Via collab posts with these artists, she teased the featured guests on the LP by showing off designs mixing her cheetah print iconography with that of her peers. Savage was the first one: a knife with a cheetah print hilt. Some fans initially thought this was referring to the name of their baby. But subsequent posts cleared the air.

The next tease was of female military solider figurine, harkening to Mariah The Scientist. Then, the Columbus-born lyricist posted a Nigerian flag to announce a Wizkid appearance. XXL caught these on IG.

But yesterday (Sunday, May 24), she added more fuel to the fire by posting a rose, announcing that a Teyana Taylor collab is also on the way. This is all very exciting news, and we’ll see if more social media collab posts with the featured guests announce the whole guest list before the full-length comes out.

When Is Latto Dropping Big Mama?

A post shared by Big mama (@latto)

Latto is dropping Big Mama this Friday (May 29), and she already paved the way for it with some singles. “Business & Personal (Intro)” led the charge with the album and pregnancy announcement. Then, she dropped the “GOMF” collaboration with GloRilla, so we know the Memphis star will be another feature on here.

Other Latto collab speculation refers to some of her friends, one of which went to her recent baby shower. Sexyy Red recently posted footage of them at the celebration, congratulating her on this amazing moment of her life.

They have never collaborated on a solo track together, although they both contributed to the “Peaches & Eggplants” remix from Young Nudy. Will they link up on Big Mama? We’ll have to wait and see. In any case, these collaboration teases are building up a lot of hype for this moment.

Since that time, it appears as though the artist has taken a break from the public eye. He is doing his own thing, and that is probably for the best. He was even spotted in the studio with Quavo, which gives some feeling that a Migos reunion is on the horizon.

Recently, Offset was out and about, where he was asked about Drake’s new album ICEMAN. Offset revealed that he believes the song of the summer is on the album. While some would argue the song of the summer is “Janice STFU,” Offset claims it is actually “Shabang.”

Offset Loves “Shabang”

“Shabang” is an excellent choice for Offset, especially when you consider how there are some Quavo ad-libs on the song. Overall, “Shabang” has some catchy production, although there are some people online who have clowned the song for Drake’s nursery rhyme flow.

Whatever the case may be, Drake is winning right now. His three albums are the top three on the Billboard 200. Due to Memorial Day, the Billboard Hot 100 will only come out on Wednesday. However, it is expected that Drake will have upwards of 40 songs on the charts. Furthermore, “Janice STFU” is expected to be the number one song.

This is a huge comeback for the artist, who was counted out after the beef with Kendrick Lamar in 2024. Two years later, Drake remains on top, and his fans aren’t going away, anytime soon.

This allegedly went down during Nicki Minaj’s White House visit, specifically for the Trump Accounts event. However, it’s unclear if the interaction with Cruz was at the White House or the Capitol building. Either way, the Trump advisor responded to a picture of him with Minaj and the senator that a Barb account posted.

“Not to overexaggerate, but I’ve never seen anything like it,” Alex Bruesewitz claimed. “@tedcruz and his staff literally sprinted down the hallway screaming ‘Nicki! Nicki! Nicki!’ begging Nicki Minaj for a picture. I told Ted we were in a rush, we had to get to the White House and didn’t have time to stop for photos with every fan. (To her credit, Nicki stopped and took pics with as many staffers and elected officials as she could.) We just didn’t have time for Ted. Plus, brand-wise, it’s not exactly a good look to pose with Lyin’ Ted, so I was looking out for my girl.

“After getting turned down for the formal photo, Ted cornered us on the way out and his team snapped this shot as we were leaving just to make him look cool,” he continued. “Extremely creepy. I sure as heck won’t be taking any foreign policy advice from a guy who behaves like that.”

Nicki Minaj’s Elon Musk Visit

Nicki Minaj’s alignment with Donald Trump and conservatives has even extended to on-and-off-again foes of Trump. For example, she recently visited the Starbase facility in Texas for the latest SpaceX Starship launch from Elon Musk, praising his work.

Elsewhere, the Queen of the Barbz’s other political criticisms continue to cause debate, such as her thoughts on Jay-Z ruining former U.S. president Barack Obama. But maybe even conservatives like Ted Cruz have a hard time finding her full favor.

The photos show the kids strolling through the luxury area’s woods in matching tracksuits, with a golf cart not far behind. The family reportedly had two golf carts; Bey drove one, Sir or Hov rode another. As for the context of this outing, no one really knows. But it’s always heartening to see them out and about without celebrity pressures and outside of celebrity environments… albeit this being in the Hamptons.

This rare sighting comes amid Jay-Z’s recent beef-related headlines, as a few disses against him emerged on the new Drake album ICEMAN. Jay previously downplayed having any issues with him or even giving him time in his mind. The Hamptons are certainly a viable distraction, and rumors of him responding to any of those shots seem very unlikely.

Also, there’s no greater distraction than family. We’ll see if folks spot them on any other adventures together these days.

Jay-Z & Beyoncé’s Children

For those unaware, Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s children have varying relationships to public life. Blue Ivy has been a star in her own right, and is the kid most folks see in public. Twins Rumi and Sir, on the other hand, don’t appear as much, as the parents want to protect their privacy and they are reportedly not as keen when it comes to celebrity. Despite many rumors about them floating around the Internet, they continue to prioritize their own wellness above public check-ins.

Beyoncé and her family recently made a splash at the Met Gala this year, with Blue and her husband accompanying her. It was her first Met Gala in a decade, and her diamond skeleton dress made jaws drop. While this Hamptons outing isn’t as luxurious, it’s still nice to see our most publicized celebrities be human and take a stroll in the park.

If you were watching, then you would know that Supa Hot Fire won thanks to a second-round stoppage. However, Supa Hot Fire didn’t do anything in the first round. He refused to throw a punch and simply danced around the ring. Ray J subsequently accused the fight of being rigged.

On his stream, Adin Ross revealed that the fight will be investigated, because Ray J has a point.

“Ray J obviously what he said after the fight… Supahot not throwing a fucking punch like in the first round, we need to look into that,” Ross said. “We need to investigate that.”

Adin Ross Looks To Make Things Right

Ross went on to say that Supa Hot Fire has been a sensational fighter so far. That said, the first round did appear suspicious, and Ray J has a right to be upset and to question things.

“Supahot has been nothing but a great fighter,” he continued. “Supa looked like himself in the second round. Now do I know why Ray J said what he said? No I don’t. … We’re taking that shit very seriously. It looked weird bro.”

Whether or not Brand Risk comes to any conclusions on the matter is something that very much remains to be seen. Ultimately, when betting companies like “Rainbet” are involved, questions are going to arise. People are going to be skeptical, and Ross is going to have to weather that storm.

Perhaps in the future, the streamer will need to reevaluate who he goes into business with, especially if it puts his fights into question.

“Not enough big girls w they whole stomach out fa meeee,” the caption read. The singer wore a magenta bikini, a scarf around her head, and matched the look with earrings, a necklace, and a bracelet.

Lizzo’s talked a lot about body positivity before, previously calling out changing standards for plus-sized women. In a Substack essay titled “Why is everybody losing weight and what do we do? Sincerely, a person who’s lost weight,” she warned how weight-loss drugs are leaving these women behind.

“Once something becomes for everyone, the people it was created for are edged out,” the 38-year-old wrote. She spoke on her own personal journey, indicating her weight loss is more about wellness than appearance. Hopefully more discussions about these topics continue to center the women who go through these questions, debates, and criticisms rather than folks policing body image and encouraging restrictive standards.

Lizzo’s Bikini Pics

Elsewhere, though, Lizzo is reflecting on her industry peers beyond questions of body image. On Joel Madden’s Artist Friendly podcast, she spoke on the erroneous notion that all celebrity collaborators are good friends.

“Even people who have songs together, people think they’re besties,” the Detroit native remarked. “It’s like, no. I like them as an artist, I respect their music and we collabed. But like, I sent them files. They recorded it and sent it back to me… I don’t really have many people who [I can] talk to about this sort of thing. I talk to SZA, I love her. She’s one of the only few people… But like, she’s the only person that I can call and be like, ‘Okay b***h,’ and she’s like, ‘Okay.'”

Amid Lizzo’s new music, we’ll see what else she has to say about these topics. She has been the subject of a lot of body conversations, but she’s making where she stands clear.

Over the weekend, Ross had one of his biggest Brand Risk events to date. Supa Hot Fire fought against Ray J, while Lance Stephenson took on Michael Beasley. There was even a fight between Johnny Manziel and Bob Menery.

During the press conference for this event, Ross was asked about whether or not Drake would ever get in the ring. More specifically, he was asked if Drake could defeat Kendrick Lamar in a boxing match.

Ross practically scoffed at the question, claiming that Drizzy would “beat the f*ck” out of Kendrick. We will probably never know.

Adin Ross Gives His Take On Drake vs. Kendrick

Following the event, Adin Ross was on stream where he revealed that Drake is gearing up to be a co-owner of Brand Risk. Quite frankly, this makes a ton of sense. Drake is in business with Kick and Stake. Meanwhile, these are two brands that Ross helped popularize. It only makes sense that Drizzy would tap in, especially now that Brand Risk is bringing in bigger celebrity fighters.

A good example of this was Manziel’s inclusion in Saturday night’s show. Drake and Manziel are good friends, and we can imagine Drizzy vouching for Ross’ new boxing promotion.

Whether or not Brand Risk is able to up the ante with their next show still remains to be seen. However, after the Ray J fight from this weekend, it is clear that they have achieved some positive momentum.

Per the outlet, a trial date of May 3, 2027 is what is on track in court. Sean Combs, Bad Boy Entertainment LLC, and his CeOpco LLC corporate entity appear as codefendants. His lawyers reportedly expressed concern for the trial’s scheduling due to his current and projected April 15, 2028 release date. If this goes all the way to a civil jury trial, it could be the third time the Bad Boy mogul does so.

That’s because his federal case’s conclusion was followed by Diddy’s demand for a jury trial concerning the lawsuit against him from Clayton Howard. The former escort sued for $20 million over allegations that Combs and Cassie abused him and mistreated him for “freak-off” parties. In addition, Puff is appealing his conviction over Mann Act violations.

Bryana Bongolan’s Diddy Allegations

For those unaware, creative director Bryana Bongolan’s accusations against Diddy are that he dangled her over a 17th-floor balcony in Los Angeles, specifically in September of 2016 at Cassie’s apartment. Per the lawsuit, he allegedly held her for up to 15 seconds before throwing her back on the patio.

Bongolan claimed the assault caused bruises, back pain, neck pain, and years-long trauma. Her testimony at Sean Combs’ federal criminal trial included claims about her constantly waking up screaming in her sleep due to the trauma. Bongolan also invoked her Fifth Amendment rights before the testimony, leading to the judge’s immunity order.

The defense team accused her of being a heavy drug user who was under the influence during the alleged incident, allegations she denied.

We will see what comes of this potential civil trial and the other legal matters on Diddy’s plate. He could have many more loose ends to respond to when he gets out of jail, or during his stay.

It was reported that Gucci Mane spoke to the local police; however, he has not cooperated with federal authorities. Despite this, there are some fans and detractors who are looking to label the legendary artist as a “rat.” He has been called that in public, and the hip-hop commentator space has been filled with various snitching debates.

However, the internet and real life are two very different places. Case in point, Gucci Mane was performing at Birthday Bash ATL 2026 over the weekend. Numerous Atlanta legends participated in the event, including Gucci. As you will see in the footage below, he received a huge crowd response and was shown a ton of love, all things considered.

T.I., 2 Chainz, Soulja Boy, and Waka Flocka Flame were among some of the names in attendance for the event. It just goes to show that despite the headlines, Gucci Mane is still one of the biggest names in Atlanta’s historic rap scene.

Furthermore, this all just goes to show that most hardcore fans look beyond the noise. They simply want to listen to the music and let the performances wash over them.

As for the Pooh Shiesty case, a trial date of July 6 has been tentatively set. Evidence still needs to be presented, and for now, there is a lot of uncertainty surrounding Gucci Mane’s willingness to testify.

Either way, this is a developing story that we will be keeping tabs on.

His rollout for ICEMAN was a joy to watch, especially towards the end. No one could have expected that he would turn around and give fans three whole albums. With these releases came the anticipation that Drake could break multiple Billboard records. For instance, he had the opportunity to become the first artist to debut with the top three albums on the Billboard 200.

On Sunday, that is exactly what happened. ICEMAN, HABIBTI, and MAID OF HONOUR made their way to the Top Three. This shattered the record while also giving Drake a leg up on some of his peers. For instance, he now has the most number one albums by a male solo artist. This puts him ahead of Jay-Z. From there, he tied Taylor Swift for the most number ones as a solo artist ever.

Drake Does It Again

Additionally, Drake is now the first rapper with fifteen number-one albums. Overall, this is a sensational achievement that speaks to everything he has been able to accomplish over the years. While some have doubted the artist, others have continued to support him.

ICEMAN finished with 465K first week sales, which is certainly a spectacular achievement in this current climate. Not to mention, fans divided their attention over three albums. If you combine the numbers from all three albums, you are much closer to 700K.

Whether or not these albums stay in the top three remains to be seen. The album with the best shot of staying in rotation is ICEMAN.
