To say that DaBaby‘s BET Hip-Hop Awards experience didn’t go as planned, could very well be an understatement.  The Charlotte-native came into the night as the most nominated artist with 12—including two nods for Album of the Year. Yet, he failed to secure a win in any of the categories. This prompted fans to take to social […]

The annual BET Hip Hop Awards returned Tuesday night to recognize some of the best work and achievements within the genre.

To say comedian Amber Ruffin is confused by rappers supporting President Trump would be an understatement.  On Monday’s episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers, Ruffin admitted that she didn’t want to comment on rappers like 50 Cent and Waka Flocka Flame supporting the president because her comments would “go off the rails.” But, she threw caution […]

Juice WRLD‘s life ended way too soon due to his addiction and need to self-medicate.

Iggy Azalea took to IG to clarify earlier comments she made about her split from Playboi Carti. “What I mean last night was that I’m raising my son alone & I’m not in a relationship,” the In My Defense artist recently wrote. On Monday, Iggy clarified on IG that despite their break-up, Playboi has been present in their son Onyx’s life […]

Boosie Badazz made headlines earlier this year after his transphobic and homophobic comments about Dwyane Wade’s transgender child, Zaya Wade. Months later, however, the rapper had to stand on his words in front of the proverbial “Baddest Man on the Planet,” Mike Tyson.  Close to 10 minutes into Boosie’s appearance on Hotboxin’ With Mike Tyson, he pressed the rapper about why he takes […]

He even […]
