Their song was previously used to promote the FX series Reservation Dogs, and was released three years before Cardi’s. They pushed for Cardi’s track not to be featured on her sophomore album, Am I The Drama?

“Should Cardi B and her associates be permitted to release the album including the single ‘Enough (Miami),’ the damages to plaintiffs will not only be irreparable, but almost impossible to calculate,” their attorney, Robert Flores, argued. “Enjoining the release of one song from an album with 23 song slots is less damage than allowing it to be released.”

AllHipHop’s Grouchy Greg Watkins exclusively reports that a federal judge in Texas has dismissed the lawsuit, claiming that it was filed in the wrong place. The case was dismissed without prejudice, meaning that Fraustro and Aguilar have the option to refile in the future.

Cardi B Legal Issues

This isn’t the only legal win Cardi has under her belt, either. Back in 2022, she also won a major defamation lawsuit against Tasha K. The gossip blogger was later ordered to pay a $3.9 million judgment.

Tasha K ended up starting a GoFundMe earlier this month in hopes of paying it off once and for all.

“For years many of you have asked me to start a fundraiser to help me pay off the judgment against me. I always refused because I believed it was my responsibility to handle it on my own,” the description reads. “But after many conversations with you all, I’m finally listening.”

“People don’t know that the Democrats are the party of the KKK,” Cannon said on the show in a viral clip. “People don’t know that the Republicans are the party that freed the slaves.” While a commonly cited fact, the idea of the Republican Party being responsible for ending slavery fails to acknowledge the structural realignment of both parties in the mid-20th century.

“Both you and I have some conservative views. You just a little bit more outspoken about it than I am. I honestly don’t subscribe to either party,” Cannon continued. “I rock with W. E. B. Du Bois, when he said there’s no such thing as two parties. It’s just one evil party with two different names.”

Cannon went on the described Trump as “cleaning house,” adding that “he’s doing what he said he was going to do.” He explained: “We got the Gulf of America now. He’s like the club. He’s charging a $5 million bottle service fee to get into the country. I (expletive) with Trump.”

Amber Rose’s Donald Trump Support

Rose has voiced her support for Donald Trump and the conservative party numerous times in recent years. She even spoke on stage at the 2024 Republican National Convention. Speaking with Maxim for an interview, last year, Amber Rose addressed the backlash she’s received. “During the election, I was ‘canceled.’ Now? All the naysayers are quiet,” she said at the time. “They see he’s already changing our country for the better… Unfortunately, the ‘woke’ left cancels people for having a different ideology. Fortunately for me, I don’t give a f*ck and will always stand 10 toes down until the wheels fall off, regardless of what my beliefs may be.”

Rose and Cannon aren’t the only celebrities to make headlines for speaking out in support of Trump in recent months. Nicki Minaj has also been coming under fire for praising the Republican Party.

The topic began with Benny Blanco asking Lizzo for the “craziest” celebrity to slide into her DMs. “All of them,” she said, referencing hip-hop artists. “I was really confused. Mind you, I grew up a big girl and I grew up like, guys didn’t like me like that. Where I grew up, if you were fat, you were ugly, which, that’s not true. Fat doesn’t equal ugly, but where I grew up, that’s what it was. So, I was kind of invisible to all the guys. No one liked me in high school. One guy liked me in high school, and he was like, so ashamed that he would pass me notes. ‘Come and hook up with me at this place,” and I was like, ‘No, I’m not gonna do that. What the f*ck is wrong with you.'”

Lizzo continued: “When all this shifted, and I started getting these DMs, I was confused. I was like, ‘I don’t even know what this person’s intention is. I thought it was all friendly. People had to tell me, ‘Hey, no. This person is trying to f*ck you.’ I was like, ‘What?’ I’m so oblivious.”

As the clip has been circulating on social media, fans have been having mixed reactions. “This is exactly why you gotta be careful being nice to people cuz then they friends or delusions gon gas it despite what sense is telling them,” one user wrote on X (formerly Twitter). Another questioned: “Every is a stretch. So, Jay Z?”

Lizzo’s “Don’t Make Me Love U”

Lizzo’s interview with Benny Blanco comes after putting out a new music video for her latest single, “Don’t Make Me Love U,” earlier this month. She finished recording her fifth studio album, Love in Real Life, last year, but has yet to release it.

“I am not going to lie. This was a banger album,” he explained, as seen in a clip shared by Kurrco. “I feel like he didn’t do too much overly experimental sh*t. I feel like he did just enough. You feel me? I ain’t gonna lie, I like this one. I really like this one, honestly. I’ll f*ck with it.”

Cenat is far from the only person feeling Ye’s latest release, as so far, it’s been a huge streaming success. Recently, it was even reported that it’s charted at No. 1 on Apple Music in more countries than any other rap album released this year. That record was previously held by J. Cole’s The Fall-Off, his seventh and potentially last album.

Kanye West BULLY First-Week Sales Projections

BULLY racked up an impressive 30 million Spotify streams in its first day, making it the strongest hip-hop debut of the year so far. It’s expected to move anywhere from 250K to 275K album-equivalent units in its first week, with 100K coming from pure sales.

Kanye West and Kai Cenat have an interesting history. While the Chicago-born artist has praised the internet personality in the past, he’s also insulted him on various occasions. Last April, Ye even claimed to have “invented” streaming and accused Cenat of stealing his ideas.

“I invented the streaming s**t with Donda,” he said during a livestream. “N***as is taking the whole swag and running with it.” Ye later called out both Cenat and Adin Ross for only wanting to collaborate when it’s “safe” to do so, and not in the midst of his controversies.

“Twenty years is a lifetime in this business, and I’m proud of the work John and I did together that was rooted in creativity, trust, love, and ambition,” Stiklorius said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter. “I’m energized by what’s ahead for both of us as I pass the music management baton to Jay Brown at ROC Nation. I continue to be John’s partner in the many for-profit and non-profit ventures we built together and John’s biggest champion.”

He has yet to officially announce the move and was still with Stiklorius as recently as last month. In February, Stiklorius discussed working with Legend during a panel discussion for a Global Citizen event. She is still representing several high-profile artists at Friends at Work, including Charlie Puth, The National, and more.

As for Roc Nation, they represent a plethora of popular celebrities, including Alicia Keys, A$AP Rocky, Rihanna, Clipse, Lil Uzi Vert, and Megan Thee Stallion, among others. They also have a sports management division that rosters a number of successful athletes as well.

A post shared by Charleston J White (@charlestonwhite46)

White’s post arrives shortly after another one of Young Thug’s foes, Ralo, shared his thoughts on his alleged run-in.

“Wise men don’t start fights that they can’t win,” he declared in a post on his Instagram Story. “Some sht you just gotta walk pass. Only ah damn fool would publicly push up on Charleston White and yawl know how he coming. The man Charleston White is a gangsta worst nightmare fr. Cuz yawl gone play crazy and he gone send yawl straight to the crazy house fr…”

Every real street n***a across the globe know not to f**k with Charleston White. Y’all supposed to stay out of that man’s way, you damn fool.”

Now, The Mercury News reports that EBK Jaaybo could face some serious prison time for his alleged involvement. Back in 2025, the Stockton rapper was arrested after a traffic stop. During the stop, officers discovered marijuana, pills, $8K cash, and a machine-gun-converted Glock in the vehicle. He was charged with possession of a gun by a person with a felony history, transporting a firearm across state lines while under indictment, and possession of a machine gun in furtherance of drug trafficking. In June, EBK Jaaybo pleaded not guilty to his charges.

Recently, he was hit with new charges for allegedly being in possession of the gun used to carry out DreamLlifeRizzy’s shooting. As a result, he could be sentenced to over 30 years behind bars.

EBK Jaaybo Legal Issues

At the time of writing, EBK Jaaybo’s team has not publicly addressed this latest development in his case.

Despite EBK Jaaybo’s legal woes, he appears to have done his best to keep his music career afloat. Last year, he was part of the 2025 XXL Freshman Class alongside artists like Ray Vaughn, BabyChiefDoit, Eem Triplin, ian, 1900Rugrat, Samara Cyn, YTB Fatt, GELO, and more. He was arrested on his way to the shoot, however, prompting him to deliver his freestyle while in custody at the Pope County Detention Center in Russellville, Arkansas.

He’s released various singles since then, making it clear that he doesn’t plan on giving up even under the difficult circumstances. These singles include “Fly Swatter,” “Load Em Up,” “5K,” “I’m Coming,” and “Someone You Love,” among others. He also released a full-length album last May, Don’t Trust Me. It features appearances from the likes of EBK Pig, EBK Leebo, and VonOff1700.

“PLEASE WELCOME @MissNunnNatalie TO HER FIRST EVER FESTIVAL PERFORMANCE,” the organization wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “i’m cancelling da bnb gang i’m being so deadass i don’t even wanna go anymore,” one user replied. Another added: “Yall just shouldn’t have added anyone. Reliving the amount of ass this lineup is. Summer smash gonna make yall look like a real underground festival lmao.” One more wrote: “Who? You know the summer smash lineup is actually gonna be good right?”

Nunn ended up confirming the news in a video message on Instagram. “What’s up you guys? It’s your favorite baddie, Natalie Nunn. In Orlando, it’s going down May 8th through the 10th. Y’all better get your tickets. Rolling Loud, yes,” she said. “Your girl, the baddiest baddie, doing what I want, is going to be hitting the stage at Rolling Loud so I need y’all to get your tickets right now. We’re gonna be at the Camping World Stadium.”

Who Is Performing At Rolling Loud?

Outside of Natalie Nunn, Rolling Loud has already announced several high-profile artists for the lineup. They include Playboi Carti, Don Toliver, and NBA YoungBoy as headliners with other performers including Chief Keef, Destroy Lonely, Sexyy Red, EsDeeKid, FakeMink, Nettspend, PlaqueBoyMax, and more.

“This lineup is a statement,” Tariq Cherif, Rolling Loud’s co-founder, said in a press release back in January. “Playboi Carti, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, and Don Toliver each represent different forces shaping hip-hop right now, and bringing them together for our only U.S. festival of 2026 felt intentional.”

Rolling Loud will be kicking off on May 8 and will run through May 10. Tickets for the event went on sale, earlier this year. A three-day, general admission ticket cost $249 USD.

With that being said, Cam Newton caught a lot of flak for bringing Jason Whitlock on his show. Newton is Smith’s colleague at ESPN, and some felt that this was a sign of disloyalty. Ryan Clark made that clear on social media. While Newton had on Whitlock to discuss his own personal history with the commentator, things did devolve when Stephen A. was brought up.

Last week, Smith addressed Whitlock, claiming that he was going to make a GoFundMe. He even threw some cash on the ground to embarrass Whitlock. This week, Smith was back to talk about the situation, especially in light of Clark’s call-out of Newton. As you can imagine, the latest comments from Smith were mostly directed at Newton, who is still feeling the fallout of his interview.

Stephen A. Smith On Cam Newton

Surprisingly, Smith doesn’t seem to be very upset with Newton. He understands that the content game reigns supreme these days. Furthermore, he feels as though it was fair for Newton to want to hash things out with Whitlock, someone he has some history.

Smith subsequently went on to say that the discussion about himself was a natural progression, and he doesn’t blame Newton for broaching the subject. Whitlock said how he feels, and Smith has smoke for him as opposed to his colleague. It is a measured response for Smith, who is known for mostly being upset with whoever slights him in the smallest ways possible.

The ESPN legend is certainly in an interesting spot right now. He has a blossoming political career and has been looking to branch out from the sports world. Whether or not any of his political aspirations are successful is something that remains to be seen.

Meanwhile, we are sure this beef with Whitlock will persist until the end of time.
