Cardi B Turns Up To Kanye West & Lil Pump's "I Love It" For New Year's Eve

Kanye West has recently reignited his feud with Drake via Twitter, causing both artists to be included in headlines over the past few weeks. Daylyt recently weighed in on the beef during a sitdown with VladTV. View the clip below.

“I like Kanye. I’m kinda on the fence on Kanye. At first, I used to believe that he had a message,” Daylyt began. “I used to believe he had a purpose. I was like, maybe he’s trolling because he has an actual message.” He does not see the reemergence of their rivalry as a coincidence. “There’s all type of sh*t blowing up that’s taking over the internet. Random a beef that ended just pop back up,” he added. “I think these people just get on the phone like, ‘let’s do this.'”

Jerry Lorenzo’s collaboration with Nike, particularly the Nike Air Fear Of God 1, has been turning heads in the sneaker community. The fresh design brings Lorenzo’s Fear Of God flavor to an all-new silhouette that combines function and fashion. While only a couple of colorways have released so far, there are others in the works, including a nod to Lorenzo’s former alma mater Florida A&M University.

The end of 2018 was marked with a tragic loss for Jessie J. She announced the death of her bodyguard, Dave, this past Sunday, December 30. The man, who also happened to be a father, passed away suddenly. The cause of his death has yet to be made public.

The pop star shared some memories of her loved one by posting video clips of the pair to Instagram. Along with the endearing footage, Jessie recalled her friend’s loving character. She calls him her “rock” and a “gentle giant.”

“The way we laughed. I keep going back to that. We had so much fun,” The Voice star wrote. “Your love for your dogs. Your love for tattoos. Your love for traveling. Your gentleness. Your voice. The way you stuck by me when everyone else left. It was me and you in Aus.”

She remembers Dave holding her hand during a turbulent flight as they headed to London from Dubai along with other moments that testified to his caring nature. “I miss you. I will see you on the other side one day. Rest easy Dave / give your Dad a hug from me,” Jessie J added. “You weren’t just my security, we ARE family.”

When Joe Budden first landed a gig as a co-host of Complex’ Everyday Struggle, many were curious about where the rapper-turned-media-personality was headed. Fans familiar with Joe’s brand were doubtless aware of his eponymous podcast, but seeing him trading insight with Akademiks and Nadeska was a different, though no less entertaining beast altogether. Sadly, Budden’s tenure on Everyday Struggle came to an unfortunate end, as he failed to negotiate a mutually beneficial deal with the powers that be. Upon parting ways with the show, Budden found himself heading into 2018 unemployed.

Now, as yet another new year stands on the horizon, Budden has taken a moment to reflect on his various fortunes. Not only is the man sitting on five different businesses, including a Spotify-exclusive podcast and a Revolt series, but Budden’s personal life has also been flourishing. The once-rapper has officially proposed to longtime girlfriend Cyn Santana, with whom he has a young son, Lexington. Congratulations to Joe Budden, who continues to rack up wins on his own terms.

It’s been a minute since we’ve heard from the legendary duo 8Ball & MJG, who once played a pivotal role in putting Memphis hip-hop on the map during the early nineties. Now, over twenty-five years later, the pair have come through with yet another banger for the collection. The track in question, “Take A Picture,” arrives alongside their new live album Classic Pimpin. It quickly becomes evident that both rappers have remained sharp throughout their veteran years, as 8Bell sets it off with a rapid-fire dose of Southern hospitality.

“Weed stickin to my fingers, I love how the smell lingers,” raps 8Ball, “studio we makin’ bangers, pimp poetic fuckin’ genius.” MJG comes through with the closing verse, showcasing that he can likely outflow many of today’s most prominent hitmakers. “Been in the game for a minute, a lot of you haters wish we would throw it in,” he raps, “the towel, but how would the game really be without real n***as in it?” 

Check out the new single now, and be sure to support 8Ball & MJG, two legends at work.

Quotable Lyrics

Been in the game for a minute
A lot of you haters wish we would throw it in, the towel
But how would the game really be without real n***as in it?
What would it be? A world without no 8Ball & G?
You kiddin’ right, you fuckin with me!

If you were to get rich and famous, what would be the most satisfying purchase to make? It’s likely that almost everyone on earth would have a similar response: “buy my Mom a house!” The Rock, otherwise known as Dwayne Johnson, has done just that. 

He posted a video on Instagram that captures the moment his mom opens his card (which is a voucher for a “brand new home”) and begins to laugh and cry. Johnson reminisces about his childhood too and how he wanted to get his mom a stable place in one location: “all our lives growing up we lived in little apartments all across the country. Lived like gypsies on the road from one state to another.”

Johnson has been rich since his WWE days and so this isn’t the first home he’s bought his mom (“the first home my parents ever lived in was the one I bought for them in 1999”), but “the house this time is a special one and the timing is very meaningful. 
I told her to treat this card like it’s ‘Willy Wonka’s Golden Ticket’ because she gets to choose any home she wants – anywhere she wants.”

Another day, another piece of evidence that “real recognize real” is indeed a genuine principle. Upon releasing his Aftermath-produced Oxnard album in November, Anderson .Paak has been reaping the benefits of a job well done. Though the project has been divisive among his longtime fans, Paak’s latest has come to be genuinely favored, with many praising the rapper’s diverse artistry and musical acumen. In fact, being an accomplished drummer in his own right, it’s safe to say that .Paak stands alongside the rap game’s best musicians. 

In that sense, it’s no surprise to see Paak and Andre 3000 link up in the studio, if only to chop it up as buds. Of course, Three Stacks has been “retired” for a minute, so to suggest a brewing collaboration feels disingenuous until proven otherwise. Still, .Paak’s caption of “Future looking bright” seems to indicate a positive change brought on by Andre’s company; perhaps the OutKast legend has taken a vested interest in Paak’s career, not unlike Dr. Dre before him. 

Either way, the picture is a great hip-hop shot, and one has to wonder what exchanges transpired at this meeting of the minds. Peep the image below.
