DDG Responds To Intense Backlash Over Buying Halo A Ferrari He Can’t Drive

by

DDG and Halle Bailey may not be together anymore, but that does not mean they don’t still have a ton in common. Perhaps their most important shared love is that for their one-year-old child Halo. In fact, Halo celebrated his first birthday over the weekend, and there were plenty of storylines to make their way throughout social media. However, there is one in particular that seems to have the entire internet in an utter state of confusion.

By now, you have probably seen that DDG bought his son a Ferrari for his birthday. No, we are not talking about one of those small kid cars that everyone wanted from the Sears catalog. Instead, we are talking about a real Ferrari with a high-powered engine that could go from 0 to 60 in the blink of an eye. Overall, it is easy to understand why this is such a ridiculous gift for an infant. Simply put, they can’t drive it. Moreover, it would be unsafe for them to even be a mere passenger in the vehicle.

DDG Does Not Care For Your Comments

With all of this backlash in mind, DDG decided to go after his trolls on social media. In typical DDG fashion, he flexed his wealth and urged his haters to start doing better in life. “N****s mad cuz they son playin hot wheels and mines playin wit ferrari’s & M’s. Just work harder gang,” he wrote. Considering the man is a YouTuber, he knows how to stir up drama while also getting under people’s skin. He has no problem playing the villain role, and he pulls it off extremely well.

As for that Ferrari, only time will tell whether or not DDG keeps it until Halo is old enough to drive it. By then, the car might be out of date or out of style. One also has to wonder if DDG will be driving it himself, in an act of pure selfishness. Is it any of our business? Who knows.

New Alleged Snapchat Video Of Travis Hunter’s Girlfriend Leaks Online And Fans Are Concerned

by

Travis Hunter’s girlfriend Leanna Lenee has been embroiled in all kinds of controversy over the last couple of weeks. Overall, it all started when the couple made a video in which she claimed that Hunter was never her type to begin with. Furthermore, things escalated as she initially wouldn’t stand up for him when he won the Heisman trophy. A few days later, she was unhappy to be at a fan event with him, and the speculation about their relationship only got worse.

Subsequently, the discourse hit a critical mass as old videos and photos of Lenee began to emerge on social media. For instance, one video showcased Lenee twerking on a man in a music video. One image showcased a man putting the palm of his hand on her backside. Now, a new video has made its way to social media. It allegedly showcases Lenee is another man’s bed, and being filmed on his Snapchat story. This video is a few years old, and some believe it occurred while Hunter and Lenee were together, although that is unconfirmed conjecture.

Travis Hunter And Leanna Lenee Experience Controversy

In fact, there has been quite a bit of confusion around the timeline of Hunter being with his fiancee. Some believe that the two have been a couple for five years. Meanwhile, some say they’ve actually only been exclusive to one another for two years now. Depending on what timeline you’re aware of, this footage will certainly skew your perception of what exactly is going on here.

Fans Express Concern For Hunter’s Well-Being

Meanwhile, with this video making the rounds, there has been a lot of concern for Hunter’s well-being. He has already deleted his social media accounts, which is certainly a good first step. However, many cannot help but feel like this is weighing on him heavily, especially with the NFL Draft coming up very soon. Hopefully, Hunter and Lenee can figure things out. Moreover, perhaps the internet can stop digging things up and instigating.

BIA Claims Cardi B Is “Beneath” Her As Cardi Offers Big Bucks For Those Cheating Receipts

by

Cardi B and BIA found themselves at the center of a rap beef a few months ago as the two were compared to each other by fans on social media. Overall, BIA did not appreciate the Cardi comparison and it eventually led to a diss track. BIA’s song was mostly laughed at by fans, with some calling it the worst diss track of the entire year. Moreover, within the song, the artist claimed to have receipts that Cardi was cheating on Offset. However, those receipts never materialized.

Just a few days ago on social media, a Cardi B hater was reminiscing about the BIA diss track, saying “bia spilled all that girls team, but yall called this trash.” The “Bodak Yellow” rapper is always on social media, and she sees everything that is being said about her. Consequently, it should come as no surprise that she had a response at the ready for the Twitter user. “That bitch ain’t spill ..I’ll pay her a million dollars in cash to provide receipts of me talking to any n***a before this situation,” she wrote.

Cardi B & BIA Go Back And Forth

After being offered a ton of money to offer up some receipts, BIA decided to take the high road, which is not going to lend well to the narrative that she doesn’t actually have any. “Boooo. beneath me. next,” she wrote. Perhaps the fact that the Holidays are right around the corner has contributed to the pacifism here. At the the end of the day, this is a situation that happened months ago, and we wouldn’t be surprised if BIA is just completely over it.

As for Cardi B, she has yet to release her brand-new album, which has been highly-anticipated for six years now. At this point, some are wondering if it is ever going to come out. Although Cardi appears to be promising a release date around 2025. Only time will tell whether or not this is a beef that will spill into the next year.

Lil Pump Performs “Gucci Gang” During Grandmother’s 90th Birthday

by

Lil Pump will always be remembered for “Gucci Gang.” He’s had bigger hits, and other viral moments throughout his career, but his breakout single remains his calling card. Case in point: Lil Pump decided to perform “Gucci Gang” during a recent family celebration. The rapper’s grandmother was turning 90, and so he decided to celebrate the best way he knows how: a viral performance. Pump decided to put his grandmother center stage while he serenaded her with the aggressive sounds of his Soundcloud hit.

The footage of Lil Pump performing for a 90 year old woman is surreal enough on its own. The thing that pushes it over the top, though, is the way the footage is staged. Pump’s grandmother is sitting at a table and looking around while the rapper scales said table with a microphone in hand. The rapper then drops his repetitive rhymes right next to her. And yes, you are correct in inferring that he doesn’t have a shirt on while all this is going on. There’s a bizarre logic to Lil Pump’s decision. While “Gucci Gang” is not exactly grandma-friendly, there is a lyric that directly references her.

Lil Pump References His Grandma In The Lyrics

“My lean cost more than your rent, ooh (It do),” Lil Pump raps. “Your momma still live in a tent, yuh (Brr). Still slangin’ dope in the ‘jects, huh? (Yeah). Me and my grandma take meds, ooh (Huh?).” If Lil Pump had to perform a song for his grandma (and he really didn’t have to), then “Gucci Gang” does in fact make a lot of sense. This viral birthday performance marks the first time in years that Lil Pump hasn’t made the news for his political statements. The Florida rapper has become one of the most vocal Donald Trump fans in hip hop, to such an extent that he’s called out other rappers for their anti-Trump stances.

During the recent presidential election, Lil Pump put Eminem on blast for supporting Kamala Harris. He took to social media after Em introduced Barack Obama at a Harris campaign rally. He did not hold back in terms of his anger. “You’re a f*cking piece of sh*t for going on stage and speaking at Kamala Harris sh*t,” Lil Pump exclaimed. “You’re a f*cking piece of sh*t for taking a picture with Obama.” He also took aim at Eminem’s daughter. “F*ck you and f*ck Hailie.”

Fake Version Of Lil Baby’s “WHAM” Album Gets Uploaded To YouTube Music

by

Lil Baby is poised to dominate first couple months of 2025. The rapper may have been quiet in 2024, but he’s been hard at work on two different albums. The first, WHAM, is scheduled for release on January 3, while the second, Dominique, is slated to drop some time in February. There was a brief period Monday, however, where it seemed as though WHAM had leaked a week early. An album bearing the same title as Lil Baby’s upcoming release was uploaded on YouTube music the morning of December 23. It wasn’t the real deal, though.

The album looked to be legit until YouTube music viewers clicked on the link. Instead of the new songs Lil Baby has been teasing and working on, the link included random by a different rapper. Songs called “F U 2X” and “Listen Up” lined up with the titles confirmed by Baby. They were clearly fake, however. Several of the songs didn’t even crack three minutes. Fans had a mixed response to the fake album leak. Many were happy to discover that Lil Baby’s real music hadn’t been leaked. This would have damaged his first week sales. Others were excited to hear the long-anticipated album, and were annoyed by the fact that they were tricked.

Lil Baby’s Upcoming Album Has NOT Leaked

It sounds like the wait will be worth it. Lil Baby told A Safe Place podcast host Lil Yachty that WHAM is his best album yet. “Totally,” he asserted. “100 percent.” When Lil Yachty asked why WHAM is so special for the Lil Baby catalog, the latter claimed that it represented the fullest form of himself to date. “Where I am today, and what I’m going through today,” he explained. “It’s gon’ be my latest sh*t.” Lil Baby also told Lil Yachty that he wanted to release two albums in quick succession to showcase his range as an artist. The first album, WHAM, will represent the more aggressive side of his music.

“I know my fanbase really want to hearing them certain songs,” Lil Baby asserted. “WHAM is more like me on some young n**ga sh*t. Fast cars, girls, jewelry. The turnt lifestyle.” Dominique, on the other hand, will showcase a more “serious” side of the rapper. Fingers crossed that both albums make it to release without any major leaks.

Diddy Employee Claims He Was Forced To Destroy Sex Party Evidence In New Lawsuit

by

You know the drill at this point. It’s almost abnormal to have a week go by where there isn’t a lawsuit filed against Diddy. The Bad Boy founder has been accused of nearly every crime under the sun, including sex trafficking, assault, and racketeering. Diddy was hit with another lawsuit on December 23. This particular suit comes from a former employee named Philip Pines. Pines claims that he was forced to participate in Diddy’s sex parties. He was also, allegedly, forced to clean up and destroy any evidence after the parties came to an end.

In his lawsuit, Philip Pines revealed that he worked for Diddy from December 2019 to December 2021. During this time period, the employee was allegedly forced to have sex with women against his will, and was subjected to abuse on a regular basis. Pines claimed the sex parties in which he would be forced to participate were called “Wild King Nights.” He also alleged that he was tasked with preparing for these parties, as well as cleaning them up. Pines said that he purchased alcohol, drugs and sex paraphernalia for each “Wild King Night.” Some of the objects he claimed to have purchased include: “red lights, ice buckets, alcohol, marijuana joints, honey packs for male libido, baby oil, astro glide, towels, illegal drugs and power banger sex machines.”

Pines Claims Diddy Parties Were Called “Wild King Nights”

Afterwards, Philip Pines would be tasked with damage control. He claims he regularly made sure that attendees did not have video footage of Diddy. If he did not view and delete any footage with the Bad Boy founder, he would reportedly be fired. Pines also made sure that bodily fluids like blood and urine were cleaned up and not traceable. The former employee also recounted specific situations in which Diddy exposed a celebrity to COVID and violently kicked a participant during a “Wild King Night” in Miami.

Diddy’s legal team issued a statement denying Pines’ claims. “No matter how many lawsuits are filed,” the statement read. “It won’t change the fact that Combs has never sexually assaulted or sex trafficked anyone. Man or woman, adult or minor. We live in a world where anyone can file a lawsuit for any reason. Fortunately, a fair and impartial judicial process exists to find the truth, and Mr. Combs is confident he will prevail in court.”

Drake And Adin Ross Team Up For “Drizzmas Giveaway” Live Stream

by

Drake is a busy man these days. The rapper is in the midst of a legal battle against UMG and Spotify, in which he’s accusing both companies of artificially inflating Kendrick Lamar’s streaming numbers. Drizzy has decided to keep the fans fed amidst this corporate drama, though. On Monday, the rapper revealed that he will be collaborating with Adin Ross on a holiday-themed stream. It’s called “Drizzmas Giveaway” and the event will see the rapper and stream give out several expensive prizes to viewers.

Drake and Adin Ross’ stream is Christmas themed, but it will take place at 8 pm EST on December 26. The duo can be seen rocking Santa hats on the poster for the event. Several prizes are listed on the poster, including a dream vacation for two, as well as a two person trip to see Drake perform live in Australia. A years rent for up to two people, and $250K U.S. for two people are also prize options. Drake and Adin Ross have interacted at various points in the past. The two reportedly hung out at a Toronto club in September, and Drizzy went semi-viral for leaving a comment about KSI on one of Ross’ streams.

Drake Will Give Away Expensive Prizes With Adin Ross

Drake and Adin Ross are both born in October. The former even got on Instagram to wish the streamer a happy birthday and give him props. “BIG ADIN DAY TOO the most unlikely duo,” he wrote. “More life. You are a good human being and solid. What you do for the people around you, I admire. Love broski.” But the timing of the post, and Drake’s reputation post-Kendrick Lamar battle, caused fans to roast Ross for the co-sign. “If DRAKE calls you a good human being,” one Twitter user asserted. “Then you’re probably not a good human being.”

Drake is becoming an increasingly familiar face on live streams. The rapper recently linked up with fellow Canadian xQc for a gambling stream. The live stream drew impressive numbers, but Drake’s comments about enemies like The Weeknd, Steve Lacy, and, of course, Kendrick Lamar, overshadowed everything else about the event.The internet clowned Drake in return. Steve Lacy even flipped Drake’s “fragile opp” comment into a meme. Hopefully Drizzy’s live stream with Adin Ross goes a bit smoother.

But DDG dialed thing up when it came to the gift reveals. DDG treated his son to a brand new decked out shiny red Ferrari. In the vlog of the party (viewable here), DDG’s subscribers found the reveal to be a hilarious troll.

However, users online slammed DDG for making a such an exorbitant purchase. Now, DDG issued a response. Over on X (formerly Twitter), DDG clapback at the critics, writing: “N****s mad cuz they son playin hot wheels and mines playin wit ferrari’s & M’s. Just work harder gang 😂😂.”

Halo was temporarily impressed with the as he can be seen playing with the luxury car’s interior. Still, he won’t be legally allowed to drive for in most states fifteen more years. In the meantime, DDG will make sure rubber hits the road until Halo is ready to takeover.

Mariah The Scientist Tells Young Thug Shocking Diddy Stories In Leaked Prison Call

by

Young Thug jail calls are leaking like songs these days. The rapper was the victim of two leaks on December 23. The second involved him and longtime girlfriend Mariah the Scientist. Thug was behind bars when the Diddy scandals broke, and was therefore unaware of most of them. The jail call that has made its way online sees Mariah the Scientist break down some of the harrowing Diddy allegations to her boyfriend. Thugger couldn’t believe it.

Mariah the Scientist immediately delves into the infamous video in which Diddy physically attacks Cassie in a hotel lobby. “It’s not just like a wrestle,” she explained. “He beat her up, for sure.” The singer goes on to recount the whole incident, and how Diddy chased after Cassie wearing only a towel. Mariah starts to giggle while emulating the way the Bad Boy mogul was running. “I’m not laughing, it’s not funny,” Mariah asserted. Young Thug is visibly taken aback by what Diddy did. “That n**ga tripping,” he remarked. The rapper asked if it was Diddy on the security footage, and Mariah the Scientist did not hesitate. “Definitely him,” she responded. “For sure, him.”

She relayed a rumor that Diddy tried to make Porter eat Cassie’s tampon, which drew a very puzzled look from Young Thug. “He on some other sh*t,” Mariah asserted. “If he did that he on some other sh*t.” Mariah also noted told Thug that the public was skeptical of Cassie’s claims of physical and emotional abuse until the hotel video was released.

The jail conversation between Mariah the Scientist and Young Thug is radically different than the other jail call that was leaked on Monday. The first involved the rapper and an Instagram model named Leena Sayed. Young Thug can he seen telling Sayed to move on from him and find love with someone else, and Sayed broke down in tears.

Dame Dash Puts Jay-Z On Blast For “F**king Up” Beanie Sigel’s Life

by

Dame Dash has been airing out all of his grievances with Jay-Z. The two men used to run Roc-A-Fella with an iron fist, but have had a severe falling out over the last two decades. Dame Dash has no problem using his ties with Hov and the rest of the Roc artists to stay in the pop culture conversation. Especially since Jay-Z’s reputation has come under fire in recent weeks. Dash recently called out the rapper for the way he treated former Roc-A-Fella signee Beanie Sigel.

Dame Dash claimed he did a lot to help Beanie Sigel’s career, and was bothered by the fact that Sigel chose to side with Jay-Z when Roc-A-Fella was falling apart. “That one hurt,” he admitted. “I did a lot. I chose State Property over Roc Wear.” Dash then claimed that Jay-Z “tricked” Beanie Sigel, and derailed what he felt was going to be a very promising career as a rapper. “It’s almost like [Jay] tricked Beans to shelf him,” Dash asserted. “He f*cked his life up, to me, doing that.” Dash went as far as to claim that Beanie Sigel was going to be his “new Jay,” but the old Jay made sure that it never came to fruition.
