Prior to Young Dolph’s passing, Soulja Boy was antagonizing the Memphis legend on social media, responding to a claim made by the rapper about making over $100,000 per concert as an independent artist. Soulja called Dolph’s claims “cap” and proceeded to insult the rapper a few more times. 

As the hip-hop community mourns the loss of one of the greatest of his generation, one of the artists signed to Dolph’s label Paper Route Empire, Snupe Bandz, is sharing his alleged direct messages with Soulja Boy on Instagram.

“Clout chasing bitch,” wrote Snupe to Soulja Boy, which prompted a reply from Big Draco.

“Sorry to hear bout yo big homie,” responded Soulja. “Cut all dis shit out. It’s uncalled for. This my last time saying it. Like I said I Fuk wit y’all Boys idk where all dis lame Shit come from. Y’all n***az couldn’t take a fucking bruh. Who gives a damn if y’all signed to empire wtf.”

He went on to say that he had quit trolling Dolph before the rapper passed away, and believes that his crew has placed him in an awkward position now.

“I’m done trolling wit y’all N***az I was done before that Shit even happen,” added Soulja. “But if y’all keep coming for Me we not standing down. I’m sorry to hear bout da shit I truly am. But y’all needa chill fr. Y’all put me in a weird ass position. And y’all gotta stand on that. U think I don’t wanna say rip dolph but how can when y’all N***az keep threatening me.

Big Sean and Hit-Boy have a strong working relationship. 

After dropping their collaboration, “What A Life” and its bee-covered music video, Sean and Hit-Boy announced that a joint tape called What You Expect was on the way.

What You Expect turned out to be a five-song, hard-hitting EP celebrating the pair’s accomplishments, and painting a picture of what their collaborative future might look like. 

Sean, who came under fire from Kanye West during West’s Drink Champs interview (Ye said signing Big Sean was the worst thing he ever did), recently announced that he had left G.O.O.D. Music and seemingly used his EP with Hit-Boy as a landmark of his departure. Last week, on an episode of Million Dollaz Worth of Game, Sean said that Kanye can be hard to work with, and Hit-Boy added that the Donda rapper would make him re-do drums for a beat upwards of ten times, just to leave those same drums on the cutting room floor.

So while Sean and Hit-Boy have collectively expressed their displeasure with Ye, they have clearly grown closer together, and in a rousing performance of “What A Life” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the pair put their artistic chemistry on full display. 

Rocking velvet suits and a whole lot of diamonds, Sean and Hit-Boy start out in the corner booth of a fine dining establishment, and end up center stage in front of Fallon’s studio audience.

Earlier today, Vice President Kamala Harris made history as the first woman to hold POTUS power in the history of the United States. The 57-year-old was not sworn in as President, but Joe Biden temporarily transferred decision making ability in his place while he was under anesthesia for a colonoscopy.

As TMZ notes, Harris was only wearing her presidential pants for 30-40 minutes, but it was still a big moment for America. For those who were wondering what the Oakland native did with her power, it appears not much – the gossip site reports that she was not out and about this morning.

Yesterday, however, was a busy day for the VP and Biden as they met with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexican President Lopez Obrador at the White House. Prior to his appointment this morning, the 78-year-old was spotted waving at reporters as he exited his car and entered Walter Reed Medical Center.

POTUS has made headlines several times this month, first at the COP26 meetings where he appeared to doze off in his chair, causing Donald Trump to promptly put him on blast. The second time was when Biden referred to baseball legend Satchel Paige as “the great negro” during a Veteran’s Day address at Arlington National Cemetery.

“I’ve adopted the attitude of the great negro at the time, pitcher of the Negro leagues, who went on to become a great pitcher in the pros — in Major League Baseball — after Jackie Robinson. His name was Satchel Paige,” the Pennsylvania native told the crowd.

Back in June, Floyd Mayweather and Logan Paul fought each other in what proved to be an absolute sham of a fight. Paul didn’t seem to be in particularly great shape while Mayweather wasn’t even trying. For eight rounds, these two danced around without ever really doing any damage. It was a pretty sad state of affairs that had boxing fans demanding refunds and their time back.

Many have stated that the entire match was fixed and was simply a spectacle for a quick buck. Recently, Mayweather was at a convention for WBC, and he pretty well confirmed what the fans had been saying all this time. Simply, Mayweather claimed that if the fight had been a real one, he would have knocked Logan out in the first round.

“People have gotta know, there’s a difference between a real fight and an exhibition,” Mayweather said. “I did an exhibition with the YouTuber Logan Paul. We had fun. All I did was work out from time to time. If it was a real fight, it would’ve been a blowout in the first round.”

Most boxing fans know this already, however, it is good to see Mayweather confirming it. After all, Floyd did admit that he is a master of legalized bank robbing, which should be all the proof you need that he was more than okay with the check.

The violence has to stop.

Just day one day following the murder of Young Dolph, there was a drive-by shooting next door to the late rapper’s memorial site at Makeda’s Homemade Cookies. As previously reported, one man was shot in the leg during the attack, and he is expected to make a full recovery. Still, the shooting must be troubling for the residents of Memphis because memorials shouldn’t be dangerous places for people to gather at.

At the time of the shooting, Memphis police were already on the scene, and they were able to immediately pursue the Nissan that had just fired a shot into the crowd of people at Dolph’s memorial. After crashing the vehicle on Kerr Ave and Mississippi Blvd and tossing their handguns, the suspects were quickly apprehended by the officers.

Police have now identified the three men arrested and charged in connection to the shooting. According to Memphis’ WREG, the detained suspects include 23-year-old Terrance Jones, 19-year-old Jailon Nelvis, and 22-year-old Tavis McQueen, and they have all reportedly been charged with aggravated assault, evading arrest, three counts of possession of prohibited weapon, two counts of reckless endangerment, two counts of theft of property, and six counts of unlawful possession of a weapon.

At this time, local police attest that there is no evidence that suggests that the Jones, Nelvis, and McQueen investigation is connected to Young Dolph’s murder, and the three young men are currently scheduled to appear in court on Monday, November 22.

Stay tuned for more updates.
