Explaining the incident where the rapper held a gun to her head, she explained, “I wanted to leave. I was trying to leave.” She continued,  “I had pepper sprayed him one day, really bad. He tried to take a shower. And it f***ed him up really bad. I want to say it was the same day. He had charged at me. So I pepper sprayed him. I had it under my pillow.”

 She continued, “His barber came after our whole little incident. So I said, ‘I know this n****’s haircuts take like an hour.’ I’m trying make sure he couldn’t see me from certain mirrors. And I packed my bag. It’s a crazy situation to try to get out of. So I was just sitting there, watching, watching, watching. He hadn’t moved. He didn’t get up for nothing. I got up, got my bag. I walked down stairs. And I felt him press it [the gun] against the back of my head. And I just sat down. I sat on the steps for a couple of hours. He was sitting behind me.”

“With the gun?” Tasha K asked, to which Riley replied, “Yeah. And he had friends there that would sit there and watch him. Nobody ever said anything. It was just crazy. It was something that was private and just us, if we were home. But if his friends were there, he didn’t care.”

Tasha continued, “So you mean to tell me there were grown men who were there and them n****s didn’t do s**t?”

“They didn’t do anything,” Riley said in response. “No one did anything. I won’t say they all enable each other but that’s how it feels.”

This is not the only time Soulja Boy has been accused of acting violently towards women. He is currently facing a lawsuit from a woman alleging he sexually assaulted her, among other violent actions.

Lyric made it known that she was a big Beyoncé fan and Bey would always come through for her, often offering her gifts from Ivy Park or personalized mail. After hearing of Lyric’s passing, Beyoncé created a heartfelt tribute for her that was posted as an unlisted video on YouTube as well as on her website.

In the video, Beyoncé sings a medley of her own songs, including “Brown Skin Girl,” “Halo,” and “Love On Top.” Pictures and videos of Lyric play alongside the music, with Beyoncé writing the message, “Rest in peace Lyric Chanel.” “I love you with all my heart,” Beyoncé says at the very end of the video. Many fans noted how touching it was that Bey sang all of the songs herself for Lyric’s tribute rather than just remixing them. 

Rest in peace, Lyric. 

Lil Uzi Vert had a busy 2020 as he dropped three projects for his fans. Of course, there was Eternal Atake and the subsequent deluxe version which might as well have been considered a whole other album. He then linked up with Future for Pluto x Baby Pluto which was considered to be a hit or miss upon release. In 2021, Uzi has continued his busy ways as the artist is constantly on Twitter telling fans that he is going back to his older days.

In a new Twitter post from an Uzi fan page called @1600Files, Uzi can be found on video talking about his brand new album and how he is ready to drop one. The artist gives a bit of an aggressive vibe here, noting that a lot of people are doubting him right now and that he wants to show them that he’s still got it.

Uzi fans have been hoping for his 2016 aesthetics for a while now and at this point, it seems like a return to form could be very possible. Ever since he figured out his label issues, Uzi has been steadily making waves in the studio, and based on the video above, he seems poised for a massive return to form.

Stay tuned for updates on Uzi’s music as we will be sure to keep you informed.

Pooh Shiesty is climbing up the ranks of rap royalty these days. Fresh off of the release of Shiesty Season, and the success of “Back In Blood,” the rapper is truly basking in the glory of rap stardom. Unfortunately, the rapper lost his brother last week after a battle with cancer. As the rapper shared tributes on social media, and friends and peers offered their support and prayers during this time, he revealed that he received some words of wisdom from Drake recently.

Pooh took to his IG Story where he shared a voice memo from Drake who sent a heartfelt message following Pooh’s brother’s death. “I just want to send you my condolences, man. You know, and just let you know that, like, the cycle of life is unfair, you know? It just hits us so hard,” Drake said in the message. “Money can’t change that, you know? Something I just went through, too, with one of my friends,” he admitted, before acknowledging Pooh’s hustle, grind, and resilience to make it this far and to provide for those around him.

“Just know that’s something everybody got to witness and I’m sure they’re all just proud of you, the most love for you in their hearts and that’s something I want you to know,” he continued. “In a tough time like this, realize what you’ve been able to accomplish in this short time and what you have in front of you. I’m wishing you strength in these times, man.”

Pooh Shiesty captioned the posts to his story, “Real n***as back in style.” Check the voice memo below.

Popular street-style brand Kith has recently announced that it will donate a good portion of the proceeds from its upcoming Kith for The Notorious B.I.G. collection to six Brooklyn schools. The collaboration is a charitable partnership with the Christopher Wallace Estate, and the company has just unveiled more exclusive details about the upcoming partnership.

The brand revealed on Wednesday (March 3), that it plans to donate all the money earned from its upcoming Biggie collection to six different schools in Brooklyn, which is where the legendary rapper was born and grew up. The funds will be for supplying the schools with “books, technology, software, furniture, food and more,” according to Kith. The schools that will receive the charitable donation are as follows: Dr. Ronald E. McNair Public School 5, Research & Service High School, Stephen Decatur Middle School 35, Crispus Attucks Elementary Public School 21, Madiba Prep Middle School, and MS 267 – Math, Science & Technology.

“We’re doing this with the hope that we can continue to spread BIG’s positive impact to the future generations of his home borough,” announced Kith via Instagram. They announced the donation earlier in the year as part of its efforts for diversity and inclusion initiatives. They’ve additionally used their platform for uplifting Black creators and promoting minority-owned businesses.

“I always pictured Kith as a medium to bring my childhood dreams to life. What I’ve realized is that using the brand as a platform to create change is more important than anything I ever dreamed of accomplishing,” said Kith founder Ronnie Fieg back in January. “I’ve worked on changing what we do as company and added the responsibility of giving back to a culture that has constantly influenced and inspired me. Not just now, but indefinitely.”

Drake delivered for his fans on Friday as he gave them a teaser to his new album Certified Lover Boy. This effort was a 3-track EP called Scary Hours 2 and so far, fans are agreeing that the best track here is “Lemon Pepper Freestyle” which features the likes of Rick Ross. The two artists trade bars and deliver their signature chemistry, which has gotten many supporters excited for what’s supposed to come with Drake’s next full-length project.

NBA players were especially taken aback by the effort, including Kyle Kuzma who immediately took to Twitter to give his take on “Lemon Pepper Freestyle.” In true NBA player fashion, Kuzma compared Drake and Ross to two legends of the basketball world. Of course, we are talking about Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen.

Jordan and Pippen are the most legendary duo in the history of the NBA, so it makes sense why Kuzma would want to jump to this conclusion. Of course, LeBron James had something to say about this, however, as the Los Angeles Lakers superstar noted that he believes Ross and Drake are more like Steph Curry and Kevin Durant.

It’s hard to disagree with either of these players and as CLB draws closer, we’re sure the comparisons will keep on coming.
