In a tweet from January 2, 2024, the Las Vegas-raised rapper wrote “child with wolves.” This became the title that fans were expecting for two years. But when that didn’t happen, we (assumedly along with many others) thought that was merely a tentative name and nothing more.

However, thanks to a new interview with Nadeska Alexis caught by Kurrco, Baby Keem has revealed that to not be the case. In fact, Child With Wolves is a separate body of work altogether—”more of a sadder body work”—he says.

He further explains that while the title did change, it didn’t become Ca$ino. “Child With Wolves became Janice, my mother’s name. I wouldn’t say Child Of Wolves became Ca$ino.”

While it’s unclear if Child With Wolves is scrapped or not, it’s still really cool to hear how this album evolved with time.

Baby Keem Ca$ino First Week Sales

He reveals that on top of CWW being more personal, Keem shares it wasn’t as “accessible” as Ca$ino. He says he was rapping only about past experiences and that he wasn’t living in the moment enough. That’s probably why the wait was nearly five, full years.

Keem says traveling the world and making new memories inspired more upbeat and lovey songs like “Dramatic Girl” and Birds & the Bees.”

But with this out there now, hopefully we do in fact get to hear Child With Wolves one day.

It would be incredible if we could get it this year, especially with how stacked 2026 has been for rap. Keem has certainly played a role in that regard, selling nearly 72,000 copies first week. That helped catapult Ca$ino to a number four debut on the Hot 200, the best mark of his still young career.

“When n****s started trolling, I do sh*t that a n***a wish he could do. Walk through your neighborhood,” he said in a video. “Walk through your hood first. You wanna play all these gay a** jokes and sh*t. Walk through your neighborhood and let’s see how the folks treat you with no security… I ain’t got nothing to say to you. I’m getting money in my hood. You ain’t even funny no more. We all know you’re a joke.”

It didn’t take long for 50 Cent to fire back. In an Instagram post of his own, he took a couple of shots at his former collaborator, making it clear that he stands by his social media antics.

“Look at this punk a** we know you like them boys BUCK,” he declared. “Brorilla like the girls, that’s a better fit around here PUNK! You in your hood because, you broke boy.”

Who Does 50 Cent Have Beef With?

Buck responded once again in a now-deleted post on Instagram. It featured some alleged blueprint screenshots of the tunnels rumored to be under the Playboy Mansion.

“‘You worried about tellin LIES’ but the TRUTH is Hollywood gets weird,” he captioned the post, per Complex. “What went on at the mansion #50Cent Curtis??? The internet be LOUD… But them mansion nights be QUIET.” At the time of writing, 50 Cent has not publicly responded to Young Buck’s post.

He’s far from the only person the mogul has been with. Fif is also currently at odds with Maino, Jim Jones, Diddy, Dame Dash, and many more.

“I want to show you guys the power to embrace hate. Embracing hate, you guys can find ways to weaponize it,” he declared at the time. “I used to struggle with caring about what people thought. […] I’ve got a wall of all the hate that I received, to motivate me even more.”

While many found this concept to be inspiring, Soulja Boy begs to differ. In a clip shared by Kurrco, he mocks Cenat for everything he said about the hate wall, making it clear that he finds it laughable.

Did Kai Cenat Quit Streaming?

“How the f*ck you get a million subscribers then you talking about ‘I quit,'” he asked. “You ain’t streamed in 6 months… Create the content, weirdo.”

Cenat announced his pivot into fashion in January, revealing that he would be taking a step back from streaming to focus on his clothing brand without quitting altogether.

“I quit… thinking in my head of the goals I want to achieve and not pursuing them because I’m known for one thing and super scared of stepping out of that box to try new things,” he said. “I want to push limits to see how much I truly can create in life.”

“When I look at a brand, I also perceive it and look at it like it’s a perfect brand because they make it look so easy,” he added. “I want mine to be, they see everything, they see like, when I fail, they see when I achieve, they see when I’m doubting myself, and they see when I overcome it.”

But Mona is taking it upon herself to put a stop to this tension by calling off their beef. A clip from her Don’t Call Me White Girl Show is making the rounds online of her doing so. She explains that she’s got no interest in going back and forth with Ak for the simple fact that she doesn’t know what she’s supposed to say back.

For some context, the independent hip-hop reporter tried make fun of her past health issues earlier this month. “You had like 8 strokes and you still ain’t get out of here….shiii” he said on a stream.

Mona also points to Ak’s past debates with women, noting maybe his most infamous one with Erykah Badu. As a result, she’s good on tangling with him going forward and would much rather just let it go.

However, Akademiks isn’t too happy about her “waving the white flag.” Taking to X, he reacted to the clip with more insults. “I’m saddened this crackhead waved the white flag in the first round. I had 5 ppl who she scammed for their last dollar in their bank accounts ready to tell their story. What did she think going at me would look like?? A bunch of ‘ya mama’ jokes??”

Why Do DJ AKademiks & Mona Have Beef?

In a separate tweet he added, “Imma leave this crackhead alone. But once again.. lemme recap.. this 5x stroke drug addict dissed me for 6 years. I responded in 1 month. She said I I went too far. Baby girl this ain’t ur sport. Just be the replacement crackhead washed up Melissa ford and stay ur place.”

In that clip, Mona does admit to talking trash on Akademiks first and “for years.” In her explanation of her reasoning she says, “I just wasn’t a fan of it. Going viral, yelling at the b*tches, like that sh*t corny… He’s not my cup of tea.”

So, in actuality, that’s kind of what sparked this feud to begin with. Although, you could say it restarted after Ak trolled Maino and the Let’s Rap About It podcast’s fashion sense. Mona wasn’t a fan, prompting her to lash out. “I’m not a fan of people who are not in the streets at all doing all street content,” she explained. “You have to be at least adjacent to it to be able to report on it.”

In it, they alleged that Ye illegally sampled their song “Drink a Yak (Part 2)” on his 2024 Vultures 1 track with Ty Dolla $ign, “Fuk Sumn.” A rep for the Chicago hitmaker allegedly reached out to the artists in an attempt to clear the samples legally. Allegedly, however, no agreement was ever reached.

“After numerous unsuccessful attempts at resolving this matter directly with the responsible parties, plaintiffs have been left with no other method of recourse than to bring this cause of action,” the plaintiffs’ attorneys wrote.

Kanye West’s BULLY Release Date

Yesterday (March 18), both parties confirmed that they’ve “reached a settlement agreement in principle resolving all claims between them.” At the time of writing, details of the settlement have not been made public.

News of Ye’s settlement comes just a few days before he’s expected to drop his long-awaited twelfth studio album, BULLY. He’s been teasing the project for some time now. Earlier this month, billboards popped up in L.A. featuring what appeared to be a hint about the project’s release date.

The supposed hint in question was simply the date March 27, 2026. It was previously reported by Rolling Stone that the album would drop on March 20, though knowing Ye, it’s very possible that things have changed. The upcoming LP is said to feature themes of “remorse, memory, ego, faith, and consequence.”

Caught by Kurrco, a camera tracks Big Mama’s legs as she walks towards a what looks to be a leopard cub. While strutting, Latto’s narration plays in the background. “I ain’t go missing, I had to give y’all time to miss me.”

She continues, “Before you run the game, you gotta take baby steps to go the distance. Home to the studio, studio back home. Listen to every beat, feeling every kick. Ever since I was a little girl I always dreamed of having my own. Big mama.”

Latto then concludes with, “But this time, the stakes way bigger. Now it’s on me to deliver,” while feeding the leopard cub a bottle of milk. The trailer cuts to a black screen which reads “Midnight” in white lettering. Interestingly, in the background, audio of what sounds eerily similar to a heartbeat can be heard as well.

With that context in mind, some of her fan base thinks this isn’t necessarily a new single or project announcement. Instead, a sector of supports believes Latto was subtly hinting that she’s going to be revealing that she’s pregnant.

“Big momma with baby?” and “Big mama.. One kid?” comments are all over the femcee’s Instagram post. Of course, we are going to take this with a major grain of salt heading into tonight.

But there’s some logic behind these fans’ thought process. Last month, Latto trolled folks online with a fake pregnancy reveal by wearing a prosthetic stomach.

Moreover, it’s worth mentioning that she finally confirmed that she’s really dating 21 Savage after years of rumors and secrecy. She did so last September in an interview with TMZ. Overall, the trailer’s hints and past events have fans believing that Latto took a big step forward with her man.

However, if it is just new music, it’s been a little bit since her last solo material dropped. Also in September, her and former rival Ice Spice linked up for the single “Gyatt.” In terms of albums, her last was 2024’s Sugar Honey Iced Tea which featured Ciara, Megan Thee Stallion, Cardi B, Teezo Touchdown, and more.

News of North’s latest teaser arrives just a couple of days after she unveiled a snippet of another unreleased song. It features a sample of her father Kanye West’s 2008 808s & Heartbreak track, “Coldest Winter.”

When Is Kanye West Dropping BULLY?

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by North West (@northwest)

North isn’t the only one in the family with new music on the way, either. Ye is also currently gearing up to drop his twelfth studio album, BULLY. Earlier this month, billboards promoting the LP were spotted in Los Angeles. One of them featured the date March 27, 2026, leading many to believe that’s when they can expect to finally hear the long-awaited project.

Before that, Rolling Stone reported that the album would drop on March 20. They also reported that it would include themes of “remorse, memory, ego, faith, and consequence.” Moreover, it was pointed out that BULLY is not supposed to be an apology of any kind, but instead a documentation of Ye’s personal experiences.

For those who don’t recall, he took out a full-page ad in the Wall Street Journal earlier this year to apologize to those he’s hurt over the years. According to him, his hateful tirades were a result of his bipolar disorder, and he’s now getting professional help.

In the video, the crew talks about how folks like 50 Cent and Akademiks are trying to master the social media algorithm with their trolling and trash talk. However, Ebro and Rosenberg home in on the latter and discuss how he’s essentially bashing radio hosts like them because he wanted to be “accepted” deep down.

After hearing Rosenberg make that claim, all Akademiks can do is sigh apathetically before letting the rest of the clip play.

Rosenberg goes on to say that Ak did want to be a DJ, but that career path didn’t pan out. He admits he’s doing great now and says folks like him may have been too harsh on the streamer and that’s why he’s beefing with Ebro and etc.

However, where things escalate is when Ebro chimes in. “He also just doesn’t have a social life. He can’t really go outside like that. I think that’s sad…”

DJ Akademiks & Ebro’s Beef

He continues, “It’s sad that you’re seen like a alcholic, degenerate loser who can’t go outside. Like that hurts my feelings for you.” Shockingly, Akademiks didn’t pause the video again. Instead, all he did was crack a smirk while showing off his assumed alcoholic beverage to the camera.

In the closing moments of the clip, Ebro claims he wasn’t trying to be mean. He claims that he’s just heard narratives about him regarding his drinking habits and crash outs on social media.

Moreover, Ebro believes because he goes on these vulgar rants, he thinks he’s afraid to leave his house unless he’s got security.

Overall, this just adds another layer to their fiery history and one that should do nothing but continue their beef. Akademiks did respond to Ebro and the crew, dismissing their ratings on the radio, explaining that streaming is king. He explains that’s why The Breakfast Club and Netflix are linking up.

Moreover, he responded to Ebro directly, challenging him to a one-on-one debate about anything. “I really think you’re, number one, full of yourself. Number two, it’s been shown that you’re just not that entertaining and you’re just behind the times. I rarely do this, but I’m down. Me and you, you can come to my studio if you want to and we can debate any topic. You don’t gotta send me the topics, just sit in front of me,”

As expected, social media users have a lot of feelings about the upcoming battle and are making them known. “Tyrese finna wash,” one Instagram commenter predicts. “Tank is gonna cook Tyrese,” another claims. Someone else simply says, “Need Ginuwine to do a halftime show.”

Chatter about a potential Verzuz battle between the two icons began all the way back in 2022. At the time, Tank appeared on the Drink Champs podcast, where he revealed that he and his former groupmate used to face off with vocal runs in an attempt to prove themselves.

“It was a run for run…Tyrese will tell you we went run for run on an EOL, ‘Elements of Life,’ video shoot,” he recalled. “We went note for note, and I said, ‘This is why I’m different.’ And he said, ‘Oooh,’ and that’s when he became my friend.”

It didn’t take long for Tyrese to respond. In an Instagram comment, he set the record straight. “Dear King Vocal let me be very very clear I don’t want NOOOOOO smoke on vocals,” he wrote. “When it comes to HIT vs HITS…I want all the smoke but I’m still not doing a Verzus with you cause you’re my brother…So we’re clear…I have no idea why the game want us to battle but I get it…”

Clearly, things have changed since then, and fans can’t wait to see who comes out on top. The Verzuz will follow a battle between Hit-Boy & Mike WiLL Made-It, which took place this January. It featured guest appearances from the likes of Rae Sremmurd, Big Sean, Juicy J, and more.
