It’s another new home for Offset and Cardi B. Just weeks ago, Offset reportedly purchased a home in the Dominican Republic for his growing family as they have been enjoying their Atlanta mansion. However, the famous couple continues to make real estate moves and this time, Cardi is making her way back to New York.

The Bronx native showed off her home’s stairwell and entrance as she penned a lengthy caption about what it means to be back on home turf. Her famous friends like Yung Miami, Taraji P. Henson, Marsai Martin, Jason Lee, Wack 100, Emily B, Niecy Nash, and more were quick to hop in her comment section with requests for parties, girls nights, and a personal tour of Cardi and Offset’s new crib.

“These days I don’t just live one place, I’m everywhere due to my work,” wrote Cardi. “One thing for sure I needed a home in my home city of NY! I’m soo proud of myself. I work so hard for my children to be comfortable everywhere they are regardless of work. Me and my husband have always dreamed of having a crib in NY, and we have decided to add to our portfolio of homes, along with Atlanta and LA.”

Cardi added that she is excited to have those large, loud, family get-togethers in her new home with all of her loved ones like she has always imagined. “I have accomplished so many things yet I still feel far from all the goals I want to accomplish,” she said. “This is one dream I can cross off…..Let me know if ya’ll want a mini tour!”

Be prepared to see much more of this developing residence in the months to come.

The music world is mourning the loss of a legend today (November 2). The Gap Band is a beloved classic group whose hits remain staples and often, you’ll find their tracks sampled through Rap and Hip Hop productions. It consisted of three brothers: Charlie Wilson, Robert Wilson, and Ronnie Wilson. It has been shared by several outlets that icon Ronnie Wilson has passed away at 73.

According to TMZ, Ronnie was with his wife Linda at their home in Tulsa, Oklahoma when he transitioned.

Linda shared a post on Facebook where she paid tribute to her late husband.

“The love of my life was called home this morning, at 10:01am. Please continue to pray for The Wilson, Boulware, and Collins family, while we mourn his passing,” she wrote. “Ronnie Wilson was a genius with creating, producing, and playing the flugelhorn, Trumpet, keyboards, and singing music, from childhood to his early seventies. He will be truly missed!!!”

TMZ also reported that Ronnie had suffered several strokes over the years, including enduring one just last week. Following that episode, the music legend reportedly slipped into a semi-coma. We send our heartfelt condolences to Ronnie Wilson’s loved ones during this difficult time. Check out Linda Wilson’s post, and revisit a Gap Band classic, below.

There have been news specials, documentaries, and dramatized films about the infamous murder case involving O.J. Simpson. The football icon was living the dream back in the 1990s as America’s favorite sports star when his ex-wife, Nicole Brown-Simpson, and her acquaintance, Ron Goldman, were found brutally murdered at her home.

At the time, this was the trial of the century. Millions of people tuned in to watch the trial in real-time, often taking over packed restaurants and bars to witness the daily developments. People hosted watch parties in their homes, many called out of work—and some workplaces even shut down for certain hours to allow their employees some time to watch the captivating case unfold.

In 1995, it all concluded when a jury agreed with the defense that if the “glove doesn’t fit, you must acquit.” Simpson was found not guilty of those murder charges but for decades, a gray cloud has followed him as he is still viewed as the person responsible. Despite it all, and his If I Did It: Confessions of The Killer book, Simpson has maintained his innocence.

Caitlyn Jenner is all too familiar with this case considering that one of Simpson’s defense attorneys was the late Robert Kardashian, ex-husband Jenner’s ex-wife, Kris Jenner. During Jenner’s visit to Big Brother VIP, she detailed why she believed Simpson was guilty.

“We were there and it was an extraordinarily difficult time,” said Jenner. “Nicole was Kris’s best friend, had been for a long time. I was at Nicole’s house two days before the murder. Obviously, he did it and he got away with it and at one point, he even told Nicole, ‘I’ll kill ya and get away with it because I’m O.J. Simpson.'”

Jenner added that Nicole told Kris what her ex-husband allegedly said. “Even after the not guilty verdict, the first thing, Kris turns around at me and goes, ‘We should have listened to Nicole. She was right, right from the beginning.'” Watch th eclip below.

Mark Zuckerberg and his team have been cracking down on what users can post on Instagram and Meta-Facebook. For those who have been active on either platform, you may have noticed that certain words and phrases are being censored and more users are finding that they land themselves in temporary “jail” where they are denied access.

Moneybagg Yo tweeted about his troubles with the platforms and wrote: “IG & Facebook Removing Yo Post if u say “b*tch” now?! Cmon mane that sh*t in the bible [crying laughing emojis].” His fans had fun with this one, with some teasing him to share the bible verse.

The rapper complied and added that it was 1 Samuel 20:30. “Then Saul anger was kindled against Jonathan and he said to him you son of a perverse rebellious (b*tch) women. Do I not know that you chose the son of Jessie to your own shame and to the shame of you b*tch of a mother nakedness…”

Of course, people quickly broke out “the good book” and shared the correct verse, and while some got a good laugh at the rapper’s take, others did not think that he should be so flippant about the bible. Check it out below.

His comments about Lil Nas X remain a topic of discussion but Boosie Badazz continues to refute claims that he is at fault. The Louisiana rapper has often turned heads with his unfiltered takes, but recently, he welcomed the wrath of the LGBTQIA+ community, along with their allies, after he ranted about his dislike for the Montero hitmaker.

Boosie called Lil Nas X homophobic slurs and told him to take his own life, but he stands on his reactions. Earlier today (November 2), Ts Madison visited The Breakfast Club and spoke about queerphobia in the industry and during the chat, Boosie’s name was brought up in conversation.

“As long as you’re making the effort to move forward because there is transphobia and homophobia that’s really rampant out there. Rampant!” said Madison. “And it’s rampant out there because people’s spaces are being felt like it’s threatened. Like Boosie. Why is you bothered with Lil Nas X? What’s the problem? My thing is, when he said that he’s a detriment like, to kids and we need to worry about all the kids and all that stuff, but I’m like, you the same man that had a *** woman perform fellatio on your young son.”

“You didn’t see anything wrong with that but you—make it make sense to me. I was so confused about the situation. Like who kids really need to be protected?” Boosie was so irate about the mention that he lashed out over on Twitter…and for some reason, he did so under an unrelated post about the film Paid in Full.

“THEY STILL GOT MY NAME N THEY MOUTH BOUT THAT GAY SH*T LOL @cthagod U PART OF THE PROBLEM KEEP EGGING THESE PEOPLE ON YOUR SHOW WITH THIS BRO.U USING YOUR PLATFORM TO SUPPORT NASxn his ANTICS ( I SEE WHAT SIDE U ON [rainbow emoji]) HE SAID F*CK YALL KIDS SMH DUMMIES.”

Trolls quickly jumped in Boosie’s comment section and this doesn’t seem to be the end of this conversation. Check it out below.

It’s not just about making career moves for Cordae, but lifestyle changes. Since he stepped into the music scene with his YBN clique, Cordae’s approach to the industry has been admired by his peers. He has actively sought the counsel of mentors and veterans, he has described himself as a student of the game, and he has remained an unproblematic figure looking to be the next Rap mogul in the making.

We’ve reported on Cordae’s projects, the launching of his label, and the charitable efforts he is involved in. On Tuesday (November 2), he returned with yet another update, and this time, he flexed his health-centered glow up.

Cordae uploaded side by side, before and after photos of himself. It is unclear when each of these pictures was taken, but the rapper explained that he has been on a path of overall personal growth.

“While creating this forthcoming album, I was forced to elevate myself in mind, body, and spirit,” wrote Cordae. “I’ve become more self-reflective and self aware than ever. While my vessel has improved, it’s nothing compared to my mind, spirit and soul which has reached even greater heights. Still growing, still getting better day by day. #FromaBirdsEyeView #HiLevel.”
