OJ Simpson Weighs In On Deshaun Watson Situation

by

OJ Simpson has been through a lot over the course of his life, especially when it comes to legal battles. In the 90s, Simpson famously went on trial for the alleged murder of his wife, and in the end, he was found not guilty. Eventually, Simpson went to jail for another offense but since getting out of prison, he has taken to Twitter where he gives his hot takes on all things football.

Recently, Simpson made a video about Sam Darnold joining the Panthers. In that same clip, he also spoke about Deshaun Watson, who is being sued by 22 women for alleged sexual assault. Simpson weighed in on the ordeal saying that he is a big fan of the quarterback and that he hopes things work out for him. The former NFL player also believes there are parallels between him and Watson.

“Now, I’m a big fan of Deshaun’s — the man always had a sterling reputation and I’m a guy that knows what accusations can do your reputation,” Simpson said. “I would hate not to see him play again and I know we got to let the system work itself out, but my prayers are with him.”

Getting an endorsement from OJ isn’t exactly the best thing in the world although these days, Watson has very few people still on his side. As the months go on, the full scope of his legal battles will develop and we will be sure to bring you all of the latest updates.

Mo3 & Boosie Badazz Trade Bars On “By The River”

by

Though Mo3 is no longer with us, his memory lives on through a new posthumous album Shottaz 4Eva. With guest appearances from Kevin Gates, YFN Lucci, and Boosie Badazz, the project features several highlight cuts displaying the late rapper’s versatility. One such track is “By The River,” a duet with his longtime collaborator Boosie Badazz, with whom he had a close friendship. Evidently, that friendship effectively translated into chemistry on wax, as this one is easily one of the album’s early highlights.

Over an up-tempo instrumental laced by Keise On Da Track, Mo3 sets it off with an animated opening verse. “Landlord in my apartment knockin’ at the door, got an eviction, I’m like fuck, I need to hit a lick,” he spits. “Catch a ni*ga lackin’, put a jackin’ on him / Stick the gun through the window just a lil bit.” Boosie steps up to match his stride, kicking a quick flow as he spits some violent bars. “He ain’t make it back home, he ain’t make it home, he felt it was comin’, guess he was ready,” raps Badazz. “He took a deep breath, said him a prayer / And threw up his fours at the paramedics.”

Check out “By The River” now, and if you like what you hear, show some love to the late Mo3 by streaming his brand new posthumous album. 

QUOTABLE LYRICS

Traumatized by the block, I gotta think a lot 
Thug stimulate your mind, I’m on some ventin’ shit 
Dope fiends beggin’ for a dollar from me 
But all I got is fifty cents for a cigarette 
Landlord in my apartment knockin’ at the door 
Got an eviction, I’m like fuck, I need to hit a lick

50 Cent Clowns Young Buck & Exposes One Of His Alleged “Boyfriends”

by

Young Buck has taken the last few weeks to try and convince his fanbase that the multi-year feud he’s had with 50 Cent was entirely staged. According to the Tennessee rapper, the beef was orchestrated by Fiddy in an attempt to revive Buck’s career. During a live stream, Buck said that the intention was to tear him down in order to build him back up. He stated that 50 would soon be confirming that the feud was fake. However, weeks later and Curtis Jackson is still sharing homophobic and transphobic jokes about Buck’s rumored sexual identity.

Inundated with rumors about his sexual identity, Young Buck has fought back against haters claiming that he has a preference for trans women. Recently, rapper Cub Da CookUpBoss shared a 30-minute video addressing the situation with Buck, in which he calls out the former G-Unit member, exposing one of his alleged “boyfriends”: a trans woman named Jazmine. Of course, 50 Cent had something to say about the video.

“It is what it is Bro,” wrote Fif on a video of the CookUpBoss calling out Buck. In the comments, people are urging 50 to simply stop antagonizing his former friend, asking him to let it go. He has also been embroiled in a feud with Snowfall actor De’Aundre Bonds, promising to blackball him from any future television projects he takes on.

Jorja Smith Goes Back & Forth With Sonder On The Toxic Single “Nobody But You”

by

With every song that he has dropped over the past couple of years, Brent Faiyaz has given Hip-Hop and R&B fans reason after reason for why they should be tapped in with his artistry, and his latest release is no different. Today, the artist has linked back with his critically acclaimed collective Sonder to give fans the group’s first single since 2019’s “What You Heard.”

Sonder’s new record, “Nobody But You,” features UK songstress Jorja Smith, and together, the artists have created a sentimental, yet toxic, ballad that will have fans clamoring for more.

The minimal acoustic soundscape is perfect for Sonder and Jorja’s collaboration, as it keeps the attention on Jorja’s angelic vocals and Brent’s signature heartfelt, yet simultaneously disrespectful, songwriting. “Nobody But You” finds artists trying to make amends to a broken relationship while dealing with the trauma and mistrust that ruined it in the first place, and Jorda and Brent absolutely nail that concept.

Check out the lyric video for Sonder and Jorja Smith’s new single “Nobody But You” below. 

Quotable Lyrics

And I know you prolly thinkin’ I ain’t worth sh*t
But I’d never want anyone to bring you any harm
And I’d take it all back just have you in my arms
And I know for a fact who we were ain’t who we are
We are

Xzibit’s L.A. Warehouse Burglarized

by

Xzibit is a legend in the game, boasting a respected discography and a keen mind for entrepreneurship. And while X has been recently growing his NAPALM cannabis business, named after his seventh studio album from 2012, it would appear that the rapper was recently hit with an unfortunate setback. 

Today, Xzibit shared a video revealing that his Los Angeles warehouse, which presumably houses his NAPALM product, was robbed in the night. In the clip, X examines security footage from the break-in. “What you’re looking at is, someone broke into my warehouse last night,” he says. “They couldn’t do it with the media shit, so they come and do it to my place of business. Guys, I’m being targeted. This shit is crazy. They come into my warehouse, kick my doors in.” He proceeds to pan the camera, surveying the damaged doors. “Look at this. 4 in the morning.”

“This an inside job,” he states. “This is not random.” Yet even amidst a setback, Xzibit has never been one to back down. “Fuck ya’ll, we still rolling.” In the accompanying caption, X offers a ten-thousand-dollar reward to anybody with information on the criminals involved. “They will try everything to bring me down. This is just out of fucking control…I will find you.”

Upon sharing the video, Xzibit received support from many of his peers in the hip-hop community. Frequent collaborator Snoop Dogg echoed the notion of an inside job — “Clean house homie,” he advises. “Despicable,” wrote Sway Calloway. “You are going to rise again King.” “MuthaPhuquz!!!!” added Dem Jointz, who previously laced beats for Xzibit’s Serial Killers project. “Yes King inside Cut all Street ties,” wrotes Big Gipp, while Detroit icon Trick Tick kept his own assessment simple and scathing: “Pussies.”

Check out Xzibit’s video below. It should be noted that HipHopDX reported on a since-deleted post in which Xzibit discovered blood on one of the warehouse doors. “Guess what you dumb fucks?” he says, upon seeing the blood. “You fucking idiots. One of you assholes was bleeding last night. Yeah. Somebody left some muthafuckin’ blood here. Guess what else you fucking dickwads? Sloppy fucks. You left tools you stupid fucks.”

At this time, no news on any arrests has been made. We’d like to extend some positive vibes to Xzibit during this difficult time — keep your head up X!

Ashanti Shuts Down Flo Rida Dating Rumors: “We’re Family”

by

Flo Rida and Ashanti have always been at the center of romantic rumors due to being friends for so long, but they recently ignited some fresh dating rumors when Flo Rida posted photos of him and the “Foolish” singer on vacation together in Antigua. Fans have speculated about their relationship for years, but things seemed more intense as Flo Rida commented celebratory and fire emojis on some recent pics Ashanti posted of her body, thus fueling fans’ speculation even further.

When TheShadeRoom reported on the possible romance, however, Ashanti quickly shut it down in an Instagram comment. “Aht aht Flo is my brother,” the 40-year-old singer wrote. “We’re family! Celebrating my sis @liltuneshi bday!!! Happy Birthday Bink!” The comment seems like a pretty clear shutdown, and fans appreciated Ashanti’s clarity on the situation. “@ashanti oh okay cuz can’t just anybody be with you. #purrrrr,” one commenter replied. “@ashanti said not today gone with yall bs,” said another. 

In October of last year, Flo Rida came under fire for allegedly refusing to meet his 4-year-old son, calling him “evil.” His baby mama Alexis Adams also accused him of manipulating his financial information in order to avoid helping with his sick child’s medical bills, so maybe that’s why Ashanti needs the world to know that the two are definitely not an item. 

Check out the vacation post and Ashanti’s comment in response, below.
