On Saturday (May 11), the West Coast rap veteran jumped on Instagram to address the fact that Rozay has yet to respond. The Game alleged Ross, who clout shamed him in a series of social media posts, had gotten cold feet about releasing a diss he recorded. “The cereal killer [duck’n] this real smoke,” The Game wrote in the caption of the post. “Scared to drop that nursery rhyme you recorded the other night I see lol… F### it, a quick W for the…

The song is a tribute to his late brother, manager, mentor and friend Clay Evans, who died last year and had a significant influence on T.I.’s decades-long career.

T.I. recently expressed on social media, “What we built as a crew, will never be erased.” It’s been an eventful week for the multifaceted artist as he balances roles as a rapper, comedian and entrepreneur.

Drake’s Toronto home has once again been hit by another intruder. According to TMZ, security for the OVO Sound boss was forced to take down a man who tried to infiltrate the expansive property. An eyewitness said he was riding his bike by Drake’s home on Saturday (May 11), when he saw two of rapper’s security guards tackle a guy to the ground and placing a knee in the center of his back to prevent him from getting up.

Macklemore has been relatively quiet in 2024 but decided to drop a pro-Palestine anthem called “Hinds Hall” in the middle of the Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef. While many saw the song as opportunistic, others found it to be brave and exactly what people needed to hear in the midst of such a meritless topic—at least when it comes to global issues. But veteran Jewish rapper Matisyahu, who’s been proudly waving the Israeli flag throughout his career, thinks the song causes more trouble. Paparazzi caught up with Matisyahu in Los Angeles, where he gave his opinion on the entire situation.…
Tina Knowles has spoken about her twin grandchildren, Rumi and Sir, before their seventh birthday. Beyoncé mother, 70, has opened up about the pair for the first time. “Rumi is amazing, an amazing artist, painter and creator,” Tina Knowles told E! News. “How could they be anything else growing up in that environment? All we talk about is creativity and fashion. Sir is very quiet,” explaining he “does all of the numbers stuff, so he’s not into fashion as much.” Rumi recently appeared on Beyoncé’s COWBOY CARTER country-leaning album on the track “Protector,” which charted at No. 42 on the Billboard Hot 100. However, the children are rarely seen in public.…
Kendrick Lamar and Drake went head-to-head in one of the most publicized Hip-Hop battles in history. According to Top Dawg Entertainment CEO Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith, the lyrical fight has ended. “This battle is over. A win for the culture, while keeping it all on wax. Especially when these publications try to make it something else,” Top Dawg tweeted on Friday (May 10). The TDE founder continued, “We proved them wrong. That’s a victory within itself. On another note, it’s time to wrap up this TDE [20-year] anniversary compilation.” Kendrick Lamar dropped all five of his studio LPs via Top…
I have purposely avoided the rumors surrounding Kendrick Lamar and Drake. As you can imagine, rumors are flying left and right. I’m going to start off with the big one. There’s a rumor that Kendrick Lamar is about to drop a whole album in June, just in time for his Gemini birthday. That’s amazing, but it also flows into a rumor that I heard before Drake waved the white flag (in my opinion). And that rumor was that Kendrick Lamar and Pusha T were going to collaborate on a song, presumably dissing Drake. As you likely already know, Drake and…
