On Monday, Meek garnered some attention for something that some fans won’t be super enthusiastic about, given the sensitive nature of the topic at hand. Of course, we are talking about the Epstein Files.

As part of the Epstein investigation, Bill and Hillary Clinton are being deposed. These depositions are being filmed and have been turned into a classic case of political theater. With that in mind, the recent deposition involving Bill Clinton has been going viral for a few reasons.

One of those reasons involves his long-time attorney, Cheryl Mills. Mills has decades of experience under her belt and was quite vocal during the deposition. For those who were unfamiliar, her command of the law was impressive, and it certainly piqued the curiosity of Meek Mill.

“I want her to be my lawyer. What is her name?” Meek asked. “Seriously.” There were some who found it odd that Meek Mill didn’t know who Cheryl Mills was to begin with. You can’t really blame him for that. People don’t carry around encyclopedias on former Presidential attorneys everywhere they go.

Others were a bit surprised that Meek would want to associate with an attorney who is defending Bill Clinton amid the Epstein situation. Whatever the case may be, this is yet another example of how Meek cannot seem to win when it comes to public perception.

Whatever the case may be, the Epstein situation remains one of the biggest stories in the world. Although the war in Iran has taken precedence, there are still folks who are zeroed in on Epstein. Overall, it is a rough story, albeit one that must be told.

The post prompted various other peers to share their own heartfelt tributes to the late icon. This includes Questlove, who took to Instagram to post album covers of some of the notable projects Power worked on.

“Whether you know it or not, one of these albums changed your life,” he captioned the post. “You could NOT encounter a more engaging, enthusiastic, laser focused craftsman of sound and Sonic’s (engineer/mixing/production) I mean he’d let me bug him ad nausea about ‘what does this button do? that button?’ Bob was our training wheels for how to present music. I’m so devastated by his passing. Thank you for changing all of our lives Bob.”

Erykah Badu also honored Power in an Instagram post shared last night. “What a great loss for the music community today,” she wrote. “The great engineer, producer, mentor and friend Bob Power has traveled on. We appreciate you. You taught me soo much. Baduizm is thee most bass heavy singing album in history. … I’m listening tonight in your honor.”

Bob Power was born in Chicago in 1952. He later moved to New York City and then to St. Louis to attend Webster College for music theory. Power proceeded to work in both New York and California, ultimately getting involved in the world of hip-hop.

Power eventually became an Arts Professor at the Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. He was nominated for two Grammy awards throughout his career. At the time of writing, Bob Power’s cause of death has not been made public.

This reputation certainly won’t be going away anytime soon. Especially when you consider the rant he went on during his most recent stream. It was here that Akademiks spoke at length about the recent trend of women turning to god.

About a year ago, Brittany Renner converted to Islam after years of her relationships being in the public eye. Meanwhile, India Love recently came out and said that she would be turning to God. She noted that she felt taken advantage of in her youth. This is why she wanted to decenter men and find purpose elsewhere.

While these are certainly noble pursuits, Akademims believes there is cynicism behind them. He provided that cynical perspective on stream, and there is no denying that some will take offense to what he is saying.

DJ Akademiks Rants On Stream

As you can see in the clip above, Akademiks accuses India Love and Brittany Renner of being “whores” who are only using God as a way to rebrand themselves. He also goes on to say that if he were to check Cassie’s Instagram account, he would probably see something similar.

It is an assumption that is most certainly rooted in some kind of misogyny. It’s hard not to feel Ak’s hatred of women seething through the screen during this clip. Having said that, this has proven to play well with his audience. Over the years, his audience has encouraged these kinds of hot takes, and as a result, Akademiks takes it all in stride.

Whether or not India Love and Renner will respond to Akademiks is something that remains to be seen. The hip-hop commentator is rarely checked for having these kinds of takes, so it will be interesting to see how this plays out.

“You gotta understand, I got so many flows,” they added. “My fans don’t really appreciate when I make a big mainstream song. They say, ‘Well, we want a trapped-out Uzi.’ Then I make a trap song and they say, ‘Uzi, you know better than this, you make quality music, we can’t even hear it.’ So instead of meeting those people in the middle, I make two different genres of music… I have my real drops that I usually drop on holidays or I have a countdown.”

Uzi was later asked about visuals for the upcoming album, prompting them to reveal the vision they have this time around. “I gotta change the scene,” they explained. “I can think of it right now, that’s how good I am. Steampunk. Steampunk. Because everything’s too goth, so we’re gonna make it more steampunk.”

While Uzi certainly seems to have a lot of big ideas for their next project, they’re not afraid to work at their own pace.

“I don’t feel pressure, bro,” they explained. “I’m gonna tell you right now: everybody that don’t pay attention to me, [they] got they life going on. Everybody that pay attention to me [too much], it’s somehow coded that I’m better than you. They be trying to make it like we supposed to drop one album a year.”

At the time of writing, an official release date for Uzi’s next project has yet to be revealed.

This latest preview arrives just a few days after the Atlanta rapper unleashed on Fif in a fourth diss track. He’s not the only member of his family to take shots at the mogul recently, either.

His 21-year-old son King Harris also released a diss track targeting 50 Cent last week. His other son, 24-year-old Domani, jumped into the feud shortly after with a diss track called “Ms. Jackson.” In it, he references the G-Unit boss’s abuse allegations, antics, and more.

Why Are T.I. & 50 Cent Beefing?

“I want to have a one on one convo about the man you sacrificed your life for so the world could see his talent,” he raps. “He’s a legend now, I guess it worked out, but I need some answers / Are you happy with the way he been holding your family name? / I need to know ’cause I can’t sleep at night thinking you died in vain / I think it got to them, people won’t tell him because he pay them / The emperor’s new clothes, a tale we need to tell.”

T.I. reignited his beef with 50 Cent last month, when he accused him of backing out of a Verzuz battle they had both agreed to. He said that as a result, he’d lost all respect for him. This led to some back-and-forth on social media, which included some low blows directed at each other’s family members and careers, among other things.

Tasha K even recently reported that 50 Cent could have a documentary on T.I. and his wife Tiny in the works, but that remains to be seen.

It was another example of why Jake Paul is considered to be the better boxer of the family. It was also yet another example of how Floyd Mayweather is content taking on exhibition matches that only hinder his legacy.

In 2026, Mayweather is set to reboot his exhibition match ambitions. For instance, it is believed that Floyd could fight Mike Tyson as soon as next month. In June, he is set to take on Mike Zambidis. Subsequently, he will have a rematch against Manny Pacquiao in September. A rematch that is a decade too late, at this point.

Having said that, there has been a discourse surrounding Mayweather’s financial situation, and whether or not he is taking on these fights to make back the cash he’s lost. According to Logan Paul, that is very much the case.

Logan Paul Calls Out Floyd Mayweather

A post shared by No Jumper (@nojumper)

In a recent video, Logan Paul spoke about his fight with Mayweather and how, for years following the event, he struggled to get paid in full. While he has received some cash here and there, he still hasn’t received the full amount. In fact, Paul is still waiting on $1.5 million.

Some might say this is pocket change for Paul. However, that is not the point. He is allegedly owed this money, and therefore, he wants what he’s owed. As for Mayweather, the fact that he won’t pay the $1.5 million suggests his financial situation is in dire straits.

Ultimately, it is sad to see a legend like Mayweather reduce himself to these exhibition fights that, quite frankly, aren’t very entertaining. His legacy is being tarnished, and these three fights throughout 2026 will likely have a continuous negative effect on his perception.

“It’s called the principle. You can’t be out here playing with a b*tch like me. There’s n***a out here praying for a b*tch like me. You hear me?” she began. “You ain’t never had a bad b*tch like this, n***a. Never in your motherf*cking life! None of them b*tches ain’t f*cking with me!”

Unsurprisingly, fans were quick to speculate about who exactly Cardi B’s rant was directed at. Many suspected it was her ex-boyfriend, Stefon Diggs, with whom she shares one child. According to her, however, this isn’t the case.

Why Did Cardi B & Stefon Diggs Break Up?

Yesterday (March 2), the femcee hopped on Twitter/X to set the record straight once and for all, claiming that her onstage rant was nothing out of the ordinary. “Dear blogs, when I perform a song I always introduce the song with a lil razzle dazzle,” she explained. “Not everything is a shot or personal. I’m actually repeating lyrics from the songs…Relax.”

Cardi’s tweet arrived just a few days after Us Weekly reported that she and Stefon Diggs went their separate ways shortly before the Super Bowl. A source told the outlet that the couple had been having issues for a while leading up to the split, and that they’d separated in the past. “They are always so up and down,” the source said. “This isn’t the first time they have broken up.”

“Cardi is single and putting herself out there again. She feels free,” they added. “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.”

At the time of writing, neither Cardi B nor Diggs has directly addressed the breakup reports.

There have been leaks on social media about when this album might arrive. Supposed “insiders” have claimed that ICEMAN would drop on March 6th. Of course, that would be this upcoming Friday. It’s a date that feels impossible, especially when you consider how Drake has not made any such announcements.

At this point, fans should not be getting their hopes up. However, that doesn’t mean those same fans won’t hang on to every single thing Drizzy says on his social media. As we all know, he loves to deliver some cryptic messages on Instagram.

Last night, that is exactly what he did. He posted a collage of images with varying purposes. When you put all of these photos together, it is clear that Drake has some sort of warning for the music industry.

Drake With A Message

For instance, he posted a shirt that says “They doubted me.” He also posted a photo that says “Talk is Cheap” and another that says “Warning ICEMAN.” He subsequently followed this up with the caption: “What I Was Doing When You Thought I Was Crying.” This feels like a clear reference to the beef with Kendrick Lamar and the perception of Drake in its aftermath.

Whether or not Drake is actually going to drop his album soon is something that still remains to be seen. ICEMAN is a good title for a winter album. Unfortunately for Drake, there are fewer than three weeks left of Winter. That means his album either needs to be rushed out, or he will need to deal with it being poorly named.

Whatever the case may be, there is no doubt that the hype behind ICEMAN is truly palpable right now. Fans are hopeful that Drake can deliver.

Sean Combs opted to spend his time at Fort Dix. In the end, the artist got his way, although he received some disappointing news upon arriving. At first, his release date was going to be May 8th of 2028. However, it was ultimately pushed back to June 4th of 2028.

Since that time, Diddy has been given various opportunities to demonstrate good behavior. For instance, he entered a rehab program. Furthermore, he has engaged in various activities that could help out his fellow inmates. Quite simply, he is doing all of the things that would typically get you a reduced sentence.

When is Diddy Being Released From Prison?

According to Rolling Stone, Diddy is getting exactly what he’s been wishing for. His release date has been moved up by a total of five weeks. Now, he is expected to be coming home on April 25th, 2028. It is believed that the entry into the rehab program was a huge catalyst for this news.

While some may feel as though five weeks isn’t a lot, it actually is. Especially when you consider how grueling an experience like prison can be. It should also be noted that April 25, 2028, is sooner than you think. Essentially, it is being said that Diddy will be home in about two years.

Two years can go by fairly quickly. For example, the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef is approaching its two-year anniversary. It feels as though that happened just yesterday.

For Diddy, this is fantastic news. For his alleged victims, this is a stark reminder of the fact that his sentence, in their eyes, simply was not adequate. Whether or not the release date gets moved again, still remains to be seen.
