Roofless Records For Drop Tops: Disc 1 – Album by Wiz Khalifa & Curren$y

Zachary Horvath — Thu, 02 Apr 2026 16:07:43 +0000

Some artists just have an unbeatable chemistry. Two rappers who do are Pittsburgh’s own, Wiz Khalifa, and New Orleans native Curren$y. They recognized that decades ago and as a result, they have properly fed fans tons of music as a duo. But even into 2026, they aren’t slowing down. In the wee hours of the night, the veterans decided to drop off a joint album/mixtape called Roofless Records For Drop Tops: Disc 1. Given the title, it sounds like we are due another volume or two at some point. It also rightfully describes what sort of tracks the listener will hear. As Wiz Khalifa said in a recent Instagram Story post, “This makes any car feel like a drop top.” That couldn’t be more accurate as each track is laid back and will be perfect for daytime or nighttime drives this summer.

Release Date: April 2, 2026

Genre: Hip-Hop/Rap

Tracklist for Roofless Records For Drop Tops: Disc 1:

Close Your Eyes
Jet Taylor
So Many Flavors
Stoned and Leave
Bounce Back
How Could I Lose
The Same One
Live Fast Burn Slow
Ashes Out The Window
Rrari Twins

Azealia Banks Hits DC Young Fly With Low Blow About Jacky Oh’s Death

Caroline Fisher — Thu, 02 Apr 2026 15:51:56 +0000

Azealia Banks is all too familiar with delivering low blows, and yesterday (April 1), she did just that. The femcee hopped on Twitter/X to share a clip of DC Young Fly dissing her during her 2018 appearance on Wild ‘N Out. In her caption, she referenced the tragic death of the MTV star’s longtime partner, Jacky Oh.

“The fact that this mans baby mother died of complications from a mommy makeover, in miami ON my birthday. Felt like my ancestors were repaying me for his debt in blood,” she wrote. “It was like a cat bringing the sacrifice right to my doorstep.”

Needless to say, her tweet has earned big reactions from social media users, who are out in full force calling her out. “Girl wtf is wrong with you,” one commenter asks. “Sad you would say this especially after all this time,” another claims. Someone else simply says, “This b*tch wonder why she fell off.”

At the time of writing, DC Young Fly has not publicly responded to Banks’ latest jab.

Over the years, Banks has made it clear how bothered she was by the way she was treated on Wild ‘N Out. Shortly after Jacky Oh’s unexpected passing in 2023, she took to her Instagram Story to announce that she finally felt vindicated.

“DC Young Fly spent years disguising his own deeply rooted hatred of self as joked pointed at women’s beauty,” she declared. “Projecting his own feelings about his own ugliness unto women perfectly secure in their own skin. […] In the end… I won.”

“That [Jacky Oh] girl must have been so deeply insecure about herself,” she continued. “The nerve of DC to call such a gorgeous woman as Azealia Banks… ugly on National television while a bunch of black people laughed. […] Ironically, dead at 32 exactly on my 32nd birthday. […] You ni***s are going to learn to stop f***ing with me.”

Kanye West Halts SoFi Show Multiple Times Over Lighting Issues

Zachary Horvath — Thu, 02 Apr 2026 15:33:55 +0000

When you’re performing for tens of thousands of people, you want to make sure everything is running optimally. From the crew, to the sound, and potential background dancers, it all needs to work in unison. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen at points during Kanye West’s first show in Los Angeles in about five years.

Last night, the Chicago rapper performed at SoFi Stadium (home of the Los Angeles Chargers and Rams). It was the first of two concerts at the venue, with both being a part of his overarching global tour.

He packed the stadium, which can hold just over 72,000 people. But while the show seemed to be a great time, Ye and his lighting crew weren’t on the same page.

As you can see in the clip caught by Kurrco, things went south a little bit during his performance of “Good Life.” West had to pause the song three times before he eventually was satisfied with the lights.

Before getting things right on the fourth attempt, Ye felt they were “corny,” even comparing the pulsating lights to something in a “SNL skit.”

Overall, he just didn’t feel it matched the smoke-covered stage.

“Stop doing the vibrating, Vegas lights, bro. We went over this in rehearsal,” he told the crew directly. Things didn’t get too testy though, and on that fourth and final try, the crowd still loved it.

There’s a good chance that nothing goes wrong when Ye returns to SoFi Stadium tomorrow night.

But as you can see with the clip, the superstar treated concertgoers to a medley of tracks spanning his entire career. From “All Falls Down” to “FATHER,” he pulled out all the stops in his discography. Of course, the reason why he’s touring right now is because of Bully.

As a result, he kicked off the show with tracks from the new album. Per Kurrco, he started with the first four which are “KING,” “THIS A MUST,” “FATHER,” and “ALL THE LOVE.” After that, Kanye revisited classics like “Father Stretch My Hands, Pt. 1,” “Mercy,” “Black Skinhead,” among others.

He also brought out some special guests, including his daughter, North West, to perform their collab “TALKING” and her debut single “PIERCING ON MY HAND.” Bully guests Don Toliver and Andre Troutman also made appearances, with the former getting the opportunity to play his OCTANE smash hit “E85.” Like North, Don and Ye played “Moon” together.

I’m Back – Song by YTB Fatt

Alexander Cole — Thu, 02 Apr 2026 15:26:14 +0000

Internet rumors can spread like wildfire, regardless of whether or not they are true. YTB Fatt was subjected to this recently, as some internet posts made the claim that he was shot and killed during a music video shoot. In the end, these rumors turned out to be completely baseless. The artist made that very clear with his brand-new single called “I’m Back.” This song came out late last night, and it was made very clear that the artist is alive. He is rapping as hard as ever on this new song, and you can tell there is some real urgency here. The artist wanted to show people that he is still here, and we think fans will appreciate the sentiment and the hunger.

Release Date: April 2nd, 2026

Cam’ron Admits He Never Planned To Follow Through On J. Cole Lawsuit

Caroline Fisher — Thu, 02 Apr 2026 15:09:16 +0000

Last year, Cam’ron filed a lawsuit against J. Cole over their collab, “Ready ‘24.” In the lawsuit, the Dipset rapper alleged that the song was recorded in 2022, and that the Dreamville rapper promised to repay him with either a verse or an appearance on one of his podcasts. Cam accused Cole of not following through, but last week, they were finally able to make things right.

Cole sat down with his former collaborator for an episode of Talk With Flee, where they talked things out once and for all. In the follow-up episode, which was released yesterday (April 1), Cam reflected on the ordeal. He also confirmed that the lawsuit has since been dropped.

“I’m happy that we kept everything out of court,” he explained. “I really wasn’t planning on doing no lawsuit anyway, even though I did it […] At the end of the day, I’m happy it went the way that it went and that we got it resolved.”

During his interview, Cole revealed what he thought of the unexpected lawsuit, admitting that it left him feeling surprised and hurt.

Cam’ron J. Cole Interview

“I was hurt, almost disappointed,” he told Cam. “Because I got so much respect for you, and I look at you like, I know you are a stand-up person. When the lawsuit come out, I’m like, ‘Come on, Cam.’ And only because in my mind I’m like, ‘Bro, you really could have hit me.’”

“I would prefer [an argument] than the other way, because I was just like, ‘Damn, Cam,’” he continued. “It never got to that point where you couldn’t holler at me or whatever, right, so my first thing was disappointment, and my first thought was like, ‘Fuck it. This n***a ain’t even know I was still gonna come to his show.’”

“Of course, it was never gonna go nowhere,” Cam’ron added. “But for me, it was more like, ‘I need to get this n***a attention.’”

OnlyFans Model Sophie Rain Claims Drake Tried To Fly Her Out, But Fans Are Very Skeptical

Alexander Cole — Thu, 02 Apr 2026 14:49:46 +0000

Drake is one of the most famous people in the world, which makes him a target of clout chasing. Everyone seems to have a story involving the Canadian mega star. Some of these stories could be real, and some of these stories could be fake. Without hard evidence, it is hard to say what everyone’s intentions are.

Last night, Drizzy found himself at the center of one of these internet guessing games. This is all because of comments made by OnlyFans model Sophie Rain. During a podcast appearance, the model claimed that Drake was in her DMs a while back. She alleges that Drake wanted to fly her out to the Bahamas.

However, it never happened because Rain ultimately ghosted the artist. In her words, she fumbled the situation. It is one of those stories that is tailor-made to go viral. After all, it is a story that involves one of the biggest artists in the world, and one of the biggest OnlyFans creators in the world.

— validate (@validclipx) April 1, 2026

As soon as the story hit social media, there was a wide range of reactions. Drake fans were quick to claim that Rain was lying. Meanwhile, Drake haters were trying to say that this is further proof that Kendrick Lamar’s allegations against him were true.

Rain’s allegations turned into an all-out Stan war, which just goes to show how unproductive the internet can be sometimes. However, the majority of comments on social media seem to believe that Rain is either lying or embellishing her story for some clicks. Ultimately, there is no proof in either direction, and everyone is engaging in hearsay.

The Internet Is Not Convinced

Below, you can see some of these reactions to Rain’s story. There is quite a bit of vitriol here, with many of the skeptics claiming that the OnlyFans creator is just looking for more clout and subscribers for her page. Whatever the intentions may be, there is no denying that Rain has caused quite the stir on social media.

BenDaDonnn Claims Drake Scrapped Club Records From “ICEMAN”

Zachary Horvath — Thu, 02 Apr 2026 14:38:17 +0000

There’s no doubt that Drake knows what it takes to make a killer club banger. He’s done it time and time again throughout his illustrious career. Even though his material hasn’t hit the same for most, he still got the fans (especially the ladies) jumping with “NOKIA” last year.

While no one is going to complain about receiving more slappers in this vein, many Drake fans don’t want that on ICEMAN. Even though every album of his has weight to it, the vibe around this next one is a little different.

People don’t want to talk about the Kendrick Lamar battle anymore, and for good reason. It’s been over for about a year now and the community just wants to focus on more current things happening. But at the same time, it’s why this album is important for Drake to hit out of the park.

Supporters, and doubters alike, want to hear The Boy deliver more rap-focused tracks on ICEMAN. Everyone knows he can make a radio hit. But with the stock in him arguably being lower than it’s ever been thanks to the loss, folks want to see him come back with a vengeance.

BenDaDonnn reveals that he got Drake to scrap a bunch of songs off “Iceman” after telling him fans want to hear more BARS instead of club-type music

“he had turnt up club sh*t, the sh*t for the ladies, so I told him we tryna hear some bars” pic.twitter.com/jaoRCjFGie
— keeno ✧ (@ayekeeno) April 2, 2026

BenDaDonn is one of those people in his circle who feels that way. In fact, during a recent livestream with DDG, he claims Drake had quite a few “turnt up club” tracks and “sh*t for the ladies.”

But the rapper claims he told the Toronto MC, “Bro, we need some bars. He was like, ‘You know what, say no more.'”

When Is Drake Dropping ICEMAN?

Chris Blake says he aired his private Dms with Drake to get ahead publicly because big owl moves like a Mafioso behind the scenes and says ICEMAN will only drop if Drake settles his suit with UMG. pic.twitter.com/kjBrxXKgLG
— ZADCOZZY (@zadcozzy) April 1, 2026

Moreover, BenDaDonnn claims that he actually followed through and “‘scratched so much sh*t.'” The Memphis native says this all went down after hearing “six or seven” songs from ICEMAN. From what he heard, he was messing with the project overall, which is a good sign, despite their being what he claims was an excess of club joints.

Also, in the clip caught by X user keeno, Ben says its “on the way,” which isn’t really saying much sadly. We have heard that time and time again over the last few months and nothing has come to fruition yet.

It seems a few things are playing a part in ICEMAN taking a while to release. Leaks, reworks of the tracklist, and allegedly his UMG lawsuit, are causing uncertainty. Chris Blake Griffith claims that Drake wants the legal war to be settled before dropping it. If that’s the case, then it may be a while before the album lands on streaming services.

Meek Mill Issues Fiery Response To Charlamagne Tha God’s Career Criticism

Caroline Fisher — Thu, 02 Apr 2026 14:19:23 +0000

During a recent episode of his Brilliant Idiots podcast, Charlamagne Tha God shared his thoughts on Meek Mill’s career and how it changed after his battle with Drake. He argued that the Philly rapper never managed to fully recover, prompting a fiery response. In an Instagram post shared yesterday (April 1), Meek highlighted a few of his achievements since the feud, making it clear that he thinks Charlamagne is way off.

“Since Drake beef I drop tap 3x platinum… peta double platinum… blue notes 1 and 2 platinum… uptown vibes with legend from Brooklyn fab platinum… what’s free feat jayz meek mill I think it’s plat… f*ck on me ft cardi b platinum,” he wrote. “How far we came… he actually switched up on drake because he helped power the meek was done narrative was done… now he’s using the same against drake… im good with drake and jayz as far as I know… keep me out this weak a** sh*t.”

He added that he’s gotten plenty of “tech deals” thanks to his activity on Twitter/X.

What Did Charlamagne Tha God Say About Meek Mill?

“What the f*ck is he talking about?” he continued. “We gotta keep a close eye on this cat I feel like he in the closet gay man that hates successful black men unless he doing business with them but I could be wrong. /// That diddy sh*t wasn’t normal ima real trench baby earn plate in front of the world! I rate dieee than disrespect what I put blood sweat and tears and my concerts jumping… I felt black balled for a minute I’m just savage I get what I want!”

Not everything Charlamagne had to say about Meek was negative, however. He indicated that he’s still a fan of the Grammy nominee, even praising him for everything he’s done for his community.

“I f*ck with Meek. You know what I’m saying?” he explained. “I think Meek does a lot for his community. You know, he’s been a great symbol for the city of Philly. I love what he does with Reform. But I probably would have deleted my Twitter after ‘Twitter fingers’ And just flooded the streets with nothing but music.”

Kanye West Delivers Epic Setlist During Night One Of His SoFi Stadium Series

Alexander Cole — Thu, 02 Apr 2026 14:14:27 +0000

Kanye West dropped off Bully over the weekend, and there have been some varying opinions on the album. Some folks love it, while others absolutely hate it. The fans have been especially positive about the album, while most critics feel like Ye can do a whole lot better.

Despite all of this, fans were very excited for Kanye’s SoFi Stadium show in Los Angeles on Wednesday night. This was a big deal for Ye, as this was his first performance in the United States in five years. As you can imagine, he made the most of it.

This wasn’t just some low-effort listening party for Bully. Instead, this was a full blown concert in which the artist performed a mix of new songs as well as some of the biggest hits of his entire career. Below, you can find some footage from the event.

The visuals for the show were certainly impressive, but the best part of the show was the lengthy tracklist. While there were some Bully tracks played, Ye went deep into his discography and put on a show that fans will remember for a very long time.

Ye will be performing at SoFi Stadium again on Friday, April 3rd. Whether or not he changes up the setlist is something that remains to be seen.

Cops Swarm Nicki Minaj’s L.A. Home To Arrest Trespasser

Zachary Horvath — Thu, 02 Apr 2026 13:50:14 +0000

L.A. area cops were thankfully able to make a speedy arrest at Nicki Minaj’s home yesterday morning. The reason they were called there was because a man was trespassing on her property. He was caught on her security camera’s wandering around the superstar’s backyard.

Law enforcement tells TMZ that the trespasser was a white male who had a red beard, long hair, and wore a gray tracksuit. The reason why he was able to be taken into custody in quick succession is because of Minaj’s security.

According to The Neighborhood Talk, the man, a 36-year-old named Leland Adams, refused to leave once he was cornered.

The “Starships” team was then able to detain him until deputies arrived at the household. The outlet also reports that Adams was reportedly arrested five days before this incident but was released shortly after.

In addition, there are rumblings that Adams may have prior run-ins with law enforcement in other states. But that’s not official yet as police are still performing a robust background check as of yesterday.

Nicki Minaj’s Controversies

As it stands, Adams’ motive for trespassing on Nicki Minaj’s property is not known. He’s being held without bond and there’s a good chance he eventually goes to prison for a longer period of time.

The silver lining in all of this though is that Nicki wasn’t home during this incident. This is now the second time something like this has happened to a celebrity within the last month. Rihanna wasn’t as fortunate as her case involved a woman allegedly firing bullets at her home while she and many others were inside.

Nicki Minaj has had a rough go of it too lately, but for different reasons. She’s been dealing with rumors of her manager leaving her. There are also lawsuits, with her most recent one involving her Pink Friday Productions company for allegedly breaching a contract with another company during the Pink Friday 2 era.

Moreover, she reportedly hasn’t received an invite to the 2026 Met Gala over her support of Donald Trump.
