According to The Miami Herald, the OPHANIM artist does not appear as a defendant in this lawsuit. Neither does David Grutman, the Miami nightlife and dining entrepreneur who also has the LIV nightclub under his belt. They publicly supported the hotel project upon its announcement as co-developers and partners, although it’s unclear if their roles extended beyond dining and entertainment or if they had a financial stake in The Goodlife. In fact, a representative reportedly said they haven’t had any involvement in the project since mid-to-late 2024.

Back to the foreclosure action, though, it comes from real estate developer CIM Group’s California real estate fund affiliate. They claim the hotel’s owner Washington Squared, controlled by Dreamscape Companies in New York, is in default of a $152 million loan that helped fund the project’s development.

The hotel has allegedly been “operating in the red,” which led the lender to cover payroll and other expenses. Both sides had previous disputes about Dreamscape’s CEO and his partners allegedly owing millions to lenders to cover operating losses, which they labeled an exploitative attempt to take advantage of paperwork mistakes to get more than what they are owed.

Chad Hugo’s Lawsuit Against Pharrell

While this has nothing to do with the Neptunes producer, it does raise questions about The Goodtime Hotel’s history and its funding. Elsewhere, though, Pharrell has another legal battle to face, and this one is actually about him.

Chad Hugo sued his fellow Neptunes producer for allegedly unpaid royalties, lack of proper song credits, and more. It’s been a sad thing to witness given their collaborative chemistry in previous decades.

Pharrell’s legal team responded and claimed “a standard accounting review is already in progress.” Not only that, but they alleged “the lawsuit filed is premature as there may not even be a dispute between the parties. If the accounting review determines that money is owed, the appropriate party will pay it. Pharrell has consistently acted in good faith. He has great respect for Chad and looks forward to resolving this in a way that honors their shared history.”

But it seems like for the rapper and content creator he just needs to make a certain amount per month to feel comfortable regardless. During a Kick stream with Deshae Frost, the Michigan native says anything under $100,000 isn’t enough for him to cover bills and pay for other essentials.

In the clip caught by Akademiks TV, he says if there’s a down month, he won’t be going out to eat, shop, or do any other activity.

One of the other people on the stream with Frost and DDG asked when the latter last made under his desired amount. “It’s been months. 2025 I made under 100,000. It ain’t too far off.”

He adds that it’s been even longer since he hadn’t made over $50,000. In fact, it’s been so long that he says he can’t remember.

DDG Drama With xQc

While it seems like DDG has been able to make $100,000 no problem on a monthly basis, folks in the comments are still in shock and expressing worry that he may go broke in just a few years.

One person replies, “Man if my bills 100k a month majority HAVE to be businesses… I jus hope this why he spending 100k a month cause wtfff.”

Another was a bit more harsh. “He’ll be broke 3 years from now crying about donations & sh*t, fame is really seasonal he need to stack that money while he still got it.”

Hopefully, it doesn’t get to that point for DDG, especially since he’s got a child.

In other DDG news, he recently sounded off on fellow streamer N3on for alleging that xQc made some bold comments to his face about his music career. N3on claimed it happened during the filming of a Mr. Beast YouTube video and that xQc said his music “f*cking sucks” directly to him.

However, according to the “Pink Dreads” rapper, that couldn’t be further from the truth. “If I’m Mr. Beast, I’m never inviting N3on to no sh*t ever again. He gassing this sh*t so crazy and then, on top of gassing it, why are you leaking this bro? He didn’t say nothing to my face. Stop lying now. Video would’ve been over. Don’t lie. Wasn’t nothing to my face.”

She recalled how a group of fans at the mall quickly recognized her and went up to her. “I went to the mall and everybody was just coming to me,” Cardi expressed. “And it’s like, wow, I’m really a big deal. So many people know me. I have to take advantage of this moment now. Like, I know that I’m famous. But it’s even crazier when you go to a different country and you be like, ‘Damn, I’m really, really famous.’ These people really, really know me.”

“I have to take advantage of this moment now,” she continued. “That’s another thing. People procrastinate too much. Don’t waste the moment. Don’t waste the time. You might not get the opportunity again.”

Cardi B’s “Little Miss Drama” Tour

But when it comes to the fruits of this hard work and dedication to the fanbase, Cardi B’s “Little Miss Drama” tour is paying off. Fans have had a lot to discuss about the trek, even if some conversations are more critical. Nevertheless, it contained big moments, impressive performances, and sold-out numbers in its run so far, including a Lil’ Kim appearance in Madison Square Garden and more contemporary guests like GloRilla and many others.

Still, some concerts moments make Cardi B reminisce in less positive ways. For example, she visibly cringed when she accidentally said her ex Offset’s name while performing her “Bartier Cardi” track during the tour. Whether or not it was a staged or planned moment, it was still a bit of whiplash to witness.

Throughout all the drama and acclaim, the mother of four knows the weight is heavy. But moments like her Saudi Arabia mall interactions prove why it’s worth carrying.

Quotable Lyrics from “7am in Broward”:

No ego, I’ll put up my chain and my kick, n****
Young n**** humble, I’m still on the block
Puttin’ it all on the line, all I got
I’m thinkin’ ’bout money, all times on the clock, phew (On God)
I’m tryna kick cup, but I’m lovin’ the Wock’, huh (Yeah)

According to The Shade Room, she went on FB Live this afternoon (Friday, April 3), but she didn’t say much about her son’s arrest or the allegations against him. Rather, she and her friends played his “Shiesty Summer” track, and one of the friends even flipped off the camera. The Facebook Live session reportedly lasted just over a minute.

Also, Baines took to her FB page to share more messages seemingly reacting to her son’s legal predicament. These include “I been blocked you hating mf’s … #Amen,” “my ears ringing. #keeptalking #blessingsonblessings,” and “It’s power in the name Jesus…”

We will see if this is her only series of statements on the matter or if she and others will continue to speak out.

How Long Is Pooh Shiesty Facing?

In the meantime, Pooh Shiesty potentially faces life in prison if a jury convicts him of this crime. Given his already complex home confinement situation stemming from gun charges, this is not good news for him and his loved ones. We will see if they speak further on this in the future.

For now, Gladys Baines’ messages and Facebook Live session indicate her support of her son amid it all. While there aren’t any explicit connections here, it’s impossible not to see the context. Also, she shared other posts related to Shiesty this week, so it’s clear she has him at top of mind.

Elsewhere, hip-hop is reacting to Pooh Shiesty and Gucci Mane’s alleged situation, whether it’s reacting to Guwop’s snitching allegations or scrutinizing their alleged label situation. Either way, there is a lot more to discuss on the horizon. We’ll see how things move legally concerning federal authorities’ case and what other details about these allegations emerge.

“Soy boys” are the complete opposite of those in the red pill world. They don’t possess a lot of manly traits, whereas the latter are viewed as “alpha males.” People in the latter category believe they know what it takes to be a true man.

However, Iggy Azalea doesn’t believe that one bit. During a livestream with N3on, per Complex, the former music star thinks everyone who claims to be alpha or watches these people’s content are actually “weak.”

The Australian native says, “I don’t know, guys. I think that the soy boys actually might be the red pillars. If you were really alpha, why would you need to even be thinking or getting advice on this subject, like, a wolf is just out there hunting. He doesn’t need f*cking all this advice about it. I don’t know,” she posited. “It makes me think that secretly, that is beta. Is it not? I don’t know.”

Iggy Azalea’s Botox

“If I was f*cking a guy and he was like, ‘I watch podcasts on how to be a man,’ I’d be like, ‘weak,’” Azalea continued. “I’m not watching podcasts about how to be a f*cking woman. … It’s kind of a p**sy move to be like, ‘I need life help!’ It’s like, okay, p**sy. That’s not alpha in itself. You’d just be out there raw-dogging life if you were really alpha. … I don’t have a huge opinion, but I do think if [you] were that alpha, wouldn’t you be just blazing your own path? Why do you need to buy a course on how to live your life? I don’t know.”

Comments like these are certainly going to drive debate, and sure enough, they have. In fact, Myron Gaines, host of the popular male self-improvement podcast, Fresh & Fit, has replied to Azalea.

Others in the comments believe some her statements were a bit hypercritical, particularly those about self-improvement and seeking help. There’s a chance she could just be talking down on those who looking to controversial men like Andrew Tate, Clavicular, and Gaines for advice. But social media users feel her words were more widespread.

Her comments to N3on about this topic follow her raising eyebrows for revealing how much Botox she’s had injected recently. She felt that her decision to get it was justified whereas others don’t see it that way.

The message Pépé wrote is in French, but it roughly translates to the following, per Akademiks: “Alright, instead of asking me questions, I’m going to answer. Overall, I am now single. I have never talked about marriage, and even less about giving money to anyone. Please stop talking for no reason.”

As to why the two broke up, there’s not really an indication of that at press time from either party. However, folks did speculate a lot about him allegedly paying her to not make adult content, paying for her to fly out on vacations, and other similar accusations. Basically, social media sleuths were pocket-watching and criticizing the alleged nature of the romance. But none of that was ever confirmed to be true, and Nicolas Pépé shut down the big rumors.

Teanna Trump is sadly used to backlash, but she seemingly hasn’t responded to this at press time. We will see if any other details or allegations emerge.

Nicolas Pépé & Teanna Trump Timeline

A post shared by DJ Akademiks (@akademiks)

For those unaware, Nicolas Pépé and Teanna Trump reportedly started dating during the summer of 2024, and their relationship lasted for over a year. Marriage rumors came and went, as well as Internet scrutiny of their dynamics.

It’s not the former adult actress’ only bit of relationship drama, as she claimed she got with Lil Baby back in 2020. This led to cheating allegations and a clap-back from Jayda Cheaves, Baby’s partner at the time.

Gossip rumors like this have followed Teanna persistently, either based on her own allegations or from others. Now, the question is whether or not Teanna Trump or Nicolas Pépé have anything else to say about the breakup or their relationship as a whole. It seems unlikely, but fans will probably continue to gossip either way.

As most of you know, it got underway shortly after they collaborated for “R.I.C.O.,” for Meek’s Dreams Worth More Than Money album. The latter claimed Drizzy used ghostwriters for his parts on the song. That then sparked some tweets and diss tracks, namely “Back To Back.”

That proved to be the nail in Mill’s coffin. Since that time, trolls and haters have claimed that he’s never been the same. Well, the hitmaker’s bank account would say otherwise.

“You spoke like a battle ended me,” Mill said in response to Charlamagne. “Made like 80m since then still counting like 2ms on the schedule this month all rap money not counting other deals.”

He added, “We cut from 2 different Worlds. He’s not qualified from working at no radio station to downplay my brand on these big platforms.”

On top of this monetary flex, Mill has also fired back by listing off all of his plaques and revenue from platforms like X. “Since Drake beef I drop tap 3x platinum… Peta double platinum… Blue notes 1 and 2 platinum… Uptown vibes with legend from Brooklyn fab platinum… What’s free feat jayz meek mill I think it’s plat… F*ck on me ft cardi b platinum…”

Moreover, he’s been dropping some new music, like this freestyle above to show that he hasn’t lost a step creatively.

As for what Charlamagne’s had to say, his comments weren’t all negative. In fact, he had plenty of nice things to say. However, he feels he just hasn’t fully recovered from a social media aspect. “I f*ck with Meek. You know what I’m saying? I think Meek does a lot for his community. You know, he’s been a great symbol for the city of Philly. I love what he does with Reform. But I probably would have deleted my Twitter after ‘Twitter fingers’ and just flooded the streets with nothing but music.”

He added, “I would only talk through the music, because every single time Meek posts the internet turns it into a joke. Y’all was just laughing at him last week because he posted about being on LinkedIn. … I said, you know, the way they act with Meek is strange. And I agree with Meek. The propaganda against Meek is strange. And it started with that battle. And at least on social media, the narrative around him hasn’t recovered. It started with the battle.”

As caught by joebuddenclips/fanpage on Twitter, he reacted to legal documents against Pooh during his livestream. The commentator pointed out that the victim identified as “R.D.” in court documents is likely Radric Davis, Gucci’s real name. The court documents detail how “R.D.” and others allegedly identified Big30 via his Instagram and claimed he was present at the alleged attack.

“They all identified Wright [Big30’s real last name],” Akademiks expressed. “So, I’m going to be honest here. It appears that all of these guys cooperated and identified these people as being ‘present during the offense.’ Gucci and the cameraman identified his Instagram account as @Ceobig30. So, with all due respect here. No diss to Gucci, I love you, Gucci. Don’t know if you’re taking the stand. But Gucci’s doing the identification. He’s doing what I would do. I ain’t gon’ lie, I’ll drop a dime on a n***a, bruh. Yo, that n***a live right here. ‘This is his girl right here?’ Yeah. ‘He f***ing this side b***h over here?’ Yup, yup. So shoutout to Gucci. So Gucci identified… Yo, this is crazy. I need a drink, man. Atlanta wilding right now.”

How Many Years Is Pooh Shiesty Facing?

As such, it seems like DJ Akademiks understands the scrutiny Gucci Mane’s Pooh Shiesty snitching allegations will face. But he understands why he allegedly would make that decision. None of these matters have been explicitly confirmed or addressed by the parties allegedly involved at press time.

As for Pooh Shiesty’s consequences for allegedly kidnapping Gucci Mane, he reportedly faces a maximum sentence of life in prison if convicted. At press time, federal authorities are reportedly searching for a ninth suspect in this case after arresting the other eight alleged coconspirators.

The post DJ Akademiks Relates To Gucci Mane Allegedly Snitching On Pooh Shiesty appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

According to Raybould, some of the alleged coconspirators slipped and bragged about the robbery on social media hours after the crime. Federal authorities accused Shiesty, Big30, Pooh’s father, and six other individuals of organizing or carrying out a kidnapping and robbery at gunpoint against Guwop and two colleagues. The alleged incident supposedly took place at a Dallas recording studio.

“Within hours of leaving the Dallas studio, a number of the defendants were on social media displaying some of the items that appeared to be the jewelry that had been robbed from the victims,” Raybould alleged. No footage of this alleged flaunting has surfaced or resurfaced on the Internet at press time, nor has anything emerged connecting any possible clips to that alleged kidnapping and robbery.

The U.S. Attorney also detailed the federal investigation, involving electronic monitoring, Greyhound bus records from Dallas to Memphis the day after the alleged crime, cell phone records, rental car records, surveillance and fingerprint evidence, and more.

Pooh Shiesty Arrested

Federal authorities reportedly continue to seek a ninth suspect in this case after arresting the other eight in Dallas, Memphis, and Nashville earlier this week. Authorities arrested Pooh Shiesty and his father in Dallas on Wednesday (April 1).

The alleged kidnapping and robbery at gunpoint was supposedly under false pretenses of a business meeting. Allegedly, a dispute over Pooh Shiesty’s contract with Gucci Mane under the latter’s 1017 Records label caused the situation and made it turn violent.

We will see what other information emerges about this case and what the folks allegedly involved have to say about it, whether in court or on social media. There are still many allegations and speculative conclusions floating around, such as Gucci Mane allegedly snitching on Pooh Shiesty, Shiesty’s present home confinement situation, and previous rumors of the alleged robbery stemming from record label and contract disputes.
