Janet Jackson Raises Fans’ Eyebrows By Posing With A Michael Jackson Impersonator

by

Janet Jackson continues to captivate audiences during her tour, but a particular meet and greet participant left many fans puzzled. Moreover, a picture went viral of her posing with someone impersonating her late brother Michael Jackson, which prompted some confused and pretty comical comments from social media users. “I’m sure she didn’t mind, but definitely was on her mind for the rest of the night [crying emoji] prolly still is,” one fan commented under the Instagram post below. Another added: “She better than me, I would have cursed him up down , in and out,” which was another popular sentiment in the comments section.

However, not everyone reacted to this negatively. “I think people forget that he was THEE Michael Jackson,” one user posited. “He’s paying homage. She’s definitely seen this numerous times… She’s obviously cool with it and seems flattered. Nothing negative to see here folks.” As such, maybe this Janet Jackson meet and greet isn’t anything to write home about, or at least was a very personal decision for her that some fans will understandably be in disagreement with. Regardless, you should definitely go to see her live if you get the chance, as viral clips of her working in Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” into her live set are just the tip of the iceberg.

Elsewhere, though, Janet Jackson and the rest of the family might have some financial worries to deal with. Recent reports emerged about the Internal Revenue Service freezing the Jackson estate’s funds due to a tax dispute. We don’t know exactly how much this is affecting the family or Janet specifically, but it seems like a very complex web. After all, the trust is worth an industrial boat-load of money.

Meanwhile, Janet Jackson seems to be living her life to the fullest right now and enjoying every step of the way. She also sparked some romance rumors with Q-Tip after a flirty Instagram birthday post, so she continues to be part of the rumor mill. Maybe nothing will come of this, or we’ll see some more viral meet and greet pics to distract us. Despite how differently each person would react to this situation, it’s not a decision or mentality for us to force on another.

DJ Screw And The Screwed Up Click Gave Us A 35-Minute Epic With “June 27”

by

DJ Screw is easily one of Houston’s most beloved legends. For those who may not know, Screw is the inventor of the “chopped & screwed” sound. Overall, he pioneered an entire scene and inspired artists like Travis Scott, Don Toliver, and many more. Furthermore, he helped found the Screwed Up Click. Sometimes, members of the group would come over to his house to record freestyles. On June 27, 1996, Big Moe, Key-C, Yungstar, Big Pokey, DeMo, Haircut Joe, and Kay-Luv helped record a 35-minute freestyle. Appropriately, the epic collaboration was called “June 27.”

Throughout the freestyle, we get DJ Screw’s signature production style. Slowed-down and syrupy instrumentals help bolster the freestyle’s seven-artist roster. Each MC brings their own flare to the song, but everyone is laidback which helps make the song feel like some sort of kickback. It’s a demonstration of what makes Houston hip-hop so special. Since today is June 27, everyone should be giving this a listen.

Let us know what you think of this epic freestyle, in the comments section down below. What are your favorite elements of Houston hip-hop?

Now we chilling, now we just leaning
And we coming up, finne pop up on the scene, and
Just got some drank from that boy with that Bird
And you know we just hooked up on some syrup
Now you know we gone, going real strong
I’m thinking riding far, I’m thinking riding long

On one of the most recent episodes of Ma$e and Cam’s It Is What It Is sports podcast, the famed former Bad Boy rapper claimed that the late Lamont “Big L” Coleman set him up multiple times to be robbed.

Once both members of the same crew, Children of Da Corn, Ma$e and Cam got into sa few heated debates after the “Feel So Good” rapper accused the Diggin In The Crates member of biting some of his lyrics.

“Me and L start talking and the conversation goes super left you know. Next thing I know, I’m in The Tunnel [a nightclub] and the n***a Fat Joe comes up to me,” he explained. The two rappers see each other, but Joe decided not to do anything because he had no issue with Mase. “A couple months later, we get into it about something. I think it was over a chick or something,” he continued. He then recalled buying ice cream for the block on 139th Street in Harlem while rocking his first Rolex watch. “I get around the corner on 140th and I walk up 140th on seventh to 141st and a Spanish n***a just run outta nowhere like, ‘Give it up. I’ma kill both of y’all n****s.’”

Check out MA$e’s interview about Big L HERE

Ma$e and former NBA star God Shammgod Wells took off from the robber after Ma$e dropped the Rolex. Shortly afterward, he learned it was Big L who set him up. 

Fat Joe previously discussed his side of the story during an interview with Angie Martinez on Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson in 2022. At the time, he explained that he didn’t realize the person Big L asked him for help beefing against was Mase, who he was friendly with. He admitted that Mase never trusted him afterward.

Killer Mike Will Reportedly Not Face Charges From His Peculiar 2024 Grammys Arrest, But There May Be A Catch

In February, Killer Mike scored three wins at the 2024 Grammys, but his celebration was interrupted. The Hollywood Reporter‘s Chris Gardner posted footage of Killer Mike being taken away in handcuffs, causing confusion and speculation as to why the Atlanta icon had been put in handcuffs. TMZ eventually reported Killer Mike was “booked for battery on a citizen’s arrest […] after he allegedly got physical with a security guard at the venue.” Shortly thereafter, Killer Mike’s lawyer confirmed to Variety that he had been released and “will be celebrating his sweep tonight.”

Now, Killer Mike can firmly put it all behind him.

On Wednesday, June 26, TMZ exclusively reported that Killer Mike won’t face any charges from the peculiar incident.

“Prosecutors in the L.A. City Attorney’s Office tell us they will not be filing charges against Mike for his confrontation with an event security guard, back in February, which led to his citizen’s arrest,” TMZ relayed. “We’re told he successfully completed his city attorney hearing … after which he agreed to do some community service with a non-profit organization of his choice. That said, the City Attorney’s Office added the Grammy winner needs to stay out of trouble for the next year, or they could reopen the case.”

One week after the 2024 Grammys, Killer Mike appeared on The View and downplayed his arrest, as seen in the clip below.

Sexyy Red Reveals Chief Keef And Kayla B Drama Was Simply A Genius Promotional Tactic

by

Sexyy Red is clearly handling her massive success quite well, inviting controversy and speculation to further her own rollout goals and image. Moreover, you might have heard that she and Kayla B (King Von’s sister) got into some salacious social media spats over Chief Keef, being that both of them claimed to be romantically involved with him. However, it looks like all that (at least, on Sexyy’s behalf) was just for show, as she recently previewed a Maury-parodying music video for her remix collab with Sosa, “Bow Bow Bow (F My Baby Mama).” It’s a reimagining of her original hit, “Bow Bow Bow (F My Baby Dad).”

Furthermore, it seems like all the Internet attacks and jokes about polyamory were just that: jokes and antics to get us invested. It’s a pretty smart scheme, albeit one that risked actually driving a wedge in between Sexyy Red, Chief Keef, and Kayla B. But we’re sure that the music video will at least be a pretty comical and entertaining visual treatment, so all’s well that ends well. We just hope that King Von’s sister got the memo and that they’re all a part of this together. If they’re not, that’s when things could really get messy.

Regardless, Sexyy Red is also going on tour soon, so she’s understandably got a lot to promote and move with. However, this provided a pretty stark contrast compared to how other celebrities in the rap game choose to handle their extracurricular antics and headlines. While other artists seem more comfortable with keeping that drama at arm’s length of their art and career, the St. Louis native knows the strength of using both in tandem. It hasn’t always been a successful experiment, but it’s been much better than many predicted.

Meanwhile, the “N.P.O.” MC has a lot more to look forward to this year. Maybe she’s actually pregnant again as she teased with this music video snippet, but at this point, who knows? Nevertheless, Sexyy Red definitely has a great marketing team behind her, or this was just the stars aligning and blessing her with an extra boost. As long as she can capitalize on that, then she’ll handle future antics as swimmingly as this one.

Megan Thee Stallion Reveals Last Minute Album Issues Over Anime Sample Clearance

by

Megan Thee Stallion is going through an exciting time right now. Overall, she is in the midst of a massive tour that has brought about tens of thousands of fans. Furthermore, she is going to be releasing a new album on Friday called Megan. Fans have been incredibly excited about this new project, especially since she has had dropped some dope singles. For instance, “Hiss” was a number-one record earlier in the year, mostly thanks to the feud it sparked with Nicki Minaj.

In the tracklist for this new album, fans were intrigued by a song that features an anime sample. Of course, Meg is a huge anime fan, so it comes as no surprise she would do something like this. Unfortunately, there have been some massive last-minute clearance issues. For instance, on Wednesday night, Meg revealed that the show’s creators emailed her telling her that she had to take out the names of the characters from her verse. It was either that, or she wouldn’t get the sample itself, at all. Knowing that the sample was important to her, Meg sprung into action and re-recorded the verse.

Considering the fact that she is on tour right now, none of this was ideal. It was completely last minute and certainly put the artist’s album at risk.

Numerous artists bring make-shift studios with them on the road, and now you can see why that’s so important.
