Additionally, Rockstar Games made its way to the cover of DAZED magazine. GTA 6 protagonists Lucia and Jason can be seen on the magazine’s front cover, posing as if it is a real photoshoot.

This was paired with an interview in which Rockstar Games offered some major details about the game. For instance, the weight and muscle mechanics from San Andreas are making a return. Moreover, NPCs throughout Vice City are expected to be more responsive to your actions.

If you’re unaware, Vice City is a fictionalized version of Miami. As we reported, there is expected to be a radio station called Dirty South Classics, which will pay homage to the Southern rap of the 90s and early 2000s. Meanwhile, a contemporary rap station is expected as well. Rockstar offered some insight into its soundtrack, revealing that songs from Kodak Black and Sexyy Red will be in the game.

GTA 6 Is Dropping In Three Months

“We love Miami music, particularly Miami bass, going through to more recent Miami artists like Kodak Black and Sexyy Red,” Rockstar explained. It should be noted that Sexyy Red is not a Miami artist. She is from St. Louis, Missouri.

In the leaks, the Sexyy Red song we heard was “Pound Town.” As for Kodak Black, it is currently unknown which song will be used. Elsewhere in the leaks, we heard “Wanderlust” by The Weeknd, which just goes to show Rockstar Games knows what they’re doing.

Let us know if you are excited for GTA 6 in the comments below.

Beyoncé was one of many artists to pay tribute. On her website, the Cowboy Carter songstress explained just how important Parton was to her and the world as a whole.

“Dolly, you were the barometer,” Beyoncé wrote. “The north star. Bold and brilliant. Talented and tenacious. You taught so many lessons on how to be uniquely oneself. I am grateful for your art, your heart, your generosity, your humor, your entrepreneurship. I’m honored that I had the privilege to work with you. Thank you for your profound impact on the world. You are an angel who has made this world a happier place because of your joyful art. You are truly one of one. Rest peacefully.”

Dolly Parton is one of those people who transcended music. She was a pop culture icon through and through, and her passing has saddened millions of people.

These tributes just go to show that Parton was exceptionally revered by her peers. You would be hard-pressed to find someone who had a negative thing to say about her.

The forensic evidence in the case supports the prosecution’s theory that there was a single shooter in the Cadillac that fired multiple rounds at the BMW that Tupac and Suge Knight drove in. Moreover, they said that the shell casing resembled those of a .40-caliber Glock.

Ultimately, this pushes the prosecution’s theory further into a space that backs their narrative. Keefe D isn’t charged with pulling the trigger. He’s currently facing a single count of murder with a deadly weapon with the intent to promote, further, or assist a criminal gang. The prosecution believes that he masterminded and orchestrated the attack on Tupac and Suge Knight after they assaulted his nephew, Orlando Anderson.

Former Gang Detective Testifies In Tupac Trial

Robert Ladd, a former Compton police officer, also testified this week, describing Keefe D’s alleged role in the South Side Compton Crips. Ladd said that Keefe D acted as a gang leader whose authority determined whether younger members of the gang could act. Specifically, Ladd said Keefe D was a “shot caller” and that the younger gang members would not have fired at Tupac without his authorization. 

The trial will undoubtedly have more testimonies that help paint a clearer picture of what happened the night Tupac was gunned down in Las Vegas in 1996. We will keep you posted on any further updates on the trial.

Keefe D is the first person to ever be put on trial for Tupac’s death. If convicted, he faces life in prison. For Davis, this trial is a matter of life and death. His legal team is doing everything it can to get a not guilty verdict, and only time will tell if they are successful.

However, during an interview with TMZ, Suge Knight suggested that Keefe D’s legal team is going well beyond conventional tactics. He alleged that Davis’ legal team offered him $1 million to take the stand and claim Keefe wasn’t in the Cadillac that allegedly shot Tupac. Knight went on to say that his loyalty to the legendary artist “can’t be compromised.” Simply put, he’s not taking the alleged bribe.

Suge Knight On Keefe D

Elsewhere in his interview, Suge Knight went after The Game, who said that Keefe D was being paraded around as some sort of scapegoat. Furthermore, The Game previously said that Tupac’s killer has been known for 15 years. Suge Knight refutes these claims completely and believes Game has no clue what he is talking about.

Knight is refusing to say whether or not Keefe D is guilty. In his interview with TMZ, he opted to point the finger at crooked cops.

Keefe D’s murder trial continues this week in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The rainbow-haired rapper loves to call people out for their alleged hypocrisy, and that is what he has been doing with Durk. On Monday, there was a narrative going around that Durk was snitching on OTF Vonni. People like Wack 100 have explained why this is not actually the case. However, 6ix9ine has decided to run with the narrative anyway.

Lawyer Moe Gangat is known for covering criminal trials involving rappers. When the Lil Durk snitching narrative started, he was quick to dispel it. Effectively, he told people to avoid listening to bad faith actors like 6ix9ine, who are pushing an agenda. Tekashi didn’t like that, and he took aim at Gangat on social media Tuesday.

“Stop listening to this ni**a right here,” 6ix9ine said. “This ni**a is not a lawyer. He gets everything wrong…I want you to know. This ni**a follows rappers around for free. He books his own hotel, transportation, flight. Nobody pays him to do this coverage. He does this for free, for fame, for clout.”

According to XXL, Gangat was quick to respond to 6ix9ine. Moreover, when you dig into his background, it becomes clear that he has a law degree from Georgetown and has been in the profession for over a decade.

“This page is not into the gossip and the rumors,” Gangat replied. “As you remember, we covered your case. And we covered how you had a lot of defenses, and there was very little evidence against you. And then we heard how you snitched and cooperated.”

6ix9ine has never been someone who cares about these finer details. All he cares about is coming out on top. There is nothing in the world that will change his mind.

The docuseries will see Hov break down his life and his bars from eight of his projects alongside Rick Rubin, who serves as the interviewer, executive producer, and director (marking his directorial documentary debut, per Billboard). The trailer sees JAŸ dive into his writing process and more with Rubin. 

The HBO Max series falls in line with much of what JAŸ-Z has been pushing this year: honoring a legacy that began 30 years ago with Reasonable Doubt. “Can’t Knock the Hustle” and “What More Can I Say” to “Meet the Parents’ and “The Story of O.J.” are among the songs that will be explored at length, along with other songs from Reasonable Doubt, Vol. 3… Life and Times of S. Carter, The Dynasty: Roc La Familia, The Blueprint, The Black Album, American Gangster, Watch the Throne and 4:44.

As Ross explains in a recent video, this surveillance footage is unlike anything the public has seen before. The footage lasts a lot longer, giving a fuller picture of the altercation involving Von, Quando Rondo, and Lul Timm.

Furthermore, Trap Lore Ross stated that the footage was in 4K and showcases various new angles of the incident. For instance, the commentator revealed that you can see Von blindside Quando Rondo with a punch. This subsequently leads to the ensuing altercation and ends with Von being shot.

King Von Discussed At Lil Durk Trial

Trap Lore Ross then dispelled some myths from Von’s passing. When Von died, there were theories that the cops had shot him instead. Ross states that the footage completely dispels this notion. Furthermore, there were rumblings that had Von survived, he would have been paralyzed. However, again, Ross says that this can’t be true, as Von was moving his legs while being taken to the hospital.

Von’s passing is at the forefront of Lil Durk’s trial. Durk is accused of ordering a hit on Quando Rondo in the aftermath of Von’s death. Quando Rondo eventually survived the alleged hit, although his cousin, Lul Pab, was killed instead.

OTF Vonni has pleaded guilty to orchestrating the hit, although he claims he did so on Lil Durk’s orders. Durk’s defense has refuted these claims in court.

Day 3 of Durk’s trial is set to continue on Wednesday.

There was an outpouring of tributes from just about everyone after the “Jolene” singer passed, and that was largely a reflection of the respect she commanded across the board. In a post shared to socials, Eminem revealed that Dolly Parton even reached out to him to congratulate him on his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, despite not being fully in tune with hip-hop. 

“I’m sorry we never got a chance to meet, but getting this note from Dolly really had an impact on me. She definitely didn’t have to take the time to do it.  Even for a kid who mostly listened to rap music, she was an icon. A superstar in every sense. Rest easy Dolly. And thank you for the kind words,” he wrote.

Dolly Parton’s Message To Eminem

The message that Dolly sent to him captured the respect and appreciation she had for Eminem. On top of praising his performance and admitting her blind spots when it comes to hip-hop, she said that she’s aware that he’s “the very best at” rapping.

“Aside from that, I hope what I have to say will not seem weird or strange to you but I have always felt some unexplained connection to you like I know you somehow. I had hoped to meet you at the show but you know how nuts those things are, personally I hate ‘em and I missed my chance but maybe someday we’ll meet. In the meantime, keep doing what you’re doing because you do it so well and no matter how complex your world may be just know you are very special and touch people in ways you don’t even know,” she wrote.

The woman showed up to the gate at the AMP house, and she even had her two-year-old daughter with her. All of this was captured in a security video, where the woman could be seen making the paternity allegations against Cenat.

Cenat made it crystal clear during his stream that he had never met the woman in his life. Furthermore, he accused the woman of rehearsing the entire confrontation with her daughter. When Cenat asked who the girl’s father was, she simply said “you,” which tipped him off to this possibility.

Cenat noted that the entire situation had him scared. So much so that he and his security had no intentions of opening up the gate to let the woman and her daughter through.

The streamer’s friend Davis came through, and when he saw the situation unfolding, he opted to hop the gate to avoid someone slipping through. Cenat praised Davis for his quick thinking as the situation unfolded.

This latest situation involving Kai Cenat comes weeks after his most recent season of Stream University. It marked his long-awaited return to streaming. Since that time, Cenat has been a lot more consistent and finds himself back on top of the Twitch charts.
