Keke Wyatt Arrested For Alleged Terroristic Threats & Child Cruelty

Gabriel Bras Nevares — Fri, 25 Sep 2026 15:41:54 +0000

Keke Wyatt rose to fame in the early 2000s as an R&B singer and songwriter, later moving into reality television programs and other entertainment endeavors. But her name is popping up again due to more serious matters unrelated to her music career.

According to TMZ, law enforcement authorities in Georgia arrested Wyatt on September 20, according to the Henry County Sheriff’s Office. They relayed that police booked her into the Henry County Jail and released her two days later after she posted a $1,050 bond.

As for why the Indianapolis native went to prison, it was reportedly over three charges or offenses: terroristic threats, simple assault, and cruelty to children. However, it seems like there are no details available at press time regarding what happened that led to this arrest. As such, the actual context of the offenses and the timeline for how the arrest went down remains a mystery.

We will see if she responds to this in any way, as it’s been a few days since the reported bond and folks are just now reacting to the sudden news. Some Internet users immediately speculated on what could’ve happened, with some pointing to Keke Wyatt’s reality TV history and others just confused about the whole thing.

Some other reports have emerged that make the reported charges more specific, such as terroristic threats and acts, aggravated assault, and third-degree cruelty to children. The Neighborhood Talk reported via Instagram that the child cruelty misdemeanor charge involves a child witnessing an alleged incident. The publication also referenced an earlier second-degree assault charge in 2002 for allegedly stabbing her then-husband and manager, Rahmat Morton. Wyatt claimed self-defense and accused Morton of domestic abuse. The court later dismissed the case.

Keke Wyatt is no stranger to drama, as she caught a lot of backlash for blasting Black people complaining about racial struggles and discrimination back in 2021. Also, fans have speculated for years about her numerous children and about her family conflicts with her former partners. But all of that doesn’t connect in any way to this arrest at press time.

Folks will have to wait for more details to find out what led to this legal situation. There haven’t been any reports or indications of what’s next.

Mal Claims J. Cole’s Dreamville Crew Doesn’t Like Him

Gabriel Bras Nevares — Fri, 25 Sep 2026 15:03:17 +0000

The New Rory & Mal podcast had a few conflicts to get into this week, as Rory had pressed QueenzFlip and later admitted how he probably read that situation wrong. However, amid this discussion caught by CY Chels on Twitter, Jamil “Mal” Clay spoke on running into people that he knows have issues with him. He claimed he recently ran into the Dreamville crew and its president and cofounder Ibrahim “Ib” Hamad in Los Angeles a couple of weeks ago. The commentator and podcaster claimed they seemed angry at him and they didn’t engage, which is probably due to his comments about J. Cole.

“This is the first time I ever felt bad about something I said,” he remarked. “[That’s] somebody who I’ve always had a pleasant rapport with. This was the first time we’ve ever seen each other, and never said ‘What’s up?’ to each other. And that’s the only thing that I’m like, ‘Damn.’ As a man, I stand by everything I ever said. I stand by it all… But I felt bad.

“‘Cause I’m like, ‘Damn, homie, but I wasn’t trying to disrespect you. I wasn’t trying to disrespect your man,'” Mal continued. “But y’all just know how I give it up… I don’t ever want me and this man to feel like we not cool. ‘Cause I think Ib is a cool-a** n***a… I felt bad that, for the first time, I saw Ib out in public and we didn’t say a word to each other. We looked right at each other. I understand it, I get it. But as a man, I got to disengage that. Because, as men, we know where that could go.”

Mal’s J. Cole Comments

Mal says he recently crossed paths with J. Cole’s manager Ib and the Dreamville crew in LA and for the first time since the beef, Ib looked right at him and didn’t say a word

“This was the first time we’ve ever seen each other and never said what’s up to each other.”

For those unaware, Mal had called J. Cole’s “Love Yourz” rendition “performative,” specifically an Ohio show at which the Dreamville MC cried during the performance. The reason why Cole was emotional was because the family of a cancer patient he met through the Make-A-Wish Foundation in 2017 was present. Mal later apologized for this J. Cole criticism.

Elsewhere, he had praise for Cole’s “The Fall-Off” tour following years of criticism over the Kendrick Lamar and Drake battle. Hopefully Mal and Dreamville can reach an understanding after this debacle.

OTF Jam & Memo600 Trade Shots Over Snitching & OTF Loyalties

Gabriel Bras Nevares — Fri, 25 Sep 2026 14:32:40 +0000

The Lil Durk trial has led to much conflict and debate concerning his OTF collective. Some of the men initially involved in the murder-for-hire indictment against him, namely OTF Jam and OTF Vonni, became witnesses for the prosecution. This led to snitching attacks and condemnations from the likes of Memo600, a Chicago rapper with strong bonds with The Voice and his affiliates. Now, there’s a social media flare-up between Memo and Jam while the latter deals with the fallout of Durk’s acquittal.

As caught by Akademiks TV on Twitter, Jam took to his Instagram Story to diss Memo. “Through everything that going on right naw i would still smack the s**t out a bih ahh n***a like memo600,” he wrote. “yo lil bih ahh was jus jumping out 2 story windows leaving yo homie behind getting chains took trying to get away from otf. yo ahh a lame you a over grown goofy telling people you [knew] me. i never seen you a day in my life only speak on me when i can reach you. dont speak on me when i cant touch you.”

Memo600 responded in a series of Instagram Stories of his own this week. Also, he posted an AI-generated image of OTF Jam being tangled up (and suspended by) toilet paper in a prison cell.

“IM STARTING TO THINK THIS [ninja emoji] JAM GETTING ALL HIS INFO OFF YOUTUBE,” Memo wrote. “I NEVA IN MY LIFE RAN FROM NO [ninja emoji]. ONE THING U CANT SAY BOUT ME IS IMA SNITCH OR A BIHHH YOU JUST SNITCHED ON FONEM AND GOT YOURSELF LIFE IN JAIL INSTEAD OF TAKING 3 YEARS CAUSE U COULDNT DO TIME FOR A PIPE CASE ON MY KIDS…. YOU GOT 80 MO YEARS TILL U SEE THE STREETS AGAIN & YOU WORKED ABOUT ME. THATS HOW I KNOW U WORKING WONT TRICK ME OUT MY SPOT…”

OTF Jam’s Sentence

Also, he shared alleged IG DMs from Jam praising Memo’s realness. Memo600 argued OTF Jam is only dissing him because Memo “spoke facts” about his cooperation. “YALL BLOGS STEADY GIVING THIS [rat emoji] AIR TIME ON STEVE !” he wrote on his Instagram Story. In addition, Memo shared an AI-generated image of Jam in a prison cell.

OTF Jam received disses from other artists amid this trial, whether it’s within Chicago’s rap scene or beyond it. Jam might face life in prison for admitting to involvement in multiple murders, but he has not received a sentence yet. He initially faced three to four years for a federal gun charge. On the other hand, Memo600’s taunts towards other industry foes make this flare-up with Jam unsurprising.

Fireflies – Song by John Legend & Pharrell Williams

Alexander Cole — Fri, 25 Sep 2026 14:14:03 +0000

John Legend and Pharrell Williams are gearing up to drop Muse later this year. Firstly, we got the song “Daylight.” Today, we are getting a new track called “Fireflies.” This song contains some haunting piano and strings. It’s a stroke of genius from Pharrell, who gives John Legend a soundscape he seldom sings over. Of course, Legend’s vocals are simply fantastic on this song. This is typically the case for Legend, so no one should be surprised. That said, this song is another solid showcase from the two legends, and there is more on the horizon.

RichPhonks – EP by Che & Tezzus

Alexander Cole — Fri, 25 Sep 2026 14:09:25 +0000

Che and Tezzus are two artists who have certainly taken over the underground as of late. They have delivered some incredible songs and projects, and it was only a matter of time before they linked up for a project. On “RichPhonks,” they only delivered a two-track EP, but the feature from diamond* definitely helps beef things up. Both songs contain noisy instrumentals and some wild vocal performances. Two things that both artists are known for. The chemistry is natural, and one has to wonder if a full project of this could be on the way.

JAŸ-Z’s Rape Accuser Fully Recants Allegations

Aron A. — Fri, 25 Sep 2026 14:01:19 +0000

The anonymous woman who accused JAŸ-Z of sexual assault has declared that there was “no truth” to any of her claims, according to Rolling Stone. In a 12-page declaration filed in federal court, she recanted her accusations against Hov that alleged he raped her. As a result, the mogul also dropped her as a defendant in his lawsuit against her and Tony Buzbee, where he accused them of trying to pressure him into a financial settlement.

“Shawn ‘Jay-Z’ Carter never raped me. I have never met or spoken to Mr. Carter. Mr. Carter never engaged in any inappropriate conduct toward me whatsoever,” Jane Doe wrote in her declaration. “There is no truth to any of my claims against Mr. Carter,” she continued. “I understand my false accusations have caused Mr. Carter immense pain, suffering, and damage that can never be fully undone.”

Doe’s new attorney, James Blair Newman, Jr., said that she’s a victim of sexual assault, “but she was entirely mistaken in her allegations identifying Mr. Carter, and those allegations were false.”

“Mr. Carter did not rape her, sexually assault her, engage in any inappropriate conduct towards her, and she has never met him. She sincerely and unconditionally apologizes to Mr. Carter and his family,” the statement reads. Doe also stated in her declaration that she wasn’t promised any compensation, nor did she receive any.

Jane Doe Recants Allegations Against JAŸ-Z

Doe said that her claim began when she saw an ad in fall 2024 that sought out people with sexual assault allegations against Diddy. She said that the October 2024 lawsuit against Diddy was filed without her knowledge or her lawyers “conducting any independent investigation, background inquiry, or due diligence.”

“In January 2025, I began to doubt my claims against Mr. Carter. I also began doubting that I ever went to a party with celebrities,” she wrote.

She also said she was provided $1,200 by her lawyers to do an interview with NBC News, where she took a polygraph test. She said she never received the results. Buzbee said that the money was “petty cash” to cover meals and travel expenses.

Rory Explains Why He Confronted QueenzFlip During Nightclub Stream

Gabriel Bras Nevares — Fri, 25 Sep 2026 13:56:15 +0000

As part of the New Rory & Mal podcast and as a former cohost on The Joe Budden Podcast, Rory Farrell is no stranger to beef with other hip-hop commentators. This recently manifested in the headlines again after he pressed QueenzFlip at a New York City club during Flip’s livestream. QueenzFlip, a current JBP cohost, had called him and Mal “suckers” in the past, and Farrell decided to confront him about it. During his most recent podcast episode with Jamil “Mal” Clay and Demaris Giscombe, the artist and podcaster explained why he chose to act.

HipHopKlipz36 caught some New Rory & Mal highlights on the matter on Twitter. Mal spoke on disengaging negative energy in the room, suggesting it wasn’t the “time and place” to confront Flip. Rory agreed and said he’s never on “tough guy s**t,” but argued he will always handle situations head-on and explained his thinking. He also said he owes Demaris an apology for being wrong (she and REASON were there when it happened) and suggested his solo mentality that disregards crews might be “only child syndrome.”

“I’m not saying Flip had any intentions to do any of this… If he says I’m out of my mind, he could very well 100 percent be telling the truth,” Farrell remarked of the confrontation at the “Girls Love Karaoke” event on Wednesday (September 23). “We were at the end of the bar. I saw the cameras [for QueenzFlip’s livestream]. And I saw a play about to happen. So I got ahead of it.”

Rory & QueenzFlip Beef

Rory addresses the “clip that” situation with Queenz Flip from Joe Budden Podcast.

Rory believed that Flip was going to run a play and set Rory up- so he decided to get in front of it.

Mal then gives a warning

Mal and Demaris disagreed with this perspective and justification, and Rory admitted it’s not an excuse. His male cohost, however, called the assessment “fair” concerning the cameras, but emphasized Farrell’s understanding that he may have read the situation wrong. Rory apologized to Flip and said he probably misread the whole thing and spoke on always praising him over the years. This is what made him feel a way when QueenzFlip dissed Rory and Mal.

“I don’t approach nobody,” Mal added, saying he would handle this completely differently. “I don’t have any issues with anybody… If y’all got an issue with me, you are more than welcome when you see me to approach the issue. I would just say, approach it with the right energy is all I’m saying.”

Rory Farrell also said he had a “nice conversation” without cameras at one point and spoke on always being ready to fight alone. But Demaris pushed back on this because he wasn’t alone; she was there, too. “I screamed at him in the middle of the street, ‘I’m tired,'” she remarked. “My only point in this… When you are with people, it doesn’t matter what energy you wanted to convey. We are in New York City, you don’t walk up to another grown man and say, ‘Nah, we suckers, right?’ […] You have now put me and REASON in an uncomfortable predicament, whether it was off-camera or not… You have now changed the energy of the entire party… All it takes is male ego, alcohol, the wrong cousin… And elevate it now.”

Rory said he isn’t proud of that, but was well-aware of everything that came with it. We’ll see if QueenzFlip addresses this situation concerning the former Joe Budden Podcast host. Elsewhere, he had other situations to handle, as Remy Ma called him a “b***h” at this “Girls Love Karaoke” event.

pt. 2 of Rory response to the Queenz Flip “clip that” situation. Things get heated between Demaris and Rory-

Rory says

“I’m by myself.. I will happily fight anybody by myself… If you have 30 people with you, i’m getting jumped by 30 people”

Demaris also weighs in… pic.twitter.com/Ge0wsDSGpm
