Kodak’s lawyer, Bradford Cohen, told the outlet that there was no settlement in the case and the two won’t be refiling. He explained: “This lawsuit filed by Gloria Allred, might have been the dumbest, most ridiculous lawsuit I have ever read. As I said when this idiotic lawsuit was filed, they would not get a dime. This was light work for me and our L.A. office run by Zoe Aron. Luckily for them, our client decided to forgo filing a motion for his attorney fees, and let them whimper away with their tail between their legs. This should be a warning and a lesson to dopey attorneys, filing dopey lawsuits, come for our clients and we will come for you.”

In the original filing, Schaefer and Rahman listed Justin Bieber as a defendant as well, but dismissed him from the case a few months afterward. They tried to seek a $62 million judgment, but a judge shot down the figure. They attempted another request for $10.6 million, but that failed as well.

As for the shooting, it took place at an invite-only party Justin Bieber had been hosting for Super Bowl Weekend. Other celebrities in attendance included Lil Baby, Drake, and Gunna.

Kodak took a shot in the leg during the incident. Schaefer was shot above his right ankle, while Rahman was hit in his left shoulder. “I witnessed Kodak Black initiate the altercation with patrons outside of the subject location, which was the catalyst for the series of events that led to gun violence,” Rahman alleged in a filing, last year.

“He told DDG, ‘No one listens to your music, it f*cking sucks,’ to his face and they were going back and forth.” N3on then claims it’s not going to be seen in the final video because of how much swearing was exchanged. Moreover, he doesn’t know what sparked it but claims it did happen per Akademiks TV.

Later on, xQc hopped onto a Kick stream of his own where he reacted to N3on’s claim. He seemingly confirms it to be true but that it wasn’t as serious as his contemporary made it out to be. “I was firing shots at everyone in there,” he claimed. “I was just having fun with it.”

However, it seems like DDG thought much more of the situation.

Do DDG & xQc Have Beef?

Another clip is gaining traction online where the “Pink Dreads” artist dished out a sly remark. While on his own stream, the Michigan native reacts to what appears to be footage from this forthcoming MrBeast video.

The clip he’s watching is of xQc shooting a basketball, which DDG finds quite amusing. “Just the jump shot, no shoes—It’s a nice white man right here man. Just doesn’t make sense for me to be even going back and forth with this n****, man,” he says in a supposed response to the alleged trash talking from xQc.

xQc took exception to DDG’s diss, calling out the double standard if he were to make a racist joke. “Now reverse the roles though… Is my jump shot not cool enough? Am I not f*cking tough enough? If I said something something black man, I would be f*cking cancelled forever.”

He also believes DDG doesn’t understand the “streaming game” and that he’s just trying to create something entertaining for people to watch.

Overall, this seems to be a continuation of some previous issues that arose late last year. In December, xQc and another white streamer, Asmongold, accused DDG of viewbotting. The father of one believed the comments were racially charged saying, “Y’all don’t put these allegations on nobody that looks like y’all, bro… It’s always n*****s got a viewbot.”

Him and Nevaeh are ecstatic in the livestream clip as they embrace with a big hug and celebrate with one of Blue’s kids. Despite what you may think of the MC, you can’t help but smile a little bit as him and Nevaeh scream and jump with great joy.

If you’re wondering when they announced they were expecting, it all went down in late February during another one of his livestreams. While on camera, him and Nevaeh showed the results of two different pregnancy tests, with a less accurate and more reliable one having positive results.

They were both ecstatic then, with Blue hilariously congratulating Nevaeh on having a “Blueface baby.”

Additionally, he joked that she was now an official member of the “Blueface Cavaliers.” “Congratulations, you’re having a Blueface baby. Congratulations. You made it,” he joked.

We are wishing Blueface and Nevaeh the best going forward as they embark on this new journey together. Hopefully, if all goes according to plan, the hitmaker will welcome a fourth child to his clan.

The last time he helped bring new life into the world was September 2023. That year, him and Chrisean welcomed their first and only child, a son who now goes by Chrisean Jr.

He also has two kids with another one of his exes in Jaidyn Alexis. They co-parent a boy named Javaughn Jamal Porter and a girl, Journey Alexis Porter. Javaughn was born first, entering the world in 2019 while Journey arrived in 2022.

For the report, Bloomberg Businessweek studied 1,500 hours of live footage from 25 players. They found that Drake won big twice as frequently as the next-luckiest bettor.

Stake’s Lawsuit

The report comes as Stake, Drake, and Adin Ross are facing a class-action lawsuit alleging that their livestreams using the platform mislead users about the risks and rewards of gambling. The filing accuses Drake and Ross of “glamorizing” a “highly addictive” product that “threatens the welfare of Missouri residents and especially its young people.” They have both denied any wrongdoing. Drake has been posting about his bets on Stake since reportedly signing a $100 million endorsement deal with the company in 2022.

Stake told Bloomberg Businessweek that their findings were “categorically incorrect,” arguing that comparing win rates across different games “ignores how game mathematics work.”

Stake Cofounder Ed Craven previously shut down the idea of brand influencers getting better odds in a blog post in 2022. “I can assure everyone that despite certain widespread notions of odds being rigged in some people’s favors or money not being real, we have no direct control of the odds of any of our games as these are controlled by a third-party,” he wrote at the time. “Odds are the same for all players regardless of their sponsorship status and money spent by promoters is very real. Real odds, real money, real players- These are things I believe should be the industry norm when it comes to influencer marketing.”

The G-Unit boss also wrote in his comment section that “GOD” told him to share this. Obviously, that didn’t sit well with Benzino, so he decided to come back with a dastardly response. As caught by No Jumper, he did so by taking direct inspiration from King Harris, who’s also been feuding with 50 as of late.

If you can recall, King Harris created a t-shirt with the New York native’s late mom’s face on it. He’s been making it a point to use this angle in his battle with 50, who trolled his dad T.I. with an unflattering photo of their matriarch.

In the clip, Benzino encourages folks to cop the shirt saying that it’s available “in all colors.” He also takes a moment to shout-out the Harris’ for the creative assist while going in on 50 Cent for how he’s handled that feud.

“Go tell that big block-head n**** to stop clowning and get in the booth and battle this n**** man… Nobody tryna give a f*ck about these memes and all the sucker sh*t he doing… Get in the booth and battle the n****,” Benzino says.

This could be another story to watch going forward, so stay tuned.

But as for Benzino’s aforementioned injuries, he suffered them after allegedly being hit by a car. Specifically, it was one allegedly driven by Diamond from Love & Hip Hop. Tasha K tweeted about the incident writing, “He alleges that he caught Althea (his ex) attempting to remove their son from school despite him being the sole custodial parent. He says he chased them to the car, and during the chaos, Diamond from Love & Hip Hop allegedly struck him with her new vehicle.”

Diamond wasn’t too happy with that claim, so she told her side of the story.

“Sending me a picture with your no neck a*s laying with a f*cking brace on your neck talking about ‘I struck you with my new car.’ And then how do you even know my car new? Like n****s is weird as f*ck. So I came on here to clear my name up because b*tch, nobody hit you with no motherf*cking car. You’re weird as f*ck. That ain’t got sh*t to do with me. I was bringing my friend to come check on her son and do a wellness check on her son.”

“I was listening to Jay-Z’s Blueprint,” YoungBoy says in the clip, as shared by XXL. “That boy say, I think at 31 years old or some sh*t, that boy said, ‘You are now looking at a $40 million n***a.’ And I was just sitting back thinking to myself, how blessed I am and ahead of the f**king game I am.”

YoungBoy continues: “Boy, you know what you looking at? I ain’t even gon’ pop that, because like this, God will take it from you. So I’ma chill on you.”

While he rapped about being worth $40 million when he released The Blueprint back in 2001, Jay-Z’s net worth has skyrocketed in the decades since. With the success of Roc-A-Fella Records, Roc Nation, the sale of the streaming service Tidal, and the success of many more business endeavors, he became hip-hop’s first billionaire in 2019.

As for NBA YoungBoy, he is coming off a massively successful year in 2025. He embarked on the MASA Tour, which helped him bring in $70 million in earnings. This January, he dropped his follow-up to MASA, Slime Cry. On that album, he collaborated with Burna Boy and Jelly Roll. The project debuted at number six on the US Billboard 200 after moving 70,000 album-equivalent units. The release marked his seventeenth time reaching the top ten on the chart.

Fif captioned the picture writing “LMAO” and adding a bunch of laughing emojis. Additionally, he said in his own comments section, “GOD TOLD ME TO SHARE THIS [flushed face emoji].”

It did receive a lot of laughs, but some folks weren’t all that amused. “It’s official 50 cent is hurting and miserable,” one user replies. Another writes back, “You keep laughing and trolling all your colleagues going through life.. remember one day it’s going to be your turn. Life happens to everybody. The cruise was funny at first but too much of everything is bad. How are you always happy.”

This eventually got back to Benzino, who clapped back at Fif per Soap Central. In a clip caught by HitsOnFye Worldwide, the 60-year-old does by wearing a shirt with his longtime foe’s late mother on it. He says he was inspired by King Harris and T.I. to create his own version.

He also showed his support in their efforts to diss Fif with music instead of memes, which Benzino condemns. “Destroyed his a*s,” he says of the Harris family. “Go tell that big, block-head n**** to stop clowning and get in the booth and battle this n****, man… Nobody tryna give a f*ck about these memes and all the sucker sh*t he doing… Get in the booth and battle the n****.”

50 Cent & T.I. Beef

As for that beef between and 50 Cent and T.I., it’s calmed down a bit in recent days. However, up until late last week, the feud was intense. Things reignited between these two after Tip accused the New York rapper of backing out of a Verzuz battle.

It had been the crux of their issues before, but a new interview breathed life back into this situation. From there, 50 insulted T.I.’s wife, Tiny, by posting an unflattering photo of her online. That sparked the Atlanta MC to drop four diss tracks and his son, King Harris to release two of his own as well.

Did Cardi B & Stefon Diggs Break Up?

Cardi B went public with her relationship with Stefon Diggs, last year, amid her divorce from Offset. That November, they welcomed their first child together. Rumors of a rift between the two began circulating online at the Super Bowl. While Cardi attended the event to make an appearance during Bad Bunny’s Halftime Show, she didn’t stick around to support Diggs for the end of the game. When it ended, the two unfollowed one another on Instagram.

The latest concert isn’t the first time Cardi has seemingly referenced Diggs during the Little Miss Drama Tour. She previously responded to BIA calling him out on X (formerly Twitter) with a fiery shot. “Let me tell you somethin’. Just ’cause I ain’t f*cking with my baby daddy doesn’t mean you get to talk about my baby daddy, b*tch,” she said on stage. BIA had posted: “Can u name someone with more [baby mamas] than receiving yards? I can!”

Cardi B kicked off the Little Miss Drama Tour, last month. She’s already performed in Portland, Seattle, San Francisco, and more cities. She’ll continue performing in North America with shows in New York City, Houston, Boston, and more before wrapping up in Atlanta on April 18. The tour comes after the release of her sophomore album, Am I the Drama?, which she put out back in September.

It’s a reset that hopes to bring some newfound “clarity” amid what’s been a difficult stretch as of recently. “Kimora’s decision to change her name legally—back to Kimora Lee—is rooted in a commitment to clarity and ownership,” a statement reads.

It then touches on those issues and what she says are fallacies about her in the news. “She is no stranger to controversy. Recently, The New York Post published an article based on a flawed premise and full of inaccuracies. That piece has since been quietly revised on multiple occasions in an attempt to evade accountability.”

In addition, “She has threatened to sue—and is suing others—in order to combat bad deals and dishonest attempts to bully and extort her out of what has always been rightfully hers. Her focus remains on protecting her family, building a legacy, and moving forward with grace and power.”

Lee’s statement ends with a sense of great optimism. “While some areas of her business and brand portfolio will reflect this evolution, she welcomes the transition as an opportunity to move forward with greater intention and cohesion.”

We will see if Russell Simmons has anything to say about this. They are already in a fierce lawsuit against one another, with him suing his ex-wife. He accused Kimora of conspiring with her estranged husband, Tim Leissner, to fraudulently transfer around four million Celsius shares to cover Leissner’s legal expenses.

Leissner, a former Goldman Sachs banker, plead guilty in connection to the 1MDB scandal. He admitted to stealing millions and participating in a global fraud scheme. He was sentenced to two years in federal prison.

“The opening was a huge success with strong community support,” the spokesperson told CBS News. “There was an incident nearby, but it was not connected to the event. The opening itself proceeded safely and without issue.”

In one video on social media, Stevie Wonder orders food and speaks with Nipsey Hussle’s brother, Blacc Sam. He was one of several celebrities in attendance. YG, Snoop Dogg, and others also made appearances.

The Marathon Burger Instagram account shared a clip of Snoop at the event as well, in which he remarks: “We thank y’all for coming out, we love y’all. L.B.C in the house tonight.” In the caption, the company wrote: “Don’t let the media fool you. It was a beautiful energy in the atmosphere today. It was so packed and powerful someone had to hate on it.”

Police are still investigating the incident, and a motive remains unclear. “The motive, circumstances of the shooting, and suspect information remain under investigation,” Long Beach Police Department spokesperson Andrea Moran said, according to the Long Beach Post.

Eric VanDyke, a relative of Nipsey Hussle, told ABC7 that the late rapper would’ve wanted the event to be peaceful. “It was disappointing because I know that Nip, Blacc Sam [Nipsey Hussle’s brother] wanted this to be a happy occasion, so it’s unfortunate that something happened that would bring more attention to the negative elements as opposed to the positive elements,” he said.

The shooting comes after the city of Los Angeles renamed the intersection of Crenshaw Boulevard and Slauson Avenue as “Nipsey Hussle Square.”
