Meek ended up sharing a clip from the performance on Instagram, writing in the comments section: “It was sooo loud I couldn’t hear myself on beat lol.” Fans replied to the post by celebrating the collaboration. “It was so [fire] in there we went crazy when meek came out,” one user wrote. Another added: “All jokes aside this one of the craziest songs of all time. It hasn’t failed yet.”

Following the show in Philadelphia, Cardi B will be traveling to Washington, D.C. on Wednesday, where she will perform at Capital One Arena. After that, she has lined up shows in Raleigh, Charlotte, and Sunrise, before wrapping up the tour with back-to-back concerts in Atlanta, later this month.

Offset Casino Shooting

A post shared by Meek Mill (@meekmill)

Cardi B’s performance in Philadelphia came after someone shot her ex-husband, Offset, during an altercation at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida. A spokesperson for the rapper has since confirmed that he is “fine” and “is currently at the hospital receiving medical care.”

Exact details surrounding the shooting aren’t entirely clear, but authorities arrested Lil Tjay on a misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge afterward. They alleged that he instigated a fight between his own crew and Offset, which eventually led to the shooting.

Tjay’s lawyer, Dawn Florio, has already denied that her client was behind the attack. “We are issuing this release in regards to false rumors that Lil Tjay was involved in a shooting which occurred at the Valet Area of the Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood which resulting in non-life threatening injuries to Offset, formerly a member of Migos,” she explained in a statement. “Lil Tjay has not been shot, nor has Lil Tjay been charged with any shooting. Any reporting to the contrary is false. We encourage people to consult trusted news sources, and to verify the accuracy of any reporting, before reflexively sharing or repeating baseless rumors.”

Others said they’re too different as artists to truly compare with one another. “Different sh*t. Boxing or UFC? Both definitely elite fighters, champs!” one fan argued. “They don’t do the same thing, listen closely. They bring different P to the table. One thing though your favs don’t want a smoke with either. I can bet push don’t want a problem with Jada and vice versa.”

Both Pusha T and Jadakiss have been successful as solo artists as well as part of larger groups. Pusha T is famously one-half of the duo, Clipse, alongside his older brother Malice. They released their latest album together, Let God Sort Em Out, in 2025. The project was a major success, earning them a nomination for Album Of The Year at the Grammy Awards.

The Lox “Never Change” Song

As for Jadakiss, he is one-third of The Lox alongside Styles P and Sheek Louch. While they haven’t released a studio album since 2020’s Living Off Xperience, they did team up for the single, “Never Change,” last month.

According to WFAA, he’s set to appear in court today for a hearing regarding his charges. News of Pooh Shiesty’s hearing comes shortly after his lawyer, Bradford Cohen, released a statement about his case.

“We are still evaluating the alleged evidence against Mr. Williams, Jr. at this time,” it reads. “After the bond hearing on Mr. Williams Sr. and the testimony we reviewed, it appears that there is a significant gap in the statements made by the government and the actual evidence.

Did Gucci Mane Snitch On Pooh Shiesty?

At the time of writing, Gucci Mane has not addressed his signee’s legal woes directly. He did, however, flaunt his jewelry on Instagram amid rumors that Pooh Shiesty stole his ring during the alleged robbery.

Some ex-fans have started to call out Gucci Mane for allegedly “snitching,” even throwing away merch in some cases. DJ Akademiks, on the other hand, claims the rapper did exactly what he would if he were in his shoes.

“No diss to Gucci, I love you, Gucci,” he said during a recent livestream. “Don’t know if you’re taking the stand. But Gucci’s doing the identification. […] He’s doing what I would do.”

Many on social media have been using the situation as a way to troll Kendrick Lamar, following his highly-publicized feud with Drake. “They were so busy trolling Drake, they forgot to stream other rappers’ music,” one user replied to HipHopAllDay on X (formerly Twitter). Another added: “The dot era became the worst in history.” Other users called on Drake to release his highly-anticipated album, Iceman.

In October 2025, Billboard reported that no rap songs appeared in the chart’s top 40 for the first time since February 2, 1990. At the time, NBA YoungBoy’s “Shot Callin,” was the highest at No. 44.

Drake’s “Iceman” Album

Drake released “What Did I Miss?” as the lead single from Iceman on July 5, 2025. It peaked at No. 2 on the US Billboard Hot 100. Despite the high landing spot, it didn’t have a ton of staying power. It fell outside of the top 30 within a month.

Following the release of “What Did I Miss?” Drake shared two more singles from Iceman. They included “Which One” featuring Central Cee, and “Dog House” featuring Yeat and Julia Wolf.

Despite the popularity of his singles, Drake still hasn’t confirmed a release date for the project. He recently hinted that it’s “coming soon” at the Juno Awards. Congratulating Nelly Furtado for her induction into the Canadian Hall of Fame, he said in a video message: “To the Junos, because you are honouring one of my dearest friends tonight, I will spare you, even though I know you’re still thinking about those six awards that you gave to Shad in 2011 when you snubbed ‘Take Care’ as I hosted the 40th anniversary of your award show. But listen, that’s neither here nor there. Tonight we’ll let it go. This is about Nelly. And one thing Nelly knows, you know my love is real. You know my love is true. I love you. Have a great night. Enjoy your hall of fame status. It’s long overdue. Kill the performance. We love you dog. Iceman coming soon.”

Pooh Shiesty’s father, Lontrell Williams Sr., was also arrested for his alleged involvement in the crime. He was previously granted a $250K bond with a $25K cash deposit, but prosecutors were quick to push back. They’ve since moved to revoke his bond and put him back behind bars while he awaits trial, per Action News 5, arguing that he could be a flight risk.

At the time of writing, feds are expected to file their formal motion on April 13.

Pooh Shiesty Legal Issues

As for Pooh Shiesty himself, he faces a potential life sentence if convicted. His lawyer, Bradford Cohen, released a statement about his arrest earlier this week.

“We are still evaluating the alleged evidence against Mr. Williams, Jr. at this time,” it reads. “After the bond hearing on Mr. Williams Sr. and the testimony we reviewed, it appears that there is a significant gap in the statements made by the government and the actual evidence. As such, we have been reviewing those issues in anticipation of Mr. Williams, Jr. bond hearing.”

These are far from the only legal woes Pooh Shiesty has dealt with in recent years. In 2025, he was released from prison after spending roughly three years behind bars. In 2022, he pleaded guilty to a charge in connection with a robbery and shooting that took place at a hotel He was released several months early due to good behavior.

In a clip shared by Kollege Kidd on Instagram, he pulls down a surgical mask to reveal a small wound on his nose. For now, it remains unclear whether or not he sustained any more notable injuries during the alleged fight. Offset has since claimed that Lil Tjay was not the person who shot him. Lil Tjay’s attorney has released a statement denying his involvement.

“We are issuing this release in regards to false rumors that Lil Tjay was involved in a shooting which occurred at the Valet Area of the Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood which resulting in non-life threatening injuries to Offset, formerly a member of Migos,” Dawn M. Florio wrote following the shooting.

“Lil Tjay has not been shot, nor has Lil Tjay been charged with any shooting,” she continued. “Any reporting to the contrary is false. We encourage people to consult trusted news sources, and to verify the accuracy of any reporting, before reflexively sharing or repeating baseless rumors.”

On the same night as the shooting, Lil Tjay was arrested and hit with charges of disorderly conduct and operating a vehicle without a valid license. When he was released from jail, he labeled Offset a “rat.” Clearly, their beef is far from squashed.

“The last thing I seen was Offset looking at me like this: ‘Yo, that n***a shot me, that n***a shot me.’ N***a is a rat,” he claimed. “I didn’t do no damn fighting. ‘Did I shoot Offset?’ That sh*t is crazy. I would smack the sh*t out of Offset. He would never play with me like that in his life. Ask Offset.”

“Once I have such information, I will proceed accordingly. Based on what is currently known to me, I have no indication that an entry ban can be applied in this case,” the minister said.

The confirmation comes after the Home Office of the United Kingdom denied his application to travel to the country for his headlining set at Wireless Festival, earlier this week.

Kanye West Wireless Controversy

Shortly after the Home Office announced its ruling, the organizers of Wireless Festival canceled the event altogether. “As a result of the Home Office banning YE from entering the United Kingdom, Wireless Festival has been forced to cancel,” they wrote in a statement on Instagram. “All ticket holders will receive an automatic full refund.”

Amid the drama, West said he was willing to meet with representatives from the Jewish community in London. “To Those I’ve Hurt: I’ve been following the conversation around Wireless and want to address it directly. My only goal is to come to London and present a show of change, bringing unity, peace, and love through my music,” he wrote in a statement. “I know words aren’t enough – I’ll have to show change through my actions. If you’re open, I’m here. With Love, Ye, formerly known as Kanye West.”

That offer followed a lengthy apology he published in The Wall Street Journal, earlier this year. At the time, he admitted he had “lost touch with reality.” He explained: “Things got worse the longer I ignored the problem. I said and did things I deeply regret. In that fractured state, I gravitated toward the most destructive symbol I could find, the swastika, and even sold T-shirts bearing it.”

News of the shooting earned big reactions from the former Migos member’s fans and peers, who were quick to speculate about who was responsible. Many theorized that Lil Tjay, who was arrested the night of the shooting, was allegedly somehow involved. Lil Tjay’s attorney has publicly denied this, but he and Offset do have beef dating back to last year.

Lil Tjay accused Offset of owing him $10K and of having a gambling addiction. This resulted in a heated back-and-forth online. Some other people have also come forward to accuse Offset of owing them money since the shooting. This includes Ebro, who made his accusations during a recent episode of The Ebro Laura Rosenberg Podcast.

Ebro Offset Super Bowl Bet

“He owes me $5,000. He does,” he alleged at the time. “Offset’s fine. I tried to call him last night. We bet on the Super Bowl in New Orleans. I bet $5,000. I was prepared to pay him $5,000. I’ve talked to him a thousand times since then and never jammed him up about $5,000 because clearly, he’s somebody who didn’t pay his bet. Like, why am I gonna chase you around about five grand? It’s not a big deal to me.”

Now, it looks like Ebro has had a change of heart. In a clip shared by @thechat101 on Twitter/X, he apologizes for bringing up the alleged debt, claiming that he didn’t realize people would pile on amid the scandal.

“I didn’t realize that all these people were gonna start claiming that Offset owes them money,” he explained. “Me and Offset made a goofy bet at the Super Bowl. […] When I heard the story yesterday, it didn’t seem that egregious. Now, when I’m hearing the details and the details started coming out yesterday, I didn’t realize Offset and Lil Tjay really had a problem.”

They over there chilling, and they press up on Offset, they jump Offset. Everything I’m about to say is on camera. But here’s where we’re gonna put the pressure on Lil Tjay. You called that man a snitch. You lied on that man because if Offset would’ve snitched, he would’ve given a statement to the police, and your charges would’ve been upgraded. Lil Tjay ain’t shot nobody, and Offset ain’t say you shot nobody because you wouldn’t have gotten bond.”

From there, he referenced a viral video of the aftermath of the incident, which showed someone lying on the ground. “Here’s where things get interesting,” Nash further claimed. “Lil Tjay got knocked out. What happened is, the little ni**a who got arrested ain’t nobody crew. The dude who got arrested was just a fan of Offset. So, Tjay got his ass knocked out by a fan. The n***a that’s on the ground, that’s Lil Tjay. Offset is already in the ambulance being transported.”

Authorities arrested Tjay for his role in the incident, charging him with misdemeanor disorderly conduct, although he’s since gotten out on bond. While leaving the jail, he told reporters that Offset was a “rat.” “The last thing I seen was Offset looking at me like this: ‘Yo, that n***a shot me, that n***a shot me.’ N***a is a rat,” Tjay said. “I didn’t do no damn fighting. ‘Did I shoot Offset?’ That sh*t is crazy. I would smack the sh*t out of Offset. He would never play with me like that in his life. Ask Offset.”

According to a spokesperson, Offset is doing “fine” and is recovering at a hospital. The injuries are not considered to be life-threatening.

Tory Lanez Megan Thee Stallion Case

News of Barker’s vague post arrives just a few weeks after the California Supreme Court rejected a petition from his defense team asking them to review the case. He’ll be eligible for parole in September of 2029. He’s maintained his innocence since getting arrested in 2020. During an interview with NBC News in December, he made it clear that while he doesn’t agree with what he’s been accused of, he doesn’t have any animosity towards Meg. He also insisted that he’s never been violent towards a woman, and only wants to be treated fairly.

“I’ve never been violent towards a woman; I would never hit a woman, let alone shoot a woman,” he stated.

“When I talk about my case, I don’t want it to be taken as me coming at her. Because it’s not that,” Lanez continued. “I’m just asking for somebody in the system to look at my case and look at the evidence and ask if this was fair.”
