For most people, if they’re unable to attend their child’s birthday, they’ll call, FaceTime, Zoom—do whatever it takes to make their presence felt. In Diddy’s case, he decided to up the ante and, according to TMZ, attended his son Christian Combs’s birthday party as a hologram. King Combs turned 23-years-old yesterday (April 1) and unfortunately, Diddy had some business in Florida that kept him from celebrating with family and friends in Los Angeles. The Bad Boy mogul gave Christian the next best thing and called up PORTL to have the company broadcast Diddy live at the event as a hologram.

In a clip shared by TMZ, Diddy is seen singing Happy Birthday to his son as people in the crowd look on. Combs was presented life-sized as a 4K interactive hologram and he wasn’t the only one; daughters D’Lila, Jessie, and Chance also appeared to send well wishes to their big brother.

Guests at Christian’s birthday bash included Swae Lee, Chris Brown, Winnie Harlow, and Young Thug. PORTL reportedly gave Diddy the opportunity to “see and hear the crowd,” as well, and the company “dubs itself as the world’s first and only single passenger holoportation machine.” The cost is sad to ring in at around $60K.

Offset has had his fair share of run-ins with the law. He was arrested in 2013 for a probation violation and two years later, he was taken into custody at a Migos concert. He spent eight months in jail for the later offense, and for allegedly inciting an altercation in jail, but according to David Banner, Offset wanted to make changes in his life. While chatting with The 85 South Comedy Show, Banner revealed that Offset once approached him and asked for guidance.

“I’ll never forget this, he may not want me to say this,” Banner began. “When Offset had—this is one of the greatest things that happened to me. Offset had just got out right when the Migos had blew up. He was walking through Midtown and he was like, ‘Wassup OG?’ And he pulled me over to the side. He was like, ‘Man, I wanna do better, bro, but I don’t know how.’ And bro, for a young man that didn’t need nobody, they were poppin’ so—he might not even remember that. That meant the world to me.”

“He trusted me enough to say, ‘Bro, I need help.’ You know in the streets, especially where the f*ck we from, that’s the reason why motherf*ckers so mean. Motherf*ckers really be wanting to say, ‘I need help.'” Watch the full episode of The 85 South Comedy Show below.

Last night was intense for the City Girls. An Instagram Live between Yung Miami and Lil Uzi Vert caused a ruckus after viewers believed that Uzi was being disrespectful to the Quality Control Music rapper. JT was with Uzi and told him that he was too “turnt up,” but he shut her down and continued. Later, Southside issued a few threats to Uzi, telling him not to speak to Yung Miami again, and soon, the Eternal Atake artist was a trending topic on multiple social media platforms.

JT has continued to defend her boyfriend and she took to Instagram Live to say that the moment between Uzi and Miami was all in good fun. “That was an inside joke. He was literally talking in code and after that said he love her and some mo’ sh*t,” said JT. “When did he call her a b*tch? Y’all p*ssies on the internet.  A lot of y’all p*ssies on the internet and painting pictures that why I told him he was too turned up. He always turnt up.”

“Talkin’ ’bout I had to defend my friend,” she continued. “Caresha’s mouth slick as sh*t. My mouth slick as sh*t. That girl ain’t gonna sit there and let nobody—she could have easily end the Live if she felt disrespected. That girl knew we was playing. We was just on FaceTime before we got on Live. Get the f*ck out of here.”

“Y’all wanna make it so bad,” JT added before mocking some of the comments she’s received. People have told her that she should have spoken up in defense of Yung Miami because she “held the group down” while JT was in jail. ” Let it go. F*ck outta here. Y’all be tryin’ to run with these narratives. Get gone.”

She had a few more words for people who continue to stir the pot. Check it out below.

He recently issued another formal apology to Janet Jackson following the release of Hulu’s Britney Spears documentary, but things look to still be rocky between Justin Timberlake and soft-spoken singer. Timberlake caught backlash after the documentary suggested that he let the media antagonize Spears after their breakup, leaving many to draw comparisons to his response after his infamous Super Bowl moment with Jackson back in 2004. Although he was the one who ripped off a portion of Jackson’s top, exposing her breast, people blamed Jackson and she was forced by CBS to issue an apology.

For nearly two decades, Jackson’s “wardrobe malfunction” has remained a topic of conversation during every Super Bowl season but this year, fans weren’t letting Timberlake off the hook. His apology came and went last month, but his manager, Johnny Wright, brought up his tension with Jackson on one of her recent Instagram posts. Consequently, Wright reportedly formerly represented Jackson.

“Always choose to heal, not hurt. To forgive, not to despise. To persevere, not to quit. To smile, not to frown. And to love, not to hate,” the post reads. Wright reportedly slid in the comments and added, “You should take this advice and to apply it to your relationship with Justin.” According to Page Six, Timberlake wasn’t aware that his manager planned on leaving that comment. Fans have accused wright of gaslighting Jackson.

There has been quite a bit of talk on social media regarding who Mulatto is in a relationship with. The Georgia rapper has recently opened up about her new romance, saying that she’s happy and wanting to make sure the public doesn’t tear down what she and her significant other have built. There have been suggestions that Mulatto could be with Key Glock, 21 Savage, or BRS Kash, but she remains silent about her mystery man. However, fuel was added to the gossip fire recently after 21 Savage shared an image of the makeup-less Queen of Da Souf artist along with the caption, “Dam u fine, it’s only 1 way I can come bout you twin.”

He quickly deleted the image from his Instagram, but it was too late and the post circulated online. Savage has previously denied that he and Mulatto are together, but fans are now thinking otherwise. Meanwhile, Key Glock was finally asked about the rumors that he and Mulatto sparked up a romance—gossip that she claimed wasn’t true.
