Mulatto dropped a picture on Instagram looking more radiant than ever while raising some eyebrows with a racy caption. 

The “Queen of Da Souf” wore a champagne-colored dress with snakeskin boots, and silky-straight honey-blonde hair, as she showed off with a quick spin in a video clip. She captioned the post, “that [eggplant emoji] got me glowing” with a mischievous laughing emoji and a sparkle at the end. 

Fans, instantly amused by the bold caption, speculated who was the man behind the eggplant. Recently, rumors have been circulating that Latto has been coupled up with 21 Savage, and these rumors are echoed in the IG comments.

One fan commented under the post, “21, 21, 21,” to which many others added to this narrative. 

Regarding the rumored couple, 21 Savage has shut down rumors insinuating that he was with the “Muwop” rapper on multiple occasions. Last year, Mulatto vacationed in Puerto Rico for her 22nd birthday, and, coincidentally, 21 Savage seemed to be there too. 

Then, the other week, the “Mr. Right Now” rapper seemed to accidentally reveal his relationship with Latto on Instagram. He reposted the rapper’s “no makeup” post on his IG story with the caption “Dam u fine, it’s only 1 way I can come bout you twin.” However, the post was deleted shortly after.

Neither has confirmed or denied any of the rumors either. 

Do you think Mulatto and 21 Savage are secretly together? Let us know in the comments.

Wiz Khalifa is one of the premier pot-smokers in hip-hop. For the length of his entire run in the music business, weed has been a central part of his personality. When you see Wiz pull up to an event, he’s usually got a joint in between his fingers, having already smoked an ounce on the way over. The “Black & Yellow” hitmaker is known for being a cannabis connoisseur, working on his own marijuana strains on a few different occasions. However, it’s not his Khalifa Kush that’s blowing the minds of fans across the nation– it’s the manner in which he’s recently been smoking it.

Going viral this week for a video of himself smoking out of a glass gravity bong from Cookies, Wiz Khalifa impressed the masses by showing how dedicated he is to the art of getting high. Wiz has been adamant that he enjoys smoking joints over blunts, but he might have found a special contraption that takes the cake. Inhaling smoke from two separate glass gravity bongs, Wiz showed off how the product works before taking a long puff. Needless to say, people were pretty impressed.

Recently, the 33-year-old rapper celebrated the 10-year anniversary of his album Rolling Papers, releasing the deluxe version with a few new songs. He’s also been teasing a new mixtape called Cereal Milk, which will likely be released this year.

Sneaker culture and weed culture rarely intersect, but the union can result in some pretty dope products — remember Curren$y’s “Jet Life”-themed Reebok Question or his smoker-friendly Club C sneaker collab? Highlights in the history of kush & kicks for sure, but now it’s looking like adidas is turning to South Park to take the crown for 2021.

Anyone that got a chance to watch the “Pandemic Special” episode of South Park, currently streaming on HBO Max, knows for certain that we can expect to see Cartman and the gang for the long run — what’s 23 seasons on air anyway! Diehard fans are well aware of the character Towelie, an animated towel used as an anthropomorphic analogy that doesn’t need to be described for seasoned smokers. The Campus 80s silhouette used for this collab is designed to look exactly like the character, complete with a lavender-colored french terry upper and eye motifs that change under UV light and turn red to signal…well, y’all know!

The rest of shoe takes on a clean finish overall, pairing the lavender detailing with a crisp white midsole, matching Three Stripes on the side panels as per usual and a white leather heel counter complimented further with adidas’ signature Trefoil logo in lavender. The shoes look cozy AF based off first glance, and the overall simplicity makes it one of those kicks you can rock with majority of your wardrobe if you’re not planning on keeping these on ice as a collector. All and all, we’re sure you’ll be the flyest in the cypher come 4/20 if you decide to add these to your rotation. 

No official release date set for these, but word on the block is that they’re most likely dropping on 4/20/21. Check out some more pics of the South Park x adidas Campus 80s “Towelie” kicks releasing for 4/20 below:

Nearly one year ago, YNW Melly’s co-defendant YNW Bortlen was granted his pre-trial release in the double murder case involving two members of the YNW collective. The rapper, whose real name is Cortlen Henry, has been dropping new music since his release, garnering a slight buzz for himself but it looks like that all could be taken away from him again because, according to a new report by Complex, authorities are seeking to arrest Henry for allegedly violating the terms of his release.

A pre-trial specialist has reportedly told the publication that YNW Bortlen has “not properly conducted himself” in recent weeks, allegedly being tracked through his ankle monitor to a couple of different strip clubs, despite getting permission to travel for work. Bortlen was reportedly given permission to leave his house for work purposes on March 27, but he was linked to a King of Diamonds nightclub as well as a personal residence. The following day, he was granted another work-related pass to leave his house and was tracked to Playhouse Gentlemen’s Club and a G5ive Gentlemen’s Club.

A spokesperson for the Broward County Courthouse has reportedly confirmed that Bortlen’s pre-trial release was revoked on Monday. A judge was reportedly called for the rapper’s arrest.

YNW Bortlen most recently updated his social media accounts an hour ago, so it’s likely that he has not been arrested yet. We will keep you updated as new information is released.

Kodak Black was the reported target of a recent shooting in Tallahassee, Florida, which resulted in the rapper’s security guard being rushed to the hospital for gunshot wounds in his leg. Kodak was safely escorted away from the McDonald’s restaurant where shots were fired on Monday morning. The rapper was reportedly returning from a festival performance nearby, being followed to the restaurant and ambushed when he arrived.

Yak recently told Pooh Shiesty that he could “relate” to a caption he shared about all of his opps getting shot at. He later popped up on Instagram Live on Tuesday to speak even more about the shooting, downplaying it and proving that he’s doing just fine.

“A b*tch ain’t even gone play with me,” said the 23-year-old artist. “When I saw the [news reports] I was like, what the f*ck? This ain’t no sh*t like– Y’all trying to make it like, one of these little industry b*tches. That sh*t was just some little bullsh*t on some lame little sh*t that transpired on some lame sh*t, homie. If you a real stepper out here, you gone know, I’m in this life. Baby blue sh*t. That’s Yak right there.”

He went on to further dispel that the shooting was fueled by rap beef, claiming that his mother checked in with him on Tuesday. “Leave me alone, man,” he said about the situation. “I ain’t f*cking with nobody. Yak been zoolin’.”
