While Drake lost to Kendrick Lamar, most fans feel as though he at least got the better of Ross. Rozay has been put in some compromising situations involving Drake, particularly during his Verzuz against French Montana, when he refused to play Drizzy’s verses on his biggest songs.

Now, fans are wondering whether or not Drake’s lyrics on “Whisper My Name” were a dig at Rick Ross. This connection had previously gone undetected. However, after being photographed flying commercial at the airport, some fans believe Ross caught some strays over his flying habits.

Rick Ross At The Airport

“If I’m lyin’, I’m flyin’ economy, give me a motherfuckin’ seat/If I’m lyin’, I’m flyin’ economy, I bet I know who I see,” Drake raps on the song. Of course, there is no telling whether or not the lyrics and the situation at hand are connected. However, Drake’s biggest supporters couldn’t help but make some jokes at Ross’ expense.

At this point, Drake has successfully polarized his audience against anyone who has ever done him wrong. Therefore, when artists like Rick Ross are spotted doing innocuous things like flying commercial, they get hammered for it.

Ultimately, it’s a unique look into the world of Stan culture and how artists are able to weaponize their fanbases. When you become as big as Drake, you are going to amass passionate fans who are willing to do and say anything on your behalf. Unfortunately, for Ross, he is learning that the hard way.

Per All Hip Hop, documents filed with the New York Supreme Court show that G-Unit Books is asking the court to dismiss several counterclaims and defenses raised by Tompkins in the ongoing contract dispute. Tompkins references the anti-SLAPP law in New York City, which ultimately works to prevent individuals from lawsuits that allegedly target protected speech. She pushed back against the lawsuit filed against her, claiming that it’s an attempt to punish her for speaking publicly on 50 Cent in interviews and online.

G-Unit Books seeks to dismiss multiple defenses and counterclaims submitted by Tompkins. Court records indicate that two of her defenses may already be off the table after she failed to respond to arguments challenging them–a move that, under New York procedural rules, can be treated as abandonment.

But in response to the anti-SLAPP laws, G-Unit’s legal team pointed to precedent from a separate New York case involving Donald Trump and his niece, Mary Trump. In that case, the judge rejected anti-SLAPP arguments after concluding that the lawsuit centered on an alleged breach of a contractual agreement rather than an effort to suppress speech. G-Unit’s lawyers contend that the same reasoning applies here.

What Is The Lawsuit Involving 50 Cent About?

The lawsuit stems from an agreement signed in 2007, when Tompkins transferred rights related to her personal story to G-Unit Books in exchange for compensation. Tompkins has maintained that she entered the deal under financial and personal pressure, while G-Unit alleges that her later public comments and media appearances diminished the value of the rights it acquired.

Overall, these were big moments for the artist, and they were even bigger moments for the streamers involved. As it turns out, the artist is interested in keeping the good times rolling. ICEMAN has proven to be a massive success, and it only makes sense for Drake to become just a bit more visible.

According to DDG, that is exactly what the artist is planning on doing. During a recent stream, the controversial artist and streamer let it slip that Drake is planning on attending Kai Cenat’s Streamer University.

Drake x Kai Cenat

Just yesterday, we revealed that Kai Cenat would be returning to the streaming world. It had been months since Kai went live. However, that is about to change as the second iteration of Streamer University is upon us.

As DDG describes, Drake could very well be attending. Given his stature, Drake should be one of the teachers. That said, DDG also revealed that the Canadian megastar is interested in doing an “in real life” stream.

Overall, this is great news for Kai Cenat, who will certainly get a huge boost if Drake ends up on his stream. After all, Cenat’s return to the streaming world has been highly anticipated. Some felt like he might quit streaming for good.

If the Streamer University sequel is anything like the first one, then it will be a massive success.

Frankly, the staying power of some of Lil Baby’s latest releases is primarily what Akademiks has taken issue with, along with street politics. Every so often, Lil Baby drops off new music or previews a new song that doesn’t really sound that compelling in the first place. Most recently, he was spotted filming a music video for an upcoming song where he seemingly disses Akademiks.

“Fuck Akademiks, that n***a the feds,” Lil Baby raps. That isn’t a particularly new claim against Ak, but it’s one the media personality found ironic, given the drama surrounding the rapper’s affiliates in Atlanta.

“Half of Atlanta rappers documented on audio tape telling to cops including half the n***as he still call ‘TWIN’ … is this n***a stupid … if I’m the Feds… young thug the lieutenant I report to him,” Akademiks said in response.

Atlanta Sides With Akademiks?

Apparently, after Akademiks went off on Lil Baby, he got calls from “every Atlanta rapper” who he claims agreed with him. “Every rapper called me yesterday. Every Atlanta rapper. ‘Yo, Ak, yo, it’s just you and Baby, don’t go against the whole city. We love you now,’” Akademiks said. “They told me to chill out with the Atlanta stuff, but they said f*ck Baby. They all said f*ck Baby. They said, ‘No, you’re saying the truth, just don’t make it a full Atlanta thing.’”

Do you believe Akademiks? Do you think Atlanta is turning against Lil Baby? Let us know in the comment section below.

The alleged incident took place back in 2023. Griffith also accused Diggs of having him jumped. Since that time, Diggs has denied the allegations against him. Furthermore, he has sued Griffith for defamation, claiming that these allegations were made as a means of harming his reputation.

Throughout this case, there have been a few discovery disputes, and according to TMZ, Diggs has come out on the losing side. For instance, Griffith had previously asked Diggs to describe the nature of their relationship. Diggs simply said that they are acquaintances, although the judge is ordering Diggs to divulge more.

Stefon Diggs’ Case Against Christopher Blake Griffith

Diggs is also going to have to provide information on the guests who visited his home in Rockville, Maryland, during the month of May 2023. That said, it’s not all bad for Diggs right now. It was ruled that questions about possession or distribution of controlled substances can remain unanswered.

The judge’s orders were implemented on June 3, and Diggs was given 14 days to provide the correct information. This means the NFL star will have until June 17 to respond.

In the meantime, Diggs continues to look for another job in the NFL. He has yet to be signed throughout free agency, although some believe the Washington Commanders will be his final destination.

According to PEOPLE, the jury found Anthony guilty of murder after a three-hour deliberation. Furthermore, Anthony was sentenced to 35 years in prison.

This decision has sparked widespread outrage. Many feel as though the outcome is unfair, especially when you consider how Kyle Rittenhouse and George Zimmerman were acquitted of their charges while using the same defense. Ultimately, the controversial jury concluded that Anthony provoked the altercation, and therefore, self-defense could not be used as a justification.

Cardi B was upset with the decision and took to X to voice her displeasure.

Cardi B On Karmelo Anthony

“Wow! Just freakin wow! DISGUSTING… This is not justice, this is trying to make an example!!!” she wrote. It was a strong statement that echoes the sentiments of others who followed the case from beginning to end.

Ultimately, Anthony received no leniency in this case, and some feel that the racial makeup of the jury could have played a role in that.

Following Anthony’s sentencing, Austin Metcalf’s mother, Meghan, addressed the young man, saying, “You may have just been given a sentence of 35 years; you should feel lucky because I’ve been sentenced to a life without my son.”

Metcalf’s twin brother Hunter also spoke to Anthony. “Now I want everything taken from you,” Hunter Metcalf remarked. “You took everything from me. I wake up every morning and his door is still shut.”

This isn’t much of a surprise, considering that LeBron James was memefied earlier this year for carrying a vinyl of The Fall-Off as he arrived at the Kaseya Center for a matchup against the Miami Heat. Cole revealed in an interview with Carmelo Anthony that he brought his sons to that game, but LeBron brought his vinyl of the album to get it signed.

“On his way, he had The Fall-Off vinyl — he brought it so I could sign it,” he said. “My oldest [is] getting into basketball, Bron is his No. 1, and I hit Bron, and he graciously said he would do it.”

Is LeBron James Listening To ICEMAN?

Although we could all consider this to be a rather innocuous answer, it does come on the heels of Drake’s new albums, ICEMAN, and its accompanying projects, Habibti and Maid Of Honour. ICEMAN, of course, contains a few shots at LeBron related to their supposed fall-out post-Pop Out. LeBron’s appreciation for Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” and the videos of him dancing along to the song in various places, including the Summer Olympics, evidently soured his stance with Drake.

On “Make Them Remember,” Drake appears to address their issues, rapping, “Please stop asking what’s going on with 23 and me, I’m a real n***a, and he’s not.” So far, we haven’t heard anything from LeBron regarding those lyrics.

Over the past three weeks, ICEMAN has remained at the top of the Billboard 200. It sold 465K units in its first week, before selling 235K in the second week. He then followed this up with 174K in the third week. This is a seriously impressive showing, especially when you consider how albums seem to drop off fast these days.

ICEMAN is now going into its fourth week on the charts, and it appears as though the album is set to sustain its success. According to Kurrco, the project will remain at number one on the Billboard 200. Furthermore, the project will sell upwards of 137K units.

Drake’s ICEMAN Continues To Thrive

In addition to all of this, Drake currently has two songs in the Billboard Hot 100’s Top 10. Those songs are “Janice STFU,” which previously spent two weeks at number one. Moreover, he also has “Shabang,” which has been a viral hit thanks to the unique flow and production that adorn the track.

In the eyes of Drake fans, and even some of his haters, this album has proven to be a return to form. Throughout the project, the artist delivers bar-heavy testimonials as well as melodic hits that prove Drake still has the range necessary to be rap’s top dog.

Of course, he still has his detractors, and that will never change. But for now, it is impossible to deny the impact this album is having.
