And here comes the FOMO.  On Monday, Nicki Minaj took to Instagram and shared photos from a recent hang she and her husband, Kenneth Petty, had with Rihanna and ASAP Rocky. But stealing the show was Minaj and Petty’s son, who Nicki affectionately calls “Papa Bear.” “#RokNRiha #QueenRih #CaribbeanGirlsRunit Love her downnnnnnn #NewYorkShit #YKTFV,” Nicki captioned the post, which shows her […]

Beyoncé and Jay-Z recently appeared in a new campaign from Tiffany & Co. that featured a never-before-seen Basquiat original, and friends of the artist aren’t happy about it. In a new report from the Daily Beast, several close friends and collaborators of the late artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, who died in 1988, have spoken out against the campaign. […]

50 Cent came under fire Monday for an inconsiderate Instagram post where he appeared to use the tragic death of Michael K. Williams to promote his Starz series, Power Book III: Raising Kanan. “Damn if you didn’t see Raising Kanan check it out that fentanyl is no joke, killing the clientele. RIP michael k. williams,” 50 wrote in the deleted post. His […]

No I.D. welcomed a baby girl with wife Izabelle Pourreza Wilson last month.  Izabelle celebrated the one-month birthday of Aleah via Instagram, revealing her name means “high, exalted; God’s being” in Arabic or Persian. “This month has been pure heaven on earth,” she wrote. “I’m on my knees every day and night thanking God for allowing us to experience […]

It seems Pusha-T is still praying for Drizzy’s downfall. The Daytona rapper took to Twitter yesterday to like a tweet that noted Drake’s dwindling second-day streaming numbers for his new album Certified Lover Boy, which saw a notable decrease after an initial first-day rush shattered streaming records across the board. According to XXL, which broke down both rapper’s numbers, Drake saw a dramatic […]

A song making reference to and shouting out Nicki Minaj very nearly featured the hip-hop icon.  In a Twitter Spaces conversation with her Barbz on Sunday, Nicki opened up about being asked to take part in Doja Cat’s “Get Into It (Yuh),” and explained why the song wasn’t in her best interest. “The truth is, she asked me to […]

It’s official. Kanye West’s Donda has become his 10th No. 1 album on the Billboard 200.  The massive 27-track effort from Yeezy topped the chart with the biggest sales week of any album this year, earning 309,000 equivalent album units for the week ending Sept. 2, according to Billboard. These numbers include 357.4 million on-demand streams and 37,000 in […]

After Drake and Kanye West both dropped off their long-awaited albums, fans are anxiously awaiting for Kendrick Lamar to do the same. But after a new sighting, it appears that moment may arrive sooner than we think. The TDE rapper has apparently registered some new songs with ASCAP. The song titles include: “Before The Hangman’s Noose,” “Comfortable,” “Director,” “Fighter Thief […]

Chris Brown came through with receipts. On Saturday night, the 32-year-old artist took to Instagram to share the verse he supposedly wrote for Kanye West’s Donda album. Brown received a feature credit for the project’s 18th track, “New Again,” in which he assists Kanye on the chorus. However, Breezy claims he had a much bigger part on the song’s […]

Noah “40” Shebib is setting the record straight about a certain song from Drake’s new album Certified Lover Boy. The album, released on Friday, contains a song called “TSU.” The song has a sample of R. Kelly’s 1998 single “Half on a Baby.” Kelly is the only lyricist and composer credited for “Half on a […]
