DaBaby was quick to address the ordeal, making it clear that he never had a sexual relationship with Kimora. “That sh*t is 1000% false. That sh*t aint true,” he declared in a video. “I don’t know what the hell you got going on or what made you feel comfortable enough throwing my name out there so loosely like that. I’m looking forward to you cleaning that up Flex.”

Kimora took a similar approach, confirming in an Instagram comment that she and DaBaby have never even met.

“Lol what?!,” she began. “You’re being sassy AF Flex- Respectfully, I’ve never met DaBaby in my life. but YOU on the other hand … [side eye emoji].”

Funk Flex won’t be filling the morning slot for long, despite rumors. This week, he announced that it was just a one-time thing, though he did end up filling in again today.

“I’m only doing one day! Easy!” he explained. “So we are clear! I’m only covering tomorrow only! (One day) @oldmanebro @rosenbergradio @laurastylez you guys have been so amazing in the hardest city in the world! Ebro u was my boss for years… your passion for the music and dedication to the radio game is unmatched! I love you and I’m going to miss u! We been to war together when no one would stand with us! I plan on discussing that tomorrow!”

Back in October, Netflix announced a similar partnership with Spotify Studios and The Ringer. That deal confirmed the addition of several other podcasts to the streaming site, including The Bill Simmons Podcast, The Zach Lowe Show, The McShay Show, and The Rewatchables.

Before Tuesday’s announcement, Hot 97 made headlines for canceling another iconic morning talk show. They shut down Ebro in the Morning after it had been on the air since 2012. “It’s done. More to come,” Ebro wrote in a brief statement on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday when the news broke.

Just a few days later, YB was finally a free man. He hasn’t wasted any time since his release either, immediately getting to work with new music and a tour. Yesterday (December 15), he even dropped a new song called “Top Cobain.” In it, he seemingly references his aforementioned alleged run-in with a fellow inmate.

“If you see them with me, they gettin’ money / In your sleeves, the hundred-round-K punchin’ / Opp packed out on the yard, get his lung punctured,” he raps.

NBA YoungBoy and Lil Durk have been feuding for several years at this point, though in 2023, the former admitted that their beef isn’t all that serious.

His revelation came after Gillie Da Kid expressed interest in helping them squash the beef on his Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast. “If both of them could hit the stage in the same night, it could show the young’uns that that sh*t ain’t that serious,” Gillie said at the time. “The beef ain’t that serious. None of this drama is that serious.”

In response, YB accepted the offer, but reminded Gillie that he was still on house arrest. “Get them to let me out this house and I hit that stage for ya. How you want me to come? Every chain on or just one chain?” he asked. In his caption, he wrote, “It ain’t what you think OG all this sh*t entertainment.”

NBA YoungBoy even took the opportunity to claim that he and Durk were on speaking terms and chatted frequently about music. Durk later accused him of refusing to send over his correct home address, which YB chalked up to his legal woes.

This isn’t the only obstacle the Baddies star has had to overcome recently, however. Over the weekend, she was also jumped by at least two women in Compton. Footage of the incident surfaced online almost immediately, prompting Blueface to weigh in.

He accused her of inciting the incident by playing with Los Angeles gang culture, which she denies. According to her, she even walked away with her chains.

“I went to Compton for the kids no security,” she clarified. “These girls tried playing and then I got in the field. Blueface you scared to go to your own hood let alone Compton. Nobody got scared or punked 6 against 1 straight up. You trynna pick on me on instagram is pathetic. They got whooped. The girl that tried slapping me was scared to fight. She sent 5 girls on me instead of one on one and nobody went to no car. I stayed there till they got the courage to swing and they did nothing.”

Despite all the drama, Chrisean recently decided to try something new and team up with Ryan Garcia for a Kick stream. Sadly, that took a turn for the worse, too. At one point in the stream, they sparred, which was all fun and games until someone got hurt.

The pro boxer accidentally hit Chrisean in the face, leaving her stunned. He quickly apologized, making it clear that it was a total accident. “Nah, I didn’t mean to hit you,” he said, as seen in a clip shared by The Neighborhood Talk. “Oh my God, I’m sorry!” Luckily, it looks like she wasn’t seriously hurt and was able to laugh off the accidental jab.

The drama stems from Lanez’s alleged refusal to answer questions during the court-ordered deposition for Megan’s defamation lawsuit. U.S. Magistrate Judge Lisette M. Reid previously held Lanez in contempt for refusing to cooperate. She fined Lanez $20,000 and Morgan another $5,000.

Court documents allege that Lanez hurled “multiple expletives” at Megan’s legal team during the entire ordeal. When they warned him about financial penalties for his antics, he waved them off and cited his net worth.

Megan Thee Stallion Defamation Lawsuit

Megan Thee Stallion sued Milagro Gramz, accusing her of allegedly spreading numerous falsehoods about her in the wake of the 2020 Tory Lanez shooting, as well as reposting deepfake pornographic videos of her. While the jury in the trial initially found the blogger liable for defamation, Judge Cecilia M. Altonaga later threw out the count. She ruled that Milagro should have been viewed as a media defendant, and the rapper’s lawyers never properly informed her of the lawsuit.

She also confirmed that Megan will still get $59,000 for the counts of intentional infliction of emotional distress and promotion of an altered sexual depiction.

Following the ruling, Megan’s lawyer, Mari Henderson, wrote that they were happy with the result in a public statement. “We’re thankful for the jury’s commitment to reinforcing the importance of truth, accountability and responsible commentary on social media,” the statement read. “Not only is Milagro being held accountable for paying Megan compensatory and punitive damages, but Florida’s fee-shifting legal provision will require her to cover [the] costs of Megan’s legal bills on the deepfake claim. This verdict sends a clear message that spreading dangerous misinformation carries significant consequences.”

Tory Lanez is currently serving a 10-year prison sentence after a jury found him guilty of first-degree assault with a firearm, discharge of a firearm with gross negligence, and having a concealed firearm in a vehicle. The charges stemmed from a 2020 shooting involving Megan Thee Stallion.

This led to theories that Gunna might have turned his back on his co-defendants, which he denies. Regardless, the rumors persist, though Young Thug kept fairly quiet on the matter until a few weeks ago. According to him, he still has love for Gunna, but their relationship will never be what it once was.

“I think I’m just in the unpacking phase,” he said on the Its Up There podcast in September. “It ain’t even about not f*cking with you because I want him to just understand why I feel like it shouldn’t happen again because I’m not gonna be able to look at you the same no matter what. We can get a trillion dollars together. I’m still not gonna be able to look at you the way I looked at you before we went to jail. We love each other, we’re just going our own ways. Sometimes you do that.”

Young Thug & Gunna Beef

One person who appears to still have Gunna’s back despite the alleged snitching scandal is Young Thug’s father, Jeffrey Williams Sr. Recently, he even came out to support the rapper at his sold-out show in Atlanta, as seen in photos shared by @Gunnadaily4ever on Twitter/X.

This is far from the first time Williams Sr. has shown love to Gunna despite the snitching rumors. During an interview in 2023, he insisted that he hadn’t done anything to hurt his son’s case. In 2024, he made an appearance in his “One Of Wun” music video.

That same year, he attended another one of Gunna’s performances in Atlanta, showing off his moves in the crowd.

“When I did what I did, it was because people were backstabbing me. No one backstabbed Young Thug for him to snitch,” 6ix9ine argued, referencing a clip of Thug speaking about Peewee Roscoe that resurfaced earlier this year. “So, it’s actually worse. And the way 21 Savage covered up Young Thug snitching was like, ‘That ain’t snitching. He’s just talking too much.’ They literally tell you in the beginning of an interrogation, you have the right to remain silent… right then and there, they give you a chance to just shut the f*ck up. Now you say, ‘I was trying to throw them off.’ That’s not your job. That’s what lawyers get paid for.”

As the clip has been circulating on X (formerly Twitter), fans have been having mixed reactions to 6ix9ine’s argument. “Thug ain’t put nobody in prison, if you watch the whole interrogation video and listen he didn’t give no type of info they could use against Roscoe, everything he said in the interrogation is info the detectives already knew,” one user wrote. Another added: “I Hate This Dude Frfr .. Mad He Even Got A Platform it’s all you lame n****s fault.”

21 Savage originally called out 6ix9ine during an interview on Perspektives With Bank, last week. “The rat boy who was wearing lace fronts and s**t,” Savage said, referring to the controversial rapper. “The n***a who told in New York, man, who told on all them n***as in New York, the Mexican, the Internet took his s**t down. He can’t go. Ain’t no gas in the car, n***a, what you mean he just stopped?”

Prior to that, 6ix9ine had joked about 21 Savage being from the United Kingdom during an interview with DJ Vlad. “I’m definitely marrying Latto. I’ma marry Latto so she could give a green card to her husband,” Tekashi said at the time, referring to her relationship with 21.

“I am thankful I’m able to be there for my family in ways that other people or parents are not,” she added. “If I wasn’t this person, I don’t know if we would’ve made it or if we would be okay. It’s been very important to me to be strong and self-reliant, and to constantly be growing.”

In response to his ex’s remarks, Russell took to Threads to share his side of the story.

“I gave u 50,000 a month for 20 years,” he alleged. “I was ur best /only friend. I’m the godfather to your other 3 kids, until one day you stole my stock. I have been fighting for my kids love and my bread ever since. You threatened that if I sued you, I would never speak to my kids again. There are two sides to every story.”

Russell accused Kimora Lee and her husband, Tim Leissner, of stealing Celsius energy drink shares to pay his bail in a lawsuit filed back in 2021.

Kimora didn’t waste any time, immediately firing back in a post on her Instagram Story. “My ‘girls’ are GROWN WOMEN,” she declared, per PEOPLE. “You know these are lies. Why are you typing from thousands of miles away in a non extradition country? Go negotiate and Answer your Accusers.”

In 2017, several women came forward to accuse Russell of rape and sexual misconduct. He’s repeatedly denied the allegations.

“Ebro’s usually up in Apple throwing his weight around, talking to people like they’re scum and dirt beneath his shoes,” Ak alleged. “… I hear that’s how he was at Apple. Not today. Today, he showed up, from what I was told, two hours early. He sat quietly in the lobby. He basically had his corporate voice on.”

“The Hot 97 bosses hit me up too,” Ak further claimed. “They said that y’all were mailing it in, y’all were lazy, and basically, y’all were pulling a highway robbery, collecting a check while doing nothing. Y’all stopped going to events, y’all stopped doing everything, and apparently, ever since the pandemic… they refused to go in the studio when the rent is sky high.”

What Happened To “Ebro In The Morning?”

Ebro Darden confirmed the end of his morning talk show in a post on X on Friday. “It’s done. More to come,” he wrote in a brief statement at the time. He later elaborated on the reasoning, theorizing that the owners at Hot 97 wanted to silence him. “Bro’s a casino owner. You know the three licenses they got in NY for the casino? The guy that owns the sh*t owns one of the casino licenses,” Darden said, as caught by Complex. “He gotta raise half a billion dollars. They need my sh*t talking, anti-Netanyahu, anti-government, progressive sh*t out of the way, bro. They need me out of the way.”

Ebro’s feud with Akademiks began after he traded shots on social media with the livestreamer’s longtime ally, Drake. The Toronto rapper had posted an axe emoji in response to the end of Ebro in the Morning. The move prompted Ebro to label him “right wing.”

This week, for example, the Toronto rapper sent him a set of seriously ominous messages at 3:30 a.m. “Die slower pussy,” one of them reads. “We got some sh*t for you.”

In his response, Ebro made it clear that he doesn’t want any smoke. “Relax,” he wrote. “You’re salty about losing to Kendrick. You’re not mad at me… Love bro.” Rosenberg shared his thoughts on the exchange during the show, and revealed what he would do in his co-host’s position. According to him, he’d take a page from Drake’s book.

“It’s a good response,” he said. “Honestly, I think it’s great. That’s a really good response. […] If I were you, I would do what Drake would do: sue. It feels like a threat. He said ‘die’ and then ‘we got some sh*t for you.’ I’m going to court like you, Drizzy. I’m going to court.”

Ebro has been a vocal critic of Drake for some time now, and came down on him particularly hard throughout his viral battle with Kendrick Lamar. As news of the cancellation of In The Morning began to circulate online late last week, he interjected with a simple hatchet emoji to let everyone know his stance.

This prompted Ebro to call him out in a tweet. “Drake is ‘right-wing’ and so is sAK [sic],” he claimed. Rosenberg then called the performer out in a tweet of his own. “It’s behavior like this that has made it impossible for people to defend the wack s**t that he does,” he insisted. “But happy Hanukkah my one time pal .. I truly wish you well even if you’re celebrating what you believe is our demise (spoiler alert — we’re about to be much bigger now that we won’t be held back by a company that is and has been completely lost ever since they bought the station!).”
