“Thank you to everyone who’s checked in on me and showed me love!” he wrote. “I’m good….but I’m planning to be better! I’m focused on my family, my recovery, and getting back to the music. Realizing that life is made up of quiet wins and loud losses…. Life’s a gamble and I’m still playing to win. $ET.”

“Offset has been released from the hospital and he is up and walking,” a spokesperson for the Georgia rapper stated. “We’re incredibly grateful to the doctors, nurses, and the entire hospital staff who took such great care of him.”

Fortunately, it seems like he has fully and successfully recovered from the shooting. The exact details of that incident remain unclear per official sources.

Offset & Lil Tjay’s Beef

As for Lil Tjay’s side of the Offset story, his lawyer issued the following statement after his arrest. “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. 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.”

For those unaware, Offset and Lil Tjay’s beef allegedly stems from gambling money the former owed the latter. Tjay accused ‘Set of being a snitch, whereas the latter denied the former was the one to shoot him. He also taunted the New York MC online, so this feud is far from over. But the specific details around these developments remain largely unclear at press time.

As caught by Kurrco on Twitter, he took to social media to share a video of his flabbergasted reaction to hearing the diss track. “This s**t gotta be A.I.,” the caption reads. “N***a snitched on a Zaytoven beat, that’s crazy,” the Indiana MC expressed in the clip.

As such, it seems like Gibbs took a stance on Gucci Mane’s snitching allegations regarding Pooh Shiesty. Many folks feel like Guwop’s lyrical references to the alleged incident constitute as snitching. In addition, an FBI agent recently testified in court that Gucci gave a statement to police about the alleged altercation.

Freddie Gibbs’ reaction here shows the general public response to “Crash Dummy,” as fans are debating which “side” to take here. The discussion is around whether or not Gucci was justified in doing this and allegedly providing testimony against Shiesty. Like many hip-hop debates around the streets and legal complications, things are not as simple as social media would have you believe.

“Crash Dummy” Lyrics

As for what Gucci Mane actually says about Pooh Shiesty on “Crash Dummy,” it’s not hard to catch the references. The lyrics include lines like “Tell the truth, you went out like a real crash dummy / And after all that, boy, you still signed to me” and “You learn from your daddy, so I guess that it’s hereditary / I’m that same n***a that put money on your commissary.” He signed the Memphis spitter to his 1017 Records label earlier this decade.

But the discussion around this doesn’t just concern “Crash Dummy” and Gucci’s alleged cooperation. Pooh Shiesty is fighting this Gucci Mane case despite a bond denial, as his lawyer Bradford Cohen recently said he’s in “good spirits.” Criticisms of the diss track from Freddie Gibbs and many others likely validate this optimism, although things might not pan out well for Pooh in court. But again, we have to wait and see.

It’s been quite the transformation to witness, and the Georgia rapper has become a respectable role model in the process. Gunna is confirming that once again after buying his friends and his manager, Ebonie Ward, new cars.

In a clip caught by Kurrco, the “sakpase” rapper can be seen gifting Ebonie a Ferrari Purosangue, one of the Italian brand’s newer models. It’s also their first SUV and the spec he went with is a sinister black. Topping it off are yellow brake calipers along with a black and white interior.

It’s unclear which cars Gunna bought for his pals, but we have to imagine he splurged on them as well. The woman behind the camera recording this sweet moment praises him later into the clip.

“I have been saying since day one that he was the one… I ride for this one,” she says. She then goes on to add, “I love you and this the new Michael Jackson.”

Is Gunna Dropping New Music Soon?

A post shared by WUNNA (@gunna)

Gunna couldn’t help but smile and be appreciative of the love and admiration. Some folks in the comments section are bit peeved by the MJ comparison. But at the end of the day, his friends are going to naturally have some bias towards him.

Instead, we should be appreciating that Gunna is spreading his wealth to those who have helped him along the way.

In other Gunna news, the hitmaker may have some new music coming soon. Last week, the 32-year-old asked his Instagram followers if he should drop next week (meaning this week). Of course, there’s still time to fulfill that. But we have to assume that he meant by today (Friday April 10) at the latest.

It’s unclear if he meant a new single or project, but regardless, fans were onboard for new music. Unfortunately, it looks like it’s not going to happen this week. But now that he’s got some time off before one more world tour show in July in Portugal, maybe he does comes through sooner or later.

It’s worth noting that he did make this post on April Fool’s Day (April 1) so try not to get your hopes up too high just to be safe.

In a clip from his YouTube show, THE STAR REPORT, caught by joebuddenclips, Star began his segment on Bambaataa by celebrating as if he took him out himself. “And we got him! We got that f*ck n****,” he exclaimed while laughing.

“It took a decade but we got him […] outta here… Hopefully he died a slow death I’m just being honest with you. He was so arrogant to the point where he didn’t feel like he needed to respond to the allegations once upon a time.”

Star then goes on to give listeners some context about how he aided in the allegations against Bambaataa becoming more concrete. Folks in the comments section are pretty skeptical about Star’s rant and claims, so it’s up to you how you want to interpret all of this.

Afrika Bambaataa’s Cause Of Death

Essentially, though, Star discusses how he was able to interview multiple people affiliated with Universal Zulu Nation, the hip-hop community that Bambaataa founded during the genre’s inception.

While he says he was hesitant to broach the allegations given how loose they were prior to 2016, it ultimately helped set things in motion for better or worse. Star claims that some affiliates of Zulu were not happy at all with all of the poking and prodding and that they were dismissing any negative things said about their leader.

But as the story goes, several people later that year like Ronald Savage and Hassan Campbell came forward with disturbing allegations. Child molestation and abuse and sexual assault accusations were unleashed.

Savage, for example, has been more compassionate towards Bambaataa, even going as far as to encourage others to move on. But folks like Star and Campbell feel this isn’t someone to celebrate given the severity of their alleged acts.

Bambaataa passed away early Thursday morning due to complications related to prostate cancer in Pennsylvania. He was 68. “Hip Hop will never be the same without him,” his talent agency, Naf Management Entertainment, reportedly said in an email. “But everything hip hop is today, it is because of him. His spirit lives in every beat, every cypher and every corner of this globe he touched.”

In a social media clip Thugger posted that Kurrco caught on Twitter in the wee hours of today (Friday, April 10), he walked past many plaques showing the commercial success of his releases. Notably, So Much Fun appeared various times. Then, he relayed a message to his opposition or anyone who considers themselves as such.

“Look, I want to tell all my opposition, everybody that’s an opp of me or thinks they’re opps of me, I get three million two times this week. Peace,” the Atlanta rapper expressed. It’s unclear if he has a specific target in mind or what these earnings refer to. Either way, it’s clear Thug wants his success to speak for himself, and to defend him against criticism. Whether or not it will halt criticism is another story.

Young Thug’s Recent Beefs

Most recently, Young Thug has been dealing with lots of beef. As such, there are many people this message could refer to. One of these is 6ix9ine, who recently clowned Thugger’s “mysterious” persona among others. “Them n***as be over here acting like Rey Mysterio and sh*t,” he expressed. “That n***a was tryna promote the n***er song, came out with the baby oil trying to act viral and s**t. They called him a rat, and he literally froze. He literally froze. […] I walk s**t down, n***a, f**k is you talking about?”

Also, Young Thug recently faced accusations from Charleston White that he and his entourage threatened White at Druski’s “Coulda Been Love” reunion in Miami last month. While that situation doesn’t seem to have developed any further, it represents the eyes on him right now and part of the scrutiny he faces.

In any case, Thug’s looking forward to some solid Coachella sets. He’s still flexing his iconic career against all the backlash he’s received over the past few years.

The femcee, real name Qualeisha Barnes, was also a nursing student who lived in Atlanta for almost ten years. Via a news release, the city’s police department reportedly stated that officers responded to the scene at around 1:23AM local time. They reportedly found an “adult female inside of her vehicle, unresponsive, with multiple gunshot wounds.” EMS services reportedly pronounced her “deceased on scene,” and an investigation into the shooting is reportedly underway. Siditty reportedly suffered four gunshot wounds to the face.

Barnes was reportedly 14 weeks pregnant at the time of her death, according to her family’s statements to 11Alive reporter Chase Houle. Also, the family reportedly believes this was a targeted attack because of the pregnancy. “Loved dressing up, she loved beauty,” a family member stated. “She made the Dean’s List, she had, like, two more semesters to go. She was so proud of herself. And we were so proud of her.”

Siditty’s family reportedly believes multiple people may be responsible for the murder and alleged set-up. “If you instigate something that causes a murder, then you need some kind… You need something. I think you need to go to jail, too,” a family member stated.

RIP Siditty

A post shared by No Jumper (@nojumper)

Siditty had been building a name for herself in Detroit hip-hop and beyond thanks to tracks like “Get A Check” with Peezy and “Bad lil B***h.” She had a brash and confident approach to her music that made it resonate with many within and outside of her circle. Barnes also worked hard to become a nurse, a path she will sadly not get to follow through on.

We will see if more statements from Siditty’s family or police emerge in the near future. At press time, no other details, suspicions, or developments in the case have emerged. For now, fans are sharing their condolences and wishing Barnes’ family all the best.
Rest In Peace Siddity.

Per Fox 13 Tampa Bay, the jury selection process started on Wednesday, April 8, at a downtown Tampa courthouse. Attorneys for both the four remaining defendants and the prosecutors are reportedly choosing from roughly 250 people.

Sean Gathright, Rashad Murphy, Davion Murphy and Isaiah Chance, the four men charged with first-degree murder, are all facing the death penalty.

As a result, potential members of the jury will be inquired about their views on the death penalty. Those who won’t entertain the possibility of such a punishment will be eliminated early on. In the end, 14 jurors are the goal.

After that concludes, the trial will really be set in motion. All four men are being tried together, something that their legal reps tried to argue against. The news station reports that in March they tried to convince the court that some evidence such as certain statements and alleged gang connections could unfairly influence jurors.

Alicia Andrews’ Sentencing For Foolio Murder

Prosecutors affirmed they will not bring forth certain evidence that may not apply to all of the defendants. With their being such a large number of people being interviewed, expect the jury selection to take at least a few days.

But if anything else pops up before this portion of the trial ends, we will be sure to inform you.

The last major update we reported on in regard to the Foolio case was Alicia Andrews’ sentence ruling. That occurred back at the end of October 2025. In sum, she dodged the first-degree murder charge that her alleged co-conspirators face.

Instead, Andrews was hit with a guilty manslaughter charge. She also was found not guilty of conspiracy to commit murder. She too was facing a life sentence if she was convicted of first-degree murder. Now, according to Complex, the max is 15 years.

As it stands, she’s still yet to hear what her sentence will be. Initially, she was slated to receive her result on December 8. However, days prior to the aforementioned date, her legal team argued that the court should be disqualified from “any further participation” in the case. In addition, they asked for her sentencing to be delayed. They got their wish in regard to the judge being removed in January. However, a new sentencing date is seemingly still in limbo.

As caught by CY Chels on Twitter, Wack argued that we don’t know if the Alabama native wrote the song. Ak argued that this is just as much of a snitching incident as the alleged statement to police. The streamer couldn’t believe the executive’s argument, positing that the song is even worse than the statement. Still, Wack stood firm on his beliefs, giving Gucci the benefit of the doubt.

“Rapping about it and doing it is two different things,” Wack 100 expressed. He combated DJ Akademiks’ argument that he likes when artists live what they rap, arguing that “YNs” have made that previously unadvisable route more appealing. “Man, y’all don’t know what a motherf***er was doing unless a motherf***er was there with him. I don’t give a f**k what you’re talking about,” Wack continued.

He also berated Akademiks for allegedly not knowing what he’s talking about, arguing that Gucci Mane is just an entertainer. In response, Ak insinuated Gucci might be lying about his previous street persona and told when someone really from the streets pressed him, if Wack is correct in his assessment.

“Crash Dummy” Lyrics

On “Crash Dummy,” Gucci Mane made several lyrical allusions to the alleged kidnapping and robbery, such as “Tell the truth, you went out like a real crash dummy / And after all that, boy, you still signed to me,” “I thought it was a business meeting, but it was a set-up,” and “Pen to the paper, but it’s under duress.”

Meanwhile, Pooh Shiesty’s fighting this Gucci Mane case in court, although he didn’t recently receive good news. Following a bond denial, his lawyer Bradford Cohen said he’s in “good spirits.” We’ll see how the legal development continues.
