Uncle Murda's "Rap Up 2020" Gets Personal

Uncle Murda is back with a wrap up of 2020. Titled "Rap Up 2020," the track takes a turn away from his normal routine. In the past, Uncle Murda has run down a list of all the events that took place over the year. In a year like 2020, where the social commentary from celebrities and media was at an all-time high, Murda decided to take a different route. 

"Rap Up 2020" finds Uncle Murda rapping about his own year, and the things he went through personally. He even reminisces a bit. Things get deep as he touches on family, COVID-19, deals gone wrong, and more. The instrumental is comprised of a gorgeously sampled singing woman over beautiful piano keys. The sweet croon of the vocals gives the lyrics an extra gut-punch. 

Quotable Lyrics
At that point in my life my attitude was "fuck everything"
The streets proposed to me, I accepted the wedding ring
These all facts, these ain't lies
This is back when the three best MC's out was Biggie, Jay-Z, and Nas

Bun B & LE$ Drop Off Collab EP "Distant"

Bun B's hustle doesn't stop. He just hopped on "Pistol" with Tone Nwigwe andCyHi The Prynce and DJ KaySlay's Rolling 50 Deep, while also peppering 2020 with a slew of more music in the form of features. Bun has been missing on the album and EP game since 2019 when he dropped Bun B Day.

Now, the veteran is starting off the new year with a collaborative EP alongside Houston rapper LE$. The six-track EP is a brief and sweet piece of art. Le$ shows off with his different flows while Bun B just sits back and bosses things up. 

Tracks like "Maintain" and "Distant" are really stand out records that have high replay value. Bun already has a pretty large catalog, and was recently involved in a conversation about entering a Verzuz battle against Outkast. "My conversation with Swizz [Beatz] was about UGK Verzuz 8Ball & MJG. It's the people that are now asking for UGK and OutKast, right," he responded to fans pushing for the battle. Until then, enjoy the latest project from Bun B and LE$

Tony Hawk Shares Hilarious Story About His COVID-19 Test

Tony Hawk was once known for skating, but is now known for sharing funny stories about his everyday life. Now that he is not spending all his time as an extreme sports athlete, Hawk is being a father and regular guy. The regular guy part is what usually makes his stories even funnier. One again, we were treated to a great moment from the life of Mr. Hawk when he shared a funny story on Twitter. 

"At a Covid testing site (wearing masks), handing over paperwork for me & two of my kids: woman looking over paper: 'okay... Anthony, Keegan and Kadence... Hawk? Are you guys related to Tony Hawk?'" Hawk tweeted. Once he answered yes, the worker asked... "'Are you pulling my leg?'" Hawk then replied "'No, we are all directly related to him.'"

The end of the story is somewhat anticlimactic though. When asked what happened, Hawk replied, "She pointed us towards our “swabber” and that was it. True story. Oh, and we were all negative." The regular guy adventures of Tony Hawk doesn't make for a great video game compared to skating, but it sure is good for a few laughs around the holidays.

Eminem Discusses Snoop Dogg Argument & Rihanna Apology On "Zeus"

The recent back and forth between Eminem and Snoop Dogg has been interesting to say the least. It all began when Snoop went on The Breakfast Club and stated that he didn't believe Eminem belonged on the list of best rappers of all time. This spurred some debate and fallout between Snoop and Eminem fans, who once believed they were in the same camp. Snoop's words earned him a response from Eminem on the song "Zeus." "Last thing I need is Snoop doggin' me/Man, Dogg, you was like a damn god to me/Nah, not really/I had 'dog' backwards," raps Em on the track. Snoop seemed to fire back, and the issue has yet to be resolved. 

Eminem recently hopped on Shade 45 radio to do a breakdown of the songs on his new album Songs To Be Murdered By: Side B. During the conversation, he touched on his Snoop lyrics. 

"Everything he said, by the way, was fine, up to a point," Em explained on Shade 45. "Him saying Dre made the best version of me, absolutely, why would I have a problem with that? Would I be here without Dre? Fuck no, I wouldn’t. The rappers he mentioned from the ‘90s—KRS One, Big Daddy Kane, [Kool] G Rap—I’ve never said I could fuck with them."

"I think it was more about the tone he was using that caught me off-guard ‘cause I'm like, where is this coming from? I just saw you, what the fuck? It threw me for a loop," Em continued. "I probably could've gotten past the whole tone and everything, but it was the last statement where he said, 'Far as music I can live without, I can live without that shit.' Now you’re being disrespectful. It just caught me off-guard."

He also touches on his apology to Rihanna, which occurs in the same song. The story behind the leaked Rihanna "diss," in which Em sides with Chris Brown over the case of assault, is that Em recorded the verse while he was working on Relapse in 2009. He claims that he was just trying to throw anything on a verse.  "Honest to God, I told Paul this when it first happened," he begins. "First, I don’t know how somebody got it. Second of all, I have zero recollection of even remembering doing that verse. Like, the rhyme schemes didn’t even sound familiar to me, so I was caught off-guard." Still, he owned up to his mistake.  "I'm not making excuses for it. I said it, and I was wrong for saying it. It was fucking stupid," Em declared.

Yaya Boldly Claims Yo Gotti After Hater Brings Up His Angela Simmons Obsession

Yo Gotti's love for Angela Simmons is no secret by any means. The rapper has been shooting his shot for some time now, hoping to slowly chip away at her resolve. However, Gotti found him another queen to settle down with. He started dating  Yaya, who famously dated Floyd Mayweather and Gervonta Davis prior to him. The relationship sparked some unwanted attention at first, although (as with most things) people warmed up to the idea over time. 

Nobody has forgotten about Gotti's love for Simmons, but one person on social media decided to bring up the situation in the wrong place. Yaya posted a picture of herself and Gotti, looking regal as ever. "Happy New Year 2020. I'm looking forward to this year and many more with you," wrote Yaya on the post. "I thought he had a crush on Angela," wrote one random hater on the picture. Yaya had time for a response, because she snapped back with "NOT NO MOE!!!" 

 It was a good holiday season for Yo Gotti, who bought himself a new Rolls Royce the holidays. On top of losing 40lbs and dropping new music, it looks like Gotti is overall having a good year in the midst of the madness.

Lil Baby Gifts Jayda Cheaves A Massive Diamond Chain

Lil Baby and Jayda Cheaves have been through a lot this past year although it seems as though there is love is so strong that nothing can really break them apart. Of course, many of the rough moments have come over the past month as the rapper has been accused of cheating on his woman with various porn stars. Even Teanna Trump joined in on the drama last week as she alleged that she has been with the My Turn artist.

Despite all of this, Cheaves and Lil Baby are still a couple, and this past week, Baby made sure to come through with a big gift for his boo. As you can see in the Instagram post below, Lil Baby gifted Jayda a massive diamond chain that has her name on it. 

The thing is simply huge and we can only imagine what a gift like this must have cost him. These diamond chains are no joke especially when they are of such a big size. Of course, Christmas was just last week so it makes sense that Baby would have planned such a massive gift.

Hopefully, these two have patched things up and can keep going strong in the new year.

Jada Pinkett Smith Blesses The Gram With A Bikini Clad Message For The New Year

Jada Pinkett Smith may be conservative with her money, but she's a little looser with her fashion. The multi-talented artist took to Instagram on New Year's Eve to give her fans and followers well wishes and words of wisdom. Her post features a picture of the singer and actress in a blue bikini while laying on the beach. The weather looks serene, so either Jada is on vacation, or she's giving us taste of a past adventure. 

"I welcome you 2021 with open arms," reads the post. "I have no expectations. I’m going to be still and grateful" It seems everyone is hopeful for a better 2021 than 2020. Jada's wrist is dripped in diamond bracelets in the pictures, while she also rocks a necklace with a golden ankh pendant. 

Jada loves to show off what God gave her, but she recently also supported her daughter Willow for doing the same. Willow was featured in Rihanna's Fenty fashion show this year, which had a unique vibe. The fashion show also showcases as a performance set for some artists, while other celebrities make guest appearances to rock the clothes. "You really stepped into your womanhood this year and you showed the world your transformation during your Fenty strut," Jada stated of her daughter's lingerie debut.

Samuel Little, FBI's Most Prolific Serial Killer In History, Dead At 80

Serial killers often have a few bodies under their belt. Then, there is Samuel Little. Little has been called the most prolific serial killer in American history by the FBI. He operated over decades, slaughtering innocent people

Little passed away yesterday (Dec. 30) at the age of 80. Little's death was first reported by a law enforcement source, and was then later verified by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation in a press release.

"An official cause of death will be determined by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office," reads the report. Little was serving three consecutive life-without-parole sentences in Los Angeles for the strangulation of three women in the 80s. DNA evidence is what caught him, but it wasn't until 2014 that he was convicted. He then confessed to 93 murders, with over half of them being confirmed by the FBI. This would place his body count at more than Ted Bundy and Jeffrey Dahmer combined. Many of his victims were thought to be overdoses at first, and some of the later ones have never been found. He often preyed on women he thought were vulnerable, such as sex workers, who would not be as heavily investigated by police.

Nike Air Force 1 Low "Dark Teal Green" Coming Soon: Photos

Over the last few decades, no shoe has been as classic and as iconic as the Nike Air Force 1 Low. It's a shoe that can be worn for almost any occasion and it never really gets old. There are two main colorways that fans always seem to gravitate towards. Of course, we are talking about the triple-white and triple-black models. While these are both undeniably classic in their own right, Nike is always looking to bring out something new and unique.

The latest Nike Air Force 1 Low to be shown off is in this gorgeous "Dark Teal Green" model which features some hues that will work very well in the Spring and the Fall. As you can see from the official images below, the shoe has a white leather upper all while the Nike swoosh is dark teal. From there, the Nike Air branding on the tongue and the heal is pink, which makes for some nice contrasting colors.

These are expected to drop sometime in 2021, so if you want to get your hands on a pair, be sure to keep an eye out at your local sneaker shop. In the meantime, let us know what you think of these, in the comments below.

"The Office" Is Leaving Netflix In 2021: Here's Where To Find It

The Office is leaving Netflix for good once the clock hits midnight on January 1st, 2021. While some people have opted to start a streaming marathon earlier in the month to arrive at the finale just in time for New Year's Eve, others are frantically worrying where they can find the popular office mockumentary. 

The streaming wars continue to grow as Netflix will lose one of its top-performing series. Of course, something as popular as The Office isn't going anywhere. Michael Scott and the crew are just finding a new streaming home. Starting in the new year, The Office will be available to stream on Peacock, NBCUniversal's new streaming service. 

Peacock will have the first two seasons of The Office, with ads, available to watch for free. However, to watch seasons 3 through 9, consumers will need to subscribe to one of Peacock's two paid tiers. Peacock Premium tier 2 offers the streaming service's full catalog with ads for $4.99 a month (or $49.99 a year). Peacock Premium tier 2 has no commercials for $9.99 a month (or $99.99 a year). A free 7-day trial exists for both tiers.

Peacock Premium also includes something called "Superfan Episodes" for The Office. These episodes will be extended and have never before seen footage.

Armed Forces Bowl Devolves Into Massive On-Field Fight

Sports can get pretty testy at times although usually, players are able to set aside their differences in the name of sportsmanship. This leads to the players shaking hands after the game and acknowledging that as brutal as it gets in the match itself, everyone respects each other for the effort that was shown. Other times, however, both teams have so much bad blood that it boils over into a complete mess that can't be stopped no matter how much the officials try to interfere.

That is exactly what happened this afternoon as Tulsa took on Mississippi State in the Armed Forces Bowl. Mississippi State won the game 28-26 although, at the end of the match, both teams got into a bench-clearing brawl that featured some pretty brutal scenes. In fact, one player was kicked in the head while on the ground, with the opposing player running from the scene. As you can see in the videos below, it was a pretty unhinged event.

The bad blood had been simmering all game as both sides got into a bit of an altercation before the game even took place. It's unclear as to why it all went down, but still, it's a bad look for the NCAA.

Many are calling for the players and coaches to be suspended, which is surely bound to happen once the NCAA has time to review all of the facts.

Tom Brady Delivers Humorous Rob Gronkowski Impression

When you think of some of the best duos in NFL history, Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski need to be at the top of the list. The two have shared the field for about 10 years now and in that time, both players have won three Super Bowl titles together. Gronk has also cemented himself as one of the best tight ends of all-time all while Brady is considered the best quarterback in the entire history of the NFL.

This year, the two have been reunited in Tampa Bay and they are about to embark on yet another playoff journey together. More recently, however, Brady decided to offer up his best impression of Gronk while talking about a recent workout they had together. As Brady noted, Gronk was about to do a photo shoot, and the workout helped give him some confidence.

The impression itself was pretty humorous as Brady gets into his lower register and delivers this exaggerated dude-bro voice that is unmistakeably Gronk's. The infamous tight end has been known to present himself as the stereotypical jock and after 10 years together, Brady has gotten the voice down pretty well.

Moving forward, perhaps these two will be in for a fourth title together, which would certainly make their partnership that much more legendary.

Dax Undergoes Heart Removal For "I Don't Want Another Sorry" Video With Trippie Redd

Ottawa, Canada native Dax has been around for years but recently, he's become quite the polarizing figure on social media. It's not uncommon for Dax to earn tons of impressions on his new music releases with people rushing to clown the rapper, deeming him "corny" and alleging that he pays for influencer promotion. Dax has fought off the hate by doing what he does best: getting out his emotions in the studio.

The rapper continues to release music, catering to his fanbase that loves his emotional records, including his latest "I Don't Want Another Sorry" with Trippie Redd.

The song and video are officially out now, featuring Dax undergoing heart removal surgery in order to not care as much in his next relationship. A little cheesy? That's for you to judge, but you can't deny that he's caught a lot of attention in the last few months.

What do you think of Dax's new single "I Don't Want Another Sorry" with Trippie Redd? Watch the video below.

Quotable Lyrics:

Two wrongs don't make a right, I turn left
Now you mad I don't pick up, I don't return texts
Like I'm supposed to let it slide, what? And just forget
That you destroyed everything we had, what, just for sex?
F*ck that, I'm angry, I'm depressed, and I'm mad
Reminiscing over days, livin' life in the past
How'd you do that sh*t? Was I really that bad?
I even let you stay, I even let you meet my dad

Conway The Machine Sounds Different In Pre-Shooting Freestyle

Conway The Machine was shot in the back of his head in 2012, but the rapper powered through and recovered, grinding until he became one of rap's favorite lyricists eight years later. The shooting left him with Bell's palsy, which paralyzed the right side of his face. The 38-year-old has obviously overcome a lot of obstacles in his career and looking back at an old video of him freestyling in the street, you'll see just how far he's come, but you'll also realize that Conway had already developed an insane skill for rapping.

RapCaviar recently shared a video of Conway The Machine completely going off in a casual freestyle before his shooting incident, in which he confidently delivers bar-after-bar with distinctive wordplay. Many are pointing out that this is the first time they've seen Conway pre-Bell's palsy, and although that's not the case for everybody, it's wild to consider how Conway was able to overcome his paralysis and become one of rap's favored emcees over the years.

Steven Ferdman/Getty Images

Recently, Conway has been opening up about the shooting incident that left him paralyzed, telling The Atlantic: "I don’t feel like I’m disfigured or none of that, but when you gotta look at yourself in the mirror and you know that you don’t look the same or your kids gotta see you don’t look the same and your momma gotta see you like that, it definitely takes a toll and it’s like a war in your mind. In my mind it was like, ‘Man, I don’t even want people to see me like this.’ The mental part of it was harder than the physical. I had to re-calibrate [after the shooting]. I had to strengthen my mind before I could strengthen my body. I lost it for a minute. Mentally I just wasn’t in a good space."

Watch the video of Conway doing his thing pre-2012 above.

Megan Thee Stallion Shows Off Her Body-ody-ody In Tiny Bikini

You can't just release a confident anthem like "Body" without actually serving the goods, so it's a good thing that Megan Thee Stallion can actually back her talk. As she continues to rise to the superstar level, Megan has embraced her status as one of the most body-positive artists out, encouraging women to love themselves regardless of how they look. Her most recent hit single "Body" features the self-proclaimed Hot Girl presenting her favorite assets, which include her curvy, wavy body and her little waist. 

With this being the final day of the year, Megan decided to keep us all anxiously awaiting her next moves in 2021, leaving her followers with one last photo dump, showing off her curves for the camera.

"When it comes to body nobody bodying me," wrote Megan on Twitter, sharing a bunch of shots of herself in a tiny color-blocked bikini. Her comments are a mess, with people rushing to shoot their shot before year's end and others poking fun at her numerous controversies in the past year.

Megan has been watching her debut album Good News perform extremely well over the last few weeks, watching several songs take off, including "Body" and "Cry Baby" with DaBaby, which has incited a twerk challenge on social media that Mulatto, Reginae Carter, and countless others have participated in.

Do you think Megan Thee Stallion has the body category locked down?

Young Buck Reveals Why 50 Cent Kicked Him Out Of G-Unit

DJ Vlad has said that he believes his latest interview with Young Buck is one of his best yet, and it's very clear why he's so proud of this one, in particular. The rapper opens up to a whole other level about all of the drama that has followed him through his G-Unit days to today, and he's dissecting why things happened the way they did, explaining in the latest clip why he was eventually booted out of G-Unit.

Young Buck, who was recently announced to be working on a collaborative project with DJ Paul, divulged that after he had spoken out about never receiving a royalty check in his entire career, clarifying that his money was earned solely from shows, 50 Cent was fed up, pulled a fit, and kicked him out of the collective.

Thaddaeus McAdams/WireImage/Getty Images

"We were six months into the situation of getting back together and out of nowhere, this interview comes out and it was one of those interviews where, prior to us getting back together, I had spoken on me not receiving any publishing, never seeing a royalty check in my career," said Young Buck. "Everything I done done has been off shows. Well, that was the big and bold headline and it came across 50's desk. He immediately took this at a place of-- to this day, I know why now but, at the time, he reacted to that so f*cked up that Sha Money was like, 'Yo, we gotta fix this, bro, 50's tripping out over this.' And I'm like, 'Well, Sha, how can I fix it? It's the truth, I ain't never seen a royalty check.' He's like, 'Yeah I know but we gotta fix it.'"

That was when Sha Money went forward and claimed publicly that Young Buck had made over $10 million in his career, which is an amount that bewildered Buck at first but ended up making sense to him later, as he now knows that's around the number he should have netted.

David Becker/Getty Images

"He was just saying these numbers that I thought were astronomical. Man, I ain't seen no $10 million," added Buck. He says that Fif really grabbed onto that $10 million claim and, to this day, he'll use it against Buck, trying to make it appear as though Buck has blown that money over his career. "I never received or made $10 million within my career with G-Unit," says Buck. "Those were numbers that were basically accumulated from Sha Money trying to protect the situation from [50] having an actual fit based on me speaking about me not seeing money like that or ever receiving a royalty check. From there, 50 didn't feel like the effort was good enough, so probably a couple of days after Sha was trying to help clear the situation up, 50 goes again on Hot 97, one of the biggest radio platforms in the world, and immediately says, 'Buck's kicked out of G-Unit.'"

Something tells me 50 Cent is going to have something to say about this story, so let's keep an eye on his social media accounts today because this feels like the sort of thing he'd definitely want to address.

Lil Reese Leaves $20K+ In Uber, Driver Returns Money

Many know the heart-dropping experience of accidentally leaving a personal item in an Uber or Lyft after we've exited. Most of the time people have left behind their cellphone or wallet, but Lil Reese recently shared that he'd hopped out of an Uber while his $20,000 rode off with the driver. It's common for drivers to return to drop-off locations to give the items back to their rightful owners, but with that much cash at stake, Reese counted it as a loss. He was wrong.

The rapper posted his experience to social media and initially posted to his Instagram Story that he was upset after realizing he'd lost the cash. "Can't believe I just left $20K plus in Uber bro," the rapper wrote. Hours later he followed up with a positive update. "He brong that 20K plus back f*ck yall mean."

It's unknown if Lil Reese rewarded the driver for his efforts, but the public has made it clear that they wouldn't have been so conscientious. Many people commented that they would have run off with the cash as quickly as possible, but obviously, the Uber driver wanted that five-star rating. Check out a few reactions below and let us know if you would have returned the money.

Lori Harvey & Michael B. Jordan Spotted Exiting Plane In Utah Ahead Of NYE

She's not one to confirm or deny her romantic relationships, but the rumors about Lori Harvey and Michael B. Jordan intensify. The pair were reportedly spotted traveling together just ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday as paparazzi spotted them exiting a plane after touching down in Atlanta. Fans speculated that they would be spending time together with the Harveys as Lori, her mother, and her stepfather Steve Harvey all live in the city.

Recently, a fan asked Harvey to share a photo of the person she's dating to which the model delivered a selfie where she's seen rolling her eyes. Lori may not have much to say about her dating life, but the cameras continue to follow. On Wednesday (December 30), Harvey and Jordan were seen together once again, and much like their previous pictures, the pair were seen making their way out of an airliner, this time after landing in Utah.

Both Harvey and Jordan have been particularly private about the personal lives in the past, so it isn't expected that they'll be divulging whether or not they have a budding romance. It was just months ago that Harvey was linked to Future, but he seems to have moved on as well as he and rapper-model Dess Dior have been enjoying their time together.

Will.i.Am Says "It Hurts" That Black Eyed Pease Aren't "Considered A Black Group"

They are one of the most celebrated groups in Pop and Hip Hop circles, but will.i.am has one issue with the overall acceptance of the Black Eyed Peas. Current members include will.i.am, apl.de.ap, Taboo, and J. Rey Soul, but prior to the latter adding her vocals to the collective, singer Fergie held down that position. In a recent conversation with Wyclef Jean on Run That Back, will.i.am discussed his disappointment with the Black Eyed Peas not being celebrated as a Black group and examined why that possibly isn't widely accepted.

“In 2004, Black Eyed Peas we, we were just trying to get on. When you think of—like, I’m a Black dude but when you think of Black Eyed Peas, we go so big that...and it hurts, it still hurts a little bit that we’re not considered a Black group because we got that big,” said will.i.am. “And when you think of Black Eyed Peas, you don’t think of—it’s no longer urban or Black culture, which is...it's not good for the black community that Black Eyed Peas is not looked at as a Black group because we had international success."

"That should be credited to the Black community more so than letting it be adopted," he added before listing various genres that Black people once dominated but now have little presence. "That's just a thing that we suffer from all the time. When you think of Jazz, you no longer think of Black anymore. When you think of Rock n' Roll, you don't think of Black anymore. All that, I don't know why we have that. When you think of even country, you don't think of Black. A lot of the things that we create and we invent, we dispose of or it gets stolen from us to the point where it's not associated to its origins."

Watch the interview below and let us know if you think the Black Eyed Peas should don the "Black group" title.

Kylie Jenner Granted Restraining Order Against Stalker Who Patrols Her Neighborhood

As celebrities remain targets for thieves and criminals, many who live their lives in the public eye are looking to increase their security efforts. In the rap industry alone, over one dozen violent deaths and assaults have occurred in 2020, causing famous figures to reevaluate their social circles and movements. Others in the entertainment industry have been harassed as well, and Kylie Jenner has taken legal steps to keep herself and her loved ones safe.

It's being reported by TMZ that three weeks ago, the cosmetics mogul filed a restraining order against a man named Justin Berquist. According to the report, Jenner claimed that Berquist has been continuously sneaking into her gated, exclusive neighborhood searching for her. Legal documents state that Berquist has repeatedly been spotted by residents, even once fleeing on foot when one of Jenner's neighbors saw him. Jenner alleged that Berquist is so determined to meet her that he told security that he was at the location to see Kylie and made it to her neighborhood only to have been caught after walking into the wrong home.

Jenner was able to track down information about her stalker and reportedly wrote in the legal documents that Berquist has traveled from North Dakota to track her down. The reality star claimed that she doesn't know who he is and has never met him before. She was granted a restraining order on Wednesday (December 30) and it states that Berquist must remain at least 100 yards away from Jenner.

Kobe Bryant's Daughter Natalia Gives Heartfelt Advice To Those Who Are Struggling

The Bryants suffered a devastating loss after both Kobe Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter died in a tragic helicopter crash at the top of the year alongside seven others. Since that time, the basketball icon's widow Vanessa has been sharing portions of her life with the public as she raises their daughters Natalia, Bianka, and Capri. The eldest, Natalia, shared a few thoughts on Instagram after she allowed her followers to interact with her through her Story. In one slide, the teen dropped off a bit of advice for those who may be struggling through difficult times.

"I wasn't going to do this one, but thought it was important to share because you never know when someone is going through problems of their own," the 17-year-old wrote over a smiling picture of herself. She was asked to share a photo where she was at her lowest. "I genuinely think that it is so important to find your close circle of trusted people and be able to vocalize your feelings to them when you are ever down or not feeling like yourself."

"This is also a lot easier said than done but just know that you are never alone," Natalia continued. "This is something I have learned throughout this year and still continue to work at with the help of close family and friends." She ended her inspirational message with a red heart emoji. Check out the heartfelt post below.

Diddy Hosted A Massive Giveaway But Woman Complains She Only Received Gift Bag

After announcing that he would be in the Overtown neighborhood of Miami, thousands of people swarmed the House of Wings, a counter-serve restaurant, to meet Diddy. The rap mogul wasn't there for a meet-and-greet; Diddy and his Sean Combs Foundation partnered with the non-profit Teens Exercising Extraordinary Success to help distribute aid to those in need during the pandemic. There has been discouraging news for many families regarding financial assistance from the government, so Diddy decided to move things along and to help however he could.

Donning a face shield and gloves, Diddy personally gave out $50 bills to residents who stood in line for hours just to have a brief interaction with the Hip Hop star. Others in his entourage helped distribute gift cards, gift bags, and hygiene products to people waiting in the crowd, and additionally, 175 families were reportedly able to get their rent paid courtesy of the Foundation and TEES. 

However, Latarcia Brown spoke with a local news station and complained that while it was made to look as if everyone went home with money, she didn't receive help. Brown did receive a gift bag from the giveaway, but she was disappointed with the contents. "SweeTARTS, my husband eats sweets," she told reporters. "Coloring book, toothpaste, crayons. No gift card, no rent paid."

The grandmother reportedly has a full house as she lives with her granddaughter and her two elderly parents. Brown claimed that she was given a gift bag before Combs even made it to the location, and after looking inside and seeing that she didn't have a gift card, she complained to one of the organizers. After that, she was asked to move along. "The lady told me if you got a gift bag you need to go,” Brown said.

Brown, who reportedly stated that she is in dire need of financial help, believes she should have been told that not everyone who attended the event would receive help. Local activists and community leaders praised Diddy and his Foundation for their efforts. Organizers shared with reporters that it wasn't intentional for people to feel left out.

Joyner Lucas Clowns Benzino, Claims The "LHHH" Star Wanted "Verzuz" Battle

The back and forth between Royce Da 5'9" and Benzino right before the turn of the new year wasn't on our 2020 Bingo Card, yet, here we are. Benzino has reignited his longstanding beef with Eminem by delivering a few more scathing remarks about the Detroit emcee, and Em's good friend Royce has stepped in to shut Benzino down. What resulted was the Love & Hip Hop star challenging Royce Da 5'9" to a Verzuz battle, causing Royce to issue a blistering response.

There were several celebrities and influencers who shared their opinions about Benzino's Verzuz request in a post on Royce's Instagram Page. Rihanna commented a facepalm emoji, Smoke DZA shared multiple crying emojis, and Van Lathan told Benzino to "know your limits." It seems that Royce wasn't the only artist that Benzino wanted Verzuz smoke with, because Joyner Lucas chimed in that the reality star hit him up, as well.

"Man dis clown tried to inbox me a few months ago tryna VERZUS battle me too," Lucas wrote along with a crying emoji. "Idk what nursing home he escaped from but they needa find him and bring him back ASAP." It doesn't look like Benzino is matching up with the artists he apparently wants.

French Montana & Kash Doll Fuel Dating Rumors Following Flirtatious IG Exchange

He has a new outlook on life, he's flexing a new body after going sober, and some believe that French Montana has a new lady in his life. The rapper has been making major changes ever since he was hit with health issues that scared him straight. In November 2019, French Montana was rushed to the hospital to treat nausea, an elevated heart rate, and stomach pain. Since that time, he's spoken openly about living a healthy, sober life and turning over a new leaf, and a little flirtation on Instagram with rapper Kash Doll left fans questioning the true nature of their relationship.

Over on Instagram, French was once again showing off his abs.  The rapper has been hit with accusations that he spray-painted his body to make his muscles more prominent—a rumor that he's denied. "DON’T COUNT THE DAYS MAKE THE DAYS COUNT," he stated in the caption to his post. Detroit artist Kash Doll slid in his comments and wrote, "I land at 6 babe," completing her message with a heart eyes emoji.

The remark wasn't missed by French Montana who in turn replied, "@kashdoll On my way juheardd." Fans began to weigh in with their opinions about these two and it seemed to be a mixed bag. There were rumors months ago that Kash and French were seeing each other, but the gossip didn't gain much traction because there weren't receipts of their interactions. Check out a few responses to the flirtatious exchange below.

Jada Pinkett Smith Explains Why She Doesn't Lend Money To Family Members

It's estimated that Jada Pinkett Smith is worth $50 million, but you won't catch her lending money to family members. When her bank account is partnered with her husband Will Smith, the Hollywood couple is reportedly worth an estimated $400 million. It wouldn't be farfetched to believe that their loved ones may ask for a few dollars here and there, but on an episode of Red Table Talk, Jada revealed that she has made it a rule to not lend family members any money.

“For people like us, who came from backgrounds where we didn’t have much, don’t feel guilty,” said Jada. “I spent so many years feeling guilty and my guilt made me feel like I owed everybody and I wasn’t allowed to say, ‘No.’ And that’s just not true, right?” So, she gave herself, and others, rules.

“First of all, I don’t lend money,” she said. “I only give money that I am willing to give like, ‘This is a gift.’ I do not lend money because that turns into a lot of problems, just as far [as] the expectation of people paying you back or what have you... So I tend to not give where I can’t just say, ‘Here’s a gift to you.’ Specifically, people who are close to me, ‘cause I’m not trying to have fallouts over money.”

Additionally, Jada mentioned that she will financially help people, but only those that are ready for that help. Jada added, "Somebody’s like, ‘I want a new house,’ but they don’t have a job to support the house they’re trying to buy. It’s like, well, you’re not ready for that. So, I’m not about to help you get into something that ultimately is going to make more difficulty for you, right? And so, I really had to look at that. So, I’ve also learned to help people with resources, with education.”

She also explained that she no longer allows people to make her feel guilty. "People will make you feel like, ‘You owe me. I was standing next to you. I grew up in the house with you. I did this and that with you I knew you when.’ And at the end of the day, you don’t owe nobody nothing.”

Check out the clip of the episode below and let us know if you have rules for lending money to your loved ones.

Azriel Clary Claims Backlash She Receives About R. Kelly Is Mostly From Black Community

She's repeatedly promised that she would one day detail her experience as the "girlfriend" of disgraced music icon R. Kelly, and Azriel Clary has, little by little, begun to do just that. The 23-year-old has shared her emotional rollercoaster since leaving Kelly and his other girlfriend Joycelyn Savage. There have been fights, tears, interviews, and social media updates, and recently, Clary sat down with Fox Soul where she explained why she feels it's important to speak out.

"For me personally, it was quite disturbing. A majority of the backlash that I received was from the Black community and other influencers and celebrities," said Azriel. "But more importantly, that's kind of what made me feel like it is quite important that I share this because there are so many people that are just like me. Victims are not the ones that should be shamed. It should be the predator. It should be the abuser."

"It just shows that there is still a lot of hypocritical people and there are a lot of people that are just very ignorant to the situation," she added. "There's really nothing that I can do for them, personally, but what I can do is help victims know that it is okay to tell how you feel. It is okay to open with the world regardless of the backlash that it comes with."

Clary also said that most people have either "dealt with abuse or know someone who has gone through abuse in some way, shape, or form," so she wanted to lend her voice to the conversation. After Fox Soul shared the clip to their Instagram page, R. Kelly supporters were quick to denounce Clary. Some simply left comments saying "Free R. Kelly," while others accused her of shopping her story to networks. Check out the clip below.

Julius Randle Wins Over Knicks' Twitter After Massive Triple-Double

New York Knicks forward Julius Randle recorded a triple-double, Tuesday, during the team's 95-86 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers, resulting in a stark 180° from Knicks fans who have been trashing the 26-year-old.

The former 7th overall pick recorded 28 points, 12 rebounds, and 11 assists. Randle spoke about using the offseason to work on his game after the win: 

They challenged me going into the offseason to come back a better player. I’m going to put that pressure on myself as well to challenge myself and get better every year. Last year was a great learning experience for me. But this year I’m coming back a better player and came back in great shape. And that’s just part of the culture we’re building. We’re competing and not backing down from anybody.

Randle joined the Knicks in 2019. He averaged 19.5 points, 9.7 rebounds, and 3.1 assists during his first year with the organization. The Knicks signed him to a three-year $62.1 million contract.

The Knicks are now 2-2.

Knicks fans celebrated the massive performance proudly on social media. 

"Knicks fans last week: 'Release Julius Randle!' Knicks fans this week: 'Build a statue of Julius Randle!'" one fan wrote on Twitter.

Producer Delray Richardson Claims Tupac Told Him About Rendezvous With Faith Evans

Decades ago, Tupac Shakur unleashed what has been hailed as one of the greatest diss tracks of all time when he created "Hit 'Em Up" with the Outlawz. On the track, Pac alleged that he'd had sex with Biggie's wife Faith Evans, and since that time, the rumors and speculation have run rampant. Faith denied the gossip in her Keep The Faith memoir she released in 2008, but platinum-selling producer Delray Richardson says otherwise.

Earlier this month, Richardson sat down with The Art of Dialogue and gave his side of the story, revealing that Tupac allegedly told him about having sex with Evans not long after they first met back in 1995. According to Richardson, he saw Tupac and a few other rappers at a hotspot off the Sunset Strip in Hollywood and Faith Evans happened to be there as well. He claims Faith and Tupac greeted one another and when they all left, she went back to his hotel.

Faith detailed her side of the story in her memoir, saying that Pac owed her money for a studio session and he would give it to her at the hotel. However, she claimed that once they arrived at his room, the rapper offensively asked her for oral sex. "She said that Tupac said to her that she had to give him head or, I'mma quote what she said, that she had to 'suck his d*ck' to get her paycheck for recording the song 'You Wonda Why They Call You B*tch.' Which was recorded, may I add, factually and can be proven, the next day on the 19th," said Richardson, adding that the singer "made a lot of misrepresentations" and "outright lies."

He goes on to explain why the dates that Evans lined up in her memoir aren't correct. Richardson added that "Tupac had sex with Faith after that studio session" and claimed he felt the need to speak out because Evans "besmirched" the late rapper's name after his death. "When Tupac wanted to work with her, it was from his heart," said Richardson. "There was no ulterior motive. He wasn't trying to have sex with Faith. It wasn't his motive to do that."

Richardson goes into great detail about proving that there was some sort of rendevous or relationship between Tupac and Faith Evans, even saying that Ray J was at the studio when they were recording and witnessed their interactions. You can watch the video to hear some memories about Tupac below.

Philip Rivers Admits He Considered Retiring If Colts Lose Week 17

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Philip Rivers admitted Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars could be his last.

Chris Unger / Getty Images

"It did cross my mind. If things don't go the way you want this weekend, it could be... I guess it's healthy to have that thought bc we're not guaranteed anything going forward," Rivers told The Athletic's Stephen Holder, this week.

The Colts will need to secure a victory this week and need one of numerous other results to fall their way in order to make the playoffs. A win, along with a Titans loss, a Browns loss, a Ravens loss, or a Dolphins loss would land them a wild-card playoff berth.

Rivers enters Week 17 having thrown for an impressive 4,005 yards, 23 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. He signed a one-year, $25M deal with the Colts in the offseason.

As for how Rivers is preparing for what could be his last time taking the field, he says he'll still be going through his usual routine:

My normal mode when we play the 4 o'clock game, I kind of flip through the Sunday Ticket on my phone. So to say I won't be doing that will be a lie. I won't be consumed with it, but I'll be aware. To try to pretend like you're not going to know the outcome of those games is probably unrealistic. But I don't think it needs to consume our locker room.

The Colts are currently 10-5.

Nicki Minaj Details Motherhood: Natural Birth, Ariana Grande Gifts, & Help From Ciara

She's still keeping her son's name a secret, but Nicki Minaj is revealing more about her pregnancy with fans. Earlier today (December 30), the rap icon took to her social media to share more snaps from her pregnancy photoshoot in honor of her baby boy turning three-months-old. The colorful photo grabbed the attention of the Barbz, naturally, so Mrs. Petty decided to take some time out to answer questions from her fans regarding all things motherhood.

The rapper shared that Ariana Grande sent her beautiful gifts for her baby and added in another tweet that Ciara was helpful with giving her tips for caring for a newborn. Nicki will soon release a documentary where the world will see how her husband, Kenneth Petty, reacted when she shared the news that she was pregnant. Fans wanted to know if the baby resembled Nicki or Kenneth, and the rapper answered she'd let the world be the judge. Nicki promised that she would share her son's name one day, so the Barbz will just have to standby.

Nicki also gave details about her pregnancy and labor. "He used to kick me so hard every night at the same time if I didn’t get up & walk with him. He had a full personality in my tummy & knew how to get his way. It was so intriguing to me. He does the same thing now," said Minaj. "Natural vaginal birth w/epidural. I pushed for 2 1/2 hours. Only b/c first the epidural didn’t wear off enough for me to feel myself pushing. Once I was able to feel the pain I pushed him on out."

Fox News Host Trolled On Twitter After Criticizing Harry Styles' Wardrobe

Fox News anchor Raymond Arroyo called out Harry Styles for his wardrobe choices, saying that he needs to leave the gender-bending style choices behind in 2021. He was promptly roasted across Twitter for his segment.

"Harry Styles please stick to Armani menswear or at least pants. The gender-bending wardrobe is not edgy or artistic," Arroyo said. "You look ridiculous and you're not breaking any new ground—David Bowie did this decades before you were even conceived. And the pearls were a really bad look."

Styles' clothing choices have resonated positively with many others, including Miley Cyrus who recently said she'd rather kiss the One Direction singer over Justin Bieber because she's "into the fishnets."

Arroyo has not been able to tweet without seeing Styles' fans in his replies. 

"Find your hairline before coming for our lord and savior Harry Styles," one fan told Arroyo.

Another wrote: "I always felt Fox News was bullshit...but this definitely sealed the deal for me. We all know Harry looked amazing in that dress some people just haven’t came to terms yet. That’s okay..most of you have the vogue magazine in there nightstand drawer."

Check out more of the responses to Arroyo's segment below.

Jake Paul Announces He Is Moving Out Of L.A. To Focus On Boxing

YouTuber Jake Paul says he is selling his house in California and leaving Los Angeles to focus on his boxing career.

Michael Reaves / Getty Images

"The main reason for this is I'm stepping into a new chapter of my life where I am a legitimate pro fighter, and being in Los Angeles, there are so many distractions, there's so much going on, and it doesn't really allow me to focus on training," Paul explained in a new video uploaded to his YouTube page. 

“I have set many goals for myself throughout my life,” he continued “One of them was to become the biggest vlogger… This next goal is to become the biggest prize fighter in the world. That’s a large shoe to fill, and the only way to step into it is to fully immerse myself as a legitimate fighter.”

Paul has built a reputation for his impressive Calabasas home by throwing numerous parties throughout the coronavirus pandemic, despite breaking lockdown protocols at the time.

Paul didn't specify where exactly he will be moving to, but says he is “taking it day-by-day” for now. TMZ reports. however, that he is interested in Miami and is currently there touring potential landing spots.

Willow Smith Reveals That She Broke Wind On A First Date

Jada Pinkett's Red Table Talk is slowly but surely turning into the modern-day Oprah Show. I'm aware that comparison seems far-fetched but where else are celebrities going to share their dark secrets and address scandals. Wendy Williams and Ellen aren't even pulling in these kinds of confessions.

Jada, her mother Adrienne Norris-Banfield, and daughter Willow have cultivated a safe space around the red table. Amber Rose recently visited the Facebook Watch set to discuss sexual consent and the times she's been taken advantage of in her high-profile relationships. Even Lori Loughlin's daughter Olivia Jade went to discuss the college admissions bribery scandal with the panel.

Willow expressed her admiration towards her mother, Jada when her scandal with August Alsina caught wind and now Willow had a truth of her own to get off her chest. Willow shared that she once farted on a date "I had met this person before. We were having a really good time and he made me laugh very hard and that was the outcome of the laugh."

We can always count on Willow to speak her mind, even if she is considered "weird" for her opinions and eccentric style. Watch the "How To Handle #Akward Conversations" Red Table Talk below.

J. Cole Hints At Retiring & Fans Are Concerned

Is J. Cole hanging up the microphone after his next three albums, or is he just pump-faking the world into believing that through his cryptic caption?

Last night, Dreamville rapper J. Cole had social media in a frenzy after he posted his pre-The Fall Off plans. The North Carolina native has been teasing the full-length release of The Fall Off for over a year, ramping up speculation that the project was coming soon after his performance at Day N Vegas last year. "The Fall Off 2020," said his marketing imagery on the stage. With only a couple of days left in the year, and still no sign of The Fall Off, J. Cole blessed us all with an update, but it looks like we'll be getting two whole new releases before the eventual album. Nobody is complaining about that, though.

"I still got some goals I gotta check off for’ I scram," wrote Jermaine on Instagram, posting his plans for The Fall Off era, which began with his much-discussed feature run, continued with Revenge Of The Dreamers 3, and has been on pause ever since. According to the paper, we are yet to receive his long-awaited The Off-Season, and there's a new project called It's A Boy that is being hinted at. Finally, once those are out of the way, he'll move onto The Fall Off, which could signal the end of his career if he does indeed scram, as the caption suggests.

Iggy Azalea & Ex French Montana's Brother Reach Settlement In Car Accident Lawsuit

It's almost hard to remember a time when Australian-born rapper Iggy Azalea was not linked to Playboi Carti. After the events that unfolded earlier in the week where Iggy accused the Whole Lotta Red artist of being an absent father to baby Onyx, airing out tons of the tumultuous couple's dirty laundry, their long history together was brought to light. Still, Iggy did have a romantic history prior to Carti, being linked to none other than French Montana. During the time they were dating back in 2016, Iggy and her ex's brother were allegedly involved in a car accident where a man rollerblading was struck by Azalea's vehicle. 

According to court documents originally filed back in 2018, Iggy and French Montana's brother, Ayoub Kharbouch, were facing a $250,000 lawsuit filed against them by the victim, a man named Jeffrey Linett. Thankfully for Iggy, based on newly obtained court documents, the "Fancy" artist's attorney filed a request to dismiss the entire case. Right now, it's unclear whether or not there was any financial settlement, but the ongoing legal battle has officially concluded. Iggy was named in the suit but maintains her story in having no involvement besides being the owner of the vehicle. 

Lucky for Iggy this is one less thing she has to worry about.

6ix9ine Taunts Lil Durk Again: "Nuski & Von Died For This?"

Tekashi 6ix9ine has been a thorn in Lil Durk's side for the last few months, and tensions have heated up despite the former's relative absence in the game as of late. For the most part, 6ix9ine has steered clear of any controversy following his TattleTales album flop, coming out of the shadows only to disrespect some of his biggest rivals, including Lil Durk. With his new album The Voice selling upwards of 80,000 copies in its first eight days out, sales reports have been confusing as they mostly do not comprise Durk's actual first-day sales since it released a day before the industry's standard of Friday, missing just under 25,000 units.

When he first noticed Durk's first-week sales for The Voice, 6ix9ine decided to take the opportunity to be pretty vile, getting under the Chicago rapper's skin and telling his close affiliate King Von to "rest in piss". Now, with DJ Akademiks reporting on Lil Durk's "first-week" sales of 23,000 units, which were actually only pulled from his first twenty-four hours on the market, 6ix9ine made a choice to get back out of his rat trap and snap.

"Nuski and Von died for this???? @lildurk," wrote the Brooklyn rapper in the comments, referencing the deaths of Lil Durk's cousin and his close friend.

On a more positive note, Lil Yachty also made a comment, congratulating Durkio on his success with this album, claiming that these numbers are a win.

"W one day of sales, Durk the [GOAT]," wrote Lil Boat.

Maybe Tekashi 6ix9ine didn't actually read the full post before commenting? This is a pretty impressive feat to pull in 23,000 sales on the first day...

Lil Durk recently doubled down on the success of his new album, writing on social media that the "trenches are behind" him. Did you listen to The Voice?
