Ralo Gets Support In Fight For Clemency From Former Georgia Lawmaker

by

Atlanta lyricist and Gucci Mane affiliate Ralo has been dealing with a federal drug case for the past three years. The artist was arrested alongside 13 other individuals three years ago on charges of trafficking millions of dollars worth of marijuana. Last year, it seemed like he had made reasonable strides in the case after it was reported he was granted a nearly $250 thousand bond before evidence that he was orchestrating drug deals behind bars surfaced. 

To this day, he remains behind bars. Ralo has fortunately just received good news regarding the Free Ralo movement, receiving a major co-sign from a former congressman in his ongoing fight to be freed. In a letter addressed to current POTUS Joe Biden shared with Complex, former Georgia Rep. Kwanza Hall urged the president to grant the rapper clemency. 

“[Ralo] has pleaded guilty, accepted reasonability and is currently awaiting sentencing,” Hall wrote in his letter. “… As a long-time advocate for racial equality and justice reform, I truly believe that it is long past time to end the war on drugs, particularly with regard to marijuana.”

“During your campaign, you promised to decriminalize marijuana, release those who are still in prison for marijuana-related offenses and expunge the records of those with felony marijuana convictions so that they may go on to live meaningful lives,” he continued. “… [Ralo] is very influential amongst young people throughout the nation and can be a very strong force for good working with myself and other justice reform advocates.”

Hall previously served as a member of the House of Representatives in Georgia. Ralo expressed his appreciation for the support from the congressman. “It has been a hard battle these past few years, and I just want peace,” Ralo said. “Once you make your bed you have to lay in it, and so I accept responsibility for my actions and am ready to move on with my life.”
He’s already received support from the likes of Drake, Meek Mill, and others who signed a letter addressed to President Biden regarding Ralo’s case last month.

Kim Kardashian Pens Sweet Birthday Message For Psalm

by

Kim Kardashian West and Kanye West welcomed their fourth child Psalm West back in 2019. Conceived via surrogate, the adorable toddler is the youngest of the entire next-gen of the Kardashian clan.  “With the arrival of our fourth child. We are blessed beyond measure. We have everything we need,” said Kim at the time of their bundle of joy’s birth.

While they have since split, the former couple has already vowed to split custody of their children so they spend a fair amount of time with both parents. The youngest Kardashian-West turned two years old today and in celebration of the milestone, Pslam’s mother penned a sweet birthday message for the youngster recognizing his unwavering effect on his family’s life.

Miley Cyrus Covered Dolly Parton And Performed With The Kid Laroi On ‘SNL’

by

As she’s done numerous times in her career over the last decade, Miley Cyrus once again found herself on the Saturday Night Live stage this weekend. Her gig as the show’s musical guest made for the singer’s sixth appearance on SNL. Thanks to this episode’s host, none other than Elon Musk, who had many viewers ready for some potential Dogecoin chatter, all eyes were on last night’s episode. Rather than the usual pair of performances that musical guests offer when they appear on the show, Cyrus blessed the audience with three songs last night.

She began the night with a cover of her godmother Dolly Parton’s “Light Of A Clear Blue Morning” for the show’s cold open. Rather than the typical sketch for the open, SNL cast members showed love to their moms with warm messages during the segment. “Tomorrow is Mother’s Day, and this is for all the moms out there,” Cyrus said before delivering the cover.

Later in the show, she brought out The Kid Laroi to perform their new collaboration, “Without You,” a track that was remixed with a new verse from Cyrus last week. Lastly, to bring and end to the night, Cyrus returned one last time for a solo performance of “Plastic Hearts,” the title track from her 2020 album.

You can watch all of Miley’s performances in the videos above.

Czarface & MF Doom Tapped Del The Funkee Homosapien For “Jason & The Czargonauts”

by

It was in 2018 when Czarface and MF DOOM connected for Czarface Meets Metal Face. DOOM has always been extremely collaborative throughout his career, despite how reclusive he comes across. Ghostface even told us in a recent interview that his collaborative effort with DOOM happened through the late rapper and producer sending him beats without actually being in the same room. 

DOOM’s death left many reflecting on his vast catalog over the years. On Friday, we received the first batch of posthumous verses from DOOM for his second collaborative effort with Czarface for Super What?! At 10 tracks in length, Czarface and DOOM enlist Del The Funkee Homosapien for a highlight off of the project titled, “Jason & The Czargonauts.” 

Check that song out below and peep the whole project here. 

Quotable Lyrics
Irrelevant to tag if the swag is past-tense
And karma swing backwards and drag, you can’t flinch
A thrill you deserve to feel if your ass is that dense
Like how you like them apples, confined to tin shackles

Aaron Rodgers To Guest Star On “The Conners” As “Jeopardy!” Host

by

Aaron Rodgers is currently in the midst of trying to get out of Green Bay as he is no longer happy with the franchise. After years of not giving him the pieces needed in order to win, Rodgers is claiming to be done with the team and if they don’t do what he wants, he will ultimately retire or at least try to sit out for a few years until his contract has run out.

In the meantime, Rodgers has expressed interest in being the permanent host of Jeopardy! He was a guest host for the show just a few weeks ago and he ended up getting rave reviews. Now, he is a prime candidate to become the full-time host and some wonder if he would leave football to pursue the gig.

Well, fuel was added to the fire recently as ABC’s hit TV show The Conners announced that Rodgers would be a guest star in an upcoming episode and that he would be playing the host of Jeopardy! as part of his cameo. What makes this interesting is that the show could have chosen any of the previous guest hosts although they stuck with Rodgers. In the end, this could mean absolutely nothing, although the timing is still significant.

Regardless, these next few weeks will be pivotal for Rodgers and we will continue to bring you the latest on his saga with the Packers.

JT & Lil Uzi Vert’s Ex Brittany Byrd Continue To Exchange Words On Social Media

by

Lil Uzi Vert separated from his longtime girlfriend Brittany Byrd back in 2016. Since their breakup, the next relationship the Philly rapper has ever gone public with is his budding romance with City Girl’s rapper JT. While the two seem very happy with each other, their union has not been without small scuffles in the road. For the past few days, JT has been involved in a heated social media beef with Byrd after she suspected the former girlfriend of her current beau was being shady about the couple’s leaked Arena Homme + magazine cover.

She began with the more gentle thought, “All jokes aside for someone who left someone the obsession is real, move on … be happy live your life!” before fully airing Byrd out. In more recent developments of the drama, Byrd recently took to Instagram to suggest that JT was the victim of domestic abuse, which didn’t sit well with her at all.

“I offer this to every young girl, every woman or young person following me to never give your whole life to a man, never let a man use you to attack another woman, don’t allow yourself to be abused, confused, misused enough to become an abuser. I’m too much of a womanist I am too much of a feminist to, ever allow myself to hate you,” said Byrd in an Instagram video many suspect is aimed at JT. 

She continued, “You can call me homeless, but I saw you get three-pieced like a person in a Mayweather fight and asking for a hotel room and a safe environment and it just didn’t make me feel good to see that, it made me feel sorry for the girls who think that abuse is okay. You can call me everything but a child of God but I never wanna see a woman get beat, I wanna use this platform for good forreal.”  

In response to this, JT shared a hot-tempered message in her Instagram story reading, “I never saw that sick a*s b*tch a day of my life!!”

She continued to deny the claims on Twitter, tagging Byrd in the tweets suggesting she made the whole thing up. Check out screengrabs of the drama above and below. Uzi has notably kept quiet through the whole debacle.
