The Atlanta radio show host has also been accused of engaging in a sexual relationship with his co-host, Francesca Amiker. However, the co-host has since sued Brown for defamation.

Amidst all of this, Big Tigger has taken a hiatus from his radio show. On social media, he revealed that he will be stepping away from “The Big Tigger Morning Show” on an indefinite basis.

“For as long as I’ve been in this industry, my focus has always been to keep the spotlight on the culture and the incredible people I get to interview. But right now, my personal life is in the public eye and has become the subject of overwhelming speculation and misinformation. Through all of this, what hurts the most is being away from my son. Nothing is more important to me than being a great father. So I’ve decided to step away from the mic for a while to focus on my family and give my legal team the room they need. As I previously said, I unequivocally deny every allegation, and I am looking forward to clearing my name. Thank you so much all for the love and support.”

This is a developing story that we will continue to keep you updated on.

According to TMZ, Emani, 17, and Kross, 9, have been paid out their share from the estate in both cash and other assets. The estate is reportedly worth $11 million and run by Blacc Sam, Nipsey’s brother. It remains unclear how much each kid received, since the amount was sealed. However, TMZ reports that both children received 50%.

The court documents say that other assets included in Nipsey’s estate include a 2012 Chevy Suburban, along with interest in other business ventures. This also includes the Marathon Clothing brand. 

Over the past few years, we saw Nipsey Hussle’s estate and his brother, Blacc Sam, duke it out in court with Tanisha Foster, the mother of Emani, over her inheritance. She was fighting for custody and the control of her inheritance. Ultimately, the court determined that she will share legal and physical custody with Nipsey’s family.

In fact, on Monday, Nicki Minaj was at the White House for a Rose Garden Club Lunch. It was here that President Trump delivered praise to the artist, and even called her “hot.”

During her time at the White House, she rubbed shoulders with some major politicians. Politicians who have made some harmful choices since taking office. In fact, Minaj took a photo with Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry, who has a pretty awful reputation.

Nicki Minaj Continues Backing Trump

Since being elected, Landry has been able to eliminate a majority-black House district from the Congressional map. Furthermore, he has banned critical race theory from the state’s curriculum. On top of all of this, he has threatened to withhold critical funds from New Orleans until abortion seekers are prosecuted.

During her visit to the White House, Nicki also received some criticism for promoting “Trump Accounts.” These are savings accounts meant for people under the age of 18. They receive tax benefits, and if a child was born during Trump’s term, they will receive $1000 in their account from the United States Treasury. While the initiative may be a positive one, some are still concerned that Nicki has become a mouthpiece for the administration.

The criticism doesn’t seem to be affecting Minaj, as she continues to be seen in these Conservative spaces. That said, her fans are clearly upset, and it is easy to understand why that would be the case.

Overall, these streams were a massive success. Thousands of enthusiastic young streamers turned up for the auditions, and it seems like this year’s edition of Stream University will be even bigger than the last.

On Monday night, Cenat made his official return to desktop streaming. He was finally back in his room, in front of his computer. It was here that he was able to address his fans and discuss his upcoming project. It was also an opportunity to discuss some of the drama that took place while he was away.

For instance, when Kai stopped streaming, he was in the midst of a breakup with Gigi Alayah. At the time, rumors started floating around that Alayah cheated with NBA YoungBoy. Cenat never addressed these allegations, and fans kept floating theories. Well, on Monday, Cenat put an end to the speculation, revealing that Alayah never stepped outside of their relationship.

That said, the alleged stalking supposedly began after Charlamagne revealed Akademiks TV’s real-life identity. Akademiks TV subsequently began attacking Charlamagne’s character. Ak refused to intervene, claiming that the alleged stalking was a hard boundary and that Akademiks TV can handle it however he pleases.

Since the initiation of this feud, Akademiks has continuously tried to expose Charlamagne Tha God’s associations with Jay-Z and Roc Nation. This has led to a hip-hop media beef that has been difficult to make sense of. After all, Charlamagne was Ak’s mentor when he first got popular in the mid 2010s.

DJ Akademiks & Charlamagne Tha God To Clear The Air

During his live stream last night, Akademiks revealed that he doesn’t have real beef with Charlamagne. Instead, the two are on opposite ends of the ideological spectrum, and the whole thing has hurt his heart a bit.

To rectify this, the two are set to have a sit-down conversation. Akademiks would like it to be filmed, and he proposed that he and Charlamagne release their conversation independently. Furthermore, he wants the talk to happen at a neutral site. He is not interested in a piece of content for Flagrant or Brilliant Idiots.

Charlamagne Tha God has agreed to the conversation, and it is going to take place sometime this week. Whether or not it will be a productive conversation, still remains to be seen.

During his time working with Stake, he has gotten on Kick to deliver some dedicated gambling streams. These streams subsequently led to the “Anita Max Win” meme, which took the internet by storm for a few weeks a couple of years ago. On Stake, a “Max Win” is when you hit the big jackpot. Of course, doing so is rare, and Drake has been chasing that high for years.

On Monday, he finally broke through and got the Max Win. He celebrated the moment on social media, revealing that he won $30 million in the process. The celebrations included Drake jumping for joy as if he were a little kid getting a PS5 on Christmas.

Drake Gets His Max Win

It’s important to note that just because Drake won, it doesn’t mean you will too. These kinds of jackpots are extraordinarily rare. Not to mention, thanks to his Stake deal, it is suspected that much of the money he is gambling with isn’t even his own. Instead, it belongs to Stake, who then gives Drake back what he lost. This is the same story with influencers like xQc.

Ultimately, gambling is a very dangerous habit to develop. It can lead to job loss, bankruptcy, and the deterioration of various relationships. Never let online influencers influence you into getting involved in such a destructive hobby.

The latest person to jump into the conversation is Funk Flex. During his latest show on Hot97, Flex revealed that he received some feedback from Hov’s team after criticizing the MC’s take on Colin Kaepernick. At the time, Kaepernick had made a huge impact on culture by kneeling for the National Anthem. However, when Jay-Z got employed by the NFL, he famously said, “We’re past kneeling.”

Funk Flex didn’t like this, and he let those feelings be known. Despite praising the vast majority of Jay-Z’s moves, the radio host allegedly still got a call from Roc Nation. The Hot97 host remembers the moment vividly, and he used it as a vector to criticize Charlamagne Tha God.

Funk Flex Says His Peace

As Funk Flex explains, Charlamagne Tha God is extremely accomplished in the media world. However, as someone from South Carolina, he was looking for validation in New York and latched onto Jay-Z as a result. Flex went so far as to call Charlamagne a “d*ck rider,” who will defend Hov, regardless of the situation at hand.

“If you say something bad about [Jaÿ-Z] he gets upset & his TEAM gets UPSET… You and your team made personal calls to on air personalities to spin it,” Flex said. […] “After Akademiks EXPOSED you, we learned that this was a prior partnership… You rode Hov’s **** every chance you got cause you were looking for validation from a NY Cat.”

Funk Flex clearly has a bone to pick with Charlamagne. At the end of the day, Power 105.1 and Hot97 have been competitors for years. So it only makes sense that one would have some criticism for the other. Now we await to see if Charlamagne will respond.
