Megan Thee Stallion Gears Up For Act III

“Hotties complaining while I’m in meetings securing us A BIG BUDGET for act III,” Meg wrote on Instagram. This confirms a few things. Firstly, the next album will be called Act III, or at least some variation on that.

Secondly, it confirms that Megan Thee Stallion is ready to create. However, she just needs to get the recording and media budget together. This, of course, means bigger features, lavish production, and some well-produced music videos. All of this costs money, and Meg seems confident that she will be able to secure the bag.

There will be large expectations placed upon this album. With some artists struggling to obtain sales and streams, it is becoming more and more difficult to differentiate oneself. Ultimately, Meg will have to rely on her loyal fanbase, who have supported her through thick and thin.

He subsequently got LaMelo in the NBA. Interestingly enough, Ball was just traded from the Charlotte Hornets to the Minnesota Timberwolves. As for LiAngelo Ball, he was never able to make an NBA career stick.

During LaVar’s rise to prominence, he had a reality TV show on Facebook called Ball In The Family. Overall, this show was a massive success, and it documented his marriage to Tina Ball. At the time, Tina had suffered a stroke, and he was aiding in her recovery.

On Wednesday evening, LaVar Ball revealed that after 30 years of marriage, Tina decided to file for divorce. “She wanted to go do something else that’s fine with me we had our run.. it is what it is,” LaVar explained.

LaVar Ball Talks Divorce

Ball didn’t go into specifics about the breakup, and we doubt that he ever will. However, as you can imagine, this revelation has led to all sorts of speculation on social media. Some fans are already concocting narratives that can only be classified as incel propaganda.

At the end of the day, no one actually knows the dynamics of the relationship. There are myriad factors why someone would want to leave a marriage after three decades.

Perhaps the biggest question here is: why is LaVar Ball streaming with N3on? Certainly, the Ball family patriarch has better things to do then do sitdown interviews with an online troll who can barely pretend to care about what he’s doing.

On Wednesday, Akademiks took to X after finding out that Billboard ranked Jay-Z’s “Roots Picnic Freestyle” as the seventh-best song of the year so far. This subsequently led to a lengthy rant from Ak, who alleged Roc Nation was paying for narratives.

“And jay z has open investigation into smear Campaigns from fan pages and billboard gives that weak ass freestyle best hip hop song of the year? Yeah roc nation might have to crumble. All they doing is tryna lie to us..we have eyes and ears and a brain, jay z propaganda won’t work,” Akademiks wrote. “Roc nation finna pull a political alignment this year… they got all their puppets working hard . They calling any criticism “smear campaigns”. Do not be fooled. These ppl r evil.”

DJ Akademiks Speaks His Mind

Subsequently, Akademiks accused Charlamagne of engaging in a propaganda campaign of sorts. Furthermore, he commended Joe Budden for not falling into the alleged trap.

“It hurt my heart watching my hip hop media idol Charlemagne spit roc nation talking points. I’m speechless. I was proud of Joe Budden tho at least he not on script even tho he def love him some hov. The rest of yall shills idc. Yall voices ain’t loud enough,” Ak concluded.

It seems like Akademiks’ new feud with Jay-Z and Roc Nation stems from their opposition to Drake. As we all know, Ak is good friends with Drake at this point, and he’s been going to bat for him since the rollout to ICEMAN.

Whether or not he can reconcile with Charlamagne is something that still remains to be seen.

In the case of The Weeknd, tension between these two artists has been ongoing for a decade. They’ve had an on-again, off-again friendship, but these days, it is clear the two want nothing to do with one another.

These days, The Weeknd has remained fairly reclusive. He is on a hiatus as he figures out his next musical era. Drake, meanwhile, remains active on social media, especially as he embarks on an ICEMAN victory lap.

On Wednesday evening, he took to his Instagram story and posted an array of images. However, there was one photo in particular that felt like a dig at The Weeknd. As you will see below, he posted a photo of a woman in a pool with a large XO tattoo.

Drake Gets Cryptic Again

Quite frankly, it is unclear what Drake was trying to say with this. We know that the artist is the king of subliminal messaging. Even if there is no meaning, he will do things to evoke a reaction. That said, we’re not so sure The Weeknd is going to ever publicly react to such a thing.

Interestingly, Drake would even want to post something like this, especially when you consider his success right now. ICEMAN has been the biggest album in the world for a month now. He continues to stack wins, and you’d think he wouldn’t need to do the petty stuff.

That said, his stanbase loves it when he does this kind of thing. It always seems to galvanize them, and the virality of this recent Instagram story proves that to be the case.

Rihanna has accompanied him on the majority of these tour stops. It has proven to be a family affair, which is something that fans have certainly appreciated. However, recent comments made by Rocky on stage have certainly rubbed some the wrong way.

In the clip below, Rocky tells the crowd, “thank god y’all didn’t know me when I was single, I would’ve f*cked the sh*t out of you if you was pretty.” It was a bold comment to make, especially when you consider how he has had three children with Rihanna since those single days.

A$AP Rocky With A Message

A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk)

Over on The Neighborhood Talk, this completely rubbed fans the wrong way. “Call me what you want but if I’m married to a billionaire I just wouldn’t be playing with my bag the way he does with Rihanna,” one person wrote. “She’s got all the kids she wanted. I’d tread lightly if I were him because she’s technically good now. If she doesn’t talk like this, neither should he. Seems like the men get overly confident at this point and start showing out. Saw the same thing with Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon,” said another.

Of course, no one on the internet knows how Rihanna actually feels about these comments. For all we know, she is cool with it and won’t have much to say about it. That said, there is always a chance that this may have caused some issues back at home.

Either way, the fans are showing out for the tour, and Rocky, at the very least, appears to be having a good time.

B2K is known for tracks like “Bump, Bump, Bump,” “Girlfriend,” and “Gots Ta Be.” Meanwhile, Pretty Ricky has a solid catalog with the likes of “On the Hotline” and “Grind with Me.”

This past Spring, the two R&B groups performed on the “Boys 4 Life” tour, and this inspired some competitive spirit. Now, both sides are going to put their catalogs to the test, where fans will be able to vote on who had the bigger hits.
