If you are someone who subscribes to Starz, don’t worry. All of the series will remain on Starz. However, starting in November, fans will be able to watch Power on Netflix if they so choose. Unfortunately, this deal does not extend to Canada, according to Deadline. That is because Starz already has a distribution deal in the country thanks to Bell Media.

Unfortunately, Power: Origins and Power: Legacy will not be part of this deal. Instead, it will just be the original four series. Raising Kanan is currently in its fifth season, which will also eventually go to Netflix.

Power Drops On Netflix In November

There isn’t an exact date for the release. It was stated that the series will be released on Netflix according to region. Regardless, this is still a major win for Power, 50 Cent, Starz, and Lionsgate as a whole.

Netflix remains one of the largest streaming platforms out there. They have hundreds of millions of subscribers worldwide. This now gives Power the visibility it deserves. It also gives each series a shelf life well beyond the final episodes.

Many other shows have seen massive success thanks to streaming. Shows like Breaking Bad, Mad Men, and The Office come to mind. Perhaps Power will see a similar second wind over the coming years through this deal.

Let us know your favorite Power series in the comments below.

That is exactly what happened to Rick Ross, who infamously joined the 20v1 against Drake back in 2024. With his new album Set In Stone, Ross was unable to make the Billboard 200’s Top 20. The album’s sales were lackluster, and this has led to some debates about what happened.

On The Joe Budden Podcast, the former rapper suggested that Gamma isn’t doing a good job of marketing artists. However, DJ Akademiks sees it differently. He believes this is all related to Drake.

“Drake is the king of this hip-hop sh*t, and respectfully, everybody who was going against him, we’re realizing in real time that maybe they needed him,” Akademiks said.

DJ Akademiks Goes To Bat For Drake

Ak thinks that the Drake beef had fans choosing sides, with the vast majority siding with Drizzy. As the biggest artist in the game, he had the luxury of the majority siding with his art over others. If people had to choose, they were clearly going to go with the Canadian megastar.

“When y’all dissed Drake, erase 80% of your fanbase. And I do mean that. Because the people who love Ross, they love Drake more,” Ak concluded.

It’s an interesting analysis, although it is important to remember that everyone’s sales are down. It is becoming more and more difficult for artists to retain attention. As a result, these kinds of sales figures are happening more often.

That said, one has to wonder where Ross would be without the Drake beef, just to test the hypothesis.

Among the expenses is Nicki’s $103,730 hotel bill, and statements from 24/7 Production CEO Michael John Davies Pryer and a Langley Hotel folio reportedly reveal the alias she uses when checking in: Tori Spaulding.

Per a sworn filing, the folio listed her as “Tori Spaulding” and showed a payment of $9,500 a night during a seven-night stay at the Langley Hotel in New York. The stay also included staff and crew with four additional rooms, each reservation reading “Routed From Spaulding Tori” and shared under the same master account.

Her Four Seasons suite in Fort Lauderdale racked up to $25,197.85, including separate rooms for her stylist and security, on top of the $3,800 a night for her room.

Nicki Minaj $275K Lawsuit

24/7 Production said they worked on the production for her performances at Jingle Ball in Atlanta and Chicago back in 2023, and were behind her Pink Friday 2 launch in New York City. They said they expected to get reimbursed for the $255K they used to pay for transportation, lighting, sound, security, and hotel accommodations for the work in NYC. 24/7 Production also claimed they didn’t see any money from the $650K that Pink Friday Productions LLC, Nicki’s company, made from the pair of Jingle Ball shows.

Pryer stated in his filing that Nicki personally approved the budget and that there is written confirmation of the debt from her team.

Nicki’s attorneys said that she never signed anything with 24/7, adding that she shouldn’t be held personally accountable for the bills under her company’s name. In July, they asked to remove her from the suit, describing it as “an ill-advised attempt to sue a famous deep-pocket.”

However, the new song snippet has proven to be a bit controversial, thanks to the lyric: “a n**** can’t trap me, I won’t keep it.” Fans immediately assumed that this meant Cardi B would get an abortion if she became pregnant again.

This interpretation of the lyric subsequently led to debates and discourse on social media. This morning, Cardi B had to step in to set the record straight.

Cardi B Previews A New Song

In her response, which can be viewed below, Cardi assured fans that they are misinterpreting what she is trying to say. She is simply stating that “it” is not the baby, but the relationship. She won’t stay with a man just because she has a child with him. It’s certainly a lyric that is consistent with her history. As it stands, she is not in a relationship with Stefon Diggs or Offset.

Cardi B has certainly been under the microscope as of late. For instance, her recent dates with the likes of Maduka Okoye have been debated and speculated on. For now, it appears as though Cardi is just having a bit of fun and enjoying being single.

As for this latest song preview, it remains to be seen if and when this track will drop.

Most recently, DJ Vlad opened up dialogue on X surrounding who the worst rapper of all time is. The comments ranged from Iggy Azalea to Lil B, Soulja Boy, Silkk The Shocker, and more. However, Azealia Banks quickly added the Harlem rapper’s name to the mix, writing, “Asap Rocky for sure.”

Unfortunately for her, it didn’t seem like many of her fans agreed with her assessment, and several of them accused her of being obsessed with him. One fan wrote, “Azealia been obsessed with Rocky for years and that man pays her absolutely no mind. It’s hilarious .” Another added, “Mind u, u have been obsessed with this dude for years! If u expecting for him to answer u, it’s never gonna happen. He gives no fu*k abt u .”

Azealia Banks Revisits A$AP Rocky Beef

This isn’t even the first time this year that she’s expressed his issues about Rocky. After Complex listed him at #40 on their list of 50 Greatest New York Rappers list, Banks not only said she’s “better than ASAP Rocky,” she also called for Complex to be defunded. That alone sparked its own debate. 

Whether or not A$AP Rocky ever responds to Azealia Banks has yet to be seen. After all, he’s a father of three who just wrapped up tour and has teased the possibility of a deluxe edition to his most recent album. We will keep you posted on any more updates regarding their feud.

Yella Beezy and his legal team had been fighting to keep rap lyrics out of the courtroom. However, Judge Anyiam has ruled that Yella Beezy’s songs “Keep It In The Streets” and “On Ya Head” can be used by the prosecution.

Furthermore, the Mo3 song “2 Nineteen” can also be presented as evidence. The song touches on the shooting of Mo3’s associate, Roylee Pete.

According to XXL, songs aren’t the only thing that can be used as evidence. Social media posts from Mo3 and Yella Beezy can be used. Furthermore, Beezy’s VladTV interview from seven years ago can also be used.

Yella Beezy Gets Some Bad News

Kewon White, the man accused of killing Mo3, is set to go to trial on August 24. Yella Beezy’s trial will take place soon after.

During the fight to keep rap lyrics out of the court, Beezy’s legal team brought in Dr. Erik Nielson. The University of Richmond professor has expertise in the area of rap lyrics and their history of being used in court. It was here that he made an argument against them being permissible.

“People found rap lyrics to be far more literal than the exact same lyrics characterized as country,” Dr. Nielson explained. “If they’re saying, ‘I did this or I did that’ … it can sound like a straight confession. It’s a perfect way to send people to jail for something they did not do.”

This sets a bad precedent for freedom of speech in hip-hop. Allowing lyrics to be used is a slippery slope. Unfortunately, for Yella Beezy, the decision appears to be final.

Recently, Durk actually scored a huge win. After the prosecution tried to add Chicago and Atlanta-based allegations to the case at the last-minute, Durk was able to get the allegations removed. The judge even scolded the prosecution for attempting dirty tricks.

Now, Durk’s legal team, including Drew Finding and Brian Steel, are attempting to get some evidence removed from the record. According to AllHipHop, there is an alleged text message from 2021 that has turned up as part of the case.

However, Durk’s legal team contends that the text message had been in the custody of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation since July 2021. Durk was the victim of a home invasion during that time, with his legal team saying his phone was “unlawfully seized” during the ensuing investigation.

Lil Durk Trial Starts August 20th

“There is no good reason that the government should have waited until one month before trial to seek a warrant for evidence that has been in law enforcement’s custody since 2021,” Durk’s legal team wrote in their filing.

The judge has yet to make a ruling on this latest request. However, it is clear that Durk is keeping the fight alive in the days leading up to the trial.
