Chris Brown’s previously anonymous domestic violence accuser has spoken out and made her voice heard before a new documentary on the artist is set to premiere.
EarthGang And T-Pain Claim They Can ‘Love You More’ On Their Romantically Competitive New Single
EarthGang’s fifth studio album is on the way. Today (October 11), the first taste of Perfect Fantasy has hit streaming platforms. Although “Love You More,” which features T-Pain, was previously teased online, the full track is far more sensual than expected.
Throughout the record, EarthGang and T-Pain work to prove there is no competition when it comes to who’s the better romantic partner. The track opens with a chorus from T-Pain to set the mood. He sings, “No, I know this ain’t no competition / Tell me ’bout your day, I wanna listen / Hit the jackpot with you / Throw these racks out with you / Shot my shot and now I know, I hit the score / Bae, I cannot love you more and more / I love you more and more.”
Johnny Venus’ verse share the same thread, but he goes about it much explicitly, rapping: “Fat ass / Sweet thighs / I’ma spread ’em, make ’em do the peace sign / Tasty, I hop in that p*ssy waist deep / Then hop in the whip and take us a trip / And you can have anything you see / And excess success and whole lot of sex / Tiffany said no blood diamonds, but I cut these fool necks for you.”
Whether clean or raunchy love is love, and EarthGang as well as T-Pain has plenty of it to go around.
Listen to “Love You More” above.
Perfect Fantasy is out 10/29 via Dreamville/Interscope. Find more information here.
Skepta Flashes His Vulnerable Side With Flo Milli On “Why Lie?”
Some people may have forgot, so we are going to remind y’all. Skepta made a big announcement at the top of 2024, and it was for his next album. The UK legend’s sixth studio album is a grand return for him as well, as he’s been more in the thick of the EDM and grime scenes over the last few years. Since the reveal, Big Smoke has gone on to give us four possible singles, with “Jangrova,” a January 19 release, being the first. The rollout hit a bit of a speedbump right after that, as the cover art for “Gas Me Up (Diligent)” drew some backlash for its assumed reference to The Holocaust (it wound up not being that).
Things would pick back up in March with “Tony Montana,” and then “Miss Independent” in July. Something that we have noticed from the Ignorance is Bliss rapper is that he’s looking to try out multiple soundscapes. We have heard forays into Afrobeats, trap rap, and even sexy drill. This time, Skepta is dipping his toes into pop rap with Flo Milli on “Why Lie?” He’s entirely new to this subset by any means, but it’s not his normal home either. He’s doing some more singing on this cut and even trade some lines and adlibs with the Alabama femcee. It’s not your usual Skepta, so we are curious to hear what you think about it.

Free From “106 & Park” Responds To Allegation That Jay-Z & Her Had A Baby
Thanks to the Diddy scandal, Jaguar Wright, and many other accusers, there are a lot of Jay-Z rumors floating around the Internet right now. They’re all just allegations, and despite the fervor with which many social media users discuss them with online, they remain baseless at press time. One older rumor largely attributed to Wendy Williams is that he had a baby with 106 & Park host Free, a speculative theory which people have often dismissed in the past. Now, Free herself came through with a response on her social media, denying it outright. As you can see in the comments section of the Instagram post below, this resulted in a lot of fervent discussion, especially considering how long this has been in the rumor mill.
“‘Where’s the kid you and…’” Free read a comment from a fan during her recent Instagram Live session. “You know, I be reading it all the way thinking that y’all got a real question. Cut it out. I’ll say it one time: Free has no biological children. You guys picking fools? *laughs* You guys picking nuts.”

Free Responds To Jay-Z Child Rumors
In fact, Jaguar Wright’s allegations about Jay-Z made Piers Morgan take down his interview with her, during which she had made them. “There’s rumors and then there’s nonsense and this is one step further,” Hov and Beyoncé’s lawyer Alex Spiro told TMZ about the situation. “This is a pointed and formal accusation of something. I felt it needed to be responded to. I think somebody reported it was a cease-and-desist. It wasn’t that. It was quite bluntly an ultimatum, which is to remove that false accusation that’s demonstrably false or a court’s gonna order you to. So, I think he made the wise choice and acted accordingly.”
“Editing interviews is not something we do lightly at a show called Uncensored,” Piers Morgan said of the Jay-Z debacle. “But like the proverbial cries of fire in a crowded theater, there are legal limits on us, too. And we apologize to Jay-Z and Beyoncé.” We will see what other wild, speculative theories come and go amid all these scandals and baseless allegations.

Summer Walker Teases Third Studio Album ‘Finally Over It’ With “Heart Of A Woman” Announcement

Are Stormzy And Victoria Monét Dating?
It looks like a new music power couple may be brewing.
Are Stormzy And Victoria Monét Dating?
Today (October 11), The Sun shared photos of Stormzy and Victoria Monét together at London’s Heathrow Airport. The photos show the two musicians hugging and kissing each other.
The publication notes Stormzy “grinned as he gave Victoria a hug before kissing her on the lips.” They also cite “an onlooker” as saying, “Both Stormzy and Victoria looked absolutely smitten with each other. They kissed and when he hugged her he picked her up in the air.”
While neither artist has confirmed there’s a relationship here, the two at least appear to be especially comfortable with each other.
This comes shortly after both artists revealed they ended relationships. In July, Stormzy and Love Island presenter Maya Jama announced their break-up in a joint statement that reads in part:
“We fell madly in love in 2014, broke up in 2019, and then spent five years manoeuvring life apart. We decided to try for the final time in August 2023, and we’ve spent this past year trying our best to make it work. However, we recently decided to call it quits. We were 21 and 20 when we first met-both at the beginning of our careers-and spent five years growing together and then five years growing separately, so this final attempt required a whole lot of figuring out, relearning, and unlearning. We tried, and it didn’t work, and that’s okay.”
Then, in September, Monét and John Gaines revealed in a joint statement of their own that they ended their relationship ten months ago. Together, the two have a 3.5-year-old daughter, Hazel.
Joe Budden Denies Jaguar Wright’s Claims About Him And Stevie J
Jaguar Wright spent a lot of time as of late launching salacious and outrageous allegations against many hip-hop and media elites in the industry. Whether it’s Diddy, Jay-Z, or the Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef, she ruffled a lot of feathers as of late… At least, more than she usually does. One of the singer’s most odd claims in the eyes of a certain rapper-podcaster is that she allegedly saw a supposed video of music producer Stevie J having sex with Joe Budden. On his titular podcast, the Slaughterhouse MC and media personality responded to these allegations.
“No, she is grabbing the salacious and very obvious headlines and expounding on them with s**t,” Joe Budden began. “And again, I’m only saying this ’cause I heard her say out of her mouth that she saw a video of Stevie J and Joe Budden f***ing. So I know, I know, I can say with 100% certainty, oh, that this lady just be saying s**t to add to the luster of whatever the f**k she’s saying.” Then, Ice joked that maybe Joe just didn’t know that there was a camera in the room, although he clarified that it was just a joke amid the podcast cohosts’ laughter. “I’ve never been in any compromising situation. I’ve never been in any situation where someone tried to overtake – that’s never happened to me,” Budden replied.

Joe Budden Responds To Jaguar Wright
As far as actual smoke, Joe Budden isn’t focused on Jaguar Wright, but rather on DDG due to a recent online spat. But this might heal soon. “I like you a little bit,” Budden said during a recent podcast episode. “The same way I don’t know s**t about him, he clearly don’t know s**t about me. So, do I want to come in here and use my powers for evil and f***ing just end this n***a for sending all these bots my way?”
Meanwhile, Jaguar Wright’s latest media rift was with DJ Vlad, who claimed that she lied about an interview request. “Jaguar Wright recently did an interview where she showed an email claiming we contacted her for an interview,” Vlad tweeted. “This is false. Only emails from @vladtv.com are invitations to the show. This is why she’s covering the email address. Like I said in the Piers Morgan panel, Jaguar Wright has never been invited to do an interview, and she never will be. This is someone who seems to be suffering from mental illness. Anyone who interviews her is taking advantage of a mentally disabled person for views.”

Charleston White Reportedly Arrested For Alleged Animal Cruelty & Assault With A Deadly Weapon
Charleston White is certainly no stranger to making headlines for his wild online antics. Today, however, he’s going viral for a far more serious reason. Reportedly, the internet personality was recently arrested. According to a post by Akademiks TV, he’s accused of cruelty to a non-livestock animal and assault with a deadly weapon. The post also includes what appears to be White’s mugshot, in which he looks relatively unbothered. The circumstances leading up to his arrest remain unclear at the time of writing.
This isn’t White’s first run-in with the law. He was also arrested back in December of 2023, though he posted bond just hours later. At the time, he was also charged with alleged animal cruelty as well as two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Allegedly, he had sprayed a cat with pepper spray in 2022 and threatened two men with a gun.

As for what else White has been up to outside of his legal issues, he’s recently been involved in a public feud with YSL Woody. Last month, Woody called White out for trash-talking him in interviews, claiming that it made him lose respect for him. White later hopped online with a scathing rant about Woody, in which he accused him of snitching on Young Thug. “I’m praying for you cuz you really need it,” he also added. “And you’re playing with the wrong one.”
Earlier this month, Woody also accused White of putting an Apple AirTag in the backseat of his car to track his whereabouts. He expressed confusion about how the device got there, insisting that he doesn’t typically let anyone in his vehicle. What do you think of Charleston White reportedly getting arrested recently for alleged animal cruelty and assault with a deadly weapon?

FBG Duck’s Mother Sues Lil Durk & OTF: Breaking Down The Lawsuit
The mother of slain rapper FBG Duck, real name Carlton Weekly, has filed a lawsuit implicating some of the biggest names in Chicago’s drill rap scene, including Lil Durk and the late King Von. According to Chicago Sun-Times, the lawsuit accuses the aforementioned artists of profiting off of her son’s tragic murder in 2020, when the culprits shot and killed him in broad daylight. As such, she claims that they’ve turned tragic gang-related killings into commercial success, one that has earned them accolades and fame. Here’s what we know so far.

The Gold Coast Killing That Shook Chicago
On August 4, 2020, FBG Duck tragically died following a shooting in broad daylight in Chicago’s upscale Gold Coast neighborhood. Officials said gunmen ambushed Duck, alleged to be a prominent member of the Gangster Disciples faction Tookaville, while he shopped for a gift for his son outside Dolce & Gabbana. His girlfriend, Cashae Williams, and another man, Davon Brinson, also faced injuries in the attack. Police claim the murder was the culmination of a bitter feud between Duck’s Tookaville crew and the O Block faction of the Black Disciples.
Diss tracks and street beefs fueled the gang rivalry as FBG Duck and King Von exchanged insults in their music. King Von allegedly placed a $100K bounty on Duck’s head, which further escalated tensions.
The Lawsuit: Monetizing Murder
FBG Duck’s mother, Lasheena Weekly, has filed a wrongful death lawsuit targeting Lil Durk, King Von’s estate, and their record label, Only The Family (OTF). According to the lawsuit, these entities “monetized the killing of FBG Duck” by capitalizing on the gang rivalry in their music and public personas. The suit argues that OTF, a label associated with violent and criminal activity, grew its fame and financial success by glorifying real-world gang violence, with Duck’s murder being a key moment in their rise.
The lawsuit also names major record labels like Sony, accusing them of knowingly promoting and distributing violent content that contributed to FBG Duck’s killing. It alleges that Durk and Von, both identified as high-ranking members of the Black Disciples, built their careers and public images around their gang affiliations, which in turn helped drive their record sales and streaming numbers.

OTF: A Criminal Enterprise?
The claim that OTF is a criminal enterprise outside of its function as a record label is at the heart of the lawsuit. Weekly’s attorneys argue that OTF operates as a front for gang-related activity, using its music and artists to legitimize and profit from violence. They point to Durk and Von’s frequent diss tracks aimed at FBG Duck as evidence of this, citing the 2020 track “Took Her To the O,” in which Von references killing a rival named “Duck.”
The lawsuit alleges that this kind of reality rap, where artists blur the lines between fictional lyrics and real-life events, drives engagement through controversy and violence. The suit claims that the labels, including Sony, saw financial opportunity in promoting artists with criminal backgrounds, essentially turning their music into a dangerous product for public consumption.

The Role Of Record Labels & Corporate Responsibility
The lawsuit takes aim at not only the rappers but also the corporate entities behind them. Per Sun-Times, Weekly’s attorneys argue that companies like Sony bear responsibility for promoting and distributing violent content that glorifies gang life. By signing artists like Durk and Von, and investing in their controversial personas, these labels allegedly played a direct role in fostering the violence that led to FBG Duck’s murder.
“Without a doubt, Lil Durk, OTF, King Von, O Block — a criminal organization — could never have achieved the international fame and become so emboldened to kill a rival musician without the promotion, distribution and financial support provided to them by these record companies,” Attorney Roosevelt Allen III, representing Weekly, said. “Our laws do not allow a company to put out a dangerous, defective product that could harm our community.”
Legal Implications & Responses
At the time of writing, Lil Durk and the record labels involved have not publicly commented on the lawsuit. Prosecutors built the case on evidence presented during the O Block trial, which saw six members and associates of the Black Disciples convicted in FBG Duck’s slaying earlier this year. Von died a few months after Duck but according to the Sun-Times, prosecutors identified him as a gang leader.
The lawsuit also raises questions about the role of security and law enforcement on the day of the murder. According to the suit, Dolce & Gabbana failed to provide adequate security outside their Gold Coast location. It also claims Chicago police officers did not respond quickly enough after Duck was shot. Weekly claims her son bled for 17 minutes before emergency medical crews arrived.
A Tragic Rivalry Turned Into Profits
The longstanding feud between O Block and Tookaville had been immortalized in a series of diss tracks, with both FBG Duck and King Von taking aim at each other. Von, who was killed in Atlanta in late 2020, had reportedly placed a $100,000 bounty on Duck’s head, adding fuel to the violent conflict. Following Duck’s death, Von’s career skyrocketed, with his music videos and diss tracks garnering millions of views, further amplifying the rivalry for public consumption.
In essence, the lawsuit argues that Duck’s murder wasn’t just a tragic street feud but a key element of the branding strategy that propelled OTF and its artists to international fame. As Weekly and her legal team move forward with the case, it remains to be seen how the court will handle the complex intersections of gang violence, corporate responsibility, and free expression in rap music.
