Record producer Cisco Rosado and rapper Peter Gunz have had their fair share of beef during their time on VH1’s Love & Hip Hop. In an attempt to settle it, the pair jumped into the ring Friday night to box it out, officiated by another cast member Rich Dollaz. The fight got pretty heated, and at one point it seemed that even the ref was getting punched in the midst of their fight. Things officially escalated when Rosado ripped his gloves off, wanting to fight Gunz without the protective padding of the gloves.

Their fight proceeded the high profile fight of Lamar Odom and Aaron Carter, though the bout between the Love & Hip Hop stars was equally entertaining. Though it seems neither has any proper boxing experience, the two were truly going at it with inefficient yet powerful swipes at each other. The ref failed miserably at trying to get them off of each other, and the fighters’ respective teams had to get involved. At that moment, Cisco took off his gloves and tried to approach Gunz, though his team held him back. 

The ref can be heard screaming “get the man together” as Rosado attempts to turn the match into a street fight. The fight then continued into its last round, after which Rosado won by majority decision. 

Later on in the night, singer Aaron Carter was knocked out by former LA Laker Lamar Odom. 

Do you think Rosado was right to take the gloves off? Let us know and check out the clip below:

Nicki Minaj’s return to Instagram marked her subsequent return to music. After taking some time away from music and social media to focus on being a mother and deal with the loss of her father, she treated fans by servicing her fan-favorite mixtape Beam Me Up Scotty, adding on three new tracks for the Barbz to enjoy. 

For her first guest appearance of the year, the Queen lent her vocals to Polo G on their track “For the Love of New York,” a cut from his latest effort Hall of Fame. She’s been lighting up her Instagram lately with all types of luxurious and sultry shots. Most recently, she stripped down a bit, flexing in a head-to-toe Fendi print outfit with a glamorous knee-length black ponytail.

“When u arrive on set & Tae the tmz bus is alrdy in the bldng,” wrote Nicki in the caption of the brief video shared Saturday (June 12), poking fun at her hairstylist Arrogant Tae’s ability to capture the Queen in all her moments. “I was just tryna change into my clothes,” she added. 

In the footage, Nicki grips her knee-length slick black ponytail she presumably is wearing for an upcoming shoot as Tae cheers her behind the camera. She then shows off her iced out neck and wrist before flexing her Fendi slippers and matching Fendi tracksuit set. 

The “Seeing Green” artist struck a deal with the major fashion house back in 2019, reportedly earning $10 million for the deal.  

Right now, it’s unclear what exactly Nicki is filming for. Some suspect it could be for an upcoming music video. Of course, only time will tell. 

Earlier today, we reported news that Polo G was arrested following the release of Hall Of Fame. The rapper was in Miami where he was hosting his album release party but ended up in jail. More details have since emerged with Polo’s mom, Stacia Mac, confirming that she had bonded out everyone that was involved in the arrest. “I have tbaby. I’ve bonded out Polo and everyone. I’ve also, of course, notified my attorney. I’ll be relieved when I have everyone out of jail safely. Thank you guys for your support,” she wrote on Facebook.

Prior to that, she informed her Facebook followers that Polo G, his sister, girlfriend, brother, and the security team were among those that were taken into custody. “They are all being detained. Still in jail. No clue what they are being charged with,” she wrote.

Mac was on Instagram Live while the rapper was getting arrested, revealing that she wasn’t allowed to see her children including Polo’s minor brother. The rapper was charged with battery against a police officer, resisting officer with violence, criminal mischief, public servant/influence performance, and resisting officer without violence.

“None of these charges would be possible if the POLICE did not make contact with my son Polo G!!! He was NOT the driver. He was a PASSENGER in a professionally licensed vehicle with security. He was moving smart and correctly. What more could he have done,” Mac said of the charges on Twitter. 

Law enforcement sources close to TMZ claimed that the Miami cop who was allegedly assaulted was “pummelled by Polo with his elbows,” causing lacerations. What police officials didn’t apparently tell TMZ is why Polo G was pulled over. Stacia Mac said that the driver of the vehicle Polo was in accidentally swerved and cut off an officer which caused the car to get pulled over. Apparently, it was Polo G and the passengers who were taken away in cuffs, rather than the driver.

Last night, LeBron James, Drake, JR Smith, and Jared Dudley turned Sierra Canyon’s championship game into a star-studded affair as they were all in attendance to cheer on Bronny James Jr. Bronny had been out all season with a meniscus tear and luckily, he was able to come back just in time for a very pivotal game. While Sierra Canyon ultimately lost, Bronny made his presence be felt, much to the light of Drake and LeBron.

Drake was particularly active during the match and at one point, he got into it with the referee. LeBron seemed to be amused by the whole thing, especially with the camera catching the whole thing. Today, LeBron immortalized his courtside appearance with Drake by posting a photo to Instagram, with some lyrics from the song “Tuscan Leather.”

“I’m tired of hearin’ ’bout who you checkin’ for now/ Just give it time, we’ll see who’s still around a decade from now,” LeBron wrote. While Sierra Canyon may have lost, there could still be some tournaments on the horizon, and if so, it will be interesting to see how Bronny and his teammates do.

As for Drake’s attendance, it might be a while before we see him back in the Sierra Canyon gym.

Unfortunately, gun violence has only increasingly grown as a long-standing fixture in the hip-hop community. In Louisiana, two members of local rap group The Fours were arrested recently after the duo were allegedly involved in the murder of a rival Lousiana rapper. 

According to reports, Tauj Chardez Taplin and Quardavion Tyvon White were arrested after Taplin allegedly shot and killed fellow LA native 19-year-old Michael Brock in Bogalusa, Louisiana on June 7. He then fled with White, who is allegedly tied to Chicago’s Gangster Disciples. The two were then involved in a high-speed chase with officers as they attempted to flee to Texas, eventually being arrested outside of Lake Charles, LA.

Brock, who was a member of the rap group Three-13, was hiding in an apartment with a 7-year-old relative of his significant other when he heard a knock at his door. When he opened the door, he was sprayed with bullets from an AR-15 assault rifle. He died at the scene after being struck multiple times. The child was unharmed during the altercation. 

Both White and Taplin are facing second-degree murder charges plus charges relating to fleeing from officers in Texas.  

There’s no word yet on if the two will be offered bail.
