“Motherf*ckers said I was on Ozempic, bro… I’ve never been more offended in my life,” he said, as captured by @2Cool2Blog. “Y’all got me f*cked up.” He then went on to share various videos of himself working hard at the gym, proving that he attained his figure the old-fashioned way. ScHoolboy Q says he hits the gym almost every single day to do a full-body workout.

“Full body, every day,” he explained. “Stop crying like a little b*tch, every day. Yeah, let’s get to it, ya hear me?”

Celebrity Ozempic Rumors

He then proceeded to share a workout video, captioning it, “I do these every day… not joking every f*cking day.” He later shared a different video, which shows him lifting weights. “Do 6-8 reps for da big muscles stop doing 10 lil bro,” he also added.

ScHoolboy Q is far from the only celebrity to fall victim to Ozempic rumors in recent years, however. Ice Spice also faced them back in 2024, but she was quick to shut them down.

“I wish y’all never learned the word Ozempic. That’s one thing I wish. Oh my God! Like what even is Ozempic? What the f*ck is that? Genuinely, what is that?” she said on Twitter Spaces at the time. “You lazy a*s b*tches never heard of a gym? It’s called eating healthy. It’s called being on tour. Like what the hell. Maybe if I was sitting at home all day it’d be easier to stay big.”

The femcee later revealed that depression also contributed to her weight loss, proving that critics should keep their opinions to themselves when they don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes.

The move comes after Marseille’s mayor, Benoit Payan, spoke out against letting West perform at the concert in a statement on X (formerly Twitter), last month. “I refuse to let Marseille be a showcase for those who promote hatred and unapologetic Nazism,” Payan wrote at the time. “Kanye West is not welcome at the Vélodrome, our temple of living together and of all Marseillais.”

Kanye West Wireless Festival

It wouldn’t be the first time a country has refused to allow Kanye West to perform in recent weeks. The United Kingdom similarly blocked his attempt to headline Wireless Festival in London. The Home Office denied his application, citing his antisemitic antics in recent years.

In response, the organizers of Wireless Festival canceled the event entirely. “As a result of the Home Office banning YE from entering the United Kingdom, Wireless Festival has been forced to cancel,” they wrote in a statement on Instagram. “All ticket holders will receive an automatic full refund.”

West tried to fix the situation by saying he was willing to meet with representatives from the Jewish community in London to make amends. “To Those I’ve Hurt: I’ve been following the conversation around Wireless and want to address it directly. My only goal is to come to London and present a show of change, bringing unity, peace, and love through my music,” he wrote in a statement. “I know words aren’t enough – I’ll have to show change through my actions. If you’re open, I’m here. With Love, Ye, formerly known as Kanye West.”

West still has several other performances lined up across the world in the coming months. He’ll also perform in the Netherlands, India, and more countries. The shows come after he shared his latest album, Bully, last month.

“I have covered the NFL with professionalism and dedication throughout my career, and I stand behind every story I have ever published. When the Page Six item first appeared, The Athletic supported me unequivocally, expressed confidence in my work and pride in my journalism. For that I am grateful. In the days that followed, unfortunately, commentators in various media have engaged in self-feeding speculation that is simply unmoored from the facts,” Russini wrote.

She continued: “Moreover, this media frenzy is hurtling forward without regard for the review process The Athletic is trying to complete. It continues to escalate, fueled by repeated leaks, and I have no interest in submitting to a public inquiry that has already caused far more damage than I am willing to accept. Rather than allowing this to continue, I have decided to step aside now — before my current contract expires on June 30. I do so not because I accept the narrative that has been constructed around this episode, but because I refuse to lend it further oxygen or to let it define me or my career.”

Dianna Russini & Mike Vrabel Pictures

The drama with Russini and Vrabel began, earlier this month, when The New York Post published the aforementioned photos. Both of them, who are each in marriages, denied any inappropriate behavior. “Those photos show a completely innocent interaction and any suggestion otherwise is laughable,” the Patriots head coach said. Russini added that the images “don’t represent the group of six people who were hanging out during the day.”

This isn’t the only streaming record Drake has beaten recently, either. Earlier this month, it was also reported that he’s on track to have the biggest streaming year for a rapper ever. He’s already surpassed a staggering 5 billion streams on Spotify in 2026. Needless to say, he’s likely to rack up plenty more by the end of the year.

News of Drake’s latest milestone comes as fans await his ninth studio album, ICEMAN. The project doesn’t have an official release date at the time of writing. It’s expected to drop sometime in the next few months.

Drake Teases ICEMAN

Drake’s been teasing the project for quite a while now. He frequently drops hints on social media, during livestreams, and more. While some supporters are growing impatient, others believe the break is exactly what haters need to change their minds about the Toronto MC.

During a livestream earlier this week, for example, DJ Akademiks claimed that Drake is gaining more fans as the delays continue.

“Stall them out. That’s my advice,” the internet personality explained. “I think every day Drake don’t drop, it makes another f*cking hater realize he was a f*cking fan all along. Every day Drake doesn’t drop, another b*tch ass n***a that started hating in the last year realizes he’s a f*cking fan. You know why? Because he doesn’t have anything to talk about, nothing to listen to, and all he keeps talking about is what he thinks Drake’s gonna do or not do. F*cking fan, be a fan.”

As the clip circulated on X (formerly Twitter), fans voiced their support for 50. “Seriously though, respect people’s privacy at the gym! Let. this is the way,” one user wrote. Another added: “Literally the last person I’d ever put on blast on social media.” One more blamed 50, countering: “N***a don’t got a gym at home? What he expect? He pull up 6 deep at the dumbbells.”

50 Cent’s Hulu Documentary

In other news, 50 Cent will be the subject of an upcoming three-part docuseries for Hulu that will trace his early life in Queens, New York, to his current-day success as a musician and business mogul. “Through an intimate and revealing lens, the series portrays a figure who has consistently transformed conflict and adversity into enduring cultural impact,” the logline reads, according to Variety.

Mandon Lovett will serve as the director for the project. His previous credits include Boys In Blue, Origins Of Hip Hop, The French Montana Story: For Khadija, and more. 50 Cent will be serving as an executive producer.

The project comes after 50 Cent teamed up with Netflix, last year, to release his Diddy documentary, Sean Combs: The Reckoning. That series tackled the Bad Boy mogul and the criminal allegations he’s faced in recent years.

The drama with his gym isn’t the only reason 50 Cent has made headlines for his antics on social media, this week. In a video of him and Uncle Murda, he trolled Gucci Mane for allegedly snitching on Pooh Shiesty. Authorities arrested Shiesty for allegedly kidnapping and robbing Gucci Mane at gunpoint, earlier this year. “Could be worse, you could be Gucci,” 50 joked to Murda in the video.

The strike sent him falling to the ground, where he “hit his head and lost consciousness.” West allegedly then “repeatedly punched him as he lay unconscious on the ground.”

As for West’s motivation for the alleged attack, the victim claims the rapper falsely accused him of behaving inappropriately toward a woman in West’s party. “[West] repeated and embellished these lies during a widely viewed podcast appearance, exposing plaintiff to public scorn, suspicion and ridicule,” the lawsuit claims. West has yet to publicly address the lawsuit.

Kanye West Tour Dates

In other news, Kanye West has returned to performing in recent weeks following the release of his latest album, Bully. He headlined two shows at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, earlier this month. After that, he ran into trouble in the United Kingdom ahead of his performance at Wireless Festival in London.

The Home Office denied his application to travel to the country, citing his antisemitic antics in recent years. In response, the organizers of Wireless Festival canceled the event. “As a result of the Home Office banning YE from entering the United Kingdom, Wireless Festival has been forced to cancel,” they wrote in a statement on Instagram. “All ticket holders will receive an automatic full refund.”

In the coming months, he’s still scheduled to perform in India, the Netherlands, France, and more countries.

Yesterday (April 13), Pooh Shiesty’s lawyer Bradford Cohen chatted with Jesse Weber for Law and Crime’s Sidebar. He addressed prosecutors’ allegation that his client went to Staples shortly before the ordeal to print out the contract, insisting that this isn’t the case. According to him, Pooh Shiesty was probably just printing out song lyrics.

“I don’t even care if they’re at Staples,” he explained. “They are going to a recording studio. Normally, my clients usually print off the lyrics for different individuals. If you have five individuals that are going to be on one record, and they each have a section or a part, they’ll usually print those things off.”

Pooh Shiesty Charges

“We have to create the defense and create a way to make sure that [the government] is held to their burden,” he added. “So, it doesn’t matter what they say. It matters what they have.”

Cohen previously denied prosecutors’ allegations about physical evidence. He also argued that it took the FBI months to arrest his client because there was something about the case giving them pause.

“The FBI doesn’t take three months to arrest someone if they believe everything that was said on the night that it occurred,” he claimed. “They were involved the first night, and then nothing happened for three months.”

“I’m just shocked that when they say there might be video out there — they don’t have it,” Cohen continued. “There might be this mystery contract — they don’t have it.”

Pooh Shiesty is facing charges of kidnapping and robbery, and could be hit with a potential life sentence if convicted.

Lil Tjay’s Arrest

Following the shooting, authorities arrested Lil Tjay for allegedly instigating the incident. They booked him on a misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge, and he was released on bond shortly afterward. While leaving the jail, he told reporters that Offset was a “rat.” 

Offset eventually broke his silence on the incident and confirmed that he was doing “good” in a statement, last week. “Thank you to everyone who’s checked in on me and showed me love!” he wrote. “I’m good….but I’m planning to be better! I’m focused on my family, my recovery, and getting back to the music. Realizing that life is made up of quiet wins and loud losses…. Life’s a gamble and I’m still playing to win. $ET.”

His mom also weighed in on the drama in a video post on social media. “I don’t typically address things about my son on social media. I learned a long time ago that facts rarely survive the internet, and I refuse to feed that machine… But today, I have to speak,” she said. “Six days ago, my son was shot. Four days later, he was released from the hospital. Last night, he was on a stage doing what he loves to do. He is a miracle walking. That is God’s grace, that is God’s mercy.”

In the wake of the shooting, several celebrities came out to allege that Offset owes them money. Ebro Darden and former NFL star Dez Bryant were among them.

News of his shooting has earned big reactions from social media users and peers. Recently, for example, Wack 100 shared his thoughts on the ordeal on Clubhouse. He argued that YoungBoy won’t “pull a Lil Durk” over the shooting, as captured by @Thechat101, and will prioritize his own freedom instead.

Lil Durk is currently behind bars on charges related to an alleged murder-for-hire plot. Authorities accuse him of hiring various individuals to fly to Los Angeles to murder Quando Rondo in retaliation for the 2020 murder of King Von. In 2022, Quando Rondo and his cousin Lul Pab were targeted in a shooting at an L.A. gas station. Quando Rondo walked away unscathed, but Lul Pab died of his injuries.

When Is Lil Durk’s Trial?

Durk pleaded not guilty to his charges in November 2024. He’s currently awaiting his trial, which is expected to begin this August.

News of Wack 100’s comments comes as AllStar JR continues to taunt the injured rapper. This week, he offered $20K to whoever wins his new challenge, which involves lying on the floor as if they had just been shot. Almost immediately after the shooting, he also took to Instagram to share a series of photos of himself at a jewelry store. For obvious reasons, his caption raised eyebrows.

“Had To Shoot To The D And Get New Ice Cuz My Mans Ben 10 Took Some Of My Stuff To The Hospital With Him #JRClosedTheElevatorOnRon #OG3LeftThemN****s #AllThatPlaying,” he wrote. This led some to believe that AllStar JR could have allegedly been involved in the shooting somehow, though this remains unconfirmed.

The segment has gotten a lot of love from viewers online, and recently, Harlow took to his Instagram Story to address it. According to him, Marshall’s impression was pretty convincing. So much so, in fact, that he tricked Harlow’s own relative.

“My aunt texted me and told me she was proud of me for going on SNL and addressing everything,” he revealed, as seen in a screenshot shared by Pop Base on Twitter/X. “My aunt That I am related to Actually thought that was me.”

Jack Harlow Monica Controversy

News of Harlow’s confession comes just a few weeks after he appeared on the New York Times’ “Popcast,” where he opened up about his newest work. He claimed that he “got Blacker” on Monica, raising eyebrows among viewers.

“I think I love Black music,” he explained. “I love the sound of Black music. Of course, I’m hyper-aware of the politics of today, that safer landing spot that a lot of my white contemporaries have found. Of course, it appealed to me to do something that I felt like, at a time when there’s plenty of people expecting me to take some of the routes that y’all are taking, to take the route that not only might not be expected, but is also the one I genuinely want to take. So all the stars aligned in that way for me, to be honest.”

“I’m not going to pretend like what you’re talking about, I was like, ‘Huh, I guess you’re right,'” he continued. “I knew that there were multiple things appealing about this route. But I also came to the decision, I’m proud to say, off of what feels good to my ear. I love R&B music. I love the sound of soft, intimate, melodic music. So I want to be understood. I want to write melodies that invite people to sing along.”
