His career is maintaining an all-time high and it looks as if his relationship with JT is solid, but Lil Uzi Vert has expressed he isn’t doing well at the moment. The rapper and his City Girls girlfriend have finally gone public with their romance after what seemed like over a year of rumors, and they’ve enjoyed being out in the open about their relationship. However, both Uzi and JT have faced backlash and criticism from the public as they endure harassment from trolls and online bullies.

After showing off their matching tattoos, Uzi and JT have taken a step back from giving fans too much of an inside look into their personal lives. Uzi resurfaced on Twitter earlier today with a few messages that disturbed the public and now people are pleading with the rapper to get help.

“So I’m literally getting broke down into pieces,” he tweeted. He sent and deleted another tweet that read, “I’m ready to die [bed emoji].” Then, Uzi added, “Song titles I’m back on my f*ck it sh*t” and “And honestly I just been working to hard that I felt like that so I named 2 songs after my emotions.”

It seems that Uzi was just expressing himself and dropping new titles, but people were still concerned. Check out the tweets below.

If fans thought that Summer Walker was distant and standoffish already, they haven’t seen anything yet. Over the years, Summer Walker has received criticism from the public due to her behavior when interacting with fans at her shows or meet-and-greets. The chart-topping singer later revealed that she has social anxiety and some interactions make her uncomfortable, so she’s adjusted to fit into her active music career. Summer has often shared her life with her fanbase, but she has made it clear—more than once—that once her daughter was born, she wouldn’t be sharing photos of her baby girl.

Although Summer has kept her word, she has uploaded images with her little girl’s face covered by emojis. Still, that didn’t keep critics from storming the internet with comments about the newborn’s weight, and after people threatened to call Child Protective Services on the singer, Summer Walker revealed she’s cutting off contact with the public.

First, she shared dozens of sideways laughing emojis with the message, “Watch this.” She added, “Diva mode activated,” before quoting a Rap lyric. “Keep a couple wet wipes in case a bum try to touch me, ew – Nicki Minaj.” If people didn’t get the full scope of Summer’s anger, she wrote, “Pictures, hugs, casual chats, autographs Deadianna.” 

Fans commented that it would be difficult for Walker to maintain a successful career without fan interaction, but the singer seems unmoved. Check out Summer Walker’s posts below.

He didn’t have a lengthy Hollywood career but Kevin Clark was still an icon for a generation of School of Rock lovers. The 2003 film starring Jack Black centered around a teacher who hilariously builds the confidences of a team of misfit children and forms them into a real rock band. Kevin Clark portrayed the drummer, Freddy Jones nicknamed Spazzy McGee, and according to TMZ, he later said he got the role because he could actually play the drums.

Although School of Rock was his only movie role, Clark was a beloved musician who was known to play gigs in the Chicago area. On Wednesday (May 26), tragic news surfaced stating that Clark had passed away following a bike accident. He was 32.

According to reports, Clark’s sister shared that he was riding his bicycle in Chicago on his way home when a 20-year-old driving a Hyundai Sonata hit him. Clark was immediately rushed to the hospital but sadly died from his injuries. TMZ stated that the woman who struck Clark wasn’t arrested at the scene, however, officers issued her citations. People have flooded social media with tributes, including Jack Black who grieved in a solemn post to the fallen musician.

“Devastating news. Kevin is gone. Way too soon. Beautiful soul.,” Black wrote. “So many great memories. Heartbroken. Sending love to his family and the whole School of Rock community.” We send our sincerest condolences to Kevin Clark’s loved ones. Read through a few tributes below.

Weeks ago, Nicki Minaj surprised fans by re-releasing her 2009 mixtape Beam Me Up Scotty with a few extra tracks. On “Seeing Green,” we found Minaj reuniting with Lil Wayne and Drake, and quickly, the song, as well as the mixtape, became a favorite worldwide. Hours ago, Nicki jumped back on Instagram to share her latest record-breaking accomplishment, this time celebrating Beam Me Up Scotty officially becoming the highest-charting re-release mixtape from a rapper in Hip Hop history.

Nicki penned a lengthy caption detailing why this means so much to her in today’s music climate, especially in the Rap industry. “I love you guys so much,” Nicki began. “Thank you. Can’t wait to share my album with you real soon. [red heart emojis].”

“I have to say this. Don’t care who takes it the wrong way. [pink bow emoji] #BeamMeUpScotty no singles #SeeingGreen is over 5 mins with no hook. Singles now r 2-3 mins, catchy hook, #Fractions is just rapping for over 3 mins, no hook). [star emoji].”

“No videos (which is always the biggest push for females, myself included), [star emoji] no RADIO, [star emoji] very little play listing due to a surprise release (artists get over 100 playlists for big launches) [star emoji] no TikTok challenges (which has become EXTREMELY helpful to all artists, love the app, btw [unicorn emoji].”

“THIS MAKES IT MEAN MORE TO ME cuz it rlly just boils down to having the best FANS ON EARTH that rode with me 12 YEARS LATER [red ballon emoji].” Congrats to Nicki Minaj for this major accomplishment. Beam Me Up Scotty also moved 80K its first week (re-release). Read through her caption in full below.

Popstar Ariana Grande has officially tied the knot. News of the event was first reported last week to TMZ, and later confirmed by her reps. The reps stated it was a small ceremony with less than 20 people present. 

On Wednesday morning, her anxious fans finally got to see what the wedding looked like, when Ariana posted 12 photos in 3 consecutive posts from the commemoration. Her “Arianators” lit up with joy for their idol, quickly making her trend on Twitter.Grande and her now-husband, real estate agent Dalton Gomez, announced their engagement back in December 2020, and have succeeded to keep the majority of their relationship private, so it’s no surprise their wedding flew under the radar as well. Grande and Gomez are seen showing their love for each other in the new photos, by way of passionate kisses, surrounded by beautiful flowers hanging from the ceiling and an outdoor patio, as the wedding venue was actually Grande’s Montecito home.

The bride was wearing her iconic high ponytail, but with a twist of curls at the end and her wedding veil at the top. The posts include comments from people like Khloe Kardashian, former Victorious castmate Victoria Justice and her doppleganger YouTuber Gabi Demartino, all sharing their happiness for her as well as good wishes for the couple.

Grande’s last post is short and sweet, just like the glimpse we get into the couple’s relationship: a blurry photo of another loving kiss with the caption “5.15.21,” the day the couple married. Grande walked down the aisle holding hands with her mother, beside her father, in a Vera Wang dress, who she first collaborated with back in 2018 for the Met Gala.

May the bride and the groom have a happy, loving marriage, and may the rest of the world blast “Thank you, Next” as Grande will no longer be saying those words. Now that the couple are married, fans will be patiently waiting for the next, hopefully music-related, announcement from the singer. Maybe she’ll accept Moneybagg Yo’s invitation to collab.
