After getting dropped from lineup after lineup over the last few weeks following his homophobic rant at Rolling Loud Miami, DaBaby still had a crowd to win over tonight at Hot 97’s Summer Jam.  And before he hit the stage to break into “Rockstar” Sunday night at Met Life, he had some backlash to address via […]

Tyler, the Creator sat down with Ebro Darden, Laura Stylez, and Peter Rosenberg on Hot 97 to discuss everything from getting “canceled” to his thoughts on the LOX vs. Dipset Verzuz.

Saweetie learned this the hard way and the moment still haunts her to this day.  During her April cover story […]

Fresh off the release of a new song from Marvel‘s Spider-Man: Miles Morales soundtrack, Jaden Smith joined Ebro Darden and Peter Rosenberg for a 30-minute chat on Hot 97 early Wednesday.

Busta Rhymes is convinced T.I. dodged a beatdown. During a Friday appearance on Hot 97’s Ebro in the Morning, Busta was asked about his proposed Verzuz battle with the ATL rapper. As you probably recall, Busta seemed pretty enthusastic about the face-off and suggested T.I.’s discography was no match for his. The Brooklyn-bred MC made the comments during a recent appearance The […]

T.I.‘s Crime Stoppers video haunts him like it’s Michael Myers and he’s a relative. Funkmaster Flex decided to make Tip relive this horror once again when he brought back the clip on Monday.
