As shared on their Instagram page and caught by NFR Podcast on the social media platform, Mal specifically claimed this upcoming LP will have some of the 6ix God’s best rapping yet. While most of the conversations around the project concern its release date, the two commentators are keeping their focus on the music itself.

Rory asked if ICEMAN will be better than Take Care from what Mal has heard, which led to Mal’s assessment. “Let me say this: This is some of the best raps I’ve ever heard from Drake,” he remarked. “Just rapping. This is some of the best bars, best rapping that I’ve heard from him. But aside from that, just what he’s preparing to do, it’s crystal clear who the top dog is after this.”

Elsewhere, Rory and Mal had another ICEMAN angle to speak on Drake over. They called out Anthony Fantano for claiming the album would drop last night (Thursday, April 16). “I don’t know why he said that,” Mal expressed. “I don’t know who his sources are, but his sources are wrong.”

Drake’s Toronto Explosion

A post shared by NFR Podcast (@nfrpodcast)

For those unaware, Drake’s ICEMAN rollout recently got an explosive update. A huge controlled explosion in Toronto last night left many scratching their heads. Officials reportedly confirmed that this was for a production shoot under the title “PROJECT BOT.” Via Drizzy’s own Instagram activity, fans connected the dots and presumed this was for an upcoming ICEMAN music video.

Whether or not the “BOT” allusion refers to Kendrick Lamar botting allegations or a more general connection to themes of betrayal and coordinated hate campaigns on ICEMAN is a mystery. But it certainly lines up with the precedent.

When will Drake drop ICEMAN? We don’t know. At least, there haven’t been any confirmations or official updates at press time. But it seems like it’s arriving soon, and Rory and Mal’s discussion has fans incredibly excited for the astonishments we could receive soon.

In February, he was pulled over for allegedly speeding. Per police bodycam footage shared by The Neighborhood Talk, the stop nearly landed him back in jail. The officer let him know that his license was suspended because he had some financial responsibilities that needed to be taken care of. He also let him know that he could have been arrested for this.

Fortunately, the situation worked out in Young Thug’s favor. Needless to say, fans are relieved. “He’s lucky he didn’t arrest him, he is on real strict probation,” one commenter writes. “The luck this man has,” another says.

New Young Thug Snippet

A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk)

News of Young Thug’s close call comes just a few days after he graced the stage at Coachella and dropped a snippet of an unreleased track.

The snippet has fans divided. While some think his next project could be one of his best yet, others have their doubts. This includes DJ Akademiks, who shared his thoughts during a recent livestream. According to him, he still has love for the Atlanta MC, but simply can’t get behind what he’s hearing.

“We love you. I think you’re one of the greatest artists that has ever come out of Atlanta. This is not based on hate, but right now, n***a, you must be Stevie Wonder because you can’t hit a motherf*cking thing. You seem blind. That ain’t it,” he said. “He dropped a snippet. This sh*t was garbage. I know Charleston White can’t see in one eye. Young Thug can’t hear in one ear.”

According to the outlet, security footage from inside the location is from Wednesday (April 15). In it, you can see a woman approach the rapper and a friend, seemingly trying to sit down with them. They seemingly got into an argument over where they’re from, and then the fan attacked Spice. Onlookers and her friend tried to separate the two, but things didn’t stop there.

In another video shared by the publication, you can see the femcee argue with a man outside the restaurant, which then led to a brawl in the street. The context of all this is very unclear, and it seems like things went left quick.

Following this, the “Naked” collaborator’s attorney Bradford Cohen reportedly issued a statement to TMZ. “The unprovoked attack on my client has been reported to the LAPD and we will be pursuing any and all avenues to hold the perpetrators responsible for their actions, including criminally and civilly,” the statement reportedly reads. “We are also exploring holding the location responsible for their lack of appropriate security.”

Ice Spice’s McDonald’s Fight

Also, the outlet reportedly spoke with Vayah, the woman that fought with Ice Spice at the McDonald’s. She reportedly claimed Spice rudely called her a “b***h” when she tried to show her love, which is why she attacked her.

We will see if this leads to any significant legal action or more updates on the matter. Hopefully nothing too dangerous went down here. As fans scrutinize what they saw, they wonder if Spice or Vayah have anything else to say about it.

Elsewhere, Ice Spice is speaking on weight loss speculation and navigating other gossip rumors about her personal life. This new video doesn’t bode well for the gossip train moving forward. Whether she addresses it or not, at least nothing more serious seems to have emerged from this.

In the midst of this jumping, he managed to pull out a gun and fire some shots at his attackers. Whether or not Ben 10 was one of those assailants remains to be seen. Nonetheless, he was struck by the gunman, along with one other man.

Both were sent to the hospital and were reported to be in “very critical condition” by Lieutenant R. Wilkins. But even though NBA Ben 10 is still recovering, he’s not stressing over his situation.

As caught by No Jumper, he posted this message. “Getting shot !??! ok ian trippin. we serve TWO different Gods must be [laughing emojis]… My FATHER TOLD ME MY TESTIMONY ALREADY [laughing emojis] LIFE SUPPORT HAS NEVER BEEN UP A OPTION!”

He continues, “I BEEN UP JUST ON GODS TIMING RN! #CRAZYMAN i thug every night just to go to CHURCH ON THA FRESH SUNDAY. to the YOUTH MAKE THIS GOOD FRIDAY COUNT!”

NBA Ben 10 AllStar JR Beef

NBA Ben 10 also posted a video of himself eating some breakfast in his hospital bed. He captioned the clip, “god got me, my nuts literally hang to the flow [ninja emoji]! [middle finger emoji] wrong with a n**** [ninja emoji].”

Overall, it’s good to see that he’s doing well and keeping a positive mindset. But this message can also be viewed as a response to all of the taunting from AllStar JR. The Detroit rapper has been dissing him on wax and teasing him being shot by promoting a $10,000 challenge.

He also has suggested that he was allegedly the one who shot NBA Ben 10 and was the person getting jumped. His post of him in a jewelry store raised eyebrows earlier this week. “Had To Shoot To The D And Get New Ice Cuz My Mans Ben 10 Took Some Of My Stuff To The Hospital With Him,” he captioned the upload.

“I don’t really care about what people do in their off-time, but when you wanna just openly admit at 40-something that you’ve been sucking d**k when you was a teenager, I can’t really rock with you,” Cam explained. “‘Cause you wanna be gay when you wanna be gay when it’s convenient.”

“I don’t have nothing against gay people, but how you just gonna make yourself gay when s**t ain’t going right?” he added. “Said you was sucking your cousin’s d**k when you was little, and not once, you was randomly sucking his d**k consistently.”

Cam’ron later admitted during an episode of Talk With Flee that he’d received a fiery message from Ye in response. He made it clear that he still stands by what he said, despite being labeled a bully. “I don’t get that,” he said. “Somebody comes out and says something. I say something about what they said, and now I’m the bully.”

Now, 50 Cent has taken to social media to share his take on all of this. Earlier today, he shared a video of Cam discussing Ye’s message. He’s siding with the rapper-turned-podcaster, even though they’ve had their differences in the past.

“Yeah you can’t suck d*ck for 6 years and not be gay,” he wrote on Instagram. “WTF is going on with Ye LOL.”

Ye isn’t the only person Fif has trolled recently, however. He also took aim at Floyd Mayweather this week with a now-deleted Instagram post, referencing reports that the IRS hit the boxer with a $7.3 million tax lien. “Damn Champ popped and panicking,” he reportedly wrote. “I told him let me read the contracts you can’t trust them. AI’s a f***ing Harvard graduate they will knock the money off right in front of you fool. SMH now look!”

The singer’s attorneys have since come to his defense, vowing to “vigorously defend David’s innocence.”

“Let us be clear — the actual evidence in this case will show that David Burke did not murder Celeste Rivas Hernandez and he was not the cause of her death,” they said in a statement shortly after the arrest. “There has been no indictment returned by any grand jury in this case and no criminal complaint filed. David has only been detained under suspicion.”

What Happened To Celeste Rivas?

Amid all of this, Interscope Records has removed D4vd’s page from its website, per TMZ. Reportedly, he was listed on there at the end of February, and it remains unclear exactly when he was removed.

News of D4vd’s arrest comes roughly seven months after the remains of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas were discovered in the trunk of his abandoned Tesla. The teen went missing from Lake Elsinore in 2024. Her cause of death has yet to be determined.

“D4vd has been informed about what’s happened,” a spokesperson said shortly after Rivas’ remains were discovered. “He is fully cooperating with the authorities.” The remainder of D4vd’s “WITHERED” world tour was later canceled as a result of the investigation.

Rivas’ brother told NBCLA in September that their family was aware that she allegedly knew D4vd. He alleged that when she first went missing back in 2024, she was on her way to see a movie with him.

During the interview, Keem reflected on the loss of his uncle Gerrell in 2015 after going to a casino, one of many stories that inspired his new album. He said he felt lost after this tragedy and spotted his cousin K.Dot in the crowd while delivering a eulogy at the funeral.

“Watching Keem speak at the funeral displayed the making of a man,” Kendrick stated. “It reminded me of all the realities I faced which shaped who I am today. I watched Keem carry the burdens of everyone’s grief, including his own, all while maintaining the dignity and honor of his uncle. We’re merely a reflection of our leaders, and Keem led the family to a place of love, compassion, and closure. Another level of respect was my gratitude.”

A few days later, they began to link up and connect for collaborations, and the rest is history.

Baby Keem & Kendrick Lamar Collabs

For those unaware, the two have multiple collaborations under their belts since 2021. These include “family ties,” “range brothers,” “The Hillbillies,” “Savior” and its interlude, and most recently, “Good Flirts” and “House Money.”

Baby Keem spoke on Kendrick Lamar elsewhere during this interview, specifically about the Drake beef. “For me, it felt like a sport,” he said. “I was so confident that sometimes you forget to be proud… Knowing that the greatest artist of all time, in my opinion, is a fan of my work and what I can do — all cousins aside, all everything aside — that gives me the most confidence in the world.“

Meanwhile, Kendrick Lamar may be dropping new music soon, as the rumor mill recently activated once again around a potential 2026 release. We’ll see if that pans out, and whether or not those purported plans will include his cousin for another collaboration.

“I know it takes time to understand the sincerity of my commitment to make amends. I take full responsibility for what’s mine, but I don’t want to put my fans in the middle of it. My fans are everything to me. Looking forward to the next shows. See you at the top of the globe.”

But even though he’s trying to take accountability for his bigoted rants and anti-Semitism, most countries are going to need more time to welcome him back. Poland has just joined that list as they have put a stop to his upcoming show.

Per Reuters, Slaski Stadium director Adam Strzyzewski broke this news on his Facebook. “We would like to inform you that the Ye (Kanye West) concert planned for 19 June 2026 ​at the… Slaski stadium will not take place due to ​formal and legal reasons.”

Reportedly, this wasn’t a shocking outcome.

On Thursday, Polish Culture ​Minister Marta Cienkowska was very much against the idea of having Kanye West enter their country. “In a country scarred by the history of the Holocaust, we cannot pretend that this is just entertainment, she said.

Slaski Stadium, known in English as Silesian Stadium, is located in the western city of Chorzow. It can hold over 54,000 people following some updates in 2017.

Kanye West’s Upcoming European Shows

But for the time being, Ye won’t be able to perform there. Overall, things were looking up for the Chicago rapper after his massive shows in Mexico City and Los Angeles earlier this year. But with a lot of countries in Europe having a horrific link to the Holocaust, it’s really put a damper on his comeback.

As it stands now, the 48-year-old artist has seven shows overseas still on the schedule. Next up is New Delhi, India on May 23. On the 30th, he’s lined up to perform in Istanbul. Then, in June, fans in the Netherlands will have two concerts: one on the sixth and the second on the eighth.

After that, Ye will be in Italy for the Helwatts Festival on July 18. To wrap things up, Madrid, Spain will welcome him on the 30th before he travels to Portugal for an August 7 appearance. But with these bans piling up, none of these are guarantees.

According to Diverse Mentality on Twitter, 50 uploaded and later deleted an Instagram post this week showing a supposed IRS class on how Mayweather allegedly lost a lot of money and mishandled his finances. “Damn Champ popped and panicking,” he allegedly wrote. “I told him let me read the contracts you can’t trust them. AI’s a f***ing Harvard graduate they will knock the money off right in front of you fool. SMH now look!”

Per Complex, the tax lien is reportedly over allegedly unpaid federal taxes from 2018 and 2023 and joins other financial controversies and mismanagement allegations. Of course, this is Fif we’re talking about, so his perspective will always be more at his expense. But it seems like things continue to grow complicated for the legendary boxer, and his foes won’t help.

50 Cent & Floyd Mayweather’s Beef

For those unaware, 50 Cent and Floyd Mayweather’s beef stems from business as well. A partnership broke down in 2012, specifically over claims that Mayweather didn’t support the TMT Promotions venture with 50. Their years-long friendship and dynamic quickly vanished in the years following, with many trolls and attacks flying back and forth. Most infamously, the rapper continues to troll the boxer for alleged illiteracy.

Other ways in which the G-Unit mogul has clowned Floyd include jokes about a $340 million lawsuit dispute with Showtime. For the record, the boxer and his team have denied assumptions that he’s facing a lot of financial trouble. There are also questions around his Manny Pacquiao rematch and its specifics that contribute to this overall narrative, which he and his team deny the veracity of.

As such, we only wonder what else might happen between these two and if Fif will ever leave Mayweather alone. Elsewhere, 50 Cent’s appearance in the Street Fighter trailer has fans pretty excited for the video game adaptation.
