Soulja Boy says that he is focusing solely on his acting career in 2022 and plans to put all of his rap beefs behind him going forward. Soulja’s Revolt TV series is set to premiere later this month.

“2022, my new TV show coming out January 21 [with] Revolt TV, shout-out to P. Diddy,” the rapper said during an Instagram live stream. “Being Draco, new TV show January 21, 2022, we going into the year with all positive energy, you know what I’m saying? I ain’t got no beef with nobody. I ain’t got no smoke, no problems, no nothin’. All I’m doing is TV show and movies, I’m a actor now.”

As of late, Soulja hadn’t been shying away from public disputes, sharing beef with Kanye West, the late Young Dolph, and NBA YoungBoy.

Soulja first teased doing a television show for Revolt during an Instagram Live session in October: “Big shout-out to P Diddy, big shout-out to Revolt. I got a new TV show coming out on Revolt TV. Shout-out to Puff Daddy, y’all know what the fuck going on. My new TV show is coming soon and it’s going viral, no cap.”

Could there be trouble in paradise for Megan Thee Stallion and Pardison Fontaine? One of hip-hop’s most popular couples has sparked new breakup rumors after fans noticed that Megan deleted most of her photos with Pardi from Instagram. She also didn’t wish him a happy birthday on social media, despite him celebrating a few days ago.

It might be the beginning of the new year but already, we’re starting off with some drama. It appears as though there could be something happening between lovebirds Megan and Pardi. While they both still follow each other on social media, fans realized that Pardi’s birthday just passed and Megan did not say a peep online about it. She may have spent the day with the songwriter in person, but it’s generally pretty normal to send a sweet birthday message online too. In addition to possibly snubbing him on his birthday, Megan also took some action on her page, deleting photos of them together from her feed. On Pardi’s account, he still has his photos with Megan posted.

It has not been confirmed that there’s anything happening between these two, but it looks like that possibility could be legit. Do you think they broke up over the holidays?

We will keep you posted on any updates as Megan or Pardi respond to the rumors.

Ed Sheeran says that South Park ruined his life growing up because of the running gags about kids with red hair. The show has joked that they have “no souls,” and inspired “Kick a Ginger Day.” Despite this, Sheeran still says he would love to voice his own character on the show if they ever satirize him.

The episode Sheeran referenced, “Ginger Kids,” came out in 2005.

“Having red hair in England was always a thing that people took the piss out of you for, but it was never something in America. People never knew what a ginger was in America,” Sheeran explained in a recent interview with Slam Radio, as noticed by The Independent. “That episode of South Park fucking ruined my life. I was going to America and everyone was like, ‘I love your hair dude.’ And I was like, ‘Oh my God, people like my hair?’ And then I remember that episode coming out and that was just it worldwide for the rest of my life.”

He added that he is still a fan of the series and hopes to appear in an episode: “I hope that if I’m ever on South Park, them taking the piss, I hope I’m allowed to voice my character,” he said. “Even if it’s very offensive, I’d love to voice my character.”

South Park recently released a new television movie through Paramount+ titled, South Park: Post Covid: The Return of Covid.

Kanye West’s date with actress Julia Fox might have been a one-and-done. The paparazzi caught up with the Uncut Gems star after she was spotted catching dinner with the 44-year-old music legend, and she told the paparazzi that she doesn’t know if they will end up going on a second date.

Pop culture fanatics have been reacting all weekend to Ye’s dinner date with Julia Fox at Carbone in Miami, which comes following the “Touch The Sky” artist’s sightings in Houston with Yasmine Lopez, Belize with J. Prince, and other places around the world. Despite the two seemingly enjoying their time together at the restaurant, Fox seemed “uncomfortable” when she was asked about the soirée from the paps.

“I don’t know,” said the 31-year-old when she was asked whether there would be a second date with Ye.

Fox is presently in a battle with her ex, Peter Artemiev, over the custody of their child. Meanwhile, Ye appears to be having the time of his life, jet-setting around the world and being spotted with multiple women inside of his Miami hotel room. While it looked like he was having fun with Fox, it seems like this could have been a one-night thing. 

What do you think about Julia Fox and Kanye West going on a date?

Halle Berry trolled her followers on Instagram, over the weekend, by tricking them into thinking she had gotten married to her boyfriend Van Hunt. In reality, Berry says the post was just a celebration of the new year.

“Well… IT’S OFFICIAL,” Berry captioned a romantic photo of herself and Hunt, before adding in the next picture, “It’s 2022!”

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Ava DuVernay, Octavia Spencer, and more all congratulated the legendary actress in the comments section.

Berry clarified that she was joking in a follow-up post.

“We were just having some New Year’s Day fun! People clearly don’t swipe as much as we thought they did,” she explained. “Thank you for the well wishes, tho’, it really touched our hearts!”

She joked: “Now it’s OFFICIAL, the internet is no longer undefeated. #nomoreswipes4me #Januaryfoolsday.”

Questlove commented several angry face emojis under the admission. 

Despite the fake-out, marrying Hunt wouldn’t be the first time Berry has tied the knot. She’s previously been married to former Atlanta Brave David Justice from 1993 to 1997, singer Eric Benét from 2001 to 2005, and actor Olivier Martinez from 2013 to 2016.

Berry and Hunt have been dating since 2020.

YK Osiris can add French Montana to the growing list of people he needs to expeditiously pay back. Previously, the rapper was targeted by Drake, Lil Baby, and other A-listers to whom he allegedly owes money. He said that this year, he plans to get back to everyone he owes quickly, but he started off 2022 with a visit from French Montana at the club, who added himself to Osiris’ list.

Sharing a new video on his Instagram Stories, French pulled up on YK and told him that he’s waiting for his money back, telling the rapper that he owes him $5,000.

“I found my n***a, he owe me some money,” said French Montana. “He don’t wanna pay me? I’ma get my money in the Bahamas.”

“I’ma give the money back,” said YK. “How much I owe you?”

“You owe me $5,000 from bowling, man, you never paid me,” said French. 

“I’ll give you that back, give me two more weeks,” replied YK.

At this point, the question is more, who does YK Osiris not owe money to. He seems to be in debt with just about every rapper in the game. Maybe one of his New Year’s resolutions should be to be a little more careful with betting money against his rich peers.

Check out the video of French running up on YK below. 

Quavo reflected on Migos’ performance for the WWE in a post on Instagram, Sunday. The group had performed at the 2022 Day 1 event Saturday at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta.

“Lastnight My One Wish as a Kid Came True! @wwe Thanks,” Quavo captioned several photos from the event.

At the event, Brock Lesnar defeated Big E, Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens and Bobby Lashley in a Fatal 5-Way match to secure the WWE Championship. Universal Champion Roman Reigns was originally slated to have a matchup with Lesnar, but tested positive for COVID-19 ahead of the title match.

The Migos showed up during the entrance for RK-Bro (Randy Orton and Matt Riddle). Afterward, they sat near the announcer’s table during the Raw Tag Team Championships.

In addition to performing with the rest of Migos, Quavo assisted the WWE in a promo trailer for the event. 

“This right here is Day 1. A new year, a new opportunity,” Quavo said in the trailer. “And what you do tonight—in my city of Atlanta, in front of all these people—becomes the blueprint for your tomorrow.”

Antonio Brown made headlines this weekend by stripping off his jersey in the middle of the third quarter and storming off the field, quitting the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The wide receiver followed up his outburst with the release of his new rap single, titled “Pit Not The Palace,” on Sunday night. 

As football fans continue to react to Antonio Brown leaving the Bucs in the middle of last night’s game, Florida rapper Kodak Black is defending the 33-year-old athlete, theorizing on why he may have dramatically walked off the field.

“Don’t B Kwik To Shun @AB84 Ain’t Nobody Finna Jus Do That Fa No Apparent Reason,” tweeted Yak following the incident. “Gotta B Some Shit We Don’t Know Bout & Clearly Fam Had Some Fines to pay & dem People Wasn’t Tryna Put em in da game so he can earn dem bonuses … of course a n***a gone get frustrated.”

As Kodak suggests, AB was expecting to grab some signing bonuses during this game. With eight more catches, he would have earned a $333,333 signing bonus. Fifty-five receiving yards would give him another bonus, worth the same amount. And one singular receiving touchdown would have resulted in another $333,333 bonus. So, all in all, his outburst cost him a likely $1 million in bonuses.

Brown has not addressed his on-field meltdown. After being cut from the team, he thanked the Bucs for the opportunity and released his new song, seemingly placing a renewed focus on his music career.
