If there’s one thing about Lil Durk, you know he’s going to ride for his girl. On Drake’s song “In The Bible,” Smurk spends time promoting his girlfriend India Royale’s cosmetics brand in his lyrics, noting that Drake’s songs always end up getting over a billion streams, so he’s using his feature to elevate her company. Popping up on Nicki Minaj’s Instagram Live on Thursday night, Durkio continued his promotional streak, using Nicki’s platform to hawk India’s cosmetics again, and promising to send a care package in the mail.

Before jumping on the live stream, Lil Durk commented on the page and told Nicki, “Ima gone send you some of India cosmetics [blue heart] ima say it first.” When Nicki invited Durk to join her in the video, he spoke about India’s plans for Valentine’s Day before Nicki complained that the Chicago rapper never sends her any of India’s products. It sounds like Durk and India have been meaning to send some things Nicki’s way, and they’ll make it a priority now that she’s pointed it out. Sometimes, it pays to be blunt.

It’s refreshing to see Durk riding so hard for his girl. With India’s business continuing to boom, Durk is getting all of his friends on board, making sure the hip-hop community is well aware that India is getting all the girls looking right all year round.

Check out Durk and Nicki’s exchange below.

Celebrity breakups generally go one of two ways. 

Either both parties both come out and say that it was mutual and that they wish the best for each other, or, it can get ugly. And in the case of Justine Skye and Giveon, it is getting ugly.

After Skye let off a handful of tweets a couple of nights ago, including, “I really hate the person I let myself become, but I know I want to be better and I cannot wait for that day,” and “People will break you down to the last bone and then ask why you can’t stand on your own,” and “Cheaters gonna cheat, Liars gonna lie, Users gonna use,” the 26-year-old hopped back on Twitter last night with one last message. 

“Trust me, ain’t no turnin back,” Skye tweeted. “Lame ass, broke ass, miss me with that. Period.” 

In what seems to be a final nail in the coffin in her relationship with the Chicago singer, Skye took a couple last digs at Giveon, calling him lame and broke. 

Giveon, who has yet to publicly comment on the obvious turmoil between he and Skye, is coming off a 2021 that saw the “Heartbreak Anniversary” singer land a Grammy nomination for his album Take Time, a smash radio hit with Justin Bieber and Daniel Caesar on “Peaches” and another feature on a Drake record, appearing on Drizzy’s “In The Bible” alongside Lil Durk. 

Whether or not the whirlwind that has been Giveon’s rise to stardom since first appearing on “Chicago Freestyle” in early 2020 is the reason for his and Skye’s breakup has yet to be confirmed, but one thing is clear — Justine Skye is completely done with him.

What do you think of Skye’s final shot at Giveon? Let us know in the comments.

The weather is getting colder every day, which means that cuffing season is quickly approaching. Earlier this week, Ho, why is you here ? rapper Flo Milli took to Twitter to share some relationship advice with her followers.

“Gunna told me if a n*gga ain’t ready to drink my bath water he ain’t for me,” the 21-year-old posted on October 12th.

gunna told me if a nigga ain’t ready to drink my bath water he ain’t for me😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Depending which side of Twitter you’re on, you may have already heard people joke about “drinking bath water” to express their thirst for someone. From the sounds of things, Gunna is telling Flo Milli that she needs a man who would be dedicated and obsessed enough to guzzle back a glass of hers.

Obviously drinking bath water isn’t for most people, but a few brave souls took this opportunity to let the Alabama native know that they would gladly consume hers with some funny memes in the replies.

“Can I at least run it through my Brita,” one viewer joked.

Another responded with a screenshot of a Google search that reads, “where can I get a pint of Flo Milli’s bath water?”

The “Not Friendly” rapper may be unlucky in love for now, but she’s certainly been earning herself plenty of attention as of late, especially after she arrived at New York Fashion Week in a bold but sheer number, leaving little to the imagination.

Ever since it was first announced. last month, Mac Miller fans have been losing their minds over the forthcoming re-release of the late Pittsburgh rapper‘s 2014 cult-classic mixtape Faces. Now, the day has finally arrived, and in addition to Faces hitting streaming services, fans have also been treated to two brand new Mac Miller songs, a Faces bonus track titled “Yeah” and a shocking Young Thug collaboration from the YSL artist’s sophomore album Punk.

Long story short, Mac Miller fans are feeling extremely blissful on this New Music Friday.

Many fans are simply satisfied with the fact that Faces is finally available on all DSPs, with some calling it a “legendary” move by Mac’s estate. Several other fans are excited about the two newly released Mac Miller tracks as well, and so far, both “Yeah” and “Day Before” have been met with positive reception on social media.

Check out some Twitter reactions to the re-release of Mac Miller’s 2014 mixtape Faces, from fans to close collaborators to Donna-Claire Chesman, the author of The Book Of Mac.

If you haven’t already tuned given Faces a fresh listen, check out its bonus track “Yeah” here and the full project here. Rest in peace, Mac Miller.

The court battle between Lil Wayne and his former attorney Ronald Sweeney has been a messy one, with both parties suing each other for $20M.

Sweeney, who served as Weezy’s manager after Cortez Bryant was fired in 2018, alleges that the Tha Carter rapper stiffed him on commissions. He also alleges that he was unpaid for the services he provided during Wayne’s highly-publicized legal battle with Cash Money Records. 

Sweeney’s suit alleged that Wayne “failed and refused to pay Plaintiffs his promised 10% of the recovery from lawsuits, 10% of the sale of master recordings owned by Lil Wayne’s record label and then 17% in general commissions that he owes to Plaintiffs in connection with Plaintiff’s day to day management activities.”

Weezy’s team says none of that is true and that the New Orleans native hired other attorneys to handle his dispute with Baby and Cash Money. And in his countersuit against Sweeney, Wayne alleges that his former lawyer overcharged him for legal services. 

Despite Wayne’s countersuit still hanging in limbo, it has been reported that Sweeney’s case against him is no longer valid. 

According to Radar Online “a judge has granted a motion to dismiss a $20 million lawsuit against Lil Wayne. The judge determined the suit was incorrectly filed in California when the case should’ve been litigated in Florida, where Weezy lives and works.”

That’s a huge win for Lil Wayne.

Although the case was thrown out on more of a technicality than anything, not having to pay $20M is not having to pay $20M. And just a couple weeks after Wayne skipped out on the deposition for this case, this is the best case scenario for Weezy F. Baby. 

What do you think of Weezy’s former lawyer getting his case thrown out? Let us know in the comments.

The Netflix original series, Squid Game has quickly risen to a level of global success that no one quite anticipated. The 9-episode show has been receiving love from countries all over the world, although one location in particular has been publicizing a lot of hate for the show.

According to TMZ, a North Korean propaganda website called Arirang Meari has provided the country’s residents with a review of the Hwang Dong-hyuk directed show.

The site says that Squid Game “gained popularity because it exposes the reality of South Korean capitalist culture,” and that it exposes “a world where only money matters — a hell-like horror.”

Arirang Meari reportedly sees a capitalist society as one where “corruption and immoral scoundrels are commonplace.”

During Squid Game, viewers are introduced to 456 players, all of whom are desperate for money to pay off their debts so that they might be able to escape the loan sharks that they’re seemingly always running from.

The players partake in a series of children’s games (sounds easy, but many of them end in a very bloody mess), and those still standing at the end will split a prize pool worth $38 million.

The show can be compared to the Bong Joon-ho directed film, Parasite, seeing as both address the mass wealth gap that exists, and how people are so often willing to go to desperate measures just to ensure they’re scraping by financially.

“It is said that it makes people realize the sad reality of the beastly South Korean society in which human beings are driven into extreme competition and their humanity is being wiped out,” the propaganda site reads. 

According to TMZ, North Korean citizens can receive hefty fines, or even jail time, if they’re caught watching South Korean media. 

One country may be expressing their disdain for Squid Game, but the rest of the world appears to be hooked and eagerly waiting for news of a second season.

Do you agree with North Korea’s sentiments, or are you a fan of the Netflix original series?
