A new documentary on Chris Brown will premiere next month, focusing on the various allegations of violence that have followed him throughout his career.
The Young Thug Trial Judge Suggested The Prosecution Is ‘Throwing The Case Together’ As She Considered Mistrial
The judge in the ongoing racketeering trial against Young Thug appears to have reached the end of her patience with the prosecution. Judge Paige Reese Whitaker upbraided Chief Assistant District Attorney Adriane Love for the presentation of the State of Georgia’s case during court today, just ahead of considering a mistrial motion filed by the defense.
“I don’t want to malign the prosecutor standing in front of me right now, so I’m not going to say the possible things it could be,” Whitaker said. “It is baffling to me that somebody with the number of years of experience that you have, time after time after time, continues to seemingly and purposefully hide the ball to the extent you possibly can, for as long as you possibly can. I really don’t want to believe that it is purposeful, but honestly, after a certain number of times, you start to wonder how can it be anything but that. Unless it is just that you are so unorganized that you are throwing this case together as you try it.”
According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the trial has become the longest in Georgia state history as a result of numerous delays, many the direct result of the DA’s office’s presentation of its case, as well as issues with its previous judge, who was removed and replaced by Whitaker earlier this summer. The trial, which was to have begun in 2021, still has over 100 witnesses to get through, and if not declared a mistrial, is expected to continue into next year.
Young Thug is accused of one count of conspiracy to violate Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, possession of a firearm while committing a felony; possession of a machine gun; two counts of participating in criminal street activity; and three counts of violating the Georgia Controlled Substances Act. The DA’s office says Thug was the co-founder and leader of a criminal street gang, Young Slime Life — which not so coincidentally shares initials with his label, Young Stoner Life. The State believes that the label is a cover for and funds the gang’s activities, which include a string of violent crimes such as murder, robbery, and assault.
Snoop Dogg & Dave East Team Up For “Bosco” Soundtrack Cut “Love You More”
Back in the beginning of the year, NBC streaming subsidiary Peacock released Bosco. The film is based on the true story of one Quawntay “Bosco” Adams, who was handed down a 35-year prison sentence for attempting to possess marijuana. However, with a child on the way, he was going to make sure that he was going to be able to make it to the hospital. But him and a woman from Missouri have to get through constant security and a maximum-security wing of the prison. The film adaptation of the book, Chasin Freedum, hit the streaming platform on February 2. Around the time of this announcement, it was revealed that major hip-hop artists would be on its accompanying soundtrack. DDG, French Montana, and The Game are a few of them.
However, we are going to be talking about the collaboration between Snoop Dogg and Dave East, “Love You More”. Overall, given that it’s for a movie’s soundtrack, the production is very clean. However, it does have a nice rhythm and it’s more of a lovey R&B cut. Helping with that more lowkey vibe is singer WHOISTEVENYOUNG, who is sort of sounds like Chris Brown. This track between these three talents of varying experience is one of 10 on the Bosco (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) – Side A. Given the title, we can expect to hear more tracks. However, there doesn’t seem to be any confirmation on that just yet, so we are just speculating right now. You can check out “Love You More” with the link below to it’s new music video.

Kanye West Was The Guest Of Honor At La Dinastia Wagner’s Wrestling Event In Japan
Kanye West is a big fan of Japanese wrestling, as he proved a couple of months ago when he “performed” at an event in the country. Well, it looks like he’s a regular attendee – or at least, as regular as an attendee can be when they spend so much time traveling the world, making music, and being as controversial as he is. Moreover, Ye recently went to another wrestling event in Japan with star La Dinastia Wagner, who actually fist-bumped him when he spotted him in the crowd. The moment was a pretty big deal for the crossover audience that’s a fan of both worlds.
Furthermore, this went down on Monday (September 30) at a Pro Wrestling NOAH event in Tokyo. In addition, other wrestlers greeted Kanye West, including Los Golpeadores, Super Crazy, and Daga. We can’t imagine that he will stay in Tokyo for long, though, as he’s also reportedly working hard on his recently announced upcoming solo album, Bully. While we wait for that drop (if it ever actually manifests, that is), check out the video with La Dinastia Wagner by clicking the “Via” link down below.

Kanye West At Japan Wrestling Event
As far as other extracurricular hijinks in Kanye West’s life, his Malibu mansion’s new owner blasted him for how he gutted the property. “That was a really dumb move. Really no purpose,” Belwood Investments CEO Bo Belmont told The Los Angeles Times. “He single-handedly destroyed this architectural masterpiece. My goal is to make it as though Kanye was never there. The house will be restored right back to what it was. It would have required extensive review… There’s a process to it and he does things his own way, and the city of Malibu, they don’t care who you are they’ll hold you accountable.”
Meanwhile, Kanye West seems like he’s in a more relatively chill space right now compared to other moments throughout 2024. Fans really enjoyed his Eastern shows in Korea and China, including a wholesome performance of “Only One” to the song’s inspiration, his daughter North West. Whether wrestling matches or real estate moves contribute to it, we hope that Ye continues to heal.

Dame Dash Calls Out Diddy For His “Disturbing” Allegations
Dame Dash says he finds the allegations against Diddy “disturbing” but never witnessed any of the behavior of which the Bad Boy mogul has been accused. He discussed the topic of Diddy and his recent arrest for sex trafficking and racketeering during an interview with TMZ published on Monday.
“It’s disturbing. I’ve known him for a while. So, these were things I didn’t know. Now, I know,” Dame said. When the reporter pressed him as to whether he knew or not, Dame added: “Come on man, you know me better than that. You see where I be at.”

He’s since pleaded not guilty to the charges and is awaiting trial at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. Despite being placed on suicide watch initially, his attorney, Marc Agnifilo, told TMZ that it was only a standard measure for the facility with high-profile inmates. He also confirmed that Diddy’s fully committed to fighting the case in court. “I don’t see it happening… because he believes he’s innocent,” the attorney said of him taking a plea deal. “He believes he’s innocent and what’s more, he believes that he needs to stand up not just for himself, for his family and for everybody who has been targeted by the federal government.”

Cardi B Reveals She Was Fighting With Offset When She Found Out About Pregnancy
Cardi B and Offset are currently in the middle of a pretty nasty breakup, a circumstance that longtime fans are quite familiar with at this point. However, things have never been as contentious and outwardly hostile before, and they both clearly still have a lot they want to get off their chest. In the Bronx femcee’s case, she recently hosted an Instagram Live session from the comfort of her Paris hotel room to speak on the situation and on their third child together, which was born mere weeks ago. She even revealed that the couple was fighting a lot when she found out she was pregnant, and that this was an unplanned pregnancy.
“This is around the time that I’m promoting, promoting, promoting the f**k out of ‘Enough,’” Cardi B shared on her social media platform. “So I’m like, damn, I’m pregnant. But I’m not really thinking much of it. Me and my baby dad, we were on very bad terms. I still called him and we kind of laughed about it because it was like, ‘What the f**k? That s**t is so random.’

Cardi B Speaks On Offset & Pregnancy
“We literally went to Colombia [early in the year because he went with me when I got my surgery,” Cardi B continued. “[…] In 2024 I knew I only had sex on Valentine’s Day and before I got my surgery.” Also, she opened up on how she found out she was pregnant in the first place. “It was around March 20 or March 16… It was around those days, right?” Bardi expressed. “I woke up one morning and my mouth tasted like copper. It literally tasted like copper. So I was like, ‘Oh my gosh. This only happened to me when I’m pregnant.’
“So I was like, damn. I automatically knew that I was pregnant,” Cardi B continued. “When I found out it was a girl, I started crying even more because y’all know that I love raising girls.” She also broke down the timeline a little bit more, revealing that she was shocked to be 17 weeks pregnant when she thought she was just six or seven weeks along.

Wack 100 Alleges Drake Trying to Legally Interfere With Kendrick’s Half Time Performance
There’s rap beef and then there’s rap vendettas. We’re not sure where this one falls. But there are reports that Drake is allegedly trying to block Kendrick Lamar’s upcoming Super Bowl halftime performance through legal action, according to music manager Wack 100. This is coming from Wack, so let’s take it with a heavy grain of salt.
During a recent livestream, Wack claimed that Drake is attempting to get the NFL to “restrict” Kendrick’s performance, possibly due to a rivalry between the two rappers.
“He’s trying to get the NFL to restrict Kendrick,” Wack stated. He further claimed that Drake has served Kendrick with a cease-and-desist order to prevent him from performing his diss track “Not Like Us” during the halftime show.
Interestingly, it’s unclear how Drake could legally stop Kendrick from performing the track, especially since it has already been performed live and is available on streaming platforms. Wack did not disclose the source of his information but suggested that JAY-Z, who is involved in organizing the halftime show, would not allow Drake or the NFL to censor Kendrick.
ICYMI, Kendrick was recently announced as the halftime show performer for the 2024 Super Bowl in New Orleans. During the announcement, Kendrick was seen standing on a football field, throwing passes while making statements that some interpreted as subtle jabs at Drake. “Rap music is still the most impactful genre to date,” Kendrick said, adding, “I’ll be there to remind the world why. They got the right one.”
Still ICYMI, like were under a proverbial rock, during the promo video, Kendrick also said, “You know it’s only one opportunity to win a championship; no round twos,” which some thought was a reference to a clip Drake had previously shared, featuring NBA player Rasheed Wallace.
As we are sure most would imagine, Drake reportedly sides with those who believe Lil Wayne should have been chosen to perform at the Super Bowl, as the game will take place in Wayne’s hometown of New Orleans. Many fans had expected the New Orleans rap legend to take the halftime stage.

Tierra Whack Dates The Phillie Phanatic In Her Wildly Imaginative ‘Moovies’ Video
Tierra Whack is still promoting her album World Wide Whack, picking up where the “Two Night” video left off in the new video for “Moovies.” At the end of the prior video, a massive parade float balloon version of Whack was left demolished by the unhinged citizens of her hometown, but at the beginning of “Moovies,” the Philly native puts herself back together with the aid of some normal-sized balloon animals.
Then, an animated Whack goes on a succession of movie dates with a colorful collection of cartoon characters — including the Philadelphia Phillies’ mascot, the Phillie Phanatic. Somewhere, Gritty is shedding tears into cheesesteak over missing his shot (if anyone wants to photoshop gritty into the Wolverine Crush meme with Whack and Phanatic’s phamily photo in the picture frame, they will win the internet today, at least in the City Of Brotherly Love).
Whack previously featured the Phanatic in her NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert, explaining the mascot’s presence as an abundance of hometown love on her part. “Y’all know I gotta keep it Philly,” she said. “I bleed green. I bleed red. Anything Philly is all me. I had to bring a piece of home with me.”
You can check out the video for “Moovies” above.
World Wide Whack is out now via Interscope Records. You can find more info here.
LUCKI & Playboi Carti Appear To Bury The Hatchet With Vague IG Story Post
Playboi Carti took some words from LUCKI to heart a couple of weeks ago, leading to the two MCs to trade some shots. The Opium label boss had an issue with the Chicago, Illinois native buying a chain and saying, “crosses up”. He viewed that as a sneak diss toward his “ALL RED” track where he raps, “Upside-down cross tat’ on my neck, shut ’em up, uh, uh“. LUCKI attempted to clarify what he meant in a short video, saying, “Like I said from the jump, I don’t dislike you. You think, yesterday, because I bought a chain and I said, ‘crosses up,’ that I was sneak dissing you”.
He later added, “I just bought a chain and was saying, ‘crosses up.’ You just insecure because you don’t love Jesus like that”. LUCKI then shared an older picture of Carti with a t-shirt that said “I [heart] Jesus” on it. A few days later, the “Timeless” MC would subtly fire back on IG, “Should’ve signed to the O. I ain’t worried bout nobody, n****s can talk, say whatever they wanna say about me”.

Now, though, there is another vague social media post from LUCKI, although it appears to be showing signs of positivity. According to Kurrco, the GEMINI! creator posted a screenshot of a recently completed phone call with “Barti” to his second account’s IG Story. We can only assume that it was between him and Carti and that they discussed the public feud. Overall, it seems like things are all good now given that there’s a “
” emoji over the screenshot. It is good to see that they reconciled, even if it was just a misunderstanding, ultimately.
What are your thoughts on LUCKI and Playboi Carti appearing to settle their differences? Do you think this beef was just a big misunderstanding? Could you see these two making some music together soon? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding LUCKI and Playboi Carti. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.
