The Might Delete Later performance was enjoyed by fans, although Cam was hoping to get a Cole interview out of it. When he couldn’t get an interview or a verse, he decided to take action and file the lawsuit.

“Two years later, with Cole having refused to honor his agreement to collaborate with plaintiff on either a single or on the podcast, defendants nevertheless released the sound recording,” Cam’s lawyers explained.

The two eventually hashed things out on Cam’s show Talk With Flee. At the time, it appeared as though things were about to turn a corner. Now, the hatched has been officially buried.

J. Cole and Cam’ron Are At Peace

At the time of Cam’s lawsuit, Cole’s lawyers were adamant that this was a shakedown of sorts. They felt as though Cam’ron was being unreasonable and that the lawsuit should be thrown out altogether.

“Plaintiff encouraged and blessed defendants’ use of his performance, as it was to his career benefit,” Cole’s legal team replied. “It was only after the release of ‘Ready ‘24’ that he began to demand unreasonable conditions never agreed to by Cole, or an excessive fee inconsistent with industry standards for a featured performance, followed by the filing of this lawsuit without notice to publicly disparage Cole as leverage.”

In the end, it is good to see these two patch things up. At the end of the day, you never want to see two legends battling it out in court.

There was quite a bit of anticipation for Drizzy to pass MJ. Drake even hinted at that with the Jackson tribute on the cover of his album ICEMAN. He has been waiting for this moment, and he did not skip a beat on social media when the record was confirmed.

Below, you can see that the artist posted an image of Michael Jackson, stylized as the “ICEMAN.” Or at least, that is how it seems. He also offered up a braggadocios caption.

“Neck broke from carrying the chain/Back broke from carrying the game/Records broken carry on my name/Carry on carry on,” Drake wrote.

Drake has every right to be feeling himself right about now. He was counted out a couple of years ago, and even heading into this rollout, fans weren’t sure if this album would live up to the hype.

While there are some detractors out there, the album is currently being praised by the vast majority of listeners. Drizzy has provided us with a song of the summer, and for now, some would argue he has a frontrunner for album of the year.

It’s going to be tough for other artists to measure up. The only hip-hop artist who could do it is Kendrick Lamar, but maybe now is not the time to get into that.

Recently, Ross was on a podcast hosted by conservative commentator Patrick Bet-David. It was here that Ross and PBD got into a bit of a back-and-forth about 50 Cent and his wealth. PBD argued that Fif has built quite the empire for himself and is worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

However, Ross wasn’t so convinced of that. In fact, he opted to go off on Fif, telling him that he should come and wash the bottom of his yacht. He even suggested that an attraction could be made out of it.

“Just because of you, I’ll let 50 wash the bottom of my yacht,” Ross said. “He’ll get the goggles, the mouthpiece, the fins on his feet and he could flap like flipper.”

50 Cent and Rick Ross Beef Continues

This subsequently led to a deeper discussion about Ross’ wealth. Bet-David continued to argue that 50 Cent is worth $100 million. Meanwhile, Rick Ross alleged that those numbers came before the bankruptcy and are no longer accurate.

“No, that was before the bankruptcy and all that. Come on now, let’s talk about this abuse and the bankruptcy,” Ross said matter-of-factly.

Whether or not 50 Cent decides to defend himself is something that remains to be seen. Overall, there is no doubt that Rick Ross is trying to inflict as much damage as humanly possible. Whether or not that strategy is actually going to work and hold up very much remains to be seen. Either way, this is just yet another example of how deep this feud goes.

Having said that, it is also a common phrase, and can certainly be used for marketing purposes. In fact, Nike and LeBron James recently teamed up for the “Dreams & Nightmares’ LeBron 23 collection. Part of this collection involves shoes and even t-shirts.

However, some have pointed out that this feels like an encroachment on Meek’s art. Even the designs on t-shirts have been compared to Meek’s album covers. Meek Mill himself noticed all of this on social media and decided to call out Nike himself.

Meek Mill Has A Point

“So @nike just gone take my whole brand and mash it up with LeBron … what is this … why wouldn’t anybody holler at me about this? I thought the sneaks was fake? Wassup with this?” Meek wrote.

He subsequently posted the shoes, which are called “Lux Dreams And Nightmares.” He originally thought the shoes might be fake, but it is clear that they are a real pair.

This has subsequently led to a debate about whether or not Meek has a real case against Nike and LeBron James. Even if he doesn’t, some find it reprehensible that Nike would still try to use these themes and designs. It’s a tough subject to broach, and we’re sure Nike themselves has an explanation.

At this time, Nike and LeBron have yet to comment on the matter. We will be sure to let you know if that changes.

According to a new report from TMZ, it appears as though Mychelle may have some underlying issues with Mayweather. We say this because footage posted on social media shows Yaya Mayweather in a brawl with three other women.

According to social media and a TMZ report, the women in question are reportedly related to Jazlyn Mychelle. In fact, it is being said on social media that the three women are her sisters. At this time, it is unclear how this all started and what exactly brought it on.

Yaya Mayweather Takes On Jazlyn Mychelle’s Sisters

What we do know is that Mayweather was out celebrating her birthday in Houston. It seemed like she was having a good night up until that point. Then she was confronted, and the brawl ensued. Based on the footage above, it is clear that Mayweather held her own in the brawl, although a three vs. one is not exactly what anyone would describe as a fair fight.

Ultimately, this is an unfortunate situation, and we’re sure that more information will be made available soon. At this time, Mayweather nor Mychelle has commented on the situation. The same goes for YoungBoy, who is likely looking to stay out of this situation entirely.

We will be sure to keep you informed in case any new details arise.

The three aforementioned albums are taking up the top three spots on the Billboard 200. Meanwhile, it was recently revealed that Drake now has the number one song with “Janice STFU.” This has allowed him to pass Michael Jackson for the most number one hits from a male solo artist. He is currently tied with Rihanna and Taylor Swift with 14 number ones. While Mariah Carey is ahead with 19, and the Beatles hold the record with 20.

In addition to the number one hit, it has subsequently been revealed that Drake now occupies nine spots in the Top 10. Furthermore, he has charted 42 songs on the Billboard Hot 100. This breaks Morgan Wallen’s record of debuting 37 tracks on the charts at one time.

Drake Is On Top Yet Again

Drake has charted over 400 songs on the Hot 100. This is a truly exceptional record, and it just goes to show that the artist is one of the best in the entire world when it comes to hitmaking.

If you are curious about the songs Drake entered into the Top 10, you can find them below.

Drake In The Top 10

#1: Janice STFU
#2: Ran to Atlanta
#3: Whisper My Name
#4: Shabang
#6: National Treasures
#7: Make Them Cry
#8: Dust
#9: 2 Hard 4 the Radio
#10: Make Them Pay

Overall, Drake is a hit-making machine, and these results only further that cause. Only time will tell which of these songs stick for the time being.

However, in the midst of all of this, Ye is looking to keep things moving with some shows around the world. He is going to places in Europe and Asia where he is still welcomed. Furthermore, he has chosen some select cities around the United States, such as Tampa, Florida.

As we reported earlier today, Ye has been offering up some free tickets to the fans in Tampa. That said, the tickets officially went on sale today, and as you can imagine, there was a mad dash for a spot in the queue.

So much so that, according to Kurrco, Ye had 1 million people in the queue to cop tickets for his show, which will take place at Raymond James Stadium.

Kanye West In Tampa

Given the number of people in the queue, it is safe to say that the show has been completely sold out. It just goes to show that, despite all of the controversy surrounding Ye and his name, he is still someone that the fans want to go out and watch.

Overall, it will be interesting to see going forward if Ye is able to keep this momentum going and stay out of trouble. While his apology tour has gone off without a hitch, there is always a chance things can go off the rails at any time.

If you are in any way invested in Ye as an artist, you can’t help but wonder how long this will all last.

As spotted by All Hip Hop, Cardi B recently revealed on X that she’s currently looking to book a second leg for the tour this fall. While speaking on Spaces, she said that she’s currently fielding different offers for the tour after the first leg, which she explained provide concrete proof of how much she can gross.

“I feel like I showed how much money I could make and I could gross,” she said, adding that plenty of different promoters are hoping to secure a deal with her. “I just want to make sure I make the best decision, and the best money, and the best promotions.”

How Much Did Cardi B Spend On Her Tour? 

And that’s certainly something to expect after the grandiose production value of her first tour. She said that the tour grossed $70 million, but after expenses, including cuts to management and her agency from her $20 million advance, that number was much different. She revealed that production was $35 million, plus the money she had to spend to cover unexpected costs, such as penalties for tardiness.

“How much did I spend on production? For tour, no lie, about $35 million. No lie. How many people besides the dancers ‘cause y’all only see dancers?.. We had like about 26 buses. So, that’s just that $35 million was just what we spent in the beginning. During the tour, you’re still spending money,” she added.

However, that is not to say The Fall-Off is without its merits. It is a project that has proven to be a huge success for Cole, selling 290K units in the first week. Fans continue to go back to it, although with ICEMAN finally out, the discourse has been relentless.

Yesterday, we reported that Drake’s three new albums hit the Billboard 200. ICEMAN sold over 465K units in the first week, while the other two projects, HABIBTI and MAID OF HONOUR, sold in the 120K range. All three are in the top three this week, which is a huge achievement.

Having said that, Drake’s triple release ultimately secured a new record for Cole. Now, the North Carolina MC is the only rapper in history to have sold 200K units and debut at number one with every single album.

J. Cole On Top

Had Drake only released ICEMAN, then he and Cole would have held that record together. However, the existence of two other albums ultimately took Drizzy out of contention for the record. Regardless, this is extremely impressive, and it just goes to show what a sales darling Cole has been throughout his career.

Cole and Drake may not be on speaking terms right now, but perhaps that could change in due time. As the saying goes, time heals all wounds. Especially true when you consider how Cole never dissed Drake, only retreated.

We are excited to see what both artists are able to achieve as they continue to age and evolve as artists.

According to Jim Jones, there’s really one way to settle the score: a Verzuz battle. During Memorial Day weekend, Jones shared a post on Instagram where he continued to place the blame on Cam’ron for Dipset’s loss against The LOX five years ago. 

“Tell ya mans I wanna do a verse against him since he made us lose our last verses at the Apollo yal call Swizz lol Happy Memorial Day lol,” he posted on his Instagram page.

He elaborated further in the caption. “Let’s settle this once n for all,” he wrote. “We can do it right in Harlem we know u aint been here in a while but they still love u.”

So far, no word from Cam’ron on whether he wants to get involved in any sort of musical battle but we could imagine that he probably isn’t too interested. The two rappers have been feuding openly for over a year, and Cam’s efforts in media, with the success of shows like It Is What It Is, have clearly occupied his time more than any sort of rap battle.

Jim Jones Wants To Battle Cam’ron, But Does He Have The Catalog?

Frankly, Jim Jones has been adamant about doing Verzuz since its inception. He’s previously explained how The LOX arrived far more prepared than Dipset, while suggesting that he was far more enthusiastic about it than Cam’ron. The reality is that Jim Jones’ catalog has often been underrated by the masses, yet with plenty of mixtape cuts that have remained fixtures in his career, we shouldn’t doubt Capo. Who do you think is winning a Verzuz battle? Sound off in the comments below.
