Remy Ma Uses Clip Of Claressa Shields As Song Promo Amid Feud

Gabriel Bras Nevares — Fri, 14 Aug 2026 20:30:04 +0000

Remy Ma just dropped her new song “Wanna Go,” which samples Crime Mob’s iconic track “Knuck If You Buck.” This could just be a simple sample, but thanks to some recent social media activity, many fans are taking this as a dig against Claressa Shields.

The “W.Y.F.L.” femcee, as caught by The Shade Room on Instagram, took to her IG Story recently to share a clip of the boxer. In it, Shields spoke on loving “Knuck If You Buck,” which comes from a wider conversation about Crime Mob’s Princess.

For those unaware, Princess had asked Claressa to walk out to her “Knuck If You Buck” verse for a fight, which led to the GWOAT blocking her. The Crime Mob femcee laughed the block off, and Shields addressed the situation during the interview Ma clipped.

“Listen, I don’t even know that lady,” she expressed. “I have nothing against her, I don’t know her. If she got blocked, it’s probably because she said something. But I don’t know her personally. It wasn’t because I don’t like the song. We all love ‘Knuck If You Buck.’ That’s an anthem… It’s nothing against her. Hopefully she still comes to the fight if she’s not too offended. A block is a block. We all live.”

Princess responded by telling folks to stream the iconic song and telling them to let Shields focus on her fight. She also showed love to Remy Ma’s new track online.

For those unaware, Remy Ma and Claressa Shields’ beef stems from the latter now dating the former’s ex, Papoose. They clashed a lot over cheating allegations and a lot of speculation about the relationship.

This has even led to diss rumors floating around concerning this new track “Wanna Go” and others. There are lyrical references to “hand-me-downs” and potential homophones that could be dissing the boxer and her partner.

It seems like this feud won’t end anytime soon. But both celebrities are focused on their craft; Remy in the booth and Claressa in the ring. Even if they continue to clash, they have bigger fish to fry in their careers.

Saucy Santana Catches Heat For Resurfaced Sexual Remarks About Kids

Gabriel Bras Nevares — Fri, 14 Aug 2026 20:00:50 +0000

Saucy Santana has a viral hit on his hands with “Quiet On The Creek,” but a lot of that attention is due to controversy. Many fans have accused him of making that song about kids, especially in the wake of a resurfaced video in which he made what seemed to be sexual comments about children.

“N***as want to f**k me, kids want to f**k me, aunties, everybody,” Saucy had said while on Instagram Live, as caught by The Shade Room. He denied ever being involved with kids or referencing that behavior, reportedly sharing an old video of him shutting down children trying to flirt with him.

Santana spoke about this controversy with Angela Yee on her Lip Service show. Yee asked for a clarification, which is when he pulled up the old video.

The honorary City Girl said she doesn’t care to respond to people spreading misinterpretations of him online and said this drama has never been his character. Saucy said any sexual dynamic between adults and children is not cool, bringing up the family he would be disappointing and harming if the Internet’s gossip was true.

Also, he spoke on online narratives waiting for a celebrity’s success before jumping down their throats. This is what Santana believes is happening right now amid the success of “Quiet On The Creek.” Still, he said God is on his side and folks can’t strip away the song’s impact from him. Saucy Santana denied the song has anything to do with children.

Elsewhere, Saucy Santana has more Internet drama to handle. However, fortunately, it seems like the noise isn’t as prominent beyond this controversy. Previously, he found himself in the middle of various rap feuds, whether it was his issues with JT, the Cardi B and Nicki Minaj beef, or other narratives.

Saucy has faced more frightening scares before, and it doesn’t seem like this backlash is slowing down “Quiet On The Creek.” So he knows well that these Internet narratives come and go. Still, it goes to show how easy it is for comments to face misinterpretation, and intent won’t always save someone from having to be accountable for them.

Eminem’s Ex-Wife Kim Mathers Sent To Prison Over Bond Violations

Gabriel Bras Nevares — Fri, 14 Aug 2026 19:32:38 +0000

Kim Mathers has had a very rough year, as she was reportedly hospitalized after attempting to take her own life earlier this summer. This followed two drunk driving incidents earlier this year that got the ex-wife of Eminem in legal trouble after another pending DUI case. It’s part of a reportedly wider issue.

According to a Click On Detroit report, a Michigan court ordered Mathers to stay in Macomb County jail for various bond violations. Judge William H. Hackel III reportedly revoked her $5,000 bond from June, but said she can leave prison if she finds inpatient treatment for her alcohol use.

Prosecutors reportedly claimed Kim Mathers has repeated tether violations. She turned herself into district court in June after missing three hearings over the two drunk driving incidents. In addition, Mathers reportedly faces an OWI charge in Chesterfield Township.

Her attorney reportedly argued she’s made plans to receive treatment, but the judge and prosecutors did not see such compliance and disallowed her from turning herself in voluntarily for treatment.

Click On Detroit‘s report included the tether company’s indications about bond violations. Prosecutors argued against the defense’s claims of seeking treatment by claiming she hadn’t sought treatment in two months.

Despite the turbulence and strain of their infamous relationship, Eminem and Kim Mathers are still coparents. Reports emerged back in 2023 that they would reunite at their daughters Hailie Jade’s wedding. Still, they haven’t spoken much about each other publicly since their split. They dated in the early 1990s, welcomed Hailie Jade in 1995, got married, divorced in 2001, remarried in 2006, and separated for good months later.

These updates on Kim are saddening for many fans, and many folks expressed their concerns and best wishes for her amid this time. We will see if she decides to enter an inpatient treatment program further down the line.

Elsewhere, the Detroit rapper might have some new bars to share with fans in 2026. 50 Cent said new music from Em and Tupac would appear on the soundtrack for the upcoming Street Fighter movie. Also, Marshall Mathers will reportedly appear on the new album from Rakim, Kurupt, and Masta Killa, which comes out soon. We’ll see if these promises pan out or if we have to wait a little longer.

Boosie Badazz Bails His Own Stalker Out Of Prison

Gabriel Bras Nevares — Fri, 14 Aug 2026 18:31:00 +0000

As a celebrity with nearly three decades of experience in the public eye, Boosie Badazz sadly knows a thing or two about dealing with stalkers. He’s been dealing with one particular stalker for years now, although he didn’t let that get in the way of offering a helping hand.

As caught by Loren LoRosa on The Breakfast Club, Boosie reportedly bailed out his stalker after she landed in jail. The radio show shared a segment of their discussion on Twitter, in which they listened to Badazz’s words on the matter.

“These last three, four years, I done had a real stalker,” he remarked. “Y’all probably saw her on YouTube in front of my gate being arrested. She pulled up with a BB gun and aimed a BB gun at me. My son was finna knock her a** off that time. Last month, she showed up naked at the gate with Timberlands on. But I always make the police let her go. A couple of nights ago… She in jail. I went and bonded her out this morning. My family mad at me and s**t. She still in jail. Don’t nobody want to sign her out. If anybody wants to be a Good Samaritan, who got a mental health program who can help her…”

LoRosa and DJ Envy reacted to the clip. Envy said he understands Boosie’s reasoning prioritizing mental health treatment over incarceration. But he said he wouldn’t have bailed the stalker out if it was him. Envy also spoke on facing a similar situation and calling the stalker’s family member, along with the police.

Did you know Boosie had a stalker? Well, his children are now upset with him because she was arrested for doing the most, and he bailed her out. Check out the latest w/ @LorenLorosa on @Netflix! pic.twitter.com/A3xSKb1cjk
— The Breakfast Club (@breakfastclubam) August 14, 2026

Loren brought up the Rihanna situation regarding a shooter at her home, commenting on how scary these mental health episodes can be on both sides. The radio hosts expressed their wishes for the woman in question to get the help she needs, and wished Boosie good luck. We’ll see if Badazz says anything else about this development.

Elsewhere, Boosie Badazz is dealing with legal trouble due to an assault lawsuit from earlier this year. However, we doubt he will comment on it much, as he’s careful not to speak on alleged criminal activity online.

At least when it comes to this stalker situation, it seems like this is the end of the road. Hopefully the situation works out and Boosie can return to his viral antics without as much fear for his privacy and safety.

Macklemore Has Spotify’s Most-Streamed Hip-Hop Song & Fans Are Stunned

Aron A. — Fri, 14 Aug 2026 17:03:21 +0000

The Macklemore era was something else, one that most hip-hop heads think about as an afterthought. However, his success can’t be denied one bit. He became a commercial giant who earned respect from the OGs and his peers, though in retrospect, the majority of folks outside of those who liked him in the first place remember his catalog with any sort of real fondness.

A recent post on X revealed that Macklemore’s single, “Can’t Hold Us,” actually holds the crown for the most-streamed hip-hop song on Spotify with 3.4 billion streams. That means the song, released in 2011, has more alleged streams than any song from Kendrick Lamar or Drake–kind of crazy when you think about it. It should be noted that it was a sleeper hit that gained more acclaim and traction in the years that followed its release. In fact, it was also listed as Spotify’s most-streamed song of 2013.

One fan noted, “Man this song got played at every family event, sports game, school event you name it. Any fun time this song played.” Another added, “I’ve never heard this shit in my entire hip hop life.”

A lot of hip-hop fans were confused, especially when artists like Kendrick Lamar, Drake, Juice WRLD, and others have seen tremendous success on the platform. But according to Wikipedia’s list of most streamed Spotify songs, Drake’s “One Dance” ft. WizKid and Kyla boasts 4.407 billion streams, though it’s technically not a rap song. Meanwhile, “Sunflower” by Post Malone and Swae Lee has 4.376 billion streams. However, that’s also more of a pop record.

How do you feel about Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’s “Can’t Hold Us” ft. Ray Dalton? Sound off in the comments below.
