He didn’t elaborate too much but he did say, “I just wish I had never spoke on it. I wish I hadn’t said anything about it.” Perhaps some that disappointment stems from the fact that Lil Boat had a podcast interview with Drake recorded and ready to drop right around the feud’s beginning.

The Georgia multi-talent revealed that interfered with it coming out during an interview alongside his Concrete Boys with Bootleg Kev.

As caught by Complex, he recalls it was a good episode, too. Of course, the podcast we’re referring to is the “Poland” artist’s former show, A Safe Place.

“[It was recorded] right before the Kendrick thing. It was good, too, it was really funny,” Yachty recalled. But, “That thing happened… and then things happened, and then, boom.”

Are Drake & Lil Yachty Still Friends?

Bootleg Kev followed up by asking if the beef put him in a weird position. Especially since Yachty caught a stray on Kendrick’s “euphoria.” On that song, Lamar rapped, “Yachty can’t give you no swag neither, I don’t give a f*ck ’bout who you hang with.”

Despite the beef being the thing that became the interview’s demise, Yachty didn’t feel a type of way. “I don’t think it put me in a weird place. I was with Drake, for sure. So, it wasn’t like a limbo. I think it’s a sticky situation. I realized just it’s beyond me and I tried to stay out of it for real.”

That’s a comment that’s got potential to stir up some debate based things Yachty previous praise for Lamar. In part during A Safe Place episode he said, “I said to Drake, I told him, ‘I don’t feel like you won or lost.’ Rappers have lost and then lost everything. […] I think Drake will still be in everyone’s rap Spotify at the end of the year at the top. He can still drop hits and it will still control the summer. I think that Kendrick made very smart moves, and I don’t think Drake would disagree.”

From what we know, they are still good friends. For example, in a February interview with Shannon Sharpe he said nothing but good things about his “Another Late Night” collaborator. “Call it glazing if you want to, man. That’s my big brother… I think that he’s a great guy, and he’s done a lot for a lot of people.”

His post arrived after T.I. targeted him on not one, not two, but three different diss tracks. “You ain’t that savage, ni you 5-0 dispatcher / Ol tender d**k ni**a all mad ‘cause Puff let your b**ch have it / Gave her tartar sauce and mustard like a fish sammich,” he raps on one of them. “To me you just a small man in a big shell / B**ch made a*s ni**a need pigtails / You take no issues with them White boys / It’s only our people that you find to be an eyesore.”

The trap pioneer has since dropped a fourth diss track, making it clear that he’s not backing down.

Why Is King Harris Beefing With 50 Cent?

T.I. isn’t the only one going after 50 Cent these days, either. His 21-year-old son King Harris also jumped in after Fif dissed both him and his mother, Tiny. Just yesterday, he dropped paperwork dating back to 2009, which outlines how Fif allegedly placed an anonymous tip about Lowell “Lodi Mack” Fletcher’s murder investigation.

“I got 21 question but just answer this one,” he captioned it. “So who was ‘Lodi Mac’ Yall know? Whoever he was, after he died thats when freaky cent started to fear for his life. And…. well it’s up there. Is this who called my pops a rat wit NO BLACK & WHITE WELL HERES YOURS SIR.”

King also dropped a diss track called “Made Men,” in which he calls 50 Cent out for dissing his mother and more. “Ni**as speaking on my mama, I tell Chaz ring the alarm / Ni**as p*ssy, probably cross his legs and f**king fold his arms,” he raps. “He just want beef up on that net, I know that boy won’t pop a grape / He trying to trick me out the streets / Gon’ trick his a*s right in a lake.”

They are going to do whatever it takes to expose who they believe is the real 50 Cent behind all of the fortune and fame. That’s regardless of the extent or the boundary they will have to exceed in order to do so.

Tip is hammering that point home on his fourth diss track—second in the last 24 hours. However, he’s also looking to get the last word in with his tweet accompanying the audio.

“Yeah I changed my mind too FN!!!! I don’t want u to RAP bcuz we all know it’ll be A*S anyway!!!” he begins. “We just want you to answer to these Johnsons you juggling in real life!!!” Wildly, T.I. used the sex toy photo that his son King Harris posted to his Instagram. For those wondering the toy is a male’s body part which is sometimes referred to as a “Johnson.”

T.I. concludes by telling him to stick to the lane 50 is comfortable with if he really wants to carry on the beef.

“You can write a poem, draw a picture, do a dance or somn to explain this sh*t cause we wanna fckn know!!!! Now Keep on posting!!! Ion make memes I make music Pu$$yyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!”

Why Are T.I. & 50 Cent Beefing?

On the diss track, he encourages the G-Unit boss to learn from his losses and know that he’s made a grave mistake by challenging him.

He also sounds off on Fif for trying to make fun of his wife, Tiny, which is one of the reasons why this feud reignited last week.

But mostly, it stems from the fact that T.I. accused his longtime foe of backing out of a potential Verzuz battle. This was discussed even earlier this month in interviews, but tensions never reached the level they’re at now. Fif has also accused the Atlanta rapper of being a snitch, adding another layer to this debacle.

“If there’s anybody in the world that could not be happier that J. Cole’s Civic broke down, it’s me,” he said. “It’s me, I’m not gonna hide. I can’t, I jumped for joy when the news came across my feed that J. Cole and this stupid, performative a** Civic broke down like J. Cole knew it would. He came out and said, ‘This is the Civic from ’96 when I got my first–‘ That’s a Civic you shouldn’t be driving, Jermaine. Go get a new Civic.”

“Stop with this f*cking, ‘I’m rich, but I relate to you, college, this is the first car I drove when I had dreams.’ You’re talking about going from one side of the country to another side of the country in a car,” he concluded.

Joe Budden Defends J. Cole

Just a few days ago, Budden rushed to Cole’s defense when DJ Akademiks suggested that the “Trunk Sale” tour is performative. “He’s him, he’s in the Civic, he’s driving around, he’s meeting with his fans. Big turnouts at a lot of colleges. I saw Ak say that it was performative. What’s wrong with performers being performers?,” he asked. “There’s a billion ways to be performative, look at the way that he chose and what it represents.”

For this reason, Budden’s take left Ak confused, as seen in a clip shared by 2Cool2Blog on Twitter/X.

Shortly before defending Cole, Budden also commended him for the first-week sales of his new album, The Fall-Off. “Congratulations to J. Cole, really big number,” he said. “I’m really not shocked by it. He’s still big three. I know the narrative… but he is.”

This is a big deal in general, but also because Moulin Rouge! will be leaving Broadway after a lengthy seven years. It will depart the roster on July 26.

Megan’s excited to take this leap creatively, expressing as much in a statement caught by The Fader.

“Stepping onto the Broadway stage and joining the Moulin Rouge! The Musical team is an absolute honor. I’ve always believed in pushing myself creatively and theater is definitely a new opportunity that I’m excited to embrace.”

She adds, “Broadway demands a different level of discipline, preparation and storytelling. But I’m up for the challenge and can’t wait for the Hotties to see a new side of me.”

On top of this exciting update, her fans can also rest well knowing that she’s still very much dating Klay Thompson. Rumors of a breakup swirled last week after fans noticed they didn’t follow each other on Instagram.

No one knew how long this had been going on for or if they never followed each other to begin with. Nevertheless, Megan put those rumors to bed by sounding off on people for trying to “h*e” her with such false reports.

In fact, it seems they closer to engagement/marriage rather than splitting up. In a recent hangout with two winter Olympic athletes for her “Megan Takes Milan” YouTube series, she expressed how she’s been “manifesting” it for herself.

Per TMZ, Nicki has just been dropped by her lawyer. However, if that wasn’t rough enough, this has occurred amid a late 2025 lawsuit. Her now ex legal rep, Matthew Abbott, filed a request to withdraw from a $10 million one that was presented by a familiar foe, an ex-fan named Tameer Peak.

Abbott replaced the hitmaker’s longtime attorney, Judd Burstein, shortly after Peak refiled this massive defamation lawsuit, which was incredibly abrupt. Burstein said that it had nothing to do the “entirely frivolous” suit and was “unrelated to any concern about the merits of Peak’s claims.”

However, he didn’t give any direct explanation for leaving. Instead, Burstein said, “I believe that it would be inappropriate for me to discuss the reasons why I chose to decline the representation.”

Interestingly though, Burstein’s decision arose during the heat of Nicki’s recent political rants.

Now, Abbott is out as well after “several” unsuccessful attempts in trying to contact the superstar and her accountants over the last few months.

Nicki Minaj’s Beef With Gavin Newsom

He says that he’s even tried reaching her via text and email, but to no avail. It looks like Abbott already submitted a letter to the court asking to give an extension to Nicki so she can find a permanent attorney going forward.

Maybe contributing to this “communication breakdown is the fact that she’s been using her Twitter fingers a lot lately. She’s been busy reigniting her feud with California’s governor, Gavin Newsom, calling him out for his behavior.

Most recently, she put him on blast for how he talked to the state’s mayor, Andre Dickens. In a viral clip, Newsom seems to imply he’s not smart or qualified for the position.

“His way of bonding with black ppl is to tell them how stupid he is & that he can’t read. This means my first read on him was correct. He’s been handed so many things & put in high positions he never earned or deserved. Do you wanna know the craziest part of this footage that will haunt him forever? He’s literally slowing his speech down & talking in a sporadic cadence. He’s not just TELLING them that they’re all probably stupid & probably can’t read, he’s LITERALLY SLOW-ING-DOWN-HIS-SPEECH to make them understand the words that are coming out of his mouth!!!! As if they’re children!!!! That means he REALLY BELIEVES they’re slow. He’s not just saying it—he didn’t misspeak!!!! He BELIEVES it!!!!” she alleged.

Also, I like to see where this is coming from. That means there’s some other entity that got so much money, not only to promote their own, they got money to try to make someone else who they might be competing with not look good.”

“I also got offered one on A$AP Rocky, and I told them no,” he added. “I’m trying to do an interview with him. What do I look like?“

DJ Akademiks Disses Young Thug & Lil Baby

Akademiks may not be willing to accept money to make someone look bad online, but he never hesitates to throw some shade of his own whenever he sees fit. Earlier this week, for example, he weighed in on theories that Lil Baby and Young Thug have new music on the way.

“Am I expecting some heat from these two? I’mma be honest with y’all, no. I know some of y’all think I’m just gonna be hating. No, I’m gonna call a spade a spade,” he said frankly. “This is two ice cubes linking up together, man. They might as well be in the freezer together. That’s a fact.”

“They better be driving to Gunna’s crib,” he continued. “They better put in the GPS, ‘Gunna Wunna’s crib.’ Straight up. […] This is damn near the ice bucket challenge. Y’all might as well just go to Gunna’s crib. Gunna got the sauce, I’m sorry.”

Ben Shapiro will be producing it for The Daily Wire, and Dallas Sonnier will be producing it for Bonfire Legend. Other producers include Sydney Aucreman, Travis Mills, and Lillian Campbell. The Daily Wire and Bonfire Legend have worked with various “canceled” individuals in the past, including Armie Hammer, Gina Carano, and more.

Jonathan Majors Reflects On Assault Conviction

He reflected on the experience during a 2025 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, admitting that it was far from easy to deal with. “There were days when it was like, ‘Is this real?’” he explained. “It’s a heartbreak like I’ve never experienced and it just compounded and compounded.”

“At some point there has to be accountability for writing your own story,” he added. “Am I going to fall into that narrative of falling apart, of self-destruction? Have a struggle, blame the world, have a struggle, hate yourself, have a struggle, deny everything. None of those narratives is beneficial.” Instead, Majors said he planned to “Have a struggle, learn, metabolize, grow.”

He appears to have taken some steps in that direction in recent months, marrying Meagan Good, launching a fitness brand with her, and more.

It specifically was made during the filming of the immensely popular “Weekend Update” segment with Michael Che and Colin Jost. The quip revolved around Cardi’s mortal foe Nicki Minaj and her relationship with Donald Trump.

It’s unclear what the contents of the joke were, but it clearly got under the “Motorsport” rapper’s skin. Allegedly, the mother of four threw a phone at a TV monitor, punched a screen to a pulp, threatened to leave the show, etc.

As a result of her alleged feelings about it, the joke was cut. Overall, thanks to TMZ‘s sources, we now know that this supposedly did happen. They report that Cardi B was simply having a rough evening overall, and this seemingly sent her over the edge.

Did Cardi B & Stefon Diggs Break Up?

But even though this is something that Saturday Night Live doesn’t condone, it sounds like it’s water under the bridge. If Cardi B wants to return to the show at any point, they are going to welcome her back with open arms.

The Little Miss Drama performer has yet to address any of this yet, but we are sure this is good news for her.

It’s at least got to be in the grand scheme of things as there’s even more serious issues beyond this. If you didn’t hear, her and Stefon Diggs reportedly split just days before the New England Patriots’ Super Bowl loss.

A source with Us Weekly, who shared this revelation, added that this wasn’t the first time they broke up. “They are always so up and down. This isn’t the first time they have broken up.”

This tracks as Cardi revealed they weren’t together while onstage for her tour. The source also says, “Cardi is single and putting herself out there again. She feels free. He betrayed her so many times. Her friends have been trying to show her that he is not right for her and that she deserved better.”

“2026’s biggest album may come from his bête noire, Drake (OVO/Republic), who’s been teasing the release of ICEMAN for months,” the outlet declared. “When will ICEMAN cometh? Stay tuned.”

Of course, social media users have a lot to say about this take, and they’re sounding off on Twitter/X. “ICEMAN bout to freeze the charts again, 2026 already looking like Drake’s year fr,” one writes. “That’s what they say abt every Drake album, and it never fails to disappoint,” another claims. Someone else simply says, “Drake you need to drop this album please.”

When Is Drake Dropping ICEMAN?

At the time of writing, an official release date for ICEMAN has not been revealed.

Drake has been teasing the upcoming LP for over a year. Earlier this week, he shared a couple of cryptic hints at what’s to come on his Instagram Story. In doing so, he confirmed one crucial detail about ICEMAN: it will drop in 2026. He also sent a cryptic message to his enemies, indicating that he’s not messing around. “MAKE THEM CRY,” it read.

The Toronto rapper hasn’t been the only one teasing the album, either. Some of his peers have also teased the highly anticipated project, including Mal of the New Rory & Mal podcast, DJ Akademiks, and more. During an event this month, his collaborator Conductor Williams even spoke on the project, claiming that fans shouldn’t have to wait too much longer to hear it. “Ayo, however y’all feel about The Boy, ICEMAN is soon,” he stated. “Real soon.”
