like, ‘Oh, I’m gonna show these ni**as that really I’m yo’ b**ch. I got pictures of you that nobody would wanna see,’” he alleged on a new episode of his Spotify show.

“What type of girl would do that?!” the 32-year-old asked, clearly appalled by the behaviour in question. After @nojumper posted a clip of the conversation, trolls were quick to poke fun at Akademiks’ hypocritical sensitivity. “He bullies girls now he’s getting bullied and he does an interview wanting sympathy… [Wild] how that works 😂😂😂,” one person laughed. “Akademiks might’ve clinched sucker of the year with a last second 95 yard drive,” another wrote.

As he continues to turn the conversation away from the sexual assault and grooming minors allegations coming out against him, DJ Akademiks ended his 2023 by putting Metro Boomin on blast. In a scathing social media rant, the podcaster called the producer out for liking a tweet about his ongoing relationship issues.

Jada Kingdom Makes It Clap For Pardison Fontaine On New Year’s Eve

Pardison Fontaine was working in the music industry long before he and Megan Thee Stallion made their relationship public. Now that he’s moving on with another woman, critics are suggesting they only liked the lyricist when he was linked to the Houston Hottie. Interestingly, his new lover is Jamaica’s own Jada Kingdom, who’s known for her notoriously curvaceous body and twerking skills – much like Meg. Even if Pardi had plenty of unkind words to unleash on the Hot Girl Coach when dropping his “THEE PERSON” diss track last fall, he certainly seems to have a type.

Days after celebrating his 34th birthday with the black-haired baddie by his side, the “Hoop Earrings” artist was ready to end 2023 on a memorable note. Fontaine and Kingdom filmed a TikTok video amid their NYE celebrations, with the former hyping up the latter as she expertly makes her cheeks clap for the camera. “HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!!🎊🎆🎈,” he wrote in his caption, though the comment section seems far more focused on comparing Pardi’s old and new partners.

“I mean if you miss her just say so 😂,” and “Had to get himself a lookalike smh,” are among the post’s most-liked comments. “You can tell he still in his feelings 😂. He got something to prove and it’s not working 😂😂😂😂😂🤷🏿‍♀️,” another user speculated. Elsewhere, someone pointed out how foolish it is to take sides in a stranger’s affairs. “Prior to him and his ex getting together. I was a HUGE fan of his and I was a HUGE fan of hers and guess what? I’m still a fan of BOTH of them because them not being together ain’t none of our business,” they wrote.

Before their relationship turned sour, it’s hard to deny that Megan Thee Stallion and Pardison Fontaine were one of hip-hop’s hottest couples. They loved to tear it up on the dance floor together, and social media never complained when new PDA-filled videos of them turning up hit the internet.
