Papoose Gets Claressa Shields’ Name Tattooed On His Arm

Gabriel Bras Nevares — Sat, 15 Aug 2026 21:53:43 +0000

Papoose can’t get enough of his boo Claressa Shields, even if their proclamations of love for one another often get some clowning on social media. There are a lot of factors to this, whether it’s people just hating on a flashy couple or Remy Ma fans invested in the relationship drama. Either way, Pap’s latest move shows he isn’t shy about making that love very clear, as he will now carry Shields’ name everywhere he goes.

He posted a video on Instagram soundtracked by Ed Sheeran’s “Thinking Out Loud” of him getting a tattoo of “Claressa” on his left bicep. “Salute to @Kwon.doe for bringing this amazing art to life. @claressashields #papoose #tattoo #ínklífe,” the caption read. The video also showed the rapper taking a picture of his new ink, presumably to send to his partner.

Claressa Shields is gearing up for a fight tonight (Saturday, August 15), so she’s probably too busy to respond to this right now. At press time, she hasn’t reposted this on IG, but we’re sure it will be solid fuel for her rapidly approaching matchup.

What Time Is Claressa Shields’ Fight Tonight?

A post shared by Papoose (@papoose)

Shields will face off against Kaye Scott tonight for the WBA and WBC unified middleweight world championship at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. DAZN will livestream the event, with the main card beginning at 8PM EST. Folks expect main event ring walks to begin at around 11:30PM EST.

Claressa has her boo’s full support, whether in terms of energy or physical presence. Many folks reacted to this tattoo news by bringing up his tattoo of Remy. Amid Remy Ma’s ongoing divorce process with Papoose, folks are taking every little piece of drama they can get.

Speaking of which, Remy Ma may have dissed Papoose and Claressa Shields on her new song “Wanna Go.” It has lyrical references to “hand-me-downs” and a possible reference to the derogatory “Clarence” nickname Shields has gotten.

In any case, this couple knows all too well that love and hate their way only means more engagement. So as long as they support each other, they can continue to deal with scrutiny against their partnership.

Jaden Newman & Her Dad Link Up With Adam22 After Sex Tape Leak

Gabriel Bras Nevares — Sat, 15 Aug 2026 21:15:00 +0000

Jaden Newman has been going viral this month due to a sex tape leak that had the Internet buzzing for a time. The former basketball prodigy and her older brother, Julian, even stoked the flames by talking about the situation with Adam22 on his No Jumper platform. Now, it seems like more of the family is getting in on the viral moment, as Jaden and Adam recently uploaded a video to social media with Newman’s father, Jamie.

As caught by FearBuck on Twitter, it seems like the trio did a trend with a viral audio for social media. In the clip, Jaden “asked” Adam for a follow-back on Instagram, to which he “replied” with “I don’t run it.” Then, Jamie appeared in the video to “say” his piece: “What’s Jaden doing getting a picture with Melo? Fraternizing with the enemy. Come on, man. It’s prodigy brand over here. Forget that, B.”

This audio is from 2019, specifically from the Newman family’s web series Hello Newmans. The original moment saw Jaden take a picture with LaMelo Ball after he played against her brother.

It was a bizarre thing to witness with the context of Jaden’s leaks, and folks online responded as such. “Fame is such a devilish drug. Willing you sell your child for a lil attention,” one Twitter user wrote, with another adding, “So is the whole family pimpin on her?”

During the Newman siblings’ conversation with Adam22 on No Jumper, Jaden reflected on the privacy invasion, but said she decided to make the most out of the situation after talking to her parents. As for Julian, he said he tried to convince her sister to make an OnlyFans when she was 18, which is very odd to hear from a brother.

Elsewhere, Julian Newman predicted his sister Jaden’s fame, going so far as to call her the next Kim Kardashian. Sadly, leaks like these have been frequent in 2026, and they are always disheartening to see. But the victims of these leaks often have a choice: let the viral drama wash over, or take advantage of the attention for engagement.

Diddy Accuses Lil Rod Of Hiring Sex Workers & Taking Drugs On His Own

Gabriel Bras Nevares — Sat, 15 Aug 2026 20:41:19 +0000

Diddy has dealt with a whirlwind of legal trouble over the past few years, and it doesn’t seem like things will get any easier. During his prison stay for his federal convictions of transporting prostitutes across state lines, he’s countersuing Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, who accused Sean Combs of sexual assault.

According to an exclusive AllHipHop report from Grouchy Greg Watkins, Combs’ legal team filed counterclaims on Tuesday (August 11) in Lil Rod’s $30 million case. Via his lawyers, he denied Jones’ claims in the 50 Cent-executive-produced The Recknoning doc, in which he claimed the Bad Boy mogul ordered him to procure sex workers.

“Mr. Combs never told Mr. Jones to ‘recruit sex workers,'” the defense team reportedly argued. “Mr. Combs never told Mr. Jones to put on his ‘Bad Boy hat’ and ‘get some girls to come back to the house.’ Upon information and belief, Mr. Jones had a personal proclivity for sleeping with sex workers and would hire sex workers for himself on his own accord.”

Also, Diddy’s counterclaims against Lil Rod dispute Rod’s claim that Combs drugged him during the making of The Love Album: Off The Grid. They argued “upon information and belief” that Rod took drugs and alcohol of his own accord, and that their client never forced him to do anything.

Lil Rod’s claims against Puff, the lawsuit over which has been active since February of 2024, also include sexual assault allegations. Combs is now suing Rod for defamation, but he no longer has to answer to RICO-related accusations in Rod’s lawsuit which the court had severed.

Lil Rod hasn’t publicly responded to these counterclaims at press time. Unless Judge J. Paul Oetken changes anything, Rod will have 21 days after service to respond, if the general rules of federal procedure apply.

Other lawsuits Diddy must deal with include coercion and trafficking claims from alleged sex worker Clayton Howard. Cassie was previously a part of that suit, but Howard may possibly have to exclude his claims about her unless he sharpens them. But with Combs behind bars, the response process for these is lengthy.

Chris Brown Challenges $13M Dog Attack Verdict Due To Rihanna Reference In Court

Gabriel Bras Nevares — Sat, 15 Aug 2026 20:05:47 +0000

Chris Brown is dealing with a hefty legal challenge amid his “R&B” tour, and he won’t be backing down from it until a court says otherwise. He and his legal team continue to challenge a $12.9 million judgement against him for his dog attacking his former housekeeper Maria Avila back in 2020. While the specific nature of this challenge wasn’t specifically clear previously, Brown’s lawyers reportedly accused Avila’s lawyer of tainting the jury by bringing Rihanna and his assault of her to light during the trial.

According to court documents reviewed by Complex, the defense team filed a motion on Monday (August 10) to overturn the verdict and form a new trial with a different jury. At the center of the motion is a question during cross-examination in court from the housekeeper’s attorney, who asked Breezy if he was a person with a history of felony convictions.

He said he was, referencing his guilty plea to felony assault against Rihanna back in 2009. The singer’s lawyers claimed the question was “inherently inflammatory” and tainted the jury, arguing the court did not mitigate any potential prejudicial impact in the face of harder evidence.

“Mr. Brown’s conduct in an unrelated domestic-violence matter 17 years prior had no bearing on Plaintiffs’ alleged injuries, causation or damages,” the lawyers reportedly wrote in the filing. “The jury was affirmatively told that the conviction could be used to determine whether Mr. Brown was believable. Thus… it was expressly authorized to discount Mr. Brown’s testimony based upon a 17-year-old crime of violence having no direct relationship to honesty or veracity.”

This follows his legal team’s attempts to exclude mention of the conviction before trial. In California, evidence rules allow for felony convictions to be relevant for impeachment, but a court must meet a middle ground separating prejudice from proof.

Avila’s attorney Nancy Doumanian responded to this challenge in an interview with Billboard. “You can’t hit the reset button every time a jury holds you accountable,” she reportedly stated. “The evidence was overwhelming, the jury got it right, and we’re confident this motion will meet the same fate as the defense did at trial.”

NLE Choppa Disses Pooh Shiesty & NBA YoungBoy After Pooh’s Alleged Insults

Gabriel Bras Nevares — Sat, 15 Aug 2026 18:15:01 +0000

NLE Choppa is trying to focus on his personal journey after getting baptized, but rap feuds and old wounds continue to get in the way. He recently dissed Pooh Shiesty after Pooh’s alleged leaked call calling him “gay,” and also had shots for NBA YoungBoy to follow up on their long-running feud.

NLE recently gave a freestyle on Power 106 Los Angeles which included some bars about someone pillow-talking. In a subsequent Instagram Story post, the Memphis MC made it clear those bars were aimed at Shiesty.

“@poohshiesty showed way too much love to you for you to be pillow talking on my name TO A FEMALE,” he wrote, as caught by DJ Akademiks on Instagram. “Imma show you how to be direct homie. Free you tho tell [Big] 30 hit me up.”

Pooh had said, “On God, that n***a gay,” and laughed at Choppa in the alleged leaked call. NLE Choppa’s shown love to Pooh Shiesty before, so this came as a surprise to him. In an IG post caught by XXL on Instagram, Choppa called Shiesty out again and claimed he and YB have copied his style over the years.

“IM HYMM, The one they wanna be, the one they copy,” he wrote. “N***as ain’t have a Momager & Popager til I came on the scene. Shiesty That Chain Look real close to mine, YB ran off my camo aesthetic after I sent it to em. I’m the reason these boys of this generation wanna own they masters. ‘I wanna NLE CHOPPA DEAL.’ 16 I was 10Ms up first car was a Cullinan truck while yall was riding hemis & scats nshii man do yo homework on my influence.

NLE Choppa’s dynamic with Pooh Shiesty is particularly interesting because the mother of Choppa’s child, Marissa Da’Nae, is allegedly expecting a child with Shiesty. But this hasn’t seen any official confirmation at press time.

As for NLE Choppa’s beef with NBA YoungBoy, the two used to be collaborators before their dynamic went sour in recent years. We’ll see if there are any responses here or if this call-out goes by without a peep out of its targets.

Blueface & Chrisean Rock Blast Each Other While Breaking Up Again

Gabriel Bras Nevares — Sat, 15 Aug 2026 17:46:05 +0000

Blueface and Chrisean Rock recently went out for a shopping spree, baseball game with their son, and dinner date after reconciling their differences. But that didn’t last very long, which did not surprise folks who have been following their relationship turbulence for years now.

As caught by Livebitez on Instagram, the coparents got into a heated argument at a restaurant during a livestream. The rapper was trying to get the boxer to end her stream, and she said he had to calm down. “I done let you play around all day,” Blue remarked, saying she socked him in the face earlier in the day. He then told her to get out and go home, telling her, “The door is that way. No h*e is bigger than the program. Sayonara. We had a good time. I’ll see you next time.”

In a clip from later in the day, Blueface scolded Chrisean Rock for reciprocating the money he spent on her in ways he found insufficient or inappropriate. Chrisean teased him for crying, saying she appreciated his expenses and that he acts like he has a vagina. Blue and his driver then drove off, leaving her on the street.

“I’ll see you later… Manly-a** b***h,” the California MC remarked. “B***h is a grown-a** man.”

As caught by keeno on Twitter, Chrisean called him after he drove off, and he claimed she has a “plot” while she denied that notion. Blue said Rock has “bad customer service” and said she was “dismissed.” She apologized and said she has no ill intent. But the situation devolved into more insults from one to the other.

Things got HEATED between Chrisean Rock and Blueface while they were on a call, as an argument over boundaries quickly escalated into INSULTS and threats.

“Then I will beat the f**k out of you like you a bitch, nigga.”

For those unaware, Chrisean Rock’s dynamic with Blueface is under fire from his pregnant partner, Nevaeh Akira. She recently called Rock a “baby disabler” and has recently clashed with Blue for his time spent with Chrisean.

Blue and Rock have been together since around 2020. Most of their time in the public eye consists of relationship drama and family conflicts, whether it’s over Chrisean Jr.’s parentage or the lyricist’s other partners. At this point, fans wouldn’t be surprised if they pop out tonight like nothing happened.

Joe Budden Wants Drake To Drop A Jay-Z Diss Track

Gabriel Bras Nevares — Sat, 15 Aug 2026 17:20:52 +0000

Drake has been exchanging disses and jabs with former collaborator Jay-Z all throughout 2026, although nothing has escalated into a full-on battle just yet. That’s because there aren’t any super direct tracks, callouts, or name-drops yet. Joe Budden is one of many fans who wants Drizzy to take the first swing at Hov to settle all this.

Budden debated about this with his cohosts on his self-titled podcast. During their most recent episode, they talked about a potential new Jay-Z album and other things fans expect from this era.

Marc Lamont Hill was talking about Jay’s commercial dominance before Joe chimed in. “Drake, bait him. Come on. Let’s have some fun,” he remarked, as caught by CY Chels on Twitter. “Get him… It’s fake tug of war where the other team give a strong tug in the front. But now it’s a little tussle. No clear winner yet. You want to show n***as you tough?”

The Slaughterhouse MC referenced Drake’s “pen isn’t dry” comments during his recent livestream, positing it was against Rick Ross. However, he said the Hov album rumors indicate the comments are more about being ready to rap at any moment.

Joe Budden CHALLENGES Drake to stop subliminally circling Jay-Z and finally make the battle DIRECT

Joe says if Drake really means “the pen isn’t dry,” then he should “take the bait,” get on the hardest beat possible and throw the first real punch at Hov.

— CY Chels (@SeewhyChels) August 15, 2026

“If you want to get to talking tough about ‘the pen isn’t dry,’ take the bait,” Budden added. “Jump out there… Fire on that senior citizen. Kendrick [Lamar] and Drake was years ago. Now, let’s turn it up. Get him out that cubby hole… Enough of that ‘wrong chart, champ.’ Who the f**k he think he talking to, Aubrey? […] We barking at h*es. Let’s bark at some n***as, too…”

Ice brought up Drake’s previous shots at Jay-Z and how there’s a lot of history here, but Joe thinks they mostly ran in circles around each other. “Swing. A real swing. Throw a punch,” he added. The JBP asked for “the hardest beat we’ve ever heard in our life” on a new timestamp track dissing Jay.

Then, the cohosts debated about whether or not other rappers would salute Drizzy’s efforts. But some believe it would be impossible to “kill” Hov. We’ll have to wait to find out what goes down…

#nohardfeelings – Song by Millkzy

Gabriel Bras Nevares — Sat, 15 Aug 2026 16:41:53 +0000

St. Louis-born, Dallas-based artist Millkzy has been making waves in the R&B world for a while now, and he has a knack for tender but affecting songwriting. His new song “#nohardfeelings” embodies this very well, and it’s a minimal but still impactful cut. A simple acoustic guitar leads the way along with the Missouri native’s soulful and beautifully calm vocals, and some atmospheric pads, electric chords, and vocal samples fill out the rest. Millkzy creates a great sense of distance and yearning on this song, fitting the lyrical themes of romantic fallout. If we’re in luck, we will get more soft and compelling cuts from him in the near future.

Release Date: August 14, 2026

Genre: R&B

Album: N/A

Quotable Lyrics from #nohardfeelings

And what would be the difference if you would change?
It wasn’t just the distance that lost your smile,
And I know,
That you can’t find this loving elsewhere

Wanna Go – Song by Remy Ma

Gabriel Bras Nevares — Sat, 15 Aug 2026 16:27:48 +0000

Remy Ma is back with a new single “Wanna Go,” which has Crime Mob fans going wild. The new song samples their iconic “Knuck If You Buck” hit, and Remy flows simply but effectively over the instrumental. However, the record is also getting attention due to some potential disses at Claressa Shields and Papoose. She even seemed to troll the boxer by using a clip of her praising “Knuck If You Buck” to promote this new single. Drama aside, it’s a fun and simple cut with a confident performance from Remy Ma. Hopefully she has even more heat on the way, as she clearly still has more creativity and passion to share.

Release Date: August 14, 2026

Genre: Hip-Hop

Album: N/A

Quotable Lyrics from Wanna Go

Real from the get-go, s**t, I’m as real as it gets, h*e,
All of my DMs talking about, “Hey, sis, where did you get those?”
Watching my page, waiting to see what a b***h got,
I just be like, “B***h, stop, keep shopping on TikTok”

Goin Down – Song by Rakim, Kurupt & Masta Killa with Kokane

Gabriel Bras Nevares — Sat, 15 Aug 2026 16:16:27 +0000

The East Coast and West Coast are colliding on the new Rakim, Kurupt, and Masta Killa song “Goin Down,” which also features Kokane. It’s the latest single from the trio’s forthcoming The Godbody LP, which is set to come out on September 18. Unsurprisingly, it features all MCs in great form, tackling a simple vocal sample flip with fun chimes and synths. Although they aren’t as great as they were in their prime, they still show off more skill than most. Also, the free-form structure of their verses clashing with each other makes for a no-frills experience for the most part.

Release Date: August 14, 2026

Genre: Hip-Hop

Album: The Godbody (expected September 18)
