But unfortunately, there’s drama for Ari outside of that situation. As she alleges, per The Neighborhood Talk, a journalist from Texas is verbally harassing her. Just like the other debacle, this one is muddy, but maybe even more so.

All we have to go off of is an Instagram Story post from the social media star from a couple of hours ago. In her upload, Ari Fletcher attaches her allegations to Jasmine Lotts, a multimedia journalist who works for KWTX News Ten. The St. Louis, MO native has allegedly been sending “sick evil messages” in Ari’s DMs per her caption.

She says it’s been making her incredibly emotional, adding, “I can’t stop crying. She is bullying me and harassing me [broken heart sad face emoji].”

Interestingly, when you find Jasmine’s page on Instagram, which Ari also included, her bio’s message says that her account was hacked. It’s unclear as to how long the reporter’s page has purportedly been like this and if it’s a result of her allegedly harassing Ari.

Are Ari Fletcher & Jayda Cheaves Beefing?

At press time, Jasmine has yet to address these murky claims from the Chicago native. For now, its hearsay until shown otherwise.

But as for Ari’s Jayda Cheaves’ saga, we have learned more as of today. The former appeared to shut down the beauty influencer’s allegations during a TikTok livestream. Someone behind a camera filming Moneybagg Yo’s girlfriend asked her if she was buying Jayda’s supposed truth. To that Ari replied, “What the hell?”

Lil Baby’s ex, and mother of one, said that her and the rapper had slept together had been true for a while, though. Folks were dying to know and she fed their appetite’s with this response. “Them rumors are true, no shade. That’s been going on, has been a thing, but I don’t want to talk about it. Like, literally, let’s not talk about it… It’s not rumors, that sh*t is true.”

As to why this all started, that’s also up for debate. It’s worth mentioning that Ari and Jayda do have a broken friendship, with outlets reporting that they went their separate ways a few years back. So, there’s a possibility Jayda could be starting this to get some revenge. But again, that’s merely speculation.

In another video circulating online, Finesse2Tymes addresses Offset and says he wants to fight the Migos rapper. “I been in Atlanta. I’ll whoop Offset, Onset, Out the Set, whoever,” he remarks. “F*ck you talking about, n***a. And guess what, quit trying to set up a fight with me. I ain’t no motherf*cking Triple H. Quit trying to set up a wrestling fight like I’m The Rock. I ain’t Stone Cold Steve Austin… I fight for respect. I don’t fight for money.”

Fans have been having mixed reactions to the antics. “It’s getting boring now.. it’s to much of this everyday,” one user commented when DJ Akademiks posted the Young Thug rant on Instagram. Another added: “I’m so tired of seeing dis dude on my feed.” In response to The Neighborhood Talk sharing the Offset warning, one more countered: “When I don’t see dude on my page I go type his name in just in case I missed sumtin.”

As a result, it’s shame that it feels like he’s been the quieter of the remaining Migos alumni. But with us not being too far into the new year, it sounds like he’s ready to make his mark and soon. Per a recent Instagram Story post, Quavo says his next solo album is “done” and that there’s “more announcements coming soon…..”

Huncho also shares that he’s back in Paris or is just leaving the city. That’s an important thing to mention as back in October 2025, he told press there that him and Pharrell Williams had been cooking in the studio.

More specifically, him and the super producer were going to work at the Louis Vuitton headquarters. “It’s on the way, we dropping. Me and Pharrell. Everything we did, everything we recorded, we recorded the whole album in Paris. We recorded at Louis V headquarters,” Quavo said.

What Music Has Quavo Dropped Lately?

How much P will be on the project is up for interpretation right now, but at least we can pencil him in as a creative mind for it. Outside of that, we don’t have much else we can speculate on or say is official. But Quavo’s language in this latest update has us thinking we may get a lead single or release date in the coming weeks.

The last time we heard from the 34-year-old in a lead role was on the single “New Trip.” The November release was a collab with Yeat and BNYX. In terms of albums, it’s been a lot longer. His last LP was 2023’s Rocket Power, a tribute to Takeoff and his legacy.

Quavo did have a busy 2025 though in terms of features, though. He had an appearance on Metro Boomin’s hit “Take Me Thru Dere,” one on Ty Dolla $ign’s TYCOON, just to name a couple.

Cole first announced the physical release when sharing a release date for The Fall-Off, last week. The product is available for purchase for $49.99 USD on his website. The description reads: “This is the first-ever pressing of The Fall-Off. This limited edition was assembled under the strongest security measures possible in hopes to preserve the reveal of album artwork and music until the moment they were intended to be released. Production demanded full scale, around-the-clock security in multiple facilities across North America to provide the best chance of success. With special packaging modifications, we are calling this first pressing the ‘Stealth Edition,’ and it will be the only time the album will be available in this form.”

When Is J. Cole Releasing “The Fall-Off”

J. Cole will finally be releasing The Fall-Off on February 6 after years of anticipation. Last Wednesday, he shared a trailer for the project on social media. It features a narrator speaking about longevity in the entertainment industry. Fans have since identified the voice as belonging to YouTuber and comedian Dan Harumi.

“Everything is supposed to go away eventually,” Harumi says as Cole cleans his car. “Especially in show business with famous actors or musicians. It’s like, ‘This guy used to be famous and then he fell off.’ They want to point this, this and this and they made this mistake.”

He continues: “So few people reach that level and yes, of course, it’s not gonna last forever because somebody else has to take that spot and that’s how show business has been forever. But no, they want to say that guy fell off, they want to look down on him for going through the natural cycle of rising and falling.”

After sharing the trailer, Cole dropped his first single from the project, “Disc 2 Track 2.” The title suggests that the project will be a double album.

You can see one of them below from X user Fendi. He shared on Thursday, January 15, that Flock was the recipient of a brutal attack, 18 stabs to be specific. A fight reportedly occurred at a New York prison facility, with another prisoner bringing out a sword of some kind.

Users like Fendi also said that Kay Flock’s condition was up in the air, leading to some general worry. However, these “reports” were mere rumors all along, according to the MC’s lawyer, Michael T. Ashley. In a statement to XXL caught by Complex, he shared that Flock is doing better than most would probably expect given his situation.

“I am glad to confirm that Mr. Kevin Perez a.k.a. Kay Flock is quite well. We met earlier this week, and I spoke with him moments ago. His spirits remain high and he is resolved to continue to pursue justice in his case. His notice of appeal was recently filed, and various post-conviction remedies are being pursued on his behalf.”

How Long Is Kay Flock’s Sentence?

But while it’s relieving news for his fans, Flock remains in the frying pan, so to speak. He’s still facing a brutal prison bid of 30 years and five years of supervision afterwards.

He was found guilty of four charges, with all of them being incredibly serious offenses. Racketeering conspiracy, attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon in aid of racketeering, with a firearm discharge offense rounding things out.

These all stem from four shootings from 2020-2021. The judge responsible for the ruling in Flock’s case didn’t hold him responsible for being a gunman. However, due to his strong gang affiliation and role within it, the court was left no choice but to hand down this severe punishment.

As Ashley stated, his client is appealing the decision and asking for a statutory minimum of 10 years or a multi-year, 11-point “punishment plan.” That would include getting his GED, staying off drugs and alcohol, and to use his social media as a vehicle to condemn acts of violence, and more.

Lemon labeled the insults “disgusting,” adding, “I think Nicki Minaj has made it very clear how she feels about African Americans in this country. I don’t think she’s one of them. Under Trump’s rule, she should be deported. I don’t think, reportedly, she is a legal citizen here. She is undocumented. So, she has shown her disdain for African Americans. Why are you supporting her? Why are you buying her record? I have lots of friends who love Nicki Minaj. Why are you supporting this homophobic, bigoted, ignorant woman? You should not be supporting her. Nicki Minaj is clearly out of her depth. She doesn’t understand politics. She doesn’t understand journalism, and I’m not surprised she is weighing in on something that is beyond her capacity.”

Lemon concluded by telling Minaj to “sit the f*ck down,” and brought up her husband, Kenneth Petty, and his criminal history. “Nicki Minaj, f*ck off, stop being a homophobic bigot, get a life and some brains,” he ended.

As for Minaj’s post, she wrote: “DON ‘C*CK SUCKIN’ LEMON IS DISGUSTING. HOW DARE YOU? I WANT THAT THUG IN JAIL!!!!! HE WOULD NEVER DO THAT TO ANY OTHER RELIGION. LOCK HIM UP!!!!!”

Don Lemon’s Church Protest Coverage

Nicki Minaj’s mention of jail for Don Lemon comes after the Justice Department’s assistant attorney general for civil rights, Harmeet Dhillon, issued a warning for the former CNN host on X. “A house of worship is not a public forum for your protest! It is a space protected from exactly such acts by federal criminal and civil laws! Nor does the First Amendment protect your pseudo journalism of disrupting a prayer service,” she wrote, as caught by The New York Post. “You are on notice!”

Lemon responded by claiming not to have any affiliations with the demonstrators, instead suggesting he was there to cover the protest as a journalist. Protests have been going on in Minneapolis since ICE agent Jonathan Ross shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Good, earlier this month.

Quotable Lyrics from You Hear Me Tho

C’s on Riata stood for “Con,” that’s why the cross get threw (Con gang made man)
Some my real partners that I loved and I knew loved me too (I knew it)
Had to get stretched, so why you think it can’t get done to you? (Sometimes, it gotta go how it gotta)
Ain’t tuckin’ none, I’m in LA where rappers chains get tooken (I’m out here)

As caught by Complex, the adult film star posted an absolutely diabolical photo of himself after a training session to his Instagram. In the shot, Jason’s wearing a custom tank top with an image of Adam’s wife, Lena The Plug.

It’s sure to burn into his opponent’s eyes as it’s her biting bed sheets from one of their sex tapes. It got Adam and Lena’s attention, with the former writing back, “You’ve gone too far! KO incoming!!!!”

Lena hopped in to defend her hubby’s honor adding, “You’ll never have me again.” It’s worth noting that most of the trash talk has been done playfully. But at the end of the day, there’s still beef underneath the jokes.

Jason’s aware of that reality. “It’s a little animosity, because you got to remember, I smashed his wife, and all the fans and people are saying all kinds of crazy things. So he feel like he got to regain his manhood, and I’m here to try to make sure that I still take it away.”

That 2023 sex tape between Lena and Jason was given the green light by Adam, which was controversial, to say the least. Internet users have labeled the latter a “cuck” among other things and to be frank, he hasn’t done much to change people’s opinions.

Earlier this month while speaking on his foe, Adam said “He’s my opp, but goddamn he’s good looking.”

While there is a level of disdain on both sides, all of this ultimately to build all three of their brands.

Speaking of which, the boxing match, which Adin Ross’ Brand Risk is organizing, is taking place on Friday, January 23. It’s all going down in Miami, with the card kicking off at 7 p.m. ET on Adin’s Kick channel.

However, the caption that appears at the beginning suggests she’s been tapped into her sibling’s tea spilling. “When your client spilling tea & you link her to another client,” it reads.

After that though, Jazmine doesn’t engage any further and instead explains her upcoming class. But fans in her comment section are and calling on her to defend Jayda when things inevitably go south.

Did Ari Fletcher Sleep With Lil Baby?

A post shared by Watch Live Bitez (@livebitez)

If you aren’t in the know, this weekend, Jayda dropped a bombshell allegation during a TikTok livestream. After catching wind of users on the app asking about a potential sexual past between Ari Fletcher and Lil Baby, she confirmed the rumor.

“Them rumors are true, no shade. That’s been going on, has been a thing, but I don’t want to talk about it. Like, literally, let’s not talk about it… It’s not rumors, that sh*t is true,” she claimed.

There’s still a lot to learn going forward. For example, we don’t know when the rapper and the social media influencer got together. Given how Jayda and Baby’s relationship ended thanks to rampant cheating allegations against the latter, one could theorize that Ari got involved as their split unfolded.

We also don’t know why this rumor started. However, some potential context could be that Ari and Jayda were once close friends. Things have not been great since about 2022-2023, interestingly around the time when Jayda and the Atlanta MC broke up. Maybe Jayda is looking for some revenge?

Baby has yet to speak on the matter, but Moneybagg Yo’s girlfriend has. “What the hell?” she said when asked if she believed Jayda’s accusation.
