Remy Ma Name-Drops Nicki Minaj On New “Alimony” EP

Gabriel Bras Nevares — Fri, 25 Sep 2026 20:26:49 +0000

Remy Ma is ready to let the music speak for itself after years of drama, as she dropped her new Alimony EP today (Friday, September 25). A lot of the conversation around the project (and its consistent references to marriage) has to do with Papoose, as they are going through a very messy divorce process right now. But fans also caught a reference to another infamous chapter in Remy’s story: the Nicki Minaj beef.

On the EP’s opener “Rem The Pen,” the New York star name-drops a few fellow femcees she’s a fan of, such as Cardi B and Lil’ Kim. But it was the next bar that got fans curious: “Me and Nicki will probably never speak again / But even that b***h told y’all I got a pen.”

Nicki Minaj and Remy Ma’s beef has a few chapters to it, namely its initial flare-up around 2007 and its full-on explosion in 2017 despite tensions having cooled off in years prior. These days, they haven’t done much else to continue the history beyond some coincidental and more casual references here and there, particularly on Remy’s part. While there’s certainly stronger drama around this release, this detail is one part that we might never get full answers or reconciliations to.

Remy Ma’s “Rem The Pen”

Elsewhere, Remy Ma issued a statement about Alimony and her intent with the project. “I wanted this project to feel like a conversation between women,” she stated. “We’ve all had those moments where you call your girls, look at yourself in the mirror, and say, ‘Girl, what are we doing?’ Sometimes you laugh, sometimes you learn, but you keep moving. Music has always been a place where I can express myself, and right now I’m really enjoying creating again. I want women to hear this, have fun with it, and see a little bit of themselves in it.”

Meanwhile, Papoose is fueling the Remy Ma fire, recently sharing alleged texts with a divorce attorney to tell his side of the narrative. Most fans are waiting on this dynamic for updates. But maybe Nicki will also step in soon to comment on this name-drop.

Peter Rosenberg Blasts Ye For Unveiling Donda West Street Sign

Gabriel Bras Nevares — Fri, 25 Sep 2026 20:04:04 +0000

On Tuesday (September 22), Kanye West attended the street renaming ceremony declaring East 78th Street in Chicago as “Dr. Donda West Way.” Ye pulled the cover off the sign himself after interrupting 7th Ward Alderman Greg Mitchell, paying tribute to his late mother and all she did for the city as an educator. While many folks found the moment heartening, this rubbed Peter Rosenberg the wrong way.

During yesterday’s (Thursday, September 24) episode of The Ebro, Laura, Rosenberg Show, the commentator said it was “effing weird” and pushed back on an off-camera producer who said, “Oh, come on… It’s his mom, bro,” as caught by CY Chels on Twitter. Rosenberg characterized it as a booking issue, but Laura Stylez and Ebro Darden were more understanding. However, Ebro suggested it reflects a pattern of interruption, whereas Peter clarified Donda absolutely deserves the honor.

Then, the cohosts got into Peter Rosenberg’s past criticisms of Kanye West, which recently manifested as a call-out to everyone quick to forgive the Chicago artist’s controversies and bigotries amid his successful shows. Rosenberg admitted he was focusing on the wrong thing, but lamented how, in his view, Kanye West is always inserting himself in situations in abnormal ways. “I’m sorry that her son turned out to be so weird and disappointing on so many occasions,” he added.

Peter Rosenberg says Ye insisting on unveiling the street sign honoring his OWN mother was “an insane thing to do” and says at nearly 50 years old with 4 kids, he should’ve just let the ceremony play out

Darden argued Ye has always been like this, so it’s not worth making a fuss out of, if you believe there’s a fuss to begin with. Rosenberg brought up Kanye’s previous Donald Trump support to point out his perception of similarities between the two in this regard.

Later, Peter said Ye is still an “amazing artist” despite his issues with him. Ebro pushed back on his criticism by positing Rosenberg would do the same if it was his mother receiving a street name in her honor. But they both seemed to laugh at the notion, with Rosenberg adding Kanye’s age into the mix as a point of criticism.

Elsewhere, Ebro and Peter Rosenberg are facing other Ye-related debates. For example, Kid Cudi called Ebro out after he spoke on a conversation they had about the Yeezy mogul.

Papoose Leaks Alleged Texts With Divorce Attorney Amid Remy Ma Split

Aron A. — Fri, 25 Sep 2026 19:38:23 +0000

Things have been quite heated between Papoose and Remy Ma in recent times, despite the fact that they clearly aren’t together. However, it appears that Pap is truly trying to see their divorce proceedings come to an end so they can both move on with their lives. Earlier today, Pap shared a series of text messages with his attorney regarding the divorce, in which he offered to give Remy all three properties that they share.

“I’ve decided to let her keep all of the properties. All I want is visitation with my [redacted]… I just want her out of my life. And divorce finalized,” one of his texts read, claiming that neither Remy nor her attorneys responded.

The texts reveal that a response eventually came on February 14th, 2026, but by then, he said that his previous deal was off the table. “The previous deal is now off the table. I’m gonna maintain my half in all properties. And I’m requesting to be paid for all the music I wrote for her,” the text reads.

Part of the reason this all spilled onto the timeline seems largely connected to the recent drama between them online. In fact, Pap wrote in the caption that he wanted her fans to continue to support her and help her move on from their relationship.

“To those of you who are fans of her: continue to support her. Instead of coming at me with false narratives & fake news, why don’t you use that energy to help her move on? We had a in person court date that she did not even show up to,” he wrote. “I have allowed her to lie about me because I knew the truth was too ugly for her. She chose to violate the marriage I waited for her to stop, and I even attended therapy with her. One day, I woke up and realized she was never going to stop. At that point I decided to move on with my life! Since I moved on, she has tried to get back with me numerous times, I repeatedly declined.”

Cam’ron & Mase Have Harsh Words For Colin Kaepernick’s NFL Aspirations

Gabriel Bras Nevares — Fri, 25 Sep 2026 19:06:11 +0000

The sports talk show It Is What It Is sees Cam’ron and Mase talk about the most buzzing and divisive topics in the athletic world today. These days, there have been a lot of conversations about Colin Kaepernick thanks to his book tour for his The Perilous Fight memoir. In his reflections on protesting racial injustice and how this led to his exit from the NFL, he revealed he still trains and wants to be a part of a team, which the rappers and commentators find odd.

“After you disrespect me publicly, we’re not going back on that,” Mase remarked, as caught by Killa on Twitter. “When it comes to business as an employee, that’s not going to happen again… When he took a stance, he took a stance for something that was bigger than football. And when you take that stance… You got to be okay with whatever it costs you… That’s the purpose of being an advocate or an activist… He didn’t calculate it… And there’s no way to backtrack the stance that you’ve taken…”

Cam’ron & Mase On Colin Kaepernick

“I don’t know what the new issue is [between Jay-Z and Kaepernick],” Cam added. “I don’t know the freestyle, I didn’t keep up with it. Because I know Jay-Z is Jay-Z. Colin Kaepernick is Colin Kaepernick. I’m pretty sure Colin Kaepernick, he got that nice settlement when he left, 20, 30 million dollars. Because of the whole lawsuit, I don’t remember how it happened… The situation when he took the knee and everything… They give him a chance to come back to the NFL… He says, ‘I want my receivers, and so we gon’ do it at the high school.’ […] ‘That n***a bat-s**t crazy…’ I’m not saying that about him. I’m just saying that’s what they’re saying. You have to follow protocol… It’s just the way it goes… I think they did that to be like, ‘Let’s cover our a** so they don’t say we didn’t give the n***a another shot.'”

Colin Kaepernick has also gone at Jay-Z amid all this, even claiming Roc Nation tried to plant hit pieces about him. For those unaware, that conflict is because of Hov and the Roc’s deal with the NFL following Kaepernick’s protests.

Chris Brown Dog-Mauling Accuser’s $12.9M Award Might Be Reduced Significantly

Aron A. — Fri, 25 Sep 2026 18:47:32 +0000

The woman who was awarded nearly $13M in court after suing Chris Brown over a 2020 dog attack could see the judgment cut down significantly. According to Rolling Stone, a judge’s tentative decision to reduce the damages could potentially see her award cut down to as much as 40% as the judge contemplated a tentative proposal that would eliminate more than $5M from the jury’s award. The final number, however, has yet to be determined.

Maria Avila, who worked as a housekeeper, was awarded $12.9 million after telling jurors that an attack by Brown’s dog left her with serious injuries to her arm and face, extensive scarring, and lasting physical and emotional consequences. During a court hearing on Thursday, her attorney, Nancy Doumanian, argued that the evidence presented at trial supported substantial compensation because Avila continues to experience problems stemming from the attack, including nerve-related impairment.

Chris Brown Dog Accuser’s Judgment

Judge Huey P. Cotton appeared reluctant to reconsider the overall reduction but said he would review arguments concerning how the damages should be divided.

“If your honor is convinced that some [scaling back] is warranted, then I’d ask for a lesser reduction. The magnitude of the current reduction is almost 40 percent. That’s over $5 million,” Avila’s lawyer, Nancy Doumanian, said. “Given the gravity and permanence of the injuries that Miss Avila had, we’d ask for a reduction to $11 million, your honor, not what the court is proposing.”

Following the verdict, Chris Brown’s legal team asked for a new trial. They argued that the damages were excessive and challenged the admission of evidence concerning his prior felony conviction, though they didn’t hear the details surrounding the conviction.

Bianca Censori Goes NSFW With See-Through Outfit During Outing With Ye

Gabriel Bras Nevares — Fri, 25 Sep 2026 18:42:38 +0000

Bianca Censori has spoken in the past about feeling misunderstood as a public figure, with many assuming her out-there fashion choices are indicative of something deeper than personal expression. Despite the pressures of Internet noise, she isn’t letting that limit her style. During an outing with her husband Kanye West, Censori donned a see-through top and debuted a new strawberry-blonde look that made heads turn.

TMZ caught footage of her and Ye leaving the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art yesterday (Thursday, September 24) in Los Angeles. Paparazzi caught a video of Bianca outside the car while Ye was inside, and they eventually stepped out. She wore a light and black see-through top with tight black leggings and matching heels, whereas the Chicago rapper had a similarly all-black look with a shirt, pants, and shoes, complemented by a large beige overcoat and sunglasses.

They probably had a great time at the Lucas Museum, which recently opened to the public earlier this month. Amid Ye’s own set of controversies, any public sighting of the two is sure to spark debate and drive fans a little wild. But it’s clear they won’t let all the speculative attention and critical perspectives get to their heads.

Bianca Censori & Kanye West Collaborations

Elsewhere, Bianca Censori and Kanye West’s artistic collaborations have yielded much more productive and interesting conversations. Her direction of the Ye and Don Toliver music video “OK” shocked a lot of fans due to its gory and clinical (in more ways than one) approach. But it was a striking effort nonetheless, and goes to show fans downplaying Censori’s agency are missing out on her own artistry.

She also directed the “GEMINI SEASON” music video for Kanye and the “FATHER” music video by Ye and Travis Scott. With these visuals and other collaborations in mind, we’re sure we will get many more as time goes on.

In any case, Censori always stuns when she’s out, even if folks hyper-focus too much on the style choices themselves. Of course, everything in the world of Ye causes controversy these days. But at this point, fans have known for a long time that outfit combinations like these are their M.O.
