The thing about Fif is that the music he releases often arrives as a packaged deal with his other efforts. And his upcoming record will be one attached to the Street Fighter movie releasing in October 16th. What’s even more interesting is that he’ll be linking up with Eminem for the song, which includes posthumous vocals from one of hip-hop’s most cherished figures.

“I got some new music that I’m working on. I did something, me, Eminem and Tupac,” he said. When asked if he would be using AI for Tupac’s part of the record, Fif revealed that Tupac’s Estate helped them out. “They delivered. Actually, it’s for the theme for Street Fighter, the movie. We worked on it and got it right,” he added, revealing that the song will be released shortly.

50 Cent Reveals New Collaboration 

So far, that’s all the information he has to offer but it is pretty significant. Hopefully, it’s an unreleased verse that lands on the song and not a re-work of something his estate already released. However, there is relief to know that there’s no artificial intelligence being used to assist with Tupac’s vocals. Didn’t work out too well for the last person who tried to recreate Tupac’s energy with AI. 

We will keep you posted on any further updates surrounding 50 Cent and his upcoming collaboration with Tupac and Eminem. For now, check out the interview clip above and sound off in the comments with your thoughts.

The question appears at around the 1:17-minute mark of the YouTube video below. The Compton MC did not specifically name Drakeo, but spoke on dealing with these allegations almost five years after The Ruler’s tragic passing and why he wanted to address them now.

“Just too much talk on the Internet,” he responded. “Too many motherf***ers hitting me, ‘Is you alright?’ Kids, ‘Dad, are you going to jail?’ All that type of s**t. I’m just being silent and living by the law and rules, s**t from the streets. I’ma speak on this, but I’ma still stand on the law and the rules of this s**t. I think it’s time for me to speak my piece.”

YG Detained

For those unaware, YG was recently detained while the California Highway Patrol and a SWAT team executed a search warrant on a property linked to him. The warrant connected to Drakeo The Ruler’s stabbing death in 2021. The CHP confirmed the rapper was not arrested and was let go after the brief detainment, and it’s unclear if authorities found anything, why they executed this warrant, or what they hoped to find.

In the past, he continually denied having anything to do with Drakeo’s murder. The two artists had beef at the time, and both were at a festival to perform. That’s where The Ruler met his tragic demise, and rumors have followed YG around ever since.

We will see how the actual murder investigation develops and if he finds himself in the middle of it once again. For now, though, no further updates have emerged concerning the case.

Elsewhere, YG spoke about the discourse surrounding his song “TIFFANY,” as well as a variety of Los Angeles-related topics. He also refused to answer questions about Drake, which many fans found curious.

As caught by Kurrco on Twitter, a journalist followed up by asking him for a reaction to Drizzy name-dropping him on ICEMAN‘s “2 Hard 4 The Radio.” “Mustard heard about us, got to catch up to the slaps / You ain’t had one since me and YG rapped,” he rapped on the cut, dissing the “Not Like Us” producer and evoking the 2014 hit “Who Do You Love?”

YG didn’t say much, but the journalist asked when was the last time he talked to the Toronto superstar. “Damn, bro, you got all the Drake questions,” he replied. “You can save that s**t for the Drake press conference. Y’all motherf***ers trying to go viral and s**t with y’all questions, huh? I’m finna walk out this motherf***er soon.”

Do YG & Drake Have Beef?

For those unaware, YG and Drake have never had explicit beef, as they have collaborated in the past and the former pulled up to the latter’s concert a few years ago. But of course, all the West Coast tension stemming from the K.Dot feud seems to have drawn a line in the sand.

Also, YG is still close with Mustard, who produced “Not Like Us.” So while there isn’t anything directly between these two artists, there’s no denying the atmosphere is tense.

Whether or not they will eventually reunite or fully go against each other is a mystery. But this “Press Konference” shows the L.A. MC is not interested in the narratives, even if the refusal is an answer in and of itself.

Elsewhere during this event, YG spoke on the Drakeo The Ruler beef and some other topics. With a lot of momentum behind him right now, we can only expect more statements and reflections to come.

However, one person who wasn’t necessarily choosing his home turf is The Game. Despite his tight-knit relationship with Kendrick Lamar, the love he has for Drake isn’t tied to his loyalty to the West. During his Verzuz battle against YG, The Game made it known when he performed “100.”

“Shout out to the boy,” he said. “I don’t give a fuck how a n***a feel about it.”

Of course, Drake first gave The Game a shout out during their beef on “Family Matters,” alongside YG and Chris Brown. “You know who really bangs a set? My n***a Chuck T,” he raps on the song. So far, we haven’t seen Drake acknowledge the shout-out.

What’s interesting is that “100” wasn’t the only song where Drake’s vocals were heard. Despite showing out at the Pop-Out, YG performed the song “Who Do You Love?”

The Game Vs. YG

The night proved to be a celebration of Los Angeles culture. The two rappers came through with their hit records, with YG coming out on top in their Verzuz, which probably took a lot of people by surprise considering that The Game has a storied career that dates back to the early 2000s. Nonetheless, it was a moment that celebrated the legacy of two artists who have defined the Los Angeles sound this century.

A New York court sentenced Songz to one year of conditional discharge for a non-criminal violation entailing second-degree harassment. He allegedly punched a man at the Times Square club DRAMMA, which authorities arrested him for back in December. That arrest also entailed a felony count of criminal mischief. But the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office dropped that count, as Trey’s lawyer Mitchell Schuster argued other aggressors, not his client, were responsible for destroying over $1,500 worth of hookahs, DJ equipment, and sofas at the hookah lounge Mira.

As for the DRAMMA incident, the singer faced charges of harassment and misdemeanor attempted assault, which he initially pleaded guilty to in April. However, following mental health treatment and his compliance with court-ordered rules, the court allowed him to withdraw the assault plea and only face a non-criminal harassment conviction.

“We are very pleased with this resolution,” Songz’s attorney reportedly stated. He will not face any jail time or probation, unless he gets into legal trouble within the next year.

Trey Songz Lawsuit

Elsewhere, though, Trey Songz is launching legal battles, not just responding to them. Back in January, he sued the Kansas City Police Department for wrongfully arresting him following an altercation at the AFC Championship game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Buffalo Bills. Police dropped their charges against Songz, involving resisting arrest and attacking an officer. But he claimed they “physically assaulted, wrongfully arrested, handcuffed and detained” him before that development.

Trey Songz’s controversies continue to follow him, whether they relate to his everyday life or his relationships. Some of these situations spent years in court or are still waiting for a resolution. But when it comes to this alleged New York City fight, it seems like everything smoothed out relatively quickly. We’ll see if he has anything to say about the sentence and this ordeal.

Per Kurrco, Ye now holds the record for the highest-grossing concert by a rapper in history. This comes after each of his SoFi Stadium concerts grossed $16.3 million. Each of the two concerts sold 74,389 tickets. That alone broke SoFi Stadium’s concert gross record. However, it also made Ye the first rapper to surpass 70K tickets and $16M from one show in the U.S. Regardless of how you feel about him, it’s a pretty extraordinary feat that contextualizes his significance in music and culture, despite his actions and comments.

Ye’s continued to perform across the U.S and the globe over the past few months, and it’s proven to be incredibly successful, even without mass support from the media. In Istanbul, he declared that he had the largest stadium show of all time, drawing in 118K audience members. And with show dates lined up in the U.S. now, it feels like we’ll probably hear more records being broken in the future.

Kanye West’s New Certifications

Outside of that, Ye has continued to rack up some impressive feats as of late. Most recently, he became the artist with the most amount of gold and platinum songs. The RIAA just certified 68 records and helped him add another new record to his belt.

With the release of Bully earlier this year, fans are wondering what happens next for him. He’s stated that he isn’t working on a new album currently, but fans got a deluxe edition of the album recently. We’ll keep you posted on further updates.

Attorney Blair Berk reportedly questioned criminalist Lauren Wallace during the hearing, specifically asking about two chainsaws authorities found at the singer’s home. Authorities allegedly found his DNA on a bag that contained cleaning wipes with the teenager’s blood. Wallace had testified before about possible blood evidence in the New York-born artist’s garage.

She said they didn’t swab the chainsaws for DNA because blood testing came back negative, and that they didn’t test for his DNA in the house since his profile would be all over. Berk countered by claiming multiple people lived in the home, not just the celebrity. Wallace said she knew this and testified that authorities found jugs of fake blood he was using for merch. A judge will now determine if there is enough evidence here for this to fully go to trial.

D4vd Case Updates

Criminalist Samantha Tosch spoke more about the bag that forms part of evidence, which authorities found during a September 2025 search. She testified that other suspected blood evidence from the garage matched Rivas’ DNA profile, along with blood evidence in the compartment of a Tesla that was separate to the vehicle’s trunk which housed her deceased body.

Tosch also clarified that DNA can transfer to an object without the person touching it. D4vd’s lawyer also downplayed the DNA findings, claiming they only indicate the probability of DNA belonging to someone rather than outright proving it.

This joins other revelations during the D4vd case, including his alleged placement of air fresheners in his Tesla to mask the smell of Celeste Rivas’ body. D4vd’s former friends have also made claims about the case, claiming he lied to them about Rivas’ age and the nature of their alleged relationship. Soon, we will see if this case fully goes to trial or if it hangs in limbo.

In the dump, Drizzy included a picture of him posing in front of various banners commemorating his commercial achievements. These include his records for most Billboard Hot 100 entries, most number one albums by rappers, most Top 10 hits, his 431 consecutive weeks on the Hot 100, his single-week record 42 songs on the Hot 100 chart, most number one singles by a male soloist, most number one debuts, and more. Other pics feature Sexyy Red, Kevin Durant, and other famous friends, along with some solo snapshots.

In the caption, the 6ix God seemed to reference the turbulence of the past two years. “I spent the last 24 months proving myself right, Of course I’m about to have the summer of my life,” he wrote. “Spent amounts on you that make my accountant roll his eyes, Just for you to show me how you really roll when it’s go time. I clearly have a type, And I clearly only learn the lesson when the teacher is fine.”

Drake & LeBron James Beef

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by champagnepapi (@champagnepapi)

Drake’s reflections on the Kendrick Lamar battle and its fallout are nothing new. They emerged pretty much immediately following the beef, and continue to dominate his public presence. This is thanks to not just fresh ICEMAN disses, but also the UMG “Not Like Us” lawsuit in appeal and various feuds with a lot of other celebrities and media entities.

Whether or not The Boy is “right” or “proved himself” as such is a question for a fan debate. But with so much success behind him, it’s not a far-fetched idea at all.

Meanwhile, Drake’s NOCTA Manor outing addressed some of this beef. He dissed his former friend LeBron James via a new shirt fans spotted at the event. The friendship broke down due to LeBron showing love to Kendrick amid the feud. We’ll see if the Toronto superstar keeps proving himself right.
