On-Field Brawl In Missouri-Florida Game Gets Three Players Ejected

Things erupted into a straight-up brawl right before halftime during the Florida Gators versus Missouri Tigers game. As reported by 24/7 Sports, Florida quarterback Kyle Trask was absolutely drilled on a late hit by Missouri defensive lineman Trajan Jeffcoat. Soon after, both teams started to push and get aggressive on their way into the locker rooms. 

Things descended into madness from there, and Florida defensive lineman Zachary Carter could be seen at the center of it. He threw multiple punches, but also caught several in return, with Missouri linebacker Chad Bailey being one of the opposing aggressors. Even the coaches were out of line; Gators coach Dan Mullen was caught in a shouting match with Tigers coach Eli Drinkwitz. 

Officials were finally able to calm both teams down and separate the brawl. Florida and Missouri receive a team-wide unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, which meant any other penalty was subject to ejection. Also, Carter was ejected from the game as well as freshmen defensive lineman Antwaun Powell and Missouri's Tre Williams. Tons of fans took to social media to call out the NCAA and comment on the crazy situation.

Serius Jones Pleads Guilty In Human Trafficking Case: Report

Serius Jones is getting out of human trafficking charges by pleading guilty to a range of other ones. As reported by The Mercury News, Jones pleaded guilty to pimping, dissuading a witness, and assault. Prosecutors in Contra Costa County, California dropped the human trafficking charges in return for this cooperation. The guilty plea will get Jones three years in prison. 

As we reported previously, Jones was charged in January 2020 before getting arrested by Walnut Creek police on February 6th. The victim, only referred to as Jane Doe, accused Jones of "willfully and unlawfully depriv[ing] and/or violate [her] personal liberty” by "forcing her into prostitution" from July 31st and October 15th, 2019. The charges also stated that Jones "assaulted" Jane Doe “by means likely to produce great bodily injury." 

Jones pleaded not guilty at first, and released an apology to fans on a jail recording that was posted to social media.  “I would never force a woman to do anything against her will," he explained at the time. "That’s not what I was raised as." He continued on to add, “I’m sorry to my fans, I’m sorry to those who look at this like a disappointment. No one’s more disappointed than me.”

Snoop Dogg Announces New Album "Take It From A G"

Snoop Dogg is a legend, and his music catalog spans decades. The veteran rapper has recently ventured into the genres of gospel and reggae before finally circling back to hip-hop. Although we enjoyed watching Snoop's musical and spiritual growth, it feels good to have him back on beats dropping bars. And we will be getting many, many more bars in the near future. The Doggfather himself took to Instagram to announce that he is getting ready to drop a new project. 

Snoop left no caption on his IG post, but blessed fans with a video and snippet of a track off the new project. The clip begins with a photo of Snoop posted up on an old school ride. The wall behind has text announcing the new album, Take It From A G, and reveals that the album will touch down in December 2020. Audio in the snippet praises the Lakers, and the video coincides with a decked out purple and gold ride that performs hydraulic acrobats as a new Snoop track blares from the system. The Lakers recently earned their 17th championship, tieing the Celtics for most championship wins of all time. Take it From A G will be the follow up to last year’s I Wanna Thank Me.

Queen Naija & Lucky Daye "Dream" Together

Queen Naija's debut studio album missunderstood has arrived. The critics and fans alike are praising the effort, which further helps resuscitate the R&B genre. There have been a plethora of amazing R&B albums released this year, with women leading the charge on a level of rhythm and blues mastery. Queen Naija's project captures this mastery, and songs like "Dream" showcases it. 

Featuring Lucky Daye, "Dream" is a romantic ballad powered by the opposite styles of the two artists on the song. Queen Naija's potent vocals mesh well with Lucky Daye's more dreamy tone. Their combination over a smooth pop and R&B fusion of an instrumental hits the spot this cuffing season. 

Quotable Lyrics
You don't even have to question
If thะต feeling is mutual, baby
Just like you would do for me, nothing I wouldn't do for you, baby
And I want it so bad, evะตrything or nothing at all, yeah
Take my soul, to a place I can't control

Stalley & Trippie Redd Talk Money On "Multimillion Dollar Man"

Stalley keeps his 2020 grind going with the new EP CakeThis project glides between several vibes and emotions in a short span of time. One of the best songs of the EP though, is "Multimillion Dollar Man" featuring Trippie Redd. This single really rides. The instrumental is comprised of melodic synths that can barely be heard over the live-sounding percussions. The spacious beat allows every syllable to be heard clear, and gives both artists a chance to play with the vocality. 

Trippie delivers a chorus that fits right in line with his usual guest features. Although he does shy away from using his more aggravated and sometimes harsh melodic style and just smoothly croons on "Multimillion Dollar Man." Stalley reminds us why he's one of the most underrated rappers out there with bars that walk that thin line between inspiring and ratchet. 

Quotable Lyrics
First deal got my family out the basement
I was flat broke, couldn't make rent
Clock named me good, rapping starting to make sense
It was hard to wait my turn and practice patience
But greatness can't be slept on
Those times was hard like the floor we slept on

Eric Bellinger Spits Game On "Solo'n"

Eric Bellinger decided to drop off another election-themed project right before what is set to be one of the craziest elections in modern American history. The project, titled Eric B For President: Term 3finds strength in poppy fueled bangers. "Solo'n" is a great example of this. The track features a sugary sweet instrumental that uses colorful synths and a bopping base to create this excited and fun beat. 

Eric Bellinger lays down his honey-sweet vocals over the beat, crooning about making a single girl his main squeeze. Of course, Eric plans to do this with his sexual prowess and baller-lifestyle. The song is not anything too different, but it is fun to dance around to and will certainly be a favorite among the ladies. 

Quotbale Lyrics
On a late night team (Team), on a date night team (Team)
Come and queen my king (Yeah)
Saint Laurent lingerie (Sheesh), we can film a lil' tape
If you with it my babe (Yeah), 'cause you been solo'n

WIzKid & Burna Boy Drop Off "Ginger"

WizKid wanted to release a project as an ode to his home, so he came through with the album Made In Lagos this past week. The African vibes on this one are too strong to resist. You will find yourself dancing and singing along to the infectious tunes, none more so than "Ginger" featuring Burna Boy. The two top cross over talents from the continent team up to create a sensual hip-moving groove. 

A sexy guitar and mystical synths lay the background down on this beat. The result is an instrumental that is both sensual and fun, forcing your body to move with it whether you want to or not. Both artists sing to a woman they would love to seduce in their verses, making this a perfect track to throw on for the ladies. 

Quotable Lyrics
Make I touch your body
Make I rub, make I love, make I rub
Make I touch up pon it
Make I rub around it
Say like a lotion
Imma rub imma rub
Imma rub upon it
Like fine wine, say you sweet when you whine it

Sheek Louch & Dave East Team Up For "Clear My Mind"

Sheek Louch came through on this Halloween season with a new mixtape, titled Gorillaween Vol. 3The brief project is packed with bangers, such as the Dave East featured "Clear My Mind." This single is a vibe: chill enough to spark one up to but hood enough to get gully to. The instrumental is creates an air of peace and calm, which fits with the title of the track. An inspiring piano and steadily paced percussions meld to make a cheerful beat that pulls at emotional strings when the violins come in. 

Sheek takes the first verse and smoothy saunters over the instrumental before delivering a truly heartfelt hook. Dave East appears on the second verse, and doesn't switch up his style much to deliver bars about passion and drive. You can bump this one in a variety of settings, sit back and enjoy. 

Quotable Lyrics
It's 24 hours in a day
Do you hustle? Do you hate?
Or complain about how you could've been great
How you really wanted to rap
But nobody gave you that break
You wanted to go to the NBA
But your coach wouldn't let you play

Russell Wilson and Ciara are a power couple, so it only makes sense that they make power moves on Halloween. Ciara has already blessed us with two costumes: one of her as Cardi B and another of her as Meg Thee Stallion. Both looks were very fun, and either one would have been enough on its own. However, Ciara has team up with her husband to create a thrid Halloween surprise: a remake of Busta Rhymes and Janet Jackson's music video look for "What's It Gonna Be." The classic video finds Busta and Janet draped in futuristic silver and black outfits while being surrounded by dripping metallic fluid. Ciara and Russell did a great job of remaking the costumes, but they took it a step further as well to recreate a portion of the music video. 

The post received praised from several industry heads, including Busta Rhymes himself. "Thank you you both for the love Queen @ciara & King @dangerusswilson ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ‘‘," commented the legendary rapper on the picture.

Barack Obama Details The Call With LeBron James That Help Restart The NBA

When the NBA players protested the shooting of Jacob Blake, there was talk of ending the season. Every team opted out of playing in the first round of the playoffs for one game, but that didn't seem like enough to LeBron James, Chris Paul, Carmelo Anthony, Russell Westbrook, and Andre Iguodala. Barack Obama was a guest on LeBron's show The Shop this past Friday, and he revealed the details of a call with the aforementioned players that helped get the season restarted while still vying for change. 

"I think it was close to midnight when Chris, CP, calls with LeBron, Carmelo [Anthony], I think Russ Westbrook was on the phone, and the conversation we had was along the lines LeBron spoke about," Obama stated about the call.  "Protest is useful in terms of raising awareness, but given the power that the NBA players had, my suggestion was that we use that platform to see if you can start asking for some specifics. This isn't something that's just a one-off. That's sadly what we've seen, as it happens again and again. So, one of the suggestions I had for the players was: Is it possible for you guys to set up an office that allows you, on an ongoing basis, to take best practices that are going to start making incidents like [Blake] less likely?"

After the call, Chris Paul, who is the head of the players' union, and LeBron sat down and worked with the NBA to restart the playoffs, lay down calls to action, present demands that needed to be met, and pushed for voting initiatives. "As I told them though, it's not going to be solved overnight. This is something that we got to stay on. We got to keep on moving," Obama continued. "So the fact that LeBron then has also been working with More Than a Vote, working with my outstanding partner and the most popular Obama, Michelle Obama, in getting people registered, getting them educated, understanding the connection between voting and reform so that you combine protest and going to the polls, I think that's the best outcome possible."

Cardi B Channels The Power Of Medusa In Sultry Halloween Costume

Halloween is here, which means all of your favorite celebrities are taking to social media to flex their top tier level makeup and design teams. Cardi B did provide the world with a gorgeous rendition of Poison Ivy last year, and in 2020 she takes it up a notch to capture the energy of another femme fatale. 

Cardi B found a way to transform herself into Medusa, the formidable Greek gorgon that turns men to stone with one look in her eyes. Half serpent, half woman, Medusa is not to be played with. Cardi recreated the snake-filled hair with what looks like a mix of tiny moldings of serpents and special effects. Her torso and hips are clad in a golden bikini reminiscent of Princess Leia in The Return Of The Jedi. However, her thighs and legs are wrapped around a dress that becomes a snake's tail with the help of some special effects and careful lighting. The entire ensemble looks amazing. Cardi is laid out on a red platform that looks like it's made from blood. Is this one of the best celebrity costumes you have seen this year or nah? Let us know what you think in the comment section below.

Busta Rhymes & M.O.P Deliver High Energy On "Czar"

It's been eleven years since Busta last released a full-length album and his latest offering, ELE 2: The Wrath Of God is well worth the wait. The rapper's latest project has 22 songs in total with massive collaborations alongside equally heralded legends. Kendrick delivers his first verse of the year on "Look Over Your Shoulder," while Busta unleashes a posthumous collab with the late ODB. 

One collaboration that Busta had fans waiting for was "Czar" with M.O.P. The rapper previewed the single on Instagram this week before unleashing the record in its entirety on his latest project. Busta and M.O.P deliver grimey New York flows with high-voltage energy, matching Rockwilder's aggressive horn-heavy production. "Czar" is a modernized take of the nostalgic sound of Busta Rhymes and M.O.P.'s prime.

Peep the single below.

Quotable Lyrics
Light switch on
Fuck shit up 'til everyone in this bitch gone 
Launch grenade bombs
Spit that venom to break up your legs and both arms 
Volcanic eruption, we tell 'em, "Remain calm"

Lil Keed came through with the Deluxe version of his latest project Trapped On Cleveland 3 on Friday, and fans are already loving it.

She fresh out the shower, no bathrobe

Quotable Lyrics:

Told her behold the prะตsence of a king

T.I. Condemned For "Spreading Misinformation" About How To Avoid Catching COVID-19

Over 230,000 Americans have died from COVID-19 as the pandemic surges forward, and it's unclear how the United States will grab hold of the virus to keep cases from increasing. While some cities are still on lockdown under quarantine, others have opened back up to business as usual—so while one town is still "bored in the house," another can be out at the club. Recently, T.I. celebrated the release of his album The L.I.B.R.A. where he was spotted in a packed club, and when questioned about if he was worried about contracting coronavirus, the rapper said he wasn't overly concerned.

"I've taken 13 COVID tests, they've all come back negative. All of them," T.I. told Speedy Morman. "I just took one. I get the results back in two hours. It's not like I'm just careless about my concerns for the virus. I just refuse to live in fear. I'd rather prepare, and when I say prepare, some people feel like the mask... I myself have a perspective I'd rather boost my immune system to defend me against COVID should I come in contact with it rather than wear a mask and hide in fear of coming in contact with it."

The rapper went on to explain that while he and his wife, Tameka "Tiny" Harris, have taken multiple tests, all have been negative for both of them. However, Tiny had a test that did show she had antibodies, meaning at some point she had COVID-19, but recovered. T.I. believes that if he was in such close contact with his wife and tested negative without antibodies, meaning he never contracted the virus, he is doing something right to keep himself immune.

"I've researched and I've found that COVID starts in the throat," said the rapper. "A scratchy throat, a sore throat, before it makes its way..it grows and it travels to the lungs. If you catch it while it's still in the throat and you drink warm liquids, the warm liquids wash it down to the stomach where the stomach acid then kill it."

T.I.'s tea regime is reportedly helping him stave off the virus, but after his interview hit social media, people criticized the rapper for spreading misinformation. You can check out his interview below along with a few reactions, as well.

Mel B. Asks Court To Increase Eddie Murphy's $25K Per Month Child Support: Report

It came as a surprise when news broke back in 2006 that Spice Girl Mel B was pregnant with Eddie Murphy's child. That same year, Murphy's divorce from wife Nicole Murphy was finalized, so the news of the comedian expecting another child stunned the masses. Initially, Murphy denied knowing if he was truly the father of Angel Iris Murphy Brown, but a DNA test would later prove that Eddie is her father. 

The two parents have been in and out of court over the years in regards to Angel's care. In 2009, it's reported that Mel B. was awarded sole custody of the now-13-year-old, and Murphy was ordered to pay $25K per month in child support. According to Us Weekly, the actor was also deemed responsible for Angel's education and health expenses, but Mel's attorneys have recently claimed that Murphy hasn't been keeping up with his end of the court order.

In court documents that have been recently filed, Mel B. is asking for an increase in child support due to her "dramatically reduced" income. The pop icon's attorneys, Erica Lubans and Bruce Cooperman, explained in the documents: “Eddie and Melanie have both established careers in the entertainment industry. Melanie is a singer, songwriter and television personality. Eddie is a legendary comedian and actor. Until recently, Melanie has been fortunate in her career to sustain a comfortable lifestyle for herself and Angel. Unfortunately, Melanie’s income has dramatically reduced, such that she must consider modifying child support for the first time.”

The attorneys also stated that Mel did her best to resolve the issue without involving the court, but she was unable to do so. Murphy has 10 children, including Angel. They range in ages from 31 to 22-months from five different mothers.

Kim Kardashian Debuts "Tiger King"-Themed Halloween Costumes With Kids

Fresh off her birthday extravaganza controversy, Kim Kardashian returns to social media with a family-friendly Halloween look. The 40-year-old mogul recently received backlash for her private island birthday celebration where she and a few dozen of her loved ones secluded themselves away in the Caribbean. Kim shared photos and videos of their escapades, along with a lengthy message about how humbled she was recognizing her privilege. This recent Instagram post is sure to be less controversial as the reality star dressed up as Tiger King star Carole Baskin while her best friend, Jonathan Cheban, gave his best version of Joe Exotic.

Tiger King-themed costume wouldn't be complete without a few big—or little—cats, so Kim dressed up her kids to pull it all together. "Carole Baskin, Joe Exotic and our tigers #Halloween2020," she wrote in the caption to her photos. Meanwhile, Kanye West hasn't made a public Halloween appearance just yet; the rapper has cranked up his presidential campaign this week as the election arrives in just a few days.

While Kanye is certainly the underdog, he does have a following willing to cast their votes for him. We'll have to wait and see how many the rapper pulls in, but until that time comes, check out Kim and the kiddos in their costumes below.

Megan Thee Stallion's Ex-BFF Kelsey Nicole Is Ready To Clear Her Name

In what has probably been the most Kelsey Nicole has said about the July shooting incident, Megan Thee Stallion's [ex] best friend shared a few thoughts on Instagram Live today (October 30). Kelsey was at the scene when Megan was injured in the Hollywood Hills, and while the rapper has come forward to name Tory Lanez as her assailant, Kelsey has remained relatively quiet about her version of events. Tory has vehemently denied hurting Megan and said he still thinks of her as a friend, and because he has stated he isn't responsible for the shooting, people have pointed their fingers Kelsey's way. 

Kelsey Nicole has also said that she is innocent, so the mystery surrounding what happened that fateful evening remains unclear. Tory Lanez has been hit with charges in connection with the event and as fans await his fate, Kelsey shared that she'll be giving her side of the story soon. "Obviously I don't have a team behind me, it's just me. It's just Kelsey Nicole," she said in the video. "They got teams, they got Roc Nation. I don't know who Tory got, but he got a team. Clearly, these are two celebrities so if I speak out different sh*t—of course, they're going to spin the stories."

"And this is really just the beginning. It's still court dates going on," Kelsey continued. "So this is really something that... I don't feel like I have to come on here and just tell y'all right away. I don't owe nobody nothing. But what I will do, I will be clearing my name. I will be, you know, killing some of them rumors. Most of them damn rumors."

She wouldn't give up exact information, but Kelsey revealed that she's "contemplating" giving an interview that "will cover some of the misconceptions or most of the misconceptions." Check out a clip of Kelsey's Instagram Live below.

Lil Nas X Is Nicki Minaj For Halloween In Jaw-Dropping "Super Bass" Costume

Halloween is upon us, and boy have celebrities been going all out for the spooky October holiday. We've seen Saweetie dress up as all three members of Destiny's Child and Kylie Jenner grabbed a few of her friends to morph into sexy Power Rangers, but no one has outdone Lil Nas X. The 21-year-old record-breaking artist has proved that he's the ultimate Nicki Minaj stan by turning himself into the Barbie rapper. He debuted his look—a costume inspired by Nicki's "Super Bass" garb—on social media and dubbed himself "Nas Maraj."

The rapper has long been a Nicki Minaj fan, although he did previously deny his love for the Queen emcee. He later explained that as a young gay rapper who was living in the closet, he didn't want people to question his sexuality if he admitted to being an avid admirer of Nicki Minaj. Now that he's been more open with his life, he has no problem telling the world just how much he adores the new mother. He has also unashamedly begged her for a feature, and after this Halloween look, she can't possibly say no.

After posting himself in his Nicki Minaj costume, the comments from the public flooded in. Lil Nas X has been applauded by people like Iggy Azalea, Skai Jackson, the Clermont Twins, Andy Cohen, 24kgoldn, and many more. Check out the look for yourself and let us known if he nailed it.

Beyoncรฉ Says "New Goal" Is To "Slow Down": "I Have Put Out Projects Nonstop"

The December 2020 issue of British Vogue has been blessed with not one, but three Beyoncรฉ covers. The international superstar is celebrating the recent unveiling of her latest Ivy Park collection, so it only makes sense that her world domination remains documented in one of the globe's leading fashion magazines. While fans of the mononymous singer were thrilled to see her pose for her cover feature, they weren't happy to read that Beyoncรฉ planned on slowing things down on the music front to focus on other areas of her life.

The singer spoke on how things have shifted for her in 2020. "It would be difficult to experience life in a pandemic and the current social unrest and not be changed," said Beyoncรฉ. "I have learnt that my voice is clearer when I am still. I truly cherish this time with my family, and my new goal is to slow down and shed stressful things from my life. I came into the music industry at 15 years old and grew up with the world watching, and I have put out projects nonstop."

"I released Lemonade during the Formation World Tour, gave birth to twins, performed at Coachella, directed Homecoming, went on another world tour with Jay, then Black Is King, all back to back," she continued. "It’s been heavy and hectic. I’ve spent a lot of time focusing on building my legacy and representing my culture the best way I know how. Now, I’ve decided to give myself permission to focus on my joy." Check out her covers below.

Saweetie Explains Birkin Comment: "We Deserve To Be Treated Like A Queen"

A passing comment about Birkin bags sparked an international debate about the coveted accessory. A brief video of Saweetie circulated online where the rapper stated, "If he not getting you a Birkin, if he not paying for your bills, then throw that n*gga back to the streets." The Bay Area artist was promoting her recently released single "Back to the Streets" featuring Jhenรฉ Aiko, and what started as a joke turned into a break down of Birkin sales. People have discussed the importance of gifts and money in relationships, and celebrities like Cardi B, Offset, T.I., Lil Durk, YK Osiris, Safaree Samuels, and Yaya Mayweather even weighed in.

Saweetie addressed her controversial remark in an interview and called it an "entertaining comment." She also stated that a Birkin is symbolic of a "gift of value," adding that people should stay within their tax brackets. "What comes along with being valued? It comes with a healthy relationship. It comes with communication. It comes with getting gifts. It comes with being spoiled because at the end of the day, we create life."

"I feel like, women are magical creatures and we deserve to be treated like a queen," the rapper continued. "So that's what I meant by that statement." Mentioning the Birkin itself was more symbolic for Saweetie. "Get her a purse, get her some jewelry. Of course, according to your tax bracket, 'cause I don't want you to clean out your savings to try to keep up with social media or society. Like, c'mon. Really think—it was really just a quick comment that represents how I feel women should be treated, which is showered with gifts." Saweetie was asked how many Birkin bags she has and she answered, "I have four." Check out her interview below.

Justin Bieber Reveals He Was "Really Suicidal": "I Was Just Suffering"

Growing up in the limelight has proven to be difficult for Justin Bieber, but the pop star has found solace in sharing his experiences with a worldwide audience. Bieber has often spoken openly about the struggles he's faced in his youth and how they have impacted him as an adult, and in a special documentary shared to YouTube today (October 30), he continues with his tradition of transparency. In Justin Bieber: Next Chapter, the "Lonely" singer shared that he'd previously battled suicidal thoughts and explained what it was like for him during that time in his life.

"There was times where I was really, really suicidal," said Bieber. "Like, man is this pain ever going to go away? It was so consistent, the pain was so consistent." He added, "I was just suffering, right? So, I'm just like, man, I would rather not feel this than feel this." The religious singer also stated that his faith has helped him in his journey.

Bieber also dropped off a bit of advice for fans. "I just would encourage people, like, 'Hey, if you're feeling lonely, talk about it. Say it out loud.' There's a freedom in that. I could have avoided a lot of pain." Watch Justin Bieber's documentary special below.

Common & Tiffany Haddish Debunk Break-Up Rumors With Loving Exchange

After screenshots circulated showing that Common didn't follow his girlfriend Tiffany Haddish on Instagram, gossip began to spread about their relationship. After years of speculation regarding the nature of their relationship, earlier this year the pair came forward to confirm that they were happily in love. Fans of both artists pegged the couple as an unlikely pair, but it seems that they're growing closer each day.

Following the break-up rumors, Common and Tiffany hopped on Instagram Live together to prove that there is no trouble in their paradise. While on Live, Tiffany playfully teased Common about a woman who said she has a crush on the rapper. "You better tell her you spoken for," the comedienne said. Common replied with a smile, "I did." To clear up any confusion with those internet sleuths, Common clicked the "follow" button over on Instagram.

Recently, Tiffany joked with Rachel Lindsay, the first Black Bachelorette on the long-running dating show, about her relationship with Common.  “We laugh all the time… He's actually really funny. I'm like... ‘You should do this comedy movie with me.’ He's like… ‘I don't want to exploit our relationship…’ And I'm like… ‘Well, I don't want to be in no relationship where we making no money!’” Check out Haddish and Common below.

Future's Son Jakobi Reposts Braylon Howard's Deadbeat Dad Message

It isn't entirely clear how many children rapper Future has, but some reports estimate that there are as many as eight. The two youngest have gained attention within the last year after the children's mothers took Future to court over paternity. One of those women has faded away from the limelight after reportedly reaching an agreement with the rapper, but his contentious legal battle with Eliza Reign has become an indefinite cycle of drama.

Not much is known about the mothers of Future's children aside from the more famous figures like Ciara and Joie Chavis, but he was sued by a woman named Jessica Smith years ago. She took him to court for child support and reportedly stated that the rapper neglected their son Jakobi, and a repost from teen may have co-signed those allegations.

Recently, Dwight Howard has faced accusations from two mothers of his children who claim that he hasn't reached out to his sons. Howard's 12-year-old son Braylon, who he shares with Royce Reed, even took to his Instagram Story to pen a note saying that the Los Angeles Lakers champion "ain't a real dad."

That note seems to have struck a chord with Jakobi because he reportedly reposted Braylon's message to his Instagram Story. Jakobi didn't add anything to the post, so spectators have only assumed that it's a co-sign to his personal life. Jakobi recently had a run-in with the law earlier this year, but all the charges against him were reportedly dropped. Check out his post below.

Michael Bay "Songbird" Movie About COVID-19 Pandemic Releases Trailer

It was only a matter of time before somebody made a movie about COVID-19. Granted, many assumed Hollywood would only make such a movie its next conquest after the pandemic was over, but it looks as though Armageddon producer, Michael Bay, and Invisible Narratives, have already stepped to the plate, with their upcoming film, Songbird, having been cast, directed, and filmed, all under quarantine. Not a small feat, considering how many movies have been delayed due to the pandemic. 

The movie is set in the near future, in which the world is on its 213th week of lockdown, and COVID-19 has mutated into COVID-23, now attacking brain tissue. In the film’s grim reality, world citizens are forbidden from leaving their homes, infected Americans are forced into “quarantine camps,” and the penalty for attempting to escape from the COVID cops? Getting shot on sight.

The film stars Riverdale’s KJ Apa as the main character, Nico— one of the few people in the world immune to the virus as he attempts to rescue his love interest, Sarah, who is at risk of being taken away by body snatchers because her neighbor (who seems to pose some relation to her) has come down with the virus. Like the rest of the world, Sarah is confined to her apartment and has been separated from Nico by a wall (her front door) for the entirety of quarantine, with phone and FaceTime calls being their only way of interacting.

The film’s creators have not yet nailed down a release date, but the star-studded dystopian motion picture will feature Demi Moore, Sofia Carson, Alexandra Daddario, Craig Robinson, Bradley Whitford, Jenna Ortega, and Paul Walter Hauser.

Watch the trailer, released on Thursday, below, and let us know what you think in the comments— is it too soon, or are you looking forward to tuning in?

In other pandemic-related news, podcast host Joe Budden confirmed he tested positive for the virus on Thursday night.

Future Assists Doe Boy & Southside With New Banger "Tweakin"

Doe Boy and Southside have been cooking up some heat as of late. Earlier this month, the two dropped a collaborative track called "Yessirski," and now, the producer-rapper tandem is back with yet another track, this time featuring the talents of Future. Given Doe Boy is an artist signed to Freebandz, the collab would only make sense.

As one would expect from a track featuring these two - as well as Southside production - it's a banger. The hard-hitting synths that open up the song are immediately followed up by a strong hook from Future, who is then followed up by Doe Boy who provides menacing lyrics in his verses.

Check out the track below, and let us know what you think.

Quotable Lyrics:

Catchin' the opposite out of bonds, you gotta spray it a hundred times
Drinkin' Codeine, wash my Adderall down
Conversin' with my demons any time I get high (Doe Beezy, Doe Beezy, Doe Beezy)
Go to court, beat it, you could buy a homicide (Let's go)

Donald Trump Jr. Claims COVID-19 Deaths Are Down To "Almost Nothing"

Experts estimate that within the last seven day, over 800 people in the United States have lost their lives to issues related to COVID-19. Data compiled from John Hopkins University states that this is a 14 percent increase from just weeks ago, and people are gearing up for the next wave of coronavirus cases in the U.S. Yet, Donald Trump Jr., the eldest son of President Donald Trump, told Fox News that COVID-19 deaths are down to "almost nothing," prompting an onslaught of responses from the public.

“The reality is this: If you look, I put it up on my Instagram a couple days ago, because I went through the CDC data, because I kept hearing about new infections,” Trump Jr. said. “But I was like, ‘Well, why aren’t they talking about deaths?’ Oh, oh, because the number is almost nothing,” he said. “Because we’ve gotten control of this and we understand how it works. They have the therapeutics to be able to deal with this.”

The Trump administration has been heavily criticized for its response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Trump reportedly contracted and recovered from the virus, as did his youngest son, 14-year-old Barron Trump. The President claimed that although Barron tested positive, the virus "just went away." Check out a clip of Trump Jr. on Fox News below.

Yung Bans & Mulatto Combine High-Octane Energy On "Freak Show"

Yung Bans has been around for a while now and through thick and thin, his fanbase has stood by him. Whenever he comes through with a new release, his supporters get excited, and they are certainly showing out for his new single called "Freak Show" which features Mulatto. The two even dropped a video for the song, and it's clear this is a cut meant for Halloween.

With production from Gezin and WondaGurl, the track features some hard-hitting 808s and synth lines that are completely complemented by Bans and Mulatto's energy. The two have great chemistry on the track and their sexually explicit lyrics help paint a vivid picture alongside the music video.

Stream the song and let us know what you think, in the comments below.

Quotable Lyrics:

Bitch go down, then come back up just like a plunger
On that hot boy, block boy for this cold summer

Need a bad bitch that take wood, jack for the lumber

T.I. Responds To Criticisms From Restaurant Victim: "I Just Met You!"

After being called out by the couple who were asked to leave an Atlanta restaurant for wearing sneakers, T.I. has responded to their complaints. Last week, William Johnson was with his wife at Umi restaurant when management told them they couldn't dine there because he was wearing sneakers. Johnson, a Black man, wanted to know why he was being asked to leave when a white woman wearing similar shows was allowed to stay. T.I. heard about the incident and suggested that the restaurant should be boycotted, but after meeting with the owners of Umi and filming their conversation, the rapper accepted their apology and the issue seemed as if it was over.

However, Johnson came forward with a video of his own, telling T.I. it wasn't his place to speak on his behalf, especially considering T.I. didn't reach out to Johnson or his family. T.I. responded to Johnson's issues and uploaded a video where he denied the claims that he knew the owners of Umi personally while also getting fired up at Johnson himself. The rapper said he got Johnson's number from Umi's owners and he did speak with Johnson, so he doesn't understand why that video was released. "I just met you two seconds ago!" T.I. said in the clip. He also claimed that he offered to go on Live with Johnson but was denied, only to find out that Johson went Live later with these accusations.

"FOH Hardest sh*t about it all is having to fight with, the same people we out here fighting for!!!" T.I. wrote in the caption to his video. "Sh*ts f*ckin exhausting!!! I CANT WAIT for someone else to take the wheel. But just in case you ain't noticed... AINT NOBODY in no hurry to step in so... like it or not... I'm da best n*gga you got. Best to just find ways to work together." Check out T.I.'s video below.

Blac Youngsta Recruits Moneybagg Yo & Lil Baby For "I Met Tay Keith First"

Don't even try to get into a discussion with Blac Youngsta on who has known Tay Keith the longest, because he'll obviously win. Super-producer and songwriter Tay Keith is known for working with artists like Drake, Travis Scott, Eminem, Meek Mill, Future, Lil Uzi Vert, Cardi B, Beyoncรฉ, and many others, but Blac Youngsta wants the world to know just how far back his friendship with the Tay goes. On Friday (October 30), Youngsta dropped a track about his fellow Memphis native titled "I Met Tay Keith First," and he recruited Moneybagg Yo and Lil Baby to help him out on the track. Unsurprisingly, Keith also acts as producer.

The title of the song suggests that the entirety of the track would be dedicated to spinning tales of pre-fame Tay Keith days, but you won't find that here. There is a brief mention in a verse, but for the most part, all three artists tackle their verses to speak about keeping it real and staying true to their roots. Stream "I Met Tay Keith First" and let us know what you think.

Hate on my pimpin', they was tryna knock me

French Montana Shares Posthumous Pop Smoke Collab "Double G"

Once again dipping his toes into the Brooklyn Drill scene, French Montana returns with a posthumous Pop Smoke collaboration. The world lost the beloved rapper back in February when he was killed during a home invasion in Los Angeles. Since that time, Pop's family, friends, and fans have kept his memory alive by honoring the late rising star. We're fresh off the BET Hip Hop Awards where Quavo performed a tribute to Pop Smoke, and now we're blessed with a new track from French Montana.

Previously, French spoke about his relationship with the New York rapper during an interview with Apple Music's Zane Lowe. “A lot of people don’t realize how close me and Pop Smoke was,” said Montana. “We was friends outside the music and we had a lot of music together that we was planning on putting out, and I’m just so sad we didn’t get a chance to do that... He represents the culture; he represents everything about New York.”

Quotable Lyrics

Packs in it, dark tinted, black Camaro
Got the Cubans for the stash, I'm Robert De Niro
Millionaires, all my n*ggas fly in this
South Bronx, King Arthur, go and grab a chip
Where it's fire there's smoke, G5s in the air
French and Pop Smoke, blowing smoke, that don't see clear

Lil Durk, 6LACK, & Young Thug Link For "Stay Down"

Another Lil Durk single can only mean that the Chicago rapper is inching closer to the release of his next project.

We'll all have to wait just a bit longer for more information about when it's scheduled to hit streaming services, but we expect The Voice will come sooner than later.

Durkio's Friday (October 30) single "Stay Down" features friends 6LACK and Young Thug, and the release of the track follows last month's drop, "The Voice." Both songs were released on the heels of Lil Durk's standout feature on Drake's "Laugh Now, Cry Later," so fans are anticipating what he has in store. Stream "Stay Down" to listen to the melodic deliveries of these three artists and share your thoughts in the comments.

If you love me would you tell me that you ride for me?

Mob ties over here, I can load you down with supplies over here

On Friday (October 30), Meg popped up on DJ Chose's track "Thick" that he originally released with Beatking.

Busta Rhymes Returns With "Extinction Level Event 2: The Wrath of God"

The rap legend has been hyping the release of Extinction Level Event 2: The Wrath of God for years as he's continuously promised that a new record was on the horizon. Fans haven't received a studio album from Bussa Buss since 2012, so to call this one "long overdue" is an understatement.

Busta Rhymes spoke with Entertainment Weekly about how he's been occupying his time creatively over the past eight years. The rapper said he was working "diligently" on creating a body of work that would speak to his soul. "I have been so fortunate to have done so many amazing projects… that were even deemed classics by the people and my colleagues and my peers," said Busta. "After doing it this long and having those moments, you feel like What have you not done that you need to do, to reignite the spark and make you feel the excitement you need to feel? Not in the way that you felt it before, but in a way that supersedes everything that you've felt."

Extinction Level Event 2: The Wrath of God is packed with features including looks from Chris Rock, Rakim, Pete Rock, M.O.P., Bell Biv Devoe, Minister Louis Farrakhan, Ol' Dirty Bastard, Q-Tip, Rick Ross, Anderson .Paak, Vybz Kartel, Rapsody, Mariah Carey, Kendrick Lamar, Mary J.

Air Jordan 1 Retro High "Dark Mocha" Is A Must-Cop

Few sneakers would fall into the "must-cop" category but these ones right here... whew.

Coming right in time for Halloween, sneakerheads are officially able to secure a brand new pair of the Air Jordan 1 Retro High "Dark Mocha", which has been a coveted pair all year long. Once the official images started circulating on social media, the people spoke and labeled these one of the hottest colorways of the year and, considering they're a Jordan 1 High, you just know that the demand will be high.

As you likely know, StockX has become one of the premier marketplaces for the re-selling of all the hottest kicks. While there are certain pairs that can fetch a fortune on the stock market-like app, others, like these, are far more affordable than you may think.

Perfect for the fall, and even making for a decent winter shoe depending on where you live, the "Dark Mocha" joints will only be out on October 31 but you can already secure your pair early on StockX. Depending on your size, you'll be paying approximately $400 for these and, once they drop in Nike's stores, the price is expected to fluctuate. However, if you can't wait and you know that you'll need these in your collection, you'll want to act early.

Check out some official pictures for the Air Jordan 1 Retro High "Dark Mocha" below and head here to cop yourself this pair.
