The hip-hop community is in mourning once again, as recently, Blondy of The Sequence passed away at the age of 67. At the time of writing, her cause of death has not been made public. Her groupmate Cheryl “The Pearl” Cook shared the news in a Facebook post last night.

“TODAY I’M HURTING BECAUSE MY SISTER BLONDY HAS PASSED. I’M GOING TO MISS YOU AND ANGIE. AM SO IN SHOCK. JUST TALK TO YOU. LOVE BOTH OF YOU. UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN. R.I.P,” she wrote. “I’M GOING TO MISS YOU QUEEN BLONDY FROM THE GROUP THE SEQUENCE R.I.P.”

Fans and peers are out in full force, leaving heartfelt messages about Blondy’s life and legacy. The official Facebook page for The Furious 5, for example, took to the comments section to give their condolences.

“Ooohhh my goodness! So, sorry to hear! Our deepest condolences to you truly & to the family of Blondy,” their message reads. “Forever Iconic Pioneer of The Sequence [heart emoji] May Blondy Rest in Love & Peace.”

Angie Stone’s Death

“My condolences to the family and friends..I love you sis and you will truly be missed…FROM THUG LIFE MINISTRIES MENTORING YOUTH PROGRAMS CEO FOUNDER AND PRESIDENT B.T.J EST.1998…MY FAMILY,” another commenter writes. Someone else says, “Two such great losses in such a short time. It’s hard to imagine your pain. Only God can comfort your heart and the hearts of all your family and friends at this time. My condolences.”

News of Blondy’s passing comes just over a year after the death of another member of The Sequence, Angie Stone. Stone passed away at the age of 63 last March following a car wreck in Alabama. After a performance in Mobile, Stone and others were headed to Atlanta in a Sprinter van when the driver allegedly lost control of the vehicle, and it flipped.

Allegedly, Stone survived the initial crash but was struck and killed by a tractor-trailer while trying to escape the wreckage. Her family later filed a lawsuit against Daimler Truck North America, the company that owned the tractor-trailer, along with its driver.

Kanye West has said plenty of ridiculous things throughout his career. Back in 2023, for example, he hopped on Instagram to claim that Jonah Hill’s performance in 21 Jump Street made him “like Jewish people again.” During a recent appearance on The Zane Lowe Show, Hill shared his thoughts on the remarks, admitting that he still has love for the Chicago artist despite his past scandals.

“I felt that he did this bizarre public thing to kind of make up, like, ‘It’s all good cause I love Jonah,’” he explained. “[It] just sat with me in a way that it’s, like, all good. I love him still, and I hope whatever happens, he can heal or whatever, and everyone can heal from all that stuff.”

“I think there is no artist I probably love more across any genre ever,” he also added. “He’s a genius, and the stuff with the hate stuff sucks. What are you going to say? It sucks, no matter who you are, to hear that. Now, do I know what’s going on? No. Am I going to punch someone while they’re down? No, of course not.”

Kanye West Wireless Festival Controversy

News of Hill’s comments comes shortly after it was announced that this year’s rendition of London’s Wireless Festival has been canceled because Ye’s application to travel to the UK was denied. He was previously scheduled to headline all three days of the fest.

Amid news of the cancellation, Ye released a public statement, offering to meet with representatives of the Jewish community in London.

“To Those I’ve Hurt: I’ve been following the conversation around Wireless and want to address it directly. My only goal is to come to London and present a show of change, bringing unity, peace, and love through my music,” he wrote. “I know words aren’t enough – I’ll have to show change through my actions. If you’re open, I’m here. With Love, Ye, formerly known as Kanye West.”

In arresting him on a charge of misdemeanor disorderly conduct, police held Tjay on a $500 bond. Speaking with reporters after getting out of jail on Tuesday, he described Offset as a “rat.” “The last thing I seen was Offset looking at me like this: ‘Yo, that n***a shot me. That n***a shot me.’ N***a is a rat,” Tjay says in one video. “I didn’t do no damn fighting. ‘Did I shoot Offset?’ That sh*t is crazy. I would smack the sh*t out of Offset. He would never play with me like that in his life. Ask Offset.”

Tjay’s lawyer, Dawn Florio, has already denied that her client was behind the shooting. “We are issuing this release in regards to false rumors that Lil Tjay was involved in a shooting which occurred at the Valet Area of the Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood which resulting in non-life threatening injuries to Offset, formerly a member of Migos,” she explained today in a statement. “Lil Tjay has not been shot, nor has Lil Tjay been charged with any shooting.

As for Offset, a spokesperson for the rapper has confirmed that he is “fine” and “is currently at the hospital receiving medical care.”

Dez Bryant says he once won an $8,000 bet with Offset and the Migos rapper never paid him. He shared the story on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday in the wake of Offset getting shot at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Florida.

“I don’t ever talk about what I do or my relationships with anyone but I’m going to give yall a quick story between me and offset,” the former NFL star began. “I beat offset out of 8k he tried to take a nap on me and I go to tap on him to wake him up..telling him I need that 8k.. his patnas saw me tapping on him..I can tell his patnas wanted to jump on some bullsh*t.. I chilled because I was by myself completely out numbered.. so I charged it to the game…I swear to god Offset reached out to me yesterday 3 hours before he got shot on a money play… I thought about it and said. I’m good.. then I saw the news later on and was like damn…some people don’t play about they money.”

Following the shooting, a spokesperson for Offset confirmed that he is “fine” and “is currently at the hospital receiving medical care.” Authorities arrested Lil Tjay in connection with a fight before the incident, but have since released him on bond.

Ebro Says Offset Owes Him Money

Dez Bryant isn’t the only celebrity to claim Offset still owes them money in the wake of the shooting. Ebro also alleged that the rapper owes him $5,000 during an episode of The Ebro Laura Rosenberg Show.

“He owes me $5,000. He does,” Ebro remarks in one clip from the show. “Offset’s fine. I tried to call him last night. We bet on the Super Bowl in New Orleans. I bet $5,000. I was prepared to pay him $5,000. I’ve talked to him a thousand times since then and never jammed him up about $5,000 because clearly, he’s somebody who didn’t pay his bet. Like, why am I gonna chase you around about five grand? It’s not a big deal to me.”

From there, he explained that if he doesn’t care about $5,000, he doesn’t believe Lil Tjay would mind Offset owing him money. “I don’t think Tjay’s got more money than I’ve got. I don’t think it would be over $10,000. Me and Offset are in a good enough situation where I don’t need to stress. It wasn’t a loan. We made a bet,” he said.

Pooh Shiesty has tapped Bradford Cohen to join his legal team, according to court documents reviewed by Complex. In doing so, he secured a high-profile lawyer with experience representing Lil Wayne, Kodak Black, and more artists over the years.

Despite the update, it’s more of a formality, considering Cohen already spoke on behalf of Shiesty in a statement provided to TMZ on Friday. “I read over the indictment and can see some inconsistencies that we will address at future hearings,” he said at the time, “I will save any further comments for after we get full discovery. I know my client is looking forward to holding the Government to their burden.”

Authorities arrested Pooh Shiesty for allegedly kidnapping and robbing Gucci Mane at gunpoint, last week. They claim he forced Gucci to release him from a contract with 1017 Records while organizing a “coordinated takeover” of a Dallas music studio on January 10, 2026. He is charged alongside his father, Big30, and six other co-conspirators.

“As alleged, nine defendants travelled to Dallas, Texas, to kidnap and rob victims who thought they were coming into town for a business meeting… For anyone contemplating using violence and intimidation as a business practice, I’m here to tell you that it will be vigorously investigated and prosecuted,” U.S. Attorney Ryan Raybould said.

On Monday, Cohen told XXL that he and his team were still reviewing the alleged evidence in the case. “We are still evaluating the alleged evidence against Mr. Williams, Jr. at this time,” he said. “After the bond hearing on Mr. Williams Sr. and the testimony we reviewed, it appears that there is a significant gap in the statements made by the government and the actual evidence. As such, we have been reviewing those issues in anticipation of Mr. Williams, Jr. bond hearing.”

Bhad Bhabie has been through a lot in the past few years. In 2024, she welcomed her first child with Le Vaughn, with whom she’s had an incredibly chaotic on-and-off relationship ever since. Just a few months after her daughter’s birth, she also announced that she had been diagnosed with a form of blood cancer.

While her supporters are rooting for her amid her health battle, some social media users have started to question whether or not she’s been completely honest about her diagnosis. According to her, she has no reason to lie about having cancer and has plenty of receipts to prove it.

The 23-year-old took to her Instagram Story this week to set the record straight once and for all. She did so by sharing a photo of her prescription for Scemblix (asciminib). It’s a medication given to patients with chronic myeloid leukemia-CML, and costs her a staggering $5,203.91 each month.

“If I’m lying about having cancer for money explain to me why I’m being prescribed this medication and paying 5K a month for it?” she captioned the post, per Complex. Bhad Bhabie didn’t stop there, however. She went on to share a photo of a document about Scemblix and how it’s used in cancer treatment.

“Oh wow it’s used for cancer I been saying I had yall said I was lying about,” she wrote. “And please believe no dr is prescribing this medication to someone for no reason. It literally gets delivered in a biohazard bag. Do u know what this medication would do to someone that doesn’t actually have cancer??”

In another post, she posed a question to her critics. “How exactly do u monetize off having too many white blood cells?” she asked. “Asking for a friend.”
