A few days ago, Saweetie and Quavo mutually unfollowed each other on social media, prompting fans to believe the rap couple had split up. This wasn’t confirmed until yesterday (March 19) when Saweetie took to Twitter to suggest Quavo’s infidelity was the reason behind their break up. Quavo himself chimed in on his social media with a few words of his own, and it looks like his family is right behind him to defend him. The Migos’ rapper’s sister Shara took to social media to defend her brother from the “bash fest” happening following his split from the “Best Friend rapper.”

“I have been quiet long enough…I see how this turning to a bash fest towards my brother and that ain’t about to happen at all none of y’all know how Saweetie is in real life but I do know and it ain’t good at all..”  penned Shara on her Instagram story yesterday. Catching wind of the message, Saweetie’s aunt Whitty jumped in to defend her niece. 

“Now now! Do we need Whitty to start airing this MF out??? I’m not gone be half as nice as ol Shara,” fired Whitty. “What she not gone do is speak ill of my niece, I get very disrespectful about mine. Since we sticking our nose in other people business. first they love you then they hate you.” 

She continued in another tweet, “Talkin bout she been quiet long enough. Girl it ain’t even been 24 hours. GTFOH.” 

Shara clapped back at Whitty once again, this time making some very ill-mannered remarks about Saweetie. “Who is Whitty b*tch I don’t know sh*t bout you and you don’t know sh*t bout me but I do know yo niece is a self centered b*tch who [no] body likes!” wrote Whittty. 

She continued to fire, “You wanna air this b*tch out run it h*e this ain’t what you want! Trust Me! Only reason I was nice to any of y’all h*es is because of Qua.”

It seems like Quavo and Saweetie’s breakup has become a family affair. We’ll keep you updated as the situation evolves. 

While things in hip-hop do get dramatic, the world of battle rap can get a bit dangerous. We’ve all seen how things get when tensions rise, and just how far some of these battle rappers are willing to go. Last night, Rare Breed Ent. debuted a face-off between Cassidy and Hitman Holla ahead of their battle on April 3rd but things didn’t necessarily go as planned. In fact, things ended on a tense note after both Cass and Hitman Holla appeared ready to throw hands.

The two MCs debated their credibility and stance in the battle rap arena which led to both parties throwing shots at each other. That was to be expected but the energy in the room shifted entirely after Cassidy deemed Hitman “replaceable” on the April 3rd line-up. Cass has the bragging rights of an artist who has managed to return to the battle rap arena successfully while Hitman Holla’s track record includes wins against some of the biggest names in battle rap. 

Eventually, the two rappers debated who had more successful careers. Cassidy swiftly reminded Hitman Holla that he was once his hypeman on Wild N Out. “Your views isn’t going to be your hypeman like you was my hypeman on Wild N’ Out.”

As the intensity grew, the two nearly came to blows as Hitman suggested that he would knock out Cassidy. Eventually, Hitman Holla suggested that he would “air out” the spot which prompted a hilarious breakdown of the situation from Cassidy.

“You runnin’ to act like you ’bout to get a bag. What are you doin’? First of all, you bluffin’, my n***a. Like, if you was there by yourself and your gat was in that bag — let’s be serious. Everybody actin’ like they can’t talk. You was acting like you was gonna grab the bag like you had a strap in it. So if you was there by yourself and you sayin’ I had 20 n***as with me, then I would’ve been wearing my bag,” Cass said.

Check out some of the best reactions below. 

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt divorced in 2016 after being one of Hollywood’s most recognizable couples, earning the nickname “Brangelina.” It wasn’t until a year later in 2017 when Jolie opened up about the split, eventually opening up about some domestic abuse claims she allegedly faced at the hands of her ex. Their divorce saga has just come to another shocking turn, this time with the actress now claiming to have “proof and authority in support” of the alleged violence. She’s even ready to provide that evidence during their upcoming divorce proceedings.

According to legal documents obtained by Us Weekly, a filing submitted on March 12th states that Jolie is willing to testify about the alleged abuse along with testimony provided by herself and her 6 children: Maddox, 19; Pax, 17; Zahara, 16; Shiloh, 14; and twins Knox and Vivienne, 12. The documents themselves do not detail the alleged abuse, but a source close to Pitt has dismissed the claims as nothing more than another attempt to kick the Oscar winner while he’s already down. 

“Over the past four and a half years there have been a number of claims made by Angelina that have been reviewed and not substantiated,” the insider told Us. “The children have been used by Angelina to hurt Brad before and this is more of that behavior. This leaking of documents by her fourth or fifth set of lawyers has been done to hurt Brad.”

Shortly after their 2016 split, the FBI Department of Child and Family Services began investigating the actor regarding the child abuse claims made by Jolie. The agency eventually cleared the actor of all charges, and he spoke about the experience during his 2017 GQ cover story.

“I was really on my back and chained to a system when Child Services was called. And you know, after that, we’ve been able to work together to sort this out,” he said. “We’re both doing our best. I heard one lawyer say, ‘No one wins in court—it’s just a matter of who gets hurt worse.'”

He continued, “And it seems to be true, you spend a year just focused on building a case to prove your point and why you’re right and why they’re wrong, and it’s just an investment in vitriolic hatred. I just refuse. And fortunately my partner in this agrees. It’s just very, very jarring for the kids, to suddenly have their family ripped apart.”

Pitt is reportedly looking for 50/50 custody of the children.
