Peter Gunz finally got his chance to tear down his long-time foe Cisco Rosado last weekend, squaring off against each other in the boxing ring. The two Love & Hip-Hop cast members seemingly couldn’t wait to throw punches against each other, going wild after the fight got out of control with Cisco throwing off his gloves and attempting to start a bare-knuckle fight. While we’ll need to wait to see whether they book a second fight with different rules, Peter Gunz is confident in declaring that he walked away from the night as a winner, booking club appearances as “The Real Winner” of the bout.

Hosting an event in Dallas, Texas this upcoming weekend on Friday, Peter Gunz told the world that despite how it looked on screen, he walked away as the winner of the fight. “Dallas has spoken!! See you Friday,” he wrote on Instagram. The promotional poster he shared declares him the “real” winner of his match against Cisco. “Can finally drink smoke and turn the fuck up,” he added in his caption.

It may feel as though Cisco and Peter Gunz left the arena even bigger enemies than they entered, but on Gunz’ side, it’s nothing but love. After the fight, he shared a picture with Rosado, writing, “And just like that it’s over!! Just want to say thank you to all my friends and family for the overwhelming support I love you all.. Congratulations @cisco_rosado let’s take our first drink together!!”

Who do you think won? Cisco or Peter Gunz? Watch the video of their fight below.

Mariah Carey has been one busy pop star. After departing ways with Jay-Z’s Roc Nation management in favor of working with a smaller team, she’s already got a few new projects she’s working on unleashing. One of those projects is a joint documentary in collaboration with repeated collaborator Busta Rhymes. 

The honest and reflective documentary titled DIVINE: The 18 Year Anniversary Celebration was released via YouTubes, and it provides a closer look at the culmination of their hit track “I Know What You Want.” Originally released back in 2003, the film includes interviews with the likes of film director Chris Robinson, actor Michael Kai White, along with rappers Spliff Star, Rah Digga, Rampage, Baby Sham, and Trippie Redd.

In celebration of the nearly two-decade relationship between the two music legends, the short doc highlights the immense influence the song had on R&B and Hip-Hop culture. Rhymes explained, “We took [the song] up another notch without compromising what the legacy of the original was. That’s important to me — don’t touch the classic if you can’t make it just as dope, if not better.”

The documentary also features how Rhymes gave life to the legacy of the song by creating a second part with Trippie Redd’s “I Got You,” leading into part three “Where I Belong” from his latest project Extinction Level Event 2: The Wrath of God. 

Predicting the impact adding a Mariah verse would make on the song’s success, Rah Digga says in the doc, “…once [Busta] told us that he was considering putting Mariah on the record, I think it just kinda sunk into everybody that ‘oh snap like we boutta have a real *ss mega-hit record on our hands here.'”

“I Know What You Want” went on to be a smash hit for the duo, ranking #17 on the Hot 100 2003 year-end chart and garnering over 500 million streams to date. Check out DIVINE: The 18 Year Anniversary Celebration below.

“The Race” rapper Tay-K was sentenced to fifty-five years in prison for murder a couple of years ago. Rarely getting a chance to communicate with his fans online because of his incarceration, the 21-year-old rapper’s fanbase has continued to support him throughout his legal difficulties. His family has spoken up on multiple occasions to call out the alleged injustice in his case, arguing that the young man should have gotten a lighter sentence. Perhaps addressing some of the chatter surrounding his incarceration, or otherwise celebrating his birthday today with some of the people that love him, Tay-K announced that he will be going live on Wednesday (June 16) to interact with his supporters.

Considering the fact that you’re not supposed to have a cellular device behind bars, some may find it a little surprising that Tay-K would alert fans of his upcoming live stream– especially since he may get in trouble over it. Still, he seems poised to give his supporters the answers they deserve, telling his followers that they can expect a notification when he starts the stream.

“Goin live tomorrow so y’all can ask me questions,” he wrote on Instagram Stories on Tuesday afternoon. 

The rapper is presently an inmate at Bexar County Jail in San Antonio, Texas. He has spoken out on a few different occasions about his case and we can surely expect more from Tay in the coming hours. 

Will you tune in for his live stream?

After partnering on several songs together, Megan Thee Stallion and DaBaby were the collaborators who were known for coming together on hit tracks. They joined forces on “Cash Sh*t,” “Nasty,” “Cry Baby,” and DJ Khaled’s “I Did It,” and it seemed that these two were a solid industry pair. However, fans have been chatting about Megan and DaBaby’s friendship ever since his “SKAT” collaboration with Tory Lanez surfaced, and after the music video dropped, there was further speculation that their “work wife/husband” friendship was severed.

It didn’t take long for those internet sleuths to go poking around in Megan and DaBaby’s Instagram followers, and it showed that the Houston rapper no longer had the North Carolina artist on her list. 

Yet, over on DaBaby’s page he still follows Ms. Stallion, and already the gossip has caused a stir. When it was announced back in January that DaBaby and Lanez had linked on a track, Megan seemingly reacted with crying laughing emojis along with “nice try.” Later she tweeted, “That sh*t was old and not cleared. CRYBABY VIDEO dropping soon.”

Earlier this month, Tory Lanez sat down with Million Dollaz Worth of Game and reflected on his fellow artists turning their backs on him following his arrest related to the shooting incident involving Megan nearly one year ago. “Even the people who came out and said anything about me, a lot of them, after the fact or after the music came out, they called me like ‘I still f*ck with you, just at the time, XYZ,” he said. “But there’s nothing wrong with that.”
