Jada Pinkett Opens Up On Will Smith Slapping Chris Rock At The Oscar

Jada Pinkett Smith Will Smith’s wife, has finally addressed her husband’s controversial on-air smack of Chris Rock at the 2022 Academy Awards.

During the debut of her famous Facebook series Red Table Talk on Wednesday (June 1), Jada discussed the ordeal.

“This is a really important ‘Red Table Talk’ on alopecia,” Jada said. “Considering what I’ve been through with my own health and what happened at the Oscars, thousands have reached out to me with their stories. I’m using this moment to give our alopecia family an opportunity to talk about what it’s like to have this condition and to inform people about what alopecia actually is.”

She added, “Now about Oscar night, my deepest hope is that these two intelligent, capable men have an opportunity to heal, talk this out and reconcile. The state of the world today, we need them both. And we all actually need one another more than ever. Until then, Will and I are continuing to do what we have done for the last 28 years, and that’s keep figuring out this thing called life together. Thank you for listening.”

Will Smith assaulted comedian Chris Rock at the 94th Academy Awards when he referred to Jada as “G.I. Jane,” comparing her shaved head to the Demi Moore character from the 1997 film. However, after the slap, Jada’s husband requested Chris rock take “his wife’s name” out of his “fucking mouth.” Jada had been open about her struggle with alopecia, and the joke enraged him.

Lil Wayne Leaves Fan Confused After Appearing At Anita Baker’s Concert

Lil Wayne is one of the best rappers of all time, thus whenever he appears in public, followers will be stunned and want to get a snapshot of the Hip Hop legend. That happened recently, when the founder of Young Money went to see soul icon Anita Baker perform in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Weezy F Baby stood up and thanked the audience for the round of applause in a video published online, and Anita took a second out of her set to acknowledge him. One fan, in particular, couldn’t believe Lil Wayne was truly present in person.

The individual, who in dressed in a yellow t-shirt, stood up behind Wayne to express his admiration for the NOLA great. When the “A Milli” rapper turned around, the fan burst out laughing and took out his phone to record the happy moment.

During Anita Baker’s broadcast, Lil Wayne wasn’t the only one who got some love. Chance The Rapper received some praise after the singer thanked him for assisting her in obtaining her master recordings.

“You should say hello to a friend of mine by way of the music industry and by way of helping me, helping me to get a hold and ownership of my master recordings,” Baker said this while pointing to Chance, who rose up and thanked the audience for their yells and applause.

Cordae Demands Young Thug And Gunna’s Release Following YSL’s Indictment

Cordae is campaigning for the release of Young Thug, Gunna, and the other YSL members named in the group’s enormous 56-count indictment issued last month. On Wednesday, the rapper from From a Birds Eye View tweeted his support for YSL.

“Free the Whole YSL Family! They showed me more genuine love than damn near anybody!” In his first post, Cordae wrote.

He then added: “Protect Black Art! Also Using Lyrics against someone on trial is nuts! It’s a form of self expression that shouldn’t be used in a literal sense especially in a court of law!!!”

On May 9th, YSL’s 28 members were charged. Following a raid on Thug’s home, he was charged with conspiracy to violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) and participation in criminal street gang activity. Gunna is charged with one count of RICO conspiracy.

Several lyrics from songs by the musicians were part of evidence in the indictment. Several songs from YSL’s Slime Language 2 compilation album, due out in 2020, were among them, including “Take it to Trial,” “Ski,” and “Slatty.”

Cordae isn’t the only one who thinks rap lyrics should be used as proof. Bobby Shmurda supported a bill in New York that would limit their use in court.

The Game’s next studio album, Drillmatic, will be out in just a few weeks. Though he previously stated that Born 2 Rap would be his final album, the rapper has been hard at work with Hit-Boy, who acts as executive producer on the upcoming record.

On Tuesday night, the rapper posted some flashback images of himself and his son from the Documentary period to Instagram. The project will be split into two halves, Mind and Heart, according to the last slide of the post.

Following the release of Kendrick Lamar’s Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers, The Game sent roses to all of the rappers who have released albums this year, but claimed that his next project would be his best yet.

“I know my album gone be the best album of 2022 cause the energy feels like I just signed my deal. You’ve never heard me rap like this, I promise you,” he said. “When it drops, I promise you that if you put your ear to it you will then understand why I’m the best rapper alive. My controversy has always stepped on my greatness, but that’s all about to change. This album has a strong hold on being the best album of my career.”

On June 17th, The Game will release Drillmatic-Mind Vs. Heart.

Rick Ross Secures A $150K Deal With An Attendee At His Car Show

Rick Ross opened his 45,000-square-foot estate to guests during his first-ever car and bike show over two weeks ago. But one lucky fan in attendance recently received a major blessing.

Rick Ross paid a visit to a fan on Monday (May 30), and the Maybach Music Group CEO seemed to be in a charitable mood. The rapper wanted to buy a car from one of the attendees at his show, and the video shows him paying out $150,000 in cash, according to the caption on the official Rick Ross Car & Bike Show page on Instagram.

The individual known as 134coke was full of joy with the cash and claimed that he swapped sides when Rozay allegedly offered him a chain. 134coke spreads money all over the ground in another video.

“WHEN THE BOSS SAYS HE WANTS IT HE GOES AND GET IT!!! BIG SHOT TO @134coke ON SELLING HIS 1975 CHEVY IMPALA CONVERTIBLE TO THE BOSS @richforever,” the caption read. “NOTHING BUT LOVE!!!!! NETWORKING AT ITS BEST!!!! #305 #MMG #LLBB #LLNUT.”

Rick Ross’s car show was a hit, with rappers like Curren$y and other celebs showing off their low riders and classic rides, while others brought monster trucks, luxury cars, motorcycles, and more. The Biggest Bawse even brought out his personal vehicles, which included a fleet of candy red-painted older model cars.

Lil Uzi Vert Speaks On Jack Harlow's Success: "He Doesn't Have White Privilege"

Lil Uzi Vert Speaks On Jack Harlow’s Success: “He Doesn’t Have White Privilege”

Lil Uzi Vert Speaks On Jack Harlow’s Success: “He Doesn’t Have White Privilege”

Lil Uzi Vert doesn’t understand why many dislike Jack Harlow. Right now, Jack Harlow is in the driver’s seat. He became an obvious presence in mainstream culture just a few weeks after the release of his latest album, Come Home The Kids Miss You. Despite the fact that the album received some criticism, it’s clear that a few tracks are still getting a lot of airplay. Despite this, many people believe that Jack’s success is largely due to his race.

That does not appear to be the case for Lil Uzi Vert. Young Harleezy was recently featured on TMZ, and the Philadelphia rapper expressed his admiration for him. He called Louisville artist Jack Harlow “very good,” saying he doesn’t deserve the hate he’s getting. That’s when he was asked if Jack’s skin tone affects how he’s perceived by the general public.

“Nah, he doesn’t have white privilege,” Uzi stated. “Nah, he’s signed to Black people.”

Perhaps Uzi isn’t aware of the concept of white privilege, but his feelings about Jack Harlow have shifted over time. Uzi called Jack a clown after he signed to Generation Now during his feud with the company. However, it appears that the two have reconciled their differences.

DJ Khaled And Lil Baby Collaborate In The Studio On A "Special" Song

DJ Khaled And Lil Baby Collaborate In The Studio On A “Special” Song

DJ Khaled shared a photo of himself and Lil Baby on an Instagram post getting together in the studio to collaborate on new music. Khaled implies that he’s in “album mode” in the caption.

“They ain’t believe in us, @lilbaby did!!!!!! Lil baby did!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Khaled captioned the photos. “Album mode it’s special, VERY SPECIAL! @wethebestmusic SWIPE TO BE IN THE SESSION! Win wit us or watch us win! GOD DID! Bless up my brother @lilbaby ANOTHER ONE.”

Juicy J took notice of the post and commented on one of the images. “Dat mane rolling up I know dat song gone be fie.”

Khaled has previously stated that he is working on a new album. He made a similar message devoted to 21 Savage earlier this month on his social media platforms.

Khaled, who has twelve studio albums under his belt, recently declared that in a Verzuz fight, he would be unbeatable. A new record including Baby, 21 Savage, and others would undoubtedly strengthen his case.

“I really don’t see nobody. My catalog is super strong… I mean that with love,” On Trick Daddy’s cooking show, I Got My Pots, he said. “You might want to Google it… I’ve been doing this sh*t for two decades. Khaled got hits.”

Lil Durk Got Some New Tattoos That Pays Tribute To King Von And Brother DThang

Lil Durk Got Some New Tattoos That Pays Tribute To King Von And Brother DThang

Lil Durk Got Some New Tattoos That Pays Tribute To King Von And Brother DThang

Last night, Lil Durk posted to Instagram to show off some new tattoos he got from Los Angeles tattoo artist Ganga. Durkio’s back is now completely covered with a gorgeous skull with flocks of hair, which took eight painters and eight hours to complete. He also displayed some new modifications to his rear legs, including the word “Family” as an abbreviation for “For All Mine, I’ll Lay Yours,” “The Voice” beneath that, and a crossed-out rat on the other leg with the words “No Snitches Allowed.”

 Durk had “RIP King Von” and “RIP DThang” tatted on the front of his legs, with “Allahu Akbar” below DThang’s homage. The phrase means “God is bigger” in Arabic, and Lil Durk is a Muslim.

Given Lil Durk’s long-running dispute with 6ix9ine and his snitch behavior, the “no snitches” tattoo is particularly interesting. The complete back tattoo, on the other hand, has received a lot of praise, and artist Ganga documented the procedure on Instagram.

“Amazing whole back session in 8 hours for my bro @lildurk with my team @gangatattoola in @nopain.by.ganga

8tattoo artists in the same project we broke the record… The amazing team @joseecd @yeyo_tattoos @claytattoos@raphaelbarrostattoos @theparsetattoo @johanartss@neil.tattoo”

Lil Durk’s Front Leg Tattoos

Durk’s front leg tattoos are a memorial to King Von and DThang, two of Durk’s loved ones who unfortunately died. The “family” and “The Voice” tattoos, on the other hand, may be interpreted as another nod to them. In November of 2020, rapper King Von, a close associate of Lil Durk’s OTF crew, was tragically shot and killed in Atlanta. While Durkio had previously expressed appreciation to him, seeing such a remark written down is nonetheless profound. DThang, Lil Durk’s older brother and a member of his closest circle, was shot and died in Chicago in June of last year.

Kanye West And Vory Collaborates On Pusha T Approved 'Daylight'

Kanye West And Vory Collaborates On Pusha T Approved ‘Daylight’

Kanye West And Vory Collaborates On Pusha T Approved ‘Daylight’

Kanye West teams up with Donda collaborator Vory on his new single, “Daylight.” Kanye contributes a verse and handles the hook on the track, which was out on Tuesday (May 31) and features Ojivolta, 88-Keys, Ratatat’s Evan Mast, and Ye himself on production.

Vory’s debut album, Lost Souls, is expected to be out on Friday, and “Daylight” is set to appear on it (June 3). The song was previously featured on Kanye West’s Donda album’s early tracklists and was performed at one of the album’s Las Vegas listening parties.

On Monday (May 30), Pusha T came to Instagram Stories to compliment “Daylight” and Vory’s upcoming album.

“@vory You know #Daylight might still be my favorite song in the world,” he said. “can’t wait til the world here’s your album. Congrats.”

Vory appeared on Kanye West’s Donda album in August 2021 on the songs “No Child Left Behind” and “God Breathed,” as well as having his own song “Lord Lift Me Up” on Donda 2. Vory discussed his friendship with Kanye West and the development of “No Child Left Behind” in an interview with XXL magazine in November.

Vory Discussed His Relationship With Ye

“We understand each other,” Vory stated. “Our vibe is crazy, though. Even his childhood friends are like, ‘You would think y’all have known each other for years.’ With ‘No Child Left Behind,’ [Kanye] had an idea that was basically, ‘Never abandon your child.’ That’s what he was trying to run with, and so that was a whole different song. And then I was like, ‘Nah bro, say something [that] means the same thing, but it’s a different saying. More of a quote.’”

Kanye West advised him to avoid gimmicks in favor of developing a great discography that speaks for itself, he said.

“I was having a talk with Kanye and he was like, ‘Bro, it’s more powerful that way. You’re gaining a real fan base that way,’” he explained.
