“DDG, you is a b***h,” he expressed in a livestream clip caught by Livebitez. “On my mama, you a b***h. You gon’ call Kai Cenat and tell them you scared for your life, don’t let Soulja Boy in the building… Whoever need to send this clip to them, whatever y’all need to do, send it to them. From this day forward, f**k y’all n***as. Straight up, f**k y’all n***as. DDG, Kai Cenat, Deshae [Frost], all y’all little streamer n***as, bruh, stay on that side. And that’s on my little brother’s grave. Stay on that side. Y’all n***as lame as hell, bruh. On God.”

We will see if either Kai or the Michigan rapper and streamer has anything to say about these claims.

DDG’s Beef With Soulja Boy

A post shared by Watch Live Bitez (@livebitez)

For those unaware, Soulja Boy’s beef with DDG started back in 2024 when the former clowned the latter for gifting his baby boy a Ferrari. But that wasn’t what really sparked a back-and-forth.

Rather, it was the two artists trading insults, condemnations, and trolls about their domestic violence allegations and other claims of abuse, mistreatment, and more. Other allegations emerged about Soulja allegedly sleeping with India Love back in the day, which he believes may have prompted some jealousy.

From there, DDG has kept trolling Soulja Boy, and this is the “Crank Dat” artist’s latest clap-back in this back and forth. We will see if anything else develops from here, although we doubt things will re-escalate to the tensions of the first half of 2025.

As for Kai Cenat’s Streamer University, this is a big way for him to return to the streaming world. That endeavor was one of his most successful and notable as its first installment, so a double-down should be very fun. In any case, it seems like Soulja Boy won’t be a part of it.

According to court documents reportedly obtained by Complex, his legal team filed a motion on Thursday (June 18) to modify the terms of release. This is for the purposes of allowing Shiesty’s father to travel.

More specifically, he reportedly requested the court’s permission to “travel to and from his attorneys’ offices in the Northern and Eastern Districts of Texas.” Due to Williams Sr.’s inability to take any case information home, he wants his attorneys to be able to look at the case with him elsewhere.

On the other hand, he also requested the court’s permission to travel to Tennessee’s Western District due to his ownership, management, and renovation of over eight Memphis properties. Per documents, Lontrell Williams Sr. wants to assist contractors, oversee maintenance and construction, and continue providing for his family and paying legal fees through this work.

The filing also claims someone broke into one of the properties, adding to the pressure to help. He wants either an 8AM to 5PM curfew or a change from home incarceration to home detention with presumably looser restrictions. We will see how the court rules on this matter.

Is Pooh Shiesty In Jail?

Meanwhile, Lontrell Williams Sr.’s son Pooh Shiesty is still in prison over the Gucci Mane robbery and kidnapping allegations. He continues to fight for bond amid a February 2027 trial start date, but no significant updates on this most recent bail push have emerged at press time.

Another important person in this case is fellow Memphis MC Big30, who recently left jail on bond. Videos on social media emerged of him reportedly reuniting with his family after the release.

There’s still a lot of time left for this trial to start, and many more updates to come. We will see how all nine codefendants’ situations and prospects change as court proceedings continue developing.

Quotable Lyrics from Little Birdie (Freestyle)

They never seen a thousand songs just on the hard drive,
I grab a mic and get them back, this ain’t no archive,
Don’t do no talking, call up and go get my star five,
These n***as faking, ain’t no gangsters, they just part-time

“lonno who needs to hear this but diplo has equity in suno and is actively attempting to train it on the best and brightest black minds of writers and producers,” the singer allegedly wrote, according to OnThinIce on Twitter. “We make up 13% of the American population yet influence the world w our sound and perspective. I AINT HEARD A WHITE AI SONG YET…We have no protection in legislature
medical or creative. The easiest to steal from.”

However, she did explicitly call out the practice of AI music via an IG Story on her main page. “Jus checked and music Ai has Trained off 238 of my songs,” the “TELEKINESIS” artist wrote. “Im certain some unreleased. If your a musician and you support this degenerate s**t? Your disgusting and there’s NOTHING YOU COULD EVER SAY TO ME TO MAKE THIS OKAY. I hope u have the life u deserve.”

SZA’s Stance Against AI

SZA has previously called out AI technology, specifically its environmental impact due to its abundant use of resources via massive data centers. “AI is killing and polluting Black and Brown cities,” she expressed on social media. “None of you care ‘cause [you’re] codependent on a machine. Have a great life.”

Other artists have made similar condemnations, including a recent post from Tyler, The Creator about AI data centers in Georgia. “the growth of water contamination is insane,” he wrote on IG. “shocked how this is even a convo but of course every official looks out for their own pocket linings. we as a whole might be too p***y and selfish to burn s**t down and will just keep scrolling and scrolling and scrolling. me included.”

Diplo hasn’t publicly addressed this alleged call-out from SZA at press time. We will see if a wider conversation comes of this debacle.

“Damn can’t pay 2,500 a month brokie, stay in jail. The best excuse for being broke is being in jail. LOL Popped !” Fif captioned his post. In the video he shared, the comedian and actor affirmed in court that he was not able at the present moment to pay the $2,500 a month in child support previously stipulated by the court.

Amid Faizon Love’s other recent antics, he has a lot to deal with concerning this child support case. It relates to his ex Tiffany Lee and her accusations about him allegedly owing her about $250K in child support and not paying it for many years. Lee claimed Love told her she “wasn’t going to get a dime.”

On the other hand, his legal team claimed he’s currently homeless and in a dire financial situation. We will see how the court chooses to handle this matter and whether or not a resolution will open more opportunities for Faizon and the payout Lee is asking for.

Faizon Love’s 50 Cent Beef

A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk)

For those unaware, 50 Cent’s feud with Faizon Love emerged earlier this year when Love criticized 50’s G-Unit film and television endeavors. “ah ya man really think he tough he better focus on his case. He throwing s**t at hotel people LOL,” the rapper responded via social media, posting many allegations against Love. “Man this fool ain’t had a good role in 31 years. You know he f***ed up. he in the interview wearing a TeePee. LOL.”

Faizon Love asked 50 Cent for a fight to settle things, but this didn’t pan out. Now, 50 has the upper hand when it comes to social media trolls. We’ll see if this child support case finds a resolution or goes deeper into punitive territory.

Of course, questions of body image standards should not be a critical factor here. Rather, it’s more important to discuss health and wellness instead of commenting on which bodies are beautiful, as all of them are. Nevertheless, it seems like the commentator and streamer is very happy with where he’s at in his fitness journey.

“Fitademiks going crazy lbs,” he captioned his IG Story post, as caught by No Jumper on Instagram. It also featured Akademiks doing a fit check with bright-colored shoes, shorts, and a button-up shirt. “Ngl I bought them colorful dolce n gabana shoes like a year and a half ago been waiting to wear em.”

In the comments section of the IG post below, folks will find all sorts of reactions. For every “Dj Ozempademiks” comment, there is a “I’m happy for any Black man living a healthier lifestyle. Keep going Ak!”

Some of the viral discussions around this video also made comical references to DJ Akademiks’ recent flirtations with Daphne Joy. Following their salacious interview together, Cam Newton set them up on a date while hosting Joy on his Funky Friday podcast. “Daphne joy got him acting up,” one Instagram commenter wrote, with another adding “That boy getting ready for Daphne.”

During DJ Akademiks’ interview with Daphne Joy, he asked her if she has a “size requirement” and how she gets over breakups. They shared a lot of chemistry, with her later telling Cam Newton that he gave her happiness amid a very dark time for her.

Elsewhere, DJ Akademiks is still coming through with hot takes. So we’re sure his haters will find more reasons to clown on him. Regarding Ak’s physique, though, he’s happy to show off the changes and shut those specific critics down.

The video is from fellow basketball star Richard Jefferson, who is currently on a ten-year anniversary vacation with the Akron native and the rest of their 2016 Cleveland Cavaliers championship team. “When your 45 and the boys are drinking like they 25,” the caption of the post reads. Over the ICEMAN song, there’s footage of RJ wiping his head with a cloth juxtaposed with a viral video of a DJ doing the same thing while “Shabang” played.

LeBron only put a slew of crying-laughing emojis in his post, so there’s nothing explicitly referencing the feud with the 6ix God. One might even call it one-sided on the OVO mogul’s behalf. Nevertheless, it’s clear that Bron isn’t sweating this too much, and that he won’t let appearances get in the way of shouting out a hot song or fooling around on social media.

Drake & LeBron James’ Beef

For those unaware, the tensions between LeBron James and Drake have everything to do with the Kendrick Lamar battle. Bron showed both of them love during the initial spat. But by the time “Not Like Us” came out and videos emerged of him dancing to it, a victor was clear.

As such, the Toronto superstar expressed feelings of betrayal over his former close friend, dissing him on multiple occasions in subsequent musical releases. There’s a lot of other drama that shot off from this narrative, but none that either party have spoken on directly.

Most recently, Rich Paul expressed hope for Drake and LeBron James to reconcile. But it seems like things will stay icy until further notice. Maybe this shifts eventually with a public comment from LeBron or a more detailed explanation from The Boy. Until then, fans will continue to debate.

Quotable Lyrics from OK

I noticed the jealousy peaking, I thought we was past this,
This type of exposure’s indecent, these n***as is classless,
I bet on myself when the labels thought I was a bag risk,
The money that I had invested is doing gymnastics

The post OK – Song by Kanye West feat. Don Toliver appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Don’s appearance is on “OK,” whereas the other new song is a Kanye solo cut called “MISSION CONTROL.” While many fans hoped these would appear on the original tracklist, at least they got them eventually.

Meanwhile, the Fugees legend appears for the chorus of “I CAN’T WAIT,” and this follows her appearance at Ye’s SoFi Stadium show earlier this year. All the other BULLY features are here: Travis Scott, CeeLo Green, André Troutman, Peso Pluma, and Nine Vicious.

Some fans also speculated that this deluxe release features re-recorded versions of vocals that previously used artificial intelligence. But as far as specific mixing and mastering details for this deluxe update, we’ll see if we get a more verifiable breakdown.

Lauryn Hill & Kanye West

A post shared by Kurrco • Hip-Hop/Music Updates (@kurrco.xyz)

Footage of Ms. Lauryn Hill working with Ye in the studio surfaced soon after her SoFi appearance. So the arrival of the “I CAN’T WAIT” remix should come as no surprise. Still, it did get her significant backlash from some corners due to Kanye West’s previous controversies. But it’s clear the legend wanted to send a different message of redemption and unity.

This also follows Kanye West’s newest song release, “GEMINI SEASON.” It celebrated Ye’s 49th birthday earlier this month and resulted in a music video his wife Bianca Censori directed.

Speaking of music videos, Ye also dropped a Censori-directed visual for the BULLY track “KING” on Spotify, as caught by XXL on Instagram. We will see if there are any other videos coming up, as Don Toliver seemed to tease an “OK” visual on social media.

Amid Kanye West’s upcoming concerts and his reckoning with his bigotries, we’ll see what else comes of this BULLY era. Fans continue to debate the deluxe’s worth, the album’s quality, and Ye’s future moves.

As caught by Livebitez on Instagram, the streamer was singing along and didn’t realize how this could lead to an issue. However, the Houston rapper approached The Great and vibed out to the song too, dancing along to the slow beat and saying “Chat, we on that Drizzy.”

Later, when Walka was off-camera (it’s unclear where he was), Deen The Great seemed to look at his livestream’s chat, where folks were pointing out the feud. “Oh, I’m tripping. My bad, bruh,” he expressed. “I’m tweaking. Aye, change it. I forgot, bruh, my bad. Chat spammed me… Shoutout bruh, though. But, you know, just… You got to read the room, gang. I ain’t know.”

So it seems like Sauce doesn’t really care about those tensions with Drizzy too much. It’s a promising sign that the drama cycle between them has come to a close, as this could’ve been a double-down moment.

Drake & Sauce Walka’s Beef

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Watch Live Bitez (@livebitez)

For those unaware, Drake and Sauce Walka’s beef is about a decade old, but there are important chapters to talk about. Initial tensions back in the 2010s stemmed from Houston appropriation claims, but they buried the hatchet in the 2020s. However, it didn’t take long for things to go south again.

The feud truly took a significant turn earlier this month, as a call leaked of Walka threatening to have Drake’s car shot up. He claimed The Boy dissed him on “Janice STFU” and that he’s been pimping women out to him for a long time.

More specifically, these tensions also concern the mother of Sauce Walka’s child, Kiley Lossen. That’s because of an alleged fling she had with Drizzy, as she later took to social media and other platforms to gush about the Toronto superstar and praise their friendship.

In any case, it seems like Sauce isn’t breaking a sweat over any of this anymore. But we’ll see if that changes…
